So all three of 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.320 you guys have played in the league here and I 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.880 asked George Pickens yesterday, you know, what are you gonna 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:20.240 do with the time? 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.720 So I'm just relaxed. What is relaxing meaning? What does 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:28.280 it mean? So for you guys, take tell our. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.200 Viewers and listeners, what did you do after many camp 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.320 was done and you get this final break before you 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:35.240 hit camp in July? 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:35.480 Oh? 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:37.600 Well, for me it was I traveled, you know, as 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:39.280 soon as camp was done. 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:43.120 OTAs all that stuff, man, wear you down a little bit. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:43.320 You know. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.200 It ain't the pass and nothing physical like that, but 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.160 just you know, being at meetings Hot Texas, Son, I traveled, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.560 you know that first week you know, me and a 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.800 wife or whatever, go do our thing. But when we 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.480 got back, it was I wouldn't say it was relaxing, 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.320 but I still, you know, it was grinding a little bit, 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.040 working out here and there, but not making sure my 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.280 body was ready for any camp coming around, because we 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.720 all know when you get up there in that training 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.800 camp in them paths and back then it was two days. 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.000 I don't know, I. 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.600 Got a little difference, totally different, but yeah, I made sure, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.120 you know, I kept in shape, made sure, you know, 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:14.399 my lungs and everything was cool. But for the most part, 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.480 I definitely took a little break from football because you 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.200 think about it, man. 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:18.760 You're going from season all the way. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.519 You get you know, a couple months in our off season, 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.919 you know, February, whatever the case may be. But after 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:24.800 that you right back in the grind. So I had 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.240 to make sure I cleared my mind a little bit. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.240 For me, I probably took I probably took maybe the 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.800 first week off of something. I go home, and I 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.440 was a big family guy, so I'm going home, like 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.280 it took me a while before my first few years 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:38.280 to buy the house in the league. 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:40.720 Like it was me and my mom, my sister, my. 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:44.320 Girlfriend who's turning to my wife now to where we 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.120 sat there, and like we were in Dallas. So for 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:50.400 that week or two, we did cookouts, we did crawfish ball, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.280 we actually just kicked it and had like a good 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.120 family time. And then after that, like you know, about 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.360 a week and a half of getting it in, it's like, hey, 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.000 I was back into the mold because going into training 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.240 camp you had it. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:03.640 You were you were. 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:04.760 Getting ready to go to battle. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.520 Like for me, it was like it was turning on 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.520 this this going toward type of mindset where I'm like, hey, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:13.320 I'm really getting prepared. So I'm going in there, I'm running, 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:16.599 I'm making sure my cardio is right because I'll for 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.240 it looks different for everybody. I know some people that 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.880 when they leave training camp it's like, hey, I'm chilling. 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.520 I'm not doing anything until maybe a week before training 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.160 camp and I'm good. Some athletic dbs that I know that, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.080 But most of the d line is like it only 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.040 took us like a week to get out of shape, 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.719 so like to go hang out two or three weeks, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.440 it's like, hey, the athletic ones, you get battle a 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.320 good week and a half, but after that, those next 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.039 three or four weeks. You got to come in there 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.520 on your high horse because it's time to work and 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:48.000 it's time to go. So for me, that was resting, 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.640 relaxing with family and going from there. 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.120 He said, what you got for me? 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:54.080 Man? It was like, so I would use the OTAs. 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.599 In the mini camps as a gauge to see on 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.520 certain things that I need to work on or where 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.080 I need to get sharp at. After that was OTA's 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.200 in mini camp, it was like back to the lab, 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.120 you know, because basically you look at it like so 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:09.600 after that last mini camp, structurally we always said, okay, 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.919 you got to the fourth of July, because after the 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.880 fourth that's when it starts tapering down. You know, you're 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:15.919 gonna have a couple few weeks outside of that. So 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.679 we would basically get back in the lab and go hard. 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.560 You know what I'm saying, Okay, like how the mini 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.560 camp look, how the OTA's look, how your feet looking, 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.520 what you need to work on and things like that, 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.520 and we were just trying to get everything straight for that, 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:27.040 you know. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.440 And just like what we mentioned earlier. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.320 We had two a day's back then, so it was 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.839 a whole different type of grind, you know what. I mean, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.039 and then of course when around the fourth of July 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.320 we would have that big cookout you normally got family 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:40.760 reunions and stuff like that, and so then that's when 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.040 we would actually start to taper off just a little 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.520 bit to make sure that we weren't as fatigued and 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.720 your body was like you know, I guess in that 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.159 second phase of trying to go to that. 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.320 Before you peak or whatever else. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.240 Right, so if you want to try to chill out 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.680 a little bit, let the body relax, make sure everything 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.120 is healed up, because you don't want to go in 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:01.560 the camp too sore anythings like that. But we always 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.840 use that last part of the mini camp and those 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.280 ot as before, you know, before the season started to 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:06.919 see where we were at. 0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:08.039 So let me get this straight. 