11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: start for me? Probably when I was about four. I

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: remember we had this dog. His name was Lucky, and

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: my mom had him and he was our first dog,

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: her my first dog I seen. I was alive and

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: I just live Lucky. He's just you know what I'm saying,

16
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: just playing around, And that's why I start I love

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: it dogs. Really, when I was like four years old.

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: Just what kind of dog was Lucky? Like you was

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: a Golden Retriever. That's a good first dog. He used

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: to I used to love someone because he's literally was

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: so good at running with the football. So he was

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: like he had these like we had these little nerfball,

23
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: So you were chasing him, to chase him and nobody,

24
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: Me and my little cousins, little brothers, as we got older.

25
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: When Lucky got older, you know, we used to put

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: him in the yard. He had a ball. Nobody can

27
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: touch him. He wouldn't. He took riety and he would

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: like tuck his button everything like he wouldn't let nobody touch.

29
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: This sounds like air but to me, like the movies,

30
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: for real, that's he's our first air bud. That's what

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: he was. But he went this all perpose. He ain't

32
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: play basketball and baseball. He was strictly football. It starts

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: with Lucky. But now you as an adult, grown man,

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: thirteen dogs? Why the number? Why do you keep on

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: just going? Um? To be honest, probably because I walk

36
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: into pet smart or something trying dog food and cut

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: you know what. That's how literally how it starts like um.

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: And then the Rocks had puppies, So then that's how

39
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: we how I kind of got started. And we sold

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: all the puppies and we kept one and then I

41
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: don't know, that's how I started. That's so funny. I

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: feel like that's how everyone wants to just keep collecting,

43
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: like for me when I go to the grocery store,

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, I know I want this, like for you,

45
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: like you know you need dog food. I know I

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: need chicken or whatever. Yeah, I've never had that. How

47
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: do you go about the name? You don't have to

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: go through all thirteen right now, otherwise their podcast will

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: be over. But but how do you go about the

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: selection of the name. So at first, we wanted to

51
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: start with all bees. Um, so my mom, my mom

52
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: had a dog. His name was Z. He just passed away,

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: but he was our oldest dog. He was him in

54
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: sixth grade, but Z right, So Z was our first dog.

55
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,959
Speaker 1: And after Z, I got beautiful, and I wanted to

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: start all bees, right, So that's how I got started.

57
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: Then bees and bees and beast going bees and bees,

58
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: and then I couldn't think it's gonna be more be names.

59
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 1: I can image, like look in the dictionary, like okay,

60
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: maybe that, So then it started. Then we gotta we

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: got a German chepd her name was Her name is

62
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: Lady right, So then we wanted to have her and

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: our other dogs sir. We got sir to made with

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: her or whatever. Um, so we just thought of like

65
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: lady and sir, Like, that's how it's gonna start, like ladies, sir.

66
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Then yeah, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's just

67
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: crazy how I don't know how we'll started coming both it.

68
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Then one of our dogs name, I would get interesting

69
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: dog names. So then we gotta dog name five. Right.

70
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Do you don't know why her name is five? You

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: have any idea? And I don't want to be wrong

72
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: and guess wrong. I don't want to guess all right,

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: So she literally are the fifth puppy like in her litter.

74
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: So that's why I named her five. It was just

75
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: literally that like, because I literally couldn't even think of

76
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: at the time of name for because I wanted to.

77
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to her because she was the smallest dog

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: in the letter to it. I just fell in love

79
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: with her, you know what I'm saying. So um, she

80
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, all right, we're gonna name

81

82
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,120

00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,719
Speaker 1: The mike up thing was huge, um because people I

168
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,439

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: am off the field, you know what I mean. People

00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,040

00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: hear about me in the media, you know, but don't

00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: really know my personality, like just on a daily basis,

174
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: you know. Not think I'm gonna use my YouTube to

176
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 1: like lady on, build a person, you know, not just

177
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: the football player. Yeah, it's interesting that the guys that

178
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: you took a watch at prior to your first game

