00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Welcome to the Ozone Podcast with Jaguars senior writer John Osher.

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome into this week's Ozone podcast. I get

4
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: right to it. We have Jordan Lewis, cornerback who signed

5
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: as a free agency offseason, and Jordan, first of all,

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 2: thank you for doing this very.

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Much, no problem.

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: And we were talking a little bit before went on

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: the air free agency doesn't always work. You kind of

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 2: smiled and said, Hey, I can count on one hand

11
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: the number of times it has. What's gone right, because

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: it's been notable since you got here, the leadership, everything,

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 2: what a fitted has been Uh.

14
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: Why So like when when James he told me to

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 3: come here and be myself, And when I first talked

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: to Coach Liam, he told me going here and just

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: be who you are. And I know that Coach Liam

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 3: and James have been watching me for a while because

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: you know, they were with the Rims and that I

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 3: played the Rams a few time, so they knew exactly

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: what they were getting to me. So when they came

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: to come get me, they knew the type of person

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 3: I was, and they had you know, people around the

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: lead telling them, you know, my type of character. And

25
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: it was just easy because I could just be who

26
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: I am, so I didn't have to be extra. I

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: didn't have to do anything that I wasn't used to doing,

28
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 3: So just came in and just was the person that

29
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 3: I am.

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: It strikes me a fairly unique situation, A chance in

31
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: year nine to come in and be a part of something,

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 2: something that clearly you may not have a great feel

33
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: for it because you weren't here last year, but it's

34
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: such a new vibe and it's such a chance to

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: be part of it on the ground floor. It helps

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: something grow. How appealing was that? And how about you

37
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: enjoying that?

38
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: That was everything?

39
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: When I talked to Coach Camp on the phone, you

40
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: could just hear, you know, how excited he was to

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: go out there and challenge people and go out there

42
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: and have a really good defense. So I want to

43
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: spearhead something like that. I always wanted to be a

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 3: guy that you know, people could you know, depend on

45
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 3: and lean on in the locker room and you know,

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: on the field. So to be around the type of

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 3: people that were around every day, you know, the coaches,

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: to the players, it means the world, man, because we

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: have the talent to go do it and in the

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: right mindset to go, you know, do really good things.

51
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: Man.

52
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: So it was like a whirlwind. We we got everything right.

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: The front off is right, the coaching staff and the players.

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 3: So it's just a perfect storm and we go and

55
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: you have those three things that's in unison, you can

56
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: you can do really good things.

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 2: I was gonna get Tim later. You brought him up

58
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 2: coach camp. Quite the person, yea. And I heard a

59
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 2: couple of guys talk about, Hey, you know it's sleep.

60
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: What are your impressions of him? And what is he

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 2: meant to bring in his group together?

62
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: Man?

63
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: He's just he's His energy is you know, infectious man.

64
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: So just being around him every single day and just

65
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: know knowing how vulnerable he is. He told us the

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: story about his dad and you know him when he

67
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: was wrestling and how when he was wrestling he didn't

68
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: give it as all and his dad told him to

69
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: find it right home. And it was it just you know,

70
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: just being that vulnerable and telling him, you know, and

71
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: relating it back to you know, going out there and

72
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: just going and playing as hard as we can and

73
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: giving it all. And we've you know, come out on

74
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: top of a lot of the times. That's that just

75
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: means the world to us, and we can we want

76
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: to run through a wall for him because he's just,

77
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 3: you know, completely transparent with us, and he he wants

78
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: to go out there and he loves us and he wants.

79
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,520

00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: And he said once right when he first got here,

88
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 2: He said, Look, scheme's fine, but to him, coaching is

89
00:03:54,760 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: about connecting and knowing you guys believe that he these

103
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,960

112
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: not about, you know more and so the games and

113
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: things like that is more so our process and how

114
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: we do things and how we do our day to

115
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: day you know, how hard we practice, how detail we practice,

116
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: you know, how detailed we are in the meetings, you know,

117
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 3: and what's our connection off the field. So that's really

118
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: what we think about on a day to day basis, what.

119
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 2: Does it meant to you to be a captain immediately

120
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: on a new teams.

121
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: That I've been waiting for that for a while, I

122
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: mean unofficially I've been a captain for a while, but yeah,

123
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 3: for the team, you know, the staff and no unofficially. Yeah,

124
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: so in that less you know, I was on you know,

125
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 3: the leadership and median and things like that. But to

126
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: have that seat on the on the jersey, to go

127
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 3: out there and represent the guys and the staff the

128
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 3: right way and for them to believe in me as

129
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 3: early as they have, it just means the world.

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm ready to run through a wall

131
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: for them because.

132
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: They believe in me and they have hope that I can,

133
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: you know, lead this team to to victories.

134
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: How do you how do you lead? And what I

135
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: mean by that is, you know, sometimes when a veteran

136
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 2: comes in new and sort of is just doling out advice,

137
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: young guys can sort of say, okay, well, so how

138
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: do you approach uh being a leader and being there.

