42
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 3: you do for your long weekend?

43
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 4: I actually went home. I just bought a property.

44
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, excuse me, I beg your pardon.

45
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just bought a property so I can use

46
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 4: it as like an airbnb or rental property. So I'm

47
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: renovating it now.

48
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. In what city? Is this in Houston?

49
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: So you didn't buy a house or you bought a property?

50
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 4: Well, condo, two bedroom too, bath condo?

51
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 3: You bought a property. That's I don't believe I've ever

52
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 3: owned a property. I'm out of the house, but I

53
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: don't think I've ever thought of myself as having owned

54
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 3: the property. So I am even more impressed with you

55
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: now than I was before.

56
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,960

96
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,560

124
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: the first impressions of seeing the team, because so you

125
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: were one of the great examples of you know, if

126
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 3: you were at practice every day, if you were a

127
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: coach or a player, you knew what you were all about.

128
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: And several other new guys, but the public had never

129
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: seen you in this uniform.

130
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: So now that you had a weekend.

131
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 3: Kind of get your feet back up under you and

132
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: take a deep breath in retrospect. How did you feel

133
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 3: forget the result? How did you feel about the game?

134
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I felt good. Like I said, it's just like

135
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 5: a different kind of chemistry. I feel like the team

136
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 5: got going on right now. It's just like everybody get

137
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 5: along and it's like we've been knowing each other whole life,

138
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: even though I just got here in March. But I

139
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 5: like the vibes. I like my teammates, I like the coaches.

140
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: I like everything about it.

141
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: How much bonding and coming together can you do in

142
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 3: an in a an off season, in OTA's and mini

143
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: camp and then and then training camp. At least you

144
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: guys have the I think it's a blessing of going

145
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 3: away for training camp, where you wind up spending a

146
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: little more time together, probably, but how much.

147
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: Of that can happen in an offseason.

148
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 5: There's really as much as you want, as much or

149
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 5: however much you want wanted to happen just hanging out

150
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 5: with your team is. I feel like going to California,

151
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 5: like you said, was big for us though, as far

152
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 5: as bonding with everybody being on the just at the

153
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 5: hotel in the same little area, we had like game

154
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 5: rooms things like that, so I mean you could just

155
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 5: walk outside and go to somebody else's room, So I

156
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 5: feel like that's where most of the bonding happened at

157
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 5: in California.

158
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: Can I ask one question?

159
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 3: I may got in trouble for this because I don't

160
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: I'm not sure I'm supposed to even ask about this. Uh,

161
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 3: you guys had an arcade, a player's arcade. This was

162
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: a tent that was separate from everything. They and the

163
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: coaches were not allowed, right, just players. And I mean

164
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: the first day when I drove by it, the flap

165
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: was open a little and you could see in, and

166
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 3: I thought, what looks like a real arcade, And by

167
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 3: two hours later the flap was closed. It was no

168
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 3: you had to like have a double secret probation password.

169
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: Did you have to want to show your badge or yeah?

170
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

171
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure that they want anybody talking about it,

172
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 3: but no one has specifically said to me, Brad, don't

173
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: talk about the arcade. So I'll just plead dumb because

174
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: I've been dumb for forty seven years doing this.

175
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: Uh what was in the arcade? Dude?

176
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 5: Just like games mainly? Uh like car games, That's what

177
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: it was. Really playing them? Was Papa Shot just regular games?

178
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 2: Are you good with car games?

179
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

180
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: I'm all right, I know I'm probably know probably my

181
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: best game.

182
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 4: MM, I don't know about that one.

183
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good.

184
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 6: I don't know about that one.

185
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 5: Talk about you know, the culture.

186
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, I just want to make sure that

187
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: i'm I'm I try to listen very carefully. I thought

188
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: that Javante said that Uno was probably his best game,

189
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: and then I thought that you said, oh, I don't

190
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 3: know about that.

191
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good at Uno. So I think I just

192
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: heard you challenge him.

193
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I know I did.

194
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, you get your camera and film that and

195
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: then it'll be out on the infrawebs.

196
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: That'll be good I want to see that. Okay, sorry, no,

197
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: you're fine.

198
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: You know we've kind of mentioned the culture that shot

199
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 4: He's brought here and kind of change here in Dallas.

200
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 4: You've coming from Denver, you know, and I had a

201
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: chance to ask you this on one of the preseason games.

202
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: But I do want the people to hear how special

203
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 4: is this culture? Truly from someone who's come from somewhere

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: else and now kind of here in Dallas experiencing it.

