26
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 6: a player's dream. It's it's designed in a way where

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 6: you want to be here longer. You know, you want

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 6: to go in the cafeteria, eat long you stay longer,

29
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 6: you want to go in the training room and get

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 6: proper work done, and in the weight room. I mean,

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 6: it's just desirable for any NFL player that wants to

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 6: prolong their career.

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 1: Playing Chris, as you're going through your career and you

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: talked about playing Sundays are awesome, I mean playing from

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: the crowd, I mean Monday Night's, Sundays whatever, they're awesome.

36
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: But the prep that goes into it is that the

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: is that the grind that's so hard to get through

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of guys where they're just like, man,

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm just done, Like I love Sundays, but man, Monday

40
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: through Saturday, those are pretty tough.

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 7: I don't know I can go through that.

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: Is that is that kind of how a lot of

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: guys that have played in the league look at it, like, Hey, Man,

44
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: I can go play again, but I don't want to

45
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: go through the whole week.

46
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 7: Of practice and all that nonsense.

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Sundays Sundays are fun.

48
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 6: You enjoy that there's no stress because the stress, you know,

49
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 6: it hits you during the week, right when it's hot outside.

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 6: You outside in pads peak weather, right peak sun, and

51
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 6: it's it's like, dude, it's so hot outside. I don't

52
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 6: really want to be out there. But you know that's

53
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 6: the grind going ones versus ones. Right when I was here,

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 6: going against your davy and clowny JJ Widde or Whitney

55
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 6: merciless like that was the grind for me. So I

56
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 6: had to come to work and that is you know,

57
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 6: you feel like if it was just Sundays. You have

58
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 6: a lot of guys playing fifteen years that can play twenty,

59
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 6: it would be like le Bron Jay's trying to trying

60
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 6: to keep going. Man.

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 7: But yeah, that.

62
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 6: That that week up into it, man, you really have

63
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 6: to work and get it done.

64
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: Chris Clark joining US former Texans offensive lineman. So you

65
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: got it to the league in eight an undrafted free agent.

66
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 3: So the Texans have some of those you're can identify

67
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: with what they're going through. What was that like for

68
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: you with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the time, because

69
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: you didn't join the Texans until twenty fifteen through twenty seventeen,

70
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: then had another stint in twenty nineteen, so you managed

71
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: to carve out quite the career really as an undrafted

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: free agent. Very impressive. What was that initial time like

73
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: for you in this league?

74
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: It was it was rough. For me.

75
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 6: It was rough only because I was my hardest critic.

76
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: I was my hardest critic, and my mom always told me,

77
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 6: you know, judge yourself the hardest. Don't let someone else

78
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 6: judge you harder than you judge yourself. So for me

79
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: man being undrafted, you know, getting calls on draft day

80
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 6: talking to teams like we want a drafted You're on

81
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 6: our draft board. You're a second day type guy. I had,

82
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 6: you know, good expectations that I was going to be drafted.

83
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,119
Speaker 6: So when it didn't happen, immediately, I had a chip

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 6: on my shoulder. I was pissed and I held on

85
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 6: to that. So you asked why I was able to

86
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: place so long, It's because even going into year twelve,

87
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 6: I felt like the eight kid. I felt like I

88
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 6: wasn't good enough even when I was the starter right

89
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 6: one year I had, I gave up one sack the

90
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 6: whole year, didn't make the Pro Bowl, and.

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 5: All of it.

92
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 6: I just felt like I was never good enough or

93
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 6: they always were going to replace me. And it was

94
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 6: feel of my fire. So I tell guys now when

95
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 6: I talk to them, Hey, make sure right you know

96
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 6: why you're doing this. Make sure that you're in this

97
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 6: right for the right reasons, because if you lose sight

98
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 6: of that, you know why you're doing this or what's

99
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 6: important to you, And I promise you, it's going to

100
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 6: be over for you. You disrespect the game, and it's over

101
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 6: for you. I don't care how good you are, all

102
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 6: pro whatever. Soon as that chink of on, that chink

103
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 6: of Alma shows and you disrespect the game a little bit,

104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 6: that's it.

105
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: Wow, Chris Famously And I don't know if you ever

106
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 1: watched Hard Knocks in twenty fifteen, but one of the

107
00:04:54,880 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: moments in Hard Knocks is Rick Smith driving somewhere and

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: he's making the trade, basically consummating trade to bring you

109
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: to Houston. I don't know if you've ever seen that.

110
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: If you have your thoughts on that, but also just

111
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: your initial thoughts when you when you come here to

112
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Houston in twenty fifteen. You know, it's a team that

113
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: you ended up going to the playoffs that year, but

114
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: it was not the greatest team, but it was a

115
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: team that were grind To me, it was a pretty

116
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: physical team. But your thoughts about that moment seeing on

117
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: a hard knocks seeing kind of your life kind of

118
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: play out in a sense in the NFL, and then

119
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: coming to Houston for the first time.

120
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 7: What was that like?

121
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: So it was cool?

122
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 8: Man.

123
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 6: So honestly, I didn't know I was being traded, but

124
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 6: it happened a week after we played you guys, right,

125
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 6: we played the Texans right in Denver, that's right, and

126
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 6: you got We threw in acept and I chased the

127
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 6: guy down It was like eighty yards. I forgot what

128
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 6: the guy name was, but I chased the defensive end

129
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 6: that caught the intercept down right, and if you give me.

130
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: Five more yards, hey, out of cold, right.

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 6: But you know, that's why I ended up getting traded,

132
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 6: and Bill O'Brien wanted me when he saw, you know,

133
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 6: as late as it wasn't again, this offensive lineman is

134
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 6: running and actually trying to get this guy, and he

135
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,960

Speaker 6: Uh, I won on one pass rush, you know, and

159
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 6: I beat him right, and they was like, bro, we

160
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 6: never saw that happening with like that, you know. So

161
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, because I had just played against

162
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 6: him in the precincts, so I knew a little bit

163
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 6: about his game. And but yeah, it was it was

164
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 6: just one of those things, man. While I was excited,

165
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 6: and it gave me a chance to be close to home, right,

166
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 6: originally from New Orleans, and you know, I've played in Minnesota, Tampa, Denver.

