10
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we didn't see this coming. Yes, this was like

11
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: the quietest free agent siding maybe ever. I saw Pittsburgh

12
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: at one point being speculated. I saw several teams being speculated.

13
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: Right, how did this happen?

14
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: Well, you know, obviously I kind of wanted to keep

15
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 3: it quiet, just the whole process.

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Obviously, it's been a lot just the past.

17
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: Two years after tearing my quad, you know, mentally and

18
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 3: physically going through that, that was a lot, and you know,

19
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: I just kind of wanted to step away and just

20
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: kind of handle my business, grind and keep my head

21
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: down and you know, obviously look for the right the

22
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: right fit for me, and obviously, you know, just knowing

23
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: that Dinard Wilson, uh, you know was coming over to

24
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 3: the Titans and it was going to be to DC,

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: it was a no brainer for me.

26
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 4: All Right. We've got to know about Dinard a little

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 4: bit because you have played for him before, right, tell

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: us why that was so intriguing to you, why you

29
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 4: wanted to work for him again?

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: Basically, Well, you know, he drafted me.

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: You know that goes a long way, right, So he

32
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: drafted me back when I was twenty one. I'm twenty

33
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: eight now, uh, you know, time flies and I'm going

34
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 3: into year eight. And this has always been his dream

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: job of what he wanted to do, what was his goal.

36
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 3: He was always trying to achieve that day in day out,

37
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 3: and he's always set the standard. He's had his standard

38
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: at a high, you know level. There was nothing that

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 3: we were going to change his rules or you know

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: it's not gonna work, you know what I mean. So

41
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: he's just really competitive, a guy that loves ball and

42
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 3: a guy that you know he's gonna get the best

43
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: out of you.

44
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about what he's going to bring

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator, right, you know because you played

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: for him twenty seventeen through twenty nineteen with the Jets.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: What is he going to bring is the defensive coordinator.

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 3: He gonna bring energy, He's gonna bring everything out that

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: you could imagine. He's trying to bring the best out

50
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: of the player, each player. He's trying to reach everybody

51
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: because it's you know, it's one team, one heartbeat, right,

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: So you know, for him, his philosophy is being a dog,

53
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: but being smart, being in a controlled environment, you know,

54
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: not getting too hype, not getting too low, but staying

55
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 3: even kelled, and you know, just being being be in

56
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: a tactful That's what it's about.

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 4: That relationship also must be enticing to you to want

58
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 4: to be with a guy that you already know what

59
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: he's about, you know what he's bringing, and to be

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,559
Speaker 4: on the ground level of building something new perhaps.

61
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean I think that again, he's just

62
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: a guy that's he's going to ask his players to

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: hold a certain standard, you know what I mean. He's

64
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: he's not gonna waiver off of that. You know, he

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: has a standard that has always worked. It's worked for

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 3: me and players before me, players after me. He's just

67
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: that guy that's going to bring.

68
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: It out of you.

69
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: You mentioned you're an older player. Now, how are you different?

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: Which is crazy? Right right right right, not.

71
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 4: Here, no judgment as a veteran player, as a guy

72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 4: that's been around for a while, How different are you

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: than the guy that worked with Dinard in New York?

74
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: Oh?

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 3: Man, it's totally different, you know what I mean. Obviously

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm older now. You know a lot of things back

77
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: in the day that I thought was cool was not

78
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: cool anymore, or whatever.

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: Case may be.

80
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: It's just the growth of life, right, just going through

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: trials and tribulations. But obviously just a smarter football player.

82
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: And you know, obviously seeing two different schemes and going

83
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 3: through different coaching staffs, just learning different ball in different

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: angles of how everybody coaches.

85
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: In different ways.

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: There's not everybody coaches, you know, the exact way, or

87
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: they have their scheme or whatever it might be. But

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: Denard has always stayed the same. His scheme has always

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: been to fit the players. And that's what makes him special.

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: What are the Tennessee Titans going to ask Jamal Adams

91
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: to do in this defense?

92
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 3: Well, you know, hey, I don't know that yet, Okay.

93
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: I don't know that yet, but I'm excited to learn

94
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: my role.

95
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 2: You know.

96
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: For me, man, I just want to come in and

97
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: earn the respect of my teammates, you know, keep my

98
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: head down. I'm not trying to come and cause you know,

99
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: ruckus or anything like that. I'm just here to play ball,

100
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: you know. So with a coach like Deanard, I know

101
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 3: I'm locked in. I'm locked in for the journey.

102
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: But you're a name. I mean, you're a brand in

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: this league. I heard someone refer to you on the

104
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: radio one day when I was driving, says, oh, Jamal Adams,

105
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: he's the punisher, And I said, good. I mean, if

106
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna do what you do, absolutely So is this

107
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: just a bit of a reset for you at this Yeah?

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: I think it's like a fresh start.

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: You know, obviously just being at the top of the

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 3: the NFL for so long and obviously injury happens and

111
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: then you go down and you hit rock bottom and

112
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 3: then you know you're just kind of climbing back up.

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 2: So for me, it's it's a restart.

114
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: Man.

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: I wanted the perfect fit. The main thing for me

116
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: was just about coaching skin. Who are the coaches, how

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: are they coaching, how are they going to get the

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 3: best out of their players?

