00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 3: friends gave me.

37
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: I used to have a ball head and they used

38
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 4: to just call me little Bill and it just kind

39
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,520

00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 4: me a little Bill, right.

41
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: So when you told me that story in the moment,

42
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, that's a family nickname. I'm gonna call

43
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: hi Jakoy and somebody else calls him. And then a

44
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, Adam Chefter puts out a tweet

45
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: and says, yo, he only wants to be called Bill.

46
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,679

Speaker 1: And you look at something like that, and that's got

65
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: to be one of those moments where you're like, oh.

00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 2: Man, I'm here.

67

68
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: of ears on me. A guy like Adam Scheff to

Speaker 1: like every single thing I say is under the microscope?

72
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, for sure, man, I mean like this is

73
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 4: something I dreamed of, like just just wanted the world

74
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 4: to see my talents in.

75
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: I feel like we're just getting started. Just that's it's

76
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: on the beginning.

77
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: It's only the beginning, and the beginning starts with that

78
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: first NFL game, your first time putting those cleats on

79
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: the regular season NFL field.

80
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: Man, First things first, But how was that?

81
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 1: Man?

82
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 4: It was crazy, like just the atmosphere, like the crowd,

83
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 4: just being in the NFL game like a real win,

84
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 4: and like, I mean it was it was fun too,

85
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: Like I'm looking forward to Thursday y'all already, Like it's

86
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 4: just like this something I dreamed of my whole life.

87
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Did anything surprise you about that first moment on that field?

88
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: I would say, I mean, it was football at the

89
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 4: end of the day, but I mean guys were like

90
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 4: more faster and you know stuff, so like it still

91
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 4: took time for me to like just get used to

92
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 4: the game as it went on. But I had I

93
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: had like my teammates. That was my teammates and coaches.

94
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: They were there to calm me down, make Sean relax

95
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 4: and just just go out there and play my game.

96
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: Brou you looked relaxed and laid your game, and I'm

97
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: watching a game you didn't get your first carry to

98
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: I think like thirteen minutes in the second.

99
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: Quarter, like third position, Bruh.

100
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: What was that like waiting for that moment because I'm

101
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: sure the game plan they tell you know, hey, we're

102
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna lean on Echo a little bit, We're gonna give

103
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: you some Sean. Not only did they give you a

104
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: little bit of Shane, but I think you did so

105
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: good but they had no choice but to keep you

106
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: on the field.

107
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, I trust coach LN Like I ain't

108
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 4: questioning it, not one big. I kind of knew, like

109
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get in, but I don't know when I'm

110
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 4: gonna get in, Like that was that was my mindset.

111
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, I trust him.

112
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 4: He probably wanted me to see how the game going

113
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 4: instead of just like just throwing me in there, because

114
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: it is it's like it's different from college, like you

115
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 4: just so, I mean I trusted his plan, Like I

116
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 4: definitely like how he did that just to let me

117
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: see how the game is slowing and stuff. And like

118
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: once I got out there, it was it was, it

119
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 4: was it was straight downhill from there.

120
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: Man. That anticipation has to be wild because I'm like

121
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: most rookies where you had to set out a whole

122
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: season last year, so you've had to been chomping at

123
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: the bid to get out on that field and show

124
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: what you can do. Get that first carry? Man, what's

125
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: going through your mind? Do you even remember what was

126
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:45,239
Speaker 1: happening in that moment?

127
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 4: I definitely remember first carry. I got one yard. I'm like, okay, okay.

128
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 4: I mean I was like, did I in the back

129
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: of my head, like did I make the right read?

130
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: And I was like, no, I'm not gonna think. I'm

131
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: not gonna thank you too much. I'm just gonna go

132
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 4: to the nest play. Once I kind of got once,

133
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 4: it kind of slowed down for me, down like okay, okay,

134
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: just just be free and playing like whatever you need

135
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 4: to fish you can, you can fix it on the

136
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: sideline or like whenever you whenever y'all watch.

137
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: Field the next day. So I just I just go

138
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: out there and play free.

139
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: From now, I feel like every time you touch the rock,

140
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: it was like you was getting closer and closer to

141
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: that super saying mode where you just kept leveling up,

142
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: kept leveling up. Was there a part of the game

143
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: where you were just like, Okay, I don't even got

144
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: to think about this no more. I'm just having a

145
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: blast because I'm out here dominating.

