Um, 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: so it's been uh, it's been a blast.

So it's UM, 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: it's all kind of coming full circle. And I really 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: appreciate seeing everybody the draft back in oh nine Radio 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: City Music. So I remember you actually coming up here 32 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: to the second floor at one Jets Drive, and one 33 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: of the first things I heard on your mouth was 34 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: you were asking people their names and he said, I 35 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: have to remember your name. I mean that that was 36 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: something that was on your mind from the get I 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: think a lot of that was from Coach Carroll, who 38 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: learned a lot of that from Bill Walsh. And Um, 39 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: he's got a book. The Score takes care of itself, 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: but it talks about the chef in the building, the 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: person signing or selling tickets, the sweet salesperson. Everybody has 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: their specific role in an organization, and that's kind of 43 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: the way I was brought up at USC so, um, 44 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: I gotta thank coach Girl for that. And um my 45 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: high school coach Bob Johnson always reminded me, Um, you know, 46 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who it is that you interact with. 47 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: You don't know what that person is, what you'll ever 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: do for them, what they'll do for you, but you 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,839 Speaker 1: gotta respect him. You gotta treat them the right way. 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 1: And I hope I did that, um, you know, as 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: as best I could. I felt like I did. But um, 52 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, you never know when when somebody's gonna help 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: you out, when somebody's gonna um do something for you, 54 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: so you always want to be available to them. And 55 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: that was a big deal, you know, the respect thing 56 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: and shaking hands, and that was you know, since I 57 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: was a little guy. And now I'm trying to teach 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: my little man that who's five years old, Daniel. So um, so, 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: like I said, it's coming full circle. And well we're 60 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: going to get to the family here in a little bit. 61 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: But you mentioned Pete. It's interesting you go back to 62 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: before you declared for the draft. Pete wasn't a favor 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: that relationship at all. Well, so that's it's funny because that, um, 64 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: that was like the headline that, oh, Carol and Sanchez, 65 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: there's bad blood there, you know, and what people don't know. 66 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: And I've said this, you know now that I've been 67 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: retired and stuff. I think I said it when I 68 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: was playing. But the night before that press conference, Pete 69 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: Carroll was in my apartment un till two am, and 70 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: we're eating cheeseburgers. We're eating in and out cheeseburger We'll 71 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: shut up. Um, We're eating in and out cheeseburgers, talking 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: and he's recruiting me to stay in a way, in 73 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: Pete's way of you know, and giving me the whole layout, 74 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: saying a lot of what he was going to say 75 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: the next day. So it wasn't a shock when I 76 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: heard what he was talking about. Because the numbers truly 77 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: weren't great for younger quarterbacks to declare early and go 78 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: to the NFL. The success rate was really really low. 79 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: Now define success, well, that's relative, okay, fine, but to 80 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: have what we had, I wouldn't change my decision for 81 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: the world because of what I experienced here and those 82 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: first two seasons were incredible. So it didn't bother me 83 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: when Pete said it. But since nobody else had heard it, 84 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: I had already heard it, and I knew he didn't 85 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: agree with me, but he was cool with it. Like, 86 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: but he said, you know, I'm gonna say that this 87 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: isn't you know, I don't think this is the best move. 88 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: And I said, Coach, I respect that you. You have 89 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: a right to your opinion and that's your way of thinking. 90 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: I just feel like this is the right time for 91 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: me to make this move. Cool, all good. I give 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: him a big hug. At the end of the night. 93 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: Everything's fine. I go to the press conference. He says 94 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: what he's gonna say, and then it just explodes. And 95 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: Pete called me like an hour later, and he goes, holy. 96 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: He's like, dude, I didn't of course, I want you 97 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 1: to do well. Of course I'm going to be rooting 98 00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: for you, like I didn't mean for it to come 99 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: off like I don't. I disagree, and I hope he fails. 100 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: He's like, that's not that's not And I said, coach, 101 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: you didn't thank you for making the phone call completely 102 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: unnecessary because I know where you're coming from. It's all good. 103 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: And he's still never a bump in the road, like 104 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 1: zero say not yeah, and so it's um, you know, 105 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: I got a lot of press and all that, but 106 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: what was that private workout like with the Jets? Who 107 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: was there from this organization because a lot of people 108 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: had PEG The Jets maybe taken a Josh Freeman after 109 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: Brett Farve of course signed with the Vikings. Um, let's 110 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: see Kavanaugh was there? Who was here last year? Shoddy, 111 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: Mike t Mike Tannerbom, Mr Johnson? What am I forgetting? 