I'm good. I'm just chilling, just getting this offseason work,

(07:23):
get ready for camp. You know how that? Yeah? Man,
same old, same old man. Let's get to it. Man,
talk about this house though, growing up, growing up this
football house man, You and bro to to two guys
hit the league at one house. Man, tell me about
that house growing up and growing up, I know he
went to the league. It was like a dream come true.
I mean I was all around the players, around Pep,

(07:45):
around Steve Autom boys. So growing up looking up to him,
I just figured, like, if he could do it, ship,
I could do it. How many years older is he
didn't thirteen years older than you? How he how y'all
getting on that? Like what y'all used to be on y'all?
Or how did that go? Now? We actually got two
different dads. Um, My dad was more of a basketball player.

(08:07):
His dad's more football player. But looking up to him,
my dad, I used to play ball, but I wasn't
really that that really want my first love. So looking
up to him, football became my first love. And then
from their own it just took off. But we didn't
really get close until until I got older. I'd say,
probably like my freshman year in high school. And we
got closed as we started training. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's

(08:28):
what's up man. Yeah, y'all blood see that's how you know.
It's jeans and genetics, man, and even vibe like that
is then you bro, somebody just gotta bring it out
to you, baby, somebody just gotta bring it out. So
you four start recruiting Florida. What made you pick Florida State?
Just home grown? Yeah? I really didn't want to leave
home too, ain't I at least didn't want to go

(08:50):
too far. So it was between Florida State, Florida and Georgia.
But Florida State just felt like home. All my boys
is there too, Yeah, just felt like bron Oh yeah,
yeah yeah, all all the homies. There's gotta be live.
When see I couldn't do no ship like that. I'm like, man, yeah,
he got two schools want him. I got this, two
schools want me. Hars was crazy, we all split up, man,

(09:13):
But it gotta be live. If you could do that though,
the homies go there, I'm saying that you could slide there.
Who some of the guys was at Florida State. Who
helped you though? Who helped you? I'm saying, turning to
the NFL dog you right now? Uh My first coach's
name was Brad Long. Up me a lot, talking me
a lot of techniques and everything like that. And then uh,
I had a big dog. He was ordering me Josh
sweat with the Eagles. Now, yeah, he used to help

(09:35):
me along the way. And then you know, I just
got my home, my home, my own boys. Just road
dogs is round. That's about it. Yeah, that's that's what's up. Man,
that's Florida and Florida State days are crazy though. Yeah,
yeah down the street. Yeah, I already know. I already
know that's tally right. Yeah, yeah, family, you right there,

(09:59):
you know what I'm saying on YouTube TCC. Yeah, look,
I got drafted the Tampa So you know, we were young,
were fresh out of college, and we have to be
in o t s. We ain't got nothing going on
the weekend. We're going to tally Bro. I'm tellings five
fifty were on the way. We're going to tally Bro. Telly,
they know about it live out there, man for real.

(10:23):
Uh So you get drafted to the same to the
same team. What's the chances you get drafted to the
same team that Broke played for? Man, what y'all said
about that? That was why he he took it a lot,
a lot. He was more emotional than I was, because
I mean that's kind of his deal that he went.
But it was just crazy that at the tables turned
that way. Like thirteen years later, I'm going to the

(10:45):
same organization. So but I just had to walk him
through that because he he emotionally. Yeah, I know, I know.
I think three three it three and a half years
something like that. Yeah, and then it went to Houston.
Oh yeah, that's what's up. That's what's up. So your

(11:06):
rookie year man, you had something happened that you probably
ain't had happened in college. So y'all go through a
coach and change mid season. And I'm saying what that
was like. It was different. Uh, locker room up and down.
It was just a lot of a lot of a
lot of stuff going on at the time. And I
had dealing with the injury, broke my risks something. It
was just a lot going on at that time. But

(11:29):
I tried, I tried not to pay attended so much
to the social media aspect and just tried to reach
my personal goals by that time because we was we
was down bad. My rookie was down bad. Yeah. And
and then I mean that it kind of put it
in perspective for you, kind of like like ship, this
is the league, bro, I'm going through an injury and
you almost got to go through it on your own.
You know, when you get injured, you go do your rehab.

