182
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: Because you can go to Tennessee State. I mean, it's

183
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: it's a grind. It's already a grind. So going going

184
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: to a school that tendency state, it teaches you how

185
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: to grind, So you already have that that that that

186
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: in you, you know, So it's small. And I tell

187
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: people this all the time. It's you don't understand. But

188
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: when I went to Tennsey State, I had one pair

189
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: of cleat. That's it. That whole season. You got one

190
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: pair of cleats. That's my practice. Please, those are my

191
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: game cleats. Lets, That's what I'm saying. Right, But you

192
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: go to a school a far to state, those guys

193
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: got you know, probably on those the cleats like a

194
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: where like now you're on my locker. Now I can't

195
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: get rid of my cleats everywhere, throw many creaks away

196
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: to do some every different cause yeah, exactly. So, but

197
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: when when you're going to school I State and that,

198
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: and that's what you have to do. You have to

199
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: make sure they take care of them. One pair of cleats.

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,960

303
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: we get like in film session. Then one day A

304
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Riders called me the massed up disaster because I always

305
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: messed up, like, um, so when we say no when

306
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: we play them, you know two weeks ago, uh we're

307
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: walking off the field, He's like, master, Master, what's up Tony?

308
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 1: And I told him I hate to be called Tony.

309
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: I hate to be called Tony. I'm like, hey, I

310
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: don't like being called tonies. Like, well, that's I think

311
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: I said, no, that's not a thing because I don't

312
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: like the disaster, you know, but he he refuses. He

313
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: always called me tony, so I was like, you can

314
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: everybody he calls me mastered up disaster because he's always

315
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: missed up. So it sounds like this is kind of

316
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: your thing, because so early in your career you're rookie

317
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 1: and you messed with Aaron Rodgers. You master your disaster,

318
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: then you get here, and then you know you were

319
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: here in want of super here, and then in two

320
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: thousand and fourteen you went to the toe with Steve Smith.

321
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: So Steve Smith signs here and obviously obviously everyone knews

322
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: his story and he's, you know, future Hall of Famer

323
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And then I believe it's one of

324
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: your first days of practice. You're going up against him

325
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: and kind of going at him in the same way

326
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: that you did Aaron Rodgers when you first made a

327
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: name for yourself here in practice. Well, Steve, Steve like

328
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: the lockout and Stevens Stephen is a guy that he uh,

329
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna let you know how you feel. Oh he does.

330
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: I didn't realize let you know how you feel when

331
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: when when he comes out of practice. So one day

332
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: he comes out of practice and he calls all the

333
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: dvs out. He called all the dvs out, like, I'm

334
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna shoot today. I'm gonna shoot today. Is everybody. Yeah,

335
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: he's doing that everybody. So I'm just like, I'm looking.

336
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm just like, and you know, Steve, Ben, Steve,

337
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, he's doing this thing. So I just said,

338
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 1: you go do that to me? Is that we come

339
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: out here there. So I go out there and the

340
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: first relp Uh, I think I got him. I think

341
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: I got him on the first roup. I ain't sure.

342
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't I don't really remember the first LT. I

343
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: think I think I got him on the first ralph.

344
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he got me on the first rold. But we

345
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: went that and then I was like, you know, he's like,

346
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: let's go again. So I went on him again and

347
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: I won one of those two reps. I was the

348
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: first one. On the second one, and then the third rep.

349
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, stage man, Steve, you know, he he wanted

350
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: third rep. But that that's when, right there, I got

351
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 1: the respect Steve Smith, right and ever since, you know,

352
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: it's just is me me and his relationship. You know,

353
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: it has become into a great friendship. That's cool right there.

354
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: But um, so what did he say after that third rep?

355
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: He spun the ball? Away? Said he got the third

356
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: he won. He want a tiebreaker, right, he's spun the

357
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: ball and not kicked it. But but that that's when

358
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I got to respect the Steve. I mean he said that.

359
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I mean he has talked about how in that moment

360
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: and that battle that you guys had, he noticed that.

