Speaker 2: How you feeling about everything? Obviously? You know there was

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: a lot of turmoil last year. Y'all ended the year

44
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: with some momentum. It looks like y'all starting it with

45
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: some momentum. Defensively, you know, pulsing the debo, you getting

46

Speaker 3: Right, the fast guy, the fast guy.

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: Oh man, that boy he had some heat when I

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: was in Tampa because we were watching tape on him

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: and that's that was all he did. And it was like, hey,

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 2: if he in the game, get to the goal line

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 2: because that's where you're going for sure. But how are

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: you feeling about everything? Man? I felt great, man, obviously. Man.

55
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: The last couple of years, man, we we kind of

56
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: struggled to get off to those you know, good starts

57
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 3: to the seasons. And you know, uh, you know in

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: the last two seasons, man, like like early in the season,

59
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: you know, it kind of bites you in the ass

60
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: later in the season, you.

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying.

62
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: So it's like we missing the playoffs, by one or

63
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 3: two games, and we look back on a lot of

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: those important you know, conference games, divisional games earlier in

65
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 3: the year. Man, and if anything's different, like like like

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: that's different, you know what I mean, Like like we're

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: off to a much better start. And man, like since

68
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: the spring, bro, like we've had a lot more buying,

69
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: you know what I mean? And you know what that

70
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 3: feels like when you know eighty ninety five percent of

71
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: the team is bought in, like you know, outside of

72
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: you know, guy individual ability, that's almost like a super strength,

73
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: you know, as for a team. You know what I'm saying,

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: Like when you got ninety percent of the dudes, that.

75
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: That's just believing in it, you know what I'm saying.

76
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 3: And like as you know, man, that that that gives

77
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: you like good momentum, gives you like good juice, you

78
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean in the locker room.

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: And so yeah, man, just just off to a good start. Man,

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: to walk me through that interception? What were y'all in

81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 2: when you got that? Cause it just always looked like

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 2: you come out of nowhere and book them. And I

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 2: know what it always looked like, Hey, he just popped

84
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: up out of nowhere. Popped up out the ground.

85
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, in that particular situation, you know,

86
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 3: it was actually uh you know, in like a quarter

87
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: quarter a half, you know kind of you know, uh,

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,119
Speaker 3: you know defense. I think they had like trip slot

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: you know to the field. I think CD was at one,

90
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: and as you know, man, anytime they put those guys

91
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: at one that's supposed to be at two or three,

92
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: he's usually like coming in you know what I'm saying,

93
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: So right, you know, I think as a backside safety,

94
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: just kind of understanding, you know, like what defense we

95
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: was in and what route combination was going to come

96
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 3: off come off of that. It just kind of helps

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: you anticipate, you know, the throwing windows and where to

98
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 3: kind of get to. And we was in a perfect

99
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: play call, you know what I mean for me to

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: just kind of sit in my quarter and really just

101
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: read the quarterback and be able to help those guys

102
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,559
Speaker 3: on those over routes and dig routes that was coming

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 3: because like I said, they were in two man on

104
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 3: that particular play, So you know, the other side of

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: the field is always like the hardest routes for those

106
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: guys to cover.

107
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: Right right right, And I mean people don't give you

108
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: enough credit. I obviously do because I didn't play the

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: game at a high level and you've played the game

110
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: at an incredibly high level. And I see you take

111
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, You can tell what you're reading,

112
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: what you're seeing, what you're recognizing, why you in the

113
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: window you are. But talk about the mental side of

114
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: this game and how that's giving you an edge throughout

115
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 2: your career to just make these plays, because, like I said,

116
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: that was your thirty fourth interception. Yeah, I mean for me, Man,

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: I always think about the guys.

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: That were like teachers to me, you know that they

119
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: were kind of instrumental, you know in me, uh, you know,

120
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: just just developing, you know, mentally, you know what I mean,

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: because for a while, man like you realize so much

122
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: on athleticism until you get into one on one matchup

123
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: with a guy where athleticism doesn't matter, you know what

124
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And so for me, Man, when I came

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 3: into the league, you know, obviously it was a great

126
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: situation for me, but I was behind a guy named

127
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: Rashid Johnson who had played for Nick Saban. You know,

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 3: he was like a walker on you know, and then

129
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: he became like this all American, like he had a

130
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: cool story. But you know when I jumped off the

131
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: bus man my rookie year, uh, and he had me.

