• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got you. You didn't get off, get out.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: We know the drill.
• 0:04
  Speaker 3: Appreciate it.
• 0:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, First off, I don't know if this is breaking news.
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: The Detroit Lions are now a cool football team. It's
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: now cool. It's now cool to be a Lions fan.
• 0:14
  Speaker 4: It's cool to be in the in Michigan and being like, yo,
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: we have the best college football program all the time,
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes away from Detroit, and now we possibly have
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl champions in twenty twenty four But I feel
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: like you and I are very similar when it comes
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: to the draft. I'll take you back to twenty fourteen.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Lions were picking at number ten. I went to the
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: University of Michigan. I was sitting there, I saying to myself,
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: for the love of God, please Lions do not pick me.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: I do not want to go to this horrendous franchise.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: No disrespect because I just said we're cool. Now, I
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: just said we're cool, So it's all good. I have
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: some intel saying that you felt very similar in those
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: situations and now you're part of a cool franchise.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Has a feel No, not similar at all, to be honest.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: Let's just get that out the way. I mean it's
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: a lot different than when you were going in the draft,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: I mean you didn't have Campbell, you didn't have homes. So, uh,
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: when I got drafted, I was really just happy. I mean,
• 1:04
  Speaker 5: to be honest, I thought I was gonna go earlier.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: So once I just went past five, I was kind
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: of like, all right, wherever I goes I meant to be.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: I got picked here, and uh, I think it's the
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: best decision of my life.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: To be honest, where'd you think you were gonna go?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I think I was gonna go to Cincinnati.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Were you hopeful for that?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Nah? I honestly I was helpful for anything. Just I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: didn't care.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, because that was when they were talking
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: about Cincinnati needs to take a tackle and.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: It took jam Chase right, yep, and a great decision.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Now it was your camp sitting there being like, yo,
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati's the move, that's where you're gonna go.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Uh. For the most part, it was leaning towards that way. Yeah.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: And how has it been seeing the fandom of the
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Lions when you first got here out people are excited
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: about Dan and all that, but there was just like
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: the thirty years you guys literally broke the seal on
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: something they haven't done forever. Seeing it now this year,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: all the hype you get back in the city, You
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: see everyone just totally dialed into everything. How does that
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: feel knowing that you've been in a huge part of.
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: That, man, it feels a amazing to be honest, just
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: because my rookie year, I think we didn't win a
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: game until like week twelve or like eleven or something
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: like that, and that was depressing, to be honest, never
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: been a part of something like that, And uh, just
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: to see our growth from there, and just to see
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: what type of dudes that are in his building now,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: it's just amazing. You just see the progress, You see
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: the blueprint that Holmes and Campbell put together and just
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: makes you love the game, you know.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: With all Like everybody loves coach Campbell. He's always got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the clips that go viral. People love the football guy
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of the that he is.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: What is your biggest pet peeve of Coach Campbell pet peeve?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: There's not a lot, but sometimes when he's in a
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: team meeting room, he'll go on a spiel. And when
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: he's on his spiel, sometimes he needs to take a break.
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: And it's a long break and you just don't know
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: what's gonna come out of his mouth next. So he's
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: going on about a story. He'll pause for a nice
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: three minutes and then totally just veer off another direction,
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: like we could talk about football and then have that
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: pause and then talk about his.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Dog and the conversation done.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: You're just like, I thought that was supposed to be
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: like kind of inspirational, motivational, kind of get something out
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: of it.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And then he'll just yeah, man, he's really thinking of
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: something deep here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Yes, exactly the man. I'm about to get pumped right now. YEA,
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: give me something, coach.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: And then dog loves steak or something like. That's probably
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: the one thing.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: You know, after the first thirty seconds of that three
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: minute period, you're just like you whisper to your boy,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: like kind of nudging his leg.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: You can see his heart racing too.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: He's just like breathing heavily, and you're just said, all right,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: come on, coach, Okay, what are you about to say?
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: And then he drops that and you're just like, all right, coach,
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I see you next time.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Did Your offensive line is probably one of the best
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: in the entire NFL Like, sorry, no, that's sieving your
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: hard time. But with Frank and then Graham leaving and
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: coming back and Decker and you, like, the expectation for
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: you guys got to be so high this year. Like,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: do you guys talk about how you know there's such
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: a like the foundation of the team is really on
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: the offensive line? Do you guys talk about how important
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: it is for you guys to essentially live up to
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the standard that everyone's putting on you guys right now?
