Appreciate you joining me. Had no problem, brother, Thanks for
having me anytime, anytime. So another season. Tom's back. Everything
seems good to go. How are you feeling. I'm feeling
good Man, excited that we got him back for one
more year. We've had a pretty good training camp. You know,
guys are starting to get really healthy now and we're
(01:34):
ready to go. Yeah. I know it was a little concerning.
You know, obviously losing Ryan Man early in the training
camp was tough, but you know, I think you guys
are are obviously built to withstandard. How is how is
Quinn Tores doing? My boy good? I did not know
that was his name until he told us in the
locker room. That's that's that's one of one. Gotta be
(01:56):
gotta be like, I don't know nobody else with that
name even close to it ever. Ever, I only called
him Quintards to get upset. But I ain't calling him
that does. I ain't calling you, Julio, your name is Quintards.
But that receiver room is crazy. I mean, it sounds
like Chris's back, sounds like everything is going solid with him.
Russell gages. What's the problem out there in Atlanta? And
(02:17):
I mean, how is it in the receiver room right now?
That's good man. We've been having a lot of fun.
One all time great out bring another all time great in.
I mean it's been smooth. Man. Judio's one of the
all time great players that we've had in this league.
You know, it's been cool watching him work and seeing
how he is as a just a person. He's a
real cool guy. Yeah, he's super cool man. And I'm
(02:39):
sure like obviously you've been in the same division your
whole careers, and you know, seeing him work from the
outside and seeing him as an opponent and then seeing
him as a teammate, how much different is that for you? Man?
I know, you know, going against somebody with this bro,
it's been different, like even with you, Like everybody that
I you know, like the prominent players, guys that I've
looked up to and uh enjoy watching have an opportunity
(03:01):
to be their teammates and see it up close and personal.
I see why, like you were great and why he's
great and y'all just download dudes that just love what
y'all do. And that's cool that you know, I've had
the opportunity to, you know, play with you shady who
the old guys that I've admired and uh get the
calling teammates a b as well, see the most humble
teammate to be as good and as talented and as
(03:24):
monstrous as you are. And I'm I get tired of
I get tired of you. You've led the league in
touchdown since you've been in the league, and then you
never hear about you, you know what I mean, Nobody
ever mentioned and like, oh, these the best receivers in
the league, and nobody's saying Mike eavns and it be
pissing me off. And I'm like, hey, y'all, listen, you
ain't have to deal with you like and it's the
reason you getting the coordinators no right, but but in
(03:48):
players know. But it's still don't make sense, Like how
does that make you feel like you you've been under
the radar somehow, even though you're breaking the record for
a thousand yards seasons? Like, man, tell me what, I
hold myself to the high standard no matter what, So
nobody's opinion matters as much as mine's, you know what
I'm saying, Like I'm gonna take my opinion over somebody
(04:10):
else when it comes to football, especially planning a receiver position.
You know, I've always thought I was the best receiver.
Probably after my thirty year in the league, seventeen is
I thought I was the best receiver in the league
at that point. Guys might have better you know, numbers,
uh certain like different seasons, but you know, consistently with
(04:31):
my situation, I feel like you know, I've been, I've
been up there. I'm in a conversation, no question, no
question at all. I'm sure everybody ain't goddamn NFC South
it would be happy to explain that to everybody else.
I'd be happy to explain that. And I ain't even
gonna tell him about you when you Brandon Marshall me
as a whole story for a different day. You know
it ain't gonna go there. But y'all set up for success. Man.
(04:53):
How's the DBS been? How CD been? You know, with
his new deal, you know he paid now you get
the was deserved bag and he's had a phenomenal camp.
They look hungry. All the DBS look hungry as a
defense as a whole, they look even better than they
were last year. So I'm excited to see what they
can do. Uh, look forward to a great year on
the defensive end. Man, what Dean out there doing? Man?
(05:14):
You know d D Man Dean physical at that line. Man,
he's just really good at the line. He's kind of
like you at the line, A long guy that can
run his balls. Kids an't as good as yours. We're
working on that a little fast, but he's faster. He's
super fast. Man. Dean had a really good camp. She
catched the ball like you're trying to get in the
fight with it. He actually made some really good plays
(05:39):
in this camp, like hot pointing the ball and intercepting it.
He surprised me, Man, I gotta I gotta go see those.
