  Speaker 1: You, right right. Don't don't speed past the facility. But
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: it will talk to me about this substation thing because
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: they make it such a big deal about this, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I'm like, bro, nobody, how has this been around this long?
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And nobody ever said anything, And that was the biggest.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So I'm running off with a story. You you've been
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: on that grass, you know when it turned brown.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: It turned brown at the end of the year.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: But the soccer field over there, the little girls soccer field,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's stay green all year. Low key. I just start
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: driving past noticing. So I don't know, Jay, but it
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be brown. I'm like, how the grass brown? It's not
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to rainy in San France, it ain't too hot. It
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: should really be green. Right, you've got a gardener. But
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you so, I'm a conspiracy theorist. Bra But
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: it's just crazy, man. It's too many injuries. So what's crazy?
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Said?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: They gonna look into it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: What's crazy is the team has been trying to acquire
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that field for the longest and then acting like they
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: can't give the team that field because of the soccer
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And that's a story different. Oh, they've been trying to
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: get it. It was a huge fight. They've been trying to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: acquire that land, and maybe things would be different if
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: they were over there. But uh, you know, so the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: city of Santa Claire, you know easily this we got
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that chee.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Look, you can build a whole nother soccer field. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: promise you. I promise you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: We can build another soccer field for him. That's not
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: right next to an inn. But tell me about this matchup.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: You obviously played against the Seattle Seahawks and you played
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots. What Mike Brable has done
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for this team has been incredible. What Mike McDonald has
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: done for this team has been incredible. How do you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: see this matchup going?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a defensive game.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Shout out to my guys in New England. Man, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: know them is all my guys went to war with
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: those guys, so I'm happy that they getting to experience it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Just telling them the Soga Dotland man enjoy it. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: then I got my guy Cooper Cup over there. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of room for both sides. But them both defenses, man,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: are phenomenal. Man like me experiencing going against New England
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: and practice and stuff. They know what they're doing. Braids
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: got the mindset, the mentality right. McDonald got them right
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: from me playing against them. Them boys were jumping routes
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: bro Dreeland and Wis Moon. I'm like, hey, I'm taking
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: six steps. How do you know you count my steps?
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I'm like nah, bro, nah bro.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And so they just on that that they ain't sync
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: right now with the d line. They're confident, and you
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: know some dv is gonna just sit there like all right,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: let them break and then go nah treaking them. They
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Antsy and so in New England got those playermakers too,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Marcus Jones, Gonzo. So it's gonna be a defensive matchup
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and both offense is gonna to be locked in. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think whoever makes the most players on defense comes
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: out top.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: It's it's been crazy to watch the run that New
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: England's on and the defenses they've had to play against.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I mean they've played against Houston, who and now Fraake Maiden.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Got to take a beating.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you it done.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: They got it done.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: And then they played against Denver, took a beating, but
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: they got it done.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: And it's just one of those years you know, you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: never know, the ball tipping away, more injuries and they
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: having a good year. Everything is kind of falling their way.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Not to take credit from them, but a lot of
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: people doubting them were.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Like their schedule.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But then when you say they get to the playoffs,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Houston ain't no pump. We struggled against him in the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: San fran They kept us off the field. So just
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: them holding it down against Denver too, like you said,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it shows that they're in the right position. But Josh
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: McDaniel's Drake Vrabel the coach of their building. They kind
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of bringing it back in your Patriots kind of back
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: people mad.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they super mad.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But it's it's the things that that people don't appreciate
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: about Rabel and the Patriots that they've done well for
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: so many years. They rarely make mistakes in terms of
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in game decision making, like when it's time to take
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the points, that the points is taken, when it's a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: third down and they should go for a fourth down,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: they should go for what it's going for. You really
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: go into those games and you're like second guessing what
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: they did. Later on, you're like, they probably they probably
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: played it exactly how it should have played.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Nothing unorthodox, right, you know, bro and so and what
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: they and they take the risk at the right time.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: What you're saying, like the fourth and two, fourth and one,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They're like, it makes sense. So I love Josh Man,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: you know, I was with Josh so just seeing him
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: get back to who he is and in the same
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: place he was his I think it's his third tenor
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: and so man, I people asking me today like do
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you wish you was in it? Heck, yeah, I wish,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: of course, I mean lying if I was, But that's
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: just situations happened. God put me on a different path.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: But I'm happy for those guys, man, And it it's
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: just dope to see from a distance. And I know
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that I'll play in the Super Bowl. We've experienced together, man,
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: which is dope. And so just the experience in itself,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it's special for those guys.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it was fantastic and and and even then
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for Josh, I mean, he's still getting paid from the Raiders,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: so he ain't doing that at all. The Raiders fan Hiven,
• 6:19

  Speaker 3: Appreciate you man, Appreciate you having me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: How you feeling about this Super Bowl? This looks like
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a great matchup. The Patriots have gone through some of
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league to get here, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: obviously the Seahawks have one of the best defenses in
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: the league. What do you think the issues are going
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to be for both teams going in?
