• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Like I'm in Buffalo, it's knowing I don't have to
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: put too much thought into it, like you said. But
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: then Thanksgiving was last week. I may I put on
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: a couple of so you know what, they're black. You
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: can have it like this, That's what I'm saying. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe it's a little bit of that, or
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I mean a little bit. I don't have many clothes
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: was either because I know when I was coming to Buffalto,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I was like, just pack up a couple of boxes.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't need all these fancy colors like
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I'm going to I'm going to a blue collar time.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: We don't care about that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: You don't show off ready, but nothing nothing, you don't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: know who you are here?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: That too, and plus like I feel like they're all
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: black look good in the Supreme.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: All black looks good on everybody with me in Supreme.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: That's a good brand. Supreme is school brand.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, over the years, they've taken a little bit
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: of my chain. You know how I say, a Supreme
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: probably got you know, I probably got a VIP passed
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: by this by this time.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, Supreme, if you're listening, please sponsor.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Holler at me because I be Supreme from head to toe.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That was when I can, when I can.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: It's really good. Okay, let's get into week thirteen. The
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: defense did an incredible job of shutting down the Steelers
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: passing attack. You guys allowed just one hundred and eight
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: rushing yards. You normally allow one hundred and sixty three game,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: which is the best in the NFL. What was working
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: so well?
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Everybody's doing that job. I feel like, you know, we
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: came out hot. We came out hot, We were ready
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to play. We was on fire. Anytime you can start
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: the game, you know, with a three and out, start fast,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: like that's a great recipe to start your day cooking.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And you know you playing with you know, you're playing
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: in the green, Like you get the first three and
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: out after they take the ball, I mean they get
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the first possession, you get three and out, you get
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: your offense the ball. You know, to start the game.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You can't start the game no better way other than
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: getting getting a takeaway or just going to touchdown. But
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: the three and out I feel like, you know, we
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: played team defense the whole night, especially in the second half.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Just you know, we talk about this every week. Man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: They like stopping the run and making the offense one dimensional.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And whenever you can do that, your pass versus can
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: get up to the quarterback mistakes happening. So we was
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: able to you know, first of all, on first second
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: down negative plays or limit the plays to second and
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: long where they are in the red, you know, where
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: officers don't want to be, and they got to drop
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: back and try to pass the ball to get back
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: on track. And we did a great job of doing
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that all night, putting them in areas that they want
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: to be and we were great on third down too
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: great on third down, so you know, all those of
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: recipes for a great day, you know, and then getting
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: our offense the ball back, that's even better. So I
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: just think that we just honed in on our fundamentals.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: We played up to our potential and we you know
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: how this week is. We talk about it every week.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: This week to week, no game is bigger than the next,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: but the next game is the most important. And I
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: think that we had a great mindset throughout the whole
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: week and we just went out and executed the game plan.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You know, had a great game. Christian Banford had a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: great game. He has a fumble recovery for a touchdowns
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and then on the next possession he has an interception
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that rarely happens in a game. He was a technician
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: out there. Why was he seeing the field so well?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Sometimes the ball just find you, man, like you're in
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a great uh, you're in a great situation, or you're
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in a great spot or are you just executing you
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: and sig'nm in the ball find Let's talk about Joey
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Bosa forcing forcing the fumble, but it was a dirt nap.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: What's a dirt n app for? Those who don't know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: For those.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Who don't know, a dirt nap is, you know, you
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: just taking the opponent and just landing on them on
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the ground and when they get up, they got a
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: lot of dirt and they face masks and it's just
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: an uncomfortable feeling. It's an uncomfortable sighting, but it's good
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: for the good, for the for the good guys. But
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Joey like he took Aaron Rod just for a dirt
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: app and I like, you know, we've.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Been in the league a long time.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we played against each other a long time and
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: also with our achilles, we were happening together. So he
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: was able to develop a little relationship. But he a
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: third nap, No, Maddie, the ball came loose. CB was
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: able to not like the Ravens game, actually picked this
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: one up, scoop it and score. And did you see
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: his form? The running for him too? Though I had
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to talk about him. What was it? It was like
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: one of those run far as run mom is like
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: he put the head back. Anytime you see somebody running
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: with their head back, like you know they're trying to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: get it away. You know, you don't want nobody to
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: catch him, but right place, right time, executing his assignment.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Ball Man, this guy's a technician, though, let's just talk
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Like he does his homework.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: This dude take notes, take photos of the notes that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: he already have. I always asked him, why do you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: take a picture on your phone when you're taking your
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: notebook everywhere you go, You're taking it on the road,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: So why you need pictures on your phone if you
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: He don't say much. He just looked at me like, Okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I just know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: What that means. I'm going to give you the secret.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He should everything he should because I need it. This
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: guy is the best coin in the league, and you
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I need some of the sauts. I need some of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that sauce. But then the interception the very next play
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: or what two or three plays later. This guy's a baller.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: This guy's a baller, man. We talk about him like
