Speaker 1: So he and I were talking before the show and

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: he's definitely reached that OG status. Drafted to the Chicago

10
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: Bears out of William and Mary. Not too many guys

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: coming out of William and Mary lasting as long as

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: you did, so congratulations on that. But now you're Houston

Speaker 2: To the show. I appreciate you all having me.

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: All right, you know, let's get right into it. Let's

16
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: talk about just how things have changed with this organization.

17
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: You know, I know you weren't here during some of

18
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: the down times, but being in the league you kind

19
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: of knew what was going on with Houston and seeing

20
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: and feeling and being a big part of the excitement.

21
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 1: Can you just kind of talk about the energy around

22
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: the stadium, around the stadium, I mean last game, I

23
00:00:55,960 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: couldn't hear myself thinking which was nice in the around

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: the building. It definitely really positive energy from the top down.

25
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: Obviously it helps when when when you're winning, nice to

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: go on a couple game winning street hopefully keep that

27
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: energy going. But I could tell when I first got

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: here earlier in the year just being around every department,

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: like equipment, like the cafeteria. Just a very positive, positive

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: place to be in this good organization.

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got an interesting perspective on things. Seven years

32
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 3: for seven years of your career with the Chicago Bears.

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: So you've played the Texans a few times last year,

34
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: two years before that during the COVID season, I think

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: your rookie year that the Bears were here. You've seen

36
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: him from Afart, You've been in that organization. You have

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of familiarity with them. But

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: you bring up that positivity, positivity. What did you know

39
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: about Demico Ryans before you actually came here, Because he'd

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: made a name for himself in the coaching ranks with

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: what he'd done in San Francisco, And everybody around here

42
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: knows this guy to your left, played with the guy

43
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 3: I covered him here. I've been here since two thousand

44
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: and nine. We knew about him in our own way.

45
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: But you've got a unique perspective in that regard, don't you.

46
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: To be honest, I didn't know too much about him personally. Obviously,

48
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: his defenses have been top of the league for a

49
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: number of years, so obviously had great respect for that.

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: I played with the player. You might have played with

51
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: him too, Cherck McManus.

52
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, but I know exactly who you.

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, So when I told him I was coming here,

54
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: he was excited and he said, Demiko is one of

55
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: the best leaders he's ever been around as a player,

56
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: and so that was kind of like what I was

57
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: expecting coming in, and it's hell true so far. You know,

58
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: you talk about being a leader, and obviously to last

59
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: this long you should have you have leadership qualities. Can

60
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: you just kind of talk about your journey from William

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and Mary. I also went to a small school rights here,

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: so you know, us guys coming in the back door,

63
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: just kind of talk about what your experience was from

64
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: draft and how you've been able to last so long

65
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So I've been able to last a

66
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: lot of luck. Obviously, I haven't been injured take serious

67
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: injuries to the lower body, Special Teams have took very

68
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 1: serious from from the beginning of my career, and I

69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: owe that a lot to just some of the bets

70
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: I had when I when I came in my rookie

71
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: year was was pretty tough. At one point in the season,

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: I had more penalties and tackles, and that was like

73
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: the first five weeks. And I remember my Special Teams

74
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: coach sit me down and just telling me, like, you

75
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: gotta you gotta get it right, and Scherk and I

76
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: guy Chris Prasinski and a couple couple veterans who had

77
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: kind of had a similar type of role took me

78
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: under their wing and helped me out and then hold

79
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: on what type of penalties were talking about head hunting penalties.

80
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: I wish, I wish it's just dumb off side kick off.

81
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: I got blocking the back. I think first game of

82
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: the year against Houston, I gotta blocking them back against

83
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: one of my old teammates, John Grimes, he was here

84
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: for like.

85
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: Four or five years.

86
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 3: I think, good running back.

87
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah it was good. So, yeah, it was.

88
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: It was tough early on, but a lot of that

89
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: stuff helped me to understand what I got to do,

90
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: what I gotta work on. And I'll say this, and

91
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying it because you're sitting here, but

92
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: that says a lot about you. Because typically when you're

93
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: a late round pick like I was, you're young. If

94
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: you're making mistakes, eventually they just like forget about this guy.

95
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: But for them to keep you and for the coach

96
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: to call you in and say, hey, this is what

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: you need to change up, that means they saw the positive.

98
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

99
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: They saw the positive in you and you that there

100
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: was there was gonna they were gonna benefit from keeping

101
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: you around.

102
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

103
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: And again a lot of that, as I said earlier

104
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: about the injuries, is is luck and you know, favor.

105
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: I attribute a lot of that to you know, God's

106
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: plan for my life too, and so yeah, thankfully I'm

107
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: still here and got football life.

108
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: Hey, I did some research on you and you two

109
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 3: have a bit of a connection because the story you

110
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: just referenced. I don't know if you you bring him

111
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 3: up in it, but Richard high Tower somebody very very

112
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: important to you. You know, he was here while ND

113
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: was a player in two thousand and six, two thousand

114
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: and seven, he was just getting started. He was even

115
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 3: on the other side of the building, like over in

116
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 3: the business op side before he got into coaching. What's

117
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 3: that guy doing? You know, what did that guy do

118
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: for you in your career? Because he's now, you know,

119
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 3: over in San Francisco doing fantastic things as a special

120
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: teams coordinator there obviously coached with Tamika. There's a background there.

121
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 3: What does he mean to you?

122
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's certain coaches who give you confidence in yourself

123
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: just based on the confidence they have in you. And

124
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: as a rookie, he kind of he got and gave

125
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: that to me. He kind of told me at one

126
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: point like, hey, you can play ten years if you

127
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: want to, And just hearing that and taking that to

128
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: heart has kind of helped me through a lot of

129
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: the hard times I've had. And then he actually came

130
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: back to Chicago Chicago last year as a special teams

131
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: coordinator and it's kind of like the same thing. Gave

132
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: me a lot of freedom to go out there and

133
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: just play fast and play free, and uh, just as

134
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: a man, you know, really good man.

135
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: Obviously you've been around him, Yeah.

136
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean he was very young when I was here,

137
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: but and he was one of those guys, you're like,

138
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: you know what, he has big things. He's going to

139
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: be in this league, a league along time time. And

140
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: I actually thought he was going to be a head

141
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: coach at some point. I mean, so young enough to

142
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: if that's going to be his path. But you know,

143
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, and you got to deal with him

144
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: after he established himself as a coach because when I

145
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: was here, he was more quality control. Yeah, and like

146
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel, the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

147
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: You were here in the embryonic stages for all Daniels

148
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan.

