13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:35,960

Speaker 4: A what a preference? Oh my gosh, but it's kind.

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: Of square to where I have visions of you in college,

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: kind of like those old school parties, and you, oh boy,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: you change your ways and that's why you're the great

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: upstanding guy that we all know today.

19
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: I definitely changed my ways.

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 4: I retired from drinking at age twenty four, you know,

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: and everything else that I might have been doing at

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,279
Speaker 4: that point in history, because I had achieved everything there

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 4: was to achieve in that world endow.

24
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: So now I don't do that stuff.

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 4: Although caffeine is still the ultimate performance enhancing drug for me.

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 5: Twenty four, that's when you stopped drinking.

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty wow, good for you. I was about the same.

28
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: I definitely did not drink in high school.

29
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 3: So my dad would have kicked my you know what,

30
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: Like he was one of our teachers and coaches. He

31
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 3: knew everything, so I did. Harris the senior would have

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: found me. So when I got to a little bit

33
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: of Freeman College, I was like okay, and then I

34
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: was like, I don't know, I was done.

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 5: I was done a year.

36
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 4: I definitely did drink in high school. I definitely did

37
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 4: drink in college and post college until I was twenty four.

38
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: Definitely did do that, Yes, very much.

39
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: And never during season. Never during season.

40
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: It was always like spring weekend or you know, one

41
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: February when it was snowing outside. You couldn't do anything,

42
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 3: you couldn't go outside. You're like, all right, but that

43
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: was it. But no, I mean I went to Brown

44
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: and it's like, no, I didn't. Nobody has game if

45
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: they went to Brown. Said that that's kind of true.

46
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: All you have to do is walk to a young

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: lady off campus and say I go to an IVY league.

48
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 5: Right, there.

49
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 2: How about that? How about the the Providence College girls. Yeah,

50
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 2: they didn't like that, but the U r I girls,

51
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: they didn't. I'll tell you what though.

52
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 3: I got a chance to watch campus the other day,

53
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 3: and it is it was. I was like, I took

54
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 3: it for granted, but it was funny because Rhode Island

55
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: School design so like back in the nineties, Rhad Island

56
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 3: School design is like right down the street. It's like

57
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: it's you kind of can't tell where Brown ends and

58
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: Risney begins.

59
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: And so we as.

60
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: Football players, of course, always made fun of the arts

61
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: dark kids, the arts school kids, and just.

62
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 5: Who Risney kids.

63
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 3: Oh he's a weirdo, he's a Risney kid, and oh

64
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: my god, Risdey kids.

65
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: Then I ended up marrying my wife who went to

66
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: Savannah College of Art and Design. It's the same thing

67
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: except to the south right, exactly same exact thing.

68
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 3: And I was like, Okay, maybe these kids at Risney

69
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: were probably pretty cool, and I just never gave him

70
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: the time of day.

71
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 2: But it's such a beautiful campus.

72
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 3: So I was glad we were able to go there

73
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: and and finally finally gonna win over the Patriots Providence.

74
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: It was cool now speaking of that, I mean that

75
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: dominant performance. We talked about it, you know, a couple

76
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: of days ago. There wasn't a point I want to

77
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: get y'all's take on this. I should know that anything

78
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: can happen in the NFL. But for some reason, after

79
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: halftime and the Texans were only up by a touchdown,

80
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: but I felt like the Texans were gonna win.

81
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: I just didn't feel threatened at all.

82
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: Well, the good team should be able to make you

83
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: feel that way and back it up right, And maybe

84
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: they're coming around to the point where they're gonna If

85
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: they get into a situation like that, a team comes

86
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: back on them, you're gonna have that confidence, and for

87
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 4: a good reason, because they're gonna get you the payoff.

88
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: They're gonna close out the deal somehow. And they did

89
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 4: opening possession for the Patriots third quarter. They get the

90
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 4: ball first, you have the terrific Daniel Hunter's stripsack, you

91
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 4: have the recovery by Mario we'll get to him in

92
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: a moment here, and you have the instant touchdown satisfaction

93
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 4: Stroud to digs. You're up to scores and you really

94
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: never look back. You never go back within one score

95
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: of the day, which was awesome. It was great to

96
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: see them stretch their legs, get a twenty point win,

97
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 4: get ready for Green Bay.

98
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

99
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: I think for me it was the third quarter. I

100
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 3: mean the second quarter. They they had opportunities. You know,

101
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: they had the Bullock interception and then I think that

102
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: turned into the missfield goal. Then Joe Mixon has the

103
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: fifty nine yard run that turned into the interception in

104
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 3: the end zone. So like, man, if you could put

105
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: anywhere from seven to fourteen points up right there, I mean,

106
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 3: you're putting a fifty burger up on them, and maybe

107
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 3: you don't score late. I don't know, but point being

108
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 3: indye to your point. When it was fourteen seven, that's

109
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: when I started thinking. Man, And to Miko mentioned in

110
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: the locker room. He mentioned it to me in the

111
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 3: locker room. He said, look, there were some there were

112
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 3: some bad words said, and people were upset as they

113
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: should have been. And then I talked to Denil for

114
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: just a little bit and he was so matter of fact.

115
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: I said, I said, man, I was the heck of

116
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: a play man. He's like, yeah, coach Miko was in

117
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: a halftime and said somebody had made a play. So

118
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: I just went out and made a play. I was like,

119
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: this very matter of fact. There was no just bs

120
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: and around. It is one made a play and he

121
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: did and that was that was a huge play. And

122
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: that's when we got the fumble there.

123
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: I knew at a minimum of seventeen seven.

124
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 3: But the fact that we scored a touchdown there, because

125
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 3: we've seen that throughout the years. Oh oh man, great turnover,

126
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: got the ball right where we wanted and can't capitalize,

127
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: Gotta kick a field goal. But this one was, Hey,

128
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: Diggs goes and gets a touchdown. It's twenty one to seven.

129
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 5: Okay.

130
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: That's when I was with you nd. I was like, okay,

131
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: this one is going to be a win.

132
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of how does it play out

133
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 3: over the next you know, thirty some minutes and they

134
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: end up getting a.

135
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 5: Three touchdown win.

136
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: Still, some people are not satisfied with that, but I

137
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: don't know. Three touchdown wins in a place you've never

138
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 3: won before, it seemed to satisfy me.

139
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 5: In the NFL, I'll take it.

140
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Not that we care about the feelings of the New

141
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: England fan base, but since we're a team of fan

142
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: base that has their quarterback that for a decade plus,

143
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, is what we're expecting. What did y'all see

144
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: out of Drake May? I saw some good, some bad.

145
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of players where I was like, Oh,

146
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 1: that's why he was a number three pig. Then I

147
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: saw a couple of player where I said, oh, yeah,

148
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. Do y'all feel like they found their man?

