20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 4: the street from the Cowboy practice field. How about that

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,520

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000

00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: Drew. Yeah, I remember. My only time but that I

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: think the biggest disappointment was my only time that I

54
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: was up for a modern day was my last year

55
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: of eligibility. That just means I didn't get the support,

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: you know, from the different organizations that I played for,

57
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: and that that that's just something I've come to grips with.

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: But you know when you're talking about, uh that one time, yeah,

59
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: one time I was up, you were the finalist, Yeah, yeah,

60
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden you went all the

61
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: way up there and everything. I went up there. I said,

62
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: you got the no, I got the call. When the

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,639

Speaker 2: us the instruction. They closed the door to our hotel room,

72
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,360

Speaker 2: We all commiserated. My baby brother was in there. But

85
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: you know what, the experience was fun. And I tell

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: people all the time as we talk about the disappointment,

87
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: I have been honored by people like yourself, guys that

88
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: are already in coaches that I helped win. I helped

89
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Belichick and parselves to their Super Bowl, one of their

90
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: Super Bowl wins. Those guys believe in me. You guys

91
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: believe in me, Guys trust me and all of that.

92
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: So to me, if I don't make it, and this

93
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: is real, if I don't make it, I'm fine with

94
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: that knowledge and this ain't no right, fine with that knowledge, right,

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: I'm ready to deal with that how it comes.

96
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 4: You know why you find because you got the respects

97
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: of your teammates, you know, that's all. I don't want it,

98
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: and I felt the same way. Maybe if it comes,

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 4: it comes, But I know my teammates respect men the

100
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: way you played the game, and that's right. So anyway,

101
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: that was tough in uh situation. I never got that

102
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 4: kind of close where I, you know, had to cry. Well,

103
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 4: I did cry. Well, I didn't go that centennial class.

104
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: Well, that was your advice to me, was, yeah, hey, man,

105
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: if you want to get in, maybe you should start crying.

106
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 4: You told me that, you told me, yeah, give it up,

107
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 4: give it up because they might think, uh think again. Yeah.

108
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 4: But anyway, I'm looking at the list of Hall of Famers.

109
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 4: You got fifty seven total receptions and interceptions in your career.

110
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 4: The top interception leader did you know who that is?

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: Bradley Paul Kraus, Krause, I get all the time eighty

112
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: one one.

113
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: You know what of his interceptions or overthrows? Yes, he

114
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 4: played so deep. You know when we did the Hell

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 4: Mary's thing, the one guy we had to get out

116
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: of the way, Not Nate right, not Bobby Bryant, was

117
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: Paul Kraus because he's gonna hang back there. He was late,

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: and he was late. He was late, he was late.

119
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: But anyway, he's all time. But I'm looking at the

120
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 4: guys that are in that you have more interceptions than

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: you know, Guys like Aneas Williams, Eric Allen who just

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: went in. Williams got fifty five, and even Len Barney,

123
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 4: oh my god, yes, the famous the best Lembarney number

124
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: twenty Oh yes, Mel Blunt, Willie Brown, Daryl Green and

125
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 4: all those. I'm rena Hall of famers, Okay, Dion ty Low.

126
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: Me and Tyl. We talked a lot. We talked a lot.

127
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: That's just sets like.

128
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna run out of breath name and all these

129
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,559
Speaker 4: Champ Valley, yeap, Jack Butler, he must be old school.

130
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: Bobby Dylon, old school man. And no renfro Fro. You

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: got Martin fro Larry Wilson, I played against him.

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: I think the distinction of that list is guys getting

133
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 2: interceptions as cornerbacks versus a safety. That good and I

134
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: think I got the majority of mine ninety percent of

135
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: my picks just playing cornerback, playing safety. As you talk

136
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: about his overthrows, and I respect all safety, especially somebody

137
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 2: like a Jake Rip. You know, the way this guy

138
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: was played, He's totally different from a crowd. So of

139
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: those guys, the way he played with the Baltimore Ravens.

140
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: You know, Belichick gives him all the credit in the

141
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 2: world about how he can cover so much ground, but

142
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 2: he doesn't cheat at it. He doesn't line up deep.