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: We definitely don't talk about it because I think a
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: lot of people already know and that everyone else is
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: kind of talking for us, And so I think our
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: thing is is just coming into the building every day
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: and be in that example, you know, just not even
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: talking about it, just be it and filling those shoes
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: with no hesitation and a lot of confidence. So I
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: don't think we need to talk about it, So we
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: just be about it.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: The offensive line rooms are the best. What do you
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: guys operate by any rules?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: So for example, it's like the fine system.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: The fine there's always a fine system.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I feel like everywhere if you get mentioned in a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: team meeting, you know, that's a fine. If you're doing
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: anything quirky, like, what rules does your guys offensive line
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: room have?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's with rookies.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Maybe no rules for like I guess the vets and
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: the older guys, but the rookies they have to stock
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: the fridge, sodas, juice, water, whatever, whatever the fellas want.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And then snacks, little debbies gotta be a lot of
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: little Debbie.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Snacks, big little Debbie guy.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, big, big time. And then uh, that's about it.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: And then maybe one of the vets want like an
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: express machine or like a hot dog stand or whatever
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: they want, so they'll ask the rookies.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: They gotta get it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as a rookie ever dropped the ball.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: No, so far, this rookie class has been great, honestly.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And what about the what about the holiday season? You
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: get into Spootober? You got Thanksgiving around the corner, Christmas?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: So far, just Christmas. We don't do Thanksgiving or Halloween.
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: We have the rookies decorate the room, and I think
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: that's about it, to be honest.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: You guys get each other gifts.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we do, like a white elephant type vibe.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Is there a limit?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Last year it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Was a thousand thousand minimum.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, minimum.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: That's a good white elef.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, good nice, yeah, some nice stuff out there, some papers.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Down like here, let's do fifty, yeah, knowing it'll go
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: up from there, right and you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Can't do cash, right, can't?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, I can't.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: I don't want to step on your guys traditions, but
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: you guys really need to start decorating for Halloween. You're
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in the middle of the season.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: The document The Rooies, I mean we have folloween yeah
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: yeaah oh wait, actually the team had the team has something.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: It's not just the line, but the team has a
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: thing where all the rookies have to dress up for
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Halloween and then Campbell introduces them, say what they are?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Gotcha?
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, growing up, you grew up in Samhow.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Correct correct America simum?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: And then you went to Utah when you're twelve years old?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Correct? When?
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Where when did you pick up football? Because obviously you
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: go into Oregon, you're an immediate starter, you win the
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: Outland Trophy. Like you've had a very deck great career already.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: But usually kids are picking up the game of like five, six,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: seven years old?
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Were you doing that?
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I've always been around a game, so like not playing it,
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: like with pads on and everything. But my dad was
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: a coach, so honestly, since probably like four five, I've
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: been around the game, just running around his high school team,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: helping him set up cones and oftentimes running the drills
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: with the players. And then my first padded youth gig
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: was when I was nine turning ten. And this age
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: group is a little different on the island because you
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: can't really be specific because of money and all that.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: It's not that much.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: So I think it was like ten to thirteen you
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: could play, and then like that was the only range
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: for the youth football down there. So I was nine
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: turning ten and my two older brothers were already playing,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: and I was like, man on the I'm on the age,
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: let me play. My dad didn't let me play that year,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: and just because everyone was just huge at thirteen on
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: the island, and so I played my when I was ten,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: and that's when I just I got killed left and right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: just getting killed by these thirteen fourteen.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Year olds.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Didn't play at all. But I think that moment right
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: there is what really set me up for success, because
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: once I got to the island, I was the bully.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: Like growing up, I knew all those hits that I
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: got were like hard and like all those things is
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: kind of like taking as a little kid.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Now I'm the one giving it, you know what I mean.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: So like I'm the one staying in the tone, and
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: I know what it feels like and I know how
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: to what it looks like.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So what was it like growing up in a household
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: like you? Obviously your three brothers they all play ball.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You're an old man's a head coach. What's it like
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: growing up in an environment like that?
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Honestly, it was a lot of fun. A lot of
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: broken things in the house. Mom didn't like it, but yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: super fun. We played football every second we had.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Is that hard on you guys for football?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah? That's about it. Though.
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: It was like football was my dad and academics was
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: my mom. Ye, so but yeah, it was really harsh
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: on us, uh in terms of like doing the right
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: things and uh uh learning to plays and stuff like that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: So but every chance we got on the island to
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: play football on the beach in our backyard on the mountain, like,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: we played it, and it was like our football was
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: like a bottle like this, sorry, let me not put
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: that up like that one, and then we'd fill it
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: up the bottom with like sand and then water and
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: it'd have some weight on it and that'd be our
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: football just because we didn't have one.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: And then we just tossed around and just tackle each
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: other basically.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you ended up going to Oregon, which
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: has like the nicest facilities.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: All yeah. No, it was a total total flip.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Total flip. What made you choose Orgon.
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: To be honest, it was a personnel that was there,
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: head coach Mario Cristobal, that's my guy. Loved that dude
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: to death and fell in love with this whole philosophy,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: his whole vibe and what he's about. And I know
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: he's an online guy too, And to have an online
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: guy as a head coach, I think it's pretty good
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: for me.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: So no doubt.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Should we tear talk.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: Let's hear some tier talk real quick?
