Speaker 7: Perspective, Yeah, you know. Right now, I'm kind of just
Speaker 7: I'm trying to be dad.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: I got three kids, and I spent last year in
Speaker 7: Philly and that was great. My family was not with me,
Speaker 7: and my oldest son he went from like here to
Speaker 7: here between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and I was like, I
Speaker 7: kind of I need to be home.
Speaker 3: So you know, I'm doing this, which is great.
Speaker 7: You know, get to hang out and talk football, which
Speaker 7: I love to do, and get to see a lot
Speaker 7: of people that I haven't seen a long time.
Speaker 3: So it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 9: Coaches at hard before you go MVP tonight, Yeah, they
Speaker 9: gave it to Josh Allen. Yeah, with the numbers in
Speaker 9: the stats that Lamar Jackson put up this season.
Speaker 7: Yeah, your thoughts. You know, I'm gonna go the other direction.
Speaker 7: I'm going Sakuon Barkley, MVP Sakwon Barkley. I mean, this
Speaker 7: guy was doing stuff I saw. I sat with my
Speaker 7: son and he ran you know, defensive guys, right, so
Speaker 7: we appreciate this, right, So he ran and I saw
Speaker 7: him do a reverse leap frog over another human like
Speaker 7: a professional athlete.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And I looked at my son and I said,
Speaker 3: you will never see that again. That is the most
Speaker 3: amazing thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 7: And I think his Yeah, I mean he has been unbelievable, right,
Speaker 7: And I think everything that he's brought, and you guys.
Speaker 3: Can appreciate, you guys are great.
Speaker 7: You guys are I mean obviously like I'm humbled to
Speaker 7: be even sitting with you. Guys are unbelievable with great players.
Speaker 7: And you all did this on your teams, and we
Speaker 7: know what great players look like, right. Those are the
Speaker 7: guys that elevate everyone around them. You know, they're the
Speaker 7: guys that take good players and make them great players
Speaker 7: that are average players and make them good players and
Speaker 7: bring that team together.
Speaker 3: And I think he's done that in Philly.
Speaker 7: I think his humility and his excitement is general joy
Speaker 7: that he has to.
Speaker 3: Watch his team succeed. I man, I love it. I
Speaker 3: love that coach.
Speaker 2: How do you build trust with a player because they say,
Speaker 2: you know, this is a player's lead. Yeah, And the
Speaker 2: players seeming that are getting younger and younger, and it's different.
Speaker 2: I mean You can't coach players like they could in time.
Speaker 2: We talk about this all the time. You can't coach
Speaker 2: players like we got coach when we were in the
Speaker 2: league and when we were growing up. So but how
Speaker 2: do you build that trust with players?
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I kind of look at like I'm
Speaker 7: on like my fourth generation of NFL player, you know,
Speaker 7: my old heads.
Speaker 3: When I coach linebackers, was.
Speaker 7: Like Teddy Bruski, Mike Vrabel Junior, Say, Willie McGinnis, Roosevelt Covid,
Speaker 7: Larry Izzo, Chad Brown.
Speaker 3: My room. I'd walk in my room.
Speaker 7: I wasn't sure if we were going to coach or fight, Like,
Speaker 7: I didn't know because it was like Alpha Dog Central.
Speaker 7: But I think the biggest thing that everybody wants, they
Speaker 7: just they want to know that you're gonna help them
Speaker 7: get better. They want to know that you're trying to
Speaker 7: do everything you can to elevate their play and everything
Speaker 7: you can to you know, grow them as young men.
Speaker 3: And I think that's what we got to do.
Speaker 7: And you know, look, you got to make sure you
Speaker 7: go in and tell them how much you appreciate them,
Speaker 7: how much you respect what they do.
Speaker 3: You know, you guys are different like I didn't.
Speaker 7: I can't play, so you know, I can coach, but
Speaker 7: I'm not in between those white lines, you know, so
Speaker 7: I need to do everything I can do. And this
Speaker 7: is what kept me up late to make sure that
Speaker 7: you can go out and perform your best. And that's
Speaker 7: why I didn't sleep every week because I was like,
Speaker 7: there's no way I'm gonna let you know.
Speaker 3: You go in between those white lines and do.
Speaker 7: Everything that you do at an unbelievable level, and risk
Speaker 7: everything that you risk, and make sure that I didn't
Speaker 7: give you every tool possible I could to make you
Speaker 7: be successful, because I just want to see the joy
Speaker 7: in your face when you get that done.
Speaker 9: Right Sunday, we got a big game, super Bowl fifty
Speaker 9: and a half. Yes, you've been around the game of
Speaker 9: football for a very long time. Yes, offensive side of
Speaker 9: the ball, deepen the side of the ball. If I'm
Speaker 9: a bet man who put my money on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am. I am Eagles all the way. I'll
Speaker 3: say this.
Speaker 7: So there's two teams right now and then if Super
Speaker 7: Bowl history that have had the number one defense and
Speaker 7: the NFL's leading rusher, Philadelphia's won right now. The other
Speaker 7: one was the ninety two Cowboys and they won. So
Speaker 7: you know, look, defense within championships. I'm on the couch
Speaker 7: with the defensive guy, so I'm okay. But you know,
Speaker 7: I think this is where the defense comes through. And look,
Speaker 7: Kansas City, Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes like those are you know,
Speaker 7: those are guys keep me up late at night. But
Speaker 7: I like where Philly's at right now. Like the physicality,
Speaker 7: the toughness. I think that's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 10: How do you think coach uh, we just presented the
Speaker 10: NFL Coach of the Year together. How do you think
Speaker 10: Coach Belichick is going to do at the college level?
Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you what. I know.
Speaker 7: North Carolina is excited, and I know those kids are excited.
Speaker 7: I think those kids are going to be coached in
Speaker 7: a way that you know, Look, he's gonna teach. He's
Speaker 7: gonna take the extreme complex and he's gonna boil it
Speaker 7: all the way down into something really simple that they
Speaker 7: can understand. And he's gonna pair those guys for the
Speaker 7: next level, you know, And I think that'll be a tremendous,
Speaker 7: amazing opportunity for those guys to learn from him.
Speaker 10: I just told him, and we're just ship chatting as
Speaker 10: the coach. I saw that you went on the road
Speaker 10: and you went to the home visits. I said, you know,
Speaker 10: I don't do home visits, but he said, he said,
Speaker 10: I've been on the road for a minute. So I
Speaker 10: just it's just hard for me to think about Coach
Speaker 10: Belichick doing home visits with kids in high school.
Speaker 3: That is crazy.
Speaker 7: I mean, imagine you're, you know, you're that, you're in
Speaker 7: that home and come here comes coach walking through the door.
Speaker 3: So you know, that's got to be a great experience
Speaker 3: for all of them. Coach, thank for joining us. Thanks
Speaker 3: so much, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: And now hold on, holdo, I'm talking to the stage
Speaker 3: Steve Spell. I was like, he is strippling something the
Speaker 3: way y'all come where you see the wall? You see
Speaker 3: the wall, that's that money wall? What do you do? Baby? Yeah? See,
Speaker 3: y'all hire him? What I want to be on first take.
Speaker 3: We got the people, got the people here in front
Speaker 3: of you, so I want to get this all working
Speaker 3: out to my dog. What day I want to make
Speaker 3: sure y'all hear this. What day can I join first?
Speaker 1: Tap?
Speaker 3: What day you joined first? Take what day the day?
Speaker 3: I tell you. Okay, okay, okay, we're getting somewhere. That's enough.
Speaker 3: Who you want the thing you want to share? Noah,
Speaker 3: you ner. I'm good. Life is good.
Speaker 11: Life is good. I can't complain. It's good to see y'all.
Speaker 11: Thank y'all for coming out with my boys. And don't
Speaker 11: get no better than what they doing. And we know
Speaker 11: what the hell he been doing, so it's all good.
Speaker 1: I'm in.
Speaker 3: I'm in good company tonight.
Speaker 2: We've been we've been talking about this and we've been
Speaker 2: going back and forth. Josh Allen won the MVP.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson was first team All Pro quarterback, which is
Speaker 2: I'm surprised.
Speaker 3: I'm shocked that it happened. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 11: I'm kind of glad Lamar didn't win it. Well, where
Speaker 11: you gotta let me explain. It's the setup. That's the setup.
Speaker 11: You got two league MVPs. Every other individual in NFL
Speaker 11: history who's had two league MVPs have won the.
Speaker 3: Super Bowl Championship.
Speaker 11: Lamar, if you will be quiet and let me explain,
Speaker 11: I will make sure you understand my explanation. What I'm
Speaker 11: saying is if he had won three then the heat
Speaker 11: on him next year would have intensified even more and
Speaker 11: we'd highlight his failures more instead of appreciating his greatness more.
Speaker 11: Josh Allen went into MVP, well, congratulations, Now what you're
Speaker 11: gonna do because we're gonna talk about you the same
Speaker 11: way we talked about Lamar Jackson now because now you're
Speaker 11: an MVP, where's your chip? And if we're not gonna
Speaker 11: talk about him not having a chip, we can't do
Speaker 11: that to Lamar Jackson either.
Speaker 3: That's why I like it, but I don't love it.
Speaker 10: I understand it. I like it, but I don't. I
Speaker 10: understand your philosophy. I understand how you flip that brilliant
Speaker 10: That's what I expect from you. But nevertheless, we can't
Speaker 10: look down the street and condemn a man about what
Speaker 10: may happen tomorrow and not applaud what he's done today,
Speaker 10: because that man deserves his flowers right now, regardless of
Speaker 10: what may happen tomorrow and how we think about him.
Speaker 10: He was the most valuable quarterback in the NFL, to
Speaker 10: his team, to our league, to his offense, and by
Speaker 10: right or wrong, mister Stephen A.
Speaker 3: Smith, I'll get that to you. But allow me to retort.
Speaker 11: We walked into this season and we looked at Baltimore
Speaker 11: and the acquisition to Derek Henry, and we said that Monsters.
Speaker 3: They gonna win the AFC.
Speaker 11: We saw Josh Allen, he lost Stefon Diggs, he lost
Speaker 11: Gabe Davis.
Speaker 3: He had a rookie wide out in Keon Coleman.
Speaker 11: He didn't get Amari Cooper until the middle of the season,
Speaker 11: and he was bawling out up until the last week
Speaker 11: of the season or so. Shannon and I, along with
Speaker 11: everybody else, was debating who was the MVP. We would
Speaker 11: leaning towards Lamar Jackson, but it wasn't like we had
Speaker 11: submarily dismissed Josh Allen because he had played on an
Speaker 11: elite level and he didn't have as much to work with.
