89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: was here in Atlanta. I can't remember, but I know

90
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I definitely played against him while I was in Tennessee. Okay,

91
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: but not college though. He's an older right, No, I'm

92

Speaker 1: black or all I remember that game? It was brutal,

110
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: but then it was satin by the following week on

111
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: a Thursday night. I don't know who schedules people back

112
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: to back Thursday night games. We lost to Rutcords and

113
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:43,760

Speaker 1: HBO's Hard Knocks back in Yes, you know it's crazy.

123
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: That's how Um, yeah, we're gonna talk a little Hard

124
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: Knocks for a second. That's how I actually got noticed

125
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of things. I was going to ask

126
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: you that because my personality and working with the film

127
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: crew and I had those people laughing day in and

128
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: day out. Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna fess up and

129
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: say that I hadn't watched all of Hard Knocks until

130
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: I was getting ready for, uh, this interview, and uh

131
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: there are two scenes in particular I want to ask

132
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: you about. I already know where you're going with that,

133
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: so I just you know, when you walked into the studio,

134
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of smelled pretty nice, like powdery nice, almost

135
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: like poppy. What's under my arms right now? Do you

136
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: still wear Secret? To this day? I still wear Secret.

137
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: You want to know why, because because it's strong enough

138
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: for men but made for a woman. It's okay, it's okay.

139
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: I just don't like the way Men's deodorant smells. It

140
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: gives you that that's it gives you that careful. They're

141
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: got sponsorship deals, not careful fresh feel. So Secret is

142
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: my thing? All right? Well, maybe Secret will sponsor you

143
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: one day. I think they should. I think they should

144
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: send me a lot in the mail too, because that's

145
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: been a lot of money on Secret every year. Maybe

146
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: they'll make Amen's deodorant. Here's your pitch, strong enough for

147
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: men and made for a man too. Well, I'm good

148
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: for I love what I have right now. Though it's perfect,

149
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: it's perfectialum. And there's another scene too that I'm you know,

150
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm I think it's great that you're still wearing Secret.

151
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Um, there's another scene. You guys are palling.

153
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: Roddy and they are busting your chops because you were

154
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: polishing a house ball now and then I hit him.

155
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: I struck their up when I when I rolled that

156
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: strike have beeps, so that's good to speak. And then

157
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, I once I once it comes off my

158
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: hand a certain way, I don't even have to look

159
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: at the ball. You see, I turned around just like

160
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: while I was still rolling. It's like like strike them up.

161
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: It's like shooting a three and start walking down style

162
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: as I shimmy, shimmy. Too bad you didn't shimmy in

163
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: that scene. Um, they were on your case pretty hard

164
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: though for polishing that ball. Those are my brothers, man,

165
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: They're all We're always on each other's case. But it's

166
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: great when you can be so close with guys that

167
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: you play with. Yeah, and I always tell people when

168
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: you have when you play with these guys, the relationships

169
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: it's always bigger than football. Yeah, you played a game

170
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: of football. Football is temporary, but the relationship that you

171
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: build and that you that you carry out outside of football,

172
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: that you made with in football, those are for a lifetime. Well,

173
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: most of your time is here in the practice facility,

174
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms, out on the practice field, traveling,

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: and then you got a game on Sundays, but you

176
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: literally spend more time. And I'll tell people this all

177
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: the time. If you're dedicated to things that you want,

178
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: and Tony Gonzalez taught me this. He was like, if

179
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: you want to be the best at whatever you're doing, yeah,

180
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: sometimes your family has to take a back seat. That's

181
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: one thing I'll never forget Tony taught me and my

182
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: wife is I think amazing in the best in the

183
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: world because she understands that whenever I'm doing something, I'm

184
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna put my all into it, and she plays off

185
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: of it. And she she's the only person I could

186
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: have married, the only person I feel like I could

187
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,559

347
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: What other schools recruited you? Um? A lot of them? Uh, Texas, Ohio, State,

348
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: South Florida. Um, Georgia. Georgia gave me my first offer

349
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: of my junior year in high school. I must spend tempting. Um,

350
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 1: not really, you wanted to get added? I did, And

351
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: I grew up. My mom went to UF My dad

352
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: from Gainesville, Florida, So I actually grew up a Florida fan.

353
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: And I always wanted to play for Steve Spurrier. But

354
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: when I came out of high school, he was not there.

