1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Had a bad injury that could have been career threatening.

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: He's really shown people how to how to persevere.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he's actually a battle multiple injuries since he's

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 3: gotten here to the Dallas Cowboys. In twenty seventeen, he

6
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 3: had a hamstring injury, so he missed all the preseason

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 3: games his rookie season, and then of course you look

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: at the twenty twenty two season, a season ending foot injury.

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 3: And I got a chance to talk with him, you know,

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 3: last year, going one on one with in first and

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 3: ten may make sure to check it out on YouTube.

12
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 3: Got the way guys, But no, and something that stood

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 3: out to me the most was his resiliency. And that's

14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 3: something that he had the help of Britt Brown, right,

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 3: who's been someone that's really just been installed instilling that

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: confidence in him to make sure that he continues to

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 3: show that resiliency no matter what he goes through.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 4: So I love that about him.

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, Britt Brown is a guy who I wish fans

20
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: knew more about. He's been on the athletic training staff

21
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: for years and years. He's absolutely as good a rehab

22
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: as there is in the league. And one way you

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: can tell it is the way the players trust him.

24
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: They absolutely will put their faith in whatever he tells

25
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: them to do. And then you can tell a lot

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: about a guy by asking Britt what about that guy?

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: Because if the guy is not devoting all of himself

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: to getting back on the field and being with his team,

29
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: Britt will let you know, Yeah, for sure. And Jordan

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: Lewis is one of his favorites.

31
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: Yeah.

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 3: I mean, and you look around the team, you know,

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: they all had that same type of resiliency and I'm

34
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: sure we'll see hopefully Micah show that as well. He's

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: obviously anxious to get back on the field, but he'll

36
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: be weak to week. But you know, going back to

37
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: Jordan Lewis, I think that's something that he learned at

38
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: a younger age because he's always been undersized, so that's

39
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 3: something that I feel like he's used to overcoming a

40
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: lot of things, so that that's also played a role

41
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: in his success.

42
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: To Yeah, he's absolut only one of the most critical

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: parts of their defense. So he is about to pull

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: into the parking lot, So I think we may just

45
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: take our first break early and have a little more

46
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: time to devote to Jordan Lewis when he gets here.

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Jordan's our special guest on the Cowboys Hour this evening.

Speaker 1: Club for leading the parade here at the Sidecar Social.

67
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: I'm Brad Sham with Nicole Hutchinson. Apparently the traffic in

68
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: the parking lot of the building is really heavy.

69
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: Pretty bad.

70
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: Because Jordan Lewis is still trying to wend his way

71
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: yeah into that, but we did save him a spot,

72
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: so at least you won't have to drive around and

73
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: find one. So tell why don't you tell people a

74
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: little bit about what your game day is like.

75
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 4: It's different every game day, honestly.

76
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 3: Home game days, I'll go to the stadium and then

77
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 3: I'll record my hits for the pregame live show and

78
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 3: then obviously sit through the game take some notes because

79
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 3: I have to produce my show for Mondays during the

80
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: day on Monday mornings called Cowboys Flashback. Make sure to

81
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 3: check it out in Vallety Sports Southwest if you haven't,

82
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: or also on Dallas Cowis you too too. And I

83
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 3: do my interviews postgame with some of the players that

84
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 3: I obviously feel had a huge impact on the game,

85
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: and then I work on producing my show.

86
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: So that's pretty much my game days.

87
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: And what about for a road game?

88
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: Road games, I stay here so in studio I help

89
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: out with the pregame show as well. I'll do my

90
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: hits for pregame show with Kyle Yeoman's, Nate Newton, Isaiah

91
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: stand Back and Barry Church, and then post game if

92
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 3: I'm able to hop on final word, I'll hop on

93
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: final word. But if now I'll be pre producing my

94
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: Cowboys flashback show on Monday?

95
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Is that harder to do without having the opportunity to

96
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: go into the locker room and talk to the guys

97
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: right after the game.

98
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: A little bit, because you want to be able to

99
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 3: have that one on one interaction and also that content

100
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 3: for the shows.

101
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 4: But typically I'll use the sound.

102
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 3: Our production team does a really good job of making

103
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: sure that they talk to all the guys in the

104
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,119
Speaker 3: locker room, so I get that sound well enough.

105
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: So how do you decide, Nicole, who are you going

106
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: to talk to after a game?

107
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: Just depend Like I know, when Camante Turpin had a

108
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: big game, I talked to him after that game. It

109
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 3: really just depends on who has the best performance that day.

110
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: So for example, if I were to go and travel

111
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 3: with you guys to New York on Thursday, I would

112
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 3: have probably talked to Rico Daldele just because obviously his

113
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 3: first touchdown of the year, but he played an integral

114
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: role in that run game finally you know, able.

115
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 4: To be established.

116
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 3: Uh So I would have talked to Rico there, or

117
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: maybe even CD just because of the week before, you know,

118
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 3: the issues that they had, and finally him and Dak

119
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: got a chance to show that they were in sync.