167
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: I've always been super far, not driving distance.

168
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 6: So this was the first time I was able to

169
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 6: be driving distance from my family and I would have

170
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 6: almost twenty people at every game.

171
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 7: It was.

172
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 5: It was truly amazing ticket.

173
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I lost money during the week, yeah, you know,

174
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 6: buying all those tickets up, but it was worth there

175
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 6: because my family didn't get a chance to see me play,

176
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 6: you know, because of the travel.

177
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: We'll get into why you settled into Houston. But playing

178
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: left tackle and right tackle, you've done both. And we

179
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: saw Blake Fisher drafted last year and he's a right tackle,

180
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: I guess, but playing them at left during training camp

181
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: because Laramie was not available to practice, so they said,

182
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 3: go over there left and try your luck with the starters.

183
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 3: And we've seen it from time to time with other

184
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 3: players and Ursery who they just picked up. Well, I

185
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: don't know if he'll play left or not, or right

186
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: or guard. What do you think of all that playing

187
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: different positions on the old line? And how hard is

188
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: it to play left versus right because you're still getting

189
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 3: a fire breathing, speed, demon pass rusher whether you're playing

190
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 3: right tackle or left tackle in most cases in this league.

191
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 6: Absolutely, And for my guys that dude know about it,

192
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 6: they know that it's super hard. It is not the

193
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 6: same thing. Yeah, you literally have to use different muscles.

194
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 6: Your strength and dominant hand is the other side now,

195
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 6: So it's it's it's it's a lot, right. It's imagine

196
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 6: if you you play, you play tennis right and you

197
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 6: hitting the ball with your right hand, you back handed

198
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 6: you hitting it, and then now you break your right hand,

199
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 6: so now you can still do it, but you have

200
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 6: to train that left hand the same way. Right, So

201
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 6: it would be really tough. You can still go out

202
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 6: there and play because you can move, but it would

203
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 6: be a lot harder, right, So I kind of it's

204
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 6: kind of just like that, and it's it's a thing

205
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: that can be learned, but you have to put into work.

206
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 6: You have to be a stickler about wanting to get

207
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 6: better at that position. And you know, I only know

208
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 6: that because being undrafted. You never know. If you're not

209
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 6: drafted for that position, you might as well say you

210
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 6: play everything because wherever you need it, you have to

211
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,239
Speaker 6: go in and perform.

212
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: Oh, guard center, sixth linemen as a tight end, got

213
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 2: to do it all.

214
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: There's no question. Okay, I'm gonna take you back to

215
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: something spar with me for this. So twenty fourteen, we

216
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: go up to Denver for joint practices. Things get kind

217
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: of heated in one on once there's a particular defensive

218
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: lineman on the Texans side and tackle for the Broncos

219
00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: that were kind of getting.

220
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 7: Into a little bit.

221
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, the next year they end up being teammates. So, hey,

222
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: what happened with you and JJ Watt and fourteen those

223
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: joint practices, Now of a sudden, you guys got to

224
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: be teammates.

225
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 7: Now your offense defense.

226
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you guys co exists in

227
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: the same world being offense defense, But do.

228
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,119
Speaker 7: You make amends?

229
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: Do you discuss it is it? Naw, man, he's on

230
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: my team, but I still don't like him. How do

231
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: you kind of handle a situation like that, Chris, where

232
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: you guys got heat. It got heated with you guys

233
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: in one on ones, but now a sudden your teammates

234
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: the next year, How cain do you go through that moment?

235
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was definitely a moment.

236
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 6: You know, we got into it, man, and just like

237
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 6: you know guys that do it right, it's hot out there,

238
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 6: everybody's pissed off and it's one of those things. And

239
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 6: I'm not going to go into the details about it

240
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 6: because it was it was, you know, one of those days,

241
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 6: but you know it happens. It happens on every team

242
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 6: and you've seen it, and it was it was it

243
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 6: is one of those things where they had to take

244
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: him out of practice because it was an ongoing thing, right,

245
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 6: So the textans ended up taking him out of practice

246
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 6: because we kept getting into it.

247
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna stop he you know, It's just one

248
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 5: of those things.

249
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 6: And yeah, getting getting uh coming here was a little strange,

250
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 6: but uh, you know, I was cool with it because

251
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 6: once I'm done with something, I'm done with it, and

252
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 6: I thought he would have been the same way, but

253
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 6: it lingered on a little while, and you know, just

254
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 6: being honest, he he didn't talk to me for a while,

255
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 6: you know, and then uh, you know, it kept going.

256
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 6: But we didn't have much conversation. But we were teammates,

257
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 6: you know, at the end of the day. So I'm

258
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: sure you know, he knows how it is. And but yeah,

259
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think it's ever been mended to be.

260
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 4: But really, yeah, you kind of.

261
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's one of those telling you man.

262
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: I listened to Seth Payne listened to Seth talk about

263
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman on the daily basis he ain't an offensive

264
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: lineman on his own team.

265
00:11:59,360 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 7: You know.

266
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like there's just something there when you're in

267
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: a physical one on one confrontation that I mean is heated.

268
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: And as as Seth would say about offensive lineman, they

269
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: did some sneaky stuff. And then I would imagine from

270
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: your side, defensive lineman did some sneaky stuff too.

271
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 3: So if I produced JJ Watt right now, and I'm

272
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: not going to this is not like some frize game

273
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: show stuff, but if I did, you guys, would you

274
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 3: guys bury it now?

275
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 7: Maybe.

276
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I mean he he probably said he

277
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: it's nothing wrong.

278
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 6: I don't even remember that, you know, something like that,

279
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 6: but you remember it, you know what I'm saying.

280
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 5: It's just one of those things.

281
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 6: And when he had the ceremony, I came and he

282
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 6: shook my hand and everything like that. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,

283
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 6: it was all good. So a grown men, all right,

284
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 6: you get over it. It was just something that happened back

285
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 6: then or whatever. But knowing that just happened and then

286
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 6: he gets traded here, right, that puts a bad taste

287
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 6: in his mind.