205
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: It's it's really just different because it feel like a real,

206
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 5: genuine like Shoty. He's the type of coach like, oh no,

207
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 5: you just feel his energy when you walk in the room,

208
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: and just having him as a coach, like a younger,

209
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: offensive minded coach. I definitely feel like he knows he's doing.

210
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 5: He got a good grasp how he wanted the team

211
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 5: to be, and he wanted us to look a certain

212
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 5: way and play a certain way. And you could just

213
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 5: feel that every day when you were in the building.

214
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 5: I feel like he put together like a good roster

215
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: of coaches, and all the coaches get along with each other.

216
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 5: It's just fun. It's special. I feel like it's gonna

217
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 5: be a special for you.

218
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: Paul, would you just would you just tell me when

219
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 3: the camera crews assigned and they and you all tape

220
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 3: this uh game, because I would like to. I want

00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 3: And only North Carolina get among the bold subdivision schools

00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,359

282
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: Is that right? What the hell's wrong with everybody else?

283
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 3: Hey?

284
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 5: Oh no? So my first uh my first three years

285
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 5: of high school only played linebacker. But all the schools

286
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 5: that was coming down, like NC State, well really are

287
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: the big North Carolina schools they were saying, like, you

288
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: too short to play linebacker at the D one level.

289
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 5: So my senior year I got a new new head

290
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: coach and he switched me to running back, and that's

291
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 5: when all my offers started coming.

292
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 4: Did you play any other position outside the linebacker?

293
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 5: I tried safety, but I ain't really like that too much. Uh,

294
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: and then y'all just running back. But the way you play,

295
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 5: the way you do things in North Carolina lif if

296
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 5: you make it to the state championship, you either play

297
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 5: at UNC Stadium, the Tar Hills in C State, or

298
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 5: the Demon Deacons what Forrest. So my senior year and

299
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 5: we made it to the state championship. The game was

300
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 5: in Chapel Hill and the first play of the game

301
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 5: I scored like seventy yard touchdown. And after that, coach for.

302
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 4: Door offered me, so, you went to un C, you

303
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 4: talk about U n C. Uh, you kind of use

304
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: that as fuel to help you succeed there?

305
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

306
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: What you mean? Was that like a fuel for you?

307
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 4: You know overlooked school?

308
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 5: Absolutely? Yeah, I mean that always just stuck with me,

309
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 5: just not offers. I've seen everybody else getting it, and

310
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 5: I felt like I deserve because my JAM school. If

311
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 5: I could have went anywhere, I probably went at Florida

312
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 5: the Gators like Florida I just always like.

313
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 3: A big party school, right, come on, nah, No, it's

314
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: just sec.

315
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: And then just seeing the other players that when they're

316
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 5: like Percy Harvin, I mean, I just always like Florida

317
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: for some reason.

318
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 3: And just here you are still wearing orange after.

319
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: All these years.

320
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm fascinated though, by the fact that the coaches had

321
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 3: you at linebacker for three years. I mean, how were

322
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: you playing both positions running back also or just linebacker?

323
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 5: Mostly just linebacker because we already had two other players

324
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 5: at my school that had D one offers and stuff

325
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 5: like that, so we didn't really need a running back.

326
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 5: We need a linebacker, so that's why I played.

327
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 3: So getting to be a second round pick with just

328
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 3: a year basically of playing uh high school running back,

329
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 3: that's pretty good. Now I've seen some tape, some of

330
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: your North Carolina tape.

331
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: Brother, you're vicious.

332
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: You were you were you were like a just a

333
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: little bit shorter Derrick Henry. I saw you running people,

334
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 3: I mean, not bumping them out.

335
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 2: Of the way.

336
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: I saw you punishing people. Did that just come naturally?

337
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: I think it came from playing linebacker for so long

338
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,479
Speaker 5: and then I just switched to the other side. But

339
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: I still wanted to hit people and stuff. So I

340
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 5: think the mentality just came from playing linebacker for so long.

341
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 5: And I mean they're kind of the same position when

342
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: you think about it, just on the other side, because

343
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 5: I mean you watch them, they watch you. You got

344
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 5: to hit the hole, They got to try to get

345
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 5: to the hole before you do. So I mean it's

346
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: really the same thing.

347
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: Something I think it's interesting is that people always, you know,

348
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 4: try to label you as just this physical downhill runner.

349
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: But when you look at the tape also, you know

350
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 4: you can get spinted, skinny in between the tackles, you

351
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 4: can be explosive. What do you say that when people

352
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 4: try to put you in that box of just being

353
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 4: that physical viole runner.