120
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: So it really just depends on who has the best day.

121
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: And how about somebody like and I'm saying this because

122
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: I know how to Ammani or Warri. I saved the game.

123
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: I know save I would have talked to him maybe

124
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: as well. It just depends, I mean, on how the

125
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: flow of the game worked. I probably would have talked

126
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 3: to him Moni as well. But it really just depends

127
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 3: on also locker room availability. Some guys tend to just

128
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: go and leave right after the game. You have some

129
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 3: guys that stay. So it really just depends.

130
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: Do you know, then when a game is over, how

131
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: you want to structure what you want to do for

132
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: the rest of the week.

133
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: Nope, not at all. I just kind of go with.

134
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: The flood, do you, I mean, do you just like

135
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: seriously make it up every day?

136
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: Literally make it up every day.

137
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: But I mean some things stay the same, Like Mondays,

138
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: I have Cowboys flashback, then we have Cowboys Hour, and

139
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: then either Tuesdays or Wednesdays, I'll tape five points that

140
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: goes on social and then Thursdays and Fridays. Thursdays, I'm

141
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 3: pre producing Cowboys Rewind, which I tape on Fridays, so

142
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 3: those things stay the same. But anything can happen at

143
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: any moment, and I just have to be prepared.

144
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: Now, we teased you a little bit over the last

145
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: couple of years. You're a Houston girl.

146
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: I'm a Houston girley.

156
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,160

166
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,760

167
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: Texans and the Cowboys?

168
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,199

183
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: faking being for Dallas.

Speaker 1: the state of affairs right now. You know, big win,

232
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: congratulations on the win. You've dealt with a really nasty injury.

233
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: It's part of your game. You all know it. You

234
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: don't expect to see Probably, I don't think you'll be

235
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: mad at me for saying this. Your two best defensive

236
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: players go out for a prolonged period in the same game.

237
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: You don't expect to see that. There, What is that like?

238
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: For a player.

239
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 7: Uh, it's tough, and we knew it was gonna be

240
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 7: tough because Mett life is that feel is bad, that

241
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 7: turf is really bad. So I mean a lot of

242
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 7: guys came out with nicks and bruises, but you know,

243
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 7: our our two best guys on the edge that you know,

244
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 7: got hurt the worst, so that that doesn't help them.

245
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 7: So it's it's tough, especially when you see him. It

246
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 7: was I think it was damn the same series it happened,

247
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 7: so it was it was I'm glad that Michaeh got up.

248
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 7: I didn't even see the loss, so, I mean, I

249
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 7: just saw Michael get up. I don't even know the

250
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 7: Law was hurting till they.

251
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: Said he tried to go back.

252
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: In yeah, which is very the law. Yeah. Yeah.

253
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: Well so when you reel up, that was in the

254
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: second half, right, so I think.

255
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: It's probably the fourth quarter.

256
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Fourth quarter, Yeah, So you your games and the balance

257
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: you can focus on, just play and make sure we

258
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: and then what happens when you get on the plane

259
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: and you're going home in the middle of the night

260
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: and saying we're gonna play without those two guys, I.

261
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 7: Don't know, man, It's just we haven't we haven't really

262
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 7: gained plan for the Stealers, but we know exactly what

263
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 7: they want to do. So it's definitely gonna be difficult

264
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 7: without our two best guys on the edge and you know,

265
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 7: just setting the tone up there. So we just gotta

266
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 7: find ways to you know, uh, supplement their their productivity,

267
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 7: which is you can't really do, but we gotta find it.

268
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 7: We gotta find a way, honestly, because you know, we

269
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 7: know what the Stellers want to do.

270
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 3: And in that running game, that was obviously the big

271
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: talk today in locker room and the number one question asked,

272
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: and oh so Diggy do what had been and how

273
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: he has still a lot of confidence and guys like

274
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: Marshaun nieland Chauncey Goldston, where's in Carlawson?

275
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: What's your confidence level?

276
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: And those guys that's next guy up.

277
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 7: I mean, I I we've had some injury bugs in

278
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 7: our room from the last few years, so.

279
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: Guys just stepped up.

280
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 7: So it's just an opportunity for guys to you know,

281
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 7: just show their talents and be able to go out

282
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 7: there and execute at the highest level.

283
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: And I feel like we coached up to do that

284
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: and we just gotta go out there and show.

285
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: You have a couple of injury bugs right in the game.

286
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: You're already missing Daron Bland and now young mister Carson

287
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: couldn't play. They had a bad shoulder. And then you

288
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: made it. You didn't Coach Zimmer made a change at halftime?

289
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: And uh and how about or how many guys on

Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody.

292
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: Everybody can say everybody. All I'm hearing is who way, way,

293
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: nobody doesn't want to try.

294
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, But I mean it's just it's simple. I guess

295
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 7: he's just that's that's what he's been called. You know,

296
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 7: people see the syllables and they don't even try.

