All right, we got a very special guest. Hey, B. Rob, what's up, B, Rock? Joining us today, 49 is running back, Brian Robertson, Jr. How you doing, bro?
Starting point is 00:03:12 I'm good. I'm good, man. I'm good, man. Look, three and old, but y'all been besieged by injuries, man. Nick Bosa, Brock Purdy, Kettle, Jennings, I, you can still yet to play. How have you guys been over to still beat 3 and O as the injuries start to mount, and it's, you know, the adage, the cliche next man up has really has really had to be you guys's mantra.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yeah, I think the depth just got to prepare. They just got to keep preparing like the starter, you know. Same conversation to me and Matt Jones been having, you know, the last couple of weeks, you know. He didn't think he was going to know he was going to have to start, you know, the last couple weeks. So, you know, just big testament to guys that just come in and prepare, come in and working, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:58 like, you know, they're going to get their shot, going to get a moment at any given time. So I think that's the biggest thing about just having a team full of, you know, experienced players and, you know, depth that, you know, prepare well. So guys got to step up now for sure. Yeah. Be Rob, what does that transition been like for you, going from Washington, going down to San Francisco? What has the transition been getting acclimated to the offense, getting acclimated to a new atmosphere, new environment?
Starting point is 00:04:23 What has that been like for you? it's been good you know it's been a work in progress for sure you know it was a quick quick turnaround for sure you know but um I think you know with Kyle's offense it's easy to you know kind of you know for my style you know it's a lot of run you know run game in there so like it's easy for me to know pick up to that stuff you know obviously um some of the verbiage and stuff I'm still picking up on but you know for the most part I've been picking up on stuff pretty fast my running back coach is that with y'all Bobby Turner you tell Hey, said, man, I was on last night, Bobby T.
Starting point is 00:04:57 He told me to tell you what's up. Okay, I'm for sure let him know tomorrow. I'm going to know. What's been Kyle message to you guys? I've known Kyle since he was 12 years old. I know a lot of the guys out there because a lot of the guys were you were with me when I was in Denver, Kyle was in high school and when he went on to the University of Texas.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But I know a lot of those coaches out there. So what's been Kyle message to you guys that keep you guys three, got you guys three and oh even though the injuries have started to mount i think it's the message that really sits with me for real is um he's been telling us you know just just play desperate you know like you know that's just been the message just play desperate and i and i feel like you know that's enough said honestly you know sure everybody pretty much respond to that alone everybody knows exactly what he mean when he say that like you know play desperate and shit I feel like, you know, that's the message, simple as that.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Let me, yeah. Brad, okay, we hear this all of a sudden. I mean, I thought you was playing well for Washington, and then all you saw, you know, he might get traded or if he did not get rid. They can't find a trade partner. They're going to release. Did, was there anything in training camp?
Starting point is 00:06:08 Was there anything in the offseason that led you to believe that you wouldn't be a commander this season? I mean, honestly, I couldn't even tell you that. I was just so focused on, you know, just being a commander, you know, that's, I felt like at the time, that's the only thing I should have been, been focused on, you know, unless, you know, somebody from the higher-up had a message they wanted to say, you know, say something to me that made me think otherwise, other than that, you know, my only focus was being a commander, you know, so, you know, I couldn't tell you
Starting point is 00:06:41 nothing besides, like, rumors or something like that, that probably, like, triggered it, you know, but, you don't really get too caught up in rumors and stuff that go on on the internet, that you don't really know, but apparently they was knowing stuff. I ain't know at the time. Listen, be robbed, that happened to all of us, baby. They happened to all of us. One day, obviously it happened to me. Uncle, I'm sure it's happening to you.
Starting point is 00:07:05 And sometimes you're going on about your business, doing what you're doing for getting prepared for the season. And all of a sudden, you know, it always comes from in-house too. It always comes from in-house. They purposely put it out there just to get the storm, just to get the storm going, you know and it lets you know but damn that's how y'all feel about me everything that it did for you all the work got them put in the bloods went to war with y'all and that's what y'all want to leak out there and it is but listen you want you off the greener pastures obviously enjoy and say how you enjoy your time
Starting point is 00:07:37 out there in in san francisco so far yeah honestly man i just i mean i jump straight into it man i ain't really have time to really just you know get out and really explore like that you know I'm sure when the time come, I'll see what it's like. But, you know, right now, shit, it's just been all above for me, man. I had to jump straight off the jet, like, you know, like trying to, trying to get in the playbook, you know, I was because shit, I got to, I'm in the same position, you know. You're like a rookie all over again, got to learn a new system. Yeah. Yeah, me, but at the same time, also preparing, like, the start of that, shit, I've always been.
Starting point is 00:08:11 So, you know, so when my normal call, like, come in and do my thing, you know, so that's what I expect to do. So I'm, you know, just working on getting caught up the speed as fast as I can just so that it ain't no hit coach when I'm getting caught. I don't care about the fact that it's only been a couple weeks. I ain't making no excuse to that, you know what I'm saying? When it's time for me to spin, spin. Yeah. Is the offense schematically any different? I'm sure the word are different, but are there any similarities from the commanders and what would you have to do with the 49ers or is it completely different?
Starting point is 00:08:47 I think we run a different scheme. You know, it's definitely a different scheme. And it's actually, like, I like it, you know. One cut, get your ass downhill. Exactly. You know, that make, that make no sense to me, you feel me, that makes sense to me. I'm good with that.
Starting point is 00:09:04 I block that one cut, hey, we're gonna cut the back side. When you make a decision, when you put your foot in the dirt, commit to that, come on with it. Yes, sir. I'm worried. Bobby T, A, A, A, so that, it, Hey, we practice that. So why the head you do it?
Starting point is 00:09:25 Yeah, Bobby T don't play. Jent know, hey, I don't know if you know Bobby T, Bobbitt don't play. Nah. I don't got to know him well over the last three weeks for sure. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Bobby, Bobby T, a great guy though. Man, he's a great guy.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Let me, what's it like having Christian McCaffrey? I mean, you're in the same meeting room with Christian McCaffer. You're in the backfield sometimes. What's it been like because, you know, You know, going to the University of Alabama, you used to having, you know, great back, great players around you, but he's a different animal. Yeah, he definitely, you know, he is who he is, though,
Starting point is 00:09:58 but he's super humble, you know, great, you know, great teammate. So it's, you know, it's easy, you know, being in a room with him. He, you know, he's just a great team player. So he, you know, he ain't too caught up in, you know, being Christian McCaffrey and all that, you know, so it's been pretty cool, you know, just getting to know him. and get the player alongside him and just seeing how he go about his business
Starting point is 00:10:21 and why he is, the special player he is, because he, he handled his business like that. He'd be on top of it, you know what I'm saying? It's just been fun to watch and just get to know him and just see how he's been great like that over these years. Hey, man, what is it like, man? I'm like, just the thought, man, and being able to shed a few.