119
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: Like, That's what it was for me.

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: It wasn't really about money, it wasn't about anything like that.

121
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: It was more so about Denor Wilson, Jack Frank Bush

122
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: Ran guys like that.

123
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: The people in the building. That's what attracted me the most.

124
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 4: Why is the people part the most important part?

125
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: Relationships matter?

126
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: They matter so much in this game of football, right,

127
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: So for me, just over the years of keeping contact

128
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: with these guys and talking football.

129
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: And seeing their journey of where they're going.

130
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: Coach coach here, coach here or wherever, you know, head

131
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: coaching jobs and DC jobs, dB jobs. Just to see

132
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: those guys, you know, flourishing and doing what they're doing.

133
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 3: It's a special thing.

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: And as a player, you know, all I can do

135
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: is respect it.

136
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: So a lot of Titans fans may not know the

137
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: total story. You're in New York for three years. Yes,

138
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: you're traded to Seattle in a blockbuster trade on July

139
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty twenty. Yes, sir, you have this incredible

140
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: season with the Seahawks nine and a half sacks, most

141
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: ever for a safety. Come back and play well again.

142
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: The next year, first game of twenty twenty two, you

143
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: tear your quad to the point that you you're in

144
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: a cast for twenty week.

145
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: Twenty weeks, you could put it like that, if not

146
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 3: a little bit more, you know, that was the time again. Man,

147
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: It just it brought me down as far as just

148
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: very humbly.

149
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: Man.

150
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: You know, that's that's not forget the game of football,

151
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: that's life situations, right, not being able to walk, not

152
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: being able to be you know, to use the restaurroom

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: by myself, or to shower by myself, or whatever the

154
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: case may be. That was always, you know, tough for me,

155
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: getting out the bed and things like that. You know,

156
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: missing a year of football definitely took a toll on me, right,

157
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 3: and I obviously knew I was gonna get back out there.

158
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: It just was gonna take a lot of hard work

159
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,680

00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 4: As we've talked about how you've evolved over the years,

164
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,680

165
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: lows not only impacts you as a man, but also

166
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 4: you as a leader within the group. Right, That's got

167
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 4: to be something that you're going to be bringing to

00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: this team is the full gamut of life experiences. How

169
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,800

180
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: when I get there that I just I'm too cool,

181
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: or I don't want to give game to the younger guy,

Speaker 2: Just so much energy that's him, day in day out.

257
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: It does not change. What you see is what you get.

Speaker 3: to tag team again. It's gonna be so much fun.

260
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: So free agency started with an l s U guy,

261
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: and right now it's an LSU guy bookending it, although

262
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: some more will probably come. Y Cushion Barry, the center

263
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 1: coming over from Denver, probably missed him at Alan, But man,

264
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,320

265
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 3: Phenomenal player, even better person, you know what I mean.

266

267
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 3: a new home for him.

268
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 2: And I know all all all the L.

270
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 3: you can. You can bank on that, all right.

271
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: So your dad, George Adams, I remember well as a

272
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: running back from Kentucky, played with Rand Carthon's dad Mo

273
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: Carthon in the same backfield with the giants.

274
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Small world, Small world World.

275
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 3: It's just crazy how it just it comes to where

276
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 3: we are now. The fact that Dennar Wilson and the

277
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 3: crew is here, and then Ran is here, and then

278
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: he you know, his his dad played with my dad

279
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 3: and they have a picture together, you know, at a concert.

280
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: It's just it's crazy how it just comes back around, right,

281
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: And I just think that's that's God. That's just God talking,

282
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: and you know everything happens for a reason, all right.

283
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: So let's wrap up with this. I mean, you know

284
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 1: what people are going to say, he's only played ten

285
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: games the last two years. You get that people may

286
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: not totally realize the extent of the injury. As to

287
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: why do you feel like you have something to prove?

288
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 2: Are you coming with.

289
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: That chip on the shoulder?

290
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's I've always had a chip

291
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: on my shoulder for a long long time. I think

292
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 3: for me, it's more so just I'm not trying to

293
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: prove anybody wrong. I'm also trying to prove myself right, yeah, right,

294
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: And I'm trying to get back out there to prove

295
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: myself that I'm still that guy and I still can

296
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 3: play right. And you know, whether anybody believes in me

297
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: or not, as long as I believe in myself, that's

298
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: what matters. And for me, as long as I have

299
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 3: that positive outlook and I go out there and give

300
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: it my all, that's all I can ask for.

301
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Why have you been such a good blitzer throughout your career?

302
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: Good question? Are you so good at that?

303
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 3: I think, uh, you know, just through the through the

304
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 3: you know, the game of how it is now, like

305
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 3: just understanding certain tips and clues of when.

306
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: To get off the rock and how to attack blockers

307
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: and and things like that.

308
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: You know, I'm I'm the type of guy I'm I'm

309
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: down there with the d lineman and I'm I'm asking

310
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: questions or I'm going through drills with them.

311
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: I'm seeing how they're blitzing or whatever their.

312
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 3: Angle is so I can come around the more I

313
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: can wrap around whatever the case may be. I think

314
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,160
