21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: all the veterans, never forget all those out there, Sam,

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: what's those veterans out there in this world meaning to you? Man? Man,

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. You know, I have family that was

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: in us that we're in the service, and you know,

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: we're very thankful for everything. Obviously with all the things

26
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,680
Speaker 1: that are happening out there, I'm very supportive and we're

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: extremely grateful for the service that these veterans have done

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: for us because we have to be protected, especially now,

29
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: veterans kind kind of like the offensive line. You know

30
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like what I mean by the offensive

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: line is you don't never talk about the offensive line

32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: less something happens, right, if everything is all good, then

33
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: you talk about, oh did you see that play? The quarterback,

34
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. But man, y'all'll never show love to

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: the folks that's protecting you all the time at the

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: groundholl not the ground. They'd have forgotten guy. They'd have

37
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,639
Speaker 1: forgotten guys. But you know, my dad was offensive linement,

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: So I know, you know, it all starts with the

39
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: offense and defensive line. And you know we let the

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: pretty boys stay pretty speaking speaking to that man, I mean, Sam,

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: before we talk about what you're doing. Now, let's go

42
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: back to the beginning. Man, you've been around football your

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: whole life. Like I said, you were draft picked by

44
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: the Seahawks back in the day. But before that, before

45
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: you were Texas A and m Aggie, before all that,

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: When did you know football was gonna be your life? Man?

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, I never really thought it wasn't gonna be

48
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: anything different. You know, when I was born, you know,

49
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I was born in Texas and my dad played for

50
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, and so we moved back and

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: forth from New England to Houston, and I mean it

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: was always a thing where I'm gonna be a football player.

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: I didn't know that it was a job. And for

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: those that played for a long time, they don't treat

55
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: it as a job. They treat it as this is

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: something I do. I want to be the best at

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and I love it, right. And so if you're blessed

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: enough to play something or to do something that you love,

59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: it's not it's not work. When it starts to come

60
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and work is when it's time to start doing something else. Yeah. Yeah. So,

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: and so you saw your dad as an offensive lineman.

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: You saw him and how long did he play? He

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: played for twelve years? Wow? Years? And man, so you

64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: was just around it the entire time. And then so

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: in high school you playing and then of course what

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: made you decide to go to Texas A and M

67
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: and be an aggon? You know first of all growing

68
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: up that they're the butt of every joke. Aggies. You know,

69
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: I actually wanted to go to University of Texas. I mean,

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: SC and Texas probably were the two that I really,

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: I really want to go to. But it felt like

72
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: a family at Texas A and M. You know, they didn't.

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, recruiting back then was crazy. I mean they

74
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: were showing at your doorstep there there at the school.

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean it was, you know, the rules were not

76
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: like it is. And so I decided to go to

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Texas at M because it felt like a family atmosphere

78
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: and I felt like I could trust them. And it

79
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: was a good decision because you know, they're still in

80
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: my lives today. Yeah, no doubt about that. So let's

81
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: go ahead, and I want to talk about to get

82
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: drafted by the Seahawks, when you first got the phone

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: call and found out you were getting drafted to the Seahawks,

84
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: and tell us about that day. Man, when I got

85
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: drafted by Seattle, I was like, where is Seattle. It's

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: not like it wasn't smarter or anything, but you know,

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks really at that time, it wasn't something that

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: you really thought about, you know it they weren't They

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: weren't very good. And you know, Cortes Kennedy and Michael

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Sinclair were here and Michael McCrary and I mean they

91
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: had all the pieces. And so I was grateful for

92
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity. I was thankful to be able to play

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: next to a legend and who became a friend and

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: mentored me through my career, and so it was a blessing.

95
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: But I was like, man, Seattle, it rains up there,

96
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: and and so when I got here, we were bad

97
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: and it was rain. I think it had like ninety

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: four straight days of rain my rookie and we were

99
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. But I had a blast. I had fun,

100
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I was playing with Hall of famers

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and in all pros all around me. So you know,

102
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: we got it together and eventually got him where they

103
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: are now, and we kind of laid the foundation for him.

104
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: You know, I've never had I mean I've met quartet

105
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: Kennedy a bunch of times. I got to know him.

