Yea, 28 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: you gotta just start packing sticks with you that we 29 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: had talked about it, we did, but the time it 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,280 Speaker 1: is what it is. Well on the audible. We like 31 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: to start things off a di ice breakers. So every 32 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: show we do this thing called two truths and a Lie. 33 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: So I'm sure you guys have played it. So P. Two, 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna start with you. You want to flip their 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: card over Paris, send this up to you to figure 36 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: out which two sentences are true and which one is 37 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: a lie? All right? I made the Pro Bowl the 38 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: first eight years of my career. That's a so do 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: I just go A B A B. I was a 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: Heisman finalist doing my final year at LSU. I formally 41 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: changed my name from Johnson to Peterson after arriving to LSU. 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: There's two truth and one lie? Which one is it? 43 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: I feel like all of those are true. Was B 44 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: the heisman one? I feel like you were in the 45 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: heisman though, which were you saying that's true or that's 46 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: a lie? The first one is true, that a Pro 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: Bowls is true yea, and the name is true too. Yeah, 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: so bupps to be I like the process of elimination. 49 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: I feel like B should be true though, should have been. 50 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: I remember the heisman Pauls though against West Virginia that year. 51 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: But like there has to be a lot of pressure though, right, 52 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: like coming out of high school, going to college, living 53 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: up to expectations and doing the league. What's the toughest 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: part of living up to those expectations. People think I'm 55 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: crazy all the time when I say this, Like I've 56 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: seen myself in the position that I'm that I'm in already, 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: So it's almost like a movie. So it's like I've 58 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: dreamed this this part of my life already. I'm just 59 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: going along with the flow. So guys always they'll tell you, like, 60 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm never too high, never too low, just even killed. 61 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: And that's what makes me who I am. I guess. 62 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: So the vikings are you dreamed of being? With the Vikings? 63 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: I could I dreamt of being in the NFL. I 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: dreamt of winning a Super Bowl. That's you know, something 65 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: got to be somewhere in the future. And I just 66 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: always just dreamt being around great guys having a positive 67 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: impact on people lives, and thus far throughout my life, 68 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I've been able to do that. That's awesome. I know. 69 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: The other question on there was I didn't know that 70 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: you had formally changed your last name. Yes, yes, I 71 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: was Johnson. My mom, my mom and my dad, they 72 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: was in high school when they had me, so they 73 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: were seventeen and nineteen, and where my mom comes from, 74 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: if you're not married, you're getting the mother's last name, 75 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: and my mom last name was Johnson. Then my parents 76 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: end up getting married when I my senior year in 77 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: high school. So with me being the player that I 78 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: was in high school, they would have think I thought 79 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: that I was cheating the game, changing birth certificates and 80 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff. So my dad just made a family decision, 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: was saying we'll just change your name once we get 82 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: to LSU would be just a clean slate, and it 83 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: was much easier and went into LSUS Peterson instead of 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: Johnson Man could have been PJ. But now you pete two. Yeah, Harris, 85 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: you your turn. Took the card over. You got to 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: figure out which ones or two true and which one 87 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: is a lie. I played linebacker the first two years 88 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: of my college career at Notre Dame. That's true. I 89 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: recently welcomed my newborn daughter, Eleanor James Smith this past summer. 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: That's true. So this is that to be the lie. 91 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: I won the state championship in a hundred meter race 92 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: in track and field in high school. That's false. How 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, but I know the first 94 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: two are true for sure. Okay, process of elimination. Yeah, 95 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: I do like how your brains operate like that thought. 