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: we always talk about CB and just he's just he's
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: just just attention to detail the way that he approached
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the game and just how much he loved and compete
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and he enjoyed. But he don't say much. But like
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: besides those two splash plays, like, let's just talk about
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: the job he does. On the number one receivers every.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Week, which we now know that Christian Benford asks for
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: those assignments. Says Coach Babbage, put me in there. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: want to go up against k Metcalf. I want to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: do that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: He wants the smoke.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He wants to smoke.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But when you prepare the way he prepared, like you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: go into the battle and you have no stress because
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: you know you've did all your homework, You did all
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: your homework, you watched all the film, you took your notes,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Prepare your ass off in practice each and every week,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: taking every rep serious, getting out on the practice field
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: before the before every before you know it's time to
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: be out here doing your your dB drills, doing your
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: band work, doing your footwork. This guy's a technique we
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: talk about. This guy's a technician man like what I say,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: like a technician, and he just enjoyed the game. He
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: love to compete, not afraid to tackle. Mm. This guy's
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: physical too, so like when you don't combine all those ingredients,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: like of course he's gonna continue to have success on
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: the field, and we don't expect anything less of him
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: cause he he takes on the the toughest challenge each
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and every week opposing teams number one receiver, and we
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: don't hear much. So GB keep doing your thing, cause
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you know, I've I see it every day, I s I,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and I don't expect anything less because I know the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: way the work that he puts in and the film
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: study that he's watches and all the extra stuff that
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: he does too, So all ingred the ingredients for to
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: be a successful player, and he's going to continue to
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: do that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Trey, you were doing your thing out there too. Two
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: pass breakups against the Steelers. You were physical, you were
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: pushing the ball away. What is the art of a
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: successful past deflection?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: First of all, you got to put yourself in position.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: It's all about putting yourself in a position to make
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the play. But specifically on the first people you I
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: had third down situation. Got to get off the field obviously,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: obviously it's a passing down. What it's third and ten,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Third and eight is third and long. Oh, so we
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: know the balls going in there, so you know, defensive backs, cornerbacks,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: we know we're up, so you know, just book your
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: chin strap man, let's roll. But I just think you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it was one of those things where I didn't feel
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that I was in a dominant position to look back
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: to be able to find the ball.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: How tough is it to be able to look back
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: at the right time to time it and make sure
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you're not getting flagged.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: M that's always the the the the split second decision
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: or the spit split second like body language of the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: way of you moving, torquing your body to try to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: finesse it. Because we know how this league is. The
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: office is not getting the ball down the field. They
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: want to see why, so obviously somebody's holding a pass interference,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: were just not guarding people good. But it's it's a
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: little bit of trial and error being a guy that's
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: been in those positions before where a flag's been called
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: or a flag hasn't been called. But you just got
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: to be able to be poised and just be able
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: to just play through the receiver's hands, his mannerisms. Just
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: you know the ball is coming, even though like nobody's
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: telling you ball it's in the air. Like if you
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: a guy that's been playing in this league for a while,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: like you know when the ball is coming. And it
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was one of those situations where where I just had
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: a feeling that the ball was in the air and
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: saw the guy puts it, put his hands up, eyes
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: got a little big, and I would just I was
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: just poised. Just in those positions where you can't look back,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: you gotta be poised, and I just played through the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: receiver's hands and took him to the ground. And you know, deflection,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and that's just something you know that we practice, being
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: out of phase and getting back in phase and getting
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: to the position where you don't sort of interfere with
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: the receiver but still play, play physical, and play through
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: the ball. So those all the routine players that cornerbacks
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: go through each and every day. So whenever you're in
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: a position in a game when the bullet flying and
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: you're able to execute those techniques, that's what kind of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: separates the good ones. So I was able to get
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: a little lot down, Like, come on, that's your technique too.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: That's not all luck tray.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Coming now, come on. Yeah, now, years in the league,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: now that's a long time. Let's talk about it. Yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's a lot. I got a lot of
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: pass breakups in my career, I feel. But uh, but
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: like I said, it's just a thing of it's a
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: field thing, like I said, especially when you're in a
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: position where you can't look back for the ball and
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: make a play on it. You got to play through
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the receiver's hand because all the good ones, they know
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: they're trained to run into you, run back like they're
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: trying to catch the ball when they we know they're
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: not in the in the referees or training to throw it,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you know, because they feel like the receivers are trying
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: to make a play for the ball. But like I said,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: it's just being in those situations before in years and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: years and a lot of reps. Just being in that
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: situation but keeping my pout, which is the most important thing.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage said, you're playing some good football
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: right now and you need to keep it going. You've
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: been physical out there, Tray. What has led to that
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: at this point in.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: The Season's nah. I just think that you know, whenever
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you get into these ball games, you know, late November,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: early December, you know, intensity turns up playoffs football, every
