12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: you might think like, Okay, I can expect this, expect that,

13
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: but you never really know until your baby is here.

14
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: And we love it. It's a full time job, that's

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: for sure, but we wouldn't trade it for the world.

16
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: He's amazing. Absolutely, it's been. He's been awesome for the

17
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: last seven months. It's gonna be awesome for him. You know,

18
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: he's got really three great uncles. He's got JJ TJ

19
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: and then her brother George. They've all, you know, really

20
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: embraced the uncle role. They all love him like crazy

21
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: and We're constantly FaceTime in them. They can't get enough

22
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: of him, and I know JJ is super pumped to

23
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: see him this weekend. This week's reunion with Derek Watt's brother,

24
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 1: JJ will be both personal and business. For the first

25
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: time in his professional career, Derek will face his brother

26
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: head to head. We're excited. He FaceTime me on Monday

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: and mainly to see Logan and then he just kind

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: of threw an a So what's the game plan looking like?

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: And obviously he didn't give him too much there, but

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: it's pretty much a normal game. But then all of

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, you're watching film and it's it's not just

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: a defensive ent out there, it's it's my brother, And

33
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: for him watching, it's it's not just any fullback, it's me.

34
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: So it's cool in that aspect, and especially, I mean,

35
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: he's obviously a tremendous player, and we are we're definitely

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: game planning for him and finding ways to prevent him

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: from wrecking the game because he has that ability. All Right,

38
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: this tag, this team, the strength of this team is

39
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: just similar last week. It is the front step and

40
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: they won't those big linebackers, big ends to set the

41
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: edge they're gonna play two gaping gap in a half

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: of his side. They want to build a wall right there. Okay,

43
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: some of the people that are doing that. You have

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: Derek watsbrother over here, j J freaking football player. Stat Wise,

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: they say he's one of the best sackers in the game. Okay,

46
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: so he is a game rerecord. The one thing that

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: we always got to make sure of though, is JJ

48
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: Watt all right, just because of the fact he's a

49
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: disruptive player. He's a good player, and you've got to

50
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: make sure that we have a plan for knowing where

51
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: he is to find that in handling that. Yeah, it's

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: a good front. I mean, I feel like last week

53
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: too we had you know, the strength was their front

54
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: and you mentioned what and shoot they out others two

55
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: that are that are solid. So it's a it's a

56
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: good front, a good defense. And uh above the work

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: cut out for Sunday's matchup against the eldest what brother

58
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: will be rivers two hundred and twenty second in a row,

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the most among active players that charge a signal color

60
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: has the resume of a Hall of Famer and the

61
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 1: work ethic of an upstart. Just ask he's right hand

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: Man quarterbacks coach Shane Stike in himself. Now, I know

63
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Norm for a year. So that relationship has gone on

64
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: for you know, for a year is pretty good. And

65
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: it builds every year. You know, you get to know

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: each other more and more and more, and so the

67
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: more you're around him, you you start to kind of

68
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: see things alike, you know, and I think he just

69
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: wants to win. That's a good that's a good ball.

70
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: That's a complation there. You God, just be careful coming

71
00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: in there super fast, you know what I mean, because

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: the guy's gonna be sitting right in here when he

73
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: goes play action. Hit it all right there it is. Yeah,

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: he's ready to go. Every day he takes the pro

75
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: he takes the meetings to the practice field, it's a game.

76
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean, his demeanor doesn't change. I mean that's just

77
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: who he is. He loves ball and you can see

78
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: it just how about how he goes about it every day. Ready, Yeah,

79
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. Good. What he's done to be

80
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: able to go out there and play that consecutive the

81
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: mount of games and show up every week first team

82
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. I mean it's crazy just to see that

83
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: and show up every day and just battle through and

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: it just shows you how tough he is. I mean,

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: what he's gone through in his career, Like say he

86
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: played the AFC Championhip game with a torn asil. I mean,

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: nothing's gonna stop him from going out there and playing

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: fire the fire with them out front of them. Oh,

89
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: I'll blew thirty two up. I mean he's hooting, hollerand

90
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: at everything deep, I had special teams all the silently

91
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: just always ended the game. That's just who he is.

92
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: So I think the fire, the fire that he brings

93
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: Rivers wants to win on the field at any cost.

94
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: From the stands, seeing the game from a different perspective

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: makes things a bit more complicated. So shall be back

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: just too so you can see your name On Sunday.

