I notice I'll go online 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.000 and look at the YouTube stuff that we do Command 0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:08.000 Center training camp, and the first thing everyone says. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:09.399 Is, we're smooth. We're smooth. 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:09.920 Where smooth? 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:10.400 Where you been? 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.360 Well, you know what, I had to deal with the 0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:14.000 ex wife. So at the end of the day, I 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:14.520 had to go. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.800 Take care of my bending. Plus I had actually lost 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:17.440 my voice. 0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:20.360 I think the old of them getting jinks I'm developing 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.679 a dairy like I don't respond to milk the way 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.720 I used to, So I think I'm developing an allergy 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.080 or something to milk. And I love milk like I'm 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.920 wonder the people like I will drink it. Ninety degree 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.240 driggers are like under a special umbrella. 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.440 Yes we are, Yes, we are. 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:35.880 No. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:37.679 I don't know if I'm stilling one of them or not, 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.560 Like I think I'm getting let toolson tolerant. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.600 Okay, does it affect your voice or anything like? 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.280 Yes, it did make my voice. It made it made 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.280 my glance swell up and stuff like this. So I 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:47.720 was like, you know what, I need to step away 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.680 from the milk for a second. So now I'm drinking 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.040 like one percent milk right now. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.480 You can't give it up completely, No, I can't give 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:54.720 it up, but I'm addicted to it. 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.280 So I'm glad you're backing everyone else's glide your back. 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.880 When you talk about training camp, everyone's says the kids 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.080 say the vibes. What are the vibes like when you 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.640 walk out here, just when you feel the fans, when 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.560 you see the cheam practice with the vibes like here. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:12.480 Energy energy, energy, energy, the rebirth. We've been a sleeping 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.560 giant for so long, like the only thing. I ain't 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.200 even focused on the players. I've only been focused on 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.560 the crowd. I've been focused on the fans. I've been 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.480 focused on the energy. I've been focused on the families. 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.359 Like I've seen fans. But now I'm starting to see 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.079 the young fans come back out like the. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:28.760 Three year olds. 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.840 Some kids throwing past it out there. Yeah, that's what 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.919 I'm talking That's how you build a fan base. It 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.000 ain't about the fans you got now. It's about the 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.839 fans of tomorrow and right now. And the one thing 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.320 that when coach Gibbs was here. He was big on family. 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.639 He was big on the fact that people came here 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:46.240 with their sons, their fathers, that the daughters, and this 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.160 is their part of their memory. Now we got that back. 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:52.400 We got that back in Washington football at his finest. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.440 When I made it here, no one the fan base 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.639 was pretty much alive. I'm alive and well. And I'm 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.520 happy that John Allen, I'm happy that Tyry make Loan 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.240 get to feel that because they deserve that. These guys 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:05.280 go out there and play their ass off and they don't. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.280 And I love the fact that now they got a 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:08.519 full fan base behind me. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.280 And I think it's almost come full circle too. You 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.040 think about the new ownership group of Josh Harris is 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:15.280 said he grew up with this keep he remembers Joe Gibbs. 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.240 So it's like, now I'm going to bring it back 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:18.160 to the way it was. 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.400 Yes, Yes, nostalgia is everything. 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:22.480 Like if you ever want to sell somebody something, you 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.360 can sell them my old shoe if it got nostylegia 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:24.919 hook to it. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.320 And that's what it's about, he remembers. 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:31.200 And that's like the one thing we forget about sports 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.840 is it's the ultimate reality show. It's the longest running 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.320 reality show of all time. But it's one thing that 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:43.640 brings everybody together. It brings down people together under one roof, 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.080 under one caught against the team? Are you cheating for 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.880 the team? It brings us together. And that's what we 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.640 had lost for a couple of years here. 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:54.160 So we know the fans are excited and it definitely 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:55.880 is a new era. But when you watch practice, and 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.320 I know a lot of times you guys will focus 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.440 on different position groups, whatever it is, what's the one 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:00.640 group getting the guys? 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:02.800 What's one group? Right now that you've been a pressbury. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.800 You gotta talk about this d line like you know 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.440 what I want to talk about the DB's I'm biased. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:12.520 I'm always about to cover specially thought to see. 