Speaker 1: All right, the pot is under way here in Florhing Park.
Speaker 1: Bart Scott has made his way back into the studio.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked on this platform in a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks since then. Joe McKnight was gunned down in the
Speaker 1: road rage the incident, and then earlier this week, Conrad
Speaker 1: Ruling died following a brain aneurism. Uh, it's been a
Speaker 1: tough year for our family. Dennis Burg earlier, Dennis Byrd,
Speaker 1: Winston Hill, Curly Johnson, Carrie Blanchard Um and and the
Speaker 1: list goes on. And you can talk about Buddy Ryan,
Speaker 1: former Jets defensive assistant who was on we View Bank
Speaker 1: staff as the Green and White captures the Super Bowl
Speaker 1: Championship back in ninety following the sixty eight season January twelve,
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine, down at the Orange Bowl in Miami.
Speaker 1: But I just hope we've done for a while. I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope we just seems to be our year and
Speaker 1: that's what we're done for the next years. Man. It's
Speaker 1: it's been a tough, tough couple of weeks. You know,
Speaker 1: it brings your faith to face with your immortality, because
Speaker 1: at any point that could be any of us brain aneurhythm.
Speaker 1: Really no predictor of how that happened, why it happened
Speaker 1: Joe McKnight, tragic road rage incident, that could be any
Speaker 1: of us. You know, it makes you really appreciate the day.
Speaker 1: I appreciate the ones you love, UM, put them a
Speaker 1: little closer, tell him you love him, you know, because
Speaker 1: you just never know. Man. I know it sounds cliche,
Speaker 1: sounds like you know your parents, but it's just crazy
Speaker 1: out here right now. Now you say it's crazy out
Speaker 1: here right now with what happened to Joe, what was
Speaker 1: your immediate reaction? And also we gotta get into that
Speaker 1: you just got back from Louisiana. Now you stopped doing
Speaker 1: something out on the West coast with your financial literacy program,
Speaker 1: and we know that, but you were in Louisiana, so
Speaker 1: you talked to Joe his family and you were there
Speaker 1: as well everyone late Joe the Russ. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to make sure that he had the proper representation as
Speaker 1: a lot of his teammates or guys that he played
Speaker 1: with are still playing in the league. You know. I
Speaker 1: just want to make sure, you know, as one of
Speaker 1: the leaders when I was here, that I continue to
Speaker 1: be a leader all the way to the end to
Speaker 1: was final resting place for my teammate. Um, so I
Speaker 1: was able to you know me the Brickershaw Ferguson, Antonio Crimarti,
Speaker 1: Willie Cologne who already believed played with Joe but but
Speaker 1: showed his respects. And it was one of the Paul Bears,
Speaker 1: Lyndale White Um and Mark Sanchez. Mark Um caught up
Speaker 1: playing stayed after the Sunday night game with the Giant.
Speaker 1: You know that just showed you what type of leader.
