I am 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: your host, John Harris Football, an old sideline reporter, same 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: guy eight years straight. Love doing this Friday show and 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: appreciate you guys all being here with me as we 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: get ready for Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Now, 7 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot going on tonight. Obviously, the Astros are 8 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: playing in Game three, and you know I've got that 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 1: on in the background. So excited to watch Game three 10 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: of the World Series. I am a Houstonian, so I 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: do want to see my boys in the Orange and 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: Blue do very very well against the Atlanta Braves. And 13 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: after the Braves, the Braves and Dodgers are playing in NLCS. 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: But after the Astros a clinch the LCS, I was like, 15 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: I want the Dodgers. Dodgers, Dodgers dodged all day long. 16 00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: First of all, my wife and daughter out in LA 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: and I just I don't know. They don't like the 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: Dodgers either, but they went their Dodgers game, so I 19 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: almost feel like they betrayed me in some sense. Go 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: to Chavez Ravine first of all, without me but secondly 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: the fact that I wanted them in it. I just 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: I wanted a piece of them. And then I got 23 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: a few tweets like, hey, us old heads remember the Astros, 24 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, losing the Braves back in the nineties. Eh, yeah, 25 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: I guess I want the Dodgers. This team was one 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: of talking all that smack and they were about to 27 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: get smacked in the face, but they couldn't even get 28 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: past the Brave. So either way, world series going on. 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: We got a lot going on on the show this evening. 30 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna have John Gernard in the show for our 31 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: deep Slent Interview of the Week. We're also gonna have 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Walker through a little Druise does and we're gonna 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: get that early in the show. We're also gonna have 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of where are they Now with Earl Mitchell, 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: the former north Shore product who carved out a very 36 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: nice NFL career for himself, did or where are they now? 37 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: With your door? They will have DeMarcus Walker did a 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: little Drew's final word always give Drew the final word 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: of the show. We're also going to hear from Toro. Yes, Toro, 40 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: I mean Sunday is kids Day, So dpcit you had 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with Toro through his translator. 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: I guess now, if you see Toro he does, you 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: don't need a translation. But if you can't see Toro, 44 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: you actually need the translation. So our buddy Ryan Records 45 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: is gonna stop by and going to give us his 46 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: thoughts on Kids' Day where Toro will definitely be in 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: full focus. But because it's Friday, we got a lot 48 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: to do in the first segment, including a few minutes 49 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: with the head coach you or Houston Texas David Culley, 50 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: who sat down with the Voice that Texas Mark Vandimir 51 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: earlier today. Coach the Rams. We always talk about Matthew Stafford, 52 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: but they like to run the ball to how do 53 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: you balance trying to defend against them. Well, that's what 54 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: makes them Mark so difficult to defend because I mean 55 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: they're very balanced that a way. This is also a 56 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: football team that in the past have also been a big, 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: play tight football team with the vertical passing game. That 58 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: hasn't been as much at this point during the year 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: as it has been in the past, but that's something 60 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, you got to defend the whole field against 61 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: these guys, and you got to be able to defend 62 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: the run and the pass against these guys. They do 63 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: a lot of motions and shifts unlike a lot of 64 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: teams that we play, and you know, you got to 65 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: really know your keys and do the right things and 66 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: be where you're supposed to be when you play this 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: type of football team. How hard is it to defend 68 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: against a guy like Matthew Stafford where the paul's coming 69 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: out so fast he throws it on a rope. Well, 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: not only does he throws it on a rope, you 71 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: just mentioned he gets it out very fast. Is to 72 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: think about it is is that he's got some guys 73 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: and when he gets it out to him fast, they're 74 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: pretty good with the ball in their hands. Basically, we've 75 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: just got to be able to get our hands up 76 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: in a hurry. We've got to be able to just 77 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: keep putting pressure on him, just like we did last 78 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: week in Arizona and Lee. Matthew is not as mobile 79 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: as the last guy we played, So you know, we 80 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: feel like if we can keep pushing that pressure on 81 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: him right there, that we can get some tip balls 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: and and obviously make him get it out a little 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: bit quicker than he wants to get it out. What 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: about defensively, we always hear about Aaron Donald, but they 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: have other guys that can hurt you. What about attacking them, coach? Well, again, obviously, 86 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: as I've said earlier, with Aaron Donald, you know, you 87 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: can't allow him to wreck your team with a bunch 88 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: of one on one So obviously we're going to take 89 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: care of that. But they are pretty balanced all the 90 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: way in. They've got some great linebackers that run around 91 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: very well. And usually when when you got linebackers making 92 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: the plays they've got, that usually means that you're upfront 93 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: people are pretty good and and and they are that 94 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: they are pretty good. They're pretty balanced, just like their 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: own offense. They've got that front level, that back level, 96 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: that middle level in there. You know they're they're they're 97 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: pretty balanced team on defense just as well as on offense. 98 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: What about your ground game Without ingram more carries to 99 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: go around for the rest of the guys, Now, how 100 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: will that affect the ground game? Coach? Well, I don't. 101 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Obviously we'll miss Mark, but basically we're gonna attempt to 102 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: try to do the same things we've done. It's just 103 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: that now, when when a guy leaves, the next god 104 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: steps up the guys we got right now, Obviously Scotti 105 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: Phillips will be up. Scottie will end up being in 106 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: the mix with that, and and basically we're just gonna 107 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and continue to try to press and get 108 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: the running game going. And and we've got different packages 109 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: for different guys, and whoever's in there doing that package. 110 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: When we're running the ball, we feel good about being 111 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: able to be successful running it. I realized the passing 112 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: game is a group thing. But Davis has played a 113 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: lot better at home than on the roads, so that 114 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: must be encouraging coming into this one. Well, not only 115 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: he Mark, but our entire football team has played well 116 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: at home. And that's a good thing because obviously when 117 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: you're playing at home, because this is we feel like 118 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: at home, it's a tough place for Ponis to come 119 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: in and play. We've played that away when we've been 120 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: at home, and we feel like right now with all 121 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: the all of the reps that he's gotten right now 122 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 1: and the experience that he's gotten, that you know, we're 123 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: gonna eventually get to the point to where that we're 124 00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: gonna end up finishing it. At home and get that 125 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: in kicking game. Your special teams is coming off a 126 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: real nice game at Arizona. I know you want to 127 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: bring that home with you. All we do. And our 128 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: guys love kicking in the stadium. Now, yeah, you know 129 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: the conditions are great for kicking here. You know, we've 130 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 1: just got to put ourselves in a situation where that 131 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 1: our kicker is kicking pats instead of field goals, and 132 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: that our punner is punting and backing them up and 133 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: getting field positioned, and we feel good about that plan here. 134 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: All right, coach, thanks a lot, good luck, You're welcome. Mark. 135 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: All right, great here from Coach Cully. As always, Now, 136 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: we got to get to a lot of important information 137 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: before we get to DeMarcus Walker. So we got to 138 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: get to the injury slash status report. On a Friday, 139 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: no one out for the Texans, see kinda. There are 140 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: five questionable players in this one, including Farrell Brown, who 141 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: did not practice today. He has been a limited participant 142 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: in practice on Thursday. I don't think I'm trying to see. Yeah, 143 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 1: he practiced fully on Wednesday, limited on Thursday, did not 144 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: participate on Friday. It's not training in the right direction. 145 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: But he's questionable. Also questionable, Justin britt Jelil Johnson with 146 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: the back whom this last week. Christian Kirksey with that thumb. 147 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: We saw him in practice today with a big old 148 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: cast on his hand. It looks like he's gonna try 149 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: and play in. Justin McCrae, who came into the game 150 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: for Max Sharping last week. Rex burkhead back with a hip. 151 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: Now the Rams a little bit of news with them. 152 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: Number one Sean Jackson did not participate Friday in practice. 153 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: It was a rest day as it's called. However, news 154 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: came out later on that he and the Rams discussed 155 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: a potential trade out of his home of Los Angeles, 156 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: so he's gonna be out of this game. That is 157 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: a deep threat off the field, thank god. Also out 158 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: for the Rams, Sebastian Joseph Day defensive Liman was very 159 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: very good. Andrew Whitworth left tackle for the Rams. Out 160 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: that's a big Also did not participate today at practice 161 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: for the second straight day. Jalen Ramsey deal with the 162 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: illness now he's listened. A questionable that has definitely want 163 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: to watch. Also questionable. Jordan Fuller, Robert Rochelle safe starting 164 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 1: safety more than likely starting corner, and Yatt Ramsey, who 165 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: has not practiced for two days, to be interesting in 166 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: the secondary going against Davis Mills. That was the big 167 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: note that coach Culley discussed today. Davis Mills will start 168 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: at quarterbacks.