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.640 But guess what, them big boys, they just they look 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.080 the part. They are the part. This is what we 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.280 spent most of our draft capital at. Those guys are 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:23.880 said in the tone, it's getting to the point sometimes 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.839 we can't even watch practice because they are ruining it. 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:31.000 They are ruining practice the defense. So I'm dominating. And 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.080 I was just talking to Jack del Rio out there today, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.800 He's like he got the smirk. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:36.120 On his face. 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.120 He can't smirk that he can get us anything that 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:41.599 he wants to call. And like he said, you know, 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.599 smooth like every training camp, the defense we started faster 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.640 than him because our plays are are pretty much isolated 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.640 plays and we can run and we can go play fast. 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.760 Where they got to get that timing down. But he 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:54.200 was like, at the end of the day, we are 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.520 setting the tone. We are dominating, and I expect for 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.800 them to dominate. And it ain't nothing like a defensive 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.159 when he got his dogs and he got his people 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.239 that he trusts, because football all about trust. 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:05.720 You keep hearing that. 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.880 Obviously these guys are good, but that definitely makes the 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:10.880 secondary makes their job easy. 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.159 How much is if I had a D line like this, 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.880 I would have never backed up and I could have 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.560 played with a been down on my eyes. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.360 I didn't need nothing. I could applied. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.880 I could have played blind with this defensive line because 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:21.320 at the end. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:22.720 Of the day, we are tailored. 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:27.120 My success is tailing to the defensive line. Like quarterbacks 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:32.000 in NFL don't make mistakes. Uncomfortable quarterbacks make mistakes, right, well, 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.720 my D line is gonna be the reason that they 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.159 are uncomfortable. My d line gonna be the reason that 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.039 they throwing out their back foot. Are they throwing at 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:40.600 a tab bit too early? Then they supposed to do it. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.400 So at the end of the day, man, you were 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.640 full of saint juice. They you're gonna make your money 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.560 with this defensive line. And no, don't just talk about 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.360 you know, everybody talk about pain, everybody talk about Hall. 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.919 Don't forget about them too defensive. Listen to me, Chase 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:57.240 Young will have his best year as a produce. I'm 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.400 gonna go out that contract years, some of our contract 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.400 years to do it. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:01.880 For now I know it. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.320 Like, if you ever want to see the best of 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.760 friend smooth, put me in a contract year, Jinx what 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:06.480 you do, put me in. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:08.920 A contract Yeah, you can get the best out of me. 0:06:09.279 --> 0:06:11.640 And Sweat is another guy that he's been right there, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.400 like right there at fifteen secs right there because he's 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.800 touching the quarterback. And every chance I think this is 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.960 the year that he turns into the Montes Sweat. We 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:19.600 know he can be. 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.320 It is to get podcast red s Michael Jenkins presented 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.960 by a seat geek. So it took what I'm looking 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.799 at the clock here, it took about five six minutes 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.080 to get to Emanuel Forbes. But listen, performance is performance. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.320 It's not just you. Everyone's saying this guy looks like 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:33.880 the real deal. 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.280 I told you he was the real deal. Listen, I'm 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.520 not a shoe salesman. I'm not at Bundy, but but 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.680 I can tell football tally like I'm not biased. I 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:45.320 was never biased for him going to Missippi State with 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:47.760 breaking my rep because with him doing all the stuff. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.080 He's doing, I was looking at the player. 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.960 I legitly said, I think he's the best cornerback in 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.039 college football. 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.200 And his interceptions, if you go back and study. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.599 Him, they are not what I call in the play 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:01.680 interceptions mean you may the right decision, you backpedal the right, 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.760 you did everything you need to do, you got the interception. 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.840 He studies for these interceptions, like the interception in Kentucky 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.200 against Will Levies on the screenplay, Like that's because he studied, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.000 he believed what he studied, and he put it on 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.640 film like this's the thing that he does. And he's 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.960 silky smooth and he's light as a feather. I tell 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.200 people all the time, it's harder. Go outside. Right now, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.920 grab a rock and grab a berry feather. Try to 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.760 throw both of them. See which one of you throw? 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.800 The father right the feather you cannot throw, and he 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.280 is that feather. I hit one hundred and seventy five 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.320 pounds and guess what talking to Damn Green. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:35.520 Damn Green got here. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.160 He was one hundred and seventy four pounds. My first 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.440 way in I was one seventy five. We really one 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.720 seventy five. I'm gonna tell you something too, Jinx. I 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:44.720 don't tell many people this. I went in the weight 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:47.680 room and I tried to put like five pound weights 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.680 in my uh like in my shorts, and Redman my 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.880 training at the time, he was like, boy, you wanna 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:54.120 take this. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:54.480 Story of that. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.920 Hey, I was one hundred and seventy five pounds and 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.239 he told me, then, it ain't about your weight, about 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.240 your game. And I tell you that. I told Manuel 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.000 four this. If they can't hate on your game, they'll 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.240 hate on your frame. So at the end of the day, 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.600 just go out there and ball out. And that's what 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:11.920 he does. That's what he does. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.760 So what was your welcome to the NFL moment in 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.480 training camp? Because for as the rookie, you were there 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:19.400 one time and this is that time of year when 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:21.760 you learned real quick the difference between college NFL. 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:22.920 Oh you real well? 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.120 My thing was I held out for like three four 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:27.680 days for extra money like this. 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.080 That's how irrogant of a rookie I was. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.559 And then when I got to training camp in colli Oude, Pennsylvania, 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.120 Marty Seanhaemer was my coach, and Marty was like, you know. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:38.680 What we already know. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:41.760 He couls cover my first day of practice and he 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.559 was like, put him at middle linebacker. 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:44.760 I'm like what what? 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.120 He like, Yes, we're finna do gold line and put 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.880 him at middle linebacker and let's see can he tackle? 0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:54.240 And Donee Bennett is the full back and Stephen Davis 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:54.920 is the tail back. 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.319 Oh my god. I get in the huddle. Bruce Smith 0:08:58.400 --> 0:08:58.880 look at me and. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.199 Say, you know what, boy, don't wait on them, go 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.079 die in that hole, meaning. 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.920 Go a hell be the aggressor go diwn here. 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.959 For four five plays, I just rammed in there like 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.720 I don't know what happened. All I know I got 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:17.320 destroyed in there, destroyed in there, but I kept getting 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.160 back up, and I think that's what he wanted to see. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:22.040 He took me down through that and then not only 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.080 after that, after that hard practice that I had, I 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.760 started to walk back to me to the dorm room 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.880 where we were staying in, and as I walked through, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:32.440 I was like I started to see shoes on the 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.079 ground and pillows on the ground, Like. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.040 I got shoes, look just like that. I got a shirt, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:37.560 looked like that. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.960 I get in my room. They venceed and through all 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.640 of my stuff after wonder, all of my clothes, all 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:48.200 of my shoes, my TV, everything is just laying on 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.480 the grain. So I started getting haze like very quickly. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.600 They was really at me. I had fun though, and 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.079 I knew they like, like Coach shot Iven told me, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:58.440 they only do it because they like you. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.720 Right now, that's true. That's a of almost like your 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:01.200 part of team. 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:06.320 You like you, you rookie, you starting, Yeah, they gonna 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:07.120 give you a little heat. 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.280 So when you talk about just running hitting the hole 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:10.880 like that, you know you're gonna get killed. Oh yeah, 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.160 I'm gonna kids, So how much of that? 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.760 It's just like I got to under respect I. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.320 Got right now, Well. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.080 He's gonna think about it. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.400 I think this is what we realized very quickly coming 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.160 from college is these are grown men and what I 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.880 did was I realized, like, like it takes like three 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.120 or four weeks for you to wipe the starscruck out 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.000 off of you, Like I would just sit and watch 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.360 they are green, Like I was just amazed that I'm 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.160 on the team with Dale Green and Bruce Smith, Like 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.680 it took three four weeks for me to wipe that off. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.440 And I was like, you know what, I gotta go 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.079 earn these guys respect. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.880 I got to go show them that Fred smooth and 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.800 play football and now I only play football. I got 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.680 to show them that I could play on the level. 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:53.679 And I would just remember. I sit down and I 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:56.800 talked to Davis's Green and I was like, Daryl, how 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:59.520 do you keep a job for twenty years? 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.440 Everybody's going after yours? Yes, And he said, you know 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:06.480 what's smooth? He was like, what's my backup name? I 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.079 was like, I don't know your backup name, like cause 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.200 I never let him play and it's simple. 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.280 Like when he told me that, I was like, I'm 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:15.360 not gonna miss any games. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.720 Yeah, And that's how I always was. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.240 I never missed a game in high school. I never 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.320 missed a game in college. I didn't miss my first 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.360 pro game until like my sixth year in the league, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.600 Like I just never missed games. Like the best ability 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.720 is availability. Can't you be there for me? And Darrel 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:33.360 Green told me that in one statement, He's like, you 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.400 don't know my backup name, and you'll never know my 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:36.040 backup name. 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.560 Oh God, I love that. That's why he's a Hall 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:41.000 of Famer right now. That's why he's there Green, Like 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.920 at the end of the day. And I've been I'm 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.040 a sponge, I'm a leech. I like to I like 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:49.160 to soak up just knowledge from people. So and that's 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.000 so usually talk to you if you if you sit 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.720 down and talk to me. And most rookies ain't as 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:53.600 talkative as I am. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.520 I came in. I'm talkative. I asked questions. I don't 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.160 really care. And you gotta realize my first dB room, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:01.680 I walked out of it when I walked in there. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.600 When I first walked in my dB room, I had 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:09.240 dal Green, Dion Sander's champ Bailey. There's a three yellow jackets, God, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.200 three yellow jackets intimidated. 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.520 You had to be Oh, Mark carried your sam shake, 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.960 I'm carry it. You love them. I walked out. 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:20.920 I walked in there and I walked back out of 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.199 there and I asked Mary Shane, why did you draft me? 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:27.680 He was like, son, go go in that room. We 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.719 drafted you for a reason. All right, go in there. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.559 Learn everything you can learn. You you the future. 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.160 But it was just so it wasn't intimidating, timid, but 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.440 it was like it was it showed me what the 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:41.120 league is about. 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.680 Yeah, So when did you feel like, all right, now 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.560 I met it. Maybe it wasn't your rookie season, but 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.160 when was it when you felt like, okay, I belong here. 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:56.800 I felt in preseason immediately, usually immediately I felt like 0:12:56.880 --> 0:13:01.199 I belonged through practice. Checking my grisp, Rod Gardner. I 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.480 had already dominated him in college, so I wasn't worried 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.280 about him. My first preseason game was Kansas City. Martin 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.440 Marty was my coach Kansas City, and they tried to 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:13.840 throw three fade routes in a row on me in 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.040 the goal line with Snoop Minice, which was another rookie 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.720 at that time. I broke up all three of them. 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.080 Then I knew, I said, you know what, I not 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:25.040 only belong I could dominate it. I could dominate it time. 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.280 What's your favorite story from your rookie season. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:29.440 Could be someone else, it could be you where you 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:29.920 just look. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.520 Back and think, I can't believe that happened my rookie season. 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.280 Well, probably my first game, okay, my first game of 0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:39.800 the year, my rookie year San Diego. We went played 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:44.640 the Chargers Doug Flutie. I remember being in this game 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.360 and watching the game because when I'm not on the field, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:50.600 I still like, really pay attention to the game, and 0:13:50.679 --> 0:13:54.760 Junior say, oh God, bless you NATed. Listen to me. 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.760 I thought it was three of him out there, like 0:13:57.880 --> 0:13:59.360 every player. All I heard was juniors say I on 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.679 attack of Junior say, I'm like, I said, how many? 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:02.559 How many of them? 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:02.920 Is? It? 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.920 Like? Dominated the game? And I went out there and 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.280 have a very imprinsive game. I got my first interception, 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.200 I got a fund of recovery, I had like eight 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.720 tagers I was I got like defensive player of the week. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:16.680 So that was the game that just did it for me. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.800 I was stockscruck, but at the same time out there 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.000 held in my business. But it was like surreal to me. 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.720 It was from the national anthem to everything, and I 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:33.080 never forget playing on that dirt field listen the old y'all, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.040 listen to me. The worst field in football I had, Like, 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.720 I was like, this cannot be pro football. I had 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:39.760 just left their sec you know. 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:40.920 It's the worst of like the vet. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:42.560 It was worse than the vet. 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.120 The only thing that made the vet worse it had 0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.560 a jail house at the bottom up. 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:48.440 That's the only thing that made the vent work. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:52.800 But really like a real jau like yo. Philly fans 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.160 looked at that as a badge of curve pride in 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:01.120 the fact that I spent the weekend in jail. All right, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.920 look Mike Rookie him at of fact, we had a 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.640 game got stopped on Monday night because there was a 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.960 fight in the stands at the bit and they took 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.600 everybody to jail downstairs. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.400 Weren't there players.