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: But I've never really got to really have conversations with

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: those who actually were in that D line room with

108
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: quartet Kennedy. So because it's a difference. It's one thing

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: to play on the team with quartets or to have

110
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: known quartets, but to say, no, no, no no, hass I

111
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: was in that D line room with quartets. Talk about

112
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: those experiences. Man, you know, it was up and down

113
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: in that room. I mean you kind of had to

114
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: be a tough guy to be in that room because

115
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: it was dog eat dog. I mean, at one point

116
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: in time, four of us in that room, we're in

117
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Four of us off the starting four.

118
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: We're all in the Pro Bowl. Not a lot of

119
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 1: people can't say that. And so you know, if you

120
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 1: if you're if you're not pulling your weight, it could

121
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: be a bad day for you. Because if Saint Clair's

122
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: not getting two or three sacks, mccartt McCrary getting two

123
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: or three, Cortez is always getting to the quarterback and

124
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: putting pressure. And then you have myself, as a young buck,

125
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: I was like, man, if I don't go, if I

126
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: don't do what I had to do, I'm gonna look bad.

127
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: So I didn't like that at all. And I was

128
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: brought there to take the pressure off of him so

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: that he could really be special. And I thought I

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: did that while I was here. I had five and

131
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: a half sacks my rookie year, and I was but

132
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: take that pressure off. But I'll tell you what, man,

133
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: in that room, if you're not if you're not doing

134
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: your thing, the coach didn't really had to say too much,

135
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: even though he did. Tommy Brader was a tough guy,

136
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: but it was it was real bad for you, really bad.

137
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: And then we had Joe Nash who was a fourteen

138
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: year NFL VET as well that you know, he'd been

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: to a few Pro bowls himself, so it you know, basically,

140
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: it was a strong room, high character and if you

141
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: weren't accountable, man, it would be really tough for you

142
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: to get along in that room. All right, Well, I mean,

143
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: can you give us some stories, man? We can. We

144
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: have a story that maybe none of us don't know about.

145
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: It's something that you remember, a funny story. Come on,

146
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: I know you got some good story. Vic Sam, that's

147
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: something that happened in that d line room or on

148
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 1: the team. I tell you that one of the things.

149
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: I remember this was the funniest thing that had happened,

150
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: because Cortez was a prankster. He's a joker. If you

151
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: can't if you didn't have a good sense of him,

152
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: he couldn't deal with him. But so I would remember

153
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: this like it was yesterday. So we had a cat

154
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: come in, Philip Daniel's young cat. He's a D line

155
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: coach now for the Philadelphia Eagles, and we were playing

156
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Ntorta had this special guard named Random mcdanel.

157
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer as well, good friends with Cortez,

158
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: and I remember we were out there and we get

159
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: to the sideline and the coaches like, man, what is

160
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: going on, Cortel? You're not getting any pressure? I mean, Sam,

161
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Sam is getting double team, So what is the problem.

162
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: He the only one getting double team. He's like, man, Random,

163
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: Randall's on it today. Randall is on it. So we

164
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: go in for a couple more series and they send Philip.

165
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: In the very first play, Philip gets a sack on

166
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Random McDaniel. Oh, the very first play. So we get

167
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: so we get to the sideline and so Saint Clair

168
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: like so m Cortez Randold's really on it today, isn't he?

169
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: He said, Man, Philips should have got a SEC. I

170
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: softed him up for him. I will never forget that,

171
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: Never forget that I softed him up from him all game. Okay,

172
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: what's one of the biggest lessons that you can say

173
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: that you can take away from your relationship from Cortez Kennedy.

174
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: I know you had probably many lessons. You can pick

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: one or two lessons that you take away from what

176
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: you learn from Quartez that you know that you carry

177
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: out through the rest of your career and maybe throughout

178
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: the rest of your life. You know, he would always

179
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: he taught me how to treat people. I think that

180
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: was the best thing, because I was not great, and

181
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking that everything's a war and it's

182
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: a battle, and you know, in between plays, he would

183
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: talk to the game. You know, it's all good man,

184
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: good play, And I was like, dog, how was that

185
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: a good play? I mean they won, maybe that's our enemy,

186
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: And he's like, look, Sam, you know one you gotta

187
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: always talk to the opponents because it softens them up

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: a little bit, and because they are nervous and if

189
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: you are everything that they advertise, they are already on edge,

190
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: so he softened them up a little bit. And then

191
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: you always speak to the referees. Referees have the most

192
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: difficult job of anybody, and so when you start talking

193
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: to them instead of you know, they call off sides

194
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: or it is holding and yelling at them, then you'll

195
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: never get to call you on. So when I learned that,

