1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I found out probably draft night when he and my

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: lady were watching and I saw Josh got drafted. I'm like, well,

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: probably moving aside at this point time.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: I see you getting younger.

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: I wish a lot of room. Can be very hostile,

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 3: very competitive, but that's not what I felt here. Like

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 3: from the first day I got here, I was comfortable.

8
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 4: You know, Coach Quinn was talked about brotherhood. This is

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 4: the epitiment what brotherhood is all about.

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: Would be the best tackle in the league next to

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: you on the other side.

12
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 4: It's like a great opportunity. When I was in town,

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 4: I wish my mom was there. Everything too.

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: Beans as old lineman, you probably yourself from protecting a

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: guy like that, you know, and not just him, but

16
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: like even the running backs, everybody, to give them a

17
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: chance to go out there and shine. That's why I

18
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: pride myself.

19
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 4: In the day. This is Jaydon Danes football team. They

20
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 4: believe in Jaydon Danes, and I think that makes it different.

21
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: And if you believe in your quarterback, your defense gonna

22
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 4: play better, your offensive line, everybody else gonna play better.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Command this family. Welcome in to season three of The

34
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: had just put paying the paper. You were a rookie.

35
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: You didn't even do Next Man Up last year because

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,640

Speaker 1: Kind of just get like three months off that's like

41
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: needed after that season. But it was good, man, Like

42
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I kind of knew what it had to work on,

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: you know, like that first one where you kind of

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: just get until you get drafted.

45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Everything's going around.

46
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: You have like your Senior Bowls and your draft stuff.

47
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: You don't really know where you're supposed to go. Like

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: then you get here and you're just kind of following orders,

49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: But you know, that offseason was really big, just like

62
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: hectic time coming along. But when I were able to

63
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 1: start playing, we started playing in this past offseason, so

64
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,480

00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,520

70
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Right that year flash by. Have you had a chance

71
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: to really reflect on what your rookie year was or

72
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: have you just been so low then on the next

73
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: season that you haven't really got time.

74
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: Yet, Noah, for sure.

75
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: You know those first couple weeks, I went back home

76
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: to Germany obviously and kind of just detached from everything,

77
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of reconnected with family that I wasn't really talking

78
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: to just because you know, the season gets kind of

79
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: long and you kind of try to stay in that tunnel.

80
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: But when I came back, I went right back to training,

81
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: just went back to Fortworth, and that's kind of where

82
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I reflected on, not just like my game boss, so

83
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: like where was at with like recovery things, connecting with

84
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: people because I'm already like a bad Texter as it is,

85
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: but you know it's important to like be there and

86
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: talk to your family, to your friends, just because you

87
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: know they're worried about you, like what happens to you

88
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: on the field obviously. So there's a lot of things

89
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: that I could reflect on, like how I live my

90
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: life on and off the field a lot better going

91
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: into the season, just being more structured, kind of knowing

92
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: what's going like coming on just playing a lot better.

93
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: What made that stand out to you?

94
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 3: Right?

95
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: Like when you sit back and look at how the

96
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 2: season went, what makes you say that, Okay, I need

97
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: to do these things like reconnecting with people, different things

98
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: like that. What made you feel that way?

99
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's just a lot of times where

100
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: people were reaching out to me first, and it's like

101
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, how you doing it, Like

102
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: it's been like weeks since we talked.

103
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: It didn't really like I didn't notice it at first.

104
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just important to me to have

105
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: those people around and kind of, you know, because they're

106
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: my supposed system if their friends or family, so it's

107
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: also important to kind of let them into my world

108
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: at times because everybody's excited.

109
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: My family's really excited.

110
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: About the opportunity I got and the blessings I've been

111
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: I've been given, so you know, it's also right for

112
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: them to be here and kind of enjoy that too.

113
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of what the communication is about too, not

114
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: just like the materialistic stuff, but also just the moments

115
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: sharing practice, like how practice was, how games are, how

116
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: my day to day is Like they're interested in that

117
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: stuff and they they love me, so I also want

118
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: to like give back to them to be able to

119
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: be there.

120
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: And I think I think a lot of people understand

121
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: that aspect of what this game does right, because yes,

122
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: your NFL player, Yes you're making a good amount of

123
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: money here, right, You're following your dreams, but you're also

124
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: away from your family. You're also a young man who

125
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: has family in another country and many different places. You

126
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: said your lady just moved in with you. Was there

127
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: a time during last season where it hits you and

128
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 2: you were like, man, I really need my community here.

129
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: Was there a time there was like I, like you said, like,

130
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: I'm from Germany obviously, so like I'm really used to

131
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: being away from family, Like I never really needed my

132
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: family around, but last year I feel like was the

133
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: first time where there's things like moving to my first

134
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: like house, like actually signing the lease for it, having

135
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: to do all these things in My fiance was moved

136
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: into November, so I was alone, and there's like a

137
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: lot of things I questioned about. I was like, I

138
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: wish like my parents were here, or my sister. You know,

139
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: she's six years older, so she already went through a

140
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: lot of these things I'm going through just planning life.

141
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: And then my dad obviously was like an.

142
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Athlete, he knows about certain things, so you know, having

143
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: them around would make things a lot easier.

144
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: But you know, that's why that phone.

145
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: So that's why it's important for me also just to

146
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: call them kind of get on the phone, get there,

147
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: get their opinions on things, and also just just share

148
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: some thoughts.