Starting point is 00:10:42 I'm kind of kind of hurt almost a little bit, not being able to play in this era because there's some great players that I enjoy watching, especially on the defensive side of the ball, that I would have loved to go against. Fred Warner has to be one of my favorite players. Man, you got to tell me, what is it like being able to share the field with Young Bull, man,
Starting point is 00:11:05 every time y'all liked that on that field. Yeah, I think, I think, you know, being able to share the field with Fred is special. You know, that's a moment of my life. I ain't going to take for granted for sure because of that. I came out here to Sam Fran, I had to play against Fred my rookie year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Man, we told each other up, you know what I'm saying? But we hit it. Look, we hit each other enough just, you know, after the game, like, like, bro. Respect, yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, you know, by the time I walked in the building here, it was just like, you know, we still remember, like, no moments, like, playing against each other. And I'm like, we're on the same team, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:11:42 So it's like, hey, we're going to go do that to other teams. now. We're going to go do what we were doing each other. We're going to go do that to somebody else. You know what I'm saying? So I think that's dope. That's dope for sure. Be Rob, do you remember first game you came out? It's a tremendous meme.
Starting point is 00:11:59 You came out running to many men after the traumatic you ended up getting shot. And I was like, well, he's probably done for the year. And hell, you back in no time. I'm like, damn. I mean, obviously that's a very traumatic experience. What was it like running out after being shot? I don't think you missed very many games. What'd you miss like three, four games?
Starting point is 00:12:18 Or you can't, now, you was right back. Yeah, I'm only missed, I only miss the games that I was out for the, what is, NFI? Yeah, no, yeah. So you got, you gotta miss, you gotta miss four games. So those only, those are only four games I had missed. Did you know, did you know you was gonna be able to make it back so quick?
Starting point is 00:12:37 So when this happened, so what, what are the doctors telling you, what are the athletic trainers telling you? And then what are you telling yourself? Um, so the doctors actually told me that I would make a full recovery. I would, you know, I would be able to, you know, play ball again. You know, so that was the first thing the doctors told me. So, um, once I got out of there, shit, I took it straight to the recovery room, you know, and once I got in a recovery room, it was just work in progress.
Starting point is 00:13:03 You know, I, you know, shit, once I started walking and I was able to jog and just move my feet and just do little cuts and stuff to just make me feel like myself again, I just started kind of ramping myself up just in the training room and getting stronger and really I still weren't ready to play I just I wanted to play
Starting point is 00:13:25 you know in my head I was like you know ain't nothing to stop me from playing I'm playing especially after shit again named a starter too I'm like yeah I got to get out of my career
Starting point is 00:13:36 at the start I got to go get in there and get active like and I went even close to to Hill then help you when I even touched the field anyway, not even close, not a, not, by a long shot. Right. Not by a long shot.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I ran, I ran on one leg, I ran on one leg for two years for sure. Damn. Like, no doubt. But, so when I, when I finally came back, this was the thing that, this was, this was the decision-making time. After I was, had set out for the first four games, and I was able to come back, you know, Rivera Rivera was my head coach at the time. Coach Rivera, he came in the locker room.
Starting point is 00:14:18 He came to him. He was just like, yo, totally up you. I respect that, though. You know what I'm saying? He came up to me. He was just like, yo, it was totally up you. You know, like, your call, your shot. I'm like, I'm going, you know?
Starting point is 00:14:32 That was the only words I have. I'm like, I'm going. That's how. That's just how. Going through this traumatic experience, have you had to move differently? Have you surrounded yourself with different? people, make sure you stay out of certain areas.
Starting point is 00:14:46 So how has that impacted the way you move day to day now? Honestly, I've always been the type that moved precisely, you know, I always had that precision in my movements, you know. So it was actually kind of shocking how that even, you know, drew upon me. I didn't realize that the city was just that bad. You know, I just didn't know it was that, that terrible. You know, I was just calmly stopping through, you know. I didn't know it was that terrible, you know, to where I had to really, you know, just be all the way on edge for sure.
Starting point is 00:15:25 You know, P's and Q's. Yeah, like, like, I really wasn't even on that type of time at the time. And, you know, most, like, that's just how I naturally move anyway. So I kind of let my guards down for a minute down after just getting the rules and stuff from the NFL security. of our team that was just telling us like how the gun laws and stuff like that is down there
Starting point is 00:15:48 so I'm like all right I ain't got no guns guns down they ain't gonna worry about the gun feel me so bad please so my mindset was just kind of like
Starting point is 00:15:57 I kind of like I slept on them for it just a little I kind of slept on them you know what I'm saying and shit it happened just that fast damn
Starting point is 00:16:06 just that little in that little window where I was sleeping at I took you know what I'm saying yeah man they ran down I'm a man. You had the jury, they take anything above you? No, man.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I ain't really even have nothing on me, but my wallet and my keys. But there was more shocked as, they was just as shocked as I was. So it was just kind of like we was at a little standoff, man. I ain't really come. I ain't give them, I didn't give them nothing. But it was, I just ain't really have time to, you know, shit was just having so fast. having so fast I ain't really had I ain't had time to do nothing for a but but what I did but like I said you never know what you're going to do until you get in a situation like you know I learned something
Starting point is 00:16:52 about myself that day you know you got I'm glad I'm glad you're good though I'm glad you good man by the grace of God man to be able to continue doing what I'm sure was your childhood dream and that's playing the game of football you are you're from Tuscaloosa um was there any where did you consider to go into any other school other than Alabama. No, not really. I ain't even going to lie to you, bro. It was always Bama, bro. It was always Bama.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I even tried to go out and visit other schools. And it just wasn't Bama. Did he feed right? Well, really, it almost got a little rowdy as right before, like, it was time for me to go and sign the school. Curbitt had got the head coach and job at Georgia after being at Alabama for all those years and he was part of my recruiting process as well so you know he kind of went and got that job at Georgia and he was
Starting point is 00:17:52 just like come on I'm like I'm like I went over there checking them out you know me and my family went over there and sat down with him you know you know he made it real interesting he made it an interesting that he finally had made my recruitment process interesting because at that point I hadn't paying attention to nobody Then Kirby had got that job. He made it interesting for a short second. And I was just like, nah, bro, can't do it. Can't do it.
