  Speaker 1: Welcome to Off the Edge with Me, your host, Cam
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Jordan can't wait to talk about everything else that did
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: not pertain to the Saints losing, but I'll talk about
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that too, So that's what we'll probably start off. I'm
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: also going to bring in, you know, just the reaction
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to Dre Greenlaw's ejection in the forty nine er Eagles game.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Who's right, Who's wrong? Stick with me, we'll talk about it,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and then I'm gonna bring in one of my teammates,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: one of my one of my friends, my guys on
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the squad, you know, man with three interceptions, a man
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: who just got the Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Tyron Matthews. So stick with me on Off the Edge
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with Me, your host, Let's get into it. Start this
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: off right and proper. We're gonna say the Saints star
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: officially on the streak on the losing side, and that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: does not feel great. Hate it. We have now lost
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: our third game in a row and to the Detroit Lions,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: which I think are a really good team led by
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, who was Formula Norlan Saints Aaron Glenn on
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator side, who's with the ner Lean Saints.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, you lose to Detroit by a touchdown,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and honestly, the Saints have been digging themselves in a
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: hole at the beginning of the game for the last
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: few games. You can clearly see a noticeable change in
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: how we lose games when we start off trailing and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: not by trailing by one touchdown or you know, it's
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: multiple scores. Man, that's you know, just the tailor tape
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is when you have a horrendous first quarter, you dig
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: yourself too deep in a hole. It's hard to fight out,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and the team has a lot of fight. The team
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: has a lot of hard the team has a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: of get back. You can see in the tail of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: tapes when you turn on the second half and the
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: defense is as downing the second half doesn't mean like
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if you don't come out hot and play complete sixty minutes,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: clearly beatable. And that's where we are. So we have
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to find our way to correct this first quarter. We
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: correct the first quarter. We start off hot, you know,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we go to the halftime up. I don't see us
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: losing to anybody minus the one time we lost our
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the third quarter and Derek Carr and James
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: took over and we lost to Green Bay Packers. You know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: when we take an early on lead, a commanding lead,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and we don't look back, that's how you end up
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with the game like we played against the Patriots thirty
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: five zero. That's what I'd like to see for the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: remaining five games. I'd like to see us starting hot, fast, quick,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and never look back. Let's get there. And also, you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: this game, I think I got relegated to a whole
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: seventeen or eighteen snap seventeen, I'd like to say seventeen,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: which i'd say is new. But also, you know, we
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: at that again. I'm not sure what liberty is. I'm
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'm at liberty to divulge and the information about an injury.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: But I had an injury that I was dealing with,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and made it to the point where I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got to work out day before the game and everything
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: was good. And you know, we've got to practice the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Saturday to play Sunday, and so whatever role that was given,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I'm willing to accept and do to the fullest of
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: my abilities. And so as I get healthier, I assume
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna rapidly just be healed, I'll be delivered. So
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go get it, you know again, five games left.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We've got in division opponent coming to us this week
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and the Caroline of Panthers, so we have to be
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: able to get after Bryce Young, make them uncomfortable in
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the pocket. You know, we have to be the difference
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: The D line has to be the difference maker. Being
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: able to shut down the run and get after Bryce
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Young just is what it needs to happen. Has to happen,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: so we don't have this conversation next week. Even though
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: we lost this game, there's a lot of wins on
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the field just from guys being able to play, Guys
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: like Zach Bond getting the sack also as well as
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, just guys in general supporting their foundation, bringing
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: awarenesses to their causes. Because this week was a My Cleats,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: My Cause week where guys get to do just that,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: wear cleats that are customized to bring awareness to their cause.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Some guys had, you know, a teammate of mine had
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: awareness Theroy cancer. My guy, Tyed Matthews, you know, represented
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: his his foundation and he'll tell us about that when
