Speaker 1: All right, welcome to this week's Ozone podcast, and I
0:03
Speaker 1: think people are gonna enjoy this one a lot. We've
0:06
Speaker 1: had Jaguars safety ray Seon Jenkins on the Ozone Podcast before,
0:10
Speaker 1: but it's been a long time. Uh it's been a
0:14
Speaker 1: long time since last offseason. Uh tell me right now
0:17
Speaker 1: though about the mood of the week. Uh, where is
0:20
Speaker 1: this team? Where is its head? How excited is this
0:23
Speaker 1: team for the Saturday? The team is is very excited, Um,
0:27
Speaker 1: you know, just being here in the playoffs and seeing
0:29
Speaker 1: where we came from over the over the previous years. Actually,
0:33
Speaker 1: you know, kind of just speak for yourself. Man, I
0:35
Speaker 1: think the entire city is excited. So man, we just
0:39
Speaker 1: want to you know, our mind said is, hey, we're here,
0:42
Speaker 1: but we're not satisfied with just getting here, and we
0:45
Speaker 1: we would like to uh make a good run. Uh.
0:49
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram was in here last week and said something
0:51
Speaker 1: very interesting about he thought early in the season, if
0:56
Speaker 1: you had told him to hear me playing in in
0:58
Speaker 1: a basically a playoff game, m that guys whould have
1:01
Speaker 1: been walking around just jacked up all week. But it's
1:06
Speaker 1: a calm approach. It's it's a professional approach. From you guys. Um,
1:09
Speaker 1: I assume most players are feeling that way right there. Hey,
1:12
Speaker 1: there's an energy here, But we approached the same way
1:15
Speaker 1: every day every week, no matter what, right right, And
1:18
Speaker 1: I think you hit this spot on Um, we're kind
1:20
Speaker 1: of we're kind of in that sweet spot what we
1:23
Speaker 1: like to call it. No, not too high or not
1:26
Speaker 1: too low, so um, and just really preserving that energy
1:29
Speaker 1: but being able to unleash and give that energy direction
1:34
Speaker 1: once game day gets here. So um. You know, Uh,
1:38
Speaker 1: Coach Doug and the staff has really done a good job,
1:41
Speaker 1: a great job, you know, kind of helping us understand Hey,
1:44
Speaker 1: that is maybe the way to be and not being
1:46
Speaker 1: too you know, maybe jacked up or too to calm um. Um,
1:52
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that sweet spot is just the right way,
1:54
Speaker 1: right area to be in. And you mentioned the fans. Uh,
1:57
Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I if I talk to any
1:59
Speaker 1: jack Was player this week and didn't ask about the
2:01
Speaker 1: crowd on Saturday. Um. I think considering the build toward
2:08
Speaker 1: that game, some players were surprised at the turnout at
2:11
Speaker 1: the energy. Tell me about the feeling on the field
2:16
Speaker 1: on Saturday in relation to the crowd. Uh, it felt
2:19
Speaker 1: like we were at it felt like we were at
2:21
Speaker 1: a winning organization. Um, it felt like we were. It
2:26
Speaker 1: was just it was crazy. It was so energetic. It
2:29
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me at all because you know, I definitely
2:32
Speaker 1: knew the city would come out and show us some love,
2:35
Speaker 1: especially if we handled what we need to do on
2:38
Speaker 1: the field. You know, the city doesn't want to come
2:39
Speaker 1: out and and watch a one and something too and
2:42
Speaker 1: certain three and some team. So we had to do
2:44
Speaker 1: our part on the field to to ultimately get that
2:47
Speaker 1: thing packed out. And man, it's just it's unreal. You know,
2:50
Speaker 1: once you're playing and you know we're we're we're hungry
2:53
Speaker 1: for more. So I got a lot to ask you
2:55
Speaker 1: about some players this year, But I'm curious as to
2:58
Speaker 1: how maybe compared to set Timber, considering the month you've
3:02
Speaker 1: had when you go out, I'm sure people are known.
3:07
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's you know, it's uh, it's gonna be
3:09
Speaker 1: a little different for you in the last month now.
3:12
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I would definitely say, uh different as
3:16
Speaker 1: far as the media attention, you know they're here. Um,
3:21
Speaker 1: I was able to I was making my plays early on,
3:25
Speaker 1: but now it's hey, I'm making my plays in these
3:27
Speaker 1: in these huge games. I had a good game against
3:29
Speaker 1: Coats early in the season. You know, I had a
3:31
Speaker 1: good game against you know, you know a few other teams.
