And you guys have been doing that. 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.080 So I think I really want to ask coach Quinn. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:13.800 You know, if I got a chance to play in 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.400 his defense, what I would have been a Hall of 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:16.760 fame definitely. 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:17.920 Well think about it. 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.960 Everybody they play, all the coners they're playing in his defense, 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.880 they bought a lot, bought alid Hall of famers. They 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:28.360 get the ball back. Charles Woodson, Green Bay, Richard Sherman. 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.759 True, all right, I'm saying these guys. 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.720 You know, all I'm saying is you are You are 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.000 a product of your coaching. 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.040 Oh, no, question about all the time. So I know 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:40.680 you're gonna talk with him about this, but I want 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.200 to ask you. Yeah. Look, let's be honest. Training camp 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.280 has a vault. Yeah, and that's what I mean. Yeah, 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.440 And so how have you seen it change? 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.680 Because you've kind of seen both sides where it started 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.640 one way, and it's not to take anything away from 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.040 the players now, but it is different. 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:55.800 Well, first of all, when I first got the training camp. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.080 First of all, we was in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. For the 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.840 people that's Washington fan, they know how old well Carlisle, Pennsylvania. 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.040 And I never forget just coming to the training camp 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.120 and it was just in Pennsylvania. It was like one 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.400 oh five hot. I couldn't believe it. And Bruce Smith, 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.720 I'll never forget it. Just turns around and say training 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:14.120 camp is. 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:18.880 About to crush your soul, just crush your soul. And 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.320 I'm like, what is he? What is he talking about? 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:27.519 Forty eight hours laid soul is crushed standing me soul 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.600 crushed so bad because I'm waking up. I'm waking up 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:32.639 at like six in the morning because we got to 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.240 go way in and make sure we ain't lose too 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.080 much weight the next day. This when too a days 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.360 with two of days like we used to practice both 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.320 of these practices. I'm talking about heart. So now you 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.120 got to get up, you gotta get your weight. You 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:43.920 got to make sure you gotta eat breakfast cause they 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.000 got to keep the weight on you. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.360 You're losing like five, six, seven, eight. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.160 Nine pounds a day, but you're trying to gain it 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.320 back doing your sleep it's just it's organized chaos. Said, 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.359 it's finest, and it's your body getting pushed to the limit. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.480 Not all of your day out today, out today. 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.639 Then they say, you know what, by the way, Saturday 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:05.919 we're going to play the Dolphins. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.880 So it's just none stop. 0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.560 It was a test of wheels that you knew if 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.080 a man made it out of training cat we had 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.919 respect for everybody around the league because we know they 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.640 had been tested in a way. Now it's one hard 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.240 practice in the morning, walk through in the day. I 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.120 understand they got one more game than we do. They 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.000 trying to say these guys leg they got one or 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.239 less preseason games. But just like my granddaddy generation did 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.200 with us when he looked me in the face as 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.720 I had my headphones on listening to a CD player 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.080 and he was like, hey, you're sout. You know what 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.400 our generation said the same thing. Yeah, I don't think 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.320 it's South. I just think and starat of working harder, 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.080 we're leaning towards working smarter, and that's what the new 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.120 generation is about. 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.560 Were you ready? I mean were you ready for? I 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.040 mean you can prepare, people can tell you about it, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:56.640 but you never known to you Now, no I. 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.200 Was ready because I had just been built that way. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.360 And plus I was one of the few players that 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.360 loved practice. So just try I forget you loved it, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.800 love practice. So I'm giggling, laughing, and everybody looking at 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.839 me like this, jerk, what's wrong with you? 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.760 One more day of football, dude, have fun doing it. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.400 We play a kids game, and I kept I reinforced 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.760 it all the time to myself, do not get caught 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.400 up in yourself thinking you are the sh No, you 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:28.279 play a kid's game. Take your time and enjoy every 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.719 step of it. So it never bothered me. But I 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:33.920 seen player did it. They didn't like it, like they 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.640 just they disdained training camp. I know player for a fact, 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.160 a lot of players were tired because they just didn't. 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:40.640 Want to do training camp. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.279 No more like if you would have told them no 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.400 training camp, they would have played three more years. I 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.960 know players that just flat out you know what I'm through. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.400 I cannot make it through that again. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.040 So we tend to forget. I know you don't. 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:52.960 But but their guy's trying to make a team. You 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.680 guys fighting for their jobs. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.000 Here, their career, your dream. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.440 Yes, yes, so well, folks, and the guys we know 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.240 on the team. But man, that's one of the things 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.200 I think that makes it so interesting that there are 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.520 guys who will rise up, guys who will fall back. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.279 There's some serious competition. 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.480 So it's always gonna be competition, and it's always gonna 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.640 be that one vet. Oh, I didn't see that coming 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.840 cut him. Well, maybe because somebody undrafted stepped in and 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:18.120 say I'm ready to play now, and I'm cheaper than him. 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.279 So it's these battles inside of these battles, and some 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:26.000 guys I quite ain't aged until my position yet and 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:27.760 I just need a little bit more time. Thank God 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.279 for the practice squad. All right, Then you got guys 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:31.880 that I'm ready to bubble now. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.200 I just ain't add my chance. 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.440 And some guys gonna get chances by things that you 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:41.520 can't You can't quantify. An injury here, opening here, a 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.360 trade here, and now somebody steps up. That's the one 0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.240 thing about football and our appro sports. They say be 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.200 ready always, so you don't have. 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:49.839 To get ready. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.640 But when your number is called, you need to say 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.440 I'm prison for class like you need. You will never 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.800 get that chance again. Like, for example, a guy like 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:03.320 Antonio Pierce we come in as rookies, he's undrafted. Nobody's 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:07.160 sliding him to play. Within the next if ever, within 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.279 two years, he's our store and linebacker. Al Right, within 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.480 two more years, three more years, he's winning the super 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:16.560 Bowl at the Giants. This how fast this career can 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.120 take off or not take off? 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.760 So how often have you seen a guy maybe midway 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.200 through camp the struggle light hasn't come on, but then 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.320 they do, and then it's off to the race after that. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.320 You see that all the time. 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.960 You usually see it in free agents, because free agents 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:30.880 move to another team. 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:31.720 They gotta learn to see that. 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.599 They gotta learn the locker room, they gotta learn the playoffs, 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.080 they got learn to playbook. It takes them a second 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:37.640 to like, all right, all right, all right, here go 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:38.120 to best me. 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.080 All right. So I've seen guys come out there the 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:41.080 first two days. 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:44.359 Like ugh, who is that he won't be on the team, 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:48.600 to oh my god, he's he's finna hurt somebody, all right, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.200 So it clicks for some guy, And especially if it's 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:55.480 a new defense like we have it, it's gonna take 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.560 some guys a couple of days to figure out how 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:59.640 he wants me to play. This where he wants me 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.040 to play is because my last coach wanted me to 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.799 take on this with my inside shoulder. Not this coach. 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.040 He wants me to beat that block. Right, So it's 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.680 what am I being asked to do? How fast can 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.960 I acclimate to my teammates and how fast can I 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:14.120 acclimate to the playbook? 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.440 Mean a lot of joint practices this year. I love it. 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.000 And you were saying that helped you more than anything, 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:20.080 like I'm sorry. 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.880 Like in the preseason game, it's the bliss play calling 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.920 you will ever see Cover three, verses four verticals, cover two. 