40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: for Bryce Young.

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Why why did you see the.

42
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: Stat about Howard Baker and Sam Donald both left the Panthers.

43
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: They got good.

44
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh the Panthers suck. Okay, there's a trend.

45
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: The Panthers just suck. And it's not like the guy

46
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: got bad all of a sudden, like.

47
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 5: They're all different coaches. It's just the organization can mess

48
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 5: it up.

49
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: That bad organizations usually stay bad regardless of who the

50
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: coaches are, right, Like the head of the snake is

51
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the owner who then hires look at the Cowboy.

52
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 5: I know, I know you're gonna say that, because that's

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 5: what everyone's told me. Like as soon as since Jerry

54
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 5: Jones gonna be the owner, they're never gonna win a

55
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 5: Super Bowl.

56
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why you took that so personally.

57
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: I'm just saying because I hear that all the time.

58
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: You can even look at successful franchises and there's a

59
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: reason why they stay successful, the same reason the franchises don't.

60
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: Look at the Chiefs, they were never really that bad.

61
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: They just haven't been that bad, even before Mahomes, even

62
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: when they had Alex Smith, Even in their years where

63
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: they weren't that good, they rarely had bad years. You

64
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: can go to switch sports, go to basketball. Since the

65
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors have changed on, I mean, they're always

66
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. They do a good job in the draft,

67
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: they do a good job developing. Look at the Knicks,

68
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: they suck and they've remained sucky. James Dolland's a sucky owner.

69
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: Look at the Redskins turned football club turn commanders.

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: They sucked.

71
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: So yes, justice for justice. They didn't even give him

72
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: a chance. I watched mel Kiper do this whole rant on.

73
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 6: How c. J.

74
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: Strout played two whole preseason games mostly and how somebody

75
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: else and Bryce Young played one drive at the end

76
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: of the very last game against Scrubs, and how they've

77
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: switched coaches and how they come. Justice for Bryce Young.

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: He didn't get bad all of a sudden, So yeah, smaller,

79
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: do you.

80
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 7: Think that's a coach decision?

81
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Or Pepper, who knows the temper could put it in

82
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: a roulette will and been like, well to sleep with them.

83
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: So Bryce Young, this will probably great for him. Hopefully

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: he gets out of there. Yeah, hopefully you can get

85
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: out of there. It'd be hilarious. If we have traded

86
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: to Miami, that'd be awesome. He goes, he starts with

87
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, but he may not start for a year two,

88
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: but he's twenty two years old. He's getting run.

89
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: Justice for Bryce.

90
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna be on the whole. Bryce Young sucks.

91
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: I do not think he sucks. It sucks for him

92
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: right now. He has no confidence. Yeah, yeah, that's all

93
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to say. Y justice for Bryce.

94
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 4: Yo.

95
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you know a lot of things that were not

96
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: going right, and that is the biggest in the whole

97
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: world out.

98
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 8: Of all number one Baker and Sam since they left

99
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 8: forty six touchdowns for interceptions.

100
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Look at Baker like he leaves there, goes to the

101
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Rams for like that one game crushes It's the contract.

102
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 7: I forgot about the money net football comes in like

103
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 7: a day.

104
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you get out, you get out of Browns

105
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: are before that because he got drafted by the Browns.

106
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but the Browns notoriously a crappy organization. Yeah

107
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: for a long period of time. Yeah, Like you rarely

108
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: see organizations that are really great for ten years and

109
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: then piss poor for ten to twelve years. Usually there's

110
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: a couple of years because eventually contracts catch up or uh,

111
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, you can't pay for all your players. You

112
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: got to kind of start over and rebuild. But rarely

113
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: are team's really great, Like the Patriots will eventually bounce back.

114
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: It may take them a couple of years to do so,

115
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: but they have good leadership. Yeah, anyway, Bryce sounds awesome.

116
00:04:58,800 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: Glad everybody's here.

117
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Let's go over and do the tittle tattle.

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 4: Here you go.

119
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: His name ever, the tittle tattle's.

120
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 8: Just talking about it Bryce Young being benched Panthers. Back

121
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 8: to square one. Where do you rank David Tepper in

122
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 8: the ranks of worst owners in sports?

123
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: Well, well, I wouldn't rate him the worst because they're

124
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: in a small market. We don't talk about small small

125
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: markets as much, so yeah, it seems like a pretty

126
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: sucky owner. But I mean it's the guys like the

127
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: Dolans in New York, because when the Knicks can't be good,

128
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: you're like, why can New York not be good? And

129
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: not just not good? A couple years here? A couple years,

130
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: they're like, they haven't been good. They were finally pretty

131
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: good this year. Yeah, for the first time. So what

132
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: do you think New York Casey is Dolan a sucky owner?

133
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, he's a pretty pretty sucky owner. I will say,

134
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 9: to give him some credit, the Rangers are pretty good

135
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 9: and that's the hockey team in MSG, So he does

136
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 9: half his job.

137
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: Correct, He's a sucky basketball in it.

138
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: He's a sucky basketball good.

139
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 10: They haven't been, yeah, I mean except for last year.

140
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 10: So I mean, we'll see what happens.

141
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 9: We picked up a bunch of new players, so maybe

142
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 9: this is the start of something new. Leon Rose, maybe

143
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 9: he's said, you know what, let me just let me

144
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 9: just handle.

145
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 10: This right now.

146
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: Dan Gilbert comes to mind. He did win championships, but

147
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: he screwed up the Lebron thing, and then Lebron happened

148
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: to come.

149
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 7: I mean he got lucky.

150
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: I feel like he got very he got very lucky,

151
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: got the first pick. Yeah, so Dan Gilbert is terrible.

152
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned the Redskins a minute ago and then the

153
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: command luckily that he sold the team. He's terrible?

154
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 10: Is Tepper the new Snyder?

155
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: And I just felt like Dan Snyder, Yes, except without

156
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: all like the sexual allegations, racists, all the allegation.

157
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 6: That's fair.

158
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Just felt like a bad owner. Yeah, but again he's

159
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: in a small market, so we don't talk about it

160
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: as much because the Panthers, they don't have the expectation

161
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: of being great.

162
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 10: Yeah.

163
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, it sucks for Bryce Young. Justice for

164
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: Bryce Young. I'm gonna put Dolan and Dan Gilbert though,

165
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: as my leaders.

166
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, all right, what else?

167
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 6: All?

168
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 3: Right?

169
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 7: Which ranked matchup? Are you looking forward to the most

170
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 7: this weekend?

171
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, the Illinois Nebraska games fun because Illinois won.

172
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: They had a big win last week, right, and they

173
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: beat Kansas a week before that? Who they played last week?

174
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: Or?

175
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: Am I mixing up to Kansas?

176
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 7: This was two weeks ago.

177
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: That was a big win.

178
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 7: But I do I'm not sure they played.

179
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: Last week Nebraska. You know their quarterback is just doing costplay,

180
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. He does everything just like Patrick Hohmes. And

181
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: are they good? Right? I mean that's that that that

182
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: game will be fun?

183
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 4: Uh?

184
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: The USC Michigan game. But is Michigan's not? I don't.

185
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't think Michigan's any good. But they both have

186
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: numbers beside them.

187
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean USC's favored at Michigan, so Michigan's dogged.

188
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 7: Again.

189
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: Michigan's the top twenty team, so Vegas doesn't care about

190
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: the number beside their name.

191
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm still surprised.

192
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 8: I mean, I guess they lost to a really good

193
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 8: Texas team, but still it's like they look they don't

194
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 8: look very good.

195
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: In the end.

196
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: This was an easy answer for me, but I tried

197
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: not to put it first because of personal reason. But

198
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Tennessee game is going to be the game

199
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: of the week at least, maybe not close score like

200
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: the but the game most people pay attention to because,

201
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: first of all, it's Oklahoma's first SEC game. It's Josh

202
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Hipel who won a national championship as the Oklahoma quarterback

203
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: coaching Tennessee. It's Josh Hipel who is also the offensive

204
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: coordinator Oklahoma and got fired going back to Tennessee. So

205
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: or to Oklahoma, excuse me, so that that's gonna be

206
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: a fun game for many reasons. First, Oklahoma as a sea game,

207
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the old the old champion, coming back coaching against his

208
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: former team, all of that. So that to me is

209
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: the game I'm looking forward to the most. And I

210
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: don't know who I'm rooting for.

211
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 7: Go Balls.

212
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: What do you mean you have family?

213
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm rooting because I mean, I like.

214
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 5: But you're not a Balls fan, right, and then your

215
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 5: wife is a huge Ou fan.

216
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. And I like Oklahoma. No, no,

217
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't dislike Oklahoma, which is almost like I like,

218
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: but I really only like two teams. Team one which

219
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: I love is Arkansas and Team two, one of the

220
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: teams that's allowed us to come to their facilities, and

221
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: it didn't matter which one it is, but I just

222
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: like I.

223
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 5: Like them, Oh, either one, any any one of those

224
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 5: like I like my root for them because we've.

225
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: Personally gotten to spend time with him ever and we

226
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: feel like, oh they're actual humans. We so like. I

227
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 1: love Arkansas, I like any of the teams we spent

228
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: time with going up to too much access.

229
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we have not been to Tennessee.

230
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But I'm saying I don't know that

231
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: I have a rooting interest because one, I don't want

232
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 1: Oklahoma coming into the SEC going oh wow, this was

233
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: much easier than we thought because I don't have to

234
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: deal with that part of my family.

235
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: But it's saying that is Texas saying that, but Texas.

236
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Is really good where Oklahoma's kind of borderline good. But

237
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee is so obnoxious. I think I'm rooting for Oklahoma

238
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: talking it out here, like what hurts worse living in

239
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: Tennessee where people won't shut up about being everywhere with

240
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: all the all we wanted it all this year, just

241
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: all over everywhere Oklahoma. My family being like, well, I

242
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: told you. This is that's a I'm being pulled. I'm

243
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: stretch armstrong being pulled both in directions. Yeah, I'm gonna go.

244
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I guess I'm pulled for Oklahoma or a tie, A

245
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: zero zero tie, scoreless and they have to call the game.

246
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: All right, we're done, guys, We've got five overtimes. We're done.

247
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the game I look for to the most.

248
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: All right, next up?

249
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 8: All right, which week two injury? Do you think we'll

250
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 8: have the biggest impact on their team? Cooper Cup, Isaiah Pacheco,

251
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 8: A J. Brown, and then even Deebo Samuel.

252
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: What's interesting about Cooper Cup is I think by itself,

253
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup, that would suck. But now you have Pookah

254
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: and Cooper both out to no. I got a text

255
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: earlier ask if iul play a littleide receiver this week?

256
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: So I think that that with that, that's that's tough.

257
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: He's on I r uh checko. And they went and

258
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: got a couple a couple of the who do they pick?

259
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they started.

260
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 4: A J.

261
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Brown is not on the I R though, right, Hampshi.

262
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: They're not putting them on max four week or minimum

263
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: four weeks.

264
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: And then you said Debo as a fourth Yeah, sucks.

265
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Deebo sucks because McCaffrey is also out. Yeah, I think

266
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be a j Brown that is affecting

267
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: their team. That the Rams are just in trouble, are

268
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: just in trouble. But agent but the Eagles, although, I mean,

269
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: that's a bad loss last week. Okay, maybe they should

270
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: have thrown it, should have caught it.

271
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: That's tough.

272
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: It's there's just multiple injuries here that affected the team

273
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: in big ways, like the Cooper Cup injury and the

274
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: Pooka injury. That's debilitating to a team trying to throw

275
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: the wall. But also, I'm gonna take the check off

276
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: the list here. He's fine to watch. He's at good

277
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 1: good year last year, runs violently, he gives them. But

278
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: I'm gona take them off the list.

279
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 7: Because it's the Chiefs.