143
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: This guy's lined up at ten twelve yards and he

144
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: can make plays like a true safety. And then you know,

145
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: so those are the kind of guys that play safety. Well,

146
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: were talking about cornerback position. Mail n from myself, Champ Bailey,

147
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: Eric Allen, those guys. That's a prideful thing because we're

148
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: going up against guys like yourself. It's me and you.

149
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: There's no uh, you know, you can't like you don't

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: have it. You can't cheat and look at the quarterback

151
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: as you play. I got to react off of you.

152
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: That's the kind of pride that you take. Like you

153
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: take pride in beating us, we take that pride and

154
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: getting that pit man and just having that ability to

155
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: do that and to go one on one and be

156
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: taught by guys like yourself and then take that into

157
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 2: the game as an undrafted free agent. Oh man, I

158
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 2: took so much pride in that it's ridiculous.

159
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: And then most of the time you played, you played

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: after the mail blunt rule. I did you know the

161
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 4: one bump?

162
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, so we and you took advantage that one. God.

163
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: I love that, you know, because before that you couldn't

164
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: get off the line on Melbourn want.

165
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: And so now you have to be able to read routes.

166
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: I coach some kids every once in a while in

167
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: these little camps that they have in the summer, and

168
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 2: I tried to let them know, you can beat up

169
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: a guy the at the at the point of attack

170
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: all you want, but you have to read his route

171
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: and understand what he's trying to do. And that allowed

172
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 2: me to jump routes because one thing that I was

173
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: and this is once again no smoke, I was a

174
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 2: cowboy fan. So you know knowing your undrafted status, knowing

175
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: your lack of speed status, knowing your cageness status. That

176
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: is how I was as a in high school. Oh wow.

177
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: I was a wide receiver in high school, so I

178
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: never wanted to play defensive that I was horrible. I

179
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: was horrible. I mean playing against Lake Hollands junior high

180
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: I was at Forest Medals and I was at I was,

181
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: I was a dB and I was a free safety

182
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: and some dude ran by me on a post route.

183
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 2: I'm playing defensive back of the safety. No way I'm

184
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 2: supposed to give up a post race route. And I

185
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 2: started thinking, Man, I really suck at football. I started

186
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 2: playing basketball after that next thing, you know, getting trouble

187
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 2: in basketball. Have no no, no, no sports at all

188
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: to play my junior year and I go to my

189
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: high school coach, the late coach, Coach Allen Coach Allen

190
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: Holiday and uh he ended up. He passed on, and

191
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: I spoke at his funeral and told the story of

192
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 2: how he gave me the chance to get some structure

193
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: back in my life because I was. I was. I

194
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: was Buck Wilder at that time, very antagonistic about everything

195
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: that was going on in Texas. And and just you know,

196
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: around the world. So I think I was one of

197
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: those guys that always wanted to protest, and once I

198
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: got that part of it down, Uh, it allowed me

199
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: to be a type of a leader on the teams

200
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: that I played for. I was a voice for those

201
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: guys that didn't have a voice.

202
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: You went from Hamilton Park to ber Yes, yeah, yes,

203
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: that's the coach you were talking about right right holiday.

204
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: He was a guy. He allowed me to play spring

205
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: ball and next thing you know, I'm starting at free

206
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 2: safety for Berner High School my senior year and I

207
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: didn't play any sports.

208
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: So this is maybe well after that, you had a

209
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 4: good senior year that I did.

210
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: I had. I ended up leading the district and interceptions

211
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: with a That's what I do. Yeah, that's what I

212
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: do as a safety. It's easy, but at the cornerback

213
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: as a senior, but as a cornerback to be able

214
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 2: to cover routes, that was something that I didn't learn

215
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: until I got to Grambling. I got you and going

216
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: up against Doug Williams, you know, he was going for

217
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy. Coach Robinson was touting him. Not just

218
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 2: for Grambling. Coach Robinson was touting Doug Williams for all

219
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 2: black college quarterbacks that were out there, all of that for.

220
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 4: Maybe but him, Jimmy Ray up in Michigan, Michigan State,

221
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 4: maybe that might be might be it.

222
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: But but he was the only and first black college

223
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 2: quarterback to be up for the Heisman.