Starting point is 00:18:20 That's cool. That's dope. Give me your top five Alabama running backs. Off the top like that. I got to go back a few years because my first running back that I actually had paid attention to, you know, just growing up in Tuscaloosa, was Glenn Kaufman. So I'm going to throw him in there. I'm going to let Glenn slide. And then I'm going to let Mark Ingram get in there.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Mark. I got to let Mark get in there. I got to let Trent get in there. Got to let Trent get in there. I got to let Josh get in there. I got a little Josh. You got to get him. You got him a one more spot?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Not including myself. I'm not including myself. But I'm going to put Derek in there, too. You got there. Damn, you're doing there afterthought, huh? Damn. But no, he ain't last. It ain't really no order.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Everybody's doing that thing. It ain't no order when you put the balmy backs together. It really ain't no order. You know what I'm saying? I don't know. Like, it really ain't no order, you know. Obviously, you can put them in your own order. You know what I'm saying?

We're just here to try to give you an NFL perspective a little bit different. Did you see the Colts pretzel? That was my other big takeaway from that game. What was that? Looks like something that should not be sold. Oh, my.
Starting point is 00:20:25 So that was my other big Colts takeaway. They sold that? Yes. At the Colts Stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well. It's worked for generations.
Starting point is 00:20:36 We're just here trying to enjoy it. We hope you all will join us throughout the year. And let's go. I hope I'm as youthful as Pete Carroll is at his age. He's a young 73. He is a young 73. He is spry. I wouldn't fight him.

Starting point is 00:21:25 Watson said she wasn't very happy. Was acting always something you were going to do? I was using acting as a way of escaping to feel free. My parents, it wasn't just the divorce. It was just like the continuing situation of living between two different houses. and two different lives and two different sets of values, the career and the life that looks like the dream.

Well, hey, let me tell you something real quick.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Before we start the show, right? I know before we get serious, I just want to let you know, I would have ran you over, boy. Nah, you got me, right? Hey, come on, now. Come on, now. All right, let's welcome to the show. Bike and safety, Josh Mattel us.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Bike is right now, your third in takeaways, third and passing defense, fourth and past differential, sixth in total defense. What was it like? out there because it happened in the flurry. You get a pick six. You get a strip, a scoop and score. And you guys were just taking the ball away.
Starting point is 00:25:17 And then the office would go right out there and put seven on the board. It seems like, damn, I don't know if you've ever been a part of something as far of a defense is concerned that where you took the ball away and it looked so easy, so effortless doing it. No, I've never been apart of nothing like that. Like, that was crazy. You talk about complimentary football, like, that was all of that. And within like two, two series, it was crazy.
Starting point is 00:25:45 Like, it was back-to-back plays. And I almost felt like practice, like watching it. Like, you know how in practice. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't talk about my team like that, man. No, I'm about to just explain. Let me explain it. You know how I practice when, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:01 coach is telling you to do some, you know, you're doing the individuals, you know, you practice and then now it's practice and you're doing the same thing. You know what's coming. And, you know, you're able to do things you ain't able to do if you don't know what's coming. And he, you know, we were making plays, especially Isaiah Rogers, obviously, the man of the hour. He was making plays that it was just like, dang, like, you don't see plays like that unless it's practice.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Like, I'm surprised like he's getting this off on the NFL Sunday. But, no, man, that's the kind of defense we play, man. You never know who it's going to be. But, you know, the way we play defense and the way we cause havoc, you know, anybody bound to have a day like that on defense. What? Hey, listen. Go ahead, Ocho. No, I'm going to say, listen, I watched that game. I was hurt. Josh, I'm not, I was hurt. Obviously, I knew I knew Burrell was out. So I felt good. I felt good about Browning coming in because he's been in before when Burrow went down and, you know, he did pretty well. But obviously, what you guys were able to do defensively, I'm not, forget the
Starting point is 00:26:58 offense. I'm talking about the defense because that you, you, Isaiah Rogers, that, that front in, man, you guys were all over the place and actually dominated the game for all four quarters. at some point, I don't even know why I had to believe that we even had a chance to win, but what you guys showed the other night with Brian Flores, his creativity and what he does exotically defensively and having the personnel to be able to do some of the things he wants to do, man, it was a beautiful sight to see, a beautiful sight to see. Yeah, man, when you can put it all together like that, especially on Game Day, you know, we talk about it, you know, we preach it every week and, you know, for us to come and do that,
Starting point is 00:27:34 especially after a loss and the way, you know, we gave up 200, the rest of your as a week before, you know, and that's not, that's not the way we play defense in Minnesota. So, you know, for us to come back, we can practice, going hard, head down, grinding, and for us to come out Sunday and, you know, put that out there for everybody to watch. And that's on tape now, you know, for the rest of the season. It was special. We mentioned, I think you guys have five turnovers that to have, Isaiah Rogers. He get a long pick six, and then he gives a punchout, scoop and score.
Starting point is 00:28:02 And then he gets, it's like another punchout. And it seemed like this is just happening back to back to back. And you're about looking like, damn, boy, what did you have to eat for breakfast? Yeah, it's crazy, too. I walked up to him after one of his plays. I think it was after the force fumble, and he picked that up and scored. And I grabbed his hands. I said, whatever you got, let me get some of that.
Starting point is 00:28:26 And, hey, lo and behold, the Lord bless me with a kid. That boy came right in my lap. I said, okay, he really has something. I don't know what he had and what his routine was last week, but I've been close to his hip this week. I'm going to do the same. Obviously, you guys go to Dublin, you play the Steelers in Ireland. You're excited about, I mean, you know anything about Ireland other than, hey, is it the UK?
Starting point is 00:28:49 I mean, but have you ever been to Ireland? Are you excited about playing in Ireland? No, we've done the London thing a couple times, but I've never been to Ireland. Don't know too much about the culture. Obviously, I know a little bit, but for me it's going to be a first, something that I did want to, want to experience some time in my life, you know, just traveling and exploring the world. But, yeah, it's going to be a unique experience. Yeah, I'm packing up, just finished doing a little bit of that, man.