149
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

150
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, So for him to see that and you says

151
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot about a lot about him and you. Then

152
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: let's go back to college. I had a buddy, a

153
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: real good friend of mine, Sean Barber, went to Richmond,

154
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: and you know he was always talking about their conference,

155
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: in their league when they played, said they were the

156
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: best ever. Was that your main rival? Or was it

157
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: jmu or who's William and Mary's main rival? It is

158
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: did y'all did you beat them?

159
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 2: Junior? Four years there? Uh?

160
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: For those who can see, no, I'm not because I

161
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: was hoping to get some troll bait for my boys,

162
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: Sean Barber. So they got you all four years, never beat,

163
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: never beat rich Man, and I still can't show my face.

164
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: Actually, it's funny because.

165
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: You grew up right right in between DC and Richmond.

166
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Correct Fredericksburg, right down ninety five. Mike Tomlin obviously went

167
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to Women and Mary and Uh. When I was coming

168
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: out for the draft, I saw him, I think it

169
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: was at the combine, and I shake hands with him,

170
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and the first thing he says to me is, how

171
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: come you never be Richmond?

172
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: And I kind of start.

173
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: There like gigle, you know whatever, not giggle, but you know,

174
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: started to laughing. He just looking me with those eyes

175
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: and you could tell he's like serious, right, And ever

176
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: since then, I'm like, Dan that really, you know, really

177
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: it's a stay staying on my resume, if you will.

178
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: But just what you needed to hear it at you're

179
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: coming from William, even if you're coming from like the

180
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: best of the best, it's everything is jam packed into

181
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: two days. You got a zillion test you got to take,

182
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: You get a zillion interviews you got to take. I

183
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: can't imagine being, you know, having your balloon pop like

184
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: that right off of that there.

185
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: How far are they from me, I'm thirty, probably forty

186
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: five minutes. Oh wow, so it's right, yeah, right down

187
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: the road.

188
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

189
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: In my senior year, unfortunately they beat us twice uh

190
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: con season and then they beat us in the playoffs.

191
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: Do they recruit you also?

192
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: Sick?

193
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: No Richmond and recruitment.

194
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So they could have thrown in your face that

195
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: you chose the rules right right, but obviously you chose.

196
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: Now when you talk about this upcoming season, a lot

197
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: of excitement from a lot of the former players, like

198
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: we're some of y'all's biggest fans out there just because

199
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: of the energy, the way y'all playing in all three

200
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: phases of the game. When y'all are here during the week,

201
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: is there anybody there like making sure we're not reading

202
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: the press clippings and keeping our feet on the ground

203
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: or is it just something that's just known within within

204
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: this team. Yeah, I can speak from myself obviously. Like

205
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: being in the league so long, it's cliche, but they say,

206
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, in the NFL, you either have been humble

207
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: or you're gonna get humbled, you know, so like you

208
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: can't you can't ride the waves, you know, kind of

209
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: gotta stay even killed.

210
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 2: And that's how that.

211
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: Coach Denigo has been saying too right, It's like you

212
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: gotta stay hungry, you gotta stay humble, and been harping

213
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: on you know, being able to bounce back after a win,

214
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: which I think is you know, people say it all

215
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: the time, but I think it's really true. Like it's

216
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: it's harder. It's harder to bounce back from a win

217
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 1: than a loss. Like no one wants to get embarrassed,

218
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: no one wants to, you know, have bad plays out there.

219
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: So when that happens, it's easy to be motivated. And

220
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: I think it's it's definitely a bigger test of a

221
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: team's character and an individual's character to come back after

222
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to tell you how good you are, you know,

223
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: but you know that you could have done so much better.

224
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: You know, he had five tackles a past defense. It's

225
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: DeAndre Houston Carson. It was five tackles and a PD

226
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: against the Cardinals last weekend. So you're from in between

227
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: those two spots, Washington, d C. And Richmonds. Growing up,

228
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 3: Were you a Washington fan Commander's Redskins.

229
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 2: Or were you I grew up a Cleveland Browns fan.

230
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 3: Why why Cleveland?

231
00:09:55,640 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: My family is from Cleveland. Some of my family it

232
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: is from like Erie, Edinburgh, Pennsylvania. So uh yeah, I

233
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: grew up a Browns fan. Gave me tough skin, you know, tough,

234
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: tough living. But there was one I think they made

235
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: the playoffs one time when I was growing up and

236
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: lost to the Steelers in the playoffs. I remember just

237
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: crying when I was a kid, Like, so you're deep,

238
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: You're you're a real fan. Where it messes up your

239
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: day or weekend if they have to lose.

240
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: I like that. So now and obviously we know where

241
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: your allegiance.

242
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: But people used to ask me when I played, are

243
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: you still a fan of the team you were when

244
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: you were growing up? No, and maybe who knows what

245
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: I'm playing or something, But yeah, right now the fan

246
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: of the Houston Texas there it is whoever signs and

247
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: checks and who you're out there balling. You know you're

248
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: balling with. He talked about the success you had with

249
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cards. Played a lot of special teams, uh

250
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: now playing a lot on defense. Talk about the preparation

251
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: during the week and how different it is preparing for

252
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: a special team role versus knowing that you're going to

253
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: get a lot of snaps on the defensive side. Yeah,

254
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: for sure, it's much harder to prepare when your main

255
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: role is on special teams, just because the way I

256
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: do it, at least, and you know, I'm sure a

257
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: lot of guys do. Like you're watching special teams a lot,

258
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 1: like you know, that's your face, like you're starting on those,

259
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: but then you also are one play away every time

260
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: from being a starter on defense, you know, so it's

261
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: really like having to watch both of them completely locked in.

262
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Whereas I think when you're playing defense, you still got

263
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: to be locked in on you on the special team stuff,

264
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: but you know, most of the times the coaches to

265
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of take it, take a load off of you

266
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: a little bit on the teams so you can focus

267
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: a little bit more on offensive defense. So yes, I

268
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: think it's definitely easier from that standpoint. It's what you said,

269
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: because you know, during my point in my twelve years,

270
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: started some years backup role, and obviously if you're a backup,

271
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: you better be on special teams. And you're right as

272
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: you were talking and brought back some memories when your

273
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: main focus with special teams, it was tougher because you

274
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: obviously had to make sure you everything that was going

275
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: on with SEC teams, but you also had to prepare

276
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 1: as a starter on the defensive side, because, like you said,

277
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: you're one play away from being thrown in there, and

278
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do is have some

279
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: mas miss assignments because you weren't prepared. So the years

280
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: that I started or played more on defense, it was

281
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: easier because it's like, yeah, I'm gonna be in there,

282
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: and if I have to get thrown into special teams,

283
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: you'll kind of a judge.

