22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: about it. And we have a special guest coming in

23
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: here other than Helloi Noda, who we're doing our interview with,

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: to our special guests, Garrett. Uh, let's let's get into

26
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the email bank here, all right. So if you guys

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: listen to last week's episode, you remember that we had

28
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: a bit of a discussion about doppelgangers celebrity lookalikes, and

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: so we all was very flat. Who was yours again,

30
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: Colin Joseph, Yeah, Colin Jost, yeah, yeah. So Frankie not

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: like that? Harrison, what was that? It was laughing or disagree?

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I think disagreement? The last says it all right there.

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I think everyone recognizes that. So we asked the listeners

34
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: to email the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net

35
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: to let us know who you thought my celebrity look

36
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: like was. We got some emails. Uh. This first one

37
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: comes from Dan Andrews. He says, Hey, Ryan and Garrett,

38
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm a Maryland native. For Nowlys in Miami. I've been

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan since birth. I love the podcast, haven't

40
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: missed an episode, which is pretty good. That's saying a

41
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: lot um. I'm not sure if you're still into the

42
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: celebrity doppel getting your subject. But I think if I

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: were to come up with something for Garrett, I'd say

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: he's a cross between Neil Patrick Harris and Morty from

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Rick and Morty. Ohically think it's pretty good. I mean,

46
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: Rick and Morty is a cartoon. I'm not sure how

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: I feel about that. You are a little cartoonish. It's

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: because I'm fun, you know what were the other ones though? Okay, yeah,

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: all right? So then we got another email says clearly

50
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: your doppelganger is Zach Woods. Zach Woods is Gabe from

51
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: the Office, which I can also see. I can also

52
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: see that so awkward. He is awkward, but that's just

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 1: him as in that character. I'm looking He's no, he's

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: a great looking man. The other one was James Woods.

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit confused because James Woods James

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 1: how old is James was? I'm not sure I feel

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: about that. But my question is with James Woods, are

58
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: they talking about the young strapping talking about years? I

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: think they're talking about an old version or the other

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: option here is that maybe they just put they met

61
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: Zach Woods, but they wrote James Woods. No, you kind

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: of look like James Woods, the young, good looking version,

63
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: the one with the big forehead. I have a huge

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: I have I have a five head. I have a

65
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: five head. So both Zach Woods and James Woods have that.

66
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: So I think that if that's what they're going for,

67
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I can I can be down with that. Anyway. We'll

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: put out the pictures because we we forgot to tweet

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: the pictures that people can weigh in. But with all

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: that said, let's get to a much better looking man,

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: uh and more successful one. Uh. This is our interview.

72
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna jump into it with Holodi Nada. Well, Holodi,

73
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: just an awesome day. Uh, just a lot of good feelings.

74

75
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: you know, how hard does it to hit you to

76
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: be back here emotionally? Emotionally hit me just like a wall.

77
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: Like It's just like I said earlier, I just had

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: so many memories here and so many um great relationships

79
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: and um you start to think about all those memories

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 1: and relationships and the people the past You've crossed with

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: so many people, and UM, it's just so awesome to

82
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: be able to come back and be part of the

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: team you started with and um had so much success with,

84
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: and it's so it's just it's just amazing to be

Speaker 1: able to come back and be a Raven again. Hits

86
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: you like a wall. I imagine that a lot of

87
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: offensive players can play again. It's about time this guy

88
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: got hit like hit me. Mende Hall sitting here, Yeah,

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: I know the feeling, right. I mean you you're on

90
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: the mount rushmore of great Ravens defenders, and I feel

91
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: like everybody knew that before today, but this kind of

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: just highlights that. You know, as we go back and

93
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: you get to watch your highlights and you're like, man,

94
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: this dude was so dominant. I mean, just what does

95
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: that mean to you? Because there's been obviously so many

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: great defensive players here that you played with. Yeah, it's

97
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: always been a dream just be able to first play

98
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL and then he always for me, I've

99
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: always wanted to be one of those players that made

100
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: a difference or did something UM with the team that

101
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: was significant. And so being able to say that, you know,

102
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm part of a D D team that's the dominated

103
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: on defense, and then being one of those legend defensive players.

104
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: It's just just adds on too, Like all the overwhelming

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: feelings I'm getting, but it's just um just I'm just

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: very um blessed and humbled by all the um like

107
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: love I've been getting from the whole organization. I'm curious

108
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: about this little bit during the press conference. But obviously

109
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens traded you to Detroit, then you played in

110
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: Philly for a year. Was there a point at at

111
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: all where you wondered, like would you come back here?