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 1: You guys were like, these are the facts. This is 97 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: how I see things. It's black and white, and that's 98 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that was really nice. It's almost like that's 99 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: how you approach. And I'm gonna make this horrible segue 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: the game itself, right, Like you guys are you seem 101 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: like you kind of think very similarly. Yeah, I think 102 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: we do. Which is I don't know if it came 103 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: with you know, the amount of football that we've played 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: with the guys that we played with previously in our 105 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: career you know, just even from day one, it was 106 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: just like it was like a perfect marriage. Man, It 107 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: wasn't much that we needed to talk about. He saw 108 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: things I saw the same way, and it just made 109 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: it just made him and I communication a lot easier, 110 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: you know, I first year around at it, I feel 111 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: like there's so many times on the field where like 112 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I see you guys look at each other and like 113 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: one of you two make each other right and adopt 114 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: each other. Like do you have an example of like 115 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: a moment where you just made each other right? Just 116 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: at one someday I was getting wrong and he made 117 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: me right, which I can't can't reveal it. Ye, you're right, 118 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: let's go to last year. Was there a play last 119 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: year that you could like share to the audience and 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, I made him right or he made 121 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: me right? You know, I'm sure there was. Yeah, I'm sure. 122 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: I can't think of any last year. I know it's 123 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: been a couple in the run game to where I'm 124 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: reading off him, but yeah, it's just it's just a 125 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: field thing, Okay, And a lot of it's like sometimes 126 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: just like pre snap, it's like if he does this, yeah, 127 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: I'll do this. You do that, and it's like it's 128 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: just kind of real quick. And I think that's what 129 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: makes the game slore for us because once we see 130 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: a certain formation, we'd be like, all right, be on 131 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 1: alert for this or they might be running running this route, 132 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: you know, and then once the snap is the ball 133 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: is snap now, that's when we're able to play much slow. 134 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: And then when they do give us what we're alert for. 135 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: That's why I would just makes it easy for us 136 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: to fall into position. Continuing with this similarity situation, we 137 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 1: got going on thirty career interceptions, twenty nine career interceptions 138 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: right neck and neck. But I think heading into the 139 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: Bears game last season, so the finale, you hadn't had 140 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: an interception yet you had when every single season until 141 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: this past one which you were able to cash in on, 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: were you thinking about that at all? When you know, 143 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: because you know, as a dB, you always want to 144 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to intercept, you know, a quarterback on 145 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: any game and Sunday, and you know, I wasn't getting 146 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: many opportunities. Got the hamstring injury then early on the year, 147 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: wasn't getting many targets. Just had to make the best 148 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: of the targets that was coming my way, you know. 149 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: But for the most part, I just had to stick 150 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,679 Speaker 1: with it. You know, I just knew it was gonna come. 151 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: I even told Harry before we went out. I told 152 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: me the celebration what I'm going to do. I said, 153 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm getting to pick six this game by any means necessary. 154 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: He said, pick six, and he hadn't said that the 155 00:07:54,760 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: whole year. He wants it. I got my inception. This 156 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: ship done sixty five yards and you knew when you know, 157 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: he actually had us practice the celebration and he kind 158 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: of forgotten after the school really back like as it 159 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: was happening, I was like, wow, like he really called this? 160 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: What was the celebration? It was me? Okay. I was 161 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: telling him. I was like, I want to come back here. 162 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a pick six. I'm gonna go in 163 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: the middle of the stadium. I'm gonna shake your hand. 164 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sign like I'm signing a contract, and I'm 165 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: back here, all right. What are some of the traits 166 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: that makes a player a ball hawk, like somebody that's 167 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: all all always around the ball. There's almost sixty interceptions 168 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: between the two of you, guys, interceptions don't always tell 169 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: the whole story, and I think most of his career 170 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: kind of being a man corner, his number of interceptions 171 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: is more impressive than my number of interceptions as a safety, 172 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: where I get to have a little more vision and 173 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: be a little freer to chase the ball where he's 174 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: following a man all and then getting his eyes back 175 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: at the last second. So that's that's a little tougher 176 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: to actually catch the ball in that scenario because that 177 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: ball is not coming to you, where I have a 178 