Yeah, I got 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: a great memory inside that stadium m my high school. 24 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: It was my tenth grader year. I was playing Book 25 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: A T Washington. It's like robbery. I played both sides 26 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: of the ball. I played offensive defense, and we was 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 1: kind of down, like it was like probably like seventeen 28 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: or like three at the halftime, and they was they 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: was winning and we came out to have coach twisted 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: up put us on defense. It's like our first game, 31 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: just going both ways. And they threw it, threw it up, 32 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: tipped it up. I caught it. I ran it all 33 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: over back and that started like the trickle effect of 34 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: us coming back and like after that, I put like 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: an eight yr run and it was just crazy, like 36 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: how the game evolved and we won the game and 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: we celebrate. It was crazy. That's like my like if 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: you watched the game, it's like like my favorite memory. 39 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: Like really yeah, YouTube tenth grade. I was in the 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: tenth grade. Like when I when our games, like when 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: we was in high school and our games sold out. 42 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: We had a stadium and we play that, but like 43 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: when when that field couldn't hold like the amount of 44 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: people because the game was so hyped up. Yeah, would 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: take that game over to Dolphin Stadium and playing side 46 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: of that, Yeah, so it could hold enough people football 47 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: in Florida. It's crazy. And I was reading this the 48 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: other day. Is it true that you didn't start playing 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: I guess high school football into tenth grade? Yeah, intend 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: tith grade, so why not ninth grade? And you know, 51 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: I guess Devonce Freeman was there right like describe. I 52 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 1: guess how your level of the game grew. Missing a 53 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 1: year in ninth grade. I think that actually like took 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: me to the next level. Like I played up on 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: an older age too. I didn't really like get the 56 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: development of like playing running back or nothing like that 57 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: because I was playing with older guys. I tried to 58 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: go play for my high school Dolph to play for 59 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: MYNEMA sent you. But like when I got there, like 60 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: you said, the Vante heave, we wasn't getting no reps. 61 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: Like I was no reps. He was like what I'm saying, 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: I respected it because like he waited his turn and 63 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it's like, all right, do you 64 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 1: want to wait behind him and then this waste another 65 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: year or you go back to the park and play 66 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: equal football with gods at the same age, because that's 67 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: how it was working out. And I did that, My 68 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,399 Speaker 1: confidence grew through the level to the level I needed 69 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: to go, and I went to high school and I 70 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: was it. That's incredible. I mean you it sounds like 71 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: you learned a valuable lesson that and patience and maybe 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: waiting that. Maybe did you have to use that lesson 73 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: and apply it later on in your career. It's crazy 74 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: how it worked out. Because I got to Florida State 75 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: and kind of like the same thing happened. Um I 76 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: got there, they coming off a national championship year. They 77 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: hadn't won a national championship the year before I got there, 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: and they had they had two running backs that had 79 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: returned that was playing with them already, and I didn't 80 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: get no snap still and it was like came game five, 81 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: like I'm just back, just waiting my turn, patiently waiting 82 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: them healthy and all both of them got hurt, like 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: both of got hurt. And since then I got in. 84 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I ran for a hundred yards the first game I 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: got out there, and then ever since Dad it was 86 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: a rap like was the leader Russia and everything like 87 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: broke every record. What is it about players? I guess 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: like high school football players from Florida. Like there's a 89 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: different swagger, there's a different energy. Like my dad's from 90 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: Florida and he always told me babies when they come 91 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: out the womb, they get back. Doctors give him a 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: hand out. What the ball at? Yeah, the ball you 93 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: come out like a little ball. And that it's different man, 94 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: Like the mentality, like like the games are, like I said, 95 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: so hyped up and like you feel like the press 96 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: to play good every there, every every game, Like you 97 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: feel like I got to play up to this level, 98 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, Like it's just the 99 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: level of competition Rodgers Joe level to like a level 100 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: that you didn't think you even had in you, like 101 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: hit bringing something out of you that like like you 102 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: don't even know you got in you. And like I 103 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: think the environment sets itself, like when you go out 104 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: there and you look around like man, like this Friday night, 105 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,239 Speaker 1: like like you know what I'm saying, Like this ain't 106 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: no bigger stage than this, like and they just bring 107 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: that dog out you man, and that's be down there 108 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 1: is like so different And I'm saying so like you 109 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: want to like go go on the track and want 110 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: to catch up stage they're ahead of the schedule. What 111 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's what we did, Like we wasn't in football. 112 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: We ran track, Like you know what I'm saying, Like 113 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: like that was like either or you either play football 114 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: you run track. So like you you got to keep 115 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: up for what's going on. I think a mentality sets 116 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: separates us too, Tatum. I was reading guy that if 117 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: you put all the high school athletes from the state, 118 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: I guess from South Florida on an NFL team that 119 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: could probably beat the Jacksonville Jackar. We got our own test, 120 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: like you know, like Lamar Jackson yourself. I mean, you 121 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 1: can go on and on and on. Man, It's it's crazy, man. 122 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Just just like I said, that trickle effect of seeing 123 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: like you know, me seeing like DeVante Freeman go to 124 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. Then Lamar like setting that that platform for 125 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: like you know, running quarterbacks again and just like all 126 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: we needed to see what's the blueprint and we can 127 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: go get it done. And that's and that's that's why 128 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: I feel, like you know what I'm saying, Like a 129 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: person like me while I go back to my community 130 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: so much because like kids only need to see that blueprint. 131 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: And once I've seen DeVante got to the level that 132 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: he got to and he kept like just like evolving 133 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: and evolving. I just said, like, man, that's the blueprint 134 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna follow that and I'm gonna go get 135 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: it done.

