And then he would go one to him 107 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 6: at the top and he would win and be like, 108 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 6: damn cool. 109 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 5: Next up, Antonio Gates breaks down his record setting touchdown. 110 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 7: Catch you just in the moment, you know, I'm looking 111 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 7: at the side of I'm reading my side of the field. 112 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 7: I don't got time trying to read the whole scan 113 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 7: the whole field. What's it was like a sticky pump, 114 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 7: you know, And I'm looking at the back yardstick and 115 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 7: go and go right, come around right. I knew it was. 116 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 7: I felt like it was zone, you know. And I gotta, man, 117 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 7: mind you, I gotta I gotta guess this. When after 118 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 7: my first. 119 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: Two steps is this, Uh, who's this on? 120 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: Is this on a linebacker? 121 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 4: Yeah? This is on line back. 122 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 7: It felt like it felt like cover four if I 123 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 7: can look at it. It felt like he was going 124 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 7: to try to push. Yeah, but it was like two safeties. 125 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 7: So it's hard to determine because we in the red zone, right, 126 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 7: It's hard. 127 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: It's hard. 128 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 7: It's hard to determine. But me, I don't even That 129 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 7: was the beauty of not playing either. I don't overthink nothing. 130 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 7: I just go play, you know what I'm saying. Because 131 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 7: when you got this football high iq, you come down, 132 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 7: you can overthink it's still football, it's green grass, or 133 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 7: it ain't. 134 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: Just play, you know what I'm saying. That was my philosophy. 135 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 7: Once I ran up on him, I realized he was 136 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 7: He stayed inside, he didn't push right, so I'm thinking, like, well, 137 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 7: the corner didn't look like he was squatting. 138 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: So that's why I kind of trying to figure out what. 139 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: Was cover six? 140 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 7: It was four, it was two, you know what, Let 141 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 7: me just get back around here. I felt like it's 142 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 7: some type of zone, right, which I felt like it 143 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 7: was cover four because he drove it safety drove it. 144 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: So hard, you know what I'm saying. 145 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 7: So I ended up just trying to loop around and 146 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 7: get around the linebacker with the idea of, if it's four, 147 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 7: let me give him a little something because he's going 148 00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 7: to have to go. 149 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: He's trying to get unerneath me. Yeah, it's going to 150 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: have to go if it's four. Yeah, and if it's true. 151 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,919 Speaker 7: So basically my idea is that if it's two, I 152 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,679 Speaker 7: can still just come on and come around him flatter. 153 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 7: I gotta come flatter. If it's four, I gotta still 154 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 7: come flat. Now I'm the safeties guy. Once I get 155 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 7: a straight lease, now I got to beat him. 156 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: Right. 157 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 7: So the backer is not really the concern. It was 158 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 7: more so the safety. I've always used that formula anyway. 159 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 7: I ain't got time to worry about the first dude. 160 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 7: Whereas his help, right, So where you're gonna go? Yeah, 161 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 7: So I just kind of gave him listen. I felt 162 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 7: like he wasn't really moving. I said, there's no point 163 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 7: of me why and what? He ain't coming right? So 164 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 7: I just came, let's yeah two three for two, three 165 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 7: for two, that's what it might have been. So, and 166 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 7: I've seen enough of those coverages to know.

That's how elite his arm 383 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 2: talent is. He like like Puka was saying, the ball 384 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 2: come right out there, right out that break is right 385 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: on your forehead, literally right up on your forehead, and 386 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: he just over here slings it now. 387 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 5: Steve Smith Senior on the greatness of Davonte Adams and 388 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 5: his own mentality as a route runner. 389 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 9: My favorite old guys too, Like so I still think 390 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 9: Davonte Adams is still that guy. He's not gonna he's 391 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 9: never been a four to three guy, but his releases 392 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 9: are remarkable, just the way he does his hands, ball placement, 393 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 9: catch radius, body control, tempo. 394 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Sudden burst really good sudden burst, and then his. 395 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 9: Creativity to stack you even though he's not faster than you. 396 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 9: So just him being able to use his leverage. So like, 397 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 9: I look at that, But then there's other guys I 398 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 9: think that that are promising, who have the ability. 399 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 2: Who's someone that you think that kind of reminds you 400 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 2: of you, if there's anyone, see, So people ask that 401 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: and hard to do that. So the reason why I did. 402 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 4: I'm not judging you. 403 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 9: The reason why I have a hard time answering that 404 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 9: question is because I also remember that I was supposed 405 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 9: to be a fit front draft pick. I was also 406 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 9: told I was just a returner. So now that I'm 407 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 9: domb playing, everybody's like, oh, he minds me, you But 408 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 9: when I was playing, people didn't like me, and so 409 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 9: you didn't like me. And then there's you know, we 410 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 9: read our stuff on there and they're like, oh, you know, 411 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 9: people like, oh, Steve was just a slot receiver. 412 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 4: And really it was I didn't know that. 413 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 9: I think the game has changed, but I also think 414 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 9: there are players out there who don't remind me of myself, 415 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 9: because I think they are significantly better. I played the 416 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 9: way I played because I was obviously I did like 417 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 9: I didn't have quick feet like Chad like I can do. 418 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 9: I couldn't do great cone drills. I round in my routes. 419 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 9: I never ran the right I never ran the same 420 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 9: route the same way. So they were things that I 421 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 9: did that I used as my advantage. But I ran 422 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 9: my routes kind of add like I was never consistent 423 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 9: on doing things. I did it my way. Yeah, and 424 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 9: but I was really just kind of like covering for 425 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 9: the fact that, man, I was just playing on hope 426 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,239 Speaker 9: of the prayer yea. And so that's just kind of 427 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 9: like I know I was playing with house money, right, 428 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 9: I know that, So just roll the dice, say, man, 429 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 9: put all the chips in. So when I go across 430 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 9: the middle and I know I'm gonna get hit, you 431 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 9: got a choice to get hit with the ball, oh 432 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 9: without the ball. And so a few times like all right, 433 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,719 Speaker 9: I get hit with the ball. Now I get up 434 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 9: and I'm like, man, you know a guy used to 435 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 9: hit me. He'd be like, oh, what you want with that, 436 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 9: and so I started getting up like if you think 437 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 9: you crazy, I'm crazier. 438 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 4: And so it was more like the feed into. 439 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 9: Like to intimidate and show bron be. 440 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: Here all day, your best didn't hurt me. 441 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 4: No. 442 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 5: Cooper Cup is up next, talking about the unconscious competence 443 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 5: you need as a receiver. 444 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 3: Man, there's just so much you can do better, so 445 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: many things, so many details that you can press yourself on, 446 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 3: and like, you know, what kind of tools can at 447 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: your tool belt as counters to what worked? 448 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 4: Like what worked?
