0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Head coach Sean Horriball I met with the media today

<v Speaker 1>and talked about that game coming up this weekend.

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>It was a great day for the guys practicing, which

<v Speaker 2>I appreciate as a coach. They were high energy and sharp,

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:26.599
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna need to be because we're playing a

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:30.720
<v Speaker 2>very good team in some tough conditions on Sunday. But

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.040

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, what questions you have?

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 3>How is Lamar feeling today?

<v Speaker 2>He was feeling good, full life, full life. He looked

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 2>good out there and he was back and he's recovered.

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:57.320
<v Speaker 4>So Odell was not out there here just at that

0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 4>day or.

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, that was my day.

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Given the day to day, he had two two really

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>good days of practice.

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>More of miss five games each and the past your

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.800
<v Speaker 1>season down to stretch the poor Ruxuries that having back

<v Speaker 1>this year for that stretch run they.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Get keeps run the playoffs.

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, December football is so important. It's a

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.520
<v Speaker 2>it's advent, you know, the advent we are. We are

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>seeking something, an advent and we're definitely seeking something from

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:25.199
<v Speaker 2>a football perspective in December. So that's what we're after

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>right now. I know you like that one. We just

0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of say, yeah, that works, that works. But uh,

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 2>but we want to be at our best, you know,

0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:35.760
<v Speaker 2>and obviously having Lamar and and all the guys where

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>they're at right now ready to go is something that

0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>we're excited about. But we've got something, some things to accomplish,

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>and it starts, uh, but just playing our best football

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 2>from day to day and from game to game.

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.160
<v Speaker 3>Marcus Williams, feeling better more on hum Free, said he's

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.200
<v Speaker 3>ready to go. How difficult are kind of.

0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>The decisions that come even on game day just with

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>having all those guys.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 3>Ready to play.

0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 4>All the guys have contributed at this point, but now

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 4>you you know, you have to make a secrets in

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 4>the secretary.

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 2>No question. I mean, there's gonna be healthy scratches. You know,

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>we haven't had too many healthy scratches this year, so

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>there'll be some healthy scratches. And that's not an indication

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>obviously of how well guys can contribute for us, because

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>they've contributed already so well. So it's just gonna be

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of strategic based on what we're faced with, and

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 2>you know what gives us the best chance to deal

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 2>with whatever we have to deal with during the game

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>personnel wise.

0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 5>This is sort of an Hubball Friday question brought what's

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 5>the sort of other science behind how do you pair

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.800
<v Speaker 5>guys up in the locker room? How do you how

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 5>do you do the neighbor of the.

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 3>Science of it.

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's a lot of science that goes into that,

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:42.120
<v Speaker 2>however you want to describe it.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm a big science guy.

0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, remember the Saturday Night Live skit when they

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.160
<v Speaker 2>were busting Tom Brady for not being a science computer. Yeah,

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.040
<v Speaker 2>that that line right there. Yeah, like a science computer would. Uh,

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>it's it's just it's just a field thing. I work

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 2>with Megan mcgloughlin on it because she's in charge of

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the locker room, uh lockers and who gets them and stuff.

0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>So we just kind of work together on it and

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>just just move guys around as we go. It's really

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>it's really you could put anybody next to anybody in

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>this team. I mean, that's really what it blows down to.

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>And we do like to mix it up. We don't

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>put them by position, we don't put them by jersey number.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 2>We put them by uh, you know, life, just move

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 2>them around. And I think it helps. I think it

0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 2>helps guys get to know different guys, which is a

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>good thing. Do you have like a little chart that

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>you have everybody we have we're organized yeh, science computer stuff, Yeah, exactly, charts, charts,

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>things like.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 5>That, giving you a chuckle inside, just the idea of

0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 5>these two guys together.

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 3>You don't have to specify with Lots are the ones.

0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 2>That nobody has ever said. I've never had a complaint,

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 2>nobody's ever chuckled, nobody's ever said anything to me about it.

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Everybody just just goes and grabs their stuff. Wherever the

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>name is over their locker, that's where they go. That's

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 2>how that's And we appreciate.

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 4>That players have any say or like based on senuity

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 4>or anything.

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Case you know.

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, you know, usually the guys who've been here

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 2>the longest get the best spots. You know, I am

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 2>conscious of that. I know which I know what the

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, the good spots are you know the good lots. Yeah,

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 2>they get the bigger lots.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's done.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 2>You and Joey having Jerry back on the field, and

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>great to have Jerry back. It's he's good to see

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 2>him out there. It's always fun when Jerry rolls into town,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you know. So, uh and actually you're picking his brain

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. He watches us, you know, and uh, Jack,

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Well he was out there in the middle of things.

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 3>I saw that. So it looks like coaching.

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 2>No, I think that's it's part of It's definitely his

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 2>who he is.