355
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay the old ball coach. Yeah, pitt yep, Pittsburgh.

356
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: How come West Virginia didn't recruit you? I don't know.

357
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: They wasn't smart enough. Apparently now you know they wasn't.

358
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 1: And then I actually knew somebody and grew up with somebody,

359
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: Pat Man Jones. So me and Pat Man play. Hey,

360
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: you bast my dad coached them in basketball, so he

361
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 1: was at my house a lot, and he was actually

362
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: up there in West Virginia. So I don't even know

363
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: why they didn't. I don't know either. He had a

364
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: phenomenal career at w VW. But I mean it worked

365
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: out for me because at the time it was Steve

366
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: Slayton and Pat White. So it wasn't passing a football

367
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 1: like that. No, No, you're right, a good deal. So

368
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: smart me. Smart you you get to Louisville. Um, nice career,

369
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: especially your last two years there. Um sitting here looking

370
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: at your stats, you guys. Uh um, you talked about

371
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: the big you guys. Your biggest win there, The biggest

372
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: win there was actually my junior year to Orange Bowl.

373
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: We beat Miami. My junior year we West Virginia on

374
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: that Thursday night. Yeah, we had we had a lot

375
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: of a lot of big wins. But I'll tell you this.

376
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: So while I was at Louisville, and this is why

377
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 1: I tell I try to tell young kids all the time,

378
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: young men, it's not about where you ad at the moment.

379
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: It's about where you where you want to go into

380
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: how hard you want to work to get to where

381
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: you want to be. So at Louisville, I was literally

382
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: the last receiver on the depth chart my freshman and

383
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: sophomore year. Is it true I looked at your scouting profile?

384
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 1: Is it true that you showed up at Louisville Wayne

385
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: one hundred and forty eight pounds? It was? I was

386
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: smaller than that. I was five eight one five Are

387
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Wow? Five eight one twenty five. So yeah,

388
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: they must have looked at you and said, you must

389
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: explain how you went from somebody looked like they're in

390
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: middle school. Well, I mean it was all hard work.

391
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: One one person I definitely can give a lot of

392
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: credit to as Paul Patrino. He was my It was

393
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: Bobby Petrino's little brother. He was my receiver, coach, in

394
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He's the head coach at Idaho now. But

395
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: Paul worked with me every day. He pushed me every day.

396
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: He always taught me to be thankful, never to be satisfied,

397
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: And that's basically how I started playing. He taught me,

398
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: don't just learn one position, learned everything because you never

399
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: know what may happen, and that's actually how I started

400
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: to play. We had a guy named Broget Clark, and

401
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: I think the year before Broject led like NC DOUBLEA

402
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: and kick returning yards and Brojeck was our in the

403
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 1: NFL you called the effort slot receiver. He was our

404
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: w Broget got hurt on kickoff return. So that's actually

405
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: how I started playing. Otherwise I don't even play to

406
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: my junior year. Wow. So in forty six games at Louisville,

407
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: you started nineteen games, caught one hundred and seventy three passes,

408
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: which at the time was fifth in school history, two thousand,

409
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: nine hundred twenty four yards, which is second in Louisville

410
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: history in Big East history, had a sixteen point nine

411
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: yard average and fifteen touchdowns. You also carried at nineteen

412
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: times one hundred and sixty two yards, which is pretty

413
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: good average, eight point five, had a scorer on the ground,

414
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: and you had eighteen years. You mentioned kickoff returns, a

415
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: nineteen point seven average, sixteen yards on six punt returns.

416
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: That's a great average there. But you also registered seventeen tackles,

417
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: thirteen solo, and recovered a pair of fumbles. That's pretty

418
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: good man. But you're forgetting the best, the best things

419
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: that should be on the list. That's why you're here,

420
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: all right, So let me explain it to you. Give

421
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: me explain it to you. And which one is my camera?

422
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: This one right here? Yeah, let me explain it to you,

423
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: and let me explain it to the people, because I

424
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: am a man of the people. So I also had

425
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 1: two two hundred yard games, and that's the I'm the

426
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: only person that Louis would ever have that games two Kentucky.

427
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: It was like the first game of the year in series. Yes,

428
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: and they were ranked I think it was the time

429
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: they were a ranked. I think we were in the

430
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: top teen. I think they were like twelve or thirteen

431
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. Who's your code? Do you remember?