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think, like you said, it's gonna be a
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: great match up. You know, I got a lot of
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: respect for coach Vrabel and his team and what he's
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: been able to do in in his first year being
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: in New England. But for me personally, if I had
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: a pick, I think I got Seattle. I'm not just
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: saying that, you know, as you on your show right now,
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: but no, I think I got Seattle taking it. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: know they got that Buckeye Jackson Jackson, and man, them
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: boys been bawling and doing their things, so I'll see
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: them taking it by y'all.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Y'all, Buckeyes.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Put the receivers in the league, now, don't y'all?
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: We do, Yeah, y'all have to put.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Some receivers in the league, y'all, and put some great
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: corners in the league. Talk about being a corner in
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this league. You've been one of the top corners. We
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: talked about that for a long time. And do you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: ever find yourself watching the other corners extingly?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Certain Gonzales.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: You know, these guys because obviously when I was playing,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: it was revis it was Pat p, it was myself,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Slay was, it was in the league playing well Gilly.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But you don't, you know, it's a friendly rivalry. It's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it's hey, I watch, I see what you're doing, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: I go try to strap and put up some numbers
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: No, it's definitely like that, like I'm friends with all
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: those guys. But during the season, like you said, it's
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: a competition. Like I'm looking like, okay, what they do
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: this week? You know, they got Jamar Chaz, they got whatever.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: See what they was they stat line against them, how
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: many pbu's interceptions and what type of game did they have.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: I'm like, I got Okay, I got to go out
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: and do my thing this next weekend and top that,
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: you know, just trying to say a step ahead and
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: just competing like from a distance.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: You know. So I'm definitely keeping eyes.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: On everybody and checking out their game, what they good at,
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: and try to apply to my game a little bit.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: But yeah, this is a friendly competition.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's exactly how I felt. That's exactly bro.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: It was to the point where before game sometimes I
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: had a stat shee like he got two today.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm going out there hunting exactly.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: But it's a friendly competition, you know.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: We would trade notes sometimes, but also as a corner
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: trying to evolve your game. You learn so much about yourself.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: You watch your tape. You know the things you do well,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know things you don't do well. That's that's being
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: an honest player. The only way you can elevate is
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: being able to see what you do well, improve your game,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: work on your weaknesses. But sometimes you see something in
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: somebody else's game. I saw something in a key to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Leave's game. His off coverage he played with like a
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: real short step and he would just quick shuffle. His
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: off was just a quick shuffle. He getting pedal. He
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: just quick quick shuffle and then if it was quick game,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: he's transitioning out and if it was if it was long,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: he would have usually flipped his hips and get itself
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: into a transition. I was like, I think I could
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: play it like that, and it helped my off so much.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Because everybody running these condensed formations, do you ever find
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: yourself and even practice squad dude, sometimes if they had
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: something in they bag that I wanted.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: Like exactly.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: I need that.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that's the biggest thing.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: Like it don't just have to be from the top
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: guys that you're getting things that add to your game
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: from like even in practice, like seeing how gods run
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: routes or seeing what DB's doing practice and stuff like that,
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: you could take something from their game. So it's really
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: just staying open minded to everybody into the game, you know.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I agree.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: That's the way you keep evolving and staying at the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: top of your game. Talk about Top Monkey, you guys
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: just hard top Monkey. He was a coordinator for for
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: you know, your rivals for a while. Obviously, Jim Schwartz
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: is still under contract. But talk about the good things
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that you've heard about him, and have you had a
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: chance to go meet him.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: I haven't got a chance to meet him yet. He
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: did text me yesterday. I wanted to reach out to him.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: I had the Pro Bowl game though, so I got
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: to get back to him still. But I heard a
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: lot of great things about him, like picked up the
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Baltimore's offense. I heard great things of raising Lamar Jackson's
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: game and Derrick Henry and just having a dynamic offense.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: So I'm hoping he could bring that to Cleveland. You know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: we need need an amazing offense, and you know, I'm
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: hoping they saying he'd have got to do it, so
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: we go find out.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Obviously, you're hoping to bring Jim Schwartz back. He's been
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: such a fantastic coordinator. You guys have been a top five,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: top three defense for majority of your career. Talk about
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: his scheme and what he's meant to you.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Man, I can't say enough great things about coach Schwartz.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: I feel he's elevating my game. Like I talked about
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: with Monkin and to Lamar, I feel like that schwarts
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: to me and a lot of guys on the defense
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: and on the team. Schwartz, like I said, elevating my game.