112
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: And it's I mean, when you guys were talking about it,

113
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 1: it's all good, you know, like it's all it's clear

114
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: that there's no like ill will or anything like that

115
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: that was held. Was there if I had a question

116
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: about it, did you think that you would ever have

117
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: this day like you had today? I always knew my

118
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: my plan was always retired raven and so that was

119
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: like that was a no question. Like and everyone that

120
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: I played with, like outside of Baltimore in Detroit and Philadelphia,

121
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: like they always like asked me like, are you gonna

122
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: retire Rave? Like of course I was like, yeah, that's

123
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: just kind of where you always made a lot of

124
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 1: your history, your your memories and so yeah, so I

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 1: talked to guys like Michael Bennett, Chris Long and those guys,

126
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, they're eventually going to go back

127
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: to their places they you know, made their career and retire,

128
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Seahawk or a ram So, Um, it's

129
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: just it's to me, I always knew I wasn't ever. Um,

130
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna come back and be raven. What did

131
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: you learn about playing here when you went and played elsewhere? Um,

132
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: it was just different because defensively here, it's just we're

133
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: so like prideful, and um, finishing top past top five

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: is bad defense for us, right, And so you go

135
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: to Detroit, you know they're not as defensive, dominating dominating defenses,

136
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: and so it's just you kind of trying to build

137
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: a you're trying to build a like a You're just

138
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: trying to make an identity. You're trying to change the

139
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: mindset there. And I think that's why Colba wanted me

140
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: to come there too, Um, just to help change the

141
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: mindset there. The So it's just going from there here

142
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: to there, it was like you're trying to build it

143
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: up here. It was kind of ready set, so it

144
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: was it was a place that when you got here,

145
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: it was it took it to another lot. So it's

146
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: just goin and they're they're throwing the ball sixty times

147
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: the game. You're like, hey, guys, do we run the

148
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: ball him? Exactly? So yeah, it's just that that was

149
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: some of the differences there. And so it's just, um,

150
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: I just couldn't be happier now that I'm back in Baltimore.

151
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: Can you take us back to that time because I

152
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: still remember the day when you were traded and us

153
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: being like, holy moly, that just happened, Like I can't

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: believe that happened. And Garrett even went up and talked

155
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: to Eric Decass about it, and Eric like you were

156
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: kind of like, wow, this is a big day, this

157
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: is a big move. And Eric was what what was

158
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: the thing? He said was his quote did an interview

159
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: with him, and he was like, it was a sickening feeling.

160
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: Like even internally I think that there wasn't like there

161
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: weren't many high fives going around, you know, it was

162
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: like everyone internally kind of felt like it was again

163
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: a sickening feeling right. Yeah, And so I was talking

164
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: back and forth to my agent and I'm back and

165
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: forth with Harborn AUSSI and uh, They're like, hey, we

166
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: have this, this is our deale, this is what we

167
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: want to do. And um, to me, it just didn't

168
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: with me and my agent, it's didn't match up with

169
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: what we thought value with Yeah. So um, I understood

170
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: like if we didn't budge and they didn't budge, and

171
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: there was something that's gonna have to happen. And so

172
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: I understood, like it's a business. And like I said

173
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: earlier in the press conference, I was against the cap

174
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Big that year, so I was like they had to

175
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: do something. Um. So when I didn't budge and they didn't,

176
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: then that's when the trade happened. And I just told him.

177
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I was like, I saydn't understand this is a business

178
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: and even talk just um see if about it, Like

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: it's just it is what it is. Like I'm not

180
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: mad about it. It's like I just hope that you

181
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: guys still have me come back and retire ingo because

182
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: this is where I want to be at the end.

183
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Well, speaking of playing for other teams, that

184
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: the crazy part is and Ozzie touched on this in

185
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: his story about the draft in two thousand and six,

186
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: is that you could have been in Cleveland Brown. I mean,

187
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: if the Ravens didn't trade up one pick from thirteen

188
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: to twelve, you could have been a Brown. Do you

189
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: ever think about what your career would have been like

190
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: or how it would have been different? Head that it

191
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: would have been way different, because uh that year. UM,

192
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: I think it was Cameron Wimbley who got drafted there,

193
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: and I think like his first five years, he was

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: only three different teams already. So I could have just

195
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: imagined myself being in that same situation where you're going

196
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: through so many different defensive coordinators, head coaches and so,

197
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: and you're not a guy they picked you know that

198
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: the new coaching staff that comes in and so it

199
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: makes it hard. So I think I probably would have

200
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: been in the same situation as Cameron UM. And so

