1 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna produce to the level that you can't 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 1: pay that. Whether it's your fault or not, you know, 3 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: the things happen. It's football in business and understanding. So 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: I don't have any hard feelings towards those guys. I 5 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: just wanted more opportunity to, you know, go down to 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: field and get some shots. I don't care who we 7 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: play are with the relationship, Like I said, it could 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: be my mom, my dad, But once you step on 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: the field, I'm playing against you. I wanted to destroy you. 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge. Tough game last week. But you 11 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 1: know what, we got one of our favorite guests coming 12 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,919 Speaker 1: on this time, and it's Mike Wallace. Buddy.

I think we 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 1: could all around Baltimore use a little little adrenaline, a 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: little little confidence, you shot of optimism right now exactly, 17 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 1: And that's what Mike Wallace is good for. Um. Obviously, 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 1: the season has a on the way. Anybody wants three 19 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: games in that bad it's three and three and three 20 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: tough loss to the Bears. But I have a feeling 21 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: that Mike is going to give us a little confidence. 22 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Before we get into the interview with Mike, I want 23 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: to read, uh, say hello to our friends of Papa John's, 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: and I want to let everybody know about the Ravens 25 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: Flock Special.

All right, let's read. 53 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: We get all these great emails to the lounge at 54 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: Ravens dot NFL dot net, and we're gonna finally read 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: one here because this one comes from our guy Neil 56 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: from Portland, who by the way, was the common Man 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: creator came up with the name well done Neil. So 58 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: Neil got the poster right, and you must have got 59 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: the post whatever he hung that. I want to I 60 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: want to hear about the Oh wait, he might have 61 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: something about that in here, alright, scrolling down, scrolling back up. 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: All right, So he says, still happy about creating the 63 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: common name. But I just gotta get this out of 64 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: the way real quick before I explode what is wrong 65 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: with our offense all day today? He sent this on Sunday, 66 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: it looked as though any pass further than twenty yards 67 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: was off the table. We ran the ball well, and 68 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: sleeper Bobby Rainey had the huge pump return well as 69 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: a kick return. But but for the rest of the team, 70 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 1: nothing from the big three. So he's concerned about the offense. 71 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: There's a lot more here, There's a lot more ranting, 72 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna keep going. Yeah, I'm gonna summarize. Well, 73 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: we'll give you a quick thought, our quick thoughts, and 74 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 1: then we're gonna get into this interview with Mike and 75 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: ask Mike about this and see what he has to say. 76 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: I mean, I think that obviously the passing game is 77 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: not anywhere where it needs to be, you know, specifically 78 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: on Sunday. I think the biggest issue on Sunday was 79 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: that the Ravens had too many key drops, and that 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: led to two of those drops led to interceptions, one 81 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: of them lent to a touchdown. Another one was not 82 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: a drop, but it was a funnel with the twenty 83 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: yard line by Max Williams. Those three plays turned the 84 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: game in my mind. If those three plays go a 85 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: different way, I think that this is a totally different 86 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: game and the Ravens win on Sunday. I think you 87 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: have a strong case there. I mean, but the the 88 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: issue is that there's been It's been one thing or 89 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: another with the passing game every single week, right. I mean, 90 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: sometimes Joe just hasn't played well, and he's admitted to it, 91 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, he said I sucked or whatever. Other Times 92 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line hasn't blockball enough, he hasn't had enough 93 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: time to throw. Now it's you know, the wide receiver 94 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: has made it drops. Chris Matthews stumbled in the back 95 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: of the end zone for what should have been a touchdown. 96 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: So this one was a tough game for the wide receivers. 97 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: It's just everything to have a good passing attack. Everything's 98 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: gonna come together. You know. It's not like defense where 99 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: one guy can be out of position and the other 100 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: guy's gang tackle the guy. Offense. Everybody for the most 101 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: part has to be clicking on every play for it 102 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: to have success. And the Ravens right now have too 103 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: many deficiencies that they need to clean up where something 104 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: goes wrong on too many plays, so they got to 105 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:51,799 Speaker 1: clean that up. With that in mind, let's go ahead 106 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: and welcome in our guests today. Who is going to 107 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: give us some answers on this conversation. That's Wide Receiver 108 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. And we're absolutely glad to have Mike here 109 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 1: back in the Louses, another two time guests, one of 110 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: the few people we've had in the Lats twice. So 111 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm glad to have Mike back here. Thanks for coming 112 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: on first of all, and to start this off, I 113 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: want to continue the conversation that we were having off 114 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: air about whether you've ever bought anything off Craigslist. Yeah, right, 115 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: I was just talking about how I'm Craigslist guy.

