I hope you 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:28.000 all enjoy this special edition Next Man Up. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.839 Commanded Fanning for our Next Man Up. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.519 We had to bring in extremely special legend for this 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.040 last one. This is the last episode as we headed 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:46.559 to the playoffs. But since we headed to the playoffs, 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:48.239 we had to bring somebody to know a little bit 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:52.160 about that two time Super Bowl champion, one of the 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.160 best wide receivers to ever run that Burgundy and Gold, 0:00:56.200 --> 0:01:00.280 if not the best welcome you get, my guy, Jerry Clark, Gary, 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:01.200 how you doing, brother. 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.400 I'm doing good. I was looking for Art Monk. I mean, 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.080 you're giving such a great introduction. I was looking for 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.040 Art Monk that I was looking for Ricky Samders. I 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.360 was looking for all those guys that were great receivers 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.040 that were quite honestly one of the best in the 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:13.520 Burgundy and. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.000 Go all three of you guys deserved that distinctions while 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:19.800 to think that all three of you guys played together. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:21.039 We're going to get into that. 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.000 But Gary, if you're not familiar, next minue that we 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.200 liked talking about the man behind the helmet. So I 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.360 want to start from the beginning with you, Gary, so 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:29.600 we don't get to hear a lot from you, brother, 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:31.520 So I want to take my time with this for 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.040 to really talk to you. So let's start from the beginning. 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.760 Because you've had a Hall of Fame level career, and 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.000 your career did not start. How many Hall of Fame 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.680 level careers start. You actually started in the USFL when 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:49.440 you started your pro career, correct. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:53.160 I did. I did as the Quite honestly, a lot 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.320 of NFL players started in the USFL that came over. 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.480 Steve Young, Reggie White, Kevin Bryan. They played for us 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:08.960 as running back. I mean honestly, after the USFL folded, 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.239 if you go and look, probably for the next five 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:17.440 to six years, everybody going to the Pro Bowl, they're 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.080 from the USFL. I mean. So they were doing a 0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.480 great job of still in college talent. I'm coming you know. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.240 They paid a little bit better than the NFL did, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.919 and the reason that I went there first because the 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.560 Redskins Redskins at the time, they had my right. They 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.720 drafted me as well in the supplemental draft, so they 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.200 had my rights. But initially Washington wanted me to come 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.919 in as a punt returner, kick returner, and maybe come 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.679 in on third down as a receiver. And I won't 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.000 trying to fill it. I don't mind returning punt some kicks, 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.440 but at the end of the day, I want to 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.560 be a receiver first and punt return kick return a second. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.520 And the USFL, I was a six pick in the draft, 0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.720 I kind of already knew I could do everything I 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.120 want to do there. I can return punts, return kicks, 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.919 and be the primary receiver on the team. And that's 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.680 what I was able to do there in the USFL 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.320 my rookie season. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.760 And then you decide to go to the Riskies and 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.960 make that transition. What was that transition like going from 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.880 the USFL to the NFL back then? 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.600 Scary like anything else. You know, you come into the NFL, 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.960 the National Football League, which is the league of course. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.000 I mean, hands downs always will be the top professional 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.440 football league in the country, hands down, and I felt 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.600 a little fear, so much so that I probably ran 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.080 the fast forty yard dash that I ever ran in 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:44.160 my lifetime on two strained hamstrings. I was like, if 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.640 I don't run fast enough, they're going to send me home. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.360 So I was fortunate around like a four to three 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.040 to two that day, and I had a chance to 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.920 see great players on the team. I got to see 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.240 Art Monk, Charlie Brown was a great receiver here for 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.720 Washington at the time. They had another receiver, Kevin Muhammet, 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.400 who was extremely fast receiver that they had on the 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:12.920 time on the team. But I've always liked challenges, so 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:16.039 to speak. I've always liked somebody telling me what I 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.440 can't do. I'm that guy that plays with a chip 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.560 on his shoulder. I like the chip on my shoulder. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.200 If I don't have one there, I'll put one there. 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.600 I'll make one up. And that's the way that my 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.799 whole career has been. Quite honesty. I've always been supposedly 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.840 too small to play, too small to be a receiver. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.680 I'm going to get hurt and going to get this, 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.599 I'm gonna get that. So I used took all that 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.200 information and utilize it as a chip to drive me 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:44.720 to try to succeed at deposition. And nobody likes sitting 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:48.520 on the bench. Nobody likes sitting on a bench, and 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.159 especially me. I had never sat on the bench before. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.960 When I came to Washington my first four games, I 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:58.080 believe I was a third receiver, which was fine, but 0:04:58.320 --> 0:04:59.880 I didn't like it. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.200 Even though you have these big names there, you still 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.360 have that chip and that confidence in yourself to say, 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:08.000 you know what, I belong on that field. I should 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.040 be the number one guy, the number two guy. So 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.920 you said this chip was on your shoulder forever? Does 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.599 it just come on your shoulder from being a undersized receiver? 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.719 Is that where that ship originally came from? Where would 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:18.440 you say that came from? 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.000 I think so, just because you know, because I was 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.080 small when I first came into the league in Washington 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.279 my rookie year, I weighed one hundred and fifty five 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.800 pounds and five to nine one hundred and fifty five 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.680 pounds right, which quite honestly, I thought it was fine. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:32.520 So you never know. 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.919 But the Redskins said I did to put on some 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.640 more muth so, so they got me in the weight room. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.480 D Boy did a good job. So I got up 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:42.560 to one hundred and seventy four pounds my sophomore season, 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.560 and I stayed at that for the rest of my 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.320 career in the league. I say that a one hundred 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.160 and seventy four pounds, but I felt fine in five 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.560 nine quite honestly. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.719 Hey, and you looked good at five nine. 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.400 I believe it got over nine hundred receiving yards just 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.440 your rookie year, even though with all of those people 0:05:57.480 --> 0:05:59.800 that were already there, the talent that was already on 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:00.480 the roster. 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.120 When you look back at that rookie year, what did. 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.440 You learn most about yourself as an NFL player playing 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.599 alongside some of these greats learning through the NFL man, What. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:10.680 Did you take back from that? 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.400 I mean, I was I was so fortunate because we 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:17.599 had Art Monk there. Who is Art Monk? Hall of Famer, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.120 redskin glory, you know, and you thank deceivers, you think 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.640 Charlie Taylor, Bobby Mitchell, Art Monk, because when you thank 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.880 deceiver in terms of the resk and glory. So I 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:28.680 was very fortunate that Art was there, and I was 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.279 very fortunate I had Charlie Taylor as my coach because 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:34.719 Charlie at the time. I mean, he was the best 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.960 in resking history at the time, so you know, Art 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.719 has not broke his record yet. So Charlie was the guy. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.719 So I'm learning from the best receiver has ever put 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.119 on the Burgerdy and Gold at the time, and being 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.360 able to see those guys and seeing the other players 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:55.520 and knowing that I could fit in because we had 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.080 a lot of NFL players in the USFL, and so 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.240 I saw a lot of those players come over and 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:02.240 I said, well, I do pretty good against those guys, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:04.560 so I should be able to do pretty good against 0:07:04.560 --> 0:07:09.560 these guys. And after my third or fourth day in 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:15.760 training camp, quite honestly, mini camp, I was like, yeah, 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:18.160 I can play with these guys, you know. And don't 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.000 get me wrong, like our office was built around Art 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.840 Monk my rookie season, because I mean he was a 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:25.440 guy and he had just came out for like one hundred 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.200 and six receptions. That was the first time I've ever 0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.520 been done in NFL history. And Art is the guy 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.600 for the reason because he's the guy, you know. So 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.560 my competitive nature, I want to be the guy. Just 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.080 what it is like, I want to be the guy. 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:41.880 And Ricky Sanders when he came here a year later. 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.760 He wanted to be the guy. Art definitely wants to 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.080 be the guy. So when you have that type of 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.560 competitive nature but still pull for one another, that makes 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.680 for a great threesome, quite honestly. And I was just 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.640 I was just driven. Man. I don't like I don't 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.760 like Louis in first and foremost in case stand to lose, 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.760 there's nothing I remember. Don't get me wrong. You do 0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.520 learn from when you lose, You do learn from it. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.440 But I remember telling somebody I said, well, I'd rather 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:15.560 be dumb because I don't want to I don't I 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.680 don't want to lose. I'd rather be dumb than a 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.880 that's the case. But of course I never went undefeated 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.520 here in Washington. We had a chance to do that, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.520 but it didn't happen. But we had We should have 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:29.720 ninety two, the ninety one season, we should have went undefeated. 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.000 Definitely should have went undefeated. I'm still mad about that. 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.200 I know it goes every time we talked. So let's 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.440 talk about that season. You say you should have went 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.840 undefeated in your opinion, what went wrong to make it 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:43.800 so that you guys could not go undefeated? That. 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.760 What do you think happened in that game where you 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:46.680 guys took their loss. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:51.440 Well, we were feeling ourselves. That's the first mistake. Typically, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.000 it happens with everybody at some point in time, when 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.520 you start thinking you're better than what you are. Typically 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.560 somebody shows you on any given Sunday, you better be 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.600 playing like you're playing. And that's what happened. Like they 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.120 threw a hell Mary pass in the first half. The 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.280 thing bounced to three people and the falls in the 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.680 receiver's hand. I was like, are you kidding me? Are 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.960 you kidding me? You take that away? We win that 0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.680 football game and we played the egos later on in 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.680 the year and Joe pulled everybody kind of after the 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:26.480 first half though I still ran in. I was like, 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.760 I don't like to lose again. I don't want to 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.480 lose see anybody, and we probably have been we should 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.840 have went fifteen on one worst case scenario, but if 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:37.400 Joe wouldn't have pulled everybody. But you know, he's the 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.120 brains behind the system for a reason. You know, he 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.520 don't make sure to get no players hurt, you know, 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.080 and that's why Joe and Joe gives him my opinion 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.000 is the greatest NFL coach you ever coached the game. 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.280 Don't that anybody here would argue with you on that one. 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:55.280 Back to Art Monks, you talk about that healthy competition. 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.040 You got to say, you guys all wanted to be 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.000 the best, but you're coming in as a rookie. Art 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.320 Monk is your veteran. What did you learn from Warmo? 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:03.720 Because you said there was that competition there, However, you 0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:05.320 guys all wanted each other to succeed. 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.559 What did you learn from Art? Never like anything else? 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:15.840 Like I shadowed him, Art turned around right behind him 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:18.720 because I wanted to look at what the best receiver 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:22.400 on the team was doing, you know, honestly, his work, 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.120 his work ethics, his discipline. I mean, there's a reason 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.320 why Art Monk was the top receiver in NFL history 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.520 at one point in time until Jerry broke his record. 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:36.320 His work ethic, it was unbelievable. Like Art is the 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.040 one that got me and Ricky going to George Mason 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.280 University to run the hills. I had my own workout program, 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.920 but Art took us to another level with his workout 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.400 program that he was doing, you know, and he didn't 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.000 it wasn't like he was asking us if he wanted 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.560 to do it. He was telling us we were going 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.040 to do it, which also tells you his leadership, because 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.000 he's a man of few words, as we all know, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.839 and he was the type of guy's or touchdown, she 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.959 just left the ball drop been there. It's like, I 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.400 act like you've been there before. I didn't really do 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:10.160 that that often. I had never done that before. But 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:13.920 Art Monk, I mean, I mean, he is. He is 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:19.959 truly one of the best receivers in Reskin history without 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:21.679 a doubt. I mean, I'm a big fan of Charlie 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:25.000 Taylor and Bobby Mitchell, and but they have to put 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.079 Art in that same conversation for sure. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:29.959 And since we're talking about Art, let's talk about the 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.280 posse a little bit. In nineteen eighty nine, y'all became 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.720 the second trio for all three of you guys to 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:37.559 surpass one thousand receiving yards. That has been done a 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:39.800 few times since, but y'all were the second to ever 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:40.199 do it. 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.199 When you look back. 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.920 At that, did you guys know in the moment what 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:46.000 you guys were doing or y'all just playing ball? 