354
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I understand where they're coming from. But

355
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: like you said, only think I could just label myself

356
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 5: as because I ain't. I mean, I do run into people,

357
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 5: but I ain't just every player trying to like where

358
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 5: yeah where?

359
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah?

360
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 5: I mean if I can, I rather juice somebody did

361
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 5: chuck them everything.

362
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 2: So I want to talk.

363
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: About the vision of running backs, which has always fascinated

364
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: me because some of the greatest running backs have have

365
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: said you when the play is in the process that

366
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 3: you're approaching the whole. You don't necessarily see it. You

367
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,959
Speaker 3: see colors and you kind of know instinctively. And I

368
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 3: saw one. I just was looking at the just in

369
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 3: the first quarter. It was either the first or second series.

370
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 3: You had a playoff left guard and it looked like

371
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 3: maybe the whole was designed between the guard and the center,

372
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 3: but their linebacker was right there. And it's like you

373
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 3: got up to that and said, oh no, I'm not

374
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: going to go there and so and then you had

375
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 3: to get skinny in order to get past the guy

376
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 3: who was coming off the safety who came across the

377
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: face of the tackle, not his primary guy, but you

378
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 3: had to find a second hole. Basic, while you're running,

379
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: you can't stop and look at it. Is that instinct

380
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: or is that something that you can for some of

381
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: the youngsters who are listening, who maybe are running backs,

382
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 3: Can you learn that?

383
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: I say, probably like twenty percent of his instinct? Yeah,

384
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 5: not too much. I feel like just repetition in certain plays.

385
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 5: You got to understand like what's going on, and then

386
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 5: it'll be easier. I say, this starts slowing down. Some

387
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 5: people think like you just out there running just like blind.

388
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 5: But nah, it's like certain plays like you got power,

389
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 5: you got counter, you got I mean inside on, outside on.

390
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: You just gotta understand. I feel like a concept that'll

391
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 5: make the game slow down for.

392
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: And another thing that always amazes me about really good

393
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: running backs, and I put you in that category is.

394
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: You can tell when you watch tape.

395
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: Watch the tape you talk but slowing down the patience

396
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: that you have to have to allow the block, to

397
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: allow the hole where it's supposed to be, or even

398
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 3: just to allow the defender to overreact because you know

399
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 3: that he's gonna go there and then you can slip

400
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 3: in behind him.

401
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: Is that patience.

402
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 3: That's completely the opposite of playing linebacker, isn't it that patience?

403
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 5: I don't think so. I feel like it's still kind

404
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 5: of just the same because it might look like he

405
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 5: just running and waiting for me to do this and

406
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 5: then I do that, But at the same time he

407
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 5: trying not to get blocked either, So you got to

408
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 5: have a little bit of patience too. He can't just

409
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 5: try to beat me to the whole because like you said,

410
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 5: I might go to other ways. So you got to

411
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 5: have some kind of knowledge and a little bit of

412
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 5: like savvy to him too, to know how to move

413
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 5: around on the field.

414
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 4: Do you feel like your vision has you've perfected that?

415
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: Just?

416
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

417
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 4: I mean you're five years into the league. Do you

418
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 4: feel like you perfected or is there you feel like

419
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: you can still improve in that area?

420
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 7: Oh?

421
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely I can still improve. Like I was just

422
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 5: thinking about that the other day. It's my fifth year

423
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,679
Speaker 5: in the league. But like, still before the game sometimes

424
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 5: I get nervous a little bit. I'm like, well, I'm

425
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: still getting nervous. I've been doing this my whole life.

426
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: But I mean I have to, like the first player,

427
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 5: all that just go away and you just on the feel.

428
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: You forget the fans, the everything just go into.

429
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: A whole another moment.

430
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: What those nerves what how do they manifest? Is it

431
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: your stomach get jumpy or.

432
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: I just can't be still? I feel I just gotta

433
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: start walking around and moving like that'd be the worst part.

434
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,239
Speaker 5: I hate waiting for the game and start like that.

435
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 5: When we get to the stadium, probably like two and

436
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 5: a half hours before the game, that little time period,

437
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 5: I like that I'd be ready to go ahead and play.

438
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 3: Do we find you walking around the locker room, pacing

439
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 3: in the locker room and.

440
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 5: For the game.

441
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

442
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 5: If you was in Philly, yeah, would have seen me.

443
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: Do you have any music that kind of helps ease

444
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 4: your mind?

445
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 5: I like NBA you own boy.

446
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so your headphones are on.

447
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 3: Are you fully dressed and padded and everything by this point?