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: little bit of an advantage in that regardless because I 179 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 1: get to look being a ballhawk. You can do it 180 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: different ways, Like it's always about just how you line up, 181 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: if you can recognize anything pre snap, like we've talked about, 182 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: like slowing things down, eliminating things that aren't going to happen, 183 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: and I could get this this or this and then 184 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: going from there. I'm not sure if you know this, 185 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: but Harrison's first interception was against the Cardinals. So you 186 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: were at the game. I don't know if you know 187 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: that or not, but what do you did you really? Yeah, 188 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: I think was that, Kristen ponders you, Yeah, he was 189 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: our quarterback. It was John Skelton for you. Yes, Skelton, 190 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: priest up, drop, steps away from the pressure, runs up 191 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: the middle, fires intercepted, and it's picked off by Harrison Smith. 192 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: The rookie comes to the right side, hit side the 193 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: twenty to the fifteen Lake touchdown. I think we got 194 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: beat up pretty good too. Yeah. I think we won 195 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: by a couple of scores. One thing to you guys 196 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: have in common is you both yours your second career 197 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: pick six is both came against the Chicago Bears. So 198 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: I guess that's something that you guys both have in common. 199 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: And I know, Harry, you vividly remember that one, right, Yeah, 200 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: I remember that one. What goes on in your mind. 201 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: That's the first thing that happens outside of Okay, let's score. 202 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: It's like this, You get like a crazy rush um 203 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: that I haven't really felt doing many other things. Um, 204 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: because you're not supposed to have it. Likes to have 205 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,559 Speaker 1: the ball. So when you get it and you just 206 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: like you get this flush over your body and you 207 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: like start running a little faster than you're used to 208 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: running and just trying to find an opening. I remember 209 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: that when I caught it in the middle of the field, 210 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: It's kind of like some sort of cover three and 211 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 1: I had to make a guy miss and then I 212 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: hit the sideline on the right and have like a 213 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: nice little caravan. So you're just trying to find your 214 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: blockers in some space and just see what happens. For me, 215 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: it was a little different because I had an opportunity 216 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: to play punt returner. So with me, whenever I get 217 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,679 Speaker 1: an opportunity to get the ball in my hands, I'm 218 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: automatically thinking touchdown, you know, setting up my blocks. You know, 219 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: always you want to get it in and get it 220 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: out to the near sideline, whichever sideline that you on, 221 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: or like I did in Chicago game, if I have 222 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: to cut it back across the field, we have to 223 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: let that be as well. But I think with me 224 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: having you know, the return skills that I was able 225 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: to showcase in college and early stages of my career, 226 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: I just think it makes it easier for me when 227 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: I do get an interception and try to take it 228 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: back to the out. Well, speaking of taking it back 229 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: to the house, you got to take your kids back 230 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 1: to the house. Yeah, you won't have another second portion 231 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: of the show, but Harrison Smith will stick around pe 232 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: to appreciate you, and I appreciate you, guys.

This is the audible presented by three M. 239 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: My name is Gay Henderson. I'm alongside Tatum Everett. The 240 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: first segment of the show, we had Patrick Peterson and 241 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: if you missed that, head on orbit to Vikings dot 242 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: com to hear that segment.

Last week we had Cam Biningham and 245 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: Josh Mtellas on the show and we started. I asked him, 246 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: I said, who's the best trash talker on the team, 247 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 1: And of course the first person they said was Chris 248 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: Boyd And I was like, oh, who else talks trash? 249 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: And they were like, well, Harrison Smith. He talks trash, 250 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: but it's like on a different level, Harry be talking. 251 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: But people don't watch watch the TV copy last year 252 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: against the Niners. It's hilarious. He's subtle, really, you see, 253 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,959 Speaker 1: so Harry's Harry's out there getting bitter. He talks to 254 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: coaches very good. Sideline say, anybody say something rest that 255 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 1: like a little little, small little thing. They say, you 256 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: talk trash to coaches. That's not really true. Like, I 257 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 1: guess I like I like, um, I like comedy. I 258 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: like okay, like making jokes and not making light of things. 