3:34
Speaker 1: Uh even some teams that we lost against, you know. Um,
3:38
Speaker 1: but unfortunately, when you're losing, it doesn't get it just
3:42
Speaker 1: doesn't get the attention that uh, you know, it may deserve.
3:45
Speaker 1: You know, I had twelve tax early in one game
3:47
Speaker 1: in the season. But you know, it just never get it.
3:49
Speaker 1: It will never get missed unless you're doing what we're
3:51
Speaker 1: doing now, which is a good thing for uh, not
3:55
Speaker 1: only the organization, but the players inside of the organization.
3:57
Speaker 1: You know, players get known, you know, can you really
4:01
Speaker 1: have a nice jump start or whatever however you might
4:04
Speaker 1: call it to their career. UM. Rewind to this date
4:10
Speaker 1: last year, seasons over, you're looking to rehab the ankle. Still,
4:16
Speaker 1: what a difference in your makes for you? Right? Yeah, absolutely,
4:19
Speaker 1: this time last year, I had actually just finished surgery
4:24
Speaker 1: about a week ago. So you're staring at a long road. Yeah,
4:28
Speaker 1: I'm staying at a really long road. But it's nothing
4:29
Speaker 1: I had and faced before. You know, I had back
4:31
Speaker 1: surgery back in two thousand and fourteen. You know, I
4:34
Speaker 1: was out for twenty months, you know, so I knew nothing. Yeah,
4:40
Speaker 1: I knew six or six was nothing like I was like,
4:41
Speaker 1: all right, cool whatever. I knew as long as I
4:44
Speaker 1: rehab the right way. That that's a lot of people
4:46
Speaker 1: can't overlook. Is as long as I rehab the right
4:49
Speaker 1: way and really approach and attack this thing how it
4:51
Speaker 1: needs to be attacked, then I shouldn't have a problem.
4:54
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, injuries are gonna happen in this game.
4:58
Speaker 1: You know, it's can you bounce back, refocusing and get
5:01
Speaker 1: back out there. But that was a tougher injury than
5:03
Speaker 1: you're making it out to be. It was. It was.
5:05
Speaker 1: I mean, it's women to come back from high ankle spraining,
5:08
Speaker 1: it's anything to come back from a full break like
5:10
Speaker 1: you did. So not the easiest thing in the world
5:13
Speaker 1: that you're talking about. Yeah, I mean I have a
5:15
Speaker 1: I snapped in the half. I have have a plate
5:17
Speaker 1: in six screws in my leg right now in a
5:19
Speaker 1: in a tight roope that brings both of my bones
5:21
Speaker 1: together to keep them in in in um, you know,
5:24
Speaker 1: close together. But but hey, I mean, God, God is good.
5:28
Speaker 1: I don't I don't feel it. If I mean, it
5:30
Speaker 1: is what it is, tell me about the culture of
5:34
Speaker 1: this team. And I know the players have talked about
5:36
Speaker 1: it all year, but I heard you talk about it
5:38
Speaker 1: a little bit, So it fascinates me to get your
5:40
Speaker 1: insight on it. Um, is the I don't say the best.
5:46
Speaker 1: I don't want to compare other teams, but how good
5:49
Speaker 1: is the culture here? And why do you think it is?
5:52
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many freedoms to come in. It
5:55
Speaker 1: has been a quick build toward a really special culture. Yeah.
5:58
Speaker 1: I think the culture is us a culture just full
6:01
Speaker 1: of hard working young men that want and demand their respect. Um.
6:08
Speaker 1: I think my biggest thing when I when I played
6:10
Speaker 1: the game of football, I play for my respect in
6:13
Speaker 1: my pride. So um, you know, Uh, Trent and coach
6:19
Speaker 1: Doug was able to come in and you know, get
6:22
Speaker 1: get a group of guys in here like that that
6:24
Speaker 1: we're all like minded that came in and were willing
6:27
Speaker 1: to do the extra things. Stay in the building, a
6:29
Speaker 1: little extra, you know, go home, watch film, a little extra. Um.