139
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 3: For guys like like coach Camperanelli has with me, how

140
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 3: Coach Liam has with me. You know, just building a relationship,

141
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 3: you know, build a relationship with those guys. If we

142
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 3: have any chance to go do something outside of football,

143
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 3: we go do it. And you know, I don't miss

144
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 3: a chance to go, you know, and just connect with

145
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 3: them and I just talk about football, just seeing how

146
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: they're doing as people and you know, trying to develop

147
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: them as you know, human beings more so than just

148
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 3: being able to you know, all yeah, just lead them

149
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: on or tell them what to do, or being charged

150
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 3: on the field. So just that connectivity, just being a

151
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: just a human being to them, you know, a decent

152
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 3: human being honestly.

153
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: And that's that's what I wanted as when I was.

154
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 3: A young player, just somebody that wanted to be around me,

155
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: you know, and not only just showed me the roles,

156
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: but wanted to be interested in me and as a person.

157
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: So I'm just doing what I always wanted from when

158
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: I was a young rookie, second year a guy.

00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: with a lot of guys too, Like just showing them

178
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 3: who you are off the field and not just this

179
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: facade of I'm a leader.

180
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: Right now, are you the big brother or you the dad?

181
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm the big brother.

182
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm too small to be your dad on the

183
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: football team, you know, I'm a big brother, man. But

184
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: like I'm just I want them to know that, you know,

185
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: I'm I'm a peer of theirs. You know that you

186
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: know can help you go through this life and on

187
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: the football field. Not I'm not trying to, you know,

188
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 3: say I've I'm you know, a level above anybody.

189
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: I want to I want to leave from the back.

190
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: I want to service people.

191
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 3: So that's really what it is, just going out there

192
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 3: and helping people and serving.

193
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to be anybody's father. I just want

194
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: to help.

195
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: I've heard so much. I guess really since training camp

196
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: be in about the level of communication and defensive backfield.

197
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 2: It's something they lacked last year. Something they brought in

198
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: you and Eric and do He's in the lineup for

199
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: that reason. What does communication mean in the defensive backfield?

200
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if football to know it, how does

201
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: that come to life.

202
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: That's the difference between a touchdown and you know, stopping

203
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: some people on third downs and things like that. So

204
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: when you communicate and we all on the same page

205
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: and we know how we're gonna play everything exact to

206
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: the you know, the structure of the defense is harder

207
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: for the offense to you know, to get one overall us.

208
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: So when we don't communicate and people are guessing and

209
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 3: people are saying, Ahwa's gonna play it like this, that's

210
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: when you know, the deep ball gets over our heads

211
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So us being on the screws

212
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: is us you know, talking first, understanding what we're doing

213
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 3: exactly to the t on that certain play, and that

214
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: takes that takes time, and that takes communication on a

215
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: very high level. So pre snap, we gotta go out

216
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 3: there and talk to each other and let each other

217
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: know what we have and you know, alert this, alert that,

218
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: so we all on our p's and q's and know

219
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 3: exactly what to do.

220
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: Some specifics before I get into a little bit of

221
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: your story. Not a bad wide receiver group you're playing

222
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: this week? How from a corner's perspective? Tell me why

223
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: these guys are still good?

224
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

225
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: I mean they're extremely explosive. One just on the outside

226
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: and that's not in Pluton. You know how connected they

227
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 3: are to their quarterback and that is that takes them

228
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: on another level too.

229
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: So they're extremely talented one.

230
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: And then you have a guy that they've been with

231
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: since they've been in the league and a guy that

232
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: they've been a guy one of the guys been with

233
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: them since he was in college, so that the rapport

234
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: is is second to none, I feel like in the NFL.

235
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 3: So they understand where they want to be on the

236
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: football field, and they understand where they want to throw

237
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: the ball and where they want.

238
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: To catch the ball. So one, they're extremely talented.

239
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 3: They can run and catch, they can go and get

240
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 3: the ball, they can run routes. And then it's a

241
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 3: guy that can put the ball on pinpoint accuracy. So

242
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: that that doesn't help us. Yeah, and they gonna keep coming.

243
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: They're gonna keep throwing the ball at no matter what

244
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 3: it is, they're gonna they're gonna find something. So it's

245
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: that the guys on the outside, they're talented, will shoot.

246
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: Even the tight ends, running backs, they're talented, and they

247
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: they have a connection with the quarterback.

248
00:10:58,600 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: That's that's that's different.

249
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 2: You can't ask anybody in the defensive backfield anything without

250
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: talking about Travis. So what's special about the kid?

251
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, his energy, his energy, and his willingness to go

252
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 3: play both sides or go play whatever you know it

253
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 3: needs to be played.

254
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: So that that takes us.

255
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: That's a skill to go out there and want to

256
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 3: do that, And that's a skill to understand, you know,

257
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: the different type of movements that you need to learn

258
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 3: and have to be a rod receiver to get open

259
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: as a wide receiver to to lock people down on defense.

260
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: So it's definitely two different movements, but I feel like

261
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: he understands both of them and he has the energy

262
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 3: and the want to and the stamina to go out

263
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: there and do it. So that's that's something that you know,

264
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: a lot of people you know don't attest to well enough.