Speaker 11: So you're absolutely right with what you're seeing. If we're
Speaker 11: able to look at Lamar Jackson and say they ain't
Speaker 11: no need to discuss nobody else because nobody else was
Speaker 11: even close. But we know that wasn't the case with
Speaker 11: Josh Allen because of the personnel that he was working with,
Speaker 11: the absence of expectations, how he had exceeded expectations, and
Speaker 11: because of That is why I feel the way that.
Speaker 3: I feel looking at this game.
Speaker 2: Kansas City go and put unprecedented three p You got
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles that were here just just three years ago,
Speaker 2: just the second time they're here in three years.
Speaker 3: We know what's at stake.
Speaker 2: We got Saquan who had an unbelievable season, offensive Offensive
Speaker 2: Player of the Year. You got Jalen Hurst who played unbelievable,
Speaker 2: had the one turnover, and they ended up losing that
Speaker 2: ball game. If you had to bet your money who
Speaker 2: you like in this game on Sunday.
Speaker 11: Well, you don't bet against Patrick Mahomes. Do You don't
Speaker 11: bet against Patrick Mahomes. However, if you want to roll
Speaker 11: at dice and take chances because there's more money out
Speaker 11: there to get if you take a risk, you look
Speaker 11: at Philly. Philly collectively is the better team they are.
Speaker 11: You look it up, and then we talk about Saquon
Speaker 11: Barkley two thousand and five yards Russian.
Speaker 3: He's been electrifying. But we didn't mention this enough.
Speaker 11: Do y'all know their offensive line are just six feet six,
Speaker 11: three hundred and like, there's twenty.
Speaker 3: Eight pounds and sick boys up there. I mean, these.
Speaker 11: Brothers plug holes as wide as Broadway on a Sunday morning.
Speaker 11: If you can do that against Kansas City's defense, philadelph
Speaker 11: Ing's gonna win the championship.
Speaker 3: But I think you.
Speaker 11: Got to do that because Patrick Maholls on the other side,
Speaker 11: You're gonna have to do that in order to win
Speaker 11: this game.
Speaker 3: Old like he really answered the question. Man, if you
Speaker 3: were bet man, who you putting your money on? I
Speaker 3: would bet on Philly.
Speaker 11: I would take a chance to bet on philp okay,
Speaker 11: but I recognize that I'm taking a change, but I
Speaker 11: will still bet on filter right saying that you look
Speaker 11: at your brother right there.
Speaker 3: Hey, what they do? Hall of Famer man, you both
Speaker 3: what they do? Baby has been.
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, get back you worry. Yes, he's bad, He's bad.
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. It's been a long day and
Speaker 1: even longer trying to get here from over there. But
Speaker 1: thank you for staying. Hopefully we can get you out
Speaker 1: of here surely because I got to get up early
Speaker 1: in the morning again. But uh, a tremendous day. It's Uh.
Speaker 1: It's an honor and a pleasure to follow that guy
Speaker 1: from for a change, and uh and being the first
Speaker 1: Brothers inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: Oh Za, don't you. Don't you prior up here, don't
Speaker 3: do that. I want to know. You have to tell me,
Speaker 3: tell the people out here.
Speaker 9: Understanding and knowing all you've been through, where all come from,
Speaker 9: what it took, the megatin, the NFL, the struggles having
Speaker 9: to lead a game early, What this night means to you.
Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting, Oakes, because I never wanted to
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. I never expected to
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame. This is not something
Speaker 1: I asked for. This is not something I wished for.
Speaker 1: This is not something I prayed for, because when I
Speaker 1: left the game, the only thing anybody ever talked about
Speaker 1: is what I didn't do. Now, I'm okay with that,
Speaker 1: I am I'm okay with what I put on film.
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. But so I never had any expectations.
Speaker 1: This is not like Christmas to where you know, you
Speaker 1: want a skateboard, or you want a bike, or you
Speaker 1: want to compair Jordan's.
Speaker 3: This isn't like that.
Speaker 1: So for me today is kind of interestingly surreal because
Speaker 1: I didn't want this.
Speaker 3: This is not something I wished on myself.
Speaker 1: But you know, being there and seeing my friends that
Speaker 1: are in the Hall of Fame that were more excited
Speaker 1: than seemed like I am right now, but they were
Speaker 1: genuinely happy. My good friend Tero owens. I hope I'm not.
Speaker 1: I hope I'm not doing anything wrong by putting Taro's
Speaker 1: business in the street.
Speaker 3: But too crop, t.
Speaker 1: O and I go way way way back to the
Speaker 1: before he even got in the lead, and he was
Speaker 1: so happy for me that he and I had about
Speaker 1: a good forty five second moment to where we just
Speaker 1: kind of we kind of got wrapped up in each
Speaker 1: other and the history and the time and all that.
Speaker 1: So it's it's been a really good day, Oach. But
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I haven't gotten there yet. It's
Speaker 1: gonna take a little more time to get there. Yeah, congratulations,
Speaker 1: thank you, Thank you. Listens, and I know thank's been
Speaker 1: a long time since you've seen that guy speechless.
Speaker 3: So you know your little brother loves you, man, Yes
Speaker 3: he does.
Speaker 11: When he talks about you, he talks about the man
Speaker 11: that the only man that he's ever hoped to be
Speaker 11: to measure up to because he knows he couldn't do it.
