He matured big time. 54 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Like when he came in there. At first, you heard 55 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of like the little wide receive, you know, 56 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: all wide receivers they wanted the ball, and I heard 57 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: him a little bit like the first game.

Just like Foot said, when 91 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: that boys step on that grass during the week, y'all 92 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: business and you know, it's a trickle down effect.

And that's what 102 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: he would say to me, like, you know what, man, 103 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: this this this kid is whired different. He just forget 104 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: what everybody's talking about when it comes down to playing football. 105 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: I've had an opportunity to train with guys, three guys 106 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,119 Speaker 1: who I who I admire, who some of the hardest 107 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: workers I've known. One is Matt Forte, the other is 108 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: Frank Gore, and the last is Antonio Brown. Just being 109 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: around him every day and you see how hard he 110 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: works and and and like dynamic stretch. He has a 111 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: whole routine. He's the first one on the field. He's 112 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: gonna catch about two hundred balls before practice starts. He's 113 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: gonna catch two hundred balls after practice. And then when 114 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: you got the young wilde receivers coming in and they're 115 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: watching him. Just like Folk said, Now you got ten 116 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: or fifteen guys over there working out with him because 117 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: the success that he has on Sunday, you see it 118 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: because he like you know what, this man has been prolific, 119 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: this prolific for ten years because this is the way 120 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: that he works, and he goes in and he changed 121 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:39,239 Speaker 1: the whole culture. Just like Larry foot said, I don't. 122 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: I don't believe his work ethic and his want to 123 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: has ever been questioned. That that was never a question 124 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown. Is he gonna work hard? Is he 125 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a guy that I gotta push to go 126 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: get the working That has never been a question when 127 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: I when I heard that, the first word that came 128 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: to my mind was maturity. Was he knew he he 129 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: can work hard, plex but he knew working hard in 130 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh when you got there, he was that dude. He 131 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: was gonna get a minimum of ten balls throwing his 132 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: way per game. And so when you go to Tampa Bay, 133 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you're lucky if you get ten balls throwing your way 134 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: in a game. And so it was the maturity to say, 135 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna still work the way I've always worked. It's 136 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: a maturity to understand I'm not the guy. It's a 137 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: maturity too say I don't care if I get to 138 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: I care, but I can't make a big deal about 139 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 1: me getting the type of targets that I normally get. 140 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: And he continued to work day in and day out. 141 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: He wasn't a problem like the media tried to paint 142 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 1: him out to be. And he he has some missteps 143 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: and uh in Pittsburgh, but we're receivers plex we get 144 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: the ball five six times a game. It's sixty seventy 145 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: snaps in the game, and you're like that, this is 146 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: it that you got, and so you have to make 147 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,840 Speaker 1: the most of your opportunity. So he matured from the 148 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: perspective of I know, I'm not gonna get my targets. 149 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna make a big deal about it. His 150 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: hard work has never been questioned, you know. You know what, No, 151 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: I will say this. Also, they put him in an 152 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: environment that he was familiar with because in two thousand 153 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: seven thirteen, I was there, Byron Leftwich was the backup quarterback. 154 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: Uh uh, Bruce arians was there, and Larry Foot was 155 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: there and Antoine Randall ll So it was basically a 156 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: home away from home from him when he walked in 157 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: the building. And they just put him in a position 158 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: in the environment that that he was familiar with, and 159 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 1: it was easy for him to just stay in line. 160 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: One of one of the things that I always heard 161 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: about U t Js that you were an irritable dude 162 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: when you when we were playing, Like heard that you 163 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 1: were an a hole, Right, I knew Plexico Plexico was 164 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: an irritable dude. He was an a hole? Like what nice? 165 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: What a nice dude? Like you were kind of mean, 166 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 1: like almost like dang like Plexicos mean he's a mean dude? 167 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: Um is there is? I mean? Is it just a 168 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: generality that when you're a wide receiver, y'all just irritable? 