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: All right, So we have this segment called tier talk,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: where essentially you tier one through three, like your top three.

  Speaker 7: Thanks appreciate it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: I really respect it.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm super curious what it was like growing up
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in the household with your old man.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: Honestly, for me, it was normal, Like that's the that's
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: the life I grew up. You know, knowing him, you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: being the guy he is. Everyone sees the way he acts.
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: You know, him telling me to drink a coke at halftime.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: I'm used to it, get those texts all the time,
• 15:58
  Speaker 7: you know, the sayings that he has. I'm used to
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: it him, you know, being like our trainers, but you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: outside of sports and being our trainer. He was awesome dad,
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: So it was a good time.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: When we had CMC on.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: He would say that his dad ed McCaffrey like he
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: would get grounded if he got arm tackled in youth football.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Did you have anything like that with your old man,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: because I would assume he was pretty hard on you guys.
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Yeah, no, I didn't get no. I wouldn't say I
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: got grounded or you know, punished for anything. It was
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: just like, you know, if you had a bad game,
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: getting that car right home is always hell. It's like
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: that's the last thing you want to do after the game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: After a bad game. Yeah, you know, you got to
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: get in the car with your dad and go home
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: and he's gonna tell you everything you did wrong and
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: what you got to fix and how you got to
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: be better, and so those are I would say, that's
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: what I dreaded most, is the car right home, or
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: we'd go after, you know, after practice, go back to
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: the park, buy a house and get more drills in,
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: just keep working on the stuff that I wasn't doing right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: So I was used to it, but as a kid,
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: it's like here a right, here we go, Like I
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: gotta go back to this an that's all I knew.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: With with your old man, like obviously him being a
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: part of like your strength, your coaching, all that stuff.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: At what point when you're like, hey, Dad, like I'm
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: a senior at USC, I have coaches for this name.
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: And college. It was it was a little different because
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: I wasn't with him. So I was the first time
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: I wasn't with my dad, you know, almost every day.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: So but I went to USC, so it was like
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: an hour away from from his house, so he'd be
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: at a lot of the practices. Obviously he couldn't come
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: to all them because some practices aren't open to family,
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: but he would come to a lot of them, and
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: you know, he would still coach me up. He kind
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: of let me do my thing. But when I got
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: to college, but if he saw anything that he didn't like,
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: he was either telling me, text me, calling me, whatever
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: it was. But even still to this day in the NFL,
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: he's still you know, texting me, calling me, you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: giving me his thoughts and opinions for me. You know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: I respect it. Obviously, you know, he's never played at
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: this level, so some of the things it's hard for
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: me to explain to him. Because, like I tell other people,
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: He's like, I want you to get the ball on
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: for a second, third down every play, like you should
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: be getting the ball. I'm like, it doesn't work like that.
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: I gotta run routes, gotta run guys off and things
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: like that. So he just wants me to, you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: keep going, keep going in.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: But I love him to death.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: How is his exposure as far as like the Netflix
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: receiver and all that, How has he been received by
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the public?
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: People love him, Bro, Yeah, I'm in the locker room.
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: I got teammates not even talking about me. They're talking
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: about my dad. Man. I love your dad, Bro, he's awesome.
• 18:25
  Speaker 7: I got Michael Badget tell me he's looking at all
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: the podcasts. He's keeping up with him and he loves
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: his sayings. I tell everyone like, Bro, I'm I'm used
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: to it. Like every day I can tell you what
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: he's about to stay before he even says it, Like
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: I know exactly what type of guy is. But the
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: people love him and they love you know. I think
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: he's he's raw, he's honest, he's he's himself, no matter
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: if the cameras or if it's not. And I think
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: people you know, respect that, but I think his personality
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: is just one of one.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: What's his go to quote? Like, what is the number
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: one quote of his.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: Go to quote? I mean, as a kid who was
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: so many I feel like he always, you know, reminded
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: us about, you know, this decision making. He would tell
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: us something, he would tell us. You know, you can
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: either listen to me or listen to yourself. But if
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: I were you, I would listen to me. That's something
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: he always told us growing up as kids. I mean
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: there's so many uh you know, shoot for the stars
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: because the bottoms of a crowded I mean, he has
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: so many sayings. Then he has these little like one off.
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: I don't know if you guys seen our podcasts, but
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: it's like, if the situation arises and something looks too
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: good to be true, be careful. All Kenny looks good
• 19:36
  Speaker 7: before you taste it. Like, there's so many little sayings
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: he has that he always Yeah, but I'm used to it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: I mean I've picked up some from him too.

  Speaker 4: You brought the podcast. How long have you guys been
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: doing a podcast?