149
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: Look, I thought the unpredictability of May was a factor

150
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 4: going in. You don't know what to expect, and I

151
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 4: think I haven't talked to Stingley about this, but I

152
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 4: would think that he might have not thought that that

153
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: was going to happen, or thought that wasn't going to happen.

154
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: That long bomb at the end of the half. Can

155
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: he really do that? He can?

156
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: He can, and I'll be ready for it next time,

157
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: because I don't think there's any way he makes a

158
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 4: mistake like that against Jordan Love.

159
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: You know, Jordan Love has the arm to get it there.

160
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 4: Jordan Love's going to look for the deep ball and

161
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 4: not that May was thoroughly incapable of it.

162
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: You know, he's got a strong arm.

163
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: But I don't know if Stingley thought that that was

164
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 4: in his golf bag, as Johnny would say, for that

165
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 4: particular day. But it was and that made it all right,

166
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: a one score game, and if they could have responded

167
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: the Patriots the way a lot of good teams could have,

168
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 4: it could have been a dicey situation.

169
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: But it wasn't. So after the.

170
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 3: Game, when I was coming out of the workroom in

171
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: the there's a hallway, there's a corridor that separates the

172
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 3: locker room and kind of where the interview room and

173
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 3: all that. So I was sitting there waiting for Demiko

174
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: to get at his press conference, because then Greg Bailey

175
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: for ABC thirteen gets him, and then I get an

176
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 3: interviewed with Dimiko. So I'm sitting there and there's a

177
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: bunch of people that go on his corridor. There are

178
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: some of the coaches, a bunch of people, and so

179
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: I hear these two people as they're going by, I

180
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 3: hear them say, yeah, we scored twenty one. That's the

181
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: most points we scored all year. So I think there

182
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: was this definite moral victory sort of feel with what

183
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: they had with Drake, and for good reason, he made

184
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 3: good throws. I mean a touchdown throw to Pop Douglas

185
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: across the middle was right on the money. He beat

186
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: the Blitz, so he showed him some good things there.

187
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 3: They're gonna be They're gonna be much better as they

188
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: go through, as they put that thing around him. I

189
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 3: mean I felt bad for him. That offensive line. I mean,

190
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan played for him and he still got sacked

191
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 3: four times. Michael True different Michael Jordan. But yeah, but

192
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: they'll get some They'll get some offensive lineman. Backed they'll

193
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: draft a few offensive linemen. They got to get a receiver, like,

194
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: they gotta get a number one wide Receips. Douglas is

195
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: a great too, but they needed a wide receiver. Once

196
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: they do that, it could be pretty salty. I mean,

197
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: they could end up not getting back to what they were.

198
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: But I think he's gonna definitely be a piece they

199
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: build with for sure. All right, Well, so can we

200
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: get to hot takes here?

201
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: Presented by Campbell's Chunky Soup soup that eats like a meal.

202
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: Be sure to pick up the new National style hot

203
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: Chicken Soup at Kroger today. All Right, here's my hot take.

204
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: Texans will be just fine on the d line despite

205
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 4: Mario Edwards going out with the four game suspension because

206
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: de Niko Autrey comes back, Kurt heinis at some point

207
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: is going to play, hopefully sooner rather than later. What

208
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 4: do you guys think, and let's get into these thoughts

209
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 4: on no Mario Edwards. I don't know about the reasons

210
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: leading up to it, but it doesn't matter. You're not

211
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 4: gonna have them for theost four weeks.

212
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 1: You never want to lose an impact player, but this

213
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: is the NFL, and it happens, whether it's due to

214
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: injury suspension. The reason I agree with you and I

215
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: feel like the Texans will be fine is not a

216
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: shot against Mario Edward's but it's the depth. You know,

217
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: with Denico Autry coming back. Before we learned about the suspension,

218
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: my thought was, ooh man, a good player is gonna

219
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: lose reps. And one of my favorite players, Khalil Davis,

220
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: I wondered if he was gonna lose reps. But now

221
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: with this suspension and with Mario Edward's not gonna be

222
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: not being available with Deniko Audrey, I still believe guys

223
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: like Khalil Davis will get a chance to keep their

224
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: play count up.

225
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: Johnny, who do you think starts if Audrey is one

226
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 4: hundred percent ready to go, and we don't know that

227
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 4: right because he's not in football shape necessarily.

228
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: Maybe he is, maybe he does start.

229
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 4: But let's say Audrey is good to go, he's good

230
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 4: to play thirty forty snaps minimum. What do you think

231
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: about the starting spot right next to Is it settle?

232
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 5: Subtle?

233
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: Okay, it's gonna be good settle all right?

234
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: It And it could be it could be Khalil because

235
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: I think Khalil size wives with Fatokasi, one playing the

236
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 3: three technique, one playing the nose. However they're gonna do it.

237
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: I think that's that's maybe a better fit. My thought

238
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: all along with Deniko is like when you see Audrey

239
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,479
Speaker 3: walking the hallways, I don't I don't get like defensive

240
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 3: tackle vibes, Like he's a little he's like people say, well,

241
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 3: you know, do you know the time? Like I like when

242
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: he goes in there on third downs or passing.

243
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 2: Situation as a first down guy, But I don't know that.

244
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: I want to see him as a first down, three

245
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: down defensive tackle. I would love to see Deniko in well.

246
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll tell you now, when they get to

247
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: their pass rush situations, if they do well against the run,

248
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 3: and they can get to third, nine, third and ten.

249
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Jordan loves go see some serious you know what, like

250
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 3: there's gonna be some like like the other day. I

251
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: don't know if you caught this indy. At some point

252
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: in the third quarter, I think it was they moved

253
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 3: edwards out wide to the left. He was rushing from

254
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 3: a five technique out to the left, and I remember

255
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: seeing it, and then Dre mentioned it and I looked

256
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: up and I was like, oh, that's why, because he

257
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: had Danil and Will rushing from the same side and

258
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: they were running an et from the same side. And

259
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 3: I thought, now when Audrey comes back, now you could

260
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 3: use Austrey and Will together and let Danil be on

261
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: the other side, or put Autry out there and let

262
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: danieland Will continue to do their thing. There are just

263
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: a lot of different things you can do with Audrey

264
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: because he can line up inside on passing downs. I

265
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: just don't know how comfortable I feel about doing it

266
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: full time on rundowns. I think with Settle Fatakasi, Settle

267
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 3: Fatakasi and Khalil Heinich comes back, that might be your

268
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: four man rotation. And then on the out on the

269
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 3: outside you're gonna have Daniland Will, You've got Dylan and Derek,

270
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 3: and then Deniko kind of he can bounce, you know,

271
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 3: inside outside, So that ends up being your knife guy.

272
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 5: I think.

273
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 2: I think that's how they're gonna end up going.

274
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: Now.