224
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

225
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: And I played with him him and being able to

226
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: be under his tutelage in regards to making plays and

227
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: seeing what the real football looks like. Coming from a

228
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: stud like him, it was a totally different look. When

229
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: Doug Williams left practice, it was easy. His standard was

230
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: so high that when his backups came in. Then that's

231
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: when freshmen like ourselves who were punching bags for a Doug,

232
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 2: we're tearing up the backups. And so then we start

233
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: to realize. And I know for myself, I started to

234
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 2: realize based on my teammates who gave me so much

235
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: love at Grambling, I start to realiz, hey, I am

236
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: pretty good because at first I didn't have the confidence.

237
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 2: When you at the HBCU, you got these big old brothers,

238
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: fast dudes, and I'm like, WHOA, what is Everything was

239
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: just I had to And but I had teammates that

240
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 2: told me they believed in me more than myself, like, wow,

241
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 2: is you better than this? And I was. You know,

242
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: so when you're in college, you get to sleep on

243
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: it that night every night, right, I know you did

244
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: when you were you slept every night like, man, what

245
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: what mistakes did I make? How can I not make

246
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: that mistake again? Because I'm tired of getting embarrassed and

247
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 2: I want to start. I want to play, And so

248
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: that was my mindset. So that was my motivation and

249
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: having to go against someone of that caliber, and we

250
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 2: talked about it on our podcast here. Iron sharp and iron,

251
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 2: that's that's biblical. Iron sharpens iron, and that's what happened

252
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: with me.

253
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: Amen. So that Doug Williams was that influence as a player,

254
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: player to player, But what about coach to player? You played?

255
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 2: What a pretty face this coach? Okay, but yes, it

256
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: started with coach Rob. I think the impression that was

257
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: made upon him in my regard was this guy comes

258
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: from a strong family, uh, which is what he was

259
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 2: kind of accustomed to. Strong mothers. My mom drove me

260
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 2: down there. You know, we were in the corvette. My

261
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: mom you know how my mom, my ma motty. My

262
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 2: mom was so pretty, and she stepped into that beautiful

263
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: she stepped on that campus. You know, Coach Rob understood

264
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: that she was for real. You know, she's pretty. But

265
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: now she's fighting for her son because I had been

266
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 2: going through a lot of stuff when her mom, her

267
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 2: and dad got divorced, and I overcame a lot to

268
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: get to that point. And she was not gonna let

269
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: me stop there. And so her along with Cherrelle, my

270
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: wife girlfriend at the time, I follow her the grambling Wow,

271
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: I followed the grandar Crell was going for. She was

272
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: going first, you know, and I'm like, wait a minute,

273
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: I gotta do something because I don't want to go

274
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: to East Texas State. And No, Harvey put put his

275
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 2: stamp on that. I know, Harvey Martin put his stamp

276
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: on that. I didn't want to go there because it's

277
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: just an extension of Burgner. I needed to be at

278
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: a place like Grant and being there that that culture, uh,

279
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 2: the standard that was set for me. That's exactly what

280
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: I needed. And they really other than parents and how

281
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: they raised you, that's something that brought me to where

282
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: I am today.

283
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it brought you a long way, bro, That's

284
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: that's what I'm saying, but it's always that foundation, that base,

285
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: you know, that makes the difference. And that is like

286
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: for me coming through high school football. My high school

287
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 4: football coaches did it the right way. They set the

288
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 4: necessary guidelines for discipline and what you need to do

289
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: to be an athlete or be successful at an athlete,

290
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 4: and you know, no matter what.

291
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 2: And here's the thing about athletes that are taught like that.

292
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: And people ask me who's my favorite. My best coach,

293
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: Eddie Rodd was the man. My father was my best period.

294
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 2: He was the one that showed me he went to

295
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: Prayer View A and M for a year. He actually

296
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: was the first person to go to college and his

297
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: family and so he set that standard for us. And

298
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: one thing he always taught me. I talk about it

299
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: all the time when I coach, even on podcast, you

300
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 2: gotta be where you're supposed to be. Son, you can't

301
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: be something. You gotta be where you're supposed to be

302
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: because that builds trust between you and your teammates and

303
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: the coach sees that you know what you're doing. So

304
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 2: that discipline you had was the same discipline that I had.