259 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 1: But like, we spend a lot of time together and 260 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: we do a lot of talking and communicating, so like, 261 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: you gotta keep it interesting. Um, And I'm like more 262 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: of the coaches age is at this point then some 263 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: of the younger guys, so um, we keep it good. Yeah. 264 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: Do you find that maybe the trash tracking doesn't They 265 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 1: don't understand it if they're younger. I mean, is it 266 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: like an age thing. No. I think it's when you're younger, 267 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: you're just trying to trying to figure out the plays 268 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: and this and that. Where I've been around kind of 269 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: long enough to where can mix it up a little 270 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: bit with some of the coaches. I mean, we've heard 271 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: plenty of players talk about, you know how being your 272 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: father has like given them more purpose when they're on 273 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: the field. Is that the same way for you? Like 274 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: do you find a little bit more purpose in the 275 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: game or purpose in the way you, I guess go 276 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: about life now that you have a daughter, I'd say 277 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: go about like life. But when it comes to just 278 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: like playing football, honestly, no, Okay, that'd be a lie 279 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: to say, because whenever I've been able to play football, 280 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: like it's always just it's so like everything when you're 281 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: when you're in it, so like I don't know how 282 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: you could really change that At this point. I get today. 283 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you're double digits into the league now, 284 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: so I get it. What makes you excited to continue 285 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: to play every day, to wake up and do this 286 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: for a living? To win? You know, even things you 287 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: I might have messed up in like training camp, like 288 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: I hold on too, and you know, games obviously, and 289 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: the wins you savor, the individual win on a play 290 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: that nobody else knows about, and you're like that was 291 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: that was a good rep or the one you didn't 292 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: do but it didn't it wasn't glaring then, but it 293 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: hurts somebody else, and it's like I could have helped 294 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: him there this and that it's just it's such a 295 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: good game because it's not it's not just physical. There's 296 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: so much mental that goes into it at this level 297 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: that it's like it's just such a so much going on. 298 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,479 Speaker 1: It's just so team oriented and so many guys affect 299 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: other guys, and then the physicality is a factor, like 300 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: sometimes you can just beat somebody. Um. So it's just 301 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: there's not really a game like it. I mean I've 302 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: always I think I told you this before. You have 303 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: more rushing guards than Dalvin Cook probably career watch just 304 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: from how often you run back and forth and a 305 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, Like how exhausted are you after a game? 306 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: Just from disguising coverages we're starting at the line of 307 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: scrimmage and then running to a deep third. Uh. Some 308 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: some games more than others, you know those are I 309 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 1: think that like that stuff I didn't think about for 310 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: many years, and then I started, like I kept kind 311 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: of watching it. I was like, man, that game, I 312 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: was really tired, Like why was I so tired? And 313 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: it's that it's like before the play snap that ran 314 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: forty yards, Like why do you? Of course I'm tired, Um, 315 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: so try to try to keep track of that a 316 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: little bit. A lot has been made about this staff 317 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: and bringing in new changes nutrition wise and things to 318 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: make your body healthy. How are you feeling with all 319 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: these new changes and what's something that maybe they've brought 320 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: that's really helped you this season? I think just like steady, 321 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: steady routine, it's not just one day, you know, they say, oh, 322 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: we got this in this and we're gonna we're gonna 323 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: do all this stuff like that happens a lot in 324 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: every I'm sure in every business and things you highlight. 325 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: You want to emphasize something and you emphasize it for 326 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: a day or two and then it kind of gets 327 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: stale and you forget about it. Um where we've we've 328 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: stayed on top of it. It's every day, all day. 329 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: You need anything, come ask If you don't think you 330 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 1: need anything, we're still going to suggest some things to you. 331 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: So our our whole staff and Remy and and everybody 332 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: has done an awesome job.