275
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: When they acquired Edwards in the offseason, how many people

276
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 4: thought you might be in a situation where, oh my gosh,

277
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: what are they gonna do with that Mario Edwards? But

278
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 4: he's turned into that kind of player for this team

279
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 4: in year nine. I mean, he's been around the block

280
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 4: of time or two in this league. He'll be back

281
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: in time to play against the Dallas Cowboys, his dad's team.

282
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like.

283
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: That well, Indy and I talked to about this a

284
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 3: lot in the preseason games because there was so much

285
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: noise about, well, the interior defensive line, interior defensive line,

286
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 3: and we talked about it like during during practice and

287
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: training camp, like are y'all watching because that defensive line

288
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 3: is doing some good things. And then we saw it.

289
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: I remember that game in Pittsburgh. You pointed this out

290
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: on the broadcast where they've tried to run trap and

291
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: fought of Cossi and Edwards just just crushed it and

292
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: it was like, that's the play that's supposed to go

293
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: against this defense, and you pointed it out.

294
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: I was like, man, that play went nowhere.

295
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: So I think they've I think they that defensive line,

296
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 3: interior defensive line.

297
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: As we started to see them.

298
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: Play, we realized, Okay, these guys are better than people

299
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 3: wanted to wanted to believe. And I think that's really

300
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 3: what's kind of changed is that we've kind of raised

301
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 3: our expectations as we've watched them continue to play well.

302
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: That we will miss Mario Edwards for a little bit.

303
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: And when you think about what you just mentioned, you

304
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: have to give credit to ownership, general manager, the general

305
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: manager for building this team. Is not just about the

306
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 1: dig signing the Daniel Hunter. Those are the ones that

307
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,359
Speaker 1: are gonna be the headlines. But when they signed Fidokasi,

308
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: Mario Edwards and they brought back Khalil Davis. I remember,

309
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: you know, before we did the broadcast in Pittsburgh, just

310
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: studying the roster and I'm like, man, these are some

311
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: good signings. It's not just about the headline grabbers. So

312
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: this is an actual team. That's why, whether it's the

313
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver group, when you lose Nico Collins and you

314
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, that's a huge loss. He

315
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: was on pace to have a historic season. But there's

316
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,199
Speaker 1: not gonna be any drop off because of the death.

317
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: Now with the D line, you lose a very good player,

318
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: you don't feel like there's gonna be much of a

319
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: drop because of the depth.

320
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 5: Like this is a true team that is deep.

321
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: We talked about this with Demiko yesterday and Nick will

322
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: be on the show tomorrow. You'll hear about that from him,

323
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 4: about how how deep the team is and how the

324
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: team changes. And you know, I love musical analogies. It's

325
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: like you have different soloists and lead singers and all right,

326
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 4: we're gonna miss that saxophone that Nico Collins plays so sweet.

327
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: But let's bring in the other horn section, members of

328
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: Mixing and Pierce and hear what they offer, and man,

329
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: it's a different sound, but it's really good because this

330
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: is on the ground and they're gonna explode for nearly

331
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 4: two hundred yards rock and roll.

332
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: So you have.

333
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 4: Different elements of the team contributing. That's on the offensive side,

334
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: on the defensive side. We'll see exactly what it's going

335
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: to look like on Sunday. But you already operated one

336
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: game with that last a. We'll hear more about him

337
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 4: as time goes on. You're going to operate without Edwards,

338
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 4: you get Autrey back. All of it kind of fits together,

339
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 4: it flows. It's this rolling thing, the roster, and you're

340
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 4: only in week seven. Kind of long way to go. Man,

341
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: who knows what this is all going to look like

342
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 4: when you face the Chiefs and the Ravens, those tough

343
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:43,359
Speaker 4: teams in December.

344
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: See, that's why Mark was a player in college. He

345
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: was in a band.

346
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 6: He was in bands.

347
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 2: Here we go. Bands make you a player. I can't

348
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: play an instrument. Saved my life. You guys had sports.

349
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: I did have the guitar. It does work. The guitar

350
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: might as well be cupids. Ero man I wrote to

351
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: talk about you. Do you want to hear it?

352
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: What rock and roll band survived the loss of their

353
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: lead singer? Because I love that analogy, but I need.

354
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 4: A Oh there have been many, all right, So Van

355
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: Halen for one, because Dave lee Roth leaves or they

356
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: kick him out, they did whatever, and they brought in

357
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 4: Sammy Hagar and enjoyed enormous success.

358
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: Now you could say they're not as good.

359
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: They're not the same. They're not the same. But the

360
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 4: record sales tell the story. Okay, they've they sold a

361
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 4: ton of albums with Sammy Hager, you know, and and

362
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: that's really one. You're right, it's tough to lose a

363
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 4: front man like that.

364
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 5: But what I wasn't saying you were wrong. I was

365
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 5: just curious.

366
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 4: But the genius of the band is Thatdy van Halen.

367
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 4: You can you can make up for it. And there

368
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 4: are others as well. Ok you have numerous acts touring

369
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 4: now without Look, Chicago tours, journey tours with with Yeah

370
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: are now panta Uh. You have Chicago touring without Peter

371
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 4: Setera for years now. They have the other singers, that's

372
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: the earlier songs, but Setia is really the main lead

373
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 4: singer of Chicago as we know them. And you have

374
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: who Foreigner tours without Lou Graham, so you could still

375
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 4: perform the old songs. In fact, those guys they have

376
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 4: replaced it and probably sing better than the you know,

377
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: Steve Perry probably could not sing as well as Paneda

378
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 4: does now as far as like night in, night Out,

379
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: being able to handle that workload.

380
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: They sound awesome with Paneda So who's the.

381
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: Most important piece, Like for a football team, as much

382
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: as I hate to say, it's the quarterback. For a

383
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: rock band, is the guitarist.

384
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 4: Both think the singer is hugely important, even though even

385
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,119
Speaker 4: if they don't write the songs. The human voice branding

386
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 4: is so essential to a musical artist. That is what

387
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: people recognize. You know, you could be the greatest guitarist

388
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 4: in the world. It doesn't matter as much as the

389
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 4: lead vocals. Even Jimmy Hendrix, who's considered the greatest guitarist

390
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 4: in rock history. What I always point out to people,

391
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 4: he's got a great voice. Man, He's got a tremendous

392
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: unique voice. All along the Watch Toower Purple, all all

393
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 4: the songs he sings. Don't underestimate that his voice is

394
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 4: what carries the day for a lot of these album sales.

395
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 4: As great as guitarist as he is, Can I.

396
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 5: Give you my hot take? That's probably gonna have me

397
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: hated by you, Okay, go ahead, Jimmy Hendricks. I'm all

398
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 5: about learning about other genres. So I downloaded all his songs.

399
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 2: I don't like him. Wasn't feeling it, Okay, it's another era,

400
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: It's but I have an.

401
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 5: Open mind when I listen to these things.