146
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll just say it was.

147
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 4: It was after the first carre like I just I

148
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: just let everything go, like I said, Like.

149
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 3: I was like, dang, then I make the right read,

150
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: like I f like that'll slow you down.

151
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 4: I mean I got one yard, like I want at

152
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: least three or four yards. I like, is that the

153
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 4: right read? But I was like, man, I'm just gonna

154
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 4: just go ouhead and do me.

155
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: B you talked about making that right read. When you

156
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: look at that touchdown play, my boy gets the ball

157
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: just a little you know what I'm saying, get to

158
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: the fender off you and then you run wide open

159
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: into the end on man, a moment you've probably dreamed

160
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: of your entire life. Man, how was that first touchdown

161
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: for Bill?

162
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 3: It was definitely it was good shout out to my

163
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: old linement.

164
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 4: But once I once I got there, once I got

165
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: the ball, and it seem like I can I can

166
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 4: kind of set the defenders up because we got two poolas,

167
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: two pullas coming around. So I want to like just

168
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: give them a hesit and then just go outside because

169
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 4: I know they probably slam down and it it just

170
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 4: opened up. So it just we work on that practice,

171
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: just sending up your blocks and like I mean, it

172
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 4: just it just happened.

173
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: Happened naturally.

174
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: You talk about the pool, So let's get some love

175
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: to your officive line because you have Brandon Coleman and

176
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: Larry Me Tumpsel pulling on that outside to monster, somebody

177
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: that possibly has a Hall of Fame career, and somebody

178
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: that's in the second year working towards that. Man, when

179
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: you look at this offensive line and the size of

180
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: the athleticism of versatility, how optimistic and confident does it

181
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: make you as a runner?

182
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: I love them, They love they love doing their job. Man.

183
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 4: That just it's just like, I mean, they'll they'll do

184
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 4: whatever for us. And like we were brothers, so we

185
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: don't want to let each other down. Like we got

186
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: this saying like not my man, Like not my man

187
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: is gonna make this tackle or whatever, and like that's

188
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: something that's something we go by and like we just

189
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 4: we just got full full confidence in each other because

190
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: we know what, like the end goal lives of the season.

191
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: Was that Selly premeditated, Like had you been thinking about it,

192
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: like yo, when I get my first touchdown, I'm doing

193
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: this celebration or was it just in the moment.

194
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I knew I was gonna

195
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: do that.

196
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 5: Yo.

199
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 4: it's kind of hard because.

200
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: I usually don't celebrate.

201
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: But like my friends they were like, man, you gotta

202
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: do something in the end zone, Like you just can't

242
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: a guy like Austin, with somebody who has had such

243
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: longevity in the league that is not made for running

244

00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: always good to kick it with you. Man, It's crazy

350
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: to think we are just days away from our third

351
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: season doing Game Day Live together, post game line together.

352
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: Boy, we've been having so fun.

353
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,119
Speaker 1: How cool is it to be back at Northwest?

354
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 6: It's very very cool, you know, to be back and

355
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 6: having a team like we have, having you know, Jayden

356
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 6: going into his second year and watching all the other

357
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 6: young guys who come along and the older guys to

358
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: join this team with the same mindset. You know, for me,

359
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: when I can see guys believing in themselves and each other,

360
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 6: it makes me feel good because you win like that.

361
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 6: You know, when coaches can say something that people buy

362
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 6: into it. When coach can say something and the other

363
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 6: players are going to go out there and begin to

364
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 6: preach that, it makes a world of difference.

365
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: And b you've been around for a while now, man,

366
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: you played on that field, now you've been covering the team.

367
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: Do you ever not have that moment where it's special

368
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: to you when you get to Northwest City. When you

369
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: see those commanders on that field, Yes you want a

370
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: command aby. However, you play for Washington, you rock that

371
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: brandy and gold.

372
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: Does that ever stop?

373
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Because I know when I'm watching you and I feel

374
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: like I'm looking.

375
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: At a kid in the candy store.

