Speaker 2: gonna need you to put that Mike is close to
Speaker 2: your mouth apostle when you're talking about it. But we
Speaker 2: have Will Anderson and on the podcast pause real quick
Speaker 2: around appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having starting starting as a freshman at Alabama,
Speaker 1: National champion.
Speaker 2: During the saban Era.
Speaker 1: Drafted third overall in last year's draft, Defensive Rookie of
Speaker 1: the Year for defensive players, the hammer, the terminator in college?
Speaker 3: What do we call you?
Speaker 1: What's your nickname? Now in the NFL they calling me
Speaker 1: the same thing?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 2: Oh? No, I don't know if you know anything about us.
Speaker 2: We both played for the Titans at one point in
Speaker 2: our lives.
Speaker 4: I think I seen you going back and forward with
Speaker 4: somebody was on my team.
Speaker 2: Maybe probably there was. Honestly, Bill O'Brien and I had
Speaker 2: a couple of runnings with each other. He's an old
Speaker 2: coach here. But there's always the talk of the Houston
Speaker 2: Oiler uniforms. I want to talk about your stance on
Speaker 2: who should be able to wear the Oilers uniforms.
Speaker 4: I think we should. I mean they started here in Houston.
Speaker 4: I mean we we should be wearing them.
Speaker 5: Man, we we we we the what do you think
Speaker 5: of this?
Speaker 1: What do you think about this? Because you guys played
Speaker 1: twice a year. Game one, the stakes are whoever wins
Speaker 1: earns the right to wear the retros in game two.
Speaker 5: I like that.
Speaker 1: Would you be against that?
Speaker 5: I wouldn't beast that at all.
Speaker 2: I would I would change one thing to that. And
Speaker 2: it's just like a trophy game in college. So the
Speaker 2: previous season, whoever won the last meeting, the first meeting
Speaker 2: to whoever won keeps the uniforms on. So it's just
Speaker 2: always every single game.
Speaker 1: So if you're if you're wearing the UNI, you can't
Speaker 1: wear it until you beat them.
Speaker 4: Basically, once you beat them, then you get Yes, you
Speaker 4: like that, let's propose that.
Speaker 1: To the NFL right now. Yeah, I know you got
Speaker 1: to say it up for Houston. But growing up, I
Speaker 1: heard you're a mad man. Your old man was hard
Speaker 1: on you in football. I heard you got pranked a
Speaker 1: lot by your family, like throw us back to the
Speaker 1: young and days and give us a story or two.
Speaker 1: I also heard your old man would pull you out
Speaker 1: of the game.
Speaker 4: But from the stands, I didn't have the typical game
Speaker 4: to where like there's some something was going on. You'd
Speaker 4: like keep my son in the game. It is like,
Speaker 4: why my son not playing? He'll be right here in
Speaker 4: the States said, get his ass out of their coach,
Speaker 4: he don't want to play right now? Sit is that
Speaker 4: come up? You could come up here next week. We
Speaker 4: could go home.
Speaker 5: That type of dad I have, Man, my dad was
Speaker 5: tough on me.
Speaker 4: He didn't play like all the winding and pouting and
Speaker 4: all that man he was.
Speaker 1: He was only hard on the Friday night lights.
Speaker 5: Dad.
Speaker 1: Of course a hole on the ball. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I stopped paying my dad once I got to college.
Speaker 4: But going all the way up into high school, I
Speaker 4: heard him every game, and once I got to college,
Speaker 4: I was like, yes, I can't hear his Boy, did
Speaker 4: you ever.
Speaker 1: Get pulled out of a game in high school because
Speaker 1: you said.
Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no A. By the time I tuned
Speaker 5: him out and I was doing my thing back then.
Speaker 2: You know he's balling out too. The coach is like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what his dad's talking about. Will out
Speaker 2: of the Yeah, Alabama, what made you want to go
Speaker 2: to Alabama?
Speaker 4: Honestly, I always tell people it was a gamble. I
Speaker 4: was like, I just want to see why they're so great,
Speaker 4: Like I want to see what they do and earlier
Speaker 4: to road. And I remember my first fourth quarter when
Speaker 4: we broke it up. I literally took a knee in
Speaker 4: the hut and I was like, damn, this is why
Speaker 4: they're so great.
Speaker 1: And I was really thinking over my whole life decision.
Speaker 4: But I really just wanted to go to to compete
Speaker 4: for real, for real, like just to go against the
Speaker 4: best and like really like make a name for myself.