I didn't even 118 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: know what crazy this was. I don't think I was 119 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: already in NFL. Somebody asked me, like, you should go 120 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 1: on cill I told me you should go on Craig Listen, 121 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: and get out, like what is that. I'm like, I've 122 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: never heard of it. And that's when they told me 123 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: it was kind of like eBay and that's what I 124 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: was used to. Like I said, I'm an e big guy. 125 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: Right before you get off. I got everything off eBay. 126 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: Like Clese.

Nothing too crazy, though, 130 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: I would think you would probably have like the hook 131 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: up with one of the company. It's like Nike. You 132 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: could be able to call somebody and say, hey, I 133 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: know these were limited, really you know, let me get 134 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: a pair. Yeah, but it's I don't really do it 135 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: because it's only gonna be like one or two pair 136 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: of shoes I want.

So, Mike, one thing I want to kind 155 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: of clear up is I feel like there's this this terrible, 156 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: like false there's this false perception about you, and it's 157 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: like misconstrued quotes like the one earlier this year, you know, 158 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: I want the ball and all that stuff. It's always 159 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: you're misconstrued, I think, and like people don't understand how 160 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: hard a worker you are and how selfish you are 161 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: in a team guy. So can you talk a little 162 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: bit about that? Does that bother you? Do you not care? Care, honestly. 163 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: And the reason I don't care because it's like everybody 164 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: who I'm really around my teammates saying my coaches didn't 165 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: know what type of person I am and how I am, 166 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: So it really doesn't bother me. I've heard that time before, 167 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: but it's like, like, whoa, you know, I didn't just 168 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: come here and start, you know, acting the way I 169 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: am now. I've been the same person my whole life, 170 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: every every team I've ever been on, Like, I've always 171 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: been cool with everybody in the media, but I always 172 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: been cool with my teammates, my coaches, Like I never 173 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: really had a problem with anybody. I had to fall 174 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: out of Miami, but you know that was a whole 175 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: another story. But you know, people just trying to paint 176 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: a pain of picture of you and they don't even 177 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: really know you. So you can't fo people who don't 178 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: They don't really know you. So I mean, it is 179 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: what it is. It comes with the territory, so I 180 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: just just roll with it. Were talking about Miami, Uh, 181 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: the more interesting team is coming up this Sunday. You 182 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: got a little bit of history with those guys. Uh, 183 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: you know they released you after one year. I remember 184 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: when we were getting ready to play Miami last year, 185 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: and you were like, I don't hold any of well 186 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: because those guys they paid me a bunch, Thank you 187 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: very much, Miami Dolphins. Now the Vikings, is it a 188 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: different story with Nay they paid me a lot of 189 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: money too. Yeah. Yeah, we were all good and I 190 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 1: love playing that honestly. It was just that, you know, 191 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: when I got there, we had a young quarterback, love Teddy, 192 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: one one of the best guys I've ever been around 193 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: football period. Like from a personal standpoint, he great guy. Uh. 194 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: I just wanted more opportunity to, you know, go down 195 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: the field and get some shots, which you know at 196 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: the time we really just wasn't doing that. We had 197 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: probably top two or three defense in the league there yet, 198 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: and we had Adrian Peterson who was the lead league wrestling. 199 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: So I understand the situation that I went into, and 200 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: I think when I left people kind of took it 201 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: ran about Teddy, like I didn't want to play with Teddy, 202 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: that was my guy. I love. It's just that, you know, 203 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: football is not Teddy. It's up to Teddy to get 204 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: me the ball or this, so that it's it's different 205 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: situations in football and something he can control that he 206 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,719 Speaker 1: can't control, the same as myself. So you know, there's 207 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: a lot of different factors going to football. So you 208 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: you know, people took it and try to make it 209 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: like you know, I didn't want to play there. I 210 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: don't even know why, honestly, like I didn't want to 211 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 1: play that, But honestly, Teddy was one of my best 212 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: friends on the team. Love beinglve playing on the team 213 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 1: with him. I just was looking for a fresh start 214 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: and you know, wanting to be able to go out 215 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: and make some play. We will be given the opportunity. 