I gotta see those. I gotta hit rocking and tell
him to send me. He's seen him, see you right right?
You know you gottam at the top of the phone.
Probably it was a good place. That's good man. Man,
How my boy Lenny been? You know it was talking
as usual. Now he's been good man. He ain't he
(06:02):
ain't too sixty like they say. He's running good. He's
had a good like. No matter what the weights, we'll
make a big deal out of anything these days? Did
you ever finished the book? Which one at least one said,
I want the fire right now? On audio books, the
books are we have so much details in them, man,
(06:25):
I like them. Put them on in the car, you
know what I'm saying, Like the audio books, like you
told me on the plane. I listened to him, and
that's cool, man, I get in that world, bro, How
important is that for you? Like to be able to
get it? Was a lot of unanswered things, you know.
I just always ask you and you tell me. And
it's it's cool reading it or listening to it, and
you know, missing out on the stuff that I didn't know,
(06:47):
and it's cool getting those answers right right, You got that.
That's a you got the tap. We went into that now.
I've been trying to get tattoos for the longest, especially
something like with Harry Potter. You know what I mean.
You love it, but uh, tattoos sucking hurt, bro, They hurt, man.
But I found this great numbing cream. I used Trisian
worse with my leg. Chad. He said he had a
fast hand and they had some good work. So I
(07:09):
tried him out and he did a great job on
my leg tats, so I'm gona let him finish. What
else you gonna do? I gotta get the Hogwarts castle
behind Harry Ron and herminey and uh it was it
was looking good, but I just couldn't finish it. It It
was it was getting painful right right right right. I
shouted tequila and it's more numbing cream on that. Absolutely.
(07:31):
How's the family doing? Hey good? My two my two daughters,
my ten and five year older in school, my two
year old son, and my three month old daughters at home.
Give him my wife fits now, they've been good. They've
been great. You get any vacations it's off season. Yeah.
Me and my wife went to Puerto Rico and I
(07:52):
forgot it was the US. I forgot because we wanted
She wanted to go somewhere, you know, out the country,
but she couldn't find her passport. So we made a
quick trip to Puerto Rico and that was one of
my favorite trips. Man. Me and her just got to
spend some time together or las, get away from everything.
It's great food out there and it's a perfect mix
of um like foreign in America. You know. That was
(08:15):
that was perfect for us. We we gotta, we gotta,
we gotta help your your wife out. We can't just
happen it. Seve is not being able to travel out
the country. Come on now, she she got her passport,
she got one expeditus, So we're good. Okay, okay, okay,
all right. So what's the expectations for this season for you,
for the team, for the offense. I mean, y'all should
break records. Tom's comfortable. You know, everybody making a hubbub
(08:36):
about he missing eleven games, like he ain't had seven
seven rings, Like I don't two days I said the
same thing, man, Like, we know what he's about. And
life happens to everybody. But you know what it's like
when you have a team of this caliber. The goal
is to win the championship. I mean, win the Super Bowl.
I mean that's our number one goal obviously, But we
(08:58):
got to do that by playing good ball all year.
So all year, we've got to be consistent. Be're the
smartest team because we're definitely one of the top three
most talented teams in the league. I feel, so talent
would not be the problem. Uh, I gotta stay healthy
and just do the little things right. Hey, how the
meeting has been different with with with with Todd instead
of b eight um, they've been They've been similar, but
(09:21):
not as much cuss words, I guess, not as much
Bulcarty and the speech, but it's been similar. You know
that they're boys and they coached Kut in the same way,
so it's been a smooth camp. It's b A still
around and still in everybody here. Yeah, yes, especially at
joint practices. I felt like he was the head coach still,
like how he was talking to the officials and stuff
(09:41):
like that. Stills good to have him around. Still. That's cool, man.
It's the offense. Everything is staying the same every it's
just continuity obviously left still there. That's pretty cool man.
I'm I'm I'm excited to hear that the young guys
are doing well. So I'm doing well. I'm doing the
Amazon thing now. So I get to see y'all. Is
that Thursday? Yes, Thursday, Ravens, Yeah, yeah, Baltimore, Baltimore, Mark Jackson.