112 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: I feel like there were one or two more people, 113 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: obviously Rex, Um, and this was that might be it. 114 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: But we went to dinner after and this was the 115 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: kicker and Rex always loved this story. But and you're 116 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: obviously remember Rex's personality. Um, but we're walking out of 117 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: dinner with that whole group, and there's a motorcycle parked 118 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: right in front of the restaurant with a helmet on it, 119 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: hanging on it. And I didn't write a motorcycle, don't 120 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: know how to write a motorcycle, Like nothing had nothing 121 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: to do with me. But I walked over to it 122 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: because I felt so comfortable with them. I was like, 123 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: I really hope I go to this team. I don't 124 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: think it's gonna happen because they're picking so late. But 125 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: never in a million years or was I going to 126 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: know that they were going to trade up like that. 127 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: And I don't know if they knew it at the time. 128 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: So I went to go. I said goodbye everybody, thank you, 129 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: you know whatever, we'll talk soon. I hope it works out. 130 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: And I grabbed the helmet off the motorcycle and pretended 131 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: to get on the motorcycle. Rex goes, hell, yeah, that's 132 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: our guy, you know, like joking around because he knew 133 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: I was joking, and Mr the look on Mr Johnson's face, 134 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: he was just like, oh God, please tell me this 135 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: isn't real. I was like, I'm just kidding, Mr Johnson. Sorry, 136 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: you know, I remember. I remember my headlined uh when 137 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: they actually moved up with Mangini because obviously with the 138 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: Browns to get the number five number overall and sending 139 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks and three veteran players said 140 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: from Hollywood to Broadway here coming from Mark Sanchez, Yeah, 141 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: I'm going to see a show, actually, are you? Yeah? 142 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: What do you see? American Buffalo? Laurence Fishburne? How many 143 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: plays did you see while you were here as a player? 144 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: A lot, a lot I couldn't count. I mean I 145 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: saw in the Heights so many times, Wicked Fences. Um, 146 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: she's um Memphis I presented for at the Tony's remember 147 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 1: when Memphis won Best Musical. But I loved it. I 148 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: just once I met some of the performers and learned 149 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: about their schedule. I mean eight shows a week. These 150 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: people are taking care of their bodies, learning their positions, 151 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: They got their whole thing choreographed, and their voices got 152 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: to be on point. Like I just respected them so much, 153 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: and it was so similar to what we do here 154 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: as players, you know, And um, I just immediately fell 155 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: in love. My parents took me to like Lyon King 156 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: when I was a little kid, Oliver Twist when I 157 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: was a little kid, and I always had this you know, 158 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: respect and affinity for the arts and and theater. So 159 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: it's um, I mean, there's no better place in the world. 160 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: You come play for the Jets and you get to 161 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: go to these shows and people are inviting you to 162 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: premieres and stuff like that was so cool. So I 163 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: tried to take advantage of it when I could. And 164 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't know if the guys will 165 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: say it but their wives appreciated it because I'd always 166 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: bring the guys and say, hey, yeah, bring your wife, 167 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: bring your wife, And they couldn't drag those guys to 168 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: plays or shows or anything. So you were making so 169 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: we can get at least one boy's night an agenda. 170 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: I had an agenda, but they didn't need to know 171 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 1: all the details. Hey, is it crazy to think that 172 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: you had four seasons here? Yeah, it's um, it seemed 173 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: long and short at the same time. I don't know. Yeah, 174 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: it was weird because once once I leave here, you know, 175 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: I just started bounced around and that was a different 176 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: experience of the NFL. And I kind of got a 177 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: lot of things backwards early because we had so much success, 178 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: and I'm coming straight out of college where you had success, 179 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: and I'm like, the NFL stuffs not so bad, Like 180 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: it's not so hard. Stay with one team, play here forever, 181 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: go to the playoffs every year. You know, we'll win 182 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls along the way. You know, 183 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: that's how you think. Um, And then you get to 184 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: the reality of being cut, being traded, like different things 185 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: happening to you, and you learn a lot more about 186 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: the business side of the NFL and listen, you have 187 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: to go through everything you go through up until this 188 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: point to get to this point. So I wouldn't change 189 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I met a lot of great 190 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: people along the way, but obviously the Jets. You know, 191 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: it's like your first love. You know, you just have 192 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: um a special place in your heart for for this place, 193 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: the people here, the organization, the city. All of it 194 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: was retirement easy for you. At thirty two, you're young, dude. 195 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: At thirty two, you're still a young guy. At thirty five, 196 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: it's it's weird and um and by the way, we're 197 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: gonna get to your career because you're doing a lot 198 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 1: of great things, broadcasting concern You're hosting the exchange here 199 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: with your buddy Thicky just you know, Karen his weight 200 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 1: like I used to as a player.

