You're seeing a lot 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: of South Florida kids stay at home. University of Miami 42 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 3: is back to the way the University of Miami always 43 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: did things. And now we're in the big game and 44 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: that's right where we want to be at. 45 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: I mean the flip side too, it is Miami's playing 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: Indiana in this game like you were. You showed up 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: to the Hoosier State in nineteen ninety nine when I'm 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: this is still a basketball state when you got here, 49 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: but you were kind of on that front like path 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: of turning this state from a basketball state to a 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: football state. Like what do you remember about the early 52 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: days of being here in Indiana and the impact football 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: had on this state back when you were here playing 54 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: for the Colts. 55 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's always known Indian Island with basketball state. 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 3: You always have respect them from the basketball staff. But 57 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 3: football as taking over and they have a great coach, 58 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: great organization over there in Indiana be doing all the 59 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 3: things that it takes to win. If you look at 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: where the coach comes from, he's coming from out of 61 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: the nicksaving tree, which is the same as our coach. 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: So you got two guys with pretty much the same 63 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: philosophy that's gonna be going ahead to end. 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: So that's what's gonna make it so cool. 65 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: And when you first get Indiana, you know, the one 66 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 3: thing I noticed when I first got there, every every 67 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: house had a basketball court outside of their house, and 68 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: it was strictly basketball, but it instantly turned into a 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: football state. 70 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: We did some great things. 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: I think the whole state gravitated to the football aspect 72 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 3: and they've added to added to their repertoire, so to speak, 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 3: like Indiana does basketball and football now. And that's what 74 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: made this game is gonna be so great because you 75 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: have two teams that are hungry, two teams that really 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 3: want I mean, obviously every team wants to win, but 77 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 3: these two teams. 78 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: Indiana wants to get their first championship. 79 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 3: Miami wants to get back to where it's been in 80 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 3: the past. So that's what makes this game so great. 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: And for myself, it's just great to. 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 2: Be a part of it. 83 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: And knowing that I have Indiana ties, that makes it 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: even better because I have a lot of friends coming down. 85 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: I've actually talked to some of the Big Three, you know, 86 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 2: the Big three from the coast, Kayln Carley and Kayln 87 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: they both and I think two of them went to IU. 88 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 3: So we've been going back and forth talking about this game, 89 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get. 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: A chance to see them why they're down here.

I mean, was it like having 179 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: an owner who knew ball the way that mister s 180 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: a new ball and by the way the way that 181 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: Carly certainly knows ball. As you know, someone who's out 182 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: there who's playing taking three hundred carries a season. To 183 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: be able to have an owner who understands football like, 184 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: what impact did that have on your career? 185 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: No, that's great, and that's the thing that brings you 186 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 3: close because you know, sports actually bring you together. But 187 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: the conversation and the deeper the insight and information it 188 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: actually takes it to another level makes it even better 189 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: because you can shut up there and talk ball and 190 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: you're not just talking about certain fastest. 191 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 2: Were talking about every faster and they actually get it. 192 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 3: And when you see Carly out there, Carly understands the place, 193 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 3: you understand the concept she's she's. 194 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: Like really driven to really know what's going on. 195 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: And a lot of time, you know, as players, you 196 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 3: look at this thing and you always you always think 197 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: it's this business business. No, it's personal with them. You 198 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: know they're going to do everything that it takes. But 199 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 3: they're not only going to say, oh, you should do this, 200 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: so you should do that. They're gonna have the wives 201 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 3: behind it. 202 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit about Jonathan Taylor. Obviously, who 203 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: better to ask about Jonathan Taylor than you edge. He 204 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: averaged one hundred and fourteen yards per game going through 205 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 1: Week ten, and then in the last seven games of 206 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: the season that dropped down to about sixty three yards 207 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: per game. What, in your mind is the biggest reason 208 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,960 Speaker 1: for that fifty yard difference from weeks one to ten 209 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: through week's twelve to eighteen. 210 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: For him, Well, it would just get started. 211 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 3: You know, this team had just started coming together and 212 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 3: started hitting the stride and trying to really get to 213 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 3: know each other. That's one thing I would think people 214 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: really understand that. You know, it's one thing to just 215 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 3: plug a good player with another player, but to actually 216 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: get a chance to understand each other and know the 217 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: strength and the weaknesses. Those things right there play a 218 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 3: big part. And when you have the quarterback go down 219 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: and you have the whole scheme has a change, you 220 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 3: have to make so many adjustment. You know, it affects everybody. 