I was lucky and I was thankful. You know, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.720 they had that many tackles in those many opportunities to 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.239 show that I can I can play ball and be consistent. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:18.760 So I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good. So Antonio, before 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.360 we get into the football stuff, which is really really 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:25.320 good and we love talking to you about that. What 0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:29.560 is Johnston, South Carolina? Like ah Man, real small town, 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.080 but it's the peach capital of the world, so rubly 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.160 that was gonna be very fault. It really is the 0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.840 peach capital of the world. Yeah, the peach capital of 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.320 the world most of the time. You know, if he 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.320 getting any peaches that are coming from down south, they 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.000 probably came from Johnston more than likely. So what's it. 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.000 What's it like though to live? It's a small town. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:52.040 H yeah, extremely small, super small town. Um probably, I 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.280 know y'all said they even had what thirty five hundred 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.240 people including the prison. Well we got about twenty five 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.839 hundred including the prison. So yeah, it's really really small. Man. 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:04.240 It's a real small community. Like everybody knows everybody, so 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:06.560 it's not too much you can do as far as 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.880 like get yourself in trouble because they gonna know who 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.079 you are and then they're gonna tell your mom one 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.680 then it's just it's all bad. So yeah, it's a 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.000 real small town. Could you ever do it again? Small 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.760 town life? I mean, you spent the last seven years 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.880 in big cities in the NFL. Could you move back 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.919 and do a small town again? Oh? Yeah, man, most definitely. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.040 I love I can go back every year at least 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.079 three to four times because I love I just love 0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:30.440 being home, Like it's just you get away from a 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.440 lot of the noise and everything and you just get 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.840 to be a part of It's like it's really like 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.240 a big family, like being in those small type of towns, 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.160 so it's like almost like a family. You get to 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.000 see everybody went to school with and everything. So you're 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:44.000 either you either love peaches or you hate peaches. Which 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.360 one is it? I don't hate them, but I don't 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.200 love them me that I'm like right there in between 0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.600 you like you have so many, you know, growing up, 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:56.360 and He's just like, I've had enough cobbler. Yeah, Thanksgiving, man, 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.839 I've had enough peach cobbling. Enough enough, I have enough 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.120 of ass. I'm just my wife though, Oh man, she 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.400 loves them. Though, she loves them. Yeah, I tell you, 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.040 I think of your wife when I think of your 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.760 interception against the Saints, right, I mean a critical, pivotal 0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.440 interception would have been fourteen to three early in that game. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.359 Not sure the Cardinals come back. Cliff Kingsbury studied your interception, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.560 not the two picks sixes is maybe the most important, 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.840 but as the pencil next sideline reporter, I vividly remember 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.880 you coming to the sideline and going to the rail 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.280 and looking for your wife and take it from there. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.119 Explain to everyone, because I think a lot of folks 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.800 are familiar with the cooking accident you had, but just 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.080 the wife and in the props and plot that's you 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:37.720 paid to your wife and your recovery from those second 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.120 degree burns. Yeah. Man, So my wife is very very 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.799 important to me. I love them more than a world, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.440 of course, and more than anything in the world. So 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.600 I've always told it like I was, like, man, when 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.000 that day come that you know, guy, finally best blessed 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:52.839 me with that opportunity to get my hands on the ball. 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.160 You know, I pretty god as you're there, because I'm 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.279 an come and bring get the ball and getting an 0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.200 opportunity to come back after being you know, sustained in 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.719 the injury that I sustained, uh right, during training camp. 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.800 You know, I was in the dark place. And so 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:09.320 to get that that that pick after seven years of 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.080 waiting for a long long time and not getting many 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.360 opportunities to you know, get myself out there to get 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.080 those interceptions. I mean, like man, it was perfect time 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.760 with everything and so when I when I made it, 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.400 I went straight to the sign. I'm like, uh, where 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.599 she had? I know she's somewhere over there. And I 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:26.760 was as I got to get down the sideline I'm 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.120 looking for and people was like, yeah, man, you was 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.479 showing off, showing and stuff. Had you walked going on? 