I would have plulled the double team 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.000 off him. We could have made beautiful music. He got 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.720 some easy on too, so they let me know he 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.160 following on that hand.

Guest segment here 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.280 on Inside the Jets is presented by M ANDT Bank, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.000 the official community bank of your New York Jets. Mike, 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.320 let's go inside the facility here across the street today. 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.800 What was the message you guys were getting from the 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:40.400 Todd Bowls as the season second half really started, because 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.840 you're eight games through the two thousand and seventeen campaign. Yeah, 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.360 I mean, you know, we just we have everything still 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:47.960 in front of us. You know, we took a couple 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.280 of losses these past couple of weeks, but you know, 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:52.440 put the last game behind us, and we're on the 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.919 Buffalo and we know that we still control on the future. 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.320 Got two division games left, we need those. You know, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.760 every game in the NFL to must win. How to 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.519 have a months when mid set, But there's a little 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.720 electric pressure on Le's not I think we're gonna pull through. Now. 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.520 Do you like short week? You know, because you can 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.360 forget about the loss, but also you can get right 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.760 back to the business of football and understanding on the 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.519 other side of that you have a mini buy where 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.080 you and your lady can go on vacation. It's more 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.760 that cheese. I mean, of course, Um, you know, just 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.600 getting right back to it in the pressure of the week, 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.079 and you know you miss out on one of those 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.000 padded practices when you get a short week, So you 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.560 know that's always loved on the body. But you know 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:27.160 it's always good to get right back to and to 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.320 know that you have an opportunity just a few days away. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.679 All right, So we're bringing in though it's the preparation 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.600 with the Thursday game. Everything's condensed because you basically have 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.440 two work days. Then there's a walkthrough on Wednesday, and 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.440 all of a sudden you're out there Thursday night playing 0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:44.000 against the Buffalo Bill. So what did you guys do 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:47.120 today as far as game plan is concerned, Um, watch 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:48.840 a lot of tape, you know, went over the scheme, 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.760 what we're gonna do. You know, walk through had a 0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.840 really long walk through. Everybody gotta work out. You know, 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.560 everybody talked about the last game, but the coaches didn't 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.320 really bring it up too much. It's wanted to get 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.160 it washed and get on the buffalo. I mean it 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.240 should be a benefit, right because you played this football 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.680 team early in the season, so you're familiar with them. 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:05.720 You you, you guys have changed a little bit, and 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.520 I'm sure they have. But speak to everybody that's out 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.280 there listening about the importance. How do you get your 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.720 body to bounce back? Because are you a Monday sore 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.920 guy or you're a Tuesday sore guy. I'm more of 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.480 a Monday short guy. But you know you know how 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.000 it is. Um, you gotta get in the cold toup. 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.640 You gotta get your massages together. If um, there's more 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.480 of an emphasis this week on getting in the training 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.680 room if something's not right, get all the elements fixed 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.160 so you can be ready on Thursday. How do you 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.799 get into the cold top You jump in or someone 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:31.880 leg at a time. Um, I actually jump in. I 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:33.680 do full body that I put half my body in. 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.840 It's better to get it over with quick. Now you're 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.600 reading something intellectual? Are you? Are you never mind. I'm 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.240 sorry you girls here, what do you read? What are 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:44.520 you reading? So you people don't understand? You know, you 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.279 gotta you gotta, you gotta like blank out to be 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.440 able to sit in water that's thirty four to thirty 0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:51.440 five degrees. How do how do you how do you 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.120 get your mindset where you where you forgetting you go numb? Well, usually, 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.080 you know, through my work day, you know, we work, 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:59.040 you know, six or seven hours the day. I'm usually 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.120 texting or FaceTime of my girl to get through that, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.359 you know, because that's the things I gotta attend to. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:08.080 So you know, you know how it goes. But just 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:09.800 just do that blanket out and just get through the 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.200 coldto something that's needed to be done and extend some 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.320 guy's careers. And if you got elements to get rid 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:15.760 of it, it's like a miracle care of the cold. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.320 Very simply for what does this Jets team have to 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.960 do now to get over the hump? You're in Each 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:26.440 and every ball game over the past six contests, you 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.080 either had the lead at halftime you're tied, and four 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.760 of those games you've had the advantage at halftime. I mean, 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.080 you know the word and Robber Rock room is just 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.680 we we just have to finish, you know, Manion times 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.560 in these games, we've proven that we can play with 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:41.320 somebody for thirty minutes, we gotta play with them for 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.120 sixty minutes. So there's not really one glaring thing that 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.920 we need to fix. Just everybody just needs to finish 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.239 and keep the same intensity. Because we're starting out fast. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:51.960 We just have to keep the same intensity through sixty minutes. Now, Now, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.920 it is it hard to stay relatively aggressive when you 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.160 do have that league going into the fourth quarter knowing 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.159 that you know, you don't want to give up the 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.040 big play, and something times you give up the big 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.600 play because you don't want to give up the big play. Yeah, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:06.280 I mean, I know the mentality for a defensive line. 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.960 We always want to be aggressive in an attack, and 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.760 you know everybody is trying to lick their chops and 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:12.520 get to the third down. But you know, um, I 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:15.800 wouldn't necessarily say it's hard to keep an aggressive mindset. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.560 We just want to stay consistent how we start fast, 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:20.720 and you know it's not like the play calls are changing. 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.400 We just have to keep and stay steadfast as we 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.640 do in the first thirty minutes at the next thirty minutes. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.479 But I know you played for Green Bay, so you're 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.880 you're no stranger the weather. But yesterday it was a 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.640 unique day with the wing gust and the weather. I 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.559 don't know what the temperature was because I was watching 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:39.640 it from the comfort of my own my sofa. Uh 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.560 probably you know, you know early on you saw turnovers 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:46.560 happening with Matt Ryan in the center quarterback exchange. You know, 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.080 how did that the elements affect the game plan? You 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.080 think offensively and how did it change your you guys 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.920 mindset as far as trying to get the ball out 0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.960 and try and strip the ball. I think for both teams, 0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.080 Atlanta and US, you know, you couldn't really do too 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:01.679 much with the deep ball. We knew they were gonna 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.719 come and try to establish the run. We did a 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:05.600 good job of bottling that up. There's a few places 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.640 we wish we could have back, but um, the elements, man, 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.560 the rain, we knew there was gonna be some fumbles. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.000 Were just trying to recover those as many times we could. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.120 But throughout the week, you know, oftensive guys practicing with 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.360 wet balls, kickers kicking wet ball. So it's just you know, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.240 just trying to plan for that. It was great to 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:25.080 see Jordan Jenkins, who recently visited us right here on 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.400 inside the Jets come up with the fumble recovery. Anytime 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.640 somebody coughs here, something's good, something good, it's going to 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:36.080 happen to you. Thursday night against the Buffalo Bells, Jamal 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.760 Adams also had a fumble recovery. May pick one off, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.200 you know, yeah, good things are happening. Set to get 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:47.360 some of that good sack something, let me whatever juju 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:49.800 I need to get well. Inside the Jets is supported 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.840 by selective insurance responses everything, So you're gonna have a 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:55.720 good response Thursday night. And it's such a pro man. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:58.640 That was seamless. Man, I'm just trying to learn. I 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.480 threw the drop and do that in there. I'm not 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.680 worthy your response, your response to a new team here 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.840 and Mike, Uh, what's it been like getting acclimated with 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.160 your new surroundings and what's the environment like in that 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.280 locker room right now? As you guys have endured a 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:21.400 rough patch. But I think Josh McCown described it perfectly 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.960 in the post game locker room last night. He said, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.360 we're frustrated, but not discouraged. Um, I just think, you know, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.840 coming from Green Bay, you know it's a great locker room. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.920 They're coming here. You know, you didn't really know what 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.800 to expect. But I was actually surprised that everybody, even 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.240 with new players. I was one of many new players 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.880 that have the first year here. Um, we're all together. 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.800 Everybody has the same goal. Our rookies came in, they 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.280 worked hard, there were no egos. Everybody just has the 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.000 same focus and the same goal. So we went together, 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.360 and we lose together. And Um, like Josh and saying 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.480 staying to everybody's frustration, it is just we all know 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.800 that we could play with anybody we want to. We 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.120 just have to finish. And it's just hard that it's 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.000 not really like one thing like, oh we need to 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.200 do this in this situation, we gotta do that. It's 0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:06.080 just we have to finish. So I think that's what 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.560 everybody's just trying to figure out right now, is how 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.360 we can consistently play for sixty minutes, how we play 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.199 in the first half. So what do you like better 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:17.320 Lombardies or Rue Chris or the one Applebee's in Green 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.560 Bay or all the many restaurants we have here in 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:26.240 the New York Man. But why do we got to 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:28.480 go after the poor people of green But but I 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:30.599 must say, I mean there's a great pizza or the 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.760 cheese curds that you have in Green Bay? Which one pick? 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.920 The cheese curds are good. But I do like all 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:37.360 the options that you have in New York. You go 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.560 to the city and get whatever you want. Do you 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:42.800 go out with the defensive lines and sometimes and who 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.600 picks up the tab? Um? I mean we have our 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.320 D line dinners and you know the tab goes around. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:51.000 We all, you know, we all pick up each other. 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.680 You guys play a credit card roulette. Nobody likes to 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.880 do that. It's always designated and I'm just like, no, no, 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.319 that's the And it's very difficult for people entering the 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.679 National Football League. They're not making big time celleries and 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.200 you guys, but it's fun. It's fun if you don't 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.360 if you don't lose. Dr card hasn't picked as the 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.800 greatest night ever like those odds. I like those odds, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:15.160 but we don't really like to do it because the 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.559 D line tab gets pretty hefty. Well you shouldn't. You 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:19.520 should make Mohammed because he got all the cheese, and 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.680 Leonard Wisin he's the first one drafting. They should put 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:23.520 two credit cards in and that's how you do it. 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.800 I got a coaching monks think that they can use 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.160 some miles credit cards, right, you know, and that's gonna 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:32.280 help down anyway. No gas cards, I tell you. Speaking 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.520 of Mohammed Wilkerson, I think the last two weeks, he's 0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:39.120 really come on. He's been playing better football. What have 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:41.920 you thought out of the mall here? Uh? In weeks 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:44.439 seven and weeks eight, they gets his first sec of 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.240 the season against the Atlanta I mean coming into the 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.040 room and the jet, you know, when we did have Sheldon, 0:10:50.480 --> 0:10:52.960 Leo and Mo. I'm around three pro bowlers, so any 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.800 time that I can pick up any knowledge from them 0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:56.920 and how to be a pro, how they practice, what 0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:58.760 works here, what doesn't work there, I just try to 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.560 absorb all that. Now, Mode, I mean, he's a tough guy. 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:06.280 He's different. He's dealing with different elements right now, that shoulder, 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.480 and he definitely is so I mean people try to 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:14.040 discredit sometimes how tough that guy is, and man, he's 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.120 just out there putting it all together. It's just amazing 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.560 to watch and that really shows the dedication to his 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:20.160 teammates in the New York Jets. All right, you're a 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.319 pretty tough guy yourself. I don't know if a lot 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:28.360 of people know about your background. Um, can you tell 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.160 us a little bit about you being diagnosed with cancer 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.520 when you were two years old? Um? Well, when I 0:11:34.559 --> 0:11:37.000 was two years old, I was diagnosed with well stummor cancer. 