280
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: They'll figure it out. Where the Eagle.

281
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles will figure it out too. But

282
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: that was not a good loss.

283
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 2: You can kind of see it in the last game,

284
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 2: and I.

285
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Think it's Deebo. I think I'm gonna have to go

286
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: to Deebo because Deebo and McCaffrey like their two biggest weapons.

287
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: That's one and two. I'm sure Brandon and I, but

288
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: he's never really had to be the wide receiver one

289
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: because they have all these other weapons that allow him

290
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: to not be bracketed constantly. So I'm gonna go Debo

291
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: as the late entry and the winner there.

292
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 7: He's kind of a quiet guy that gets hurt a lot.

293
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

294
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's also nobody really talks about. But he runs violently.

295
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean he does. He gets hurt because he's just

296
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: in a lot of plays. He just gets hit a lot.

297
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Because him and I are built the same.

298
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 7: I can see it. He reminds me when he runs.

299
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 7: I think of you, thank you, thank you.

300
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 8: All right, next up, last one with to his future

301
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 8: still in question. Do you think the Dolphins should go

302
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 8: out and trade or pick someone up.

303
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it's probably easier said than done.

304
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: I mean they have that.

305
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 10: I saw they picked up Huntley.

306
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, Huntley. Yeah, we would know because every time Lamar

307
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: got hurt, Huntley would play pretty well and he kind

308
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: of looks like, yeah he runs, so the hunt and

309
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they plan on Huntley to

310
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: play or Scalar if Scaler Thompson again, the.

311
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 7: Last I've heard it Skyler start.

312
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

313
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Jamis has a fun idea, uh from Cleveland,

314
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: but I think Clevelan's got thrown issues where they won't

315
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: like go Jamie.

316
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: They showed a.

317
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 10: Little Tannehill reunion to oh Danny call him up.

318
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know, yes, system, I don't know that

319
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: he does what they need that quarterback to do. But yeah, yeah,

320
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: I think if they if they peel off a couple

321
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: l's in a row, they'll probably be looking at the

322
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 1: free agent market. What do you Garoppolo? I know, I

323
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: don't think there's an answer. I like. I like Huntley,

324
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: so I think they did the right thing. He's their

325
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: veteran quote quarterback they picked up. But they're like the

326
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: Dolphins planning to pick up a veteran quarterback and ended

327
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: up being I think could actually be serviceable. I mean,

328
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: he did well with the he made a pro ball

329
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, he did well with the Ravens, even

330
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: p J Walker, who were him.

331
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

332
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 8: I think he's out and not really doing anything right now,

333
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 8: but there's probably a reason.

334
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: Right now. The Starbucks.

335
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, tittletottle, thank you name.

336
00:13:59,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: The town.

337
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: Okay, let's build our parley feel pretty good about this one.

338
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: Okay, come on.

339
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Here's the thing though, I think Arkansas beats Auburn straight up,

340
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: and they're they're being given three and a half humongous points.

341
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: Now they have to go to Auburn. But I think

342
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Arkansas beats Auurn straight up. I respect the healing, we'd

343
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: as good we'd do, and Auburn sucks. So we're going

344
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: to Arkansas plus three and a half. You don't, don't,

345
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: don't bet money line. Take Arkansas plus three and a half.

346
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: And I also think I would take money line Florida.

347
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: And then if Florida's given five and a half points

348
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: at Missisippi State, Missippi State is terrible, like Toledo spanked them.

349
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: I've been there though, with Toledo beating us the Arkansas

350
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: got that's terrible, terrible.

351
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 4: Ed.

352
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: Now we're there, I'm gonna go.

353
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: Screw it. Don't screw it. Do I screw it? Or

354
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: I don't screw it, screw screw it.

355
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm taking three money lines here, just to make it easy.

356
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: Uh Utah, arc No, I don't want to take the

359
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,720

Speaker 1: sam Us saying I bet. Okay, thanks, all right. Here's

395
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: our chat with former NFL wide receiver Golden Tate. Golden

396
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: won the Blitnikoff at Notre Dame best wide receiver in

397
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: college football in two thousand and nine. He also won

398
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: Super Bowl forty eight with Seahawks. Played about every position

399
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: in high school. He grew up not too far from Nashville,

400
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: and we talked about he's a pun or two. He

401
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: did everything. You can follow him on social media at showtime. Tate.

402
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Here he is Golden Tate.

403
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: I didn't know.

404
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: I was looking at notes like deep notes because I

405
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 1: knew I knew about your career as a like Detroit

406
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: is what I think of when I think about you.

407
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, where do most people associate you with NFL?

408
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,719
Speaker 11: Wise, if we're in the West Coast, probably Seattle because

409
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 11: more Seattle fans that out there. But if you're new

410
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 11: to football and kind of just now becoming your fan

411
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 11: rather fantasy football, people probably know me for Detroit?

412
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: Did you was your biggest deal with the Giants though?

413
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: Was that like your most significant you know, nontract?

414
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 6: No, you know what?

415
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 11: The Detroit contract and the Giants contract were roughly about

416
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 11: the same. Yeah, except for with Detroit I was signed

417
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 11: a five year deal. Giants was a four year deal,

418
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 11: but the money was pretty comfortable.

419
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: I didn't know when I went a deep dive, I

420
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: didn't know you play baseball, Notre Dame like to me,

421
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: blown away, like that's that's that's so like elite. But

422
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: how do you spend your time training? Because again, if

423
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: you want to be really great at something, even if

424
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: you're natural at it, meaning I'm pretty funny, but if

425
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to get really good at whatever I'm doing,

426
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: like it takes time and effort and energy dedicated to it.

427
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 1: But you batted like two seven of your freshman year.

428
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: That's wild and Notre Dame while also playing football. How

429
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: did you how did you split your time?

430
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 6: You know, that's a good question.

431
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 11: God gifted me with a lot of athleticism, and I was.

432
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: Able to look yet mine by the way, and I

433
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: was able to, like add live a lot with sports.

434
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 11: Because I was just so gifted that I could go

435
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 11: out on the football field and probably go out the

436
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 11: night before and still succeed and have one hundred plus

437
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 11: shreds a touchdown as long as I got enough passes.

438
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 11: Same thing with baseball early on before they had the

439
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 11: Scott Report. But then they had the Scot Report and

440
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 11: they started throwing me breaking balls. And so I go

441
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 11: from like batten three seventy five to start the season

442
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 11: till then I would have like a strikeout of game

443
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 11: and maybe go over four like multiple times a week.

444
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 6: And then they kind of figured it out.

445
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 11: But that was kind of part of the deal coming

446
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 11: out of high school. So I was drafted out of

447
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 11: high school to the MLB by yeah, by Diamondbacks, and

448
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 11: then again during after during my rookie season by the Giants,

449
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 11: and yeah, they won the World Series and I was pissed.

450
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 6: I said, man, I should have been playing baseball.

451
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 11: Had me a World Series, Little did I know I'd be,

452
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 11: you know, be a super Bowl champion. But it takes

453
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 11: a lot of balance, and I've always taken a lot

454
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 11: of pride and just kind.

455
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 6: Of being everywhere.

456
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 11: I was able to balance my on the field life

457
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 11: with my off the field life, with also the academics

458
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 11: part of it, along with having a girlfriend. And I

459
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 11: just took a lot of pride and trying, you know,

460
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 11: managing that. And so when I got recruited, that was

461
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 11: kind of part of the deal, like, hey, if I'm

462
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 11: coming here, I'm playing baseball and football because I didn't

463
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 11: know what I wanted to do, like long term or

464
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 11: what I had a better chance of going pro at.

465
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 11: And Coach Wish is like, yeah, you know what, that's fine.

466
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 11: And so my first year didn't go as playing in

467
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 11: football nor baseball.

468
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: What do you mean in football didn't go playing did you?

469
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 6: I didn't come in and play right away.

470
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 11: So it was probably really important for me to be

471
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 11: in those off the off season meetings and Matt drills

472
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 11: and like these five thirty workouts, but I, you know,

473
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 11: stay with him play baseball. And then my second year

474
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 11: I break out onto the scene as a sophomore, and

475
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 11: I think I put up like over a thousand yards

476
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 11: a bunch of touchdowns, and then went over to the

477
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 11: baseball thing and had a much more successful sophomore season

478
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 11: in baseball. But it was awesome because going from NFL

479
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 11: football college football shape to baseball was a piece of.

480
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: Case, because you were in such great shape that it

481
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: wasn't oh my gosh.

482
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 11: I would go from my running like gassers and getting

483
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 11: crushed physically and.

484
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 6: Mentally to like, now I'm just going to hang out in.

485
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 11: The outfield while in the Midwest it's freaking twenty three

486
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 11: degrees with the windchill of whatever, and the boys are

487
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 11: just waking up at five thirty doing these hour and

488
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 11: a half matt drills, which absolutely crushed you.

489
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 6: And then you got me just in I'm in Texas.

490
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 12: Kicked up catching fly balls, looking at clovers on the ground,

491
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 12: this big chilling, going one for four, and I'm like,

492
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 12: that's all I need to fifty.

493
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 6: Whatever, and so it was a great It was awesome

494
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 6: for me.

495
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 11: And then I enter the NFL Draft after my third

496
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 11: season at Notre Dame and didn't even make it to

497
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 11: my third season at baseball.

498
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Why did you choose Notre Dame? Was it very much?

499
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: Because you wanted to do both sports and they had

500
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: the ability to put you on a big stage with both.

501
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:47,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it came.

502
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 11: And this is the first mature decision I made probably

503
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 11: in my life, all right, because look, I got being

504
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 11: recruited by them. I went to poach on Paul, which

505
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 11: is in Hendersonville, probably thirty minutes north of here. And

506
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 11: when Charlie White shows up and recruits me, he at

507
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 11: this point he's got like three Super Bowl rings and

508
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 11: he's talking to me like this with them on showing up.

509
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 6: Well, if you want to win championship, this boy's like,

510
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 6: you want to win championships and you know where to

511
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 6: go and go pro?

512
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 8: You know?

513
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 6: I would consider not to day and I.

514
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 11: Was like what, But it came down to, all right,

515
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 11: if I have the opportunity to go pro in football,

516
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 11: we got a guy who's won world championships. Right, if

517
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 11: I graduate from here, I'll have probably a small step

518
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 11: up on a lot of people.

519
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: Right.

520
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 11: And also I saw opportunity to come in and play

521
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 11: right away as a true freshman on the football field.

522
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 11: And then lastly they're willing to let me play baseball

523
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 11: and football because I didn't know what I wanted to

524
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 11: do in long term.

525
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 6: So between those four things, it's like, you know what

526
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 6: I want.

527
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 11: On one one trip my official visit, it was in

528
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 11: the middle of winter in South Bend, Indiana. They were

529
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 11: preparing to get smacked by LSU and like one of

530
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 11: the nice good bowls, and I was like, you know what,

531
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 11: that's right, I'm going Notre Dame.

532
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: And you went in the winter and still made the

533
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: decision to go to Notre Dame.

534
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was tripping, Like, but you know what.

535
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: That winter there's just different.

536
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: It's awful.

537
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 2: Did you get used to it though? Living there? Because

538
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 2: it's like I wake up.

539
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: Early in the morning every like three thirty every morning

540
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: to do my radio show and people are like, you

541
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,439
Speaker 1: must get I never get. I never get used to it,

542
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: Like it just sucks every day. I'm just better at

543
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: performing while it sucks. Is that what it's like when

544
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: it's just cold.

545
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 2: All the time?