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he comes in and with the interview, bringing in our
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: next topic being the you know situation of the forty
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: nine Ers Eagles games. I'm irritated with the family after
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the game, you know, trying to take my trying to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: take my cool, decompressed from football, and I turned on football.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if that makes sense or not, but
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: we're watching the forty nine Ers Eagles game and you
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: see Dre Greenlaw getting kicked out of a game for
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a tackle that led to a sideline where the Eagles
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: thought he gave a little bit extra sauce, and you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: little scuffle ensues. I'm not gonna to fight a little
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: scuffle of pushing contests ensues between the players, you know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: the players, and of course somebody who was not a
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: player had nothing really to do with the blood, sweat
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and tears being out in the game. But I'm sure
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he was all bought in. You know, he's clearly a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: man was you know, I've seen t shirts, sweatshirts, whatever
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it is, Twitter posts, Instagram post about you don't mess
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: with whatever. His name is, the older gentleman that's been
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: a security personnel. We've got a security guy on our
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: team and I've never seen him. You know, my guy
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Danny Lawless would never I don't think I'm gonna say
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that now, but like, if it ever happens, I'm gonna
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: stick up for Danny anyways. But the Philadelphia Eagles security
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: personnel got into the fray. You're sixty, bro relaxed, like
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you got brittle bones. Maybe you're not sixty fifty forty five,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, but maybe just let the players play and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the players handle it, and you stay your lane. By
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the way, he did not say in his lane, and
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Dre greenlaw felt like he was a threat and addressed him,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: gave him a little he mind joe business, and somehow
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gets thrown out of the game for I'm still not
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: clear on why he got thrown out of the game.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And then you know, the Philadelphia Eagle security guy got
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: got kicked out the game as well. But I think
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: for the Philadelphia there was probably a phenomenal trade. You know.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: My boy from from Philly was in town and was like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: was like, man, that's not a bad trade off a
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: security personnel for one of their top defensive players. We'll
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: take it every time. So it just is what it is.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I don't feeling the type of way about it other
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: than stay in your lane. Let the players handle it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: just is what it is. Appreciate you coming off for
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: my podcast Off the Edge with your boy, and you know,

  Speaker 1: Saint Jude's Children's Hospital just because I love the phenomenal
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: work that they do. I went to go to Memphis
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: this offseason. I was like, bro, I was like, I

• 8:24
  Speaker 2: like eight nine years ago.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: And uh, you know, the real.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Inspiration for me was was always my grandmother, you know
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: what I mean, because you know, in my mind, in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: my eyes, really man like, she was like the first
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: person that I saw that like was always like in
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: a service mode, you know what I mean, like just
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: willing to help people, like and my grandmother didn't have
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: much but you know, whatever she did have, you know
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: what I mean, she was willing to share. And when
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: when I got drafted to Arizona, man, like, it was
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: a good It was a good situation for me because
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: I was around a good I was around a good
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: group before ball players, like guys that's probably going to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. But those dudes was like off
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the field too, you know what I mean, Like, uh,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you know Kalais Campbell and you know Larry Fitzgerald, Patrick Peterson,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I think fits and Kalaire is like one man in
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: the year, you know what I mean. So like, uh,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: those guys are like heavy in the community. Like for
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: me as a rookie, you know what I mean, So
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I soak up a lot of that game. And uh,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: you know I always told myself like, man, once I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: get to like my second contract, like once I'm straight
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: and secure, you know, I do much more you know,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: in the community. So it's kind of worked out like
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: that for me. But this year, man, Uh, I chose
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to represent Every year, I chose to represent my foundation. Uh,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: but this year was a little different because, uh, you know,
• 9:47

• 9:58
  Speaker 2: black young black kids DS who uh may needed like
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: a father figure, you know, maybe they need a mentor,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you know, a role model to look up to. So,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: uh you know that that was kind of personal for me.