196
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I started getting voted to go into Pro bowls. I

197
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: stopped getting as many penalties. And it kind of taught me,

198
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter what they do. It's about

199
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: your acts, and your actions people will remember. And when

200
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: they remember, they remember at times where you need them

201
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: to remember it. And so if you treat people right,

202
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: they will always respond. Man. That's that's deep. That's that's

203
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: real deep right there. And then so you were Seahawk,

204
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 1: you're playing, you're bawling, and then what happened, Like we

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: thought the Seahafics is gonna keep you forever. I thought

206
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: so too. I thought so too. Mike Omberan came in

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: left for right five twenty left left, Mike Own came

208
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: in and Mike omber came in. Um, it wasn't a

209
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: good year, basically, brouh right before the season started, our

210
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Friz Trmer died and made a year even

211
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 1: more difficult for everyone, and so we were end up

212
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: nine and seven. The first time that we went to

213
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It was a blessing. After the season. You

214
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: wanted to keep me. I knew I was on top

215
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 1: of my game, but he the way he negotiated, he

216
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: wanted to wait. And so I told a wife, I'm

217
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: gonna get on the road. You know, Cortez ad buys me,

218
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: say me to get on the road. See what else

219
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: is out there? And I waited for a little bit.

220
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Our offensive line coach from Seattle went to Green Bay

221
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: and gave me a call, and Ozzie knew some who

222
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: knew my father gave us a call. So we went

223
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: on a trip to Baltimore and Green Bay. It's funny.

224
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: I couldn't even get the deal done in Baltimore. So

225
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: I was like, I'm going to the airport. I left,

226
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: went to the airport, checked in, had my bags on

227
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: the plane already in Baltimore. Call stop, what are you doing?

228
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Why don't you at the hotel? And I was like, bro, y'all, y'all,

229
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: ain't take care of business. I'm going to Green Bay.

230
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 1: I'd already I got an agreement, no, don't leave, and

231
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: they convinced me not to leave. I stayed, went to

232
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: the super Bowl and the rest is history. Did you

233
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl? And for those watching right now, look,

234
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: I know this is driving with Ge. We talked Seahawks stuff,

235
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: but I mean, come on now, Sam Adams played fourteen

236
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 1: years Super Bowl champion and arguably, you know, one of

237
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: the best defenses of all time. View you know what

238
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: I'm saying. The two thousand Ravens and the two thousand

239
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: thirteen Seahawks is in the conversation. But that two thousand

240
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: Ravens team, man, man, what made that defense so good?

241
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: What I mean, you and Ray Lewis and Sarah Goosa

242
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: to oh my goodness made it so good? Ed Reid?

243
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: You know, like I like we were talking about earlier,

244
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: it's not about what you know, It's not about what

245
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: you think you're doing. It's about what you're doing today.

246
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: We wanted to win a Super Bowl, but we didn't

247
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: make that the point. We wanted to go out every

248
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:12,119
Speaker 1: day wasn't a job and dominate each and every opponent

249
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: that we had, starting in practice. If you practice against us,

250
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: you were gonna if you don't bring it, you don't

251
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: get beat down. Now, we didn't practice. You know, we're

252
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: not going two days every day, but when we get

253
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: in there, we're going hunting. And so we practice a

254
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 1: little bit different than everyone else. We had a competition.

255
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: We had a competition period every every day where the

256
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: first team offense was going against the first team defense.

257
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: First team win against first team, first team win against

258
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: first team in practice. So we made each other better.

259
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: You know, you get these teams nowadays, the especially these

260
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: high schools, they don't practice with pads on. You don't

261
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: have to bang as much, and so forth. But we

262
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: went out there in practice, out our periods, but then

263
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: we competed so that we kept our edge, and then

264
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: when we got out on the field, we had that edge.

265
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: We weren't trying to win the game. We were trying

266
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: to physically dominate you and demoralize you so that you

267
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: never wanted to play against us again. And we had

268
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: a mindset and a temperament and an attitude. We were

269
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: playing hard and fast, and it was just a different

270
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: thing than I had ever played other places. That felt

271
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: like it was fake. It felt like they were pretending

272
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: to try to do it, and there we lived it.