97
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: The Watt household will have conflicted rooting interests in a

98
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: matchup that will put brotherly love to the test. This

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: is my mother, Connie Watt. She's supporting the triple logo

100
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: as well. She just got in today for the game

101
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: this weekend. My main goal is to make sure that

102
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: my kids come off the field healthy and we don't

103
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: support one or the other. We talked about that when

104
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: they were in college yet, you know, one of us

105
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: having one number, and we did that in college a

106
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: little bit. We had because they were on the same team,

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: so we just each wore a number. We support them

108
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: all and it's just a little awkward sometimes when I

109
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: have you know, some of the owners I know are

110
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: looking at us or what have you or other people

111
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: and I'm just clapping the whole game. This is JJ

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: and I probably I don't even know if this was

113
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: during Christmas time, but we're wearing Santa hats. We probably

114
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: just saw them and wanted to wear them. Hockey was

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: our first true love. We're both wearing I'm wearing the

116
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Red Wings and he's wearing the Shark's shirts. It looks

117
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: like so that was, like I said, our first love.

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: But football ended up working out for us. The first

119
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: time Jadi has been able to play against one of

120
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: his brothers in the NFL. It's just a little hard

121
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: going into the game knowing that one of my sons

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 1: is going to lose for sure. I usually go into

123
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: the weekend hoping that we get three wins. I always

124
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: say it's going to be a trifecta for the Watts,

125
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: and I go into this weekend, unfortunately knowing that one

126
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 1: of them will lot. I know Jada's Foundation has used

127
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: this picture as a can you tell which one is which?

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: Who's who's who? Here? But I'll I'll go, this is me,

129
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: this is JJ, And there's TJ trying to peek out

130
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: over the pool there because he's I don't even know

131
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: how old we are here. I don't know. I don't

132
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: know how old we are. But we're never really inside.

133
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean we're always trying to do something. It looks like,

134
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: you know, we had a little pool out back and

135
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: and you know, just hanging out. And like I said,

136
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: we did everything together. That's why we carry out today.

137
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean we're in a group chat like I said,

138
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: always talking. We love each other, We support each other,

139
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: and Sunday is it's going to be. We're not supporting

140
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: each other for three hours, but after that we're right

141
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: back to support each other. And it's great, it's warm,

142
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: it's high. The stage is set for a want showdown

143
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: over the next cool quarters family matters. We'll take a

144
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: back seat in a battle of one and one teams

145
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: led by two Grobow quarterbacks. Deshaun Watson in his third

146
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: season out of Clemson ocean man now qt trying to

147
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: set up the screen. It's Watson and he's just gonna

148
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: dirt it. And they're saying, that's a back up to half.

149
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: We're passed, scooped up by Despon King. It's a turnover.

150
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Anybody behind it and forgot so it is rule the

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: fumble Chargers will have the football. Rivers shotgun snapped the

152
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: pass and they rushed forward to the end zone. Keena

153
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Alan now who seven yards strike, tallingtrereer touchdown pass number

154

00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: may not be a better route runner in the sport

156
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: than Keenan Allen. The nasty the releases because he has

157
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:36,120

160
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: most everybody's talking. Every great quarterback needs a safety net

161
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: for Philip Rivers. It's route running artist Keenan Allen. Good

162

Speaker 1: riversent first down to the end that his spa for targy.

167
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: star of white motion. Riverson did the touchdown. Keenan Allen

168
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: breaks the ankles at trusted Red with a little crossover

169
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:42,040

171
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: with just twenty two seconds left and a half. What

172
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: a sensational drive. Buy the Boats. Great m great john

173
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: Great Johnson, big plays man. The Keenan Allen connection was

174
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: working early and often, giving the Boats double digit lead

175
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: heading into the half. That lead would not hold due

176
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: to an explosive Texans offense and a relentless pass rush

177
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: led by JJ walk Goody, oh my god, d hy

178
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: bright here right here, right here, Put your hands up,

179
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,600

180
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: teller aboudy, I'm just having fun. In a battle of

181
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: NFL legends, JJ wats Texans had the last laugh touchdown

182
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: tight end Jordan Aikins, winning a competitive matchup that was

183
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: decided in the fourth quarters. I've ever played against them.

184
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 1: You're so those one of the smartest quarterbacks. You know.

185
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: We just gotta keep keep at it. You know, it's

186
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: a long year. Um, there's no there's no no, no

187
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: fun in losing. But we're gonna keep going. We're doing

188
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: enough good things to where we can we can turn

189
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: this thing around. It's still early, but certainly disappointing at

190
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: this point. Man, thirteen catches eighty yards. You're playing in

191
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: this game, euro and L. I think that pretty much

192
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: sounds about to l. You know it doesn't. It's not

193
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: as meaningful. Um, obviously, you know with the loss. But um,

194
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna try to try to be consistent

195
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: as I can, be as available as I can for

196
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: the whole season. No cutting corners. That's how you become

197
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: the number one receiver in the NFL. Keenan Allen joining

198
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: us right now on the Petris of Money Show on

199
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: AMPHI seventy other sports on the Chevy Silverado Celebrity Hotline.