• 10:09

  Speaker 3: Uh you know that they've been a big blessing too.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah man, Son of a saying that that's the last
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: time I normally since I've been in New Orleans, I
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: take one of these young bucks under my wing while
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: they're in high school, you know what I'm saying, like
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: at a mentee program, and once they get off the college,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I sent them on their way. Last last kid I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: saw it was you know, mentoring, Uh Trey Hand his
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: dad was norm Hand played for the Saints back in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the gap. Whatever got him from son of a Saint,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Trey Hand never left Bro. He just like inserted himself
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to the family boy in college, University of Arkansas, Monticello, Monticello,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. I'm still talking to him almost weekly.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, man, are you supposed to s graduates
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: a fly already? Bro? I should have a new mintee already.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He's like, Nah, Bro, I family, you know what I'm saying.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: But that's just that part of New Orleans, Bro is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: just the community feel is always there, you know, the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: family feel. I try and tell people like when they
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: come here and aren't from here or don't know nothing
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: about New Orleans, I was like, if anything, the strongest
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: part of that about this fan base is it feels
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: like a real family. Like they when you hurting, they hurting.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You know. They tell you straight up on the streets like, hey,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: when we win, you know, when we win, it's good
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: in the city. And when the Saints lose, crime goes up.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Speaking of being look, why do we call you five? You?
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: You was like seven. The l s U when it
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: was a prime number was thirty two in Arizona, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: in Houston. Ken's city for show was thirty two. Hey
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you for show thirty two?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Here?
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Where'll five come from?
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: And why?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Like so so five? So so five? I don't think
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I've ever really told this story. So five actually comes from?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Uh it has. It has a lot to do with
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: my grandmother. So most if you ask any most people
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: and you ask me, hey, what time is from, most
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: people will probably say the seven Ward War, and they're
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: right right, because there's like the catch, you know, like
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: like my first couple of years on Earth, I lived
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: twenty nine thirty Orleans Avenue, which is the Fifth Ward.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Now the people that know me, they know that.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of like where a five come from,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you know, because I'm like a seventh Ward dude. But
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: everybody know, like, man, he might really be from the
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Fifth Wark. That's where's grandma. That's where his grandma lived.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: That's where people say, okay.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where the five thrown from. And that's actually
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: where my jersey number come from plus two, so you
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: know the plus too, and so uh yeah, man, that's like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: uh what is that like a history lesson?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Man? Man?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: And here and here I'm like, yeah, that boy really
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: from the seventh line and say, you know, right, defense dinner,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you take us out to the seventh ward. You know,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you take the whole defense to the seventh ward. I'm like, man,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: he's just showing love to his people's from the fifth ward.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm in the locker room. Like, I'm like, T.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You don't be answer to T. I'm like, five, turn
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: right around. That's crazy. I mean we we talked about
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the locker room too. But he was like earlier this season, Bro,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: you had one interception and he was like, man, I
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: was like, I gotta turn, I gotta pick up my pants.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: But like, I ain't never not let the team interceptions.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Then you then you had that two piece and like
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you like you're right on time now, Like where did
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that come from? And what you see for the rest
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: of these last five games? Five?
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: To be honest, bro, Man, I just see uh and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: not just me, Bro, but I see all us like, uh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: like just doing whatever it.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Take to win, Bro.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And I mean you know how it is on the
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: defense side of the ball, Like you know, the more
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the more you can take the ball away, bro. And uh,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you know, especially like in you know, late November December,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: you know, going into the playoffs, like you want to
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: you want to be able to you know, take the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: ball away and kind of help that, you know, help
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: you build momentum, bro, and confidence. So I think defensively, bro,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Like that's like the model for I mean even you
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: like if somebody asked, Hey, do you want to just
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: sack the quarterback or do you want to sack and
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: take the ball from him? I want the whole I
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: want the hat trick, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: the fumble animal recovery.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: You know I need it?
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Bro?