(10:05):
He's fun to watch, man, But I hope, I hope
we can bottle him up. But my first time seeing
him was his rookie year and he started he think
he started like the second half of the season. It
was in Baltimore is a rainy game. It was cold
as hell, like thirty degrees raining cold, and he was
just making everybody miss shaking everybody. I guess different sitting
(10:26):
in person, because he's kind of he's holding skinny and
he's like stronger than he looks. He was shaking everybody,
breaking tackles and they beat us that game, and you know,
he put on the show. Oh I know. We we
played him and it was circumstance. It's cold, rainy. We
thought we had the game. You know, we offensively moving.
That boy came around or these quarterback runs. He shook
(10:47):
our nickel and you know every week you see a
highlight from me. You shook our nickel. K We talked
about it all week. That was the frustrating part. He
was like, hey, don't let him bounce outside. Don't let
Hi bounce outside. That boy said boom boom boom what what?
And we fell inside outside. I said, it's easier to
said thing up. It definitely is. I think that's the
hardest thing to do on defense tackle because there's so
(11:10):
many different type of guys. You got guys like him
Cheetah for net Derrick Henry, Like there's so many different
guys and they all got like there their skills shed
and their ability. It's hard to tack them, dude, no question, Lenny, Lenny.
Lenny is frustrating because Lenny want to smile and laugh
and be be like take a shot like it's nothing right,
(11:32):
whack and just get up laughing like dude crazy. So
is there any game y'all got circled this year? Like
I feel like being there for a little bit of time.
I was there the Saints game. Gotta be circled twice
and maybe four or five times for cg like he
might be circling a few more times. And what's his
name is gone? Now two is gone. So don't be different.
(11:56):
But what games you got circled? Man? All the teams
that played over one, you know, I won't want one
on one opportunities, you know, and then throughout the year
I get something. But I want teams that play one highlight.
You know, Seattle used to play cover three and cover one.
Atlanta used to play cover three couple one. So all
the teams that are playing a lot of man coverage,
(12:16):
no safety help, they might not be safety helping with
with CG and Julio and Russell Gage's gonna be They're
gonna see we live. But somehow it's always, you know,
God on my side. Even we got a B Cariers Gronk.
Somehow just that safety tend to creep over there right
right right. I know, man, I'm excited for the season.
(12:40):
Just last year was a great season because we got
the fans back. Last year. Um, every game in Tampa
felt like a playoff game. So I'm just excited for
every feeling. That's the important part. Feeling good, feeling good.
You know, year nine, twenty nine years old. I feel
better now than I did when I was younger because
I know how to take care of my body. I
(13:01):
know what I need to do in practice. You know
how to just do the little maintenance things to stay fresh.
And took some weight off me too, So that was
the biggest part. Took some weight. How much weight my
rookie year, I was too forty plus. So some some
days I win in two forty five, some days like
too forty two. So I was big back then, manive, Ok, Yeah,
(13:27):
I just got a cheek. What game you playing right now?
What games you want? I'm always on Fortnite always one.
I heard they took the building. Now, oh yeah, they
got a game old whereas no bills, And that's fun.
Both of us like both modes. See you you didn't
you didn't say? Okay, Yeah, they got the no bill mode.
I loved at they got the regular bill modes. So
(13:49):
I'm waiting for the new two K to come out.
I'm not a big Madden guy neither. I can. You
can't playing what you do? What are you playing? I'm
playing two K. I've been playing a Pex a little bit. Yeah,
I had played elden Ring. I've seen people playing that time.
All right, it's cool. It's just you know, it's one
of those games you gotta get into and really have
(14:11):
time to digest it. But which kind of deal are
you going with this year? And two guys? I always
do it like a two A somebody that gotta have defense,
Like I can't stand not having defense on the game,
sliding all over the place. I'll probably make like a.
I always usually make a stretch big or like a
point forward type. But we'll see probably those two bills.
What derailed yo heist Hooping's career? Like he's sixth whale?
(14:35):
What derailed it. Yeah mm hmm. It was so tough
for me to choose football. But back then I was
like super physical and I was very passionate and I
hated losing. I still do, but like the referees, I
could not control myself. Like now I can control myself
a little bit better. But like when I was younger
(14:55):
a kid, I said, man, I'm going to college to
play football because the refs don't like had that much
of the input, right what they really do though, like basketball,
like it was he should be dudes that are like
five ten, I'll just do the verticality, just not even
take them serious block day shot and the roof of
call of following me just because so, I mean, I
just hated that part of the basketball um, even though
(15:18):
it's still probably my favorite sport or tied with football definitely.