221 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: It doesn't affect just the quarterback player or the run 222 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 3: back player. It affects the whole team entirely. And that's 223 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: one thing that you've seen happen this year because we 224 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 3: had Daniel Jones go down, and when he goes down, 225 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 3: we got to make so many adjustments, and I think 226 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 3: shame them did the best. 227 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: They could try to figure out what way could. 228 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: We put ourselves in position to actually continue doing this, 229 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 3: And when you come to JT, they he's doing everything 230 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: that he could do. But in those circumstances, it's tough, 231 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 3: very tough to try to maintain one hundred and fourteen 232 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 3: yards a. 233 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 2: Game when you have a new quarterback. You have this situation. 234 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: In those different situations that affects the whole because there's 235 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 3: a team game, and anybody thinks that it's just one 236 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 3: person and go out and do these things on their own, 237 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 3: they're pretty much illusional because this is a game that 238 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 3: everybody leans on everybody and that's that what makes the 239 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: braave the game so great. 240 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: How hard is it to pivot in the middle of 241 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: a season, like you know the Colts had to do, 242 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 1: I mean knowing what the Colts is like using the 243 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: injuries as an excuse because you can't as a coach 244 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: GM owner, But like as a player, how hard is 245 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: that pivot when it's like, all right, you know the 246 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: offense that we had been working on and building on 247 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, now you get this huge wrench 248 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 1: thrown in it with Daniel Jones of the fibuli and 249 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: not ultimately the Achilles, Like, how hard is that to 250 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: deal with that? 251 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 3: No, it's very hard because you work so hard to 252 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 3: perfect what you're doing, and you spend so much time. 253 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: You go from training camp to the preseason to the 254 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: regular season, and you start building momthally, you start understanding 255 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: each other and start understanding in these situations, we have 256 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,079 Speaker 3: to do these things. 257 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: But then now it's like, oh, we got to start 258 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: all the way back home. We gotta get back up 259 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: to speed. 260 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 3: And that's something that you know, that's why you're in 261 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 3: the professional You know, you're in the NFL because. 262 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: It's not easy. 263 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 3: Not anybody can just get up there and go play 264 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 3: and things are just going to click like that. It 265 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 3: takes a lot of time, a lot of energy, a 266 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 3: lot of getting to know each other and the little 267 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: things Matten. 268 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 1: You mentioned Daniel Jones, he's obviously you know rehabbing the 269 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 1: Achilles right now. You you had to deal with the 270 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: significant injury during your career with the ACL. What is 271 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: something about rehabbing a significant injury as an NFL player 272 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: that you can't no one can understand unless you have 273 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: been through it. 274 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: Well, the first thing is you are not were when 275 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: you first get back out. You got to kind of 276 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 3: relearn yourself, learn the things that you can do and 277 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: the things you can't do, and the injuries, they effect 278 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 3: certain things. You start compensating, you start leaning on the 279 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 3: other side of the body more than you probably would 280 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 3: have normally, and it's just a dominant effect. But it's 281 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 3: a progression. Also, you have to take your time at 282 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 3: the ease and that you can't go into us and 283 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 3: I know I can do this, I know I can 284 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 3: do that. You have to say, okay, you have to 285 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 3: ask your body, what will you allow me to do? 286 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: What am I kid? Will are doing now? And then 287 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 3: you build on that. 288 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you this. I think sometimes 289 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: in the media and just the way football's talked about, 290 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, he's got an ACL, he'll be back 291 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: in eight months, or he's got the Achilles, he'll be back, 292 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: and he got the surgery and he'll be back. But like, 293 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes we miss as people who talk 294 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: about it and who aren't having their bodies cut open, 295 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: Like going through surgery is a big deal. What was 296 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: that the first surgery you went through with the ACL, 297 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 1: and like, what do you remember about that experience? 298 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: Now? 299 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: That was the first time I've ever been heard, that 300 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: was the first time I ever went under the night and. 301 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: Had to go through that stuff. But I had to 302 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: change my game. You had to change the game. 303 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 3: You have to make so many adjustments because you know, 304 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 3: when you're out there and you're young, you just go 305 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 3: all day and you say, okay, I can play sixty 306 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: seventy snaps a game. 307 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: But then now your body tells you, hey. 308 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: This is a little bit too much, and so you 309 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 3: have to ease and to it and you have to 310 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: go step by step. So it's more so than what 311 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 3: other people said is said you're learning yourself also. 312 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: I guess like the other part of that is, like 313 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 1: what do you remember about that day you had surgery? 