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So uh man, just I just see all of us
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: managers just just playing way more uh you know, aggressive,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: you know, hungrier, you know, just trying to do whatever
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: it takes.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Right, You're right. See See that's like when you have
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: that two interception game. They were like, oh, it's vintage
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Tyre Matthews. I was like vintage by eating what vintage?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Sound like? He Oh, what's what's up with this vintage part?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: You know how I get, Bro? When you get over thirdy, Bro,
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Tell me about the leadership in the dB room because
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you know me, you know what I'm saying, Like, w's loud,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I'm overly loud and active in the team. And then
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you bring up your leadership, you know, to to the
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to the dbs, which I've always said DB's and every
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: every team ever just I swear they don't like each other.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Like in my mind, like D line, You're always gonna
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: be like the closest knit, right d Lin. Any team
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: I've ever been on, the D line hangs out together, right,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: we hang out every Thursday, win, lose a draw. You
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: know if the even if the defense don't hang out,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the defensive line is gonna hang out.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Well, you know how it is on the back game, Bro,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: always on an island.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but too Bro, A lot of us we're supposed
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: to play like offense. We just we just weren't good enough.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if you you know, I don't
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: know if you got a look that d but you know,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and you know what I mean, we think it's all us.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You know, uh that that prime time syndrome, you know
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: what I mean? Like, uh, but nah, Bro, I think
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: I think we got a good dB room. You know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: we got some dudes that could that could really play.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: You know, I think for me, Bro, uh, you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: every day knowing like I got like a young dB room.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: It's just being consistent, like showing those dudes with a
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: consistent pro look like you know, and meetings, you know,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: obviously on the field. Just just trying to take care
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of my business the right way, knowing that even if
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: those dudes are not necessarily asking me for advice, a
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: lot of them are watching me, right. So I mean
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that's how some people learn too. They don't necessarily communicate
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: with you. They they can watch what you do and
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: watch how you act, and you know what I mean,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: like it could kind of shape their perspective or you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: like that direction. So I just try to be like
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: a like a sound person from bro, like a sound
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: on my mind.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Uh. I try. I try to tell them the truth,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean all the time.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Keep shoot shooting buck at all times for sure. But Bro,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you do you do it as such like a calm demeanor. Bro,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Like you so level in the room. Like I'd be like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I'm like, Bro, I don't know how to shake because
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: you know me, I'll be out there shaking the room up.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm coming now. This is what we're doing,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: this is how we're doing it, this is what we're
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: going to do. This is where we're going. Like, and
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: it's a response. You be like, man, that ain't right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: The boys just be like he's saying that you mean.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: This, Yeah for sure, Bro?
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And you know, like I said, I think a lot
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: of that got to do with like you know, each
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: and every day that they're gonna get the same time,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Like, so they could come on.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: That consistency, which is crazy, bro, because like when you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: came in to leave, Bro, you had vets, like you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Pat p was your dog from L s U. You know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: over over at the Cardinals. But you know, I feel
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: like you could relate so much more to these guys
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: because you know, like, yeah, I was the first round
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of you were you know you you were coming from
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: L s U. You were that guy. And then you
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: face some adversity over L s U. You know what
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, You had obstions to overcome. They try to
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: hit you with that like troubled the troubled youth syndrome
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: or something. So you fell a couple of rounds into
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the draft, right, But Bro, your your story about you
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: being consistent, just like elevating your play every year. Like
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: I feel like some of these guys don't really know
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: what you've done and what you've accomplished. Bro. So like
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. Bro, you got to tell him
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: like I like, I'm like, I tell him, used to
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: be so even consistent? Bro, It's crazy, man.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I just I mean, like I said, Bro, I don't
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: really you know, I don't try to be nothing special,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know I definitely don't try to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: uh force anything, you know, body, you know what I mean? So,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: uh man, some dudes come around earlier, right like you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: you may you know, we may sign a dude with tomorrow,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: right and he may gravitate towards me and ask me like,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you know, man, how you did it?
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Right? Like like how you how you stuck around so long?
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And and then you know, other guys, it may take
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: them a while, you know what I mean, to come
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: around and.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: You know, ask like those real questions I speak.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: About guys like we just signed a cat, like was
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: that we could go sharm two weeks ago? Just like
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I always I've always talked about it on this podcast
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: or whatever, like it just brings me back to you
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of course, like that business side of football, even like
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: even though you play for the home team now, Like
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: I remember, we copped you, you know, we copt you
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: off free agency? What does that free agency feel like?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what does what does
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that feel like in terms of being at a team,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: And like when you came to us from from Kansas City, Like, Bro,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: you they didn't even offer you, Like did that add
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a chip on your shoulder? Like how did it make
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you feel? How are you like, you know, how did
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: that change your mindset? And if it did at all?