132
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 2: Play free safety.

133
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: I realized early on that the NFL didn't really have

134
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: a lot to do with like athleticism, and you know

135
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, like like that wasn't always the reason

136
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: guys were making plays and like being in the right

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: spot at the right time. And you know, I think

138
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: just being able to sit behind a shot man and

139
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: and see how seriously he took it from a from

140
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: a mental standpoint, I had a lot of injuries early

141
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: on in my career, you know what I'm saying, Like

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 3: I to my ACL twice within like the first two

143
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 3: three years of my career, and so I wasn't always

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 3: in the position to feel athletically inclined, you know what

145
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So yeah, you know I think mentally man

146
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: like early on, I had to take it to the

147
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: next level because I couldn't always rely on you know,

148
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: just that letters to them.

149
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: But take me back to your time at LSU, because

150
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: you had some very high moments at the end, you know,

151
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: you were up for the heisman. I still think you

152
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: should have won it, and you had some low moments

153
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: to talk to me about how you you work through

154
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: that and how it helped you develop into who you

155
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 2: are today, because it just seems like winning follows you

156
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: wherever you go. Yeah, Man, I think that that.

Speaker 3: so many kids come into the league, right and they

170
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,040

Speaker 2: you know when I went.

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 3: Through those moments, man, uh you know, that was another

214
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: one of those moments that allows you to grow, you know, uh,

215
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 3: you know, way way beyond the football field. But I

216
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 3: always think about the people that that was around me

217
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: during that time, man, and it was always like encouraging, uplifting,

218
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, uh, they knew my

219
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 3: best days weren't behind me, like you know what I'm saying.

220
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: And so man, that was so encouraging, especially when I

221
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 3: was going through that, that those those hard tough injuries.

222
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you talk about Coach Rapone and Rock Kevin

223
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: Ross like I got. I got a chance to have

224
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: a cup of coffee with them boys out in Tampa,

225
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: because you know, they moved the whole crew from a

226
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: Z to Tampa with Bruce and now time to run

227
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 2: the show. So you know, we shared war stories about

228
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 2: our battles. But it was so cool to just see

229
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: how Coach Rapone, Man, he got those boys down in

230
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 2: those safety He showed such a like a godfather like

231
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 2: like care for these guys. And if you talk to

232
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: those guys in Tampa, boy, they swear by Rappone. If

233
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: you talk to Antoine Winfield or you talk to Jordan Whitehead, boy,

234
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: they you can't say a bad word about Rapona. You

235
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: shouldn't be able to. So that's really cool to hear

236
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 2: you say that. Yeah, man, Yeah, he's a good dude.

237
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,199

Speaker 2: get out. Boy, I love him too. Bows Bows is

239
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: really a mad scientist like he a mad scientist.

240
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 3: I think I think every coaching staff to have at

241
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,599
Speaker 3: least one Nick Ropo and one Kevin Ross, you know

242
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: what I mean?

243
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 2: I agree, I fully agree, boll. I see, look, y'all

244
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 2: had incredibly talented defenses. And in Arizona you got there.

245
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: I mean when you got there, it was up and down.

246
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: It was just like I was in Seattle, Like they

247
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: weren't winning a lot of football games. They weren't winning.

248
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: Then you got there, y'all going to the playoffs consistently.

249
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: Y'all made the run to that NFC championship game. How

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: was your time there? Playing with Pat P? And you

251
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: know what I mean, y'all two are the best to

252
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: ever come out of las year and two of the

253
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 2: best players to ever play in the National Football League?

254
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: How was that just being in the same secondary and

255
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: getting to learn from one another, getting to share the field?

256
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 3: Man, it was a blessing man, because really, you know,

257
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 3: outside of Pat P, you know, like we were just

258
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: talking about Rasha earlier. You know, we had gerroid powers,

259
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 3: you know, so that was like an all SEC you know,

260
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: defensive backfield. So we always that always kind of played

261
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: with our ego, you know, what I mean. You know,

262
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: Tony Jefferson, Like you know what I'm saying, Like we

263
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: had some great players, you know, Kaliz Amble, John Abraham,

264
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 3: like you know what I I mean, CROMARTI played with

270
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 3: to put together eight, nine, ten year career. You know,

271
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 3: I remember playing with Taekwon Branch, who you know wasn't