432
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 1: Was it was it Hell Mobby or anybody? Wasn't No,

433
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: it wasn't him. Who was their coach? That's all right.

434
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 1: I can't even remember. I didn't even care. And then

435
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: we had the Orange Bowl. Yeah, and at the time

436
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: it was a record for ten catches one hundred sixty

437
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: five yards. Okay, that was a Syracuse No. That was

438
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: against uh, the Orange Bowl against a Wait Force. They

439
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: had beat Tech in the ACC Championship game, gotcha because

440
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to play Tech because my best friend played

441
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: for Tech and he played dB, who wasn't Jamal Lewis.

442
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: So I literally wanted to line up against him and

443
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: beat the brakes off of him. That had been great,

444
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: that would have been amazing, all right, So you uh,

445
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 1: I just wanted to segue. I wanted to talk a

446
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: little bit about college and where you grew up in

447
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: Jonesborough and that whole story, because when I saw how

448
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: much how small you are coming out, I was just like,

449
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it, but it was. It was a

450
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 1: mentality though, yeah, because I tell size doesn't matter. If

451
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: your mentality, if you believe in yourself, it's hard for

452
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: people to believe in you. For if you don't believe

453
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: in yourself that you can do things. But you you

454
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: got to have the mentality that you can do anything

455
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 1: and get anything done. And it all starts with the vision.

456
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: The Bible says, well, there's no vision that people would

457
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,239
Speaker 1: perish if you don't have a vision for your life,

458
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: your stand for anything. People can get you to do anything.

459
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: You got to know your purpose in life, set goals,

460
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: but the most important one you have to learn to

461
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: get comfortable with being uncomfortable. I like that comfortability um

462
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: drives complacency. Yeah, so I love that. Just starting this podcast,

463
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: that was uncomfortable. So you end up So you end

464
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: up a third round pick eighty fourth overall. Yes, that's

465
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. You go to of course, my hometown team,

466
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, hometown team. What was that like? It

467
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: was for your family? I don't even know if words

468
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: can describe what that was like. And my mom, so

469
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: my mother, I'm a momy's boy. Both of my parents.

470
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 1: I love both of them that are risen while I'm

471
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: here today. But my mom, my mom actually envisioned it.

472
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: She told me before I had a draft party at

473
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: Hooters because I wanted to look at Hooters, of course,

474
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: and my mom, my mom told me. She was like,

475
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna come home and play. You're gonna be here

476
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: to play. And I was like, okay, whatever, Mom, let's go.

477
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: The Atlanta number called my cell phone and I was like,

478
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 1: what is really going on right now? Did you, now

479
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 1: be honest, did you have any indication at all that

480
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: they were interested? No? Because when how I got them,

481
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: their radar was from when coach Patrino was here and

482
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: him talking about me so much. And then when they came,

483
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a schedule workout for the Falcons.

484
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: They came to work out Brian Bron, my quarterback in

485
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: college because they were trying to decide Bron, Matt Ryan,

486
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks who to take. And I was halfway home.

487
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 1: I was in Nashville, driving almost home, and he called

488
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: me asked me could I catch for him? And I

489
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: was like, sure, I'll catch for you. I turned back around,

490
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: I go catch for him and snagging it, throwing that

491
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: thing all, catching it all over the place, like who's

492
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: that guy with the hands that doesn't drink. Coach Malarkey

493
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 1: actually came to me. He was like, let me ask

494
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: you a question. Who can guard you in the NFL?

495
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 1: I said nobody. It was like who can guard you

496
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL? And I was like, I said no one.

497
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: Mike Malarkey the OC And then they called and tried

498
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: to get me to do a U T at the

499
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: time another workout, and I was like no. The workout

500
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 1: went to too well. I was like, nah, I'm okay.

501
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Man. So you get drafted by the Falcons,

502
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: you're here for the entire Mike Smith era. Correct. Uh.

503
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: And what's what's crazy is you're oc from twenty two

504
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: thousand and eight to two thousand eleven is molarchy. Yeah,

505
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: and then after that was their cutter go figure. And

506
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: then you leave Atlanta. We'll talk more about Atlanta a second,

507
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: but you signed with Tennessee coach Malarkey had a lot

508
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: to do with that. If um and he was coached

509
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: from twenty fifteen, I played a major part in that. Um.