314 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: Like were you nervous? Were you like, you know, were 315 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: you already thinking about rehab? Like how did you handle that? 316 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: Like getting wheeled in put under? That whole process of 317 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: going through that surgery. 318 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: The surgery was new to me. I really didn't know 319 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: what to expect. 320 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 3: In my mind, I'm thinking, Okay, I'll go have this 321 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: surgery and I'm ready to come back and be edged. 322 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: But the process to rehab, all the things you have 323 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: to do to get back to just being normal, you know, 324 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 3: those things right there are something you have to learn 325 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: because in your mind you think you're untouched and you think, Okay, 326 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: I'm just going to heal and I'll be able to play. 327 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 3: But that's not that's not the case. It takes a 328 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 3: lot of rehab. It takes a lot of work that 329 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 3: you have to put in. You have to commit to it, 330 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: not committed to it. But there were times where I 331 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: was going putting in too much. And there's such thing 332 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: as overdoing things, and by you being a competitor and 333 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: you want to get out there for. 334 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: Your teammates, you want to ge. 335 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: Out there for yourself and play because that's all you know, 336 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: you end up doing too much and that right there. 337 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes setbacks happen when you do too much. So it's 338 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 3: just finding the right balance and you know, the rehab, 339 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 3: pushing yourself, not pushing yourself. And one of the most 340 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 3: important things to be the rest of recovery.

I guess, like, why why 421 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: do you want to get into that space and what 422 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: do you think you have to offer to uh, you know, 423 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: provide analysis and uh, you know, insight on a platform 424 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: like you know, Fox NFL Sunday. 425 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 3: I think that's what it is. It's about insight. You 426 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 3: have insight and you know football effortlessly. You know, that's 427 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 3: one thing that I know in sports in general. And 428 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 3: I think that's another way that for me, it's like 429 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 3: a somewhat of a mentorship for the younger guys to 430 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: get a chance to get advice from somebody that's been there, 431 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 3: done that, and also for the fans, you know, you 432 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: get little a whole lot of insight, you know, get 433 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: a lot of intel, not direct, not from somebody who 434 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: that's been around the game, somebody actually played the game. 435 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 2: And for myself. I think the. 436 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: Timing is it's pretty good right now because I'm I 437 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 3: love sports, I like being involved. I'm not into the 438 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 3: coaching thing, and this is one way that I could 439 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 3: give back to the game and just kind of pay 440 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 3: it forward. 441 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: It's funny, you know. You mentioned that, Like we have 442 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: Jack Doyle doing a podcast for us, and he said 443 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 1: he's had these conversations with like Luck where he's like, 444 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, you get this PhD in football during your 445 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: playing career and then you need to like have an 446 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: outlet for it when you're done. And it sounds like 447 00:20:58,520 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: it obviously you've got so much. 448 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 2: I loved it. 449 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: You said on Fox NFL Sunday about how like there's 450 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: not like a lot of running backs out there who 451 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: are doing it, so you can bring that like running 452 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: back perspective to it. But what was that experience like 453 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: for you doing live TV and you know, having to 454 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: you know, I see you hit an IFB in your 455 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: ear that that can be like an intimidating thing, even 456 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 1: for you know, former pro athlete. Like, what was that 457 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: experience like for you? 458 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 2: It was too easy? Was it? I love it? 459 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 3: Of course I was, you know for myself when you 460 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 3: know when you know something and you're passionate about it, 461 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: like I know sports, and it's just a matter of 462 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 3: delivering it to the people, trying to make sure that 463 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 3: people understand, you know, what's really going on, because a 464 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 3: lot of time things are coming from they're coming secondhand, 465 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 3: and somebody's getting information based upon what somebody told them. 466 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: And for myself, it's like when I look at television, 467 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 3: I like to speak to somebody who has actually been there, 468 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 3: done that. It's like, you're not going to go and 469 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 3: try to go in some career or to venture into 470 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: something and get advice from somebody who has never done it. 471 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 3: Does it really you know, that haven't really experienced And 472 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 3: not to take away from the guys that do this 473 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: that has not that has not played at this level, 474 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: but I just think it brings another element to the 475 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 3: game when you get somebody that actually played the game. 476 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: Somebody knows the game and you actually talk the game 477 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 3: every day. And when you're talking about the young kids 478 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: that are on the parks, you know, we're out there 479 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 3: watching these kids develop. We're out there actually helping those 480 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 3: guys become, you know, whatever they get a chance to become. 