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: every game, you know, summers on the line. But I
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: just think that we're in the groove right now as
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: a as a defense totals. But uh, anytime, you know,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: like I said, we can stop the run and make
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: these teams two dimensionals and you know, you know draw back,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they gotta drop back and pass the ball. Uh. It
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: makes it easier on on the secondary because we got
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: great pass rustus and these guys are getting to the quarterbacks,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: so it just forces the quarterbacks to make some ill
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Avis throws. And fortunately for us, we got some long
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: guys on our team, long arms. You know, quarterbacks don't
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: wanna throw around that, so we been able to get
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: off hands on a lot of footballs that here as
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: of late. Let's just keep this thing going, cause we
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: need to keep it going.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Let's keep it going.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Gotta go.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Speaking of keeping things going, it's Dong of the week time.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Who is your dog of the week trade? It's tough.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: This is a tough one cause on one hand, we
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: got a guy that made history and the Bills two
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: takeaways in two plays, not one, but two, two for two,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: a touchdown, an interception, and I think both his takeaways
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: led to points for us. But then on the on
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the flip side, we got a group so dogs with
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: a Z at the end, not a dog Z. We
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: got an old line that without two starters, we rushed
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: for over two hundred yards two forty nine. That cookie
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: is cooking right now.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He had thirty two rushing attempts and.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm bigger than him, and thirty two
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: times to go up and there to touch that ball.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Career high running from Cam Hayward, running from Cam Hayward,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: from TJ.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Watt, Cam Hayward. That's that's a big That's that's a
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: big human man Like, even though I'm not on the field,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: when the offense on the field, I can imagine how
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: James feel when Ca Cam Hayward is huge.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It was really cracks though. There are two big holes
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: that the offensive line opened up.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about it when I without two stars, like
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I said, But like I I've been in the league
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: for nine years and I haven't been watching NFL football
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: for a long time. But I don't think I ever
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: seen the Steelers give up like two hundred yards rushing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: And I'm not a defense, a good defense, since two
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: hundred yards a long time.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Our dogs of the week, we got the dogs of
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the week. Let's talk. We gotta give it to the
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: old line, man like, but last week I gave it
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: to another guy in my room. So I don't think
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: to two back to back.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I don't this week got it. Alec Anderson, who hasn't
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: played tackle since college, goes up against T. J. Watt
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: and does his thing. Ryan Vandermark filling in two, does.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: His left tackle though left tackle like.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Protecting your quarterbacks blind spot.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Come on, let's talk about it. Like starting against that
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: defense was kept clean. His jersey was like, it was
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: like what Dogs of the Week d A W g
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Z dogs the line. I gotta give it to the
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: old line. Those guys. Even in the past game I
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: don't think was Josh sacked.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: No, he wasn't sacked once. No man coming off of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: a game where he was hit a lot. I mean,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: you got to know the offensive line that whole week
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: was thinking we're not gonna let this happen again without
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: two starters. He wasn't sacked once against the Steelers, who
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: were top five in sacks.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Dogs of the Week O line, Like,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I got so much respect for those guys, like to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: be able to line it up each and every play
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: when these when these d linemen are just trying to
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: tee off, teeing off each and every play, and they're
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: rotating guys into mid drive and you gotta keep going
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to deal with the stress of Okay, in the run game,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: we gotta try to move Cam Hayward in the middle
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: like all time great and in the past game, we
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: got to try to stop TJ. Watt and Alis high
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Smith on the outside yep, to of the best in
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: the game. We got to try to stop these guys
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: from getting to our quarterback.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And the fact that TJ. Watt said they ran the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: same two plays over and over again and I've never
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: seen a team do that and us struggle to stop
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: that the whole game.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, like it was amazing to watch. Obviously being
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: on the sideline.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what was it like on the sidelines when you're
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: watching all that happen.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I think third quarter, I think our offense chewed up
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: like eight minutes or seven minutes on one drive.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Time of possession was forty two minutes to.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Eighteen the whole game. Yes see, that's that's great. That's great.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: First of all, that's just great time and clock management.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: By by the old line, I mean by the offense
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to offense. But you know when the t clock keeps running,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: that's because the old line is coming off over and
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: over and over and tired. Yes, key first downs, four
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: minute offense like dollars of the week, man, like it's hard.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I love CB. He had a historic day, but that
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: old line like the whole game, like just I got
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: so much respect for those guys man, so with without
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: any question, I gotta give those boys their credit. Like
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: you said, they kept Josh clean. We ran for over
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty yards, Like you don't understand how
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: impressive that is in the NFL game, Like it's so
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: hard to do it, don't so to to do it,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and do it on the road Weather Weather game where
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: we knew we're gonna have to we was gonna have
• 18:06

• 19:06
  Speaker 1: and Ryan Vandamark. We got Ryan Vandermark and Alec Anderson
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: joining us for this episode. Guys, thanks for being on,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Thanks for having us. You guys are some superstars.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't say all that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I think so. I think. So let's recap the epic
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: game against the Steelers. Left tackle Dion Dawkins and right
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: tackle Spencer Brown go down with injuries. You find out
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: you two are starting in their places. When you find
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: out this news, what did you say to each other?