Speaker 11: And anybody that knows you, and anybody knows him knows
Speaker 11: how he feels about you, me personally.
Speaker 3: You know how much love I've always had for you.
Speaker 11: Get some tissue that up here for those of you
Speaker 11: who might be too young to remember. We religiously talk
Speaker 11: about Jerry Rice being the greatest receiver in NFL history.
Speaker 3: Those who know football before t O before Andy Moss.
Speaker 11: We would all mention him because he was that sensational
Speaker 11: of a wide receiver.
Speaker 3: He was big time.
Speaker 11: And so to them watch you transition into the business
Speaker 11: before your brother did. You did a hell of a
Speaker 11: job talking the game of football, teaching the game of football,
Speaker 11: working with cats in the industry is showing us the
Speaker 11: way as well, and had that pedig. There's so many
Speaker 11: people that followed that played in the NFL and now
Speaker 11: doing television. You were doing it before most and you
Speaker 11: were doing exceptionally well. And so for me to see
Speaker 11: you have this day, thank you, Thank you. It is
Speaker 11: well deserved and I'm just happy for you. It's long overdue,
Speaker 11: but it's here. Congratulations, glegulations.
Speaker 2: I think the thing is why I get so emotional,
Speaker 2: and people ask why, I say, because I had GPS
Speaker 2: to get to where I'm going because I had to
Speaker 2: follow him. You see, he did what he did with
Speaker 2: no navigational system. He had no map Quest, he had
Speaker 2: no Google, he had no instruction on manual. I had
Speaker 2: all of that because I got to walk in his footsteps.
Speaker 2: A lot of what I learned, almost everything that I learned,
Speaker 2: I learned from him. My grandfather was very very hard
Speaker 2: on my brother, and I didn't understand why until my
Speaker 2: grandmother said, Barney, why are you so hard on Spanky?
Speaker 3: That's what we call him.
Speaker 2: He said, Mary, everything that little one is going to learn,
Speaker 2: he's going to learn it from him. It's his job,
Speaker 2: because we're not going to be around Mary Long. It's
Speaker 2: his job to teach him how to build man. It's
Speaker 2: his job to teach Himright, I'm wrong, He's going to
Speaker 2: follow everything that he does.
Speaker 3: Because that's what he sees all the time. For my brother.
Speaker 2: To do what he's done with no guidance, with no
Speaker 2: instruction manual, to get to where he got to get
Speaker 2: me to where I got. You guys that heard me say,
Speaker 2: the only man I've ever wanted to be was him.
Speaker 2: He was my hero, He was my role model. He
Speaker 2: taught me to shoot a basketball. He taught me to
Speaker 2: throw a football, he taught me how to catch, he
Speaker 2: taught me how to tie my shoes. I'm not the
Speaker 2: man that's sitting before you today. I watched everything that
Speaker 2: he did. I hung on everything that he said. And
Speaker 2: then you heard me tell the story that he's only
Speaker 2: three years older than I, but he's more like my father.
Speaker 2: My sister's eight years older. She's more like my mother
Speaker 2: because everything that they did was what a mother and
Speaker 2: a father would do for a child.
Speaker 3: I'm not here. I'm not the man that I am.
Speaker 3: I'm not the person that I am. I'm not the
Speaker 3: friend that I am. I'm not the father that I am.
Speaker 2: Without seeing how he did things, he's we're brothers. Were
Speaker 2: a lot of light, but we're very different because I've
Speaker 2: always had to fight. Everything came so easy to him.
Speaker 2: I was so small. They called me pee wee, and
Speaker 2: I just I could never understood. I never understood why
Speaker 2: I couldn't beat him in certain things. He was always
Speaker 2: prouder of things that I did as opposed to what
Speaker 2: he accomplished. He was much more happy when I got
Speaker 2: drafted than he did. He would first pick in the
Speaker 2: seventh round. I mean first the seventh pick in the
Speaker 2: first round. I went to seventh round, one ninety two.
Speaker 2: He was so excited. He would just call and say,
Speaker 2: I mean he just.
Speaker 3: Mad.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't know what this moment means, not just to
Speaker 2: our family. My mom is going to be extremely excited.
Speaker 2: I'm extremely excited. Our high school coach who coached my mom,
Speaker 2: who also coached here, and I but this is a
Speaker 2: and God heard prayers. I didn't even know he was
Speaker 2: listening to. There'll be a time that you and I
Speaker 2: have a conversation. We'll talk mapping everything out, guests that
Speaker 2: you want to bring, and the party and the entertainment
Speaker 2: that you want.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 2: I said it before. We'll give every die take myself
Speaker 2: out of the hall just for you to be in.
Speaker 2: I measured my life in summers. I don't say years,
Speaker 2: say I figure I pretty got hopefully pretty healthy, got
Speaker 2: twenty twenty summers left.
Speaker 3: I'm good now, I'm good. I love you. There's only two.
Speaker 2: Men guys I've ever told that I love my son,
Speaker 2: my brother. It was so hard to keep this a secret.
Speaker 3: Stephen Ay. When I got the call.
Speaker 2: And I had to get him to come to my home,
Speaker 2: and they wanted to go do it in Glenville.
Speaker 3: I said, Bro, I hadn't been to Glenville in thirteen years.