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.760 You said that basically ot AS was that was just 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:11.679 the size of mode. 0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:13.480 Like you just came in here and looked up at 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.040 Barry and. 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:19.599 Was like, oh yeah, training camp to. 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:21.080 Try and see what's going on. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.279 And every shop, you know, like every year you gotta trigger, 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.120 You got to figure out something every day that you're 0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.360 going to work on, because you know, if that if 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.920 you're looking like you're reaching that ceiling where they gotta. 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.680 Find somebody else, you know what I'm saying. 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.479 So you got to keep on coming there with something 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.120 to work on, something to show, you know what I mean. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:37.719 So you gotta stay hungry all the time. And that 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:38.520 was just my approach. 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.159 Okay, So I'm gonna throw this back at you guys 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.520 again because what some young folks, younger people who don't 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.800 understand how the NFL has changed what to a days? 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.560 Needs man break it down. 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:51.440 Oh let me let me. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.599 Let me go ahead and get this cause I'm the 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.920 youngest one out of all of them. I did get 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:57.960 the experience too a days, but I didn't have the 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.240 two days where you have practice full pass to a day. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.839 I heard about those talking to the Plexico justin Tuck 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.560 back in the day, you know, you come into the 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.320 locker room. They I'm like, well, you're talking about we 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.240 do got two days, Like in the morning, were coming 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.680 in their hellmets running doing like full scripted periods. I'm 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.120 talking about like an hour worth of work. And back 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.200 in the day Kaughlin made you work. You're gonna get 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.960 his money's work. And so then after that it's like, hey, 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:23.240 all right, let me go in here and take a 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.000 little break, let me eat all y'all complain about two days, 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.120 the next one we're coming out there and pass. And 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.360 I'm like, man, that was a grind within itself, within 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.360 the right organization, because going to Jack del Rio to 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.160 a days now you go to a Pete Carroll to 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.160 to day that might you know, you might not be 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.640 as physically demanding on the body, but mentally it's a 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.040 whole different thing. And so to hear about I can 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.160 only imagine the demand that it took on my body, 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.840 because still mentally, that was a grind to be there 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.920 over twelve hours a day, sitting there going straight from meeting, 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.640 going to practice, running full speed you just don't have 0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.280 on pass. And then the next one coming out there 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.640 hitting each other. And then for y'all guys to go 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.520 out there and actually do too full padded practice, that 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.360 was different within itself to where I see why the 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:09.160 league life span was so short. So for me it 0:08:09.320 --> 0:08:12.480 was it was a grind. Like now you got the restrictions. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.240 Even when I came in, you had the restriction of 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.720 how many hours you can practice, how many meeting hours 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:19.800 you can have, And it's up to the coaches discretion 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:21.840 if they want to take all that or give all 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.800 that off. If you got a veteran team, you know, 0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.440 they might cut you a little seleg But most of 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.400 the teams that I was a part of, we were 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.800 all young, but you had certain vets in there to 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.959 where it was taxing mentally physically, And so I can 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.880 only imagine y'all tell me how y'all's were. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:38.640 It sucks. I mean it was you got you got 0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:39.920 the to full of full. 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:40.360 Yeah. 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.280 My first two years was the you know, no restrictions. 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.120 You in there for the new CV, before the new CD. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.560 You was in there no matter what. And my feet 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:49.640 still hurt to this day. 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:49.920 Man. 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.760 And it sucks because you you going early in the morning, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.280 you running it as a dB. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.839 We run it all over the place, sweating like crazy. 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.719 And if you didn't have your shoes, and if you 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.640 didn't have your shoes in the right spot to drive off, man, 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.719 you putting your feet back in them soggy cleat small. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.880 For your second practice. Shoulder pads might be a little damp. 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.960 Still, it's like, and not to mention that, you know, 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:15.760 obviously we know. The NFL, I'm looking at the camera 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.760 is a non hazing organization. They do not do that, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.840 but those team bonding moments that you had with the day, 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.920 and that's what say you say that you carry you pass, 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.040 say you don't get somebody they food the right way. 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:29.160 All of a sudden you got you a long snapper 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.880 that throw your clothing the cold tub and then you 0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:34.199 gotta get it. I'm getting to wear all that. So 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:36.440 you also had that on your back. 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.160 As well, and it just sucked overall. 0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.679 But you know, thank goodness at least for me that 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.199 you know, I was under Uncle Wade for my first 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.960 year and Uncle way Man the more the ultimate players coach, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.719 he would. I mean sometimes we come back off there 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:51.320 for for our second padded practice. 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:53.679 He was just looking around like know what fellas the 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:54.120 pads off? 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:55.040 Take them all? 