402
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: I listened to Hendricks when I'm walking my dog. I

403
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 4: want it live, i want brawl like. I love that sound.

404
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna have to try it again because

405
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: I have a very open I've discovered country musicians and

406
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I like, oh okay, I like it

407
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 1: because I have an open mind. So you know why

408
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: I keep hearing about Jimmy Hendrix. Let me give the

409
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:46,120
Speaker 1: brother a chance. After about thirty minutes into my workout,

410
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: I had to go back to my give boys.

411
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 5: I couldn't do it.

412
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 4: It's another era. It's another genre, no question about it.

413
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: I will speaking of eras.

414
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: The Houston Texans era of players is great right now,

415
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 1: including with the defensive backs. And y'all had a chance

416
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: to catch with Eric Murray.

417
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 4: Let's have a listen, the man with the best hands

418
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: on the team. Maybe maybe all right? That was a

419
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: heck of an interception. And what was going through your

420
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 4: head when you see that ball karm in the air.

421
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 7: Initially I was just trying to get off a block

422
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 7: as a diagnosed it as a screenplay and seeing the

423
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 7: ball go up, and I was like, I know this

424
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 7: guy he got a hold of me, He's probably gonna

425
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 7: dump me to the ground, but I got to get

426
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 7: the ball, so he.

427
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: Came down with it. Great catch.

428
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 3: Well, it was that kind of an emphasis of your

429
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: facing a rookie, Hey, let's go take the ball away.

430
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,479
Speaker 2: I know you guys haven't done it as much as

431
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 2: you did in the past. Was that a big focus

432
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: for you guys?

433
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean definitely in the past few weeks, we

434
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 7: haven't been able to get the ball as frequently as

435
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 7: we would like. So to be able to go out

436
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 7: there and get four in that manner definitely boost a

437
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 7: defense and boost the team overall.

438
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 4: What does it do for the defense when you see

439
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 4: Joe go for a long run like that, when you

440
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 4: see Damien go for a long run like that, explosive

441
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 4: running plays, not just the passing game, but on the ground,

442
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 4: What does that do for the.

443
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 7: D I mean, it just lifts the team up, especially

444
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 7: the defense. It just means you could take a little

445
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 7: extra and when you could just turn turn around and

446
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 7: hand the ball off to two good backs like that,

447
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 7: it's gonna be a long day for the opposing.

448
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe we buried the lead a little bit,

449
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 3: but first time we've beaten New England in New England?

450
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 3: Were you guys aware of that? Had that been talked

451
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: about throughout the week? And or de Beko gave everybody

452
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: at game bo I don't know if that means me

453
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 3: mark too, But were you guys aware of that?

454
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 2: Was that kind of talked about during the.

455
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 7: Week, not necessarily during the week, but I think the

456
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 7: night before it was definitely mentioned. It was something that

457
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 7: was kind of unknown to us players, but it was

458
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 7: mentioned the night before for sure.

459
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 4: What does it do when you face a rookie quarterback?

460
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 4: What does it do for your game plan? Because it's

461
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 4: kind of unpredictable. That throws me out at the end

462
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: of the half was a heck of a throw. You

463
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 4: might not have even thought, well, what we've never seen

464
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,200
Speaker 4: him do that, You don't have that on tape.

465
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 7: Necessarily, Just get him off the spot, try to move

466
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 7: him around, make him throw from the pocket.

467
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 5: And I mean he did good. He made some good throws.

468
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 7: So I mean you just kind of go from there

469
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 7: and just keep trying to play tough defens as you can.

470
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 2: Eric, how do you guys feel you're gelling as the defense?

471
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: I mean the offense obviously there's all kind of rythm

472
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 3: and timing and all that, but it feels like you

473
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: guys have been in a pretty good groove now for

474
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: a while. How's that kind of coming together for you, guys?

475
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 7: It's been pretty good. Communication has been pretty good. Everybody's playing,

476
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 7: you know, together, So starting to hit that point in

477
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 7: the season where you want to really take off and

478
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 7: completely and completely jail and go and play good football

479
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 7: going into the playoffs.

480
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 4: So and every position group has to deal with this injuries,

481
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 4: and you have injuries on the back end, So what

482
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 4: is that?

483
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: How does that affect you, guys?

484
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 4: Because everybody has to band together, bond together, and figure

485
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 4: out a way through it, and you've been able to

486
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 4: do it for the most part.

487
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 7: I think just what the group we got is pretty

488
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 7: tight knit, and it's probably the most tight knit group

489
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 7: we've had since I've been here. So, you know, even

490
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 7: if you aren't on the field, being just being able

491
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 7: to talk to those guys throughout the week and see

492
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 7: what they're thinking about.

493
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 5: Every little bit helps.

494
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: You've been around for a while, You've seen some things

495
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: not here but throughout the NFL. And then you got

496
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 3: the young buck kaln Bullock. What do you see from him?

497
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 3: He gets the interception from recovery, what do you see

498
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: from him thus far?

499
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: Just elite ball skills, elite tracking skills.

500
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 7: Long rangy guy, he's able to put it to good

501
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 7: use of being back there and being our center fielder.

502
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: So you mentioned being able to talk to the guys

503
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: who are hurt during the week and getting their thoughts.

504
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 4: I'm betting that doesn't happen everywhere, that these guys are

505
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 4: still kind of locked in on what is going on

506
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 4: with that game, despite the fact that they might not

507
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: know they're not playing.

508
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 7: I mean, it's definitely gear tour towards where you're at

509
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: in the season. Like we're still pretty early in our

510
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 7: season and we're five and one, so that definitely plays

511
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 7: the part into it.

512
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 3: Okay, so will tips the ball to you for the interception.

513
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 3: The pass rush helps you, guys get interceptions. You guys

514
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 3: getting interceptions probably forced the quarterback to throw Russian covers.

515
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: You're always supposed to work together, so do you guys.

516
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 3: And I know it's the back in the front, but

517
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 3: do you guys kind of communicate? Hey, you guys, you

518
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: guys get there a little bit quicker. We can go

519
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: make a play, or they're telling you, hey, you guys,

520
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 3: hang out coverage, we'll get some sacks.

521
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: You guys kind of.

522
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 3: Communicate in that way at all, or is it just

523
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: kind of work just naturally?

524
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 5: It works just naturally.

525
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 7: I mean football is a complementary sport, so everybody has

526
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 7: to do their job so somebody else can be successful.

527
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: That's you know, how you go about it.

528
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 4: You said, the record five and one great start ties

529
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: for the best start in the history of the franchise.

530
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: We get a long way to go, but that's got

531
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 4: to give you a little lyft, right. How do you

532
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 4: feel about that personally? Being on this team and you've

533
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 4: been here through some tough times, so when you see

534
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: this team go five and one, that's got to be

535
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,199
Speaker 4: special to you.

536
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 7: It's definitely just it's a great start, and we just

537
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 7: got to continue to lock in throughout the rest of

538
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 7: the season and take it week in and week out.