Speaker 2: He gonna know something up if I tell him to
Speaker 2: come down there so I can lure him to the house.
Speaker 3: Still, he hadn't seen me in my home in six years.
Speaker 2: So if I call and I tell him to meet
Speaker 2: me somewhere, he's gonna think something wrong.
Speaker 3: Like Bro, Bro, He's like, what's what's up? I said, Man,
Speaker 3: this come to the house. Is like, I'm in town.
Speaker 3: He's like, you all right? Said yeah, Bro, I'm good.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 2: I just you know I'm in town and you know
Speaker 2: you close by. And he had surgery on his eye.
Speaker 2: He had a detachment ret now he had a bubble
Speaker 2: place in his eye. Almost lost the vision in design
Speaker 2: about three months ago and said he had some blurred
Speaker 2: vision and design. And he went to the doctor and
Speaker 2: the doctor said, we got to perform surgery. They couldn't
Speaker 2: perform surgery that afternoon because he had already eaten, so
Speaker 2: they got him in the next morning. So that's what
Speaker 2: we've been dealing with. Had a lot on my plate
Speaker 2: dealing with that because I worry. I'm the worry of
Speaker 2: the family. I think that's my responsibility now. But bro,
Speaker 2: I'm so happy. I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 3: I'm getting there.
Speaker 1: It's it's hard to explain because you don't want to
Speaker 1: put your emotions on someone else. But you know, and
Speaker 1: I think that the easiest way to explain it is
Speaker 1: we've all experienced. I think Christmas, you have a list
Speaker 1: and you're hoping that you could get two, three, or
Speaker 1: four of those things.
Speaker 3: I never wished for this.
Speaker 1: I never wanted this, and I said it tonight out
Speaker 1: loud for the first time, and the reporter was like,
Speaker 1: what do you mean you never I'm like, man, you
Speaker 1: don't understand. I only wanted to do one thing, and
Speaker 1: that was play. I didn't want to be an All
Speaker 1: pro or a pro bowler or all that. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to play. And I got to do that for
Speaker 1: seven years and I'm good. And then the Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame comes around and they're like, okay, you've been out
Speaker 1: five years. You know Sterling Sharp is on the list
Speaker 1: of twenty five. You know it would be he would
Speaker 1: be a shoe in if he played longer. But they
Speaker 1: never talked about what I did, and I was like,
Speaker 1: if it wasn't enough, wasn't enough.
Speaker 3: I'm okay with that.
Speaker 1: I slept real good before I found out I was
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Frame, and I slept good
Speaker 1: after finding out. But but I really didn't have any
Speaker 1: any aspirations on wanting this. It is a tremendous honor.
Speaker 1: I know exactly what that means. I went through it
Speaker 1: with him, and that was the greatest athletic achievement of
Speaker 1: my entire life, was going on that journey with him
Speaker 1: through the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: Me going in will not exceed when he went in.
Speaker 3: It won't do it. It's not going to come close.
Speaker 1: That was probably the happiest I'd ever been because I
Speaker 1: knew where he came from, going to Savannah State a college.
Speaker 3: He said he wasn't going to go.
Speaker 1: That's one of the times that I told him what
Speaker 1: he was going to do, so I knew how hard
Speaker 1: he fought. And I mean, there's not a lot of
Speaker 1: opportunities for us in sports to where I know what
Speaker 1: stephen A's journey was like to get here, or I
Speaker 1: know what Chad's journey was like to get here.
Speaker 3: I know what his journey was like.
Speaker 1: All my prayers were for him. I'll embarrass him about
Speaker 1: one story. I paid all his bills he was in
Speaker 1: the NFL. I paid all his bills until my daughter
Speaker 1: was born, because that was that was mine, because I
Speaker 1: wanted him to always have better than what I had.
Speaker 1: He had a Mercedes before I did. He couldn't afford one,
Speaker 1: but he was driving one. And then he wanted to
Speaker 1: go to a beach party and he drove my new
Speaker 1: one and wrecked it. Jok yard junk Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: he said, I junk yard, you carve dog?
Speaker 3: Wait what?
Speaker 1: So so you have to understand that that we are.
Speaker 1: We're brothers, but we are We're one side of the
Speaker 1: same coin. We'll say different things differently, and we'll do
Speaker 1: different things differently, but we think alike. And God is
Speaker 1: truly you know. And I will tell you this story,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be quiet. A guy said to me,
Speaker 1: if you go into Hall of Fame, are you going
Speaker 1: to do like everybody else? And thank God? Because you
Speaker 1: think God wanted you to be a hall of famer.
Speaker 1: If there is a God, and I said this, I said,
Speaker 1: my own brother stood up and said, if you would
Speaker 1: have played longer, there's no question in my mind that
Speaker 1: we would be the first brothers in the Pro Football
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3: That was in twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Since he said that I have not had one catch,
Speaker 1: I have not gained one yard, and I have not
Speaker 1: scored one touchdown. And we are the first brothers in
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So you tell me,
Speaker 1: if there's a God and I should give him some glory,
Speaker 1: and so you know for me that that is what
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm probably most proud of. Is everybody used
Speaker 1: to say, you know, Shannon, stop trying to be like him.
Speaker 1: You can't be like him, Shannon. Stop trying to do
Speaker 1: what he does. Shannon, you can't do what he does.
Speaker 3: Shannon.
Speaker 1: Stop trying to imitate him. Shannon, be you, old man, Shannon.