546
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 11: Man, it makes it it's tough getting up to go

547
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 11: to class and our class or our campus is so

548
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 11: small that you can pretty much walk the entire thing

549
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 11: within probably forty five minutes, so you're not really driving

550
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 11: the class. And everybody had bikes those mornings or just

551
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 11: really all day in the winter. It's a struggle, but

552
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 11: you get used to it because there are some essentials

553
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 11: that non negotiable you have to have, and one of

554
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 11: those is chapstick. Bro Like you can put on three jackets,

555
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 11: four pairs of sweat, some ugg boots or some timblins,

556
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 11: some gloves, have a beanie with a little fur, but

557
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 11: you don't got that chapstick. Dog That win is ripping

558
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 11: them lips to pieces. And I learned that and that's

559
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 11: what I remember most about being cold, is like, man,

560
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 11: that wind, she'll hit you. It's like rip them lips apart.

561
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 11: And so as long as I have my chapstick, I

562
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 11: can do it everything else.

563
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: Any part of your or junior decision to get out

564
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame because it's still cold, you want to

565
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: get drafted to a warmer weather city.

566
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 11: You know, No, that didn't even cross my mind. And

567
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 11: I honestly like being from the South, Like I didn't

568
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 11: even really miss it all that much. For me, I've

569
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 11: always if I'd rather be practicing in the cold than

570
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 11: practicing in like the ninety five degree heat with humanity,

571
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 11: because like I, as a runner, you get so tired

572
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 11: so quickly because the heat. Yeah, you just can't get

573
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 11: oxygen to your muscles fast enough. And then in the

574
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 11: cold you take them in the war them up. But

575
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 11: at least I can breathe. I can run forever. I

576
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 11: feel like it.

577
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: What was it like going from because in high school

578
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: you were the punter?

579
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: Are you the punter too?

580
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 6: You do everything?

581
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you punted, you ran the ball, not punt,

582
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: and then go around there. I think you did all

583
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: the same.

584
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: I think like both sides at the same time, not

585
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: even really possible, but so you basically they just got

586
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: you the ball.

587
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

588
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 11: I was listed as an athlete on Rivals. I don't

589
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 11: know if you guys have heard of that, but four

590
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 11: star athlete and man. Sports has always just been my getaway.

591
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 11: It didn't matter what was going on in life, what

592
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 11: I was dealing with at home or in school or

593
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 11: you know. Sports made me always feel like I was

594
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 11: good enough, and so I held onto that dearly and

595
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 11: really took a lot of pride and just being the

596
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 11: best I possibly could, And going to practice in high

597
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 11: school was never like I was going to practice like

598
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 11: all right, I'm going ahead to play play some football,

599
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 11: play some basketball, play some baseball, and I just had

600
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 11: a blast with it.

601
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: High school, I assume you felt extremely dominant, like man,

602
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: amongst boys, just because it looked like you're bigger, faster,

603
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: maybe not taller, but faster, stronger than everybody.

604
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: College.

605
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: As soon as you get on campus, do you feel

606
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: like I'm already as good as ease?

607
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 2: Like where does that?

608
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,160
Speaker 1: Where did you fall athletically as an eighteen year old

609
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: with like twenty one to twenty two year olds, you.

610
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 11: Know, athletically, I've always sized people up and be like, yeah,

611
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 11: I'm the best athlete on this field. And maybe it's

612
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 11: a sickness in a way, but there's not too many

613
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 11: times I let anyone believe, or myself believe that anyone

614
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 11: was better than me and anything like.

615
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: You felt when you got to Notre Dame, you were

616
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: already as good of.

617
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 2: Athlete as anybody there a thousand cent and and that was.

618
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 6: Also my issue.

619
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 11: I was super duper athletic, like I have coaches to

620
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 11: this day, but man, you were one of the most

621
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 11: gifted athletes I've ever coached, like I could do just

622
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 11: about anything I felt like as a young man. But

623
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 11: the reason why I didn't play my rookie season in Seattle,

624
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 11: in my freshman season and it're in because I couldn't

625
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 11: get over the mental part of it. Like I was

626
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 11: just an athlete out there just running around and you throw.

627
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: The ball up.

628
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 6: I was playing backyard foot. You throw the ball up,

629
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go get it. That's it.

630
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 11: Like now, knowing plays and route depths and where I

631
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 11: fit into the play.

632
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 6: That took some time.

633
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 11: But once I got that in addition to my athleticism,

634
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 11: that's when I became like dangerous in the NFL.

635
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: When you got to the NFL, the speed of the game,

636
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: did it feel similar to going high school to college

637
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: or was it so much more significant in college to

638
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: pro just seeing the other guys faster.

639
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, the pro level is it's no joke. It's cutthroat.

640
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 11: You're seeing we get Pete Carroll his first year there,

641
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 11: New GM Schnyder first year there, and as a rookie,

642
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 11: I'm seeing guys from the moment I get in, Guys

643
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 11: are coming in, are being cut Guys are coming in

644
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 11: guys been cut. I mean I think that year long

645
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 11: we had over like two hundred transactions of guys just

646
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 11: coming in. I'm first round is getting cut, second round

647
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 11: is getting cut. Bringing in every person who ever come

648
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 11: from USC to give them a chance.

649
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 6: And it was like, this is the NFL.

650
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: What like adult adult men too, Like adult adult like

651
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: full beards, like thirtye year old men.

652
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 6: You got grown men who are trying to feed their families. Period.

653
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 11: There's no scholarship, Like, you better show up, show out,

654
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 11: and you got a leash. If you're like a first, second, third,

655
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 11: fourth rounder, they'll be somewhat patient with you.

656
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 6: But after that you might not get a single rep

657
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 6: all week.

658
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 11: And they throw you into the game and they expect

659
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 11: you to know your assignment, performing at high level, and

660
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 11: if you don't, you might get cut. They don't think

661
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 11: the NFL does not feel sorry for you or anyone else.

662
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 11: The show must go on.

663
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: When you leave your junior year at Notre Dame and

664
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: you get in the draft, where did you feel like

665
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: you would go in the draft? Because you end up

666
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: going in the second round? Right, yes, where did where

667
00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: did you think you would go? Did you was there

668
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: a play that you thought you would go in in

669
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: what spot did you feel like was numerically would be

670
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: the best and worst situation? Did you think on the

671
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: end of the first we were agent saying that at all.

672
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I was told into the first round, possibly

673
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 11: up to maybe halfway through the second round, depending on

674
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 11: who's available, what teams need. But I'm sitting pretty good

675
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 11: this year. I'm coming out my junior season. I just

676
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 11: won the blittan A cough which is the best receiver

677
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 11: in college football. I put up on record setting numbers essentially, Yeah.

678
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 2: Like sixteen hundred yards. Yeah, yeah, I mean, was it easy?

679
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: Was that year easy?

680
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 11: It kinda because, like we were always down and so

681
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 11: you always had to air it out when we had

682
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 11: Jimmy Clausta just throwing that thing up and like me

683
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 11: and Mike Floyd just running deep, catching balls over whoever.

684
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 11: It didn't matter, just throw it to us. We're gonna

685
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 11: find a way. And so it was fun and easy.

686
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 11: But I remember Draft night. I mean, I got, you know, I'm.

687
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 6: Rocking to shape. I've had this point.

688
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 11: I got a nice outfit, a nice suit on, and

689
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 11: we rent out this whole like hotel downtown.

690
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 6: I can't Eve remember the name of it.

691
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 11: I got all my homies, my belitting the call forward,

692
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 11: and I sit there for you know, I kind of

693
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 11: knew I wasn't going top fifteen or top twenty or

694
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 11: really even top twenty five. I'm like, all right, the

695
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 11: end of it is going to be where I go. Well,

696
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 11: I don't get drafted in the first round, so look, ay, cool, begainning.

697
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 11: You know, I'm maybe six seven, eight picks into the

698
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 11: second round, I'm gone. And the reason why I thought

699
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 11: that was because coach Charlie Whiss has just been fired

700
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 11: from Notre Dame and went over to Kansas City and

701
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 11: they had two picks in the first ten picks of

702
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 11: the second round, and my meetings they said like, hey,

703
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 11: if you're there, we really want you. And Coach Whis said, hey,

704
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 11: I'm pulling for you obviously, I've seen you. You fit

705
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 11: in great in this office. So I'm just up there like, yep,

706
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 11: all right, day two it's one. I won't be here

707
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 11: for very long. And they get to the first pick

708
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 11: of the second round in Kansas City. I think they

709
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 11: take like Dexter mccluster out of Ole Miss like the.

710
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: Back I'll watch it.

711
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 11: My hybrid yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm like, no, the

712
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 11: they did not. But then in my mind like, all right,

713
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 11: well they got another pick in like four picks or

714
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 11: six picks or something like that, so surely they're gonna

715
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 11: pick me then, right, I don't even know who they picked,

716
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 11: but they did not pick me, and I'm just like,

717
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 11: you've lied to me, you betrayed me. And so I

718
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 11: sit there like you go from like, so crap. Now

719
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 11: you're starting to look on your phone, and now every

720
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 11: time your phone rings You're like, oh gosh.

721
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 5: Just my buddy, telemarketer, telemarket why are you calling me?

722
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: Dude?

723
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 11: Like and eventually, like I think it was it was

724
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 11: like a two six number is either two of six

725
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 11: or four two five?

726
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 6: And I'm like, he was this, where is this? Hey?

727
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: This is uh?

728
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 6: Pete Carroll's like what you want?

729
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 12: Man?

730
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 6: You had that ce.

731
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 4: You know.

732
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 11: I'm the head coach at Seattle Seahawks, and I remember

733
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,680
Speaker 11: what you did to us a few months ago. Every

734
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 11: year you were impossible guard, and so I would love

735
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 11: for you to join our team. And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah,

736
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 11: I'd love to. And so they ended up drafting and

737
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 11: my next question is where the hell is Washington.

738
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 6: Is that like DC? And so I'm like, where is

739
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 6: Washington because it.

740
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: Was never like I thought you would go there. No,

741
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: Like they never had reached out, no.

742
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 11: Meetings, yeah, no workouts at the combat nothing and they

743
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 11: draft me. And that was the best possible situation for

744
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 11: me period. If I can do it all over again,

745
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 11: I would not do it a single different way. Like

746
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 11: having coach Carol as a coach, how patient he was

747
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 11: with me, what our team did for the city, including

748
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 11: bringing the first ever super Bowl, that.

749
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 6: Me meeting my wife in that city.

750
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 11: It couldn't have been more perfect, and it was complete

751
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 11: God playing chess with me, and I'm so thankful for it.

752
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 5: Were you a fan of the NFL, because it's weird

753
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 5: that you wouldn't know where Seattle was ortography, Dude.

754
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,959
Speaker 1: I get Washington, DC and Washington State makes up too.

755
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:04,520

762
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,480

Speaker 1: just watch Seahawk games.

770
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: I had a poster with all the teams on it.

00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 4: You know.

776
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 11: To me, what I remember, it was a constant like

777
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 11: drizzle like nothing that like, it was never raining so

778
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,800

779
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 11: drizzle and always gray. And I remember there was a

780
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 11: time where I would go into work it would be dark.

781
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 11: I would get out of work it'd be dark, and

782
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 11: that is kind of depressing. But the off season I

783
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 11: would just I learned my girlfriend at the time, my wife,

784
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 11: kind of taught me how to snowboard.

785
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: So he stayed up there. Yeah, you made that home home.

786
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. I mean I didn't have money like that

787
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 6: to be having more places, but we.

788
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 2: All think you do.

789
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: You mean the NFL, we think everybody has one hundred

790
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: million dollars.

791
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 5: So I've always thought, like, when you get drafted, it's like, oh,

792
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 5: this is it payday?

793
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 6: Is that not the case?

794
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 11: You play the game to get that second pay day,

795
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 11: That second pay day, if you do it right, that's

796
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 11: the one that sets you up, hopefully for life and

797
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 11: even digs into generations.

798
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 6: If you do it correctly.