510
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: I either wanted to go to Tennessee, Tampa, what dirt was, uh, Oakland?

511
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: What Bill Musgrave was? Okay, and that's that was what

512
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: our quarterback coaches here when we first when I first

513
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: got here from Matt Ryan, you wanted to go or

514
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: you knew somebody? Yeah, trust yep, Okay. It's big when

515
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: it comes to sleep interesting. It's just it's just so

516
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: interesting too because with Malarkey and caught her back. Now,

517
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: it's so a lot of players that you see ran

518
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: out there on that field. When I'm watching the games,

519
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: I can call majority of them out. That's crazy. Literally,

520
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: they haven't changed it that much. Well, they changed some

521
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: of the terminology, but I mean I still know the place.

522
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: You Uh you had a pretty good Yeah, well you

00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,080

Speaker 1: card that people sent me and put it all around

534
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 1: my room. So every morning I woke up, that's what

535
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: you saw. I had no pity and I seen those things.

536
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,680

Speaker 1: of touchdowns. Oh yes, So let's talk about your planted

541
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: career because I've got before I get into some uh

542
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: some questions. Okay, that Mike Jenkins helped me with you

543
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: don't scare me. You're gonna be scared a little bit.

544
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: You should be on guard here. You heard bone crushing Tia.

545
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: I ain't never scared, all right, So who do you

546
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: Let's just kind of go through a little rapid fire.

547
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: We'll call this bird droppings here, so I'll drop something

548
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: and you you catch it. Who'd you learn the most

549
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: from here? Oh that's a tough one. I know you

550
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: reference Tony g just a second ago, but that's not

551
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: who I learned the most most from though. I will

552
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: have to say, Um, Brian finneran interesting I'm gonna bring

553
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: him up in a minute. Who would you consider what

554
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: would you consider, sorry, the high moment of your entire

555
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: NFL career. I will say the high moment doesn't have

556
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: to be your best game of my UM career was

557
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: the win against Seattle when we played him in a

558
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: playoff game. To seal that win and to be able

559
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: to have a play to help get down the field

560
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 1: for Matt Bryant to kick the game win the field

561
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: goal was amazing. You're playing again. Um, I'm not going

562
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: to tell you the name of the play, but I

563
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: know what the play is. I had a I had

564
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: an out route, so it wasn't it wasn't that much

565
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: time on the clock, and it was about it was

566
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: I'll say, uh, fourteen to sixteen yard out route, but

567
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: me and me and Tony switched positions. We switched the

568
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: positions so he could run the short out route so

569
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: the defense can suck up to him and think that

570
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball. And I ran a deep out

571
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: because if he ran would have ran a deep out,

572
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: they probably would have sunk back to Tony because he's

573
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez. You know what I mean. I called spade

574
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: a spade, yeah, Hall of Famer on. So some of

575
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: the guys, you know, stupid is a stupid does because

576
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: if you know game situations, you wouldn't have done that.

577
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: But that's what they did. And I caught the ball

578
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: went out of bounds. I think we ran one or

579
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: two more plays. Tony caught the next one, if I'm

580
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: not mistaken. There are tendencies, right, You guys study tendencies

581
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: exactly so, but game situations don't. I don't think people

582
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: value that. It was. It was game situations that we

583
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: actually practice every week here in Noises. Oh, every week

584
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: we practice game like situations. If this happens, if abc

585
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 1: D happened, can we do X, Y and Z. I

586
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: love that. So you caught an outroute, caught an outroute,

587
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: went out of bounds, got hit pretty hard too. Do

588
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: you remember who hit? He almost broke my damn back?

589
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: Who who cares? I caught the ball? Saying because they

590
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: had some hitters in that secondary they did, because we

591
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: had some hitters in our receiver group. I know you

592
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: because if I know if it was one group, listen,

593
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: listen to what I'm about to say. If it was

594
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: one group against the legional boom, ye who laid the

595
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: boom against them? Yeah, it was our receiving corps. And

596
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: love that nice. I believe it too. Your best to

597
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,919
Speaker 1: believe it, baby, all right on the flip side, that's

598
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: my quiet late night voice. So I asked you, I

599
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: asked your high moment. You know where I'm going now

600
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 1: that's following me on the flip side. Yeah, what would

601
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: you consider your toughest or a little moment? My low moment?