376
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 6: Well, it's the thing about it is, I have two

377
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 6: things I live with. Somebody told me that football is

378
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 6: a sport that you play as a kid. Never lose

379
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 6: that exuberance, and then pay label said when you stop

380
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 6: being excited about something, which means you don't get the butterflies,

381
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 6: and it's not important. I get butterflies for every show. I

382
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 6: get butterflies before these guys play games. When I go

383
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 6: out there and I'm watching them play the game and

384
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 6: I see a guy like Jaden running around smiling, having

385
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 6: fun like he's a little kid, that makes me feel

386
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: good because in my fourteenth year, I had young guys

387
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: telling me, man, you're always smiling and joking. Why don't

388
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 6: you take this series? And I'm like, fool, I take

389
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 6: a serious all off season so I can have fun

390
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 6: during the season. I say, maybe you should try my way,

391
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 6: because this is my It was my leventh year when

392
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 6: I say that to the guy, and I say, I'll

393
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 6: probably play more years than you from this point on.

394
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 5: I played four more. He played five total. You know

395
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 5: what I mean.

396
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 6: It's just like you have to find a way. And

397
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 6: this thing is it's a profession, but it's a game.

398
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 6: It's a child's game. And the way that you do

399
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: the professional side as a player, your body is your tool.

400
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 6: You have to take your body through the riggers in

401
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 6: the off season. So when the season comes, it's nice

402
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 6: camera baby, it's ready to shut you know, it's ready

403
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 6: to go out there and put on the show. And

404
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 6: that's how I felt about it. And I think when

405
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 6: I see guys Jaden and Mikey, you know, and still

406
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 6: see Bobby how he goes at it in New Year fifteen,

407
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 6: it gets me excited and be this.

408
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: Nobody better to talk about that longevity with, especially you

409
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: being around this area for so long. And then this offseason,

410
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: let's go back a little bit because we want to

411
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: talk about game day a little more this off season.

412
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn said, Hey, man, I need you to pull

413
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: up to practice. I need you to rap these guys.

414
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: He needs to give them some game.

415
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 5: Man.

416
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: How important was that for you to be able to

417
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: give back in that way because as long as you've

418
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: been around, it's been a while since you got to

419
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: do something like that.

420
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 6: Well, nobody asked me to come when then asked me

421
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 6: that that was Hey, that put that gave me have

422
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 6: we choked up?

423
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: Wow?

424
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 6: Because you know, it's like I think the thing about

425
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 6: it is when you play and then you're gone. I

426
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 6: think the next regimes that come in, they it seemed

427
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 6: like they feel like you're like not a part of them.

428
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 6: And what I thought it was before that ownership, before

429
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 6: they were competing with what we did, you know, with

430
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 6: Jack kN Cook and John kin Cook and Joe Gibbs

431
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 6: and all of it and all that we had won

432
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 6: championships and then they were competing against that. So but

433
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: when Josh rolled in, Josh is coming from a point

434
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 6: of he was a fan, you know, and a lot

435
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,239
Speaker 6: of guys on that team, you know, Ian and all

436
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 6: the or fans, and they grew up watching that team

437
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 6: be successful.

438
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 5: So they're part of that.

439
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 6: They didn't come in like thinking we were against them

440
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 6: or they were against us. They wanted to bring that

441
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 6: back because when you look, man, when you got past,

442
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 6: present and future all together, that's how you build legacies,

443
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 6: and they wanted to continue doing that. So when Dan

444
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 6: asked me that, I was like, COO, hell yeah, of course,

445
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 6: you know, because I feel I have something I can

446
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 6: give to a young guy, you know. And then I

447
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 6: talk with Jalen, and Jalen hit me and asked me

448
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 6: questions and stuff, and I said, I'm gonna check it out.

449
00:17:59,160 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 5: I'll let you know.

450
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 6: So my thing is, if I can help anybody get

451
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 6: to the point where I got, are even close, I'm

452
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 6: gonna do that. You know, because Ernest Byner did it

453
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 6: for me, you know, Mike Nailms did it for me.

454
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 6: So when you get that and I did it with

455
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 6: James Drash and all those guys, you want to just

456
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 6: keep reach out to the olive branch and pull him up,

457
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 6: pull him up, and that's that's what you have to do.

458
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: And pull back the court curtain for us because all

459
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: of us know DQ, me and you. We see him

460
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 1: all the time, we get to work with him, but

461
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: the fans don't ever get to really see him. They

462
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: get to hear from un the pressure count. We had

463
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: to see him during the game. Pull that curtain back

464
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 1: a little bit and let us know what that conversation

465
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: was like, how did DQ ask you to come and

466
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: pull up? Well, he hit me.