I feel like I was just lucky, blessed, fortunate, 202 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: all those things combined to have made the relationships I made, 203 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: learned what I did along the way, and be able 204 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: to hopefully present myself well and talk about the game. 205 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: Learn enough about the game, all the different systems I've 206 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: been in. So when I watched something and analyze it. 207 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: I have a pretty good idea and then you know, 208 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: my people skills kick in and I can relate that 209 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: information to the lay person who doesn't who isn't like 210 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: a hardcore football person who doesn't know what for two 211 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: man is, but I can explain it quickly, and I 212 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: felt like that's where I wanted to move on to. 213 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: I had to learn a lot about being on camera, 214 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: the red light on the camera, like all that kind 215 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: of stuff where in an I FB what what is? 216 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: What is all that you know? And it took a 217 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: little time, but I felt like I had some of 218 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: the best experience leading into that USC huge market New 219 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: York Jets, huge market. I couldn't get out of a 220 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: big market.

I was there, Dallas, Chicago, DC, 222 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: like Philly, like everything. Every market was massive.

I said, listen, we're going 330 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: on this vacation. It's the first time we're gonna see 331 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: each other. I don't want to talk any nonsense about 332 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 1: this marriage stuff. So just table it and it was 333 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: let's giveaway no, and she was just like, oh, like 334 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,239 Speaker 1: pretty bumped like it. I could tell it like her 335 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I'm holding the phone away from 336 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,639 Speaker 1: my face, like trying not to laugh because I know 337 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: what's going on, you know, to the point where I'm 338 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: telling her girlfriends like if you all blow this, no 339 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: invite to the wedding. I'm not kidding. And they are 340 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 1: like her friends friends, you know. So it went off 341 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: without a hitch. I was shocked. But when we walked 342 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: my whole ruse to get her there was to get 343 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 1: her to the actual place where we were gonna where 344 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: I was going to propose is um. I said, hey, 345 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,640 Speaker 1: the lady at the front desk said, there's a great 346 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: place to take pictures out on this um out kind 347 00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: of in this like foyer area. Uh. And we had 348 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: everything set up, the dinner, the whole deal, and so 349 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: it's there's like rose petals everywhere and like this romantic scene. 350 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,719 Speaker 1: And so we go in and I tell her like, hey, 351 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 1: let's some why why don't you do your hair a 352 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: little bit so we can go take some pictures and 353 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: like why don't you wear this? And she's kind of 354 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 1: looked at me like why are you shaving. We're on vacation. 355 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know, let's just take some pictures, 356 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: you know, like let's whatever. And we opened the door 357 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: to this place and it's all decorated obviously for some 358 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: sort of either like um, you know, renewal of vows, 359 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: vows um or or like yeah, some kind of like anniversary, romantic, 360 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: celebrated celebration, anniversary something. And so when I opened it, 361 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,719 Speaker 1: I see the lady Ariel from the hotel, and I 362 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, are we interrupting someone's event? 363 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: And she goes, well, they'll be here in a couple 364 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 1: of minutes, but you guys can take some pictures if 365 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: you want. It's like okay, and we're walking through this 366 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: like beautifully romantic setting. It's just kind of like sinking 367 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 1: lower and lower and lower, like damn, why would he 368 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: bring me here if this isn't for me? And so 369 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: we started taking pictures and she was taking selfies like that, 370 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: and I, um, I'm kind of behind her, and so 371 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: as she's holding the phone like that, I put the 372 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: ring like on her shoulder, and so she goes to 373 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: take the picture. And you know how girls are, they 374 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: want to take like twenty pictures, so she's taking a 375 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: bunch and then she finally realizes it and kind of 376 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: goes like that, like there's a bug on her or something, 377 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: you know. And then she's like, what are you doing? 378 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 1: You know? And I get down on the knee and 379 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: do the whole thing, and the whole time she just says, 380 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing? It's like, well, 381 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: if you let me talk, I'll tell you what I'm doing. Um, 382 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: And and then the final kicker was just her parents 383 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: being there, and she had no idea it was supposed 384 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: to be like a couple's vacation. And I said, you know, 385 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,199 Speaker 1: there's a special moment for us, but for you especially, 386 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: and I know you really want your parents here. So 387 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: she goes, yeah, I know, and she kind of gave 388 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: me a look and I was like, well, we can 389 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: call him out if you want. She was just shocked, 390 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: you know. And so her dad turned on the water works. 391 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: Her glasses were all fogged up. Dude, he's and he's 392 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: the best. They're both great. But yeah, I love pop 393 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: Ken Mom show.

