All right, Ocho. Yeah. Check this out. Ah, man. What's popping off today? Goddamn Houston, man. Anthony. My bad.
Starting point is 00:06:11 I just... Yeah. My bad. My bad. My bad. I apologize. I don't get out of the house often. I don't get out of the house often.
Starting point is 00:06:21 That's why. Huh? We can't let you out. I know. I know. I'm just saying. Like, I went out last night, right? I'm going to get this out before we start. I went out last night, and it's amazing, right?
Starting point is 00:06:34 So I was using my peripheral vision. You get what I'm saying? And it's a beautiful city with beautiful people. With beautiful people. Huh? Yeah, so I'm jealous. Anybody that actually lives here, man, congratulations.
Starting point is 00:06:55 Because I almost moved to Houston. Why you ain't come? What the hell you mean why? You out your damn mind. Hey, it's beautiful, though. I need to focus on what i need to focus on okay okay because i wasn't focused you will be we're gonna get you back on the right track all right guys check this out what's popping off today is anthony airworth claimed that michael
Starting point is 00:07:17 jordan was the only player in the older generation with some skill and said i didn't watch it back in the day so i can't speak on it. But they say it's tougher back then than it is now. But I don't think anybody had the skill back then. MJ was the only one that really had skill. So that's why they saw Kobe and they were like, oh, God. But nowadays, everybody
Starting point is 00:07:37 has skill. Magic Johnson did not take too kindly to what Ant-Man had to say. I never respond to a guy who's never won a championship. He didn't win one in college. And I don't know if he won one in high school. I know Magic a little better than you know Magic. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:07:57 Magic and I go back about 30 years. To see him respond in this manner, and I think all you guys have known Magic, the smile, and he's always positive. But for him to in this manner and I think all you guys have known Magic the smile and he's always positive but for him to take this stance this really struck a nerve with him. I mean I understand I can kind of see where Anthony Edwards is coming
Starting point is 00:08:14 from maybe the thought of Jordan being an iconic figure that he is maybe he forgot how great Magic Johnson was. I think talking from a skill standpoint or skill perspective we all know Magic Johnson was great I think talking from a skill standpoint or skill perspective, we all know Magic Johnson was great. We know that.
Starting point is 00:08:28 But to hear it from Anthony Edwards and forget about the greats that came before him and only singling out Michael Jordan, maybe because he is the most iconic figure that he was able to watch. Yes. I think he knows Magic Johnson is skillful,
Starting point is 00:08:42 but, ugh. I mean, why do the older generation, the older generation always take shots at the younger generation for not winning the championship or not having rings or not winning in the past? It's a team game. It is. And based on where he's playing in Minnesota, I think I'm not saying they bad, but it takes time.
Starting point is 00:09:01 Yeah. It's early in his career. There's no need to take those kind of shots at him well especially coming from magic that's not even that ain't even his character i think look every era likes to protect their era nobody wants to be forgotten it was so much better your grandparents your parents say it was so much better in our day i agree with with Ant-Man. I believe there are more skilled, highly skilled players today. It's called evolution. You don't think we have better technology today than we did yesterday? Yeah. Of course. So how can the players
Starting point is 00:09:35 not be better when they train better, they train smarter, they eat better? It's called evolution. Things change. So I don't understand look i i get magic's point of view uh i i'm not so sure i would have taken that drastic of a step yeah i mean that's what we call killing a gnat with a sledgehammer i mean bro you could uh i disagree with and yeah but to go to the i don't listen to anybody that haven't won a championship that's not fair and he's only responding because he understands how great and is because if anybody else in nba that's not fair and he's only responding because he understands how great and is because if anybody else in the nba that's not top five top ten player had said the same thing magic wouldn't respond i don't but here's the thing you have to understand about ant-man
Starting point is 00:10:14 ant-man ant-man doesn't have a filter not at all he's gonna say the first thing that comes up is coming out right and so he's gonna have to do a better job of being more PC. No, don't change him. Don't change him because that's what makes him special. When he's in front of the mic, obviously you know the animal you get on the court. We understand that. Yeah, for sure. But we don't have too many players with that type of aura,
Starting point is 00:10:35 with that type of non-PC agenda when it comes to saying and speaking what they feel. That's what we need more of. So you don't have a problem with either guy saying what he said and magic's response to it I don't I like it. I like it because now all and has you is gonna respond All ain't got to do is gonna respond. Wait, you asking somebody that never that never stopped talking You gotta say I like it
Starting point is 00:10:58 It's a good thing for the game of basketball because everybody else is PC this n-word like drama This n-word, like drama. The who? This N-word. Oh, you can say it, nigga. No. We gonna have to bleep that out. Hopefully y'all had a hard time taking pictures with the Oscar Mayer bacon wings. I ain't see no, what else?