297
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: But it's not that. It's not that hard.

298
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: It's not that hard. It's not that hard.

299
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. See when I see that one, that's kind of

300
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, what's up?

301
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Halftime comes and and they

302
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: told get in there. I mean, do you do anything

303
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: to try to put him into easy He's.

304
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 7: A veterand I know I'm from Detroit, so I'm familiar

305
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 7: with his game. When he was in Detroit, he had

306
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 7: a season where he had six picks.

307
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 2: So I knew he was. He was used to being

308
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: a number one.

309
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 7: He had experienced being a number one corner, so stepping

310
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 7: in and coming in and doing that job wasn't hard

311
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: for him. It was just, you know, just getting reacquainted

312
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 7: with going ahead and having some live snaps in the

313
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 7: in the real game. It's just, you know, it's like

314
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 7: riding a bike. After a while, some people don't get

315
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 7: back on that bike because it's kind of scary, but

316
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 7: I mean, once you get on it, it's it's easy.

317
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 7: It's almost like, I feel like, he did really good job.

318
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: You were one of the most vocal guys since I've

319
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: been here. It's only been a year, and I have

320
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 3: never seen you that.

321
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 4: Vocal about a loss or frustrated about a loss.

322
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: But seeing the way that you know, you guys turned

323
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: it around, paid attention to the details, and I think

324
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 3: I counted you said details like fourteen times in that

325
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 3: one locker room interfere Just how good did it see?

326
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 3: How good did it feel to you know, see your

327
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: guys kind of bounce back from that loss.

328
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 7: I feel really well, it felt really good just understanding

329
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 7: that we needed something, we needed something to propel our

330
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 7: our our our defense and and that's what it was,

331
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 7: just being on the details and detail oriented. Understand that

332
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 7: when that you know, it's it's nothing that coach Zimmer

333
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 7: Zim Zimmer can do or you know.

334
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: Anybody can do.

335
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 7: That's going to help us prepare to go out there

336
00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 7: and do our jobs and our techniques.

337
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: We just got to go out there and do it.

338
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 2: And I feel like.

339
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 7: That was the most more most frustrating part of you know,

340
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 7: our performance the last two weeks was you know, it

341
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 7: wasn't nothing anybody could do but us, and we go out.

342
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: There and execute.

343
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 7: So it definitely felt good to you know, stop the

344
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 7: run one and go out there and get a one win.

345
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: You had a couple of days now to regenerate physically

346
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: after getting back. You're you're no twenty two year old,

347
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: and you've had some bumps and bruises in that body.

348
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: So when you get back at four in the morning,

349
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: yet home probably for thirty Yeah, how long does it

350
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: take you now to recover from them.

351
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 7: I'm actually doing a better job since my injury. I

352
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 7: eat way better. I go to sleep. I don't know

353
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 7: if that's old age or just you know, because I

354
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 7: need to, but I get sleepy earlier so that helps

355
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: a lot.

356
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: Going on, go to sleep sometimes at nine thirty or ten.

357
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Rad, Yeah, there we go.

358
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I try to stay up for these these late

359
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 7: Monday and Thursday games. And yeah, I always miss him,

360
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 7: always miss him. But yeah, just getting sleep that helps

361
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 7: a lot. And I'm just you know, making sure I

362
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 7: don't eat anything that inflames my foot, so that that helps.

363
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you don't eat anything that inflames your foot.

364
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: What would you eat that would inflame your foot?

365
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: Like fry stuff?

366
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 7: I mean every once in a while, but like just

367
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 7: on a short week, you don't want to eat anything

368
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 7: like that, or you know, drinking anything any type of sugar,

369
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 7: anything with a high you know sugar, I guess anything

370
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 7: with anything like refined sugars.

371
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: I try to stay away fro all right.

372
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: If that makes sense. All right, So now you're going

373
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: back Tomorrow's day off, so you'll be back on the

374
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: field and with the coaches on Wednesday, and you'll be

375
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: focusing your attention. And once a couple of days goes by,

376
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: you have another game plan, you focus on the next opponent.

377
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: Is it easier then for all of the rest of

378
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:07,439
Speaker 1: you to say, look, Mike, is not playing. D Law's

379
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: not playing. It's up to us as opposed to saying,

380
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: oh man, what are we gonna do without them?

381
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: Guys? Yeah, like we just got to prepare like we

382
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: don't have them.

383
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 7: That's it's hard. It's hard, it's hard to do. It's

384
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 7: easier said than done. But that's that's just the reality

385
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 7: of the situation. We gotta go out there and play

386
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 7: Cowboys football and and stay detailed and not let those

387
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 7: distractions or you know, shortcomings. So I feel like I

388
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 7: would say, just like the reel our our our season

389
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 7: or you know, these few weeks without.

390
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 1: Them, how much did the win Thursday night? Burst the

391
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: frustration bubble and let you breath.

392
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 2: We can't look at it like that. It's a long season.