• 20:02
  Speaker 1: five stars drop comments. Dude, I love the way you play.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: I feel like you play pissed off.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Which also is.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: I guess I'll use the word like unexpected. You're a
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: five star cat, you go to USC, you leave early
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and declared for the draft, You get drafted, which round
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: to get fourth round? But where do you find Where
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: do you feel like you found this chip on your
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: shoulder to play the way that you play?
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: I think for me it was I've always been like
• 20:32
  Speaker 7: that ever since you know, I was a kid. I've
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: just been super competitive, like I've always and I hated losing.
• 20:37
  Speaker 7: Like that's the biggest thing for me is whatever I do,
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: I don't want to lose, especially if I'm playing sports,
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: because I love I love sports. I loved them growing up, basketball, football, soccer, everything.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: I hated losing. And so when I got to high school,
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: I played varsity as a sophomore and I played a
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: little got hurt, broke my foot, and then my brother
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: was balling out. He was a junior going crazy. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: was like, killing my brother would do me. So then
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: he you know, next year, I'm a junior, he's a senior.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: I gotta do better than him. He was going crazy.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: He was like, had like fifteen touchdowns over a thousand
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: yards and I was super happy for him. But I
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: was like just me being me, like being around my
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: brothers all the time. I got to do better than
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: my brother. So going into my junior year, I was like,
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: I got to do better him. So we both, you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 7: had great years. I might have had a little more touch,
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: like a few more stats in him, but it was
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: like neck and neck. He ended up leaving, going to Stanford.
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: And then you know, I got my senior year at
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: Modern Day and at that time, I was like a
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: five star or whatever like you said, and won the
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: state title. Yeah, we won everything. One of the best
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: teams ever in high school football. But we won the
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: whole thing. You know, did all the camps and Nike
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: opening and everything, and being at those camps. I just
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: love one on ones. That was the biggest thing for me,
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: was doing one on ones. You against the dB. What
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: a quarterback everyone's watching, and I just I just love
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: the competition aspect of you know, me versus you. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: then ever since, I feel like, you know, high school
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: into college, I wanted to play as a freshman. So
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: I was out there as a freshman, trying to dog
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: people whatever I could do, running people over, blocking, trying
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: to make every catch, taking every rep if I could,
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: And that just kind of translated all the way. And
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: then I got dropped late. I was mad, already got
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: here and same thing over again. I wanted to go dominate.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's something about like football players, even when you're
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: having the success you do, they like in a good way,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: like delusion of making being like these people don't believe me.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna have a chip on my shoulder. Right
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: with your brother going to Stanford and you guys planning
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: against each other in the PAC twelve, the conference formerly
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: noticed PAC twelve. Did you ever think about going to Stanford?
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: I did. It was between Notre Dame, Stanford, and USC,
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: so I had my oldest went to Notre Dame, middle
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: went to Stanford, and I went to USC becoming I
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: was like, I love I always loved Stanford because it
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: was an educational smart school. I just love Coach Shaw
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: and everyone. And then Notre Dame. I didn't really know
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: much about Notre Dame. My brother took a visit and
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: I went with him, and I was like, this is
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: pretty cool, like tradition everything the local is little, eh,
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: but like once you get there, it's like its own world.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: The games are amazing electric. So went to Notre Dame.
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: When I visit. I love Notre Dame, but I was like,
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: he ended up declaring as I was coming out of
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: high school, so I peopuld have stayed. I think one
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: more year. I probably would have went to Notre Dame
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: to play with my older brother because I've never played
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: with him, but he ended up declaring to go with
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: the NFL. I was like, you know what. Notre Dame
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: was cool. He just left though Stanford they don't really
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: throw the ball. I love the school, but they don't
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: throw as much as I would like. And USC is
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: close to home, and I want to keep my talent, Yeah,
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: my talent at home.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You mentioned being pissed off being drafted late. There's a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: you have a list of receivers that got drafted out
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of you. What are the names on those lists?
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: You know I would recite those again for you guys,
• 23:43
  Speaker 7: but you guys probably heard it too many times. You
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: guys are sick of it now, so I can't do
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: it again for you guys.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Now. When you were coming out, I know a couple
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: of sites like PFF Draft Network, they projected you in
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: like second or third round and talked to you being
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: a pure second string player. Do you ever think do
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you ever remember? Are these things now that you've had
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the success that you do?
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 24:03
  Speaker 7: You know, I wouldn't say like back, you know, coming
• 24:06
  Speaker 7: out obviously, you know when I first started, when I
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: first got here and it started making some plays. Yeah,
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: But like now it's I feel like I don't really
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: pay too much attention to that. I mean, that's their job.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: They got to make. Media has to make, you know, predictions, whatever,
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: that's their job. That's they have to do. I don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: blame him. I don't think they're the best at it,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: but it is what it is. But now I'm at
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: a point in my career where it's like I'm worried
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: about Obviously, I want.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: To play good.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: Every player wants to play good, but I feel like
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: we just want to win a super Bowl. That's the
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: biggest thing, whatever it takes for me as a team
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: to lead, whatever it is to be a good teammate,
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: to make more players. If I have to go out
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: there and go be super Bowl champs, that's the biggest thing.