539
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 7: I mean that's really the only mentality you can have

540
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 7: because it's a long season.

541
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 2: Okay, going back home? Yeah, going back to going back home?

542
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 2: How's that? How's that feel?

543
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Walkie's not what ninety minutes or so, I mean,

544
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 3: get family, there, Kin, what's the kind of what's the

545
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,880
Speaker 3: game plan for Sunday Green Bay?

546
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 5: I have a bunch of family there.

547
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 7: Definitely feel good to just you know, be back in

548
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 7: Wisconsin in general, and I'm excited.

549
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: What's the last time you played up at Lambo?

550
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 5: It was a preseason We worked there for preson. Yeah,

551
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 5: that was the last time yep, Okay.

552
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that must have been pretty cool to go

553
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: back home that preseason because the pressure is kind of off, right,

554
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 4: you can enjoy those family visits, right, there's a little

555
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: bit more of a stressful situation. So not that you've

556
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 4: delved into the game plan that deeply yet, We're still

557
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 4: early in the week. But what do you think when

558
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 4: you look at Jordan Love and the kind of numbers

559
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 4: he's putting up early here, they look pretty good.

560
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 7: Yeah, they got a good team overall, got a good

561
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 7: young nucleus, and uh, you know, just like everybody in

562
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 7: the season, they're trying to hit their strides. So you know,

563
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 7: got a good opponent coming up.

564
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: Eric with two back to back road trips, do you.

565
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 5: Does that bother you?

566
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: Does it impact you at all?

567
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: You know, kind of going and get back a little

568
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: bit late last night and have to turn right back

569
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: around or flying out.

570
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: Does it impact you guys all.

571
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 7: No, it's just I mean, it's just a part of it.

572
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 7: I mean you just kind of got to deal with

573
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 7: it and uh find out what your routine is to

574
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 7: help your recovery as best you can.

575
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: You like being on the road.

576
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 4: We've talked to you before about how well you take

577
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,479
Speaker 4: care of your body and everything like that. It's harder

578
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,199
Speaker 4: on the road, right because you might not necessarily have everything.

579
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: They do a good job here of bringing the whole

580
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: building with them when they travel. But what about that

581
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: facet of it, Eric, when you're on the road and

582
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 4: trying to take care of your body, get yourself ready

583
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 4: to go.

584
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 7: I think it's just the plane that's like the longest thing.

585
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 7: Sitting on the plane for a long time, that's the

586
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 7: biggest thing. And make sure your legs are you know,

587
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 7: in the right spot for the next day, and make

588
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 7: sure you hydrate it.

589
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 2: So stand up a little bit, maybe get the get

590
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: the kinks out.

591
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: Ye move around. So that's the biggest name.

592
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: Is lad gonna boycott the fried cheese curds for the

593
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: group this week?

594
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 7: He might, Yeah.

595
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 6: He might.

596
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: It's just wait on a second. Is the cheese kurds

597
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 4: a thing? I mean, did you up with that? Ye?

598
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 8: Whatever you want?

599
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 4: So really healthy stuff. You've been to, no inflammation at all.

600
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: It'll sit on your stomach a little bit.

601
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, what Eric, I want to make sure asks is

602
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 2: the right way.

603
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: What did the road trip to Minnesota and the game

604
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: against the Vikings?

605
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: How has that helped you? Guys?

606
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: What are some of the lessons that maybe you learned

607
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: from that loss to Minnesota?

608
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 7: Just learning how to handle atmosphere. Believe it or not,

609
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 7: it was the first time I've ever played there. Yeah,

610
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 7: So just being able to handle atmosphere and understand what

611
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 7: you're walking into and how to handle those early game emotions.

612
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

613
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the noise.

614
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 4: We talked about the noise for the offense, yeah, and

615
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 4: for the defense. Crowds should be quiet when they're on offense.

616
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 4: Does the noise affect you more at home when our

617
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 4: crowd revs it up on third down? You got to

618
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 4: get the communications straight.

619
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 7: Uh, not really, It just it helps overall because we

620
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 7: got better communication just from the sideline and just overall here.

621
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 5: So you just feel more comfortable.

622
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 3: So if I say the words juicy Lucy, is that

623
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 3: something that's in your vernacular from having you spent.

624
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 7: Years after you yeap, yep, that was the first time

625
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 7: I had a juicy Lucy. I had went to a

626
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 7: bar and I'll never forget it, and I made it.

627
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 7: I started making it at any barbecue we would have. Really,

628
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 7: you know, they pretty easy to make. So yeah, it's yeah,

629
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 7: Burger would cheating him as it was pretty okay, sure.

630
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 2: You're making them.

631
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 5: Huh, you can make make that pretty easy.

632
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 3: Because we went to a place called Matts, which I

633
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 3: guess is pretty famous in Minneapolis. My nephew who lives there,

634
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: said yeah, that's his spot. So and we waited like

635
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 3: forty five minutes.

636
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: It was worth it.

637
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, definitely worth it. Just Lucy, where it's at all? Right?

638
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 4: So being from Wisconsin, Jannis, how big are we talking here?

639
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 2: Is it Aaron.

640
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 4: Rodgers, Brett Favre big? I know the sport isn't the

641
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 4: same level, but that's pretty special to win an NBA title?

642
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

643
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 2: So what are you thinking.

644
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 5: Here, Yannis? Uh? I if he stays.

645
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 7: In Milwaukee the whole time, yeah, I think definitely Super season.

646
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So just.

647
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 7: You know, from the conversations I have with my friends,

648
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 7: and just you know, the people in Milwaukee happening that

649
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 7: NBA Championship, it was it was special. And I went

650
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 7: to the finals, I went to a Game four in

651
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 7: Milwaukee and it was it was amazing.

652
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's professors loved Milwaukee too. I think that's

653
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 2: got to help.

654
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 3: Too, because this is something that it gets talked about.

655
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 3: You play for the Houston Texans, but you're not from Houston,

656
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 3: you know.

657
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 2: So you go where you're drafted, you go where.

658
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 3: You sign, all that kind of stuff, but it's not

659
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 3: where you're from for the most part. So for players

660
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: that have that connection to a particular city, when Yanna says, yeah, man,

661
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 3: I love Milwaukee, I want to be here, I mean

662
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 3: I think that matters, does it not?

663
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 7: No, I think just for in the past what our

664
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 7: market has been, you don't have like superstars you know

665
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 7: that that play in Milwaukee. So for him to be

666
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 7: there and for him to edify how great the city is,

667
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 7: I think, you know, that's why the city embraces them.

668
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: It's a great city. So give us it. Bucks outlook

669
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 2: this year Dame and Joanna together, thoughts.

670
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 5: Just got to stay healthy.

671
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: That's the biggest thing that's all of sports. That sounds familiar.

672
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 2: That sounds familiar.

