What is your thought on rebuild verse 0:03:56.200 --> 0:03:59.200 recalibration and general thoughts on Dan Quinn. 0:03:59.040 --> 0:03:59.400 And that says. 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.080 Thing is we bill in the league. If you're retooling now, 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.160 you just you're gathering up talent. And he was letting 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.680 you know that. He was saying, we got talent here. 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:07.680 They just want coach right now. He didn't want to 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.480 say that, but guess what, I'm gonna say it for him. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.680 I'm his interpreter. Right So, at the end of the day, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.400 when he was saying that, it's players here, look at 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.760 that d life. Yes, players he look at these wide receivers. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.280 It's players here. You got Cam Curroll, you got Jamien there. 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.640 It's players here. There's no excuse for you not winning. 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:23.120 So at the end of the day, what he's saying 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:25.719 is if we coach the players, we do have better 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.039 bring in some more talent. We got a chance to win, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.920 just like the Texans did. We got a chance to win, 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.719 just like the coach did. We got a chance to 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.120 turn this thing around. And that's what he was saying. 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.240 We're not rebuilding, we retoo. 0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.200 That's what you see around the league, though, I mean, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.320 I feel like you see so many different teams losing coaches. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:46.279 There's a few players here and there, and then the 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.159 new coach come in and do what the other coach 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.440 probably wasn't doing well enough. Yep, and now that team 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.800 is great and it don't take just many years or 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.320 that many years to do it because you have the 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.040 guys in the house just coaching better. Basically just basically saying, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:00.599 like a rebuilders were getting rid of guys. Yeah, you know, yeah, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.160 every now and then you get some of some of 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:03.680 these guys gonna be on your team next year, but 0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.800 you have the core of your team is still here. 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:08.960 So he like, man, and I love the fact that 0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:14.600 he didn't, Hey, don't put that in there over here, 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.200 You don't put it in my mouth and put it 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.360 in my mouth. But no, man, I loved every word 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:20.160 of it, and I understood it. 0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:20.479 You know. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.719 I feel like I've been a player that played like 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.360 crap last year because of some of the coaching and 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.560 just some of the bad play properly from my behalf too. 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.000 But getting somebody else in there to light a fire 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:32.360 into my you know, you know what. 0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:34.880 Yeah, now I'm playing like I was supposed to be playing. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.800 That's what we need, That's what he's gonna bring. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.359 We just saw that. We just saw Philadelphia basically lining 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.600 up with the same players of different coaches and was 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:45.560 two different teams. If you ever want to know how 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.160 important coaching is, look at that as an example. They 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.240 went to the super Bowl with the right coaching and 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.919 they was barely in the playoffs with doc two coaches, 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.840 same players. That's how important coaching is. So don't be 0:05:56.880 --> 0:05:59.160 shocked if the players on our team live up to 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.000 who they supposed to be. 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.440 Now, that was a great point. I just want to mention. 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:05.120 I remember listening to Troy Aikman and it got to 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:09.520 the point where the Eagles hadn't won, I mean, hadn't 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.599 lost yet again, they were still riding high. And I'm 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.960 not sure it was before they first loss or after 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.520 the first loss, and they had won a big, meaningful 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.159 game on a Sunday night or something like that, and 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.440 Troy was like, I probably want to say that it 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.760 was whatever night Troy was, you know, yeah, being a 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.719 call up the game, and he said, when is it enough? 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.360 When is it going to kind of stop for these guys? 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:34.320 When you gonna catch up? 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.200 When it's bingo, that's the word I'm trying you. When 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.120 is it gonna catch up? 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.680 He's like, they just keep winning these games by the 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:42.920 right man, and like, I don't know if they can 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.120 hold the hold up this this loan and they're doing it, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:47.440 but it just seems amazing. 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:47.760 He said that. 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.560 He said, it's amazing somebody see that these guys are 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:52.800 able to find a way to win. But when is 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:54.360 it going to stop and boom? 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.640 You know what I mean, you stop to the dramatic man. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.680 I think in other examples like the Houston Texans man, 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.200 I think coming into the year like that, that was 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.320 one of the worst rosters in the NFL, just kind 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.000 of like from the national media in terms of ranking. 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.800 Watch take him to go back to back one and 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:08.080 two people picked it. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.560 And you know, we were talking about last year when 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.160 they traded that pick, how it's going to be really 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:13.040 advantageous for who they trade with, Arizona? 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:13.560 Is that right? 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.600 So trade with Arizona and it's gonna they're gonna be 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.080 able to build their team through the draft and blah 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:18.680 blah blah blah blah. And it was a mistake for 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:19.960 them to trade the pick. But then you look at 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:21.600 it and they get the right coaches in there, they 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:24.240 get the maximize players, and I do think, like to 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.760 your point for it, it's never a true in the league. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.840 It's never a true rebuild, you know, never you're always 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.920 trying to kind of get back to the show. Do 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:33.680 I think it's going to take some time to get 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.880 this team to like a super Bowl championship. I think 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.080 so absolutely. But I do think that I like that mentality. 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.080 I think it's what I'm saying. I enjoy a guy 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.320 who's like, we're always attacking, we're always moving forward, and 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.200 just generally on the press conference, man like, how'd you 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:48.200 guys feel coming out of there? 