481 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: From your past experience and then you only get to 482 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 3: meet so many. But if you actually get on the 483 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 3: television and you actually get in front of a bigger audience, 484 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 3: you can help more people. 485 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: You can provide more insight. 486 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 3: And that's one thing that that I say, I don't 487 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 3: mind doing long as it wasn't controversial stuff where I 488 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 3: have to diss somebody. I have to go out and 489 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 3: do all this stuff to be little somebody. I'm like, 490 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,160 Speaker 3: I'll turn that stuff down. But it's something that's positive 491 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: and you can give constructive criticism. You can talk based 492 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: upon facts and know how and your personal experiences. 493 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 2: I think that's what's needed. 494 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: You are one hundred percent correct. That is what is 495 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: needed more in media is like actual just you know, 496 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 1: positive conversations and yeah, you can be critical, but you're 497 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: not doing it in a way where you're burying someone. 498 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: I think that's great. I thought I thought you did 499 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: a great job on it, and I loved it. You 500 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 1: kind of talked about like Saquon right, like they're asking you, 501 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: like why is in Saquon you know, running it like 502 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: we saw last year, And I thought your analysis of 503 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: it was really good and it was insightful. And I 504 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: also think too, like if you're talking about like how 505 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: you can inspire other people, like, I don't know, maybe 506 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: did you think about like, you know, hey, if you're 507 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: like maybe a high school running back or like you know, 508 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: an eighth grader and like you're struggling to kind of 509 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: get going. But you see what you said about Saquon, 510 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 1: It's like, well, yeah, it can happen in the NFL too, 511 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: Like how how inspirational you know, do you think that 512 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: can be for you using the you know, your platform 513 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: like that. 514 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: No, I think it's great, and I think it's missing 515 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: a lot of time when you talk to a lot 516 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: of kids, or you even talk to anybody's in the game, 517 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 3: or a lot of parents come that they're scourged because 518 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 3: everybody goes off stats, you know stats sort of thing 519 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: that says, hey, you had a great game or you 520 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 3: didn't have a great game. Win for me, I never 521 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 3: looked at the stats because the stats are going to 522 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: take care of himself. But what did you do to 523 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: impact the game? What did you do to impact the situation? 524 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 3: Did you do your job? You know that you if 525 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 3: you are if you were running back and you say 526 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 3: and they say, okay, yeah, he didn't have one hundred yards, 527 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 3: but he converted for crucial third downs third and one. 528 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 3: He did his job, and that's what it's about. It's 529 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 3: a team game, is about doing your job. And I 530 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 3: just think bringing those different perspectives to the game and 531 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 3: actually to the people, it eliminates a lot of excuses 532 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 3: because you got some guys they can they can go 533 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: and they might get two sacks in the game, right, 534 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 3: but they still lose the game. 535 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: Did they impact the game? Did they help their team? 536 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 3: But statistically it says, hey, they're leading the league in sacks, 537 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 3: so they're doing these great things. When it's about the 538 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 3: whole game, and I try to look at the game 539 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 3: as a whole, like what did it do to help? 540 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: You know, when playing for the coach, you know there's 541 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 3: a time and the place that you're not going to 542 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: get to carry the ball, you're not going. 543 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 2: To get the carries. But did you get up there 544 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 2: pick up the blitz? 545 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 3: Did you get up there and help the team when 546 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: it needed when it needed you the most? And I 547 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 3: think that's the thing that's kind of frustrating right now 548 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 3: for a lot of people. And I like, I look 549 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 3: at the situation in Philadelphia, for example, you know, you 550 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 3: have a guy like aj Brown, you know he's frustrated. 