149
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: And I think what helps too as being in a

150
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 2: building where it is that family atmosphere, and that's what

151
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: you hear from every guy, even once that come in

152
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,359
Speaker 2: on their first day, they say, oh, this is different,

153
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: this is a brotherhood.

154
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: Man.

155
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: How have you been able to lean on your teammates

156
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: veterans and things like that during those times where you know,

157
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: you have questions where you're getting your first house, You've

158
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: never been a rookie before, you've never been on the

159
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: road doing this. How are you able to lean on

160
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: your teammates?

161
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know that's what a lot of

162
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 3: guys have been saying.

163
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: I've been around me is like you want to you know,

164
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: the locker room can be very hostile, very competitive, but

165
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: that's not what I felt here.

166
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 3: Like from the first day I got here, I was comfortable.

167
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 3: You know.

168
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: It wasn't about like, oh, they drafted this guy so

169
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: he might be playing this position.

170
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: It was just about welcome to the family.

171
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys last year were also

172
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: coming in that off season, so obviously like we're still jelling,

173
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: which was cool, But yeah, there was never any talk

174
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: about like on the field stuff and competitiveness. Obviously that's there,

175
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: like we're all competitives, we all want to earn a

176
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: spot and play, but that was never really like a

177
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: discourse in the locker room or like in our room,

178
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: like we're always trying to make each other better. And

179
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: for me, there's like guys like last year we had

180
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Conrince Lucas who helped me a lot on the field,

181
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: and then Nick and Drew like they helped me a

182
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 1: lot with just in general things like on the field,

183
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I was able to

184
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: get better on. And like you said, when I had

185
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: any questions about like where's this around this area? Where

186
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: can I get food spots? To like how do I

187
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: handle some financials now that I have like this set

188
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: some you know, because they obviously have experience with that.

189
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: So I thought I could go to anybody in this

190
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: building about anything. You don't get any type information I need.

191
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: That's a beautiful thing to have to especially for somebody

192
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: like you who comes in and we know this is

193
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: an athletic freak. Right here is somebody that's versatal, is

194
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: somebody that can play on any position on the offensive line.

195
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 2: You got to play tackle, looked great. But then you

196
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: come into this year and DT says it moving a

197
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: big guy inside man. We're going to take advantage of

198
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: all that athleticism. First things first, when did you find

199
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 2: out that you were going to be making a position change?

200
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: And what was that like for you? Because you're still

201
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: very young man, that's tough to make those pivots.

202
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm just grateful.

203
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: I was able to play a lot of positions through college,

204
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: so I kind of have some experience. Obviously the next

205
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: level is completely different, but you kind of already know

206
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: certain things about the position.

207
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 3: But y'all found out probably draft.

208
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Night when my lady were watching and I saw Josh

209
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: got drafted. I'm like, well, probably moving aside at this point,

210
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: but you know, I like, I'm not really surprised by it,

211
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: because the first thing that I said when I got here,

212
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: just like when we talked on the film when they

213
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: signed out T is like wherever y'all need me at, Like,

214
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it, And they've been very great with

215
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: communicating with me about everything, you know, giving me like

216
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: a lot of time in the off season to train

217
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: adjusted to my position.

218
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: You know, I was in Dallas.

219
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: Working with an online guy and that gave me enough

220
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: time to work those two weeks with him at left

221
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: guard to kind of get comfortable before coming in. So

222
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: it's been really cool the way that they handled that

223
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: and also like tied me into.

224
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: A lot of this conversation.

225
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 2: How has it been as the player being on that field,

226
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: being somewhere different? You said, you got to work, but

227
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: two weeks to seem like a lot of talk fear

228
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: for a brand new position. What has it been, like, Man,

229
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 2: it's been good.

230
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, Like like I said, I have some experience

231
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: and it was really just about getting that comfortable there.

232
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: Like I always talk about is like aiming points are different,

233
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: the way things happen, the quickness, the amount of strength

234
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: is obviously different from tackle.

235
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: Like a tackle, you dance a lot.

236
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: You got to be patient at God is just getting

237
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: your hands on somebody and just wrestling. So it's like

238
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: getting that mindset. Obviously, change just takes you know. Camp

239
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: is like the best part of it because you put

240
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: pads on every day. You have guys like ken La,

241
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: who's one of the most frequently like huge humans I've met. Yes,

242
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a hard worker, so I appreciate

243
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Like we talk a lot after practice

244
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: when we're in camp and talked about like, well I

245
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: can do better at guard versus like what I might

246
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 1: have done good, what he like then tries to work

247
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: off of. So like that like kind of working mindset

248
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: we have on the team is like such a huge

249
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: like benefit to wanting to get better and also just

250
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: being able to get better.

251
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: But other than that's been good.

252
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: It's like kind of just like a day to day

253
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: process of like just building building blocks and it's getting

254
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: better every day.

255
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 2: And I'm sure it's like that for the rest of

256
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: your career, right, You're always constantly building. But one thing

257
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: that I've been very impressed with with the staff in

258
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 2: front office is all these young guys got old heads

259
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: and old he's in the building a world that have

260
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 2: found so much success around you. They bringing a god

261
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: like Laramie tunsel right, future Hall of Famer arguably man.

262
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: What has it been like being able to play alongside him,

263
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: not only learn from him talking, but just being able

264
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 2: to watch how he works and how all pro gets

265
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: done when it comes to business.

266
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, aside from just like being able to

267
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: talk to him about the game, Like my game has

268
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: changed so much just playing next to him, but not

269
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: even talking about what we should do different, but just

270
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: like playing next to him, seeing how he communicates on

271
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: the field, Like it turned my communication up by like

272
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: one thousand percent, And that's something that I want to

273
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: focus on this year, just because you know, the game

274
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: slows down a lot more in year two, so.