602
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: I would say, U n AFC Championship games makes sense,

603
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 1: But that one was um so I know the exact play.

604
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: It was the return will and It's a play we

605
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: ran millions of times. And I actually when I ran it,

606
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: I threw the fender down and I was like, okay,

607
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: I have a walk in touchdown. So the balls in

608
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: the air, oh boy, I can't even see the ball

609
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,919
Speaker 1: in the air, oh boy. And all I can say,

610
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: why at this moment, what the ball get called in

611
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: the lights? So at the last, very very last, probably

612
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: not even second, one tenth of a second, I can

613
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: feel your frustration. Just seen it and happened to stick

614
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: my hands out there, and I was like, I just

615
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: didn't want to drop the ball because it was a

616
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: third down play. Yeah, it was a big third down

617
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: and third I didn't want it to go to fourth down. Yeah,

618
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: but I'll say that because no I caught it, but

619
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: I fell down when I caught it. Oh, it would

620
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: have been a walking touchdown. Okay, it would have been

621
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: a walk in touchdown. You just like, make the catch,

622
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: secure the ball. Just make the catch to secure the ball.

623
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,959
Speaker 1: Sometimes me, Harry Douglas still has nightmares about this one. Well,

624
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: it's it's I'll tell you this. It's a play that

625
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 1: I will never forget though. That's you know, And people

626
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: ask part of the game, and I'm not I'm not

627
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: scared to talk about it, like you know what I mean.

628
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 1: I guess that would be the one past you wish

629
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: you could have back then, most definitely, because that's what

630
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask. Yeah, yep, and now and we

631
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: also know your favorite catches. Uh so all right, you

632
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: guys had a tough hitting. You guys could hold your

633
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 1: own as a receiving corps. But who is the hardest

634
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: hitter he ever faced? The hardest hitter? Yeah, whoever hits you,

635
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: who hits you the hardest where you just like, I

636
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: don't want to face that guy again. Or James Harrison

637
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 1: and Lamar Woodley. Okay, I literally had the ball one

638
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: time and somebody was holding me up and I don't

639
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: know if it was Lamar Woodley or James Harrison. And

640
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna ask for raw. All you hear was hold

641
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: his ass up, hold him up. So imagine me, being

642
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 1: as small as I was, hearing somebody say hold him up,

643
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: hold his ass up. I'm trying to get down as

644
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: quickly as possible, but somebody's trying to hold me up.

645
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: That just sounds frightening, just knowing that James Harrison is

646
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: trying to get down as quickly as possible. I mean

647
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: that man can lift cards. Yes, Oh my gosh. Woof.

648
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: All right, so I'm going to ask you about an

649
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: uncomfortable moment, just because you're on all the shows and

650
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: just because late you bring up Harrison Steelers. Yeah. Did

651
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 1: you see the Miles Garrett incident? Yeah, well we were

652
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,280
Speaker 1: talking about this and you were involved in an incident,

653
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: but you're in your case though. It was one legal Yeah.

654
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: Talking about the block on Chris Harris? Yeah, is it

655
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: when you look think back at that one? Yeah, do

656
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: you wish you'd done anything differently? Or no? No No? I

657
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: think because I'll tell you this, one thing people stood about.

658
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: You got a lot of flak for that. Well, and

659
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: I didn't care about it either. One thing people, if

660
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: you knew me, you knew how I played the game

661
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: of football. I don't take plays off. I'm gonna play

662
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,800
Speaker 1: to the whistle. I'll go hard. I'm gonna do everything

663
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: I need to do for my teammates. It was a

664
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: one percent legal play, Yep, it was. He was a

665
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: grown man looking me another grown man in my eyes.

666
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: He just happened to be loafing on the play and

667
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: I wasn't I watched and if you if you look

668
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: at the play, you look at the run. If Derek

669
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: Henry breaks one tackle, He's now coming right beside me. Yeah,

670
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 1: so I'm not gonna let my man make the tackle

671
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: point blank period. Well, speaking of blocking dbs and drop

672
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: passes and drop TD passes, Mike Jenkins says, no cuts.

673
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: If he didn't cut a dB body language after a

674
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: drop pass, you know where I'm going to the last thing,

675
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: I sure do. Uh And then off the field, you know,

676
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: kissing in the club if you were single, sagging pants.