393
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 7: We gotta stay on, you know, on our our r

394
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 7: p's and q's and understand that this is a long season.

395
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 7: And you know, it's any given Sunday anybody can beat us.

396
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 7: And you know, an you know, as a Dallas Cowboy,

397
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 7: people have their you know, they're targeting on our backs.

398
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: Did they at least give you, guys, just a little

399
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 3: bit of confidence though, you know, being able to bounce back.

400
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 7: It felt good to know that we can stop the run.

401
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 7: And when we when we do our jobs, you know,

402
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 7: it's not just helpless. So just staying on that effort

403
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 7: and understanding that we got to do that every single

404
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 7: time we were out out there.

405
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm on the field. You know that that's the key.

406
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 7: Just going out there and understand that we got to

407
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 7: do that every single time we go out there.

00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: who don't use paper. Everything's on the phone and if

421
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: the phone goes to sleep, she now has to open

422
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: the phone to get to the script, as opposed to

423
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: a piece of paper, which I'd like to point out

Speaker 3: A foundation, Jorge Lewis Foundation. Can you just for those

436
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: who don't know, for Cowboys Nation? Can you just tell

437
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: everybody what that is.

438
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 7: It's a foundation for like an inner city youth. It's

439
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 7: more so for football players, but it's it's more like

440
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 7: student athletes. But we have a football camp that we

441
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 7: host every year, and I have a seven on seven

442
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 7: team that I focus on and help with my in

443
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 7: help with my one of my good friends, and the

444
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 7: kind of runs it. So I have like a little

445
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 7: a farm league of footballers.

446
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 4: And how long has it been?

447
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: Around two years? So we've been doing it for two

448
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: years now.

449
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 7: I've been associated with it's called Total Coverage Academy, my

450
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 7: seven on seven team, so I've been doing that for

451
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 7: two years, but my football camp, I've been doing it

452
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 7: since twenty eighteen.

453
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 4: And it also provides mentorship to the youth right absolutely.

454
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 4: Why is that so important for you?

455
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 2: Because I never really saw a lot of.

456
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 7: Like professional athletes in my vicinity, so I didn't know

457
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 7: what it felt like to see or be inspired by

458
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 7: a god like me. So I feel like when I, well,

459
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 7: I knew once I got here that I wanted to

460
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 7: be the person that I always wanted. So just being

461
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 7: around the kids doing whatever I can training with them, uh,

462
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 7: whatever type of advice I can give them, it's just

463
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 7: it's invaluable to them because I knew it would have

464
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 7: been invaluable to me at that age.

465
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: How do you see them reacting?

466
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: Oh, they play it cool.

467
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 7: You know, the social media age you gots, you gotta

468
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 7: seem cooler than everybody, So they seem cool, but you

469
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 7: can tell when they there.

470
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 2: You can feel like hearts beating and and kind of

471
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: shaking and stuff.

472
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 7: So it's cool to be around them and see the

473
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 7: reactions they get and the questions that I get from them,

474
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 7: so it's it's really good to be around them.

475
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: You know, they keep me young because n coach just

476
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: call me thirty. She prefer me.

477
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 4: You know what, I'm just gonna out there.

478
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 1: No, no, but let me just let me just tell

479
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: you there are a lot worse things. You can be

480
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: called the thirty.

481
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, absolutely right, You're right, You're absolutely right.

482
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: But that's that's experience. Brad. We got experience.

483
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: We do, we do, and yours. We've had this conversation before,

484
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: but I like for people to hear it. You were

485
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: an All American at Michigan, third round pick when you

486
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 1: came into the league. You came to the Dallas Cowboys

487
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. What was your expectation here I go? You

488
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: were you mad not to have been picked earlier?

489
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

490
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, but I knew I wasn't gonna go earlier because

491
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 7: you know, I kind of got into some legal trouble.

492
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 7: But I knew that it would be later than the

493
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 7: first round, but I didn't know it was gonna be third,

494
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 7: So I was kind of upset.

495
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: But I just felt like it was a new opportunity

496
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: to show, you know, who I was.

497
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 7: But I didn't know exactly how the politics worked as

498
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 7: far as first, second, third, and all the draft picks

499
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 7: and you know who they liked and different things like that.

500
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 7: So it took me a while to understand, you know,

501
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 7: how to be a professional athlete and how to you know,

502
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 7: I feel like, conduct yourself, especially as a Dallas And I.

503
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: Would say, first of all, there's a third round picks

504
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: pretty good.

505
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I know, and as I as I, as

506
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 7: I gained experience, I know like that's third round pick

507
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 7: is a pretty high ru draft pick.

508
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: So but when you came in and you're a third

509
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: round pick instead of a second round pick, which is

510
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: probably as low as you expected to go, right, Yeah,

511
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 1: Uh did you have a chip on your shoulder?

512
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I was.

513
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 8: I was.

514
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 2: I was extremely angry and I wanted to hit somebody.

515
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: And do you still have it?

516
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 2: Yes?