272
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: a household name. But you know, here's a guy that

273
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 3: that was inspirational to me because I'm looking at him saying, man,

Speaker 3: being a superstar, that that's not always attainable, you know

278
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,240

Speaker 3: of you know, guys that weren't superstars, but man, they

280
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,920

373
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 2: that building? Like you just said, everybody's buying in and

374
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: it does matter for the culture. It matters in those

375
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: hard games when you get in the chips are against

376
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: the wall and everything going wrong, and boys ain't turning

377
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: on each other, boys patting each other on the back,

378
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: and like, hey, come on now, let's dig dig ourselves

379
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: out the hole together. Do you feel that that special

380
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: energy from this team? Man? For sure?

381
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: And man I felt that, you know, really kind of

382
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: started in the spring and then training camp.

383
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: We ended up going to California for like a little

384
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: bit over.

385
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: A month, and you know, I think, man, just just

386
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: that really kind of forced everybody to buyd like coaches

387
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 3: and players, like players.

388
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: Amongst players, you know what I mean.

389
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: And like, man, we had a good time, like you

390
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 3: know what I mean, and like weized and we realized,

391
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: like we didn't see our kids for a month, but

392
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 3: man like we was legit having a good time, you

393
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: know what I mean, And we were working very very hard,

394
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: and so like I just feel like once we got

395
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: back to New Orleans, man like, it was just it

396
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: just kept rolling, you know what I mean.

397
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: Like the offenses kept kept getting better and it's a

398
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.

399
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: Man, when you know, uh, your team was excited to

400
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 3: come to work every day, you know what I mean?

401
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: Like like I don't think every NFL team has that

402
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: or uh you know, like maybe some fans don't understand

403
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: what I'm talking about, but it's like, yeah, like that matters.

404
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. And so man, you can

405
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: just see the energy. The whole energy is different, man.

406
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: And like the last couple of years, man, like like

407
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 3: we've played in a lot of close ball games, like

408
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: we were a bad team because we didn't we didn't

409
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: know how to win, you know what I mean.

410
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: We couldn't finish games.

411
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 3: Like we weren't a bad team because we didn't have

412
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: the players or the coaches, you know what I'm saying.

413
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: Like so you know, I just feel like, man, we

414
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 3: took a lot of pride, you know what I'm saying.

415
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: And this off season, you know, we had a lot

416
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 3: of dudes show up, you know, for voluntary things, you

417
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like, and that's a big deal

418
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four because guys could you know, like

419
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: like I mean, this whole world is like offering you

420
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 3: free distractions.

421
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

422
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: It's like, you know, for guys to be able to

423
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 3: show up in twenty twenty four, like like that's that's

424
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 3: kind of a big deal.

425
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, to be had. They probably

426
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 2: could be doing anything they want to do in the

427
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: world right now. Man.

428
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: So, man, you could just see a lot of guys

429
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: man like like like like like.

430
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: They're committed, like they've recommitted.

431
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 3: That's fun to see, man, especially as like a team captain,

432
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because not all un necessarily

433
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 3: have to give any rawro speeches, you know what I mean,

434
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: like and because those don't always work.

435
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: But it's been fun, man, coming to work every day. Yeah,

436
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: you can't light no fire up on no pros. No

437
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 2: either they got it and you can you can, you know,

438
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: steer them in the right direction, or you ain't got

439
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: it in you ain't a chance. But it's it's been

440
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 2: really cool to watch, y'all. I can't say, y'all couldn't

441
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: they expected that. But you rarely get blowouts in the NFL,

442
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: especially going against really good teams, really talented teams. You

443
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: rarely go in. You know, you might play a really

444
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 2: bad team and y'all feel like y'all in rhythm and

445
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 2: you're just like, hey, this one might get out of

446
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: hand if we can do this, this and that. But

447
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: tell me about this Dallas game, because it looked like

448
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 2: y'all were in control from start to finish. And to

449
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: your point about the energy, it just looked like boys

450
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 2: was out there having a good time. It wasn't even

451
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: like they were trying to show Bote anything. They weren't

452
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: doing nothing crazy Derek Carr getting in there and doing

453
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 2: the Michael Jackson I said, Okay, I didn't seen it all. Yeah, man, like,

454
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: like those games are fun. You know.