Speaker 1: Not only was he his quarterback in college, he was
Speaker 1: his quarterback in the pros as well. And that's what
Speaker 1: it is. It's a brotherhood and you know so many
Speaker 1: of its only a select few of us that's fortunate
Speaker 1: enough to make it to this level. Um. And like
Speaker 1: I said about comrade, you know, the beautiful thing about
Speaker 1: being a teammate is that you have to leave yourself
Speaker 1: completely vulnerable. And not a lot of people get to
Speaker 1: see us totally vulnerable. You know, my mother has never
Speaker 1: seen maybe my mother saw me vulnerable, My sisters never
Speaker 1: saw me a vulnerable. A lot of my friends never
Speaker 1: saw me a hundred percent vulnerable. But my teammates have
Speaker 1: all saw me vulnerable. They saw me um uh emotionally vulnerable,
Speaker 1: physically vulnerable, pushing through trying to mentally, you know, tell
Speaker 1: the body to do with the body with the mind
Speaker 1: is telling you they can't do. And your teammates are
Speaker 1: the ones that that are they're that can help pull
Speaker 1: you through. And because it's such a small fraternity, it's
Speaker 1: only so many of us that can understand the pressure
Speaker 1: of the stress and all the things that come along
Speaker 1: with trying to achieve your dream. That's why we're so
Speaker 1: heavily connected. That's why the bond is so strong. Because
Speaker 1: what could be my new to other people, it's significant
Speaker 1: to us. And if you try and explain it to
Speaker 1: people that's not daring to be greater, trying to achieve
Speaker 1: their dream, that childhood dream, they won't understand it. So
Speaker 1: you don't try to explain it. But we can look
Speaker 1: at each other and see how each other feeling. We
Speaker 1: can kind of know what's going through each other's mind
Speaker 1: because we've all been there at some particular time, you know,
Speaker 1: in the best place. The greatest example of that his
Speaker 1: training camp, because you stripped down mentally and physically, and
Speaker 1: you know you have to lean on your guys when
Speaker 1: you don't have it for them to bring something enough
Speaker 1: for themselves and something for you too. With all that
Speaker 1: being said, that Joe had this childlike exuberance to him
Speaker 1: and within the building he seemed to always have a
Speaker 1: smile on his face. He was very well liked by
Speaker 1: his teammates. You just talked about how you were a
Speaker 1: Paul Bear at his funeral. The pressures these guys and
Speaker 1: you were part of the deal here, uh undergo each
Speaker 1: and every day sometimes can be enormous, and don't you
Speaker 1: think early in his career, Joe, on one hand, he
Speaker 1: was so comfortable with being out of the spotlight, but
Speaker 1: the spotlight he because of his pedigree. He was one
Speaker 1: of the um most highly recruited number one player in
Speaker 1: the high school in the country. And then he replaced
Speaker 1: the legend at US Reggie Bush, and you know, come
Speaker 1: here with the expectations replacing Leon Washington. Let Leon Washington
Speaker 1: walked because you know, they brought him in. And you know,
Speaker 1: early on, I think he struggled a little bit with
Speaker 1: the expectations, as all young players do, trying to make
Speaker 1: the adjudgment from the from the college ranks to the
Speaker 1: pros is a tough situation, you know, and learning how
Speaker 1: to take care of your body, learning how to be
Speaker 1: a professional. But he was learning at all while balloting
Speaker 1: depression from you know, uh Katrina. And you know he
Speaker 1: was a young child, a young kid, I believe in
Speaker 1: high school in Katrina happened in New Orleans and he
Speaker 1: was displaced, and I think he was on the roof
Speaker 1: for a long time, you know, and he was champion
Speaker 1: everything that had God got in front of him. He
Speaker 1: had he had beat even to still walking around with
Speaker 1: a smile on his face. And you know, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm gonna remember most. I'm gonna remember him coming over
Speaker 1: my house, you know, rolling my side by side and
Speaker 1: not telling me and me saying, man, asked my kids
Speaker 1: what happened? Oh uncle Joe rolled over the road the
Speaker 1: road to Canada over road in the side of the house,
Speaker 1: you know. And you know him going with many bikes
Speaker 1: and kind of hanging out, jumping in the pool with
Speaker 1: his son Jaden, you know, his girlfriend at the time, Michelle,
Speaker 1: coming over hanging my wife barbecuing. You know, he was
Speaker 1: always there to be a help. You know. He's one
Speaker 1: of those guys that if you're having something. He was
Speaker 1: there early to help you set up, you know, always
Speaker 1: consider that what you may need and and always trying
Speaker 1: to do his part. Now you have so many relationships
Speaker 1: within the National Football League, the media world, just your
Speaker 1: everyday world of people that you will come in contact
Speaker 1: with that you have tons of friends. How much have
Speaker 1: you were able how much were you able to keep
Speaker 1: up with you over the years, because obviously a different
Speaker 1: stops along the way in his football career. The latest
Speaker 1: stop was in the Canadian football and I knew he
Speaker 1: was going to kind of we had communicated via social media. Um,
Speaker 1: I was fully aware Joe was, you know, champion things,
Speaker 1: and I was continued to try and be that mentor.
