What 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: you provide for their Christmases or what I do for 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,280 Speaker 1: the Christmas el so what what the what we do 20 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: is whatever they want for Christmas? Um? It's the selected students. 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: Whatever they want for Christmas, they pick it out and 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: have some shoppers that go out and get it and 23 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: we have fun that way, we go out and get it, 24 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: we get it to them, We have a usually have 25 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: some type of party, and then afterwards I usually give 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,559 Speaker 1: about three bikes, anywhere from three to five bikes. Um 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: that people that the kids that are selected by the 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: teachers pick out. I think one of perfect attendance because 29 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 1: to to you have to first be there. To be 30 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: able to to learn, you have to show up. Showing 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: up as half of and anybody can show up doesn't 32 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: take any talent, doesn't take any brain power to show up. 33 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: So I do that and it's been fun. Man. I've 34 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: been doing this for for a while and I just 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: kind of stuck to it. I always wanted to kind 36 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: of be involved with the community, but I didn't want 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: it just because I left the community. One thing, even 38 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the last thing you want to do with kids is 39 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: let them down. So how old are the kids we're 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: talking about? Um there their elementary, so they're anywhere from 41 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: the public schools on both public school public schools, it's 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: eitherywhere from five to fifth grade to like eleven playing 43 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: eleven yea. So it's it's it's a good thing, man. 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: I really enjoy it. I have a good time with it. 45 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: And they remind me what this stuff is all about. 46 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: So fifty seven kids, huh, So they gotta have good grades, 47 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: they gotta have a time. That's gotta show up. You 48 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: let the teachers down there picked from many school so 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: how many? It just won school's one school. I let 50 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: the kids. I let the kids pick. How do you 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: decide on the school? Well, I've been to the the same 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: school twelve years, same school, And that's what I'm saying. 53 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: Like when I made a commitment to him, I don't 54 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: want them to think, oh, he went to the Baltimore 55 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: he left the Baltimore Raves, came New York Jets. He's 56 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: going to forget about us. You know. He was just 57 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: doing that while he was here, because you know that's kids. 58 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: Kids have people come in and out of their life 59 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: all the time, you know what I mean. I didn't 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: want to be that person. Skies on part Scott getting 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: on the trampolines at all. Absolutely, you know. So we're 62 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: running around, running around Bouston, having fun, doing some things 63 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: like that. You know, we had a good time do 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Allmant Elementary School in Baltimore City. And it's spent seven 65 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: years already since since I left Baltimore. Why why is 66 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: Baltimore left such an imprint? I mean, it was just 67 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: it was just where I started, you know, and it's 68 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: where I became a professional, where I learned the game 69 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: UM and it was a kids in need and that's 70 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: what I learned about getting out in the community. Tuesday, 71 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: we had to get out in the community, go somewhere 72 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: and do something. And everybody there is doing something. You 73 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: know that whether Steve Smith, Tory Smith, whatever, you know, 74 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: that organization really focuses on the community because there it's 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: not like there's anything else there. It's just baseball and football. 76 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: It's not basketball, it's not soccer, is not celebrities all 77 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: over the place. Can you find something similarities between where 78 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: you grew up and Baltimore. It's a small it's a 79 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: smaller Detroit man, that's see what it is and empowers 80 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: We know about the riots that they had UM not 81 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: too long ago, and you know, I just like it's weird. 82 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: I've never remember I start something, I have to finish it. 83 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: And I felt like it wasn't finished. I never quit anything. 84 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: So I made a promise to these kids, and I 85 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: make sure that it comes out of my checking account 86 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: because I think it's more intimate that way, opposed to 87 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: raising money to get it. It always comes out of 88 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: my my my account, so I could feel it as well, 89 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: you know, so I can provide it for the kids, 90 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: but I feel it when I get that, I feel 91 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: like I personally did I didn't get money from somebody 92 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: else to do it. I did it myself. So it 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: takes a village though. But because you're out here, you 94 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: got a full time job all over the place. You're 95 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: working for the jazz here and CVS. So who helps you? 96 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: I'll get this thing going U. Valerie Walderman, who's the 97 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: secretary at the Ravens, she kind of helps everybody out. 98 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: You want to find a player, you want to see 99 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: where he's at, what he's doing.

You know, it's 123 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: not always about you know, giving something materialistic, but sometimes 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: it's about it you give what you can. It's about 125 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: you're loving each other, being nice to each other, you know, 126 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: trying to um get you if you can't give.

