1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: That run last year the postseason that was just so

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: special and so fun. And then this year obviously a

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: disappointing season in terms of our record and things like that,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: but we just had this tight knit group in the

5
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Special Team's room. And so that's why I was so

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: meaningful getting named to go to the Pro Bowl, and

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: I just told those guys I found a point. Took

8
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: the guys all out to dinner a couple of nights ago.

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: I found that I wanted to talk to each of

10
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: them one on one. I'm just like, guys, I hope

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: you know.

12
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: Like I know, I don't go without y'all.

13
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: Like I haven't snapped the ball, haven't blocked a person,

14
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: haven't made a tackle like.

15
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: You got you guys are just the best.

16
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: And so I just it's very important to me that

17
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: those guys know I appreciate them.

18
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 2: And so it's been two special years and two different ways.

19

Speaker 5: I know.

36
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: So there was I don't know how many people would

37
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: actually remember that, but the COVID season of twenty twenty, uh,

38
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: we didn't get to see the fans. The fans weren't

39
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: at the games. Everything like that. And good buddy on

40
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: my team, our long snapper at the time, Nick Sumburg,

41
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: We're walking out to practice and he just kind of

42
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: tests me and goes, hey, they're filming us walking out

43
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: to practice.

44
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: You know, they just kind of had the phone like and.

45
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: As you could say something to the fans whatever, And

46
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: so the camera's on my left, the phones on my left,

47
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: and Nick kind of tasted me in points and I

48
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: just point right to the camera. And then the next

49
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: day practice they were there just pointing out the camera

50
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: and just kept going. And like at the Green Bay game,

51
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: my younger brother came to the game this year in

52
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay and uh, they're on the field pregame and all,

53
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: like we had a bunch of fans there for the

54
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay game.

55
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: They're like, dress, dress, give us the point.

56
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: And then I look at I look at my little brother.

57
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: I go cold watch this. I just turned and I

58
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: just point up.

59
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: To the fans and they erupt it. And my little

60
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: brother was like, what is going on? Or so yeah,

61
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: it's just kind of turned into my thing.

62
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: So it's yeah, that's.

63
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: What the kids call over. I think that's what they call.

64
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: Oh right, man, now you go be you gonna be

65
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: pointing for the rest of your life. Oh that's locked in, man.

66
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: No doubt it's it is locked in. So yeah, now

67
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: it's just you.

68
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: I'll see people out in about that they're not even

69
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: with the team, they just have a camera out and

70
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: I'm just I just as soon as I see the camera,

71
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm pointing.

72
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: Say you know it, man, when you've got least it's

73
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 3: an easy gesture to keep it right. Man, listen, you'll

74
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: be doing it for a long time. You told me

75
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 3: twelve years.

76
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: Twelve years in the Burgundy and Gold. Man, that is insane.

77
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 3: You've seen a lot in this building, man, a lot

78
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: of people coming and going. But I got a feel

79
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: in these last two years it's been a little different

80
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: for you.

81
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 4: Would you agree, Oh yeah, yeah, for sure.

82
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 5: I think.

83
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: You know, every every single season that goes by, I

84
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: just feel like there's I don't know, a new theme or

85
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, just you're at a different point in life.

86
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: You know, each year that it goes by, just the

87
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: amount the amount of gratitude I have people in this building, teammates, fans,

88
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like each year now as it's

89
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: gone on longer and longer, and there's just been more

90
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: and more stuff to be thankful for that last year,

91
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: that run, last year, the postseason that was just so

92
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: special and so fun. And then this year obviously a

93
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: disappointing season in terms of our record and things like that,

94
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: but we just had this tight knit group in the

95
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Special Team's room. And so that's why I was so

96
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: meaningful getting named the to go to the Pro Bowl,

97
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: and I just told those guys I found a point,

98
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: took the guys all out to dinner.

99
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 2: A couple of nights ago.

100
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: I found a point to talk to each of them

101
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: one on one. I'm just like, guys, I hope you know,

102
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: like I know, I don't go without y'all. Like I

103
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: haven't snapped the ball, haven't blocked a person, haven't made.

104
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: A tackle like you got. You guys are just the best.

105
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: And and so I just it's very important to me

106
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: that those guys know I appreciate them. And so it's

107
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 1: been two two special years in two different ways.

108
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: And it felt like it was very special for this

109
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: organization and your family loved ones to make that moment.

110
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 4: Special for you.

111
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: I was just watching it, like right when you walked up,

112
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: you walking in, seeing your family, this was a surprise

113
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: for you.

114
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: You didn't did you not expect to be a Pro Bowl?

115
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: No, So I knew. I knew I was in the mix.