Speaker 1: And you know that some things, when you have friends,
Speaker 1: you have to let them process it themselves, you know.
Speaker 1: I told him what he had to do, had to
Speaker 1: be more of a professional who had to understand that,
Speaker 1: you know, he could get another opportunity, but he understood
Speaker 1: at this time he was going to have to earn
Speaker 1: it and it was gonna be harder than it was
Speaker 1: the first time, because once you're out, it's harder to
Speaker 1: get back in. But he was making all the necessary steps.
Speaker 1: He was he had a tremendous year early on in
Speaker 1: Kansas City before he blew us Achilles out and that
Speaker 1: kind of set him back, you know, because he went
Speaker 1: there to replace Dexter mc cluster, and um, he was
Speaker 1: doing a great job. And he actually heard himself think
Speaker 1: he was on a long run, which is unfortunate. Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, always was in contact. And we have
Speaker 1: another buddy that we used to go on vacations, Like
Speaker 1: me and Joe weren't just like come over the house.
Speaker 1: We went on vacations by ourselves together, just me and him,
Speaker 1: you know, and the fellas and and and you know,
Speaker 1: not just me and him and only football players there.
Speaker 1: So it wasn't one of those relationships where we were
Speaker 1: just here friends. We're friends like for real, like no
Speaker 1: matter where he went, like, we're that friendship and that
Speaker 1: Bob would never have been broken. Just Nation wants to know,
Speaker 1: and you can tell us us right now. How is
Speaker 1: his family doing? How are his love I mean, he
Speaker 1: was a beacon of life for them, you know. He
Speaker 1: his sister played college ball, his brother played college ball. Um,
Speaker 1: his mother's deep in her faith. Um, the family was there.
Speaker 1: They rallied, They made sure that it was a celebration
Speaker 1: of his life, not a funeral. You know. They had
Speaker 1: the band, which is traditional UM in New Orleans. I
Speaker 1: forgot what they call it, half line, that's what they
Speaker 1: call it. And they have the toolers and people were
Speaker 1: playing when the Saints come marshal And and you know,
Speaker 1: I think that he had maybe twenty different clergymen that
Speaker 1: showed up, you know, because he was you know, he
Speaker 1: was the guy. He was the guy that opened the
Speaker 1: door for Tyrone Matthews, Leonard Fournette, UM, a lot of
Speaker 1: the young guys that went to l s U. Even
Speaker 1: a guy like Anthony Johnson, who's a defensive lignement here,
Speaker 1: who's the Jets signed off of the Patriots practice squad.
Speaker 1: He wants to l s U. Played in the defensive line.
Speaker 1: He said, this guy was the dude down everybody wanted
Speaker 1: to be like Joe. He was a guy that that
Speaker 1: told the recruiters that hey, it's talent down here, something
Speaker 1: brewing down here. And he opened the door for those guys.
Speaker 1: You know. Tyrone Matthews said the same thing when when
Speaker 1: I heard some of his remarks about Joe, that people
Speaker 1: wanted in Louis I don't wanted to be like him.
Speaker 1: You know, they weren't trying to be like anybody else.
Speaker 1: They were trying to be like you know, Joe Munited.
Speaker 1: And that's just a testament, you know, to him as
Speaker 1: a football player, but him as a person too. Does
Speaker 1: it get you mad? Uh? Not? That not just that
Speaker 1: we lost somebody, because we're gonna talk about Conrad here
Speaker 1: in a second, But the way it went down. We
Speaker 1: don't have all the deep ells. And you probably have
Speaker 1: a lot more than I do because you were just
Speaker 1: down there and you've spoken to some people. It's just like,
Speaker 1: no matter no matter what the circumstances is behind it,
Speaker 1: we have to ask ourselves, what's the value of a
Speaker 1: man's life? Is it worth? If it is a man's
Speaker 1: life worth your pride being hurt because of an argument
Speaker 1: or somebody saying something insulting to you or something derogatory,
Speaker 1: is that? Is that? Is that polishable by death? Right?