517
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 7: Absolutely, And that's just that just comes with Uh. I

518
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 7: feel like every year the draft comes and it's just

519
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 7: it recognizes that that that fire I had in myself

520
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 7: to see like, Okay, this guy is all hyped up

521
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 7: and that's this is I'm not supposed to be telling

522
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 7: these different secrets and stuff like that.

523
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 2: But I definitely as a as an athlete. I have

524
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: that chip.

525
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm interested in that because I'm always fascinated by how

526
00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: many guys either I have a reason to have that

527
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: chip coming in or maybe manufacture one and they carry

528
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: it forever. The best example I can think of is

529
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandrick. It was your teammate. Now, he was a

530
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: sixth round pick. I think he was real salty, Yeah

531
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: he was. He was salty all the time. Love guy,

532
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: but he was salty all the time. And he made

533
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: no bones about the fact that he thought he was

534
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: better than a sixth round pick. And so he was

535
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: going to keep that chip on his shoulder the entire time,

536
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: and it helped make him a Pro Bowl player and

537
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: probably kept him in the league as long. And would

538
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: you agree with that?

539
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 7: I would I definitely agree with that man, just seeing

540
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 7: the way he approached the game, and you know, seeing

541
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 7: how angry he was every day at you know, the offense,

542
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 7: just our offense, anybody's offense. He was just he was

543
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 7: trying to get after him. So just the way he prepared,

544
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 7: he was extremely smart, instinctual, and just a really I

545
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 7: feel like tough guy. And he was competitive. So I mean,

546
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 7: like that's something I saw and I'm like, why are

547
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 7: you just angry?

548
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: And as time went on, I'm like, Jesus, I understand.

549
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 7: I understand it because it definitely it helps you with

550
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 7: that competitive edge and it keeps you, you know, engaged,

551
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,479
Speaker 7: and keeps that fire keep going and as a professional athlete,

552
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 7: because it's easy to get complacent, you know, with the

553
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 7: money and everything that it comes with, especially Dallas Cowboy,

554
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 7: but that that fire.

555
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 2: Keeps me going.

556
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Do you feel like that chip on your shoulder for

557
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: you which was kind of a little different because you know,

558
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: in high school you said you mentioned to me that you.

559
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 4: Had always battled being undersized.

560
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: And that kind of negated your playing time coming into

561
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys and then battling injuries as well. Do

562
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 3: you feel like that chip on your shoulder has has

563
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 3: kind of helped you throughout your career and honestly like

564
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: adding more.

565
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: Time to you being here in the career.

566
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it has.

567
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 7: Honestly, just just keeping that edge and just understanding like

568
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 7: you gotta you gotta compete with the best every single

569
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 7: time you step out there. That that gave me that edge,

570
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 7: you know, like this is what it takes, you know

571
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 7: what I mean, you have to train the best you

572
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 7: have to, you know, just work and and and and

573
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 7: and manifested and and have a mindset of you're gonna

574
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 7: go out there and dominate no matter what. So just

575
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 7: just having that edge it kept me in in the

576
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 7: league and it definitely helped me at this till this point.

577
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 4: How is Al Harris? Because something that I remember Kayln

578
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 4: Carson talking.

579
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 3: About is the fact that Al has instilled so much

580
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 3: confidence in him since he got here. How much has

581
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: you kind of had to go through different coordinators and

582
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 3: things like that, but how much has Al Harris, I

583
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 3: guess added to your.

584
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: Confidence now that you are what your what is this

585
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: your eight for you? How does he continue to It's.

586
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: Like it's crazy to say.

587
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 7: It's like plug and play and his the things that

588
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 7: he does for the cornerbacks and you know, the different

589
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 7: types of you know reads that he can. You know,

590
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 7: he gets us to to see out there, it's it's

591
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 7: definitely to our advantage to go out there and be aggressive.

592
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 7: So as you can see, he has guys, you know,

593
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 7: he picks guy's fifth round, sixth round, and he go

594
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 7: out there and they performed like you know pro bowlers.

595
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 7: So just his system of doing things the way he's

596
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 7: a technician. It definitely helped us, you know, go out

597
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 7: there and perform our to our best ability.

598
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: How many dB coaches have you had since you've been here?

599
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 8: Uh?

600
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:24,640

Speaker 2: I'm experienced, bron. We just talked about it.

606
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,919
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean you were experienced. You were three years

607
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: in the league when he got here.

608
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 2: No, I watched football. I was old enough. I was

609
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: experienced enough to watch see him play football.

610
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: You are you surprised when you come across your teammate

611
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: who is not a football fan and.

612
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: Does Yeah, and like I'm saying, that's probably the older me.

613
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: I just get angry. I'm like, why do you not

614
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: know this person? Like? Why are you not watching football?

615
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 5: Oh?

616
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: I had that conversation with a young reporter today. I

617
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: won't say his.

618
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 2: Name, and he didn't know who Al was.