Speaker 1: I am so happy to say he didn't follow me around.
Speaker 1: I followed him.
Speaker 2: Class of twenty twenty five Pro Football Hall of Famer
Speaker 2: Stirley Sharp.
Speaker 6: Joining us now Night Cap, Michael Pittman Junior, Sirs.
Speaker 3: Frumbling around here here we go. How you doing good?
Speaker 10: Good?
Speaker 2: Congratulations on a great season individually, not the season that
Speaker 2: you wanted to have team wise. What do you guys
Speaker 2: need to do in order to have success when you're
Speaker 2: in the playoffs and you're contending for a championship.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean that's a really really tough question.
Speaker 8: But uh wait wait wait wait wait, be honest, anything correct?
Speaker 3: Not here?
Speaker 13: Okay, okay me straight up, like we in the Bober
Speaker 13: shop now, all right, So.
Speaker 12: We have to have those tough conversations as you know,
Speaker 12: like just like as men, right, and and we need
Speaker 12: to call guys up right, like just like not like
Speaker 12: calling them out, I just like call them up to
Speaker 12: to like we expect more. Yeah, and and that starts
Speaker 12: with everybody, like that starts with me, That starts with
Speaker 12: every single person.
Speaker 3: And uh, we just got to find.
Speaker 12: Ways to close that gap because there's so many games
Speaker 12: that like, you know, like just that we were so
Speaker 12: closed and we just let it slip.
Speaker 8: Now, I got a question now you you speak about
Speaker 8: that gap, right, And obviously everyone's goal at the beginning
Speaker 8: of the season is you want to compete to be
Speaker 8: in San Francisco this year coming up next year. Obviously,
Speaker 8: what gaps do you think need to be filled in
Speaker 8: from an acquisition standpoint, offensively or defensively that can help
Speaker 8: you guys get to that end goal.
Speaker 12: Honestly, I think that we have a lot of our
Speaker 12: core guys, right, and like before I can focus on
Speaker 12: anybody else, like I got to focus on everything that
Speaker 12: I got to do, Like I didn't have my best season.
Speaker 12: I mean, now there are some things that happened, but
Speaker 12: just like focusing like all myself, like I have to
Speaker 12: do things to produce in any type of situation in jury,
Speaker 12: like just like you know, just like guys are like.
Speaker 3: Out there hurt too. Right, There was a lot made
Speaker 3: of the situation.
Speaker 2: I think it was the Texans game on your quarterback scrambled.
Speaker 2: He ended up taking himself out of the game. I
Speaker 2: guess there was a team meeting. There were conversations that
Speaker 2: were had. The coach ended up benching in for a
Speaker 2: couple of games. We couple he got bitched one game,
Speaker 2: a couple of games, and then I think black oldfield
Speaker 2: in or whomever came in for what was those conversations Like,
Speaker 2: because I'm telling you, as a player that been in
Speaker 2: the locker room has been a leader that's frowned upon
Speaker 2: when we feel a guy left us out there to
Speaker 2: drive because the one thing it's kind of like we adopted.
Speaker 3: There's nothing compared to the military.
Speaker 2: So military folks, don't get me wrong, but it's like
Speaker 2: we leave no man behind. Is that we're out here together.
Speaker 2: We're gonna fight together, we're gonna win together, we're gonna
Speaker 2: lose together. But the one thing we're not gonna do
Speaker 2: is lead the other guys behind. What was that conversation
Speaker 2: that you had to have with your quarterback because I
Speaker 2: believe he's gonna be there for an extended period of time,
Speaker 2: Michael Pilman Junior, and you know you guys are going
Speaker 2: to need him.
Speaker 12: Yeah, we had a so we actually had all of
Speaker 12: our team, so all of our team leaders from every
Speaker 12: single position group, and we kind of had an hour
Speaker 12: long meeting and we talked about everything, like it wasn't
Speaker 12: just centered around now like it was every everybody. But
Speaker 12: I think that was a good learning experience for him
Speaker 12: to know that that is not the standard and that
Speaker 12: he can't do that and stuff like that. So it's
Speaker 12: all just learning. And I think that he handled that
Speaker 12: period of time well because everybody was like a crashing
Speaker 12: on them, right, So we saw him show up earlier,
Speaker 12: We saw him put in more work and like kind
Speaker 12: of do the things necessary to kind of earn everybody's trust.
Speaker 3: That I like that.
Speaker 2: I like that did you notice the different from that
Speaker 2: time but before that to the time that happened to
Speaker 2: after that, did you notice a noticeable improvement any absolutely,
Speaker 2: like like from like just like after that benching, I
Speaker 2: felt like he came out and he really was playing
Speaker 2: a lot better.
Speaker 3: You know, I got a question people at home, people
Speaker 3: that are watching.
Speaker 8: We always get to see the finished product, right, the
Speaker 8: finished product of a player on what they do you
Speaker 8: get to see them on Sundays. What do you think
Speaker 8: you need to work on on as far as your
Speaker 8: game is concerned, and how you can better being a
Speaker 8: better receiver?
Speaker 3: Yea, I know you're not where you want to be.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 12: I think that my next step is being able to
Speaker 12: recognize coverage and at a level that a quarterback can, right,
Speaker 12: because like I mean, like I can see coverage, but
Speaker 12: but like I see like half of the field, right,
Speaker 12: and and I'm not as good as like a like
Speaker 12: just like a Patrick Mahomes obviously, because like he can
Speaker 12: read the entire field and right quickly.
