00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: they're they're pit vipers, and I love them and they

22
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: fit my face, so I rock them. They're awesome. I think,

23
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: just just to point out to the podcast the Glasses,

24
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: if you're watching the Glasses, the backdrop everything today and

25
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: right now fits Phoenie to a t. I mean, yeah,

26
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: I guess we're in the equipment room. Said, I'm a

27
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: lunch pale type of guy, so no better place than

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: the equipment room. But no doubt. I mean, JJ got

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: the fancy couch and here we are. But well, JJ,

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm not upset, Joe. JJ is a good running back.

31
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: You are a grinder. There you go. That's a power.

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: So we got we got you in this beautiful backdrop.

33
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah it fits Phoenie. So the point of this, like

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: I mentioned in the intro, is we want to hear

35
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: your still from your perspective, and I want you to

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: take us all the way back to Illinois when you

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: first started playing ball, when you were a little kid. Well,

38
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: fun fact, I didn't start playing a ball to high school.

39
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: I started my freshman year. I was always I always

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: played a baseball growing up. So like twelve years of baseball.

41
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: My mom was always afraid I'd get hurt in football,

42
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: so she never let me play Pop Warner because I

43
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: was like, I was a huskier child, you know, if

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you can't tell. But I had to like play up

45
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: a couple levels. So every time I'd asked my mom

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 1: and be like, Noah, just stick with baseball, I'm like whatever.

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: So I got to high school and my grandma and

48
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: a couple of my friends were like, dude, you should

49
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: go up and play football. So they're like, you're six

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: to five, so eighty right now, you should probably go

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: smack somebody right now. Let's let's put it this way.

52
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: Dan just said he hasn't played high school. He hasn't

53
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: played football until he got to high school. Well, he

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: put a little perspective there for you. His junior year,

55
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: and I don't think I've ever heard of this. His

56
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: junior year, he was the most valuable player on his

57
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: team as an offensive guard also known as MB Damn, damn?

58
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: What is this? How does that happen? I don't know,

59
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: what do you mean? You don't know you played defense

60
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: and you played offense? Yeah, man, I mean usually in

61
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: high school it's like the best kids kind of like

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: the most leaderships. I guess I was just trying to

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: lead the team, trying to help everybody, you know, like

64
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: bring their game up and stuff. So I don't know,

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: I was just kind of the biggest guy, and I

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: was like, all right, he can that's him. I guess

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: we'll give us a little perspective. Was your quarterback ninety good?

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Was your running back getting like no yard? What are

69
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: we doing here? Crapping on my guys like that? But

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: uh no, I mean I think we just had a

71
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: tight knit group, and I think there was a couple

72
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: of guys that were like going like they knew they

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: were gonna like play on and college and stuff like that.

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: And I guess a lot of my teammates thought I

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: was so I don't know, I just took the role.

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, starting football like or like later.

77
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: I guess kind of helped in that aspect. I was

78
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: always like, yeah, I mean I was always like a

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 1: leader on baseball because I was like the first baseman

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, like making baseball calls, which is

81
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: not even close to the amount of football calls you

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: can make. But uh, bads wouldn't know. But yeah, you're

83
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: a hockey guy. Sure, but so I want to know

84
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: that it's Scofield. So for the listeners, Michael Scofield played

85
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: with Dan Feenie in high school. Kind of a fun fact.

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Did Scofield puts you on? Was he part of the

87
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: reason that you were the MVP? Maybe? I don't know.

88
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 1: He was a senior right with so when I was

89
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a freshman, he was a senior, so we're four years

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: in way off. Yeah, so I never played with him

91
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: because we had a freshman. We had like four thousand

92
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: kids on our school, so like there was really no

93
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: reason to like jump up. Yeah, so that even adds

94
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: more value to being the MVP of your team, the

95
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: fact that there was four thousand people at your school,

96
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: which means it's a big high school football team and

97
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: you're the one, and you're winning MVP. I mean, stop

98
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: pumping my tires here. I don't know how I mean.