0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:50.320 It was the longest press conference. 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.720 That's why I was taking news. I was taking knows 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.120 that my record. I had to do something to keep 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:57.520 me awake. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.520 I was like, I looked at my watch. I had 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:02.320 hit the time on it, Like I know, we ain't 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.920 just hit forty minutes in here, and coach was still 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:06.680 giving it to him. They'll just tell you he ain't 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.480 running away from no question, he ain't gonna sugar coat 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.880 no question. And hey, just ask me what you want. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.600 Y'all know what situation we in. We're starting right here. 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.280 That don't mean that's what we're going in there. 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.560 I enjoyed that I would listening to a coach like 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.840 I feel like, you know, I was listening to a 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.440 guy that you can tell that fire that that's going 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:25.800 to coach these guys. 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:26.000 You know what I mean. 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.559 I just love every moment of it, just talking about 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.760 certain things that he's mentioning, and I'm like, damn, like, bro, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.920 you get it, you know what I mean, just talking 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.640 about just you know, the things that they have to 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.560 do first, the things they're gonna do. 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:39.880 And he won't and he was like, you said, it 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.679 wasn't duck and nothing. He's letting it be known. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.440 Look, I'm not gonna say this to say that just 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:44.959 to make you have one of them hot. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.480 I'm not trying to win this Prince. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.800 But right now, man, we have a lot to do. 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:50.000 I'm happy here, this is. 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.920 I was waiting for this new, this opportunity again, Like 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.560 he's like, I was wondering when it was gonna come, 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:57.280 and it's here, and he said, it's not only just here, 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.960 it's the people that's here with It's the perfect situation 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.520 for me, you know, Herfrey storm. So I loved every 0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.480 bit of it. And you know, London alluded to this 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.760 the other day. He was talking about just how it 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.440 made him feel. It made me feel like you want 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.280 to be out there all over again and go to 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:12.920 world for him. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.160 You know, it ain't nothing like it. It's a different 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.200 feel when you have this because he don't come off 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.400 his military staff, but he looks it some about a bomb. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:25.160 He does have a very strong passionate, like he. 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.520 Just went overseas, fought in the war and came But 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.000 this a toughness about him. It's something about the ball 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:32.480 here coach. I got to do my numbers on ball 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.040 here coaches versus coaches with hair. 0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:38.600 But one of the things your guys are alluding to 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.960 there is like, is the culture right? Is this cultural 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.120 identity that he's established and having played for him, like 0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:47.559 that person you saw is the same person you get 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.800 to the meeting, right. He cares about the players, he 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.920 cares about the vision. And one of the things he 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.800 said that I thought was really interesting is like getting 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:56.120 the culture right leads to success in the field. And 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.400 I think a lot of fans probably bok at that 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.000 because you hear that and it sounds like a little 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.400 of a cop out. But I wanted to kind of 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.200 double click on that and just say, like, in my 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.160 experience when I've been on good teams, the culture is 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:10.640 one hundred percent right now. The culture is multi factorial, right, 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.679 It's this identity that the team has. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.720 But it's also an understanding of why are we here 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.000 one hundred percent, But it's also making sure you get 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.560 the right people in and to fit the culture, which 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:20.480 they talked about a lot. 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.120 So I just wanted to kind of clear that up intended. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.720 Do you have any thoughts on like getting that culture 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.960 as being an idea but also a getting the right 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.680 people in the building? 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:30.000 Is your identity? 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:30.839 Who are we? 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.720 How many years we talked about this every year here? 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:36.800 What are we going to do? We win to the 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:39.840 off season last year saying that I want to run 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.720 the football and he came out with a pass and 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:46.720 coordinated the very next season. After the off season, you said, 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.520 we want to run the ball more So, it's all 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.439 about just finding who you are, establishing that now at 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.040 the door. You know how we used to say, you know, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.839 when you talk to the chick, established a run, real quick, 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:59.480 established the run more time, Let me know where we at? Yeah, 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.319 you know, I mean the truth, Tim, if you're looking 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:02.800 for a boyfriend, you're looking for a good time. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.560 You know what I'm saying. Established the run. 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.240 That's the same way he's telling you. We're gonna we're 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.280 gonna get the culture right. We're gonna establish who we 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.200 are first, and then now with the guys that I have, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.120 and then the guys that go pick up. Now, I'm 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.960 finna show them how you can win doing this, what 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.200 we're doing, what we're gonna teach. 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.760 That's why I loved Coach Gibbs so much. We we 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.880 had idea, we're gonna leave you black and blue. You 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:29.640 knew offensively list we got a safety that's two hundred 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.319 and thirty five pound, come and die here. 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:33.120 Six three. 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.920 We got a full back that's sixty five, three hundred pounds. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.559 We come and die here. We ain't playing with you now. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.080 We might not win the game, but like coach saying, 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.520 you walked in here, you're gonna limp out, And that 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.880 was the idea. And the fans knew what you're gonna 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.600 get from us. You knew what you were gonna get 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:50.480 from us every time. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.080 Yeah, And I think it's really cool because you look 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.760 at like what they did with the San Francisco Fortiuders, 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.120 Adam Peters did with the Serrancisco ordin unders and like 0:11:57.360 --> 0:12:00.240 when you turn on the film. They are a physical team, 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.240 wanting they run the football. They're explosive as all get 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.800 out and offensive and defensively, like they get after people. 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:10.440 I've heard stories about them going to joint practices and 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.880 people just be like, we did not realize how big 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:16.560 and strong you are as a team. And so for me, 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.360 like I say, like, that's part of the thing they're 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:21.040 looking for, right, And like you're talking about a culture 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:23.439 like that, it starts with that, right, getting the right 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.480 people in there. And so you know, like he was 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.920 talking about, like U Tennis mentioned Antenna, physical and explosive, 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.400 and when you play a team like that, like the 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.480 Baltimore Ravens come to mind for me, like when they 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.240 are rolling, you know, like the Philadelphia Eagles back in 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.000 the day when they had that really good defense, and 0:12:38.040 --> 0:12:40.720 you're like, man, like, there's something about that that just 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.719 makes it so like again, intimidating. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.760 Yes, And that's another thing he said, like you want 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.480 to be a nightmare for the opposing teams we lose 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:48.800 the job. 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:49.959 You want to be a nightmare. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.520 I watch us, and it's nothing against the guys we have, 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:54.520 Like I love every bit of the ones who went 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.320 out there and went to war and laid it on 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:56.920 the line. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.280 But at times I feel like most of our guys 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:00.240 was a nice guy. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:04.400 I'm a nice guy, but Taylor, truth, go ahead. 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.680 They got what they asked you, right, They said, we 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:08.959 want to change the culture, and they wait, were changing 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.560 the culture was go get everybody at the choir like 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.760 they went and got nice guys. And guess what, nice 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.400 guys don't win. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.200 You know, get it, but it's not a It's not 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:18.880 nothing wrong with being a nice guy. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.440 You just gotta know when to turn that damn switch 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.480 on and be that MF. You know what I'm saying. 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.200 And I felt like I was making that point because 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.679 I want to mention myself in it because I feel 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:30.679 like a lot of folks kind of give me that 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.479 tennis so cool and chill, but you know, between. 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.840 Them like lines, I'm I'm black out on you real quick. 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.200 I'm gonna be him. You hear me, and you don't 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.720 have to say it, just show you. And I didn't 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:42.960 see a lot of that and. 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.679 Play from our guys like you get Terry, nicest guy 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:50.360 on earth, Terry, he would turn it off. You turn 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:52.920 that switch on. Then you got some guys that's not nice. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:53.240 Guys. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.000 I don't want to get I don't want to be 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.400 in an alley with be robbed by myself. He gonna 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:03.240 bruise you, you know what I mean? John At like 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:05.640 you got certain guys that showed you that they ain't 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:06.280 none to mess with. 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.240 I didn't see that from my team as well. 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:08.680 It wasn't. 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.679 It wasn't I'm gonna lift you up, good job, no man, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.559 matter of fame, get your foot while you're down, you 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:15.080 know what I'm saying. 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.679 But I was gonna say to that point, like when 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.520 I got in the league in twenty ten, like we 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.880 were an older team. We were a very tough team, 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.320 and I felt like a lot of the young guys 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.120 adopted the culture of the older guys in the building, 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.520 you know, and so like it made it so like, Okay, 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.040 I see what. You couldn't take the you couldn't take 0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:32.800 the easy way out, Like we were gonna like this 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.560 is who we are, Like we're gonna hit, We're not 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:36.560 going to accommodate, Like if you're hurt, we're gonna play 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.080 Like that was some things that came out of it, 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.000 and I just think, like that's winning. Culture starts with 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:44.400 that right. And I think back to that twenty twelve team, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:47.440 and we weren't the most talented guys, but we were 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.080 guys that played very, very hard. 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:50.400 You know. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.240 I think about the I think about the offensive line, like, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:53.880 there's not a guy. Trent Williams was a guy, but 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.680 everyone else was kind of journeyman pieces. They came together. 0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.840 They just played hard. They finished guys right. 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:00.520 Each of the back. 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.000 Yeah, you had a great coach too, who made sure 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.880 that you know what I mean and such other back. 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:07.880 And you remember earlier this year when we were watching 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.800 a game and uh a Manuel Forbes going against a J. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.960 Brown and were just watching a quarter after quarter. I 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.680 remember a game against Chicago when coach Gil gave me 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.680 the MVP for nothing. I asked, coach, why are you 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.640 give me the m v P? He said, you know what, 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.200 You went in there with a full body cramp and 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:27.840 couldn't walk. They put two IV's in you. You lied 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.960 to the train of snuck back out there because you 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:31.640 saw them picking on Johnny. 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:32.000 You back. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:34.640 You ain't trying to get back in the game for yourself. 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.160 You trying to save your team. And I was like, yeah, 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:38.840