288
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 5: Yeah. So you know, just it's uh, just one of

289
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: those things.

290
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, those one on ones that oh you

291
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: remember watching those and I'm like, damn, And then I

292
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: remember when you got traded. I remember that. I was like, damn, man,

293
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: Chris got after it that day. It's gonna be good,

294
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, like that's what I pointed to,

295
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: was like there were there wasn't There weren't a lot

296
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: of people because JJ was coming off you know that

297
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: fourteen season where nobody blocked him, like nobody, I mean,

298
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: like he was, you know, peak JJ, and yet you're

299
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: getting after with him in practical I'm like, man, it's

300
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: gonna be good, you know, and then we're seeing it

301
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: all like play out on Hard Knocks, which obviously is

302
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: a week after. But I remember when it was announced

303
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: because we knew about you know, we knew guys were

304
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: hurting me, Like now he's traded for Chris Clark.

305
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, but it's gonna be good.

306
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: And it ended up being you know, you ended up

307
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: being a key piece on those offensive lines when we

308
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: really needed you.

309
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 7: So but I don't think people.

310
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Really understand, like it gets so like there're gonna be

311
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: guys that do hold grudges. For the greatest of all time,

312
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan holds probably one hundred grudges to this day.

313
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 7: Poor things that.

314
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: Happened because of what some guys said to media or

315
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: what some guy held them ten points one night him

316
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,319
Speaker 1: and I took that personally.

317
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean still.

318
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 6: To this day, Michael Jordan and Isaiah Thomas they don't speak,

319
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 6: they do not speak, and they're like enemies. And it

320
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 6: was because of he was in Detroit at the time

321
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 6: and they used to beat up and the Dream Team

322
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 6: and the Dream Team situation stuff.

323
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 5: So man, it's one of those things, man.

324
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 6: But yeah, We're not that that right, but yeah, man,

325
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 6: it's it's all good. I love the way you know,

326
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 6: his career has gone and it's been an amazing He's

327
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 6: a great dude.

328
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: Okay, So Chris Clark with us by the way, Texans

329
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 3: Legends community member and joining us in studio. We have

330
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: a lot to get to with you offensive line. We've

331
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 3: talked about this many times on this program, the togetherness

332
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: you need, and obviously they blew the thing up from

333
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 3: last year. Three starters on the line from opening day gone.

334
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: They bring in new guys, they draft mostly free agent, acquisitions, trades,

335
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 3: that kind of thing. What do you make of it?

336
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 3: What they're trying to put together here? Our take is, hey,

337
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 3: they're Tamiko Ryans. The defense looks like Demiko Ryans, and

338
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: maybe he wants the offensive line to look like Demiko

339
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: Ryans as well.

340
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 6: What are you to have? Good offensive linemen? I'm gonna

341
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 6: be honest with you. A good offensive lineman is a

342
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 6: guy that's aggressive, like a defensive lineman, has the same mindset.

343
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 6: That's what made me pretty good, right I played defensive

344
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 6: end in high school. So being able to have that

345
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 6: mindset that killer. It's a different mindset between like offensive

346
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 6: line guys. That's usually nice guys, but then you you

347
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: meet those guys who very aggressive. You like Jesus, he

348
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 6: likes he's like a defensive line, right, So I feel

349
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 6: like that's what he's feeling the room with those tons

350
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: of guys and mean guys, aggressive guys. But in order

351
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 6: to be successful at offensive line, I truly know that

352
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 6: these guys have to have a great relationship outside of

353
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 6: this room, outside of this this locker room.

354
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 7: Right.

355
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 6: If you're only being together, being a unit when we

356
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 6: come to the meeting or you know, eating together, that's

357
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 6: not enough outside of here. You also have to have

358
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 6: a brotherhood outside of the shield of the Texans, you know.

359
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 6: But you got to have the proper people in the

360
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 6: room to do those things. Like I played with Lerman

361
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 6: nineteen when I came back, and you know, great guy.

362
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 5: I loved them. We got along good.

363
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 6: That was one of the reasons they brought me back

364
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 6: because I was one of the guys I was able

365
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 6: to bring the shawn. They brought me because they said,

366
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: you can bring the Shawn back with the offensive lineman, right,

367
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 6: because they literally wasn't having conversation.

368
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: So being able to be at peace, right, because we had.

369
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 6: A relationship because I was here before when he first

370
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 6: got drafted, I brought him. He started showing up at

371
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 6: old line dinners and all of these different things.

372
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 5: So the chemistry it really right. I was more of

373
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 5: a leader in the room.

374
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 6: I helped Huntu lead that offensive line room, so he

375
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 6: kind of was a little brother to me, right, And

376
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 6: I was there for because I was a guy, kept

377
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 6: my nose clean and did the right things, so exactly

378
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 6: to shake up that he's doing. And in Titus Howard,

379
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 6: he has those same qualities titles will be able to

380
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 6: keep this room together. Scrugs is another one, right. I've

381
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 6: been around him a few times in off season and

382
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 6: it was sad to see Kenyan gringo. But I told

383
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 6: him before he got draft. I was actually with him

384
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 6: before the draft, the day before the draft, and I

385
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 6: told him, I said, your best knowing he was from here,

386
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 6: I said, your best scenario is to not go to

387
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 6: the Texans. I'm gonna be honest with you, and it's

388
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 6: only because I know how family can hinder you.

389
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 7: Right.

390
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 6: It can be a nuisance sometimes and you don't really

391
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 6: be able to get the same output out of that player.

392
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 6: That you can get out out of the output in

393
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 6: another city, you know, And that's pretty much you'll see

394
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 6: him flourish, right, which you will be good for him

395
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: and his family.

396
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 5: That'll be good. But I do like the trade that

397
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 5: we made for going to Johnson as well.

398
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 6: Let me put that out there, right. He's an aggressive

399
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 6: guy leadership. Won a super Bowl. Now that you've won

400
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 6: a super Bowl, right, you've been there, you know what

401
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 6: the goal is. He'll be able to help help these

402
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 6: guys in the locker room who haven't been close to

403
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 6: sniffing it. He'll be able to help these guys. No,

404
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 6: this is what it's about. We're not training to win

405
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 6: the division. We're training to win in the playoffs. We're

406
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 6: training to win the last game, right, the last man standing.