If I was to ever relocate, I probably would relocate to Houston. Ocho, we might be neighbors. If I ever relocate, I'ma relocate to Houston too. Shit, I'm coming too.

Starting point is 00:26:28 And the red velvet waffle, it was so good. You ate all that? I ate all of it. But you know, I had something better. I had something better, because when I landed two days ago, I went to Grooves, and I had grits and eggs, scrambled, lightly salted, two sausages, and a pancake.

Starting point is 00:28:23 and you ain't got to worry about it? I said, oh, Ocho, what do you do with that ass? But that was a choice for me to be a stay-at-home father. That was a choice of mine, but I can also un-retire and go back to doing what I do. It's kind of hard, Ocho. I mean, you stop working for a minute, ask them ladies, some of them ladies that stop working for a minute, and then try to get back out there in that workforce. You're going to help me out at first take.
Starting point is 00:28:47 I ain't going to be able to do that. I'm team real. That's right. That's fine. That's fine. No, we just get in our, I feel like sometimes it's good to have a little break. Yes. Because we get angry and it's not good to communicate while you're angry.
Starting point is 00:29:05 So when we get into our little modes, I just focus. Work mode. She called me fucking ugly. I called you ugly? A lot of people, who tell it? You ain't called me ugly? I didn't say you was ugly. If you was ugly, I wouldn't be with you.

Starting point is 00:33:23 He played for your organization. He was Defensive Rookie of the Year. He's a stalwart in the Houston area. He came back home to get his team to where it's never been before. That's the Super Bowl. Give it up for your head coach, Mr. D'Amico Rimes. I'm a star of this hall. Yeah. I'm a star of this hall.
Starting point is 00:34:01 So, hey, coachy, coachy. First off first off you know i've been out here um i've been lobbying for a job and i'm available so like listen i'm in shape if you need a set of extra legs we need you we can get a workout on tuesday you ready swear to god sir don't do me like that because i'm trying to get out the house hey we got somebody we got somebody that gets you the ball there we go that you do go ahead i got a job y'all coaching your wildest imaginations when you got drafted to this team at the first round draft pick and win rookie of the year you have a stellar career did you ever imagine that you'd ever come back and be the head coach? Never. Never in my lifetime would I have imagined being the head coach of the Houston Texans,
Starting point is 00:34:49 the team that drafted me. But it was that surreal moment, right? I had other options, other teams that were vying. But it was like, man, to go back to Houston. Where it all started. Where it all started. Like, struggling a little bit. Like, it meant more to come back home to Houston.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Yeah. I don't. Coach, obviously, you've been around the game of football for a very long time. For those that are on the outside looking in, I don't think they understand how special a season that was for you to have. Obviously, you understand the difficulty when you draft a rookie quarterback and understanding you have a program that is trying to build itself back to winning consistently and to be able to have a successful season
Starting point is 00:35:34 obviously not winning a championship but still having a successful season knowing that you can build off of that do you understand how great your season was last year? Yeah, I do understand. It all starts with, like you said, the rookie quarterback. Everybody now, they expect rookies to come in and just ball out from the start. That doesn't happen. Right. Like, especially at the quarterback position,
Starting point is 00:35:56 you got to have a special person to do that. And, you know, we were fortunate enough to get CJ at number two, and this kid is special. Yes. Definitely. Definitely. You know, he's fun to work with but and he didn't start off that way like we didn't we started off with a rough season like we had to go through some growing pains and he learned a lot our team learned a lot of how we had to play to win games and that growing that growth process throughout the season that made it even more special to know we didn't just come out
Starting point is 00:36:26 just beating people. And I told our guys, too, you know, we talk about how special of a season it was. You look up, we had, I think it was 10 games that were in the last minute of the game. We were right in the game. And I think we won seven of those 10 in the last minute of the game. So that just shows the margin for error in this league.