Speaker 1: Any fights, any fight stories back in the college days,
Speaker 1: because you guys have a lot of dogs on your guys' team,
Speaker 1: I would assume it gets pretty heated in those in
Speaker 1: those saving practices, a.
Speaker 5: Lot of fights.
Speaker 4: Man. My last year there, I remember it was like
Speaker 4: a whole like Scout team. It was so crazy because
Speaker 4: the Scout team offense and defense, we used to fight
Speaker 4: all the time. And we was like, man, I know
Speaker 4: today they're not gonna try us. And it was just
Speaker 4: one day it was super hot outside and when the
Speaker 4: Oldlaman had pushed one of the dv's in the back
Speaker 4: and it was just an all out brow for like
Speaker 4: two periods straight and Coach Fable was cussing everybody off
Speaker 4: and saying.
Speaker 1: Get your ass's back to the salt line, and.
Speaker 4: I think he pushed somebody too, So I don't know,
Speaker 4: but that's just between us. Yeah, I got.
Speaker 3: You guys.
Speaker 2: It seems like every day I practice, you guys had
Speaker 2: something going on out here.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: How why are temper so high?
Speaker 4: And he's man, I think it's just the competition, the
Speaker 4: competitive nature now like everybody's competing at a high level.
Speaker 5: The energy to high is positive. I think it's just
Speaker 5: brotherly love. Man. I think that's what makes really great
Speaker 5: teams great.
Speaker 1: When you and CJ get drafted last year, you know,
Speaker 1: recently before that, Houston was like a dumpster fire. I mean,
Speaker 1: honestly though it was. Yeah, but a lot of expectation
Speaker 1: on you guys coming in. You got coach Ryans too.
Speaker 1: What do you feel like was the biggest shift last
Speaker 1: year with you guys coming in that first year?
Speaker 5: I think it was just the culture shift.
Speaker 4: Getting the guys, you know, they they were they played
Speaker 4: in a lot of close games. But I think getting
Speaker 4: the right type of people in here, the right type
Speaker 4: of culture, hardworking, all that type of stuff in here
Speaker 4: was like the best thing that could have happened to
Speaker 4: this place.
Speaker 5: Just the shift wise of mindset and mentality.
Speaker 1: Is there a play or a moment that you identify
Speaker 1: where you feel like you earn your respect to the fellas.
Speaker 4: I would say every snap, man, It's not just one
Speaker 4: particular player. I feel like every snap I'm continuing to
Speaker 4: giving it off of my teammates, trying to be a
Speaker 4: good leader, man, just trying to fly around. It's warm
Speaker 4: every play man, and just beat there for my team
Speaker 4: and show up.
Speaker 2: When do you talk about leadership? You obviously being at
Speaker 2: Alabama your top on top of the food chain. You're
Speaker 2: taking third overall, so you were in a big leadership
Speaker 2: role there going into your rookie year. How did you
Speaker 2: try to demonstrate more leadership capabilities at such a young
Speaker 2: age when you have these like ten year vets, three kids,
Speaker 2: a couple of mortgages, and they're like, man, what are
Speaker 2: you talking to me about leadership?
Speaker 4: It's so crazy, man, because I actually got voted as
Speaker 4: a captain my rookie year and it wasn't a soccer
Speaker 4: but it was just like I was nervous because I'm like,
Speaker 4: just like you said, like, I'm a young dog coming
Speaker 4: here with these team. You're they grown men, Like, look,
Speaker 4: I'm new to the league. Like, but I think the
Speaker 4: biggest thing for me. I just wanted to keep my
Speaker 4: head down and just work hard and show them like
Speaker 4: I'm not all talked. I'm not going to just try
Speaker 4: to like talk to you guys. I'm just gonna show
Speaker 4: you through my actions and then we can build up
Speaker 4: to it. So like this year, I try to be
Speaker 4: more vocal, just because, like I know why if I'm wrong,
Speaker 4: I know how a coach is supposed to go, and
Speaker 4: I know how to set the tone.
Speaker 1: Are you more of a vocal guy? We got to
Speaker 1: go to during our spring to where we went to
Speaker 1: Bama and that staff, like everybody in the building talked
Speaker 1: insanely high about you. Are you a big vocal guy?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I brun the defense up last week man to talk
Speaker 4: to him man, And I think that's what you have
Speaker 4: to have is some type of leadership and camaraderie with
Speaker 4: the team man, just to know that, like, we gotta
Speaker 4: keep this thing going.