467
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 6: We were doing the show and during training can one day,

468
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 6: I was one of the many counters. We were in

469
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 6: that little tent and he had done any interview with us,

470
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: and he said, hey, man, would you come talk to

471
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 6: the players. I really want you to talk to him.

472
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, I'll be thrilled too. And then he

473
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 6: got my number from Jay Penny called me and said, hey,

474
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 6: you remember we talked.

475
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 5: I said, I've been waiting on you to call me,

476
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 5: you know.

477
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,439
Speaker 6: And then when we decided to do it and I

478
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 6: went out, I went sat in the meat I talked

479
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 6: to the guys in the meeting room, and then later

480
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 6: on he asked me to come out on the field

481
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 6: with him. When I was out on the field, I

482
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 6: was standing to the sideline just being away. He's like, hey,

483
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 6: we didn't actually to come out here and stand on

484
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 6: the side, like get on that dad, peel, go earn

485
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: your keep.

486
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 5: I was like, coach, you're not paying me, so, you know,

487
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: But it was.

488
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 6: Fun just to go out there and and like when

489
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 6: I started talking with Jalen, he was like, yeah, man,

490
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 6: he said, my dad when I told him I had

491
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 6: talked to you, He's like, yo, man, y'all know Devin Hester.

492
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 5: That dude was Devin Hester before Devin Hester.

493
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 6: So I guess that made him understand who I was

494
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 6: and just knock it off. But like when I talked

495
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 6: to him, I see, Jalen is the quietest dude. Dude

496
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 6: got talent like hell no.

497
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: Dog and he got fire on that shoe.

498
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: He does bro. He has a lot of talent.

499
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 6: So it's just it makes you I think, just like

500
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 6: Gary Clark even says that it's like although.

501
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 5: You're not here, you still feel like you're a part

502
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 5: of it.

503
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 6: And I think Dan has found ways to make us

504
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 6: really feel like we're a part of it.

505
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: Be until this moment, I did not know that that

506
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: was your first time being asked to do.

507
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: Something like that. That is wild to me.

508
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: Somebody that's accomplished all of you've accomplished getting to do that.

509
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: So you have this first moment years later, probably soly

510
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: you never were expecting. What did you want to convey

511
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: to the guys when you're out on that field with them?

512
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 6: Well, first thing I talked to guys about is making

513
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,239
Speaker 6: sure you have you do everything you can to make

514
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 6: sure you stay around.

515
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 5: You know.

516
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 6: When I was talking to him, I used Austin as

517
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 6: an example. Austin Eckler wasn't highly drafted. They came as

518
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 6: a free agent. Austin Eckler played and became a name

519
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 6: in this league because of hard work. Austin Neckler is

520
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 6: now here, still a name because of hard work. Austin

521
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 6: is not the biggest guy, but he's strong as hell.

522
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 6: He puts the work in. And I was making sure

523
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 6: guys understood, like I didn't return kicking punksy I got here.

524
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 6: So it's about putting in the work, taking care of yourself. Look, man,

525
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 6: so a lot of it's gonna be a lot of

526
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 6: people come to you with a lot of crap. Be careful,

527
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 6: you know, have fun while this thing is going on.

528
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 6: Like Manti Coleman told me, Man, let's go win a

529
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 6: super Bowl. Do everything you can, and then you could

530
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 6: do whatever you want to do when your career is over.

531
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 6: You know, like people always say, do you get a

532
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 6: chance to revel and experience the things you've done. I'll

533
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 6: do it when I'm finished, because while you're doing it,

534
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 6: you don't really think about it, you know. And I've

535
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 6: had guys asking, man, when you were playing that you

536
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 6: know all this stuff. No, when I left Washington, I

537
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 6: didn't know where I plan where I was set when

538
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 6: it comes to the amount of yours in the team.

539
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 6: On the team I got to Philly, they told me

540
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 6: where I was it wants to and then started letting

541
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 6: me know where I was in the league. I never

542
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 6: thought about that crap. I was trying to be the

543
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 6: best wa God could be today.

544
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:00,239
Speaker 1: You know.

545
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 6: So I read this book. I mean I got released

546
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 6: from Washington and someone gave me the book, this book

547
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 6: called Who Moved My Cheese? And I read that book

548
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 6: and I read it so quick. I was like, can't

549
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 6: be this easy. So I read it again and it

550
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 6: talked about you know, who moved your cheese? So your

551
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: cheese could be your career, it could be your job,

552
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,239
Speaker 6: it could be a car, whatever you're doing. And so

553
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 6: my cheese had moved to Philly. Then I got another

554
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 6: book called The Present. So and I use I conveyed

555
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 6: this and every message I tell.