284
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, and nobody cares.

285
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: If you know, if you didn't get no reps or whatever,

286
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: thought the weak on defense, you better come in and play.

287
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 3: See the receivers on the other team. Hey, let me

288
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: take it easy on you. You're here. You know it's

289
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 3: not one of those situations, is it. Speaking of the

290
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 3: guys you'll go against this weekend, Jacksonville, they come to town.

291
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 3: They're above five hundred. Obviously the Texans are above five hundred.

292
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 3: That has never happened. These two teams have never played

293
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: each other when they've been above five hundred, not when

294
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 3: he played, not when you've played anybody in between or

295
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: before that. That's remarkable. I'm not talking about in November,

296
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: December one to o two and early in the season.

297
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 3: It's never happened. So this has got to be the

298
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: biggest Jacksonville Jaguars versus Houston Texans game ever, right ND

299
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 3: when you say.

300
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially with the implication, but I still feel like

301
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: it's still kind of hurts too early.

302
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no crowning going on or anything, but it's

303
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: wild that that's it's been so long since it's been

304
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: ever that these teams are facing each other with winning records.

305
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 3: So what do you see. I know you'll haven't dug

306
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: too deep into the tape yet, but there's a team

307
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 3: that they can move some things around. They've got a

308
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 3: different guy leading them in receptions, different guy leading them

309
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: than receiving yards, and different guy leading them in touchdown catches.

310
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 3: That was the same case around here last week. It's

311
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 3: not the case right now. But clearly there are many

312
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 3: weapons and many options for Trevor Lawrence.

313
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: No doubt.

314
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got a very dangerous offensive group, obviously, starting

315
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. They're running game. All their receivers you know,

316
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 1: are dangerous, and so we'll have our work cut out

317
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: for us, but you know we'll be ready for the chalent.

318
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: You know.

319
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: And when you talk about these type of games with

320
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: the playoff implication, I feel like it's early a lot

321
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: of my radio shows and when people ask me, oh,

322
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's a huge game, like Drew talked about,

323
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: I was like, Eh, you know what if they lose,

324
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: but you never you don't want to say if we lose.

325
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: As a player, there's the goal is still there and

326
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: if they win, they can still lose it if they

327
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: don't humble themselves like you talked about. So going into it,

328
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: are guys looking at the records, looking at the standings?

329
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: Or for you is it no, we're just playing Jacksonville,

330
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 1: another good team. Yeah, exactly. I can't speak for the

331
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: other guys, but myself, it's a little bit of both,

332
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: you know. To be honest, I think if someone wants

333
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: to say that, they're not looking at the records and

334
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: looking at the fact that you know, if we win,

335
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have the time breaker and all that

336
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: sort of stuff later on. Obviously we got to do,

337
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: we got to do. But I think I think it's

338
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: one thing to be so focused on, like the outcome

339
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: and what's at stake, and another thing to recognize, Yeah,

340
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: that is true, right, but like it's not gonna matter

341
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: if we don't go out there and perform. So like

342
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: what's important right now is how we take care of

343
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: our bodies today on Tuesday, how we study our tape,

344
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, and just kind of focusing on the process

345
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: and hopefully giving ourselves the best chance to to go

346
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: get that win. And one thing I want to ask

347
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: you because every time I talk to a defensive back

348
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: that's currently playing, I asked this question. And then when

349
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I talk to buddies that I play with, the Bobby

350
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: Taylor's of the world, Brian Dawkins of the world, we

351
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: talk and we're in awe of I don't know how

352
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: y'all are supposed to play because they'll be penalties. And

353
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm not just saying because I'm biased because I'm a

354
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: defensive player, but they'll be penalties where if you're aiming

355
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: for the receiver's chest and he drops his head down,

356
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: you get penalized, you get fined, potentially get kicked out

357
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: of the game. And I have no idea what y'all

358
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: are supposed to do. How are they coaching that up?

359
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: What do coaches say after those penalties? Like if I

360
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: was your coach, I'd be like, hey, man, I don't

361
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: know what you're supposed to do. But I'm sure the

362
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: current coaches are saying like, hey, you have to do

363
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: this that or the other. Like what is the It's

364
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: a little bit of both really, Like sometimes it's I

365
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: don't know what you're supposed to do right there?

366
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: You know, like you had a good target.

367
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, the main the main coaching point is lower

368
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: your target, lower your target line so that you know

369
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: there's no chance of you hitting in the helmet or head.

370
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: But like you said, sometimes your target is on point

371
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: and they happen to duck at the right time or

372
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: whatever and end up getting a penalty. So I think, yeah,

373
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: that's the main thing, just trying to keep your target

374
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: a little bit lower, focusing on the chest and hips,

375
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: and if you have to go a little bit lower,

376
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate that that's the way the game is going.

377
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: But it's kind of where it is and what's the

378
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: mentality because I know the few times as d linemen,

379
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: it's something when you drop and coverage, if you saw

380
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: somebody that's focused on the ball, the thought is Oh,

381
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to clean his clock, Like in your mind,

382
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: is it okay? I got to hit him here so

383
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: I don't get penalty, Like what are you thinking that

384
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: split second before you hit the pass catcher? Yeah, you know,

385
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: I've been in the league since I think they started

386
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: all those rules, So that's how I've been.

387
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Training the whole time.

388
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: So I'm more focused on just trying to make sure

389
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: I got my right angle and I'm not trying to

390
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: hit anybody in the head.

391
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: No one.

392
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's ever really except for that kid

393
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: from Pittsburgh or whatever it was you said, did you

394
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: see that clip? No recently, this is college. Yeah, it

395
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: was one of the craziest things I've ever seen.

396
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna have.

397
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: To go look, this is the definition of it was wild,

398
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: and you, as a player, you felt like he was

399
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: aiming for the head. If you watch it, you'll be like,

400
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: it looked like a parody, like someone Key and Peel

401
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: or something.