169 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: Because it's almost like y'all just always want there's never 170 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: too many balls passed to you, or there's never the 171 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: right play always called? Like why is it that you 172 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: guys seemed to catch the same type of of kind 173 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 1: of reputation traits, especially the ones that are ultra competitive, 174 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: Like I didn't hear this about every receiver. I just 175 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: heard it about certain receivers and it happened to be. Well, 176 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: I know, I knew you, plex so I knew I 177 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: saw how you handle things in in real time. I 178 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: never had met you, t J, but it was funny 179 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: because before I had met you at Polly, all I 180 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: can think about was, Man, I wonder if I'm gonna 181 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: be all right with this dude, Like I don't even 182 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: know what like how this exchange is gonna go when 183 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 1: I meet him, because like I just had heard so 184 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 1: many things about how irritable you were. You know what 185 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: I mean, Like, is that just a receiver's thing? So 186 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: you were just basically thinking that his his on field 187 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: uh persona persona was him the actual person. Yes, that's 188 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: what most people do, not man, Listen. Everybody has a 189 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: different level of passion when it comes to competing. That's 190 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: what y'all call it. Like hate, you'll call the passion. 191 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 1: If you're not passionate about your position and your craft 192 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: and and and whatever you're trying to attain as a player, 193 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: then you shouldn't be out there. Like I hated to lose, man, 194 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: Like I hated to get covered when I was a 195 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: man and when I was a man and man, because 196 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: you know what, that man just just stopped me, and 197 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: and and and and that's the you know, I played 198 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: that way. I hated to lose and I hated to 199 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: be covered. And just like t J said, you know, 200 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: we're gonna get ten of them in attempts. We're gonna 201 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: walk away with five, you know, five six, eight balls maybe, 202 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: but everything on that offense has to go right just 203 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,599 Speaker 1: for us to get a completion, and and and and 204 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: when it doesn't happen, you know, look, we throw our 205 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 1: helmets and you know we get up said we stow 206 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 1: our fussing and cussing and talking, you know, whatever we 207 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: gotta do. But you know that's just the firing us 208 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: competing because we know how difficult it is for us 209 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: as receivers to go out and have success because listen, 210 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: you're gonna be wide open or whatever the tackle, mrs 211 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,079 Speaker 1: the block, you don't get your ball, So everything has 212 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: to go right on that particular play just for us 213 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: to have success. Yeah, for me, it was just this 214 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: is listening to what Larry Foot said about a b 215 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: Like when when I went played for the Raiders, me 216 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: and Chad we work like that every day in practice 217 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: like we we were. I was in my last year 218 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: doing scout team reps and so it was that's all 219 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: I knew was just work, work, work, work, work. I'm 220 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: ultra competitive. I don't want to lose it anything. I'll 221 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: play my son and stuff. I'm killing them. I'm not 222 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: letting my son beat me in anything. And he gets 223 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: mad and I'm like, if you want to win and 224 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: get better, like, I'm not taking it easy on you. 225 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: And every athlete, for the most part, you have that 226 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: mentality and if you don't, you're not gonna make it 227 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: because it's so many people that my first practice ever 228 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, my first practice ever, I got in a fight. 229 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: We get drafted. We have the Rickey minicamp. I got 230 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: in a fight. I wouldn't stop. They sent me to 231 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: the locker room. I calmed down. I'm like, oh my god, 232 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: they're about to cut me. Man. Dick lebou came in 233 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: there and dapped me up. And it's just one of 234 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,439 Speaker 1: those things. Man, this could be because we don't get 235 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: the ball a lot, and when you do get it, 236 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: or when you have a opportunity to get it, you 237 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 1: want to make the most of it. And that competitiveness. Man, 238 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: it's pretty much and I would say the majority of 239 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: the players in the league. And if it's not, you're 240 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: not gonna be there long. Well, there you go, coming in, 241 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: dep you up. And Dick little in his mind, he's thinking, 242 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 1: you know what, man, this is just practice. I know 243 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: that man's gonna give me all all he got on. 244 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: Suddenly I ain't gotta worry about him. That's what it 245 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: was all about, all right.

I was thinking that ball 343 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: off the team, Yester. They came down. Really, I was 344 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: I was playing golf four days a week. Really, I 345 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: just wanted to get away, just get away from football. 346 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: It took about three or four years to get away. 347 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: And then b A always wanted me to coach. He 348 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,360 Speaker 1: always wanted me to get in.