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.600 It's just so all right, we out here off of 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:33.559 physical prowess. When we get into the practices with another team, 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.200 these are mental battles against the offensive coordinator, the demonsive coordinator. 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.720 They are sparring, Like while me and the wire receivers aspiring, 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.920 they are mentally sparring, and that brings out the best 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.520 in everybody. And like I can't I can't catch on 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.160 to the other team's wide receiver to some of the 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.760 quirks that he has. Like if I'm practicing with Terry 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.720 every day, I know Terry habits. Well, I guess what 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.600 I don't know Tyreek Hill's habits, Like I got a 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:02.200 couple of days to figure this out. So it brings 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.480 out the best thing you especially when you're talking about competing, 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.520 especially when you're talking about challenging. But it actually brings 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:09.880 out more for me for the coaching side of it. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:11.640 Now I can really get on the way length of 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.280 my coach and how he wants me to do stuff 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.400 and when he wants me to do it. 0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.080 Plus, isn't there something mental about yoways? 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.040 Your guy say, I'm tired of taking on my teammates, 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.040 Like does the something go off when it's an opponent? 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.200 That what I would say, Like if I'm checking Terry 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.320 or there practice, I know when he's finna run a 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.360 dig route. I just seen him drop that inside hand 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.840 fifty five million times, right, So now he getting to 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.120 the point where he's dropping it his inside hand to 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:37.360 run out routes against me because he knows I know 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.560 things about him. Well, the other guy is all even, 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.600 you gotta play within the defense, and you gotta play 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.240 with this sideline, and you gotta know who you checking. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.840 I deck up the thing personnail wise, who am I 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.400 up against? And I think that's why coaches love these 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:56.480 practices with other teams because mentally you're gonna get tested. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.440 Physically they know what you got. Mentally, you will be tested. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.080 Let's talk about some of the guys on Let's start 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.880 with the offense that you're really looking forward to watching. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.160 It can be Jaydon Daniels, it could be some of 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.720 the So who do you really want to hone in on? 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:11.160 I you know what, I'm not gonna get one of 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.199 these guys that, ooh, we got these new toys for Christmas. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.280 I'm not gonna play with my right I'm not gonna 0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.360 play with my g I Joe no more. I'm not 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:21.120 gonna play with this wrestling man that don't even movies. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.960 I'm gonna appreciate my old toys. I think it's gonna 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.880 be a big year for b Rob. Nobody's talking about 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.760 b Rob, I know, because we got Ecklert, but they 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.400 gonna be a team. And I think as much as 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.640 Eckler's say, you know what, I'm gonna really benefit from 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.360 not having to tote the load, I think b Rob 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.559 is gonna benefit from that too. I think b Rob 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:44.600 is gonna be one of those guys that really say, 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.400 you know what, I want to cement myself is one 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.280 of the top ten backs in this league because I 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.520 have that type of ability. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.000 I see b Rob doing it. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.679 I can see I can see being senent senate, a 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.600 guy just coming out of nowhere. 0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.040 You know how cool he did well. People didn't expect 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.880 too much from Kud to Utah status. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.920 We just signed an h back out of Utah Stadium 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.760 before you know what COOLi was a household name being sent. 0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.560 It has that ability to be that I don't do 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:17.000 nothing great, but I do everything good type of offensive player. 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:19.280 And don't forget about Terry. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.280 I've been watching Terry went up and down this field 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.520 by himself for weeks. Haven't left here, ain't went nowhere. 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:29.240 I think he's out to prove. And I'm so happy 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.559 for him because the only thing that a lot of 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:33.880 these wide receivers has had over him for his first 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.280 four or five years in his career is they've. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.320 Had a quarter good quarterback. Right. 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.720 I'm so happy his relationship with his new quarterback is 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:42.520 about to start. 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.400 It just and that's why I didn't play wide receiver jicks. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:47.439 You don't want to rely on anybody else. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.079 It's too dependable. Like I got to depend on my 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:52.600 quarterback wanted to throw me the ball. Two to throw 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.720 it to me in a place where I could catch it. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.600 Then I need my offensive line to block for him 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.480 to give him the chance to throw me the ball. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.160 And then I have to also complete the catch. Just 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:07.560 the five levels of dependability. It's a corner. I'm depending 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:13.199 on one my rush, ye, two me. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.200 There me like there go. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.320 Then I'm the prisoner to my rush. But then it's 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.480 all on me and they go to things that I like. 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:27.080 But I think those guys can make some plays on 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.400 the offense and on defense. 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.800 Man Frankie Louver, I just can't. I can't. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.400 It's just I think we all got a man crush 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.080 on them. I think all us one of our last 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.640 names to be Louver. It's just such a good last name. 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.560 But I think he's gonna be one of those guys 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.360 jump out and I, like I said, I like to 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:43.719 play with my old toys. 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.280 James Davis. I called this to come back kids, Jam 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:49.880 and Davis. This is the year he needs to do it. 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.320 No, it's two of them, Okay, comeback kids? Are they 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.000 gonna come back? Like Milly Bit did show y'all show 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:57.559 y'all that they was not lip singing. 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:05.560 It wasn't great. Jamin Davis, Emanuel. 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.520 Forbes, you guy, all right, I think this, this, this, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.520 this with defense fits them to the t. And finally 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.520 we get to see Jamin in a pass rush mode. 0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.040 I think that's gonna send him the double digit sacks 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.360 we're seeing. We're gonna see Forbes for the first time 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.640 be coached well, like everybody like see wy he's stunk. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:25.280 No, he didn't. 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:28.320 Bad parents make bad kids, all right, he wasn't coached 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:32.480 well last year. Watch what happens in this defense. So 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:34.360 those two guys on defense. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.800 And in general where it's offense defense and not specific 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:39.480 to annual force. But you see this a lot right 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:43.280 where it takes Sometimes it just takes a while. 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:48.160 Everybody's not. Everybody's not Michael Wave ready when they get today. 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.360 Now I ever want to see j strack. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.880 Everybody don't push the Okay, I'm here, I'm ready to go. 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:56.439 But but people so used to seeing that that they like, oh, 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:58.880 I can't Oh he went first round. I can't believe 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:01.840 it was a time when I played well first rounders 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.000 road the bitch do they understand that where they would 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:06.960 draft a quarterback, and I started him. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:07.880 For two three years. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.400 Like it's a it's a league of development, and if 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:15.080 my coach don't give me a head start in development, 0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.560 my development will be slow. I'm a prisoner to my 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.840 head coach and my position coach. That's all I'll be saying. 0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.040 When guys don't start off, don't be shocked that they 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:26.000 didn't start off, as everybody. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:27.600 Can't be Fred smooth and be a day one starter. 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:30.840 They can't. They can't be ready. They can't do it now. 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.200 Sometimes a splash play, Yeah, a highlight. We'll kind of 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.840 saving up because you hear this whole time. A guy 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.240 will flash right where maybe he's not consistent, but then 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:39.880 he'll do something. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:44.040 You're like, man, that's untapped his right there. Yeah, what 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:44.559 he just did? 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.240 He on their field, But he just messed up three 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.880 players in a row. And that this is what they 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:54.120 call upside. When they say a player has upside. He's 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.920 not there yet, but he has upside. That means he's flashed. 0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:00.760 That mean he's got around the tackle couple of times 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:03.200 and got a sack when he couldn't get around attackle 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.760 he jumped up and knocked the ball down. Oh he's 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:07.840 Johnny on the spot, somebody else tipped the ball, he 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:08.280 caught it. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.120 Like this guy. 