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Man? To be honest, Bro, I think for some dudes,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: freategency is right, Like I mean, it's probably like one
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: of the best moments of their life.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know a lot of them going to you know,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: sign you know pretty good you know contracts, you know
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: And I think for other players it's different.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: You know, for me for example, right, and I mean
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: we was kind of talking about it earlier right in
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: the show, I've always felt, uh a responsibility to like
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the communities I played in, and so you know, most
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: players don't do it right, Like most guys aren't invested
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: outside of the defensive meeting.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, going home and like like
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: nothing else exists. You know, all these all these schools
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: out here, all these people that you could like touch effect,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: be around, learn your community, do all this like anyways around.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: But you know, uh, not for me, like it was
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: tough because like I didn't know I was going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the Saints. I didn't know, like I didn't know the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: situation that was like waiting for me.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Right. So you know when you when you like have.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Those type of you know, uh moments like where man,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: you're like, damn, You're like, bro, I just sacrificed three
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: yearss like I gave everything I could, you know, to
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: whatever organization, right and so and then it's time for
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: you to move on, right. And for some players it's
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: easy to move on, you know what I mean, Like
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: they don't really care.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And I think for other players, which is a.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Small percentage, like like they wear that, you know what
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I mean. And so, uh, but the blessing in my
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: situation was, you know, even though it took me a while,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: you know, to kind of get over you know what
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, Damn, I ain't about to be a chief
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: no more. And you know I got kids that you know,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: like love the chiefs and you know, and you know,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: I got a family, like you know what I mean,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: like like this this is our home, right and you.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: Know, now you got to pick up and move.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So it's a lot of those type of you know,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: conversations and you know issues you gotta kind of iron out.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: But but the blessing for me was, man like, you know,
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: like I got a chance to come back home.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: You know, I got a chance to come back to
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: the crib.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: So you know, as bad as it kind of stun
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: for me, like damn, you know, I ain't gonna be
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: a part of that no more, but you know, you
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: never know that what God got waiting on you.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So to the crew we go.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: That was a blessing for me, bro. But but some dudes,
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: man like they don't have that, you know.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You know, we signed you and then I was like
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: all right, cool, and then you didn't show up to the
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: training camp and I was like, hey, what what the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: hell did happened? They're like and he was like yeah,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: he said, he's having some some family. She's like you
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: just had to get your mind right from that. Like
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: I never asked, and I've always wondered, like like, man,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, man, he come home. He got to
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: make sure you got to make sure everybody, everybody knows
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: he here for biddiness is not pleasure, right.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And the man that was that was important for me, bro,
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: you know, and you know I think I had You know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I've been in the league long enough.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: You know I've done a lot of good things, right, and.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I felt like I had kind of earned
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: that grace right to be able to take that time
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: right because you see dudes that don't take the time right.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: And after a while, you like, Dawn, what happened to him?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Like like why why? Why is it like that with him?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And it could be you know, him getting in trouble.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: It could be it could be a bunch of different things,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. And so for me, man,
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: you you you try to avoid that because you know
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: when you when you lock in on the football season
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: like that that's important, you know what I'm saying, Like
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: like that's what's putting food on the table, Like that's
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: what's allowing your kids to travel the world. And right,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: so like you won't be all in right, like you
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: don't want half of your mind to be on football
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: and then the other half you worrying about all these
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: different things that that's kind of going on outside of it.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: So, but yeah, bro, like like that's what happened.

  Speaker 3: Know, like.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: So for me, bro, man, it's just a full circle
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: moment because it's like damn right, like all of because
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: because a lot of times, Bro, like early on in
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: my career.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Right, like when I was quote unquote.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: A different person, you know, was always the same person, right,
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I was just a eighteen nineteen year old who you
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: know got in trouble, yeah.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Right, and they just hit you with that troubled youth.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: And he said, like he know he's trouble, Come on, right,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: one incident doesn't make you trouble, right.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: But you know, early on in the league, bro, like you,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: especially me, I missed out on what I feel like
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: it is a lot of fun because I was so
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: focused on the game right, like I wanted to have
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: a successful career. So man, I ain't start going on
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: vacations to like my fourth year in the league, you.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying, Like in all season none none,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: bro like.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And but but that was like the level of sacrifice
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: like that I that I had, right and so.