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.280 Well, were definitely playing ball. You know, at the end 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.720 of the day, they didn't hand this the keys until 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:57.240 mid season because we always was a run first, throw, 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.520 throw second team. That's what we allay. If we had 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:02.640 really go to start off with, then we had George Rogers, 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.000 you know, but at some point Tom Joe, well he 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:09.520 is he's a great manager of the game and manager 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.280 of the team and understanding what's taking place. So once 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:16.120 he gave us the keys, first of all, we started 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.080 winning games. Who ran off for like six or seven 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.600 in r row and we were the second trio, but 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:27.360 with the first that had three wide receivers do it 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.920 because typically, you know, at that point in time, like 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.600 typically had one really good receiver, you had a second 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.719 receiver that would put up like half the numbers. But 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:41.000 when you had three three receivers to catching seventy or 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:45.080 more balls, you know, like, actually, aren't And Ricky called 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:49.120 eighty balls that year. Eighty balls that year all went 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.680 over a grand I called seventy nine. I was close 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:58.120 that last game. I was right there in front of 0:12:58.160 --> 0:12:58.920 He should have thrown. 0:12:58.720 --> 0:12:59.040 Me the ball. 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.520 I was right there in front of a man. Just 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.400 tell me the five yards I get the five. 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.280 Yards, Just give me, Just give me this eighty I 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:13.959 eighty remember already. 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.960 Not that I'm mad about it anything. I'm not sad 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:17.720 about it. 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.280 But I'm sure I mean, be honest, Gary, be honest, right. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.000 That has to be like a little something right because again, yes, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.199 you want your your partners to do well. Yes, you 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.439 guys are all ready for each other. But again you 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.760 want to be the best. They want to be the best. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.560 That stick with you a little bit. Not being able 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:34.520 to get past that eighty. 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:39.680 Oh yeah, I was like, there he running scrambling, I'm 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.800 in front of him. Who's gonna be a better receiver 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.599 after the catching me in a quarterback? 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:44.760 Be better? 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:49.400 Rip, you're not going get Just tell me a little 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.760 five year fad. Even if I just gotta got capling 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.520 five yards. This had the eighty. We won the football game, 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:55.920 which is always the most important part. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:56.120 Though. 0:13:57.600 --> 0:13:59.640 That's why I'm talking to you, man, because there is 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.719 no body more competitive than you. Of man, that is 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.480 great to hear because you are so competitive. So let 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.080 me ask the competitor you got. 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.800 The shades on? Man, I feel like I got you. 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.559 You mentioned it, and I'm glad you mentioned it for him, 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.080 because again, the trio that y'all were all receivers that 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:17.160 have not been done yet. So let me ask you, 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.840 horses mount himself. Are y'all the best wide receiver trio 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:21.800 in the NFL style? 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:27.480 You don't have to finish the statement. I mean you 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.680 knew I was going with it. I mean, like pick 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.200 your poison at the end of the day, because you know, 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.400 when you got great receivers on the team, for example, 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.240 Terry for Washington, great receiver, like Unbelievablet's go to break 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.160 everybody's record, just going to he's just going to write, 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.160 but he wants the ball. You got to give him 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.760 the ball. It's just what it's going to be, you know. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.000 But he gets doubled. So what we looked at and 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.120 we're all with this way, if you didn't double us, 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.960 we took it as an insult. If I ain't get 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.480 double team, you would single man. You lose. You're not 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.080 gonna win that bad. You just gotta hope I dropped 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.520 the ball. That's all you got do. You just hope 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.360 I dropped the ball. Because you're not covering Ricky Sanders, 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.680 You're not covering Art Monk, You're not covering those people 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.240 one on one. That's not gonna happen. Don't even think 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.840 about trying to cover me one on one. That's a 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.120 waste of time. You're not gonna win that battle. You 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:25.480 gotta hope I dropped the ball. And Ricky Sanders, who 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.240 does not get the credit that he deserves, might have 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.200 been better than me and Art. Ricky. Well, then to 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:38.880 think about it, Terry just broke Ricky's record for touchdowns 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.760 in the season. Ricky had twelve. Art never got twelve. 0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:45.800 I never got twelve. Ricky got twelve in a bad season, 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.240 Like we didn't even go to the playoffs that year. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.040 That he got twelve touchdowns. He was a bad boy. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.640 Super Bowl twenty two he crushes He's a break Land 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:59.600 swine rerecord. He crushes it in a quarter, quarter and 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.280 a half. Come on, now, if Joe would have been 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.320 like a lot of these other coaches, and we'll run 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.760 up the score. Ricky Sanders probably would have had three 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.200 hundred yards that game. He had one hundred and like 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:15.800 one hundred and eighty nine. Not that I'm counting anything, 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:17.760 because I should have had one hundred and eighty nine, 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:21.720 but I didn't. I didn't get close to it. Ricky 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:25.240 Sanders beasts, and I'm just trying to figure out why 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.440 he's not in our Ring of fame. I haven't figured 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.200 that out yet. I mean, this is I mean, if 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.080 I need to go have a conversation with ownership. I mean, like, 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:38.840 Ricky Sanders is definitely a player who belongs in the 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:40.600 Ring of fan We don't have that Super Bowl ring 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.480 without Ricky Sanders and that super Bowl he started Art, 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:49.520 he started it eighty yards eighty yard touchdown pass. Right, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.880 we're running. Charlie ten Hitch, the defensive back for Denver, 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:59.080 on his own, decided to press Ricky. It turns into 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.280 an automatic face. If he would have stayed offer, Ricky 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:05.080 would have been a five yard catch because he made 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.359 a decision to walk up there on his own. Because 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:13.520 it was not man shoot Ricky. Looking back, he's like 0:17:13.600 --> 0:17:15.480 twenty yards ahead of the guy. But it's all said 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.960 and done. Like he is one of the best athletes 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.679 you will ever find in NFL history. NFL history, not 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:24.920 just Redskin history. He's one of the best athletes you 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:27.680 will ever find. And the nicest guy in the world. 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:34.880 Nicest guy in the world. Art was quiet but very competitive, 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.800 like I want the ball, give me the ball. I 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.560 want the ball. All the time. This is what it is. 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.400 I want the ball all the time, unless we're winning 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.119 and they're playing great, because at the end of the day, 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.640 I just want to win. Like if I catch zero 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.440 balls and we win the football game, I'm celebrating. Now. 0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:57.119 If we lose a football game and I catch zero balls, 0:17:57.119 --> 0:17:59.600 that's why we lost the football game. In my brain, 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:02.200 Remember I tell you I need to have a chip. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:04.400 I need to make sure I always have a chip 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.120 on my shoulder to make me play back a lot 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:08.919 of times. That's what it was. Not saying that was 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.480 necessarily true, but it allowed me to put a chip 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:14.359 on my shirtder be like they throw me the fall, 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:17.760 and then I make sure I go make sure I 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:22.600 bring the quarterbacks a lot breakfast every morning. Extra nice 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:26.760 nigga that knows happening to take them at dinner, give 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:27.680 them gift cards. 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:35.040 That be three guys in their position that are ultimate competitors. Hey, 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:36.800 I'm gonna ask you for a little inside information that 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.240 maybe ever shed. When y'all three would get together, y'all 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:41.600 would have conversation in the locker room, y'all have conversations 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:45.240 in practice, What would those conversations like between y'all three 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.000 was their competitive talk. We did it all today, I'm 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.720 gonna eat it up today, I'm a lead today, or 0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:50.720 was it all just okay? 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.720 All three of us know we got to play in 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:54.200 unison to get the job done. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:56.879 What was those conversations like between just y'all three as 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:58.720 as receivers in a receiver room. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.280 A lot of times mostly about making sure that we 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:05.359 put into work, you know, because there's practice and then 0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.760 there's practice. You practice as a team. You go through 0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:12.960 your ordinary everyday practice, right, and then when practice starts 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:14.639 and everybody else goes in, you stay out on the 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.760 field and you work on your game. You work on 0:19:17.160 --> 0:19:19.080 like we're a route runner, so we're going to work 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.720 on our route running. You know, we got to catch 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:23.440 your rucks, so we're going to work on catching balls 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.480 after practice. You got to do all those things. And 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.880 we did it all as a unit because we really 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:31.960 did pull for one another. Don't get me wrong, We 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:34.639 pulled for one another. We want Ricky to score a touchdown, 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:37.840 want Art to score a touchdown. Art was very very quiet. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.120 He's just always he's just that way. He's a very 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.359 like he speaks when he has something to say. Practical joker, 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.960 though in the locker room, practical joker, but he would 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.679 speak when he had something to say. Me and Ricky, 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.040 Me and Ricky boys, we like talking back and forth 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.760 to each other, you know, like we went out together. 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.919 Art had the family. He wasn't doing anything. You know. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:01.160 Art's a perfect role model, Like the perfect role model. 0:20:01.160 --> 0:20:05.359