Their starting 142 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: to understand that that's my purpose of taking them down 143 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: and understand that for some kids and maybe the only 144 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 1: time all year in which they get an opportunity to 145 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: say hey, I want this this and they get it. See, 146 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: because what I didn't want's go get a bunch of basketball, 147 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of random toys and say hey, pick a 148 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: present right, because what happens is, you know, that's somebody 149 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: to give you a toy, you want to be appreciative 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: of it. But what if you don't like that toy 151 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: and you don't want to be selfish the I don't 152 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 1: like it, you just kind of take what you get. 153 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: But you know, you get a kid of basketball, but 154 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: he likes wrestling. It's like, what you is he going 155 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: to get out of that exactly? So I make sure 156 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: that I get exactly and they shut towards the rest 157 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: down for me, for my shoppers, for the fifty seven kids. 158 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: You know, the kids don't they never go, I know, 159 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: but for the shoppers, they the seven lists, Yeah, my 160 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: shopper and they get specifically exactly exactly. So when they 161 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: opened up, they say, oh, this is just what I wanted, 162 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: Mr Scott. And that's to me, that's that's more fulfilling 163 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: because you know, they're getting exactly what they want. So 164 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: if they don't get another present, they got they got 165 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: exactly what they want. And it really doesn't matter. I 166 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: don't ask them how much. It causes no limit, you know, 167 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: for what it is. But the kid asked for something 168 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: that's like cheap or something twenty thirty dollars. Then they 169 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: can keep getting, they can get more, you know, they 170 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: get more. So I think they make like three or 171 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: four things that they want and they get exactly what 172 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: they want. And then you know, if a kid to 173 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: get something that some kids want a guitar, you know. 174 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: I think some kids they wanted Matt in two thousand seventeen, 175 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: and one kid want the iPad, some type of Amazi iPad. Whatever. 176 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, but it just makes me feel good 177 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: that I can let them know that despite especially now 178 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: in this country with it's such a big divide, and 179 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, you got sexism, racism, uh, you know, the 180 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: political climate is stuff, you know, And I'm glad you're 181 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: bringing this up. He's making a transition because I'm I 182 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: was very frustrated this morning. I went into a large 183 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: coffee establishment and I ordered the Christmas Blend. That's what 184 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: it said on the sign, said Christmas Blood. Now, the 185 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: person who was taking care of me, the employee, said 186 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: why isn't it the holiday blend. Why isn't it the 187 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: Quasa blun. Why isn't it the Hanakah blank? And I said, 188 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: I'm reading the sign. It said Christmas blend. This is 189 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: your establishment. So I was nice about it. Whatever, gave 190 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: me the coffee. And then she said at the end, 191 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: after she gave me my coffee, she said, happy Hanaka. 192 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: And I'm like, whoa, I really like, where's your manager 193 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: at all? Just happened here? Yeah, exactly because I think 194 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: they took in Starbucks. I think they took the Santa 195 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,680 Speaker 1: Claus off, right, don't even know. Yeah, this was a 196 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: cup that's been brewing for a couple of years. So 197 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: they took like the Santa Claus off and just made 198 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: it the red cup because they some people are talking 199 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: about defending, like come on, man, like whether you believe 200 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: in Christmas and what it means, Like we can't get 201 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: so specific, you know with a holiday. If it's a 202 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: holiday and they're showing they want to put a jolly 203 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: white guy on the cup, who cares, man, It's not 204 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: about the person on the cup is what is supposed 205 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: to represent. It's opposed to represent the season of giving, 206 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: you know, sharing with each other, loving each other, being 207 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: actually to each other. And it sounds to me like 208 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: she was man sarcastic. Yeah, joy to the world, man, 209 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: But I listen back. You know, you don't have to 210 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: celebrate Christmas. That's that's fine. I literally ordered to drink 211 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 1: that said Christmas brund. Was this a black person? No? No, 212 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: If I went in what she said happy quanza, I 213 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: don't know, maybe because that's a forgetting versions. I have 214 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: no idea. I have no idea. I just don't understand 215 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: where we're at sometimes. Yeah, I mean I was a 216 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: young person too, and I'm thinking to myself, why are 217 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: you so mad? People feel like they can say whatever 218 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: they want to know what was every so mad about. 