So much happened 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: in such a short period of time for you, Jacob. 44 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: Well, it was a great time. You know, I tell 45 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 3: people a lot of time. Once I got drafted in Minnesota, 46 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: being from down south, I actually didn't know what Minnesota was, 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 3: so I had to look up there and I said, wow, 48 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,679 Speaker 3: that's a cold steak. And then I still remember that 49 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 3: my first year there, Halloween night, I think, well, it's 50 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 3: snow like thirty one inches in ninety one. 51 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you remember that, and I. 52 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: Were blown away. I remember wrecking my truck three times 53 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 3: before I caught the Influance Company because I didn't know 54 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 3: how to drive it the snow. So it's so many 55 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 3: great memories from start to finish up there, and you know, 56 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 3: being out with some of the great receivers like Hot 57 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 3: Sun Jones, Anthony Carter, Chris Carter, and then you know, 58 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: working my way into the starter position. Then here come 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 3: random Moss. It was just so amazing. Actually, I talked 60 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 3: to Randy about three days ago and taught to Chris 61 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 3: two days ago, and we were talking about that three 62 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 3: D poster. How iconic the post is now. Everybody talked 63 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: about the three D posters. Everybody, uh remember different things 64 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: about the poster and that we were just young. We 65 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 3: didn't realize that poster was gonna stand the test of 66 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: time the way it did. You know, don't have so 67 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: many great rumors of Minnesota. 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: You know, it is pretty interesting to look back on that, 69 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: and you mentioned the three D poster. It's it's off. 70 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 2: You know. Offense is just that way now, right, And 71 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: what do you think of today's game? I mean with 72 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: the I mean, obviously you wish you had the gloves 73 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: back then, but with the passing game and the way 74 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: it's evolved, you still think three deep would would have 75 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: been three deep in this day and age. 76 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 3: I think it would have been three deep with a 77 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: lot better numbers, because now, great, you can't get knocked 78 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 3: you can't get knocked out going across the acrost the middle. 79 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: We had like Steve Atwater running a lot, Davin Woodson 80 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: and John Lynch. You know, those guys have to worry 81 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 3: about when I went across the middle because back then, 82 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: they can take hits. They can hit you anywhere. Now, 83 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's the Southern League now, I think 84 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm happy that they're protecting the players. But man, you know, 85 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 3: when you were able to go across the middle and 86 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: run those slants, don't have to worry about those blindside shots, 87 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 3: hey man. Make the game a little more easy going 88 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 3: across the middle. 89 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned working with a bunch of receivers here before 90 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: Randy Moscot here in nineteen ninety eight. But if you 91 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: think back to that training camp in Mankato and here 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: comes a bally Hood wide receiver who was upset because 93 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 1: he was drafted as late as he was in the 94 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: first round, and Denny Green took a chance on him. 95 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: What were your first impressions of Randy when he showed 96 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: up in Mankato. 97 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 3: Well, my person in person was like, Wow, this dude 98 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 3: is tall, skinny, like Jimmy Walker high. He gonna stay healthy. 99 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 3: But I tell you what it was. It wasn't a 100 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: loan that him putting on them paths that everybody saw 101 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: why he was so special. You know, I saw him 102 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: at Marshall when he was running down the sield making 103 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: those great catches. But to be able to translate that 104 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 3: and throw that over to the NFL and do the 105 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: same thing his children. One of the best receivers I 106 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: ever played with, you know, and I played with some 107 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: good ones, Like I said, Anthony Carter, Chris car you know, 108 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 3: all old guys Steve Jo and I played with some 109 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: good receivers, but when Random Mouse came in, he just 110 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 3: really just kept us take the wide receiver spot to 111 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: a whole different level. You know. I think I remember 112 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 3: one here at Green Bay that I think they it 113 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: was a ninety eight. They dusted all cornerbacks, a bunching 114 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 3: cornerback and safety to try to stop us. And I 115 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 3: think we went up there and lit them up in 116 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: Green Bay, and they didn't have an answer for us. 117 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: So guys like Random Moss made Chris Chris Caught a 118 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: job easier, made my job easier, made Brian Billy a 119 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 3: ninety eight job, so easy call. Please. You know, I'm 120 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: not saying Brian Billy wouldn't have got a head coaching job, 121 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: but I uh at bought amore. But I tell you 122 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 3: that ninety eight seas where random all really kept a 123 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: lot of stuff out on that case. 124 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 2: And Jake, with the way the draft goes now and 125 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 2: with receivers being more actually bellly hoot and looked for 126 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: than running backs anymore, what are a few things that 127 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 2: are let's say, in tangibles, not just height, not just weight, 128 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 2: not speed, But what do you look for when you 129 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 2: say you're watching a college game and you see a 130 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: great receiver, what are the little things that make a 131 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: receiver great in the NFL? 132 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 3: Well, what of the things I look for? And I 133 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 3: guess I'm guilty of this. Whenever I'll watch the game, 134 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: I always watch it. Sometimes I miss what happened with 135 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 3: those on in the interior the line because I'm always 136 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: watching the receivers. I think the biggest thing the way 137 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 3: they transition in and out of their breaks, how they 138 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: drop their hips in and out their brakes. And I'm 139 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 3: always looking at the hand placement, you know, when I 140 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: watch young guys go to the high school game, I 141 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: look at the hand placement of the receiver, how they 142 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: kiss the ball below they way to above their head, 143 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: and just the way they get in and out the 144 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: brakes coming back. That would make you a great receiver. 