275
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: Like communication is a lot better.

276
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: You're able to process a lot quicker, and just him

277
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: being there like talking like that, it kind of like

278
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: pushes it wrong on the whole wole line. So everybody's

279
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: constant communicating, you know, stuff like that, and then you know,

280
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: it's like things like him being able to be so

281
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: cool and like lay back is like one of the

282
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: biggest benefits I feel like to young guys, Like I

283
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: was able to go to Auburn where he trains at

284
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: this offseason for a week and just like hang out

285
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: with him work out, you know, just to see how

286
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: like how much you tail he has to his workouts

287
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: and how it like reconnects to the game. Like I

288
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: told him, like, I might be here like every offseason

289
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: training with you. I don't know if I have to

290
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: pay you or your guy, but like you know, it's

291
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 1: just like the that's like what makes him different than

292
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: anybody else is just like the stuff that he does

293
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: that nobody sees, you know, and being able to learn

294
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: from something like that, and even for Josh like first

295
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: year and you got like the best tackle in the

296
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: league next to.

297
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: You on the other side, is like a great opportunity.

298
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: And it's a great opportunity for you as well, because

299
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: on the flip side, like you said, it's Josh Conley Jr.

300
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: A rookie offensive lineman coming in here for the first time,

301
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 2: just like you did last year. Man, how have you

302
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: been able to know it's tough only a year two guy? Right,

303
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: it's hard to think of yourself as a veteran, but

304
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: you're on that way. How have you been able to

305
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: help ease his transition in and kind of help him

306
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: get through some of those hurdles that you were going through.

307
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, there's not.

308
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: A lot that I have to like, Wow, he's that

309
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: locked in, Like yeah, it's not even just locked in

310
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: but like he came in and he was acting like

311
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: he knew what was going on. Like obviously you have

312
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: to like get used to this by in like the area,

313
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: like the environment you're in. But like first practice, he

314
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: was already knew what he had to do, plans that

315
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: he worked on with og terms of what he had

316
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: to work on, Like it was impressive how he handled it,

317
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: and I got excited. Like the only thing that I

318
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: tell all the rookies is like when we get like

319
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: rest days, you know, you know you want to like

320
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: y'all got this trainer for the next week when we

321
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: got off, it was like, just take the rest days.

322
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: It's a long season. That's the one thing I learned

323
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: that rookie year. You went through all that stuff from

324
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: January till now. I was like, whenever you got it

325
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: off day, like do some low, low maintenance stuff. Don't

326
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: push it because I mean, your body's going to need

327
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: that rest. But it's really just things that I learned

328
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: from that I teach him. Like everything else. He has

329
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: like great guys in the room obviously that he can

330
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: learn from a lot better than from me. But just

331
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: like normal stuff that I took as from a rookie

332
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: last year, especially in the new system that we're in

333
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: that I kind of just try to tell him and

334
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: all the other rookies what they could do better.

335
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 2: It's crazy even talking to you right now, I can

336
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: hear and see the maturity because again, last time we

337
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: said we see each other all the time and say

338
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: what's up. The last time we sat down like this,

339
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: you were truly a rookie, hadn't even touched the field yet.

340
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 2: So it's really dope to see how you've progressed. And

341
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 2: a big part of that progression, I'm sure something you've

342
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: been helping Josh fruit as well is that camaraderie and

343
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: that chemistry between you and your starting quarterback. Right we

344
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: didn't know what that was going to look like because

345
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: both of you guys rookies, y'all had not played on

346
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: the field yet. However, you guys had a full season together,

347
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: and what a season it was, man, a historic rookie

348
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: season for Jaden Daniels. Now, what has it been like

349
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: not only getting to play with the athlete that is

350
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 2: Jading Daniels, but getting to know the man that is

351
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: Jaden Dane.

352
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, we're both kind of introverted people,

353
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: so we don't share like a bunch of words. But

354
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean I have all the love for Jayden, you know,

355
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: not just like what he does on the field, obviously

356
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: he's in my as the best quarterback in the league,

357
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: and then what he does, but off the field, like

358
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: the things that he does for the community, the way

359
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: that he handles the fans that come up to him.

360
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, he always wants to give back, and you

361
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: know that makes you only want to play for such

362
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: a guy even more and protect them because he goes

363
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: through the links that he goes to the to put

364
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 1: his best foot out there. And as the old lineman,

365
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: you pride yourself and protect a guy like that, you know,

366
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: and not just him, but like even the running backs everybody,

367
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: to give them a chance to go out there and shine.

368
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: That's why I pride myself in It's like as an

369
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: old Liman, I feel like if you're a true Allama,

370
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: you don't need all that shine like you just want

371
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: to make sure that the guys around you are able

372
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: to perform, because every play for us is a performance,

373
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: but you need to be able to give them a chance.

374
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: You know, there's gonna be that one play for them

375
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: where they can go and show off who they are,

376
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: and we need to make sure that that plays every

377
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: play for us. So, you know, I'm just happy that

378
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I'm able to protect a guy like him, like a

379
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: generational player, that I'm able to be there while he's here.

380
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: It's like, it's pretty cool.

381
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 2: And they were so happy to have somebody like you

382
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: here protecting j Dale's a Lara via Josh and all

383
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: the other guys. And before we let you go, man,

384
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: we're a week away from the start of the season.