179
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: with the Jets, Barry Sanders, he he was always your guy, right,

180
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: my favorit running back, My favorit running back. Yeah, and

181
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: I know he loved the Curtis Martin growing up. But

182
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: what stood out to you about Barry Barry He's a

183
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't really understand. But it was

184
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: his patience, right. It was like this draw play they

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: was running with the Detroit lines. I have no idea

186
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: how they were running it, but it was like the

187
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: quarterback could dropped back. Barry Sandral really just wait back

188
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: there they're handing the ball. Then it's like he can

189
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: pick either way to go. And I feel like he

190
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: just was never wrong, like on that draw play, you know,

191
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong. He I think he

192
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: he had the most ours loss in his career, right,

193
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: but he was literally losing the yards and try to

194
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: gain yards. That's that's literally what it was. It was

195
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: like I respect that, like I he was going for

196
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: the checkler everything. But he's like literally my favorite runner,

197
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, and um just about you know, he had

198
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: patience that change the directions unbelievable. I don't even know

199
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: how he was doing it. And um, and his balance,

200
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: his balance was his balance and his vision was really

201
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: uh I think underrated, you know, um, but that's what

202
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: really made him who He was his balance, vision and

203
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: obviously everybody knows about his change direction. And Barry Sanders

204
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 1: really wasn't like the fastest guy, but he was fast

205
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: enough to get you know, to break a long run.

206
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: But he wasn't really the fastest guy. He didn't really

207
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: depend on his speed. He changed he he depended on

208
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: his change direction and his vision and his patience. Man,

209
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: we talked about this before, but I go back and

210
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: speaking about highlights. I look at you at Michigan State

211
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: and well that's a big, bruising back. Two fifty. You're

212
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: totally transformed, man. And every time I see you on

213
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: the football field now, as we saw against the Buffalo

214
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Bills in the season opener, you're so explosive. When you

215
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: look back at your metamorphosis as far as wherever you

216
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: come from, believable, it's unbelievable. So were on Friday. We

217
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: was in the team meeting or not the team in

218
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 1: the running backs room. UM in the meeting, and we

219
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: was watching my Michigan State highlights and all the running

220
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: backs like, whoa, that's you. I was like, no, like,

221
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: but it's crazy because my running style was the same.

222
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: It's just I was a lot slower and I was stronger.

223
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: Like I was obviously strong because I was bigger. So

224
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: D'Antonio had you in the weight room. Yeah you're just crushing,

225
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: but you're probably heavy heavy, squat, heavy bench every time,

226
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: you know. And it was just crazy because when I

227
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: look at it was like I still had the moves,

228
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: you know. I was still spinning and you jump over

229
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: people like not a breakout game. I was still doing

230
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: all that. It was just now it's now I'm a

231
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: lot more explosive. Now I'm a lot quicker. And I

232
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: think this over the course of my person of my career,

233
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: from my junior year to my rookie year to my

234
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: second year in the league, I just understood, like, oh yeah,

235
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: I could be a better player if I just make

236
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: me be a little quicker, a little more explosive, you know,

237
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: not have to depend on just if it's a fire

238
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: I run. But I could have been fifteen, you know

239
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's the difference, you know, because you

240
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: want to be explosive in this game, right everybody's not

241
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: really looking for the big rules and back no more,

242
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: you know. And I understood that. I knew I could

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: catch passes out of the back field, I could run routes,

244
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: but I knew people wouldn't really go look at me

245
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: like that if I was to forty. You know what

246
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I know how to get down to um.

247
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: Your Your story is unbelievably, it's unbelievable as far as

248
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: the trajectory you were too star recruiters coming out of

249
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: high school. You carry that chip to this day? Do

250
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: I do? Just because of the fact that I know

251
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: where I came from and I know you know, a

252
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of people doubted me. I just remember in high

253
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: school just walking around the hallways and I was, you know,

254
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: my close friends and I was talking to They knew

255
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: where my goal was and my dream was to go

256
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: to NFL and stuff. But I don't think a lot

257
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: of people would believed it, you know, um or believed

258
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: I could do it, you know, even you know my

259
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: high school coaches. You know, you got a couple of

260
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: them who maybe I knew I could do it or whatever.