455
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: Obviously we started the season off with a divisional game,

456
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: and I don't care what anybody says. You know, the

457
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 3: Panthers like like like they always played us tough, you know,

458
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: and so they got good players too, and they get

459
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 3: paid too.

460
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: And I think the Dallas.

461
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: Game, that's one of those team you know, morale boosters,

462
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: right like, because they are, you know, a really really

463
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: really good football team. You know, they win a lot

464
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: of games at home. You know, every year it seems

465
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: as if they're punching their ticket you know, to the playoffs,

466
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 3: right like, and like we knew it was gonna be

467
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: a big challenge.

468
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 2: You know, two of the highest paid players you know, offense.

469
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: Side of the ball, and you know, I think as

470
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 3: a defense man, like like we recognize that we're a

471
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: top five, top ten defense, but we feel in our

472
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: hearts that, like, man, we could be number one, So

473
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: how can we get there? That's been our like message,

474
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: you know really since the spring. Man, it's like, how

475
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 3: can we absolutely win every play?

476
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

477
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: Like and it's impossible, but I think man just kind

478
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 3: of setting that challenge for us each and every week. Man,

479
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 3: I think defensively, man Like, it's just really allowing us

480
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: to just play fast, man, you know what I mean.

481
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: And I think Dennis Allen does a great job, man Like,

482
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 3: he's such a great defensive mind. Like people really don't

483
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: give him up credit, you know for his scheme and

484
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 3: just the different things that he does within you know,

485
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 3: his quarter schemes and covered two schemes that you know

486
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: a lot of other teams probably don't don't do it

487
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 3: the same, and so we feel like we got an advantage,

488
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, as a defense. And you know,

489
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: I think any time your office is doing well, man,

490
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 3: that only that only adds to you know the feeling

491
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 3: of how we already.

492
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 2: Feel right right, I mean, it looked like that. It

493
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: looks like y'all energy is right where it needs to

494
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: be y'all rolling. Obviously, this this division is getting tougher

495
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 2: by to day. You got you got Kirk Cousins in Atlanta.

496
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: Now you know they found the way to win. Last

497
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: night you got Tampa and Baker and they doing their thing.

498
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I feel really good about what

499
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: y'all doing. How much longer you trying to play? Man?

500
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: To be honest, man, I always wanted to play twelve

501
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: to fifteen years. And I think for me, man, like,

502
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 3: I think every year I had I have this, it's

503
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,679
Speaker 3: to coach, you know, because I got I got thirty

504
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: sons right like eleven ten.

505
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 2: You know, then my youngest thing, he's like four months.

506
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: But you know, like like I just have this. It's

507
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: the coach, you know what I mean?

508
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: But man, like every season, man, I find myself challenging

509
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: myself and like, like, you know, actually getting close to

510
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: those challenges and those goals that I set for myself.

511
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 3: And I think the ability to stay productive, you know

512
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: what I mean, like mentally processing Like can I process

513
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: it mentally at the speed that I know is acceptable

514
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 3: for me? And so I think, man, as long as

515
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 3: I can kind of do those two things, man like

516
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: you know, maybe I'll play till year fifteen.

517
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 2: You know, God says it's saying, you know, obviously you

518
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 2: have to stay healthy.

519
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 3: But it gets harder and harder every year, bro, because

520
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I want to coach so bad, bro,

521
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 3: And then you get on TV and it's like, Bro,

522
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: you see so much bad football bad I'll be like, like,

523
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 3: can I help?

524
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: Can I health these kids? Please? Man?

525
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 3: Like, I know I got a nugget for him that

526
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: could just get them like, you know what I mean?

527
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, man, like I can't wait to hopefully, you know,

528
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: coach one day. Man, you know what I mean.

529
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,719
Speaker 2: Understand this, I understand this. It ain't going nowhere. It

530
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: ain't going nowhere. Get what you got to get out

531
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: of this game now. Your son's on the other hand,

532
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: they might get you to to get out of there

533
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 2: a little early and say, hey, Dad, you better. Hey,

534
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,840

537
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,159

540
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: play corner. It's hard, but everybody wants me to be

541
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 2: a corner because you was a corner, I said, son,

542
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: if you would have saw me at nine, I don't

543
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 2: even think I was a corner. I think I was.

544
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 2: I think I was a must play a bit. Maybe

545
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: it started happening for me in high school. But that's

546
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,040