I mean, I feel 333 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: like at this point of your career, like being smarter 334 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: about your health is more important than being physical. And 335 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: we're trying to be the biggest safety now, right, would 336 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: you would you agree at that point? Yeah, And you 337 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: kind of gotta know what is demanded of your body 338 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: on the field. What's you know, a safety in a 339 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: different scheme may be asked to do different things, or 340 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: a linebacker what have you. So you got to figure 341 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: out what's needed from your body and then adjust accordingly. 342 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: What have you enjoyed about I guess almost mentoring Cambine, 343 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: I'm Josh matelas lewis seen in this process and this 344 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: particular defense so far. Well, this defense is new to 345 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: me too, That's true, and there's some carryover and just 346 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: years of experience and stuff like that. So we're all 347 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: learning it together. But there's there's obviously some things that 348 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 1: I can say, this happened to me six years ago 349 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: or whatever, and like like we were talking about, I 350 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: like I as a safety, you tend to remember some 351 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: of the bad things. So all like I sit next 352 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: to Cam and I'll be like, hey, it's twenty fourteen, 353 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Like this happened, and it'll be like, how do you 354 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 1: remember that. I'm like, because I got hurt because I 355 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: missed the tackle or whatever, and and so I think 356 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: being able to share some of those things. I don't 357 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: know if they help or not. It's fun one thing, 358 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: but I think it also gives them like, maybe that's 359 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: a mistake I made that they don't have to make. 360 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,640 Speaker 1: It's pretty fun and they like they're all such they're 361 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: like me, like they love the scheme of football on 362 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: the mental side of it. And when you can talk 363 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: to guys without having to draw anything and they can, 364 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: you can all envision. Okay, that was the formation, this 365 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: is the situation. This is what happened. It's pretty it's 366 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: pretty cool. Well, just speaking of just schemes and getting 367 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: rid of bad memories, we had a bad memory Week 368 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: two this year against the Philadelphia Eagles with Jalen Hurts. 369 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: How much of that game preparing for that game can 370 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: you use when preparing for a guy in justin field 371 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: to similar similar style running quarterback, back back and throw 372 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, that's obviously a game we didn't 373 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: get done what we wanted to get done. Um and Hurts. 374 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: Hurts played grade, he's having a great season. Yeah, we're 375 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: gonna look at those things and see what we could 376 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: maybe do better. Some things, maybe we did a good 377 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: job with that. We want to carry over. So yeah, 378 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: you always want to learn from your past. Success and mistakes. 379 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: Are there any similarities between the two or is justin fields? 380 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: This this game help you prepare for future games? You 381 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like the style of quarterback to 382 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: some degree. Okay, so yeah, um, you know there's most 383 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: of the guys nowadays have some ability to run. Um. 384 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 1: You know, I think those two guys are on one extreme. 385 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. I know your honesty 386 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: is very refreshing. I like when when we say something 387 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: or we talk about something, you know, not really I 388 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, you're right. I was always wondering. Thanks 389 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: for answering. No, but but all series. So when you guys, 390 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: if you're going for four and one, you're going for 391 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: three and O start in the division, Like, how how 392 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: much of an impact can something like a start like 393 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: that do for a locker room long term? Yeah? Honestly, 394 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: I've been on starts that weren't great and we ended 395 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: up making the playoffs. And I've been on like five 396 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: and oh starts that didn't make the playoffs. So the 397 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: only constant is that the NFL season is a roller 398 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: coaster and keeping that even that even keeled mindset and 399 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: just staying on top of if if you if you won, 400 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: but you messed you know, these things up. Focus on 401 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: those things. Don't just say all we want it's cool, 402 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: it'll figure itself out, or you only care when you 403 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: lose to fix things. Um, those things add up over time, gotcha, Harrison. 404 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: We talked about pick six six earlier. We talked about, 405 00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: you know, just some of the history you and Patrick 406 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: Peterson have together, Patrick Peterson his touchdown celebration earlier. I 407 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: gotta ask this because I'm assuming you're gonna get You're 408 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: gonna get another pick six before this year is over 409 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 1: or your career is over. What is it going to 410 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: take for you to hit the gritty A lesson, A 411 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: lesson from JJ Hey, lesson, that's it. Um, it's gotta 412 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: be a pretty involved lesson. Yeah, I feel like if 413 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: the Bees are lacking, so yeah, I think I would 414 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: do it. I would do it in that case. And 415 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,719 Speaker 1: it have to be like it have to be a 416 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: big game. It wouldn't have to just be like it's 417 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 1: a regular game. I guess. Explain what a big game is, 418 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: like a playoff game, okay, something like that, or to 419 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: win the division at the end of the season, something 420 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: like that. Okay, Well, Tatum, I guess the next the 421 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: next show, we should probably do it in a standing formation. 422 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: Have Harrison Smith, justin Jefferson on both both of the 423 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: guys on the show.