Starting point is 00:36:46 It's still tight, even though it's a great season. But, man, I tell our guys, you have to work hard. You got to grind those wins, and you got to be smart in those situational moments to close games out. Coach, but you understand, you were a rookie head coach. You had a rookie quarterback. You were a rookie head coach. You had a rookie quarterback. The expectations this year, given what happened last year,
Starting point is 00:37:10 are a lot different than they were last year going in. You mentioned C.J. came in and played unbelievable. Tank Dale, Nico Collins, you signed us. I mean, you traded for us. Stephon Diggs, your defense, Stingley Jr., Will Anderson Jr. What are your expectations from this team? Number one! I hear you.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I still tell our guys our expectations is just to get better every day. We can't get everybody to know when we suit up like you guys have. Everybody wants to go win it all. That's always the goal. That's why we do what we do. We're trying to go get that Lombardi, but we don't get there overnight so enjoy the process of just getting better every day
Starting point is 00:37:51 and when we look up in February and we're there playing for that Lombardi that's what's gonna make it special right no being being a head coach as well it's something I always want to ask you there was an issue obviously with, obviously, with Brian Flores and Tua and the way he talked to him. Obviously, it rubbed Tua the wrong way. And I just want to know, how do you navigate being able to coach certain players certain ways and how do you approach it? Because some players, you can coach hard.
Starting point is 00:38:20 You know, you understand those that are built like that. You can coach them a little harder. Some of them, you got to pat them on the back and guide them. How have you been able to do that with your players? Yeah, man, that's a great question. I was just talking to one of my coaches about that earlier today. Man, you have to have a relationship with guys. Like, if you don't have a relationship with guys,
Starting point is 00:38:38 then you don't know how that guy's going to respond, right? Some guys I can coach hard. Some guys I know, like, ah, man, I can coach hard. Some guys, I know like, ah, man, I can get it out of him, but I don't need to go as hard with him. I just got to tell him, hey, man, you're doing a great job. Hey, keep it going, young fella. We're going to get there.
Starting point is 00:38:56 But if you don't establish that relationship outside of football, you just got to sit down. You got to eat with guys. You got to meet with guys. Just talk to them one-on-one. Like, what's going on outside of football so you can really get to know that young man and what's going on in his life. Like, that's how you are able to relate to guys and coach. Like, now once you get that relationship, I can coach him up hard.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Right, right. Right? But everybody, you can't coach hard. Everybody doesn't need hard coaching. But as a coach, it's our job. Right. And that's one thing I learned about coaching. I thought, man, when I finished playing, I thought I was going to hop in like, hey, Kyle, I can come coach the linebackers right now. Right. But that's what I learned when I was at San Fran. I truly learned like, man, you got every guy is different. How do you teach every guy? Right. Every guy learns different. Every guy, you got to explain things differently and they pick it is different. How do you teach every guy? Right? Every guy learns different.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Every guy, you got to explain things differently and they pick it up different. So for me, that's where I learned like, man, you have to be adaptable as a coach. Right?
Starting point is 00:39:53 But you got to know these guys outside of football. You know, go ahead, give it up. A lot of times, sometimes coaches try to hide hard coaching behind disrespect. It's like, if I'm working for you, I want you to coach me hard.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I want you to say what I'm doing wrong. But there's a very, very fine line between hard coaching and disrespect. Now, guys have to understand, that's a grown man you're talking to. This ain't college. He's not trying to get to the NFL. He's already here. He's not he's not trying to get to the NFL he's already here he's not in high school trying to get to college so those guys you can coach you can coach I mean when we grew up coaches customized all kind of thing you do that now you're gonna turn a guy
Starting point is 00:40:36 off or the guy might want to fight you he might want to fight you or he might just leave you know it's just it's a different different era and I've never like try to cross the lines of cursing guys out. I feel like if I have to curse you out, like I got the wrong guy. Correct. First off. Right. I don't we don't have time for that. Like we're men. We're working together. And I tell our guys my first meetings like this is what you can expect from our coaches. Our coaches are going to be respectful. They're going to tell you the truth. they're going to coach everybody in this room, right? Because they care. Your success is their success. So we have to find that common ground to work together for us all to be successful. You played for Coach Saban. I don't know your high school coach. He played for Coob.