Starting point is 00:29:19 We head out tomorrow. It's crazy, man. So you got to get used to that time difference. And we actually playing two games overseas back to back. So y'all staying over there, right? Yeah, we're staying over there. We head to London on Monday, so it's going to be crazy. It's going to be crazy.
Starting point is 00:29:37 It's going to be dope. I mean, obviously, I've been to Ireland many times to watch soccer matches, so I'm not sure how much free time you guys do have. Obviously, you're going that far, but when you go somewhere that far, you obviously want to get out and at least venture out. For sure.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Experience the culture. I'm not sure how much, you know, leeway and leash. Yeah. Give me you guys. We'll get a little bit. Huh? We'll get a little bit. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:29:58 You're going to like it. You're going to like it. I can't say it right now on the show on some of the things that you can enjoy and do, but I'm going to text you. I'm a text you. Bad, bad, bad. I mean, right, since you're going to
Starting point is 00:30:08 Ireland, you can't have a pint. So you can't do that. So that's all. I don't know how much you're going to get an opportunity to do in Ireland, but you probably get something to do in London because you guys get, you know, you leave on Monday. Tuesday is your off day. So that probably be the day that you get an opportunity to go see big Ben or, you know, really. Yeah. You get an opportunity to get around the city. Yeah, to take into some of that. You, JJ goes down. Obviously, had a great game, game one. It didn't play well the first half, but then he comes out, plays like gang busters in the second half against Chicago, and you guys win that ball game. The second game didn't go quite so well.
Starting point is 00:30:43 He gets Nick, in comes cars and wins. How gratified it is to have a veteran that that has won a lot of games in this league, played for a number of years, and you know, like, you know what, we've got to play at our level. Let's make it easy on him. If we can get an opportunity to get our hands on some balls, let's take, let's take the football away. Let's get a couple of scoopings going.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Let's get a pick six. Let's do something to make it. easy so for our team but you got a veteran guy what was it like watching what he was able to do with the opportunity that you guys presented it yeah man it was nice man as a defense when you can you know you can help out the offense you can play complimentary football and you get a a vet in there that understands you know a time of possession and just understands how to work the NFL NFL game and the ebbs and flows of you know football game it's uh it's uh it's a It allows you to play with a different kind of, you know, hunger and calmness on defense.
Starting point is 00:31:43 Obviously, you know, we knew we had to step up and we know we're going to have to step up moving forward. Just understanding, you know, we got a backup quarterback in now and we still have a young quarterback when JJ does get back healthy. The defense is going to have to step up big. But to see Carson Wentz come in, man, and just instantly, you know, click back to, you know, his prime. It was special. You get Jordan Addison back this week. So now, hey, people are going to have to pay a day. All of a sudden, you can't double the triple, Jetta.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Now you got to pay attention because Addison, a burner can make plays, catch after, you know, running catch, get deep. What's it going to be like to get this addition back to your offense? Man, that's a one-to-one guy, man. He's a big play, explosive. I mean, you talk about having two number one wide receivers on your team. and being able to use what they do well at a high clip. It's crazy, man.
Starting point is 00:32:41 K.O., when he has both of them at his hand, he can do whatever, man. So definitely, you talk about having a quarterback, a young quarterback, or a backup veteran quarterback, having a guy like that to throw two and 18 on the other side, man, you really can't go wrong, man. And you hand the ball off Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones. Hey, man, that looked like a winning offense to me. Let me ask you this, bro. How long have you been to, how many years you've been there?
Starting point is 00:33:05 in the league. This year six. So you're the right person to ask. Six years in the league. Give me your five toughest defenders that you've had to face, that your defense have had to face. Receivers, excuse me. Receivers.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Receivers. Ooh. Five toughest. I would say Jamar Chase has been up there just because the tension you got a, you got to have. Better know where he's at. Yeah, because, you know, he's one play. and, you know, he could change a whole game.
Starting point is 00:33:37 On the Rase Brown, the Lions, we see him twice a year. You know, great scheme, but he got great, great, he's a great player, too. And out of the brakes, man, damn. Yeah, I'm about to say, he's very efficient. He's getting in and out. He's getting in and out, man. And he do a lot of the dirty work, too. Puka at the Rams.
Starting point is 00:33:57 Man, we played him twice last year. He was giving us work. I ain't going to lie. He, he, I think he's a pretty good receiver. Just being able to use your physical tools, but still being able to use your agility at the same time, man, and being able to produce for your offense. I think Kuka does it really well.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Obviously, Devonte Adams, I would probably say number one on that list. Wow, yeah, because you saw him for two, you saw him twice a year. Yeah, coming into the league, he gave my first touchdown. And he was talking cash after I was like, yeah, I should have never mess with him. But, yeah, yeah, I would say number one on that list right now. Obviously, besides the guy, I go against every day in practice, is definitely Devante. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, Jeddettos, yeah, Jeddahs, he's a different breed, man. I don't see him do some crazy stuff. You know, practice, you know, you see a different animal. And that's what I tell people. You think about what they do in the game. You ought to see them in practice. Oh, my gosh. You like that.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Did he just do that? Crazy. Off the porch. I'm talking, we rookies. We same class. Off the porch. I'm like, you sure this guy in the same class to me? He's like, he working, too?
Starting point is 00:35:05 Like, he's killing me. He's killing. You got to thank you episode, Joe? I was going to ask you, obviously, with the next game coming up, based on, I'm not sure if you guys have watched film already, or any type of homework. Are there anything coming up in this next game that you guys think you have to worry about
Starting point is 00:35:24 or that you have to be sure of to make sure that you don't allow to ensure that you guys play just as well as you did against my bangles? what do you think you have to worry about in this next week's opponent, offensive? Yeah, for one, you think about just a Mike Tomlin coach team. You think about a gritty, a very physical discipline, discipline football team. So, you know, you add that with Aaron Rogers, a 21-year vet, who's elite with his passing ability and his football IQ, you know, it's going to be hard for us to find a way for them to make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:36:02 You know, on our end, we can't make mistakes. So that's going to be a big key to the game is executing and not giving them easy stuff, not missing, missing assignments, missing blitzes and messing up coverages, making sure everybody in their spots and executing the game plan. Because, you know, those two very experienced people you're going against and you can't afford to give them anything to keep them in the game because once that fourth quarter hit, you know, that's when they superpowers start to show. But, yeah, they have very physical team, but if we take it to them,
Starting point is 00:36:32 man from the get-go, I think we'll be in the right spot. What is the biggest difference between Coach Flores and your previous defensive coordinator? Oh, man, I think for me and just getting a no-flow over these years, I mean, I was with the other defense coordinator for a year, but with flow and getting and knowing this over these years, I think it's just his ability to understand not only players, but the game and put those two together. like he understands what this defense does well
Starting point is 00:37:04 and what each player can do in this defense well. And it's not, yeah, it's not a matter of having a player who's great just because, you know, the stats and the combine says is this because he fits this defense and his abilities will highlight very well. And it's almost like a receiver. You're not going to put a slot receiver at the X. He ain't going to get open. So, you know, he understands how to move us around
Starting point is 00:37:30 and have us do what we like to do really well, but still make it look different. You see what he said? Josh, if I can get offensive coordinators, right, to understand exactly what you just said, they have egos. They have egos. So they just call the plays
Starting point is 00:37:48 and expect to put the receivers in certain positions and just go make the play, make it work. Instead of understanding each player. Who you got, you know. Understanding what you got, understanding what they're good at, putting them in positions to make plays where it comes to their strengths and not their weaknesses,
Starting point is 00:38:06 then the game is simplified if you just do that. Yep. We'll even play more people than normal. You know, we'll rotate, especially in that front seven, we're rotating guys on a different person down the distances, whether it's passing downs, run downs. If you could play the run, you're going to be in on run downs. If you could rush the pass or pass it, you're going to be in on pass downs.