305
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: Meaning if you say cover two, cover three, I got

306
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 2: to be where I'm supposed to be, and they'll say, okay,

307
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: I can depend on that, dude, And I have to

308
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 2: do the drills correctly. I tell you that, you know this,

309
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: the drill we're gonna do. We're gonna break here and

310
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: break it. Then you gotta do that. And I was

311
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: able to follow those instructions. So it takes a little

312
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: bit of an intellect to show people that you can

313
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 2: play football. Even though it's a sport of being brutes,

314
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: it's also ap of intellects because you got to know,

315
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 2: if you are smart to receive your opponent, then you're

316
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: still winning the ball.

317
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 4: And a lot of that intellect is a preparation and

318
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 4: getting ready and ready to play. But you're you know,

319
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 4: it's the same thing. My dad was very much a disciplinarians.

320
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 4: We had no pass, no play in our house, way

321
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: before it came a thing had to be passed through Congress,

322
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 4: right and all that, you know, way before. But we

323
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 4: have the same similar story, man, the same similar story.

324
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,239
Speaker 4: It's it's amazing how it looks that way, you know,

325
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 4: between us. But coming into the leg you didn't get drafted.

326
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 4: What was that like? You know? I mean, I know

327
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: how it hurt. I know, and I've had seventeen rounds

328
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: of the draft exactly two players, I know exactly how many?

329
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 4: You know, what did you feel like that?

330
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 2: I think that.

331
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 4: First of all, did you work out when anybody was

332
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 4: telling you that, yeah you got it?

333
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 2: No? No, not like that, no one, no, no that

334
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: four six, four seven, forty no. You know, because they

335
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: come to Grambling looking for speed, yeah oh yeah, and

336
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: so they're thinking, well, this guy got eleven interceptions, he

337
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: led the nation. He's keeping up with these fast receivers

338
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: throughout all the HBCUs, he must be fast. And boy,

339
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: when they looked at that clock, they were like wait,

340
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: like no, wait, you know, so it didn't bode well

341
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: for me. But uh, I was still thinking that eleven interceptions,

342
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: no matter what level you're playing on, that means the

343
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 2: guy must know some football. Eleven interceptions at cornerback, not

344
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 2: one player at safety. I was not playing safety at

345
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: that time, so I knew I was ready. But and

346
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 2: so all it did was just steadied me for what

347
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: was to come.

348
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, eleven interceptions, yes, senior year, yes, and still in

349
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 4: good draft.

350
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 2: No.

351
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: Who were some of the do you remember defensive backs

352
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: that got drafted.

353
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 2: The late great Kenny Easily just passed that Kenny easily. Man,

354
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: those are the men. That's the same one, same year

355
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 2: eighty one, nineteen eighty one said those two guys they

356
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: were the standard. Of course, Lawrence Taylor was was the guy,

357
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: the man at linebacker. But Ronnie Lott and Lawrence Taylor,

358
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: Kenny Easily. And once again, when I talk about my

359
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: disappointments and comparing me to others, that does not mean

360
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: I'm putting down somebody like.

361
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: Look, Hall of Fame right light right.

362
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: Also Hall of Fame Kenny Easley, who went through so

363
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 2: much before he passed, and the dedication he dedicated his

364
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: whole body to the game. Man, those guys are studs.

365
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: So my point is not to put them down. I'm

366
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 2: trying to elevate myself to that because I did play

367
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: on that.

368
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: All you're saying is if they're Hall of famers, maybe

369
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 4: I should be one too. That's what I kept saying.

370
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: I see Steve Largent, you know he comes to Tulsa

371
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 4: as a freshman. I'm a senior. I know that, and

372
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 4: freshman couldn't play. But he beating my roommate, who was

373
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 4: a defensive math. My roommate say that boy boy got

374
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 4: some stuff. But uh, you know, I'm seeing him go in.

375
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 4: I see other receivers go in, and I'm saying, I

376
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: don't want to criticize that. You never want to criticize

377
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 4: the process, because ever since the best part of being

378
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 4: in the Hall of Fame is the Hall of Fame lunching. Wow,

379
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 4: it's just Hall of Fame. Guy, ain't no media, ain't no.

380
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 4: You know, it's just the players, and we talk about it.

381
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, but you love for welcoming, welcomed you, Mike,

382
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: welcome you, and they let you know that things are

383
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 4: going to be different now that you can beat all

384
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 4: these other Hall of Fames, but now the Pro Football

385
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame is different. Your time is gonna come.