556
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 5: O the people. You have to be present in what

557
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 5: you're doing.

558
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: You know.

559
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 6: The book has a gift on it, but it talked

560
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 6: about the present and when you look at it. You

561
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 6: think it's talking about an actual gift, but no, it's

562
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 6: talking about the present. So whatever you've been through, you

563
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 6: learn from it and you put everything into what you

564
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 6: can do today. So maybe if it was something bad,

565
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 6: you don't have to experience that later. So if I'm

566
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: not worrying about yesterday, not worry about tomorrow, and I

567
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 6: do everything I'm capable of doing right now, I'm gonna

568
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 6: have a great future. And I try to make sure

569
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 6: guys understand that, because, like you know, you get drafted,

570
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 6: first thing you think is, man, I can start making

571
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 6: this money. I do this, I do, But you're not

572
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: even taking care of right now. And if you take

573
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 6: care of right now, it'll work out for you. But

574
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 6: if you keep thinking about what you're going to do,

575
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 6: you got problems because you'll never get there.

576
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: And b that's got to take some time to grasp.

577
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: Right said you had to read a book twice, but

578
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 1: going through it in that moment it me And You've

579
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: talked about this a lot off air. I don't think

580
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: people understand because you still found success in Philly and

581
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: after the fact, how tough that really was for you

582
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: to be here a place that you love so much.

583
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 1: And have to go somewhere that you didn't necessarily plan

584
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: on going to. Man, take us back to that moment,

585
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: because I think young people that are listening to this,

586
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: like you said, people's sheese gonna get moved all the

587
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: time and totally in that moment, young Brian Mitchell, Man,

588
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: how did you navigate that outside of the books, outside

589
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,400
Speaker 1: of the London because at the end of the day,

590
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: it's still a human being.

591
00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I am.

592
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 6: But you know what though, I grew up with a

593
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 6: military dad and you and I had that conversation. My

594
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 6: dad always said, control what you can control. And when

595
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 6: I got released, I was hurt. I'm serious, dude, I

596
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 6: was down. But the people in my support system was like, look, man,

597
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 6: you could do it somewhere else, you know, And all they.

598
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 5: Had to do what would your dad tell you?

599
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 6: And once I hear that's it, I knew get to

600
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: work and I remember going to visit different teams and

601
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 6: David Cully, he was a receiver coach in Philly.

602
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 5: He was my actual quarterback coach in college. He coached me.

603
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: He recruited me out of high school, knowing me since

604
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 6: I was fifteen sixteen years old, and he was like, man,

605
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 6: these people want you up here.

606
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 5: I say, you know me, coach, is it a good

607
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: place for me? He say yes.

608
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: I say no more questions asked, And I went there

609
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 6: with the same mindset that I attacked football when I

610
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 6: was here. I came into Washington. They say, the only

611
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,199
Speaker 6: way you're gonna make teams being a return guy. I

612
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 6: never returned in my life. I didn't return in Lily.

613
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 6: I didn't return in junior high high school. First time

614
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 6: I touched it, I went to the house, you know,

615
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 6: and it's just God put me in positions where it

616
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 6: was something I hadn't done that. It was a little difficult,

617
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 6: but I've had success early to where I guess he knew.

618
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 6: Once I have success, I'm putting everything into it.

619
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: You know.

620
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 6: I told people, I think at my hometown, I said,

621
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 6: I'll come home to visit, but I'm not coming home

622
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 6: because I'm gonna lose a job. And I had a

623
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 6: lot of haters.

624
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: You know.

625
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 6: Oh man, they're gonna release you. You're gonna get cut now.

626
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 6: I have to go home because I didn't have anything anymore.

627
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 6: I go home to visit, you know, and I make

628
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 6: sure they understand I wear my ring. You know, I

629
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 6: don't know, and I'm gonna be honest with you. I

630
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 6: have my ring all my you do.

631
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

632
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 6: And the people that were those haters in my life,

633
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 6: when they asked to see it, I.

634
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 5: Show it to them.

635
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 6: Then one fingures a one. But it's just listen, bro.

636
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 6: All they did was they energized me.

637
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Man, and motivation.

638
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, man.