261
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: But it's just like I remember, the only person who

262
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: was really always in my corner with my like my mom.

263
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 1: Like my mom was making sure like any camp that

264
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to, like if I wanted to

265
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 1: go to Penn State camp or like Akriant Camp or

266
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: Ohio camp or whatever, she made sure she saved up

267
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: enough money, you know, so so we can travel and

268
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: go to the camp, you know, and I can kind

269
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 1: of showcase my talent and then try to get a scholarship.

270
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 1: You know, my mom was like in my corner the

271
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: whole time, pushing me. She still is. She means everything

272
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: to everything, like literally everything, because she was here when

273
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: you signed. I signed, yep, when I signed, like She's

274
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna be right there at the whole time, the whole time.

275
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: Is it true that Ohio State in West Virginia recruited

276
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: you to play safety? Yes, West Virginia and Michigan Virginia

277
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: and Michigan Ohio State, it would recruit me for like

278
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: both sides, Yeah, both sides. Um, they was gonna give

279
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: me an opportunity at running back. But they didn't get

280
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: an offer from none of those schools, like no scholarship

281
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: from none of those schools. Do you remind Jamal Adams

282
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: that they were coming after you to play safety? HEYT

283
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: worried about that, worry about that. I did not want

284
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: to place they Do you ever think about like for

285
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: someone that's so go, go go, you always bring in

286
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: the energy. You have so many things to do, whether

287
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: it be music, video games, whatever it is. You ever

288
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: take a second and think from even what was talking about,

289
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: even when you were two forty five or a high

290
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: school kid too, star, You ever take a thing or

291
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: take a second to think about like where you are

292
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: now and how different that is even though it's probably

293
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago. I do you know,

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: and I mean it was born a couple of years ago.

295
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: One of those things it feels like yesterday, but it

296
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: also feels like forever if it definitely flew by, Like

297
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong, It's like sometimes it'll

298
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: take like me watching like on Friday, me watching the

299
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: Mission State Highlight, and then I'll think about, like that

300
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: is crazy. I was too forty and then I had

301
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: to really transform my body, had to go on this diet.

302
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: And ever since I went on that diet, you know,

303
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: from my from my junior year, going into my training,

304
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: going into my rookie year, ever since I started that diet,

305
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: it changed my life because it's like that's my lifestyle now,

306
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: Like I eat totally different now, you know. So it's

307
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: just crazy, how like just from me like trying to

308
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: change my mindset from my junior year going to the NFL,

309
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: from my rookie year, my whole my whole mindset has

310
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: changed on the way I eat or what I eat

311
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: or what I drink and put it in my body,

312
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, and it may be literally who are person

313
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: out in the day, you know, I'm glad that it happened.

314
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: When it happened, I was a twenty year old kid

315
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: who made the decision. Now I'm sitting here in twenty

316
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: seven and it made me a person At the end

317
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: of the day, did you feel like you were back

318
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: home again when you put the pads on, you came

319
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: out of that tunnel, you got the ovation, you got

320
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: twenty three touches. I like the fact that you got

321
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: twenty three touches. I think some of the great athletes

322
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 1: we've ever seen, and you know, for me, it was

323
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: always Michael Jordan's and I we talked about I'm Jay

324
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: last week kind of hurt when I'm Jay went away

325
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: from the game for a little bit and we didn't

326
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: see him. But when he came back, you know, that

327
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: was something else and you were back where you were

328
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: meant to be on the field, and it felt and

329
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 1: it felt good, you know, because I just know, I

330
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: just remember waking up on that day, waking up yesterday

331
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: and just getting on like my normal my phone, like

332
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: a normal day is looking at my auto text messages

333
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: I had going on Twitter, Instagram, just like so many

334
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: people were just ready for that day, you know, and

335
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: it felt it felt amazing to me. You know. I

336
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: remember when I'm in the warm ups, I'm just thinking, like, man,

337
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: we're almost there, and I'm just trying to stay calm.