I know it's just so t 410 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: as Robert Salis says. This is all about what you're 411 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: doing from the neck up right now. Not a lot 412 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: of violence on the football field, but just from a 413 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: cultural perspective, what you've seen from Salah, Joe Douglas and 414 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: your glimpse of the roster, well, I think, um, they've 415 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: acquired the right picks, they've acquired the right talent, The 416 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: right kind of people. It looks like and you can 417 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: see it. It's um because let's face it, when when 418 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: we went on our really good runs, this team was 419 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: tight and it works right, it's um. It's a unique 420 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: relationship because winning and you you win a lot of 421 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: games and you get tight, or you start to get 422 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: tight and you win a lot of games. They go 423 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: hand in hand and they help each other, right, This 424 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: like symbiotic relationship. So I feel like with what I saw, 425 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: your qbs out for the day. But Flacco and Mike 426 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: White pick up the slack and it looks great that 427 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: the amount of talent that they've acquired and the guys 428 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 1: who are getting healthy like Mosley Um, the stud up front, 429 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: Quinny Williams, Like they got players, the guys that while 430 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: you the guys that keep offensive and defensive coordinators up 431 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: at night like damn, how are we gonna stop this guy? 432 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: Or how are we gonna block this guy? Or what 433 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: are we gonna do at corner? Because that kid number 434 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: one Sauce. I mean, that guy's like freaking fly paper man. 435 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: He sticks to everything, does a little bit like Crow 436 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: body wise, but he's got some strength and he's like 437 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: got some wiry strength the way Revs was like, dude, 438 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: I mean, throwing one on ones against Revus was a 439 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: waste of time for us on offense, you know, it 440 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 1: was like you know, every once in a while Braylon 441 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: and Santonio would would do all right and there I 442 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: mean those guys would grind and battle every day and 443 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: one on one. So um, that's you get like feelings 444 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: of that, right, and you don't want to say anything 445 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: too soon, but this is at least it's going in 446 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: the right direction. The trajectory looks like, Okay, we're all 447 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: rowing in the same direction. A couple of guys that 448 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: they picked up, um, guys that I had been with 449 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: in Denver McGovern and uh Will Parks, Yes, and Will Parks, 450 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: I mean Will Parks is a tough dude man, Philly kid. Um. 451 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: I loved him in Denver. He was a stud as 452 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: a rookie. Make him plays and didn't say a whole 453 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: lot but just head down and can ball. And I 454 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 1: think that's what Joe Douglas is about, That's what coach 455 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: sal is about. We want football guys. We want guys 456 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: that can just straight up ball. They respect and care 457 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: about their teammates. They just want to win and they 458 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: want to practice. They'll do whatever it takes to win. 459 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: And it looks like that's what they're building. And once again, 460 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: as long as you connect withstand the external pressure and 461 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: the you know, this urgency like we have to be 462 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: good right now. And and if you can avoid judging 463 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: this team not just game to game, season to season, 464 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: but like drive to drive. You know, if they go 465 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: three and out like it's okay, you know, that doesn't 466 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: mean you're gonna lose every game. And if they score 467 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: an opening drive touchdown, that doesn't guarantee a super Bowl. 468 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: Just let the thing play out. And I think, um, 469 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: they've done a great job of coach Alla and coach 470 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 1: Douglas or Joe Douglas, of letting this thing marinate, let 471 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: this thing develop. You're gonna talk to Zeke Wilson. What 472 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: do you like about him? You know? I love I 473 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: love his mentality. I love that that he has no 474 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: problem cutting the thing loose, because I'd rather have a 475 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: quarterback where you have to say whoa and pull on 476 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: the reins a little bit, then like light a fire 477 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: under him and say come on, man, like go sick them, 478 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: you know. And so I'd rather have that and and 479 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,479 Speaker 1: teach him to play the game the right away and 480 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: take care of the ball and say uncle when it's 481 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: time to say uncle. But that's part of being a 482 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. And um, you know, people do the comparison 483 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: thing a lot, and I'm like you guys, that we're 484 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 1: comparing apples and oranges, not me and Zach, but the 485 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: team and and the the status of the team and 486 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: and team potential at the time we were drafted. These 487 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: guys there's a young team. I got drafted to a 488 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: veteran team. And there were times, I mean, my man, 489 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,880 Speaker 1: Mike West throws me under the pus the other day. 490 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, as a rookie quarterback, does the team have 491 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 1: to help win games in spite of the quarterback at times? 