799
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 11: And so you know, yes, when I was drafted, it

800
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 11: was a whole bunch of money. I'm like, oh, okay,

801
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 11: I can kind of get whatever I want and not

802
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 11: really have to think about it. But I was also

803
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 11: one of those guys like, man, I got a plan

804
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 11: for only the guarantee and if something happens, God forbids,

805
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 11: I need to plan to have something to fall back

806
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 11: on where I don't have to work right away, And

807
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 11: so trying to find out what investment makes sense, who

808
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 11: to trust, who not to trust, Like this is a

809
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 11: lot for a kid who grew up in the hood

810
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 11: that all of a sudden has all this money. When

811
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 11: I got into the league, I didn't even know how

812
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 11: to write a check, let alone taxes. I thought, okay,

813
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 11: I just I'm getting three million dollars. I'm getting three

814
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 11: million dollars and then after that you're going to take

815
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 11: the few percents for the agent and then your financial advisor.

816
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 11: I'm gonna auto pay my rent, and like it's not

817
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 11: really a lot of money where it's like, okay, it's

818
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 11: five hundred bucks here, one thousand dollars here. But when

819
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 11: you look at it over a year spent you like.

820
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 6: Gonna spend how much.

821
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Were you taking care of yourself?

822
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: Like Lebron like definitely different, and technology is different, and

823
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: like what we even know about our bodies is different

824
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: in the past ten years, you know, it has progressed

825
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: so much. But you know, even Derrick Henry, like they

826
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money to keep their bodies right.

827
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: What was your routine like were you, like, what what

828
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: did you do to stay healthy? Like we spend the

829
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: money on Massusa's they have those of the facility.

830
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 2: Were you doing like chef like food or did you

831
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: do start doing that later once you realized how I Portland.

832
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 6: Was, I started doing it later.

833
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 11: I was getting massages early on because the older guys

834
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 11: are getting massages, and I tried not to be super

835
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 11: hard hitted, and I did some of the things, but

836
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 11: obviously late in the season you just kind of like,

837
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 11: I'd rather just sleep and resp But I always took

838
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 11: care of my body. But as you get older, you

839
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 11: feel your body changed, and you feel that you can't

840
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 11: do things as easily as you did when you were

841
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 11: twenty one twenty two.

842
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 6: You start feeling like, Okay, when.

843
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 11: I was my first few years in the league, I

844
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 11: could play a game on Sunday, and no matter how

845
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 11: many times I got hit, attack, I woke up next morning.

846
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 11: I feel like I can play another game. Now I

847
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 11: get to your five six seven. Now it's taking me

848
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 11: until Wednesday morning to pretty much get right, and I

849
00:36:52,520 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 11: gotta get massages, acupuncture, nad drips, hydration drips, ozone therapy

850
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 11: just to be able to practice on Wednesday and Thursday

851
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 11: and have myself back before, you know, hopefully by Saturday.

852
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 11: So I'm going in a Sunday confident, feeling like I

853
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 11: mentally have clarity.

854
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 6: Physically, I feel good, and you're just kind of hoping.

855
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 11: So you start adding and taking things away each each

856
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 11: year you realize, all right, well, I don't need this

857
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 11: as much, so I'm going to take that out substitute this,

858
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 11: And so you just had to mix and match.

859
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 6: And you know it used to kill me. Man. Guys,

860
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 6: guys in the locker room would.

861
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 11: Spend money playing talk and playing bu Ray, which is

862
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 11: the games, and going to the casino. But then I

863
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 11: would have like a an art guy or Masseu's come

864
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 11: in that was you know, highly known, and they you know,

865
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 11: weeks before the Yeah, I'll be them there, and then

866
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 11: it come to day of Oh bro, it's too expensive.

867
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 11: But I just saw you play that entire hand right

868
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 11: there on the game of Tonk that you played stupid

869
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 11: at that what do you what do you mean? And

870
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 11: so then I was like that was fun, yeah, right,

871
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 11: like for that two seconds. And then guess who gets

872
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 11: stuck with the bill. It was supposed to be split,

873
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 11: you know, fifteen twenty ways, but then you have three, four,

874
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 11: five guys and it goes from like five hundred dollars

875
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 11: ahead till now it's a thousand. But yeah, I thought

876
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 11: you said it was five hundred. Well I also thought X,

877
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 11: Y and Z gonna be there, but they bounced last minute.

878
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,919
Speaker 11: So I used to piss me off. But you gotta

879
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 11: kind of pick and choose, like when you're gonna complain

880
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 11: to your teammates.

881
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 6: I'd be like, it's all good, bro, I'm no og.

882
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 11: You know I signed this deal, so the optics of it,

883
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 11: I should just pick it up all them like man punks.

884
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: When you go up your first year and you go

885
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: from your playbook at Notre Dame to your playbook with Seattle,

886
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: and I'm just thinking playbook, Like they literally give you

887
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 1: a book.

888
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: Is that what happened to bind her?

889
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 4: Is it?

890
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: How much more in depth is it than what you

891
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: came from to what you went to?

892
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 11: It's so much in depth, much more depth. And when

893
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 11: I got into Notre Dame because I was I was

894
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 11: recruited as a running back out of high school. At

895
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 11: high school, and then when I got to Notre Dame,

896
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,720
Speaker 11: coach twice noticed that I was only watching the receivers

897
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 11: and I don't know why, but I just my ragislim receivers.

898
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 11: And so he says, hey, I saw you watching the

899
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 11: war receivers, so I'm willing to recruit you as a

900
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 11: wide receiver. That's fine, I said, Okay, great, awesome. Didn't

901
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 11: even cross my mind.

902
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: You would open to the change.

903
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I kind of saw myself as a receiver anyway.

904
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 11: My dad was a receiver, and you know, I'm a

905
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 11: five to ten, one ninety guy. Too many of us

906
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 11: running the running the ball, but.

907
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 6: The playbook man. Going from running back to receiver, it

908
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:36,959
Speaker 6: is so tough.

909
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 11: I think being a receiver is one of the toughest

910
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 11: transitions in football, especially when you get trade it, because

911
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 11: not only do you have to know your route and

912
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 11: the combination, but you have to know both sides of

913
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 11: the ball, like the left side and the right side.

914
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 6: We're in two minute offense.

915
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 11: You got to understand like if they run this coverage,

916
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,320
Speaker 11: this route turns into this, or if they run this coverage,

917
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 11: you have to get the outside release because if you don't,

918
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 11: you're gonna blow up the guy that you're you know,

919
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 11: running the route force. You got to understand a whole

920
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 11: bunch and on top of that, you got to build

921
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 11: a camarade of the of the quarterback.

922
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 6: And on top of that, you.

923
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 11: Gottaly on the off its linemen to hold up well

924
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 11: enough so the ball can get to you. So like

925
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 11: I struggled my freshman year, and then I struggled again

926
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 11: my rookie and sophomore season. But then once it clicked

927
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 11: and I figured it out, Oh football became fun.

928
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 1: Man See, I think my frustration would be running around

929
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 1: and not getting the ball thrown to me, because like

930
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a type A have to be in

931
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: this industry. I'm a type A. I need the attention,

932
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: I need the mic, I need whatever it is. And

933
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: I feel like if I'm the guy and I'm going

934
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: out and over and over again, I'm running these routes

935
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: as hard as it possibly can and the ball is

936
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: not coming to me, I feel like I would be

937
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: personally offended. It would bother me because and then I

938
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 1: would just stop thinking it was ever coming to me.

939
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: They'd to reach a point where like I'm never getting

940
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: the freaking ball.

941
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 2: Can you say something like who you tell?

942
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 11: When you're young, you just kind of got you got

943
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 11: to shut up and just let the film speak because

944
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 11: the Iron of Scots literally everything everything, So you kind

945
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 11: of had to just play and like do your job

946
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 11: like it was for a greater good. But coming out

947
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 11: of high school where I was the guy every like

948
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 11: you needed something.

949
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 6: I'm punting the ball. I can throw the ball, I

950
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 6: can catch the ball.

951
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 11: I'm running the ball. I'm the point turning on the

952
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 11: caick re turner. I'm used to like the offense being

953
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 11: around me, and then you get to Notre Dame. It's

954
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 11: not that way, but eventually becomes kind of that way

955
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 11: because I was the best, one of the best players

956
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 11: on the team, and then you get to the league

957
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 11: and it's nothing like that.

958
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 6: You have to do a job.

959
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 11: You have to like run this route in order for

960
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 11: the concept to work correctly, because you're gonna get coverages

961
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 11: where like I'm running a cover one route, but we

962
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 11: get covered two, which makes my route dead. But I

963
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 11: need to do a job to open it up for

964
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 11: the spot route inside or whatever the route is for them.

965
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 6: And so understand the big picture sure is key.

966
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 11: And that's why I think being a receiver you really

967
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 11: do have to be smart, and you have to be

968
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 11: smart quick, Like you have to make these decisions to

969
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 11: go inside or outside before you really even get to

970
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 11: think about it.

971
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 6: And so like that's what makes it hard. And like

972
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 6: I took a lot of pride.

973
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 11: And knowing knowing what I was supposed to do, figuring

974
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 11: out where the hole was and also making making plays.

975
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would be really frustrated.

976
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: I'd go back to huddle, have to cut. Well, you

977
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: have a helmet on, you know what you done with

978
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 1: the ball. But you can but if you have if

979
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 1: you're playing baseball, you can see your mouth basketball, you

980
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: know you can see that.

981
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: Put a helmet on, Like I will go back to huddle,

982
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 2: like the ball, I'm open. You ever go back, like

983
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: throw me the ball?

984
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,359
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I actually got putting time out if you will,

985
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 11: one of my my last season with New York. But

986
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 11: as a receiver, we always think we're open. Like I

987
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 11: would see myself on camera, I'm open, I'm open. There's

988
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 11: a there's a there's a DV right here on me,

989
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 11: waiting on the throat.

990
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm open.

991
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 6: And then you watch the film. But we're in We're

992
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 6: in COVID year.

993
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 11: We got Joseph Judge, a Patriots descendant, and uh, I

994
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 11: wasn't getting the ball as.

995
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 6: Much as I probably should have. Actually I know I

996
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 6: wouldn't getting the ball, and.

997
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 11: We sucked, and I you know, I can deal with sucking,

998
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 11: but statistically succeeding or not statistically succeeding and winning, but

999
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 11: I can't do I can't suck and be losing. I

1000
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 11: have an attitude, and so we're down by I don't

1001
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 11: know fourteen the Tampa Bay at home COVID year, no fans,

1002
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 11: that sucks to and they finally throw me the ball

1003
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 11: in the back of the end zone and I go

1004
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,000
Speaker 11: up and make a hell of a catch, get my

1005
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 11: feet down, and I'm like pissed at this point, like

1006
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 11: I've been waiting all game, like throw me the dang ball.

1007
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:53,760
Speaker 2: Who's the quarterback?

1008
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 11: It was Daniel Jones, Dang Jones, And I remember looking

1009
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 11: to looking into the camera and was like, throw me

1010
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 11: the damn ball. And then I said it again like

1011
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 11: later after a catch. And between those two things and

1012
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 11: me getting into the locker room pissed, like hey, d

1040
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:34,879

1041
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 11: we actually change my mind. We want you to come

1042
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 11: in to practice and we're gonna put your own scout team.

1043
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 11: As a year eleven veteran, I'm gonna put your own

1044
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 11: scout team. And then we'll make a decision at the

1045
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 11: end of the week. And I'm like, okay, you know

1046

Speaker 11: what I'm gonna I'm a practice ability right now. Okay,

1047
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 11: I'm a practicingmility. I'm not gonna snap, and I'm gonna

1048
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 11: be the good eleven year vet that I should be.

1049
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 11: And so I go out there and run scout team

1050
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 11: and absolutely torch.

1051
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:03,399
Speaker 2: You did go run Scott team.