You see, it seems like you're missing a little bit
right now, Mike. I love watching it. I don't. I mean,
I hope every not again and do some basketball workouts,
but that's about it. Who your team? Yeah, it was
d Wade and then do we retired now Lebron? But
right now stuff to be Lebron. I'm a Laker fan.
(15:38):
So it's very tough not to be a Lebron fan
to be a Lakers fan. Yeah, I don't really care
about the Lakers honest about having success. I want the
team to do well because he's on it. But if
he left the team, I would not care about the things.
Right well, it's gonna be hard for us to have success.
Right now. I'm from Galvez and Texas. Like the closest
(15:58):
thing we got to the Houston Rocket. Like it's a
little bit come on now, your hometown to be be
sitting here screaming at you right now. But I appreciate you, Mike.
I appreciate you coming on. I know y'all got a
busy week. I know you're ready for Dallas. That's gonna
be a game. Last year it was a shootout. It's
gonna be crazy again. I would imagine they ain't got
they ain't got uh the same kind of receiving corps
they have last year, But they still got it. Young
(16:19):
c D. I gotta question for you, shoot, what's harder
to play cornerback or receiver? H I say, I say corner.
I say corner because it's just it could be any
play could just ruin your damn day. Any play at
why you might not have a good day, like stuff
going bad in the fourth quarter. You can loss somebody
(16:42):
and it's it's a hell of a day. Corner, you
could be playing your butt off the whole game like
it's perfect. You give up one crucial crab like that
game you suck like wait, I was that's a great
that's a great point. But what were you better at
receiver or corner? That's Mike. You you're putting me on
(17:04):
the spot. You were probably about to be a Hall
of Fame cornerback. I'd say corner because because I started
as receiver. But but corner, I have more control receiver.
That's why it's so hard, because if your quarterback ain't
getting you the rock, the offensive line ain't blocking the
play calls ain't coming away a lot. That goes into
(17:24):
being a receiver, right, I think it's harder see but
but but white out. If I'm dead tired, i'dn't ran
foe go routes, come out, corner, I come in the
fog route. That's a fact. That's a breathing too. I
can and y'all got the line up, y'all got oh,
I got Mike Evans, Mikey Todd, Here comes Julio, Joe, Okay,
(17:50):
here comes see he comes, Russell Gage, come with what
like that's what somebody go have to deal not me.
I'm gonna get that mean, I'm gonna be out there.
I know how tough that is. Man, It's tough. Man,
corner is tough. Like I said, I think the hardest
(18:12):
thing to do is tackle. But there's so many different guys.
So so imagine dealing with you covering you, then turn
it around tackling Lenny, having seeing three things and then
being like, here come Mike, all right, go round nine ball,
jump ball. That's a lot lot to worry about, it is.
(18:32):
That's a good debate. That's a good debate. It is.
But why don't you you got you got some have
a crazy skill set. You gotta be like the guy, right,
That ship's hard. That's very hard. And double teamed receivers
have the hardest practice at everybody most running. So I
mean it's tough, harder. I got full five options on
(18:55):
one coverage or like like depending on the coverage. Right,
That's the thing is, don't really realize y'all got to
identify coverages with the quarterback, because if you'll people are like,
oh we happened page, It could be a turnover. And
if you call and turnovers, you will not playing. If
you're not playing, you ain't getting paid. Right then, boys
in Green Bay finding that out right now, A rod
getting there like ready to cut to everybody and you
(19:17):
can't catch get off. Today feels like, well, ay, rid
you want to have two receivers on the field and
what we talk about. But I feel you, I feel
you well. I appreciate you, brother. I see y'all. I
think we got y'all late October. Yeah, I think in
October we got you all games. So I probably see
you all on the field that day. I'll probably come
message you before the game. You know, you see what
(19:39):
you're up to. These are gonna be going great. You
probably have a thousand body in hopefully ye see. I
check on you and the family. Were gonna have it, Mike,
We'll see. I appreciate your brother. I ain't gonna take
too much more of your time. You have a good day.
Say hello to the family for me. I think bro
appreciate you all. Love brother. The volume

You know d D Man Dean physical at that line. Man,
he's just really good at the line. He's kind of
like you at the line, A long guy that can
run his balls. Kids an't as good as yours. We're
working on that a little fast, but he's faster. He's
super fast. Man. Dean had a really good camp. She
catched the ball like you're trying to get in the
fight with it. He actually made some really good plays
(05:39):
in this camp, like hot pointing the ball and intercepting it.