In college, he 186 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: was a tight end, a running back, fullback, and h back. 187 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: He did everything.

Just healthy, getting back on the field, 527 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: getting some plays out there. It's fun. I think just 528 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: with a new field of everything, you know, with new 529 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: coach and staff, new players as well. I think overall 530 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: we just kind of have that that new field and 531 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: I think we're all hungry. I think we all kind 532 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 1: of got us clean slate here, and I think just 533 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 1: all of jumping together, all having that same mindset. You know, 534 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: some guys are on one year deals and stuff like that. 535 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: They're just trying to put their best foot forward. And 536 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: I think when you have that all in the room 537 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: in general, not just on the defensive side, but on 538 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: the other side as well, in all aspects, it helps 539 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: everybody just say one thing, you don't have to worry about, 540 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: this effort, and I think that one thing keeps driving 541 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: us to make the plays and stuff like that. All right, 542 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: speaking of effort, you've had multi sack back to back games, 543 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: So two sacks and back to back games. It seems 544 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 1: like you're really getting to the quarterback. It's something different 545 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: for you this year. What's what's been your secret to 546 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: really getting after after these quarterbacks. Yeah. I think last 547 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: year just getting my feet weight a little bit understanding 548 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: how the game goes help me out a lot in 549 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 1: those aspects, just to get a feel for it. But 550 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 1: definitely just to continue just to keep playing. Like I said, 551 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: with us with this new staff, new system, and a 552 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: new scheme we run, it's just lets people play. Lets 553 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: the guys just go. You know, getting your gap gives 554 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: you assignment and not to think that much and just 555 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: go make play. So I think once the thinking aspect 556 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,719 Speaker 1: was taken out of it, especially coming from last year 557 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: with a different defense, Um, I was just able to go. 558 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 1: And I think that's what we're saying now. Just me 559 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: just continues to be relentless and effort just that I 560 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: can try to make the most plays with the team. 561 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 1: All Right, So you didn't play the first two games 562 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: or the first five games of the season. You got 563 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: six sacks, which leads the Texans. But here's a fun stat. 564 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 1: You lead all players age twenty four and younger in 565 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: sacks at this point in the year. You're also getting 566 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: after the running backs. I don't want to say, you're 567 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: getting after the quarterbacks the year one to year to 568 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 1: jump That's something that we hear a lot about. You're 569 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: still really young, you're early in your career. But how 570 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: different are you now than you were a year ago? Yeah, last, 571 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm just more confident. And I think overall, just like 572 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: I said, having that year in the league, understanding that 573 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's still football at end of the day. 574 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: Most people can say that, but actually knowing that when 575 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: you're on the field is a totally different thing. And 576 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: I think when I just put that to the side 577 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: and understand, Okay, it's football, end the day, these guys 578 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: put this stuff on the same way, and the stuff 579 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: that you work on the offseason, use it. I mean, 580 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: these are things that you know. You don't work on 581 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: it for nothing, and these are things that guys probably 582 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 1: haven't seen you ask some new tea repertoire. So I 583 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 1: think the successions comes for that now. I work really 584 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: hard in the off season and even still to this want, 585 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: I still work hard to see my body right so 586 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: that way, I can't make these plays on a weekend 587 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 1: and week out. So I'm excited. I mean, this is 588 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: the beginning for me. I'm still excited for where this 589 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: team goes. I mean, we've got a lot in the tank. 590 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: I think we just got to now just put it 591 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: on tape, just finish it out so that we can 592 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: get the result we want to get. Yeah, obviously not 593 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: the result that you guys want so far. Levee Smith said, 594 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: you know, we think the sack numbers are really high 595 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: for you, but Levie Smith said that you probably that 596 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: you still left some sacks on the field. Do you 597 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: feel that in game? Do you feel like, oh that 598 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,160 Speaker 1: was that was a missed opportunity or is that something 599 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: that you go back and you watch the film and 600 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: you see it. It's a little bit of both. But 601 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: majority of times I see it or I feel it, 602 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Like as soon as the play happens, I come to 603 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: the sideline like I should have had that one, Like 604 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: I just know that, you know, in the closing and 605 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: I got tripped up. I know I should have had 606 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: that one. Or is it a holding call? You just 607 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: see that, you know, whether you cleared his hand or 608 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: that's that goes back to your training, you know, clearing 609 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: those hands so that where they can't hold you, so 610 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 1: that where you don't not get the sacks. All those 611 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: little small details that you have to hone in on 612 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: and as d Liman or anybody knows you when you 613 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: missed the play because of a technique thing, you know instantly. Okay, 614 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: so I've read that you actually started playing football. It 615 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: was a funny story. You were at four years old 616 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: and somebody approached your mom about whether or not you 617 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: played football. Yeah, it was funny, she says it to 618 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: this day. And I remember the day, but I just 619 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: don't remember the way she explains it. So, I mean, 620 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 1: I was just a kid out there playing football having fun. 621 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: And you know, my coach at the time, it was 622 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: like he just gonna play football, and I never knew 623 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: anything about it. So when they brought up my mom 624 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: and my dad brought it to us, me and my brother, 625 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,960 Speaker 1: he was he was bigger than I was, so you 626 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: knew he was playing offensive line. But I was going 627 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: to play running back. But I started off as alignment 628 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: as well, and it took for me to take a 629 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 1: handoff as a nose guard. I ended up running through 630 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: the line taking a hand off back literally out of 631 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: the quarterback's hand. I was like, okay, well, this kid's 632 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: playing running back. And I honestly play running back all 633 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: the way up until like my nine tenth grade the 634 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: year of high school. So and then they moved me 635 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: to I made the transition to the tight end receiver 636 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: in D line. So those dreams of those days over 637 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: it once I hit a gross spurt, so I couldn't 638 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: play running back anymore. You're on the defensive, though you 639 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: could still you could still get the ball in your hands, 640 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: but it'd have to be a major play for that 641 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: to happen. All right. You said something once in an 642 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 1: interview that really intrigued me. You said, we never knew 643 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: as kids what we were going through until we were 644 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: older and realized what was going on. At that time. 645 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: You said your mom made it seem like you were 646 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: living in high fashion. Yeah, for sure. So how did 647 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 1: your mom make you feel that you were living a 648 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: big life when you were Yeah, I just got to 649 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: know her. I mean it's I can explain it, but 650 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: she has this energy sometimes or we didn't realize it 651 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 1: back then, but I mean she just makes she's how 652 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 1: to keep everything calm. I mean, she's been through so 653 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 1: much in her life to know, you know, how whether 654 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: any storm. Honestly, it's so many stories we have grown up, me, 655 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 1: my brother and my sister of us just like I said, 656 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: we we thought we were living lavish, but I mean 657 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: we look back now and it's like, okay, well we did. 658 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 1: We struggled a little bit. I mean, like everybody has 659 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: their stories. We had tough times, but you would never 660 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 1: know under the under that roof. I mean times where 661 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: it was money was sighte with food was sight. But 662 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: we had a meal somehow, whether it was scrapped together 663 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: or not. We we ate. So that's all I knew. 664 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: My stomach was full, I had closed on my back, 665 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: shoes on my feet, and the roof over my head, 666 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 1: and and that's all that that's all that mattered. And 667 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: then she didn't she didn't put that on us. She 668 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: didn't cast the stress of words on us. And you 669 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: never seen it on her face. She will come into 670 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: the house, Hey, how are you doing, babe, guess kids 671 00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: and all that, and she straighten the cooking every week, 672 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean every day, and it's just like a routine 673 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: for her. So that hats off to I love that 674 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,360 Speaker 1: later to death, and those are things that you know, 675 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: you take pride in and you chair those moments because 676 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: of the struggle that she not only where we going through, 677 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,040 Speaker 1: but to think about what she had, of course to 678 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,240 Speaker 1: mask all of that, and and my sister, she was 679 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: older than all of it. She's ten years older than me, 680 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: so at the time she kind of knew what was 681 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: going on, but obviously hats off to her as well. 682 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 1: She never let that be known with us as me 683 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: and me and my brother being the youngest, we didn't 684 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: know any of that was going on. They were letting 685 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:28,480 Speaker 1: you guys have just a normal, care free childhood out. 686 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: At what point did you realize that things were tougher 687 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: than she let on. I think it was when I 688 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: was mister story as well, when we were in the 689 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,040 Speaker 1: recruiting process. I was a senior in high school or 690 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,760 Speaker 1: going into my senior year and went for a visit 691 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: of the UK for a camp University Kentucky, and we 692 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: went up there and obviously things and go as planning, 693 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: and we had to make a transition down to Louisville. 694 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: But at the time we only had our plans to 695 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: go to UK at the time money wise, but we 696 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: ended up having to scrap something, some stuff together, some 697 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: coins together, and end up calling people to send money 698 00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 1: to that we were able to go to Louisville and 699 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: hell even make it back home from Kentucky, which it wasn't, 700 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: which is like I said, Louisville, Georgia, that's about five 701 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: and a half hours. Ye, so, um gas ain't cheap. 702 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 1: So when when those situations arose, I think that was 703 00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: my time and I said, okay, well I see how 704 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: it is now. I understand that. You know, money doesn't 705 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: grow on trees. I mean this is money is not 706 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: just a thing that we don't have to worry about. 707 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: It's the thing that we My mom definitely makes it 708 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: a priority for us. So when I seen that happen, instantly, 709 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: I said, well at this point, now I gotta make it. 710 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: I gotta be to this point where she has never 711 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: had to be in a situation we had to ask 712 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: anybody for money or anything that monetary, whatever physical, whatever 713 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 1: has to be. She would never have to worry about 714 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: that again. And I think from that point on, I 715 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: took it on my shoulder and I said, Okay, I'm 716 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: gonna get I'm gonna take care of Is that the 717 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: biggest motivation for you as far as playing football and 718 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: why you want to be successful in the NFL? For sure, 719 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 1: I think not just her, but just my family in general. 720 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,720 Speaker 1: We just Like I said, it was me and my 721 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: brother and my sister and my mom pretty much, and 722 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: obviously with my father at the time, but it was 723 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 1: just basically us pretty much our whole life. And I 724 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: think that's why we stick together so much now. I 725 00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: just want to take care of them. I mean, they 726 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: ay ones who pretty much you know, I cried on 727 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: this shoulders, they cried on my shoulders. We all stuck together. 728 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: And it's not that many of us, we've got a 729 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: small circles of family. But just to see the joy 730 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 1: in their faces when when things when when they have 731 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: one less thing to worry about, it that just makes 732 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: my joy. I don't have to have anything else. But 733 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 1: as long as they straight, I'm good. Oh that sounds 734 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: that's really nice.