677
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: Sagging pants. So there was a little bit of a

678
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: fine system that Michael Jenkins fine system I definitely used

679
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,319
Speaker 1: to love. He said that it was quite when when

680
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: you guys helped court and we most definitely can't even

681
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: name all the stuff that was on the list because

682
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 1: it is definitely not uh TV appropriate or microphone radio appropriate,

683
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: So we cannot even name everything that was on the list.

684
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: And all all money went to I'm sure charity. Yep. Um,

685
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: So do you remember what do you remember about that

686
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: fining system that? Uh? Um? Was there anything that you

687
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: ever were fine for that maybe when you guys were

688
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: holding court? Oh yes, because Brian Finneran has the list.

689
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 1: I'm told, oh man, I'm crying laughing right now. So

690
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: what was your worst? Fine, I don't have to say

691
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: the dollar mount, but you can just say what it was.

692
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that I got fine. Um, we all

693
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: got fined a lot, Okay, and I know my rookie

694
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: year did we just opened my mouth though, was and

695
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: I get it? Was it the body language thing, but yeah,

696
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: but well, because body language, I think it's an important

697
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: part of sports. Yeah, especially if you're a leader or

698
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: people are watching young kids are watching on TV. Like,

699
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: let's just say I'm a receiver. Okay, you got for

700
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: a pass, say the quarterback miss a throw. If you

701
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 1: threw your hands up at like that quarterback, you know

702
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: what I mean, We're gonna find your ass a lot

703
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: of money in that meeting room because at the end

704
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 1: of the day, you doesn't know you don't know what

705
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: that quarterback had to go through back there in that pocket. Okay,

706
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: you got guys trying to kill you back there. So yeah,

707
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: I just I thought maybe if you awareness. We used

708
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 1: to have awareness finds, like if you went out of

709
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: bounds on a route, or you call the ball and

710
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: went out of bounds like unknowingly. We'll find you for

711
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: awareness not knowing where you're where you're on the field.

712
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: That's a good one. I thought maybe if you just

713
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: drop the ball or whatever and you were mad at yourself,

714
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: you'd be fine for that. But that would be fine

715
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: for a drop ball, No, for multiple things. Can you

716
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: drop a ball and then you show that you're mad,

717
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: We're gonna get you for body language, and we're gonna

718
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 1: get you for the drop ball. Wow, okay, we're gonna

719
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: kill two birds of one. Uh stone. Wow. It's tough,

720
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,280
Speaker 1: and you had to represent yourself. You had to represent yourself.

721
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: Who are the judges again? Oh? Everybody else in there? Okay, listen.

722
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: Court was court was tough. It wasn't no easy courtroom. Now,

723
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,720
Speaker 1: it was not an easy courtroom. That's what I heard.

724
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: I used to get Roddy the most foot no notebook,

725
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: We definitely used to get him for that. If he

726
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: walked in without if he worked for if he walked

727
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: in without his playbook, we'll see him walk into the

728
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: locker room and we'll literally be laughing and wait till

729
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 1: as soon as we got as soon as we got

730
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 1: in and black coach Riddy, don't have his notebook. Write

731
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: him down, Riddy, go get your notebook. That's funny. Um,

732
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: we need that money we needed not there you go.

733
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: So Michael Jenkins also said that you had a certain

734
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: way of doing things. So I was asking about the

735
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: weirdest thing he'd ever heard in a huddle, And of

736
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: course he brought you up. Yet go back and watch

737
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: episode four of Bird Noises. But he talked a lot

738
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: about you, and there's a lot of things he said.

739
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: He He's like, how do I say this without getting

740
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: in trouble? So I got to ask you about this

741
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: because you obviously haven't watched the episode, have you no? Okay,

742
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 1: we're talking about weirdest thinking he'd ever heard in the huddle.

743
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Show. So he said Harry had a

744
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: certain way of doing things. And then he laughed and paused,

745
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: and then he said he said that you told the

746
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: tight Ends quote you better get your asses down when

747
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: I come in motion. He said that you like to

748
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: tap the guys I'm behind. Oh god, let me quote

749
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: him a little a little low on during the playing motion.

750
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: So explain yourself. This this is not court. But we

751
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 1: also heard that Tony Gonzalez had a way of it.

752
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: So it was a it was a maybe probably Tony Gonzalez,

753
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: but Tony was wired weirdly. Also, you know what I mean?