116
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: And there's there's different ways that you can vote, there's

117
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: different statistics, but man, we were up there and usually

118
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: it's your net your net average gets you into the

119
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. And I was in second by zero point

120
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: one yards, and so I was like, I'm technically still.

121
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: In second, but I mean that that's pretty good.

122
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: And our inside had a lot of inside the twenties

123
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: and our inside the twenty percentage and the return yard,

124
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: and so there was a lot of things where I

125
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: just didn't let myself get too excited, but I just

126
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: knew I was in the mix. And so that that's

127
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: a that's such a such a huge credit to AP

128
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: and DQ and and how this organization is. My brother

129
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: in law, who plays for the Milwaukee Brewers, was in

130
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: town for Christmas and he was just saying, how cool

131
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: it is that like the team makes an event out

132
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: of it for you basically like invites the family in.

133
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: It's a surprise, like the whole thing. And he goes,

134
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: Man's that's really special, Like what a cool way to

135
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: find out.

136
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: And so that and those guys know me really well

137
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: by now that that couldn't have hit home any harder.

138
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: So, and it reminds me of a few years ago

139
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: when I'm watching Jeremy Reeveze found out he was gonna

140
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: be a Pro Bowl and you were involved in that

141
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 3: and there was so much emotion there and you see

142
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 3: Jeremy get emotional for you. Man, what is that relationship

143
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: like between you two? I feel like it's extremely special. Man.

144
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I this is the I mean not not you know,

145
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: not like over hyping what goes on in the field,

146
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: but there is just this this special level of stress

147
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: and a bond that takes place whenever you play, like

148
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: with a certain teammate and like your buddies and you

149
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: played for a number of years together, like whenever you're

150
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: out there on the field together, it is just it's

151
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: so intense. It's just this this performance and the stress

152
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: and the highs and the lows, and so like having

153
00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: somebody like Revo that like me, my wife, his fiance,

154
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 1: like we've all gotten so close. It's just he's just

155
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: such a great dude. And so that's like him being

156
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: in there. Was in there as well. Belore came in,

157
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, it was just, uh, that's fun that

158
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 1: that we both got to be a part of that

159
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: for each other.

160
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: So and it's been a bright spot to what you

161
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: admitted is it has been a rough season, but last

162
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 3: year when we're winning, it's funny because you know you

163
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: would already see me be mission Tanna standing outside and

164
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: behold always miss you be like you ain't done today, Tri.

165
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: I would the media came in after my second game

166
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: in a row of not punting. I was just icing

167
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: my hands, and the media came in there like what

168
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: are you doing? I was like, well, you know, we're

169
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: just holding for so many pots and field goals. I

170
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: don't punt, so I'm just you know, I'm just icing

171
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: my hands.

172
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 4: What was that like for you?

173
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: Though?

174
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 4: Maybe it was funny, but I mean you're winning, so it's.

175
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, that's uh that dude, that was so that

176
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: was so awesome. I mean like watching our team and

177
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: watching this momentum and you know, being a part of that.

178
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: I I have always said that punting is like on

179
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: demand TV.

180
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's not automatically on it's just when you

181
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: want it, you go, hey, are we punting?

182
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 5: All right?

183
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: You want to? But U And so, man, that is uh.

184
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: And that's also kind of too when you were asking about,

185
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, playing this long and I'm not diminishing how

186
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: special the experiences like going to the Pro Bowl, getting

187
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: to take my family, man, like after what happened last

188
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: year in that postseason run with a group of guys

189
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: like together all season. That is a that is a

190
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: completely different, you know, like special feeling that you get

191
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: to have as a team. So man, if I'm not punting,

192
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm not punting so that that's cool with me.

193
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 4: A true team guy, a true leader man for sure.

194
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: And as a leader and somebody that's been here for

195
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: a while, you have seen some tough times.

196
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 4: You've been through this before.

197
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 3: Some of these guys like our quarterback Jay and Daniels,

198
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 3: like some of our rookies have not been through these

199
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 3: tough times. How have you been able to help them

200
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: get through this? Because yes, we love all that glory,

201
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: by the end of today is still a job, that's

202
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 3: still things to do.

203
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: I have you been able to help with that?

204
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's a really great question. And I'm very

205
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: thankful that all I have to do is piggyback.

206
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 2: Off a dq Hi man. I I've I have always

207
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: respected that guy. I have always love to that guy.

208
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: His relentless competitiveness, and I've not heard him make one excuse.

209
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: I've not heard him lower one standard. He is just

210
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: so he's so easy to get behind. Dude like he is,

211
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: he has fun to play for. Each each game has

212
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: felt like this refresh, new game.

213
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: Here we go, let's go battle.

214
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: And so that whenever you have a coach lead in

215
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: the way like that, it's it's easy to be a

216
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: veteran in the locker room and to show the younger

217
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: guys like, hey, man, like take some pride, work your

218
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: butt off.