But yeah, man, I think 770 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: the book for her she's been talking about. She's been 771 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: in the works of it for about a couple of 772 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: years now, a couple of years so from now actually 773 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: to get the story out there published and actually with 774 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: a book cover with her picture on it. Everything, the 775 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: whole process is a whole process. But every time we 776 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: talk about the book, I mean she's been writing. I 777 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: remember she just with right chapters, just be writing them 778 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: down and literally in the middle of her writing and 779 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: she's just breasting out in tears just because of the 780 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: emotions of going back to the past and stuff like that. 781 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: But that's why, like I said, her energy, her her drive, 782 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,600 Speaker 1: her determination, I get that from her. I mean, I 783 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: don't put up with none. She's gonna put up on 784 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 1: nothe either, And I just got that grinding mentality. She 785 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: gonna get it some type of way. One thing about 786 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,359 Speaker 1: my mama hustle, she gonna get it some type of way. 787 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,719 Speaker 1: And that's that's why we're in this situation we are 788 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 1: now because of how she's just poured that into me. 789 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,400 Speaker 1: And I'm bringing that up today. Are you in the 790 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:34,280 Speaker 1: book too? You think you're in the book, So I 791 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 1: think the story, I know I'm in the book, but 792 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,840 Speaker 1: I think I'll probably come a little bit later on because, 793 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,839 Speaker 1: like I think, I mean, so much stuff happened before 794 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: I was even born. I mean, me and my sisters 795 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 1: were ten years apart, so you gotta think from the 796 00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: ten year point from when she my sister was born, 797 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: and obviously my brother were four years apart, and even 798 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,120 Speaker 1: in those times, I mean, just everything that's transparred between 799 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: that point in time you'll see and it's like, wow, 800 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: she's even sane enough to even have two more children 801 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 1: after my sisters, So it's crazy. My mom. She's a fighter, man, 802 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 1: She's a warrior. I think when people really get to 803 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: know her and understand her, they will really understand why 804 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: her energy and why she's so loving. My mom has 805 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 1: no enemies. I mean, if you have an enemy. If 806 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: you're a enemy, and my mom, you gotta check yourself 807 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: to be something wrong with It's just because I mean 808 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 1: she has always Don't get me wrong, obviously everybody does. 809 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: But I think her passion for wanting to you know, 810 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 1: many relationships or be the person that you can cry 811 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: on or you know, just somebody to de vent too, 812 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: she wants to be that person. And you'll understand why 813 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: within her book. So for y'all out there, definitely go 814 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: check out the book. It's definitely hitting the stores. She 815 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: has her books on the fourteenth of November. I'll be 816 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,239 Speaker 1: traveling back for that to see that as well. And 817 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:40,920 Speaker 1: I'm just happy for her. I'm so proud of her. 818 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 1: I mean that is huge. It's huge, and it's called 819 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 1: by His Grace, By His Grace. Uh, It's when I 820 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,080 Speaker 1: tell you that that's title could not be more fitting 821 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 1: than any other title. So she took her time with 822 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,840 Speaker 1: this one, um, and I think nobody will be disappointed. 823 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: All right. So you talk about her drive, but your drive, 824 00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: you're eighteen credit hours away from getting your mbaye. Have 825 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,760 Speaker 1: you to weigh any of that or what's your plans 826 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,799 Speaker 1: for that? With COVID changed everything up. I definitely do 827 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: anticipate to finish it within this next year, really hopefully 828 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,880 Speaker 1: within the season. Well, the season's got to get through first, 829 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: and then um that off season. Like I said, really, 830 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,760 Speaker 1: eighteen creditouts is just a full year, to be honest, 831 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,880 Speaker 1: So I think I can if I have it in 832 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 1: the tank. I just want to get it out the 833 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: way while I still have college on my mind. Yeah, 834 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 1: you're not too far removed from it yet, so I 835 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: think when I when I get to that point, I 836 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: know I need to get a move on it. But 837 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,200 Speaker 1: I still got a good relationship with the director there 838 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: at the program with Parker and guys like that is 839 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,240 Speaker 1: that Florida, So yeah, I still have a good relationship 840 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 1: with them. So I pretty much just when I get 841 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,879 Speaker 1: the time before it, I'm gonna finish it up. That's 842 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 1: that's something I gotta finish out I started it. I 843 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,920 Speaker 1: gotta finish. Are you a good student? Like? How are 844 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,200 Speaker 1: you in the classroom right here in the meeting? It's crazy, 845 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 1: so high school, I was not the greatest student, but 846 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: it wasn't a matter of me not knowing the information. 847 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: I just I didn't apply myself. So um, once I 848 00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: actually applied myself and realize, Okay, well, this work is 849 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,600 Speaker 1: not hard. It's just once you put your mind to 850 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: it and knock it out, you'll be like, okay, you 851 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 1: have to take them the small lessons out of it. 852 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,719 Speaker 1: And then obviously we know that GPAs Like I say 853 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,839 Speaker 1: this to everybody, GPA is not a matter of how 854 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 1: smart you are, just about how discipline you are. Sure, 855 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: once I got over that hump of like, Okay, these 856 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: people really just think that I'm done well, I don't 857 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,520 Speaker 1: know this information really is like, look, no, we're setting 858 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 1: you up for these lessons in life. And I think overall, 859 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: once I mastered that lesson from it, I was a 860 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: better student in the classroom and in the football field too. 861 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: So it helped out all right. So Lovey says that 862 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: you're still coming into your own He says that you 863 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,440 Speaker 1: still have your best football ahead of you. What are 864 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that, and how do you think you're 865 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,359 Speaker 1: going to get better here throughout the rest of the year. Yeah, 866 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 1: I think the same thing I've been. I'm a guy 867 00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: who I'm my worst own critic. I literally, if you 868 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:37,880 Speaker 1: can say I had a good game, I don't think 869 00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: I may have a good game just because of maybe 870 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,959 Speaker 1: it's a couple of plays in there that I feel 871 00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,840 Speaker 1: like I wasn't perfect on my technique. I try to 872 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 1: be perfectionist. This game is about trying to be perfect, 873 00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,359 Speaker 1: trying to find the next step to enhance your game 874 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,719 Speaker 1: to where you're beating your opponent at the snap of 875 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: a finger. So I think overall, yeah, I'm definitely on 876 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: that same boat as he is, just because of the 877 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: things I know I'm capable of, as far as just 878 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: getting healthier, making sure the body feels right, making sure 879 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: my mind is right, you know, just make sure technique 880 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 1: everything is cleaned up. Stywack can be a more efficient player, 881 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: all right, looking forward to seeing it. John, always a pleasure. 882 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: We'll talk soon. Thank you so much for having me. 883 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 1: Great stuff from John and deep you all right, we 884 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,160 Speaker 1: get back. We gotta short you at the top of 885 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,279 Speaker 1: the hour. I'm gonna sneak in my keys to the 886 00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 1: game next right here in Texas All Access, It's time 887 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,600 Speaker 1: for my keys to the game against the La Rams. 888 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 1: I'm John Harris Football Animals sideline reporter, and we got 889 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: a quickie here at the top of the near the 890 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:37,520 Speaker 1: top of the hour, So we've got to free. Oh man, 891 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 1: I'm sorry they're not. Yeah, that's that didn't go well. 892 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: Sorry really really hate that for your ears. But either way, 893 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 1: let's get to our keys to the game against the 894 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,440 Speaker 1: La Rams. Offensively the twenty third in the league and 895 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,840 Speaker 1: rushing third in the league and passing. It all revolves 896 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 1: around Matt Stafford. I put in my article know your 897 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 1: foe deep? Is it deep enough? Why doesn't wide enough? 