He surprised me, Man, I gotta I gotta go see those.
I gotta see those. I gotta hit rocking and tell
him to send me. He's seen him, see you right right?
You know you gottam at the top of the phone.
Probably it was a good place. That's good man. Man,
How my boy Lenny been? You know it was talking
as usual. Now he's been good man. He ain't he
(06:02):
ain't too sixty like they say. He's running good. He's
had a good like. No matter what the weights, we'll
make a big deal out of anything these days? Did
you ever finished the book? Which one at least one said,
I want the fire right now? On audio books, the
books are we have so much details in them, man,
(06:25):
I like them. Put them on in the car, you
know what I'm saying, Like the audio books, like you
told me on the plane. I listened to him, and
that's cool, man, I get in that world, bro, How
important is that for you? Like to be able to
get it? Was a lot of unanswered things, you know.
I just always ask you and you tell me. And
it's it's cool reading it or listening to it, and
you know, missing out on the stuff that I didn't know,
(06:47):
and it's cool getting those answers right right, You got that.
That's a you got the tap. We went into that now.
I've been trying to get tattoos for the longest, especially
something like with Harry Potter. You know what I mean.
You love it, but uh, tattoos sucking hurt, bro, They hurt, man.
But I found this great numbing cream. I used Trisian
worse with my leg. Chad. He said he had a
fast hand and they had some good work. So I
(07:09):
tried him out and he did a great job on
my leg tats, so I'm gona let him finish. What
else you gonna do? I gotta get the Hogwarts castle
behind Harry Ron and herminey and uh it was it
was looking good, but I just couldn't finish it. It It
was it was getting painful right right right right. I
shouted tequila and it's more numbing cream on that. Absolutely.
(07:31):
How's the family doing? Hey good? My two my two daughters,
my ten and five year older in school, my two
year old son, and my three month old daughters at home.
Give him my wife fits now, they've been good. They've
been great. You get any vacations it's off season. Yeah.
Me and my wife went to Puerto Rico and I
(07:52):
forgot it was the US. I forgot because we wanted
She wanted to go somewhere, you know, out the country,
but she couldn't find her passport. So we made a
quick trip to Puerto Rico and that was one of
my favorite trips. Man. Me and her just got to
spend some time together or las, get away from everything.
It's great food out there and it's a perfect mix
of um like foreign in America. You know. That was
(08:15):
that was perfect for us. We we gotta, we gotta,
we gotta help your your wife out. We can't just
happen it. Seve is not being able to travel out
the country. Come on now, she she got her passport,
she got one expeditus, So we're good. Okay, okay, okay,
all right. So what's the expectations for this season for you,
for the team, for the offense. I mean, y'all should
break records. Tom's comfortable. You know, everybody making a hubbub
(08:36):
about he missing eleven games, like he ain't had seven
seven rings, Like I don't two days I said the
same thing, man, Like, we know what he's about. And
life happens to everybody. But you know what it's like
when you have a team of this caliber. The goal
is to win the championship. I mean, win the Super Bowl.
I mean that's our number one goal obviously, But we
(08:58):
got to do that by playing good ball all year.
So all year, we've got to be consistent. Be're the
smartest team because we're definitely one of the top three
most talented teams in the league. I feel, so talent
would not be the problem. Uh, I gotta stay healthy
and just do the little things right. Hey, how the
meeting has been different with with with with Todd instead
of b eight um, they've been They've been similar, but
(09:21):
not as much cuss words, I guess, not as much
Bulcarty and the speech, but it's been similar. You know
that they're boys and they coached Kut in the same way,
so it's been a smooth camp. It's b A still
around and still in everybody here. Yeah, yes, especially at
joint practices. I felt like he was the head coach still,
like how he was talking to the officials and stuff
(09:41):
like that. Stills good to have him around. Still. That's cool, man.
It's the offense. Everything is staying the same every it's
just continuity obviously left still there. That's pretty cool man.
I'm I'm I'm excited to hear that the young guys
are doing well. So I'm doing well. I'm doing the
Amazon thing now. So I get to see y'all. Is
that Thursday? Yes, Thursday, Ravens, Yeah, yeah, Baltimore, Baltimore, Mark Jackson.