6:33
Speaker 1: You know, guys who play their hearts out. Uh, you know,
6:36
Speaker 1: just just that's a culture we're trying to build. That's
6:38
Speaker 1: a culture we're trying to keep and and that's the
6:41
Speaker 1: culture where we're trying to when you come now come
6:44
Speaker 1: into this organization, it's something you now have to abide
6:47
Speaker 1: to because that's just the standard here. So that's the
6:50
Speaker 1: type of culture we're we're bringing to this team. It's striking.
6:53
Speaker 1: Talking to Christian a couple of weeks ago, he said
6:56
Speaker 1: it was the exact same thing. He said, it was
6:58
Speaker 1: very evident, very quickly. Evan Zay, guys whould come in
7:03
Speaker 1: last year Fourer all very similar in terms of what
7:07
Speaker 1: you're talking about. All guys who it doesn't take very
7:10
Speaker 1: long to realize that these guys are about team and
7:14
Speaker 1: they're about extra effort um, you know, and not every
7:18
Speaker 1: free agent comes in like that. So it really was
7:22
Speaker 1: a case of target. Did you know pretty quickly that
7:24
Speaker 1: class was gonna match? I guess you and that way
7:27
Speaker 1: you're talking about, um me me looking at that class
7:32
Speaker 1: coming in, I saw a bunch of talent, like like
7:35
Speaker 1: a bunch of talent, especially uh Evan Ingram coming in.
7:39
Speaker 1: It was an upgrade from what we had that I've
7:42
Speaker 1: seen on the team I got here. We had just
7:45
Speaker 1: a bunch of talent coming in. Christna Kurt uh Foyer,
7:49
Speaker 1: So a lot of guys coming in. Um, so I didn't.
7:52
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say I really knew that, but I knew
7:54
Speaker 1: we had a lot of talent coming into where we
7:58
Speaker 1: could compete with just about anybody. Well, we can't compete
8:01
Speaker 1: with anybody body. Um. It wasn't until you know, that
8:05
Speaker 1: we started working together and really putting in those work
8:08
Speaker 1: days that hey, I was like, Hey, these guys are
8:11
Speaker 1: these guys are like me. These dogs are dogs hungry.
8:14
Speaker 1: So I mean, I mean that that's kind of how
8:17
Speaker 1: it went. And and um, and it's kind of just
8:19
Speaker 1: been like that since day waned and you know, it's
8:21
Speaker 1: kind of been those guys to to kind of bring
8:23
Speaker 1: those other guys along, you know, and we need those
8:26
Speaker 1: guys like that. There's a scene that it was in
8:31
Speaker 1: some of the videos they have come out since that
8:33
Speaker 1: game of you hugging Doug Peterson after the game in
8:36
Speaker 1: the locker room. What's he meant to you in this team?
8:41
Speaker 1: Just to turn around to come in And it just
8:44
Speaker 1: felt like football again when he came in. It was just,
8:47
Speaker 1: like I keep telling them, just a level of professionalism
8:51
Speaker 1: and knowledge that he brought to the organization that was
8:55
Speaker 1: you know, just it was it was it was just
8:57
Speaker 1: a breath of fresh air. Uh. And then the half
9:00
Speaker 1: he put together, you know, a bunch of just former
9:02
Speaker 1: players who put that uniform on. Uh, that's been on
9:05
Speaker 1: those front lines, that kind of guys. Um, so that
9:09
Speaker 1: that was just you know he I mean, he's he's
9:13
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of the trailblazers. To start this
9:15
Speaker 1: thing up like it. Without that leadership that he brought,
9:18
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could have got all of
9:20
Speaker 1: this talent to kind of hit in the same direction
9:23
Speaker 1: or towards the same goal. So hats off to to
9:26
Speaker 1: you know, the captain of the ship there's playing the
9:30
Speaker 1: Chargers mean anything to you? Um No, what means something
9:35
Speaker 1: to me? Is this this game. It's a playoff game.
9:39
Speaker 1: You know that. That's it could have been a Charger,
9:41
Speaker 1: that could have been uh, New England, you know it.