216 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: It was interesting. I talked to Mike Zinber at the 217 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: owners meetings after the Rabbits first signed you, and he 218 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: talked about how he praised the fact of you were 219 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: such a hard worker. You know, he kind of I 220 00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: felt like he went out of his way to say 221 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: that you, like you guys had a relationship to work 222 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: every single day, and I was like that stuck with 223 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: me because I was like, they obviously just released you, 224 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: but they were saying at the time, hey, this is 225 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: a guy that works so hard a single day. And 226 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, like I said, football comes down to situations 227 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: and sometimes they just don't work out, and you know 228 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: money is going to be the main factor all the time. 229 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: So uh, you know, you when you don't produce to 230 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: a level that you get't pay that whether it's your 231 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: father or not, you know, the things happen. It's football 232 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: is business. I don't understand. So I don't have any 233 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: hard feelings towards those guys. Like I said when I 234 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: was there, I love coach down You know, it's one 235 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 1: of my favorite coaches that ever played for throughout the 236 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: time I've been playing football. Just the way he's intense 237 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: and the way he goes about his business and gets 238 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: the team ready to play. You know, I respect them 239 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: for that, and my teammates were great. You know, I 240 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 1: love playing it. It's just like I said, sometimes the 241 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: situations and football that you can't control and you just 242 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: you just go with it and you roll with it. 243 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: So obviously you're not going to this game with like 244 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:55,719 Speaker 1: ill will built up to them. But is there any 245 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: party that saying, like, all right, you guys made your 246 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: businesses decision. I made my businesses, say, and now I 247 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: want to go and prove to you that business that's 248 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: every week though, Like I honestly like it's kind of 249 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: it don't really make a difference like that I played there. Honestly, 250 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: it's like every week I want to go for two 251 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: three hundred yards. If I can't, obviously that it doesn't 252 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: go that way. But I don't care if I play 253 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: on your team. I don't care if you know I 254 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: grew up. I don't care if my dad was coaching 255 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: the team, own the team, who I'm playing against. I 256 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: want to go crazy every week. I want to get 257 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: off every week. I want my team to win by 258 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: a hundred points if we can't every week, I don't 259 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: care who we play. Read the relationship. Like I said, 260 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: it could be my mom my dad. But once we 261 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: step on the field, I'm playing against you. I wanted 262 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: to destroy you like that. My motivation is not going 263 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: to change because once I get out, my motivation is 264 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: to make play for my team man, and you know, 265 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 1: get the crowd on their feet. So I don't care 266 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: if I play with you're not that don't matter. Like 267 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: once we get on the field, all that goes out 268 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 1: the window. I just want to win. Like where does 269 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: where does that confidence come from? You were like eternally confident. 270 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: It's just what it is. My dad is like that. 271 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: But I think it's just like growing up with my friends, 272 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: my circle of friends, we fussed so much about being 273 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: the best at just whatever, it doesn't matter. I get 274 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: into it with these guys so much that I have 275 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: to have confidence. Like, if you don't have confidence going 276 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: into argument with them, you're gonna be dead. When you're 277 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: gonna cry, you gonna you're not gonna wanna go back 278 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 1: around them. So when you come in, you better have 279 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: all the confidence all the animals. So no matter what happens, 280 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna have some good things happen, some 281 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: bad things happen, But you are who you are then, 282 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,679 Speaker 1: so you know you still have that and you just 283 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: got a roll with So that was your childhood that 284 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: you're talking about. Like on the kickball courts, I'm talking 285 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: about my whole life from everything, just my friends and 286 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: my surrounding is just always competitive. So like my confidence 287 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: has to be up. If not, like I'm not gonna 288 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: make it. See, I think I like that in Receiver. 