I went out there within 351 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: the first day. I was hooked. I was hooked. I 352 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: didn't really pay attention to what coaching was about until 353 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: I got out there and gotten that office. Always showing 354 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: myself as a player, just when you know how we 355 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: think it's playing, we're playings forever top into me. So 356 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: I never really told myself as a coach until I 357 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: went out there, and then he told me. He said, hey, man, 358 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: I ain't letting you leave, so we'll talk when we 359 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: need to talk. And we end up having a conversation 360 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: like in October. The season was already. I ain't sending 361 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: you home. I don't even know what I got paid. 362 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: I don't even know what it was. It didn't matter. Yeah, 363 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: it was just to be a part of what, you know, 364 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: what he was doing. I was a big fan of 365 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: how he saw football when I got there as a coach, 366 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: I mean, as a player, the way be a saw 367 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 1: football as a quarterback. I just show you can have 368 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: a lot of success with the freedoms that he gives 369 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: you as a quarterback. Man, lefty, Man, you know I was. 370 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: I was in those rooms in two thousands, seventeen arozon 371 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 1: the Man, So you know I know firsthand, and you 372 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: know I sat there and I watched it.

You know 379 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: you're going to you're going to the chip. But you know, 380 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: as a as a player and as a coach, you're like, 381 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: you know, man, we still got one more game to win, 382 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But they don't they don't 383 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: really under they don't understand like the preparation for those 384 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: too weeks or those two weeks and going into the game, 385 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: dot in every eye, crossing every team and really like 386 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: prepaying yourself for like every possible situation. Man, just talk 387 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: to us about the preparation that you know going into 388 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: that week. Well, the great thing was we had two 389 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: weeks and we was a team that we knew and 390 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: we played before, so I knew important. I knew what 391 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: was going to be important for us, having the ability 392 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 1: to be in two of them games as a player. 393 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: They had just went to the Super Bowl. You see 394 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: so many times that the new team to the Super 395 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Bowl really lose that game early in the first quarter, 396 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: early within the first fifth team plays. So I was 397 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: just on those guys all week with the understanding that 398 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be different. It's a different football game. You know. 399 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: Everybody says, man, it's the same old football game. That's 400 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: a lie. This is different than the football game. It 401 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: is different as everything is going to be and as 402 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: far as playing the game of football. So just trying 403 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: to get him prepared for that part of it so 404 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: he can just turn into a football game. So I 405 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: knew once my guys got out there on the field 406 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 1: and they started playing, it'll be football. But my thinking 407 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,120 Speaker 1: was the preparation. Just make sure we get them through 408 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: the first team five team plays to turn it into 409 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: a football game, because this is a different football game 410 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: unlike any other game and some of these guys that 411 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: have ever played in Let me get you a two 412 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: part question here. One, what was it like taking on 413 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: the responsibility of coaching Tom Brady? He he was he's 414 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,640 Speaker 1: older than you, he came in before you, but yet 415 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: you're directing him on things to do and too. How 416 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 1: did that play a part in how you manage You 417 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: mentioned all those names, all those receivers, how did you 418 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,200 Speaker 1: and even the running back situation you had? You had 419 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: a log jam at the running backs position as well 420 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: well everyone you had telling every how did you manage 421 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 1: that be left? How did you manage coaching the goat? 422 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: And how did you manage the distribution? Well, the part 423 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: is coaching Tom that that wasn't hard at all. I mean, 424 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: when you're getting Tom Brady, that's not hard. You know, 425 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 1: that's not really hard. From that standpoint, I was happy 426 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to work with him and and 427 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: to be able to bounce things off him, for him 428 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: to bounce things off me, because now I got a 429 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,159 Speaker 1: guy that has been in every situation possible in the 430 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: game of football. So now how can I learn him 431 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: as quick as possible so I can consistently put him 432 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: in position to make plays and to call plays for him, 433 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 1: so he's having consistent success. The tough part for us 434 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: earlier was that we had no preseason, We had no O. T. A. S. 435 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: So we had to figure everything out on Sunday, and 436 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: sometimes it didn't all go great, even though I never 437 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: think we struggled because we started the season off really 438 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: six and two. We just lost some football games, but 439 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: we didn't play well against some really good football teams. 