219
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: You know, you got some God given juice to go

220
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: play this game.

221
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: So like you show up and go one hundred percent

222
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: every day no matter what the record is, And that's attitude,

223
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: that's the kind of friend you are, that's you know,

224
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: in the weight room, on the field, And so it

225
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: also helps having we I'm a little biased, but we

226
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: have some of the best veterans in the whole NFL

227
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: on our team. So like I hope I hope some

228
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: of the younger guys got that. You know that the

229
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: crap happens, and so while I hope we don't ever

230
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: have to go through it again, it's a fully been

231
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: some sort of a learning experience.

232
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I'm glad that you mentioned dan Quinn because

233
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 3: it's easy to think what coaches say, especially when they're

234
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: in a new regime like it was last year, like

235
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 3: things of lip service, right, old brotherhood, all these like words,

236
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: you know, but that's not the case with dan Quinn.

237
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 3: What he does is real and what I've seen him

238
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: be able to do within two years, I don't think

239
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 3: I've ever seen it before. Have you in this building

240
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: seen anyone quite like Dank. We've had a lot of

241
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: head coaches. He's not picking a favorite and anyhing like that,

242
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 3: But have you seen somebody be able to come in

243
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: and change a culture of the way dan Quinn was

244
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 3: able to do?

245
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: Yeah?

246
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: No, I think I think that that's what makes him

247
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: so special, Like who he is as a communicator, how

248
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: he so obviously cares about you, you know, like and

249
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: he knows everybody in like a different way, Like if

250
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: you watch him coach the different guys, like he's still

251
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the same guy, but he knows how to get along

252
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: with all these different personalities and swapping stories and Alma

253
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: maters and you know everything like that. He he's just

254
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: he's just so intentional. And I think that that's, uh,

255
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: that's what makes him so easy to trust as a player,

256
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: because you feel like he wants you, like if you're

257
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,319
Speaker 1: if you're here, he wants you because he's so competitive

258
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: that if he doesn't think you're gonna get it done,

259
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna get somebody else. And so like there's like

260
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: this there's like this this standard, but also like like

261
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: confidence and empowerment that you get you know from him,

262
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: and he's yeah, definitely, definitely.

263
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: Special and that's great.

264
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: And it is special because we saw a lot of

265
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: people not be here when they when he first got here, right,

266
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: you were one of the people that were able to

267
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: stick around. And honestly, I don't think he had a

268
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: choice because you were.

269
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: A fan favorite. You are a fan favorite.

270
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 5: Man.

271
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 3: I'm sitting here looking at you with his podcast, Mike,

Speaker 1: She got up and I left for workouts, and she

362
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: looked around and she was like, where did my gum go?

363
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 3: So yeah that, Oh my god, it's incredible way to

Speaker 4: I appreciate you not only sharing it. Which the two.

366
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Pictures, so far as I thought I was cool and

367
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 1: doing both, one was that bad picture, and then now

368
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: was the gum.

369
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: And now it gets to come back to you years later, exactly,

370
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 3: and we got one more for you, one last one.

371
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: Look at that guy. Oh look at that guy right there,

372
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: number thirty. Huh, what's going on in this pic?

373
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: Right here?

374
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 4: Tres all right.

375
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: So whenever, whenever I was starting to I was starting

376
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: to become like a decently decorated high school punter and kicker.

377
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: My mom and dad like we were a big baseball family.

378
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: And one of the movies that we liked was sixty

379
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: one about Mickey Manel and Roger Marris, and I just

380
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: remember my mom always telling me.

381
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Like, hey, look at look at how or look how

382
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 2: Mickey Mantle interacts with everybody.

383
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: And then you know, like Roger kind of had his

384
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: own style, but it was just about you know, like

385
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: people remember how you treat them, like how you make

386
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: them feel, and she she would just always encourage me

387
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: be a Mantle and not a Mariss And so whenever,

388
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: whenever I started to get recruited and things like that,

389
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: the media would come around and I just I would

390
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: have some fun with it. And so they were like, hey,

391
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: we're going to take rivals. I think it was either

392
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: Rivals or twenty four to seven. They're like, hey, we're

393
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: going to take a picture for you for you know,

394
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: for recruiting, and I go, well, I'm the kicker so

395
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: that how are you going to take a picture? And

396
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: they gave me the football and I was like, can

397
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: I hit the Heisman?

398
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: And the guy was like, yeah, sure.

399
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: I had no idea it was going to turn into that.

400
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, that was once again, that was me as

401
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: a senior in high school and I thought I was cool.

402
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, well trust man, you're not gonna get an

403
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 3: argument for me. You are the coolest pun in the NFL.