407
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 6: When you have guys around you that's been there and

408
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 6: understand that, it becomes this is what we set in stone,

409
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 6: this is what our team is built off of. And

410
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 6: you get enough guys believing in that, it's contagious, man,

411
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 6: and I swear everybody will buy in, and the younger

412
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 6: guys coming in will buy in. So knowing, like I said,

413
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 6: get back to the old line. He's made some good choices.

414
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 6: He's made some great guys. We have a great room.

415
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 6: But I really think the shakeup was the offensive line,

416
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 6: not the players. I truly think it was the offensive

417
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 6: line coach because you have to and I didn't know him,

418
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 6: but just watching him as a group, the unison wasn't there, right,

419
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: looking at the left guard and the left tackle, they're

420
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 6: not even talking, right, there's no conversation. I'm watching them

421
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 6: when they come over to the bench, what's happening. They're

422
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 6: not conversing and breaking down kind of like a debriefing.

423
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 5: Right.

424
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 6: You need these things as an offensive line. What's going on,

425
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 6: Let's talk And if your leadership is not doing that,

426
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 6: then you won't be able to be a connecting unit.

427
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 6: So it's just one of those things, man, that's the

428
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 6: little things. And right, nah, I'm coaching little kids and

429
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 6: I'm teaching them that already.

430
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 5: So yeah, like I told you, I had some some things.

431
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 6: Going on, you know with the Ravens. I had mentioned

432
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 6: to you. But yeah, man, it's just one of those things.

433
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 6: I understand it a lot, going through the fire, being

434
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 6: playing ball for over twenty years right collectively, and it's

435
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 6: just one of those things. But they you know, he's

436
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 6: shaking it up in the right way.

437
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 7: Man.

00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,840

468
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 8: So it comes and starts from a place of absolute

469
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 8: frugality and cheap.

470
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 7: Frank So, I'm a freshman.

471
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 8: I'm a freshman in college and I had cut hair

472
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 8: doing the summer cuts at basketball and football camp in

473
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 8: high school. But freshman year walk on to campus in

474
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 8: two thousand and six and they said it was going

475
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 8: to be seventeen dollars for a haircut.

476
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 7: I said, nope.

477
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 8: I went over to the Walmart, I grabbed a set

478
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 8: of clippers, and I taught myself how to cut my

479
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 8: own my roommates and then on Tuesday nights it turned

480
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 8: into the common area in the dorm rooms was a

481
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 8: barbershop and I made my spending money there.

482
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 7: I was your nil money anil money.

483
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 8: It was two thousand and six nil money was coach's

484
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 8: cuts starting in the lobby of.

485
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 7: The dorm rooms.

486
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,959
Speaker 1: Okay, so I got a hair story big goes way

487
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: way back. But we had a buddy of ours, a

488
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: buddy of ours had cancer, and so we decided we

489
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: were going to save our heads. Before we did that,

490
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: we were gonna do all these crazy haircuts. And we

491
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 1: had a buddy that was like, I don't trust y'all.

492
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: Did you have teammates that took a little while to

493
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,439
Speaker 1: get them to trust you to cut your hair?

494
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 8: You gotta do some trust earning along the way. When

495
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 8: you get to a status. When the head coach, my

496
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 8: my college head coach, redescafe Italian guy, Frank, I need

497
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 8: you to need to cut my hair. I cut his

498
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 8: hair sitting in his in his office, in his office chair.

499
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 8: I cut his hair and he had the kind of

500
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 8: the seventies like little poof to his hair, and I

501
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 8: used the scissors in the whole deal.

502
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: So I had a nice little reputation going yeah, yeah,

503
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 3: Because there's a difference between cutting hair the way you

504
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 3: wear it right now, which.

505
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 8: Is straight, standard, high and tight. Yeah, yeah, pretty, I'm

506
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 8: pretty easy.

507
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: And then the layering effect that others might like or whatever.

508
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you get coach wrong, he's got take away

509
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: your target. That's right, that's right. You gotta be you

510
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: gotta get him.

511
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 7: So we we we grew it along the way.

512
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 8: I got to a point where I was cutting coaches

513
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 8: and players in the locker room, even in the NFL.

514
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 8: I cut the whole staff on my old team. I

515
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 8: cut everybody, including the head coach.

516
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 7: I cut. I still cut.

517
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 8: I cut serious hair the other day I cut the

518
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,239
Speaker 8: gen You know, it's it's pretty good.

519
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: I think that's just a worthy that's just the number

520
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,120
Speaker 3: five or whatever. Right, there's some there's.

521
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 8: Some things that I would recommend go to somebody else.

522
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 8: But I got the standards down.

523
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

524
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 3: Wait, you're self taught, though self taught, self taught by sound.

525
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 7: You just got the same amount.

526
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 8: Take off, the same amount, same amount, check it out,

527
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 8: same amount, same amount, same amount.

528
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: Change. That's how I do it. Oh my yeah, I

529
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: couldn't think about two of my own. I mean, my

530
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,639
Speaker 1: hair is the whole mess anyways, I couldn't think about that.

531
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 5: Get Ny in the chair.

532
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: The first time I found out you cut hair. I'll

533
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: never forget it. Was your first year here and you're

534
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: walking on the the hallway and we got to know

535
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: each other a little bit. But you said to me, hey,

536
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: did you get haircut? I was like, it wasn't like hey.

537
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 7: John, how you doing? Or Hey, what's going on? You know, hey,

538
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 7: what do you think about? Put?

539
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: Team?

540
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 7: Is like, hey, you cant haircut? I was like I

541
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 7: did as a matter of fact.

542
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: And so that's when you know, coach, and I've always

543
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: wanted you to be able to do it because I

544
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: don't want to pay seventeen bucks.

545
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 7: There you go, there, there you go.

546
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 4: No.

547
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 8: I regularly and routinely I comment on people's hair, but

548
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 8: hopefully they don't take offense to oh nice cut. Nice

549
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 8: you know, I noticed it too much, but drawn to it.