448
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 5: Uh? That's probably like probably like forty minutes before the

449
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 5: game start. That's when you put everything on.

450
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: So this business about you know, it's your fifth year,

451
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: and it is, of course, but I want people to

452
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: make sure that they know your journey. So you're the

453
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 3: second round pick. But Melvin Gordon was the starting running

454
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 3: back in Denver. So you started one game your rookie year. Yep,

455
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 3: did you know? Did you think there's more?

456
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 5: I can't remember.

457
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: It was one.

458
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: You started one game and you still had over nine

459
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: hundred yards? So are you thinking now they've still got

460
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 3: Melvin Gordon? Are you thinking at this point? Okay, I

461
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 3: have now proven that I can be a running back

462
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 3: in the NFL.

463
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, But I feel like during that time, I

464
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 5: wasn't really thinking about it like that. I was just

465
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 5: so happy to be in the league that I wasn't

466
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 5: here like comparing myself to nobody or nothing like that.

467
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 5: And yeah, it was really just excitement the whole time.

468
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: Like I never really sat back and thought about that

469
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 5: I had made it to the league until probably after

470
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 5: that season. And then that's when it really hit me,

471
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 5: like you really went second round? That's crazy?

472
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 3: And then did you then or do you now? And

473
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 3: of course a lot happened in between. Then we're going

474
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 3: to get to that, but but did you then or

475
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 3: or do you now?

476
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: Think?

477
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 3: Okay, all y'all who did not want to offer me

478
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: and a college scholarship? Are you checking me out now?

479
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't be worried of it. I'm already passed.

480
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 5: Chip on your shoulder still still, but I don't think,

481
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 5: I uh like try to let what other people think

482
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 5: or things that they did to me in the past,

483
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 5: like keep coming back up, like already kind of moved

484
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 5: moved past you.

485
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: So here's where reality sets in. Then you know you

486
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: come second year, I'm guessing, come to training camp in Denver.

487
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 3: You're optimistic, you're confident, you know what you can do.

488
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: Nine under yards didn't start for one game Week five,

489
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 3: you tour just about everything in your knee, just about

490
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm not sure overshown didn't tear a couple more things

491
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: in his but only a couple.

492
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: Everything you tore in a couple more.

493
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

494
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, So.

495
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 3: Now you wind up, you're only played four games. Talk

496
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 3: us through that? What were you thinking about what the

497
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: future looked like? The rest of this is now twenty

498
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 3: twenty two. What were you thinking the future looked like that?

499
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 5: It was weird because I never got hurt before, like

500
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 5: playing football, like nothing, like maybe like a sprain inkor

501
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 5: or something like that, but that's as far as like

502
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 5: an injury had went. So when he jumped on my back,

503
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 5: like I kind of felt my knee buckle a little bit,

504
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 5: but I'm like, I'm alright, Like I'm gonna just get up.

505
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: But when I try to get up, like I put

506
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 5: pressure on my left leg, I was straight, I put

507
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 5: it on my right and it was just like nothing

508
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 5: there no more. I'm like dang, So I fall back down.

509
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 5: Then it got like real hot, like my legs started burning.

510
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 5: So after that, they were trying to move it and

511
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 5: bend it and do all the stuff, but it wasn't

512
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 5: doing nothing. So they called the stretcher out and I

513
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 5: went to the back, but still me thinking like I

514
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 5: never had an injury before. I'm like, oh, it's probably

515
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 5: just probably just sprained me, Like it ain't nothing bad.

516
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 5: I'm still walking around like in the locker room, taking

517
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 5: everything good. So we get back to Denver. Well, yeah,

518
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 5: we leave from Vegas and we fly back to Denver,

519
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: and I took a nap on the plane and when

520
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: I woke up, like my knee was like swoll, like real.

521
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, yeah, damn, I might have did

522
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 5: something something bad. And then that's when they started talking like, oh,

523
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 5: you might have toy your a cl this or that.

524
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 5: I can't. So then I got an MRI the next

525
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 5: day and they told me it was like I was like,

526
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 5: if I would have kept walking on that the way

527
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 5: I was without the crutches and things like that, I

528
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 5: was like, I could have had like severe nerve damage.

529
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 5: It would have been out for like two years. But

530
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 5: I didn't think it was that serious. And they gave

531
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 5: me options. They either go to Dallas and have your surgery,

532
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 5: or you could go to California. I chose Dallas with

533
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: doctor Cooper.

534
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: How about that?