404
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 3: You are the best punna in the NFL. And I

405
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 3: hope it was fun taking a little walk down and related.

Speaker 5: That was really good.

411
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: I immediately feel guilty all the times I did that

510
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 3: taking the time out of your busy schedule. Like I said,

511
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 3: you were a head coach or one of the best

512
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 3: high schools in Asper.

513
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:26,719
Speaker 4: We'll get into that in a second.

514
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 3: I want to start with the beginning because it's not

515
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 3: every day you meet somebody who played eleven years in

516
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: the NFL. It's not every day you meet somebody that

517
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 3: played eleven years NFL for the same team, right, like.

518
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: You almost never see that. So let's start from the beginning.

519
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 3: When you're drafted in the sixth round by Washington, what

520
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: did you know about this area, the DMV and all

521
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: that stuff before you had gotten here?

522
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: Man? Really zero?

523
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 6: If I'm being honest with you, I can remember getting

524
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 6: drafted and in six right, and then having it come

525
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 6: up for that first week mini camp, right, And so

526
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 6: I'm going to Atlanta Hartsville Airport. I grew up on

527
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 6: the south side of Atlanta Fad County Sandy Creek High School.

528
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 6: So right, I had really only flew, you know, outside

529
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 6: of football games, you know, traveling with the team, probably

530
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 6: like once or twice. Right, So they booked me a

531
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: ticket I go up to the count I forget what

532
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 6: it was with airline. They was like, hey, you going

533
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 6: to Washington. She was like, she said, she said, You're

534
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,359
Speaker 6: going to Dallas Airport. And I was like, no, no, no,

535
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 6: I'm not going to Dallas. I'm going to Washington. And

536
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 6: she was like no, no, no, I know. I was like, no,

537
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 6: I'm going to Washington, DC. She was like, yeah, You're

538
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: going to Dallas. And I was like and she's like,

539
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 6: look at your ticket. Long story short. That's how naive

540
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 6: I was to kind of the area and so on

541
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 6: and so forth. So when I get up here, the

542
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 6: lots changed, as we all know since two thousand and

543
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 6: six in allowed the kind of area. But for like

544
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 6: the first six months, man, it was like the hotel

545
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 6: and the facility because there was nothing else in between

546
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 6: those two things.

547
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 3: That is crazy to think about because I got here

548
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: about three years ago and I stayed at that hotel

549
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 3: for a month, but I got acclivated much like I

550
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: was there with crowd, I was there with players Like

551
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: that is wild to think about, and you have been

552
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: here ever since. It's wild to like drop around knowing

553
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 3: that years ago this was your stomping grounds like you

554
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: was a young man learning about the area.

555
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: Is is it wild to you still being out it?

556
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: Man?

557
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 6: It really is, just because you know, if you would

558
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 6: have told me as a as a you know, nineteen

559
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 6: twenty one year old, that I would live in Virginia

560
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 6: for now going on about you know, twenty years, you know,

561
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 6: I thought I would have stayed down south in Georgia

562
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 6: in that area, but.

563
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 5: Obviously played here eleven years.

564
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 6: All my kids were born here, companies are here, met

565
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 6: my wife here.

566
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 5: You know, time just keeps it moving, you know what

567
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 5: I mean.

568
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 6: And so but yeah, to your point, I remember, you know,

569
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 6: right there at the facility in Ashburn where that road

570
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 6: dead ended into a dirt road right so that it

571
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 6: didn't even connect to Highway seven right, Not to get

572
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 6: into too much like you know, logistics in northern Virginia,

573
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: but it's just it's cool to see how this was

574
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,640
Speaker 6: kind of like a rural community kind of turned into

575
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 6: what it is now with one loud and you know,

576
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 6: it's always been a transit area, but to see kind

577
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 6: of you know, the influx of tech and federal government

578
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 6: and all that kind of stuff.

579
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: What helped you get acclimated to out here, because, like

580
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: you said, it's a very small town field, especially back then,

581
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: you coming from Atlanta where it's jumping, you got so

582
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 3: much going on, so many of us are walking around

583
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 3: out there that you come here and it's very, very different.

584
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 3: What helps you get acclimated through those first few years.

585
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: Well, so you know, I grew up about probably forty

586
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 6: five minutes south of Atlanta, So I would be misleading

587
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 6: if I said I spent a lot of time in Atlanta.

588
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 6: I was more on old National Highway, Fair County P

589
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 6: Street City area. I was a young man, you know

590
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 6: what I mean. I went to college, went to the

591
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 6: University of Georgia, got drafted it up here. On getting

592
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 6: up here, I was introduced to so many other different cultures,

593
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. It's so diverse in this area,

594
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 6: and it's just so many opportunities to make a living

595
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 6: and just different things that I had never really thought

596
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 6: of growing up in the South of like, oh man,

597
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 6: you work in this industry, you work in that industry,

598
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 6: and just it all kind of came alive to me.