145 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 3: Not how fast you go out from A to B. 146 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: How fast can you get in and out of your breaks. 147 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 3: So I think that that's one of the things I 148 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: look at. 149 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts about Justin Jefferson in terms of 150 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: his talent, his desire, and what you interpret him to 151 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: be looking at his arc for his future with the 152 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. 153 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: He is amazing. I think I got asked his question 154 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 3: when I was in the UK for the Vikings. They said, 155 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: what do you think about Jeffin? Just how he think 156 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 3: he would to fit in with the Vikings. I said, 157 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 3: when I hate to tell you, guys, we have some 158 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 3: great receivers that Jeffrey Justin had a game on the 159 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 3: team when we were there with me, Chris and Mouff. 160 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: To tell you, I probably been the fourth receiver. He 161 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: is that good. And I'm being honest, I probably been 162 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: the fourth guy because he can really do everything. He's 163 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: gonna run a route from the slide, he can go outside, 164 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: he can go in motion, you're gonna flipping the ball. 165 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: He just that it is closely going out the breaks, 166 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: in and out of breaks. And I enjoyed watching him 167 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: because he can really make plays after the catch. So Deffe, 168 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: you look at her. When you look at a receiver 169 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 3: like that, I just hope, I don't know if you 170 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: win this contract up. They just hope we have the 171 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: money to keep him and just building a lot of 172 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 3: other pieces around him, because you need a true number 173 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: one receiver on your team to be successful. You know 174 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: that helps out the running game. That helps your average 175 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 3: quarterback to be great when you got a great when 176 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: you got a great receiver like that. And I think 177 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 3: that the type of numbers he's putting up if he 178 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: stayed with the bike, and I think you can break 179 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 3: all the numbers. 180 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 2: Pete Person and Mark Rosen, joined by Jake Reed. Jake, 181 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: you're kind of the last person I would have expected 182 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: to embrace social media and be out there. But you 183 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: recently you mentioned if you recently took a trip to 184 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 2: England up in Birmingham, so that's northern England, I guess 185 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 2: as an ambassador to the Vikings.

Can you explain to us that trip, 187 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: because following you on social media, it looked like it 188 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: was a lot of fun being up there talking to 189 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 2: those guys about what the NFL is really all about. 190 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: Well, you know when Tom called, when Tom takes me 191 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: about that and called, I was like, wow, I don't 192 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 3: want to take no eight hour trip. I actually started laughing, 193 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: asking you know, when do you need to know this 194 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: answer to this?

But I tell her, just getting there. Seeing 200 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 3: the kids who love football, American football was awesome, you know, 201 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 3: the thirst for the flag football. They were being introduced 202 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,359 Speaker 3: to it up in Saint Anne's Academy up up in Manchester, 203 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: and it was an awesome, awesome feeling to see the 204 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: old kids love flag football like that. You know. I 205 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: have some of the kids saying they want to work 206 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: hard enough to try to be in their twenty twenty 207 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 3: eight Olympics flag football game. So it was awesome. It 208 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 3: were very awesome, the interviews, the way they loved the Vikings, 209 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: and I did not realized that we had those many 210 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: Viking fans in the UK. Did the watch party? Did 211 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: the watch party? On the Sunday we played against the Saints, 212 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 3: and good thing we won because the building were packed. 213 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: They were pumped up, they had their face painted and 214 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: I were really blown away about it, you know, just 215 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: blown away how they have a depth and named the Vikings, 216 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 3: but the school never had a mascot. Now the football 217 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: team they are the Vikings and they they you know, 218 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 3: they're they purple also, So it was a great, great 219 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 3: experience for me to see that and see the home 220 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: of them. Kids wanted to learn football, American football, So 221 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 3: I keep saying American football because I made the mistake 222 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 3: when I was talking to the kid and called their 223 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: football soccer. Oh man, they got all over me. We 224 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 3: don't sock around here. We played football, wrong word. So 225 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: they corrected me on that real really fast. So but 226 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 3: just hanging out with old kids on that Friday, all 227 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: day long, different sections was amazing. And I have did 228 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: camps in the past right here in the Stakes, but 229 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 3: it was a different field with those kids because they 230 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: were learning, they were learning how to go through the cones, 231 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: they were learning about the little nuance of football. So 232 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 3: it made me excited to teach those little things, you know, 233 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 3: because there wasn't kids that that know football and have 234 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 3: learned incorrectly that you have to reach teach these kids 235 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: that didn't know anything. So once you've tell them some stuff, 236 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: we tell them some The correct way is stuck. 237 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: Will stick around for more school stories presented by three M, 238 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the official science partner of the Minnesota Vikings.