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: I feel like we know we can do as a team.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: We feel like we got the guys in our in
• 24:55
  Speaker 7: our building, on our roster, the coaches, We've been here
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: for a while now, and we got so close last
• 25:01
  Speaker 7: year that I mean, we just gotta we just got
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: to push a little harder.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: If when Will Wills already talks about the intensity you
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: play with and everything, the competitive nature when you're in
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: the lock room with guys in the wide receiver room
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: is a dramatic room. It can be very like finicky
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: that way when you see guys maybe not putting in
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: the same effort as you. How do you approach it
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: from a leadership standpoint?
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: You know, sometimes it's tough for me. I feel like
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: I don't wanna I don't want to the teammates the
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: think I'm you know, being tough on them or I
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: don't like them. So that's kind of something that I'm
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: trying to been trying to battle right now. Is when
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: to speak up and when not to because I'm I'm
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: not a guy that's a hoorah guy. I'm gonna go
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: out there. I don't say much. I like to work.
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: I'd rather show you better than I can tell you.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: But you know, if something is out of line and
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: I feel like I need to speak up, I'll speak up.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: But you know, if someone's not working hard on the field,
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: I feel like with our practice, it's kind of hard
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: not to work hard. When everyone's working hard, you'll kind
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: of be like the the automat now if you're not
• 26:01
  Speaker 7: doing the right thing. So I feel like our coaches
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: and teammates everyone does a great job of pushing each other,
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: so that's not really a problem we have here. But
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: like I said, if something is really out of line,
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: then I'll speak up. But for the most part, I
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: just like to show the guys how I work, and
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: you know, then my plate at the talking.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Do you find yourself like focusing on developing into that,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: like more of a vocal leader now that like when
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: you're a guy, like obviously your voice carries more weight.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Like I said, something I've been working on because
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: my whole life I haven't really been a vocal leader.
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: That's not something that I thriving. You know, I feel
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: like some guys talk too much and that's really that's
• 26:37
  Speaker 7: not the guy I want to be. I want to
• 26:40
  Speaker 7: be a guy that when I do say something, you
• 26:42
  Speaker 7: know people are listening. So it just hasn't been me,
• 26:46
  Speaker 7: but something I definitely need to work on get better
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: as being more vocal. But like I said, I don't
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: want to be redundant and someone that's speaking to me
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: it's the worst for me. So like, I'll speak up
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: if I have to, but something has to really be
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: going wrong for me to speak up.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, USC going to the Big ten this year. How
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: do you feel the boys in California stack up against
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: a real big ten ball?
• 27:06
  Speaker 7: You know, I love the move. We're not We're not
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: worried about the Big ten though.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Let's unpack that for a second. One of the national champions.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: You guys got to take a lot of long fights.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: Fights Michigan wants to do is run it like just
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: packed the box. They can't throw, make him throw will
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: be good.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: Every team they played against did that and they lost
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: to everything.
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: They've all gone now.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: They lost eight guys who they lost eight.
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: Dudes right, Michigan did.
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, actually they lost fifteen guys, so they all
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: got drafted. Even guys. Even what are you talking about?
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: Who is reloaded?
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: What's USC doing?
• 27:40
  Speaker 7: Don't we got Lincoln? Righty? Do you guys?

• 27:46
  Speaker 4: that a big thing?

• 27:48
  Speaker 8: If you want to do it, go ahead, you know
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: I love that. Yeah, that's a good PC answer. So

  Speaker 8: you you guys are gonna run the big ten.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: No problem.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: I don't know if we're gonna run it, but it's
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: gonna be It's gonna be fun. I know Michigan is done.
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: Like they had their one shot. It's over.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: That isn't wilde wild statement? Half of your fans are
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Michigan fans?
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: No, they're Detroit Lions fans. And if you're not a
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: USC fan, there's a problem.

• 28:42
  Speaker 7: Michigan one, raining like crazy, I'm from I'm from southern California.

• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Number one.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: I couldn't catch a ball in this Then I'm like
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: and they lost. Vibes were low. Recruiting coordinator wasn't feeling I'm.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Good, Bro.
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: It was a stadium loud, No know, why are you
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: doing this?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Man? Like getting a rapport to get.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Out of it.

  Speaker 4: I can't wait till Cetemery keep your DMS open. I
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: will be there, will be after that game.
• 29:10
  Speaker 7: I will be ready right now.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, dude, what do you mean for you to be
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: the youngest receiver to a mass of thousand yards? I
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: think it was eight days before Calvin Johnson.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: It was cool. I mean, I mean, that's a that's it.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: That's that's just cool.