440 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: And the point of getting these guys the ball. They 441 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,439 Speaker 1: don't know how I am, and I'm gonna put him 442 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: in position and get open. You just keep getting open, 443 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: don't worry about this the ball coming to get in 444 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: position to make the plays. And I try to thank 445 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: everything out in that way when I'm coming up with 446 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: these plays of how I'm gonna get these guys the ball, 447 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: so everything gets stored out. I'm not just there there 448 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: for a reason. Guys are in position for a reason. 449 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,479 Speaker 1: I try to learn the guy's skill that and then 450 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: let him be put him in position to be the 451 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: best of his skill set. You know what I will 452 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: say this, Uh, you know world on the street. So 453 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: I see I saw that Tom Brady was patient enough 454 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:23,120 Speaker 1: to double clutch that throw touchdown past Antonio Brown because 455 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: ran the wrong route. He was supposed to go in 456 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: and up, but he went out and in and you know, 457 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: a younger quarterback, you know, with the with the through 458 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 1: it to the space. But he was supposed to go 459 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: But Tom Brady recognized that he ran the wrong route 460 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: and double clustered it and still put it on the 461 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: score touchdown. There's no such thing as a wrong that matter. 462 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: It was one of those things where you know, I 463 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: always tell Tom, you know, with a D a D 464 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: unique because he can he just knows how to get open. Right, 465 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 1: He's gonna be open regardless of what he's doing. Always 466 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: tell Tom. And may not dig that, but he's gonna 467 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 1: be open. So don't that that get you off it. 468 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: You just understand he's gonna win. He's going to win. 469 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 1: And I've seen the defensive alignment come out, and I've 470 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: seen Tom looking at him, and I've seen him looking 471 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: at Tom. I knew something was going on. I didn't 472 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: know what was going on, but I'm glad I had 473 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: Tom and quarterback and him running the route because they 474 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: did a good job of just making the play. Let 475 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: me let me ask you this man do two part 476 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: questions as well. And this is just my opinion. I 477 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: believe you'll be a head coach in football season. Do 478 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: you feel like you are overlooked and in the hiring 479 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,479 Speaker 1: process and the interviewing process that they want to get 480 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: a credit to Tom Brady, they want to get a 481 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: credit to Bruce Arians But is it is this a 482 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: feeling of while they're not gonna give me my credit? 483 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: And do you feel like you were overlooked in that 484 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: process of young innovative guys. I mean, you played the game, 485 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: first round pick at a high level, and here you 486 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 1: are being overlooked and they're hiring guys that we've never 487 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: heard of. I mean, just call it, what a Nick Sirian. 488 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: We've never heard of this dude, and here he is 489 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: being a head coach and you're looking at it like 490 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: they're gonna get Tom Brady all the credit. How does 491 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 1: that feeling that you feel like you're overlooked? Well, I 492 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: try not to do that or to try to view 493 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: it that way, to be honest with you, Uh, I 494 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: really don't make teacher. I really don't make this about myself. 495 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: I played already, so it's really about the players. Anyway. 496 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: I just try to put them in position. Uh, that's 497 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: partly why I'm coaching. It's because of some of the 498 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: experiences I had really as a player. So I try 499 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: not to compare myself to any other coach because I 500 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 1: don't know them guys personally. I'd be wrong to sit 501 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: up here and say anything on the opposite of These 502 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: guys may be great coaches and me personally, I assume 503 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: everybody's great coaching that's coaching on this level. So it's 504 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: something that's something I can't worry about. Bill. I'm not 505 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: in it for that. I'm in it for different reasons 506 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: than that, obviously. I mean, everyone would love to be 507 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: a head coaching this because that's why I was going 508 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,959 Speaker 1: to ask that I was about to add, And if 509 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: they're listening to this interview with what you just said, 510 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,960 Speaker 1: they should be kicking themselves and that you know what, 511 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: what you just said, they should be kicking themselves. And 512 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: you know what, I was thinking the same exact thing. 513 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: I was thinking the same So so in other words, 514 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: you're being humble about the approach, be left and if 515 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: it comes, it comes. But for you, it's like I 516 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 1: played this game. I just want to put these dudes 517 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 1: in the right positions.

Man, I got 519 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Tom Brady Mike ever because and I ain't really trying 520 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: to run nowhere, right you think? Do you think y'all 521 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: can do it again? Oh yeah, I think this crew 522 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: can do anything. Obviously it's gonna be hard work, but 523 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: I think this true the way the day. It's a 524 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: coach team. This is the closest team I've never seen 525 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: of being a part of the way did they come 526 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: to work. This is the hardest working team I've ever seen. 527 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: I've never seen nothing like this. Day in and day out. 528 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: They come to work.