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: Vandy told me he was like, we're just gonna go
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: have fun, and I was like, all right. And so
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: every time we were out there, but before every snap,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Vandy was looking at me across the huddle and had
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: this smile on his face and he was kind of
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: giggling each play.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: And so I was just excited to be out there
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: with my boy. Yeah, No, it made everything a lot better.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: It made everything a lot easier to go out there
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: and your pass block.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, thinking like you're gonna have some fun out there.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: You're stepping in for two great starters who you guys
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: get to learn a lot from. You're going up against
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the top five defensive line in the Steelers. Not an
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: easy task. What approach did you want to take once
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: the game started?
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Just kind of that smash mouth football kind of mentality,
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: you know, I mean, just Bill's traditional football. Run the ball,
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: put your hands on people, drive him down the field,
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: and just have fun with it. And I think Alec
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: and bodies at really well, especially stepping in.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: And I mean you can see the film. I mean,
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I think you did a great.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Job smash mouth football. Alec. You are playing right tackle
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: against the Steelers. You haven't played tackle since your college season,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: so no big deal. Go in there and block TJ. Watt,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL. You
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: don't just block him, you don't allow a sack, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: the rushing offense goes off for two hundred and forty
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: nine yards. What was your mindset through it all?
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: My mindset was pretty even throughout the whole thing. I
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: was trying to just the entire week, like Vandy said,
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: like we're really emphasizing this whole smash mouth football type deal.
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: But for myself, like my little internal battle, if you
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: call it, that was more of like trying to keep
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: everything simplified and very the same. Don't think too much
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: differently of you know, just because I'm at tackle, like
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: coach Krumer does a great job of keeping everything very
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: simple for us. And so if it's you know, the
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: same technique at left guard as it is at right tackle,
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: then you know, I can kind of transform and kind
• 21:36
  Speaker 5: of trans translate my play into each position as I did.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: You know this Sunday, you.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Go up against an incredible defensive lineman in TJ. Watt
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: against the Steelers more than one hundred sacks in his career,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: How did you make sure to stay level headed like
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: you said, throughout the matchup?
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: It was a really I got to credit the guys
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: who gave me a chip the entire game. The wide receivers,
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: the tight ends, and the running backs. All of them
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: did a phenomenal job to where I didn't really have
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: to worry about anything since they were doing a great
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: job just busting this guy in the ribs, and so
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: like going out there on the pass sets, I knew
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: that I could set as fast as I could and
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: only just had to worry about, you know, getting off
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: on time and changing his past past pass rush lane.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: And so they did a great job by helping me
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: really stay calm by just delivering and doing their job
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: every time they were asked.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: To do it.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: You guys ran two run plays quite a bit in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that game. You go to the huddle and you hear
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: duo again, duo again. We're doing duo again, Vandy. When
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you heard that call over and over and over again,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: what were your thoughts?
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Honestly, I just thought it was kind of comical, you know,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: just hearing the play over and over again.
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: I was like, all right, here we go. They know
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: what we're running, we know what we were running.
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: They know we're run the rock, and we're just gonna
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: go out there and run the same play and execute
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: it better than they can.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Watching this guy Alec Anderson go up against TJ. Watt
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: snap after snap, were you thinking to yourself what got
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: into this guy?
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Nah?
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, if you know at Lick in
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: the style that he plays, you know, he plays like
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: a dog, So I mean going out there and then
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: I would just see him come back to the to
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: the huddle each snap, and I know that he already
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: went out there and put his hands on somebody and
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: you know, put him in the dirt. So I means
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: he has a great repertoire. I don't even know if
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: that's the word. He has a great history of doing
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: that as the jumbo tight end. So getting his chance
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: to go out there and play tackle, which is honestly
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: pretty much similar to a jumbo tight end. I knew
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: he was up for the task, and I knew that
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: he would do.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Great alec in your preparation. What gave you the confidence
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: that it wasn't gonna be a big deal to do
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that for sixty minutes.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it helped out having Ryan and then also Spencer
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: as well helping me out through the entirety of the week.
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: And so Wednesday and Thursday we kind of all stayed
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: and watched the extra tape together and Vandy was giving
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: me some pointers on like oh, like I would kind
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: of recommend trying this or when they're here. I know
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: that this technique has kind of helped me when I've
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: when I've applied it, and Spencer as well in the
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: past game has helped me out a lot of just
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: kind of knowing your angles and using really kind of
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: some geometry out there at times to sit there and
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: be like, all right, this guy is on a about
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: a thirty two degree angle, like I'm gonna have to
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: take this set, and so kind of transforming that into okay,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: he's here, I'm gonna just set this way and know
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: where the quarterback spot is at. Like that was kind
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: of my progression throughout the week, and Vandy and Spencer
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: really helped me out.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Using mathematics to play football.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Huh, you wouldn't.
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't think so, right, But at some point a
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: little bit not too much hints of it.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: We heard after the game Vandy that James Cook texted
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the both of you before the game and said, Hey,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I trust you guys. I believe in you. Fandy, How
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: did that help you feel, righty?
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: I mean Jimmy's a great leader. I mean before my
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: first start last season against the Chiefs kind of did
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: the same thing. Came up to me in the locker room,
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: was like, hey, man, I believe in you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: I love you.