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Just his scheme is great. I feel he always calling
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: a perfect call, putting us in the right position to
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: make a place. So I'm hoping we could keep him
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: on the team. And you know he don't go nowhere else.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: You got a great young middle linebacker. How have you
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: seen him evolved throughout this season?
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I think Swetzinger he came in as a veteran, like
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: a veteran as a rookie, so it's been exciting to
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: see him grow. Just a great player, should win defensive player,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: rookie Defensive Player of the Year, I believe, along with
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Miles winning, Garrett win a defensive Player of the Year.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: But just a great player. Man.
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: We gonna need him, a good young core talent that
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: we got. Were gonna need him for the long run.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It ain't many times you get a defensive Player of
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: the Year candidate and a rookie defensive I mean defensive
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: rookie of the year Canaday on the same defense and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: y'all not winning at least, you know, but on that roll.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: But y'all you lost your running mate too.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: And people don't understand the relationship that corners have, especially
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the corner that place opposite of a great corner like yourself.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: They get a lot of attention, You get a lot
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: more attention than normal. You lose Newsome, but you get
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell. How was that for you during the season?
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Honestly, it was it was tough at first, Like Greg
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: news like, that's my brother, Like you know, we got
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: real close over the time that he came into the league,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: and uh like he getting married just all sine and
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: go go to his wedding and everything, and they trade
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: on So it hurt me, but you know, that's the
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: NFL and that's what happened. But Tyson, he had great
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: fit for the team, came in, locked in, played man
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: and man and and.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: He's just a great dude to be around.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: So I think it was still it was a good trade,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: you know that. You know, Greg doing well for Jacksonville
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: and Tyson doing well, and me and Tyson were coming
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: closer and closer. But I think he a great fit
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: for the team.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Though, I agree. I agree with that.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So what's Cleveland sometimes gets a bad rap, and I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: want to give you a chance today to tell people
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: something they don't know about Cleveland, some positive So you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta give Eveland some love. We're gonna give Cleveland.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: A love, right you know, Hey, Lebron from Cleveland. So
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: that's all. That's all you gotta say.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Lebron from Cleveland, So that's all you need to know.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: But uh, the Browns man, we about to be about to.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Bring it, pick it back up, pick it back up.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: This heason to.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Hopefully make the playoffs, and uh yeah, we're trying to
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: win some games and bring some winning back to the city.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: God, I believe that. I believe that Shador Sanders my
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: name to the Pro Bowl this year. That was that
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: was a little different, they said, they said, y'all had
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: two quarter Pro Bowl quarterbacks in flak on Shador so uh,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: but talk about him and with the growth that you've
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: seen from him. Obviously as a corner, you see if
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: up close and personal, we understand these quarterbacks. We understand
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: what they're seeing and the way they they kind of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: try to diagnose and dissect these defenses.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Did you see the growth that you expected from him
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: this season?
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been well. I mean, like I said, he
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: is just a rookie. He got all the confidence in
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: the world. I think you need a quarterback position, and
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I think he's going to continue to develop and grow
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: to a great player.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: And he did well. He did well.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: He made some mistakes, but I mean that's expected for
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: a rookie.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: But just his.