99
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: It's it's a fun factor for an old lineman when

100
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: you bring old lineman in and it's like, all right,

101
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: he was MVP of his uh of his high school

102
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: football team his junior year. It's like, all right, you

103
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: must have been a beast. But I gotta ask you

104
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: about this. According to Wiki, Phoene was a one year

105
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: letterman in volleyball. It doesn't make much sense, No, it doesn't, man,

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, so after football season, I uh was

107
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: it a joke? First off? No, I actually did play

108
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: volleyball for a year. Swear swear. No, that's a that's

109
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: a true fact right there, true fact about Dan Phoenie.

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: But uh so after my first year playing football, like

111
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: in the off season, I was like, you know what,

112
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: I want to try out for baseball beause I played

113
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: baseball my whole life. Football is kind of just a

114
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: like a side piece at that moment, you know what

115
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean. I was just like I was just you know,

116
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: I was just like kind of new to it, you

117
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I was like, baseball is

118
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: still kind of my focus. So I tried out for

119
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: the team. Uh didn't make it, And no, kind of

120
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: got into weightlifting, packed on a couple of LB's and yeah,

121
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: right back to football man. So and then so your

122
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: MVP your senior year, you were obviously stud You're getting

123
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: these offers as you go through your high school career.

124
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: What did the recruiting process look like? You ended up

125
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: going to IU obviously, but what did it look like? Uh?

126
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: So I committed kind of early. I committed like end

127
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: of my junior year, like right after the season or

128
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: something like that, because I wasn't really getting looked at

129
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: by a lot of guys. Uh Illinois you have, uh

130
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: I you were like my two biggest ones, and then

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: a couple other like Little Michigan, Yeah, Western Michigan's and

132
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: stuff like that, and uh like a couple other big

133
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: times wanted me like walk on and stuff like that.

134
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what you likes me? Uh?

135
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I like the coaching staff that like they kind of

136
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: have brought. I like their culture that they're you know,

137
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: want to install. So I was like, you know, I

138
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: think this is the spot. Took a couple of trips

139
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: down there and felt like home. You were like you

140
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: were like, let me be a Hoosier. That's why Hoosier.

141
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't understand why these teams wanted you to walk on.

142
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: I feel like you were a beast in high school,

143
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: especially since you won MVP. We're kind of gassing that up,

144
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: but walk on. I'm seeing you. We can stop saying

145
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: MVP now. It's it matters. It matters. It's crucialized. It's

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: crucial says that. He says that, but we could walk

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: into like his house from back home and he's got

148
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: the thing just in an enshrinement MVP. Yeah, girlfriend, letters

149
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: on the wall. Yeah all right, But what was that

150
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: frustrating when teams are like, hey, come here and walk on.

151
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean I kind of took it as like a

152
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder, you know what I mean, And

153
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I can be better than this,

154
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to go there and prove people wrong.

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: It seems like you did. So you go to IU

156
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: because you had the Hoosier you had the Hoosier blood

157
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: in you. And yes, sir. And according to Wiki again,

158
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: it says Phoene set records his freshman year in twenty

159
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: and twelve by starting all twelve games, earned honorable mention

160
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: in the All Ten Big Big Honors at right guard.

161
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: And you only gave up one sack all season. Now,

162
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: my math could be off on this, but that was

163
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: only your fifth year of playing football. Correct, This is correct.

164
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: He gave up one sack. Though we're people, uh, we're

165
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 1: people lining up against you. I'm sure they were like,

166
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: all right, this dude's not giving up anything. Uh yeah,

167
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: it was actually kind of weird. It was me and

168
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: Jason's fricks. He was the other, uh younger player to start.

169
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: He started at left tackle. I started at right guard,

170
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: and we actually we're gonna start next to each other.

171
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: But the coaches were like, yeah, two freshmen, you're gonna

172
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of get blitz like every single place. Let's let's

173
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: spread it out. And it was funny. It was like

174
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: the week before and they're like, damn all moved to

175
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: right guards. I was like, all right, cool, what are

176
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: you gonna do? You know? But uh yeah, that's so yeah. Man, wow,

177
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: I just can't believe you gave up one sack all season. Um,

178
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: that's like it's pretty crazy. One sack. And then your

179
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: name's a freshman All American? So did you when you

180
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: went back home for Christmas or Thanksgiving? You're like, dam

181
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: an American. You're walking around and they know he's a