219 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: I don't get it. They listen, if you don't like 220 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: working at Starbucks and do better, Like, what do you want? 221 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? I didn't do. 222 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: I didn't do anything. I just flaver guest. I almost 223 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: tweeted it out, but then I thought I thought that 224 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: that would cause a stir on Twitter, so I didn't 225 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 1: get into it. You might, you might need it, just 226 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: you might need to go up there and talked to 227 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: her manager. I listened. That was very rude because I 228 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: can tell us bothering you because you brought it all 229 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: the way here. It's like, like, I'll be damned. I'm 230 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 1: the customer. Yeah, well the customer me. I never listen. 231 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: Marty Lions always says this, and I think you have 232 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: this similar approach, even though we've never talked about it. 233 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: You always can change a person's day by just the 234 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 1: way you talk to them and just by saying hello. 235 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to go all, oh, this is 236 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: the way everybody's got to be. But just just have 237 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: some courtesy, man, Like this is your job. You're in 238 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: a customer service business, Like, you're here to serve people. Well, 239 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: what a smile? Do it with humility, do it with 240 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: dignity and pride. That's another thing with serving people too, 241 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: is that you're probably really generous with tips. I even 242 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: if you get bad service at a restaurant, I'm always 243 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: that's where I go um at the hotel when you leave, 244 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: I always leave about five bucks or something like that, 245 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 1: because I don't think those people get paid a lot 246 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 1: of money. I think now, but I don't know how 247 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: to do it now that I get a house, you're 248 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: putting a garbage out to the curb. Back in old days, 249 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: you give tip. Now, how does it work now? What 250 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: are the rules? I don't know, man, I don't know 251 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: because I are like that that they get paid by 252 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: they get paid by their employer or is that something 253 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: that I'm supposed to do. I like tipping at the restaurants. 254 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 1: I like this. It's always amazing to me that people 255 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: expect to get a tip for on their job. It's 256 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: like me coming to the Jets and say, hey man, 257 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: about Christmas time, get little extra bonus look kicking like, 258 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't get it. I don't understand. You know, 259 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: I don't ask CBS, hey man, you know Christmas, you 260 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 1: know what's up with the bonus package. But you know, 261 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: sometimes it's amazing to me that people expect to get 262 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: a tip just because to give him a tip. Hotels 263 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: are the worst. I think, Yeah, let me get that 264 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: for you. No, I don't want you to get that 265 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: exactly because guy's gonna cost me.

I wonder what 341 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: the next stop is for him, and you get a 342 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: chance to talk to him. Still Cavin a couple of 343 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: weeks ago, he didn't say what's next. I think he's just, 344 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure out what's next Atlanta, tak 345 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: care of his daughter and then and that's the process, 346 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: figuring out what you want to do next. I ran 347 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: to Shine Green into the mall in the mall yesterday. 348 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: He's trying to do real estates and real estate with 349 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: his uncle. Stuff like that. Now, you know, guys are 350 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: still around, Guys are still doing well. You know, I'm 351 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: glad that guys are still doing well, and they're trying 352 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: to make a smooth transition to other things. Speaking of 353 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: smooth transitions, what do you think about bah Pole is 354 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,360 Speaker 1: he's taking over the bell cow duties here because Matt 355 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: Forte dealing with the knee injury, and he's tough, tough dude, 356 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: because I think he's playing through a torn meniscus, he 357 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: told reporters, and he's there to spell BA. But wow, 358 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, two nights, but all over 359 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: the field, well, I think that I think allows earned 360 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: the right to uh. I think it allows earned the 361 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: right to uh be the guy. I think he's earned 362 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: the right to like his play on the field for 363 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: the last couple of years, I think he's earned the 364 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: right to be the lead back here. I mean, and 365 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: that's not a knock on map Fort Terry anything. That's 366 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: just a testament to what he's been able to do 367 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: and how he's able to play even in the everybody 368 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: knows he's getting the ball right, still productive. And what 369 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: impresses me about a lot of more than anything, it's 370 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: his um, his bliss, pick up, his past protection. You know, 371 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: his willingness is always square up, stepping there and take 372 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,239 Speaker 1: on whoever comes in. You know, I figured that out 373 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: when I first got here and when we uhould go 374 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: against guys and you know, guys kind of see me 375 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 1: didn't want to go, didn't know what I was going 376 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: to do and they would go against certain guys that 377 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 1: they knew what was gonna do it for next move 378 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: or something like that, you know, or you know, I 379 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: used to have like this little chop club that they's 380 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: always worried about. And you know, he would sitting there 381 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: and then sitting there and taking man. And that's that 382 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: was early. That was his rookie year. I mean, so 383 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: you know, I'm definitely a big fan of Alapau. What 384 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: do you like most about his physical skill set? You 385 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: just talked to out him as a blocker, because that 386 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: was his forte no pun intended early in his career 387 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: was that, hey, this guy can always be on the 388 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: field and third situations because he is great and blitz 389 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: pick up. Now, when you see him with the ball 390 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: in his hands, why is he so affective either on 391 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: the ground or is the receiver? So me me watching 392 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: him the last two years, I've seen the player that 393 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: I saw on his highlight tape from Louisville. So now 394 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: I see that he's got it all figured out. That 395 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: he's running, he's not thinking, he's reacting, you know, And 396 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: it took him a couple because the first couple of 397 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: years he he didn't run and hit the holes, and 398 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: seemed like he was like cruising. It seemed like he 399 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: wasn't going all out. But now you can see like 400 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: the progression him understanding the defensive fronts, understanding where the 401 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: holes are going to be, thinking to two moves ahead, 402 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: setting up his blocks before he just hit the hole 403 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: that he's supposed to hit. And that comes with time, 404 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: and sometimes it takes longer for others than than than 405 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: it does. You know, take some longer than others. And 406 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: I can tell that he's at that point. It's amazing 407 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: though it's there's six seasons, but he has so much 408 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: tread on his tires because he's never been together the guy. 409 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: And you can tell because you know, it's a it's 410 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: a point when you're an athlete where it's all athleticism. 411 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 1: Then the mind catches up to the body. And I 412 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 1: can tell he's at the point where his mind has 413 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: caught up with his body so they can work in 414 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: sync with each other, post to his body doing something 415 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: in his mind not processing it fast enough. Do you 416 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: like his attitude because I think he's kind of got. 417 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: I think he's got like his business. Well, that's the thing. 418 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: I think he you know how some offensive players. I'm 419 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: not naming any names. I was always drawn to defensive 420 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: guys because you guys are a little bit different. This 421 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: is no knocking offensive guys, but different personality, different personalities. 422 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: Sumperment now, but is not a guy who wants any 423 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: media coverage. He could be fine. I've never really seen 424 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: them talk to know that's not his deal. But with 425 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: that being said, he's got to be beloved in a 426 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: lot locker room because he never out there saying, man, 427 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: I needed pall more. Look at what I do when 428 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 1: I had the ball. Man he just show up. He's 429 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: not a self motor man. Just comes up, does his job, 430 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: do whatever you ask him to do. And he don't 431 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 1: complain about it. I've never seen him complaining, ever heard 432 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: him complaining. You know, but people don't realize he's still 433 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 1: he's still. He's more talkative and when you get into 434 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: the circle, when when you're earn his trust and you 435 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: may realize but he's a soft spoken, quiet guy. Yeah, 436 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: he doesn't really want and some guys just don't want that. 437 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 1: They don't want the microphones, cameras or whatever about his 438 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: business that you have to be a comfortable individually you 439 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: gotta be comfortable in your skin. He is a businessman 440 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 1: and uh wow, he's been so much fun to watch 441 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. And why is he 442 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 1: so stung in your mind? Does he have like old 443 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: man strength. I'm not taking away from anything he does 444 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: in the offseason because because body doesn't look you look 445 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: at him physically, yeah, not ripped up. He's like a 446 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: soft like type of body type, you know, kind of 447 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: like Carmelo. I don't know mass. It was more about positioning, 448 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: and it's it's about willingness, yeah, and want to And 449 00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: I think he wants to. I don't think he's afraid 450 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: of anything, and he's not afraid to stick his head 451 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: in there and do what you gotta do. I talked 452 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: to when the summer. He said what I like to 453 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: do before the season. I was like going down to 454 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Louisville because he loves it doting there and there's a 455 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: lot of hills, so he does a lot of a lot. 456 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: I'm a hill guy too. Oh yeah, so he does 457 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: a lot of help build one in my backyard. Yeah 458 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: what happened? Man?

Yeah, you know, to be 460 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: able to run because you can't stand straight up if 461 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: you run up a hill. So he runs like he 462 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: runs up a hill when you look at him, like 463 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: when you saw him drive that guy on the tape 464 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: that we did for the show ye before today Saturday, Saturday.