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:12.839 Seems to find the ball, but he ain't there yet. 0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:15.240 And there go to thing about it. It takes a 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.240 good coaching eyes. And that's what I want to ask 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:20.520 coach Quinn later, like how do you decipher when a 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.240 guy is there and when he's not there yet, and 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:24.880 when do you take the chance to say he might 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:26.920 ain't got everything going, but I want to put him 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:29.320 in and put him in the fire right now. We're 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.520 gonna have a couple guys do that. We're gonna have 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.360 a couple of guys started off slow. We have a 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.520 couple of guys start off fast and might not make 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:38.960 this team. And the guy that just constantly got better 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.440 day in and day out, he was solidified spot. Because 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.800 this is what I was always told by coach I'm 0:14:45.800 --> 0:14:49.960 gonna judge a'll fairly, but he go to truth, guys, 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.320 I'm only going to keep the guys that keep me hired. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.040 I was like, that's the fairest thing I ever heard 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.080 in my life. That's the realiest coach thing I've ever 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.920 heard in my life. Because guess what players get coaches fired. 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:05.920 Coaches get players fired. 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.920 Why I was always asking coach, I ain't put what 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:12.240 wasn't ain't in? He don't trust him, He don't trust. 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.800 Him to keep him hired. Like I'm trying to win 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:15.720 football game, I'm trying. 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.560 Not only am I trying to win football games, I'm 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.920 trying to feed my kids. Yeah, all right, So if 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.560 I'm a coach, I'm only gonna put players in. Did 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.160 I trust to keep me hired? 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.280 Oh, that's a tough task. That's a tough task. 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:29.040 Before we get to the head coach. Can't wait to 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.360 talk to Dan Quinn coming up here in just a 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:34.480 few minutes. ESPN re released a list the top one 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.640 hundred athletes since two thousand and There were some football 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:41.960 players on there. Tom Brady was five, Patrick Mahomes was eighteen, 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.960 Aaron Donald was twenty eight, Manny twenty six, Randy Moss 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:47.480 twenty seven. A lot of great athletes on this list. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:49.400 Michael Phelps number one overalls. 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:54.720 Michaeuld have fished Phelps, all right, come on, dmb native, Yeah, 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.480 all right, I gotta ask you this, Okay, No bias 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:02.760 swimming ain't the most part. It's not correct. Even though 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:09.280 he dominated with guys on this list, like Tom Tiger, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:14.880 mm hmm, Lebron step Serena. 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:21.480 I know it's the fish Phelps is the fish Phelps. 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:24.000 At the Olympic level and the work it takes to 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.400 be a top end and to do it for as 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:28.520 many times as he's done it. 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:33.720 But I have to, you know, I got I'd like 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.880 to judge at the least when not only they are 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:43.840 an apex predator, but when it's another apex predator with them. 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.840 With Tiger, you know we're gonna be right beside him, 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.400 right with Lebron steph constantly throwing. 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:57.280 In his hip, who with Phelps. It's just that's the thing. 0:16:57.360 --> 0:16:59.920 Don't you think it's just because we don't follow Olympics, 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:03.760 Like if we were really into swimming, wouldn't we probably say, oh, 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.040 you gotta watch out for this guy. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:06.720 This guy's always right there. 0:17:06.880 --> 0:17:09.080 I just don't feel like The Dark Knight is a 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:10.800 great movie with doubt the joker. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:12.200 I mean, that's true. 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.080 I think it has to be a hero in a villain. 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.760 That's how Larry Bird and Massa Johnson say. The NBA 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.679 like the w NBA were watching it right now with 0:17:22.840 --> 0:17:26.440 Caitlin like we're watching it. Somebody has to be the villain. 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:29.600 Somebody has to be. But with Mike Phelps, it was 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.560 just him. 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.840 Maybe he's that much better than everybody else. May Deck's 0:17:34.840 --> 0:17:37.240 been doing the same thing. But I'm saying, but maybe, 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:38.560 But to put. 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:42.440 Him the best in the two thousands after leader all time? 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.520 When I when I can say, where's your adversary? Like 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:47.520 where's your word road block? 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:48.199 Like? 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.560 Was you just that better than everybody? Look at Serena? 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.960 Who is her number one competition? First of all, he 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.760 started off her sister, it was she just took off. 0:17:56.920 --> 0:18:00.359 But also it was never it was so many people 0:18:00.720 --> 0:18:03.280 right and she but she had to beat them to 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:08.200