182
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: former junior year MVP, so they're like, MVP, one sack

183
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: All Americans and then you, you, asad will not let

184
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: the junior bro Can we okay, listen, can we agree

185
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: that an offensive guard winning MVP should not happen on

186
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: a high school football team should not happen. You must

187
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: have been dis ragging people as well as I was

188
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: a left tackle. First off, let's get that out of

189
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: the way. Oh how was the left tackle? So wick

190
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: you correct on? So you were checking every play, you

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: were getting the ref let it number sixty six is

192
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: now an eligible receiver? Yeah, I was seventy seven back then, listen,

193
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: Foeni wasn't going out for rounds. There was actually a

194
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: package where I would actually get the ball and run it.

195
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Jumbo package, big jumbo fie. It was literally me full

196
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: back and then our huge D lineman in the backfield.

197
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: It was terrifying. But we only ran it like two times. Well,

198
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: I didn't get the ball at all. I was like

199
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: not really want to score a touchdown? Noted, that's not

200
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: how you got MVP. Yeah, no doubt. It was Michael Scofield.

201
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: So back, So back to your college career. You had,

202
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: you had, You had a great freshman year. You're on

203
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: top of the world, freshman All American, not bad. You

204
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: go into next season. It happened in the summer or

205
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: fall you hurt your foot. Yeah, it was the fall

206
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: right before we started. So it was it was camp,

207
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: little goal line play and you know, it was just

208
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: absolute carnage in there. My foot got caught and went

209
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: inside like that and smoked diligma. There's the scars. If

210
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: you want to see, this is good. This is great,

211
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: This is this is great. This is a great radio

212
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: for the people listening because they can see everything. I

213
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: gotta beautiful face for radio boys. But take take me

214
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: through that year. I mean, being out a whole season.

215
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: What is that like? I can't I can't relate. I'm

216
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: just I just run me through that process. It's awful.

217
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: It's the worst thing ever when you're hurt because it's

218
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: like there's nothing. You feel like there's nothing you can

219
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: do to like help your team win, you know what

220
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean. And it's, uh, you just kind of feel

221
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: like you're helplessen you know. And at the and at

222
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: the same time, you're probably trying to you know, you're

223
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: getting through rehab, you're going to the training room every day,

224
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: you're trying to get better. And yeah, everything built on

225
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: top of that. You gotta build up, you know, mentally,

226
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, and it well, it just it says

227
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: a lot about an old lineman. His response, Your first

228
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: thought is I can't do anything. To help the team.

229
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: And that's such an old lineman mindset because as a

230
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: d lineman, I want to help the team. If I

231
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: get hurt, I'm like, dang, I can't play. I want

232
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: to get out and you know, get after a quarterback

233
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: whatever it may be. It's just interesting that you go,

234
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, I can't help the team. What a beast

235
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: two different ways. Cat No. I love it though, and

236
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: and we're gonna We're gonna move forward through this because

237
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: Badge has some questions about the old line rottery. But

238
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: you you pretty much went the rest of your college

239
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: career and dominated. I mean, it seems like there were

240
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: no slip ups. Um your Your old line was named

241
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: as the Big Ten's most underrated position group, no doubt,

242
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: no doubt. Do you feel like that some boys back

243
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: in the day, You feel like that was the old

244
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder and motivated you guys one hundred percent. Man.

245
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: We were we were a little uh spread, no huddle.

246
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: So we were pumping out like ninety plays a game,

247
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: and our mentality it was just like we're gonna physically

248
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: beat people down. Oh my god, just you know, like

249
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: just pump out plays and it's like, hey, we're gonna

250
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: get smacked a couple of times, but we're also gonna

251
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: smack them more. So. Yeah, when you came back to

252
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: the squad, you guys were setting records. I mean you

253
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: went for thirty two hundred rushing yards and right around

254
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: twenty one hundred passing yards. And that helps that the

255
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: people that were rushing are also in the league. Coleman. Wow.

256
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: Um Yeah, But that's crazy though, that that you guys

257
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: were just slept on like that. Dad doesn't understand this

258
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: because he's a kicker. But ninety plays again, is ninety

259
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: plays a game as a D lineman is horrible? Now

260
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: out in always Man, there'd be drives where we literally

261
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: see three different D lines and we're like, wow, y'all

262
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: are fresh, and we boys are hurting and boys are

263
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: hurting well either way. In college we were in the fire.