550
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

551
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 3: I have to ask you this because I think the

552
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 3: first time I saw you really coaching the team was

553
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: during this time of year and we had one of

554
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: the big monitors out there. It's like this huge flat

555
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 3: screen or something. Yeah, not describing it properly, but you're demonstrating.

556
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 3: You're showing the guy something, and I thought, he's a teacher.

557
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: You know, he's a coach, he's a teacher. How has

558
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 3: your style of teaching and relating to the players evolved

559
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: over the years. If at all it's the same time,

560
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 3: this is the way that works, or what have you

561
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 3: added to it or taken.

562
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 7: Away or whatever awesome question.

563
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 8: View myself as a teacher every day and just the

564
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 8: subject material is football. Like I'm a teacher first, the

565
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 8: fun part of my job is to find out how

566
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 8: to have fifty three different sets of ears that learn

567
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,120
Speaker 8: differently getting them on the same page.

568
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 7: Great.

569
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 8: So my teaching needs to reflect that and I need

570
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 8: to make sure I'm accommodating each different learning style. So

571
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 8: to be a good teacher, you got to understand your

572
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 8: audience on who is learning in what ways, so big

573
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 8: into the demonstrative motions and me getting out and doing

574
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 8: the physical. I always make sure like a little thing

575
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 8: I do. If I'm coaching you here, you're looking at me,

576
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 8: but I'll turn around and coach this way, yeah, because

577
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 8: this is our right hand and I want you to

578
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 8: see it if you're facing that way.

579
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, just little things to be precise.

580
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 8: We've used the video screens to class on the grass

581
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,439
Speaker 8: before class, on the crass on the grass and just

582
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 8: to just do some different you know, media as well

583
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 8: as you know real time movement with football and keeping it,

584
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 8: you know, different elements to teach with.

585
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: Frank, I always thinking about you during the rookie mini

586
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: camp because there are a lot of times when rookies

587
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: set foot on our campus, they may have never played

588
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: special team, may have never been a gunner, they may

589
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: have never been a protector on punt team. I'm watching

590
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: Woody marks, and I love Woody what he's done a

591
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: lot throughout his career. I don't know how often Woody

592
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: was the wing on punt you know, on punt protection.

593
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: So now you've got all these guys that have never

594
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: played special teams and you're basically introducing it to him

595
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: for the first time. What's that experience like, not only

596
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: for them, but for you to really kind of take

597
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: it back to the basics for them.

598
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 8: Back to the basics. So first off, I got to

599
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 8: find your baseline. And obviously I've we've met with these guys.

600
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,640
Speaker 8: It's not like David Rynery, show up, don't know who

601
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 8: you are, But there's there's going to be an introductory

602
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 8: level of fundamentals and you're gonna have that progression playing

603
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 8: of teaching from different points of view like you know,

604
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 8: all right, I'm gonna make it relatable for Woody, Woody,

605
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 8: this is past protection against a Blitzeen linebacker, and we

606
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 8: need to stay inside out as an example, right, a

607
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 8: super genuine generalized example right there. But try and make

608
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 8: it relatable and then we don't let them. You know,

609
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 8: the other part is with those specific cases, there is

610
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 8: a total blank canvas, so you only know how to

611
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,479
Speaker 8: do it, quote unquote coaches way by my way, because

612
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: you don't have a bunch of other experience, quite different

613
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 8: than a free agent that you sign who's played elsewhere

614
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 8: for three years in a different system.

615
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 7: So everybody's different.

616
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 8: The rookies a lot of progression plan teaching start to finish,

617
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 8: and you know, you're trying to fast forward their learning

618
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 8: quickly to get them up to speed. But a lot

619
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 8: of those guys really don't play a lot of kicking game.

620
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 7: Some do.

621
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 8: Some you got to go digging back to tape from

622
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 8: you know, twenty twenty or twenty twenty one. You know,

623
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 8: when they just stepped onto their college campus and now

624
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 8: it was probably at another university, right, they've transferred three

625
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 8: times since, so hit the portal.

626
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 7: So like you gotta do some digging.

627
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, you gotta do some projection, you gotta do some

628
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 8: looking at like, Okay, does that movement skill set even

629
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 8: though it's not it's on offense or defense? Like, does

630
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 8: that fit? What I'm gonna ask you know, what type

631
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 8: of tackler are they?

632
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 7: As a safety? What type of coverage player are they?

633
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 7: You know what? Do they have instincts and ball skills?

634
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 7: As a dB? Great?

635
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 8: Can he go down a punt as a gunner in

636
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 8: the plus fifty territory?

637
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 7: So you do some of that, but when you get here,

638
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 7: you're a blank slaton.

639
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna We're gonna build them with a strong

640
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 8: foundation and grow up from there.

641
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 7: Yeah.

642
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 3: So we see offensive defense practice situational work all the time.

643
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: Special teams. It's a situation every time, every down. And

644
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 3: you do have those end of game situations too, didn't

645
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 3: we have one at the end of the Colts game

646
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three finale.

647
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 7: They can just kill the clock.

648
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: The safety is that you don't have much time to

649
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 3: practice that kind of stuff. Some of that must be

650
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: drawn up in the dirt. Okay, you do this and that.

651
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: The other thing tell us about those.

652
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 7: We like to think we're prepared on as much as

653
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 7: we can be.

654
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 8: It's a little street ball and everything, right, you got

655
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 8: to go play ball, But no, there nothing can be

656
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 8: exactly precise, Just like the red zone offense, like they're

657
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 8: gonna have they're gonna practice from the one yard line.

658
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 8: They're gonna practice, but there's gonna be a twelve yard

659
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 8: line where you're kind of in that no man's like

660
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 8: those are going to happen, so you cannot prepare for everything. Truthfully,

661
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 8: the special teams nuanced situations have lessened a lot with

662
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 8: the new kickoff. For example, how are you gonna play

663
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 8: the end of the half kicks? There used to be

664
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 8: used to see deep squibs just to get the ball

665
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 8: bounce in. They can't set up a beautiful return track

666
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 8: and catch it on the fly. Maybe the fullback returns

667
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 8: it instead of the deep the deep return man. So

668
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 8: those are gone, one second bunt, you know, just all

669
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 8: of those.