Starting point is 00:41:21 What are some of the things, what's your, what's D'Amico Ryan's coaching style? Did you take a little bit from Coach Saban because as hard as he is, he does a great job of patting the players on the back even when they make mistakes. With my coaching style, man, I took a lot from a lot of different coaches that I was around. I think
Starting point is 00:41:40 it all starts from, I spent the most time around Robert Sala. In that coaching profession, I just learned from him you know it all starts from uh i spent the most time around robert solo okay right and uh in that coaching profession like i just learned from him like man you you got to bring great energy every day right and you got to be able to relate to all these guys in the same room how can you relate to them like storytelling like whatever keeping it light with with jokes. Like, it's a fine line, just coaching all the guys. Even Wade Phillips. Wade Phillips, man, he was your head coach.
Starting point is 00:42:11 He would come into the meeting room. Wade would just tell a joke to everybody in the room. Then he'd talk to you. He always told a story about you. Like, hey, man, like, we had a guy on scout team. I told him, don't worry about covering him. He's better than the guys that are playing. So it was always Wade found a way in a playful way to get guys' attention,
Starting point is 00:42:32 draw guys in. So I think you draw a man, you get their attention, you relate to the guys, right? Also with Saban, I know he's hard on guys, but the only way you can be hard on them is you got to love them too. Right. Love them just as hard as your coach. Man, you have to.
Starting point is 00:42:47 And guys got to know, for me, I had a strength and conditioning coach. He called me as soon as I got into coaching. He was like, D'Amico, players do not care how much you know until they know how much you care about them. And so that was the one thing that's always stuck to me. Like, I tell our guy, man, I care about you as a man, first and foremost. It's football.
Starting point is 00:43:12 We're going to get to the football. I'm going to correct you. I'm going to coach you up. But, man, I care about you as a man being successful after football is over. Like, I want you to be a great husband, great father, great leader in the community because that's what's gonna last. Your approach to the game of football,
Starting point is 00:43:34 obviously when you played, I'm not sure if you had any superstitions or not. As for myself, there was a certain routine that I stuck to. And to me, I felt this routine that I stuck to during my playing days would probably give me the success that I wanted, despite putting in the work throughout the week. Now that you're a coach and you play, obviously, do coaches have routines and superstitions once you get to that point as a leader of men?
Starting point is 00:43:58 Or you just allow the work that you put in during the week to take care of itself? Yeah. I think you fall into those kind of superstitions. You kind of fall into them because it's like, oh man, we smoked them this week. Like, hey, we got whatever I did, whatever I ate last week, whatever I listened to on the way to the state,
Starting point is 00:44:15 like run it all back, right? But I don't believe in that. That's the reason why, right? I think you just get into a habit, but I don't believe in the superstitions. But know but sometimes you get off it's routine right it's routine it's a routine a lot of coaches fall into whether it's working out before the game running stadiums or running hitting the treadmill right certain things for me my deal is I'm watching film up until the last minute before I have to go out like I'm trying to find another advantage like I'm watching film up until the last minute before I have to go out. Like I'm trying to find another advantage.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Like I'm looking at third down again. I'm looking at two minutes for as long as I can. They come, hey, coach, we got to go. It's like I'm trying to get that edge up until the last minute. We're talking about the Rooney Rule. There's a lot about that. And you had great success. Were you ever concerned because you see so many black coaches
Starting point is 00:45:05 like go 10, 15 years before they even get an opportunity to go interview for a head coach? You didn't have to wait that long. You had about a two year, maybe two year, once you became the DC at San Francisco, your name immediately went into that pool.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So you didn't have to wait long. How do you tell your brethren for the black, fellow black black coaches like just to be patient when some of them have been patient for 10 15 years yeah no that's uh you know i think for for me being in the position i am man i'm standing on the shoulders of guys who paved the way before me right a lot of a lot of coaches who grinded and they didn't get that opportunity. I know one coach in particular, you know, Coach Bobby Turner. Yep.
Starting point is 00:45:50 You know, Coach Turner, that was my role model. I was there in San Fran. That's the guy I looked up to, the OG. Like, he's been coaching for over 30 years, and he never got that opportunity. And I know he deserved the opportunity. So I always tell Coach Turner, man, I love you. I thank you for you providing me this opportunity to become a head coach.