Speaker 1: Like I mean, we have more empathy with the rules
Speaker 1: of engagement in war than we do for each other.
Speaker 1: And we're supposed to be fellow Americans. We're supposed to
Speaker 1: be better than that. We're supposed to be bigger than that,
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, if that that
Speaker 1: man that that pulled the trigger had to could have
Speaker 1: sat there and hurt the cry and the yell of
Speaker 1: his son, It's eight year old son. I think he
Speaker 1: would have thought twice before he pulled that trigger for something.
Speaker 1: So my new, Um, you have to realize that when
Speaker 1: you decide to pull the trigger, you decided to take
Speaker 1: a man's life, that it has a ripple effect. Then
Speaker 1: it just not affected his life in your life, but
Speaker 1: affects the ones that he loves and effects the ones
Speaker 1: that love you with How do you defend that? How
Speaker 1: do you defend that? How do you justify that? I mean,
Speaker 1: what's the value of a man's life? Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: cliche quick trigger, but it just seems unbelievable to me
Speaker 1: that if this really stemmed from something on the road,
Speaker 1: Uh you first time each other, you cannot connect any
Speaker 1: dots and say this is an unresult. This is where
Speaker 1: you get an unresult out of this? And then I
Speaker 1: know most authorities, no doubt about it, Like in any
Speaker 1: walk of life. I believe that you know, the enforcement
Speaker 1: officials are going to try to help citizens, just like
Speaker 1: in any walk of life. Uh that I believe most
Speaker 1: people are good with that being said, it's tough. I
Speaker 1: know it was tough those first few days with people
Speaker 1: wondering this gut the y and also this guy was
Speaker 1: on the streets for a couple of days. I know
Speaker 1: the police chief down there got really upset and things
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, in the fact that this
Speaker 1: isn't his first incident, that he's supposed to had two
Speaker 1: other incidents, you know, and the fact that you know,
Speaker 1: we were so lenient with being able to give people
Speaker 1: licenses and allow them to get guns, not knowing, you know,
Speaker 1: truly what their mental capability is, and not knowing that
Speaker 1: when you get somebody a gun, you give them power
Speaker 1: to take a life. And you know, that's a powerful
Speaker 1: responsibility and not everybody deserves that. And that's why I'm
Speaker 1: not a fan of you know, carry carry states, because
Speaker 1: what happens is you do something impulsive and heat at
Speaker 1: a moment that you can't take back, and you act impulsively.
Speaker 1: Because if he didn't have a gun, he would have
Speaker 1: just probably or whatever the situation is, maybe insurance would
Speaker 1: have been would have been exchanged, maybe a fisticuff, or
Speaker 1: maybe somebody would have took somebody license plate down and
Speaker 1: called the police on right. That's very that's relatively minor.
Speaker 1: That's what that situation warranted, not somebody putting the gun
Speaker 1: out and shoot somebody over a material thing when I'm
Speaker 1: sure both of them had car instruments. Things could be
Speaker 1: fixed and replaced. If you take a man of life,
Speaker 1: you can't you can't give it back. Yeah, this is
Speaker 1: not a political podcast. It's just upsetting for anybody, whether
Speaker 1: you're a member of that or a or you're against
Speaker 1: guns or anything like that. Just upsetting the violent crime
Speaker 1: we have in an industrialized sized society like the United States,
Speaker 1: when you look at the other numbers throughout the world.
Speaker 1: And I'm not even trying to make it a racial
Speaker 1: with him, because you look at Will Smith in the
Speaker 1: same city losing his life because a guy got upset,
Speaker 1: got a heated argument with him. Whether it was a
Speaker 1: fender banner he pulled off or not. He had to
Speaker 1: do was right down his license plate and and and
Speaker 1: sure you would have got your you, you would have
Speaker 1: got your justice. But you know, when you decide to
Speaker 1: confront somebody and guns are pulled, you know, people lives
Speaker 1: were taken. And at the end of the day, and
Speaker 1: then it's then and no thought was Will Smith like
Speaker 1: worth taking no matter if he was wrong or not.