898 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: These dbs have got to have their heads on swivels 899 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: and they've got to continue to work deep. Cooper Cup 900 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: is a major problem. He's gonna get his no doubt. 901 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,200 Speaker 1: Got to tackle him on the spot and keep him 902 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: in front. The two guys everybody forgets about, though, are 903 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,439 Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee and Van Jefferson. They are a tremendous pass 904 00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,439 Speaker 1: catching duo. They have forty eight catches, five hundred fifty 905 00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 1: two yards and five touchdowns between them. And if you 906 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 1: go to takeaway Cup in woods Man, those who are 907 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: gonna step up and be a problem. But the Texas 908 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: defense was able to get pressure to quarterback last week. 909 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray can get out of it. Matt Stafford couldn't. 910 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,760 Speaker 1: And there's no Andrew Whitworth that defensive front has got 911 00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,719 Speaker 1: to get after it. Now on the offensive side for 912 00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 1: your Texans, this Rams defense is given up one hundred 913 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: twelve yards per game out of ground two hundred and 914 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,000 Speaker 1: sixty two through the air. Jalen Ramsey again is questionable 915 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,879 Speaker 1: for this game. Rober Rochelle Jordan Fuller are as well. 916 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: That's three of the four starters in the secondary. But 917 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: this one comes down to how well they can control 918 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. Yes, there's Leonard Floyd and the secondary is 919 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000 Speaker 1: pretty good, especially with Jaylee Ramsay's back. There no Darius Williams, 920 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,759 Speaker 1: but can you control ninety nine. You're not gonna shut 921 00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: him down, but can you control them? The Texans had 922 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:22,160 Speaker 1: problems at the guards spot, and Justin McCrae is banged up. Yikes. 923 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: They've got to find a way to slow out number 924 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 1: ninety nine the second straight week last week, what this week? Donald? Oh, 925 00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 1: very difficult, but the Texans have got to do it 926 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: to have any shout at winning the game on Sunday 927 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,839 Speaker 1: against the La Rams. All right, we get back, Let's 928 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,759 Speaker 1: go way back a little.

Drew 942 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: Doherty had a chance to catch up with former North 943 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: Shore Mustang in Houston, Texan Earl Mitchell talked about a 944 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 1: number of different things. Drew, take it away. I love 945 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:45,719 Speaker 1: the background. It's it's fitting for you because you've got 946 00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:50,600 Speaker 1: that smooth, low voice. So you got the nice lights 947 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 1: go on the dark. It looks good, man, it fits you. 948 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: I salute this choice. Well have you been. I'm appreciate 949 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: a man that goes well with the jazz. That's that's 950 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:03,520 Speaker 1: the whole vibe. I know, you know what I think 951 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 1: never I've just added in some jazz music, so I 952 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: think we'll have this going underneath the entire entire time 953 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,200 Speaker 1: talking with you. But it's good to see you. You 954 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:18,600 Speaker 1: came along in twenty ten, drafted out of the University 955 00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 1: of Arizona. But you're at one of the hallmark programs 956 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 1: high school wise, in the history of the state. You're 957 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 1: a north Shore Mustan. So how sweet was it getting 958 00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: the call and you were in town when you got 959 00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: the call from the hometown team. Yeah, it was awesome. 960 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 1: I was I wasn't sure where I was going to go. 961 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,800 Speaker 1: I was in m I was a humble with my family, 962 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,000 Speaker 1: and it was one of the best days I ever 963 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,600 Speaker 1: to get drafted. I remember when when that Texans logo 964 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 1: had popped up. It was just one of the greatest 965 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,040 Speaker 1: memories in my life. Just uh, you know, to have 966 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 1: my family there supported me and just uh, you know, 967 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 1: just a you know, just to know for them that 968 00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 1: I was going to come home was one of the 969 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: one of the best days of my life. It was 970 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: fun too, because normally when a player gets drafted, you know, 971 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,440 Speaker 1: the announcements made and then a few minutes later, the 972 00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 1: Texans media relations staff gets that player on the phone 973 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,399 Speaker 1: and he does a conference call with the local media. 974 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: And I can't remember if you did that, but I 975 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: do know for sure later that day, because you were 976 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 1: drafted on a Saturday, you did a press conference in 977 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,600 Speaker 1: the building because you were a local guy. And it 978 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: was so much fun to see, because that's rare that 979 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: the Texans get to take someone locally. They did Ross 980 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 1: Blacklock a couple of years back.

You know, I'm a part of the 996 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,399 Speaker 1: Texans Legends Ambassador's group, and that's one of the best 997 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: things that I could have done to be a part 998 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: of that group. It's a lot of former Texans in there, 999 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: and just you know, me being newly retired, I get 1000 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,520 Speaker 1: to get a lot of information from them on what 1001 00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 1: it's like to be on the other side of the ball, 1002 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,600 Speaker 1: if you will. But yeah, I just I spent a 1003 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:33,920 Speaker 1: lot of time with that, and you know, I get 1004 00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 1: I get the opportunity to go out to my hometown 1005 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: community and talk to kids in different elementary schools and 1006 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,239 Speaker 1: you know, high schools, and just do a lot of 1007 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: community work overall. Yeah, you spent nine years in the NFL. 1008 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: First four of them were here in Houston, and then 1009 00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: three years in Miami. You're in Fort Lauderdale now and 1010 00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: near by. Then you finished up with the Niners. So 1011 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000 Speaker 1: take me back though to those high school days, because 1012 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: I said it alluded to it early North Shore. I mean, 1013 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:06,799 Speaker 1: those guys are bullies. You know. You guys have been 1014 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 1: really really good now for a while what was it 1015 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 1: like being a part of that program, and you know, 1016 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 1: what was the adjustment like going from there to Arizona. 1017 00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:15,920 Speaker 1: But first, what was it like being part of the 1018 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: north Shore program? And it was, you know, doing what 1019 00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,600 Speaker 1: it did, and it's still you know, it was. It 1020 00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: was interesting being there because like you know, that the 1021 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,880 Speaker 1: talent was, the talent pool was so deep that I 1022 00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:32,000 Speaker 1: didn't understand how how good I was. I barely I 1023 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: felt like I barely played when I was there. I 1024 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,359 Speaker 1: was I was rotating with two other fullbacks and just 1025 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: fighting for playing time, just just to play fullback, you know, 1026 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: and I was, and then I I backed up tight end. 1027 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: He went to the University of Miami and just, uh, 1028 00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 1: you don't realize how um, you know, how how how 1029 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 1: good everyone else is there, But more importantly, you don't 1030 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: realize how good you actually are too. Actually leave and um, 1031 00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,040 Speaker 1: you know, and get the opportunity to uh, you know, 1032 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 1: go to college and just see a different group of guys. 1033 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 1: But but yeah, my time at north Shore, like some 1034 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: of my favorite football players just where I grew up, 1035 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,560 Speaker 1: That's where I was introduced to the game and some 1036 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,480 Speaker 1: of the best players I've been around. So I'm really 1037 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: appreactive of my time there. Yeah, and over the last 1038 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,960 Speaker 1: few years, you know, I've seen you pop off on 1039 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 1: on social media in November and in December. When those 1040 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: guys are still playing and still advancing. That's got to 1041 00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 1: be fun for you too, you know, still supporting them 1042 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,120 Speaker 1: and being around them a little bit. Yeah, Like I 1043 00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,279 Speaker 1: just I love seeing those guys just do well. I 1044 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: love seeing them go to you know, get opportunities to 1045 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,160 Speaker 1: go to college, and and just just to see that 1046 00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: program and still thriving, you know after all these years. 