264
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. We were like, I had games where I

265
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: had ninety plus plays. But I'm just saying, listen, it's brutal. Listen,

266
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Dan can agree with me. No one cares about Notre

267
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: Dame football. Just roasted for the listeners. You're saying this

268
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: because I just got on you about being a kicker. Well, yeah,

269
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: don't come at me about my position. First off, I

270
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: already had a couple of Notre Dame arguments today alone.

271
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: But we're here, all the Notre Dame guys, we're getting sensitive.

272
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: We're here. We're here for the Hoosier, Dan feene Wan,

273
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: I here to talk about you and Notre Dame to

274
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: flip the script and start interview. You got any questions? Um,

275
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: so dominated you had to make a decision about coming

276
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: back for your senior year the old line, and you said,

277
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: stay and help the team, Let's see what we can

278
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: do in the big ten. What was what was going

279
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: into that decision? Oh, you know, a little bit of everything.

280
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I asked my family, you know what they think, and

281
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: they said pretty much. You think you're ready to get

282
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: to the NFL, And said, I think so, yeah, And

283
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: they're like, well, why don't you go? I'm like, it

284
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like at the right time, you know

285
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: what I mean? Deep down, it just didn't feel right,

286
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: didn't I don't know. I just felt like I had

287
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: to come back and prove a little bit more, get

288
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: my great up a little But as you did. Now,

296
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: but we came in together as you know, freshmen, and

297
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,880

304
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: it again. Yeah, let's roll with it. Man. It truly

305
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: is no brotherhood like offensive Lineman, no doubt. So you

306
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: come back, good old offensive not o man. So you

307
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: come back, your goal is to you said up your grades,

308
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: spends more time with your with your teammates at I.

309
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: You see what you can do in the big ten.

310
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: It worked out for you because when you were going

311
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: into the draft. I mean, it says best in tior

312
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Dan Feeney went to the Senior Bowl. That's

313
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: where I met you. Boom, Um, you went to the

314
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: combine and then you ended up getting drafted high. What

315
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: was that process? Like? Just the draft? Pre draft now bow?

316
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: Now when he says drafted high, Dan went third round

317
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: seventy first overall, you guys feed really good off each

318
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: other like this. It feels really good first time. I

319
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to get out there. I love it. I

320
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: was like, wow, I feel like I like double interviewed

321
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: right now because you guys just play off each other.

322
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 1: Mike and Nikes, you know what I mean? That's well,

323
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: you know the name of the show is Mike and Ike,

324
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: not the candy. I'm joking. So I totally forgot the question. Okay, okay,

325
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: the pre draft, Senior Bowl, meeting Isaac, all that process, Well,

326
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: meeting Isaac was definitely the highlight, no doubt. Yeah, so

327
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: you go, you go, you go third round. Yeah, with

328
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: the career you had in Big ten football, it's no joke. Um,

329
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: is there a little bit of a chip on your

330
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: shoulder for going third round? Or you you fired up

331
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: about being a third round pick. Some guys have a

332
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: different take on it. Yeah, it's it's kind of mixed feelings,

333
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because you know, selfishly, you're like,

334
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: you want to be like, dang, I want to be

335
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: the best, you know what I mean. You want to

336
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: be like yeah, I mean, it doesn't happen too often

337
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: with guards. I want to be like first round, you

338
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So it's like get out of here.

339
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's like, wow, man, I've

340
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: I've worked really hard for this, and you know it

341
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: kind of came into light and that had happened. You know,

342
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: we got drafted to Los Angeles and fast for a

343
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: couple of years. Here we are doing this podcast. Here

344
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: we are. I remember, just real quick, I remember watching

345
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: the draft. I went seventh round. I was stressed the

346
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: whole time. Doesn't come on, come on, but I remember

347
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: watching it. I can totally imagine. Man. I remember watching

348
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: seeing Dan Poenie get drafted as are crying about getting

349
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: drafted over here because we had this happens every time.