Starting point is 00:38:27 If you could drop in the zones, and we need to, you know, it's one of those situations you're going to be in and I think that's the best part about it, man. You never see a guy in our defense doing something he don't feel comfortable doing. And, I mean, when you're playing fast and, you know, you clear head.
Starting point is 00:38:42 You know, you make plays. You got to put guys in position to succeed. And like you said, Josh, a lot of time, look, credit, Ocho, it's my scheme. It's my offense, it's my defense. No, you build, you find, you know what, you find the, you build your scheme around, the players you have.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Yup. We switch schemes every year, man. Besides our life base, go-to plays, it's been a different scheme every year, man. And it's just because we have different 11 guys out there. So you've got to switch it up. Damn, man.
Starting point is 00:39:15 What? I wish everybody else thought like that, especially the coaches, man, calling the plays. But Josh, most of the time, I can only attest when I was playing, you know, week to week. I'm just saying some of the complaints
Starting point is 00:39:26 that we hear from other players on other teams, teams is yeah and they want to do what they way and we could only run the route this way so obviously you can you you restrict players from having the freedom to do what they do best because okay i got an ego it's my system it worked at the other place i was at so if i come here it should work here too yeah look look like that i don't care you take an uber at the time of a taxi as long as when his back foot hit you where you're supposed to be i'll give a damn what you do to get there That's all that matter. That's it.
Starting point is 00:39:59 It ain't got to look. They ain't going to look the same. But I will be when the quarterback is ready to throw, I'm going to be where I'm supposed to be. Let me ask you this. Be in that spot, man. Other than the weather, what's the biggest difference between Miami and Minnesota? Because he talked about 85 and sunny, and then you get minus 20 and three feet of snow. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Weather, obviously, the biggest difference. But I would say just the culture, man. you know, Miami, you know, that's that fast life, man. Like, ain't no time to just sit back and chill, man. You sit back your phone ringing, it's somewhere else. It's motion. It's something. In Minnesota, man, it's really...
Starting point is 00:40:39 Slow motion. Commute, like, slow motion, man. It's very family-oriented, you know, very sit-back, relax. I mean, when it get cold out here and it starts snowing, you ain't going nowhere. You ain't want one... Practice at home. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Yeah, it's just, you know, get home. you know, find your hobbies that you like to do and, you know, do that every day. So, I mean, I think it's been good for my mental, I mean, especially living both lives, you know, I mean, I've been in Miami my whole life. And then for me to be up here now, I think it's definitely good to just see both sides and being able for my family to see both sides as well. I think that's really cool. Have you tried the juicy loosies? Yeah, that was one of the first things I did, man. And it's a competition.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah, the two short are like, hey, yes. So I went to both. I went to both. You got a favorite? Five-eight club, man. They do it right, man. That's the one. Hey, outside of football, what are some hobbies,
Starting point is 00:41:37 some things you like to do that you're passionate about? Let's say my football season is over, you know? This is where I can find my safe haven, and I have a passion for this, and it's something that you enjoy doing, that maybe even when you're done playing when you retire, long down the road, it's what you'll probably get into.
Starting point is 00:41:52 I just got in the bowling, man, and I think that's going to be my golf. Yeah? Yeah, I just got into it. I just bowled 300, boy, two weeks ago, what? I'm close, man. I'm 278. Okay, hot, man, come on, dad. Let me show you how to.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Hey, hey, come on, we go hit some pins, man. So, yeah, bowling, definitely, man. What side of bowling ball you use it? I got to be specific because y'all go. What you got? 15 okay yeah yeah yeah i know i got i got a 16 i got a 14 i kind of go in between yeah 14 if my wrist budget yeah i got i got i got to go a little bit more 15 that's my like sweet spot but yeah man i i've been really in the bowling i just uh i mean i played the piano
Starting point is 00:42:47 past couple off seasons that's been one of my big hobbies um bacon I just picked up to making bread doing just just doing stuff in the kitchen trying to get diverse I'm trying to get I'm trying to get diverse man hey yeah listen but I I used to cook them things up too back in the day boy you go each of a cook a favor see yeah you got time hey you got that time now hey I used to be in that you know I used to yeah that that would me that would me before football I used to cook them things up but no you did come on I did come on yeah no four football. Not before. Not for four. Hey, I'm just saying when you said, when you said bake, like you put back memory. Yeah, no, no.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Throwing that out there. Yeah, not that. So how long, how long have you been bowling? Oh, I would say what now, probably now, like six months. Really? I got good fast, though. I ain't going on. That's how I know. That's how I know. Yeah, that's how I know. Yeah, that's how I know it's going to stick. Because, like, you mean, you know, you know, you know, when you, when you touch so on, you're like, oh, yeah, this is me. Hell, I only bowed 200 a couple of times. I only bow, I think my best is like 2.15, 221, something like that. I'm like a, I'm like 1 8 into 202, something like that.
Starting point is 00:44:06 That's, yeah. That's what I don't get 200, that's a bad day. Damn, well, that's the way to make you going to feel bad, bro. I appreciate that. Nah, hey, but hey, you got other hoppers, you made me, you feel me, you made me look bad at it. I got no, hey, work is my hobby now, Josh. I can't even hold you.