673
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: Well, what are your observations about NBA players the way

674
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 4: they operate versus the way NFL players have to operate.

675
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 4: You have more games, it's not as punishing, but it's

676
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: pretty punishing playing all those games.

677
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 2: So what do you think?

678
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 7: Just I feel like their days are longer because they

679
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 7: actually work out on game days. We don't typically work

680
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 7: out on game You can kind of wake up, you know,

681
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 7: arrive and prepare. But they actually if they have a

682
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 7: seven o'clock game. I watched a video with Lebron I

683
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 7: think a couple days ago. It's a seventh pm tip off,

684
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 7: He's going to the stadium at like eight o'clock doing

685
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 7: short in the morning.

686
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, doing shoot around.

687
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 7: He having like three workouts before the game actually start.

688
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 5: And I'm like, that's kind of crazy.

689
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: Well, this is something to Mark hit me with the

690
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 2: other day.

691
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: Chip Kelly when he was in the NFL with the

692
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: Eagles back in the day in Oregon too, when they

693
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: would have a game, so he said, Oregon, when they

694
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 3: have a game on Saturday, they would have a walkthrough

695
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 3: on Thursday and a full practice the day before they

696
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: played the game.

697
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's crazy.

698
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,800

00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: So let's start with you. What was your night before

726
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: game day ritual?

727
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 5: Night before game day ritual?

728
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: After the meetings typically, whether it was Washington, Philly or

729
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: here in Houston, we had about an hour and a

730
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: half two hours after meetings to ourselves. So I would

731
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: just watch a movie that didn't have anything to do

732
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: with football, didn't have anything to do with sports, and

733
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: just to get my head away from football. So it

734
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: was always a movie that I rented in the hotel

735
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: in Spectrovision.

736
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 5: Not to be confused with Spank Division.

737
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna say movie I forgot the name, but

738
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: just remember that scene with Chris Farley made his soul recipes.

739
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: He was so funny. But just watch a movie and

740
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: real quick funny story. When I got back to Philadelphia,

741
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: I was considered a vet, so I.

742
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 5: Had my own room. But we had a player, a

743
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 5: very good player.

744
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: He was younger than I was and He was one

745
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: of those guys from the inner city of Southeast DC,

746
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: and he didn't like too many guys, and I was

747
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: one of the few guys he liked. So this is

748
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 1: the first year I had my own room. I'm all excited, like, oh,

749
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I get my own room. I opened the door. He's

750
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: laying in the bed and I'm like, what's going on.

751
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: Yeah. I talked to Andy Reid and he were roommates,

752
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 5: and he's like, aren't you excited?

753
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: And I was like, and I didn't want to get

754
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: on his bad side. I was like, oh, yeah, that's yeah.

755
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 5: I appreciate that.

756
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 8: There.

757
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: So we had to agree on the movie. So but

758
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: we had the same appreciation for movies, so we would

759
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: always watch.

760
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: A movie before, no problem agreeing to the movie with him.

761
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 5: That's good, no, no, no, yeah. I mean he was my boy.

762
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 1: But even if you're close to somebody, you still want

763
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: to have your own space at times.

764
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 4: He even had a roommate on the road in a

765
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 4: long time. Since I that you Mass and I worked

766
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 4: the budget. So we had some football trips where we

767
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 4: went three in a row. I said, listen, we're not

768
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 4: spending the extra money. Okay, get the cot Yeah, take it.

769
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 5: And like it.

770
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so so that that that was my ritual. I'm

771
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 1: curious to yours because y'all also like players have to

772
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: prepare and be mentally ready for the games.

773
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: Well, we go on the road, it's pretty to me,

774
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: it's pretty standard. We get there, you know, four thirty

775
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: four thirty five ish, I watch about an hour college football.

776
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 3: Then we meet down on lobby, we go somewhere to eat,

777
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 3: watch more college football, go to sports bar a lot

778
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 3: of times, and then we come back and I always

779
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: make sure that all right, I got everything laid out,

780
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: everything's good, and then I just get in bed no

781
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 3: matter what, and I just have the remote and I'm

782
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 3: just clicking back and forth with the games and I'm

783
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: just watching until eventually I just I just crash.

784
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: And that's that's how it is.

785
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 3: And I get up in the morning and then it's

786
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: time to get to the bus. At home, it's kind

787
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: of the same thing. I just get home, relax, land

788
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 3: a couch, watch game games and trying to avoid anything

789
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 3: that I'm supposed to be doing, taking a dog out

790
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: or anything.

791
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 5: I kind of pawned off with my son Jack.

792
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: He takes care of it, but I literally just watch

793
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 3: games until I fall asleep, and then in the morning.

794
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: I usually get to the stadium at about seven o'clock

795
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: in the morning. I get here early. And the funny

796
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 3: thing is it was what was our last preseason game.

797
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: We did rams rams, so we knew the starters weren't playing.

798
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 2: So I get here. You know it's a Newton game.

799
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 2: So I get here the same time.

800
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: I get her ound seven walking down the hallway and

801
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 3: I look and I'm like, it looks like Dalton Schultz.

802
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 3: I get closer, he gets closer. So we're kind of

803
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: walking like this, even we're not going to the same spot.

804
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, that is Dalton Schultz. He's here five hours

805
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: before the game.

806
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: At seven o'clock in a game he wasn't even gonna play.

807
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 5: Wow.

808
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 2: I was like, wow, I gotta talk to him about that. Yeah,

809
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: got to talk to about Treatman or something like that. Probably.

810
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: So I look, it's the same thing with me at

811
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 4: preseason games are interesting because we do the production meeting

812
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: and you're in on that d you're Johnny, and it's

813
00:33:58,760 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: really fascinating.

814
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a great thing.

815
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 4: It's too bad you can't record it, but if you're recorded,

816
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 4: it wouldn't be the same, They wouldn't be as open.

817
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: But the coach is very open with you, the players

818
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 4: are very open with you, and everybody does it. You

819
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 4: could tell, for instance, Monday Night Football, Joe Buck and

820
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 4: Troy Aikman, they had obviously talked to Aaron Rodgers and

821
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 4: gotten a lot of information out of him, and they

822
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 4: share that during the broadcast. They don't share everything, but

823
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 4: some stuff is meant to just set the scene, give

824
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 4: you a little context, and other stuff is meant to

825
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 4: be shared. I find that interesting. But yeah, I just

826
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 4: go to the room and we go out to eat,

827
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 4: and it's really a joy. It's a joy to be

828
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 4: on the road with the crew, having a little dinner,

829
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 4: watching some college games, chopping it up a bit about

830
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 4: the game, and then I try to shut it down early.

831
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 4: You know, I learned my second year in the league.

832
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 4: I learned do not stay out late. This is the

833
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 4: final exam. The next day, we were in Miami for

834
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 4: the opener in three and this is a huge game.