535
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 3: How about that the number of people that Dan Cooper

536
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 3: operates on who don't at the time have anything to

537
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 3: do with the Cowboys is astounding. It must make you

538
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 3: feel good to know that your team doctor right, like

539
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 3: as a full circle moment.

540
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, what was the hardest part about all of that?

541
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 4: About the injury? You know, you go from having such

542
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 4: a great rookie season and then you have a season

543
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: and an injury like that.

544
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I say the hardest part was probably just like

545
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 5: bending it again, because once you have your surgery, it's

546
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 5: pretty much like stuff and like they got to like

547
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 5: put you on your on your stomach and actually like

548
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: try to push it and keep like getting more and

549
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 5: more range. That's that's probably the worst part about the

550
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: whole recovery process. But I feel like mentally, the entire

551
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 5: the whole thing, like just with life and all that.

552
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 5: I feel like mentally that's that's the toughest part, Just

553
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 5: getting over the mental side, like trusting your knee again,

554
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 5: knowing that you can still do all the stuff that

555
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 5: you was doing before you got hurt.

556
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

557
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 5: What kept you going Probably my family. It was with

558
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 5: me the whole time. Yeah, and then I just wanted

559
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 5: to get bad, right.

560
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, it can't be over with it, And

561
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: it didn't get you did get back, but not right away.

562
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: And that that's where we're going to pick up when

563
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 3: we come back. Val Victorian Tage of Antae Williams our

582
00:32:52,080 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 3: Bragg previously on The Cowboys Hour with Javonte Williams. We're

583
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. Javante's coming off an outstanding rookie

584
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: year nine hundred yards, then injured in week five. That's

585
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 3: hit for twenty twenty two. Greaton Since nothing like that

586
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 3: had ever happened to you before you come back to

587
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: camp in twenty three, what were you expecting in terms

588
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,479
Speaker 3: of your own nobility and performance and recovery and all that.

589
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was still I was. I was running and

590
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 5: all that, like cutting and doing all that, but it

591
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 5: was still I was still like kind of nervous about

592
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 5: it as far as like actually getting hit in it,

593
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 5: because just running around and doing little cutting Drews was

594
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 5: one thing. But when you know somebody's gonna tackle you,

595
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 5: and most of times when you get tackled as a

596
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 5: running back, they go straight for your knees, So I'm like, man.

597
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 5: And then the first game of the season that year

598
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 5: was against the Raiders. Again, oh my gosh. But yeah,

599
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 5: it just it took. I'm getting used to It's a

600
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 5: lot tougher than what I feel like what people think though,

601
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 5: just just mentally though, that's the hardest part.

602
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 3: And yet you still had seven hundred and something yards

603
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:10,439
Speaker 3: that year, and statistically you had a better year then

604
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,719
Speaker 3: than you did last year. Tell us about that then,

605
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 3: what was your confidence level going into last year?

606
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like last year it was it was

607
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,800
Speaker 5: pretty much behind me as far as the my knee

608
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 5: being injured and things like that. But like I said,

609
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 5: it's just mental. That's the toughest part, just mentally, especially

610
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 5: after you've seen like the year that you had as

611
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: a rookie and then you come back and don't have

612
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 5: the same type of year that you did the first time.

613
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 5: It's like and then people start talking bad. I mean

614
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: all that going into it. So, yeah, it'd be tough.

615
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 4: How long did it take you to finally get you know,

616
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 4: that thought of you know, your injury out of your head?

617
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 4: Could you say mentally it's kind of tough and that's

618
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 4: something you.

619
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 5: Never experienced before.

620
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: How long did it take you to finally be like,

621
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: all right, let me just play ball.

622
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 5: Yeah? I don't know, because sometimes I mean I still

623
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 5: feel like I think about it. But like I said,

624
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 5: just I mean watching film, just knowing your plays, things

625
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 5: like that, all that stuff going to it too, because

626
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 5: it just it really just helped you slow the game down.

627
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 5: Like I was talking to my coach the other day,

628
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 5: I'm like, in the NFL, it I don't think it's

629
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 5: about like physically, like physically who better and who not,

630
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 5: Who the fastest, who the strongest, who the biggest. I

631
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 5: feel like it's more of a mental game once you

632
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 5: get to the NFL, because everybody big, everybody strong, and

633
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 5: everybody fast. I feel like college probably the last time

634
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,399
Speaker 5: you can just like out out athletes somebody like. Once

635
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 5: you get to the NFL, it's like more like mind games.

636
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 6: I think.

637
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 3: So when last year ended and they did not try

638
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: to bring you back to Denver, did did you see

639
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: that coming?