201
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: it's just I know my life would have just been

202
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: chaos at that time. But I'm just so like I said,

203
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm just so happy and glad that I was drafted

204
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: here and um a part of an amazing defense that

205
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: just um, it was very dominant, uh through most of

206
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: my career. So when you get here in two thousand

207
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: and six, you step into a defense, it has ray

208
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: ed to real slugs, Bart Scott Dahlias, tom Us, I

209
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: could kind of continue Johnson and Chris mkellister. I mean

210
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 1: it's it's like the was it crazy to walk into

211
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: the locker room, look around and see all those guys,

212
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: but also you belong. I mean you came in and

213
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: you were started right away. Like what was that like

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: to walk into that locker room? It was just like

215
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: I said, start struck. In the beginning, you see all

216
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: these players you watched UM. But then you're kind of like, okay,

217
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: let's ask questions, how can I get better? What can

218
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: I do to help this defense out? Um? Then you

219
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: try to meet with some of the old ravens, with

220
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: Siragosa and UM, you talk with Rex and so it's

221
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: like you try to get advice or any you know,

222
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: points that you can get to help you, UM be

223
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: a dominant player. And so a lot of times for me,

224
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: I just watched them like I look at him and him.

225
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even have to ask questions. Um, you watched

226
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: the way they watched film. You watched UM the way

227
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: they took care of the bodies and how hard they

228
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: practice and how hard they worked in the weight room,

229
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: and so yeah, I just started doing the same thing

230
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: like Susie ray Lewis every training camp pull out a

231
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: fresh notebook and write notes. It was like huge because

232
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: you're like, he already knows the defense really well, he

233
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: knows offenses really well. Um, and every doing the same thing.

234
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, if they're already notes and this

235
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: is my fourth year, Like I already know the defense,

236
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 1: so I might as well consider to write notes and

237
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: pick up anything I can and um. But at the

238
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: same time, like I didn't realize that it helped me

239
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: play faster and I didn't have to think about anything

240
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: because I already studied it so well in film, already

241
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: know the playbook inside and out. I know what other

242
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: players are doing because where I was supposed to be,

243
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: and so it just made the whole thing easier and

244
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: just um, it was just so uh, it was not

245
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: that hard to just follow these guys because you knew

246
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: what you're getting into and what they're doing, and um,

247
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 1: then you just start to become like them. Who do

248
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: you think helped you them? Us? In those early years. Uh,

249
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: Kelly greg definitely, Um, I watched film on him. Buddy,

250
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: we talk about a different body type, differ different body types.

251
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: So I just love the way he was smart, he

252
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: knew a lot of things, but how balanced he was

253
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: um with guys hitting him from the side and him

254
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: not moving. So I wanted to be the same way.

255
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: And just you know, I was a little taller, little leaner,

256
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: so it just made it harder. But then you know

257
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: it just you just keep continue to watch it and

258
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: practice it, and you you, well, you watched the way

259
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: he does his technique and and practices, and you watched

260
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: the way he doesn't team drills, and you're watching a film,

261
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: you start to like actually start doing it. So Kelly

262
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Gregg definitely taught me a lot in the beginning. Uh,

263
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: definitely with n stopping and then Trevor Price was just

264
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 1: a mazing to have him come in and um, he's

265
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: such a dominant pass rusher that you can learn some things, uh,

266
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: just by watching him as well. I mean the way

267
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: he rushed a passer and got to the ball was

268
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: just just an amazing thing to watch. One thing I

269
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: always thought was interesting was the close friendship that you

270
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: develt with Terrell sugs, locker mats. I mean like Terrell

271
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: was like you cannot move he LOADI away from my locker,

272
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: break us up. There's gonna be some problems, you know,

273
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: but you're like such different guys personality wise, Like he's

274
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: a sprash, outgoing guy. More of us all spoken dude,

275
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: Like just how did that friendship come to be? And

276
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: and you know how did you both benefit from each other? Yeah?

277
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: I just Terrell allowed me to be speed myself, and

278
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: then for me it was okay to be myself out

279
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: in public. Like Terrell Suck is al. It's gonna be

280
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: Terrell sucks. He's gonna be outgoing, gonna be loud, gonna

281
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: be goofy um. You know, it's gonna yell outrageous stuff

282
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: at any moment. So then you're like, okay, so he's himself.

283
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: People you know are okay with it. Like I just

284
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: always reserved and like I didn't want to, like you

285
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: let everybody in, so like now like being around him

286
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: and just let me open up and beat myself and

287
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: kind of, um, just you know, just have fun with it.