754
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: So tell Sometimes me being me, being the the bad

755
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 1: little brother that I was, I would go in motion

756
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: and we used to have a certain motion where we

757
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: used to have to type tap the tight end, yeah,

758
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: to let him know that we're passing, so he can

759
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: count second sword, he can do do what he needs

760
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: you to do. So this particular day, you know what, Yeah,

761
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: I get it. I'm already get on Tony's nerd nerves.

762
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: Because Lockers was right beside. It was me. I was

763
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: in between him and Roddy. So we used to make

764
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Tony mad on so many different occasions. So I said,

765
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: you know what, plans a little bit up. I said,

766
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna agitate Tony in the game today.

767
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: First it was in practice. First, First it was in practice.

768
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: So I went in motion and I tapped Tony on

769
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: the butt. Okay, so this is just a this is

770
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: a reoccurring thing. It only happened twice. Okay, taped Tony

771
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: on the So in the middle of play, he stands up.

772
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 1: What the yeah, deep, and we're all dona laughing. So

773
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: I told Tony the fact that you showed me that

774
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: you're upset in the game, when I go in motion,

775
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the same thing, so you better get

776
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 1: your butt down. So literally, you see on film when

777
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: I go in motion him sitting on the ground, Tony

778
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 1: definitely sinking his butt on the ground to and I'm

779
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: crying laughing while I'm going in motion, Like, I'm laughing

780
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: as hard as I possibly can. Who are you guys playing?

781
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: You man? I don't even remember. Okay, I don't even

782
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 1: remember at all. That is a good one. Uh. I

783
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: texted Michael Jenkins before the show, listening what I mean

784
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: we were we were crying in the meeting room watching

785
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: that film. Literally we were crying watching that film in

786
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: the mean room. Well, he said, I had to make

787
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: sure I asked you that to that, but I think

788
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: it's only fair. That's so I'm gonna ask you, what

789
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: is the weirdest thing that Harry Douglas ever heard in

790
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: a huddle sideline that you just didn't expect? And if

791
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's nothing. He doesn't have to be from

792
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: my team, does it? No? I literally heard somebody tell

793
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,840
Speaker 1: somebody they would kill them, like during the game, No,

794
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 1: after the game. Oh thanks, And I was looking like, dude,

795
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: is it that serious? Like what would make you say that?

796
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: On the football feel? Wow, I'm looking like, Okay, that

797
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: is little jarring, very disturbing, Yes, very very disturbing. A

798
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: lot of motions, a lot of a lot of stuff

799
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: going on battle. Yeah, it's like, bro's not that serious. No,

800
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: you're just mad. You're getting take it like a man.

801
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: Take it like a man. Take it. Speaking of a man,

802
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: I had Jesse tugg All on Oh not last week

803
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: because the Hammer, and uh boy, he's got a great story.

804
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,959
Speaker 1: But we were talking about this season and he said

805
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 1: he pointed to UM ninety seven. Falcons started off that

806
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: year with one in seven Mark and then he had

807
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: some choice words with the team and he's not a

808
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: big rob Roy guy. And Chuck Smith was talking about too.

809
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: But they went six and two down the stretch, finished

810
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,479
Speaker 1: seven and nine. Next year they went fourteen and two

811
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Broncos. Jorge Bird I went to the game

812
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: actually as a kid down in Miami South Beach. Yeah. Yeah,

813
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: so this team is you know, and you're you're covering

814
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: this team now, and you know this team intimately, you

815
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: know their coaches intimately, You played with guys that are

816
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, still on this team. You probably know this

817
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,479
Speaker 1: team as well as anybody that's not on the team.

818
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: That's what I'm getting at. Last two weeks, come out

819
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: of the bye dominant. What do you make of that?

820
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to put you too much on the

821
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: spot here, but what do you make of they got

822
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: six games left there? It's look, there's less than one

823
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: percent chance if you do the math right now, but

824
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: they have a shot still. Yeah, and it's been pretty

825
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: amazing the last two weeks. What do you make of

826
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 1: this team? Do you think that this team can make?

827
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: Is it too crazy to say that this team can

828
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: make it similar turnaround? No, it's not okay because when

829
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: you look at the roster, you have a roster of

830
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: guys who are playmakers, can play guys who have been

831
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: paid as such because they are those playmakers, your leaders

832
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: on this team, and you have your complimentary players who

833
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: are doing a great job. You have a lot of

834
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: young guys. But the best thing that could have happened

835
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: for these young guys this year is actually experiencing going

836
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: through going through things. Having that experience and actually getting

837
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: to play a lot guys like Kendall Shaffield and who

838
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: I actually think is doing a great job right now.