385
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 2: You're moving into a new position. Man, what is Brandon

386
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: Coleman's expectations for himself coming into YouTube?

387
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's obviously I have like my positional

388
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: things like wanting to get better at the position every week.

389
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's a building block throughout the year, which

390
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I saw last year too. It's kind of like the

391
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: similar situation didn't have preseason, So it's just building off

392
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: of every week during the season communicating a lot more

393
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: and then yeah, it's really just kind of getting stronger

394
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: every week. You know, as everybody goes on, like your

395
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: body starts to wear down, you start to get tired.

396
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's like once a week builds up. But

397
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: one thing I have is like to keep the you know,

398
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: the foot on the pedal and kind of just keep

399
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: giving gas. And that's kind of what we also want

400
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: to do as a team. You know, you don't want

401
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: to slow down. You don't ever want to do that.

402
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: And this year, now that kind of have a year

403
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: under my belt, I know what's coming, I'm able to

442
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: lot about them as leaders and this team as a

443
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: whole and just to be a part of man makes

Speaker 4: me feel real good.

445
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: Mister Doug. I love your perspective because you've been around

446
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 2: longer than most people in this building. You have seen

447
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 2: so many different things happen here for Washington, and now

448
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 2: you're a part of this almost a resurgence of sorts. Man,

449
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: What has that been like from you and your perspective

450
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: after all you've been through with Washington.

451
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 4: Well, let me say that I've been here going on

452
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 4: twelve years, and I can say the first teen you know,

453
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 4: I was in a position and you think that's the

454
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: way that the league is supposed to be rand. But

455
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: the last two years showed me a whole different perspective

456
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 4: how things are done and the guys that are coming

457
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: here in the ownership. Man, you can't say enough about

458
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 4: the ownership. But they have done with this team, you know,

459
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 4: mister Harris and all other guys that's partner with him,

460
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 4: Man has coming here and let them realize that the

461
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: most important thing was this football team. And they put

462
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 4: their money where their mouth was and coach Quinn and

463
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 4: Adam and Lance and David, they did what they had

464
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 4: to do, along with all the scouts and everybody that's

465
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: on the road, and they put together a great team,

466
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 4: great great character, a really culture team that believe in

467
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: each other. You know, coach Quinn always talk about brotherhood.

468
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: This is the epitiment what brotherhood is all about.

469
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,920
Speaker 2: You get to see things done the right way. Can

470
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: you elaborate on one of those things are for you

471
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: and a front office that is the right way because

472
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: you have an issue respective because you were a player.

473
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: You were a player and now you're part of that

474
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: front office. Two very different worlds. How's it been? Well?

475
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 4: You know, for me, what I've seen along the way

476
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: is how they choose players per se. You know, you

477
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 4: had a team. You can have a team and you

478
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: just this player that player because he's this, he's dad.

479
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: Let's bring them in. But at the end of the day,

480
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 4: they don't mix. And what has happened here, you know,

481
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 4: they make sure the guys that they bring in and

482
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 4: have good character, love football, that's the most important thing,

483
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: and want to be a part of it. And the

484
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: last two years that had happened here and I've seen

485
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 4: it happen. Man, it makes me feel good that at

486
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 4: this stage of my career, you know, I can see

487
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 4: it done right and be a part of it.

488
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: And that's that's really what you are. You're not only

489
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: a part of it, you having a close up look.

490
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 2: You're in those draft rooms with Adam Peters, and that's

491
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: what's gotten his bread and butter. Right, everybody's saying, this

492
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 2: guy knows how to draft, getting to be in that

493
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 2: war room, getting to be a part of this decision making.

494
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 2: What has that been like for you and how has

495
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 2: it been watching a guy like Adam Peters really get

496
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: into his own the first two years of the gym.

497
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 4: Well, just listening to and listening and talking about the

498
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,239
Speaker 4: players along with all the coaches that come in there

499
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: and talk about the players, and whatever two bits that

500
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 4: you have, you can add it to it. But at

501
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: the end of the day when they make a decision,

502
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: it's going to be mostly Adam and Dan gonna come

503
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 4: up with a decision that after they listen to everybody.

504
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 4: That's the good thing about Adam, the fact that he

505
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 4: don't mind listening to you. And that's what has happened

506
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: around here. And if you look around these coaches, man,

507
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 4: they all feel like they're part of it. And I

508
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: think that makes it difference.

509
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 2: When you get to evaluate right, because I know you're

510
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: watching that film. I know you want to give as

511
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 2: good advice as possible. So when you're watching these quarterbacks,

512
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: it's a different league, different college football than it was

513
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: when you play collegeotball, different NFL than it was. What

514
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: has it been like breaking down quarterbacks because the game

515
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: has changed so much.

516
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not the easiest thing in the world because

517
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: you got to look at so many things. You know,

518
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: you look at them from behind, from the end zone,

519
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 4: copy and you watch the quarterback, but see what he's watching,

520
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 4: how he moved his feet, how he delivered the football,

521
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: and cool up under pressure you got to have. You

522
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: got to have some coolness up under pressure man, just

523
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 4: like you. And then you know, when you look at it,

524
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 4: you got to, you know, put your own spin on it.

525
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 4: Everybody gonna have a different opinion of whoever they looking

526
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 4: at it, whoever they're grading. But you got to stand

527
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 4: on your opinion when you see something. You got to

528
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: this how I saw it, and listen to other people

529
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: and see how they see it.

530
00:20:59,040 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: You know.