Starting point is 00:44:25 That's it. Hey, you do a good job at you know. I appreciate that, man. I appreciate that. Me and Ocho, we try to get it in, man. We try to get it in. Nah, man. I appreciate what y'all doing, man, especially for the game, man.
Starting point is 00:44:35 And not even just for the game, man, just for men in general, just so, you know, setting standards, you know, be in the face, being able to just show yourself and be yourself, no matter what's going on in the world and in your life. So I appreciate y'all. Man, it's been fun talking to y'all, man. I can't, to be honest, I can't be on talking to you all right now. That's crazy. Late night, night count, talking to two goats.

It looks like something that should not be sold. Oh, my. So that was my other big Colts take away. They sold that?
Starting point is 00:45:53 Yes. Might want to go back to the Colts Stadium. Yeah, I might want to go back to the drawing board on that. Yeah. I thought the shape we had with pretzels was working pretty well. Smart for generations. We're just here trying to enjoy it.

Starting point is 00:50:09 Now we have a very special guest joining us. 2022 second round pick out of the universe of Fame. Ran one of the fastest 40 times. and Combine history, many questioned that time. They think it was faster than what they said because when it popped up on the clock, it was 421. Then they rounded it up to 427, 428. So here he is, second round pick out of University of Baylor,
Starting point is 00:50:34 spent the first couple of years of his career at New England Patriots, now with the Kansas City Chiefs starting to thrive. Here he is, Tyquan Thornt. Tyquan, how you doing, bro? No, good, man, how you doing? See what they do, boy? I'll show it up, man. Man, Shue, let him know where you from.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Boy, I tell him what you from, what? True, man, mommy. Man, you better act like you know it. Boy, you're down in the bottom. Boy, that 305, you hear me? Well, we don't play no game. Every day when we go, we open the door and we close the right behind us. The gap after we do.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Know that. Kick the door down. Hey, first off, before we even start, but I want to say, congratulations. Congratulations, obviously, your resurgence out there in Kansas City. Sometimes we need situations that allow us when we get those opportunities to prevail and show the talents that we do have and possess. Boy, you show the. F out last game, boy. And all I asking you to do is to continue.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah, string them, string them things alone. Stream along. They ain't going to be able to deny you. They can't deny you. Yeah. Yes, so. But go ahead. I'm going to let you.
Starting point is 00:51:29 I'm going to take off for that. I got excited because my dog, my dog in the field. Go ahead. What's been the biggest, I mean, seemingly, I look, I know you had a couple of injuries. You're collarbone and it seemingly you couldn't get on the field. When you got in the field, it was hard for you to stay healthy. Now you get an opportunity for it. for your talents to flourish.
Starting point is 00:51:47 We know you had to speed, and it seems like Andy and my homeboy, you his favorite target right now. And it seems what has allowed you to thrive this year in Kansas City where in years before it didn't go so well? Really basically just getting in the rhythm, man, you know, just getting them opportunity, getting them reps, you know, being out there, you know, staying healthy, you know, getting those reps and challenging myself in practice, man.
Starting point is 00:52:11 I'm trying to get better every day at the little things, you know, some of the things that I'm not good at, you know what I'm saying? And then here in KT, man, they're very, they let me know what they really want for me, man. Pat, man, you know, having Pat at quarterback, man, he makes it a whole lot easier for me. You feel me? So I'm out there just running, knowing where the ball is going to be at, man. And it's just making routine plays. When you got your opportunity to come over from New England, what was the role?
Starting point is 00:52:37 What did they tell you they were looking for in a receiver when they brought you on? Man, I mean, they didn't even have to tell me, man. You see the room. You got guys like Xavier Worthy, you know what I'm saying? Hollywood, Juju, Rishie Rice, you know what I'm saying? A bunch of playmakers. So, man, all I just had to do is just, you know what I'm saying, just find my little puzzle in there and see where I can fit at.
Starting point is 00:52:55 But it really wasn't hard, though. They like speed. Hey, y'all got it, y'all got it to burn. Now, y'all, y'all got, hey, you and Xavier and and Rashid Rice, Hollywood Brown, I think Hollywood ran low 4-3. Y'all got a nice little relay team goal. We were lining up with whoever. But what has it been like?
Starting point is 00:53:15 Okay, you get there, and all the names that you've mentioned have all played with Mahomes before. Now you get there, and it seems to that he's looking for you in situations. You have one, the ball popped it out. Mahomes came right back. Perhaps rolls and came right back to you. That had to make you feel good because this is Patrick Mahomes, a Super Bowl champ, MVP, and he got that kind of confidence in me to come back to me. I mean, sure.
Starting point is 00:53:43 We work out of that practice, man. We're doing long drive drill. We're throwing deep balls every other play. You know what I'm saying? A thousand times in practice. So he got a lot of faith in me. So it's just me basically going out there and just making him right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:56 And the funny thing about it, too, time when you got a quarterback like that, man, a quarterback that has expectations. Once he trusts throwing you the ball like that, especially on deep plays back to back like that, and they're going to keep coming. They're going to come. And the funny thing about it is you always got to be on point and always got to be alert and understanding
Starting point is 00:54:15 regardless of what the situation is or what's going on or what the read may be, he might come to you just because in his mind, well, hell, the last time I needed to play, I knew I could count on 8-0. For sure. And just subconsciously, he's going to come back to you again. So, man, dude, I'm happy for you.
Starting point is 00:54:32 You're in a great situation because the conversation that people continue to have about the Kansas City Chiefs week in and week out is the struggles at the receiver position. And the only thing you talk about now is you and your emergence of now being one of those that can help them win games. And I just want you to stay on that track
Starting point is 00:54:51 and once you open that, though, all we've got to do is close it behind you. Yeah. That's all you got to do with closing behind you. But go ahead, go ahead. Look, you guys started 0-2 late. You had an opportunity. It seemed like you were going to win the game against Philly, and you win the game again.