Speaker 5: And what happened last year was last year. We got
Speaker 5: to focus on this year with I.
Speaker 2: Lost my train of thought. I have a fun go ahead.
Speaker 1: So I was I was our producer shout at the boy.
Speaker 1: Shirroom was telling me that your family, like you had
Speaker 1: a lot of pranks happen. You guys are a big
Speaker 1: pranks your family. Can you give a couple couple of
Speaker 1: pranks that are most most memorable.
Speaker 4: So one time, so my dad used to breathe pit bulls.
Speaker 4: So we used to have a whole bunch of pick
Speaker 4: bulls in the backyard screening. Two of them roam around
Speaker 4: and I was little at the time, and we had
Speaker 4: this giraft suit.
Speaker 5: I don't know why we had it.
Speaker 4: But my sisters dressed me up and I think we
Speaker 4: just been a playing around the house and you know
Speaker 4: all that they put me in the draft suit. All
Speaker 4: I know is all five of them, Like they picked
Speaker 4: me up, took me to the screen and door, opened
Speaker 4: the screen and door like this why and just let
Speaker 4: the dogs start like drowning at me and trying to
Speaker 4: bite me and like trying to like attack me or
Speaker 4: whatever like that.
Speaker 5: And I was screaming and crying.
Speaker 1: Like, hey, how old are you?
Speaker 2: I've ever heard four years old at the time, it's
Speaker 2: just five bitches, and you have either the sault thing
Speaker 2: was bad.
Speaker 1: Hey he kind of stops and just kind of staring
Speaker 1: flashing back. Man.
Speaker 5: I was like I was literally crying, like nobody.
Speaker 4: And then the biggest thing, Like my parents used to
Speaker 4: work during the day, so I just used to be
Speaker 4: at home with them by myself.
Speaker 5: And I mean I was crying.
Speaker 4: I think I ain't even gonna bearance myself like that,
Speaker 4: but I almost peed on myself.
Speaker 1: I No, that would be terrifying.
Speaker 4: Bro, the Worstern brothers, I'm telling you their Worstern brothers.
Speaker 2: How many pippoles were there?
Speaker 4: A lot, A lot, a lot. We had a backdrop.
Speaker 4: My mom made my dad. Another situation happened and we
Speaker 4: had to get rid of all of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so you're not You're not the point of
Speaker 1: contact for all the fellas when they want a dog.
Speaker 1: You're not like, hey, I got you.
Speaker 4: We breed them, now we bring We just started. My
Speaker 4: dad just started breeding them again. So trying to get
Speaker 4: get the bins out there again.
Speaker 5: But it's cool.
Speaker 2: Hey, on defense, you guys got some studs out there.
Speaker 2: I was just looking at the guys, is it ou sheer? Yes,
Speaker 2: he came home from the Titans. Tell me about him
Speaker 2: because he looks like in.
Speaker 1: The archery right archer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, infectious personality once once he brought to the table.
Speaker 4: Here, man, he's he's incredible, the energy that he has,
Speaker 4: the way he can bring the defense up. Man. And
Speaker 4: I remember one situation in practice. I had jumped off
Speaker 4: sides and like, I've never had anybody like get on
Speaker 4: me before, like I correct myself and I had got
Speaker 4: mad at myself.
Speaker 5: He says, stop fucking pouting, and it kind of like
Speaker 5: you don't know who I am.
Speaker 4: And it was just that respect level because I'm like, okay,
Speaker 4: he challenged me. I like that shit, that's what we need.
Speaker 4: And ever since then, like the defense has just been
Speaker 4: on one. Like he gets everybody going, man. He fights around,
Speaker 4: he has fun, and he does it the right way.
Speaker 1: What uh, what traits do you enjoy the most? Like
Speaker 1: watching Coach Ryan's being his first said coaching job, being
Speaker 1: a defensive guy, like you, what have you liked the
Speaker 1: most about Coach Ryan?
Speaker 5: I just love that he's a players coach.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: He actually coaches, and he actually loves players, man, And
Speaker 4: he actually gets the time to know his players and
Speaker 4: actually coach them and get them.
Speaker 5: To know ball and just more than ball, Like.
Speaker 1: Can you can you talk about can you talk about
Speaker 1: like an example of what that means, like players coach
Speaker 1: because obviously we throw it around a lot. But I
Speaker 1: feel like we know in our minds, like when somebody
Speaker 1: walks in a room and then they feel like you
Speaker 1: feel like they're connecting with you more one on one
Speaker 1: and teaching these games versus, hey, you have to do
Speaker 1: it this way, you have to do it that way.