619
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: No, No, but he didn't know who Nick. He'd never

620
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: heard of Nick Guanacatti. Really, you you ever heard of

621
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Nick Buonacotti.

622
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 2: I'm not that old.

623
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: So this is what I said to him. I understand,

624
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: very few people are I am, but Nick Buonicatti was

625
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,959
Speaker 1: the middle linebacker on the Miami Dolphins unbeaten team.

626
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,440

629
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,919

630
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: around to watch him. I get it. They're the last

631
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: unbeaten team in the NFL. If you're covering the league,

632
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 1: you ought to be able to recite their starting lineups day?

633
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 2: Was that seventy three?

634
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: I think it was seventy three? Seventy two? Were seventy three? Okay,

635
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: but it's the same. So al Al was a guy

636
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: who was such a tremendous player. Yes, how does he

637
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: bring that into something so relatable for all of you

638
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: that makes you better play?

639
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 7: He understands what he's looking at, and he understands, you know,

640
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 7: the different things that the offense wants to do, especially receivers,

641
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 7: how they want to attack us.

642
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: And I mean, it hasn't varied that much since he's been,

643
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: you know, a coach.

644
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 7: So just just understanding the field of the game, that

645
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 7: he has and you know how he played it just

646
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 7: just you know, just trying to get that to his

647
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,839
Speaker 7: his players. And I mean he's done a fantastic job

648
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 7: since he's been in the league. He's had me countless

649
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 7: All pros, and he's gotten people paid all throughout the league.

650
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 7: So it's it's proven. His methods are proven.

651
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: So when I when I watch you and when I

652
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: think of you as a player, the things that come

653
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: immediately in my mind are your toughness and your feistiness

654
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: because you played than you are. Were you that way

655
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, do you think.

656
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was.

657
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 7: I just didn't know what I was doing. I was

658
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 7: just I was just running the gun. I was just young,

659
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 7: and you know, it was just full of energy. So

660
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 7: I just wanted to go out there and play. And

661
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 7: I didn't really understand, you know, the the NFL game

662
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 7: how I understand it now. So I was just going

663
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 7: out there trying to make plays and and just trying

664
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 7: to get on sports and every time I could.

665
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: But you know, that's that's not what NFL is. You know,

666
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: It's about the details.

667
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: When did you learn about the details?

668
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: My third year?

669
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 7: So going into my third year, I understood. I'm like,

670
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 7: I feel like, well, Chrystal Shark. So he sat me

671
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 7: down and he showed me how to play Nickel. He

672
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 7: showed me some of the snaps I had at Nickel

673
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 7: and how I was just running around like a chicken

674
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 7: with my head cut off. I had no idea what

675
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 7: was going on, and he showed me. I'm like, oh,

676
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 7: I'm just running around. So I had to understand, you know,

677
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 7: the different types of schemes and you know how that

678
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 7: we wanted to attack offenses and you know how did

679
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 7: you know Cover four and Cover three worked? And so

680
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 7: I had to learn that sit down and you know,

681
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 7: getting my book and I had to learn run fits.

682
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 7: I had to learn, you know, concepts that the the

683
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 7: opposing team wanted to do against us. So that that

684
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 7: helped me like a tremendous bit. So just understanding how

685
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 7: to play football at this level. So I feel like,

686
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 7: you know, sitting down my second year kind of helped me.

687
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 7: And he kind of humbled me at the time. No,

688
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 7: I didn't not, but I needed it. I needed it

689
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 7: to to understand how to play this game at a

690
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 7: very high level. Has that helped you as a father, Absolutely,

691
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 7: And that's why I get so mad when I see

692
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 7: guys just going out there, just running around, because I mean,

693
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 7: you can't do that.

694
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: In the real world.

695
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 7: You know, your children are watching you. They have to

696
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 7: be you know, it has to be a system to

697
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 7: the madness if you do have a system. So that's

698
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 7: that's the key thing I want guys to understand, is

699
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 7: this is not just the sports a way of life,

700
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 7: and you should live like how you play football.

701
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 4: How as being a father changed your outlook on life

702
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: a life, so it helped me a lot.

703
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 7: So you know, all of that that anger and you know,

704
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 7: all that pain that I felt coming into the league,

705
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 7: you know that that threat that that helped me thrive.

706
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 7: I feel like my family kind of flipped it and

707
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 7: now I'm I'm kind of motivated off of love. When

708
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 7: I kind I am motivated off of love and and

709
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 7: wanted to see them thrive. So you know, when I

710
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 7: see my my kids, my wife happy and doing well

711
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,320

00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: And welcome back to Brad Sham and Nicole Hutchinson are

728
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: very special guest is Cowboys cornerback Jordan Lewis.

729
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 2: We were just.

730
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: Talking about it, just seeing the news of the passing

731
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: of Pete Rose, baseball's all time hit leader. Big surprise

732
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: for that, got us talking. You're a baseball fan too, right,

733
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 1: little bit. And the very first thing that Jordan said

734
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: was will they put him in the Hall of Fame?