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: And God do great. And hearing that from Jimmy, I
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: mean it's awesome. You know, he's the best run back
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: in the league. So him coming up to me and
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: Ali and texting us and let us know that he
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: has our backs, I mean it means a lot.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Alec, I saw you got a big hug from Josh
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Allen after the game, after you guys solidified the victory.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: What was the best response you got after you guys
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: come off the field.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: I think the best response was just probably from Josh.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: And then also it was really like I guess the
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: mantra of everybody on the sideline was just after every drive,
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: whether in the beginning when we threw an interception or
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: we had to punt, and then once we started scoring
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: and getting a little bit more traction, the guys are
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: just always coming up to me or whether it was
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Vandy and just saying like good job, like you guys
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: got this, like just keep going, like keep grinding, you know,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: just very encouraging words on the sideline and a lot
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: of positive energy, which I think kind of helped us
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: feed into the success that we had.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you can definitely feel the juice coming off
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: the sideline after you drive.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was awesome. It was great.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: How much did your floone blow up after the game? Fandy?
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: I mean, I had a bunch of texts from friend's
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: family just saying that I see you out there, or
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: saying I played a great game, and you know it's
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: it's cool.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously from my parents, but it was pretty cool.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: We heard from offensive coordinator Joe Brady that pregame he
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: thought James Cook had a look in his eye that
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: said he's about to go off. Well, James Cook rushes
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: for one hundred and forty four yards, Alec, When you're
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: running duo, it's a lot on the running back to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: see the field. What is it about Cook's ability to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: see the field that is better than anything you've been around.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: He embodies the entire Muhammad Ali comment or quote perfectly.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: Float like a butterfly, sting. I could be that kid.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: He when he is getting the ball, he's flowing and
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: you know, we like to press the hole and kind
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: of bounce runs and stuff like that. And so he
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: does a great job of giving the offensive line and
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: a time to set up the block and kind of
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: get to our man. And then also he does a
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: great job of kind of guiding back to where he
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: feels something is open, and then once he sees a hole,
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: he's putting his foot down and running through it. And
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: I think that kind of showed with it. It was
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: the Tampa Bay game that dude ran through somebody's face,
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: and so it's just it's awesome to see. I love
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: when Jimbo gets out there and he just has a
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: handful of freaking smelling salts and it's just taking him
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: right before the snap and goes out there and just
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: runs downhill.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Every time, Vandy, we hear that James Cook's energy on
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the sidelines is incredible and it really helps out the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: entire team. When he comes off of the field after
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: hitting a huge run. What does it do for the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: group as a whole.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's contagious, that energy. I mean you can
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: feel it. It's it's awesome. I Mean, he comes off,
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: he's excited, you know, he's he's happy for the whole line,
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: and it's just awesome.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: It gets the boys going, gets the boys going. I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: love to hear that your success against the Steelers isn't
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: the only chapter to your story with the Buffalo Bills. Vandy,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: you and Alec, come in here as undrafted free agents
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: in your third and fourth seasons. Alec, I'll go to
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: your first. How have you grown the most since becoming
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: a Buffalo Bill.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: I've grown a lot.
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: I think that my maturity has grown since I've been here,
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: but also kind of my style of play as well.
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: I think that I've always had a physical kind of
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: caliber to my game of just wanting to go out
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: there and smash somebody, but also kind of diving deeper
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: into the x's and o's, and David Edwards and coach
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: Kromer and Austin Gunn do a great job with us.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: I'm kind of teaching us the grand scheme of things
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: rather than just like, all right, it's his own play
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: block zone, Dallshaw, not get my face cross like all
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: that stuff since you've been playing pee wee football, but
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: they kind of want to break you out of your
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: comfort zone and make sure that you're actually understanding the
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: offense and it's entire incontrances instead of just like going
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: out there and knowing, oh, I just ball every Sunday.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: When you look at your game, Vandy, what areas have
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: you leveled up in?
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: I would say kind of the same thing Alex said,
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: But like coach Chrome does an awesome job with technique.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: I mean you come here and right off the rip,
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I mean, the technique might be a little different from
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: something you've ever done before, but you come here, you
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: learn the technique, and then you go out there and
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: it's like surprising. You're like, oh, this works, and it
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: just kind of like Alex said before. You know, the
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: goals make everything simpler and easier for us five up there,
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: and it all works. I think my game has evolved,
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: I mean drastically since since college coming here, especially in
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: my past that's getting comfortable, learning a lot from Spencer
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: and Dion. I think that pretty grateful to be on
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: a team with two good tackles who actually care about
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: how their backups perform and how their backups handle themselves.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: So pretty lucky, Alex.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: You talk about maturing and growing here and how you
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: play smash mouth football. I think that's something that's stayed
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: consistent since you've been here. Is that smash mouth style
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: of football? Yes, where does that come from?