386
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: Just be patient. And uh, you know, I'm looking at

387
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 4: the list of Hall of Fames. First of all, I

388
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 4: think there's only twenty two free agents really, and wow,

389
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 4: because when I went in, I was number three, five, three,

390
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 4: three hundred and fifty third player, So I twenty two

391
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: free agents and tour from the Cowboys, me and Cliff,

392
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 4: So we need to get.

393
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: Number three up there, right right.

394
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: But I look at these guys, you know there's like

395
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 4: you mentioned Roddy Lot, he had sixty three in orse.

396
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 4: I didn't know, yes, man, Yeah, I laid against him

397
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: when he was a rookie, and I tried to take

398
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 4: him out on the first.

399
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: It's hard to take that man out, boy, that had

400
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 2: to take them.

401
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 4: I was in for a long afternoon and him and

402
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 4: Darrell Green. I tried to jack Darwell Green. Darrel Green

403
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 4: played twenty years that corner and he played it well. Well,

404
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 4: well yeah, let's see, he's not even on this list

405
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 4: of interceptions. Let's see, well Dell had he was not

406
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 4: known for Yeah, fifty four, but it.

407
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 2: Took him like seventeen years to get it. Yeah, yeah,

408
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 2: twenty twenty years.

409
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 4: He I just saw him.

410
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 2: D you played twenty years, man. Well, he was known

411
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 2: for having at least one interception every year he played.

412
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: It was a long streak of one interception. I'm like, okay,

413
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: one interception of the year. Yeah, I mean that's pretty

414
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: That's that's not pretty, low boy.

415
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, one a year, Yeah, one a year. Yeah, I

416
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 4: can slip up and make it right. Ever, so we're

417
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 4: gonna take a break, but I want to talk about

418
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 4: some of the best receivers you played against and some

419
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 4: of the receivers that gave you the toughest time, some

420
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 4: of the receivers that you knew going in. You're gonna

421
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 4: be up against somebody that even if he's he might

422
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: be a bad man, but it's an opportunity for you

423
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,720

Speaker 4: Roup Tree Welcome back to the Route Tree Talking to

470
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: Everson Walls Number twenty four for the Dallas Cowboys. Interception

471
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 4: Deluxe fifty seven. Interception eleven, your rookie year. They were

472
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: thrown at you, weren't they They were catching you didn't.

473
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: As a wide receiver, you would know just how the

474
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: family phraise that question. Yes, they were coming at you.

475
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: They were coming at you.

476
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 2: And I think I took a little pride in that

477
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 2: because you know, a lot of people can say, well

478
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: I never got beat that much. Well, I did first

479
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 2: half of the season, but yet the same time, never

480
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: gave up. You're not gonna beat me into the ground.

481
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm getting mine. And that was when I was playing.

482
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't playing well at all first half of the season,

483
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: yet still enough to start at the same time still

484
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: leading the league in interceptions. I remember watching a video

485
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 2: some they send you stuff online these days, and Matten

486
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: had said, yeah, they were coming at him early in

487
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: his career, his first half of the season, and then

488
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 2: I think this was game sixteen or whatever, I think

489
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: it was against Philadelphia. He goes, But right now he's

490
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 2: one of the best defensive backs in the NFL. So

491
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: you look at those second eight games that I played

492
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL, totally different down, totally different because now,

493
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I get it, things slowed down

494
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: for me. But I still take that pride in having

495
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: those interceptions early on when I wasn't playing well, I

496
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: was still able to make a whole bunch of plays.

497
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 2: You come at me fifteen seventeen times a game, yeah,

498
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 2: you're gonna catch some. I was targeted on average fifteen times. Again, wow,

499
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: fifteen times a game. So first of all, that lets

500
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: you know I was in shape.

501
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: What defense were you playing? Mostly one safety es on?

502
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 2: And you know, I try to explain it to people

503
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: all the time when we play thirty one safeties on,

504
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 2: if they come, if they go flow strong with both backs,

505
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: it turns into man to man, no help. Nowhere there's

506
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: a comfort zone of thirty one safety zone that's just

507
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 2: three D. It can turn into nothing. But you, you

508
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: and that guy and here I am just a young kid,

509
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: wasn't even twenty two years old yet.

510
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

511
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: And so I had to stave them off early on.