1052
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 11: Yes, I torched our defense as they're preparing for Washington.

1053
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 11: I'm to my I was going deep, jumping over people,

1054
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 11: spinning the ball, looking at Joe Judge like, yes, this

1055
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 11: is what I'm capable of do.

1056
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 6: But y'all don't throw.

1057
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 2: Me the ball.

1058
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: Why do you think you didn't want to get you

1059
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: the ball? Do you not understand what you like? In

1060
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:25,320
Speaker 1: what ways you excelled? Why was Joe Judge not allowing

1061
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: you to thrive?

1062
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 11: I don't know, and I don't know if it was

1063
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 11: Joe Judge or if it was Jason Garrett, who was

1064
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 11: the offensive coordinator. Yes, I don't know. I don't know,

1065
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 11: and I wish I knew the answer because we weren't

1066
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 11: very good. What did you have to lose besides give

1067
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 11: the guy who's been performing his entire career, some burne. Instead,

1068
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 11: we're throwing the guys. We're making game plans for guys

1069
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 11: who dropped the ball weekly. I'm like, what's going on?

1070
00:46:55,560 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 11: You guess something against me? I mean, anyway, so I

1071
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 11: dominate them in practice. Get to Friday where he's like,

1072
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 11: we have a decision by Friday. I obviously know the

1073
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 11: offense because I've been running it every week and I'm

1074
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 11: a professional. And he still says, Hey, you know what,

1075
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 11: We're gonna roll with the guys who've been practicing all

1076
00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 11: week and we're going to you know, you just stay

1077

1080
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 11: or I guess they go out there and win the game,

1081
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 11: which is shit. It's the Washington Do you watch it

1084
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 11: I watch it and I'm on airs like I'm like

1085
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 11: biting my fingernails. I'm like cursing myself out, cursing anyone

1086
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 11: in the organization out.

1087
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 6: I'm like mentally and I'm just I'm pissed. I get

1088
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 6: back in.

1089
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 11: And being the professional that I am I go and

1090
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 11: back to back to business as usual. I have a

1091
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 11: fun you know, I have a better season. We still suck,

1092
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 11: and at this point I have two more years of

1093
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 11: my contract. And we get to the end of year

1094
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 11: meetings and we're sitting in the environment like this, and

1095
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 11: Joseph Judge is like, I really appreciate how you responded

1096
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 11: and how you handled after that situation earlier this year,

1097
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 11: and if it's up to me, like, we're gonna have

1098
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 11: you here, We're gonna build, build on and we're gonna

1099
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 11: find ways to get you the ball and so on

1100
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 11: and so forth. And I'm like, oh, great, good okay,

1101
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 11: I'm glad I didn't I wasn't an asshole.

1102
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 6: I mean, it's good man.

1103
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:34,360
Speaker 11: Three weeks later, Hey, gold, this is Dave Bieedelman. You know,

1104
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 11: we just want to let you know that we're gonna

1105
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 11: release you, and good luck and thank you for everything

1106
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 11: you do. And Joe gets on the phone like he

1107
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 11: didn't just tell me all this bs, and he's like, hey,

1108
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 11: you know, thank you, I really appreciate how you hanging

1109
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,680
Speaker 11: yourself as a pro, and good luck with everything. And

1110
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 11: I'm like, what in the flying I'm pissed. I'm pissed anyway.

1111
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 11: So that's kind of how it all ended for me.

1112
00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 11: How is your body at that point?

1113
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: And how's your body now? Like you hurt now?

1114
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1115
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, if it's called joints, everything hurts, okay. So

1116
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 11: here's so I go through my disability stuff and it's

1117
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 11: a point system. You get eleven points based off different

1118
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 11: injuries that you have, and I've got eleven points and

1119
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 11: flying colors. I was probably more twenty seven points. And

1120
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 11: so I go into the doctor because I've always had

1121
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 11: neck issues. I'm like, you know, I'm having all these

1122
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 11: issues with my neck and then like they tell me

1123
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 11: see four C five or like that.

1124
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 6: And the doctor says, mister Tate, so how old are you?

1125
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 11: And I say, I'm I think I'm about thirty four

1126
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 11: at this point, thirty three at this point He's like, well,

1127
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 11: you have a seventy four year old neck?

1128
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 4: What?

1129
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 6: But I mean, I can't be good.

1130
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 11: It's like you don't need surgery yet, but like everything's

1131
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 11: just worn down, which is expected from playing football contact sport.

1132
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 11: But I'm like a seventy four year old neck and

1133
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 11: I'm only thirty mid thirties. And that was kind of

1134
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 11: that moment. Like, whoa, this is what I signed up for,

1135
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:06,439
Speaker 11: and now I got arthritis and my left big toe.

1136
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 11: I got in your toe, Yeah, my left big toe.

1137
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 2: Man, it's like you can't move it at all.

1138
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 6: Like I can't move it at her. It hurts.

1139
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 11: I feel like I need to pop it all the time.

1140
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 11: I got bone spurs at the top of it. I

1141
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 11: obviously have neck and shoulder issues. Like I took a

1142
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 11: lot of pride of staying out of the training room

1143
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 11: and being available and healthy. One time I played, I

1144
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:33,880
Speaker 11: played through a Grade three AC joint spring, which is

1145
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 11: pretty much a separation to the point where like it

1146
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:37,920
Speaker 11: sticks up right now.

1147
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 6: I didn't miss a single it was it was a

1148
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 6: four to six week injury. I didn't miss a game.

1149
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: With intent on just showing up and being the professional.

1150
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,440
Speaker 1: Or if you miss a game, somebody may take the spot.

1151
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 6: It was probably. It was probably everything, Like I didn't

1152
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 6: want anyone taking my reps.

1153
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 11: I loved the game so much. It was my contract year.

1154
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 11: I felt like we could make the playoffs. I was

1155
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 11: Stafford's like number one receiver. It was middle of the

1156
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 11: season and I was like, I'm not giving them any

1157
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 11: reason not to want to pay me.

1158
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: Do you hide that injury or do you do they

1159
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: just know you're playing hurt.

1160
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 6: Although X rays said it's.

1161
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 11: It's jacked, like you don't need We're going to see

1162
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,760
Speaker 11: Howard heels, but you don't need surgery.

1163
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 6: And so I reb happened going into our bay.

1164
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 11: So I had a week of like until I just

1165
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 11: trying to grind it out, get it strong, do whatever

1166
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 11: I need to do, rehab twice a day. I'm just

1167
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 11: doing it all and I'm able to like lift my

1168
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 11: shoulder up and catch balls with a lot of pain.

1169
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 11: But they shot it up, they numbed it. They numbed

1170
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 11: it for every game, and so for the rest of season,

1171
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,560
Speaker 11: I just numbed it up and dealt with it. And

1172
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 11: still I think I either had a thousand yards or

1173
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 11: I was like a twenty yards shy of a thousand yards.

1174
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 6: But I played and a year later or something like that,

1175
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 6: two years later, I end up getting traded.

1176
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: How do you deal now? Because you play picktball?

1177
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw the court out there.

1178
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I played a little bit, but like that's

1179
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: that's a lot of stopping go especially playing singles, like

1180
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 1: can you still move?

1181
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1182
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: I mean I assume you can't. But does it hurt?

1183
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: It's to man, I'm saying all those injuries feel like

1184
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,240
Speaker 1: that would keep me from being prime pickaball.

1185
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, it does hurt, and I feel limited

1186
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 6: at times.

1187
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 11: But as a football player, you've been taught that no pain,

1188
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 11: no game right like I've been If I don't if

1189
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 11: I'm not hurting somewhere, I'm not doing anything.

1190
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 6: I'm not doing something right.

1191
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 11: And I've told myself over years and years and years that,

1192
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 11: and now I'm starting to realize, like, wait a minute,

1193
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 11: I'm not even playing football or anything that's significantly as

1194
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 11: hard as football.

1195
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 6: Why am I still aching in pains?

1196
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 11: And it's like the less I work out, the more

1197
00:52:58,320 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 11: these pains start stacking up.

1198
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 6: I'm like, man, I where is my other knee hurting?

1199
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 2: Like what?

1200
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 11: But it's not gonna stop me. I refuse to just

1201
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 11: sit on my tail and not do anything because I

1202
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:13,479
Speaker 11: am an athlete and I have my on my worst

1203
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:15,879
Speaker 11: days is when I don't get to go play golf

1204
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 11: or play pick a ball or do something competitive like.

1205
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 6: I am a born competitor and.

1206
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 11: I believe God gifted me with a lot of athleticism

1207
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 11: and I will use every single drop of the athleticism,

1208
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 11: even if that means I'm in pain during it.

1209
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: I wish I could buy some of it, Like I

1210
00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 1: only got rich recently, and I wish I could buy

1211
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: some of it because I like like, I wish I

1212
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: was an athlete, like I try, I would try my

1213
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 1: whole life. But I like I because you're a little

1214
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: too injured to use all of it right.

1215
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 2: Effectively, Like he's got all these injuries. I have a

1216
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: little bit of that. I like, Scoop some final three questions, Eddie,

1217
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 2: what do you miss the most about the game?

1218
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 11: Definitely the locker room, like the brotherhood of it being

1219
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 11: in one place with the same goal of winning and

1220
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 11: putting in the same amount of work, and the reward

1221
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 11: of winning and the dinners that the blood, sweat and

1222
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 11: tears all that. It's like, you got a bunch of

1223
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 11: guys with so much in common. How we got here,

1224
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 11: it's pretty similar. We all went to some school, we

1225
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 11: all got drafted or undrafted, we're all we all got

1226
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 11: there some way, and it's you have so many similarities

1227
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 11: and backgrounds and then you don't have anymore. Man, I

1228
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 11: just I long for like that sense of community, especially

1229
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 11: after like COVID, like having to be stuck in the

1230
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:36,720
Speaker 11: house go to work. I couldn't tap up my homie.

1231
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 11: I had to be just like hey man with the

1232
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 11: mask and I can't readlip. You know, it's it's a disaster.

1233
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 11: It made me really appreciate relationships a lot more, and

1234
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 11: like that's probably what I missed the absolute most. And like,

1235
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 11: I'm constantly looking for a way to have that camaraderie

1236
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 11: and so I found that with golf and pickleball at times.

1237
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 6: And yeah, we can be your dudes.

1238
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 1: Yeah well, yeah, well we'll come road. Two questions left.

1239
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,760
Speaker 1: Who was your favorite quarterback to play with Matthew Stafford

1240
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 1: to be happy when he won?

1241
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 11: Heck yeah, so I wasn't playing at this point, so

1242
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 11: I was able to like gamble as soon as he

1243
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 11: got traded. Oh yeah, that's a whole another area. Yeah, yeah, yea,

1244
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 11: yeahs come on yeah the jener night. Yes, it was

1245
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 11: Matthew Stafford. The moment he got traded one, I gave

1246
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 11: him a call, Hey, buddy, I'm a free agent, bring

1247
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,880
Speaker 11: me on over. It didn't work out, obviously, but the

1248
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,719
Speaker 11: moment he walked into LA I went and put a

1249
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 11: bet the Rams were winning super Bowl like week one

1250
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 11: or week two for like I don't know, one hundred

1251
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,960
Speaker 11: bucks and it paid out like fifty hundred bucks.

1252
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I felt like a genius.

1253
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: You bet at the beginning of the year. It wasn't

1254
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,840
Speaker 1: like you bet at the super Bowl. You bet it

1255
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 1: because you felt like Staffing.

1256
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 6: I knew Stafford.