599
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 6: You know, you hear about Washington, DC and the federal

600
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: government and so on and so forth, so to actually

601
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 6: like be living in it, it was a really cool experience.

602
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: And you're coming in as a sixth round pick, right,

603
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 3: so you're trying to get acclimated, you're trying to figure

604
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: things out.

605
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 4: You're a young man, but you're also fighting for your life.

606
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 3: You're fighting for your job, fighting for a spot because

607
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: we've seen all too many times a sixth round pick

608
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: not even make the team, maybe not even get to

609
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 3: the practice squad, right, so you're trying to make the

610
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: roster and.

611
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 4: You did just that.

612
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 3: When did you feel comfortable in your position here at Washington?

613
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 3: Did you ever feel comfortable in position at Washington? Because

614
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: you spent eleven years here and you were all changed

615
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 3: a little bit through but it was always like, Kidrick

616
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 3: has to fight, he has to work for this spot,

617
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: he has to prove himself.

618
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 4: Did you feel that at all?

619
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: And if you did, did you ever shake it and

620
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: ever feel comfortable in your spot? No?

621
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 6: Absolutely? I mean, you know I was a six round

622
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 6: draft pick. When I came in the league, it wasn't

623
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 6: as it was. It was an older lead, it was

624
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 6: a more mature lead. You know, rookies, you know that

625
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 6: it was hard for young players in the NFL, rightfully,

626
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 6: so right, you want to earn your spot. And I

627
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 6: looked at it that it was only there's so many seats.

628
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: There's only so many seats at that table, right, and

629
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 6: so if you're sitting down in one of those seats, man,

630
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 6: it should mean something to you should have to work for.

631
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 6: But you know, out of my eleven year career, I

632
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 6: can probably think maybe three or four times were being

633
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 6: comfortable is the wrong word. I think obviously, when you

634
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 6: redo a contract and so on and so forth, you

635
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 6: kind of know you're going to be there for that year.

636
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 6: But every other year, like you said, man, I'm fighting

637
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 6: too for nail because it's how much I was the

638
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 6: game of football. That's how much I cared about that organization,

639
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 6: still do, and it's how much I cared about my teammates,

640
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: right and so a lot of people instilled a lot

641
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 6: in me, Like I said, Sandy Creek High School, South

642
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 6: side of Atlanta, University of Georgia's a lot of teachers,

643
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 6: a lot of counselors, a lot of coaches, my parents,

644
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 6: my siblings, right, so like I was able.

645
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 5: To represent them through all they invested in me.

646
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 6: I wasn't gonna take that lightly, right and understanding like,

647
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 6: once this is done, it's done. So I'm gonna maximize

648
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 6: this opportunity because what I am doing now as an

649
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 6: adult man is living out a childhood dream and being

650
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 6: able to provide for my family while doing it.

651
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: And I wanted to highlight your eleven years here because

652
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: when you're in here a place for eleven years, whether

653
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: that's the NFLNBA, wherever you're at, there's gonna be some turnover, right,

654
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 3: And in your eleven years, I think it was what

655
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: four different head coaches, maybe more. You got new gms,

656
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 3: and every time a new coaching staff comes in, you

657
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 3: got to resell yourself. You got to reconvince this staff

658
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 3: that you're one of the ones, because again, on paper,

659
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,639
Speaker 3: they're just looking at a six round pick that's been

660
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 3: playing right, but they didn't pick you, they didn't draft you.

661
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: What was that like dealing with all the changes in

662
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: Washington because again, there's not many people.

663
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 4: That have in eleven years in one location.

664
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 3: That can talk to just living through all the changes

665
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: that happened in the organization.

666
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 6: Man, you got to be flexible and understand that, you know,

667
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 6: whether Kendrick Goldson plays this season or plays this game, right,

668
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 6: like football is going to happen, right, And so you know,

669
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 6: I remember Marcus Washington was a veteran when I came in, right,

670
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 6: and he talked about, you know, whenever you think you're

671
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 6: not replaceable in this business, that's when they're going to

672
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 6: replace you. And as you go out, you know, as

673
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 6: I went on through my career.

674
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 5: Right, like the.

675
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 6: Indianapolis coach cut Peyton Manning, you know what I mean,

676
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 6: Like really good Hall of Fame players, you know, get released.