289 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: I think Ryan I agree on this. I like a 290 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: little diva in the Receiver. I like he says I 291 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: want the ball, give me the ball. The best is 292 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: it if you want to practice every single day, I 293 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: don't care. If you do something every single day and 294 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: time after time, at the time, you you're gonna feel 295 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: like you're good at it. You're gonna feel like, all right, 296 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: I've practiced this situation enough to where I can go 297 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: outhead and make this play and I know this guy 298 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 1: standing in front of me can't stop me. That's just 299 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: the way I feel, and that's what it is. So 300 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: if you don't want guys on your team like that, 301 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: you're not gonna win too many football games, right. You know, 302 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: it's good. It's just like anything else. When when everything 303 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: is going well, it's gonna be all good and you're 304 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: gonna love it. But sometimes when it goes the opposite way, 305 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: then yourselfish and people gonna be like, well, you know, 306 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: he just wants to do this for yourself. This. No, 307 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 1: it's just that I do this every day. I've been 308 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: in this situation and I'm out here and I work hard, 309 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: and I want to put everybody that I can do 310 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: this and I know I can help us one who's 311 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: your who's your favorite quote unquote diva receiver of all time? 312 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: My favorite play?

What's been your best like Teo like moments, 331 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: what's your top deva? But I was like when no 332 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: kids are talking about Mike Wallace, you know, like you 333 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: were TL and they're like, you know what, I love 334 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: this about my glass? What moment they gonna point to 335 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: I don't know you. Yeah, that's really good. I'm not 336 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: really that diva. I just like get hype like far. 337 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: It's like I don't have that many good celebrations like TiO. 338 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: Like when I go home, I'm going to play NBA 339 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: to K. It's like TiO and those guys go home 340 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: and dancing the mirror and yeah, work on their next celebration. Me, 341 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to the park and get up 342 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: some threes on NBA two K. So I don't have 343 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: time to work on my celebrations. But you know, uh, 344 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: that's one thing my cousin always get on me, like 345 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: you have to celebrate some more, Like give me some more. Yeah, 346 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: my team, my teammates love it when I get hype, 347 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: but my cousins don't want to see that. They want 348 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: to see me do something O'Dell type that. I'm like, 349 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: cause I don't. I can't even dance like that. I 350 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: can't even dance that good. So like my celebration, I 351 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: can celebrate, but my dance is not that good. So 352 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: like it's not gonna look the same. You gotta get 353 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: it orchestrated. That's what I just gotta practice it and 354 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: practice with your teammates. You got a game plan. I mean, 355 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: it's like anything else. It is a lot better now 356 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: that there's a lot better now since they did this, 357 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: you can just come up with all types of crazy stuff. 358 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: Before you kind of had to be creative and have 359 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: your own celebration because you can celebrate with anybody else. 360 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: But now that you can do it like celebrate with 361 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: other people, it makes it so much easier. And the 362 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: thing is, we just have to score some more touchdown. 363 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: So if you get those celebrations off, like, no matter 364 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: how many times you practice them, if you're not scoring 365 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: the testown, you're not gonna be able to celebrate them. 366 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 1: So we gotta just get an endz on some more 367 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: so we can just bring those up. You have team celebrations, yes, definitely. Alright, alright, 368 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: so so you did the segway for us there, all right, 369 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: So we're talking about getting many enso more so. Everyone's 370 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: got different theories about what it's gonna take to fix 371 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: us offense. So from you, what needs to happen to 372 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: fix the offense right now? Mm hmm. I think as 373 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: pass catches, we just have to be better for Joe 374 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: you know, there's some situations where it's tough situations and 375 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: he's scrambling and is making good throws and you know 376 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 1: we're not coming down with those players sometimes. Uh, and 377 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: just taking more shots. I think we just have to 378 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: be more aggressive sometimes, uh, because we have I think 379 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: the fastest to see what corps in the NFL, So 380 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 1: we have to put it to use a little bit 381 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: more sometimes, I think. And just guys being accountable. I 382 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: think our coaches put us in great situations. We just 383 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: have to execute a little bit better sometimes. Uh. And 384 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 1: just play with confidence. You know. Sometimes you know throughout 385 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: the game it's not gonna go to what you want. 386 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 