1257
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 11: I knew that if he was just in a better situation,

1258
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 11: that that man thrive, Like look at what he'd done

1259
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,280
Speaker 11: in Detroit with not much around him and me had Megatron,

1260
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 11: but besides that, like he was a one man band,

1261
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 11: and so like I just knew like how talent he was,

1262
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 11: and people used to think I was. They would ask

1263
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 11: me the same question and I said, Matthew Stafford, and

1264
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 11: they look at me like what not not not Russell Wilson,

1265
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 11: not even close? Who you want a super Bowl with? Yes,

1266
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:26,840
Speaker 11: not even close. Like Russell is and was good and

1267
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 11: could throw a great deep ball. But the things that

1268
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:34,440
Speaker 11: Stafford was doing was next level. And so I went

1269
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 11: from like this, Golden Tate has no clue about football.

1270
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 11: He's an idiot, So like, oh shit, Golden Tate might

1271
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,279
Speaker 11: know what he's talking about. Because Stafford goes there after

1272
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 11: one year, one year wins the super Bowl. That's only

1273
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 11: happened like once more with Tom Brady. Ever where you go,

1274
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:57,200
Speaker 11: you leave the team you've been went for decades, go

1275
00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 11: to a new team and win the super Bowl. That

1276
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 11: first year didn't happen, and so suddenly people like, Okay, yeah,

1277
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 11: Staff's really good.

1278
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: Final question week one to week two, because that's where

1279
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: we are now, is we're having this conversation. Are there

1280
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: times where you don't quite know what your team is

1281
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: until week one? Or when do you kind of learn

1282
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: your identity as a team, like if you're actually gonna

1283
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: be good or.

1284
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 6: As a fan or now as a player?

1285
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,480
Speaker 1: A good question because like the Panthers, they had one

1286
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: hundred squored on them, like do they are they all like, well,

1287
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: we really do suck? Or does it take a few weeks?

1288
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,320
Speaker 1: Because there were some teams that had bad week ones

1289
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: that can actually figure.

1290
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 10: It out.

1291
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 11: These teams that get blown out. I think the gap

1292
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 11: is a lot closer than fans can see. And like

1293
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 11: you believe no matter who you have, that you can

1294
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 11: beat any team on any given day.

1295
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 6: Now the question is can you consistently do that? And

1296
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 6: that's the mentality.

1297
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,280
Speaker 11: A bunch of intangibles kind of coming together in tangibles

1298
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 11: and a team like.

1299
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 6: A team like Carolina, they're just fighting an uphill battle.

1300
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 11: They got, you know, new head coach which coached me,

1301
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 11: and I believe in him Canalis.

1302
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 6: But to me, the quarterback situation is a little bit.

1303
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:12,480
Speaker 4: You know, but.

1304
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 11: They're going to beat some people this year that you

1305
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 11: probably thought they never in a million years should beat.

1306
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 11: But that's just the NFL, right, And so I wouldn't

1307
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 11: bet on them to go to super Bowl or anything.

1308
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: How many weeks until a team knows its identity or

1309
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: how good they're supposed to be. Kent City obviously knows

1310
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: they've want to in a row, But like with Detroit

1311
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,480
Speaker 1: going into every year where you're like, we kind of

1312
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 1: know how good we are. We're a ten and sixteen,

1313
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: we're a twelve and four team, or every year is

1314
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: there just is it kind of soft and you kind

1315
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: of figured out.

1316
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 3: As you go.

1317
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 11: You kind of figured out as you go in Like

1318
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 11: but every game you look at it like, man, we

1319
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 11: should have won thatf we can have Usually it's probably

1320
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 11: within five to eight plays back you feel like you

1321
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 11: probably would have won that game. And so when I

1322
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,600
Speaker 11: got to when I got to Detroit, it's almost like

1323
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 11: we had a losing mentality. We were hoping we were

1324
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 11: gonna win instead of expecting to win. When I was

1325
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 11: in Seattle we played at CenturyLink, we were winning.

1326
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:12,360
Speaker 6: We knew we were gonna win.

1327
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 11: As a matter of if it was thirty six nothing

1328
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 11: at halftime, we was gonna win. We did not lose

1329
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 11: at home. And when I got to Detroit, it was

1330
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 11: just like, all right, I hope we win this week

1331
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 11: and said, nah, man, go get it, like let's go

1332
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 11: get in. So we started to change in mentality. And

1333
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 11: then now now Detroit expects to win. They know that

1334
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 11: they're going to win, and if they don't win, it's

1335
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 11: something that they did, nothing that the opponent did.

1336
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 2: And now we also expected to win.

1337
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: The last level of confidence, like they thought they think

1338
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: they might win, then they think they should win. Now

1339
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: we think they should win because they've showed us over

1340
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: and over again that they should win.

1341
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, we were really appreciate coming. Bye.

1342
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 1: Man, that's awesome my pleasure. Yeah, I feel like my

1343
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: big toe would really significantly bother me more than ever

1344
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: thought about it. I was the whole ti the whole

1345
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 1: time he's talking, I'm thinking how much he's my big toe.

1346
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: I think more than I actually realized. I used my

1347
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 1: big toe a lot. That's all I've taken from this

1348
01:00:07,680 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: that my big toe is actually quite important because the

1349
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: whole time I've been pushing my big toe like thinking

1350
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: of stuff I do, and I'm like, man, that sucks.

1351
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just pay attention.

1352
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 11: When you walk around, like when you take every step,

1353
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 11: it's gonna end. It's gonna start with like right here

1354
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 11: on your big toe.

1355
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: A turf toe is so bad. Yes, what is turf toe?

1356
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 6: It's like a it's hell, I don't even know what

1357
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 6: technically happens.

1358
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 11: It's like the ligament gets super super super super stretched

1359
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 11: and it's I guess it's like that spraining on the toe.

1360
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 11: But literally life starts on that toe right when you

1361
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 11: hit the bed, it hits the ground in the morning,

1362
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 11: big toe. When I take my step with my left

1363
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 11: and my right big toe is pushing off when I run.

1364
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 6: Obviously big toe.

1365
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 11: And so I got arthritis in my left one but

1366
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 11: my right when I had a broken sessimoire that I

1367
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 11: played on for two years. They went into it eventually

1368
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 11: and saw that the thing was split and the bone

1369
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 11: was bad. And so they took it out like after

1370
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 11: I played on it for two years and I'm like, gosh,

1371
01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 11: I'm thinking, this is what our fartis feels like.

1372
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Nope, I feel like a big toe injury for an

1373
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: athlete because it's so significant as like a ulcer in

1374
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: my mouth.

1375
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: Oh, it sits there every time I talk.

1376
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it rubs against your basically the same NFL player

1377
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:25,880
Speaker 1: for the foot injury as me with like a little

1378
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: cut in my lip.

1379
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 2: Exactly the same thing. Yeah, all we appreciate you coming

1380
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: by man.

1381
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 6: Thanks a lot. Pleasure, Pleasure Braves.

1382
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: First baseman Matt Olson shows up to Fork every day.

1383
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: He's in line to play a four hundred and seventy

1384
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 1: seven consecutive game as a first baseman. Thattle time with

1385
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: Pete Rose for the longest streak of games played at

1386
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: first base in the last eighty years, and if he

1387
01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: passes Rose, he'll have the second longest streak since lou Garig,

1388
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: behind only Frank McCormick of the Reds, who had six

1389
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty two games in a row of first base.

1390
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,840

01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: attendance in school for a bunch of years.

1393
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.

1394
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 5: It's good, like because even if you're sick, you come

1395
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 5: and you know, you fight through everything.

1396

Speaker 3: No, no.

1403
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes I'd fake sick and not go in. Yeah, but

01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 5: as a parent, I want my you.

1405

1407
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 5: My dad would always say, like just calling sick, it's fine,

1408
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 5: call on sick, Like that's just the kind of guy

1409
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 5: he was.

1410
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 1: So how many days of school year do you think

1411
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: you'd miss?

1412
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 5: I would probably miss two times a month. Oh a month, Yeah,

1413
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 5: a Friday because we're going to go on a trip

1414
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 5: or something nice.

1415
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1416
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 1: So a year, so let's say eight nine months, So

1417
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,360
Speaker 1: you miss about eighteen days a year.

1418
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 2: It's about right.

1419
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a lot significant.

1420
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 6: I know.

1421
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: I'd probably average about a day and a half a

1422
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: year through twelve years. Because I'm I had perfect tendance

1423
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: for a few years, thirty four years. I would sometimes

1424
01:02:55,720 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: I get so sick i'd have to miss a day

1425
01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: or two. But I rarely miss I rarely miss work.

1426
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 2: I'm dead. Did you like school?

1427
01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:02,920
Speaker 1: Not particularly?

1428
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 2: No, I didn't like school.

1429
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: Someone like school either, but I saw it as a means,

1430
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 1: not so much to an end, but to a better beginning,

1431
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: and I thought, if I can. I also didn't like

1432
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: being at home, though a home sucked, I get that,

1433
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: But no, I didn't like school, and I got beat

1434
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: up a lot until I got older, and only didn't

1435
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: get beat up because I knew where not to go

1436
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:24,760

1437
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:25,840

01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 8: did not miss eighteen days a year. There was one

1454
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 8: day every year I missed. It was a Monday after

1455
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:12,720

1456

01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:14,439
Speaker 2: That's good parents.

1458
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's fine.

1459
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 7: Could we celebrating throw parties?

1461
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: Casey.

1462
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:19,920
Speaker 10: My mom was pretty strict, so I had to go

1463
01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 10: in even if if I didn't feel so great.

1464
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 1: Do you ever get perfect sentence?

1465
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: No, I mean, I mean, like a ninety five percent

1466
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: they are there.

1467
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 6: But yeah, that's good.

1468
01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 10: I had to push through usually and then get any

1469
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 10: excuses sucked.

1470
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: We're about to talk with head coach of UNLV football,

1471
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: Barry Otam, who I've known coach otom now for.

1472
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 2: Seven or eight years. Loved him.

1473
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: I got to know him when he was the defensive

1474
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,720
Speaker 1: coordinated Arkansas before he went over and took the UNLV job.

1475
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 6: So like, this is my guy.

1476
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: I'm biased, but I'm also super excited that they are

1477
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 1: three and oh a little background on coach otom played

1478
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: at Missouri, was head coach at Missouri for a while.

1479
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: That didn't go as great as I think that he

1480
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: probably would have hoped for if you asked me for

1481
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: reasons that did not have to do with him. But

1482
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: then went worked his way back. Decordinator Arkansas decordinator, UNLV

1483
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: head coach, and he's just he's killing it. They beat

1484
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: Houston week one, you taw Tech week two.

1485
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 6: That was a bad one.

1486
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 1: That was like seventy two to fourteen. Just beat Kansas,

1487
01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: just weird because we know we like Kansas, because you know,

1488
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: Kansas was a we had, we'd like the coach, you know,

1489
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: coach coach coach Lighthold rights. Like I said, I was

1490
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: saying his name wrong. I was saying his name wrong forever.

1491
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: So but but I'm I'm definitely an odum guy. Uh

1492
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: So it's the first three and I was starting forty years.

1493
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: They're nationally ranked for the first time ever, and the

1494
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: coach is well ever, it's it's wild. Uh They are

1495
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: ranked as a fifth group of five team right now

1496
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 1: that could make the college football Playoff because there will

1497
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 1: be one that makes it. But right now, if you

1498
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: know doing the odds, I don't know, there's just killing.

1499
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: So we got coach Otamon here he is, Coach Barry

1500
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 1: otom all right, Coach Otam'm with us, our hero.

1501
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 4: Yes, come on, what's up, buddy.

1502
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 2: I have I've never.

1503
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: Rooted for a single team out west in my entire life,

1504
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: and now I find myself for two and a half

1505
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 1: years now at least just watching you NLV or if

1506
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 1: I can't find you, like just watching that little cartoon

1507
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: that's like three yard game, six yard game, like first time.

1508
01:06:27,400 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 4: It all started. It all started when when you guys

1509
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 4: came in and saw us and visited, Hey, we'll take that.

1510
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: Talking about to take that.