670
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 7: They're kind of eliminated.

671
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 8: Way they've changed going into this year, Can I talk

672
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 8: about man I talk about the new kickff stuff? Yeah,

673
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 8: absolutely so going into this year, right, you cannot on

674
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 8: side kick until the second half, right, Okay, so at

675
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 8: the end of the first half, and there's you know,

676
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 8: seven seconds left, go ahead and kick a touch back.

677
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 8: They have the ball on the thirty five like they

678
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 8: can get one play and then shoot a long field goal. Yea, yeah,

679
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 8: So you have to kick off and you have to

680
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 8: kick it in the field to play if you want

681
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 8: to if you elect and want to run time, So

682
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 8: like there's no put the ball on the ground and

683
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 8: just let some time burn off. You have to land

684
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 8: it in the landing zone and get So all of

685
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 8: those are the new nuanced situations. How you're going to

686
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 8: burn out those last call it fifteen seconds of a half.

687
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 8: So you know, we ended up the twenty twenty three

688
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 8: season regular season on Week seventeen with a safety. We

689
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 8: practiced that intentional safety from you know, really backed up.

690
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 7: That happened from twenty two yard line.

691
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 8: It was pretty cam Johnston had to run and he

692
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 8: almost and we still had to kick off after that.

693
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 8: If you remember, you remember what happened on this one second?

694
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 8: There was one second. He we couldn't burn one more second.

695
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 8: But you teach the punters like you're not a ball carrier,

696
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 8: don't even take a hit and work risk fumbling that ball,

697
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 8: right like that would be the biggest man.

698
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we kicked off with one second left. You

699
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 7: remember what happened.

700
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: It was lateral lateral, and then they ended up we.

701
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 7: Got a takeaway right there. That's that Henry. I think

702
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 7: Henry came up with the ball.

703
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 5: That's right.

704
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 7: They were doing hopped out. That's a kickoff takeaway. I

705
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 7: don't know what you're looking at.

706
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that counts. There's my bonus.

707
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: Awesome on side kicks and the potential changes of what

708
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: can happen, I think we all you know, it's not

709
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: side kick situation. I mean it's I don't know what

710
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: the percentage chance has been lately, it's been maybe like

711
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,479
Speaker 1: nine percent. You were going to get it right. Do

712
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: you think some of the changes that have been talked

713
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: about Frank my generate a couple more or a few

714
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: more hope in the on side kick again.

715
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, the thought is that they're going to

716
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 8: move the kickoff team up about one more yard where

717
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 8: their front foot is on that yard line. We'll see

718
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 8: what the final end up ruling ends up being after

719
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 8: the owners meetings, and hopefully that gets what everybody's looking for.

720
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 8: Keeps the onside kick pure, it allows for an uptick

721
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 8: in chance for recovery just because the coverage.

722
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 7: Team is down there one step earlier.

723
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 8: So that bang bang, maybe that jar that ball jar

724
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 8: is loose a few more times results in some more recoveries.

725
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 8: And they're they're they're still restricted by formation restrictions and

726
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 8: alignment that you have to be to satisfy the rules

727
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 8: five by five. They don't want any looping overloads for

728
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 8: safety reasons.

729
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 7: So you know, we'll see what it ends up being.

730
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 8: But I think I do think just by moving up

731
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 8: a yard, if that's what it ends up being officially,

732
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 8: that that'll end.

733
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 7: Up scoring a few more recoveries.

734
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 5: We'll see them all.

735
00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 7: Some crazy stuff with onside kick.

736
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: When you look back at the day guys who would

737
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: loop over you got ten guys on the side.

738
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 7: I mean, just all things that you used to be

739
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 7: able to get away with.

740
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: If the outside kick in college, you'd have like a

741
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: five yard run up before the guy could kick it.

742
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, somebody was getting blasted with that. But I

743
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: always hated that onside kick for that.

744
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 8: You should hear they said special teams coaches go figure

745
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 8: this out. NFL down, so special teams coaches get together.

746
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 8: You should hear some of the ideas that come out,

747
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 8: there's oh yeah, man, we're gonna start it five yards.

748
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 8: We're gonna start it five yards on the line of

749
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 8: scrim has been the kick will be behind joe.

750
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 5: You know.

751
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 8: Uh in the kickoff return zone every quarter you have

752
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 8: to take a player out of the return area and

753
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 8: get less and less like there.

754
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 7: There's been some wild ideas.

755
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 3: Wow, it's still all about the kick though. You need

756
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 3: a really great high hopper or whatever it is, pace.

757
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 8: Matching, the timing when your coverage team is down there.

758
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 7: I don't care what type of kick it is, whether.

759
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 8: It's the spinning sideliner we called it a chop, whether

760
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 8: it's the you saw it a lot more, which was

761
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 8: the spike.

762
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 7: You used to see that all the time.

763
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, because that out when you had a

764
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 8: running start, enough time for you to get down and

765
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 8: get a big impact hit on the and the balls

766
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 8: already hit the ground. Yep, exact, and the balls already

767
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 8: hit the ground. That's the thing in college, you tell

768
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 8: him day one, the college kids, the receivers that are

769
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 8: on there's no fair catching on kickoffs.

770
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 7: If it hits the ground, you cannot fair catch the ball.

771
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 4: So all right, coach. Thanks all for joining us. Best

772
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: of luck.

773
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 7: Thank you guys, appreciate it.

774
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 2: I love that man.

775
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,959
Speaker 1: Just an absolute beacon of our community. Great to see

776
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: in this building. Frank Ross is the best, the boss,

777
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Frank Ross. Okay, we had a chance to talk with

778
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Petrie earlier this week. We'll finish up with hearing

779
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: from the fourth year safety.

780
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 7: Man.

781

Speaker 3: meetings and practices and we have a lot to talk

795
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 3: about because you're being honored. We're gonna get to that

796
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: in a moment. But tell us this meetings, this time

797
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 3: of year. What are you guys covering this time of

798
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 3: year at these meetings?