1: You just can't get flat. You just always have to 387 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: continue to be confident, believing each other and motivating each 388 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: other throughout the game. And I think we'll be fine. 389 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: Obviously in Klan was easy to stay up yarder on 390 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: the very first play of the game. What do you guys, 391 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: do you know if the first drive doesn't go well 392 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: for the first two or whatever, you know, do you 393 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: think it is a conversation that you guys need to 394 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: have on the sideline or somebody needs to be like, 395 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: all right, let's stay up here. Let's yeah, yeah, I 396 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: think we do. I think like in the heddo you 397 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: have guys that say something. Of course myself, I'm always 398 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: say something like every single drive, like you know, whether 399 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: it's going good or bad, I'm gonna still have something 400 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: to say. But at the same time, you do have 401 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: guys who just blocking on their jobs and like, all right, 402 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,439 Speaker 1: I'm focused now, you know, uh, you know, you might 403 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: get beat on one play or something like that, and 404 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: then guys you know, they're ready to go. But at 405 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, you get down on these 406 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: drive sometimes you just have to find a way out 407 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 1: of that funk because it gets tough. Sometimes you get 408 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,960 Speaker 1: on the road, it gets loud, you can't hear. There's 409 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: a lot of situations, but you just have to know. 410 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,479 Speaker 1: You gotta trust your preparation, trust your training, and just 411 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: know that you still all that guy like nobody no 412 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: matter if I drop a ball, like nobody still can't 413 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: stop him. Uh if I get beat on the block, 414 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: like this guy really can't beat me, Like it doesn't 415 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: matter what happens, Like we all get paid, we all 416 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: you know, high quality. At least, it's just about I 417 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 1: think it comes down and who really wants them more 418 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: and who who's gonna step up and be all right, 419 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna win might one on one matchup. Every time 420 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: you talk about confidence and it's suppressed me the way 421 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: I feel like you've really taken shot Harriman her wing 422 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: over the last couple of years. And like it seems 423 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: like you guys are always together. You're always talking to him, 424 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: You're always in his ear, he's always in your You 425 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: guys just seems like you're always together with it. It's 426 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: practiced during the games. And the thing that you always 427 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: talk about with him is that you want to keep 428 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: him confident. And it seemed just from an outside of 429 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: perspective that he has struggled with the confidence a little 430 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: bit and at times this year throughout his career, how 431 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 1: do you you know, how you see that progression and 432 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: how do you try to keep him confident when he's 433 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: having a tough starts the season. It's just I think, 434 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, we we just got to get him going, 435 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think he has so much ability. That's 436 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 1: just it's just like bottled up right now. Not not 437 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 1: from coaches at that point anything like that, just like 438 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: from not seeing all of the stuff he's able to 439 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: do like the explosion that he's has. That's why I'm 440 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: saying is bottled up because you the world hasn't really 441 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: really been able to see like the stuff we see 442 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: on a daily basis at practicing. You know, sometimes that 443 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,239 Speaker 1: could get frustrating for you, you know, and you just 444 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: have to keep believing in yourself. And it's been time, 445 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: is like and like I said, I have the most 446 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:02,919 Speaker 1: confidence in the world, but it's time when they get 447 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: tough on myself as well. But I keep talking to myself, like, 448 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: you gotta believe that. You know that you're still gonna 449 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: make this play. It's gonna be times in a game 450 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: where you're gonna drop the ball, you're gonna get hit hard, 451 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna run the wrong round to mess up. But 452 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 1: you you can't let that, you know, dictate the rest 453 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: of your game and how it's gonna go. You just 454 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,719 Speaker 1: have to how the mess up it is, what it is, 455 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: brush it off, and go to the next one in it. 456 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: You know, that's a lot easier to say than done sometimes. 