Speaker 3: So just getting like to that point.
Speaker 13: Yeah yeah, an anytime before you go anytime, if you
Speaker 13: get to that point, the game slows down tremendously, no
Speaker 13: matter how many bluffs, no matter how many disguises they do,
Speaker 13: you already know what's coming based off tennessees and down
Speaker 13: in distance.
Speaker 3: But when you get to that point where you go
Speaker 3: love it. Yeah, let me ask you a question.
Speaker 2: When you go outside and you line up, are you
Speaker 2: looking across the field at the other side to see
Speaker 2: what's going on over there?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 12: So so well, I mean I'm really focused on corners,
Speaker 12: the nickel safe okay, right right, And and then like
Speaker 12: if it's corner backer safety, like if it's nickel dime
Speaker 12: or like if that backers like are like mugged up,
Speaker 12: like it's gonna be pressure. But rarely do I ever
Speaker 12: get to scan the whole field because like I'm thinking
Speaker 12: about hey, like I'm gonna give them like right here,
Speaker 12: he brings his hands up, like I'm gonna do this
Speaker 12: if that doesn't work, and I gotta do that.
Speaker 2: So let mesh you a question, Like we broke it down, okay,
Speaker 2: down in distance area of the field for who they
Speaker 2: have on the field, and it would dictate kunt of
Speaker 2: the coverage. Now they might switch it up, but down
Speaker 2: in distance where we on the field, we know eighty
Speaker 2: five percent of the time they like to run this
Speaker 2: down in justice area of the field where we are.
Speaker 2: We backed up, we had midfield, were in plus territory.
Speaker 2: We're in the red zone. So that gave me a
Speaker 2: little bit of an insight. Now I was different because
Speaker 2: I learned as a tight end. Because I'm looking at
Speaker 2: for I'm looking at trucks. They're gonna play certain fronts,
Speaker 2: they're gonna play certain coverage just behind certain front Now
Speaker 2: you're not really looking at that.
Speaker 3: So now if I just if you.
Speaker 2: Like take a look back, like, okay, they got four
Speaker 2: down line, but okay, blah blah blah, they got they're
Speaker 2: playing nickel four two five, Okay, they playing they're playing dime,
Speaker 2: they're playing for one six.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 6: It'll give you a chip, it'll give you a hand
Speaker 6: up of what the potentially not always don't go chasing ghosts,
Speaker 6: but you'll have an extra just that extra step and
Speaker 6: you know sometime a half an it all it takes
Speaker 6: between you being open. Oh yeah, yeah that's all. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 6: definitely thank you for that.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So what you're doing down from Super Bowl? What
Speaker 3: are you promoted? Yeah? So I'm here with Toyota.
Speaker 12: I've actually been working with them for a whole year now,
Speaker 12: So we're down here supporting the future generation of athletes.
Speaker 12: And then they also have something for fans here and
Speaker 12: the Super Bowl experience where they can go sit in
Speaker 12: cars with Team Toyota athletes. So like, just like it's
Speaker 12: a really cool deal.
Speaker 2: That's dope. That's dope. Hey, Michael, appreciate you. Tell your
Speaker 2: dad to say hello. Absolutely, glad you're doing well. Band
Speaker 2: congratulation continues to says, oh, and good luck next year, man, hey,
Speaker 2: better when the Colts in the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 6: Jayde Daniels, who's going to be the runaway rookie the
Speaker 6: other year after an outstanding season, he did something very
Speaker 6: very unique that very few rookies have ever done. He's
Speaker 6: led his team to two road playoff wins, as did
Speaker 6: the facto leader. He wasn't relying on his defense. They
Speaker 6: put a lot on his plate and he ate everything.
Speaker 6: I expect to see big things from this young man
Speaker 6: in the future. Congratulations on a great Seaton and Jayden,
Speaker 6: when you look at what you've done, the expectations now
Speaker 6: you have to improve and build on what you've done.
Speaker 6: You can't become complacent for sure, because you understand what
Speaker 6: is expected of you now only because they're talking about Man.
Speaker 3: This guy, who's to say he's not a top five quarterback.
Speaker 2: As we sit here and speak currently, what does Jade
Speaker 2: and Daniels need to do to improve to make sure
Speaker 2: this year wasn't a fluke?
Speaker 3: Man. I just think, like you said, the only make complacent.
Speaker 5: And I think the veterans that I had, like one
Speaker 5: person I really lean on a lot as Bobby Wagoner wags.
Speaker 3: So that's my that's my guy. Man.
Speaker 5: We have conversations and he just teaching me a little things.
Speaker 5: I remember like it shout out to him. I remember
Speaker 5: like we played a couple of games and that road again,
Speaker 5: we'll get back late, you know, you tired and everything,
Speaker 5: and he pulled me aside like, man, let's go get
Speaker 5: let's go get these tubs. So we were up there
Speaker 5: at like three o'clock in the morning making sure your
Speaker 5: body's back right.
Speaker 3: But just little stuff like that is like never thinking
Speaker 3: that you know too much.
Speaker 5: There's always room to grow, So I mean outside you
Speaker 5: always get better technically and stuff like that. It's a blessing.