200
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: And You've always had a pretty professional approach, preparation wise,

201
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 1: I think, even as a college player. But how long

202
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: did it take you to get used to the length

203
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: of the NFL season or the grind as they say, well, yeah,

204
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I say a couple of years. Um, it's definitely a

205
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: long season. Um, it's it's gonna it's bearings bearing down

206
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: to your body, your mind mentally and everything. So um,

207
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: scotta stay tuned in. You gotta be a pro and um,

208
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, the routine is definitely key. Um, just finding

209
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: a routine and staying with it when you you know,

210
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: when you play with the quarterback, like like Philip Rivers,

211
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: you'll you know, if you watch and you go back

212
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: and watch plays over and over, you'll notice he's releasing

213
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: the ball before you get to that spot where you're

214
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: going to catch it. And how much of the same

215
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: page do you have to be on with him to

216
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: make sure you and the ball arrive at that spot

217
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: at that time. Yeah, a lot of time and um,

218
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time and a lot of chemistry. Um,

219
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: route depth. Everything has to be key on time and

220
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,719
Speaker 1: um you know it has to be you know, sharp cut, um,

221
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: you know, and delivered so the quarterback has a good

222
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: time and when he wants to throw the ball. Through

223
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: three games, Keenan Allen is the league's most productive receiver.

224
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: As the Chargers look at end of the season's first

225
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: quarter at five hundred, the emphasis is closing out games

226
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: this week. I want us to focus on us. I

227
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: want us to do things that we gotta do to

228
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: get better as a football team. So we talked about

229
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: doing what the other day, finishing finishing games. Man, Okay,

230
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: get in the habit of finishing whatever you do. You

231
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: don't just finish on Sunday, right, you're going uneat the day.

232
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: Just put enough food on your plate to finish it.

233
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: You take out the trash at home, tie that sucker

234
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: at the top, finish it. Just getting the habit of

235
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: finishing whatever you do that will carry all were into Sundays.

236
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't like to get off to a better start,

237
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: a force ascount from territory for us, or last to

238
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: shoot seven years or whatever. I think we've been in

239
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: a spot about every year, so obviously we love have

240
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 1: been three. And oh we had opportunities too, but we didn't.

241
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: Early season adversity is nothing new to a Charger's locker room,

242
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: experienced and overcoming it. Sunday's game in Miami will provide

243
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: an opportunity for redemption and also a reunion for starting

244
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: Safety and University of Miami alum ray Shawn Jenkins. It's

245
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: always been adversity since I've been here, so I know

246
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: no other way, so I know how to block everything out.

247
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, my rookie year, what were owing forward. Then

248
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: we went on a you know, we stayed in the bunker,

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: you know, got over that hump, got through adversity, and

250
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: we did our thing there. Last year, you know, we

251
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: didn't start so hot. You know, we lost a season opening.

252
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Everything you know we did we did last year just

253
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: like this year. It's more adversity and we just got

254
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: to continue to just you know, do what we've done

255
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: in the past. We stayed here when I was a

256
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: freshman and sophomore. You walk over, I'm saying, Yo, what up?

257
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: All my dogs sitting here? We oh our little handshakes.

258
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: You know everybody around. I saw all the football players

259
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: hang out with class. Everybody just used to sit, all

260
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: the football players, especially just sitting here doing whatever we're doing,

261
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: just chilling. I don't know. We might be one other

262
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: horse playing cracking jokes, doing whatever. It was like our territories,

263
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: don't you aim serious? You know I knew about Miami,

264
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: but I didn't really know about the real history of Miami.

265
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: That's how I got here, the National Championships. Just that

266
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: the Sean Taylor is the air Rees, the warring stops,

267
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: that era. Just coming in here and knowing you have

268
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: to uphold that legacy, just that's just a crazy feeling. Man.

269
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: It's just it's just crazy to just be a part

270
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: of that and be a part of that brotherhood after you.

271
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: The number twenty six carries its own legacy. Then, as

272
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: a freshman from Florida, Jenkins accepted the challenge of wearing

273
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: the number immortalized by the late Sean Taylor, an old

274
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: pro at this safety position. You know, he was just

275
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: physically just just better than everybody. Man. It's just you

276
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: do things other people just can't. My coaches, you know,

277
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: they kind of came to me. It was like, you know,

278
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: twenty six available, you know, would you like to wear it?

279
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: But you know what kind of standard comes with it?

280
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 1: And I was like, yes, I mean it should have

281
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: been retired, but I mean I took it, man, I was.

282
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: I was glad I was able to wear it. Shout

299
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: just crazy to even just see that in myself. It

300
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: shaped me into the person I am. Being able to

301
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: to play in the same stadium, being able to play

302
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: in front of my family, being a starter. I mean,

303
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: it'll be fun, man, It's it's gonna be fun, and