457 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: So with him, you know, I just continue to talk 458 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: to him, let him know that, man, you're that guy. 459 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: You know, you were a first round pick and you 460 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: that for a reason, Like, no matter what anybody says, 461 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: whatever you go through, just continue to remember that you 462 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 1: you got picked right there for a reason because you 463 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: have that ability to be one of the best in 464 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: the game. And I think so every day and the 465 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: way he works. You know, it's just sometimes life things 466 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: unfortunate and they don't go to when you want at 467 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: that time. You just gotta continue to, you know, believe 468 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: in yourself and stay strong and have a strong mind 469 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 1: and know that you know, it's not always on your time, 470 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: you know, and when it happens, you just gotta believe 471 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen a lot, and it's gonna happen big. 472 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: You know. I don't think everybody always started their career fast. 473 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: You know, some people take a little bit more time. 474 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: But when it happens, you know, it happened. Been for him, man, 475 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: A lot of little guys are Hall of famous. So 476 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's just the timing. You just gotta stay 477 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: strong mentally no matter what happened. I mean, you're attestment 478 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: to that. This season, I mean, you didn't start off 479 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: particularly well for you. It's still times, you know, you know, 480 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: last week didn't go as well as I wanted to. 481 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: But I guarantee come tomorrow, I'm gonna start fresh again. Wednesday, 482 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: the whole new week. Let's get it again. I'm gonna 483 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: start the week like I'm the league leading receiver again, 484 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: like with the most confidence in the world, Like all right, 485 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 1: nobody still can't stop me, no matter what happens. Like 486 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: you have to continue to, you know, pounding in your 487 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,239 Speaker 1: own head like I'm that guy. I'm that guy, no 488 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: matter what happens. There's so much talking about the deep 489 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: passing game, and part of it's take more shots. And 490 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: it's like fans will watch the game will say, Okay, 491 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: you hit these deep plays to Mike against Oakland. Why 492 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: don't you just do that again. There's obviously more. It's 493 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: more complicated than just throw a deep that's what you do. 494 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: Nobody ever gets tired. You can run if they're doing 495 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 1: do it's fresh and all they need to one play 496 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: out in their back. You go around nine routes again 497 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: like you I mean, I might can. I mean, I'm 498 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: in pretty good shape, but tough. But like if you 499 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: do that, even on the game, you know you call 500 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: the time. Guys still might not come back in because 501 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: they're still tired. It's tough. You know, you can't just 502 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: back up and then you're gonna just throw the balls 503 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: on the feeling it's just gonna be complete. There's a 504 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: lot of more stuff work goes into that. You know, 505 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: guys take that away from us because they know the 506 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: type of players that we have as well, so they 507 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: always have that in the back of their heads, so 508 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,239 Speaker 1: they try to stay over the top of us. So 509 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: you gotta just pick and choose when you want to 510 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: take shots, and take them wisely, and just all you 511 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: can do is hope you can connect on them. You know, 512 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: it's a low percentage throw when you throw the ball, 513 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: I don't feel, but you know, fans want to see it. 514 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: We want to see our coaches want to see it 515 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: play as everybody. So we have to take those shots. 516 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: We don't have a choice, right Just what what do 517 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: you see it as kind of the next evolution of 518 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: this offense? Where where do you see it going from here? 519 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: Because obviously everybody came in and I think there's no 520 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 1: bones about it. Everybody wouldn't run the ball more more 521 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: effectively lean on the defense, right now, that was the 522 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: formula that everybody was pretty well, I don't know. I 523 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: was never that phone and I know and take big 524 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: and take shots. Oune, do you think that like that 525 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: is going to be the movie the formula moving forward 526 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: or is that kind of shifting now that the teams 527 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 1: three and three. I'm not sure, honestly, you know, as 528 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: we're sitting here right now, they're probably in the planning 529 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: scheming up what they're going to do with that. I'm 530 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: not sure. You know, I just go in start the 531 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: week on Tuesday Wednesday and just roll in whatever they 532 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: asked me to do what I do it. But uh, 533 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: you know, I think our plans to kind of change 534 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: a little bit as the course of the you're going 535 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: because we have we've had so many intry you know. 536 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: You know that kind of throws off with also, as 537 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: the coordinator can do with with certain players, you might 538 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: you might want to run a play that takes a 539 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 1: little bit more time, but you've lost two or three 540 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: of your top guys. So it's kind of how hard 541 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: to to do it the way you vision it and 542 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: working the way you visioning it to work when you 543 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: don't have everybody that you planned it from the beginning with. 544 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: So sometimes you know, you just have to like improvise 545 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: and come up with different schemes from that you originally 546 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: planning to go with because circumstances happen, things come up. So, uh, 547 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure exactly how we're gonna approach you going forward, 548 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure we have some really good coaches. 