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: That's awesome, right, I mean, Covin's one of the best
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: ever played. So for me, like being in, you know,
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: playing for the Lions, everything you do is compared to Covin,
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: which is it's great, but it's also tough. Like he's
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: the best, one of the best to ever do it.
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: So it's an honor to be, you know, even considered,
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: you know, being the same conversation as him. But he
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: did it for so long, and I feel like, I mean,
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: I see a pictures on Twitter of him when he
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: was playing the Saints. It's him on the goal line
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: with literally two dbs on him. You don't see that
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: anymore anywhere. Like that just shows you how, you know,
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: how dominant he was. So just to you know, being,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: like I said, in the same conversation as him is
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: an honor. But I gotta keep going. Man, he was
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: he was a he was a beast.

• 37:16
  Speaker 4: putting a whole lot of thought too it. So we
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: have an insurance policy, what would be your top three
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: teammates of all time?
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: Of all time?
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Because you've had You've had some good teammates.
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, I'm gonna lean towards like the funniest guys
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: I've been around. In Graham's one of them. Graham's one
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: of them, probably like Taevon Austin used to kill me.
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: I was with him for a couple of years in
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: La Shoot favorite. I mean, that's hard. I know Tevon
• 37:42
  Speaker 6: was funny as hell. I love Tavan, so I'll put
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: him as two or three. And then you know, David
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: Montgomery makes me laugh a lot here.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is he jokes are on the team.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's hilarious. He's funny, but like very subtle humor
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: and really funny.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Should we ask him what we asked and a no
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: about coach Campbell?
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: He's such a beloved character. Everybody is a beloved or
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: beloved beloved. Everybody loves him any clip. You see, he's
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: a football guy through and through. We asked, what is
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: your biggest pet peeve with him?
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: Oh gosh, you know, I'll just I'll tow the company
• 38:25
  Speaker 6: line here, just how consistent he is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Meetings.
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: He'll get long winded, pauls and take a break for
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: like a minute, three minutes long.
• 38:36
  Speaker 6: Sure, that's a good answer. That's a better answer that
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: I gave. He's just so dank consistent. He's hard to
• 38:39
  Speaker 6: keep up with.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: You know, we're not going to get anything out of him.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no doubt.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: That is tough. That's a great, perpleically correct answer.
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's true. But yeah, I wish I had something better.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: What I want to I definitely want to dive into
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: like obviously l a coming here and then the playoff
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: game you guys had, but like starting with the fan bases. Yeah,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: what is the biggest difference you know this from like
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: this Midwest fan base compared to that West Coast fan base.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's entirely different. Obviously, you played at Michigan, so
• 39:06
  Speaker 6: you have a little bit of a feel for it.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Like the people around here just live, breathe, die football,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: And in LA there's just a lot of things to
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: do that aren't football, and whether it's other sports or
• 39:16
  Speaker 6: the beach or you know, going to dinner, a million things.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: But around here, man, it's football. And we got the
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: whole state is Lions fans in California. Obviously there's a
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: bunch of teams, so it's entirely different, and it's a
• 39:26
  Speaker 6: lot of fun to playball do.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: What was the ride like when you guys are bringing
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: that division title here?
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: Fun?
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: Fun, really fun.
• 39:32
  Speaker 6: It really started in like twenty twenty two and we
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: were able to like kind of turn it around a
• 39:36
  Speaker 6: little bit. We had that Thanksgiving game at home against
• 39:39
  Speaker 6: the Bills. It's kind of when I first saw the
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: stadium kind of flip and like, oh, this is what
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: it could be like if we kept winning and kept
• 39:45
  Speaker 6: making plays, and we did through that year and then
• 39:47
  Speaker 6: obviously last year. It's been insane. It's been so fun.
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: The stadium has got to be one of a lot
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: of stadiums.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: In the league now.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: And how much they care and how much they bring
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: it's fun.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: It felt like basically everybody was rooting for you guys,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: especially when you won the division. Town you saw the
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: stadium's reaction. Yeah, I feel like everybody else around the
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: country was buying into the Lions.
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, dude, it felt good. I wouldn't have known until
• 40:09
  Speaker 6: the offseason, had a lot of people being like, hey man,
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: my team was out of it. So I was rude
• 40:12
  Speaker 6: for you guys. All right, thanks, but yeah, our fans
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: deserve it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: They've been through a lot here and we were able
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: to give him a little slice of joy last year
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: and weren't able to finish it off like we wanted to.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: But it was a it was a fun ride.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: They mean to the playing the Rams in the playoffs,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: first meeting Stafford's coming back. He's getting booed in the building.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: It's essentially to get back game for both of you guys.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Because everyone who goes places for a team and they
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: leave go somewhere else. Ben Jones is always the guy
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: comes to mind he played for the Texans, came to
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: the Titans, and every time we played the Texans, it
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: just meant a little bit more Like what was that
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: weak like for you leading up to that with everything
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: on the line.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: It was certainly there was emotions with it, and that
• 40:50
  Speaker 6: was the battle for me was to kind of fight
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: those and focus on what was important and winning the game.