677
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 6: And so as far as the different coaches, obviously, you know,

678
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,160
Speaker 6: knew it was a big deal when coach Gibbs draft

679
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 6: me and O six right, and then you know, obviously

680
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 6: I played with him for two years and then Jim's on,

681
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 6: Mike Shanahan and Jay Gruden, right, So got respect for

682
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,199
Speaker 6: all those guys. You know, there's things that I've taken,

683
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 6: you know, in my coaching career now and playing in

684
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 6: preparation that I liked and I was just, you know,

685
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 6: felt blessed to be able to play for them. But

686
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 6: you got to be flexible in understanding that if I

687
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 6: work hard and do everything that I need to do right,

688
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 6: they're gonna find value in that.

689
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: Obviously, you got to produce.

690
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 6: This is a production based business, but more so than anything,

691
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 6: and what people I think in life don't realize is

692
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 6: that when people can trust you, they'll go to war

693
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 6: for you.

694
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 5: Right.

695
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 6: And so I felt like no matter who the gn was,

696
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 6: whoever the coach was, they had trusted me that when

697
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 6: I was going to be accountable to the team and

698
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 6: accountable to myself to always put my best foot forward.

699
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 3: And when you're doing that right, when you're fighting for

700
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 3: your life essentially in those trenches, like that's become such

701
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: a lifestyle, right You're out here, like I said, you

702
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 3: meet your wife, you have your kids out here. This

703
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 3: is home years, this is what you do. And a

704
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 3: cool thing about next man, it was I've got to

705
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: talk to a lot of LEGENDSI is. Somehow this season

706
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 3: the trend has been people talking about how hard it's

707
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 3: been to retire, how hard it was to leave the game.

708
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 3: Was it hard for you to leave the game, because

709
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I gotta imagine after over a decade of playing,

710
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: there probably wasn't much left on the table for you

711
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: to eat, Like you pretty much finished your food, is

712
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 3: how you felt, you.

713
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 5: Know, I mean, I think you don't.

714
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 6: You don't sit at that seat for as long as

715
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 6: you do without thinking you can do more, right, And

716
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: so you know I didn't. I was I didn't think

717
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 6: I would play one year, let alone eleven, right, And

718
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 6: it's kind of you know, you hear about the statistics

719
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 6: of the average NFL career three point four years, right,

720
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 6: And so I always was in the moment and understanding

721
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 6: and appreciating, you know what it was that I had

722
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 6: and continue to be on this roster, you know. That

723
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 6: being said, you know, my career ended based off of

724
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 6: an injury. You know, second second game of a year,

725
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 6: I tear my hamstring off the bone. It was kind

726
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 6: of like the perfect an area, right. I was old,

727
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: I was, you know, relatively expensive, and I was injured, right,

728
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 6: So I kind of knew walking off that field at

729
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 6: FedEx Field during that time that this might be the

730
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 6: last time I ever played football.

731
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 5: That being said, I'm thankful for my time.

732
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 6: This game has been too good to me and my

733
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 6: family to be bitter about it, but I did. I

734
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 6: would have liked to have the opportunity to go out

735
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 6: there and compete for my own self to see, hey,

736
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 6: am I am? I still good enough to go out

737
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: there and play, right, And I think with a lot

738
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: of legends and a lot of people that retire, right, Like,

739
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 6: it's easy to get bitter about things, but you have

740
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 6: to know in this business, like nobody really gets to

741
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 6: go out on their own terms, right, Like that's that's

742
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 6: like a Disney movie, right, So you kind of know

743
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 6: that getting into it, right So I appreciate the time

744
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 6: and the moments that I had knowing that it would

745
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 6: come to an end. But I'm not going to turn

746
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 6: my back or get better about a game that I love,

747
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 6: that I enjoyed being around it and it's done so

748
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 6: much for me and my family.

749
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: And like you said, everybody knows, everything comes to an end,

750
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 3: right Like, everything you do, no matter it's NFL or not.

751
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: It does come to an end.

752
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: But it doesn't make it easier to deal with in

753
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: real time, right, Like, especially when you suffer an injury

754
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 3: where you're like, dang, I still had a little more

755
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 3: left in the take.

756
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: How did you deal with that?

757
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: How did you overcome those feelings, those thoughts, those maybe

758
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 3: sometimes regrets.

759
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 4: How did you deal with that post career?

760
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 6: You know, obviously my kids were you know, I had

761
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 6: four children, two boys, two girls. All they know is Dad,

762
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. So like I consider there

763
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 6: in mop arade all I want to but you know,

764
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 6: giving you know obviously, and I say this like I

765
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: never I was always around, you know what I mean.

766
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 6: I hear players talk about, Oh I was able to

767
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 6: kind of re engage with my family when I got

768
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 6: done planning. I was already engaged, but it allowed me

769
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 6: to kind of experience life from a new vantage point, right,

770
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 6: because since I was you know, let's just say high

771
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: school for instance, right, that's eight years high school college

772
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 6: level for like twenty plus years. Like I had this

773
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 6: six month block of time that was taken away from me.

