Nigga foods go straight from the lamb. 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.640 You said you were disappointed that your former coach was 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.880 there when you got there, y'all came in together. If 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:49.240 I'm not mistaken, Ron Rivera didn't call you when he. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.240 Was in Washington. Why did that upset you so much? 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.880 That was my dog, Like we've been through so much. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.039 I always hear his voice. 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.680 Somebody he yeah, kiddo, you know man? 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:04.640 This that like I say this respectfully. 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:12.800 He raised me and I raised him. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.360 He was a rookie head coach. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:16.200 I was a rookie player. 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.880 I was not going to allow him to fail in Carolina, 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.880 not under my watch, because there's an oath and as 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.279 it's just in us as athletes that when somebody takes 0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:31.720 a chance on you, no matter what round it is, 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:38.480 you feel obligated to give because they've no matter what 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.560 you want to say, they've allowed you the opportunity to 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:48.640 take care of your bloodline. So when what was happened 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.880 or what had happened in Carolina with me and coach Vera, 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:56.919 we had numerous talks and discussions. 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.680 About the game of football and about life. 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.160 So when I was going through the transition of being 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.599 out of Carolina, I was like, yo, at least I 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.159 was damn coach and it wasn't just him. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:09.240 See that's the thing. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.320 I can't blame a head coach because he may not 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:19.279 have picking power. But Marty Herniey the same thing he was. 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:25.120 He drafted me he was in DC and he said, no, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.520 it's I'm gonna take it a step further. The head 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.520 trainer that they had, Ryan Vermilion, was there. 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:32.640 Nobody. 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:38.520 So me going through this whole resurgence like yo, like damn, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:39.719 I kept. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:43.440 Asking my age and I'm like, Yo, they ag't call Washington, 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:44.480 ain't called. 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.239 Know what's going on. So maybe you weren't as close 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.240 as you previously thought. 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:50.520 Man. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:51.560 I'm an action person. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:55.160 Bro, I'm an action person, and I teach my children 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:56.520 this man. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.800 I could tell you anything, but if. 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.839 I don't prove on a day today basis that I 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:01.800 loved what I showed you. 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.200 Oh, that don't mean nothing to me. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:06.880 Have you had a conversation with him? Have you spoken 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.240 to him? No, sir, not like we said now, it's 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:09.800 not no beef. 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.600 And I don't want nobody to kind of take what 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.240 I'm saying is that I'm angry because there was a 0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:16.560 business decision that has to be made and I was 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.880 and I knew I was coming. 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:23.480 Off a shoulder injury. Is that that's all it was. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.720 It was like for me to just say, hey, kiddo, 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:30.000 how you doing, Hey, how you feeling? Though, Let's come 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.560 up here for a physical let me really do a 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:33.000 deep die. 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:35.800 That's the relationship we had. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.080 And it was the things. And I told Coach r Vera. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.520 I was like, Yo, this was in Carolina. I was like, 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:42.560 in any. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:48.160 Short yarded situation, coach, give me the fucking ball. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.080 Harriet lady and gentlemen, Raheem Morris. 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:58.480 And the man changed the script. 0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:02.360 Guys, I just want to know, do you need some 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:03.720 fresh legs out there at camp. 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:05.000 Say that again. 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.040 When you need some fresh leg I can still go. 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:07.640 I promise you. 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:09.480 I tell uncle all the time, I still got it. 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.120 Listen, even at fifty six, I'll tell. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:16.040 You this o Cho definitely can give me a couple 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:16.680 of releases. 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.800 There we go, and then we're gonna stop right there. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.559 Guys, got no route. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.280 You know when you when you talk about quarterbacks, we 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.200 understand how important that position is, obviously in order to 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:31.680 sustain a consistent success for any team. If you look 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.520 at the top teams in the NFL, it always come 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:37.920 down to the quarterback position. Is there a disconnect in 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.720 any way with the quarterback competing with each other, understanding 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.640 the pressures that are on Kirk Cousins if he doesn't 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.720 play well that in jobs in jeopardy. 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.240 I think I think the message was clear coming in. 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.240 It was open, it was honest, It was clear. Kurt's 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.720 at started. Kurt's gonna take us to places that we 0:08:53.760 --> 0:08:56.320 want to go to. Okay, and Michael's gonna come in 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.760 and he's gonna watch what it looks like, what it 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.960 feels like. He wants to see what it looked like 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.120 when you had your quarterbacks and your day with John Lway. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:04.640 You want to see what it looked like. You ain't 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.040 having no quarterbacks, but it would look. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:06.800 Like to go out there. 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.480 You won super Bowls at two different stops. You've been 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.640 an assistant on a lot of different head coaches. What 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.360 is the common nominator between winning and losing? 