551 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: You know, you want the targets, you want to play, 552 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 3: you want to be a part of something. But at 553 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 3: the same time, the game is not flowing that way. 554 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: But in his defense, you think about what is he 555 00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 3: going to be judged by. He's going to be judged 556 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 3: by did he catch the ball? Did he have statistically 557 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 3: a great game? And now if you don't have great stats, 558 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 3: now you're not gonna get a big contract. You don't 559 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,400 Speaker 3: get a big contract. You're like, man, but I did 560 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: everything they asked me to do. So it's about putting 561 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 3: things in perspective. And I think that's what's missing because 562 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 3: everybody's gonna jump on the fantasy bandwagon. They said, Okay, 563 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 3: I got fantasy points. Okay, how do you get fantasy 564 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 3: points by statistically? You know, but didn't impact the game, 565 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: didn't help the team. And I think that's what's missing 566 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 3: because you're judged by something and then is it really 567 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 3: helping or hurting the organization? And I just try to 568 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 3: look at it from every perspective where you can tell 569 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: a team, you can tell a guy like, look, man, 570 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 3: you may not have had a great game. Statistically, but 571 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 3: you converted that third down, you made that important catch, 572 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: you did something that helped. 573 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: The whole And that's the thing that get a lot. 574 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 3: Of criticisms from from the media or even from the 575 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 3: fans when a guy doesn't do a certain thing, but 576 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 3: he did his job. He like say, a guy he 577 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 3: runs his route, he runs the receiver off and now 578 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 3: your running backs able to have a big run, or 579 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 3: he go out there and he blocks for the running 580 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 3: back and vice versa. So those things right there are 581 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 3: the insight that that's missing a lot of time. 582 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 1: Who on the Colts is like one of those guys 583 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 1: for you, who you're like, yeah, you know, maybe he's 584 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: not the you know, he's not getting twenty touchdowns like JT. 585 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: But who You're like, that guy does his job and 586 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't get enough credit. 587 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 3: Well, I think when you look at the if the 588 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 3: running backs having a lot of success and usually come 589 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 3: from the offensive line, and also the wide receivers. 590 00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 2: The wide receivers they're out there blocking, they're on their man. 591 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 3: If you look at the Coats when JT's making those 592 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 3: big runs, you have the receivers they're on their guy, 593 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 3: they're blocking down the field. You have everybody doing their job. 594 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 3: So they may. 595 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: Say, Pittman, you might not you're not having a great. 596 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: Year statistically, but he's doing what he's asked to do. 597 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 2: He's blocking, and it's the reason you have those things. 598 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: It's like when Peyton and marb they're getting all these 599 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 3: catches and touchdowns. It's like, you may not you didn't 600 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,719 Speaker 3: have a two hundred yard game or you didn't have this. 601 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 2: The game didn't dictate that, you know. 602 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 3: The game didn't didn't say, hey, it's time to run 603 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 3: the ball. It's time to put the ball in your hands. 604 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 3: So it's a lot of give and take, and I 605 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 3: think that's what happened. When you see a running back 606 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 3: having the big runs, it comes from first of all, 607 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 3: he has to be good, make the right decisions. 608 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: It starts up front, and then your receivers have to either. 609 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 3: Run somebody off or they got to be blocking somebody 610 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: because if not, you know, if they load the box 611 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 3: up and they don't have nobody to block, it's everybody. 612 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 2: It's like a free ball, and you never want that. 613 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,280 Speaker 1: Along those lines, what is your favorite game of your career? 614 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: Because I had a couple circle that I you know 615 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: that I was like, well, obviously it's got to be 616 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: like Seattle or Chicago and like O four. But what 617 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm hearing from you is are those your favorite games 618 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: or is it something else? 619 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 3: Well, they're statistically they're your favorite games because you got 620 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 3: a chance to show that you're capable of doing things. 621 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 3: But for me, it was the games like when we 622 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 3: come to Miami and we played against the Miami Dolphins, 623 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: and you know, you're playing in front of your friends 624 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 3: and your peers that you always you always grew up around. 625 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 3: Those were your favorite games, or those playoff games when 626 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 3: it's like it's a dog fight and you got to play, 627 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 3: and it's like you have to. 628 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 2: Find pride in doing your job. 629 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 3: Like for me, I can be in a game and 630 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: I can make a block and nobody never see it, 631 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,400 Speaker 3: but I felt so good about being able to make 632 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 3: that block if somebody, if the lineman may have had 633 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 3: a mental area and missed it, and I was able to. 634 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: Abort my route and go and make that block. Those 635 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 2: are things right there. 636 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 3: I used to always take pride in those things and 637 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 3: you don't get credit for them, but it's that enterprise 638 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: it say, look, man, I just helped out or I 639 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 3: just did my job and I did what I was 640 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 3: supposed to do to help the team. 641 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: All Right, I want to get you out of here 642 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: on this. You watch the modern game, what is something 643 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: about the way football is played today that you're just 644 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: like God? I wish, I wish I could get after 645 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: that as someone who played in a different era, even 646 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: of the NFL. 647 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 2: When I played the game, I did both. 648 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 3: If I was playing the game now, I will probably 649 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 3: be more focused on the receiving in I would probably 650 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 3: be focused on the route running because it's a it's 651 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 3: an instant it's an instant advantage for the running back 652 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 3: because of the way the game is set up. And 653 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 3: that's why I like watching McCaffrey. McCaffrey is like a 654 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 3: mismatch all day. And if you can play, if you 655 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 3: can do well in the passing game, like you're gonna. 