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: It just comes from wanting to be aggressive. Just I
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: don't know, it's just my life kind of how I
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: grew up. My dad was a big kind of combat
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: sports guy, and so his dad was in the military,
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: and we grew up with a big philosophy of like
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: either move or die, and so big thing is always
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: just good. You got to keep moving, You got to
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: move that guy in front of you. If not, they're
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: trying to get back there and mess things up and
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: really hurt your people that you're protecting. And so for me,
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: it's a game of like pride as well. I don't
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: want the people that we're protectors' offensive linement. And so
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: your job is to protect that guy. And if you
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: don't do your job, then it's like, you know, a
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: little bit of a stab at you as a man.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: So I kind of like to.
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: Hold that up.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: You guys are blocking for the best rushing offense in
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the NFL right now, averaging more than one hundred and
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: fifty yards per game. Vandy. What's been one of the
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: biggest factors behind the success?
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, coach Chrome one hundred percent.
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: I mean every Wednesday, were come into the building and
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: he's got the game land down and we go through
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: the runs and how we're going to scheme up this
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: this style of defense, and each week different inter constancies
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: like Alec was saying, but yeah, I mean just coming
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: into the building and seeing what's going to be different
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: in this week that we didn't do last week, Or
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: how are we going to move this guy out of
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: the box. How we're gonna put this guy in the box.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: And I mean, it's it's awesome to see because you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: it's very, very slight things can make a your dramastic
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: change in how you play the game.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: So you guys are more than just football players. You
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: are two goofy dudes, Vandy six seven, three hundred pounds
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: and you surf. Yeah, make it make sense.
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: I just got into it when I was young, tall
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: and skinny, So I mean I got into it when
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: I was like thirteen on the Jersey shore, and uh,
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: I mean I love it.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: It's stuck with me like ever since.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: I mean, I I found the shaper to shape me,
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: shape me some boards when I got over three hundred pounds.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: The biggest surf board.
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Those things can float me. They're more thick than long.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: But I mean, yeah, I go on. I try to
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: go on like at least two trips in the off season.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: So looking forward to it. I got my own little
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: surfing families that I kind of kind of joined with
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: and it's great. It's great vibe and I love it. It
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: gets re mind off things. It's therapeutic.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Would Alec Anderson ever join in on the surf family
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: got it?
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: I mean he's got He's from California, you know he's
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: got that. Yeah, he's got to get in on it.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: He will.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Have you ever boogey boarded or anything?
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: I've been surfing like twice, I got up on my
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: first try Athletes Yeah, no, I mean it was like
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: three seconds and then I jumped off. But other other
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: than that, I love body surfing a lot, and then
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: boogey boarding is fun as well, even though my wife
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: and I almost died in a Hawaii trying to go out.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: There and surf in the waves.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah it was.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: It's it's a good time. I enjoy the ocean a lot.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: Once you became an NFL player, Bandy, did surfing get harder?
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: I mean yeah, because you got to keep on the weight.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: I mean most surfers, you know, you're skinny and your
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: light and you can just flying on that wave. But yeah,
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: it definitely became harder too, because uh, I mean my
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: dad was like, you can't go out there and get hurt.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: I don't want your surfing is a reef break or
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: is it a sandburry like beach break?
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: So like usually with the reefs, you know, you gotta
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: gotta take a chill. You bounce off that reef, you
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: can seriously get hurt. So yeah, but yeah, it's definitely
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: got harder. I maybe had to think twice about going
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: down a wave that's a little a little bigger and uh,
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: and think twice about my body.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Alec, did you know that Fandy was a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: baby model back in the day.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Yes, you're a surfer. You're a model kid.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: You do.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: Shout out to my mom. I mean she slid early.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Early. Are you going to go back into modeling after
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: your NFL career?
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Oh yeah, he is, yeah, right right when football is over.
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: You know, cut this weight down so that yeah, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: we're going right, we're jumping right back where we left off.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: And Alec, are you going to turn into a professional
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: off roader after your NFL career? That's that's what you love.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: To do, right, Yeah, No, that's that's my wife and
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: I plan. We want to get a Mercedes sprinter van
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: and drive around the US and then take it slow
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: and end up on a ranch about ten to fifteen acres.
• 34:36

• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Ryan Vandermark. There was some big news in LSU college
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: football this week, and we got to talk about it
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: because Trey is an LSU brad. LSU hired Lane Kiffen,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: the former Ole Miss coach who led the Rebels to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: an eleven wins season this year, spent six years there
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: and overall in his college coaching career a pretty good
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: win percentage. What are your thoughts on this higher.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like we strug it. I feel like we
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: I feel like we knocked it out the park grand Slam.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: I just know just from watching football and uh, just
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: watching him be the offensive coordinator when I was playing again,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: when I was at l s U, and he was
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: at Alabama when he had Amari Cooper, when he had
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: some dogs, when he had let's get the name of
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Derick Henry bad players which you and he schemed them
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: open to get one in a year where we knew
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Amari Cooper was getting the ball, it didn't matter like
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: he was lining him up in the backfield, dying the
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: outside inshide and Mamari Cooper was the best player in
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: the in the in the in the in the nation
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: that year. I see what he did with it? Dojimore
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and old miss put him in the backfield outside it said,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: I I'm just I'm just excited to see what he do,
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: what he does with all the players he's gonna be
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: able to get.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: He's a good recruiter too.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, that just l s U like you. It's not
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: much you have to do to sell people to come.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: To the Death Valley.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: One, twelve hundred and ten, ten thousand. We're going to
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: stay there.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I've never been to a game, It's not it's a
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: bucket list, bucket list thing for me to go to
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: a to go to a night game at LSU.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: You've never been to a game there.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: No, I've never been to a game there. I've been
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: to Bama, I've been to Georgia, worked that Tennessee. So
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: you went to Missoo.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: What you're waiting on?