799
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 9: The basics, the fundamentals, everything that you know, everybody sees

800
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 9: when the season's come when the season comes.

801
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 10: But it's pretty simple.

802
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 9: We're just learning the basics and making sure that we're

803
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 9: mastering the fundamentals so that when you know, Buzzy gets

804
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 9: a flying, we're doing what we need to do.

805
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 7: And I'm gonna ask you a question. I know it

806
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: probably hurts to talk about, how much did you miss it?

807
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 10: I missed it a lot, like I was still.

808
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 9: Around, but it's different when you, you know, you into

809
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 9: mixing your playing. So, like I said, I'm really thankful

810
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 9: and grateful to you know, be back out there with

811
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 9: the guys.

812
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 7: Just flying around and running around is nothing like it.

813
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 3: How much much do you put into these OTAs and

814
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: the mini camp practices where hey, you can't really hit people,

815
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 3: but you want to play or practice with some intensity.

816
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 4: How do you handle that? How do you gauge that

817
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 4: out there? Jail?

818
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's it's about taking every rep personal

819
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 9: and making sure that you're getting some out of every

820
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 9: rep because, like I said, these reps are gonna you know,

821
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 9: show up in December and late into the season when

822
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 9: the playoffs comes, so it's important that you do take

823
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 9: them serious. But it's also a fine line there when

824
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 9: you're competing against people with you know, shirts and T

825
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 9: shirts and you're not hitting people. So it's about making

826
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 9: sure that you're keeping your teammates you know, healthy as well,

827
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 9: but also getting good work and making sure y'all flying around.

828
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 1: Jalen did the staff and you find the secret sauce

829
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: for you and find your spot that fits you maybe

830
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: best at all, playing the nickel spot the way you did.

831
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, I've talked about this. I watched

832
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 7: you so many times at Baylor, and the.

833
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: Closer you were to the line of scrimmage, man, you

834
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: made every single play that you can make. You could blitch,

835
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: you would sack guys, you would have TFLs. It felt

836
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: like you were kind of playing that same way last year.

837
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: You feel like you kind of find the secret sauce,

838
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,919
Speaker 1: Like that's that's what I do, That's how I play,

839
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: and that's where I'm most comfortable.

840
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I love it, but I wouldn't say I found

841
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 9: the freak secret sauce. My coaches found it. You know,

842
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 9: they allowed me to be in that position and to

843
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 9: do the things that you know, I think it's catered

844
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 9: to my you know, playing style. So I'm thankful that

845
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 9: they putting me in put me in that position, and

846
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 9: you know, I don't take it lightly and continue to

847
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 9: you know, go out there and try to make plays

848
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 9: for my teammates.

849
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: What do you make of this dB room jailing?

850
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 3: Because there's some new faces and there's some faces that

851
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: have been around that have done some things in this league.

852
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 4: It looks very strong top to bottom.

853
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, we got we got a lot of dogs

00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 9: Houston community as a whole. We work a lot with Stafford,

938
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 9: but we also help with the Houston community as a

939
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 9: whole with different basketball tournaments. We just sent some soccer

940
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 9: balls to Africa with our church, Like, we do a

941
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 9: lot of different things. So if you want to donate

942
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 9: and help out and send funds to kids and needs,

943
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 9: that's what we help with. And also, you know, we

944
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 9: have camps. If you want to come out and donate

945
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,880
Speaker 9: your time, you know you can do that. So time

946
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 9: and money is huge. And if you don't want to

947
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 9: do any of that, a prayer helps. So those three

948
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 9: are the ways that you know, we try to give

949
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 9: back and help people in need. And and yeah, we're

950
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 9: going to continue to do that and continue to get

951
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 9: better at it.

952
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 7: For sure. You just finished one of your camps.

953
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: What's that like when you get that camp done you

954
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: see a kid walk up to you and hug you,

955
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: and Coach Petrie thank you.

956
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 7: You know what?

957
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: What's that like when you have that that feeling when

958
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: you're around kids and they're thanking you for having you know,

959
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: one heck of a camp.

960
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's nothing like it.

961
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 9: And it's like a full circle moment because you know,

962
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 9: I played on that field my whole life.

963
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 10: I grew up in this community.

964
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 9: So to see kids coming up looking like me playing

965
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 9: the same sport that I played, it's like, oh, that's

966
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 9: me in a sense, you know. So I'm just trying

967
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 9: to help them out as much as I can, like

968
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 9: I said, and inspire them, even if it's not football,

969
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 9: whatever they want to do, I want to let them

970
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 9: know that they can do it and inspire them to,

971
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 9: you know, continue to push harder and understand that it's

972
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 9: not going to be easy, like just having those conversations

973
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 9: with them. And yeah, that's what it was like this

974
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 9: last week, and it was really fun to have that

975
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 9: camp school.

976
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: For kids who are great athletes and their parents listening

977
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 3: right now, watching right now, jail, And what's important for

978
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: high school kids to keep in mind?

979
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 4: We're in this NIL era. It's very different.

980
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,799
Speaker 3: We've talked about this a bit before with college athletics

981
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 3: and there's money out there, but you want the best

982
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 3: for your future, the best education as well. What's important

983
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 3: for young kids and their parents to remember is they

984
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 3: navigate their way through their high school careers.

985
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 7: Yeah.

986
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 9: That's a great question, and like you said, I'm a

987
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 9: little bit removed from that because I didn't have to

988
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 9: experience the whole NIL thing. But I think the theme

989
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 9: that comes to my head when you said that is

990
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 9: just never getting comfortable where you at.

991
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:48,800
Speaker 10: Yes, you might be getting a lot of money going.

992
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 9: Into college, but you haven't did anything in college, So

993
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 9: approaching that with a humble mindset of saying, I need

994
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 9: to establish myself, I need to continue to learn.

995
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 10: And then when you.

996
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 9: Get to that top spot in college, like, it's the

997
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 9: next step in that too, like how can I help

998
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 9: my teammates get better? How can I, you know, inspire

999
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 9: my teammates to also have that mindset that I'm the best, Like,

1000
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 9: so everybody is uplifted.

1001
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 10: And then it's the next step going into college.