640
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 5: Kind of? I kind of felt like I was going first.

641
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 4: Thought some being in Dallas when you got the calls

642
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,840
Speaker 4: and you were coming to Dallas, Yeah I was.

643
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 6: I was.

644
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,720
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, that's more like home. Every mommy

645
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 5: more North Carolina than in Denver. I mean, Denver is

646
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 5: like a whole nother vibe. They got their own their

647
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 5: own thing going. But I feel like being here is

648
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,760
Speaker 5: like when I'm used to yourself.

649
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 2: How many other teams were trying to sign it.

650
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 5: It was between here and the Raiders and the raiders.

651
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 3: Had you not learned to stay away from the Raiders.

652
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 2: You said in the spring.

653
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 3: That you were finally feeling like you were back to you,

654
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 3: and you've been pretty consistent about saying that. And I

655
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 3: think we saw last Thursday why you feel that way.

656
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 3: And so I asked you this in the locker room

657
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 3: last week, But I'll ask you again now, do you

658
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 3: feel like you're back to you?

659
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 5: That's sir, I feel like my need being good, Like

660
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 5: like I said, it's really just that mental hurdle that

661
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 5: you got to get over, and just I mean making

662
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 5: plays again, being like feeling like you wanted and then

663
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 5: just competition, competing and actually going out there and doing

664
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 5: doing stuff to give you a boost, like a confidence boost.

665
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 5: I feel like that's all I really needed.

666
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 4: How much of the coaches played a role into kind

667
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 4: of giving you that confidence as well?

668
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 5: Yeah? A lot. Just like I said, Shotty, his Vibe,

669
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 5: coach Foster, really just everybody when they when like when

670
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 5: people speak confidence until you get roll off on you

671
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 5: and the way that you treat and tall the other

672
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 5: people also, So I feel like just non believing in me,

673
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 5: you made me like a whole nother. It made me

674
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 5: feel like myself again, Like you said, so.

675
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: You get to Aux Gard and when when you get

676
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 3: the team, now you're taking first team reps, and guys

677
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 3: take first team reps and don't wind up staying first team.

678
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes they do. So when you didn't play in the

679
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: game in LA the first one, did you kind of know? Okay,

680
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 2: they're they're looking at me? Is the number one guy?

681
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say that I knew.

682
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: I was like, or were you rather or did you?

683
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 2: Did you want to playing that game?

684
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 5: I did? I told CDs I want to play at

685
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 5: least one game before before he played against the Eagles. Uh,

686
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 5: I just want to get tackled like one of the

687
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 5: two times before. But I mean I ended up not

688
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 5: playing any of them, and I still felt good Thursday

689
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:14,439
Speaker 5: and night.

690
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 4: Had you set out in the preseason before?

691
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 5: I think one year I did, but not I never

692
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 5: sat out like all the games. Yeah, maybe like two

693
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 5: of them, but never.

694
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 4: All talk about that battle in training camp.

695
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 5: You know, you come into.

696
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 4: Dallas, it's a loaded backfield competition. Tie just talk about

697
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: you know, the competition day to day, and it's just

698
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 4: how you kind of attacked it.

699
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was definitely a mental game. I mean all

700
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 5: respect to Males Blue and my dogs, but I mean

701
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 5: just going out there and competing, they brought the best

702
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 5: out of all of us. I feel like it made

703
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 5: all of us better. It's still making us better. I mean,

704
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 5: you see what Marles can do when he get the

705
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 5: ball in his hands. He made plays Blue, He definitely

706
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 5: he gonna be a star. And then math Phil Malfa, Hunt,

707
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 5: Coach Foster just I just like the running backroom we

708
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 5: got it. Just keep us all in our toes like

709
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 5: every day, like you know, you can't you can't come

710
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 5: in here playing around because there's other people in here too.

711
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 5: That's just as good.

712
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 2: So what you let's go back to Thursday night.

713
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 3: Now, you've you've played in the NFL, You've succeeded in

714
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 3: the NFL, You've come back from a bad injury in

715
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 3: the NFL.

716
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: Did you have any doubts as.

717
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: You were lining up for the first play or did

718
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: you kind of feel like, okay, all's right with the world.

719
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? Now, I feel like everything was like a line,

720
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 5: like everything was going the right way. But I mean

721
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 5: it's still football. You still got to get out there

722
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 5: and do something and made plays. But like I said,

723
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 5: just watching film. Knowing what's going on. That really it

724
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 5: really takes you a long ways as far as not

725
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 5: being nervous and having confidence. I feel like if you

726
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 5: come in prepared then it's way better than not being prepared.