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: Growth and his willingness to want to learn and get better,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: I think it is gonna go a long way for him.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Did you ever find yourself having conversations with him? You know,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: I think they're they're usually corners. Quarterbacks and corners sometimes
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: quarterback and receivers, receivers in corners have those conversations what
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: did you see here? Especially great players like yourself, You
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: did you find yourself going up to him and like, hey,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I saw you do this, I saw you giving away
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: this tale or you trying to let him learn now
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: the whole.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm really letting him learn the hard way.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: I definitely stay in his ear, though, but the mostly
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: conversations just trash talk, like you know, I'm about to
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: pick you off all day and practice today, and you.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Know it's mostly just a trash talk.
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: But I definitely try to stay in his ear, and
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm always here for whenever he needs some
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: advice him about something or if I got a question,
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: you know, I go ask him and see what he saw.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: You've been in the league long enough to ask you
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: this question. How much different is the league than you
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be when you were a kid
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: growing up and watching it versus you playing in it
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: and getting to be an elite player in it.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question. I think when I growing
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: up watching it, I thought like, oh, man, like the
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: NFL is just like, I don't know, like a juggernaut,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: like guys is just unbeatable, and you know, you just
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: the guys are the top of the top. But once
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: I actually got to the NFL, and like, I'm like, okay,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: I could play with these guys, Like guys are beatable.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: You know, it's gonna be good players. Like you said,
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be great players, but guys could be being
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: on any given day.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: It still is juggernaut. You just happen to be.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: You sit there and you look at it, like, oh man,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: these guys can be played with. But it's because you're
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: one of the top athletes in the world. But that
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: was the thing when I came in, it was so
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: much different than I expected. It was. Once you get
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: here and you have the confidence to understand you belong
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: here and you can be dominant, you can play at
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: a high level.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Then it changed the game for that.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You know how I approach it is, I'm approaching human beings,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: I'm approaching schemes. I'm studying the scheme, seeing, hey, this
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: offense coordinated likes to do it. Diss in this situation.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I have yet to see a receiver that calls his
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: own play. So from that perspective, I'm like, hey, you
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: might run fox two four three, you may jump out
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: of the gym and all that, but if he say
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you running.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: A curl, you better run the curl. You know that's
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: where the ball go be.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: That's what a ball gonna be.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: We in San Francisco a couple of times we would
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: play and we be in practice and a receiver would
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: just just run the wrong route because I've run the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: route for him, Nigue, I'm already running there. If it's cral,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I'm already breaking. And they make up routes and Kyle
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: used to go off. That's the most fun I have
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: watching him, Like, you can't just make stuff up because
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I don't play exactly.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: You can't change the rout up.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: No, you can't. And once I knew that, it changed
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the way I played this game, and I think that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: what helped me play at a different level. What do
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you think gives you the advantage that you have to
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: play at the level you have for so long.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: I think one consistency, just staying consistent and my workouts,
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: my routine, Like I found a great routine coming into
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: the NFL, and just really just being able to stick.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: I know what works for me.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: But it don't work for me, and just sticking to that,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: you know, not getting complacent and any anything that goes on,
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: and just continue to stick to it. And yeah, I
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: would say that's the biggest thing for me.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: What what what have you changed about your off season
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: routine as you've gotten older and I don't mean older
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: like that, but just as you've matured in this leng
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: and really have an understanding of what you need and
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: what you don't need. Is it spending more time with family,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is it working out more, is it the training facility,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: is it the diet?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: What is it? Yeah, that's a good question.
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I think like initially, what I learned like going into
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: like soon as the seasons over with, is really taking
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: that break, like you know, I don't need to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: football every single day, you know, so really just kind
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: of taking a break and clearing my mind and then
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: once I do get back to it, still staying in
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: shape like working out and getting those lifts in and
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: stuff like that. But just finding that routine I think
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: is the biggest thing for me. I got a routine
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: that I feel worse, and like I said, diet, whether
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: it's the diet, workouts, and then just sticking to that
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: year in and year out. You know, I don't really
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: change too much in it, and I feel it helps
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: me out every year.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, creatures are habit. We have that, creatures a habit.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest thing for me, because
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: when you're young and you want to you want so
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: of the seasons over. You're like, man, I want to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: get back to working out and I want to get
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: back to lifting and get back on the field. And
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: then you get to this and your body hurt, me
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: sore and you having hamstring and calf issues in training camp,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and you're like, you didn't get your body a big
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: enough break. You know after the season that he'll love
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to recover and to do with all the things you necessary.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: So it's it's great that you found that routine. What's
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: what's your goals in the future, outside of obviously the
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: team goals, super Bowl and playoffs, what are your personal goals?