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.680 But I was like nah, yeah, but I was really 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.560 looking for her. I couldn't find her. And then I 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.280 turned around to just walk away and Benjamin was like, 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.640 oh dash she is. I was like, perfect. And then 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:44.240 so I was able to present her with the ball man. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.039 So yeah, it was you know, yeah, Tonio, Thanksgiving obviously 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.440 is right around the corner coming off here. You've got 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.160 an awful lot to be thankful for, right, I mean 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.560 it just can you put this this season into perspective 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.080 for us and what it means to you? It means 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.480 a great deal, of course, But it was kind of 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.640 like a wake up call to a certain degree. Um 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.039 was just everything where how everything was going for me, 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.039 for Kemp, you know, it was so promising and this 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:16.800 that and the third and all in the blink of 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:20.400 it can all be gone. So at that time I 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.919 was like thying. I was faced with two things. It 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:24.760 was like I can either fall in the hole and 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.320 give up and just you know, allow my injury to 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.640 you know, take away everything, or I can use this 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.560 to to become better or to become something more of myself. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.320 And so when I when I got hurt, I was like, man, okay, 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.120 you know, if God does nothing else from me outside 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.080 of just you know, healing me, then I'm great for him, 0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:43.800 thankful for it. So as I approached it with that 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.719 type of mindset, I began to like, I heal faster 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.680 because the doctor said, you know, the type of burns 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.000 that I have had both second degree, very deep second 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.520 degree and third degree burns, and so I just had 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.320 a lot of I started having a lot more a 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.960 lot more gratitude for the small thing. So something about 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.599 just being able to get up, to walk, to get 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:06.760 to the restroom was a big, big deal for me 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.560 because within that first week it wasn't bad. But the 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.240 second week when my feet swoll up and skins and 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:15.600 beginning to peel and had to change my wounds. Like 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:21.560 my wife literally like she was I guess five months pregnant, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.640 six months pregnant at the time, she would literally have 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.840 to get up and pick me up and take me 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.160 to the bathroom. So I know that I was up 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.360 here a couple of times, but the days that I 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:38.800 was here, I was an extreme amount of pain because 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:43.520 just because how much my feet had swolled swollen, and uh, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.200 just with the nerve in is in my feet. So 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:49.080 the type of feeling that you may have that you 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.960 have in that to try to describe the sense of 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.000 pain that I felt. And even now, like I had 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:55.600 to take my shoes off sometimes and I had to 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:57.240 lift my feet up and go on my tippy toes 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.560 because if when the blood flows to my toes, the 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.760 nerve is still healing, so they kind of have like 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.040 this itchy feeling like if you go to sleep and 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:06.680 you go to sleep on your arm and you wake 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.160 up and you know how you can't move your arm 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:11.080 and they've got that static like feeling, and so add 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.760 that with a little bit of sense of like somebody 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.840 just constantly like pinching you, like, and so that's the 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.480 kind of like feeling that I have. And it was 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.600 way way, way worse when I really was like really 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.320 really recovering before I got back to bass. So like 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.320 I just started being extremely grateful for each and every 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:33.280 day cool and within six weeks you were back on 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:37.840 an NFL field. Yeah, that is remarkable. Yeah, Antonio, and 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.080 this last game, you had a career high eleven tackles, 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.840 you had two passes defense. I mean, you guys turned 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.640 Cooper Cup into a non factor. He had negative one 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:51.400 yard receiving. That was all minus the Cardinals number one 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.800 cover corner Byron Murphy. Think about that and plenty of 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.839 other players, by the way, on both sides of the ball. 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.960 And once again, here's what you had to say afterwards, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.359 Kelvin Beecham, react to how you describe the win at LA. 