But how much of being a sports parent 252 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: for you and your wife and both your children were 253 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: all Americans at the collegiate level. How much is that 254 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: did that help you just sort of make a smooth 255 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 1: transition into mentoring not just your own kids, but anyone 256 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: else that came in your orbit. 257 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 3: I think that I think the first year or two 258 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 3: getting out of professionals ball, I think that's the hardest 259 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: adjustment because she's always been on such a routine and 260 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 3: in that bubble of life. But once you get through 261 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 3: that first year adjusting, the great thing. I have a 262 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 3: you know, great wife and great family situation. And then 263 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: once my kids got into boys, I taught you know, 264 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 3: I coached my son a lily team. I coached his 265 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: basketball team. I didn't do any coach with my daughter. 266 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 3: My daughter didn't want me to coach it, so I 267 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 3: kind of stayed away from let let other people coach her. 268 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 3: She says, she'll perform better if I just sit up 269 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 3: in the stands and be quiet. So that's why I 270 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 3: deal with my daughter's good. 271 00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 2: That's good. 272 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, she told me the true. So but 273 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 3: when it came to my son, I think that I 274 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 3: coached him and that really helped me adjust. Then I 275 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: start coaching the other kids. Then I started working with 276 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 3: my son in the neighborhood at the local field. Other 277 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 3: parents would see that and come up and want me 278 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: to coach him and want to pay, But I just 279 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,440 Speaker 3: tell them, you bring them my head this time just 280 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: for me and my kids and be out here, and 281 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: I coach a kid for free. And so I would 282 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: have like ten twenty kids up that I would be 283 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 3: coaching for free because I would train to my son anyway, 284 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 3: So to just another way that my son could have 285 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 3: added competition during the training session when I would work 286 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 3: with him. But it was it was a smooth adjustment, 287 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: like I said, but after the first year, the first 288 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: two years, it's a it's kind of tough because you're 289 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: kind of hunger for that that locker room and stuff 290 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 3: and kind of home. You're still real competitive. So once 291 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: I got through that first year or too, it was 292 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 3: easy for me just sit back and watch my kids performed. 293 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 2: Then And Jake, what what advice would you have for 294 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: a parent that has some kids who are at you know, 295 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: want to be athletes and you know, younger children, what 296 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 2: what advice would you give them? 297 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 3: Well, I would tell all parents put your kid in 298 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: everything they want to be in, because when they're younger, 299 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 3: they really don't know what they want to do. They 300 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 3: don't know they want to be soccer players, baseball players, 301 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 3: basketball and football. But if they show interest in it, 302 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: if you have the time and money, put them in 303 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: that because as they get older, they gonna gravitate to 304 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: the sport that they really love and what they really 305 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 3: best at. You know what I'm saying, And that's why 306 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: I did my kid my son played basketball, played football, 307 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: play soccer, but after he got it in middle school, 308 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 3: started to gravitating more toward football. So what I did 309 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: with him, he didn't want to play the receiver. He 310 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 3: want to play cornerback. And I would tell parents, find 311 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: them a good trainer. Everybody's out there training that they 312 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: are not good. They're just not good, and you got 313 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 3: to know what to look for and the good training 314 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 3: that was gonna teach them great technique. But just here 315 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: in the Dallas area, we have a lot of farmer 316 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 3: NFL ball players here. So I would only let my 317 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 3: kids train with former NFL ball players because I knew 318 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 3: they played to play the game or they had to 319 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 3: be a top college ball player. If you just played 320 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: in high school. And if you don't look the part 321 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: Pet just said, if you look, you out there trying 322 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 3: to teach my son how to play cornerback. And you 323 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 3: got this, Bill Belly, We ain't coming to I trying 324 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: to be funny. But if you taking care of yourself 325 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: training your can't training my kids. 326 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 2: Are you trying to say, are you trying to say 327 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 2: that Buddy Ryan couldn't teach a corner No. 328 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 3: I'm not saying that I'm not butter around paying his dues. 329 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: But I just get this was my thought process, you know, 330 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 3: from the football standpoint, and I think that what parents 331 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: have to do just let the kids participate in everything. 332 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 3: My son is in piano lessons. He got to the 333 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 3: age he said, you know what, I don't want to 334 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 3: do this no more. So I just forced it on. 335 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: I think let's just kids whatever, gravitate to whatever they 336 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 3: like without forcing them. You may see something, oh no, 337 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 3: I want you to play baseball, but that may not 338 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 3: what he liked.