1511
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 4: Fend uh started started upward from there. Great to see you, guys, coach,

1512
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 4: Good to see you too.

1513
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: So I want to know specifically about this Kansas game

1514
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: going into it. Did you feel like you matched up

1515
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: well or did you feel like the game went in

1516
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: the way that you thought it was going to because again,

1517
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 1: it was close, but I felt like you guys had

1518
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: it most of the way.

1519
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's crazy, Bobby, rarely do you play

1520
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 4: somebody in a different conference like we did. You know,

1521
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 4: we played Kansas in the bowl game and came up short.

1522
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 4: So we felt like we knew their personnel really well

1523
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,439
Speaker 4: because most of the guys they had in the bowl

1524
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 4: game were returning for them. So I felt like, at

1525
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 4: least skill set wise, we knew personnel what we were

1526
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 4: going against. And as you know in today's world, how

1527
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 4: you can change your roster, I mean overnight, and you

1528
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 4: know the way we didn't when I was a head

1529
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 4: coach at Missouri, you know, with the nil world and

1530
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 4: the transfer portal that didn't exist. So for us, I

1531
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 4: look at it every years, how can you build your

1532
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 4: roster for that season? And we made a lot of

1533
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 4: off season changes in our personnel. So I felt like

1534
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 4: in some deficiencies that we had last year, we were

1535
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 4: able to either recruit or through the transfer world trap

1536
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 4: guys that gave us an advantage in the certain situations

1537
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 4: where we had some deficiencies last year. So I felt

1538
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 4: good going into the game about just a physical matchup

1539
01:08:04,600 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 4: on them versus US. And then schematically, I liked what

1540
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 4: we were doing in all three phases.

1541
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 1: When you go and you changed, is it two hours

1542
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: as Vegas two hours difference than us one too? It

1543
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:19,320
Speaker 1: is how do you how do you treat that with

1544
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 1: your team? Do you get there a couple of days

1545
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: early if there's a time zone change?

1546
01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 4: You know, for us, we're an early morning team. We

1547
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 4: practice in the mornings, We work out in the mornings

1548
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,519
Speaker 4: just because of the heat for most of the year,

1549
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,560
Speaker 4: so we're on the field early in the morning. So

1550
01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:37,800
Speaker 4: I think number one, you have to look at it

1551
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 4: for us on what fits your team, and every team's differently,

1552
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 4: so an early morning team. But also you look at

1553
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,519
Speaker 4: coming off of the week before. We had a Saturday

1554
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 4: game and then it was a quick turnaround with a

1555
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 4: Friday night game in Kansas City, so the work week

1556
01:08:57,120 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 4: was condensed. So I was really concerned about our players

1557
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 4: on the time change, on enough rest, on the things

1558
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 4: that needed to do. So we spent a lot of

1559
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 4: time in the off season really looking at what our

1560
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 4: team needed going into this week, specifically for time change,

1561
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,719
Speaker 4: short schedule, rest, recovery, all the things that go into

1562
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 4: that really scientifically, and I think we had a great

1563
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,720
Speaker 4: plan we went in on just like any other game.

1564
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 4: I want to get to the location, the city, whether

1565
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 4: it's whole or a way. We try to get to

1566
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 4: the hotel at five o'clock the day before the game,

1567
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:34,160
Speaker 4: and then we lock into our normal routine.

1568
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Whenever there's a day shorter than normal, do you cram

1569
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: in more things per day or will you just not

1570
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 1: have the normal day off that you normally have.

1571
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for us, we move everything up one calendar day,

1572
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 4: so I don't know that our players noticed a big

1573
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 4: difference on what their days were like. Certainly the staff.

1574
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 4: As soon as that game was over on Saturday, we

1575
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 4: went work on Kansas and a lot of credit to

1576
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,280
Speaker 4: our staff, we did so many things in the offseason

1577
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 4: on for this week just knowing. But also, Bobby, we've

1578
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 4: got we've got five Friday night games this year. I mean,

1579
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 4: it's so unique on a schedule for us. But also

1580
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 4: with that, eleven of our twelve games are on national TV,

1581
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 4: so there's a little bit of trade off there, So

1582
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,760
Speaker 4: you've got to get creative with the schedule on what

1583
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 4: that looks like.

1584
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 1: I was watching you guys play Houston week one, and

1585
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: this is before oh you played Houston, because I watched

1586
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: that as well. I've accidentally taken it a couple Houston

1587
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: games and Houston to me is a better team than

1588
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: I thought they would be. But you guys beat them

1589
01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,679
Speaker 1: as twenty seven to seven. That second game you guys played,

1590
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: it was one of those games where it was like

1591
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 1: seventy to seven. Did you know who you were going

1592
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: into this Kansas game? Did you know Houston was a

1593
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: quality opponent, because again only two games in, but again

1594
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: that Utah Tech game was such a blowout, like, do

1595
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: you even have an identity after that game?

1596
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 4: No? I mean really after the Houston game, and there

1597
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,760
Speaker 4: is so much chunk known as you know, going into

1598
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 4: week one, and then they had a new coaching staff

1599
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,720
Speaker 4: and Willie Fritz as their head coach, and they had

1600
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 4: sixty something new players on their team compared to last year.

1601
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 4: So we spent a lot of time in the off

1602
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 4: season trying to piece that together. I thought we played well.

1603
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 4: I thought, you know, we left a number of things

1604
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 4: out on the field against Houston that I thought that

1605
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 4: game could have broke open a lot earlier that it did.

1606
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 4: And then the next week, I mean, we pulled our

1607
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 4: starters at the end of the first quarter. They were done,

1608
01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 4: and that helped us because it was a short week

1609
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 4: and we were they were off the field by one

1610
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 4: thirty that day. Our starters were, so yeah, there was

1611
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 4: still some unknown and I think, you know, we have

1612
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 4: made progress every single week on getting a little bit better.

1613
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 4: But the great thing is, you know, we're three and zero.

1614
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 4: We've got two really good wins against what we feel

1615
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 4: like quality opponents, but we haven't even gotten close to

1616
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 4: playing our best ball. And that's exciting.

1617
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to the Houston game just

1618
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: for a second, because when you see a team that

1619
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: you played and you play early and again, maybe both

1620
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: teams that are trying to find their identity as a

1621
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: football team, especially if they have a new coaching staff.

1622
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: But then Houston played Oklahoma very close, like the ball

1623
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:08,760
Speaker 1: bounce is a different way they win that game. Does

1624
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 1: that make you feel a little better about your team

1625
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: watching a like opponent play another really strong team.

1626
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1627
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 4: I think you look at that and as that game

1628
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 4: unfolded against Ou, you could see some of the things

1629
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 4: that you know, and I'm sure that coach Fritz is

1630
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 4: saying the same thing that they left some things out

1631
01:12:25,080 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 4: on the field. I think Houston's going to continue to

1632
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,160
Speaker 4: get better. They certainly they've got really good coaches and

1633
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 4: they've got a roster full of really good athletes, so

1634
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 4: I think they'll continue to get better. I think we

1635
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 4: played well. We won the turnover margin, we were good

1636
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:42,720
Speaker 4: in third downs, We did some things in the in

1637
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 4: the kicking game that really gave us an advantage. So

1638
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, I think good on good. We did what

1639
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 4: we needed to do to win that game. It's also

1640
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 4: good to see. Once you beat a team, if they

1641
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 4: can go have success for us, especially in the world

1642
01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 4: of the twelve team playoff, the strength of schedule certainly

1643
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 4: is going to help us this year. The more that

1644
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 4: Houston or Kansas can go win.

1645
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: You said it, so I'll go there. Do you talk

1646
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: about that with your team?

1647
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely? And you know, I never if I'm going to

1648
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:16,640
Speaker 4: be in the competitive arena, I want to win and

1649
01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 4: I want to achieve the highest goal you can achieve.

1650
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 4: So we understand we've got to win a Mountain West championship.

1651
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 6: We get that.

1652
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 4: We also understand now there's hope for most of the

1653
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 4: teams out there, there's not anymore after three weeks. But

1654
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,599
Speaker 4: we're still in the fight. We're still in the arena,

1655
01:13:32,240 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 4: and we know that our margin of area is zero.

1656
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 4: So I know the kids and our you know their team.

1657
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 4: We hear it, we read it, they see all they're

1658
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 4: told the stuff, So why not why not just address

1659
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 4: it and make it something that we're really working towards.

1660
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 4: We've got a mature team, So I'm very very open

1661
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,840
Speaker 4: and honest with them because I know I would rather

1662
01:13:54,920 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 4: be the voice of reason in the things that they're

1663
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 4: navigating through every day than them wondering where I stand

1664
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 4: with it.

1665
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,799
Speaker 1: You have a mature team, you say, and that probably

1666
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: helps after your real first national splash of press, right,

1667
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 1: can you talk to your guys and go I mean

1668
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 1: out of the rat poison, like Saban says, I keep

1669
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:14,679
Speaker 1: them from eating the rat poison.

1670
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:17,720
Speaker 4: Did you see that? I used that yesterday in my

1671
01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 4: team meeting. And you know the thing, and it's crazy

1672
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 4: because we're just scratching the surface on what unov can be.

1673
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 4: I mean, in the last before we got here, the

1674
01:14:29,240 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 4: last forty years, they had averaged three wins a season,

1675
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 4: so first time nationally ranked in the program history when

1676
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 4: the polls came out on Monday. I mean, all, this

1677
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 4: is new for a lot of people, but it's not

1678
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 4: new for what our expectation and our standards are as

1679
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 4: a team. So I've tried to set the stage through

1680
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 4: the education piece well before the season started on this

1681
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 4: is how it's going to go, this is what we

1682
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 4: need to do, and if we take care of our business,

1683
01:14:55,720 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 4: then then the prize gets a little bit larger towards

1684
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 4: the end of the year. And I mean, we we've

1685
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:03,280
Speaker 4: got We've got a beast of a schedule coming up,

1686
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 4: we play we have a bye this week, then we

1687
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 4: played Fresno, and then we've got Syracuse, who's playing really

1688
01:15:08,840 --> 01:15:11,680
Speaker 4: well on a Friday night, another short week, they come here.

1689
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 4: We've got at Utah State, We've got Boise so there's

1690
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 4: so many things, and we go to Oregon State. There's

1691
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 4: so many things here in the next five weeks that

1692
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 4: are are huge for our program on so many levels.

1693
01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine that you look forward to those games

1694
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: because like a Syracuse, right, they've the quarterback in Ohio

1695
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:32,920
Speaker 1: State last year was just throwing the crap out of

1696
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: the ball. But you for anybody that goes, wow, they're

1697
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: three and O, they've they've got to win over Kansas.

1698
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you play a couple of other really good

1699
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: teams and you end up winning the Mountain West and

1700
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 1: you have zero on that second half, it's all it's

1701
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: going to be impossible to keep you out like you

1702
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: need those Syracuse Boise State games, right.

1703
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And we were Bobby, We were very select and

1704
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 4: aggressive in how we scheduled our game our non conference

1705
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,640
Speaker 4: games this year because we knew, you know, we got

1706
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 4: to the Mountain West championship game last year and we

1707
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 4: came up short. So analytically, I did a lot of

1708
01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 4: things in the off season on looking okay, projection wise,

1709
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 4: if we would have won the Mountain West championship game

1710
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 4: with our schedule last year, would that gotten us in

1711
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 4: the playoffs? And we would have came up a little

1712
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 4: bit short last year. So talking to the people that know, okay,

1713
01:16:19,360 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 4: how do we if we get in that position again,

1714
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 4: how do we get into those twelve teams? And it

1715
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 4: was all down to strength to schedule. So you know,

1716
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 4: we went schedule the people that we did, and you

1717
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 4: know that can go two different ways, but I'm never

1718
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 4: going to back down from a challenge. And you also

1719
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:37,839
Speaker 4: look at the brand of the Mountain the West historically

1720
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:41,280
Speaker 4: over the last at least fifteen years, the champion of

1721
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:46,080
Speaker 4: that league, you know, probably should be in contention and

1722
01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 4: the conversation for a seat at the table of the

1723
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 4: twelve team every year.