Speaker 5: I get to be in the system that I was
Speaker 5: in Cliff for another year. Yes, so I can improve
Speaker 5: on that within that system, but just learning how to
Speaker 5: be a pro.
Speaker 3: You know, it's my first full all.
Speaker 5: Season, so I was like, okay, I got to figure
Speaker 5: out have a schedule like this, Well, I'm gonna do this,
Speaker 5: my ramp up period, O TA stuff like that, and
Speaker 5: just always have.
Speaker 3: A hunger to get better.
Speaker 2: How do you block out the noise, because obviously there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a lot that comes along with what you've
Speaker 2: been able to do your quarterback in the NFL. We
Speaker 2: know what comes along with the most important position in
Speaker 2: all of pro sports. So now the endorsement is gonna come.
Speaker 2: Now more fame, more adulation, more praise. Everybody. Hey, come,
Speaker 2: what's up? Everybody freeing? Now everybody's a family member now.
Speaker 2: And as your mom saying, she's like, look, I know
Speaker 2: the women are coming. Hey, my son got a hole.
Speaker 2: I got one through that. I'm still throwing them all
Speaker 2: out the way. How do you keep level head and
Speaker 2: to understand that, Yes, I understand what comes along with it,
Speaker 2: James Daniels, but I don't get outside of who I am.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 5: I just think it comes, like you said, supports ism, mom, dad,
Speaker 5: like friends, family, everybody, knows me for me and it's
Speaker 5: not here like okay, let me ride his hotel and
Speaker 5: stuff like that. So that's a big part. But also
Speaker 5: it's a time to play for everything. It's gonna be
Speaker 5: a time to have fun. It's gonna be a time
Speaker 5: to go out there and party, you know, make some money,
Speaker 5: do this, that and the third.
Speaker 3: But the main thing, man, none of this happened.
Speaker 5: You don't ball on the field, So that's the main thing,
Speaker 5: Like how do I get better to continue to success?
Speaker 5: And knowing like all right, first year is that like
Speaker 5: everybody gonna have a full all season to watch it
Speaker 5: fiel for year two. So it's like, man, I got
Speaker 5: to improve on different things and get better myself.
Speaker 9: Listen when you talk about that improvement, right, you guys
Speaker 9: were able to make the NFC Championship. What pieces to
Speaker 9: the puzzle do you think you get? You guys need
Speaker 9: to add to make your job a little easier. So
Speaker 9: the bulk or the weight of getting things done isn't
Speaker 9: always on your shoulders.
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I think for us it's like if you
Speaker 5: look at I think I've seen something. We got like
Speaker 5: twenty some free agents like that on the team, So
Speaker 5: I mean we gotta we gotta go. We got fact
Speaker 5: so I think overall, just in general, man, we gotta
Speaker 5: we gotta get some people, and we got bring people back.
Speaker 3: But I feels on my job, man, My job is
Speaker 3: to get better.
Speaker 5: Whatever they bring in, we hold them to this standard
Speaker 5: that we set with DQ and them set and I
Speaker 5: let the front office do what theyre doing.
Speaker 3: Go to the stage right.
Speaker 2: Now, is the San Francisco forty nine US All Pro linebacker,
Speaker 2: one of the best defensive players in all the football
Speaker 2: Fred Water?
Speaker 3: What happened this year?
Speaker 2: Because you got y'all, you guys were in this situation
Speaker 2: us last year. This year some injuries. What happened?
Speaker 3: What does the forty nine ers need to do to
Speaker 3: get back in this position? And what happened this year?
Speaker 14: Yeah, I mean everybody talks about the injuries, right, I
Speaker 14: think it just when you go, when you go through
Speaker 14: the whole year, things just unraveled at the exact wrong time.
Speaker 3: I think you call it. Right. We thought we had
Speaker 3: a chance to really get back on track mid season.
Speaker 14: We get Christian back, right, you know, we win a
Speaker 14: big game on the road against Buccaneers Buffalo. We think
Speaker 14: we can come bounce back off their bad game against
Speaker 14: Green Bay, he gets hurt. We lose guys on the
Speaker 14: d line, we lose TRMP and lose being like all
Speaker 14: these all these injuries kind of just happened at the
Speaker 14: wrong time, and we just weren't able to continue to
Speaker 14: compete at a high level. So we got to get back, man.
Speaker 14: We got to get back on track this off season,
Speaker 14: get guys healthy and get that get that dog back
Speaker 14: in us.
Speaker 8: Now, when you when you think about the off season,
Speaker 8: right and there are there any pieces, any acquisitions that
Speaker 8: you see fit that can help and Boaster and the
Speaker 8: defense side of the ball of the office, decide, are you.
Speaker 3: Are you happy with the core guys you guys have.
Speaker 14: I mean, I see Miles Garrett asking for a trade.
Speaker 3: He look, man, we were coumping it up at the
Speaker 3: Throw Bowl. Pay somewhere you want to. I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I love my team.
Speaker 14: I love who we have, Right, you always look at
Speaker 14: for more, more pieces, you know, more improvement. Of course,
Speaker 14: you know we need improvement going in the next season,
Speaker 14: of course, based.
Speaker 3: On the season we have. But I love everybody that
Speaker 3: we got in our locker room.
Speaker 14: It's gonna take everybody just taking a look in the
Speaker 14: mirror and just taking that next step, go on the
Speaker 14: next season.
Speaker 3: The volume