350
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: Every time he's complaining. So I remember seeing you, I mean,

351
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: he's he's okay. I remember seeing uh, the Chargers draft

352
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: Dan Poenie, and I remember thinking, I'm excited for you

353
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: because I met your family. I had went against you

354
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: a bunch at the Senior Bowl, and I thought you

355
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 1: were a great player. Is random? Dude had a EU

356
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: and I was hyped for you. This you got drafted

357

Speaker 1: third round. You didn't even know it, but you had

358
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: good energy coming from mine of the world. And you

359
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: weren't even wearing the Vipers or having the mustache back then,

360
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,639

00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: presented by your Southern California Toyota dealers. All Right, a

380
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: quick question for you, and then I'm gonna let him

381
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: ask what the line? Rotter, Feoenie, do you consider yourself

382
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: somebody that eats out a line that goes out to

383
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: dinner and stuff like that, dinner, everything anything. I try

384
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: not to. I actually enjoy cooking, but I hate grocery shopping.

385
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's tough. So you hit the

386
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: occasional fast food spot, no doubt, no doubt. So if

387
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: you had to give me your top fast food meal deal,

388
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: what would it be? Where are you going and what

389
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: would it be? Example four for four from Wendy's Dollar

390
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: Menu from McDonald Four is not enough for man? Okay,

391
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: this is good? Four to four? That will not suffice.

392
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: My girlfriend Emily gets four for four and she lin

393
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: can barely finish all the chicken nuggets. That's a lot

394
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: sheets all the chicken nuggets. All right, phoeney, we need

395
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: an answer. Uh, I don't know. I think Chick fil

396
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: a is hard to beat. Man. They don't have a

397
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: meal deal though they're not even open like meal. I thought,

398
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: first off, meal deal. You got five bucks in your

399
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: pocket and you are starving. Oh man, that's tough. What's up,

400
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: leasy easy? He's our strength. Coach just walked in. Okay,

401
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: man to give us a little get your mind, get

402
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: your mind right, scary, get a doll? Okay, what's it

403
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: gonna be? Man? I loved the double quarter pounder from McDonald's.

404
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: There it is Mickeyde's baby. It's good, but it's like

405
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm cheating it because I love Chick

406
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: fil a too though, and I haven't been to McDonald's forever.

407
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: All right. Conclusion is P's meal deal is one. This

408
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: is too much of a tough question because I just

409
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't get a meal like I got a couple

410
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: of meals. Spoken like a true lineman. Go ahead, badge, Yeah,

411
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: put anything in front of him band Willie. So you know,

412
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: offensive line. I've always been extremely fascinated by just the whole,

413
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: the whole licientist nah but at all. But I'm serious

414
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: and I have my locker's right in with you guys,

415
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: and it's the best thing ever. Uh but you know,

416
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: kind of kind of explained to these people what kind

417
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: of brotherhood you not only have to create, but you know,

418
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: just you know what you guys have to do to

419
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: become a true family because without an offensive line, the

420
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: team's not any good. I mean that's just my thing.

421
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: The old line has always been the heart of the team,

422
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: and without a good one, the whole core of the

423
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: team is not gonna be any good. Wow, I mean

424
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: you summed it up. I mean, yeah, it's a deep question.

425
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: But explain how you know? You can't you walk into

426
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: a situation you're drafted your third round pick, you know

427
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 1: you walk into an offensive line? How did how did you?

428
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: How did you feel when you got to you gotta

429
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: become part of the unit. It's awesome, man, It's awesome

430
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,199
Speaker 1: when you because old line is is different from every position,

431
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, there's five of us on

432
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: the field at all times like d Line can be

433
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: like the closest because they got like four. But it's

434
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: it's different from Olne because we're always doing like combos

435
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 1: with people and it's like you gotta know how they move,

436
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: you know. It's so it's so hard to put into

437
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: words because it's like you just kind of gotta be

438
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: around them. You gotta know how to communicate with your

439
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: tackle in your center. Do you think a lot of

440
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: that has to do with what goes on off the field,

441
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: because in our experience, I know Badge will will agree

442
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: with me old lineman like are always together and other

443
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: positions are like why are these dudes always together? It's

444
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: kind of getting old, but you understand it. We're packing

445
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: animalst for sure, and you think it matters, no doubt, man,