1047 00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,640 Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, it's a real tribute to Coach 1048 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:53,720 Speaker 1: k Uh, you know, Coach when all those coaches, Coach Lewis, 1049 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,080 Speaker 1: all those guys there that uh that that's still there 1050 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,759 Speaker 1: since I was there, and you know, I respect all 1051 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 1: those guys and what they do for those kids. You know. 1052 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 1: One of the fun things about my job is, you know, 1053 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:09,320 Speaker 1: working here in the stadium and in like mid November 1054 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 1: on through the end of November, it seems like just 1055 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,840 Speaker 1: about every Saturday, and sometimes on Fridays when there's a 1056 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: holiday like after Thanksgiving, it seems like there's always high 1057 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,279 Speaker 1: school games going on. And I've been here twelve years 1058 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,880 Speaker 1: and I can't put a number on it, but it 1059 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: almost always seems like at least once a year you're 1060 00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: walking by a North Shore game going on, you got 1061 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:30,840 Speaker 1: to get to catch a few minutes of it. So 1062 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 1: it's it's always fun to see them playing in this stadium. 1063 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 1: And you got to play in some pretty big stadium 1064 00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: when you're in high school, didn't you. Yeah, yeah, we 1065 00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,960 Speaker 1: got to going to the Alamodome and we got to 1066 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,879 Speaker 1: be played at Rice University for the state championship when 1067 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 1: I was there, and that was pretty interesting because I 1068 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: know back then they were they were you know, they 1069 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: were making us to the playoffs, but they were playing 1070 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: back in the Astrodome back in those days, and I 1071 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: think that they had like to two big losses in there, 1072 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 1: and it was they decided that they did want to 1073 00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: do that, and we went along and went to when 1074 00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:07,080 Speaker 1: the US State Championship and race. So when you did 1075 00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 1: get to Arizona, were you I'm sure you noticed the 1076 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,440 Speaker 1: talent and you were appreciative of the talent around you, 1077 00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,399 Speaker 1: but I'm guessing you weren't as kind of wide wide 1078 00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: eyed as it is maybe some of your incoming freshman 1079 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,399 Speaker 1: fellow freshmen were. Were you um, yeah, it was. It 1080 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 1: was interesting. You know, I had a couple of teammates 1081 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 1: there were from Texas and we had a lot of 1082 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,880 Speaker 1: teammates from California, and uh, and that was just that 1083 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 1: we just had like an instant rivalry on the team. 1084 00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,080 Speaker 1: And but when I got there, I just felt like 1085 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: there were so many guys that that um, you know, 1086 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:42,760 Speaker 1: that could have played on you know, on the collegiate level, 1087 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,799 Speaker 1: and that just honestly just probably didn't get the opportunity 1088 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,360 Speaker 1: for that reason. But that's just that's just kind of 1089 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,040 Speaker 1: how it goes. It's kind of you know, there's so 1090 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 1: much talent around the nation, and uh, it's just and 1091 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,920 Speaker 1: that just tells you how good that how deep the 1092 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: program is that North Shore how you know, how you 1093 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,799 Speaker 1: know how good those kids where they are. Yes, and 1094 00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 1: while you're at the University of Arizona, have an excellent career. 1095 00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 1: You played with a guy who would become your Texans 1096 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:12,440 Speaker 1: teammate a year later in Brooks Read. You also played 1097 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 1: with Rob Gronkowski. There was a lot of talent around 1098 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,440 Speaker 1: when you were there. Nick Foles was a quarterback for 1099 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,640 Speaker 1: a little bit while you were there, and you're forever 1100 00:51:19,719 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 1: a Wildcat aren't you what's going on these days?

I just I think it's 1150 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:07,799 Speaker 1: just you know, the you know, the rookie treatment. But 1151 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,239 Speaker 1: um but I'm I respect all the things that he's 1152 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: taught me because I was fairly new to the position 1153 00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: still and um, and he helped me, uh you know, 1154 00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: really understand that all it really is is just an 1155 00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,279 Speaker 1: effort game. And uh and that's what I really like 1156 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:25,640 Speaker 1: kind of that that took my game to the next level. 1157 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,719 Speaker 1: Just uh but yeah, dad, those they were hot. I 1158 00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,160 Speaker 1: had to gain. I had to gain Cohla asked me 1159 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 1: to gain about thirty thirty more poms after I just 1160 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,280 Speaker 1: gained twenty. That's not easy and and it was not easy. 1161 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 1: And the first practice, man, I like it was it 1162 00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:45,879 Speaker 1: was a rough any of my team, but they'll they'll 1163 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 1: tell you how rough it was for me at the beginning, 1164 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: but eventually things got better. Anybody that spent more than 1165 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,080 Speaker 1: one practice around those teams in those years when Kolar 1166 00:54:57,200 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 1: was a coach will forever have stay up being shrieked 1167 00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,280 Speaker 1: at like the highest level and uh that's the idea, 1168 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,839 Speaker 1: and just burned in their brains because those are two 1169 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,440 Speaker 1: things that he said all the time. Stay up, like 1170 00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,279 Speaker 1: don't get on the ground, you'll get feel fall over 1171 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,040 Speaker 1: and that's the idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, like 1172 00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,680 Speaker 1: I used to hear it, like I used to go 1173 00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,839 Speaker 1: home and I can hear it just echo and get 1174 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,560 Speaker 1: my you know, in my head, like it just wouldn't 1175 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: go away. Just it was thinking, oh yeah, yeah, he's 1176 00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,319 Speaker 1: a he's a He was a blessing from for me 1177 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: to you know, start my career and I took everything 1178 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,760 Speaker 1: that he taught me and I did my entire career. 1179 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:41,480 Speaker 1: What was like the best moment game wise rookie year 1180 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 1: for you?

It started 1182 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 1: out well and then it you know, went south. It 1183 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 1: wasn't a great year for the team as a whole 1184 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: but rookie year, What was your favorite memory? Um, my 1185 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 1: first sack? You know it was it was it was 1186 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: kind of hard getting some playing time. We had. We 1187 00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,600 Speaker 1: had some really good guys you know up there up 1188 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,080 Speaker 1: front Russian, but you know, I was I was really 1189 00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:07,840 Speaker 1: hard on myself, wondering if I was ever going to 1190 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: get my first set and I and it came in 1191 00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:14,480 Speaker 1: the last game of the season, I guess the Titans. 1192 00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,239 Speaker 1: So that was like, you know, I was finally I 1193 00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,040 Speaker 1: finally felt like, uh, you know, part of the team 1194 00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: when I got a set, So that that was probably 1195 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,520 Speaker 1: at the moment, and then things changed the next year. 1196 00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,160 Speaker 1: Wade Phillips comes in. It's a new defront defense. You 1197 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: go from a four three to three four. I know 1198 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,279 Speaker 1: when we've heard from Sean Cody about that time, he 1199 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 1: was kind of scared because you know, like that wasn't 1200 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: really kind of what he fit he thought, but he 1201 00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,920 Speaker 1: said Wade calmed him down and said nod. So was 1202 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 1: it a similar situation for you? Were you kind of wondering, Hey, 1203 00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 1: where do I fit in?

We have we have Sean and 1213 00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,440 Speaker 1: arrow and like. And the way that he answered that 1214 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 1: just made me feel so much more confident going into 1215 00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: that season, going to you know, me and coach about him. 1216 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:25,760 Speaker 1: Just he gave me so much confidence just knowing, uh, 1217 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 1: you know how he kind of responded to them, so, 1218 00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, just so nonchalantly about it.