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Florida.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: What are you waiting on Auburn? Okay, what have you
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: heard about a night game.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I've just heard the environment is crazy. I've heard it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: hard to win there. As an oppos was in team
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: coming into Death Valley at night, I heard the fans,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: you're crazy, your dream's.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Gonna come to die. You heard coach Miles this back
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: in the day. Yeah, and it's true. It never rains
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: in Death Valley. We used to we we used to
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: bring the tiger out and sit him by the opposing
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: The real tiger might sit him by the opposing team's
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: locker room. So when they run out big.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: That's why you were playing there.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: They did it, they they I think they stopped doing it,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: maybe twenty fifteen, twenty fourteen, but I remember, like when
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I was getting recruited, like that was a big thing.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Like they used to parade Mike around like before the
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: game in this cage and they'll sit him there when
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: the opposing team come come out.
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: And that's scary, Like it's nothing even even a two
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: thirty game like kickoff and there, like it's just like
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: it's nothing like it like it's gonna be feeled.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: The crowd is gonna they're gonna say some some of
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: the most disrespectful stuff to the opposing team and coaches,
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: Like I've heard it all, Like you can just look
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: it up on YouTube, Like you could just look it
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: up like an LSU game at night daytime. It don't matter,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: like it's rocket the most turned. But back to I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: just feel like his offensive mind, like the way he
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: can move guys around and put him in position to
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: score points. And you're gonna get the best talent. So
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be you're gonna be able to just take
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: all these different pieces and orchestrate this offense that you
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: already have and just use your mind, your imagination to
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: use all these talented players to so much space on
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: the field, spread it out, running. Everything's gonna be at
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: his disposal. Then at LU, you're gonna get the defensive players.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get the cornerbacks. They want to come are
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: who said they? I don't know. I mean, you look
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: it up, you tell me the best, you line them
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: up cornerback for corner back.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I know when you were there it was DBU, but
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know how things have changed.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Look up the thought finding this in right now, we
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: got wound up there right now, it's gonna win the
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: thought this year. Okay, So you line any any university
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: up corner for corner for the last twenty years, let's
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: say twenty fifteen years. I'm taking us anybody college and
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: pro career. I believe it both.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Oh andthro that's good too.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And we're still doing it too though. That's the thing, Like,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: we still have guys doing it. So I just think
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: with the talent that he's going to get, the coaches
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: that he's going to have around them, and the people
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: that he have to help him recruit the players. I mean,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: in a recruited cycle, if we getting thirty players of
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty five players, twenty of them gonna be
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: from Louisiana, and then you're gonna get three or four
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: from Florida, two or three from Texas. Then you have.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: One over there and maybe one Alabama.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we don't really try to go in
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: their backyard and get their players. They try to come
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: and get off, you know. But I just think that
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: with an offensive mind like that, with the resources he's
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: going to have, like it's gonna be it's gonna be
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: so much success that I feel because when you have
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: a mind like this and you have the talent that
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: he's going to have and be able to move them
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: around in the n i L League of today where
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: you can just the great players, and he's he's at
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: l s U. He's gonna be able to pay whoever he.
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: Needs that donor money that.
• 40:37

  Speaker 2: and try to try to get those tub socks man,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: so I can get some of it, some of their
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: prime time juice. But the trainer, Nate, somebody, one of
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: his friends has a sock company, sent the big box
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: in so I was able to get some of those.

  Speaker 2: So I would say being that you know, HBO, they they,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: you know, put that out there by my socks on video.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: But it came with a lot of rewards too. The
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: people see my struggle, what I go through and camp
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: that in. Look a lot of socks. But I probably
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: need to get those prime time tools. So then look
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: you see this, Look I still want to I need
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: that package. I still need that package playoff time. I mean, look,
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: we getting into these games down down the wire. Now
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: if I'm looking like baby Deon out there, now, hey,
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: that could be good for the Bill. So he's now,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: I let you right now, right now, I need some
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: of those prime time tools. You know, the people is asking,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, I'm a showcase that you know.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, next question, West Michigan. Bill's backers bar wants to
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: know what's your favorite pregame snack?