361
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: I mean not many guys, particularly somebody that's It's not

362
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: like you were the starting corner. He's saying, like it

363
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: was the ones you know, you were somebody that's you

364
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: know at that time, most of the Special Teams guy,

365
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, I'll go against you, your

366
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: future Hall of Famer, Like I'm up to the challenge.

367
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: So I think that that probably caught his attention to a

368
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: a lot of guys attention. Yeah, and I think that's

369
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,880
Speaker 1: that's yea, I saw that um at corner. But um yeah, man,

370
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: I think that that's what my teammates. You know. That's

371
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: that's why my teammates just respect me, because I didn't

372
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna go out there and I'm giving my all.

373
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the best that I can. And when

374
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: when I first met Steve, that's how I was. But

375
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: he gonna, Steve gonna come out. He gonna bank it,

376
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: and he gonna bank it. If you ain't gonn bank it,

377
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: don't come out there because he's gonna bank it. And

378
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: I was just like, man, all right, let's go like

379
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: you don't scare me. And he was like he looked

380
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,959
Speaker 1: at me like man, come on, I'm gonna show you,

381
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: you know. And but we went at it. You know,

382
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: he won, I won one. He won too, but it's

383
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: not yeah, yeah it's not. But you know right there,

384
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: right And then I think that's when coached hallball and

385
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: then coach hall ball. I was like, I think he

386
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: took notice of that right there. And then one day, um,

387
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: he just came to me and was like, you can

388
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: played corner. I was like, no, I never played corner before.

389
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: He's like, okay, you know. I was like, I mean,

390
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I'll go out there and I'll do a coach, because

391
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: like what today, go play corner. So on scout team,

392
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: I was the corner and uh, Bobby was talking, uh

393
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: and then Tor Tori was talking, Steve was talking. So

394
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: that's where I was like all right, Jacobe, Jacobe Jones.

395
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: There was all out there, they all, they all, they

396
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: all talking trash. And one day in practice and we're

397
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 1: just going at it. We're gonna add it. And Joe

398
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: Jonat really talked that much trash. But you can tell, like,

399
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: you know, Joe got that, he got that to him. Yeah,

400
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: so the whole president coming to that man, and but

401
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm making plays and I'm talking, I'm talking. Then I

402
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: was just like, yeah, y'all, welcome to v out of

403
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the day, out of the day. And that's when, uh,

404
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: that's when I started the whole the whole island thing.

405
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: You know that that went on for a while and

406
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: then then my island kind of got you know, invaded

407
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: a little crowd on the island. Yeah, I had some

408
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: trash pass, so you know, I had a no trash

409
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: pass sign that they took it down. It got ugly

410
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: one day and Jacobe came up there running like a

411
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: horse and Tory and yeah, yeah, but you started three games, yeah, corner. Yeah,

412
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: I started in New Orleans, Tennessee and San Diego, right,

413
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: and and so I mean you hadn't played it, you know,

414
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: It's like and it's not like I mean transitioning to

415
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: a corner. Some guys go from corner safety, right. You know,

416
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: it's like when you're not fast enough to play corner anymore,

417
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: some guys go and play safety at the end of

418
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: their careers or whatever. Like not many guys go from

419
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,199
Speaker 1: safety to corner. That's pretty rare, and that's I mean,

420
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: it's pretty rokfull. You're able to do that. Yeah, I don't.

421
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea when that happened. I mean, I

422
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: mean when co coach I watched me by that going

423
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: to corner right now, I've always been a guy that

424
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: can run. I always I could run. I got pretty

425
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: good hips. But yeah, to go from safety to corner.

426
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: Then I went to Nickel that that season, right, and

427
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: then I go a linebacker. I mean, I'm just waiting

428
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: when they put me on the big baby spot. When

429
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: you're at like a party and you know somebody's you know,

430
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, well I played for the Ravens, right,

431
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: and they're like, well, what position do you play? Safety? Line?

432
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: You say safety linebacker? Okay, I feel like it should

433
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: have like four more slashes in that, right. Yeah, you

434
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: could see that you could be the slash. Yeah, I

435
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: like that right, that's not what was What was Cardel

436
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: Steward's name, I think that's what that was. It was.