839
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,399
Speaker 1: He's doing a great job in Raheem Morris going over

840
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: there to coach that room, I think is going to

841
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: be very beneficial. Isaiah Oliver, he struggled early on, but

842
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: I would say, you see these guys just growing up.

843
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: The Seattle game, New Orleans game, this game, Isaiah has

844
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 1: turned things around, big strides. So the future for this

845
00:48:56,400 --> 00:49:00,400
Speaker 1: team is promising. Its promising. Now was it disappointed the

846
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: way the first half of the season went. Of course, yes,

847
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: that's not the way you want to be. But I

848
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: think the team that you are seeing the last two

849
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: weeks is the team that I imagine from from the start.

850
00:49:15,440 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: So now they're at that point and you can't rewind things.

851
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: So sometimes you hear people, well where was this that back? Okay,

852
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 1: that's irrelevant. You got to live in the now. But

853
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: now is the now you want You say you wanted

854
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 1: you wanted these this this thing to turn around. You

855
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: want these guys the ball out start making place. That's

856
00:49:36,160 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: what they're doing for this defense to hold Drew Brees.

857
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: What I would touchdown for the first time in his career.

858
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,879
Speaker 1: Was unbelievable. To hold that offense to twenty five percent

859
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: on third downs, it's crazy to hold uh Carolina too.

860
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: I think it was twelve or fourteen percent on third downs. Yeah,

861
00:49:55,840 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I think so that in my eye, that

862
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: just doesn't happen. You know what I mean by mistake

863
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: or flukey, It just doesn't. So it lets me know, Okay,

864
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: these guys had it in them all along. This is

865
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: the team that I expected to see from game one.

866
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 1: Well and they got. It's amazing they've forgot. And the

867
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: schedules very favorable games second half. I said the bye

868
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: week was so important because the bye week gives you

869
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: an opportunity to get back to the fundamentals, get back

870
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: to the basis of football. Um. It allows coaches to

871
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: view things and see things, Okay, what do we need

872
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 1: to continue? What do what do we need to work

873
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: on as coaches? And it also lets you try new things.

874
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: It lets you try new things and decisions. But that's

875
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: what life is about though. Yeah, and it also helped

876
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: that you coming out of your bye week, you're going

877
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: against your rival, the New Orleans Saints. So you did

878
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: not need people, did not need motivation. The motivation was

879
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: already there to go down there and kick the walls

880
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: the same. Yeah, so when the motivation is already there,

881
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: it was the perfect situation and couldn't have come at

882
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: a perfect time. Yeah, you know, they they not only

883
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: went down there and kicked the doors in and beat them.

884
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: And you can say it, I'll be scared. Yeah, I'm

885
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: not scared. I'm just I'm not gonna fire you or

886
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 1: our producer over there. He's already got enough beeps to

887
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: put in this one. But uh, but you know the

888
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: fact that they went into Carolina um and did what

889
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: they did, you know, it was just unbelievable. And now

890
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 1: they've got another NFC Salfo, a team that's scott. You know,

891
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: they've had their struggles this year. This is a this

892
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: Rich McKay that window dress it what Rich McKay said.

893
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: They've been terrible. Jamis has been terrible this year. It's

894
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: a validation game. They need to win this game right now.

895
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: They the Tempa Bay Buccaneers. They've given up the most

896
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 1: sacks in NFL. Jameis Winston has nineteen touchdown passes and

897
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: eighteen interceptions. You think about that, now, think about that,

898
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 1: you almost have more interceptions than touchdown passes. Yeah, and

899
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: it's not like you look over there. You have Mike Evans,

900
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: you have Chris Godwin, you have Cameron bred Titan, Oj Howard, talent,

901
00:52:18,560 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: you had. You have guys over there that could play

902
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: the game of football. But things start at the quarterback position.

903
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: If you can't get the quarterback position right, you're gonna

904
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: have the year that you're having in Tampa. So the

905
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,319
Speaker 1: Falcons are you know? I never understand why Falcons fans

906
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: complain over Matt Ryan. He is he's a great one.