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.400 You know what helmets on? And man, we thought, well 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:04.680 man granted, because it wasn't nothing like that for me, by. 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.520 The way, real quick what Barry was talking about. But 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:07.160 Wade was here. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:13.680 You know what they called it camp Cupcake complain about camp. 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:19.200 I was there for the Jimmy practice. I was covered Jimmy. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:21.120 That's why I said I don't want no part of 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.559 Rod may Nelli when he used to have a brickyard. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.360 George I'm like, bro, it's kind of like it was 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.680 over there my first year with the Titans. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.840 You know. We of course we had Jeff Fisher. He 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.000 was a young coach at the time. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.120 She was well, you know, and and everything about that 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.920 was just contact and being physical. We had to have 0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.840 nasty peers. We called him nasty periods. We had nasty 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.199 periods every day, all right. And then we had this 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.800 thing where even if we just had on uppers, just 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.480 the shelves and helmets, you know what I'm saying, you 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:50.720 could still get fitted up. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:54.320 You can still and so you know. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.520 So then they would try to get slick with it, right, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.840 they'd be like, okay, like we're gonna have two day practice, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.640 but then we're gonna cut off sack because one of 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.040 them two day practices might be a special teams practice. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.439 Boy what dB ain't on all special teams, but. 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.199 You had to play special teams now, you know, mister 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.360 con money over here. 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:16.080 After he left the Cowboys. 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:18.800 We know, I'm just saying, but me myself, there's been 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.240 a spell of my whole career. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:25.040 Boy, hey, every day, so you know so, But one 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:26.880 of the good things about it was that when it 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.920 did change a little bit like, let me tell you something, man, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.439 because it was tough, like where Barry was talking about 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.360 your shoes, you messed around, had the wrong shoes or 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.640 don't get planning fasci itis like I had. 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.920 My rookie year.

We don't care who you are, what you 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.280 came in because that year you had a second round pick, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.880 in a third round pick in the locker room. 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:19.600 So as d Lineman. So it was like, hey, we're 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:20.280 gonna hump. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.120 Y'all, but we also need to show y'all what's going on, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.280 because this is professionalism. Like what you do right now 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.640 reflects us, Like we ain't got time to be We 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:30.280 can't afford to be torturing YouTube right now when we 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:32.640 just lost last year or we just won last year. 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:34.520 Oh hey we won, So we're trying to keep this 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:37.480 going right now, coming off this momentum. So that's why 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:39.720 I say it's different. You go to Seattle locker room, 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.040 the guys like Cliff April, Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, like 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.880 all those guys, they had a certain thing where like 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.840 they can trip on you and you know, kind of 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.480 get that camaraderie boys we boys moment, but also say hey, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.120 at the end of the day, we grown men. Let's 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:56.560 respect you. And then, like I said, you go to 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.360 other organizations. Not gonna call them names out, but you 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:03.160 had those vets where it was like, bro, yeah, let 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.040 me get outside the. 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:06.120 He'll fit your line, crossing a. 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.800 Line, don't don't let you get mad at him. And 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.440 he sits there and be like, hey, coach, rookie, get mad. 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:14.680 Let me get him fine to this. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.400 And that better. Yeah, you got all these big dogs 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:19.680 jumping on you. It's like, how we're gonna see. 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:21.800 How hard you can fight, and it's underestimated. 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.200 Like you was talking about earlier, the mental aspect of 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:27.000 training camp, I mean that it's almost as hard, if 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.400 not harder than the physical part. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.880 When are you coming in as a rookie. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.280 You're trying to learn all these different playbooks and how 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.720 you're supposed to be a professional terminology terminology. And then 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.640 there was times where early in camp, we you know 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:39.160 about this, were we in San Antonio. 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.320 That was our first before we went to Oxen our 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:44.040 year round. We was in San Antonio half of the camp, 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.280 and it would be times where you don't even see 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.440 the light of day because you're practicing in an Halohold dome. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:49.240 Coming in and. 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:52.880 It's about thirty six o'clock in the morning, the sun 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:54.760 an even up. Yet by the time you get out 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.560 of there, it's dark and you're just like, man, what 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:57.200 did the day go? 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:00.720 The mental gymnastics you gotta do it camp as a 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:02.360 young and is wold man as well. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:09.600 This was a fun segment guy education for those and 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.920 that's that's that's what the players line is. We're trying 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.720 to give the fans out there inside of what's going 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.720 on here. So all three of you played in the league, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.160 so this is fascinating. Uh I gotta get to break, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:24.040 but fascinating. When we come back, I want you all 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.840 to give me the player you want to be looking 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.440 at a training camp like I need to watch this 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.240 player because I am very interested in what this player 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.520 can bring. Come training camp when it starts at OUK 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:35.080 start in July. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:35.840 We'll do it next. 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.280 Barry Trey Anthony, I'm knew he. This is the players 0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.320 Lone brought you by Aristocrat Gaming on Das Cawy. 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:43.320