735
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: And you and so you said, you said you thought

736
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: that was not right that he was not in the

737
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, because.

738
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 7: I mean, benden is, I don't think that it should

739
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 7: change what he did, it didn't affect the way he played.

740
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 7: So I feel like that's all the reason to put

741
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 7: him in. I could see if he was doing steroids,

742
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 7: even though everybody was doing steroids, but that's I don't

743
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 7: think that's a reason not to put him in the

744
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 7: Hall of Fame.

745
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: So I would say this because I've changed my thinking

746
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: about this professional team sports, any team, sport, high school, college.

747
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: Without the integrity of the outcome, there's nothing. If people

748
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: think that the game is rigged coming in, then why

749
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: would I give you my time? Right?

750
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 2: You agree with that? Yes?

751
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: Okay, So he, as the manager of a team is

752
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: placing bets on games that his team is participating in.

753
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:57,399
Speaker 1: That's as wrong as you can get other than like shaving.

754
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 2: Points as a manager.

755
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 1: And for a long time I thought that was a disqualifier,

756
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: and over time I came to think, you know what

757
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 1: you can. You can put a designation on the plaque

758
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: or anything else. But the guy had more hits. He

759
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: wasn't just pretty good. Had more hits than anybody in

760
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: the history of the game. That guy probably needs to

761
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. So I would say yes,

762
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: And then you just said, who'd you ask me? About

763
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 1: and what would you say about Barry Bonds?

764
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

765
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: What about the steroids?

766
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 2: Pre steroids? Did you see?

767
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: Yes? And that's why I think he belongs in the

768
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. If you just look at Barry bonds

769
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: statistics in Pittsburgh before he bulked up, those are Hall

770
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: of Fame qualifiers.

771
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:46,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

772
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 4: Okay, what do you think I'm sitting this one out

773
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 4: that way?

774
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you sit out all right because please, yes,

775
00:45:55,040 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you? Go ahead.

776
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,479
Speaker 2: Hey, Jordan money is Corey.

777
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 7: My question is from your rookie year till now, where

778
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,479
Speaker 7: do you feel like you improve the most in your game?

779
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 7: Just thinking the game, honestly, and and and making sure

780
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 7: my body is right to be out there and perform

781
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 7: to my highest ability, to my best ability. So honestly,

782
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 7: just just studying the game and understanding how offenses want

783
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 7: to attack me U it helped me play it take faster.

784
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to Oh, go ahead, let's take another

785
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: one right here, all right, Jordan Larry from McKinney. What

786
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: is your personal thing?

787
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 4: And I understand if you can't answer that, but how

788
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 4: do you feel about Steven A.

789
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: Smith talking about his fans like that?

790
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 7: I'm Look, I've said a few choice things about steven A,

791
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,040
Speaker 7: but I feel like that's just his brand, honestly, and

792
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 7: that's that's what makes some money.

793
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: That's what makes Espen money. So hey, go do your thing.

794
00:46:58,840 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 2: He's bringing your attention.

795
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:06,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, I'm sitting that one out. I don't want

796
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: the time to get away without you talking about coming

797
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: back from the foot injury at twenty two? Is that right?

798
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

799
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: Almost ended your career, right, And I don't think people

800
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 1: have a proper appreciation for how dire an injury that

801
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: was and how hard you had to work to come

802
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: back from it, which is why your teammates voted you

803
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: the ad Bloc Courage Award, which is about the best

804
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: honor teammates can give a player who's head an injury.

805
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: What did you What were you thinking when you had

806
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: the injury and you found out how bad it was?

807
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 1: What were you thinking? And what did you have to

808
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: go through to get back?

809
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 2: Yeah? So I knew it was going to be a

810
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 2: grueling process and I knew that was gonna be hard.

811
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 7: People were telling me this is worse than the ACL

812
00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 7: all of this stuff, and I'm just like, please stop

813
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,120
Speaker 7: telling me this type of stuff. Like it's not helping me,

814
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: so honestly, just blocking out the negativity and understanding that

815
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 7: we just had to do the work.

816
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 2: So day by day, step by step. It was hard,

817
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,759
Speaker 2: and my wife could attest to it. It was. It

818
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 2: was definitely one of the more challenging times, but just

819
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: had to just work. Honestly.

820
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 7: It was never a point in our time where me

821
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 7: brick my wife, anybody thought that, you know, I was

822
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 7: going to retire. We just knew that it was gonna

823
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 7: be a lot of work ahead of us, and we

824
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 7: just we did everything we could to get back on

825
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 7: the field. So and that just just sacrificing different things

826
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 7: and and uh, different types of foods and sleeping at

827
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 7: nine thirty. So it was just all about wanting to

828
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 7: and like I said, the love I have for the game,

829
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 7: I love I have for my family, you know, be

830
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 7: make sure that they were.

831
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 2: Secure in life.

832
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 4: What were some of those days like for.