Does anyone 355 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: stand out? And you just missed that? How can he 356 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: not miss the camaraderie and the storytelling and the nonsense 357 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: that went on with those teams off Sunday's game days. 358 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 3: Well, you missed it. And I have a couple of 359 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 3: guys that I missed a lot that I actually once 360 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 3: football was over, I still spend a lot of time with, 361 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: like Orlando Thomas. I live in Dallas. I actually something 362 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: lose down there. So we used to take that drive 363 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: from Dalla to Lose Down with till like seven and a 364 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 3: half hours often to see her mom. And we would 365 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 3: often stop and Crawley Lose down it and see Orlando 366 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: for like a couple hours, even when he got sick 367 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: with the Blue Garrett to see you see Eve Down. 368 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: I would still sit, uh take that drive, and I 369 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 3: would take the drive simply to spend time with it. 370 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: I take my whole time of year to seeing and 371 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 3: another guy. And I was spent a lot of time 372 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: with uh after after I retired with Chuck Evans who 373 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: passed long that was my GF buddy. So you missed 374 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 3: those things like that, and especially once they pass on, 375 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 3: but you miss a lot of locker room stuff. Man, 376 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 3: it's just uh, it's just crazy, uh, how life goes. 377 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 3: You know, guy's a healthy Now they're gone. So now 378 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 3: I'm so glad that you know, I said, in the NFL, 379 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: T have a lot of health stuff, do a lot 380 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: of streaming for guys with different type of health issues 381 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 3: and stuff like that. I think that help. I take 382 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 3: advantage of all of that because you know, I want 383 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 3: to be around as long as I can to see 384 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 3: my grandkids and hopefully, if I'm not too broken up, 385 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 3: I can get out there and coach them. I don't 386 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 3: know if they gonna want an old man out there 387 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 3: coaching them, but I try. 388 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad you brought up Chuck Evans because 389 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: I remember when I first met him and he was 390 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 2: telling me about how he was in the military. I 391 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: remember looking at him thinking, man, how old are you 392 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 2: so well you were in the Marine Corps, whatever you 393 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 2: were whatever. 394 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 3: It's like, what, Yeah, we had some I tell you, 395 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: we had some good guys in the locker room. I 396 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,120 Speaker 3: think Dinny Green really have a had a player friendly 397 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 3: locker room. He let the players run in the locker room. 398 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 3: I think that's one of the reasons we were so 399 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 3: good in ninety eight in the years, you know, had 400 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 3: a lot of good seasons there because the players actually 401 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 3: run in the locker room. I can remember the time 402 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 3: being in the weight room. You probably tested this and 403 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 3: we and I listened to our R and B music 404 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 3: are rapped and run them with Daniel and big Mike 405 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 3: Marsh walking there and he'll turn the radio and put 406 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 3: hard rock on. 407 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was all about senior. 408 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah you can't we can't say. Man, we was here first. 409 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: We were switching that mess and now you can do 410 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,919 Speaker 3: about it. But you know, and that's the type of 411 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 3: leadership that we had in the locker room. You know, 412 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 3: Chris Cauls a pro bowler, he was that a long time, 413 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 3: but he did not trump big neck, big random of Danner. 414 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 3: You know. So when Randa walking, Hay, now we're listening 415 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 3: to this. So that's the type of stuff I remember. 416 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 3: Just the seniority and the leadership that he let us 417 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 3: have in the locker room was great. 418 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: You're done in the Dallas area right now, is that right? 419 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: So besides your kids keeping busy with us, you say, 420 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 1: some other NFL activities, but overall you're you're not having 421 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 1: trouble filling. 422 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 3: Your day, not having trouble filling the day.