All right, hit my music and let's go. 1333 01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:47,040 Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna start in Atlanta, where the Falcons 1334 01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:50,160 Speaker 1: are playing some really good football. They've won, I believe, 1335 01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 1: three in a row three and three. Panthers have lost 1336 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: four in a row. Not good last week for the Panthers. 1337 01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,240 Speaker 1: As Sam Darnold got pulled out of that game. PJ. 1338 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:03,760 Speaker 1: Walker went in. He didn't get much better for the Panthers. 1339 01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,880 Speaker 1: The Falcons are actually favored by three at home, and 1340 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:09,920 Speaker 1: I like it. I like the number. I think the 1341 01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:14,160 Speaker 1: Falcons are. They're coming together for Arthur Smith. I love it. 1342 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Falcons not only to win at home, 1343 01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 1: but to cover that three points. Now, there's sometimes when 1344 01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:27,600 Speaker 1: teams get desperate, I get worried, and that could be 1345 01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: the Panthers, but I just don't think so. I think 1346 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Sam's lost a little bit of confidence that he's playing 1347 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,200 Speaker 1: with the first three games. No, he didn't face great 1348 01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,400 Speaker 1: defenses in any of those. The Panther He did have 1349 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,200 Speaker 1: some success against the Texans, but the Falcons defense has 1350 01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,360 Speaker 1: put it together. So I'm going Falcons to win, to cover, 1351 01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:47,120 Speaker 1: and I'll just I'll roll the dice like you would 1352 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:50,000 Speaker 1: playing craps at Caesar's. How about that? All right? Dolphins 1353 01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 1: going to take on the Bills up in Western New York. 1354 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,080 Speaker 1: The Bills are coming off a bye week the Dolphins. 1355 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:58,880 Speaker 1: Things are not going well, but Brian Flores did say 1356 01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,480 Speaker 1: the two a tongue of by law was his quarterback 1357 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 1: will be his quarterback is his quarterback unless he gets injured. 1358 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 1: Buffalo is fair by fourteen. I think the Bills house 1359 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:13,280 Speaker 1: to Dolphins. Dolphins offense with two. It did play pretty 1360 01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,640 Speaker 1: well last week against the Falcons, but couldn't put enough 1361 01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:19,960 Speaker 1: up on the board because the Dolphins defense got shredd. 1362 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 1: Did Bills win and they're gonna cover that fourteen? But 1363 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 1: that's a tough one to That's a tough one to cover. 1364 01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:29,919 Speaker 1: But I think the Bills are gonna do it. Let's 1365 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: go thirty four fourteen. I think that thirty four seventeen 1366 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,800 Speaker 1: will get a tone. I like that thirty four seventeen. 1367 01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: Let's go with the Bills to win at home after 1368 01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 1: the bye. The forty nine ers are taken on the Bears. Now, 1369 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 1: this game a couple of years from now, I would 1370 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:51,640 Speaker 1: think would be Trey Lance versus justin Fields. God only 1371 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,320 Speaker 1: knows what it's going to be this week. The Bears 1372 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 1: offense is just ugly. Matt Naggie is in the COVID 1373 01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,560 Speaker 1: nineteen protocol. I don't know if he's come out. I 1374 01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna matter. The Bears are a dog 1375 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 1: at home to San Francisco that got beat by twelve 1376 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,960 Speaker 1: by the Colts on Sunday night. I don't like anything 1377 01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,960 Speaker 1: about this game, especially the fact that San Francisco's favored. 1378 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,800 Speaker 1: I think it just says the Bears can't move the ball. 1379 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 1: Here's what I would do. I'm not sure what the 1380 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: overunder is on this I would take the under. What 1381 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:23,400 Speaker 1: is the under? Let me see if like an find 1382 01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,000 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, the Unders thirty nine and a half, but 1383 01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 1: it feels like seventeen fourteen, Like that's gonna be the score. 1384 01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: You know what. Let's go Bears in an upset? Do 1385 01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,160 Speaker 1: I want to do that? Yeah, let's do it. Bears upset. 1386 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,720 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers cover the four. I don't know how 1387 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Justin Fields is gonna pull some miracles, 1388 01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,040 Speaker 1: but we're gonna go with it. Bears at home. I 1389 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 1: just don't like the forty nine Ers as a road favorite. 1390 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't trust them at all. So let's 1391 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:55,920 Speaker 1: go Bears to win that one in and upset at home. 1392 01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Browns. Baker Mayfield was back at 1393 01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:02,480 Speaker 1: practice and he did get cleared to play, but when 1394 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,160 Speaker 1: they showed him throwing the football, yikes, he didn't look 1395 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: good at all. The Steelers playing better football, but I 1396 01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,200 Speaker 1: don't know if I trust them going to Cleveland. I 1397 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:14,360 Speaker 1: think the Browns, even with Case Keenum, if they gotta 1398 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,560 Speaker 1: start Case, I feel good about that. Browns are favorite 1399 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:18,480 Speaker 1: by four, like the Browns will win this one by 1400 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:23,440 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Let's go twenty four seventeen Brownies. Here we go, Brownies, 1401 01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,480 Speaker 1: Here we go. Browns win cover the four and move 1402 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: to five and three, which moves the Steelers to three 1403 01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 1: and four. Another twelve dude game, Eagles taken on the Lions. 1404 01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:38,960 Speaker 1: Things not going well in Philadelphia. Nick Serriana, first year 1405 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,800 Speaker 1: head coach. I like his analogies, though his analogies are 1406 01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 1: very very good. But the Eagles are struggling. Lions just 1407 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 1: can't get a win. But the Lions are actually playing 1408 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,800 Speaker 1: hard for Dan Campbell. Then they're playing well at times. 1409 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: They should be two and five. They lost two games 1410 01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:58,520 Speaker 1: on fifty four plus yard fuel goals. I think the 1411 01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,480 Speaker 1: Lions are gonna win this one home. Philip, he's fair 1412 01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:02,360 Speaker 1: at three and a half. I think phil I was 1413 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 1: gonna get beat at home or on the road in 1414 01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Detroit four field. Let's go Lions to win, and obviously 1415 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:14,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna cover. It's another upset home Dog Bears and Lions. 1416 01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: NFC North home Dogs gonna win game of the AFC South. 1417 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:24,679 Speaker 1: The Titans, at five and two and playing extremely good football, 1418 01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,000 Speaker 1: are going to take on the Colts. Colts are three 1419 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,880 Speaker 1: and four and the Colts are favored by two and 1420 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:35,320 Speaker 1: a half. I man, the spreads are just weird this week, 1421 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,400 Speaker 1: really weird. I would have put this probably in it 1422 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:41,920 Speaker 1: even to be honest. But the Colts are playing better, 1423 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,200 Speaker 1: no doubt they They didn't work their business against us, 1424 01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:49,120 Speaker 1: and then they spank forty nine ers and earlier in 1425 01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:51,040 Speaker 1: the year the Titans got all over the Colts. But 1426 01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,160 Speaker 1: Quinn Nelson's back one hundred percent. He's back, and that helps. 1427 01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 1: Do I go against the Colts in Lucas Oil. Going 1428 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,559 Speaker 1: against the Colts means more than likely I'm going against 1429 01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:06,679 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. I don't know that. I feel totally confident 1430 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,160 Speaker 1: that because I think Carson's playing a lot better. Do 1431 01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm going with the Colts even this 1432 01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,080 Speaker 1: thing up to get the four and four, knock the 1433 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Titans down to five and three, and the Colts are 1434 01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 1: gonna cover that two and a half. They're gonna tackle 1435 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,400 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry this time, and that's gonna be the difference. 1436 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,240 Speaker 1: Colts win. Colts covered the two and a half. My gosh. 1437 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:30,559 Speaker 1: Bengals taken on the Jets. Zach Wilson out. The Jets 1438 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:36,200 Speaker 1: went and got Joe Flacco. How do you feel about that? 1439 01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:42,840 Speaker 1: They have Mike White and Mike White yeah, since his 1440 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,240 Speaker 1: favorite by ten and a half. That's not enough. Bengals 1441 01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:47,320 Speaker 1: are going on the road. They will trounce the Jets 1442 01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,760 Speaker 1: and they win this by two touchdowns. Rams Texans a 1443 01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,559 Speaker 1: new game. You know, I don't pick against my heart 1444 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 1: in my head, so I won't pick that. But that's 1445 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 1: your last nude game. Let's go out to La. The 1446 01:09:57,120 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Patriots are taking on the Chargers in La. Last year 1447 01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 1: was the Rams. This year's the Chargers are taken on 1448 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:05,200 Speaker 1: Patriots three and four, Charges four and two. Chargers favored 1449 01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,400 Speaker 1: by four and a half. Patriots are playing better football. 