531
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: But it's good when you're sitting in that room and

532
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 4: you get what you think what he is, and you

533
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: listen to other people and they almost kind of like

534
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 4: the same thing. Make you feel good because you realize

535
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 4: you're not as worse as you think you are.

536
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: You like, I still got it. I can still do

537
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 2: this thing. Mister Doug. When you were in the room

538
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: and you got to see a guy like Jaden Daniels

539
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 2: get drafted, I'm sure everybody in that room was on

540
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: the same record with Jaden Daniels. You got to see

541
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 2: him get drafted. You're a big part of his rookie

542
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: year and that story of you being able to help

543
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 2: mentor him as you go into year two for Jaden

544
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: Daniels his sophomore year, what have you seen from the

545
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: young man as you've been able to help him grow?

546
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 4: Nothing but improvement. You know you think about last year,

547
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 4: but just watching him, man, that would make us feel

548
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: so good. It make me feel good watching see how

549
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 4: he get along with all the other players and how

550
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 4: the other players come to him and realize that this

551
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 4: is his football team at the end of the day,

552
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 4: this is Jayden Danes football team. And that's not all

553
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: bad because they believe in Jaydon Daniel and I think

554
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 4: that makes it different. And if you believe in your

555
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 4: quarter back, your defense, gonna play better, your offensive line,

556
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: everybody else gonna play better. And just watching Jaden throw

557
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 4: the football, Howie Mineu was around the other guys. I

558
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: watched him today and him coming off the field, we

559
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: walked down the whole sideline and shook everybody hand that

560
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,959
Speaker 4: was on offense. That says a lot about who he

561
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 4: really is.

562
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: And doing the right things right, doing those little things

563
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: at such a young age. He hasn't even hit year

564
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: two yet. Have you seen anything like a Jaden Daniels before,

565
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 2: Because you've played there, you know what it's like. You

566
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 2: know the pressure that's on a franchise quarterback. Have you

567
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: seen anything like Jenny and Dais before?

568
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 4: I think was what it really has helped Jaden is

569
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: the fact that he stayed in college this whole turn.

570
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 4: You know, had an opportunity to play a lot of football,

571
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 4: see a lot of things. You know, guy won the Heisman,

572
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 4: he won everywhere he's being He won as a freshman,

573
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 4: he won as a senior. And I think it helped

574
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 4: him when he walked into here. It was just a

575
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: matter of him getting in here and making the adjustments, yes,

576
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 4: of what the pro game was all about. And that

577
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 4: was easy because Bobby Wagner and Zach and those guys

578
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 4: made it easy for him to just relax and play football.

579
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 4: And last year, you know he did that. You know,

580
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: you didn't see him rattle. You didn't see him get rattled.

581
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 4: He wasn't in a rush. He played Jayden Ding's game

582
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 4: and Cliff Cliff did a great job with him, and

583
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: it gave him things that he can handle. And now

584
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 4: is in the second year, and I think he can

585
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: handle anything because the way he handles stuff and he's

586
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 4: always cool of underpressure.

587
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: You mentioned Jackers and Bobby Wagner. Those are possibly two

588
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 2: future Hall of Famers, right, and you're talking about them.

589
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: Looking at Jaden a rookie as a leader, you've been

590
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: a quarterback before, you've been in that huddle. Can you

591
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 2: elaborate how tough that is to be able to gain

592
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 2: respect from your entire team, especially as a.

593
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: Rookie, well, especially at a young age your first year.

594
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 4: You know, I remember when I was in Tampa, and

595
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 4: you know, being a rookie quarterback, you just you have

596
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 4: to look around to see who's watching you, who gonna

597
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: patch you on the back, and everything like that. And

598
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: I think during my time they wanted to wait and see.

599
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 4: You know, it's one of those situations here, and you

600
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 4: know they grab it to him right away because they

601
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 4: realized they had something specially in Jaydon. And you know,

602
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 4: Jaydon had done it well in college and they expect

603
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 4: him to do the same thing when he got here.

604
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: And for any quarterback going into year or two, right,

605
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: you're the standard for quarterbacks, right, Like it's a person

606
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 2: like you is somebody they would want to ask, Hey,

607
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 2: what do I do to prepare for year two? What

608
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: do I do to find success in year two? It's

609
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 2: not just for Jaden but any quarterback asking what would

610
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 2: be your advice to get past that rookie year and

611
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 2: get over what they call that sophomore slump.

612
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I hear people talk about the sophomore slump. Man,

613
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 4: It's not about the sophomore slump. It's about the individual.

614
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 4: And I think what Jayden has done and what he

615
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: do now is doing what he's always done, and that's prepared.

616
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 4: The most important thing is preparing for the game and

617
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 4: having a good team around you, which I think he

618
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 4: does now. And he don't come in here, know later

619
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 4: than he did last year. Yeah, he literally, you know,

620
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: and I think that in itself makes a difference because

621
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 4: he comes in here to prepare for the game, and

622
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 4: I think you're not going to catch Jayden off guard

623
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 4: saying he's not ready to play this game. And a

624
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 4: lot of the things don't worry him. You know, you

625
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 4: get a lot of young quarterbacks they worried about branding themselves. Now,

626
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: one time I heard Jane and Dane worried about branding himself.

627
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, his plate on brand him.

628
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 4: I think that's the most important thing.

629
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that, like you mentioned these things,

630
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 2: but this isn't something that like you're teaching gim or

631
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: other people are teaching them. This seems to be a

632
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: nate for Jaden. Now there's to be something that like

633
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 2: his family raised him to be. What you think that's true?