492 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: Hell yeah, that's part of being a rookie quarterback. And 493 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: that's okay. But as you learn, you start to become 494 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: the reason why you win some of these games. Like 495 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: we go in my second year Houston, Detroit and Cleveland 496 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: last play of the game three games in a row. 497 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: And not to say Mike West off special teams didn't 498 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: help us, Like when we beat Indianapolis and Crow takes 499 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: it back like sixty yards to give us to get 500 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: us close to field goal range. It all works together, 501 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: and so Zach was figuring it out last year and 502 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: you could tell it's it's almost like playing pick up 503 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: basketball a little bit, like you try and test out 504 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: what you can and can't get away with. And now 505 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: the second year, at least, he's got the same system, right, 506 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: He's got the same language that he's speaking, he's got 507 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: the same backups that are there that have been through 508 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: the fire with him. He got a chance to step 509 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: away and watch how Joe Flacco Mike White could conduct 510 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 1: themselves in the huddle, and I think he learned a 511 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: lot from that. So those are things I would ask him, 512 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: But I think he's on the right track when it 513 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: comes to like talent wise through the roof. Now it's 514 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: what does coach solids say? Neck up, dude, Just learn 515 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: how to play, learn when it's time to cut bait 516 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 1: and move on with your life and don't force it 517 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: on a third down kind of thing. Some of the 518 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: some of the things that are easy to say and 519 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 1: so easy to see from the outside, but as a 520 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: quarterback and a little bit of a gunslinger mentality, like 521 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: you want to make the play. You're so competitive that 522 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: you can make every play work. And that's not the 523 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: way this league works. And so he's starting to figure 524 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,959 Speaker 1: that out. And so, um, he's got the drive, he's 525 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: got the work ethic. Um, you know, he's getting his 526 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 1: guys together in the offseason, like all those kind of things. 527 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: Everything is showing. I'm seeing everything I need to see 528 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: for this to work out. If it works out, at 529 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: least he put in the right work, Like, at least 530 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,200 Speaker 1: he did all the prerequisition. At least plaid the groundwork 531 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: from a guy who played the position. Though, what do 532 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: you like most about that physical skill set? So here's 533 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: the thing. Plays are never over with him, right, even 534 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: when it's covered, it's not because he can move. He 535 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: can move way better than I ever dreamed of moving. 536 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 1: I wish I could roll out of bed on a 537 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: Sunday and move like Zach Wilson in a game, right, 538 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: because this kid can rush for like sixty rs if 539 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 1: you want to, Now, when is it time? When that play? 540 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: As that play extends and it gets longer and longer, 541 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: you've gotta get smarter. Your your i Q just has 542 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 1: to continue to grow as that four second play turns 543 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: into six, seven, eight, nine seconds? Well, what are you 544 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: doing with the football? What's the situation? How much time 545 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: has left? How many time outs do we Where are 546 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 1: we on the field, what's the real situation? How are 547 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: we playing? What are the rules right now? Is it 548 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 1: fourth down? And no matter what, we gotta get this 549 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: ball thrown. Okay, that's one thing. Or is it first down? 550 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: You're in your own territory and you're down to nothing, 551 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: Well that's another thing. Probably don't need to force it 552 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: and go down seventeen nothing by throwing a pick, you 553 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And so he's going to start 554 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: to register those things and and put him in a rolodex. 