727
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 5: That's when you really get nervous because you don't you

728
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 5: don't know what's going on. That's how you get hurt. So, uh,

729
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,839
Speaker 5: just not knowing what's going on. You got to it's

730
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 5: a mental game.

731
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: So what what did that first series do for you?

732
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 2: Including power in your way into the end zone?

733
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just felt good. I was like doing it. Yeah,

734
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 5: I can get used to this, Nicole.

735
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: Nicole can correct me.

736
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 3: Did they did they rush for six touchdowns last year

737
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: as a team? H?

738
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 5: Seven?

739
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,919
Speaker 3: I think seven rushing touchdowns as a team. You got

740
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: two like in the first.

741
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 4: Quarter, first and first actually since twenty sixteen Ezekiel Elliott

742
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 4: to rush for a rushing touchdown in a season opener.

743
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 5: Did you know that? Hey?

744
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 2: That done? Nothing that extra go in your contract for that.

745
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 2: It's just a nice thing.

746
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 3: Did tell me how you felt about the especially after

747
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 3: have you watched some of.

748
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 5: The tape or you already watching watched it to do

749
00:40:58,560 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 5: how'd you.

750
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 3: Feel about the run the team running game compared to

751
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 3: what you all wanted to do.

752
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 2: When you look back at it, it's.

753
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 5: Probably a couple of runs. I probably want that just

754
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 5: being like particular, but I mean as far as I

755
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 5: feel like everybody did a good job though. I mean,

756
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 5: the old line did good protecting that. We didn't have

757
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 5: too many penalties. I mean, usually first game of the

758
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 5: season on the road, it could go bad as far

759
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 5: as penalties and things like that, but I feel like

760
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:35,399
Speaker 5: they did good. I feel like the wide receivers showed up.

761
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 5: It's good blocking, tight ends did what they was supposed

762
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 5: to do. The defense played good. I feel like we

763
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 5: just got to put a more complete game together. Though

764
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 5: I feel like the first half of offense, he did

765
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 5: what he was doing. Then we kind of faded away

766
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:51,879
Speaker 5: in the second half, but that's when the defense stepped up.

767
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 5: They gave us like what three or four chances to

768
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 5: go in it. So, I mean, you gotta we got

769
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 5: to compliment each other more.

770
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 4: What's your trust level in this offensive line that's that's

771
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 4: so young. But actually put it together a pretty impressive

772
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 4: performance on Thursday, considering you're going up against one of

773
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 4: the best defensive fronts and the Eagles, even without Jalen Carter.

774
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,719
Speaker 5: Where's your trust level on those guys? Yeah? I trust

775
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 5: them a lot, just seeing the way they played, the

776
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 5: way they showed up, really the whole team, because I

777
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 5: remember when we had a little joint practice against the Rams, Like,

778
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 5: after we had that practice, nobody wasn't really like we

779
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,919
Speaker 5: ain't like how it went at all, But the way

780
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 5: that we came out and played on Thursday, it definitely

781
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 5: gave me confidence because I'm like, we got a high

782
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 5: power offense, Like we scored on the first draft. That's well,

783
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 5: I haven't been a part of offense that really like

784
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 5: scored that easy. But I mean, yeah, we got a

785
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 5: lot of playmakers.

786
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 3: That's that's why you do those things against the Rams,

787
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,319

Speaker 5: all day for the game, I rather to go ahead

831
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 5: and play. But I say night games on more fun.

832
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,400
Speaker 5: But if I had a choice, I already played a.

833
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, but on the road especially, was your damn mind

834
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 3: waiting for the day to go, can't you?

835
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 5: Right?

836
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean all right, let's get some questions from

837
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: the audience right.

838
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 5: Here, good, good evening.

839
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 8: Javonte, My name is Rambo's Let's have a question. So

840
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 8: you all had that break during the storm and The

841
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 8: commentators on TV said that it was a big adjustment coming.

842
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 5: Out of a storm like that.

843
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 8: How different is it to come out of a long

844
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 8: break like that than during like a halftime.

845
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like it's different because that one was unexpected,

846
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 5: Like I didn't even expect to have the lightning delays,

847
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 5: so it kind of caught us all off guard, and

848
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 5: it was already kind of late. I think it was

849
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 5: like eleven songs when it happened. So, I mean, and

850
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 5: then you're just sitting in there waiting for the game.

851
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 5: You don't know when it's gonna start, because at first

852
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 5: they told us it's gonna be like twenty minutes. Then

853
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 5: they came back and said it's gonna be like forty.