512
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 2: And then finally I realized, even after eighty eight games,

513
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 2: I'm good at this and I'm going to get better.

514
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 2: And I did.

515
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 4: You did, Roland, because next year you had nine interceptions.

516
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: But I had not. I had seven picks, but it

517
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 2: was in nine games. Oh yeah, that's a strike year

518
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 2: right here. Yeah, if they played that whole season, we

519
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 2: played that whole I'm coming out Lane, I'm coming.

520
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: After night Lanes record, coming.

521
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: After and that year I can't. I can't say which

522
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: was my best year, but that's close to my best year.

523
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 4: Lane, sixty eight interception.

524
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: I want that single season.

525
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: It was a single season.

526
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: What iss fourteen fourteen? Yeah, I was coming for it.

527
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

528
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: That's and I think the the good thing about it

529
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: was it it's hard for a player like myself who's

530
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 2: un orthodox, uh, to get the trust from his coaches.

531
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 8: Uh.

532
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: It was hard for me to get trust from Eddie Robinson.

533
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: He just it was hard to get that trust from it.

534
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: He saw me doing things, but they just they can't.

535
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 2: If they can't explain it, then they just don't even

536
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 2: want to think about it. Uh, he's waiting on Albert

537
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 2: Lewis to come behind me, who was waiting to get

538
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 2: to start. I wouldn't let him on the field end

539
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 2: up in Kansas City, and he is he balled all

540
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 2: of a career.

541
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: So you played behind him or helayed behind me.

542
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: He played behind me, and Rob was waiting on him

543
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 2: because that's Rob's recruit. I came up there based on, hey,

544
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 2: can you hook a brother up for a scholarship. That's

545
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: how I got a scholarship that he had a scholarship available,

546
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: and so that's why I was able to get the

547
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: scholarship I got at Granted State. My mom and I

548
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: we went up there begging to get that opportunity. So

549
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 2: Rob really didn't trust my, my technique. Coach Landry the

550
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: same way Rob Harley, Coach Robinson, sorry, coach Landry hardly

551
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: ever talked to me because you too, I guess we're

552
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: up the same. Care about free agency now they don't

553
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: because it's hard to get a coach to trust you

554
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: when you've got all these players that you've been drafted

555
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: ahead of you. Well, well you must be there must

556
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 2: be something wrong with it. That's why you're undrafted. You're

557
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: looking for deficiency. And so Tom never really understood how

558
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: I was able to make plays, just like Eddie Robinson

559
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 2: never understood how I was able to make plays. But

560
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: it all came from here first. Anytime you're und rafted

561
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: like that and you're able to make plays even though

562
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 2: you're undrafted, that lets people know this guy has something special.

563
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: And I had to show him at every week.

564
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 4: Every and against you guys.

565
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 2: And so when you see a coach like Tom Landry

566
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: and he's he doesn't even really mention my name after

567
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: a game, and I might have two interceptions and then

568
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: he'll come up with a backhanded compliments say, well, they

569
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: catch something, and he catched something. No, coach, it wasn't.

570
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 4: Like probably talk about more times you were maybe at

571
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 4: a position on the defense or something like that than

572
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: the good stuff than.

573
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: The good you know.

574
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 4: I remember one game we were playing. I caught about

575
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 4: five or six, but he nambas that one block I

576
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 4: missed that cost set.

577
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: To go all the way. And you know what, that's

578
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: fine too, because that's the standard that it was.

579
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 4: We had.

580
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 2: We already had that standard players that comes from our grassroots,

581
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 2: and it made that's accountable it is.

582
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 4: That's right, That's what I let me get me started.

583
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 4: It's a little different now. But the best receiver before

584
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 4: we get into what you're doing now and all that, okay,

585
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 4: the best receiver or receivers that you've played against, the

586
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 4: ones that gave you the toughest time.

587
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 2: And once again, no smoke. This thumb I can't remember.

588
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: I think it was this one you broke this thumb.

589
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: Remember that day we were trying to work on three

590
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 2: man eight man, and boy, you were having that day,

591
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 2: clowning us all practice. For some reason, we could not

592
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: stay inside and trail. It was just one of those

593
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: days as rookies. And I remember me and Jean Staralars

594
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 2: cussing each other out over you because you bloke broke

595
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 2: my thumb. And I'm really mad now. I didn't even

596
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 2: want to tape it up. I just covered you like this.