402
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: Now I'm not ected, but I'm definitely.

403
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 3: Going well, everything you just described, I just don't see

404
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 3: how you can you can penalize and suspend Denzel Periman

405
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 3: the way he did because it wasn't a quarterback sliding.

406
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: And even if it was, he was like you said,

407
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 3: he was going low, you know he was. It was

408
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 3: a wide receiver of ball carrier sliding, which how many

409
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: how often does that ever happen? I'm sure it has

410
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: happened before, but I don't remember seeing that. And it's

411
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: a really good dangerous guy after the catch and anyways,

412
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,880
Speaker 3: but probably beating dead horses.

413
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 1: Here, right, It's it's relevant, right, Yeah, Obviously players against

414
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: suspending on our.

415
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Team, and it sucks.

416
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just think they probably need a i don't know,

417
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: different way to view all that stuff, right, right, make

418
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 1: it a little bit more subjective almost sure, you know,

419
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: like what happened on this play instead of just looking

420
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: at oh hit him in the head, like okay, why

421
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: did that contact happen that way? And I'm gonna be real,

422
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm a little disappointed in my former teammates. I played

423
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: with Troy Vincent. You know, obviously he's doing a great job.

424
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: I still love him to death as a person. John Runyon,

425
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: James Thrash, these are all guys that I played with,

426
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: and they're the ones who are handing down the fines

427
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,959
Speaker 1: And I'm like, y'all played the game like what's going on?

428
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: And obviously it comes from above them, but I just

429
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,919
Speaker 1: somebody needs to explain what a player is supposed to do.

430
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: And this is my last point because it really ticks

431
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: me off. Then when they showed on television, they slow

432
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: it down, so the people who've never played are like, oh,

433
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: he had time to.

434
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: Make why would you ever do this?

435
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, like showed him in real.

436
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: Even like the penalty aspect of it, like I can't understand,

437
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: like you're trying to take that out the game. Cool,

438
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: But the money aspect of it. I heard someone the

439
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: other day say, a practice squad of the face you

440
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: got found like forty five fifty thousand dollars and that

441
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: dude's gonna be, you know, playing for free for multiple weeks.

442
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, that doesn't seem that doesn't

443
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: seem right to me.

444
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: From them, Well, let's flip flip over to something fun. Yeah,

445
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 3: you've had an interesting So the first seven years of

446
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: your career Chicago, You've you've played this season with the Texans,

447
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: you played with the Ravens, and then you came back

448
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 3: to the Texans the first time around. You were a

449
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 3: part of that first win, and it was at Jacksonville.

450
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: And I want to focus on one play in particular,

451
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: the Andrew Beck kickoff return for a touchdown.

452
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 4: Brandon McManus will kick off fromarra left to right with

453
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 4: Mike boone back deep, one yard deep at the end zone.

454
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,959
Speaker 4: Last time he let it bounce and this is going

455
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: to be inside the ten and this is dropped picked

456
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: up by Beck. Beck still going running to the right side.

457
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: Beck has some room.

458
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 5: Twenty five, thirty, thirty five, forty, He's at the fifty,

459
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: He's at the forty five Jacksonville, Beck across the thirty.

460
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: That's what the fifteen ten five? Are you kidding?

461
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 5: Rock and roll touchdown Houston. My goodness, oh my back

462
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 5: picked up the ball. The earth started shaking in North Florida,

463
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 5: and he ran on the right side and found the

464
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 5: lane to the end zone.

465
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: It's why they tell those guys never to back up.

466
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: Legend you were you were you log some special team snaps?

467
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 3: What was your vantage point of that play? Were you

468
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,479
Speaker 3: on the field, were you on the sidelines? Take us

469
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 3: through your side, sideline view or your your on field

470
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: view of what happened on that just unpredictable. No one

471
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: would have called it touchdown by Andrew Beck, the full back,

472
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 3: no doubt.

473
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: So I was on the field. Okay, I'm supposed to

474
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: be blocking for for Beck. You know how the game

475
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: is like, it's fast, So somehow I end up on

476
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: the ground. You know, are getting knocked off. I end

477
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: up on the ground. It's like a big pile. And

478
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: a lot of times I can judge was going on

479
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: based off them crowd noise. So I hear the crowd

480
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: start going crazy. I'm like, dag, he probably got tackled

481
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: this side of twenty. So I just look up and

482
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: I just see him scooting down the sideline and my

483
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: first thought, to be honest, I'm like, all right, someone's

484
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 1: gonna get him. And I just see him hotstup one

485
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: dude and then host up another dude. I'm like, he's

486
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: about to go to the He went all the way that.

487
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: That was one of the craziest moments I've been a

488
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 1: part of in the NFL.

489
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 3: How big a play now forced for the trees, you know,

490
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: weeks later, a month later, so I mean ohing too.

491
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: At that point, you had a nice lead, but they

492
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 3: were creeping in close and it looked like, okay, we

493
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 3: got things right where the Jaguars are gonna and then

494
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: you guys just kind of slammed the door on them

495
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 3: after that. How big do you think that play has

496
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: been for this season?

497
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know if you can really,

498
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, quantify it. Yeah, but I didn't even really

499
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: think about it like that, like, yeah, it was they

500
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 1: maybe felt like they were getting a little bit of

501
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: momentum and kind of got the air taking out of the

502
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: building after that play, and I think after that it

503
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 1: seemed like we were in control and then and then yeah,

504
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: you get a win and you start build momentum, and

505
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: so yeah, that's a that's a great question. Maybe, uh,

506
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: maybe back later in January or something, you bring it

507
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: up in.

508
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 3: We'll revisit that. Yeah, after that, I just know I

509
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 3: was on I was in this. I was on the

510
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: sideline shooting with my camera and I was in the

511
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,479
Speaker 3: end zone that he scored. So I'm on the other

512
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 3: side of the field and it was you remember, it

513
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 3: was brilliantly sunny that day. You can't release and when

514
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 3: you're looking at a cell phone and you're shooting video,

515
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 3: I can kind of see somebody's not supposed to be

516
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: catching the ball that you know is and then they

517
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 3: fumbled the ball and I was like, oh, and then

518
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 3: there's a scrum and then I see that person that

519
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: miscuted it is all by himself and I'm shooting and

520
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 3: I just go, oh, Andrew Beck. I can just tell

521
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: by the way he moved in the hair and everything,

522
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 3: and I thought, sweet, he's gonna get it to like

523
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 3: the thirty five forty yard line. They're gonna have a

524
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 3: really good field position. And then he just kept going.