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: Personal goals, I would say defensive player of the Year,
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: definitely keep stacking on the Pro Bowls, Super Bowl, and
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: just really like my main goal.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Every year is just to be that guy at.
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: The corner position, Like they need me to go out
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: there and be a dominated number one corner, take away
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: my side of the field, and that's what that's my
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: goal to go out there, don't give them no catches,
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: make plays, and just be that guy for the team.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: You know, somebody that could be counted on you, dang
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: sure counted on right.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: Now and and and when you're that guy, your pockets
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: get counted on. So I'm happy to see you getting
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: what you deserve and continue to play at a high level.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Let me know if you got any questions for me.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to hold up your whole day.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure.
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: No, I definitely got a question here with a great
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Hall of Fame player, great talent. So I'll say, what
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: separated you or what allowed you to play in such
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: an elite level throughout your years in the NFL.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I think it was the mental side of it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I think understanding the coordinators, understanding situational football. When I trained,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: I tried to make sure I kept it mental even
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: when I'm training, even when I'm fatigued, and even when
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I'm working my body and my body's breaking down and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: we're running gasers, I'm let my brain function because a
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: lot of times you're in those situations in the game
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: that's when it's passed w It's not when you're comfortable
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: and you're feeling good and you're doing all this. It's
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: when you dead tired, your shoulder kind of hurt because
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: you just made a tack with you a little bit dazed,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and you're like, it's third and five. Can I remember
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: the concept that I run on thirty five? I remember
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: the concept they run it on third and eight out
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: of a bunch, Like, Hey, when the receiver going motion
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and come back? Is it that double follow? Is it
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that drive? Does it drive basic? Is it spot seven?
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: What is the route concept? And I would challenge myself
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: when I'm super fatigued to be able to diagnose and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: really digest that information. And it helped in a lot
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: of those games, because when you get those big games,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: it's a two minute drive. You're seeing Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: You're seeing these dudes, and you gotta process it. It
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: can't and that's the most uncomfortable time. And I think
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: that's the hardest thing for guys, even when they're great
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: in the classroom and even when they can go and
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: walk through and diagnose it and you figured it out
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: in practice, can you do it in that game when
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the lights is brightish, she's tired, you're hurting, and be
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: out there and go up and make the play. It's
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: something to be able to see it and hey, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: know it's curl, I know it's dig and do this,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: but can you break? And then when the ball come
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: and can I get the booking?
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: So that's why I want to ask you too, So
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: what makes you comfortable in those high tense situations? So
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: you're going against Tom Brady like two minutes on the clock,
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: you know, tod game, Like, what makes you comfortable in
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: those high pressure situations?
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: It was something that Pete Carroll really preached to us
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: throughout our time. Everything is a championship game every like
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: if you came to our practices, it'll make a lot
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: more sense because our practices were like games, like we
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: Like trying to kill each other.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: In fact, we out there full speed yet attacking like
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: so when you get in the game, it's easier than
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: practice because they're not matching the intensity a lot of
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: times every now and then they are, but for the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: most part, like we never turn off, So that's what
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: makes it tough, and offseason, when it's time to turn
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: turn it down. They'd be like, you know, our thing
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was turned down for what Like we were running and
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: hitting everything moving. So just just making sure that we
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: took everything that serious. And and the guys around I
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: would say, held that standard. Like you got Bobby Wagner,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: you got Earl Thomas, you got Cam Chancer, you got
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Mike Bennett.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: You got real we had some boys. So the standard
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: is the standard all the time.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: And when you when you have that, you consistently are
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: getting pushed every day like we if y'all don't if
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: y'all want the offense to move the ball, don't put
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: them out here with us. Like if y'all it's the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: off season you want you want us to not go
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: after the ball, you want us to not, then don't
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: put them out here, and don't put us out here.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Sure they're gonna find you. They're gonna take your draft picks.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: If you put that ball up, we're going for It's
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, just kind of guys.