549 00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: They'll be in there, they'll have a good game plan 550 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: for us, and whatever they do, we just have to 551 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 1: make it work and be be the best at it. 552 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: The Vikers had a pretty good quarterback. It's really good 553 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: who not taking anything with from Xavier ri is obviously 554 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,000 Speaker 1: who's the best cornerback you've ever going against. I don't know, 555 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't really feel like no cornerback and really check me. 556 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 1: I you know, I honestly don't feel like any of 557 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: them could text me, But I don't know, man Like 558 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: being on different teams, I've gone against some really good 559 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 1: cornerbacks and you know, the guy who I think probably 560 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: he's definitely one of the best I played against. And 561 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if he just hands down 562 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: the best I've ever played against, but just impressed me 563 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 1: just there after. They probably had to be Brent Crimes, 564 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: just the way he worked in like the athlete. I've 565 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 1: never been around at lete like that guy. It's crazy, 566 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: like the way he flips his hips and jumps in 567 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: turns and it's crazy, like I know, he's like a ninja. 568 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 1: I've never seen a guy like like. Just from an 569 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: athletic standpoint, I think he's the best at leate corner 570 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: but from a physical just just as hard, hard work 571 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 1: every time. It's probably won't be ex Xavier Rose, He's 572 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: probably he's him and Jim is kind of like the same. 573 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: You know, they're tough to get around, like they're big cornerbacks. 574 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 1: You know, good feet, physical, so you know, guys like that, 575 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: they all kind of you know, lumped in the same. 576 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 1: But you know, but when you just go man and man, 577 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: I think it's different circumstances. Like I said, when you 578 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,840 Speaker 1: just go with a man and man cornerback, I probably 579 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: have to say. Patrick Peterson, he's another one is good. 580 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: Some good ones. Are you an NBA guy? NBA is 581 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: kicking off this here your team or this week? Your 582 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: team is who Lebron James? Your team? What team is 583 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,479 Speaker 1: your favorite team? Lebron James? Yeah, that's my team. So 584 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 1: whatever team he goes to, that's your while I met 585 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: since day one two thousand three, been that way. See 586 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 1: Garrett was a whiz on the Lebron jersey guy, but 587 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: I'm a cash fan from day one. Has some yellow states. 588 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 1: Oh that's that's tough. It's not that they have Lebron. Now, 589 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 1: it was tough there for a little bit. That's what 590 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying. What was day one? You're talking brother and 591 00:26:58,160 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: night days. No, Like, since I was a kid, I 592 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: always like the cast was Lebron all good team before 593 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: you started rooting for so I've been well, yeah, so 594 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: your whole life, You've been a whole life. I've been 595 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: a cast time. There were some tough times in there, 596 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: but Lebron came in the league in two thousand three. Yeah, 597 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. So you was pretty young. I 598 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 1: was pretty young at that. You're younger in middle school. Yeah. Yeah. 599 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: I was in like twelve grade his rookie year, so 600 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 1: you had to be in like tan grade. Yeah. So 601 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 1: then we had the brond at that point. So I've 602 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: had some good times. And then he wanted did you 603 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: measure your life milestones? Like what great I was in 604 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 1: when Lebron came in? I don't remember. I was. I remember. 605 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: I have a certain moments in my life when I 606 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: remember where I was when Lebron did like what when 607 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: when the Cast obviously won the title, when Lebron left, 608 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,439 Speaker 1: when Lebron came back, when the Cast found out they 609 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: were going to get the first pick and get Lebron. 610 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: I remember where I was during all Where you were 611 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:49,160 Speaker 1: when Lebron left? You had a gasoline cannon one matches 612 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: in the other. I still have you still have the jersey? 613 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: I know you didn't know you didn't. I didn't know 614 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: you didn't.