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: And that became easy really when I just thought about
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: like what that game meant to this city, kind of
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: what we had just talked about in these fans. Like,
• 41:02
  Speaker 6: sure it was important for me and there was a
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: lot of storylines for myself, but these guys you know
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: around here that that we hadn't won a playoff game
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: in thirty something years, it was so much bigger than me,
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: and that was easy for me to like focus on
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: that instead and take a lot of the you know, uh,
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: pressure or whatever off off of my performance in the
• 41:20
  Speaker 6: game and just go out there and play.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Does that kind of happen like once you just kind
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: of complete your first pass and get into it. It did,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: because I would assume.
• 41:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, pregame was weird and like like the channing and
• 41:28
  Speaker 6: like all that, there was like a lot of stuff
• 41:29
  Speaker 6: going on, and like, you know, I've seen a lot
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: of my former teammates and a lot of my good friends,
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: former coaches, and you know you're gonna see them, but
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: like until you see them and have those moments, you're like,
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: all right, I gotta go through that and see these guys.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: And but yeah, once the first snap and through the
• 41:42
  Speaker 6: first completion, it was, it was all go from there.
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: What was the feeling like being traded in the situation?
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, you took the ramps to the Super Bowl,
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: you gus had a lot of success and then they're
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: essentially the lines are giving up Stafford and they're they're
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: taking you. How is what was your like thought process
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: going it? Was there a morning process at all?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there was.
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: It was.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: It was certainly a shock at first. You know, there
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: wasn't much conversation Ad with me, and I've I've told
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: this story one hundred times, but there there was just
• 42:10
  Speaker 6: no true communication. And there's been a lot of a
• 42:16
  Speaker 6: lot of talk since then, which has mended some of that,
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: but there wasn't much communication. So it came as a shock.
• 42:22
  Speaker 6: And then you know, as soon as as soon as
• 42:24
  Speaker 6: I talked to Brad and Dan, which was that night.
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: It flipped very quickly into like, Wow, what an opportunity
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: I have here to be on the ground floor of
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: something so special and something that could be you know what.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: We hope to build this into, which a super Bowl
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: champ and we feel like we've had some success and
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: done a lot of that. But the opportunity piece that
• 42:43
  Speaker 6: quickly came in after talking to those guys, uh, completely
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: changed my mentality.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: You know, I was just gonna say, it always sucks
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: when you you've you finally taste like the teeth of
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the business. It almost does a metteral level like you're
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: you were a high paid quarterback for LA. They were
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: born into you. Like even being a lower tier guy
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: not getting resigned by your team. There's always like, once
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: you taste it or you get cut and you rise,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: how much of a business it is and how much
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: lack of conversation actually happened kind of like you're kind
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: of like shunned by it.
• 43:10
  Speaker 6: I think it's made me uh less naive, you know.
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: I think I think when I was younger, like it
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: was like, oh, they love me. You know, we signed
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: the extension. You know, here we go, We're going to
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: be together for fifteen years and everyone thinks that right,
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: and and you know eventually that that changes. And I
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: think it's a lot of my perspective to be much
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: better on what it is. And the relationships are important
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: and you and it is family and you love your guys.
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: But the end of the day, you do know that
• 43:34
  Speaker 6: there are powers that be that will do what is
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: in their in their minds best for the team.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, with one thing I've noticed being at this facility
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: and during practice, a lot of people are saying super Bowl,
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: super Bowl, super Bowl and usually a team that has
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: a success successful, what you did, it's all, but like
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: everyone's kind of afraid to say you want to win
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: a championship. What makes it so easy in this building
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: to make it so like freely said, because a.
• 43:56
  Speaker 6: Lot of times yeah, I know, I know. You mean,
• 43:58
  Speaker 6: we tasted it last year. I think last year, before
• 44:01
  Speaker 6: we had won our first playoff game in thirty years,
• 44:03
  Speaker 6: there was like, hey, we need to get into the
• 44:05
  Speaker 6: playoffs and win the playoff game, which was absolutely the
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: goal last year and it's still the goal now. But
• 44:11
  Speaker 6: I think with that being said, we do know we
• 44:14
  Speaker 6: are capable of more, you know, and we'll be extremely
• 44:17
  Speaker 6: disappointed if we're unable to accomplish either of those goals.