597
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: And I remember after you beat me the last time

598
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: you go, Everson, and he didn't stay just ever since

599
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 2: S word, S word, Everson. I just don't think you're

600
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 2: good enough to play this game. And I remember, oh man,

601
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: it came out. It came out, But that's what Starlings wanted. Man.

602
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 2: We went at it, just verbally cook and then next thing,

603
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: you know, go get him then and then that's when

604
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: we had to finish the drill.

605
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,719
Speaker 4: He wanted to see how you reacted to He enjoyed

606
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: that and you answered it right, and we laugh about that.

607
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 2: Every You remember, Yes, I do, coach, I remember. But

608
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: now wideouts have to be Roy Green.

609
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 6: Uh.

610
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 2: That was the guy. It took me four years to

611
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: just be able to control this guy. I never did

612
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: shut him down, just control him. He was so powerful.

613
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: He was Steve Smith's senior before Steve Smith's singing. That

614
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 2: guy that was just strong, compact, fast, bow legged dude.

615
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 2: You know from a small school. He has to be

616
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 2: from a small school. And he was just raw.

617
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 4: And they were they were swinging it well yeah heart

618
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: and he was with Jim.

619
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: Mark and Lovacks. Lomax couldn't reach him because Lomax could

620
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 2: throw it further. That there was a problem. Now we

621
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 2: got it run faster. But now Roy was the man

622
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: and one guy once again giving you Pops Webster slaughter.

623
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 2: He ran routes just like he ran routes just like

624
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: he walked just like you. And man, this guy gave

625
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: me hell. When I went to Cleveland. He gave me

626
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: hell when I was in New York and we played

627
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 2: against Cleveland every once in a while, and I think

628
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: he was with Cincinnati at one point as well. He's

629
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: a guy just like yourself, just heart. He was mad

630
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: at you. If you cover him, he's mad at you.

631
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: He mad at me because I'm doing my job. Yes,

632
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm mad at you and I'm coming after you. That's

633
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: how he was. And so he's that guy, that unheard

634
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: of guy. People are not going to give him the

635
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 2: love he deserves. But Webster Slaughter was shifting. He was tough,

636
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: and even he's a wiry guys to where like yourself,

637
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: you try to hurt him and you know, you bend

638
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: them this way, bend them that way, and they're like, yeah,

639
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 2: good with that.

640
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: He had a nice career. I don't know how many

Speaker 4: catchers we had we looked at.

00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 4: on you.

715
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: It's about how you look.

716
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 4: You look like right now I think I'll let you

717
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 4: slide or let me slide. But anyway you play with

718
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 4: You talk about your experience with Eddie Robinson. How cool

719
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 4: was that? You know? So you also play with another

720
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: legendary coach, Tom Land you know, what was your experiences

721
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 4: like with coach land y'all get along and.

722
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: We did not get along. We did not get along.

723
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 2: But when you look at Tom Landry and and Eddie Robinson,

724
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 2: there really is no difference. Yeah, those guys, they're stuck

725
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 2: in their ways. Uh, they have a certain way of

726
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 2: looking at football, and if you don't fit in that,

727
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: then you know you're gonna have an issue, you know.

728
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: And I was able to thrive under those his system

729
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: as well as Tom Landry system, in spite of the

730
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: fact that, you know, my unorthodox play and the lack

731
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: of trust that they had in me. And when I

732
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: say lack of trust, they were always proud of how

733
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 2: I played, but they just couldn't They didn't have the

734
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 2: confidence that they will continue the way it did. They

735
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 2: wasn't sure how much longevity I would have. And so

736
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: Landry was a guy that really just left me alone

737
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 2: when it came down to playing ball. And I think

738
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: that that's why I was backtracking on the trust thing,

739
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 2: because for him to never just bug me and let

740
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: me sit out there by myself and never really speak

741
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 2: of me in that manner, that means that hey, out

742
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: of sight, out of mind, that means.

743
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 4: Let to do your thing based on your talent. He

744
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 4: was seeing kind of like door set with the offense.

745
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 4: When he came in, he had this system are running,

746
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 4: but we're gonna.

747
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 2: Coach set now and created.