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: But you don't feel that when you're doing it right.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: You're like, damn, all my teammates going up there in
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the Bahamans date they this way like they having.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: A ball, and here you is just so focused on
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: not messing it up.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: And so you know, it was some moments early on
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: in my career where I'm like, damn, bro, like, it
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: don't even feel like I'm in the league because you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: I'm so serious right, like, like I'm just trying to
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: do the right thing. So so it's good to look
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: back on that, bro and be like, damn, you made
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the right decision, like you was doing.
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: The right things like, right, like all that paid off?
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: So what was what was that transition though? Like, was
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: that was that you adding on like meditating? Was that
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: you like, you know, guys, guys in locker room, we
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: have doctor doctor Chambliss or whatever, you know, a therapy
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: coach and like, and I always say that because I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: know there's a stigma around athletes or even black men
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: in general, you know, not wanting to go to therapy.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, bro, like go talk it out. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: try to tell you know, my young books. Now, I'm like, hey, man,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: talk to somebody sooner rather than later. Like I didn't
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: even think about talking to a therapist or having therapy
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: sessions or even somebody who can bounce ideas off until
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: I was like eight years in. Hey you you try

  Speaker 1: I won't see you every week, but I see you sometimes.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: Right right man. I loved therapy.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Actually we was just talking about it, you know last
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: last year for training camp. Yeah, I think I missed
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: like six practices, like three of those days. I was
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: like like in uh it was like a wellness therapy,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: uh you know center right, So like I'm always down
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: for that. Like I still I still got my therapist,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: you know that I talked to.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: What the hell is a wellness therapy therapy shit? Like
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: like it's like a resort. Like man, it's like, uh
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: is a car wash for the mind?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, bro, basically, but it's like different things Like obviously
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: you know any therapist session, right, people most people think
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: of therapy and they thinking like, oh man, I got
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: to sit in front of somebody and telling my whole
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: life story.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And people and they're trying to find the roots all
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: my problems, like don't solve me.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: You know, a lot of people don't like doing that.
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Uh. I don't really like doing it, but I know
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: when I have to do it, it's kind of cool
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to release that. But the place I went to, man,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: it's like, man, you go for walks on the lake,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: you know you Uh, they got like horse therapy, you
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like it's just you and a
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: horse and you, you know, rubbing the horse.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, bro, But it's like it's therapeutic.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Right, you and you and you and you and your
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: zen you know.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: So yeah bro.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: But but but my transition, bro, was it was serious bro,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: because obviously you you do the therapy, you know part
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: of it. But you know I had started really getting
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: into like yoga, you know what I'm saying, and like
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: meditation right, and you know a lot of people that
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I work with now.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Is on them.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I credit them too, man, because I had like a
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: good kind of supports, Like I said.
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: B I had Larry and Less and Pat. So it's
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: like I had I had all their resources.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I love it, bro, Like like I said, I just
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: like I like to talk about just you know that
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: mental health and well wellness too, because in this game, bro,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: we give so much to it. Like you give and
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: give and give and give and realize you depleted without
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: knowing that you depleted. Like why am I edgy? Why
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: am I irritable? Why am I? You know, my body hurts,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: my mind hurts, and everything, Like you know, my family
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: still wants to to and lay down. You're like, bro,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: don't touch me. Why you know what I'm saying, like
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: or you know, all all I do is is deal
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: with football and then I'm out in public, I'm dealing
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: with fans. So you know, you don't even really know
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: your real self. So sometimes it's cool to just decompress
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: and figure out who you are, and sometimes you need
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: other people to help you with that, you know, again
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: just to bounce ideas off. So I just I just
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: love trying to break that stigma of like we don't
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: need to talk to people, you know what I'm saying, Like,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: as human beings, we're social people.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: And that's supposed to community.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to communicate.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: My wife is definitely gonna use that against me in
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: this episode. She was like, so we're supposed to communicate,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just not I'm like, I do just what you want
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: all my interfeelings come on, relax, take it easy, right,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: but uh all right, let's let's get off that heavy
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and get into something light. You know, coming from coming
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: from New Orleans. I want to know what your uh
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: what your favorite restaurant is out here?