1002
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 9: But wherever you add just I think it's about not

1003
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 9: getting too comfortable and not getting too fully yourself, because

1004
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 9: God has a way of humbling us and bringing us

1005
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 9: back to that middle ground where I think we all

1006
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 9: should be to thrive in whatever we're doing.

1007
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting to hear you talk about that

1008
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: because you and I have talked about this a little bit.

1009
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: I get text from my buddies and went to Baylor

1010
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: all the time, and they always remind me the last

1011
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: text say hey, what are you doing your golf or whatever?

1012
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 1: And hey, by the way, you know Jalen Petries, you know,

1013
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: one of our favorites of all time, and I often

1014
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: ask him you know why is that? Like man, when

1015
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,919
Speaker 1: things were going sideways, he stayed. And as Mark's asking

1016
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: that question, the first thing that popped.

1017
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 7: My head was adversity.

1018
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: You had adversity there Baylor, whether it was not playing

1019
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: early on, not successful, you had players leaving, but you stayed,

1020
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: You went through it.

1021
00:43:59,440 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 7: How big?

1022
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: And you think that is for guys that come into

1023
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: this locker room that you can share with them, like, Hey,

1024
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: even though things might get tough early on, we stick together,

1025
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 1: we get across this adversity, we might get to where

1026
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: we want to go.

1027
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 7: How big is that lesson?

1028
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: I know you don't walk around the locker room sharing

1029
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: that lesson, but when it comes up, I'm sure it's

1030
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: one that I think.

1031
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 7: Probably a lot of players would need to hear.

1032
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure.

1033
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: And I think, like you said, a lot of players,

1034
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 9: for the most part understand that because in sports there's

1035
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 9: a lot of adversity. It's a lot of injuries, it's

1036
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 9: a lot of different things, different avenues that they can

1037
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 9: see adversity. As I think it's like you said, just

1038
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 9: about reminding people like we might be going through a

1039
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 9: hard time right now, but when we come out of it,

1040
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 9: just imagine how much stronger Are we going to be

1041
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 9: mentally and physically if it's an injury, if it's a

1042
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 9: little bit of a setback, you know what I'm saying.

1043
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 9: So just reminders here and there and just having that

1044
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 9: open mindset in the locker room, you know, Linda helping hand. Hey, bro,

1045
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 9: you're going through this right now, but I promise you

1046
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 9: when you come out of it, you're gonna know how

1047
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 9: to do this ten times better, ten times faster, and

1048
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 9: that's going to help us as a team, help you

1049
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 9: as a.

1050
00:44:58,800 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 7: Person in the long run.

1051
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,479
Speaker 9: So I think it's just about reminding each other because

1052
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 9: we've all been through similar things.

1053
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: A couple more quick ones from me, Jaeling receivers. You're

1054
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: seeing a lot of them, of course, so tell us

1055
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 3: about them a little bit. Because we've got some new

1056
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 3: faces and some guys who have been around. It's kind

1057
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 3: of like the TV has got some new faces, some

1058
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 3: guys who have been around, but obviously led by Nico,

1059
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 3: who's tremendous, got the rookies out there, Kirk joins the team.

1060
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: A lot of different looks out there you're getting.

1061
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 4: From these receivers.

1062
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, a lot of different I would like to

1063
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 9: say flavors, a lot of different styles, a lot of

1064
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 9: different builds. But you know, it's a competitive group. They

1065
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 9: show up everyday rate to work and it's always exciting

1066
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 9: to go against them. You can't show up, you know,

1067
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 9: sleepy or like half away, because they go embarrass you.

1068
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 9: And yeah, nobody wants that out there, especially you know

1069
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 9: with the trash talking and stuff that we do in practice.

1070
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 9: So yeah, it's it's a pretty lig group in a

1071
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,479
Speaker 9: talented group overall for sure.

1072
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 7: Okay, I got to ask you about Monday night.

1073
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't know that we've had a chance to talk

1074
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: about this, being from Houston playing at Dallas on Monday night.

1075
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 7: And then you make that play.

1076
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: First of all, you're disappointed that you didn't pick up

1077
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: the ball and Derek did. Secondly, take us through that

1078
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: play and what did you see and how'd you make

1079
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: it happen?

1080
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1081
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 9: I was just basically playing my technique and dB made

1082
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 9: a great play stripsack and the lineman picked up the

1083
00:46:23,280 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 9: ball and I'm like, oh, I gotta go tackle him.

1084
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 9: And then when I tackled him, I was like, oh,

1085
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 9: the ball close. So I tried to punch it out

1086
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 9: and then you know, dB was right there again, so

1087
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 9: God blessed him again with the scooping scorer. So yeah,

1088
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 9: big shout outs to dB though, because that I wouldn't

1089
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 9: have got my strip if he didn't get his first trip,

1090
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 9: so big shout out of him, And yeah, that's basically

1091
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,399
Speaker 9: what happened. But it was definitely a big moment because

1092
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 9: I don't think I've ever hit a lineman like.

1093
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: That ever in my life, like with the ball and

1094
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: hit people before like that, just maybe not alignment with

1095
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands. Like the fact that it

1096
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 1: was Dallas and obviously you played for Hugh, you're from Houston,

1097
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: did it matter that much more?

1098
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 9: It definitely adds a little bit to it knowing that,

1099
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 9: you know, I'm from Houston and I got some you know,

1100
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 9: Dallas friends and some people even in the Houston community

1101
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 9: that love Dallas so much. But y'all know how we

1102
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 9: rocking on this side. So yeah, it definitely made it

1103
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 9: a little bit more special.

1104
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 4: One more.

1105
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 3: When people ask you what's this offense gonna look like?

1106
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 3: Nick Kelly, the new offensive coordinator, what can you tell

1107
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: us about what the offense might look like?

1108
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 9: I would say fast and explosive, you know, That's what

1109
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 9: I've seen so far. They're being you know, on it

1110
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 9: in terms of everything that they're doing, so you know,

1111
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 9: I'm excited. You know, they have a lot of playmakers

1112
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 9: like I mentioned, and a definitely a great quarterback.

1113
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,760