338
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm like trying to stay calm, but it's like

339
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: everything give me is like, bro, can we just play

340
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: football already? Like you know what I'm saying. Like I

341
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: was just already to play because it felt it has

342
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: been a long time coming, you know, so um, I

343
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: had to sit out all the preseason games and be

344
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: out there with my guys and rout them all and stuff.

345
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: So it just felt good to be out there with him,

346
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,719
Speaker 1: you know. And obviously not the outcome we wanted, you know,

347
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: but we wanted to make I made sure that, Like,

348
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I got out of the game healthy

349
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: and I was actually able to play the game again,

350
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 1: you know, and I had fun doing it. You know,

351
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: that game was fun. It was a rivalry game, you know,

352
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: guys out there having fun, you know, and uh, we're

353
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna get back to the drawing board and

354
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: get everything right. But I'm just glad that, you know,

355
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually back in the midst of things. She getting

356
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: my body when I woke up this morning, I was happy.

357
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: I was sure. Yeah, I was like, oh yeah, hurt,

358
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: I'm back. Was her favorite play, I mean the touchdown catch.

359
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: Obviously you get back in that and so on and

360
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: and that was a beautiful Brad. But you you had

361
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: a couple of runs out there, including fourth, and gave

362
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: your team a chance to still gain victory. I never

363
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: run my favorite how about backed up? I mean those

364
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: like one of my favorite runs, my favorite play. It

365
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: was like a third and seven or something and we

366
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: threw it the crowder, but I had a blitz pick up. Yeah,

367
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're talking about, and dude trying

368
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: to buy rush and I smack him so hard, like

369
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: that was my favorit play because it's like people must

370
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: have forgotten this, this is what I take prior to

371
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I take pride and you know, blocking like blitz pick

372
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: up and people trying to buy rush me. I'm like, no,

373
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: that's not happening. Yeah, you're about to do that, and

374
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: you got praised for it on Hard Knocks. Yeah yeah,

375
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: because that's somethingbody lookally like more than like a tenure run.

376
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: I take way more pride than like pick picking up

377
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: a blitz, especially like a good rusher or something and

378
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: blocking them because that's literally like me versus you. You

379
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like if I get a good run.

380
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it takes my read and stuff, but I

381
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: depend on everybody up front. You gotta make sure Sam

382
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: put me in the right play. The guys and I'll say,

383
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 1: I gotta do their jobs, you know what I'm saying.

384
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: It's like a collected thing and it's like a good

385
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: run that goes. But when it comes to blitz pick up,

386
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: and I know it's it's me verse one, diy, it's

387
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: me versus you, and I win that. That's just that's pride,

388
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And a lot of guys

389
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: don't really take that, you know, or that prideful about

390
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: the bit pick up, you know. And that's what I

391
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: think separates me from a lot of running backs because

392
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: I'm not letting my quarterback get hit. You know what

393
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm not gonna happen. You have an infectious personality.

394
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: Your teammates have gravitated towards you. I think you got

395
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: miscast maybe because of people's misconceptions of what happened in Pittsburgh.

396
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: You have a lot of love for a number of things.

397
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: But make no mistake, he loved playing football. Anybody who

398
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: goes out there and watches you a practice. You don't.

399
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: You have to have to be out there in game.

400
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: You love the game, and uh, you're off to a

401
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 1: good start. I know you guys didn't get the I'll

402
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: come you want it, but you look like the vintage

403
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Levy on bout. I think good things are. I agree.

404
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: I just want to know one thing before we wrap up.

405
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: The defense got called out individually this past game, Like

406
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: when in player introductions, if the offense does it and

407
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: it's you, where's your hype level there? Yeah? I figured

408
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 1: like undescribable. I think maybe that's why we got introduced first,

409
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: because they noticed money night game. Okaying, all right, that's

410
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: all we have the Official Jets podcast, leave us a review,