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.440 Vitamin W is always good. You know, it makes it 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.080 easier to go to work. It makes it easy to 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.360 deal with the knicks, knacks and bruises and pains. You know, 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.520 it makes it easier to go to work. And so 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:18.280 we needed that vitamin W. What's vitamin W? Oh you 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.040 got a big laugh out of Kelvin Beecham. Right, and 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:24.559 based on hard knocks last night, does vitamin W helped 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.800 cure popcorn itis? He had his own deal. Yeah, Yeah, 0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:33.400 I don't know. I hope it do. So tell me 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:37.000 about the game and that win and just I mean, 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.320 how pivotal the win was. And I don't know if 0:09:39.320 --> 0:09:42.560 it's classified information. But Cooper Cup in two games had 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.240 seven catches forty three yards, zero touchdowns on eleven targets. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.720 What was the key defensively against the Rams this season? Oh, well, 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.400 going into the game, we of course, you know that's 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.240 a divisional opponent, so we know them very well. So 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.280 it wasn't like we were going into the game like, 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.040 hey man, we got you know, double bracket coverage each 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.040 and every player and just mess up the whole scheme. Na. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.000 It was just like, hey, we gotta line up, know 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.160 where he is, and they gave me that role um 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:11.320 this week with Byron being down, and of course, like 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.520 we have like a great, great great room of dbs 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:17.960 and that anybody can come in at any given time 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.040 and covering the number one receiver with no problem. And 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.079 you know that's just a test of advanced Joseph and 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:27.320 his staff and and and everyone else. That's a part 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:31.360 of like getting a roster together, like we have competitors 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.160 through and through and so man, going into that week, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.600 it was just like, hey, we're gonna line up, We're 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.320 gonna play at what we play and do what we 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:39.960 do very well. We know that they like to run 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.880 the ball a lot and so they was like, hey, 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.800 you know, corners, you gotta show up and fill in 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.120 those gaps and whenever we get crack blocks, and I 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.480 don't know why, but they kept running it to my side. 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.720 So I mean I would think after like the third 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.360 or fourth time, they were like, Okay, let's try to 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.400 the other side, but they kept coming back. So I 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:58.400 just kept, you know, throwing that body in there. And 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.199 that's what you gotta do. And for us as corners 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.200 to be able to tackle h in this league and 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:08.360 more so primarily in this division, that's very, very important 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.360 because most of these teams are run first type of offense. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.200 And so when we can do that and make them 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.160 one dimensional and pass the ball like that gives us 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.280 an opportunity to do what we do best, and that's 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:23.960 covered Antonio. Man, it's just amazing to watch you. You're big. 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.199 You're big for a corner um, You've got great size, 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.400 You use your body, your physical you tackle, you can 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.800 walk up on a receiver and play press. Man. I mean, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:39.440 you really look like you found a home here. Why 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:43.040 if you found a home with the Cardinals. Oh, Man, 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:45.839 I think it's just all God's timing. To be honest, 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.800 to be quite honest, Like I've been around the league 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.080 for a while. This is my fourth team, and I 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.800 just couldn't find that home or that place for me 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:57.280 to stick as far as getting the opportunities to play defense. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.480 And so once I came here, I think being released 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:03.280 last year from Tempa, I came in and coaching events 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.720 was just like, hey, man, you're gonna play at some point, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.800 any time, You're gonna play, And I think, what the 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.760 I mean? I played in the second game for sure, 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.640 Marco went down. I finished the game against Minnesota here 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.880 in the home and where they missed the field goal 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.319 and I did the like the infamous black the backflip 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:19.960 and the end of the game, and everybody was talking 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.599 about and I played basically the whole second half. And 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.959 I didn't even really know the playbook like that, And 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.240 then Byron and Marco got hurt. I think it was 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.560 week five, and uh that was still with me, you know, 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:33.240 trying to learn the playbook and stuff on the fly. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.040 So I had to start when we played San franc 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:37.840 for the first time in the home game, and I 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.600 was actually coming off an injury too, but we had 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.960 so many guys going that had went down in that 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:47.040 Rams game I knew. I was like, Damn, Marco got hurt, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:49.760 Byron got hurt. I hurt because I got hurt in 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:51.480 that game as well, and I had to come out 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.600 and I didn't come back into the fourth quarter. So 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:55.040 I was like, man, I'm not going to miss out 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:56.920 on this opportunity to get my first start here and 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.040 show what I can do. Then we got that win 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.480 once I at that start, and so from their own 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:04.840 I kind of earned their trust and They've done nothing 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.360 but continuously increased my role as far as being on 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.360 the defense. And so I've been making the plays and 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.040 taking advantage of the opportunities that I've been presented with. 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.560 And so I'm just thankful. And the latest greatest example 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.320 of a member of the secondary playing through pain and 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.080 making it happen right Buddha Baker, And here he was 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:24.080 after the game and how he was able to play 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.360 defied the expectations he was going to miss two or 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.040 three weeks until he didn't. For me, I think of 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.400 every game as a playoff game. So they told me 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.040 it's a three to four week process. But the way 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.040 I worked, the way I did my treatment all week, 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.520 the way you know, there's on the Cardinals treatment staff. 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.360 Did I was able to play today and you know, 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.640 not a hundred, but did good enough when we got 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.960 to w We know what he does for you guys 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:47.600 on the field, but what do you do for you guys? 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.320 Just your spirit, just your mentality when you see him 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.160 out there and define the you know the forecast that 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.319 he was supposed to miss two or three weeks. Oh yeah, man, 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:57.520 that's just to show to his character and what type 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.160 of player in person that he is. He's just a 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.720 dog man. It's like you want that guy on the 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.200 field because he just give you that extra sensive juice 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.480 in that extra sensive fight. When you know that you 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.040 got a brother behind you that's just as willing to 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.160 get in that dog fight with you, then you are 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:13.599 yourself like, man, they make it easier to play, and 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.960 he's not making any businesses, business decisions as far as 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:20.800 when it comes to making any tackles or any pass breakups. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:23.120 He's getting in there, and so man, it's it's just 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.960 very very important, you know, to a defense like that. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.080 We have to have that type of guy like that, 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.840 and we're thankful, as I said before, that we have 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.600 all the guys basically that our backups can come in. Banjo. 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:36.960 He started a number of games too, and so we 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.560 were like, okay, Benjo, we already know what you can do. 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.800 Of course they do because you've already started before. So man, 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.520 as I said, our defensive back group, like, man, this 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.040 is this is one of a kind. Like everybody really 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.200 from the first to the third string can can really ball. 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.120 I'll tell you what. We're gonna come back and we're 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.720 gonna talk about Mexico City because you've been there and 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:02.080 done that. We're gonna about your talk with Cole McCoy. 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.200 We saw some of that in Hard Knocks. Good's amazing. 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.200 Cole McCoy has helped guys all over the roster on 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.000 both sides of the ball. So we want to get 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.200 your thoughts on that. And then of course the forty 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.400 nine Ers. How you guys were able to sweep the 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.560 Niners a year ago. You know they're out for revenge 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.440 this year for sure, and they also have in terms 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.400 of their passing game, nobody has more yards after catch 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:26.400 than forty nine Ers receivers. When it comes to tackling, 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.240 you had the eleven Guess what everyone's gonna have to 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.920 bring that aspect of their game to Mexico City. There's 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:33.360 no doubt about it. It's the Big Red Rage presented 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.920 by santan Ford and Gilbert. We are santan Ford. We 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:41.240 continue with Cardinals cornerback and leading tackler Antonio Hamilton. As 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:53.960 we continue with a big red rage. Snapped to Wolford 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.040 back to throw fires near your side. Cup bade to 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.840 catch run out of play immediately by Hamilton, pops out 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.720 rose deep middle and Hannah catches made by Cup that 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.280 he bumbles the ball. It's loose and they're gonna say incomplete. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.120 They're gonna say that Cooper Cup never controlled it. What 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:13.760 a great job. Antonio Hamilton locked it away, Are you 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.960 kidding me? Stuck that paw in there and ripped the 0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:19.720 pig out and up up the middle for acres no 0:16:19.880 --> 0:16:23.320 running room as he is drilled by Antonio Hamilton in 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:26.080 the hole the twenty one yard line play action booting 0:16:26.080 --> 0:16:28.080 to the right, getting rid of the passpot at the 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.360 twenty yard line. Get up to about the twenty five 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.320 is Hopkins. Hamilton on the tackle. Great job once again 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.280 defensively coming up and making that tackle first down for 0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:40.240 the Rams on their twenty five A pass played to 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.200 the left and jumping in front and almost picking it 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.720 off was Hamilton. But it's incomplete. Ellen Robinson running the 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:51.560 zero route to the left of Wolford and Antonio Hamilton 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.720 jumped the robs. So you're saying, man, passion Wolf called 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.240 the name Antonio Hamilton a lot during that game. You'd 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.040 be right eleven tackle those two PBUs. I'm guessing you 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:05.399 really wanted that pick six, Oh Man, without a shadow 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.439 of a doubt, did you bang up your thumb on that? 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:12.320 If I might ask, Oh, no, So my index finger 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.679 and my middle finger have been messed up for a 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.359 number of a number of weeks. And so if you 0:17:18.400 --> 0:17:20.600 could go back and slow down and watch how the 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.399 ball hit my hand, it really if it would have 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:23.920 hit my pump, oh I would have walked down there 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:26.719 easily without a doubt. But the way that it hit 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.160 my finger, it pushed my index and my middle finger back. 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.280 So and I don't really have a whole I didn't 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.760 have a whole lot of strength and at that time 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:37.520 and then it just ah, it's gruesome, so like to 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.400 have that when you need your hands and your fingers 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:43.760 like it's just the most aggravating thing in the world. Antonio. 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.840 What do you like to do in your free time? Oh? Man, 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:48.800 so I like to spend a lot of time with 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:52.240 my family. Um, whether that's you know, we sit at home, 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:56.760 we play a lot of uno, um like literally a lot, 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.320 a lot of you know, and uh, we like to 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:00.800 go to the movie and I like to take my 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:02.960 kids to the park and do just man. I just 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.719 try to be present, really, just to be around my family. 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.800 So you have two young daughters and now you're expecting 0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:12.240 a son soon right here? Oh, real, soon, real soon. 0:18:12.880 --> 0:18:15.280 I think my wife she was talking about I think 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.560 what's it called the burking something, uh, burking hicks, I 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:21.840 think contractions, thinking that she was having them last night. 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.840 So I'm like, oh, weout Mexico. Just just just just 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.879 hold off till Tuesday or Monday, Monday, late Monday night. 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:30.720 When I get back in the name, We're good because 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.080 we got a home game. So this season, have you 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.800 learned anything about yourself this season? Oh? Yeah, yeah, I 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:41.400 really have. I've learned a lot that I'm in seven years. 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:43.639 You would think you would know everything about yourself as 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.520 far as when it comes to, you know, playing in 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.280 this league, but you don't, you know, So I try 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.840 to use every day to grow and I noticed that, man, 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.000 I fight like no matter what, no matter what, I fight, um, 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:56.359 even when the odds are stacked up against me, I 0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:59.600 always fight. And you know, and I know that I 0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.159 don't have control over everything, but I do try to 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:04.800 control what I can control the best of my ability. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:06.880 And so with that, I try to go out and 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:09.520 put my my my best foot forward and I just 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:11.520 try to play as hard as I can, whether that's 0:19:11.520 --> 0:19:16.240 on special teams, defense, and quite frankly who whatever positions 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:17.879 and that they needed me to do, I try to 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:21.080 do it at my best because I know that I'm 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.639 not playing for myself. I'm paying I'm playing for my family. 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:24.960 I want to take care of my family in the 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.560 way that I that I really want to and I 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:28.879 haven't gotten that yet, but I know it's coming. You 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:31.639 mentioned your defensive coordinator Vans Joseph. I don't know what 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.040 the question was, but essentially could have been, you know, 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:37.280 what have you learned about Antonio Hamilton. Here's the VJA. 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.159 I mean, he came out of camp as a starter. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.280 He's getting back to what he was and in the summer, 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:44.560