9:45
Speaker 1: It's it's the it's the fact that this is a
9:47
Speaker 1: playoff game and the importance of it, you know, behind
9:53
Speaker 1: the city, the organization, just the part, you know what
9:56
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So just being able anytime there is an
10:01
Speaker 1: opportunity to go down to history for some good hey man,
10:05
Speaker 1: they playing, Oh yeah, it's it's it's really it's important though,
10:08
Speaker 1: so I'm one of those guys. You know, I want
10:11
Speaker 1: my name marked in history. I want my name, you know. So,
10:15
Speaker 1: so I look at games like this, no matter who
10:17
Speaker 1: it is, it is what it is. I gotta I gotta,
10:20
Speaker 1: I gotta get my another belief that your energy level
10:24
Speaker 1: and the way you play with the effort big plays
10:27
Speaker 1: sort of defines this defense. Um, you know, I'm not
10:32
Speaker 1: cann pig you on the spot and ask if you're
10:34
Speaker 1: the identity of the defense. But do you see that
10:37
Speaker 1: in terms of what this defense is in terms of
10:40
Speaker 1: effort all the time, big plays and key moments, Uh,
10:44
Speaker 1: is that the identity defense? To you? I would one
10:47
Speaker 1: thousand percent say the identity of the defense is just energy.
10:52
Speaker 1: And it's not particularly from one person, but just you know,
10:56
Speaker 1: the energy we create ourselves, Like I understand, hey, we
11:01
Speaker 1: we thrive when the energy is up. It's a young team,
11:05
Speaker 1: you know. You know, I understand that I'm one of
11:06
Speaker 1: the oldest guys on the defense, Like I'm one, yeah,
11:09
Speaker 1: and I'm young. I'm one of the oldest starters on
11:11
Speaker 1: the defense and I'm young. So but I do understand
11:14
Speaker 1: if I want to win here, I know how these
11:16
Speaker 1: young guys have to approach this game. I know how
11:20
Speaker 1: these young guys have to feel like. I know the
11:23
Speaker 1: energy has to be up in order. Even though I
11:25
Speaker 1: may not feel like being energetic in that moment, I
11:27
Speaker 1: just know I have to do it in that moment
11:29
Speaker 1: for my team. Have you um and the effort from
11:34
Speaker 1: you on every play is remarkable. Jeff Lockerman, analyst here,
11:38
Speaker 1: told me the other day, you can't turn on a
11:41
Speaker 1: play that you play, just random play in the game
11:44
Speaker 1: seventy five players and not find a play where you're going.
11:49
Speaker 1: Always been that way? Is that always just been the
11:51
Speaker 1: way you play? Always been that way? It's literally always
11:53
Speaker 1: been that way ever since I left the Charges. I
11:56
Speaker 1: have my coach by the name of Roun my List
11:59
Speaker 1: and Chris Harris, and they used to always tell me
12:03
Speaker 1: if you did not run this ball, you will not
12:04
Speaker 1: play for me like that that that they did not
12:06
Speaker 1: if you didn't They had two rules. Being your knees.
12:10
Speaker 1: I don't want a straight leg dB, so being your knees.
12:13
Speaker 1: I play a little straight leg now because it's a
12:15
Speaker 1: little comfortable. But when I was on, were just being
12:18
Speaker 1: your knees and you and you better run to this
12:20
Speaker 1: ball every single play. But them instilling that into me.
12:25
Speaker 1: Um taught me that, hey, you run into the ball,
12:29
Speaker 1: Like I might not be the point of uh attack
12:34
Speaker 1: every every play. You know, it's it's impossible, but what
12:37
Speaker 1: you can do is be a factor. And you never
12:40
Speaker 1: know where where the the ball may get hit out,
12:42
Speaker 1: the ball may may I don't know, do do something.
12:45
Speaker 1: Good things happen around the balls. That's always the same
12:47
Speaker 1: good things happened, So always be around the ball. And
12:50
Speaker 1: I'm just that type of guy, like I want to
12:53
Speaker 1: make your job on offense as hard as poss And
12:57
Speaker 1: guys hate guys with high yeah high uh engines and
13:02
Speaker 1: you're playing basketball plays defense. You just hate that guy.
13:06
Speaker 1: You just honestly hate that guy. But I've I've always
13:08
Speaker 1: been that guy. I've always trained to be that guy. Um.
13:12
Speaker 1: You know, I call it. I call it being like
13:13
Speaker 1: a little Pat Beverly just just really just all over
13:16
Speaker 1: the place, annoying, you know, just just just kind of
13:19
Speaker 1: just walking that line, man and just just creating that energy. Yeah,
13:22
Speaker 1: it's it's it's just it's part of the game. Okay.