265
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: I keep hearing about how like an unreal teammate, he

266
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: is already for a young kid coming in with a

267
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: lot of hype. Tell me about that. I mean, as

268
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: a veteran, it would be easy to, yeah, for the

269
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: guy to alienate people. But everything you hear is that

270
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: this guy.

271
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 3: Today, even we was on the field, he's like, yeah,

272
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 3: Jay Lou, this is this you you should bag up here.

273
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: You should bag up here.

274
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 3: When you're checking me this, how this how I you know,

275
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 3: this is kind of harder when you do this and that.

276
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, Okay, that's dope, you know what I'm saying.

277
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: So he he understands how to make the team better

278
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 3: with you know.

279
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: The team first everything.

280
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, so he understands that he just want to play football.

281
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: That he don't you don't mind, he don't care what's

282
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: going on. He just want to go out there and

283
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: play football.

284
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: Man.

285
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 3: And just him being on the field and and like

286
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 3: I said, communicating like oh this is what I would

287
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: thought did here or there?

288
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: That that helps a.

289
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 2: Lot pretty high end stuff. So people who don't know

290
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: remarkable what you have been through. I'm referring to your injury.

291
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty three, right, twenty two. I'm sorry.

292
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: I've seen it described as a list Frank, and then

293
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: I've seen you describe it, but just a list Frank. Yeah,

294
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: if you don't mind. Sort of talked me through that

295
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: and the how coming back from that has shaped you.

296
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

297
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: I knew it was gonna be a long road. I

298
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 3: know it was gonna be a long roll, so honestly,

299
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: it wasn't. They said they classified as a Liz Frank

300
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: because I broke like the top bones on my foot,

301
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: but actually know I crushed my entire foot, like I

302
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: broke all of the bones. I tore all of the

303
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: tendance like I completely crushed it. And and nobody really

304
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: told me how bad it was. They said it was

305
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: it was bad, but yeah, no they didn't. But once

306
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: I was starting to come back and they knew like

307
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 3: I played, they was like, we didn't think you're gonna

308
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 3: play again and anything, we're gonna play again because it

309
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: was They've never seen anything like it.

310
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: So I don't even know how I did that. You know.

311
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 3: Uh, I got Brett Brown, that right man, Dallas, So

312
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: we were with each other every single day, and he

313
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: encouraged me, like I told you. He never told me

314
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: exactly how severe it was until I came back, but

315
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 3: he always encouraged me, and we spend every day with

316
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: each other, you know, getting better and saying he was like,

317
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get you back on the field.

318
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,479
Speaker 1: So you know him at first, they're pretty close.

319
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 3: But he always talks about it and even to this

320
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 3: day he's like, I'm a boy doing so yeah. Yeah, absolutely,

321
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 3: so it was. It was tough though. It was definitely hard.

322
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,479
Speaker 2: And still wear a special.

323
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, customized, customized cleats that that helped me a

324
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: lot cold for war showing people out because they definitely

325
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: saved my career because I can't.

326
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: I really can't really wear like regular cleats right now.

327
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: So how does that shape you that deep into your career?

328
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: The obvious question is more appreciation for the game.

329
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, it was.

330
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 3: It helped that I was a worker before, so understanding

331
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 3: you know what I needed to do with the muscles

332
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: I needed to work and you know, how how to

333
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: get back. It helped that I knew how to lift

334
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: weights and go out there and run, so yeah, you

335
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: were doing yeah, So I had good people around me

336
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: that that supplemented my workouts and you know, treat I

337
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: had treatment and things like that that that really strengthened

338
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: my leg and my foot of my ankle, and then

339
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: I had to learn how to rerun, you know, especially

340
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: with my foot and you know how it was structured now.

341
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: So that was really the hardest part, you know, just learning,

342
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: you know, how to run and think of you know,

343
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: teaching myself how to run again. But you know, going

344
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: into doing the work and lifting waste and things like that,

345
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 3: that was the easy part.

346
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: I knew what to do because I already did it.

347
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: So a lot of times when guys get hurt and

348
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: you don't see them play again, really is because they

349
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 3: never really worked before they got hurt, so they know,

350
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: they don't know really how to come back. So I

351
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 3: knew what I needed to do and the things that

352
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: I did to do it, and now I'm I'm back

353
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 3: and tip tops formed.

354
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: I know you've gone over that a lot, so I

355
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,760

362
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 3: you know I'm not playing well or I'm not playing

Speaker 3: I've always you know, I had good I had a

364
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: good reputation with the media down the area, and I

365
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: had a good reputation with everybody down there because I

366
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 3: never was negative or I never you know, said it was,

367
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 3: you know, play victim.

368
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,080

Speaker 3: even when I wasn't doing really good, they helped me out,

373
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: you know. So it's just being like I said, it's

374
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: it's about being kind to people and that that always

375
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: helps in the long run, especially when when you're not

376
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 3: doing well or you're hurting. So that helped, you know,

377

Speaker 3: because it's a lot of ups and downs in football, man.

382