835
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 4: This is the opening game of the second year of

836
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 4: the history of the franchise.

837
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 2: We're on the road.

838
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 4: Andre Johnson makes his debut, but Hurricanes were playing the

839
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 4: University of Florida the Orange Bowl.

840
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,760
Speaker 2: So this was a huge game.

841
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 4: And Andre and Jabbar Gaffney watched the game in their room,

842
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 4: and you have a Hurricane and a Florida Gator watched

843
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: it together, their roommates at the time. So that was

844
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 4: kind of funny that story. I wasn't there with them,

845
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 4: but I heard about it later. I go to the

846
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 4: game and we got John Granado, who is our sideline

847
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 4: guy at the time, and a couple of other guys.

848
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 4: We're at the Orange I forget how we got seats,

849
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 4: but we're at the Arch Bowl. This is my first

850
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 4: time going to the Orange Bowl as a fan. I

851
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 4: had done those games obviously for the Hurricanes. Devin Hester

852
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 4: returns the opening kickoff for a touchdown. Kanes win the game,

853
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,840
Speaker 4: and then Granado has never been to South Beach, and

854
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, well, oh god, well, yes, yes, exactly, Well

855
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: we gotta go.

856
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, we're here, we gotta go. And

857
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: we ended up going to South Beach.

858
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,800
Speaker 4: And we rolled in at like twoint thirty in the morning,

859
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm sober. I don't drink, but you know,

860
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: we are having a great time, and I thought I'll

861
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 4: get enough sleep. But it just wasn't this. You know

862
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 4: your mind is foggy. You know we got the job done.

863
00:35:59,000 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: Did the game.

864
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 4: Chris Brown lakefield goal, Dominic Davis runs well. Andre Johnson

865
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:07,720
Speaker 4: plays well in his debut Beats. His childhood team grew

866
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: up not far from the stadium. Great story, But I learned.

867
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: I'm never going out late again the night before a game.

868
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 5: Never.

869
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do it because I need It's too important.

870
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 4: I only have twenty of these a year, plus hopefully playoffs.

871
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: I'm not going to blow it.

872
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 3: How you are still alive after going to South Beach

873
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,439
Speaker 3: with Grnado, him being the first time is beyond me.

874
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: Well, the fact that he doesn't drink that. You know

875
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 5: what's interesting.

876
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: I would get more anxious getting ready to broadcast the

877
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: game than when I played it. Yeah, because you just

878
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,879
Speaker 1: feel like so many things could go wrong when you're broadcasting. Yeah,

879
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 1: you can say, but with football, with the actual playing

880
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 1: in the game, you know, if you make a mistake,

881
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: you can make it up the next play. But I

882
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: will get more anxious calling sames.

883
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much the same for a player. Look, hotel

884
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: rooms are always tough to sleep in. I think especially

885
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 4: the first night you stay somewhere because and I read

886
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: about this, you have some sort of fun or flight

887
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 4: thing going on. You're in a strange place and you're

888
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 4: sleeping on alert sort of your your subconscious does not

889
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 4: completely relax. I don't know what the science is behind it.

890
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 4: But if you have a game where you haven't slept

891
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 4: well the night before, that's got to be tough. Although

892
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 4: you're a young man who cares, you'll probably get out

893
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 4: there do fine.

894
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: Well that and I can admit this now, and I'm

895
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: sure this does not go on today, of course, but

896
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the last meeting, a doctor will say, hey,

897
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: who has trouble sleeping?

898
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 5: And if you raise your hand, he'll give you something.

899
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: Don't know what it is, but we'll take it and

900
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: we'll just be passed out. Yeah, but I think it's all.

901
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: I think it was ambient, which is legal. But yeah,

902
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: you're supposed to have a prescription. But yeah, they gave

903
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:40,760
Speaker 1: us all kinds of stuff.

904
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we were talking about it.

905
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 4: They recreate the home environment so well.

906
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 2: On the road, trucks deliver all this gear.

907
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: You have the training tables and the food, and man,

908
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 4: we bring our chefs with us on the road, so

909
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 4: they infiltrate the hotel kitchen to make sure that the

910
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 4: food is prepared to the liking and the needs of

911
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 4: the players, just to create that environment so they can

912
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: perform at peak capacity.

913
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: No, the traveling is just like you mentioned, it's so comfortable.

914
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: You have chefs. The omelet guy we used to call them,

915
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,879
Speaker 1: He'll make whatever omelet you want, and everything's just very,

916
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: very comfortable. One of the good coaches that understand that

917
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: the work is done during the week. They're the ones

918
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 1: who don't get too intense that last night. You don't

919
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: want to be overly intense and then give players another

920
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,720
Speaker 1: wrinkle to think about, you know, another audible, another change

921
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: you might make. The ones that are like, hey, you

922
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: know what, we won this game on Wednesday. On Thursday,

923
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: let's just kind of review. They make it easier to sleep.

924
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 3: Was there ever a place nd where it was harder

925
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: to kind of I'll give you mind.

926
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 2: Mine is Denver.

927
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: I have the hardest time in Denver, sleeping in Denver.

928
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: Like whenever we're going to Denver, I'm like, oh man,

929
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: Like I remember Rick Smith telling me, like, you gotta

930
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 3: be hydrated, you gotta work on it, Like a week

931
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 3: even two weeks out before you go to Denver, And

932
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, you know, okay, I understand. I mean,

933
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 3: I drink water all the time. I'm fine. I have

934
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 3: not gone to Denver a number of times that we've

935
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 3: gone there since i've been on the sidelines. I have

936
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: not gone to Denver and slept. Even the Monday night

937
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 3: game we had sixteen. I'm like, oh, I'll be able

938
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 3: to sleep. I wake up. I mean that was what

939
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 3: was there ever a place like that for you where

940
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 3: you kind of would struggle, whether it was just the

941
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: city you were in, or accommodations or whatever.

942
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: Only one place, Denver for the exact reason you said.

943
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: And I know, I give Andy Reid a lot of props,

944
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: but the dude, he's going to be a Hall of

945
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: Fame head coach. We would actually go two days early

946
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 1: because he wanted us to get used to it, and

947
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: he knew the first night. But like you know, you

948
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: almost have to think of the little things when you're

949
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: talking about the NFL, because the margin of difference of

950
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 1: talent is so slim. But we would go two days early,

951
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 1: just so smart so we could get used to that

952
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: all right, quick time out don't touch that now. Kaylin

953
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: Bullock coming up next, and you don't want to miss that,

00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: all right, Welcome back Texans All Access players. Addition, and

955
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: like promise, Kaitlin Bullock had a chance to catch up

956
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 1: with Chase b on the shuffle.

957
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 5: Check it out.

958
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 9: It's crazy because you're actually the first rookie that we've

959
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 9: actually had on the show.

960
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying.

961
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 6: So you got to set tone right now, the whole

962
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 6: class twenty four.