774
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 5: Right.

775
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 6: So I can remember my first football season being out.

776
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 6: I see people kind of like hanging out on Friday

777
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 6: nights and kind of walking the dogs one like what

778
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 6: is this like, oh, this is called a weekend, right,

779
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 6: But my Fridays were like, you know, you know, get

780
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 6: your massage, you know, get your stretch and get your

781
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 6: body right so that you can play on Sunday, right,

782
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 6: and then Mondays and Tuesdays, you know, you going into

783
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 6: the facility, putting the previous games film to bed, and

784
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 6: then Tuesdays and off day where you just kind of

785
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 6: go run some errands and stay in the bed getting

786
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 6: ready for next week. So it was this huge block

787
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 6: of time that had now presented itself to me, and

788
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 6: so I think I was able to kind of enjoy,

789
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 6: you know, enjoy everything that was around me, because when

790
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 6: you're playing football, like you're so centered on that week's

791
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 6: opponent in the sea in that a lot of other

792
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 6: stuff that's going on you're just oblivious to.

793
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, you're indot right, like that is a

794
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: seven days a week, three sixty five. When you're a

795
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 3: pro athlete, you're always working. Like you said, even when

796
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: you're resting, you're still working and being very thoughtful on

797
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: how you're resting. And you didn't stay away from football

798
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 3: long though. You end up deciding the coach. I think

799
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: it started with you coaching your kids and helping them out.

800
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: But now, like I said, you're the coach of one

801
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 3: of the best high schools in ashburn Man. What was

802
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 3: that like and what was that transition into becoming a coach,

803
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 3: because was that something you always thought you wanted to do?

804
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 5: Yes and no. Right.

805
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 6: I always enjoyed the process of football, the preparation, whether

806
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 6: it be helping a younger player out or you know,

807
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 6: kind of the processes I went through. And so my

808
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 6: two sons were at the age where they were interested

809
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 6: in playing football, and like a lot of parents meant,

810
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 6: I dropped them off and kind of set up my

811
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 6: line chair and was just watching.

812
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,480
Speaker 5: I can remember, like it was yesterday.

813
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 6: The coach had about three or four helpers, and I

814
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 6: would sit there and out have his water bottle and

815
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 6: his orange slices, and I was just a dad kind

816
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 6: of living it up. But then there was like two

817
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 6: days in a row where none of the assistant coaches

818
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 6: showed up right, and I was like, hey, I can

819
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 6: kind of help you, and he was like, I've been

820
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 6: waiting on you to get out here, you know what

821
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 6: I mean.

822
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 5: And so the rest is history, you know, you know.

823
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:23,439
Speaker 6: I I enjoy what football did for me, not only

824
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 6: on the field, but what it taught me is how

825
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 6: to be a man.

826
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 5: Right, Like I can remember vividly like.

827
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 6: Just life lessons that I've learned through football, right, And

828
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 6: people might think that's cliche, but like, you know, football

829
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 6: is kind of one of the last things on earth

830
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 6: that's really hard, you know what I mean. You start

831
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 6: football in the dead of the summer where it's one

832
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 6: hundred degrees outside, and you finish up, hopefully if you're

833
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 6: good enough when it's freezing outside, right, and you're sore,

834
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 6: you're tired. You got to force yourself to do things

835
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 6: that your body doesn't want to do. You got to

836
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 6: work with people to achieve a common goal, right, And

837
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 6: so you know, it really is no truer saying, and

838
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 6: like doing hard things with good people.

839
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 5: Right.

840
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 6: A lot of my relationships that I have are because

841
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 6: of football, right, and me and my brothers going through

842
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 6: different things and so on and so forth. So I

843
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 6: almost feel like it's me giving back because so much

844
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 6: was poured into me. And I know that, you know,

845
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 6: it's easy to kind of lose focus of what this

846
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 6: game really is, and so I just want to make

847
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 6: sure I'm there's almost like a square to what football

848
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 6: is and it's not about everything, you know, the glipse

849
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 6: and the gleant everybody want to make it out to be.

850
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 6: There's still a lot to learn for young people in

851
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:39,919
Speaker 6: the game.

852
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: And it's not just you reaching out to young people

853
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 3: and helping them out.

854
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 5: Man.

855
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 3: Your staff has a few ex Redskins on there, a

856
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: few of your former teammates. Why was that important for

857
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 3: you to add some of those guys and adding the

858
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 3: Logan Paulson and guys like that that you had played with.

859
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 4: Why was that important to you?