555 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: And that's what makes him so scary because as soon 556 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: as he figures it out there, I mean, then it's 557 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: just pick and choose your spots, dude. And now he's 558 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: like this prize fighter and whatever he wants, he knows 559 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: how to protect himself and just just deliver and knock 560 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: out blow. What do you think about? Did you have 561 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to him a little bit? He 562 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: can actually these guys Michael Carter is in the room 563 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: right now. Um, you know I would argue that he 564 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: is the perfect guy for a young team. I really 565 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: think so, and for a market like this, I think 566 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: he just keeps everything steady, right. He's like this a 567 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,400 Speaker 1: guy who preaches like this one voice mentality and just 568 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 1: trust what we have going on. There's gonna be a 569 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: lot of noise all of the place. Let's not add 570 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: to the noise, and let's just row the boat in 571 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: the same direction. And I think, you know, it looks 572 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 1: like the guys are really responding to that UM. But 573 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: he's a study. He's been a study everywhere he's went. 574 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean, the guys in sam frand we're still talking 575 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: about him. Last year. Jamiko Ryan's is their new head coach. 576 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: Him and I played together in UM in Philly and 577 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: he had nothing but just glowing remarks about the guy. 578 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: And he thinks he's gonna be great. What was your 579 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: most memorable UM stretch here? Nine or ten? UM? I 580 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: feel like nine was such a blur because as a rookie, 581 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: you're in that rookie bubble and you don't realize. I 582 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: feel like, I remember we went home, we lost to 583 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: Atlanta at home, and yes, and coming home, yeah, like 584 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: you start to make plans to go home, and I'm like, 585 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 1: where am I going to live? I don't have a 586 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: house at home, Like, I haven't even thought about any 587 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: of these things. So I'm starting to make a list 588 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: of all the crap I gotta get done. I'm probably 589 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: gonna get a knee surgery, like all this stuff that's 590 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: going on. Oh, I swear to god. I was like, 591 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: you know, and not checked out. But you start to 592 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: plan your life and figure out, Okay, we've gotta get 593 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 1: it going again next year. Let's get started the right way. 594 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: And the next thing we come into facilitia, Rex is like, man, 595 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: we're back in it. And I was like, looking at 596 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, Kevin O'Connell and Kevin clemments like what does 597 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: that mean? He's like, I think we're going to the playoffs. 598 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, okay, so now what you know? 599 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: And I was so green. Um, you know, I remember 600 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: I said this. I don't know if I've ever admitted this, 601 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: but I said I didn't know the divisions. I knew 602 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: our division obviously because of the teams we're gonna play, 603 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: but I didn't know like how it's broken down. So 604 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: I said, that'd be so crazy to play the Chargers 605 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, just like I grew up watched 606 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: the Super grew up watching the Chargers and LT and 607 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: all that. Ladania Thompson and Brunelle like Kevin O'Connor were like, 608 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: you idiot, come on, dude, we can't play the Chargers. 609 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: And I was like, why not? Are they not gonna 610 00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: make it? Or you dumbass, we're in the a f C. 611 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, right, right, okay, so explain 612 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: that again. So yeah, it was. It was a learning 613 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: experience to say the least. But that that run, plus 614 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 1: the next year, having my second year, I had my 615 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: second year in the NFL. Coming into the year, I 616 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: had never won a fourth quarter comeback, lost two in college, 617 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: lost two or three my rookie year, and that was 618 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: the first year. And then we went on that stretch, 619 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: that crazy stretch of the last second place and fourth 620 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 1: quarter comebacks, and we racked up like four or five 621 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: that year. And once we did it, it was just 622 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: like a confidence thing, like riding a bike, like you 623 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: knew how to handle the situation, Like oh, it wasn't 624 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: that hard, Like you can check the ball down, It's okay, 625 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: you know, you can throw the ball away. It's okay, 626 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: just don't take the sack because now you're running out 627 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: of time and we don't have time outs left. So 628 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 1: it was just learning how to manage those situations because 629 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 1: I hadn't been in a lot of those. Right at 630 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: SC we're up a lot, you know, we didn't have 631 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: to fight back in a lot of games, and so 632 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: I had to learn that on the fly here. UM. 633 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: So I think that stretch was awesome. UM playing at 634 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: home at San Diego, UM, for me was incredible. Other 635 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: than buying all those damn tickets, I don't think I 636 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: got paid from the team that week because I just 637 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: went straight to buying tickets for my family. UM. But yeah, 638 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean so many good memories. Um ten Indianapolis pet Man, 639 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 1: It's house, Tom Brady almost complete the magical run and pitch. 