963
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,439
Speaker 8: I'm gonna hold it down.

964
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 6: You're gonna hold it down and hold it down. I'm

965
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 6: not gonna because youre a California guy.

966
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,760
Speaker 8: Right yeah, oh yeah, We're.

967
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 9: About to get into so because so last year I

968
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 9: had to sit down with our quarterback and you know

969
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,760
Speaker 9: he's a California guy. Well he had some choice words

970
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 9: to say about his new found citty.

971
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 6: But we'll get into that. We'll get into that a

972
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 6: little bit later.

973
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 9: But just you know, off of the last couple of weeks,

974
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 9: a couple of months, you know, congratulations on getting drafted.

975
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 6: But you know, how's it been.

976
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 9: What's the biggest transition you think you've had to make

977
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 9: being a collegiate athlete to professional.

978
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 10: It's been great. I've been adjusting pretty well. I think

979
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 10: the guys on this team, they walcome welcomed us with

980
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 10: open arms and you know, took us under their wings,

981
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 10: made us comfortable just to be ourselves in the locker

982
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 10: room and on the field. So I think it's been

983
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 10: going pretty well.

984
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 8: Yeah.

985
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 6: What's the biggest thing you think you miss about being

986
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 6: back home?

987
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 8: CALLI and the weather for sure.

988
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 6: And then you came in.

989
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna lie.

990
00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 9: I feel bad, bro, and I apologize on mother's natures

991
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 9: at but you came into a rough summer.

992
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 6: But it's not always like that. We had some hurricanes

993
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 6: and stores before.

994
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 8: But it was crazy. As soon as I got.

995
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 10: Out here, hurricane flew back to Cali.

996
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 8: I'm then it'll be.

997
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 5: Hot out I promise you.

998
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 6: It's not always like that. This is just the wind

999
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 6: patterns must have changed or something like that.

1000
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's crazy out here.

1001
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1002
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 9: So you went to you went to high school in Pasadena. Yeah, yeah,

1003
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 9: and so I read you it's actually SA High School,

1004
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 9: Jacke Robinson. That old thing like as soon as you

1005
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 9: get there, they're like, yo, it's like a statue.

1006
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 8: It's not it's not a statue.

1007
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 10: But he got a big like like picture pain of them,

1008
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 10: like they just put it there. And then he like,

1009
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 10: if you walk in the hallways, you'll always see like

1010
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 10: a Jackie Robinson jersey, like his plaque or something. And

1011
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 10: then of course, like you go to the baseball field jerseyed.

1012
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 8: Stuff like that.

1013
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 9: But it's my favorite athlete of all time to have

1014
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 9: them tatted on my legs.

1015
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 6: So I thought that was a really cool st Yeah, and.

1016
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 9: Then I also read that so you guys and John

1017
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 9: high School are like a huge well you went to.

1018
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 6: High school.

1019
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 9: It is like a huge ri rivalry and y'all get

1020
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 9: to actually play at the Yeah, So how does that

1021
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 9: go down?

1022
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 10: So that that rivalry, it's one of the it's the

1023
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 10: best rivalry game.

1024
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,800
Speaker 8: To me, it has to playing playing the rolls to

1025
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 8: play the rose Bow. The whole city come out.

1026
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 10: And then the guys, the guys on the other team,

1027
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 10: you like grew up with them too, so you know,

1028
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 10: pop one of them, You got some of your friends

1029
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 10: on the other team. You grow up with the Yeah,

1030
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 10: so when you see each other, it's like, yes's on now,

1031
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 10: we can't wait to see y'all. So that that'd be

1032
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 10: that you look forward to that game. Everybody look forward

1033
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 10: to that game in the city. It's bragging rights.

1034
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,320
Speaker 5: We continue with Bullock and Chase b on the shuffle.

1035
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 9: So imagine a lot of both high schools probably put

1036
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 9: at dudes in the league.

1037
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 6: I would imagine just from we.

1038
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 9: Did more, you stayed home, went to USC, and what

1039
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 9: was that legacy for you? Like, just you know, being

1040
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 9: a callege kid, the Southern California kid, and getting an

1041
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:19,720
Speaker 9: opportunity to play football.

1042
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 10: It was great just to go get the opportunity to

1043
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 10: play at USC, Like you said, being a Southern Californian kid.

1044
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 10: That's the the USC USC that's big on the West coast.

1045
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 10: That's the school that you dream of going to. So

1046
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 10: that always was my dream, just to play at the coliseum.

1047
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 10: So once I got there, it just felt unreal that

1048
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 10: I was, you know, at USC.

1049
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, not for real.

1050
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 6: So I got to ask you just position based? You know,

1051
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 6: you're playing dB, playing safety.

1052
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,959
Speaker 9: I was watching I watched the episode of Travis Kelsey

1053
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 9: and Jason Kelsey's podcast, right yeah.

1054
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 6: And they were talking about what's the hardest position in sports?

1055
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 6: Not even just football. They were talking about the hardest

1056
00:43:56,120 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 6: position in sports, and he said he was like, He's

1057
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 6: like dvs by far he was.

1058
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 9: I think he centered that cornerbacks, but he said the

1059
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 9: far hardest position to play.

1060
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: Do you agree?

1061
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 6: Do you think is the hardest position?

1062
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 10: I think dB is the hardest position to play, especially

1063
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 10: corner corner. You know, you got somebody running four to

1064
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 10: three at you, trying to guess they round. I'm trying

1065
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 10: to match the route, and it is hard. Like but quarterback,

1066
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 10: it's a I think it's also a hard position.

1067
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 8: It's not easy to play quarterback.

1068
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,840
Speaker 10: You know, you gotta be the smartest guy on the

1069
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 10: field at all times.

1070
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 8: So I'm going DV though.

1071
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that, honestly, I think it's the hard position.

1072
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 8: I'm going to DV for sure.

1073
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 10: It's hard reader, remembering coverages, looking at file dB for

1074
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:40,160
Speaker 10: sure hardest.

1075
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 6: So have you played all over the field? Have you

1076
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: played corner? You played obviously playing safety now, but.

1077
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 10: Yeah in college I did so college I played corner,

1078
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 10: nickels safety, so I was all all around in the

1079
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 10: back end my freshman year, so I kind of I

1080
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 10: know how it feels to, you know, be on that

1081
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 10: island b out there and being that slot.

1082
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,439
Speaker 9: Yeah, I gotta ask you best worst moments, So what's

1083
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 9: one moment you remember in high school and college where

1084
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 9: you just might have just read the wrong coverage and

1085
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:08,280
Speaker 9: just gave up a crazy touchdown.

1086
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 6: And then what's the best interception.

1087
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 10: You think you had in college? The worst? Let me

1088
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 10: try and think. It had to be like something freshman

1089
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 10: year in my college. I gave up like wide open

1090
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 10: bus coverage.