0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>He gave me some good, good, good philosophy this morning,

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 2>so I appreciate it.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Did you check out the trophies on your way in

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and and have any thoughts on your way back the

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>soccer trophies.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, the soccer trophies, Uh I did. They're really big trophies,

0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 2>got bigger than ours. Our Lombardi Trophy is not that big.

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 3>You know that, But I don't.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that the value is necessarily in size

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of the trophy. Although what they accomplished was pretty incredible, right,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 2>and you know, to to to win across the board

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>like that like a Grand Slam kind of soccer. Right,

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm kind of getting more into soccer now. We've

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 2>we've had a chance to meet some people in the

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 2>in the business the other football and uh, it's it's

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.400
<v Speaker 2>really cool. It's a cool sport. So uh, Plus I'm

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 2>a big fan of the show, you know, Ted Lasso.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 4>So John, we're gonna hear from Josh Bines in a

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 4>moment for to have a player like that, I mean,

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.680
<v Speaker 4>he came in as an undrafted rookie, was here, helped

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 4>you win a Super Bowl, left and then came back.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.599
<v Speaker 4>But what's it like to to kind of, you know,

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 4>see his career and follow up from Afar and then

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:30.720
<v Speaker 4>him to come back and retire as a Raven?

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Right, Well, you know, Josh Bienes is announcing his retirement

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 2>as a Raven today. His whole family's here, His beautiful

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 2>family's here with his with his amazing wife and kids,

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and they'll be walking around here right now. Look at

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.320
<v Speaker 2>look at this family, and and he's got a couple

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 2>of sons of probably be looking at Michigan here. In

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.359
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years, Ozzie was trying to recruit for

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Alabama already Josh said, absolutely not because where did Josh

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 2>go to school? Auburn, Right War Eagle. So, but to

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>me it's kind of jo is a person, player, man

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>who epitomizes the opportunity that football represents. Okay, the true

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>meritocracy that we like to talk about in football, that

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 2>no matter where you come from, no matter where you've been,

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.640
<v Speaker 2>your background, whatever it is, how heralded you are or

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you are not, how much you've talked about, whatever it

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 2>might be, the content of your character, your talent, your

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 2>work effort, effort, your ability just to find a way

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>to get the job done and produce and whatever the

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 2>job may be. To me, that's what Josh Bines represents.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.360
<v Speaker 2>As you said, undrafted free agent. Probably people probably weren't

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.400
<v Speaker 2>betting on him to make the team even way back then.

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Twelve seasons later twelve as starter almost every game for

0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.680
<v Speaker 2>twelve seasons, productive starter, making tackles, setting records for tackles,

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:52.240
<v Speaker 2>all the things he did. And then not just that

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>past the football stuff which you have to do, you

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 2>have to produce, but the locker room, the leadership, the mentorship,

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the example that he's such for the guys by the

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.719
<v Speaker 2>type of a family man he's a father, husband that

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 2>he is. I think guys look at that and it

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 2>makes a difference.

0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 3>And I know that.

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I know he's been there for guys just to talk

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>to and make a difference in their lives. So that's

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 2>what a hall of famer is to me, you know,

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 2>A hall of famer, Yeah, he's he's that kind of

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>a player that deserves that kind of recognition in terms

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>of being all the accolades that hes accomplish as a

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 2>football player, but a hall of famer in life, you know,

0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and relationships. So the beauty of football to me is

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 2>someone like that. And uh So, without any further ado,

0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Josh Mines.

0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 6>I hang on, thats y all. I'm kind of it's

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.200
<v Speaker 6>kind of surreal. It hits you kind of kind of quick.

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm not an emotional person, but like I just like

0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.200
<v Speaker 6>har say, I just really appreciate every single thing in

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.880
<v Speaker 6>this league has done for me. I'm just gonna start

0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 6>by just saying I appreciate, uh my parents first and

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 6>foremost my wife. Parents were to support throughout this whole

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 6>entire process of being playing football from since I was

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 6>seven years old to now, and it's just it's just

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 6>been it's been a journey, and while I had something

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.240
<v Speaker 6>written down and all this other stuff, but it just

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:11.480
<v Speaker 6>kind of went out the window and you get up

0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 6>here and I'm not even emotional, so I'm like, I'm

0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:17.960
<v Speaker 6>about to cry, but but I'd just like to, you know,

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 6>just think, you know, my Arbumn University first War Eagle.

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 6>my life then, and to take up opportunity for me

0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 6>to give me opportunity obviously to meet my wife, who

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:36.559
<v Speaker 6>also went to Auburn as well.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 3>So that's been a huge thing.

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.080
<v Speaker 6>And U and I appreciate Auburn for that, and I

<v Speaker 3>Every it happens all the time.

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.280
<v Speaker 6>Why and it starts with the head man over there,

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 6>and that's just where it starts at. It starts from

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 6>an organization from top down, from every every single person,

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.120

<v Speaker 6>for twelve years and I appreciate it.