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Hm hmm pre game. I'm honestly, I don't have a
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: pregame routine of something that I have to have before
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: every game. But I would say, like I'm a like
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: eater before the game, Like I don't like to eat
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: much because I feel like I like to be like light.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: So I don't like to go into the game feeling
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: a little heavy. So I maybe get some eggs, you know, waffle,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: maybe one square off a waffle. I definitely got to
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: have some fruit, so I got it strawberries, blueberries, pineapples,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: some orange juice with some ice, Like I gotta have
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: the ice with the orange juice.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: That's to go to.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: So it's not a big breakfast or not, like not
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: a not a huge you know routine on what I
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: have to have to eat. But I was I give
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: you a little background what I did in Pittsburgh for
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: twenty five kickoff. We had a ten ten o'clock wake
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: up call. I didn't make. This is what I do
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: with that was I put take the phone off the hook, Maddie,
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: leave it off the hook. I didn't come out of
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: my room one time that that morning, I mean that morning.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: So I didn't eat breakfast. So it was like a
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: brunch that I had before before the game.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: It worked.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: I mean small samples, little eggs, some potatoes, some fruit,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: orange juice for ice, you know. And I sat there
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: and I had had a light little snack before I
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: had to go to the field, but nothing that I
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: have to have. But each and every game is different
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: depending on you know, what time we play. So we
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: have a one o'clock game, it's gonna be it's gonna
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: be very limited on what I eat because, like I said,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: waking up, getting here, everything is rushed one o'clock games,
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: so you gotta you gotta get it on it. So no,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: I don't have a a pre game routine on what
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: what I need to eat, but I always try to
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: keep it pretty like though.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, last question, Bill's Notified says you're my favorite player,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: so I want to know who is your favorite player?
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: Growing up?
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: That's I mean, honestly, if we just get into the
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: background of myself, I was a basketball like. I was
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: a basketball guy like, so football was always secondary for me.
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: I played it because I wanted to be around my
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: older brother and I was just I could play a
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: little bit. But basketball first, love, first, passion first, everything.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: So I never had a favorite player like in the NFL,
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: growing up because like I wasn't really watching the NFL,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: but my my God brought brother Morris Clayborne. He really
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: was the reason why I really started watching NFL, just
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: because I really knew somebody on a personal level that
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: was playing, so like I had to tune in and
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: see what he was doing. So like that's the reason
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: why I really started watching it. But he was I
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: would say he's my favorite. He was my favorite player
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: because he motivated me in ways like growing up, in
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: ways to where it's like he laid this blueprint of
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: how to get to a place of success, and I
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: sort of followed it because he was coming from the
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: same background, sort of background of as where I was
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: coming from, facing the same kind of struggles or or
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: things he had to go through to or maneuver through
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: to get there. So and were we were in the
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: same city. We played on the same AU team. He
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: played on the older team and I played on the
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: younger team. And guys used to always joke with him,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: but like, man, this little dude looked like you. He
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: always following you around, and he was the best player
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: on the team and on the on the smaller team.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: I was the best player on the team. So it
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: was like a lot of similarities. But I was able
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: to watch this guy like excel at everything that he did.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, like it didn't matter what it was, football, basketball, track.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Like in basketball his freshman year, like he took the
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: team to the state championship. They want a state championship,
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: and then football like quarterback, he moved from receiver to quarterback,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: like was able to showcase his talents, like similar things
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: that I had to go through. So but over the time,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: like I may have met him when I was like
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: six or seven years old, but over that time, like
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: we developed a friendship in the bond that has that
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: we still have. So I was able to see him
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: go from high school to college and I'm in middle
• 49:36
  Speaker 2: school watching him go through it. And I was able
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: to watch him go from college to the NFL, and
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: along the way he told me everything to what to
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: expect at every level, what I need to do to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: get there, like what to stay away from, what to do,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: what not to do. And he didn't have to do
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: that even when I was in high school. When he
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: was in college, they used to have these football camps.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: LSU had the football camps, the high school football councilhere,
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: you know. So I used to go down there, and
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: you know, the camp was like maybe for three or
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: four days, but I used to stay three or four weeks,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: two or three weeks with him in his dorm while
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: he's still going through regular schedule going through summer school.
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: But you're seeing how it's done.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing everything. I'm seeing all this like like as
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: a young guy, I'm thirteen, fourteen years old, but inspiring
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: to be where he's at. But me just watching, I'm
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: getting up with him going to the workouts, watching sitting
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: in and workout, watching the whole team work out in there,
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm sitting there like, okay, this was gonna take
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: seeing how intense to work out, the weight training was,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: seeing how tis out the outside conditioning conditioning training was like,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: so I was like, this is what I have to
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: do to get to where I want to go. And
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: our connectioning is strong like it was in his wed
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: and like it's just like our conditions go back. So
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: the brother to me, But uh yeah, long response to
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: your question, but yeah, more and my favorite and those
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: are the reasons. Some of the reasons just minicures, just
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: some of the reasons why. But some of them I
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: got to keep to myself because you know, you know,
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: that was a personal personal situations. But great guy like
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: look him up if you don't know, great athlete, like
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: one of the highlights, one of the best cornerbacks in
• 51:20

  Speaker 1: that to look up to and to follow and look
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: at what happened to you. You did so much, I