1450 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,840 Speaker 1: Back last week they put up a fifty burger on 1451 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 1: the Jets. I don't think that happens this time. I 1452 01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,519 Speaker 1: think Herbert gets on track. I think the Chargers put 1453 01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 1: up some points. I mean, look Davis strow for three 1454 01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,640 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve yards and three touchdowns that the tremendous 1455 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,160 Speaker 1: passer rating gets the Patriots. I don't think the Patriots 1456 01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,400 Speaker 1: defense is that good and they haven't had too many 1457 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 1: guys come back. I'm going Chargers to cover that four 1458 01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,680 Speaker 1: and a half and win in so Fi. Chargers win 1459 01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,240 Speaker 1: five and two. Chargers Patriots drop the three and five. 1460 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 1: The Jags are taken on the Seahawks after London and 1461 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 1: then a bye week. Then the Jags a gotta make 1462 01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:45,640 Speaker 1: the longest trip of the year outside of London to 1463 01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,360 Speaker 1: go take on the Seahawks and Gino Smith no Russell Wilson. 1464 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,320 Speaker 1: That should give the Jaguars a chance. However, I think 1465 01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 1: Gino and the Seahawks band together and get this win 1466 01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: their favorite by three and a half. I don't like 1467 01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:01,400 Speaker 1: the half, but they're gonna cover that. I'm going twenty 1468 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:06,080 Speaker 1: four nineteen. Let's go with that. Seahawks to beat the Jags, 1469 01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:09,160 Speaker 1: where the Jagson win in six. Seahawks will go to 1470 01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 1: three and five. Another three o'clock game, Washington the football 1471 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:17,960 Speaker 1: team taking on the Broncos. Two teams headed in the 1472 01:11:18,000 --> 01:11:23,200 Speaker 1: wrong direction. I have no idea what the Broncos are 1473 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,519 Speaker 1: gonna do at quarterback. That worries me the Washington football team. 1474 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,760 Speaker 1: This is a second straight week on the road. They 1475 01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: couldn't get any offense really working against Green Bay. I 1476 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 1: think a Broncos favored by three is right at it. 1477 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,720 Speaker 1: Let's go Broncos to win this one. But because I'm 1478 01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 1: not totally sure, I'm gonna go Washington cover. I think 1479 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 1: Denver is gonna win this, but Washington gonna cover. It's 1480 01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,360 Speaker 1: gonna be like a one two point game, even inside 1481 01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:47,680 Speaker 1: the three. So let's go with that. Bucks taking on 1482 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: the Saints. It's a tremendous game. I don't know if 1483 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:53,120 Speaker 1: mark Ingram will play for the Saints. But Tampa Bay 1484 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,799 Speaker 1: is favored by four and a half in the Dome 1485 01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:58,799 Speaker 1: where the Buccaneers finally got to win in the playoff 1486 01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:03,200 Speaker 1: game last year. I think Tampa Bay does it again. 1487 01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,000 Speaker 1: I think Tampa Bay gets all over Jamis Winston. They 1488 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: will cover that four and a half. The Saints will 1489 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:11,680 Speaker 1: put a few up on the board, but the Buccaneers 1490 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,560 Speaker 1: are gonna win this one. Let's go thirty one twenty 1491 01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 1: three Bucks win, Bucks win. Although one of my favorite 1492 01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: guys in the league, Tomorrio David's plays for the Saints. 1493 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:23,519 Speaker 1: I like him. He's gonna do a good job, but 1494 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: Brady's gonna slice him up in secondary. All right, Sunday 1495 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:30,759 Speaker 1: Night game, Cowboys Vikings, but it's a good one. Minnesota's 1496 01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: favorite by three. I think part of that is because 1497 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 1: Dak is not totally healthy, and I don't know that 1498 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: I love the Cowboys. If Dak is not totally ready 1499 01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 1: to go, let's go Vikings in this one, Vikings to win. 1500 01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,400 Speaker 1: And it's right at three. Let's go Vikings to win 1501 01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:49,920 Speaker 1: it cover. If Dak plays, I'll totally go Cowboys. But 1502 01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,120 Speaker 1: I think this line represents the fact Vegas does not 1503 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 1: expect him to play. Monday Night Giants at Chiefs. Giants 1504 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,400 Speaker 1: at Chiefs, that's your money night game. The g men 1505 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: taking on the Chiefs. You can't say that's your money 1506 01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,840 Speaker 1: night game. If the Chiefs don't win nap by twenty one, 1507 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,400 Speaker 1: I'll be disappointed in Andy reading the Chiefs Chiefs Wind 1508 01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:13,800 Speaker 1: will cover the nine and a half. So there you go. 1509 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:19,759 Speaker 1: My picks brought to you by Caesar's Rewards for every 1510 01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,400 Speaker 1: way you play.

And on this 1525 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 1: video version, I can see this humongous trophy. So first 1526 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 1: of all, Ryan, congratulations on tro being named mascot of 1527 01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,760 Speaker 1: the Year. Thank you. How does it feel, Oh, it's 1528 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 1: it's incredible. It's kind of funny. So I've been I've 1529 01:14:29,400 --> 01:14:31,679 Speaker 1: been working here. This is my seventh season working with Toro, 1530 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:34,639 Speaker 1: and when I first joined the team like that, always 1531 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,360 Speaker 1: like our goal was to have the number one mascot 1532 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,200 Speaker 1: program in the NFL. So to finally have the trophy, 1533 01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,519 Speaker 1: it's it kind of feels like we've kind of we've 1534 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:44,080 Speaker 1: done it. We've accomplished our goal. But we've got a 1535 01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,000 Speaker 1: lot planned so we don't plan on just stopping here. 1536 01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:48,120 Speaker 1: We got a lot more stuff in order, all right. 1537 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 1: So for those of you people that don't know, what 1538 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:53,519 Speaker 1: does your role with Toro include, because we say senior 1539 01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,360 Speaker 1: mascot coordinator, what does that really mean to people outside 1540 01:14:56,400 --> 01:14:59,400 Speaker 1: of the organization. Yeah, it's true, and my title is 1541 01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:01,000 Speaker 1: even longer than that. I think at this point, I 1542 01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,800 Speaker 1: wear a lot of different hats. But yeah, basically, my 1543 01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:05,640 Speaker 1: job is just kind of handled the day to day 1544 01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 1: operations of the mascot program. So I'm answering calls, responding 1545 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:13,000 Speaker 1: to appearance requests, working internally to make sure we're you know, 1546 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:16,280 Speaker 1: working with our community department and our marketing department and 1547 01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,040 Speaker 1: with our sponsorship department and making sure we're kind of 1548 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,720 Speaker 1: accomplishing all their goals. And on top of that, we 1549 01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:23,680 Speaker 1: go out into the community and I'm with Toro it 1550 01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:26,400 Speaker 1: at all of our appearances, and we do a lot 1551 01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,640 Speaker 1: of educational school programs, so when we're in school, I 1552 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,639 Speaker 1: host our school programs. I also help out with tourro 1553 01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: social media account. So a lot of times on game day, 1554 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 1: it's not Toro posting, it's me because obviously Tours a 1555 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,960 Speaker 1: little busy on game to be posting on Twitter. But yeah, 1556 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,160 Speaker 1: I guess said lots of hats, but it's a blast. 1557 01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 1: I love what I do, all right. Well, that's it's 1558 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,720 Speaker 1: also handy because Tour doesn't speak, so it's very hard 1559 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 1: for me to get toward to do an interview, as 1560 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:50,120 Speaker 1: much as I'd like to have them on. But I 1561 01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:51,880 Speaker 1: want to ask you about Mascot of the Year. What 1562 01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 1: was that selection process? Like, like, what what does that 1563 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 1: competition look like? And how did Toro get picked? I mean, 1564 01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 1: we obvious you know he's great, but how did he 1565 01:16:01,040 --> 01:16:02,760 Speaker 1: get picked to be mask out of the Year. Yeah, 1566 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,680 Speaker 1: So every year there's an NFL Mascot Conference, so all 1567 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,120 Speaker 1: the NFL mascots get together, they talk about well talk 1568 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:11,880 Speaker 1: right about what has worked well, what they've been up to, 1569 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: different programs they've been working with, just kind of like 1570 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,880 Speaker 1: a meeting of the mines, and it's a chance for 1571 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 1: guys to celebrate their accomplishments and share different things that 1572 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,640 Speaker 1: can work in different markets. And on top of that, 1573 01:16:22,680 --> 01:16:25,000 Speaker 1: they always vote for a bunch of awards. So Tours 1574 01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 1: actually won awards a couple of times, so he's won 1575 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 1: Stunt of the Year before, but it never won Mask 1576 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 1: out of the Year. So it's voted on buyer peers. 