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: We work real, that's real. I appreciate that, man.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: It was great having you.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Man. I appreciate you. I appreciate you taking the time
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: to be on here with me. I got a lot
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: of respect for your game, and I want to keep
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: in contact.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Likewise, man, I appreciate.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Richard Sherman Podcast. And today we
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: got an incredible guest receiver for the Green Bay Packers,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs. Appreciate you joining me, brother, I appreciate you.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: So you've been with the Packers your whole career. Talk
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: me through your journey with them. It's been an incredible deal.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it looks like you've had a tremendous amount
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: of success, gotten better every year, been really dominant on
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: the field.
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: But tell me how you see things going.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: I thought my growth internally was the biggest thing for me.
• 25:47
  Speaker 6: I know, because I know football, that's another world. I
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: know that's the main thing. But I just want to say, yeah,
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: those four years outside of football, I thought just my
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: growth as a human also aligned with just some of
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: my football player you know what I mean? And yeah,
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: I mean I love the organization. I love how they
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: how they're structured. I love the process on how they
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: go about things, and ultimately, if you just go down
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: the line of who's been there, like, it shows that
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: they give opportunities for the players not only to grow
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: in the football world, but just as a person as well. Man,
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: And you know, I appreciate Green Bay dearly, and yeah, bro,
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: I mean I love the organization.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Man, You've you've played fantastic and you never know how
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: other places are because you know, your experience is only
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: the team you played for and you got drafted to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Green Bay.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: How different? What's that?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Because from the outside looking at it, I've only played
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: there a few times, we've gone there with Thursday night football,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: but it looks like such a close knit community, it's
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: such a great fan base obviously, such a historic team.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: But what you've been your experience as a player, I thought, just.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: That's a great question, man.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: I think it just I feel like everything was so
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: on time, just how everything.
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: Played out throughout my years.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Like it wasn't like I was a guy that came
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: in and had a blazing season, you know what I'm saying,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: Like every year it was it was something you know
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: what I'm saying, playing ball and you know, again, just
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: and in a situation alone like it, especially this year specifically,
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: it gave me an opportunity to actually I wouldn't say
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I will being a leader, you know, because again our
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: team was so young where there was no guy that
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: was in year seven, year eight, that can literally show
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: us the ropes where in this case we were growing
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: as a unit. And I emphasized that. I want to say,
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: going into my second year being under Matt Lafleur, you
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: know what I mean, y'all.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur and I guess your entire team, your entire
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: at least offensively, have preached this. You know, everybody he
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: eats kind of what Buffalo says. But you guys have
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: said the same thing. Like, you guys have a really
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: great receiver receiving group. You know, Christian Watson, you, Matthew Golden, Read,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: so many guys that you know, at any given time
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: can just go off and take the game over. But
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: but in some capacities, I know, you know, just being honest,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: And then I've said this a few times, but I
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: know how receivers are and mentally everybody feels the other guy,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: and when when the ball spreads around like that, there
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: could be a little bit of frustration and divisiveness.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: But your group hasn't.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like, at least from outside looking in,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you guys haven't dealt with that. You guys have been
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: really unselfish really supportive of one another and talked me
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: through that.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: How how that receiver room is so tight?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Uh, like you said, man, just supporting one another, bro.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: And again like when again you get in the game
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: and you know, Jayden takeover.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I'm taking pride of my blocking.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Like, that's just what it
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: That's just what it was, you know what I mean.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: And ultimately, I mean just being around them, it was amazing.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: And like I said before, the biggest reason for it,
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: it was just our growth, bro, And I apprecate all your.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Long man, But when it comes down to this time,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: when you finally become a free agent, it leads to
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: that question, can you be a true number one receiver
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League? And I think teams are
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: gonna want that question answered. Obviously your play answers it,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: but the opportunities are limited for them to see that.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: What do you have to say to those teams? I mean,
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: I believe I could be a number one guy. That's
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: a no brainer.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: But it's just I mean, yeah, I don't really got nothing.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: But it's on the field. You have been fantastic.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: You're an incredible deep ball runner, You're incredible route runner.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: When the balls in the air, you're You're a great guy.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: You win a lot of those matchups. Talk about what
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: you could do with the amount of opportunities some of
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: these receives get, because some of these receivers are.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Geting one hundred and fifty targets. Again, I mean a year.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: It's like, you give me one hundred and fifty targets,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going crazy.