854
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:48,800
Speaker 5: So I mean, you just sitting there waiting on know

855
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen. We thought it was gonna schedule it

856
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 5: like reschedule it for the next day. But that's a

857
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 5: prime time game.

858
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no. Did you all get

859
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 2: a little something to eat?

860
00:48:59,080 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 5: And yeah they have.

861
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 3: Oh wait now wait, tell me about that because we've

862
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 3: had mixed reports about that.

863
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 2: What kind of food? How did you get food?

864
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,880
Speaker 5: Oh? Yeah, I think they got it from uh like

865
00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 5: a little concessions. Now I've heard sandwiches.

866
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 2: It was like, yeah, so.

867
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 3: So I uh I heard yesterday maybe that the Trayvon

868
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: Diggs was out in the hallway looking for workers who

869
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 3: were taking food around because there wasn't any at first.

870
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,240
Speaker 3: And then our sideline reporter Christy Scale said that everybody

871
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: went in and there was no food, and so somebody

872
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: found they ordered up a couple of boxes of uncrustables,

873
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,280
Speaker 3: the little peanut butter sandwiches.

874
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

875
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know where they got them so from,

876
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 5: but they were good.

877
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

878
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 3: Sam Williams told me to that tell me what happened

879
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 3: with the offense, because Sam said, I said, you know,

880
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: you guys kindot played so well after the break, did

881
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 3: you do anything different? Did you changed sip? Sam said no,

882
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 3: I don't think we even talked about it. They just said,

883
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, stretching, keep loose. Did you guys do anything?

884
00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's that's all they said. We had to

885
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 5: do like like the weightlifting coaches came in and everybody

886
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:09,879
Speaker 5: like spread out over the locker room and we did

887
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 5: a couple of stretches, went back out, warmed up and

888
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 5: it was time to play the game crazy.

889
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, okay, so you took my question, but I'm

890
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 7: going to be here to ask that question.

891
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 5: Sorry, sorry, sorry.

892
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:23,279

894
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah? I didn't know. I didn't know you had went

895
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 5: and got him. Know, I thought it was just I

896
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:30,759

Speaker 3: I mean Scott and Claire, who run the nutritional program,

901
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 3: do a phenomenal job, but they had no reason to

902
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 3: be prepared for a forty five minute delay in late

903
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,879
Speaker 3: in the third quarter. Yeah, so wherever they came from,

00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 5: just always liked him just growing up, even from when

945
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 5: he was in college.

946
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 3: So if if you had pursued another sport, if God

947
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 3: had said, I'll tell you what, I made you good

948
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 3: at football, but if you would like me to make

949
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,879
Speaker 3: you that good at something else, and you can try

950
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 3: to pursue that, what sport would that have been?

951
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 5: Baseball?

952
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 2: What did you play?

953
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 5: I played third base. I played outfield, and I was

954
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 5: catching for like one year, but due mainly third base

955
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:40,280
Speaker 5: on outfield.

956
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 2: So you got a good arm, hit a breaking ball.

957
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:48,400
Speaker 3: Uh, that's why you're a football player.

958
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:50,359
Speaker 5: Right, I mean nah? In middle school though, I had

959
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 5: probably my seventh grade year, no, my eighth grade year,

960
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 5: I had like twelve home runs. But once I got

961
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,720
Speaker 5: to high school, they started throwing a little too fast.

962
00:53:57,760 --> 00:53:58,959
Speaker 5: I can I can't keep up.

963
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 2: The Was it the eat or was it? Was it

967
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,960

968
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:13,480

969
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 5: I didn't even play baseball.

991
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:08,319

992
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 5: had two horses, actually I saw both of them because

993
00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 5: I just I mean, like when I got my own stuff,

994
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 5: on't really on that I have. Other people have to

995
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 5: go take care of it, and like sometimes the horses

996
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,840

00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna just wait until I got time to just

999
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:24,319
Speaker 5: sit down and chill.

1000
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 4: What made you start liking horses?

1001
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think my granade when growing up, my granite

1002
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 5: used to watch like gun Smoke and Westerns all the time.

1003
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 5: So just seeing horses, I think that's what really made

1004
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 5: me fall in love with them.

1005
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,440

1006
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:41,359

00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 2: have an aspiration to do that again?

1011
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 5: That's it? Probably like once I retired, when I can

1012
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 5: just actually take care of him and be with him

1013

1019
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 5: like a whole pig and you just go up there

1020

Speaker 5: and like take it off while it's on the grill.

1021
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:33,279