656 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: Have a lot of fun out there. 657 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 3: You're gonna have a lot of fun nowadays because right 658 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 3: now the mismatches know they work in the running backs 659 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 3: favor if you can actually receive that ball. 660 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: But also running backs today, I mean you talked about 661 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: blitz pick ups. Obviously, teams have been blitzing forever, but 662 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: like these like sim pressures where I think like it 663 00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: was like dickla bow is the one who kind of 664 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: pioneered it with the Steelers. But it's like you got 665 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: these two linebackers mugged up over the center and you 666 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: got to figure out which four are coming. It's trying 667 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: to keep the running back in because those running like 668 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: you talked about, those running back targets are so valuable. 669 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 1: Is there anything too, like the complexity of blitzes that 670 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: you look at and you're like, man, like that would 671 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 1: have been like fun to kind of get with Peyton 672 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: and like diagnose these things. 673 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 3: Not because it's all the more you prepare, the easier 674 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 3: the game comes. And on the defensive, on the deepense 675 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 3: side of the ball, there's certain things they can do. 676 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 3: You know, they can come and they can mug up 677 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 3: and they can act like they're coming. 678 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: But it's still a count system. You know. 679 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 3: It's if it's three, if it's four on the shell, 680 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 3: it's seven in the box, and that means the lineman 681 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 3: has five and you're either gonna have this. 682 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 2: One or that one. You know, it's not really complex. 683 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: It's a simple game. 684 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 3: It's just sometimes we make it a little more complicated 685 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 3: than it actually is. But the game is very simple 686 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: when you break the numbers down. If you see three, 687 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 3: if you see three high, that means it's eight in 688 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:16,240 Speaker 3: the box. 689 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: That mean hey, something might happen. 690 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 3: But if you see four and somebody back, they don't 691 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 3: have a chance. That you have a quarterback like Peyton, 692 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 3: you know he's gonna dissect that thing so fast. 693 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: It's gonna be so easy. 694 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 3: So I'm I never was intimidated or tripping on what 695 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 3: the defense down because once you understand concepts, there's only 696 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 3: so many things that they can do. 697 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: All right. 698 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: Last one for you, Edge, you made it to the 699 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: pinnacle of the NFL. You're in the Hall of fame. 700 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: If you could give like one piece of advice, the 701 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: most important piece of advice to kids who are playing 702 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: high school, you know, middle school, pop worn or whatever 703 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: it might be. What is the one thing you would 704 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: tell them about what it takes to make it not 705 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: just in college, not just in the NFL, but like 706 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: make it to the top of the top of playing 707 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: the sport. 708 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 3: Well, one thing that I would that I find common 709 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 3: amongst like even when I go to the to the 710 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: Hall of Fame and we sit down and we talk 711 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: and sit at the table with a lot of the 712 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 3: Hall of Famers, and it's about the commitment and the 713 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 3: discipline because there's so many distractions and if you're committed 714 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 3: to it and you're and you have discipline, those are 715 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 3: the things that's gonna take you so far because you 716 00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 3: have to train, you have to do all the basics, 717 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 3: you have to work out, you have to train. 718 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 2: But when the distractions come, what are you going to do? 719 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:37,960 Speaker 2: Those are the. 720 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 3: Things that separate the players because once you start having success, 721 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 3: there's media interviews, there's appearances, there's all these different distractions. 722 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 3: You have to block all that stuff out and say, look, 723 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 3: I'm committed to the game. 724 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 2: These things come first. 725 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 3: Those things right there, I'll do those in my downtime. 726 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 3: So you have to be one hundred percent committed to 727 00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,520 Speaker 3: the game. And the guys that are used, they committed 728 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,920 Speaker 3: to the game and they're actually good. They usually go 729 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 3: a whole lot farther than the guys that just play 730 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 3: the game, or they let distractions become a true problem 731 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 3: for them. 732 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 2: So that's what I would I would always talk about 733 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: that you. 734 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 3: Got to be committed to what you're doing and the 735 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 3: discipline to actually stay to stay on the on the right. 736 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: Path, right on Edge.