833
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 7: You as far as you want to, like just a

834
00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 7: rundown or just broken bones in Yeah, so it was everything.

835
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 7: It was broken bones, ligaments torn. So the nerve it

836
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 7: was really like the nerve pain, like the nerve damage

837
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 7: that I had. It was just shooting up my leg

838
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 7: and it would just it would be searing pain. So

839
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 7: if I wasn't on you know, some of the medication.

840
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 7: Once that wore off, it was a long night. So

841
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 7: we just tried to you know, supplement it, supplement that

842
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 7: as much as possible, find different ways to to you know,

843
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 7: ease the pain.

844
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: But it was I wouldn't wish I wouldn't wish that

845
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 2: on my worst enemy. So it was it was hard.

846
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 2: You know, I was sweating in and out.

847
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: And then nowhere in there did you think I, like,

848
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: I'll never come back from this.

849
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: No, I was, I'm just like Jesus, what what the heck?

850
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 2: What did I do to deserve it? But it was

851
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 2: just it was just something I had to go through.

852
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 2: I understood that I had to do it. If I

853
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: loved the game. How I said, I love the game,

854
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:54,840
Speaker 2: I had to do it.

855
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:00,359
Speaker 7: So it was maybe maybe delusion or just I would

856
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 7: write just stupidity, but I knew I was.

857
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 2: I was, I was gonna come back and play football.

858
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: It looks like it actually increased your love of the game.

859
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, it did, honestly, because I had to sacrifice so much,

860
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 7: you know, when I was coming back from it, when

861
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 7: I could actually walk in things like that. I couldn't

862
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 7: eat certain foods because it'll blow up and it swell,

863
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 7: and I couldn't walk and it was terrible. So I

864
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 7: had to sacrifice some stuff. So that's why I see

865
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 7: it as a blessing because it helped me. It helped

866
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,840
Speaker 7: me do be a better player, be a better person,

867
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 7: and you know, just understand, you know what I could

868
00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 7: do and what I couldn't do, and be more disciplined

869
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 7: in that would be would you do would.

870
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 1: You differ with me if I said, You've been the

871
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,439
Speaker 1: best player of your career in the last two years.

872
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 5: Uh?

873
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 7: I know, Actually since twenty twenty one, I feel like

874
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 7: I've been the best, honestly. So that's when the game

875
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 7: kind of slowed down for me, and you know, my

876
00:50:57,680 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 7: skills in my mind, you know, kind.

877
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: Of which is like caught up started working with out exactly.

878
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 7: So twenty one I had the most picks I had

879
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 7: in the season, I had three, and the most past breakups,

880
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 7: you know, from all of that stuff, I had all

881
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 7: of them, like those were I had a lot of

882
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 7: career highest twenty one. So twenty two I thought I

883
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 7: was gonna have amazing season, so kind of sucked that

884
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 7: it ended the highest up and it ended so and

885
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 7: then dB emerged and had all the picks at the

886
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 7: spot that I thought.

887
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 2: But it's all it's all God's timing.

888
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 7: Though without that injury, I don't think dB would us

889
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 7: saw a lot of time and you know, been the

890
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 7: All Pro guy that he would have been that year

891
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,359
Speaker 7: and propelled him to that next level.

892
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 2: So I just feel like everything happens for a reason.

893
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: When you step on the field, do you ever kind

894
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 3: of worry that you could get injured again? I know

895
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 3: sometimes athletes.

896
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean a lot of guys say they don't

897
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 7: think about it, but they I can guarantee you that

898
00:51:59,400 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 7: I do.

899
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 2: Not even stepping on the field, you know, if we're.

900
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 7: Traveling to having long travel just thinking about like we're

901
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 7: going to MetLife and you know how MetLife is, So

902
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's tough thinking about the services that

903
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 7: I have to play on different things like that. So

904
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 7: it like I said, like I try to block out

905
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 7: the negativity, but I mean it's always moments where you're like, dang,

906
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 7: what if?

907
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 2: What if? But once I hit the field, I don't

908
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: worry about it.

909
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: Well, I just we've only got about a minute and

910
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: a half left. Some of your you're talking about the

911
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: picks and fumble recoveries, and anybody who watches you understands

912
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 1: that some of your biggest contributions come on plays where

913
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: you tackle the guy but he didn't get a first out,

914
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: or you broke up a pass, and and there's I

915
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: can't even count the number of times that you have

916
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: made huge contributions for this team, and so very quickly

917
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: in about thirty seconds. You've never played in Pittsburgh.

918
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 2: Never.

919
00:52:57,800 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: What do you do to prepare yourself for that field?

920
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: You just gotta.

921
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 7: Visualize it, you know, just understand like it's gonna be

922
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 7: a hostile environment, and just know what type of team

923
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 7: you're going up against. And honestly, just as early as

924
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 7: I can get out on that field and feel the

925
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 7: ground and see the fans.

926
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: Man, this is a special young man, Jordan Lewis. Cowboys