273
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: We lived it on the field, we lived it off

274
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: the field, and it was ingrained in us. And so

275
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: I thought that Ozzie, like we did here with the Seahawks,

276
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I thought that did a great job of drafting and

277
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: bringing in guys that fit the mold. Now they talk

278
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: about people talk about a good fit and so forth,

279
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: but people still have to kind of conform. He brought

280
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: guys for Marvin Lewis's defense that knew of that lived

281
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: that way on and off the field, that were tough

282
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 1: guys that didn't talk about it, that we're all about it,

283
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: and that had a different goal than making millions of million. Well,

284
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: everybody wanted to make money, but it had a different goal.

285
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: End of the money, had a different goal than you know,

286
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: just winning. They were talking about legacy. You know what

287
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 1: does our footprints in there? Saying gonna look like who

288
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: are we? How are we going to be remembered when

289
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: we're done with this season? Is it? You know, they

290
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: were a good team that didn't get it done, or

291
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: it became we are the most dominant force to ever

292
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: crace this field. And then if we take care of

293
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: the little things, we'll get the big things. We'll get

294
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: the ring. We'll get every championship that we want. We

295
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: had the first we had to beat win our conference.

296
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean them jokers were good. At mean, we had

297
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders, we had the Tennessee Titans. I mean, they

298
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: were very good, Eddie George in those casts. It was

299
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: it was a physical conference, and so we had to

300
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: take one step at a time. And if you take

301
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,239
Speaker 1: one step at a time, you win your division, you

302
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: win your conference, you get to the super Bowl, and

303
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: you win that. Then I thought it was a pragmatic approach.

304
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: I mean the coach was very good. He was extremely organized,

305
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: kind of like Hormer, and that's why they had success,

306
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: right And when you see these when you saw the

307
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: success of the Seahawks here just recently with their run playoffs,

308
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: winning the super Bowl, did it remind you of what

309
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: you saw with the Ravens. It did a little bit.

310
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: I always thought that, you know, if I was still here,

311
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: they'd won two. I mean they did, let Jerome Bettis

312
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 1: run crazy on him, you know, the one year. But

313
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, I thought that when I looked at them

314
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: and they started playing really physical and aggressive, and they

315
00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: started bringing in like minded guys that were tough guys.

316
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: And always, for me, it always starts on the defense. Anyway,

317
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: like minded guys that were tough guys. I mean, they

318
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: had to bring in a couple of Aggies. They always

319
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: keeping agguet to on the defensive line, Brian South to

320
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: big Red Bryan always keeping Aggie up in there. And

321
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: then they they were really aggressive, had good coaching, and

322
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: that's the one thing when they have extremely well organized

323
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: coaches that always separates you. And then you bring in

324
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: guys that fit the fingerprint, not guys that have to

325
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: conform more so to your fingerprint. And so when I

326
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 1: looked at them, I mean I didn't think they were us,

327
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: but I thought that they because they were built a

328
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: little bit different. You know, they had smaller guys that

329
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: were physical and aggressive and so forth, and they had

330
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: bangers in the secondary, I mean bangers in the secondary.

331
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: And that was you know, it was fun to watch

332
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: them getting after the quarterback and how they were doing things.

333
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: They went about a little bit different again, but it

334
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: was exactly how it needed to be. If you look

335
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: at a lot of these a lot of teams don't win.

336
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: You don't want to get all the way over there.

337
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: But a lot of these teams don't win before defense,

338
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: and that's why they don't go to the super Bowl.

339
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: You know. I'm anxious to see what happens with these Rams,

340
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: you know, because it's been one or two times they've

341
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: given up a lot of points. They can score, but

342
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: they don't have that dominant force. When you look at

343
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: the dominant the dominant team, you know, if we can't score,

344
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: we ain't gonna win. If we can't score, we are

345
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: not gonna win. And so they kind of demoralize them

346
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: before they even get into the game. When you looked

347
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: at the Seahawks, you knew that if you can't control them,

348
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna get after you, if you can't slow them down,

349
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: because they pin their ears back every single down. And

350
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: I think the young bucks that they have now, they're

351
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: trying to learn how to do that. Yeah, they're trying

352
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: to learn how to you know, find their way and

353
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: so forth. I think that, you know, eventually there's some

354
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: young budding stars on that on that defense, but they

355
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: just gotta live with their they're preaching to them and

356
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: they gotta know the system and you know, play fast

357
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: and when you're able to do that and cut it loose.

358
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: Help help me understand this, like I've noticed that, not

359
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: to say that there weren't always you know, edge rushers,

360
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: because there were, but today the edge rusher that they

361
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: show today has really been highlighted today. How is that?