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.800 They had to go to perform surgery that removed half 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.800 of one of my kidneys. And you know, I've been 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.760 blessed enough not to be within any remission or anything 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.200 like that ever since then. And you know, grow John 0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:48.839 normous to be able to play in the NFL. So 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.319 but you went over that pretty quickly. That's something you 0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.480 would to deal with a lot throughout your childhood. Um, 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.120 when I when I was younger. You know, when people 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:58.040 ask me a lot about this, I have to refer 0:11:58.080 --> 0:11:59.599 them to my mother because I was younger. You know, 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.160 the matic experience, I really like blocked out most of it. 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.160 I really truly don't remember a lot of it. So 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.720 let's always have to refer to her. And you know, 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.880 I know she's a strong lady for going through that 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.559 and still pushing me through everything. Even letting me play football. 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.040 And now we're here, so I mean to attached to 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:18.960 both of your kidneys? Correct, Yes, yes, it's had to 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.840 go through chemo therapy, went through all that and how 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.000 the grades of God, I've been good. I saw that 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.200 you know in your in your bio that that you 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.360 visit some some kids in the hospital then are dealing. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.880 And I know the cancer society is a is a 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.760 tight knit society. I don't know if you have to 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:35.439 continue to get screening for the rest of your life, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:36.880 but I was fortunate enough when I was a member 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.400 of CBS to go down to St. Jules and really 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.680 see the strength. How do you use your story to 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.000 inspire some of those athletes? I know that they are. 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:46.960 You know, parents are hesitant when when their child has 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.320 cancer to really put them in sports. They don't want 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.400 to put them at risk anymore. Whenever, whenever I have 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.520 like a platform to talk about that, um, I usually 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.439 talk more directly to the kids to show them, to 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.679 show their parents and strength within them, because it's really 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.560 the e is going through it. Nobody wants to see 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.520 their child go through anything like that. I mean, when 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.360 I look at it, I'm just like I don't even 0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.080 know how my mother, how she dealt with any of 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:10.679 that and how she had the strength to go through it. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.720 But UM actually visited the hospital that I went through 0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.880 my chemotherapy with and um it was a Children's Mercy 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.320 Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. The eight team wants a chemotherapy, yes, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.680 and they actually the same doctor who was with me 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:25.560 through all that chemop therapy was still there. So it 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.679 was like it was like full circle. It was like 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:30.120 a thrill moment. And there's actually this kid there. I 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.640 can't remember his name of top of my head, but 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.960 he was a bigger kid. He was going through dialysis, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:37.800 had going through chemotherapy as well, and you know, he 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.360 wanted to play football, and like his parents asked me, 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:42.080 like how you dealt with that? And I said, man, 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:44.040 you you can't limit his dreams. You know, he always 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.480 has to have something to look forward to. And in 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.640 the United States, close to sixteen thousand children under the 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.760 age of twenty one are diagnosed with cancer every year, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.000 and approximately one quarter of them won't survive the disease. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.400 So when you're walking around that hospital and you get 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.760 a chance to speak to those kids, what is that 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.840 experience like I mean for me, it's very humbling. I 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:12.760 mean I'm I mean, I'm very lucky, I'm very fortunate, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.719 I'm very blessed. I mean I could easily have been 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.520 one of those kids who didn't make it, Like you know, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.120 it's all the numbers game with football in life. So 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:20.800 I mean, just the fact I'm able to make it 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.680 and the fact I'm able to go back and give 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.680 kids some type of motivation, Like I mean, it's a blessing. 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.080 How does that change your life's purpose? You know, almost 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:31.280 feeling like you have at lease on life and God 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:34.040 spared your life and still allowed you to get this platform. 