Starting point is 00:55:06 You played the Chargers. And now you go to New York. And do you feel this was the game that's going to get you guys back on track, Because Seattle, where do I, excuse me, we're not used to seeing Kansas City start the season 0 and 2. We always like, hey, this is the first time that in a long time, Kansas City not really favored to get to the Super Bowl, you know,
Starting point is 00:55:27 win the division. They're not in favor of to win the AFC. You hear all the talk. How have you been able to block the noise out? Focus on what you can control and then go win this game, win this game last Sunday. Man, just going in there and just going to play KC football, man, just letting it loose, having fun,
Starting point is 00:55:45 showing our personality. I know the offense, we kind of got off to a little slow start, but just going out there and just keep on punching at it, you know what I'm saying? And we know what we can do, man. We got the players in the room,
Starting point is 00:55:55 man, we got the coaching staff, man. We all just believed, and we came out that second half just to finish off and come out with the win, for sure. Yeah. You know what, and Ty, when I think about it,
Starting point is 00:56:05 I think about we think about the chiefs of last year, and we're talking about the start than being 0-2 or whatever at the beginning of the season. But you have to think, close games last year that they had this year, they won those games. They won those games. They still had the same struggle, but they just happened to win those games as opposed to this year, everything's not in their favor. So now they're having to dig their itself out a whole
Starting point is 00:56:26 similar to how another team that we know about that started off good this year. Now we're in trouble losing our quarterback. And I keep saying, as long as they got 15, they're going to be all right. So all the talk about the struggles that they haven't, yeah, boy, I'm going to say it every time, every week. Boy, throw the ball to 80, boy. That's it. Period. And it ain't got to be no deep balls. Ty. It all come down to you too and have that mentality.
Starting point is 00:56:50 Hell, if I catch me a hit you, I catch me a slam. I should be able to take that 80-something y'alls. Sure. You know, Todd, we're thinking about putting on a nightcap NFL's fastest man. You know, are we thinking about getting, we think about getting cheetah, thinking about getting you? I mean, Xavier Worthing on this conversation, man. Me? I feel like that way for one.
Starting point is 00:57:13 I really feel like I went for one. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hold on, hold on, hold on. Can I ask you a question, like a serious question? What's up? Like, right now, you think you faster to me? No, I've been trying to race you a couple years ago. We ain't going to speak on that, though.
Starting point is 00:57:28 And I ain't want to embarrass you then because I don't want to take your confidence. Because I'm still running like that. But, hey, this is a 483 on the here, boy. It's a 483 on the here. It's real talk. We're going to see when I see you. I'll see you. I bet.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So, when you put that together, make sure you put me in the race. Nah, no, these are all cheetahs, no tortoises. So if I gave, so we, this offseason, you train, so, I mean, we take five guys. So we know cheetah has been the fastest guy for a long period of time, whether or not he's still that remains to be seen. We got you, we got a, uh, Xavier Worley, I don't know, uh, yeah, well, okay, woolen, we got, uh, wouldn't somebody run four two this?
Starting point is 00:58:13 year. I don't know. So we're going to take all the guys. We're going to take six, seven guys. And we're going, what y'all want to run? Y'all want to run 60. Y'all want to run 100. What you got 60, 40, 60 or 100? I'll say, give me 100, man. Give me a hundred. A matter of fact, hey, in a million dollar prize for the winner. So, can I throw that? Can I say, can I say a million? Oh, oh, hell now.
Starting point is 00:58:37 Turpin. Oh, turpin. We might, we might get a couple of sponsors and put a couple hundred thousand. No, a million. I mean, that ain't, that ain't, that ain't bad for 10 seconds of work. Who making, who making, who making that kind of money? A million dollars? No, allows, though, they make that kind of money.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Hollywood around two. Oh, Hollywood, Hollywood, Hollywood. That's what I'm saying. We're going to put Hollywood in there. We're going to get Hollywood. Wait a minute. Man, you talk about players that's making, come on, nah. We can't disrespect it.
Starting point is 00:59:02 But talk about some 100,000. It got at least be a million. The kind of money they make today. Oh, Joe. You see how excited guys get, when they get a refund or get a funnel recovery or pick and they're going to get $200 that's, that's it's, in a pot.
Starting point is 00:59:13 So what you think? It's not the money. It's the title of being the world, the fastest man. NBC sports didn't pay those guys, didn't pay Daryl Green and Rod Wilson and Herschel walk and Willie Gold do all that money. It was the title. Okay, but we're in a different time.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Neboi, boy, make a 20, 30 million a year. Ocho, how much you, how much you think the fast, you want to be known as the best at something? I'm the fastest, ain't no doubt. It ain't no well. I ran this time. I read that time, is now when we lined it up and the title for the NFL's fastest man was on the line, all I know is I cost the line first.
Starting point is 00:59:51 Now, all that other stuff, I didn't run no 401, I didn't run no 4-0 when the, when the But listen, I'm just telling you what happens is when you, when you, when you add money at the end of the finish line, it adds a different kind of pressure as opposed to just being the fastest man. Oh, I'm running for a million dollars. That does something. You just said, they make 30 million. So what's a million dollars to somebody make a 30 million?
Starting point is 01:00:14 If I'm not in season, you mean I got a chance to make me an extra spending money? I talk to him. Yeah, yeah, I'll see this. Let me ask you a question. What you think that guy can make if he's the NFL's fastest man? That's his official title. He's already the fastest man. Obviously, if you already rank.
Starting point is 01:00:30 Who said that? Who said that? Oh, okay, I see what you're on with it. Until you line it up. Until you line it up, you're in the fast. Okay, I see, I see you going on with it. I did it. No, lives was the world's fastest,
Starting point is 01:00:42 man coming out of the Olympics. Now we got a new fastest man, oblique Seville. So we got seven guys lined up. This is for the NFL's fastest man title. I like it. Hey, hey, T.C., like he died, boy.
Starting point is 01:00:57 He's like, hey, I don't know what. See, that's what I'm talking about. See, that's what I'm saying, hey, he ain't ducking no smoke. He said, hey, light it up. Hollywood, Savior, Cheater. Because you know, Cheetah, Cheetah been claiming this title. and right when it's so
Starting point is 01:01:12 for at least the last seven and eight years, Taquan, so I don't know Cheetah, Cheetah can get out. He ran it. Hey, hey. We started running that 10-1-5
Starting point is 01:01:24 and he got out quick. It's 4-21. I stumbled too now out of the break. Yeah. Yeah. You did? You did. But I'm trying to figure out
Starting point is 01:01:32 how did they round it up? How did they round it up that much? Okay, if you want to say, okay, the 4-2-1 to 4-2-3, okay, I give you that. How do you go from 421 to 428, 427? I don't know. You got to ask no.
Starting point is 01:01:48 I thought I was the bad thing. I thought I had me an island or something. You feel me? Did you expect, so when you was going through your training, wherever you were, did you work at? Did you go to Florida? Did you work at Michael Johnson's camp? Who camp did you work at?