748
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 4: We see that.

749
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 2: You could see that he knew when to he knew

750
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 2: when to bark and went not to bark. And that's

751
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,720
Speaker 2: one thing he did. He left me alone in that regard.

752
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: But that also led to the fact that we hardly

753
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 2: had no relationship at all. I mean our first segment, no,

754
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 2: let's say the first minute of our segment that exceeded

755
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,760
Speaker 2: the conversations that to Legend and I had together.

756
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 4: That's kind of this kind of conversation.

757
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: Yes, right, and that's kind of sad uh in that

758
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: regard because you know some of them with that kind

759
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 2: of greatness. Uh. I thought that we had the same mindset,

760
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 2: but Tom was was different in every way, whether it's socially, uh,

761
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: whether it's coaching. Uh. You don't find many coaches that

762
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: coach every aspect of the game. And I don't mean

763
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 2: just lent the word every No, he knew, he knew specialty.

764
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: He was a punter at ut. I think in the

765
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 2: pros as well, he played defensive back, he played cornerback

766
00:39:58,560 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: and safety.

767
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 4: List for interception he had twenty four.

768
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 2: I think, oh that's that's ironic. Yeah, he's on this

769
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,720
Speaker 2: list my numbers twenty four, right, a little bit ironic.

770
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: I think he had more than that, I really do.

771
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: I think if I'm thirty plus picks, I could be mistaken.

772
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 2: But that's the kind of player time was. He knew

773
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 2: every aspect of the game, and so you couldn't really

774
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: tell him anything new. You know, I've seen it all.

775
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: I've seen it all. So if you're something unusual comes about,

776
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: like myself, then that's going to be it's going to

777
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 2: be a problem. So as much as I enjoyed playing

778
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 2: for him, I wish I could have had a better

779
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: relationship with Yeah.

780
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, And I really didn't have in a relationship

781
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: until got out of the game. You know, I had

782
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 4: that car accident. He was there helping me that and

783
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 4: stuff like that.

784
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: We were together that night, remember, yeah, we were all together, yes, sir.

785
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 4: And that solidified a relationship between us because you know,

786
00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,040
Speaker 4: he was there my family burying and dealing with my

787
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 4: my brother and stuff like that. Man, But the guy

788
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 4: that comforted me through that whole and that's what really

789
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 4: brought us coaching.

790
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: Well, this didn't bring us closer together, but it let

791
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 2: me know what his mindset is. My daughter was like

792
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: ten weeks premature, if you remember Cherish, and so now

793
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 2: she's healthy. Now, yeah, she's beautiful, miss workout girls, she's

794
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 2: all of that. And so I remember I when when

795
00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: that was in training camp and I had to leave

796
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: my wife at the hospital and come to the preseason

797
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: game because she was born August sixteenth, so we're in

798
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 2: preseason and you might never remember, but he praised for

799
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,799
Speaker 2: my daughter that day before the game from my daughter.

800
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: It was a preseason game. Yeah, in front of the

801
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 2: whole team. Yeah, you just probably don't remember.

802
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 4: You might have been I've been throwing up in the

803
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 4: right every day.

804
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: That might have been your throw up time. But yeah,

805
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: that to me let me know regardless of what he is,

806
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 2: he's consistent, right, and so whatever like or not consistent

807
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: and how he treats his players, and you know, you

808
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 2: can't say anything more about that.

809
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's a good way to describe him, because

810
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 4: whatever he's gonna bring is gonna be that way consistent

811
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 4: for every every player. But anyway he was a great coach.

812
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 4: And I'm still trying to find out how many interceptions

813
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: because he'll tell you, hey, he had a million of them.

814
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 4: But he used to chose how he should show us

815
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 4: how to run this route. You know, you had that

816
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 4: little gimp and he used to run and I would like,

817
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 4: but he wasn't looking. I run it like Roger would say, Hey, quickness.

818
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: Let me say this. I bet he knew. I bet

819
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 2: he knew you.

820
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 4: Probably Jim Myers.

821
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,320

887
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,920

Speaker 4: or anything.

893
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: No surgeries. I had a couple of cracked ribs that

894
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 2: allowed me to miss my only two games in my

895
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: career when I was in New York. When I donated

896
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: my kid to Ron Springs and they do the scan,

897
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:08,760