525
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 3: He hurdled the dude and then everybody was in the

526
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 3: end zone the sidelines behind it as he's coming up.

527
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: It was a fun van. I mean, I think Bobby

528
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: Slowan jumped over one of the guys that tried to

529
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 3: tackle him. It was just one of those memorable moments, like,

530
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 3: Holy Molly, what is how did you What's the craziest

531
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: special teams play you ever saw?

532
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: In that regard?

533
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: You know that when I would have to really go

534
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: back and think about the craziest, because most impactful when

535
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook We're playing against the Buffalo Bills, similar to

536
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: what you just mentioned with DeAndre Or our season didn't

537
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: get started the way it was supposed to In Philadelpia

538
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: were supposed to win the division and at the time

539
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: we just weren't playing well and it was like a

540
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: last second punt. They were pretty much punning to us

541
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: to seal the game that they were gonna win, and

542
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,719
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook took it to the house. We end up

543
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: winning the game, and then after that things just started

544
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: to fall into plays and we ended up winning the

545
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: division and playing the conference championship game. So, and it's

546
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: funny because when you were asking DeAndre the question, like,

547
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: was that when the momentum shifted when you're playing, you

548
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: don't really think about it like that. I just think, oh,

549
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: that was a great play. Then when the season was

550
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: over and we looked back on this season, it was, oh,

551
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: you know what, it was a special team's play where

552
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 1: things started to change for the better for the entire season. So,

553
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: like you said, when the season's over and we have

554
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: some playoff wins, we might go back to that play

555
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: and say that's when things started to change in our favor.

556
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, we've got DeAndre Houston Carson with us,

557
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 3: a defensive back for the Texans. We're gonna talk much

558
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: much more with him. After the break, we got to

559
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: get into some of this special team stuff that you've mentioned.

560
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 3: And this guy's played every single snap on the defensive

561
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: side of the ball for the last two games, and

562
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 3: the last two games been pretty fun. All right, stick

563
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 3: with us. This is Texans Huddle.

564
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: Welcome back, Welcome in Texan Huddle. I am in d Kalu.

565
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: He's Drew Doherty, DeAndre Houston, Carson sitting in the seat

566
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: talking a little football special teams, talk about some college rivalries.

567
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: Whatever we want to talk about, we talk about here

568
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: in the Texans huddle. Before we get into what Drew teased,

569
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: I did want to ask you a question about, you know,

570
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: your approach every single quarter, you know, because I used

571
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: to remember like when a quarter was over, and I'm

572
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: talking about the season. So let me step back when

573
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: I play those sixteen games. So after every four games

574
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: you kind of changed up what you did? Do you

575
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: do Do they still do that? Do you still do that?

576
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: Like after four weeks in do you kind of change

577
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: up your routine just so it doesn't become like groundhog

578
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Day where every day you're waking up doing.

579
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 2: The same thing.

580
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: Right For my personal routine that I do know, I

581
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: try to keep it as you know, as consistent as possible,

582
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: but there's enough things like in the weight room and

583
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: practice and all that stuff that's out of my control

584
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: that they might switch.

585
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: They do change it up. Yeah, I'm trying to think

586
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 2: it might not.

587
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: Be exactly every four weeks, but like like weightlifting program,

588
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's you know, certain times where you

589
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: change what's going on. And maybe it's four weeks. But

590
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: I think for like my standpoint of like you have

591
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: your season goals right, and then you check in after

592
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: every quarter see where you are as a team and

593
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 1: individually and what you need to change if you're not,

594
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, if you haven't achieved those goals yet. So

595
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: real quick before you sorry Andrew Drew, real quick, because

596
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: we talked about that awesome return by Beck and what

597
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: I liked about it. It shows how athletic all football

598
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: players are in the NFL. So, if you weren't playing safety,

599
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: what position do you feel like? You know, what if

600
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: they gave me a shot at this position out of

601
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: ball out like I used to think I could play

602
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: tight end, even though I never did, Like, but what's

603
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: the position you're like, you know.

604
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: What, by the way, this guy, did you win State

605
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 3: in the high junkets. One of the Texas really is

606
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 3: one of the biggest track.

607
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 2: Meets jump.

608
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 3: But he'll count appreciate it. He ran track to you.

609
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: Oh you're a track guy. Okay, I'm not a track

610
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: guy one year.

611
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a reason why I ran one. So what's

612
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: that position where you feel like, you know what? I

613
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: could be the guy at this position. I don't know

614
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: about the guy, but I'd probably be decently serviceable at receiver.

615
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 2: My side.

616
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I can't. I can't be on the in the

617
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: trenches or anything like that, but maybe receiver the spot.

618
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've heard. I've asked that question of a few

619
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 3: players who would who from the other side of the

620
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: ball would be good here. I can't remember who I

621
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 3: asked on defense, but it's like, who do you think

622
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: on the offensive side of the ball would be a

623
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 3: good defender? And I can remember who it was, but

624
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 3: he just didn't hesitates like Nico Collins would be a

625
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: great safety, great safe just because he's physical, can catch,

626
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 3: can move. Yeah, it's an interesting one.

627
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: Safety is kind of like the quarterback of the defensive back.

628
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: So is that just in my opinion, being physical. There's

629
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: a lot of thought behind it too. You know, I

630
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 1: think that's the most fun part of the position. Honestly,

631
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: not the most fun, but it is a fun part,

632
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: like making the calls, making the checks. But I'm trying

633
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: to think offensive player will be really good on defense.

634
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't want the receiver it I think I think Robert

635
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: Woods would be pretty good as a defensive back.

636
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: It's a tough guy.

637
00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, smart, smart, got got a lot of experience. Yeah,

638
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: what would you be doing if you weren't a football player?

639
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: That's a good question. Yeah, I don't know. I know

640
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: I want to be in the ministry at some point.

641
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would have happened by now.

642
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: But I'm thankful that I haven't had to answer that question.

643
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't worked the day in my life yet.

644
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 3: That's good. That's good. Did you ever have any jobs,

645
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: just you know, in high school or college? What was

646
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: your first job ever?

647
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

648
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: So my first job every was at the library. What

649
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: are you doing there, sweet gig? Putting the books back

650
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: on the shelf. I was probably the worst employee.