• 44:19
  Speaker 6: But it is win the division, getting the dance, win
• 44:23
  Speaker 6: a playoff game, you know, certainly control your home destiny,
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: and then win a super Bowl. And we're not afraid
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: to say that, like you said, And I think it's
• 44:29
  Speaker 6: because you know, we did taste it last year. We
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: were right there, we had we had played a good
• 44:32
  Speaker 6: game against San Francisco. They played just a little bit better,
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: and we're able to beat us.
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, you guys haven't tasted the
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: playoffs for thirty years, right last year, Let's just say
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: you get in the first round of the playoffs and
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: you guys won the division, but you lose the first
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: round of the playoffs. Are you still saying, hey, successful
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: season like we've last year, key off of our back? Yeah, like, no,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: you're not thinking.
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: That, gosh, No, No, it was winning a playoff game.
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: Winning a playoff game.
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they had been to the playoffs here in the
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: last I don't know how many years when it was
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: the last time, but since I've been here, we hadn't been.
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: But we it was winning a playoff game. And be sure,
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: we were able to get that monkey off our back.
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: But once we, you know, won that first playoff game,
• 45:12
  Speaker 6: it was like, let's go win the super Bowl, and
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: that was our goal for those next following three weeks,
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: and we came up short and and so then the
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: last six months has been let's go win a super Bowl.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: Would you uh, would you cut your dig off for
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: a super Bowl?
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: Man?
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Hard?
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: I you know, I I know that's what very Well
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: said he would do. I'd like to. I'd like to
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: think that I have enough ability to do it without
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: doing that. I had the belief in myself that I
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: don't have to do that. So I'm going to say no,
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: because I'm going to do it without having to do that.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Well said. Well said, how about a pinky toe?
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, I don't know if I'd be able to. I
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: want to be able to play after that, like a
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: super Bowl. No, cause again, like I got my pinky toe,
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: I can I can win. I can win a few more.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, modern medicine technology.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: Sew it back on. If I can sew it back on,
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: can I sew it back on?
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: Sure?
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: Now I keep playing and I'll go hopefully win more.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: I love that. Those are my questions. That's all you have,
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: That's all I have.
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: I'm sewing the pinky toe back on just to be
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: you're sing the pink yeah not not not the other deal.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know how familiar with Bustle Boys, but we
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: have segments, and a segment is called shout out, no
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: free shout out, and usually it's just like the simple
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: pleasures in life, like uh, you know, someone brought up
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: a good one the other day. It was like at
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: school and it's the cold water fountain, right, that's a
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: shout out, no free shout. But we're gonna a little
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: more specific because we are training camp, so I want
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: to hear shout out no free shout outs to like
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: little pleasures of training camp. We can go first, break
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: the ice.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: But I wanted you to thought about it today. Did
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: you really sorry if this? And this is so on
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: the nose for busting with the boys, but like the downtime,
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: the in between meetings, like coaches are watching film, we're
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: down where you either eating lunch or we're just doing nothing,
• 46:56
  Speaker 6: just hanging like with the boys. And I know it's
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: like so on the nose, but like today, earlier we
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: had it. You know, a half hour to kill in
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: the quarterback room, just kind of hanging talking, chat and
• 47:05
  Speaker 6: doing nothing, and that those are the best times.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: I think camaraderie can't beat camaraderie.
• 47:09
  Speaker 6: Can't beat it, and this is when it's built. And
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: I do think Dan is aware of that and knows
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: we have downtime and hopes we're building that camaraderie.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: I love it.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, when you get a surprise uh practice
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: off the entire team, like you do, you do the
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: morning practice and they cancel walks through in the afternoon.
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: We have yet to have that.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: And I'm not just started.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: You guys just started.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Oh You've yet to have.
• 47:29
  Speaker 6: It since since I've been a Lion.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: So I don't think that's in the cards for us.
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: But just know that players love players do love it
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: when you practice in the morning and then they cancel
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: walks through in the afternoon. Just for anybody Coach Campbell listening.
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a hell of a one. I have two,
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: and I hate to be an attention horror.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: One is.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: One is rookie antics in the sense that like you
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: get into the dog days a camp and then in
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: the morning you and a veteran kind of hit a
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: rookie with hey, I heard today's movie day, I can't
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: just go to be canceled. And then you kind of
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: just plant that seed and then slowly but surely, during
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: like wall the team meetings taking place before practice, there
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: becomes like a hey you here, someone will come to
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: if you hear them. I have a movie today, and
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: just watching that rumor spread knowing good and well that's
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: not gonna happen, but kind of just ruined the teams
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: entire practice. That is fun and.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed like ruining stuff this morning.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: You were a fun joke. It's a fun joke.
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: You were start a fight on purpose, try to get
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: practice canceled.
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: No joint practice personally joint practice. There's been a couple
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: of you kind of a couple of pushing shoves and
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: you're just hoping that things get so out of hand
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: that they're like, we're done. We're guys in the weight room.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: Get a pump and you're like, yeah, that's really gonna
• 48:38