I mean, you played the game, first 700 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: round pick at a high level, and here you are 701 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: being overlooked and they're hiring guys that we've never heard of. 702 00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,080 Speaker 1: Let mean this call it the Nick Sirian. We've never 703 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 1: heard of this dude, and here he is being a 704 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: head coach and you're looking at it like they're gonna 705 00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: get Tom Brady all the credit. How does that feeling 706 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:10,640 Speaker 1: that you feel like you're overlooked. Well, I try not 707 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,759 Speaker 1: to do that or to try to view it that way, 708 00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,800 Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Uh, I really don't make teacher. 709 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 1: I really don't make this about myself. I played already, 710 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: so it's really about the players anyway. I just try 711 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: to put him in position. Uh. That's partly why I'm coaching. 712 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: It's because of some of the experiences I had, really 713 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,840 Speaker 1: as a player. So I try not to compare myself 714 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: to any other coach because I don't know them guys personally. 715 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 1: I'd be wrong to sit up here and say anything 716 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: on the opposite of These guys may be great coaches 717 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: and me personally, I assume everybody's great coaching, that's coaching 718 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:48,239 Speaker 1: on this level. So it's something that's something I can't 719 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,319 Speaker 1: worry about. Really, I'm not in it for that. I'm 720 00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: in it for different reasons than that. Now, I made 721 00:40:55,239 --> 00:41:01,800 Speaker 1: the point guys that race was not leverage, used offered, 722 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: and he never brought it up. It might be the 723 00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: first time where you're having a conversation with a black 724 00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 1: coach that is qualified to be a head coach and 725 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: maybe probably more qualified than some that have the role 726 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: right now. Is it always about race or is this 727 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:30,320 Speaker 1: just a sensible thought process that a guy that feels 728 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: as though he's done it, he's played and when he 729 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: gets his opportunity, he's going to get his opportunity. What 730 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,759 Speaker 1: what say y'all? In in two three minutes? I mean, 731 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,839 Speaker 1: I don't want to bring up race anymore. It's funny, man, 732 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 1: We do this show right, and I'll get a ton 733 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: of messages through social media. Ah, you guys always bring 734 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 1: up race. We really don't. But the fact that that 735 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: didn't come up. If you can coach, you can coach, 736 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what race you are. If you can 737 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: get grown men, which we are to believe in what 738 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: you're teaching them, and they go out there and say 739 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: we went over there during the weekend they head preplay 740 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,160 Speaker 1: and oh, this's the look we talked about and play 741 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: fast and it be right on the money what you 742 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 1: were told from a coach. That's all that matters, and 743 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,120 Speaker 1: race doesn't come to plan of that. And so for me, 744 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: he's shown he can coach in that comment, like I'm 745 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,120 Speaker 1: forever a fan of Byra Left, which is a coach 746 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,680 Speaker 1: now just because of all of that, the dude is 747 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: gonna be phenomenal as a head coach if he can 748 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 1: get to the right situation and a chance to succeed, 749 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 1: because a lot of these they're dumped the fires. You 750 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: get a head coaching job, you don't have a chance 751 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,239 Speaker 1: to succeed. If he can get to a place where 752 00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,960 Speaker 1: that has a genuine chance to succeed, all the sky's 753 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: a limit. Man. I'm just man, man, I'm just over 754 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: here putting together you know what be Left just gave us, 755 00:42:53,880 --> 00:43:00,040 Speaker 1: and the interview of the comments of Dan Campbell on 756 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 1: the head coach of the Detront Lines and trying to 757 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,800 Speaker 1: compare to two and just you know, just digesting like 758 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: the mindset of of of of be Left and knowing 759 00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,759 Speaker 1: that you know, he's going to be a head coach 760 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 1: one day and and he's not you know, comparing himself 761 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 1: to anybody else because he knows just if he goes 762 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: out there and continue what he's continued to do, and 763 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,640 Speaker 1: that's be great and be good, his his opportunity is 764 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 1: going to come. And in the just like TJ said, 765 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,560 Speaker 1: you know he's going to I think he's in a 766 00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,880 Speaker 1: good situation where he's at now. And just to you know, 767 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 1: put those to compare the two together, it's just you 768 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 1: know that they're just light years away from each other 769 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: and they approach you know, in some cases, I do 770 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: believe that the racial card is is relevant. In most 771 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,120 Speaker 1: cases I don't, And in most cases I feel as 772 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,520 Speaker 1: though it's a way to try to create leverage for 773 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: something that mob meant reality takes takes a look at 774 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 1: and wants to do. There can't be an excuse, there 775 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,719 Speaker 1: can't be a qualifier. If you're going to be great 776 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: at what it is that you're you're doing, you just 777 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,759 Speaker 1: have to you gotta do it, and you gotta find 778 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,359 Speaker 1: a way. One thing about it. We're in media right now. 779 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 1: We're on a show and it's three black dudes.