13:25
Speaker 1: So the turnover chain the other day that you put
13:27
Speaker 1: on Tyson, it really came out of the stands. Oh,
13:30
Speaker 1: every time. So that's my second time doing that this season. Okay,
13:34
Speaker 1: I missed the first one. So the first one was
13:36
Speaker 1: Andre Cisco's um interception early in the season versus the
13:40
Speaker 1: Coats okay, got you, yeah, versus the Coats his interception.
13:43
Speaker 1: So I there's a guy waving a smaller chain that time,
13:48
Speaker 1: which I want to grab, and I tried to put
13:50
Speaker 1: it over Cisco's head. It's too small, but it was
13:52
Speaker 1: too small because of him. It was on you know,
13:55
Speaker 1: so we kind of just held it up next to it.
13:57
Speaker 1: But I said, man, next time we go score in
14:00
Speaker 1: the end zone and somebody waving to chain up like that,
14:03
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna look for the biggest chain out there. Okay.
14:05
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of them down. Yes, there's a
14:07
Speaker 1: lot of change because a lot of fans just bring
14:09
Speaker 1: a lot of change and stuff to the guy. I
14:10
Speaker 1: don't know why. Maybe it's just like it's the thing.
14:12
Speaker 1: Maybe ever since the you do you came out with it,
14:15
Speaker 1: you know, a few years back to turnover Chaine. So
14:17
Speaker 1: I guess that's kind of been like one of the
14:19
Speaker 1: you know things here. You know, I had just left
14:23
Speaker 1: it year before that was Mark Rick and his so
14:25
Speaker 1: I played under Mark Rick for one year, but then
14:27
Speaker 1: that second year that's when he intro all the turnover
14:30
Speaker 1: chain stuff. But yeah, I saw the chain in the
14:33
Speaker 1: UH stands. I went to go grab it, and I
14:36
Speaker 1: was like, you're talking about culture changing, like I'm trying to.
14:40
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make this place fun to to be
14:44
Speaker 1: like I want. I want the fans to feel like
14:46
Speaker 1: they're involved, like I want to. I want this thing
14:49
Speaker 1: packed every you know, every game. So you know, I
14:51
Speaker 1: went over there, I grabbed the chain through it on Tyson,
14:53
Speaker 1: we just turned up. That's fantastic. Did you know that
14:57
Speaker 1: the other night was your first sack in two seasons? Yeah,
15:00
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know. So, but what's crazy
15:03
Speaker 1: is I missed two this year, like just completely missed him.
15:07
Speaker 1: So the first one was on Derek Carr. Uh. I
15:12
Speaker 1: came through the B gap and I jumped. I just
15:16
Speaker 1: jumped because I jumped. So I jumped to go try
15:19
Speaker 1: to deflect the ball because I jumped early in the
15:21
Speaker 1: season against Matt Ryan. So just it being muscle memory,
15:26
Speaker 1: I jumped again, thinking hey, this is another PVU. But
15:29
Speaker 1: Derek Carr is a little more mobile than than Matt Ryan. Sure,
15:32
Speaker 1: and he's a little he's made, uh just a little
15:35
Speaker 1: bit smaller than Matt Ryan, so he was able to
15:38
Speaker 1: after that jump under, Yeah, I missed, and then he
15:43
Speaker 1: and then he would write under and then the second
15:45
Speaker 1: sack I missed was um Mills from Houston, right off
15:51
Speaker 1: the edge, clean first game out here, right, No, it
15:54
Speaker 1: was just this past, like two weeks ago. So I
15:59
Speaker 1: come off the edge, I'm clean, clean, clean, clean, and
16:02
Speaker 1: he literally at the last minute sees me and spends
16:06
Speaker 1: field and I go flying, and I'm like, oh my goodness,
16:09
Speaker 1: that's two sacks. I just missed this. That's all I
16:11
Speaker 1: kept thinking. But then I'm the type of guy forget
16:14
Speaker 1: that play, move on to next play. I gotta do
16:16
Speaker 1: something else to erase that mistake. Now that's just me.