639
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,959
Speaker 1: And when you look back at all that and all

640
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: those things you've been through, the heartbreak that was leaving well,

641
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 1: you decided to come back, right. You decided when it

642
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: was all over that this is your it's your home

643
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: away from home.

644
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: Really, man, your kids, My house didn't go over.

645
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 2: A beautiful What made that decision right?

646
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: Because again, you could have been salty and said, yo,

647
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: forget this place, but you chose to say why was that?

648
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,199
Speaker 6: Why be salty when it was an individual that was

649
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 6: no longer around And it's a small part of this area.

650
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 6: The fans loved me and still do today. Even when

651
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 6: I was in Philly. You know, I would come back

652
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 6: and you get a idiot is gonna boo you in

653
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 6: the crowd, and I came back and play. But for

654
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 6: the most part of their seventy eight ninety dollars. Well

655
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 6: they had, I guarantee you ninety five percent.

656
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 5: Was cheering yes. And when I would come home in

657
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 5: the off.

658
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 6: Season, it made me feel good because this is a

659
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: place where I cut my teeth. This is a place

660
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 6: where I became a man. This is a place where

661
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 6: I grew, I built the family. I mean, yeah, I'm

662
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 6: gonna go over here and play with Phil because I

663
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 6: can still play and they want me. So that's combination.

664
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 6: I can still play and you want me. I'm gonna

665
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 6: go play for you, but I'm not gonna change what

666
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 6: I truly.

667
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 5: Truly love.

668
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 6: But I can tell you this them three years there,

669
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 6: you might think I played ten years there because they

670
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 6: know I came in and gave what I had because

671
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 6: what I learned about that town. If you come in

672
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 6: with a certain expectation and you could live up to it,

673
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 6: they gonna love you no matter what. If you don't

674
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,160
Speaker 6: live up to it, they will tell you in your face.

675
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: You know.

676
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: So.

677
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 6: So I've gone up there with some friends and now

678
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 6: I'm not up there with you, and they're liked, why

679
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 6: don't you live here?

680
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 5: I'm like, he loved you, love DC.

681
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: You know, that's where I became that young man that

682
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 6: got my name, you know, got my chance, and I

683
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 6: owe that they're a gratitude to this place more than

684
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 6: anywhere else.

685
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: That's one thing I wonder when I walk around with

686
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: you in Tanna, because we go to all of these

687
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: different places, all these different arenas, if fans really truly

688
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: understand that y'all could have been anywhere that y'all could

689
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 1: have chose to put y'all roots anywhere, y'all could have worked.

690
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 2: For any team y'all had loved everywhere you go.

691
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: Tanne walk in Dallas and you would have thought he

692
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: played the Cowboys. It wasn't a cowboy killer. So it's

693
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: just great to know that you guys came back here

694
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: because of how much you guys loved this fan base

695
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: and love what you guys did for this city. You

696
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: look like a guy like Jaalen Lannon And I don't

697
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: know if Commander fans know this, but it wasn't just

698
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: you going to practice rapping with him. He reached out

699
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: to you directly. He went and found your number. When

700
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: guys take the time to do that. Even though he

701
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: never saw you play. He wasn't born when you were playing,

702
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: but he recognized.

703
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 5: He just called me.

704
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: Because again, I'm all older than Jalen too, so we're

705
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: all there.

706
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: But to get that recognition from a guy that truly

707
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: wasn't around during your heyday, but they know you did

708
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: something special? Man, how important is that? And what does

709
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: that say about the players that do that?

710
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 5: Well?

711
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 6: You know, I think in Jaen's In Jalen's case, it

712
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 6: shows how parents.

713
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 5: Make sure people understand what somebody is and what they were.

714
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 6: And I think that comment is because his dad is

715
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 6: a coach and his dad mentioned things. So you know,

716
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 6: most guys that play football things of that nature, they

717
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 6: close with their pops. And if like my dad made

718
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 6: sure I knew about the boxers, he was a boxer

719
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 6: and stuff taught meself from his era, so I wanted

720
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 6: to learn about it because I respect my pops and

721
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 6: I think that's what his dad did. And but the

722
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: thing of it is just for a young person to

723
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 6: make the move to reach out to you. It's totally

724
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 6: different than this day and age. And you know what,

725
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,959
Speaker 6: he didn't text me. He called and he left a

726
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 6: message and I called him back.

727
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 5: You know, that is an adult thing to do.