362
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: How are d lines different today than when you play?

363
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think they have a lot of

364
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: complete defensive tackles, and they have taken the defensive end

365
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: edge rusher, so to speak. And you know, he's really aligned.

366
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: He's smaller and quicker and faster. Um. But that has

367
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: been dictated to But that's on my side. Yeah, I

368
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: got you. I got you. That's been dictated to by

369
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: the defense, by the offensive tackles. Oh talk okay. I

370
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 1: mean you know, it's not a bunch of Walter Jones.

371
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: It's not any Walter Jones is out there. It's not

372
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: any Jonathan Augen is out there, Tony Basselli's it's not

373
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: you don't have a bunch of monsters running around. I

374
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: think that boy in Dallas might be the closest thing.

375
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying that, you know, that kind of dictated.

376
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: So you got the smaller, faster guys that have made

377
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: it a little more difficult. Uh, the speed rushers, and

378
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: then you don't have the monsters that are pushing the

379
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: pocket and you know, getting up the field and taking

380
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: on two and three dudes, and I mean it's a

381
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: little bit different. And because they had less of those,

382
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: teams started running more three four and hybrids and three

383
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: three fives. And it's because of the lack of the

384
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: monster defensive tackles that you know we're around when I played.

385
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: And you know, you got that boy, that Donaldson boy

386
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: and Saint Louis or not in Aaron donald that's his name,

387
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: and doing he can get down, he's he can go.

388
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: He can go. He's a John Ryndall type um. Not

389
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: as shifty, um, but he's the next he's the next

390
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: one up. He can really go. They're having a hard

391
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: time with him right right. So here we are present day,

392
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go ahead and be very transparent with everybody,

393
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: so everybody knows. Of course Sam is a Seahawks legend,

394

Speaker 1: an athlete, and you know we're raised him right, We've

409
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: been blessed. They have a lot of talent and they

410
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: utilize that talent though they you know, one thing you

411
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: can't say about my them jokers work and you know,

412
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: like little sound. Last night after football practice he goes

413
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: to Tracy Four's FSB and he works out again. And

414
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: his older brother out of high school, had to go

415
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: to junior college, had some surgeries, had to go to

416
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: junior college. Was in junior college for three years and

417
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 1: then he earned a scholarship to Arizona State. His daughter

418
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 1: I mean my daughter, their sister played AAU basketball AU

419
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: Basketball Different Beast now, Doug, I mean, you get done

420
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: with high school basketball, you gotta go play sixty some

421
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: games in the spring and summertime. And she grinded with

422
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: Emerald City and Jason Basket. And so I've been blessed

423
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: to have great people around them because it's not necessarily

424
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: everything that you do at the house, but it's the

425
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: people you surround your kids with. It's the people. It's

426
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: that's why we go to East Side Catholic. I wanted

427
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: them to be in a Christian environment. I wanted them

428
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: to be when I sent them to school with people

429
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: that I know are going to do the right thing

430
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: with them. And so they continue that message. And then

431
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: to Jeremy Theodbar, I mean the cat coach in college.

432
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: They run a college, a collegiate system, and hair preparing

433
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: them for the next level. My daughter wise, sam Lee

434
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: was my I was my daughter's AU coach. But sam

435
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 1: Lee at Juanita was a tough guy. You know, talk

436
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: about toughness. I want my kids to be tough because

437
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: it's not easy out there, and he was a tough guy.

438
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: He taught her what she needed to be, and so

439
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: we were blessed to have the right people around our kids,

440
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: you know, because a lot of kids have talent, they're

441
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: just not in the right environment with the right people.

442
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: And I think that we got our kids and with

443
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: the right people and it's helping them thrive on that. So,

444
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: uh of as far as in the future, what's on

445
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 1: the bucket list for Sam Adams? What's what's Sam Adams

446
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: wants to do for the rest of his life, Something

447
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: that's that you haven't done yet, that's on that bucket list.

448
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, to be honest with your brother being a

449
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: professional football player, you're the best that we can hope

450
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: to do is is continue a life of service after

451
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: we're done playing. Because we are entertainers, but we're more

452
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:55,360
Speaker 1: than just entertainers. And so if I can continue to

453
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: touch people's lives and helping these young kids, my kids

454
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: first and foremost, and these other kids that I'm able

455
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: to coach and be around, if we can teach him

456
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: the life of service and continue to serve, that would

457
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:12,320