Speaker 1: Is there like a certain example that you're able to
Speaker 1: speak to when talking about him being a player's coach?
Speaker 4: So, for instance, when I first got here, you know,
Speaker 4: mostly the coaches when you draft the rookie, they could
Speaker 4: have just been like, man, just go out there and
Speaker 4: do what you normally do, like whatever you're going in Alabama.
Speaker 4: And I came up to him one day and I
Speaker 4: was like, coach, like, how can I get better on
Speaker 4: this and that? And he stopped me. He said, will
Speaker 4: I just want you to get better at one thing.
Speaker 4: I just I don't want you to do no other
Speaker 4: move the rest of camp. He said, I just want
Speaker 4: you to work along form a work a ball. That's it.
Speaker 4: That's the only move I want you to work. And
Speaker 4: I want you to just keep perfecting that move every day.
Speaker 4: And he got them to show clips for me, He
Speaker 4: got them to make a real for me and everything
Speaker 4: and every day he was just on me about that
Speaker 4: and for him to like just say, I want you
Speaker 4: to work on this one thing, and he showed me
Speaker 4: clips and then follow up with it with me and
Speaker 4: just showed my progress and my prog.
Speaker 5: That's what made me even respect him even more.
Speaker 1: I love that, Yeah, I love that about working on
Speaker 1: one thing every day.
Speaker 2: Talk about going against a guy like lambry Tunssel every man.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 4: I think benma kind of burying me, like being there,
Speaker 4: like they have great guys, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: But then you get here, you go against an elite guy,
Speaker 4: like a really elite guy, and he gets me better
Speaker 4: for sure. Like going against him, it's hard to beat
Speaker 4: him because he's so technically sound.
Speaker 2: Man, his feet are beautiful feet.
Speaker 4: I mean I watched it and I'll just watch how
Speaker 4: he does everything and it's still liked.
Speaker 5: I can't beat him, but he's great.
Speaker 1: Man there he is stout, casual. Yeah he's massive too.
Speaker 2: Like energy is so casual, but his feet are like typewriters.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he stays.
Speaker 4: Square for so long. He's that what makes him really great.
Speaker 4: He can stay square in his stamps. He has to
Speaker 4: open up the gate in our division.
Speaker 2: Who have you had the most difficulty with Colts Jaggs
Speaker 2: because Titans. I hate saying this. He kind of went
Speaker 2: on you kind of a crazy.
Speaker 1: And would say the coat is number seventy two.
Speaker 5: Yeah, just guess he's like I was.
Speaker 4: A rookie though, but he's just very strong handed, wants
Speaker 4: to like just grab your hold onto you.
Speaker 1: The other side was a good side. But other than that,
Speaker 1: that's the only Parson. It's seventy two the one you're
Speaker 1: most looking forward to seeing this year?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I'm looking forward to going on against
Speaker 4: the teams. I think this second year just been a
Speaker 4: confident boost and just going back and watch the film
Speaker 4: and being so embarrassed, like what were you even thinking?
Speaker 4: Like what were you even doing? Yeah, coming out here
Speaker 4: trying to get better at those things.
Speaker 1: On the go ahead, I was gonna say, on the
Speaker 1: flip side of Coach Ryan, you mentioned the things you
Speaker 1: love about him. What is what is what is a
Speaker 1: pet peeve of his? Yeah? Pet peeves that you have
Speaker 1: that he doesn't like, that you don't like, not that
Speaker 1: you don't like, but it's like a pet peeve of him.
Speaker 1: That kind of shows the human side of it, because
Speaker 1: not everybody you know, you don't just love everybody all
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 5: Honestly, man, I don't really have one. Man he's great,
Speaker 5: and I've had some coaches.
Speaker 4: W I did have Pet Peeve, But like man, he's
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I respectful so much because we have the
Speaker 4: same personality. We have the same mindset and mentality, so
Speaker 4: it's easy for me to play for him and understand him.
Speaker 1: So how about Pet Peeve of a coach saving ah,
Speaker 1: let's see. I mean it prepared us for it, but
Speaker 1: we will literally do.
Speaker 4: Like team run versus scouts, and then we do team
Speaker 4: run versus ones back to back like we're going right back.