651
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 3: Of all time high school or high school?

652
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think my junior or maybe sophomore year, probably

653
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: junior year. They gave us these phones. If they ever

654
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 1: need anything, you know, they call.

655
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: You on the phone.

656
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: So I put my my books back on the shelf

657
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: and I go Hit you know, Hit Downtown Fredieburge, walk

658
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: around and be chilling, and if they need anything, they

659
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: give me a call. But then after that, I worked

660
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: at Olive Garden my senior year and then all the

661
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: way through college. In the summers I work at Olive Garden.

662
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 3: And waiting tables.

663
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that was a grind.

664
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

665
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: Now with your experience working waiting tables, do you tip

666
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: a little more now when you go out to eat

667
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: because you know what they're going through?

668
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: Or less I give a good tip. I give a

669
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: good tip.

670
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: The tips are starting to get crazy nowadays, though, you

671
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: know they're all built in now.

672
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, tips for all types of stuff. You know.

673
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad you said that because I thought it was

674
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: just me because I've been known to be cheap. I

675
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 1: think I'm frugal, but when it comes to tips, I

676
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: always try to go over and beyond because I want

677
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: to kill the stereotype. But that's another story for another time.

678
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: But uh, the asking for a tip when I go

679
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: pick up the food, I'm like, but I talked to

680
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 1: somebody who was a good buddy of mine and he

681
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: was a producer on a radio show that I had,

682
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: and he said that I forgot how he explained it,

683
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: but he broke it down that even if you're picking

684
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: up the food, the people who prepared it are still

685
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 1: expecting and needing.

686
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: That that's true. So that's that's the only reason.

687
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, yeah, COVID kind of turned everything on

688
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 3: tier in that regard fars, tipping and the service and

689
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: the built ins and whatnot.

690
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: What's one thing about the restaurant business.

691
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 3: We can do. We can, by the way, keep going

692
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: with this quick, because we could talk about waiting tables

693
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 3: and restaurants the rest of them. I waited tables for

694
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 3: two summers, so I can chime in a little bit.

695
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, okay, we won't say the name of

696
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: the restaurant, But have you ever seen somebody drop food,

697
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 1: pick it up and put it.

698
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: Back on the plate.

699
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: I never, personally, I never did either. And I still

700
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: I launched one into like a wall one time by accident,

701
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: and yeah, these people, their food never got cooked faster.

702
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 3: And I'm like, why don't I just do that all

703
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 3: the time? And make it come out okay.

704
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you what I did see if if

705
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: someone's food came out wrong and they sent it back

706
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: to the kitchen and it's kind of sitting in the

707
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: window for a little while and it's not gonna go out, okay, scavengers, Yeah,

708
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: during during the turn the shift, trying to figure out

709
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: who's gonna get that food. Oh really, I always have

710
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: like two or three co bosses whenever I leave out

711
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: of the olive garden for the night.

712
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: Huh.

713
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: Interesting, Now does the smell of the olive garden or garlic?

714
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 3: Does that? Does that hit you weird now? Or because

715
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: I know walking into the back of the kitchen when

716
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: I went there, it kind of soured me on certain

717
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: restaurants after.

718
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: I did it.

719
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that demite has a unique, unique smell.

720
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: It doesn't any wrong, But I definitely don't eat all

721
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: as much as I used to.

722
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 3: Those breadsticks though in the salad.

723
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: It's funny you said, because I never worked at a restaurant,

724
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: but both my sisters there's a restaurant, I think it's

725
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: only in San Antonio called Bill Miller's, and they both

726
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: worked there and they would come home smelling like barbecue. Yeah, yeah,

727
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: not not barbecue like gatlings so you know over here,

728
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, fast food is barbecue. And I used to

729
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: like going there, but after about a year of them

730
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: working there, I.

731
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: Just I can absolutely understand that. Absolutely. Yeah, that makes

732
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: all the sense of the world.

733
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

734
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, talking restaurants here with DeAndre Carson and n d Kalou.

735
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 2: Did you ever cook?

736
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 3: No?

737
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Can you cooktok? So you don't have a go to meal? Spaghetti?

738
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: I think that's everyone I could get by, right, steak

739
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: something easy? Yeah, just make the stake.

740
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: How do you eat every day? What do you do? Do

741
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: you just take stuff from the here?

742

Speaker 1: My wife holds it down there there you go, Chipotle

Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your what's your favorite meal or two or

745
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,520

746
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: what do you what's your favorite?

747
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say probably by far, simple, but she makes

748
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: it really good.

749
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: Salmon. It's kind of like barbecue.

750
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 3: Good for you.

751
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, simple?

752
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: Uh. And the way she does her vegetables is always good.

753
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: She sees thems, right, I like them to be kind

754
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: of crispy, kind of got that damn pack.

755
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 2: So she does a thing.

756
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: So you talked about if you weren't playing. You may

757
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: be in the ministry. Have you found a good church

758
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: here in Houston? Actually yes, obviously can't go right during

759
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: the right but one of the pastors who's connected with

760
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: my pastor back home, he's not too far so we went.

761
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: I went once with my wife and kids, and then

762
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: and then they've went a few times. So so your

763
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: pastor back home had some connections here in Houston exactly,

764
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: and you're able to connect with those.

765
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: Do you lean on them at all or is there

766
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: really not a need to not so much? Right now?

767
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 1: You have the family, okay, and I was here for

768
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: a short time last time. It's kind of been all

769
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: ball for me. But but no, they've been It's been

770
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: nice having somewhere from my wife and kids to be

771
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: able to go.

772
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Do you see yourself in the pulpit?

773
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: Do you see yourself preaching or more, you know, helping

774
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: in the background, like when you envision And I know

775
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 1: you said you don't know.

776
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Exactly, but I thought that was very interesting and admirable.

777
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 1: Like do you see yourself are you more get in

778
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: front of it the congregation and preach.

779
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 2: The word or more behind the scenes.

780
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see myself being a pastor, so you know,

781
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: probably they say ten percent is preaching and a lot

782
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: of it is counseling and meetings and administrative type of stuff.

783
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: Right, it's a little bit of both.

784
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: Definitely, How prepare are you for that? You think?

785
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good? Yes, I don't think. I don't

786
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: know if you ever really be prepared. I think it's

787
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: one of those things you got to get baptized by fire,

788
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: you know.

789
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 2: But I feel good. I feel good about it.