16:20
Speaker 1: So obviously they called blitz the other night. Are those
16:26
Speaker 1: plays going through your mind? Or you just send this out,
16:29
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, because obviously you know
16:32
Speaker 1: it's a big play. Are you thinking you're going to
16:34
Speaker 1: get a sack before that? Or I guess what's your
16:37
Speaker 1: mind frame? What's going through your brain from the time
16:39
Speaker 1: that things called the time you hit him, so from
16:41
Speaker 1: the time it was called I'm like okay now. So
16:45
Speaker 1: from the time it was called it's it's okay now.
16:48
Speaker 1: The first thing I think about, Okay, let's go. My
16:49
Speaker 1: coach trust me to make this play in this situation
16:53
Speaker 1: for the game. That's that's huge for me, you know.
16:55
Speaker 1: So I'm like, so that in my head, it's like,
16:57
Speaker 1: I gotta go. I don't want my guys covering for
16:59
Speaker 1: too long. I gotta you know, this is this is
17:01
Speaker 1: this for my team. So I get back there, and
17:04
Speaker 1: normally I'll get back there, I go for the sack
17:07
Speaker 1: just to get you down, sack whatever, ball whatever. I
17:11
Speaker 1: get back there and I'm like, I gotta get this
17:14
Speaker 1: ball out. I have to get the ball out because
17:16
Speaker 1: the sack just it's not gonna do right now. So
17:19
Speaker 1: I get back there and I'm like, okay, I know
17:22
Speaker 1: I had to sack, but I'm waiting for him to
17:24
Speaker 1: to to put his arm to throw the ball. So
17:28
Speaker 1: as soon as I saw that, I literally just lunched
17:30
Speaker 1: and try to just swing at his arm and I
17:33
Speaker 1: hit it and it went forward, got up, kind of
17:37
Speaker 1: shielded the guy off, and you know it was we
17:40
Speaker 1: got back on we had one more possession. We were
17:42
Speaker 1: so tired. We had to calm down because it was
17:44
Speaker 1: so much energy. So you're going back right back in
17:47
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, and we didn't remember, like that's something that's
17:50
Speaker 1: a small detail that we forgotten that moment and we
17:53
Speaker 1: all jumping around and now I'm on the oxygen tank
17:56
Speaker 1: like like a minute later, you know. Um, but no,
18:00
Speaker 1: we had to go out there for another possession stop him.
18:02
Speaker 1: But once we were out there for that other for
18:04
Speaker 1: that last suggestion, I just kind of knew just from
18:06
Speaker 1: the energy from us, you know, from us, from the
18:09
Speaker 1: from the crowd, we felt it and we just you know,
18:11
Speaker 1: we knew the game was over. At you, Um, I'd
18:16
Speaker 1: be remiss of it. Ain't nasty about the Dallas return
18:18
Speaker 1: because haven't talked to you since then. Um, what kind
18:22
Speaker 1: of moment is that? Tell me what it's like when
18:25
Speaker 1: you're on the ten and you know you're scoring that
18:29
Speaker 1: situation and the crowd's going nuts. That has to be
18:32
Speaker 1: a high like nothing else. Yeah, I mean honestly, like
18:34
Speaker 1: in that like I don't know, just while it was happening,
18:38
Speaker 1: it wasn't as right, you know, like when you I
18:42
Speaker 1: had to go back and like really be like dang,
18:45
Speaker 1: you know, I was just flowing just in the zone,
18:47
Speaker 1: you know, just doing what I'm just doing what I'm doing. Like,
18:49
Speaker 1: I don't even know I had eighteen tackles until my
18:50
Speaker 1: teammates ran up into me. It was like, hey, oh
18:54
Speaker 1: my god, eighteen tackles and I'm sitting there like bro
18:58
Speaker 1: was just doing my job. I'm just I'm just out here,
19:00
Speaker 1: just running to the ball, doing my job. And you know,
19:04
Speaker 1: this is what comes with it. So yeah, man, plays
19:06
Speaker 1: like that is very life changing. Um, you know, especially
19:10
Speaker 1: for organizations like this and and and and man, it's
19:14
Speaker 1: just it was just great to be a part of.