728
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 6: That's the older person thing kids that day text you, Yeah,

729
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: you know, it's so impersonal. But he called and I

730
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 6: called him back, and now we still communicate through all

731
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 6: types of aspects, and I think that's the best thing,

732
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 6: you know, because but the thing of it is when

733
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 6: I've said something or whatever, he follows up, I follow up.

734
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 6: And all you need to understand, I think for any

735
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 6: young kid out there that may see this, if someone

736
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 6: tells you reach out to me or give you a

737
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: card and they call me, do it. They're not doing

738
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 6: it just to do it. And that person, if that

739
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 6: person has information that could make you better and you

740
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 6: don't do it, you making a mistake.

741
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: And b that's something I think me and you've always

742
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: connected on because we're raised very very similar. Pops helped

743
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: guide us and it's been dope at least for me

744
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: being able to be like your little brother right watching

745
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: you put your arm around so many people, and one

746
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: of those people is our co host on Game Day Live,

747
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: Santana Moss. So truly, I don't know if people truly

748
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: understand how close y'all are that that's like a real brotherhood.

749
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: He looks up to you, You admire him and what

750
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: he was able to do this past Sunday Man you

751
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: got a very special chance to honor that brother and

752
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: be a part of him. Joining the Ring of Fame

753
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: something you were able to do. Now. I know you've

754
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: seen a ton of people go into that Ring of Fame,

755
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: but it felt like this one.

756
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 2: Watching Tanner get in felt a little different.

757
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 6: It felt more special to me because when Tanner was

758
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 6: in New York I was a fan of his. I

759
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 6: just watched how he proached the game. Then he came

760
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 6: here in DC, all he did was ball, ball ball.

761
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: And then when we sit and we talked with him,

762
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 6: he talks about his career.

763
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 5: Like it was just a regular career he does, you know,

764
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 5: But I'm like, d like that, you know what I mean.

765
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 6: And the thing about it is, you want those people

766
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 6: to get their flowers, man. And like Andre Johnson when

767
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 6: he was on the show with us, Andre was the

768
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 6: same way.

769
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 4: Man.

770
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 6: It's like Andre and ten I grew up in the

771
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 6: same area. They know the struggles, they know what people

772
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 6: went through to get to get somewhere. And like I

773
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 6: always said, ten, I said, dog, you played ten years,

774
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: I played ten years here. You know, we had that

775
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 6: connection of being returned guys. And then when you watch

776
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 6: his love for this community the same way. My love

777
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 6: for this community is you know you respect that, and

778
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 6: I'm gonna be honest with you.

779
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 5: You know. I was told ten I was.

780
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 6: Trying to get tears out of him when his dad

781
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 6: shook my hand and embrace me and say, bro, he

782
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 6: looks up to you.

783
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 5: Bruh.

784
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 6: I got choked up because it tells you he spoke

00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,000

Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, because I'm right with you and it's like

815
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: gumbo travel.

816
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 6: So I had said some guba home. He went home

Speaker 6: eat shrimp. Well it's people like I eat shrimp. So

819
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 6: I made some gumbo for for him before he's like.

820
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 6: I was like, you know what he should have told me?

821
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 6: She said, well, you can make something real soonie if

822
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 6: you want to. So it's just all of those little things.

823
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 6: It shows you that it's it's like a family thing,

824
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 6: you know, and we become like that sotand you understand your.

825
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: True family, Man, breaking bread, having conversations, learning from each other. Man,

826
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: It's been great and we're gonna hit the road for

827
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: the first time this year. Man, third season, we get

828
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: to do this where we're going to be in Green Bay. Man,

829
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: being in this seat right, like you've been radio for years. However,

830
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: doing what we do here for the team, right, actually

831
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: working for two We talked about it's a little different. Man.

832
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: How special is it for you to be able to

833
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: work for the team in this capacity, do these game

834
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: day and postgame shows.

835
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 6: It It was good to me because, like I said,

836
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 6: I'm a big fan. Yes, I played for the team.