(11:51):
You don't go to meetings really like it's it's it's different.
I'm saying that you're changing coaches is like, you know,
when they come in, it's like they don't even really noise. It.
Put it in perspective like the NFL. Huh, it's different. Yeah.
My first NFL wake up was, damn, well, I think
we was leaving. I think it was leaving. It might
have beens or something like that. And I was, actually, boy,
you know, I'm a rookie. I don't know, but I

(12:12):
think we've finished vibe After the practice, I asked the said,
so what I was getting on? You're trying to fly
to the crib go I eat something that I got
to pick up my kids from from school. I said,
you're gonna have a handful. You can go vibe with
the missed at the house. They just getting started when

(12:33):
you get off work, for real, I say, I said, damn,
I really know miss something to be no. What was
what was the different biggest difference between Ron Ron and
Matt rule though that coaches chain oh, honest, I feel
like Ron was more deepest, deepest of Lee minded. Yeah,

(12:54):
I feel like he was more hands on with the deepest.
I feel Rule kind of he kind of I feel
like he leaves more on the officer side. But Rogers
gave me a different perspective of the game because you
know he played it. Yeah, and he just used to
give me pointers and it was just more hands on
with him in the aspect. I feel like Rule is
more strategic and scheme wise. I don't feel like he
really feel me like he didn't really put the paths on.

(13:16):
So I don't feel like, you know what I'm talking about.
But Ron, right, Ron, he felt that energy. That's the
same he was in that paint, you know what I'm
saying with some soldiers. With some soldiers too. So when
he talked when he talked you definitely the people defensive players,
definitely gonna listen when when he talked, uh, speaking of
defensive players, though, man, you gotta how sign Reddick pulling

(13:39):
up man to get on the other side of you. Now.
So we did a little ranking, what I'm saying on
on the other show, I did a little rankings, and
then one of the questions like, I'm saying, who the
Who's gonna be the one who like pop up out
the blue? I say, Brian Burns, right, because I'm already
fun with the game. How you play the game, I'm saying,
the motor all that, But now when how sign ready

(13:59):
come on? That's out. I'm telling you you're gonna see
the difference now when you get your partner and cry.
Now you're gonna really be able to go. Now. How
you how you feel about him pulling up dog? Yeah?
I like it. I like I like to pick up
and I feel like he's gonna push me because I can't.
I can't go outside that he goes. He go get
him too, Saxons, I gotta gotta get got exactly. So
he's gonna push me. That that competitive nature gonna come

(14:21):
out between both of us, and then they gotta pick
their poison. They can't. They can't chip both of us,
They can't chip everybody. Yeah, that's you. Really, you're already
gonna eat. He's smart too, man, So make sure you
listen to him. He gonna tell you some little give
you some little game. He's smart too. He knows he
knows what he's doing. Got some little cheat colds and
ship like that. You know what I'm saying. What's up
with the new faces out there? Though you haven't been there?

(14:43):
You you the bed over there? Not what I'm saying.
J C. J C. Pull up, Uh, Darnald Donald, Sam
Darnald pull up, man with the new faces looking like
over there? Uh. I like j C. J C. A dog,
But the main thing I about him hum him. Him
will walk around like with with with this this chest

(15:05):
hill hog like he the man, you know what I'm saying.
Like he go to go to the older guys like
d Jack, he go to Justin Burrs, all them boys,
and he tried to learn even from me and I
don't play his position, but just from a how to
carry yourself, how to be a professional kind of kind
of aspect. And uh Sam Sam cool dude, nice dude
when we talk too much though, so I didn't really
have much to uh to say say by him, but

(15:27):
I know he's down on earth. Yeah, that's why that's
what's up. Jason gonna be a dog though, man, I've
seen coming out. I can see what I'm saying. He
he's gonna be one of the ones. You know, he
probably cared stuff like that because he's been around and
ship around this ship, so he know, he know about
rookie Hayes and you know about all that. He's just
respecting game. Man. That's that's why. That's why I funk
with him, because he you could tell, like the game,

(15:48):
he respect the game, expect the grind, all that. And
so you you're going on your three, who's some of
the big dogs who you went against? And he was like, yeah, man,
I gotta I always gotta be on my a game
when I'm play against this dude right here. Uh tackle wise, yeah,
that's what you go against, right quarterback, you're playing a

(16:10):
little mind. Yeah, yeah, you're right here, right here, right
because I do the same thing. I played against quarterbacks.
I'm really boring you, but I'm really playing against you
know what I'm saying. I know what you're saying. But yeah,
a tackle wise, some of the big dogs, he definitely
up there. That was that's that's a big dog. I mean,
my rookie year boy, he ain't had no answer for

(16:32):
but this huh yeah, what is it about him? Though?
He could move? Huh yeah, it's it's low key. His stands,
like his stands is different from a lot of other
tackles like he gotta he stick his back leg out
far as hill, which makes his his playing even larger,
makes you want wide out. But you start to kick,
he changes up. So now either missed up your angle

(16:53):
off of his stands. You know what I'm saying. So
he playing mind games with you. But he was tough.
But my rookie, you had no question, no answer for him.
Oh Dwayne Brown, Uh the brain Brown was a dog.

bull Tristan, Tristan worsh He was nice too. He was nice. Yeah,