0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:37.120 What do you see for yourself after the foot after 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.800 the game? Um? I mean, as you know, within the game, 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.520 you're not really thinking too far out of it, So 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.000 I know, I just want to play as long as 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.840 I possibly can, and um, I just want to show 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.440 everybody that you know, you can't let something like that 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.400 to turn you from your dream and your goals. And 0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:53.320 that's why I was fortunate enough that my mother, she 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.440 pushed me through all that, supported me through everything, never 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:58.520 let me say I couldn't or anything like that. It's 0:14:58.520 --> 0:15:00.880 always why not? So what that you're saying you know, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:02.760 I mean you're on our set. Everybody that comes on 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.800 their set balls. Oh, you may get a new contract 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:06.600 because you may set some type of sack record you 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:13.040 because down at how about that inside the jets is 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:18.000 presented by e Y building a better working world? Hey, 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.800 this guy's listen to your point. To your mom though 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.120 for a lot of your success. Huh, no questions, the 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.080 driving force, no question. Without her, I wouldn't be here. College. 0:15:28.880 --> 0:15:31.360 You took a long road to get to the National 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.400 football A long, yes, very long. What college was that 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.720 was the directional college? He jumped around. Let Mike tell 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:39.760 his story a little bit. Why. I mean, I started 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:43.960 junior college at Scott's Community College. Go fighting artichokes? Uh, fighting, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:50.320 that's not on the menu. Not fighting like spinish dipper. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.200 You'll see you see this guy right here fighting artichoke. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:57.960 We say it proudly. Okay, you definitely did. You're representing 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.800 And then what so? Then after that, um, I made 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:03.200 a stop at Arizona State. You know, they didn't really 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:04.640 work out with me in the coach of staff there, 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.359 and then I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.320 at Colorado State University of Publo which was the thunder Wolves. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:11.640 I'm sure you got a say about. Definitely, I got 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:15.120 some thunder wolf like Colorado State, hyphen something else, yes, 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.760 of course. But um, you know the coaches that I 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:20.760 met there at at Scottsdale Community College and Carlo State, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.720 Pebo I still talked to today. I mean, those guys 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:25.480 were instrumental to my success. Um. Then I was fortunate 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.280 enough to get in body to the combine. You know, 0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:29.200 things didn't work out how it was supposed to do 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:30.440 in the draft, and I got my two of the 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.920 Green Bay Packers to twenty five at the combine. How 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.800 many reps now, see come on the numbers at the COMMA. 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.840 You gotta understand they take away reps. So I believe 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:48.640 that I made I do have long arms, got a 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.880 little lengthy here arms. But um, I think it listened 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.040 at twenty eight. But I am going on the record 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.680 saying I did the thirty three? Did you run a forty? 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:03.840 Of course? What's the time? Now? I see, once once 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.159 again we got what was it a stopwatch or was 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.480 it a we're gonna I'm gonna give you the stopwatch time, 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:11.600 give you the later time. My stopwatch talk was four 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:13.560 nine eight and then I'm not even gonna listen to 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:16.359 the later time because that that was in anything that 0:17:16.440 --> 0:17:20.560 said five. I listened to it. Six four, three hundred 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.640 thirty five pounds running a forty less than five seconds. 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:29.800 That's not right. I have some moves. Yeah, you certainly did. Um, 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.400 So tell me about the rotation right now and how 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.919 much you and you are enjoying the guys up front 0:17:35.960 --> 0:17:39.440 and what you're being coached on by Robert not um, 0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:41.520 I mean coaching him. He's a big technician, you know, 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.080 so he's all about you know, technique, alignment, assignment. That's 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.639 our major thing. We talked about it every week. Um 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.760 with the guys. Now, you know, some games I'll start 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.240 some games I don't. But it's always being with this 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.000 group of guys. Everybody's competitive, so it's always good somebody 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:56.760 gets a tackle. It's like, all right, I gotta get 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.960 a tackle. I know when my time comes. So we're 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.680 always pushing each other. Everybody supportive. Man, it's just a 0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.320 great google guys. Now, you talked about the Buffalo Bills 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.280 this week Thursday, talk about Shady. They're playing exceptionally well, 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.199 I think, surprising a lot of people. How do you 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.480 slow them down and how you walk out with the 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.440 dub um. We just gotta stop shady stop twenty five, 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.760 you know, then hopefully get tired on the pass off 0:18:17.760 --> 0:18:20.359 the pocket and let our rushers get to him. Well, 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:22.879 Mike Panell, you did a great job here on inside 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.760