Speaker 4: And I was just like, bro, why couldn't we just
Speaker 4: do team run versus the one and get it out

Speaker 1: a little bit of your high school, like trying to
Speaker 1: get your first offer, they pull it. You go to
Speaker 1: community college, then you go to Houston with Coach Carrier,
Speaker 1: and I think that is an awesome story. Can you
Speaker 1: talk about can you try to put that your story
Speaker 1: in a nuts yell and talk about like what Coach
Speaker 1: Carrier meant to you when he bet on you going
Speaker 1: to Houston when everybody else was saying he is not
Speaker 1: the right build at all to kind of get on
Speaker 1: a wide receiver.
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, Coach Carreery, I love him. I still talk
Speaker 6: to him to this day. Man, he did everything for me.
Speaker 6: I feel like without him, I wouldn't be one man
Speaker 6: today for sure.
Speaker 3: And it's funny because he.
Speaker 6: Told me like, once I got to Houston, I wasn't
Speaker 6: I wasn't gonna want to leave, and now that I'm here,
Speaker 6: I don't want to leave. But man, I say, like
Speaker 6: back in Juco, you know I didn't have Back in Juco,
Speaker 6: I didn't have like no offers. I had three offers.
Speaker 6: Central Michigan Accorate in Houston, and he came. He actually
Speaker 6: flew all the way to Kansas for me and sat
Speaker 6: in there. We met for like an hour thirty two hours,
Speaker 6: and he was just he just looked me in my
Speaker 6: eyes like he can saw that I was hunger, He
Speaker 6: saw the dog and men like After that, they gave
Speaker 6: me the offer I earned offering.
Speaker 3: It was, it was wrapped up.
Speaker 2: There was there ever a point in that process where
Speaker 2: you were thinking of yourself, maybe football is not for me,
Speaker 2: Maybe these people are right.
Speaker 3: Nah nah.
Speaker 6: I felt like either way, however it went, I was
Speaker 6: gonna get here regardless. I was gonna just keep my
Speaker 6: head down, keep working. I was gonna find a way
Speaker 6: for sure. So so I never felt like that.
Speaker 1: What do you feel like you learned from from take
Speaker 1: coming in when he gets drafted, or when he gets drafted,
Speaker 1: comes in the league being an undersized cat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, it's really it's really about the dog in him,
Speaker 3: the heart.
Speaker 6: You know. It's not about the size. You know, it's
Speaker 6: not about you know what you bring to the table, man,
Speaker 6: It's really about your heart, your mindset.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: And since day when he came in, he came in
Speaker 6: on the mission, and it showed every day Man, the
Speaker 6: off season, during the season practice. Man, like the boy
Speaker 6: hunger you know what I'm saying, Like he want the rock,
Speaker 6: you want to shine. Man, it felt like the ground
Speaker 6: had been putting in ever since he got here. In
Speaker 6: the off season and season it's showing. You know, it's
Speaker 6: the reason why he's special, you know. So I feel
Speaker 6: like Man for us and like his wide out this
Speaker 6: whole offense. Man, we're gonna be dangerous.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 6: Once you start clicking, getting in the rhythm, getting our
Speaker 6: swat bat man, it's gonna be in trouble, Lena, be
Speaker 6: in trouble for sure.
Speaker 2: You talk about swag dude. And obviously the Tennessee Titans
Speaker 2: have probably the best alternative uniforms of the NFL. I
Speaker 2: feel like hours hours five your thinkers are better than
Speaker 2: the Oiler ones.
Speaker 1: Would you rather? Who do you lie? That's the baby?
Speaker 2: Was just basically just trying to copy the oilers? Crazy?
Speaker 2: They will? Who do you think should be able to
Speaker 2: wear the O. G. Houston Oiler uniforms.
Speaker 1: I feel.
Speaker 2: About copy right laws. You guys know about owner Bud Adams?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you feel about this?
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 2: Like trophy games College, like Paul Bundy and trophy. Whoever
Speaker 2: wins that game, they bring the trophy to the next game.
Speaker 2: Whoever wins takes it. So he Houston plays Tennessee twice
Speaker 2: a year that whoever win the last game gets to
Speaker 2: wear the oiler uniforms, and every time y'all playing, it's oilers.
Speaker 3: I like that decision.
Speaker 5: The best one, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's changed that rule in the league because we wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Be able to wear when we played him.
Speaker 5: Ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you cannot wear those uniforms. But I'm saying
Speaker 2: the O. G. Houston Oiler, like if y'all beat the Titans.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the proposal is it's up for grabs by y'all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially the trophy game. Okay, you know that y'all
Speaker 2: be able to wear it.