19:15
Speaker 1: It's great to be a part of. And I want
19:17
Speaker 1: to continue to make, you know, more historic moments like that,
19:20
Speaker 1: you know, you know with this team, the last thing
19:22
Speaker 1: we do. I caught the ozone five It's five quick questions. Fine,
19:26
Speaker 1: Uh what was your last binge watch? Binge watch? Oh man,
19:30
Speaker 1: I don't even watch TV really, so um my last
19:34
Speaker 1: binge watch was probably, um, you're just watching Snowfall, maybe
19:40
Speaker 1: Snowfall or something like that. Snowfall, I got what's the
19:45
Speaker 1: me or you you? Yeah, So like I watched that.
19:51
Speaker 1: I watched a bunch of like, ah g TV, I
19:54
Speaker 1: bunch of uh I'm big into real estates. I watched
19:56
Speaker 1: I watched a bunch of a g TV. I watched
19:59
Speaker 1: a lot of cooking shows. Love food, so a lot
20:01
Speaker 1: of traveling shows. I like stuff like that. It's probably
20:03
Speaker 1: better than Bene watched. Most of your teammates come in there,
20:05
Speaker 1: and they've got one in the last week. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
20:08
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't really watch Netflix or anything
20:10
Speaker 1: like that. Do you have a go to pregame song? Um? No,
20:15
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I used to. Music used to be,
20:18
Speaker 1: you know a big part of my you know, pregame ritual.
20:21
Speaker 1: But as I've gotten older, I kind of just really
20:23
Speaker 1: don't need it anymore. I just yeah, I just kind
20:26
Speaker 1: of it's just, I mean, it's my life, so I
20:28
Speaker 1: kind of just know what. I don't really need anything
20:30
Speaker 1: to kind of intimate me or anything like that. But
20:33
Speaker 1: if I, you know, if I had to go any
20:34
Speaker 1: pregrat pregame songs, that will probably be something like Jeremiah
20:38
Speaker 1: Yoko out of St. Petersburg, Florida, Ridway by the St. Petersburg, Florida,
20:44
Speaker 1: or call that Black Got You. You know, something like that.
20:48
Speaker 1: You've played with them both better hair, Come on, man,
20:54
Speaker 1: you know Lawrence man Man, you know lawyers Man. But
20:57
Speaker 1: but I like mine with both of them, So okay,
21:00
Speaker 1: that's fair. Best player he ever played against, best player
21:04
Speaker 1: I've ever played against against. Um, best player I've personally
21:12
Speaker 1: ever played against was Darren Waller. Okay, you know I
21:16
Speaker 1: like Darren Waller just the yeah, the matchup he opposes
21:22
Speaker 1: to different like everybody. He's so fast, big, he I mean,
21:27
Speaker 1: he's like he's he's a crazy player. So I mean
21:30
Speaker 1: he's a top in my opinion, he's the top three
21:32
Speaker 1: tight end. So I got you now you were thinking
21:36
Speaker 1: about it. Played with played with best player Derwin James period. Yeah,
21:44
Speaker 1: just crazy talent, just crazy talent, like the like he's
21:49
Speaker 1: he's he's so big but able to do like little
21:53
Speaker 1: guys stuff like he's so big. But and then his
21:55
Speaker 1: mentality is is you know, his mentality just like he's
21:58
Speaker 1: mentality exactly like uh sent your Florida guy. Yeah, so
22:03
Speaker 1: so you know, you know, we're both from the crib,
22:06
Speaker 1: so similarities now an unfair question. But it's the last one.
22:10
Speaker 1: Better play the sack or the iron, sat easy, that's
22:15
Speaker 1: not even that's not even like sad that I'm in
22:17
Speaker 1: the playoffs. I'm sitting like like like come on like
22:23
Speaker 1: so that play I feel and we can make an
22:27
Speaker 1: argument of maybe if that play in Dallas didn't happen,
22:30
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you know, but you know that play
22:34
Speaker 1: kind of change. That was more about me that play. Sure,
22:38
Speaker 1: you know Dallas School is cool, but this was I said,
22:41
Speaker 1: like we were able to send the tired organization to
22:44
Speaker 1: the city to the you know what I'm saying will
22:48
Speaker 1: be replayed as long as it's a franchise. So I
22:51
Speaker 1: honestly truly picked that play um to be able to
22:56
Speaker 1: you know, keep my team alive and you know, in
22:59
Speaker 1: the situation aathing like that is, it's some like I say,
23:02
Speaker 1: like I said last time about the data place, let
23:04
Speaker 1: you dream about got you Rashon Jenkins. I know it's
23:07