860
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 6: One, they're really good men, right. I knew what type

861
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 6: of cloth they were cut from. I knew they cared

862
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 6: about people, and I knew they were in it for

863
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 6: the right reasons, you know what I mean? Like between Logan,

864
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 6: Rock Cartwright, Kerry Campbell, we have another you know, Mike

865
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 6: Geeter played running back of he you know, went to

866
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 6: Yorktown High School, played running back in North Carolina. Greg Finner,

867
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 6: which was a Stonebridge alumni that played. I think he

868
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 6: started the program down at ODU.

869
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 5: I wanted to.

870
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 6: Get men that I knew cared about young people to

871
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 6: teach them the game of football, right, because it's not

872
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 6: about us, right, Like like I always tell my sons, man,

873
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 6: like keep pressing forward. Man, I'm not gonna walk in

874
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 6: front of you. I'm just gonna make sure you don't

875
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 6: fall right. So if we can help elevate these young

876
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 6: people man to live out their goals not on the field,

877
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 6: to like you know, be great husbands and great fathers

878
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 6: and great leaders in the community. Man, that's the true

879
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 6: success and the true reward, especially when you talk about

880
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 6: high school sports, and.

881
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: I can't imagine anything more rewarding. And getting to see

882
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 3: your sons do it, getting to see them find success,

883
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: get college office, get love, get things of that nature.

884
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 4: Man, is this been the.

885
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: Most fun you've had in your life? Like I know

886
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 3: A Levey is in NFL. I can't even imagine what

887
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: that's like. But I got a feeling you doing this

888
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 3: side and being being dad and being head coach.

889
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 4: I feel like that hits a little different than my right.

890
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 6: Oh, no doubt about it. I mean that was one

891
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 6: of the reasons I got into it. I got my

892
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,720
Speaker 6: oldest son, Kendrick Goldstrom Junior, and my younger son Kayden,

893
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 6: and a lot of their friends that I grew up

894
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 6: coaching when they were little, to be able to coach

895
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 6: them in real time and experience football in school and

896
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 6: life with them in this type of way, man, like,

897
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 6: I can never recreate this right, So it was really

898
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 6: just a blessing for doctor Flynn and Missus Windows and

899
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 6: mister Gallo which is our principal and athletic directors to

900
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 6: give me this opportunity, man, and I take great responsibility

901
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 6: in it. So I tell people like, it's the most rewarding,

902
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 6: frustrating thing I've ever done in my life, because when

903
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 6: I was playing, it was all about, hey, how do

904
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 6: I prepare myself making sure I take care of my business.

905
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 6: Whereas now I got sixty kids, I'm worrying about it,

906
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 6: and I got eleven coaches that I'm trying to make sure.

907
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 6: But with all those people that have around me, I'm

908
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 6: only as good as my coaches and the players in

909
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 6: the administration around me. So got great people around me.

910
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 6: And you know, had a good season this year. You know,

911
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 6: we lost to Maury in the state semifinals. So looking

912
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 6: to bounce back and you know, bring stone Bridge to

913
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,640
Speaker 6: their rightful place of the head of the State of Virginia.

914
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: Coach Ghosting of stone Bridge High School. Man that has

915
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 3: a nice ring to it. Y'all have been killing that.

916
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: I keep up with y'all team because of Logan, he's

917
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 3: so locked in, he loves it. I mean, he's just

918
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: he's just a phenomenal football mind. So you got you

919
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 3: a good staff on your hands. Last question for you, coach,

920
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 3: because I know you got to get going. When you

921
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: look back at eleven years at Washington, What memory, what

922
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 3: thought sticks out to you most?

923
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 5: Man?

924
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 6: Honestly, like, there's so many memories, you know, good and bad.

925
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 6: But I think like my first game was on September eleventh,

926
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 6: two thousand and six, Monday Night Football were playing in

927
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 6: Minnesota Vikings. Steve Hutchinson had just signed there in free agency,

928
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 6: was the best offensive lineman. All my family drove up

929
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 6: from Atlanta, and so it was just like one of

930
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 6: those moments that like your dream was finally a reality, right,

931
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 6: And it was just like so much fun and youthful

932
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 6: excitement because I had worked so hard to make this

933
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 6: roster and now I'm actually playing in the NFL game

934
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 6: and the people that I care most about were there

935
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 6: to share it with me. And then my second one

936
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 6: would probably be when my two sons were old enough

937
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 6: to know what daddy was doing and I was able

938
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 6: to bring them into the locker room after the games

939
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 6: to experience that with me, you know what I mean.

940
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 6: And so you know, a ton of great relationships, a

941
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 6: lot of memories, a lot of friends, a lot of

942
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 6: people I call family now came out of that building.

943
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 6: And that's what I really take away from it, you

944
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like you forget about the wins

945
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 6: and the losses, you forget about how sore you were.

946
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 6: But those relationships are going to last me a lifetime,

947
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 6: and that's what I value the most.