640 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: How how often you think about that? Um? You know, 641 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: the high end the low for sure, because we had 642 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 1: such a slow start to that game. That first quarter 643 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: seemed to go forever and we just didn't touch the ball, 644 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: and then um the sack fumble before halftime. I think 645 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: if everybody could go back, we might we might as 646 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: well just ran it, because I don't know what we 647 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: were trying to get out of that drive. I think 648 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: we just felt a little desperate and like we had 649 00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: to do something, you know, try and score a little bit, 650 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: kick a field goal something. But that gave him so 651 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: much momentum before the half. Um. But I mean, dude, 652 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,120 Speaker 1: we came back like game bust gangbusters in that second half, 653 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 1: and um, it felt like you run out of time, 654 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, when you leave everything on the field and 655 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: you're like so close. It didn't feel like you lose. 656 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: You feel like you run out of time, and um, 657 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: I gotta let you go on. But was that your 658 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 1: bust professional game in New England? Gilet the three touchdown 659 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: passes once again, slow first quarter other than Dave Harris's interception, 660 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: but then Mie, then we kind of blew the doors off. Yeah, 661 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: we had the misfield goal, that's right, Oh my gosh. Um, 662 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,280 Speaker 1: So it was like back and forth and both of 663 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: us were like kind of waiting for the other team 664 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: to screw up, and we both had a couple mishaps, 665 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 1: whether it was the field goal or Brady's interception on 666 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: the screen. I think, I mean, the guy didn't throw 667 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: picks and he threw on on a screen of all 668 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: plays and we were just like, whoa, what just happened? 669 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: Now we got a shot, and then I think I 670 00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: took a sack on first down, like knocked us even 671 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: far back, and so we couldn't get out of our 672 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: own way. And then finally in that second quarter, it 673 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 1: just started to click. It felt like things started to 674 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: go and slow motion. Jericho had that big catch over 675 00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: the middle and like a quick dump down and then 676 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: he just takes off down the sidelines. Braylon had a 677 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:19,000 Speaker 1: broken play Santonio's catch in the corner of the end zone. Um, 678 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: you know, Braylon had another one against like an all 679 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: out blitz on a quick slant, perfect hall by Shoddy, 680 00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: great job up front picking up the free rusher. Like 681 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 1: everything started to just fall into place, and uh, you know, 682 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: they became a little unsettled. We were finally in the 683 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: driver's seat. We one hitting points, we won field position, 684 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: we won the turnover battle. Like everything that Rex said 685 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: that week started to happen and we saw it, we 686 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: felt it, and there was just this energy on the 687 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: sidelines like, oh my god, this is the same team 688 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: that blew us out on Monday night earlier, and we 689 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: got him. We got him dead to rights, we scored 690 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: one more time and Sean Green runs for the for 691 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:03,160 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, so that was four and nobody's ever 692 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,959 Speaker 1: going to take that away from you. No, it was. 693 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,560 Speaker 1: It was a good run. I feel like we, um, 694 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 1: we really elevated our our level of play. There was 695 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 1: like this heightened sense of awareness in the playoffs and um, 696 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: this team really really came together. It was fun. Well 697 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: let's let's close here. Uh, since this is your first 698 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: time back in the facility, what has been a Jet 699 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: meant to you? And also your connection with New Yorkers 700 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 1: and Jets fans. I don't know what other kind of 701 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: experience I could have ever dreamt of at twenty two 702 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 1: years old. Um, to come in and learn about relationships, 703 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: the business side of football, learn a new playbook, meet 704 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,640 Speaker 1: the people I met, get exposed to the NFL. The 705 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: way I did it was I mean, it was just 706 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: other than winning a Super Bowl, I feel like we 707 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 1: did it all man. Just getting getting to that game 708 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: would have been it. You know, that was like the 709 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,479 Speaker 1: one thing that one ease of unfinished business. But other 710 00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 1: than that, it was I was well received by the fans, 711 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, I just I just enjoyed every 712 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: second of it.

It was an absolute blast. 714 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 1: I can't say I didn't have the best time in 715 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 1: my life. Well, don't be a stranger.