Speaker 1: You know, it's not worth that. No a material car
Speaker 1: or then on a car. Derogatory terms shouldn't be punishable
Speaker 1: by death. Yeah, listen, our prayers, our thoughts are well.
Speaker 1: Wishes are with the Joe McKnight's family. And and yeah,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned Conrad, So um, just guy has a
Speaker 1: late November out of nowhere from I haven't been following
Speaker 1: too much. I know he played with the Ravens last year,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but late November brain aneurism, and I guess
Speaker 1: he struggled with that for weeks and he loses his
Speaker 1: life nine years old? What do you what can you
Speaker 1: tell us about Conrad sharing a locker room once? I
Speaker 1: was always messed with him. I don't know really what
Speaker 1: his nationality, looked like a surfer but but yeah, but
Speaker 1: because his hair was like that, he had that that
Speaker 1: that blond that Rick Flair blind in hair. So I
Speaker 1: always made fun of him, you know, checking him and
Speaker 1: stuff in practice, talking trash. He wasn't watching a talker,
Speaker 1: but it was fun. You know, he was a competitor,
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, what makes you know? Being
Speaker 1: teammates so special is when you're physically vulnerable and emotionally vulnerable,
Speaker 1: you find out what people are made of it. He
Speaker 1: was very prideful, you know. He was always trying to
Speaker 1: make a play and you know, eventually started giving it back.
Speaker 1: And it was fun, fun to be around because of
Speaker 1: course we always want to get to each other in practice,
Speaker 1: whether it was blocking or coverage, you know, and unfortunate man,
Speaker 1: it's just it's just tough because his family, he overcame
Speaker 1: so much, you know, great education at Stanford, come here
Speaker 1: trying to you know, solidify his place in the NFL,
Speaker 1: find a place to you know, call home, and battling.
Speaker 1: And this is something that you can't see. This is
Speaker 1: almost like somebody you know dying from a blood clocks.
Speaker 1: It could happen to any of us, you know. He
Speaker 1: just never would expect that. This guy's, like you said,
Speaker 1: six five to fifty. Guy looked like a model coming
Speaker 1: out of the store. Actual, I always tell my do
Speaker 1: my taxes because he's from Stafford. You know something, he's
Speaker 1: too smart to play. What do you think about you did?
Speaker 1: He just get he gets laster. People always take me
Speaker 1: to Grain, so I they understand and you know, if
Speaker 1: if I'm making funny, if I'm message that's because I
Speaker 1: like you. I don't say nothing to you, don't acknowledge you.
Speaker 1: Then then then you should be concerned. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't mess with you. You mentioned Mark Sanchez before. He's
Speaker 1: just spent some time with Mark. How is Mark doing?
Speaker 1: He went to Mission V a whole high school with
Speaker 1: Conrad Bruin. He played here with They played basketball to
Speaker 1: get they were on the same, you know, youth basketball team.
Speaker 1: He went and saw him before he passed childhood friends.
Speaker 1: And then I like you mentioned Joe McKnight was a
Speaker 1: teammate of his, and and so how how it is
Speaker 1: marked on him. He's taking it tough, you know. Um,
Speaker 1: But he's recently just had his first child. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited about that. And I told him welcome to fatherhood.