You need to 497 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 1: set up a job, you know, Joe with all that power, 498 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: needs to get a new trainer, somebody that can teach him. 499 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: You know how to set it up, Buddy mcgird or 500 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, one of the He needs to get one 501 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: of these good trainers to help him make the next step, 502 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: the next stip. But what do you what do you 503 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: think about the Bernard just boxing until he's fifty one? 504 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: That is just your box at fifty look good. But 505 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: what happens is he had a long layoff and you know, 506 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: just like a season, right, people like, man, how can 507 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: this guy he looks like a different player, right, But 508 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: if you realize he just finished playing in January and 509 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: in September he's saying he's done. So that's not a 510 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 1: whole year what I'm saying. So it was weird because 511 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: one guy can be like trash like man. He aids 512 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: so fast like man that was only eight months ago 513 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: where he was just wowing us. But it happens that 514 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: fast man in the boxing, not gonna imagine. Only happens 515 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: happens even fast when you lose your punch. And he 516 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 1: never was a big punch when he wasn't so it's 517 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: not like George Farmer, George former. Last thing, he lost 518 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: his punch and he had to make sure he had 519 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: he had to speed to get it there, and he 520 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: caught more. He baited it to him with a punch. 521 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: He was standing right there for because he thought he 522 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: couldnt big Georgia um Hopkins just amazing. After after September eleven, 523 00:25:55,400 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: two thousand one, he fought um Felix Trindada at the Garden, 524 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: Oh my god, and he knocked out Hablic was the 525 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: most impressive one because he felt like the ghost was 526 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 1: the man at that time. Then hey, listen, I know 527 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: yellahy hit him in the ribs. But Oscar was still 528 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: he still was older than Oscar, so we can't give 529 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,640 Speaker 1: not like he's fighting old guys. He was the old 530 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: guy that was a liver shot man. Yeah, I got what, 531 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,479 Speaker 1: I get what it takes to get up. He couldn't 532 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: move man. One of the dirtiest guys in the game. 533 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 1: And I quote Bernard all the time. He always tells me, 534 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: um was was was made last long and was born. 535 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,239 Speaker 1: And I always say Ray Jones was made, I mean 536 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 1: was born because he had all the natural skills. Yeah, 537 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: but when that it wrote it because he wasn't made. 538 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: It couldn't last as long as be hop because when 539 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: they fought and and Roy beat Bernard Hopkins, we would 540 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: have thought Roy Jones would be considered the greater fighter. 541 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: I think now out of caution, shoudow of a doubt. 542 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: People consider Bernard Hopkins a greater boxer or fighter. Roy Jones. 543 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: You know, Roy Jones was special, like special he was. 544 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: He was unbelievable. But you know he didn't run the 545 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: race long. What is made last longer than what is born. 546 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:22,440 Speaker 1: That is tremendous advice from be hop I mean bottom line, 547 00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: and that doesn't take anything away from his career. Yeah, everybody, 548 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: every great go out like that. Joe Lewis went out 549 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,199 Speaker 1: like that. Lead went out like that. Larry Holmes went 550 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: out like that. Larry Holmes, I mean, Mohammed I'll leave same. 551 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: Moldly went out like that. Yeah, so all these guys. 552 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: You know, My whole thing is it usually doesn't und 553 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: well for anybody, for any He pushed Press's luck because 554 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: after Gene Pascal, he he had that great fighting beat 555 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: that young champion you know, you know, top two contender 556 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: in his division. You know, he beat him. He should 557 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: have just dropped the mic and left, but now he 558 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: wanted to fight. He started with pablic And we've seen 559 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: this before because remember when Roy Jones, it started with Tarber. 560 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: Tarber called him, he got caught and knocked out. Then 561 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 1: he fought Glenn Johnson got got knocked out with his 562 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: with his foot stuck in the air, and then he 563 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: still fight. He just fought like maybe a couple of 564 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: years ago, and you know he don't need because he 565 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: trained fighter. I actually like Roy Jones as a commentator. 566 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 1: I just sometimes sometimes you like, but I feel bad 567 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: for these guys who get put to sleep, because that's 568 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: the thing with Roy Jones. He's about to put to 569 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 1: sleep a number of time like he wasn't. Once you 570 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: go to sleep once, it's easy to go to sleep again, 571 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 1: oh man. But uh yeah. So that's a little boxing 572 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,360 Speaker 1: minute for that. So for the Jets against the Patriots 573 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, we talked about his rise. What do you 574 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: want to see from Petty? This week? He's got two 575 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: more starts as he tries to put his name into 576 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: the equation for the starting quarterback job here in two 577 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 1: thousand and seventeen. He wants to be part of that 578 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: conversation what do you want? What do you want to 579 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: see from him? You just want to see continue growth, 580 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: understanding what defenses are doing to him. You want to 581 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,719 Speaker 1: see him at control little line of scram see him 582 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: be able to check out a bad place. You want 583 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: to see him throw the ball one time in rhythm. 