(10:05):
He's fun to watch, man, But I hope, I hope
we can bottle him up. But my first time seeing
him was his rookie year and he started he think
he started like the second half of the season. It
was in Baltimore is a rainy game. It was cold
as hell, like thirty degrees raining cold, and he was
just making everybody miss shaking everybody. I guess different sitting
(10:26):
in person, because he's kind of he's holding skinny and
he's like stronger than he looks. He was shaking everybody,
breaking tackles and they beat us that game, and you know,
he put on the show. Oh I know. We we
played him and it was circumstance. It's cold, rainy. We
thought we had the game. You know, we offensively moving.
That boy came around or these quarterback runs. He shook
(10:47):
our nickel and you know every week you see a
highlight from me. You shook our nickel. K We talked
about it all week. That was the frustrating part. He
was like, hey, don't let him bounce outside. Don't let
Hi bounce outside. That boy said boom boom boom what what?
And we fell inside outside. I said, it's easier to
said thing up. It definitely is. I think that's the
hardest thing to do on defense tackle because there's so
(11:10):
many different type of guys. You got guys like him
Cheetah for net Derrick Henry, Like there's so many different
guys and they all got like there their skills shed
and their ability. It's hard to tack them, dude, no question, Lenny, Lenny.
Lenny is frustrating because Lenny want to smile and laugh
and be be like take a shot like it's nothing right,
(11:32):
whack and just get up laughing like dude crazy. So
is there any game y'all got circled this year? Like
I feel like being there for a little bit of time.
I was there the Saints game. Gotta be circled twice
and maybe four or five times for cg like he
might be circling a few more times. And what's his
name is gone? Now two is gone. So don't be different.
(11:56):
But what games you got circled? Man? All the teams
that played over one, you know, I won't want one
on one opportunities, you know, and then throughout the year
I get something. But I want teams that play one highlight.
You know, Seattle used to play cover three and cover one.
Atlanta used to play cover three couple one. So all
the teams that are playing a lot of man coverage,
(12:16):
no safety help, they might not be safety helping with
with CG and Julio and Russell Gage's gonna be They're
gonna see we live. But somehow it's always, you know,
God on my side. Even we got a B Cariers Gronk.
Somehow just that safety tend to creep over there right
right right. I know, man, I'm excited for the season.
(12:40):
Just last year was a great season because we got
the fans back. Last year. Um, every game in Tampa
felt like a playoff game. So I'm just excited for
every feeling. That's the important part. Feeling good, feeling good.
You know, year nine, twenty nine years old. I feel
better now than I did when I was younger because
I know how to take care of my body. I
(13:01):
know what I need to do in practice. You know
how to just do the little maintenance things to stay fresh.
And took some weight off me too, So that was
the biggest part. Took some weight. How much weight my
rookie year, I was too forty plus. So some some
days I win in two forty five, some days like
too forty two. So I was big back then, manive, Ok, Yeah,
(13:27):
I just got a cheek. What game you playing right now?
What games you want? I'm always on Fortnite always one.
I heard they took the building. Now, oh yeah, they
got a game old whereas no bills, And that's fun.
Both of us like both modes. See you you didn't
you didn't say? Okay, Yeah, they got the no bill mode.
I loved at they got the regular bill modes. So
(13:49):
I'm waiting for the new two K to come out.
I'm not a big Madden guy neither. I can. You
can't playing what you do? What are you playing? I'm
playing two K. I've been playing a Pex a little bit. Yeah,
I had played elden Ring. I've seen people playing that time.
All right, it's cool. It's just you know, it's one
of those games you gotta get into and really have
(14:11):
time to digest it. But which kind of deal are
you going with this year? And two guys? I always
do it like a two A somebody that gotta have defense,
Like I can't stand not having defense on the game,
sliding all over the place. I'll probably make like a.
I always usually make a stretch big or like a
point forward type. But we'll see probably those two bills.
What derailed yo heist Hooping's career? Like he's sixth whale?
(14:35):
What derailed it. Yeah mm hmm. It was so tough
for me to choose football. But back then I was
like super physical and I was very passionate and I
hated losing. I still do, but like the referees, I
could not control myself. Like now I can control myself
a little bit better. But like when I was younger
(14:55):
a kid, I said, man, I'm going to college to
play football because the refs don't like had that much
of the input, right what they really do though, like basketball,
like it was he should be dudes that are like
five ten, I'll just do the verticality, just not even
take them serious block day shot and the roof of
call of following me just because so, I mean, I
just hated that part of the basketball um, even though
(15:18):
it's still probably my favorite sport or tied with football definitely.