Speaker 1: That's a special thing, um, And I know he's excited
Speaker 1: about that. So that's a good thing. But it's tough
Speaker 1: for him on a peron from the level because you know,
Speaker 1: he had a far more intimate relationship with Conrad than
Speaker 1: than than I had. UM, And it's just tough because
Speaker 1: he's losing people that It always makes you face to
Speaker 1: face with your your own immortality or your own mortality,
Speaker 1: you know, knowing that you know, people think that they
Speaker 1: see us on TV they were instructible, but you know,
Speaker 1: the same things that we that happens to the general
Speaker 1: public happens to us as well. Do you feel fortunate, though,
Speaker 1: that you've established such a brotherhood with not just this
Speaker 1: franchise here and and people who were your teammates and
Speaker 1: things like that, but down in Baltimore, do you feel
Speaker 1: fortunate that you have such tight bonds with people? Like
Speaker 1: people are asking me the other day, They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize part New Conrad, And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were teammates, but people don't realize the extent because
Speaker 1: you're you really like to reach out to people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I always always make it my business. I
Speaker 1: mean I just did a financial literacy program at San
Speaker 1: Francisco for those guys. Got my phone numbers. They all
Speaker 1: me and they're looking for advice because I represent what
Speaker 1: they want to become, what they feel like they can accomplish.
Speaker 1: You know, they were, you know, younger guys early in
Speaker 1: their career trying to find their way. I walk that
Speaker 1: path and maybe they can lean on me and figure
Speaker 1: some things out, you know, and I look at it
Speaker 1: as any time my my my path crosses with somebody
Speaker 1: else's because God ordained it to happen. So I never
Speaker 1: disrespect the process. And I'm always willing to be a
Speaker 1: vessel to help. You know, if you're willing to help yourself,
Speaker 1: I'm willing to help. And you know, that's just how
Speaker 1: I was raised, That's how I've always been and by
Speaker 1: that way to buy product of that as you get
Speaker 1: some strong bonds and some strong relationships, you know, Jamale McClain,
Speaker 1: uh Adelias Thomas, you know ed Reid um Edgar Jones,
Speaker 1: you know Ray Rice, um T Sizzle. Of course, you
Speaker 1: know these guys like that, I can call it in
Speaker 1: the pinch, you know, it's it's not you know, it
Speaker 1: just one of those things. You can go David Harris, Calvin,
Speaker 1: the Brinkershaw, Ferguson, you can go Brandon more. These are
Speaker 1: guys that you know, we still spend time with each other.
Speaker 1: You know, a bunch of those guys just came at heartwell,
Speaker 1: just came from Atlanta to my wife's birthday party. You know,
Speaker 1: Brandon Moore was there as well. So you know, you
Speaker 1: get support and you you get back what you what
Speaker 1: you put out. And I think when people are around
Speaker 1: me and they get past the barbado or the loud words,
Speaker 1: they understand that's a genuine person behind there. And UM,
Speaker 1: I'll do anything for a teammate and it's not you know,
Speaker 1: if Conrad you know the same thing I just did
Speaker 1: for Joe, and try to support and help as much
Speaker 1: as I can if conrade family needs that right there
Speaker 1: for him to Yeah. So again, prayers go out to
Speaker 1: Joe's family and Conrad's family. Is they try to move on,
Speaker 1: I don't think you're ever the same. We've We've lost
Speaker 1: loved ones. Both of us have fed things that happened.
Speaker 1: People close to us have gone, and I don't think
Speaker 1: when you lose somebody, yep, And all we can do
Speaker 1: is try to remember and an honor honor their memory
Speaker 1: with our life and the way we do. We choose
Speaker 1: to live our life. That's well said. Um it feels
Speaker 1: rather trivial, But I want to talk about the current
Speaker 1: team real quick. Do you like the way uh the
Speaker 1: Jets responded in San Francisco. I know it's a one
Speaker 1: on eleven team. I know people at home are saying,
Speaker 1: I mean you know, we want to draft pick all
Speaker 1: this other stuff part. But they could have packed it
Speaker 1: in a fourteen nothing because those first five minutes look
Speaker 1: like here we go. It looked like an extension of
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Gamp. They didn't have to respond. They could
Speaker 1: have blamed it on travel um, short week, you know,
Speaker 1: tired legs from Monday night. Whatever they wanted to say,
Speaker 1: you know, but they decided to say, you know what,
Speaker 1: we're gonna we can do something about it. Let's do it,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna start one play at a time. And
Speaker 1: I've been part of a six and ten, you know,
Speaker 1: Ravens team. The next year we were we were thirteen
Speaker 1: and three. Because you know, we learned something about some
Speaker 1: people that we didn't expect. You don't really know how
Speaker 1: players gonna respond or react until you put him in
Speaker 1: the pressure and you put them out there and you say, hey,
Speaker 1: you know, some guys practiced like crap, like man, this
Speaker 1: guy can't play. You put him on there. The lights
Speaker 1: turn on and they get bigger, they play bigger. Some
Speaker 1: guys get in front of the lights and they play smaller,
Speaker 1: you know, and that this is how you find out
Speaker 1: who's gonna dare to be great. Who can I count
Speaker 1: on because anybody can be a front runner and play
Speaker 1: and hustle when when it's something on the line, But
Speaker 1: when you really have nothing to play for, but playing
Speaker 1: for pride and respect for the name on the back
Speaker 1: of the jersey and the name in the front of
Speaker 1: the jersey, you find out a lot about people. What
Speaker 1: can you say about two nine? He's a fan favorite.