446
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: no doubt. I mean a lot of times we'll just

447
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: go to like Chick fil A after this crush couple

448
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: chicken sandwiches or whatever. You'll deal. But I mean it's

449
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: never just like one or two guys. It's always like

450
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: five or six, and it's just like I don't know,

451
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: like our online group chat, like we invite someone and

452
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: it's like all right, everybody will join untide that it's

453
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: just how like I feel like most of the lines

454
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: are like that, you know what I mean, you always

455
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: kind of have to be a unit no matter what

456
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: you do. Do you think it Do you think it

457
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: has to do with just having like a common understanding

458
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: that you guys have the uncommon job. You guys are

459
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: out there, you guys score, they're not going Dan phoene

460
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: with the touchdown. Do you think it has to do

461
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: with that? Because for us it's confusing. We're like, yeah,

462
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: always together. Yeah, you know, it's it's just like one

463
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: of those grindy jobs, you know what I mean. Oh,

464
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: we love it, well, we love doing And the way

465
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: Dan puts it is like when they don't say touchdown,

466
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: Dan Peoeney, he just like, well, I was MVP junior years.

467
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: I gotta start burning the papers are great. No, but

468
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: it is one of those things like when Accler scores

469
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown or Phil throws a dime to Keenan or

470
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: something like that. You know, it's like I helped and

471
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: that's good enough for me. Man. Yeah, I think it definitely.

472
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: I think it definitely takes all you guys. But I

473
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: mean we were talking about it before we interviewed it

474
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: before we interviewed you. You're not in it before we

475
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: interviewed it, but it is. It is so fascinating. I mean,

476
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: like you and Pouncey come in here every day at

477
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: what time, likevety five, he's in here like five thirty

478
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: ever rolling in like five forty five, and you guys

479
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: are side by side on the field, and then you're

480
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: always hanging out lifting together. How much does what you

481
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: guys do off the field in the weight room and

482
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: spending time and there have to do with how you

483
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: play man. It's just like knowing how to communicate with them,

484
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. That's that's like one of

485
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: the things. But just being around being around guys and

486
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: you know, knowing that they can trust you, you you know,

487
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: and you can trust them, and it's it's so weird

488
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: because it's like an unwritten bond, you know what I mean.

489
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: You just kind of gotta be around and be around

490
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: the guys and you know, want to get better type deal.

491
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: Like me and pounce don't have to come in at

492
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: five thirty, like there's no reason to, Like there's another

493
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: lift group later in the day, but we just do

494
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: it because well pounds he comes in because he's old.

495
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 1: He's got to stretch out, man, But uh, I commn

496
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: because he does it. So I'm like, you know, let

497
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: let me tag along. Let me see if I can

498
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: learn something from him, you know what I mean. Him

499
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: being he's a leader. Obviously he's been on you know,

500
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: Miami and here, and you know, he's been to a

501
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: couple of Pro Bowls, and obviously I want to you know,

502
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: be a Pro Bowl, all pro whatever, you know, back

503
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: down the road. So I just want to like get

504
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 1: as much information I can from him. I mean, he's

505
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: a beast, and I feel like he's a guy who's

506
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: super easy to learn from. And you know the thing

507
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 1: is he you know, he loves giving craft to everybody.

508
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: You know, Oh my gosh, he got always he's always

509
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,360
Speaker 1: on somebody. But you know that that means he likes you,

510
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: you know what I mean that like he's testing you.

511
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: He's saying, if you can handle the fire, yeah, you know,

512
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: and if you can, he's like, okay, I know'll kind

513
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: of just point is gay somewhere else, you know what

514
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, Which, which, by the way, Mike Pounce,

515
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: he's been trying to get on this podcast for the

516
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: past three weeks just so the viewers. I heard he

517
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: had to pay to get on. Yeah, We're like, listen

518
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: your money bags, pounds, you're paying and get on the

519
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: podcast like hate mil Oh. I mean, gee, at least

520
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: Hate Conscious a big, big podcast. Baby. Do you do

521
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: you look at somebody like Pounce? And again this is

522
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: about you, Fanny, not Pounds, But do you look at

523
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: somebody like Pounce? And that's kind of what you want

524
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: to be when you're a nine year vet, no doubt.