437
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: I think it was slash because he played quarterback. Yes,

438
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: running back slash slash Wikipedia, Right, that's what I'm saying.

439
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: You're the slash. Yeah, I mean we could do that.

440
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: To do that like that, I mean, is that it

441
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: does seem like that's something that like you really take

442
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: a lot of pride in because you can play just

443
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you joked about playing defense line that's probably

444
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: one you couldn't do. But you can play literally just

445
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: about every spot of the defense. And there are times

446
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: actually when you're up with the line scrimmage when you're

447
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: blissing and coming in like that. But I mean, is

448
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: that is that sort of cotton to become your matra,

449
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: your trademark. Yeah? Yeah. Just just being able to go

450
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: out there and just you know, play in the in

451
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,919

469
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: come in, I've seen guys go uh so me me

470
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: coming from the practice squad, coming from being undrafted, to

471
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: coming from to just being just special teams guy. Uh,

472
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 1: you see a lot. You see a lot, and you know,

473
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: you know what what the business, how to how the

474
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: business go, and you don't. I don't want to be

475
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 1: that guy. So I know, Okay, I gotta start. I

476
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: gotta be able to do this. I gotta be able

477
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: to you know. And it just kind of happen, you know,

478
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: So it's been great kind of along those lines. I

479
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: mean you're talking about kind of the journey, right and

480
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: going through all these different stops and the practice squad

481
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: and special teams and all that stuff. And I think

482
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: your teammates. I get the sense that your teammates kind

483
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: of look up to you, particularly the young guys, because

484
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: if someone's a six or seventh round pick or an

485
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: undrafted guy and they want to stay in the league,

486
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: your path is the way to do it. And I

487
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 1: felt like all that kind of came out on Sunday

488
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: or on Monday night when you got that interception, Like

489
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: it seemed like an emotional moment for you. And I

490
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever seen a sideline as excited

491
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: for a play from a teammate as it seemed like

492
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: that sideline was. Yeah, I love my teammates, and my

493
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: teammates love me, and I would like like when I

494
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: when I saw I didn't feel a part of that

495
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay team when I came here. It's just been

496
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: like it's like it's really family. Like everybody knows everybody

497
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, and we all we all care about each other,

498
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: we all y'all want to see each other to succeed,

499
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: you know. And it's just even if you notice anytime

500
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: somebody make a play on our team. Man, I was

501
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: spread out there like we got our head shades, like

502
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to like he's just man, it's fun. And

503
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: my teammates. None of my teammates knew that there was

504
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: my first career interception. It was like that was your

505
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,360

553
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: what was the celebration is supposed to be? But I

554
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: don't want to get that out of that, right, you know,

555
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 1: you don't want to spoil it. You kind of have

556
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: that saved. Now you got to get another shot at

557
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: it exactly exactly? Can you imagine it would be like,

558
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, you you finally hit a jump shot in

559
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: basketball for the first time in your entire life, and

560
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: you go to celebrate and then you just just well,

561
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: I've hit the jump shot. But it's generally speaking like

562
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: he think banks in somehow that wasn't where I didn't

563
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: call Glass. Yeah, you know, definitely didn't call Glass. Did

564
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 1: you call it? Did you call it? Now? You didn't

565
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: call it that way? I always call them when that happens,

566
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: of course, got Bank anyway, good stuff, being really funny guy,

567
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: interesting guy who's uh, you know, he's done it the

568
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: hard way and he's now in this eighth year, got

569
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: in a contract extentis from the Ravens. He's gonna be

570
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: here for a little while. And and he is somebody

571
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: that that the players in that cocker room respect. And

572
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: I think that they see his journey, they see the

573
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: work he's put in um and he's he's somebody that

575
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: not get all the fanfare, you know, but inside that

576
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: locker room, he's definitely somebody that's really respected. And I

577
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: think we saw that on Monday, and we didn't talk

578
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,840

00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: the Terrell Suggs of special teams. That's what he wants

580
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: to be. That's what he said to me in an

581