1577 01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:33,800 Speaker 1: So all the other mascots vote every single time for 1578 01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:36,960 Speaker 1: each award, and so all the other mascots got together 1579 01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 1: and this year, Toro had the most votes, and so 1580 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,519 Speaker 1: NFL Mask out of the Year. I saw mark Ingram 1581 01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,280 Speaker 1: was miked up a few maybe a few games ago, 1582 01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:47,479 Speaker 1: or he was talking about Toro. He's like, well, that's 1583 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:48,760 Speaker 1: why he's Mask out of the Year. I think he 1584 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,360 Speaker 1: was repelling from the roof of NRG Stadium. But what 1585 01:16:51,439 --> 01:16:53,320 Speaker 1: do you think it was that Toro did that really 1586 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 1: set him apart in this particular year. We always see 1587 01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,880 Speaker 1: these crazy stunts, but do you think there was something 1588 01:16:58,920 --> 01:17:01,519 Speaker 1: in particular that really set on part this year, I 1589 01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:03,680 Speaker 1: think so. I mean, obviously we do a lot year 1590 01:17:03,720 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: to year every single year, but for winning the twenty 1591 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty twenty one NFL Mascot of the Year Award, 1592 01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:10,200 Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing we can kind of point 1593 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,840 Speaker 1: back to is, you know, last year was was crazy, 1594 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,360 Speaker 1: and when everyone was forced home, Toro came up with 1595 01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:20,519 Speaker 1: this great idea virtual school room visits. So we did 1596 01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 1: over two hundred visits, basically just calling into different classrooms 1597 01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:26,920 Speaker 1: and just hanging out with the kids and we played 1598 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,760 Speaker 1: games and just kind of an opportunity to kind of 1599 01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:31,519 Speaker 1: like spread a little bit of joy when things were 1600 01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 1: a little strange. So it's like these kids are all 1601 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,960 Speaker 1: at home and are just on their laptops and school 1602 01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:38,640 Speaker 1: was not necessarily normal in any way sharp perform, and 1603 01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 1: we just wanted to bring a little bit of joy. 1604 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,680 Speaker 1: So after starting the program out, we started to see 1605 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 1: all the mascots, I mean in Major League Baseball and 1606 01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,479 Speaker 1: the NBA guys across the entire country started kind of 1607 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 1: following our lead. So I think that was a big 1608 01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,200 Speaker 1: part of it for sure. It was basically revolutionizing kind 1609 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,200 Speaker 1: of what mascots were doing for a couple of months there. 1610 01:17:54,800 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 1: But on top of that, I mean last year was 1611 01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:58,680 Speaker 1: was big for us, just when it came to our 1612 01:17:58,720 --> 01:18:01,519 Speaker 1: game presentation stuff, we were at gay home games, you know, 1613 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,320 Speaker 1: on social media, I think we had a pretty good year. 1614 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 1: So I just think overall, we did a great job 1615 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,439 Speaker 1: of kind of showcasing everything we were doing and sort 1616 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 1: of a strange and as everyone would say, like unprecedented times. 1617 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:12,519 Speaker 1: So I think it was just it was one of 1618 01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,040 Speaker 1: those things where all of our ideas kind of can 1619 01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,879 Speaker 1: be other perfectly, and those virtual visits were really, really amazing. 1620 01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm always so impressed with Toros social media savvy, like 1621 01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:25,200 Speaker 1: he's on the ball with responding and liking and posting 1622 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 1: funny memes and anything that's going viral. Toros on top 1623 01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:29,920 Speaker 1: of it.

I mean, it's hard because you've just got 1626 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 1: to be present at all times. But social media, I 1627 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,600 Speaker 1: mean it's a perfect kind of chance to give a 1628 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:41,320 Speaker 1: mask out of voice, right, Like mascots don't get to 1629 01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:43,519 Speaker 1: talk when they're out in the community, but they've got 1630 01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,720 Speaker 1: thumbs sometimes, and you know, I've got thumbs. So even 1631 01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,320 Speaker 1: if Toro can't tweet something or can't post something on Instagram, 1632 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,400 Speaker 1: that's an opportunity for me to help out. And on 1633 01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,120 Speaker 1: top of that, we were one of the first mascots 1634 01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: that were on TikTok, So you know last year bidding 1635 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:00,679 Speaker 1: the bowl he was, he really kind of up everywhere. 1636 01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:02,680 Speaker 1: Well we were right behind him, so we were all 1637 01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,360 Speaker 1: over TikTok for a while there. And I'll tell you what, 1638 01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: TikTok is a strange platform, but it's a lot of fun. 1639 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 1: It's all about creativity and having fun and just kind 1640 01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: of being funny, right, And that's that's a perfect round 1641 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:14,439 Speaker 1: for a mascot to kind of showcase who they are. 1642 01:19:14,600 --> 01:19:17,479 Speaker 1: So last year was great because we were able to 1643 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,240 Speaker 1: really just kind of break loose and just do some 1644 01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,439 Speaker 1: goofy things on social media.

How much is that 1677 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,479 Speaker 1: something that you can build on because I know you've 1678 01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:44,600 Speaker 1: got that confidence, said, hey, give me a shot. I 1679 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:46,479 Speaker 1: got a chance, don't you. Yeah, I'll be honest with 1680 01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,599 Speaker 1: that was my hand out a conversation with coach loving 1681 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,400 Speaker 1: coach King just you know, hey, just just letting me 1682 01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: roll and be able to use his team anyway I can. 1683 01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:56,679 Speaker 1: It was definitely a great week by in my opinion, 1684 01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:58,000 Speaker 1: I felt like I could got a lot more on 1685 01:20:58,040 --> 01:20:59,600 Speaker 1: the tank. I can do a lot more. You know, 1686 01:20:59,640 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 1: that's not something that satisfied at the end of the day. 1687 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 1: We want to get a win. That's the biggest thing. 1688 01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:06,680 Speaker 1: And me personally, just continue getting better every single week. 1689 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,240 Speaker 1: That's my biggest model, just getting better every week. Yeah, 1690 01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, and it starts this week against a Rams 1691 01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,639 Speaker 1: offense pretty high power. Let's start with a run game first. 1692 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:16,880 Speaker 1: Doesn't get as much notoriety as the guys throwing and 1693 01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 1: catching the ball, But Darryl Henderson. So, Na, Michelle, what 1694 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:22,160 Speaker 1: do you make of what they do on the ground 1695 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,439 Speaker 1: as a whole. I watched Sony when he was at Georgia, 1696 01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,200 Speaker 1: so I kind of, you know, see what he brings 1697 01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,840 Speaker 1: to the table. And Daryl asked for they all pretty 1698 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,479 Speaker 1: good all purpose back So keeping those guys teamed and 1699 01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,760 Speaker 1: respecting them. Playing a run and when it when it's 1700 01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:35,519 Speaker 1: trying to throw, it's trying to throw. But the biggest 1701 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,080 Speaker 1: thing is stopping the run. And I gotta doll it 1702 01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:39,800 Speaker 1: up and put up a good game plan and um, 1703 01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, stay gap control and continue to play those guys. 1704 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:45,479 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford has been sacked just seven times this year. 1705 01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:47,720 Speaker 1: What are they doing to keep him from hitting the deck? 1706 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 1: They just played well as a unit from the front 1707 01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,680 Speaker 1: five to the running back to the Cooper Cup. You 1708 01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:54,320 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. All those guys are really dialed 1709 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:57,240 Speaker 1: and you could just tell just a body balled in 1710 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,120 Speaker 1: until what coach McVeigh is doing over there. So that's 1711 01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:02,680 Speaker 1: why they're so explosive. When you have one unit that 1712 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:04,960 Speaker 1: eleven guys that is playing at the same heartbeat, it's 1713 01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:06,760 Speaker 1: bitter sweet. And that's the thing. What we want to 1714 01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:09,280 Speaker 1: do here. Yeah, and you see they're doing that as 1715 01:22:09,320 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: a unit. But then if you focus just in on him, 1716 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,160 Speaker 1: what does he do so well? What a stafford? What 1717 01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:18,240 Speaker 1: makes him so good and so effective? Right now? Gotta cannon? 1718 01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,639 Speaker 1: Gott a cannon still can move? Yeah, very smart. Watching 1719 01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:24,680 Speaker 1: the tape win, especially against the Lions, and he just 1720 01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,600 Speaker 1: saw things before it happened. I'm really watching it and 1721 01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,000 Speaker 1: we wanted to just like, how do you see that? 1722 01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:33,960 Speaker 1: But that's just coming from just a decade in the league, basically, 1723 01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:36,800 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. So I'm so excited for an 1724 01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,280 Speaker 1: opportunity going against Columara last week. I was excited for 1725 01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,880 Speaker 1: the opportunity, but I'm even more excited for this one too. Yeah. 1726 01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,760 Speaker 1: So I just can't wait till, you know, be able 1727 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 1: to put up a good game against these guys. Yeah, 1728 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:48,800 Speaker 1: we can't either. It's gonna be fun. I don't energy 1729 01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:51,800 Speaker 1: stadium on Sunday.