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, that's any that's any receiver. You know what
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: I'm saying. And I thought, again, just being under this system,
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: I did a fantastic job just making the most of
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: my opportunity of what.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: I was given being there.
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: Because again, man, everybody in that room can go ahead
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: any moment, bro, So no question.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: So what what would you want for the future? Obviously
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: you've been with Green Bay your entire career. Would you
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: want to stay there? Have those conversations happen? Have you
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: started to walk down the avenue or are you just
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: letting your agent handle everything?
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna let my agent handle everything because again,
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm new to this. I do have Again,
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: I have some experience under my belt, but I don't
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: want to do too much. I'm gonna let him do
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: his job. He's amazing at what he does. And yeah, man,
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna just leave everything unknown because it's a lot
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: there right now.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Well, let's talk through this season, because you guys came in.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I thought you guys were amongst the super both favorites
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: coming into the year. You got you got Jordan Love
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: and he's been incredible. He's been talking about him as
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a teammate and how he's helped elevate your game and
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the guys around him in the growth that you've seen.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this bro.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, because I mean I've been around Jordan. I
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: mean I was around him obviously when Aaron was there,
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: my rookie before he took off or whatnot. But I
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: just thought his growth just as a player and the
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: system as a human, I just think it's amazing to
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: see because not only is he the same person, but
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: just some of the traits that he's been able to
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: add on amongst himself. I just thought it was really
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: I thought it was really great to.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: See, man.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought in that playoff game against Chicago
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: that might have been his best game of the season.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I thought he executed the offense really well. What do
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: you feel like went wrong in that game. I felt
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: like you guys were in complete control. We had the game,
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: so you guys were in the ball well with Josh
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Jacobs early on, you guys freaking were controlling that. It
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: looks like he was unstoppable in that game. You guys
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: passed the ball efficiently, and then things in the second
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: half just kind of fell apart.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: What did you see?
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: I don't you know, and I still question it, But
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: ultimately there's a winner, there's a loser. Clearly the winner
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: had the better game plan. And again I'm just being
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: on the bright side of things. Obviously, losing in the
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: league is not it, and yeah, it just gives me
• 32:23
  Speaker 6: something to learn from, the grow from, and obviously just
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: be better moving forward.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: You talk about you're talking to somebody who know heartbreak
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: from loss. Now you're talking to somebody who knows whose
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: heart's been broken.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: So believe you be.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: I know how much it hurts losing those playoffs, But
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: you guys just played such a had such a great
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: offensive season, You played such a great game that way,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and I just I really admire how you guys support
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: one another, because in the league that can be incredibly
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: individual and selfish. You guys show an unselfishness in that room.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: That's that's uncommon. Yes, yeah, man, So talk to me
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: about Lafleur. How great of a coach he is?
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, man, I love I love the floor man, you
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: know now that man, Yeah, I'm gonna take my time
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: with this one. Brouh great offensive mind and he's a
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: huge part of you know, I am where I am
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: now just in terms of just my football knowledge and
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: just understanding the game, understanding the situations.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: I give I give him a ton of credit for that. Bro.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: I just think, you know, he's very upfront, just honest,
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: and very understanding, you know what I mean. So yeah,
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: I mean the system that he runs. A lot of
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: teams run, you know, in some version of that system.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: So it's easy to see how you could fit in
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: other places because so many of these teams have have
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: really tried to pattern their offensive scheme behind him, and
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: they sha and you know, which is a really cool
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: scheme which gives you a lot of opportunities in my mind,
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: But you know, we're not to go.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: There.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: But I appreciate you. You got anything for me? I appreciate you, man,
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: you know, glad to meet you in person. That's you
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying. Amazing ball player. Thank you, no
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: problem at all.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you joining my brother, an honor to
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: have your own good luck down the line, and I
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: hope you get all the money you deserve.