634
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 4: Well, I think I think the biggest thing that Jacon

635
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: got gun for MA also is the fact that his mom.

636
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: Is always with and we're so lucky to have her.

637
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: Oh my god, man. You know, I had a chance

638
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 4: to talk to Jaden about a week or so ago,

639
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: and we sitting there, you know, and we talked about

640
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 4: some things, and I say, hey, man, your mom has

641
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: been a blessing to you, and she has been. You're

642
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 4: talking about a young man who is a grown man

643
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 4: who really loves his mom and he respects everything she does,

644
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 4: and she respects everything he does. And I think at

645
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 4: the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

646
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: You know, you hear all these people out there on

647
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: social media, you know, trying to make certain things about

648
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 4: his mom. Right hey, man, that's his mom and he

649
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 4: loves his mom, and I'm for that.

650
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: And you've been in positions of Jayden Daniels. I'm sure

651
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 2: you've been in this farm, even me and my job.

652
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 2: Right well, I wish my mom was right outside this

653
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 2: door right now because I want that support.

654
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: When I was in town, I wish my mom was

655
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 4: there every day too.

656
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 3: The Red Beans.

657
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: You don't say it. There's an importance there. And I

658
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: think that it's easy to judge Jaden and Daniels because

659
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 2: we haven't seen necessarily that before from a rookie quarterback.

660
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: But you've played the game. You're somebody that found success

661
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: at every single level. Can you speak to the importance

662
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: on why having that community there, having somebody like your mother,

663
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 2: a family member, a trusted person during all this madness

664
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 2: is so valuable.

665
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 4: Well, you know, we don't know what happened in Jade

666
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: and Daniel's mind when he goes home. I'm sure there's

667
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 4: a lot of things on his mind. Sure, I'm sure

668
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 4: he got some people that he can call is his

669
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 4: mom or dad, whoever and talk about certain things, you know.

670
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: And for me and him, you know, we're going to

671
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 4: talk about so much because in here, you know, I

672
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 4: don't want to tell him anything about it really playing

673
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 4: the game because he got coaches. He got about three

674
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 4: coaches in his room that played the position of quarterback,

675
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 4: and he don't need another one job with Jayden is

676
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 4: just to keep it on the straightened error, you know,

677
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 4: just talk about other things off the field and things

678
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 4: like that. That's what him and I do more than anything,

679
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 4: because I think as a player, everything that I would

680
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 4: lack for him to do, he's doing it. So at

681
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 4: the end of the days, that's what it's all about.

682
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: It that's a beautiful problem to have, right Yeah. But

683
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 2: I love hearing that because those are the conversations right

684
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: there outside of football where you get to really know

685
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: who the man is, what the man is about. So

686
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: when you've had those conversations with Jayden, and I see

687
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 2: you smiling right now. I'm sure it'll hit you with

688
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: some things and you're just like, man, this kid's wise

689
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: around as just as that. It is getting to learn

690
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: and meet the man that is Jaden Daniels outside the field.

691
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: Well, it's important, you know, think about it. And when

692
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: we drafted Jayden, you know Adam who came to me

693
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 4: and said, why do you an't tell me you knew Jaden.

694
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 4: I've been knowing Jayden since twenty eighteen, number one, and

695
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 4: you know I always kept up with it, man, and

696
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 4: that was important. And you know my conversation with him

697
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 4: today is no different than it was then. Man, it's

698
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: about him the individual, the young man, and just seeing

699
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 4: him go on the straight now, to me, that makes

700
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 4: me feel good because at the end of the day, man,

701
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: that's what it's all about. Playing that position that he playing.

702
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 4: He in a position that takes so much, so much

703
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 4: time and effort to play that position. Not the talent

704
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 4: he got talent, but it takes a whole lot of

705
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 4: other things that goes into it. And you just try

706
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: to keep his mind straight every morning. You know, when

707
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: I see him the first time I asked him and

708
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 4: say you all right, man, he said, yeah, you know.

709
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 4: And if you see me down the hall, he said, Dougie,

710
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 4: you know, and we wave at each other. And that's

711
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 4: the way it is.

712
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 2: And just having you in this building is so valuable

713
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 2: for so many reasons. You do so much for these players,

714
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: but you also do a lot for the world. You

715
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 2: do a lot for the community. I have these cards here.

716
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: People know that they I don't do cards, but I

717
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: had to do cards secause I want to make sure

718
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: I read this right. The President's Lifetime Achievement Award. The

719
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: award is the highest civilian honor in America for service

720
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 2: and volunteerisms. And you wore awarded that award earlier this

721
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 2: month out at Howard. How special was it to be

722
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 2: honored for not the work that you do on the field,

723
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: because you get that level all the time, but to

724
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 2: be for just being a great human.

725
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 3: You know.

726
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 4: The crazy thing about that that award was actually on

727
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: my birthday. It's August the name yeah, because I mean,

728
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: I didn't say it, you know. And this has been

729
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: like about it was about five or six months ago

730
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: when they first called and they told me when the

731
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: award was going to be presented. I remember telling my wife,

732
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 4: I said, man, that's my birthday. You know, usually we

733
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 4: got something playing for my birthday, But a day like that,

734
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: you know, it was all about accepting the award and

735
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: we was able to go to dinner that night.

736
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: You know.

737
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: But when you do certain things a lot of time,

738
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 4: it ain't about getting rewarded for it. It's about doing

739
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 4: what you think is right. And everything I've done in

740
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 4: my life, even as a player and after the player,

741
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: it ain't for the rewards. It ain't for money. It's

742
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 4: because I want to see somebody else, because I remember,

743
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: you know, when I was younger, I had somebody pushing me.