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:24.200 The people? 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.920 It's the people first business and everything we do. When 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.040 you were a Raven, I watched it live in hand. 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:32.679 I came into that stadium and I watched the confidence 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.120 and the people. I watched Ray Lewis talk smack. I 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.440 watched you talk smack, and we went in there like man, 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:38.920 we about to beat him. And then y'all let us 0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.679 know after the game that y'all wasn't And it was 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:44.800 the people that was involved with the organizations. It was 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.200 all about that. And here we building a people first 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.920 business and we're doing it with us, we're doing our 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.600 people with our fans, and like, I just think that's 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:54.480 just the messaging, Like you got to have that type 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:56.960 of mentality. It's got to be a people first mentality. 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.520 It has to be at all times in everything we do. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:01.679 We're talking about what the fans were talking about, what 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.760 our community, we're talking about in the building. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.400 We're talking about with myself and Terry Finning. 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.120 On our relationship are at the blank and how he 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.800 communicates with everybody, how we go about our whole process. 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:12.800 It's the it's the people. It's simple. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.120 Obviously, you had other opportunities. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.280 How do you convince coaches that look like you that 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:21.880 don't feel like that opportunity is ever gonna come because 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.520 you had to think about it. There are a fifteen 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.120 year gap between the time that you were a head 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:27.880 coach into it that you got it again, and you 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.280 had interviews and did you ever think like, Man, I 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.240 don't know if I'm going to ever get another chance. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:33.920 To be a head coach again. 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.000 Say you're ready to say this? It's real simple for me, right, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.800 I was a thirty two year old head coach. 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:46.400 And I did it again, and people were telling me 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.760 you should have had it a long time ago. I 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.480 don't give a damn what you people were saying. I'm 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:53.640 gonna work for it. I'm gonna go get it, and 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.080 when it happens, I'm gonna be ready. So I'm gona 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.280 I'm gonna keep developing my skill set that when it 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.600 happens again, it's going to be no denying on what 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.760 you can and how you going to be able to 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.160 do it and go about your business. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.359 And I don't give it. Damn what color I am? 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.160 Yeah, results don't know color like it? Like it. You 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:14.000 look at what you've done. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.640 You got Grady Jarrett, you bring him back, You signed 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.760 Justin Simmons, you signed Matthew Judon, You just gave AJ 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.960 Terrell boatload of money. You secure lock him up. I 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:26.560 drafted him to don't forget you did. You did draft him. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.520 So what is the expectations of this defense? Considering you've 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.480 got guys that have been Pro Bowls, that have been 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.480 to the All Pro. Ajterrell is one of the better 0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.720 young corners in the league. And we know Geredy Jared 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.000 is one of the outstanding defensive linemen in the league. 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.400 What is the expectation that's your area of expertise. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.760 As you know, as you know, it's really simple, right, 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:49.320 stats are for losers. Yes, there are expectations that go 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.480 out there and beat dogs. Right, we gotta find ways 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:55.240 to affect the quarterback and make them just feel uncomfortable 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:57.280 at all times. And once you find a way to 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.400 make them uncomfortable, and you dominate rundowns and get the 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:00.880 ball back. 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:02.720 Then just go watch your offense shine. 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:03.120 Right. 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.480 That's what winning teams do. That's how you form your identity. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.120 That's how you make things move. That's how the needle moves. 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.120 And the next thing you talking about it on your 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.160 shows about the stats. We don't care about none of that. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.040 We care about the dog mentality that's gonna take to 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.280 get there. That's what our that's what our goal is. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.479 That's what that's that's what the expectations are from the Seaport. 0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.120 Let's put some hands together for MS flow j sign. 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.880 Have a seat, have a seat, whatever you want to 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:29.920 say it, wherever you want to say it. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:34.320 How you doing. 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.000 I'm good, I'm good, I'm good. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:37.680 I don't know if people know this, but you're from 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.760 the Seaport. You grew up about three outside of here 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:40.680 in Savannah, Georgia. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:42.600 Flying. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:44.360 That's what we do with the Seaport. 0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:47.920 Let me ask you this, how do you balance the 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.880 two because obviously you're good at this rap game. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.559 You play basketball at an elite level. 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.120 What's the schedule how do you find time to because 0:12:57.160 --> 0:13:01.160 basketball you're on a basketball scholarship, but you still this 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.720 is your passion also, So how do you balance that? 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:07.960 I mean it is hard, but I mean it's not impossible, right, 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.760 You just gotta It's just time management. But I know 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.320 in the summer, I got to take full advantage of 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.240 my time in music, you know what I'm saying. So 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.520 I just try to go full throttle while still working 0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:19.240 out and trying to get better in the off season 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.959 because like during the season, Coach Mokey like, all right, 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:22.360 this is my. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.280 Time, you know what I'm saying. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.360 That was kind of that was kind of our like, 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:27.840 you know, that was kind of hard deal. Like, you know, 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.960 you give me everything you got in the season. In 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.840 the summer, I'm gonna let you rock and do your music. 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.080 So, yeah, tell us the story. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.120 I saw you over at Cannes and you was telling 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.520 the story that you had a concert one night. You 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.160 had to do the concert, but you had to fly back, 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.400 got back earlier in the morning, you were sleeping, you 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.360 were tired, but you know you had to get it 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:48.360 because Coach Mokey was gonna be on yo. 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:49.760 You know what had you not? 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:50.640 Yeah? 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.320 No, So what happened was Rod Wave. He gave me 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.800 that like the chance to open up for him. In Atlanta, 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.160 So we had a game that night. The next day 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.840 after games, we always have off days. Flew to Atlanta 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.120 on my off day and then I drove back seven 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.120 hours to go to br Right and like I'm already knowing. 0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:09.000 It's a stigma of. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.880 Like, nah, she can't do both for real, Like you 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.319 know what I'm saying. So I don't even want to 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.760 give people a thought to even be like, oh, she 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.080 came to practice and she was tired. When I came 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.200 to prite, I was like bouncing off the walls for real, 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.440 because I knew that I had to come in and 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:23.120 kill you know what I'm saying. And I was the 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:25.240 first one in the gym last went out like always. 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.120 So I mean my mindset, you know what I'm saying. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.280 I think it's more mind over matter. I think your 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.600 mind can make you do things that your body sometimes 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:34.760 won't allow when you determine, And that's how I feel 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.520 like I work all the time. 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:39.520 You know what, we all have dreams as when we're 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.520 growing up as kids. Obviously, my dream I wanted to 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:45.720 be an NFL player. One of your dreams, I'm sure 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:48.080 is to play in the w NBA where you continue 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:53.720 to your path as far as I don't I don't 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.960 want to work the right way actually wanting to rap 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.040 as well and be able to balance both at the 0:14:59.080 --> 0:14:59.760 highest level. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.040 Yeah, I think it'll be easier, honestly, because you know, 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.640 I don't have much commitment. 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.800 Yeah, Like, oh my gosh. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.840 With school, you got you got school first of all, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.720 then you got tutoring sessions and all of that, and 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.320 you got weights and you got all the other you know, 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.560 requirements of the athlete, practice everything. So I think it'll 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.280 be easier, you know what I'm saying, to be able 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:21.040 to build my schedule how I want to do. My 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:24.160 goal is to like play an arena during the day 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.280 and then sell out that same arena at night, like 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:27.200 playing basketball. 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:28.760 So that's what what I'm talking about. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.240 That's like, if you have to have worked that out 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:33.440 with the coach, I don't know if she's gonna be 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:34.080 going for that one. 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:34.720 She better go. 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.760 When did you realize that you could rap? 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.000 When I was on America's Got Talent? I was on 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:46.160 America's Got Talent when I was about fourteen, and I 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.080 got the Golden buzzer and like Simon Cowell came to 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:50.240 the back and he was like, you know, one. 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:51.240 Day you could be a superstar. 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.400 And I'm like, but I'm like, that's samic Cowe, Like 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.120 he don't even like singers for real life. So him 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:00.200 telling like a young black girl that she can like 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.240 he sees some type of super start powering her, that 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.600 kind of just you know, just gave me the confidence 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.720 that I could do it. Because like right before America's 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:08.280 Got Talent, I was on the rap game with Jamaine 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.560 It Free and I lost, and so that was like 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.800 when I lost that, I went into my room and 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:15.040 I just wrote all day. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:16.920 And then America Got Talent called. 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:18.520 And I was ready for the opportunity and I got 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:20.800 that validation that I kind of needed as a fourteen 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.120 year old. And ever since then, nobody could tell me 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:23.720 nothing for sure. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:33.920 Our last guest of the night, guys, he really doesn't 0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.880 need any introduction. You heard me mentioning on several occasions. 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:38.680 He was the guy that raised me. He was the 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:41.480 guy that I wanted to be the most, like my 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:54.280 brother Sterling Shark. 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.960 I was a real big fan of the show. 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:04.840 Until I had to follow the discussion about angle. My 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:07.800 religion went around me to be around people bad. So 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:13.720 but I'm glad to be here. Do you realize I 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.320 grew up with him, but tonight was the first time 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:18.080 I met him. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:18.879 Yeah. 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:22.600 Yeah, And I've always been a big fan.