525
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to mirror exactly what he wants,

526
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: but you can kind of learn from everybody. Like I

527
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: had Sloss him when I first came in here, and

528
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: he's a huge dude, like three fortun Yeah, he's like

529
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: a huge offensive guard. So I tried to learn some

530
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: of his techniques and I'm like, dude, I can't do

531
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: the things you do. You're just a way bigger dude

532
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: than me. You can't. I can't move people the same

533
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: way you do it. So I have to find my

534
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: way how to, you know, approach blocks differently? And Pounce

535
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: is kind of like the polar opposite. He's like a

536
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: two nineties center, so he's always been a lighter guy. Yeah,

537
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: so I guess I take a little bit more from

538
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: that because I'm also a lighter guard, so I gotta

539
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: find ways how to approach blocks, you know, how to

540
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: do some savvy old line stuff and you know, get

541
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: it done. Yeah. I was also curious, And it's funny

542
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: you brought up the lighter O line thing when I

543
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: was thinking about this interview. Do you think because you're

544
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: you would consider yourself a lighter guy, Pounce is a

545
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: lighter guy. Do you think that the football game in

546
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: the O line position is going towards a quicker, lighter

547
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: O line man because it seems like that's what it

548
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: looks like on paper. It really depends on like the scheme,

549
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: because some teams are old school. They'll be like, all right,

550
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: we're running downhill, we're running power, and it's like we

551
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: needs yeah, you need big boys or else it ain't

552
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: gonna work. And like our offense, we we can spread

553
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: it out. We can run downhill at you, We can

554
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: attack you in so many ways that you kind of

555
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 1: have to well you don't have to be, but it helps,

556
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: you know. For like some of our speech, Sweeves tosses stuff.

557
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be able to move. Yeah, you gotta be mobile,

558
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: agile and hostile. Oh my gosh, oh here we go.

559
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: All right, I got I got a nice heart hidden

560
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: question here. Okay, guy like Isaac Rochelle, listen, don't bring

561

Speaker 1: me into that. He he lines up across from you.

562
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 1: He's boys quivering. What are you thinking? What is your move?

563
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: What are you what are you expecting him to do?

564
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: I know what Phenie's gonna say, brush right through the

565
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: chi Okay, so you know, okay, So Isaac lined up,

566
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: you know what he's doing. A guy like me comes

567
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: down the line. Just don't a guy like me help yourself?

568
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,320

571
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm watering at the mouth. I mean, you're like, I'm like,

572
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: this is gonna be highlight play. It has to be.

573
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: If it's not a highlight play, I'm getting cracked from

574
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: the whole line now. I can't even imagine you in

575
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: a stance like at a three text. I've seen it.

576
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 1: He lined up the other day out there and right

577
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: before practice. Not bad. He's like, hey, damn, what would

578
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: you do if it's actually hilarious. I can't even imagine

579
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: him next to Joe. It's like Joey jj bain Badge, Like,

580
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: all right, get this dude, big baby bay you Now.

581
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: I kind of wanted to end this podcast as talking

582
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: about Dan's golf game, but he can only hit his

583
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: five iron about of buck twenty. So we won't hurt.

584
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 1: So we won't even talk us stuff. We won't even

585
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: talk about it. You're really gonna do me like that

586
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: on this podcast? You feel better about yourself? No do you?

587
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,600

588
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: that you've told me. Now, I don't know if you're

589
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: comfortable telling this story, but I think it might have

590
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: been the start of when you're like, yeah, I should

591
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: be a football player. I think I know as you're

592
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: talking about. I think you're right around fourth grade when

593
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: I got hit by the car. Oh my gosh, you

594
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: told me you got hit by a car. Like, no way,

595
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: you got hit by a car. All right, finish, finish,

596
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: and finish us off with that story. I think the

597
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: viewers would love this. All right, So fourth grade Dan

598
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 1: shooting basketball right in the front yard. We're we're pouring

599
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: some concrete in the back of the house. So we

600
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: have a bunch of trucks like lined up like right

601
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: outside of our house. So it's like kind of blocking

602
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: the street. And I see like a bunch of kids

603
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: from the neighborhood. They're playing across the street on like

604
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,040