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: My favorite restaurant, bro?
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't even think it's a restaurant.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: What you mean?
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, because you know, someplace to sell food.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: But it's like should they be selling food?
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Should they be selling food?
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: But the food decent though, you know, Like so it's
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: like you know, but nah, bro, So they got a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: store called the Red Rooster, And like I said, I
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: don't think it's.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: A like the like the hot sauce.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but so, but the catch is it's like Ronald
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Corning from the Magnoian, so.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: You know. But they got the best hot sized sandwich
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: in the world.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Brome, come anywhere to New Orleans and everybody pushing hot
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: sausage didn't hit right from me. It didn't hit right
• 31:42

• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Bro, I love them. I love hot saage.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: I think I love them too, Bro, because I don't
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: eat them as much now since I've been back home, right,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: because you can get them whatever.
• 31:57

  Speaker 3: that I was on in Kansas City. We had I
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: couldn't wait to get out, you know.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: I say, Hey, you know of from Arizona. So that's
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: what I said. That hot sausage was not on the platelet.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: You can get torreso anyway. Bro, I'm gonna get you
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: out of there. I was trying to keep it at thirty,

• 32:59
  Speaker 1: before gay games will get you hype during games, the
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: music you lead up to. I wake up and I
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I may start off with some some classical Mozart,
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: some Symphony number nine.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: I sometimes I wake up I'm way too amped up,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and then I have to calm myself back down. You know,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I may put on little IY brothers. I may, you know.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: I sometimes I wake up and I'm a little sleepy.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: I wake up, I'm like dad, do something, and I
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: throw all some E forty or I throw some depth
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: of Dude, or I put on the Kendrick Lamar, you know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: or or I slap some some what you mean, huh?
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I gotta throw some juvenile on or
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: some little way.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: It just depends on the day, and as a day progresses,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: as you get close to the game, you just keep
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on slowly amping up that energy. But either way, you
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: listen to a lot of I listened to a lot
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: of music before the game, you know, leading up to it,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: and I may not listen to any music, you know,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: for thirty minutes or so while I'm in the locker
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: room because I'm getting my thoughts sorted out, I'm looking
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: over notes for real quick. I got my headphones on,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: but nothing's probably playing, so I'm looking like like I'm
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: looking like I can't be bothered because I'd rather not
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: be bothered. I'm focusing in. I'm I'm getting locked into
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the game. But that being said, right before the game,
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: I'm always throwing on some like diabolical madness, you know,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: some some method man, some eminem you know, I'll throw
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: it in some events sevenfold. You know, it'll be some.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: It'll be some like hardcore Metallica, like just some some
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: some some stuff you know what I'm saying before you
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: go to battle, but that just brings me to it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like everybody has different music platforms.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I was trying to support, you know, Tied. I'm sure
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: there's Apple out there, Spotify, so many, so many different
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: music music platforms to get your music from. And I'm
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: just sort of looking at it. What are you know,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: my top five artists that I think I listened to,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna say this season. I'm not even
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: gonna go the year because then, like I'm not even
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: trying to put that that that spectrum out there, but
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'd probably say it's it's Rod Wave, It's j balv,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: method Man, litl Wave's coming bike, you know, uh, and
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: then the states to throw up right, it's it's probably
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: between Young Dolph for future. Maybe the edge goes to
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar. I don't know, but like, you know, somewhere
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: in there. So I'm gonna say Jay Balvean method Man,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Young Dolph, Rod Wave in future. I'd be interested, you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: to figure out what am I missing with my my
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: top five top five you know artists. Maybe I'm missing
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: something else. I feel like I listened to a lot