Starting point is 00:46:12 And when I became a head coach, I'm like, man, I got to do this for you, Coach T. I got to be successful for you. And it's the same thing I tell all other guys. I'm like, man, I'm representing a lot of guys lot of guys yeah right who are still trying to get that opportunity a lot of guys who are coming after me to get the opportunity and I just I want to represent the right way yeah that's a good thing about it the fact that we get so few opportunities to be a leader of black men be in a position of power does it add any more pressure to you as a head coach or do you just don't even think about it and just do what you need to do?
Starting point is 00:46:46 It doesn't add pressure to me because I know at the end of the day, it's about doing the job the right way. Yes, sir. Right. It's surrounding myself with the right people, right. Coaching staff, the right players. I guess not just about me. It's about my entire support staff, everybody in that building helping me to be successful. I can't do it by myself. So it doesn't add any pressure to me. It's just I know the task at hand, and it's just about us going out, dominating the process every day, being as good as we can be every single day,
Starting point is 00:47:18 getting a little bit better, and we're going to, the wins, the results, all that stuff will show up when we work the right way. D'Amico, when you were here, you were active in the community. How important is it for you to have your players be involved in the community in which they play in? Yeah, it's huge, man. I mean, we're in a great city here in Houston, right? And it's a great city. For our guys, I always tell them that for the NFL, like, it's a blessing.
Starting point is 00:47:43 It's a dream come true to play in the NFL. Absolutely. And it affords you a lot monetarily, but it also provides you a certain platform, right, where instantly you get respect as soon as you step into a room. Instantly when C.J. Shryle, Will Anderson stands in front of some kids, like, their eyes are wide open. Like, they got their attention. And now what's your message to those kids, right? And so our guys have a huge responsibility
Starting point is 00:48:09 to the community to utilize the platform they're given because I always feel like, man, you've blessed. We've all been blessed to reach back and bless other people, right? And that's what it's all about in this NFL. That's what's going to last. That's what's going to last. That's what's going to sustain you. And I did a, I used to do
Starting point is 00:48:30 a football camp in Alabama, football and cheer camp, and you never know how things come back. And I'm in my office and I'm saying, friend, one day this kid popped in, he's like, coach, you, and Brian Robinson from University of Alabama, he's like, coach, man, I was at your camps.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I was like, what? Like, wow, now a little kid at a camp running around. I never knew Brian, you know, but to see the effect that just the exposure it had to him. Like, hey, man, you can make it to the NFL as well, and it's cool to see him doing his thing now in Washington. Nah, I'm good. I have everything. Here he is, ladies and gentlemen it to the NFL as well, and it's cool to see him doing this thing now in Washington. You got anything else? Nah, I'm good at everything.
Starting point is 00:49:08 Here he is, ladies and gentlemen, D'Amico Ryan, head coach of the Houston Texans. Yeah. Thank you, brother. Yeah. Happy birthday to you, brother. All right. I see you Tuesday.

Starting point is 01:23:18 Best decision I didn't make. Nah, it's... You should have moved here. No, I shouldn't. No? Yeah, come on, man. No, man. I asked about you last night.
Starting point is 01:23:27 I was looking for you last night. Every man got to know his limitations. But nah, Houston's a, man, this is a hell of a city. I never thought, you know, being from Miami, growing up in Miami, man, I never thought I would leave. And to be here, my mom's moved here, my brother's moved here, man. Like, Houston's home for me now.
Starting point is 01:23:53 So I ain't going nowhere. Oh! Well, shit, I'm coming too. Real say she like Miami. Huh? Hold on. You just had Real move to Miami. She uprooted her roots up in Tampa.
Starting point is 01:24:09 Well, I'm finna move to Houston. Well, you and Real moving to Houston. When you look at today's proper wide receivers, obviously, you got Tyreek and you got CeeDee and you got Jefferson and you got Chase, you got Diggs, you got Mike Evans. Does anybody currently play in the wide receiver position remind you of Drake?
Starting point is 01:24:35 Um, I would say A.J. Brown. Yeah. A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf. Big guys, tremendous running after the catch, catch the ball in the crowd. Big guys that can really run. I'm a big Jamar Chase fan also. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:54 So I would say those two guys in particular. Of the current crop of quarterbacks, who would you like? You get Mahomes. You could take any quarterback that's currently playing. Yeah. And I'm going to say, Dre, you get to have this guy for a decade. I can answer that question right now. There's only two.