584 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: You want to see him trying to find some chemistry 585 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: with Marshall and instead of missing some of these throws, 586 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 1: making some of these throws the chemist Marshall, I think, 587 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: because like why is it there with Anderson because exactly so, 588 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: it's like not understanding Tennessee's body language. You know, in football, 589 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: it's all about the non verbal communication. He said, he's 590 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: seeing the field better. You can you can you see 591 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: that when you're watching Come on, like it's gonna be 592 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 1: like that. It's gonna be up and down. He's in 593 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: the middle of the year. Everything is not suited exactly 594 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: to what he's capable of doing. They weren't really able 595 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: to kind of start him slow. When you get in 596 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: and in like this, you still gotta try. You got 597 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: more of the packaging and when if it was early 598 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: in the season, you're build them up to the preseason. 599 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: So he has to work with that. He's got to 600 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: take something away from from the way he started again 601 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: against Miami. They went down the field and scored. The 602 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 1: previous week, he said he was nervous before uh the 603 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: forty Niners game, and he said it was getting to 604 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: me a little bit, just because he's so excited. Probably 605 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: had anticipation, but he came out and he took a 606 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: step forward just by coming out and leaning them down 607 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: the field, connecting with Robbie Intererston at four the yar touchdown. 608 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 1: Where the game kind of changed early was that first 609 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: turnover the strip sack because the Jets weren't scoring terror 610 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 1: territory again there in that second possession. That's a big thing. 611 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: You know, you can't do this this week Saturday against 612 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: the Patriots. He can't turn football over. You have no 613 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: chance because they thrive more than any team in the 614 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: league on capitalizing your mistakes turnos, and they're gonna they're 615 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: gonna drop eight and make them find They're gonna put 616 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: pressure on and mix it up and make him have 617 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 1: to find the open guy. And that's the hardest thing 618 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: for young guy because all he wants to take is 619 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,680 Speaker 1: his check. Now, if you go check down, negative play 620 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: is going to be incombent that that the offensive line 621 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: make sure they don't get any procedure penalties because you 622 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 1: can't put a young guy like that behind the sticks 623 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: because the patrols are gonna give you the five yard 624 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 1: the four yard, but they're not gonna get a big stuff. 625 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: But Polichick is always known for taking away your top option. 626 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: So with Bryce right now, his top option is the 627 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 1: speech to Robbie Intererston. And also now you're seeing what 628 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: as we talked about before, what Paul could do. How 629 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: how do you how do you think who approach it's 630 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: it always starts with being able to take away Brandon Marshall. 631 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: You have to take away the the best, the best 632 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: guy that they have, you know, I mean you have 633 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: to do that first, so they'll be clearly safety over 634 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: the top. It would be too safety. It's too safety 635 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: to go see if you can run the ball. And 636 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: what they're probably gonna do is probably run blitz early 637 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: in and don't understanding that you're going to usually hand 638 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: the ball all and then try and get in the 639 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,280 Speaker 1: manageable second down because you don't want to get the 640 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,720 Speaker 1: third and loan. So you know they're gonna have to 641 00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: throw a little bit on first down just to to 642 00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: keep them on it. Light in the box. Uh, what 643 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: kind of advice would you give the young guys who 644 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: are playing their second ball game against the Patriots, guys 645 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: like they're in lead That great film breakdown. So he 646 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 1: should have learned by that because the Patriots don't change, 647 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: they just execute, you know, So he's going to see 648 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 1: that same thing. They're going to try and make sure 649 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: that he's made the correction, and when that play presents itself, 650 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: he's going to have to make sure and show that 651 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: he's you know, he has some growth. You're seeing Dian 652 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: Lewis become more of a force for them again, which 653 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: is no surproblems always. Yeah, they're away from the company. 654 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,560 Speaker 1: And then Jordan Jenkins had his first career full sack 655 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: last week, and I think he's doing some good things 656 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: in the outside linebacker. He's a rookie. And then we 657 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: broke down Justin Bursts as well.