1724
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: My preacher going up on about Thursday, would start to

1725
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 1: make notes on what he wanted the sermon to be,

1726
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: and he'd try not to repeat the sermon even though

1727
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: it's the same ish message. He'd find different ways to

1728
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: talk about the same message. And always for him, I

1729
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: remember talking to him about how we prepare sermons. As

1730
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: a head football coach, you have the same ish message,

1731
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: But when do you start working on what you're going

1732
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: to say like before the game or if you're going

1733
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to have notes at halftime.

1734
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:15,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of that is filled throughout

1735
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 4: the week, but every week we'll go into it with

1736
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,200
Speaker 4: staff input. I have a captain's meeting and leadership meeting

1737
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,080
Speaker 4: on Monday with a group of players and we talk

1738
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 4: about number one. Where my mind is on the message

1739
01:17:29,680 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 4: for the week starting on Monday. I get input from

1740
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 4: the coach, the assistant coaches, I get input from the

1741
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 4: leadership group, and then at some point you start to

1742
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 4: form the complete messages of what that is really going

1743
01:17:43,479 --> 01:17:47,280
Speaker 4: to be, what the team needs to hear, you know.

1744
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:51,280
Speaker 4: I try to give those talks throughout the week building

1745
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 4: up to the game. I don't know that four minutes

1746
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:58,600
Speaker 4: before we go out on the field, if they're not

1747
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 4: ready to go from a preparation standpoint at at that time,

1748
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 4: it really doesn't matter what I say. So there's a

1749
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 4: lot I have a team meeting every single day and

1750
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,919
Speaker 4: we talk. We talk a lot, and you know, the messaging,

1751
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 4: the motivation, the situation on where we are, what's going

1752
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 4: on around us, and it'll get down to our habits

1753
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 4: and our preparation and so that that's ongoing. And then

1754
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,760
Speaker 4: you know, there's a lot of times, as you know,

1755
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 4: you get into a situation and you have a gut

1756
01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:34,560
Speaker 4: feeling as you're talking through those things and and you

1757
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 4: and you ride with that. So there's a balance there.

1758
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:40,799
Speaker 1: We were talking to Michael Chandler, the MM a fighter

1759
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 1: and he was and it was a bit the opposite

1760
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 1: of what I thought. And he was like, when I

1761
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: go to fight, I don't want to be so pumped up.

1762
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 1: I want to actually be extremely calm. And he's like,

1763
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: there's a fine line, because calm you can think and feel.

1764
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you're way too pumped up, you're not thinking

1765
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: because you're drilling so high. Where do you fall in

1766
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 1: that pre game? Do you want your players up or

1767
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: do you do you do you want to chill down?

1768
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 4: Every everybody, every competitor is so different. My biggest challenge,

1769
01:19:10,840 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 4: and you know, let's rewind a number of years ago

1770
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 4: when I was a player and I wasn't very good,

1771
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 4: but but this worked for me. I would almost get

1772
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 4: in a state after pregame warm up before we went

1773
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 4: back on on the field, I would you know, there

1774
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:31,400
Speaker 4: were times I would fall asleep because you're just visualizing things,

1775
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 4: and and so everybody I learned at that point. Everybody's

1776
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:38,200
Speaker 4: so different. Some guys need that, but other guys, you know,

1777
01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 4: I just want them to be in their zone. And

1778
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,439
Speaker 4: if you prepare the right way. We have we have

1779
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 4: game week preparation and then once we get into forty

1780
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 4: eight hours before kickoff, we really ratchet it up and

1781
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 4: we talk about a forty eight hour preparational what that

1782
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 4: looks like, and it's the mental side of the game,

1783
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 4: it's positive self talk, it's a number of those things

1784
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 4: that go along with that. I'm trying to get them

1785
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 4: into their rhythm, into the state of the flow, the

1786
01:20:04,920 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 4: flow state of what it looks like for them to

1787
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 4: be at their best. And I've learned, you know, the

1788
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 4: quarterback is different than the mike linebacker, and everybody approaches

1789
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:18,599
Speaker 4: it the same way. But if your preparation habits aligned

1790
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:21,720
Speaker 4: the way that they should, then when that balls kicked off,

1791
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 4: you're going to be in the flow state and ready

1792
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 4: to go.

1793
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,080
Speaker 1: In helmet communication. How's that been for you guys so far?

1794
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 4: It's been amazing and I think, you know, I think

1795
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,640
Speaker 4: it's enhanced the game. I really do. Fortunately for us,

1796
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 4: we had a trial run with it last year in

1797
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:38,959
Speaker 4: the bowl game, so that and the tablets on the sideline,

1798
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 4: we had a little bit of an advantage going into

1799
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 4: this year on what that looked like and what it

1800
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 4: was what it was like for us. The thing that

1801
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 4: is the challenge, you know, on when the offense comes

1802
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:51,640
Speaker 4: off the field and you want to sit there and

1803
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 4: look at the tablet the whole time instead of coaching

1804
01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 4: your team and teaching your team, there's a balance on

1805
01:20:56,880 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 4: making sure that it's not only looking at the tablet.

1806
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:02,679
Speaker 4: So there's there's been some adjustments with that. I think

1807
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 4: the player to coach communication is is is a great

1808
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 4: thing for college football. You can you can get really

1809
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 4: creative on because you're you've got all this time until

1810
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 4: the play clock hits fifteen before it shuts out, so

1811
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 4: you can make a lot of in game checks, in

1812
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 4: play checks before the ball snapped.

1813
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: My final three questions, Eddie coach.

1814
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:25,040
Speaker 5: You know it's funny now on Sundays we get to

1815
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 5: hear Tom Brady, you know, commentate, and of course people

1816
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 5: have different opinions on how he did or how he's doing.

1817
01:21:31,240 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 5: But you know, you're knowledgeable of football, You're you know

1818
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 5: a lot about it. You think you can get in

1819
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 5: the booth, coach and do good at commentating on a game.

1820
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,439
Speaker 4: I would be I think I would be in a

1821
01:21:44,560 --> 01:21:49,600
Speaker 4: position to provide a perspective that some can't. You know,

1822
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:54,439
Speaker 4: I would would probably be a better sideline reporter than

1823
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:56,560
Speaker 4: up in the box. We'd like to move around a

1824
01:21:56,600 --> 01:22:01,879
Speaker 4: little bit more. Yeah, yeah, all the elements, all the elements.

1825
01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:04,559
Speaker 4: But I think you know, you can pick out things

1826
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 4: that maybe the normal fan wouldn't be able to see,

1827
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,800
Speaker 4: and then they see that and relate to it and like,

1828
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 4: oh that makes perfect sense.

1829
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 1: Final two questions, What do you say to a kicker?

1830
01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:16,640
Speaker 1: And I want to give you two scenarios. One that

1831
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,519
Speaker 1: kicks coming up, they just ye him. He hasn't really missed,

1832
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: he's kicked pretty well. What do you say to him

1833
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: before he goes out or maybe it's nothing, Or what

1834
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: do you say to a kicker that misses a big

1835
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:28,720
Speaker 1: kick yet he still has another quarter and a half

1836
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: of the game left.

1837
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you know, there's so many times that a

1838
01:22:32,840 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 4: game will come down to a field goal. So now

1839
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,759
Speaker 4: if the other team takes a time out, I remind

1840
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,640
Speaker 4: them that they can't. Even if they have another time out,

1841
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 4: they can't take it because now it's a penalty if

1842
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 4: you take back to back time out. So I just

1843
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 4: remind him of those things. I want to get him

1844
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 4: time and get away from him and get a couple

1845
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 4: of extra practice swings in to visualize the things he

1846
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 4: needs to and then I try to be ultra positive

1847
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 4: on a give them a point of you've got this,

1848
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 4: You've done it a million times, go be who you are.

1849
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:10,600
Speaker 4: If they happen to miss one, Okay, you've got to

1850
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 4: look at was it the snap? Was it the hold?

1851
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 4: Was it the protection? Did we miss hit it? Did

1852
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 4: we did we not follow through? I want to get

1853
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 4: information from the kicker on on the reasons why, because

1854
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 4: if we're going to put them out there to kick it,

1855
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 4: I've got great, strong conviction that they're going to go

1856
01:23:25,400 --> 01:23:25,600
Speaker 4: make it.

1857
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 1: Last question, you've mentioned visualization a few times.

1858
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 4: Now.

1859
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,760
Speaker 1: Do you have somebody on staff that works with your

1860
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:35,280
Speaker 1: athletes on visualization, that therapist or somebody of any kind.

1861
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:40,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've we've got you know this, In college football,

1862

Speaker 4: the staffs have exploded, right You've got all these people

1863
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 4: different work and we're a little bit different at unob

1864
01:23:47,439 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 4: we're smaller staff, but very efficient and effective on how

1865
01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 4: we do things organizationally and structurally. I'll spend time with

1866

1922
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 1: They did a little bit. They didn't drop Spots, Eagles

1923
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: and Texans after that at three Lions in Buffalo, Bulls right, Ravens.

1924
01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,280

1925
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 6: New York Jets.

1926
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 1: The Jets are above the Bengals and the.

1927
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 2: I mean one game in the cowy See. This is

1928
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, this is what I'm saying about America.

1929
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: For both of them. But but listen, they beat the Titans.

1930
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:47,719
Speaker 1: They didn't get anybody beat the Titans.

1931
01:26:48,080 --> 01:26:50,800
Speaker 2: But it's crazy like they went up though, they went

1932
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 2: up the Cowboys. They lose one game and they dropped

1933
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 2: six five points. What do they drop though?

1934
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 1: I would think the bet here would be, if you're

1935
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:04,519
Speaker 1: just playing odds value, it would be the Bengals of

1936
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,679
Speaker 1: plus sixteen hundred. Yeah, yeah, because they have the realist

1937
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:10,639
Speaker 1: shot to win it all with those terrible odds.

1938
01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're oh and two right, yes, and they always.

1939
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 7: Start with terrible three or four years in a row.

1940
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys. So the Cowboys one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

1941
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: nine tenth.

1942
01:27:20,960 --> 01:27:21,839
Speaker 2: That is unbelievable.

1943
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 10: I think they were at five at the start of

1944
01:27:23,040 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 10: the season. It's a big game on Sunday.

1945
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: I knew you'd get all but heart out that one.

1946
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 7: That's ridiculous, man, America, he's been sensitive all week.

1947
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 5: Final thoughts, Eddie, Oh damn. I'm just looking forward to

1948
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 5: the Cowboys game this week. I'm just gonna chill and

1949
01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 5: whatever happens happens. Man, Like gay man, you know what's

1950
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 5: I'm probably gonna be in the air, so I might

1951
01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 5: be watching that one on the airplane, which is always fun,

1952
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 5: too good, because a flight was by fast and it's

1953
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 5: a long fly correct and I do like whenever like

1954
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 5: the Cowboys score, you hear like the five collaps and

1955
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 5: then you're.

1956
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 2: Like, oh, where are you at? Where you're at?

1957

Speaker 4: Yeah?

1958

01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 2: just gonna chill.

1960
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 4: Man.

1961
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,320

Speaker 6: The Yeah, I liked it.

1970
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:17,360

Speaker 13: you my age, same eye rolls. Yeah, like nails painted

1972

1973
01:28:27,560 --> 01:28:30,280
Speaker 13: point favorite in Dallas. H I mean that's crazy.

1974
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 10: And you can make the Ravens own three would be

1975
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:32,720

2028
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:30,120