You see, it seems like you're missing a little bit
right now, Mike. I love watching it. I don't. I mean,
I hope every not again and do some basketball workouts,
but that's about it. Who your team? Yeah, it was
d Wade and then do we retired now Lebron? But
right now stuff to be Lebron. I'm a Laker fan.
(15:38):
So it's very tough not to be a Lebron fan
to be a Lakers fan. Yeah, I don't really care
about the Lakers honest about having success. I want the
team to do well because he's on it. But if
he left the team, I would not care about the things.
Right well, it's gonna be hard for us to have success.
Right now. I'm from Galvez and Texas. Like the closest
(15:58):
thing we got to the Houston Rocket. Like it's a
little bit come on now, your hometown to be be
sitting here screaming at you right now. But I appreciate you, Mike.
I appreciate you coming on. I know y'all got a
busy week. I know you're ready for Dallas. That's gonna
be a game. Last year it was a shootout. It's
gonna be crazy again. I would imagine they ain't got
they ain't got uh the same kind of receiving corps
they have last year, But they still got it. Young
(16:19):
c D. I gotta question for you, shoot, what's harder
to play cornerback or receiver? H I say, I say corner.
I say corner because it's just it could be any
play could just ruin your damn day. Any play at
why you might not have a good day, like stuff
going bad in the fourth quarter. You can loss somebody
(16:42):
and it's it's a hell of a day. Corner, you
could be playing your butt off the whole game like
it's perfect. You give up one crucial crab like that
game you suck like wait, I was that's a great
that's a great point. But what were you better at
receiver or corner? That's Mike. You you're putting me on
(17:04):
the spot. You were probably about to be a Hall
of Fame cornerback. I'd say corner because because I started
as receiver. But but corner, I have more control receiver.
That's why it's so hard, because if your quarterback ain't
getting you the rock, the offensive line ain't blocking the
play calls ain't coming away a lot. That goes into
(17:24):
being a receiver, right, I think it's harder see but
but but white out. If I'm dead tired, i'dn't ran
foe go routes, come out, corner, I come in the
fog route. That's a fact. That's a breathing too. I
can and y'all got the line up, y'all got oh,
I got Mike Evans, Mikey Todd, Here comes Julio, Joe, Okay,
(17:50):
here comes see he comes, Russell Gage, come with what
like that's what somebody go have to deal not me.
I'm gonna get that mean, I'm gonna be out there.
I know how tough that is. Man, It's tough. Man,
corner is tough. Like I said, I think the hardest
(18:12):
thing to do is tackle. But there's so many different guys.
So so imagine dealing with you covering you, then turn
it around tackling Lenny, having seeing three things and then
being like, here come Mike, all right, go round nine ball,
jump ball. That's a lot lot to worry about, it is.
(18:32):
That's a good debate. That's a good debate. It is.
But why don't you you got you got some have
a crazy skill set. You gotta be like the guy, right,
That ship's hard. That's very hard. And double teamed receivers
have the hardest practice at everybody most running. So I
mean it's tough, harder. I got full five options on
(18:55):
one coverage or like like depending on the coverage. Right,
That's the thing is, don't really realize y'all got to
identify coverages with the quarterback, because if you'll people are like,
oh we happened page, It could be a turnover. And
if you call and turnovers, you will not playing. If
you're not playing, you ain't getting paid. Right then, boys
in Green Bay finding that out right now, A rod
getting there like ready to cut to everybody and you
(19:17):
can't catch get off. Today feels like, well, ay, rid
you want to have two receivers on the field and
what we talk about. But I feel you, I feel
you well. I appreciate you, brother. I see y'all. I
think we got y'all late October. Yeah, I think in
October we got you all games. So I probably see
you all on the field that day. I'll probably come
message you before the game. You know, you see what
(19:39):
you're up to. These are gonna be going great. You
probably have a thousand body in hopefully ye see. I
check on you and the family. Were gonna have it, Mike,
We'll see. I appreciate your brother. I ain't gonna take
too much more of your time. You have a good day.
Say hello to the family for me. I think bro
appreciate you all. Love brother. The volume