Speaker 1: He was one of your teammates. Guy has been here.
Speaker 1: I think this is a sixth season already, which is amazing.
Speaker 1: He'll be almost a seven because I've been retiring four
Speaker 1: years and he was here two years. Yeah, there's probably
Speaker 1: a six going on the seventh. You know, he's starting
Speaker 1: to look like the film that I saw in Louisville.
Speaker 1: You know Louisville, he played a lot faster than he
Speaker 1: played his first couple of years, I think because he
Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out. But I think now
Speaker 1: he's confident in what he's doing. Confident is a billy
Speaker 1: of these and you see him playing so much faster
Speaker 1: and making plays. He's always been tremendous and and and
Speaker 1: being a past protectors, which is as a tough job
Speaker 1: that nobody wants to do and nobody does in college anymore,
Speaker 1: which is skill said that a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: sign up for, but he does it. He's a he's
Speaker 1: not just a willing. He's a great you know, um
Speaker 1: um blitch pickup guy, you know, Chipper, and he makes
Speaker 1: he makes big plays. He makes big plays. And we've
Speaker 1: had a couple of guys like that. They come in
Speaker 1: and spots and make big players, whether it's Leon Washington
Speaker 1: rathers Brad you know, Brad Smith, Rother was Joe McKnight.
Speaker 1: We had guys that come in like that. And he's
Speaker 1: moving into that round where he comes in and he
Speaker 1: leaves an imprint in the game no matter how many
Speaker 1: plays he gets underrated explosion guy everage is more than
Speaker 1: five yards per carry. And also he's got forty two receptions,
Speaker 1: so that means he's the third leading receiver on this team,
Speaker 1: fifth amongst running backs in the a f C in
Speaker 1: terms of receptions. So it just seems to me anytime
Speaker 1: you get Balpa football, good things are gonna happen. Hocky.
Speaker 1: He's not a self promotor, you know. Then that's why
Speaker 1: because he doesn't bang his on That's what I wanted
Speaker 1: to ask you is that you love him as a teammate.
Speaker 1: He is just like, hey, whenever they call my number,
Speaker 1: I just want to be ready for my guys. He's
Speaker 1: quiet man. He steps up, he walks quiet, but he
Speaker 1: cares a big stay. What do you think about Petty?
Speaker 1: For Petty makes his second career start against San Francisco.
Speaker 1: He has his ups and downs. Jets Uh couldn't manufacture
Speaker 1: too much offense early, but when the game's on the line,
Speaker 1: he makes a few plays and they went to boating
Speaker 1: teachable moments and that's all I can say. You look
Speaker 1: at the family who at teachable moments. He wasn't reluctant
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger. That was a good thing. Could
Speaker 1: be a bad thing, but in the sense it was
Speaker 1: a good thing because he made plays. I love his
Speaker 1: toughness on the two point conversion play, running through a tackle,
Speaker 1: not being denied, run through a pretty good defender, and
Speaker 1: also you know, doing whatever he had to do to
Speaker 1: get in zone to get the points. Um, are you
Speaker 1: encouraged by what you're seeing some of these young guys
Speaker 1: Austin Severian Jenkins. We did a film breakdown on him
Speaker 1: today and that will be up on New York just
Speaker 1: dot Com throughout the week, so you can check that
Speaker 1: out here. Here's here's a big tight on Robby Anderson
Speaker 1: continues to thrive. He's probably Petty's number one target right now.