790
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: When I used to at my radio show, sometimes we'll

791
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 1: push the envelope and then my pastor will text me like, hey,

792
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: I'm listening to And even as a forty year old man,

793
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: I was like I always just like, okay, I gotta

794
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: change up what we're talking about, and you know, not.

795
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: Get too crazy with it.

796
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:14,279

800
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: in with us for the final segment. Been awesome. Two segments.

801
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: We appreciate your time and you're a very humble guy,

802
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: like most of the guys. Matter of fact, let me

803
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: change that. All the guys that we've had sitting in

804
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: to see that you're sitting in all been great guys.

805
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of humility with you. Can you

806
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: just kind of talk about how it doesn't appear you

807
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: let the NFL life get to your head. Yeah, I

808
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I just feel like we're all just regular dudes,

809
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, trying to make a living. And I think

810
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: sometimes people will talk about and humble, but I really

811
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: in light of and again I don't maybe not get

812
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: too deep, but in loight of like who God is

813
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: and who I am, it's like I'm happy to be

814
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: alive and you know, happy to be here talk to

815
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: y'all and just trying to get better. I know how

816
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: how much I need to work on right, Like I

817
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: know who I am more than anyone else does. So

818
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's humble. I think it's just the

819
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: reality of you know, And I think that's part of

820
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: the definition of humility, the fact that you don't think

821
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: you're being humble.

822
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: It's just the reality.

823
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: And it really hit me when you know, I told

824
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: you I thought i'd be a great tight end and

825
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, I could probably play slot. I'm not

826
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: saying I'll be great. And I'm like, man, that guy,

827
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: you know he's humble because obviously he's a great athlete.

828
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: Or you don't get to the NFL, you don't last

829
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 1: eight years. The career average is three and a half years.

830
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 1: And it's just kind of refreshing just to hear the

831
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: humility with everything that you've been able to accomplish.

832
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate it, appreciate.

833
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: Speaking of home, guys, what are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

835
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 3: to partake in because you guys got a game this Sundays.

836
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: It's two parts and then the third part of that

837
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: question perfect Thanksgiving plate involves what bang bang bang?

838
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'll start and reverse. Okay, I'm not a

840
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,040

841
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: H No, no, no, y'all have sweet potatoes?

842
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: Who FLA?

843
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: I never?

844
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,240
Speaker 2: I guess there's nothing special, right, It's like sweet potato,

845
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 2: but it's.

846
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 3: Like special enough for you to make it first of the.

847
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: Bread, cinnamon or something like real sweet.

848
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: What else do I like?

849
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: So with the Hawaiian role, do you put anything in it?

850
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: Or you just eat it by itself? You turned it

851
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 1: into a same way.

852
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 2: Eat it by.

853
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: Itself on the first day, but the next couple of

854
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: days you make it. Started making them in the same

855
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 1: the Hawaiian bread is that's what I need? Dang, I

856
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: feel like that's that's not that.

857
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 3: Much, right, three components?

858
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably like some I don't. Yeah, I'll be stuffing.

859
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:10,120
Speaker 2: You know they forced the.

860
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 3: Your face scrunches up when you say it. I don't

861
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 3: eat the stuff because it's too mushy. And some people

862
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 3: call it dressing, and there's like a little side war

863
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 3: that goes on with the stuffing versus dressing people.

864
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 2: But no dress.

865
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 3: The liquid right, that's gravy.

866
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I guess.

867
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 3: I think maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. I think

868
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: it's gravy.

869
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 2: But the turkey feels for us. What about you, Drew?

870
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 2: You asked the question.

871
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 3: I love turkey turkey. I'll take Kurt Cajun fried turkey.

872
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 3: I'll take smoke turkey. I I love ham as well,

873
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 3: so I'll do both. I'm gonna do both, like mashed

874
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: potatoes and gravy, green bean castrole. My mother in law

875
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 3: has this awesome artichoke hearts cast role. Out of this world.

876
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 2: White met dark with a turkey both. I like both

877
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 2: white mesu drive for.

878
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: Me, not if you put a little gravy on it,

879
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 3: some salt.

880
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: But everything both of y'all mentioned is great. It depends

881
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: who's preparing it and how.

882
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,879
Speaker 3: Absolutely, of course, of course, of course. Well we didn't

883
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: have any desserts either. What's we got to get in that? Wait?

884
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 3: Well wait, but yeah, you too, you've not answered what's

885
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 3: your favorite?

886
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: Your No, Actually, the Hawaiian role is. It's funny. You

887
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: have this fancy setup. Just give me the caned cranberry

888
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 1: sauce and I cut that up, put it in my

889
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,919
Speaker 1: Hawaiian role, and some dark turkey.

890
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 2: In there, and I just make it.

891
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 3: Make it a slice.

892
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: You just make it a slice. You put it in there,

893
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: and you put some turkey meeting. I'll make a bunch

894
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 1: of sandwiches and I'm good right there, and then I'll

895
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: gain about ten pounds after that.

896
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: So that's it. I'm pretty simple when it comes.

897
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 3: To that's good. That's a good setup, man, I like it.

898
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 2: I can't remember the other components.

899
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:45,719

Speaker 1: Boys girls, moll this is a girl and I got

914
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: two boys. Are you gonna let them play football if

915
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: they want to? Okay, let me back, let me that's

916
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: a dumb question. When will you allow them to put

917
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: the pads on in football? I started when I was eight,

918
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: So I think I let him play. I say, turn eight.

919
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: I know there's different views on that, right, I feel

920
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 1: like you kind of got to know if you can,

921
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: if you could take the hits, you know, I'd rather

922
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: you learn a little earlier than you're fourteen and you

923
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: know you're playing against eighteen year olds and get smacked

924
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: for the first time. So but yeah, I'll let him

925
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 1: play if they want to. Drew Son is a stud

926
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: I've seen some film on him, so you need to

927
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: share that one with DeAndre.

928
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: Oh you have two playing.

929
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 3: I got a big boy playing. He played seven on seven.

930
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: He was a quarterback. And then I think I sent

931
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 3: you the the eight year old he was with.

932
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: The moves look like like a young tank.

933
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 3: Like he's a and they just did it. Did jet

934
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 3: sweepend arounds with him? So yeah, he's fun.

935
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 2: So does the family follow you?