837
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 6: I'm a fan of it and I want to see

838
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,880
Speaker 6: their success. And if I could be the person shouting

839
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 6: to the rooftop talking about how good they are, I

840
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 6: would be that as well. But it is different than

841
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 6: doing just the regular radio. But I also understand that

842
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 6: I'm truthful about stuff, you know, and the thing of

843
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 6: it is people say, well, I remember, people always say, well,

844
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 6: bebit true to everything you want to say. I said, no,

845
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 6: I don't, you don't. I never said everything I wanted

846
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 6: to say, even on the radio in the TV because

847
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 6: I wouldn't have a job. Okay, But the thing of

848
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 6: it is, if you ask me a question about what

849
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 6: I think, I'm gonna tell you about what I think

850
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 6: if I see something, because I'm not a person in

851
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 6: doing this that want to be attacking people individual personally.

852
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 6: I'm here to talk about the football aspect of what

853
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 6: goes on. And I could tell you a guy had

854
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 6: a subpar game without being personal, you know what I mean.

855
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 6: Some people want to like talk about the size or No,

856
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,879
Speaker 6: I don't care about all that. He didn't play very

857
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 6: very well this week, you know, but he will play

858
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 6: better because you know that once you start to know

859
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 6: a person, you know to work at the go of

860
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 6: a person. I remember when Tanner was playing with Tanna

861
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 6: had a game one day. I forgot what exactly happened,

862
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 6: and they were like, what do you think about it?

863
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 6: I say, well, it's not what I'm accustomed to seeing,

864
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 6: and I'm sure he'll get it corrected.

865
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

866
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 6: You you you don't have to sit up here and

867
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 6: pile on today media and anything like this content has become.

868
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 6: Let's just pile up on the negative. Why you know,

869
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 6: I know the person, so I'm gonna get that person

870
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 6: to respect and the benefit of the doubt, you know,

871
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 6: And I think watching this team, I do the same thing.

872
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 6: You know, I have to give the benefit of the doubt.

873
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: But the thing about it, lately, they've been giving us

874
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 6: a lot to talk about, a lot of positive things

875
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 6: to talk about, and you see that growth, and you

876
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 6: want to be a part of that, you know, and

877
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 6: you want to make sure people.

878
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 5: Understand when they do something great. Look at this. If

879
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 5: one guy have a bad team a bad game, the

880
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 5: whole team.

881
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 6: Man have a bad game, and you got to be

882
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 6: able to address that but also show this, you know

883
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 6: what I mean. And I don't think a lot of

884
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 6: people understand that because but as you go through life,

885
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 6: you'll realize people are always telling you what you should

886
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 6: say because they don't have the opportunity to say anything.

887
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: And that's for a reason because if.

888
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 6: They were in your position, they probably wouldn't know what

889
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 6: to say in this position, and they damn sure wouldn't

890
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 6: say everything that they want.

891
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: To say exactly. And you really don't know until you know.

892
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: And again I don't think even people understand like the

893
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: position you're in, Like you come in and you on

894
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: a tanna, you leave in a family funeral, right you

895
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: come right in that morning, man.

896
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 6: And I think that people should understand that my oldest

897
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 6: sister had passed away at Sunday and my nieces they

898
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 6: were like, they didn't want this stuff to fester, so

899
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 6: they were like, well, we're gonna do the funeral Saturday.

900
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 5: I'm like, wow, that's quick.

901
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 6: But I'm thinking, like Ryanan asked me, would I do

902
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 6: to then? Once I make a commitment, I stick to

903
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 6: my family for sure, for sure. So I left Friday morning,

904
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 6: went to a Hall of Fame deal, then I went

905
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 6: to my sister's funeral, drove back to New Orleans. He

906
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,479
Speaker 6: got on a five forty five flight. Well, we didn't

907
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 6: get home to get the new aunt til two o'clock.

908
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 6: Went to sleep on three, got on the fire fighter

909
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 6: flight to make sure I could be back here because

910
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 6: I wanted to be here for that.

911
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 5: You did, you know?

912
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 6: And my family will tell you the same thing like

913
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 6: I told my my niece and my sister said, you

914
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 6: know what I had this event. They were like, what

915
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 6: would your sister want you to do? And they say,

916
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 6: if if you care about somebody like that, she would

917
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 6: want you to go back. And I could take this

918
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 6: back to nineteen ninety my brother was killed while I

919
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 6: was in training camp, and I went home to the

920
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,839
Speaker 6: wake and the funeral was the next day. We had

921
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 6: a game. My mom said, your brother would wants you

922
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 6: to be playing that game tomorrow. I flew back and

923
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 6: played that game. So my family raised me as I

924
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 6: said earlier, take care of what you can take care of,

925
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 6: and that's what I've always done.