744
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: I had been towards I had people telling me what

745
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 4: I can do and what I shouldn't do, And to me,

746
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 4: that was the best thing that happened to me and

747
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 4: for me doing the things that I do today, I'm

748
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 4: just trying to help people just to get along and

749
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: do the right thing and make sure that they're successful.

750
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: I think that's that's what it's that's what it's all about.

751
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: That's what it's all about. But I love how humble

752
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: you are about it, because this said here. When I

753
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: was doing the research over four thousand hours of service

754
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: minimum to even be considered for an award like this,

755
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: and you got this recognition. I think it's very interesting

756
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: to get the recognition in the DMV, a place where

757
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: you've received a lot of different accolading recognition. You've got

758
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: the Super Bowls, you got the Super Bowl MVP. Then

759
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: you get a recognition like this, which I feel like

760
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 2: maybe just as special or maybe even more special. Where

761
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 2: does this accoladeing recognition rank in all the things Doug

762
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 2: Williams has accomplished.

763
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 4: Well, that's that's a tough one then, you know, because

764
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 4: when you look at it realistically, you got to say,

765
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 4: that's one of the one that's up at the top.

766
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 4: But at the same time, you got the Super Bowl,

767
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 4: you got you know, when I coached in high school, man,

768
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 4: I didn't think anything was better than coaching a young

769
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 4: team with fifteen, sixteen, and seventeen year old and you

770
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 4: go undefeated during the season. You know, that was the

771
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 4: rewarding to me. So it's just a lot of things

772
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 4: that have happened that is up there. But I got

773
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 4: to say that that award Lifetime Achievement award is one

774
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: that is special to me.

775
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,239
Speaker 2: When you think of what drew you to say, I

776
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: want to be a man of service. I want to

777
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: service my community. I want to service this world. I know,

778
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: for me, my service comes from my father. He taught

779
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 2: me how important it was to serve your community. Where

780
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: does your need and want to serve the community come from.

781
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 4: My oldest brother. To be honest with Robert Williams man

782
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 4: And you know, he's eighty four years old, and even

783
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 4: today he calls me by twice a week.

784
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: I called him.

785
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: If it was not for him, I can honestly say

786
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: that I don't know whether or not I'd be sitting

787
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: in his seat. I mean, he took me by his wings.

788
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 4: He was a professional baseball player. He hurt his arm

789
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 4: so he couldn't play anymore. He came back, he coached

790
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 4: at my high school, and every day, you know, I

791
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 4: followed him. I wanted to be like my oldest brother,

792
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: and that's to be a coach. And I did that well.

793
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 4: He went somewhere. I wanted to go with it. And

794
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: when I got old enough to be able to participate,

795
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: he made sure I did things right and wasn't going

796
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: to stray away and get off the straight and narrow.

797
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 4: You know, if it was not for Rob Williams, you know,

798
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 4: and I'll tell you anybody is I would not be

799
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 4: sitting here.

800
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: What would Robert Williams tell Doug Williams after finding out

801
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 2: that you won an award like this, what would you

802
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 2: say to you?

803
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 4: Well, he was disappointed that he couldn't be hit one,

804
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 4: but the good part about it that had it.

805
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 3: Online, so it nice.

806
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 4: Now he call and say, you know, he couldn't come,

807
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: but he would love to have been there. I think,

808
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 4: I really think that for him, I have made him

809
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 4: really proud, you know. And to me that means a

810
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: lot to me because I know when I can see

811
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 4: somebody who's proud of what I've done. And like I

812
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 4: said earlier, I don't do it for the reward. You

813
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 4: do it because you just want to help somebody.

814
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 2: And you know, I can say, we're all proud of you.

815
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 2: We're all so grateful for having you in the building,

816
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: for all the things you do on and off the

817
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: field for us. And another person that has really made

818
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: this community home, because this community wasn't your home at

819
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: one point, I mean not from here. But another person

820
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: who made this community home that's being honored Week one

821
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: is our guys at mass.

822
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm believing, man, But you're talking about real individual.

823
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: Man.

824
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 4: He most down there, if guy, and he loves it here,

825
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: and that's a good thing about it.

826
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: You know.

827
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: Nineteen eighty six, I came to DC and I fell

828
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 4: in love with the DMV and found out they loved

829
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 4: me back, and that what made it so good.

830
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 3: You know, That's what it's.

831
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: Like being here. Man.

832
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: I can't think of a better place other than home

833
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 4: to stay home. You know, DC means a lot to me,

834
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 4: and for what I've been able to do here in

835
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 4: DC and the way the people have taken to me.

836
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: Something that Santana always tells me is go where you're celebrated,

837
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: not where you're tolerated. And he truly feels that way

838
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: about the DMV. And we'll be able to celebrate him

839
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 2: together as he joins you and others into the Ring

840
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: of fan. Man, how great will that be? You got

841
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 2: to see him play on the field, you got to

842
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: see him advance as an analyst now and now he's

843
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 2: joining a very very special honor. Man, How happy are

844
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 2: you to be able to welcome him into.

845
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 4: That so deserving That's the most important thing when you

846
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 4: look at it. And then when you listen to him

847
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 4: on the podcast and everything else. Man, you say, hey, man,

848
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 4: you look at it. Look at his statue. Man, he's

849
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: bigger than his statue. That's the thing about it. You know,

850
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,400
Speaker 4: he lives bigger than his statue. When you listen to

851
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: him and you look at him as a player and

852
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: what he's done on the football field, you don't look

853
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 4: at him as a small individual. You look at him

854
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 4: as a big individual. That's how you got to take him.