I do what I do, but Chef 327 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: run blocking, it's something that goes on the underrated as 328 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: a receiver, as a running back. How much of pass 329 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: blocking is a mindset versus you know, strictly technique And 330 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 1: I want to it's both because when you got to 331 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: hear Butter that just running down and he just want 332 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: to hit you, then that's just will right there.

Establishing this run 346 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: game has been a bit of a slow burn at 347 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: times because of the transition and the offensive schemes. What 348 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 1: has it been like from your vantage point, It's been fun, 349 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: just like trying to get on the same page with 350 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: my office alignment in this new scheme, so we're done. 351 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 1: I hadn't been in the same downhill system for the 352 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: last five years, and getting introduced to this new system 353 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: with with Ko and Westam, It's been kind of fun 354 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: for me just just seeing what their mind's at and 355 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: getting on the same page.

Like I always played the game with so 400 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: much joy to what Like when I was probably back 401 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: in like high school, literally they used to look at 402 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: me crazy way. I just used to just be out 403 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: there like like I'm on a lot of candy or 404 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: something like it's just fun like football, Like we gifted 405 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: the game to people who take it so serious to 406 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: where they forget about that fun part and like, you 407 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, being a kid again, and that's 408 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: where it all generated from us being five years old. 409 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 1: Six years so I started when I was four, So 410 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: it's like, take me back to when I was four. Man, 411 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: that's a kid's game that we we have. You do 412 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 1: all these exces and olds and we talked this, but 413 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: like at the end of the day, it's it's a 414 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 1: kid's game. And the fact that certain people can't have 415 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: fun with it, the fact that you do it, I 416 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: think that is encouraging for people to see because I 417 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: always say football is a synopsis of life because you 418 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: have a goal in mine, you have a plan and 419 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: if you execute it, like you're going to get knocked 420 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 1: back a few times, but as long as you get 421 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: to that end goal, that's all that matters. And for you, 422 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,639 Speaker 1: what is that end goal? For you? End goal? I 423 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 1: want to bring that trophy back to Minneshoulder before it's 424 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: all said and done, because I know, like the team 425 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: we don't put together, like like all the sacrifices, it's 426 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: gonna be all for that at one common goal that 427 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: we all in that locker room for that we all 428 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: in this room for. And that's what I've been searching 429 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: for us as I was four years old. Man, just 430 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: trying to get that trophy in. I know it's not 431 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: gonna be easy, so like, why not put the work 432 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 1: in and go get it done. Why why leave something 433 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: on the table when you can just get like, just 434 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: put it all out there. And you know it's crazy. 435 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: Ko just started talking about that. Just leave it all 436 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: out there. Man. Man, I'm gonna leave it out like that. 437 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a trophy back in Minnesota, something 438 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: that ain't never been done. Yeah, that's true. I know 439 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: you take things a week by week and game by game, 440 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: but why why do you think this team could be 441 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: a team that could bring home a trophy. I think 442 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 1: the mindset of the weekly preparation. I think the brotherhood 443 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 1: we have in that locker room. I think the confidence 444 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: we have in this staff and everything that they put 445 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: behind us. Was just the trainers, the plans, you know, 446 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: how we prepare for a game, everything that's that's behind 447 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: the scenes, that's getting done. I think it's set up. 448 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,479 Speaker 1: It sets us up for success, and I think all 449 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: the players have to do is just buy into it 450 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: and go out there and do all the exces and oath. 451 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 1: But this team has no selling to it. And you see, 452 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: like if we go out and put up I think 453 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: if we go out and put a whole game together, offense, 454 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: special team of the defense, I think we could be 455 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: something special. Man. It's not gonna come over to night. 456 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: It's gonna come down the line. And I'm looking forward 457 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: to that game we hain't fifty and the defense go 458 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 1: out done and what they need to do, and special 459 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 1: teams fly around, and I think we're just gonna We're 460 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna fly over after that. Yeah, and that starts with 461 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: one game at the time. That starts with the Miami 462 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Dolphins on Sunday. And my last question for you before 463 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 1: we close the show is when when you see a 464 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: team on film or you see stats and you say, 465 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: you know, this team like Miami Dolphins a top ten 466 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: run defense in the NFL, does that juice you a 467 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: little bit more to prove daughters wrong for people saying 468 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: that ain't nobody's been being able to run on them 469 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: this year? What does that do for you? Definitely take 470 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 1: pride of that when you hit the stats and the 471 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: stat line that pretty. They don't get get me, like 472 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: the ball still got to get rolled out. They still 473 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: gotta come out and play football. And I think that 474 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: mindset of me carrying that over and running like that, 475 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: you know, carry that purpose over right to my whole line. 476 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying. They understand, like, all right, 477 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: we don't care who over there. Like I'm saying, we 478 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 1: respect the opponent, but we still got to get our 479 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: job done. And they're NFL players that we are NFL player, 480 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: So but the respect is still still there. But we 481 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: gotta get our job done. It's gonna start up front. 482 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 1: So top ten, top twenty, we gotta go do our 483 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: job well. Best elect this week in Dami.