Speaker 1: Yards reception against San Francisco. Guy like Brandon Shell might
Speaker 1: stop in and play right tackle Brno Jackoman. He's on
Speaker 1: I R. Brent quality. One down. You might see a
Speaker 1: guy who's your fifth round pick, Brandon Shell start this
Speaker 1: week on the other side of the ball. Um Todd
Speaker 1: bol said this week that he thought Darrenly was a
Speaker 1: little too hype early in the game. He took took
Speaker 1: him out of the game and put him back in
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, listen, you're gonna learn from it.
Speaker 1: Jordan Jenkins, a ricky outside linebacker from UH Georgia, came
Speaker 1: up with this first career half sack. He made some
Speaker 1: plays out there. Um, you're seeing him set the edge more.
Speaker 1: He's having some teachable moments out there. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: it's all perfect, but we all do. Is not about that. See,
Speaker 1: a veteran is a veteran nine because he hasn't made
Speaker 1: the mistakes. He's a veteran because he's made all the
Speaker 1: mistakes and he's learned from him, and you can get
Speaker 1: those mistakes and practice, you can get him in the game.
Speaker 1: But as long as you learn from it and promise
Speaker 1: that yourself that you're not gonna make the same mistakes,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have growth. And I'm really excited to see
Speaker 1: um Justin Burrs again this week because he played well
Speaker 1: against the forty nine or fourth round pick out. I
Speaker 1: see state was used primarily on special teams earlier this year.
Speaker 1: Big physical, stout guy. That's not what you know. That's
Speaker 1: not why you usually see how the cornerbacks first coming out.
Speaker 1: But he's got a nice billing on him. I like
Speaker 1: the way place you can tell you what Singletary told
Speaker 1: me a long time ago. Greatness comes in every shape
Speaker 1: and size for every hall of fame, and is tall
Speaker 1: and physical specimen, so you're equally small one. I really
Speaker 1: want to talk about Sam Mills, Singletary, You want to
Speaker 1: talk about gods like that, Barry Sanders, guys that wasn't prototypical.
Speaker 1: I can show you a big Jim Brown, O j Simpsons.
Speaker 1: Greatness comes in every shape and size. And finally, last time,
Speaker 1: Matt Moore made a start at My Life Stadium against
Speaker 1: the Jets was two thousand and eleven. You were on
Speaker 1: that team, six win. You shut him down. Uh. Darrell
Speaker 1: Reeves had two interceptions, including a hundred yard returned for
Speaker 1: a touchdown, and on that play, Old number fifty seven
Speaker 1: was actually rushing the passer passes slash tighten, slash whatever.
Speaker 1: And then after Darrell made the interception, he was in
Speaker 1: coverage on Brandon Marshall there ironically, UH number five seven
Speaker 1: went looking for whom Richie incognito arch nemesis, trying to
Speaker 1: find him wherever he is. The Rams are trying to
Speaker 1: find him, Buffalo trying to find him. Yeah, somebody's got
Speaker 1: guys and just rubbed their own way. I respect him
Speaker 1: as a football player, didn't respect some of the things
Speaker 1: that he did. Since now his second chance, I've seeing
Speaker 1: that he's matured a lot, So maybe I give him
Speaker 1: a second chance. I won't swing on one, but he's here.
Speaker 1: Were there any other guys other than Richie that you
Speaker 1: can considered your archonomsis? Because high Ward everybody knew him,
Speaker 1: man high Ward. That was really the two, right, Those
Speaker 1: are the two I had pointing peace with playing people.
Speaker 1: But those two were definitely going on. But that's part Scott.
Speaker 1: We're out