288
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: Always have fun with football practices, meeting rooms. Um, it

289
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: was funny because it's the first I ever metro al sungs.

290
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: I didn't like him. It was crazy, like I hated him.

291
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: I was like, like, he's so loud. But then he

292
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: like he looked at me. I was like, you gotta

293
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: buy a um sound system for the weight room and

294
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: at the college where at McDaniel it was like a

295
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: beat up old radio that we're listening music to while

296
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: we're working out, and he's like, you gotta buy a

297
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: new stereo system. I'm like, who was this guy telling me?

298
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: Like buy? And like, so I bought it, but you know,

299
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: it just kind of did my thing. Like if people

300
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: were telling me do stuff, I was just doing it.

301
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: I didn't just wart with it. And I bought the

302
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: sound system and he was like, dude, I didn't really

303
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: think you're going to do it. Uh. He probably put

304
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: it right in his no I know, but I think

305
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: we kept it there at McDaniel. So, UM, I think

306
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: he had a lot of respects for that. And um,

307
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: every time somebody if I said I was gonna do something,

308
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: I just gonna do it. And he knew that, and

309
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: I think he just loved that about me. I was like,

310
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I was always true to myself, and UM, I always

311
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: lived what I was showing and preached and taught, and

312
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: so he loved it about me and always, uh, you know,

313
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: he could come to me for advice about you know,

314
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: off the field stuff and so, um, it was just

315
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: great that we kind of just would go back and

316
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: forth of teaching each other different things of football and life.

317
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: And um, we did a bunch of talking in our

318
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: sauna sessions that we did after practice, and um, I

319
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: just love Says. Says was one of my favorite and

320
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: best teammates I've ever had. I think it hit him hard, honestly,

321
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: when you weren't here anymore like that next year. I

322
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: felt like it took him a while to kind of like, yeah,

323
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: it was weird for me too, Like I just yeah,

324
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: I missed Says a lot. That was my guy, and

325
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: not having them next to me and or hearing him

326
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 1: yell something and outrageous. It's just it was just different.

327
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: I definitely missed, uh something in my in my locker

328
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: life was it was just different. I was shocked, are

329
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: you when he went to Arizona? This shock that was.

330
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be here for life and

331
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: he was gonna be just done here. But um, yeah,

332
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: there's probably the same situation with me that there size

333
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: of the meat, and I guess to play at home,

334
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: so he'll probably he'll probably be back here doing this

335
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: same exactly exactly. So a couple of get things. What

336
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: are some of the big games that stand out to you.

337
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you talked about the play the hit on

338
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 1: Bend where he broke his nose, which I think a

339
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: lot of people fans think about. That is probably the

340
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: first one that comes to mind, the Menden Hall hit.

341
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: What are the games that stand out to you? Is

342
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: it Super Bowl? That was kind of a weird game

343
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: here obviously when the Super Bowl, but you unhurt that

344
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: I got hurt that game, so that was it was tough.

345
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like you you watched the

346
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: film of that game, Like it's hard to watch the

347
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: film because even though you won, but because your team

348
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: kind of separates right after that. But like you go

349
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: back the next you start the next season. You watched

350
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: that film, um, and it's cool to see, like I

351
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: did make a difference only the first half because they

352
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: weren't running anywhere at all first half, so and then

353
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: I get hurt in the third quarter. The third quarter,

354
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: I get hurt and then they started running the ball

355
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: more so it's like dang, so I held them off

356
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: in just long enough for them for us to win

357
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: the game. So but that was that's definitely a great memory.

358
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: And you know, winning the Super Bowl, I've always thought

359
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: it was like an individual thing, like, I mean, you

360
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: do it with your teammates, but what I want. All

361
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: I thought about was my family and my dad, um,

362
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, my wife and kids, and my brothers and sisters,

363
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: and so that was so cool to like be able

364
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: to celebrate it with them in that moment um. And

365
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: then any time I made an interception, it was like

366
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: a cool game. So Houston Sex Scenes the Call Bolts

367
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: and Tampa Bay, so that those are the games. Like

368
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: for d Linemen to get interception is kind of you know, Well,

369
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: when I was watching your old rugby highlights today and

370
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: then I put the side by side with your old

371
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: football highlights, would you get the ball in your hands?

372
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: You're kind of a natural athlete. Yeah, you look like

373
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: you're made to run the ball. Yeah, I just got

374
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: a score trying to score. Yeah. I remember the interception

375
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: you had that pretty much sealed the win over the Steelers.