936
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: Because I know when I played there was a something

937
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: back and forth when I was moving and not knowing

938
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna move. So they stay back home or

939
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 1: do you bring them, pack them up, bring them everywhere

940
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: you go? Yeah, it's been tough because my wife is

941
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: like super pregnant this whole process this year. So they've stayed, yeah,

942
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and they they've come a couple

943
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 1: of times. So okay, they're here visiting now for a

944
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: little bit. Will they be here through Thanksgiving?

945
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:28,960

949
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 4: Well?

950
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

951
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 1: If you have to talk to coach. For me, I know,

952
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: we got practice and I don't know exactly what we

953
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: know what the plan is after that.

954
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a Thursday. I mean it's that's kind of

955
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 3: I remember Kobiac they practiced, O'Brien, they practiced. Yet Yeah. Yeah,

956
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 3: sometimes the media is there. Sometimes it's not. This year

957
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 3: won't be. Yeah, it's excited. I mean, listen, he knows

958
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 3: you understand because you've seen it from Afar. But there

959
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 3: hasn't been winning football around here to twenty nineteen around

960
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 3: this time of year, and you're in. You guys are

961
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: on a three game win streak then won three in

962
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: a row since twenty eighteen, so this is a it's

963
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 3: been a while since the wins have been coming. So

964
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 3: this is this is fun, fun stuff for the fans

965
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: and people covering it and for the players.

966
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 2: You know, ye gotta keep it rolling.

967
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

968
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: Are you as petty as I was? Because I went

969
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: in the fifth round and every year I would go

970
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: and look at all the people in my position who

971
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: were drafted ahead of me, and I'll just mark him

972
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: off like he's not in the league anymore. That was

973
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: kind of my drive. Do you do something that silly

974
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: or I think I know the answer, but no, no,

975
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't do it to that extent.

976
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: But I keep my eye on guys you know, who

977
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: are still in and you know, guys who they're projecting

978
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: to be, you know whatever, and for whatever reason aren't in.

979
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm just trying to trying to last. I

980
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: stick around a little bit longer. Yeah, so I understand

981
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: that sentimental.

982
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty sixteen. I mean that's there's not too many

983
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 3: guys who are picked then that are still around.

984
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's like the safety class there is for

985
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: some reason, it was a pretty strong class. So maybe

986
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 1: not like all the drafted, but a lot of undrafted

987
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: guys are still playing.

988
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: I'm doing it thing right. Yeah, it's only uh, you

989
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: got to go down to you know, there's about thirty

990
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 3: forty to fifty you guys tops still playing, still playing. Yeah.

991
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 2: Oh, regardless of position.

992
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 3: Regardless of position that were drafted. It's like he said,

993
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 3: there's probably you know, another chunk that we're not drafted

994
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: that are still hanging around.

995
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 2: No, that's strong.

996
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: Speaking of that, I mean, obviously it's a goal to

997
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 1: play as long as you can. Are you a goal setter?

998
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: Before every season or is it more just get your

999
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: body where it needs to be and see what happens. No,

1000
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 1: I said, myel are they personal?

1001
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: Okay? So that means don't ask. That is what you're saying, like,

1002
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: don't ask.

1003
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: So that's cool because I know some guys every year,

1004
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, kind of jot down what you want to accomplish.

1005
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: And then I talked to when I was young. I

1006
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: remember asking like Bruce Smith, he haye, you said goals

1007
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: and he was like, no, I just try to get

1008
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: my body to a certain point. But then another Hall

1009
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: of Famer was like, I absolutely write him down. So

1010
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:09,360
Speaker 1: I know what was cool about just the entire NFL.

1011
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: It's not just one mindset.

1012
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: You know.

1013
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: There's different ways to kind of approach the game and

1014
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 1: approach your career, no doubt, and I think trying to

1015
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: take a little bit from from different people and add

1016
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: it to your game is probably what helped you play

1017
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: twelve years. No, absolutely, And it wasn't just the greats,

1018
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: because there are some guys just physically I was like,

1019
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: I can't do that. But then there's other guys like

1020
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: you've never heard of Andy Harmon, Rhett Hall. When I

1021
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 1: was a rookie, they were defensive lineman for the Eagles.

1022
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: They both played decade plus and I was like, I

1023
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: could do what he does, So, you know, those are

1024
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: the guys I try to pick their brain. Then Bruce

1025
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: Smith taught me how to watch film. So what would

1026
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: be something you would tell a younger, even a guy

1027
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: like Petrie who's having a lot of success but he

1028
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 1: wants to last like you have, Like, what would be

1029
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 1: some of the advice you would give a younger dB

1030
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: oh Man. I guess it depends on the situation, but

1031
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: take special team series, you know, and something someone told

1032
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: me early on is try to have your same routine

1033
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: throughout the season. So like whatever you do on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays,

1034
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: that's what you do.

1035
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 2: You know.

1036
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: They say consistency off the field, Breeze, consistency on the

1037
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: field is what I heard, and so that's what I've

1038
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: tried to do, not perfectly, but I think that's something

1039
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: that's helped me in a way.

1040
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 3: We can't let you get out of here without asking

1041
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 3: the question. And I'm sure a lot of people ask

1042
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 3: you about him that they are not involved in football

1043
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 3: with the Texans, But what's your your vantage point of C? J.

1044
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: Stroud and what he's been able to do with you guys.

1045
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, when when I first got here

1046
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, before even play the game, just

1047
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: watching him in practice, I was thinking to myself and

1048
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: I said that a lot of someone them like this

1049
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: might be the best.

1050
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 2: Rookie quarterback I've seen.

1051
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 3: Really. Yeah, just personally, what was he doing that made

1052
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 3: you say that he just knows where he wants.

1053
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: To go with the ball.

1054
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know what he's doing as far as

1055
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: his preparation, but obviously he's on it. And not a

1056
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: lot of guys, rookie or not, like really know where

1057
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: they want to go with the ball away he does,

1058
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: and it's been special to watch.

1059
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was that like in Cincy in the week

1060
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 3: before that against Tampa Bay when he did what he

1061
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 3: did in those final minutes each time?

1062
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was amazing. You know, me personally, I was

1063
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: that Tampa Bay game, especially, you know, giving Hip so

1064
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,879
Speaker 1: many points on defense and him going down and doing

1065
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: it like you know, I was super thankful. Right, But

1066
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 1: now he's special and I just hope he I know

1067
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep keep it rolling.

1068
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 2: All right.