Starting point is 01:02:07 I was in Florida, SPE. Me, Terrippoli. Okay. We was all down the training. We was clocking like. like four twos, why we as training. So we go there on. Okay. So you was expecting to run as fast
Starting point is 01:02:17 because everybody seemed shocked that you ran that fast at your height. So they were like, we expect them to go fast, but I think when you dipped under 4-3, they're like, hold on. We got to go back and look at some tape because it didn't, maybe it didn't look that fast on tape because now you run that fast
Starting point is 01:02:37 and it doesn't look that fast on tape. They got to go back and look at something like, what do we, miss. It's a les, man. My legs real long, so it is. It don't look like you're moving, huh? He's been running like that, man, since he was a jet, man. He's been running. You heard me? He ran with my daughter at Miami Gards. So you ran track in high school, right? I ran track in high school, I ran track all my life. So what was your 100 and what was your best 100, best 200? My best 200, I would say was
Starting point is 01:03:11 I don't know. 20 point high, though. It was high. 20 point high. Yeah. I didn't really get fast at the hundred, like my start got faster when I was in college.
Starting point is 01:03:22 Like my doing you got stronger. I got stronger. Yeah. Big Valora them came with Dave Ronda. We started doing like the lip and lifting and stuff like that. Yeah, that power clean. That's when I really got that first. Because like the 100,
Starting point is 01:03:35 I was really like, I was more like a 400 runner. The 400 race. I'm a quarter of her. That's why I'm able to run them beat balls, bet, to bet, the better, bet. You got, when you go look, you guys win the game on Sunday, but it doesn't get any easier because you got a big game coming up again with the Baltimore Ravens, and you know what those guys represent. And they lost the other night, and it wasn't like a close game.
Starting point is 01:04:02 The score might say 30 to 38, but they got beat up. And you know they're going to come in, and you guys seem to have their numbers, especially in the regular, well, you have the number. I think Lamar is only beating Patrick Mahomes once. So you guys just started, y'all play Monday night? No, y'all play Sunday. Monday night to Sunday night. Sunday.
Starting point is 01:04:22 So you guys, okay, so it's a regular week. You guys are, you got, hey, I know Andy got up at the board since, hey, we got this team coming in. We know what they represent. They know what we represent. We played each other a number of time over the years. What's your mindset? What's Taekwan Thornton's mindset going into a game like this? Just be the best version of Taekworn Thorin.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Get ready for a fight. Like, you know what I'm saying? Take a punch, give a punch, keep on going for four quarters. Mm-hmm. You know, they like to play a lot of man-courty. I'm just saying, I've been putting it out. I've been saying, that's like,
Starting point is 01:04:50 it's so funny. You're so funny, Ty, he just said they like to pay a lot of man coverage and right now against the past. They rank to, they're 29th in the NFL. Look, I don't know what they rank. I'm just telling what they like. They believe they, they say,
Starting point is 01:05:03 we like our corners against your receivers. That's what we like. Whatever we are, we are. But that's what we like. We like this. matchup. It ain't a good matchup based on the statistics in the rankings. That's all I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:05:15 That's all. Look, as Ocho said, they're struggling defensively. They gave up 264 points in the fourth quarter. They gave up 22 points in the fourth quarter. And then Detroit got whatever they want. They ran the ball how they wanted. They did a great job. Jerry golf didn't get, but you know that's not the version of the Baltimore Ravens.
Starting point is 01:05:39 you're going to get. So what's your expectation from the Ravens? I mean, that's a good football team over there. They got a lot of good players, but good players too as well. So like I said, man, we know it's going to be a fight. No, we're just going to do play KC football, man. That's what we're going to do. We'll go out there and we're going to play.
Starting point is 01:05:56 In your brief tenure in the NFL, who are some of the tougher dbs that you've had to go up against? When I was in New England, who I had the face, that was pretty good. And sauce is pretty good when I was out there in the wing. I'm planning against Sawson, him two times a year with him long arms. Who else? Have you had to go against Stingley? You had to go against Pat, Sertan.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Have you had to go against- No, I don't think I really went against Pat like that. You know, I grew up playing against Pat, so, but I ain't really, I ain't seen him in the league yet. But Stingley, I didn't see Stainly. So I just, I'll say sauce. Sauce is probably the only one that was. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Yeah. I like it. Yeah, man, you know, I'm looking at this. I'm looking at it now. You theoretically was supposed to be the fastest guy because John Ross ran 4-2-2, and you had 4-21. So you, like, feel like, I got this. I had put my shades on, and I was like, yo.
Starting point is 01:06:56 Really? They played with us, man. So had the 4-2-1 stuck, would you have run another 40? Actually, I didn't. So when they told me I had 4-2-1. I put on my shades. That was it. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Yeah. It wasn't nothing else to do. I like, bro, the speed there. Y'all, y'all don't need to see that. See me at ProDadee. So what did you run? Did you run on your product? I just ran it out.
Starting point is 01:07:26 You say y'all don't saw enough of this speed. I don't need to show y'all. You know, y'all, y'all get greeted. So what was your vertical? What was you said? Because normally when somebody runs that fast, when you run that fast, you're explosive. You got a high vertical.
Starting point is 01:07:40 You got a high standing long jump. So were you 10 and a half, 11 feet standing long jump? Were you 38, 40 on the verge? I didn't go a lot. Man, that's a minute ago. I don't remember none of them numbers. Yeah, I was too. Bro, I don't remember.
Starting point is 01:07:54 You're 26. I remember my stuff. I jumped like a 45, I think 44, 45, 45 minutes vertical. To be honest, the whole time I was training, I was really just worrying about that 40. I'm trying to get that. Really? I don't get that record. But I think I jumped good, though.
Starting point is 01:08:08 I think I ain't jumped bad. I think I jumped good. So you knew the record was 4-2-2, and so all you guys were down there training, pushing each other, like, hey, somebody from this group need to get that record. I'd nominate me. It was me, Tareke Willing, Kailen Barnes.
Starting point is 01:08:26 He was the, well, him and Willing was, like, the two fast TVs. We was working. Yeah. Hey, Caitlin Barnes fast like that? Yeah, he fast. He country fast. He felt, yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:38 I think he did. Didn't he run sub four? Didn't he run sub four three? You went four to five. Woo. Man, man, that's, that's fast for no reason. Man. I mean, you bleak and he's gone.