0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Talk to John before about said you make a great coach.

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 1>Do you anticipate coaching?

0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Is that what you want to do in your next

0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not gonna see a lot to you.

0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I've been doing some more of that

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.200
<v Speaker 6>even last season, helping out just like even when I

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.600
<v Speaker 6>wasn't playing with Rocann and PQ and just like trying

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.120
<v Speaker 6>to get the guys just to you know, ready for

0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 6>like games and stuff like that. Because I'm really I'm

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.439
<v Speaker 6>a selfless person. I feel like one of us win,

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 6>we all win, and that's been That's just that's just

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.880
<v Speaker 6>my mindset. And I've also coached my son's eighth grade

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:52.480
<v Speaker 6>football team this year, helping with the defense and had

0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.840
<v Speaker 6>them doing some things this year. So I feel like

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 6>that has been something I've been wanting to do for

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 6>a while. I know a lot of guys get to

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 6>my age probably get a little scared of that, but

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.200
<v Speaker 6>I'm I'm fine with that. Played twelve years, but I'm

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 6>looking forward to the opportunity to get into coaching and

0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.000
<v Speaker 6>being able to hopefully pour their knowledge to other guys

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 6>and hopefully they have successful careers as well.

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 3>God you got here there. You know, what do you

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:16.840
<v Speaker 3>remember thinking about.

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Your roster dances and about how difficult it was going

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 4>to be the stick when you look at ray Lewis

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:23.079
<v Speaker 4>being on the field.

0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:26.960
<v Speaker 3>And just this team's tradition and at that position. Oh yeah,

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.320
<v Speaker 3>it was definitely. I knew it was. It was definitely

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:30.320
<v Speaker 3>gonna be hard to make the team.

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 6>But I think I think I have to think guys

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.959
<v Speaker 6>like down All LB Jamille McLain, Album McClellan, Brianbadejo for

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 6>those guys I wouldn't brandan Oh my lord, I must say,

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 6>Brian Brandon, I Ambidejo, those guys for just like taking me

0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 6>under the wing and teaching me how to play the game,

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 6>and they all undrafted linebackers and how to make it

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:50.760
<v Speaker 6>and how to you know, pretty much a vibe.

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 3>And it was hard.

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.080
<v Speaker 6>It was rough, you know, rookie year coming into organization

0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 6>like this and where the expectation is at at its

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 6>highest and you appreciate that because it makes again the

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 6>best out of you every single time.

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 3>And so that was tough.

0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 6>Obviously I didn't make the roster, obviously, but uh do

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 6>but uh when I did get a chance to get

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 6>a call back, I got a call Because this is crazy.

0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I anybody told this story.

0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:15.480
<v Speaker 6>So when I got I had just interviewed for a

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.000

<v Speaker 6>You know, I started crying because and then you know,

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 6>all the time, I was just twenty whatever was twenty one,

0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:51.320
<v Speaker 6>twenty two at the time.

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:52.719
<v Speaker 3>Trying to figure out, Okay, what's my next face?

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 6>Football is over at the time, and to go from

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 6>that to you know, obviously playing twelve years is just

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.520
<v Speaker 6>is insane. And I gotta give thank you for Ozzie

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 6>for that phone call.

0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:04.800
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate you, Josh.

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.720
<v Speaker 4>You played twelve years, but so many people will remember

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.079
<v Speaker 4>you from making the final tackle in the Super Bowl

0:14:09.120 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 4>and just reflect little on that moment. And at that point,

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 4>could you have ever thought that you play another ten.

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Years after that?

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 4>Just you knowing you were still trying to establish yourself.

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.280
<v Speaker 3>At that point, Yeah, I agree with that. And so

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 3>that year started off.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.120
<v Speaker 6>Most of you guys know, I broke my back in

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 6>training camp that year and when the second day, I

0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:29.160
<v Speaker 6>believe a pads or something like that, freak accident practice

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 6>and and that year was just like I was uncertain.

0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.920
<v Speaker 6>My wife I call her, she was crying because I

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.560
<v Speaker 6>was in the hospital. Didn't know what was going on

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 6>and everything. And now I give you now, I was

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 6>kind of like skeptical, like I don't I don't know

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 6>if this might be my season, year, career might be

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 6>over with this back issue, and I'm young, still trying

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 6>to you know, establish myself.

0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 3>In this league. But I got to give guys like

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Jerry Rosberg.

0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 6>And coach harbl like I said, and just you know,

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 6>giving me opportunity and knowing that, okay, he's gonna come

0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 6>back and contribute in some form of fashion for this team.

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 6>And uh and obviously I ended up coming back and

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.040
<v Speaker 6>playing games and end up starting games. We got a

0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 6>lot of guys hurt and given opportunities. And I think

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.440
<v Speaker 6>just about those opportunities I've had, I've always you know,