376
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: It was like full extension diving. I don't know if

377
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 1: another defensive tackle has ever or will ever in the

378
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: future pool off that kind of interception. I don't know

379
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: what I just did it. I don't know, like my

380
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: body just reacted. I guess I was out of body experience.

381
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: Have you have you ever this is going back to

382
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: the hit against Ben. Have you guys ever talked about

383
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: that play that was breaking? No? I have actually never

384
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: talked to him, Like we never got like other than

385
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: playing them, might never talked to him. Maybe a Pro

386
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: Bowl or something like that. Yeah, like the times I

387
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: would go or the times I I got invited to go,

388
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't got family, Like I had a baby one

389
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: year and then I got hurt one year and against

390
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: you for breaking his nose. Yeah. Probably, I don't know.

391
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't really care. Ah. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ben

392
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: is probably a good guy. I gotta know. How did

393
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: you come up with the idea of doing the retirement

394
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,719
Speaker 1: announcement a top Mount Kilman jar? Yeah? So I got

395
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: invited by Chris Long. He has she does a charity

396
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: event out there and um hikes Mount Kilman art to

397
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: bring awareness of the water, how bad the water is

398
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: out and East Africa and so um every year they

399
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: go out and build a well um in the village

400
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: that needs water. And so it's really cool to go

401
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: out there and you see the villages and how bad

402
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: the situation really is and um they have a lot

403
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 1: of fluoride that's really bad for your body in the water.

404
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: So um they're building a lot of welles out there,

405
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: and so you go. I went out there for that

406
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: UM and then at the same time, I just asked

407
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: him if I can retire I think, and that's my

408
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: retirement on top and he was like, dude, that would

409
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: be so cool, like if you did that um here

410
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: and so like it was like I knew I was

411
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: probably gonna retire. I mean by the NFC, so I

412
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: was gonna retire, and so when he invited me to

413
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: do that, I was like, I'll be a like it's

414
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 1: just kind of doing felt I just felt together like

415
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to, like I didn't just go to

416
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: Mount coming Joal just to announce my retirement. Just happened

417
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: to like fall at the same time, which was I

418
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: was just thankful that Chris let me do it, you know,

419
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: during his uh his charity event there and it's just

420
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: I was just glad that I was. It was cool

421
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: to be able to do that and say I ended

422
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: out on top. It's pretty impressive. Guy. Yeah, the the

423
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: guy that went with us, he was like, we should

424
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: have weighed you before because it would have been like

425
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: a world record. He believes it would have been like

426
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 1: a world record for the biggest ever hike. Were you

427
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: like it's the hardest part? Were you super out of breath?

428
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: Was it not? Yeah? So right when I got past

429
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: about seventet I was getting dizzy a lot, like how

430
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: to take more breaks? Um, so it was that's that's

431
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: what I got. Like I didn't really like throw up

432
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: or anything. I just got dizzy. That that's the only part.

433
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 1: So I had to like take a couple of breaks

434
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: just to like catch my body again, like okay, slow

435
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: down and then like you go a couple of feet

436
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: and then that's just stop again, Like yeah, I want

437
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 1: to fall off a cliffor and there. Maybe all you

438
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: didn't get the official record, we'll give it to you.

439
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: We'll say that you're the biggest. You still look like

440
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: you're in really like if we don't sign Gerald McCoy,

441
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: reconsider this whole time. Yeah, I just don't want to

442
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: wake up sore anymore. I always felt. But I mean,

443
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: you played such a tough position and it took a

444
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: beating over the course of your career. So I don't

445
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: do you blame you at all? Yeah, and yeah, my

446
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: wife asking me every morning, are you okay? Like, yeah,

447
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: just give me a couple of minutes. But yeah, when

448
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: I started, once I started questioning the last month, it

449
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: was that's when I knew. I was like, it's time. Definitely,

450
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: the yea's tired because if you like, I've never questioned, like,

451
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: uh me being sore in the morning, Like, it's part

452
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: of the business. Is what you do, this is what

453
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: you signed up for. And so I started questioning the

454
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,679
Speaker 1: last month of the season. And once I started doing that,

455
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I was like a kid's time before we let you go.

456
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: I gotta tell this story because this is one of

457
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: my favorite Holidi stories. This is this is one of

458
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: my first interviews with him. So I started hearing two

459
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: thousand and eleven, I remember what year it was. But

460
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: I went to Holidi and asked him to do an interview,

461
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: and he liked to He liked to give us hard time,

462
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, and time from I know exactly exactly comment

463
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,720

464
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: you an interview in his a locker room, and he

465
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 1: says he needed a cornhole partner. He was thinking during