855
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: And that's the way I look at him. I got

856
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 4: a lot of respect for Santana, man, and it just

857
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 4: makes me feel good.

858
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: And how valuable is it to have a guy in

859
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: the building when you have a jail and lane, a

860
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: rookie right that can be following his footsteps, a guy

861
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 2: like Terry who is currently following in his footsteps. How

862
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 2: valuab was it to have a guy like Santanamo's, guys

863
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 2: like fresh Smooth around here, for these young guys to

864
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: be able to pick their brain at any time.

865
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 4: I think. I think for the young guys, it goes

866
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 4: a long way when they can look and see a

867
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 4: guy who's done. It makes them feel good, you know,

868
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 4: especially when you know they close to him. They can

869
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 4: talk to him and ask him anything that they want to.

870
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: Man that people don't understand as a professional player, it

871
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 4: means a lot to them when they see guys who

872
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 4: had played before them and did it well to be

873
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 4: on the sideline watching.

874
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: Them do it. And I could tell you're probably on

875
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 2: a lot of things. You're proud of a lot of stuff.

876
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: You have so many great things going on, and you've

877
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: accomplished so much already. What is mister Doug, I call you,

878
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: mister Doug. It's Doug Williams. Most proud of man.

879
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 4: You know what. The most proud of thing, to be

880
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 4: honest with you at this particular time, is to know

881
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 4: and to be able to watch my son become the

882
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 4: quarterback coach in Atlanta.

883
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 3: Wow.

884
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 4: To mean having my opportunity to play in the NFL,

885
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 4: work in the NFL, had him work here with me

886
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 4: for a year, and to see him now has grown

887
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 4: up to be a thirty two year old young man

888
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 4: and he's the quarterback coach in Atlanta. To me, you know,

889
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 4: if I don't get a chance to see no more,

890
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 4: I feel pretty good about that. That's the most important thing.

891
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 2: That's so interesting because you do have so many individual accomplishments,

892
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: and you've also helped out so many people. Why is

893
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: that the thing that stands out to you and say,

894
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 2: you know what, that's really where my pride lies right now.

895
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 4: Well, that's part of my legacy. You know, I look

896
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 4: at it from that standpoint. Like you know, earlier this summer,

897
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 4: I got two sons and uh he called me and

898
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 4: an agent and my other son called me and they

899
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 4: wanted to spend a weekend with me. So we went.

900
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,320
Speaker 4: We went down to DC and we spent the weekend

901
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 4: together and we were just sitting at the wharf and uh,

902
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 4: he asked me and he said, Daddy, He said, what

903
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 4: would you want your legacy to be? And the only

904
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 4: thing I told him was, you know what, it's hard

905
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 4: for me to say that, but I think whatever my

906
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,760
Speaker 4: legacy is going to be between when I was born

907
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 4: and at the end in the dash And I said,

908
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 4: it all depends on what you want to put in it.

909
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: And your kids are that legacy.

910
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 3: Man.

911
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: You got your daughter out of USC about to have

912
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: a big season in that house. It been watching her

913
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 2: go into that star athlete role as well.

914
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 4: Well, you know, like I said, I talked about my

915
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 4: two sons, but ain't nothing like these six girls.

916
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: Dad.

917
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 4: You know, I laugh about it, but you know what

918
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 4: one thing I have found out girls would take care

919

920
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 4: six of them feel the same way. I think if

00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,959
Speaker 4: ever the fist fight, they'll tell me to move back, Daddy,

922

00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 4: I got a kid who's a counselor.

932
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: Man.

933
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 4: It's just been great just to know that what they're

934
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 4: doing and watching them be proud of it. Like I

935
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 4: always says, eight kids, six of them has graduated college.

936
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,239
Speaker 3: I got two Level two left.

937
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna get there. Family full of greatness, and I

938
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: love hearing that about your legacy. But a big part

939
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 2: of your legacy as well is the Burnie and gold

940
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 2: and all you did, all the sacrifices you made, all

941
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: the hard times, all the stories that will probably never

942
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 2: hear because they're too dark and too rough to even

943
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: go back there and play it. But a big part

944
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: of your legacy again is this burnie and gold. When

945
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: you look at where we're at now, the twenty twenty

946
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 2: five season, Man, we made it to the conference championship

947
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: for the first time in a long time. How are

948
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: you feeling about the outlook of this team for this year?

949
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 4: Well, you know, as being a part of his team,

950
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 4: you know, worst thing. I think for fans they can

951
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 4: say super Bowl and all that, but I think when

952
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: you're a part of it, you ride with what's happening.

953
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 4: And you know, it's too early to talk about the

954
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 4: Super Bowl because we hadn't played the game yet now yet,

955
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 4: the most important thing is playing the game and let's

956
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 4: see what it takes. I just feel good about this

957
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 4: season with the teams that we have, the people that

958
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 4: we have, and assuring number five makes a difference, and

959
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 4: with Terry coming back and de Bo and Erics and

960
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: all those people on offense, and you look over at

961
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 4: the defense, what has happened now. You know, people say

962
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 4: we don't have a pass rush, but I think we

963
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 4: got enough to take care of what we have to

964
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: do because we didn't have what we didn't have last

965
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 4: year and we did what we did, Amen, So I

966
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 4: think we're a lot better than what we were last year.

967
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: I agree, and I think we all can agree on that,