Starting point is 01:25:17 C.J. Stroud and Patrick Mahomes. Boy, you picked two good ones. Are you surprised at how well, knowing this game, this is not an easy game to play, especially for that position. Are you even surprised at how well he played in his rookie season? Not at all. So whenever they, I always meet the guys the day after the draft when they come in before they do their press conference.
Starting point is 01:25:46 So I don't know, man. Like something about CJ was just different than any other guy I met. He was super mature. The guy barely even goes out, you know, tremendous in his faith, great leader. He's always – he gained a team respect. You know how hard it is as a rookie to gain a team respect. We played this game. So, man, what he has done has been truly amazing.
Starting point is 01:26:17 So I'm looking forward to this upcoming season. I done ran out of questions. Hold on. I got one We'll be going tonight We'll talk about that later Cause Real wanna kill me Man we ain't worried about that We out in these streets
Starting point is 01:26:36 In these streets You were an outstanding sprinter 60 meter big east champ Finished run up in 100 meters You hear Tyreek talk about I won't know a lot. Listen, man, I've had a chance to run against some
Starting point is 01:26:56 guys that have ran in the Olympics and bro, that's a different level of sprint. That's being hit different. That's a different type of fast. I don's being hit different. Yeah, that's a different type of fast. So I don't know if Tyreek really want that problem. I think, you know what, that's why I say, when I would think about it, right, Tyreek get out right away.
Starting point is 01:27:16 I think that's why he said, I want to, if I'm a racing, I don't want to do it in 100. Let me do it in the 50 or 60. Because I think if you get out fast enough and hold it and maintain it because he didn't have the endurance to go past that i'm thinking it'd be close yeah if they do 40 to 50 yards that's a different see that's that's yeah that's a difference i was trying to explain like once you hit that because i ran 100 once you hit that, like that 40 to 50 meter mark, man, they open up. Yeah. And you gotta come on
Starting point is 01:27:50 with it. But what I was explaining to Ocho is that you can't challenge a man in this, there's no, but this is what I want us to do. You're like, okay, I'm going to challenge you to an arm wrestling competition, but we're going to do backflips. No, you challenge me to an arm wrestling competition. That man runs 100. do backflips. No, you challenge me to an arm wrestling competition.
Starting point is 01:28:06 That man runs the 100. He don't run the 50. Well, you got to think about the, remember the Donovan Bailey and Michael Johnson? Yeah, yeah, the 150s. So they ran the 150 because Mike was a 200 runner. Donovan Bailey was a 100 runner. I don't know, man.
Starting point is 01:28:21 I'd love to see it. I ain't going to lie. Oh, we're trying to make it work. Yeah, we need that to happen. I'd love to see it. I ain't going to lie. We tried to make it work. Yeah, we made that happen. I'd love to see that, though. What did we do? Okay. What did we split the difference?
Starting point is 01:28:32 75. Nah, that's not fair. 75 meters? Yards, yeah. For Tyreek and Noah? That's not fair. Tyreek ain't got a chance. That's why it's 50.
Starting point is 01:28:42 Listen, once Noah Lyles open up at that 50, 55-yard mark, it's a chance. That's why it's 50. Listen, once Noah Lyles open up at that 50, 55-yard mark, it's a wrap. But you do realize now, Tyreek does get out fast, but most sprinters get out fast. Most sprinters are Tyreek. 75 is too much.
Starting point is 01:29:00 You got to do that in like 60, 55 meters. I don't even know. He can't beat him in 60 meters. Me who? Tyreek can't beat him in 60 meters. No. Because he going to close.
Starting point is 01:29:12 He coming. Maybe a 40-yard dash. I don't think people really realize how fast them do it. You got to be out there. What do you mean? I go to the meets now. I go to the meets. I've experienced this, though.
Starting point is 01:29:25 For them dudes dudes be moving. Because they this big. They be weighing 160 pounds. People don't realize how small Noah Lyles is. I mean, Tobogo, who won the 200 meters, he won 55. I mean, think about it.
Starting point is 01:29:42 A grown man is 155 pounds. Yeah. That's how small these guys are. Nah, that's... Vernon Norwood told you he's six foot tall. He's 165. Yeah. That's heavy for him.
Starting point is 01:29:58 That's... Tyreek, two muscle bands, man. You got to think, when I was running, I was 230. Running track. For real, 230? I played about 232. Nah, you was about 180. Nah, nah, nah.
Starting point is 01:30:11 Hell nah. Thank you. You might be 175. When I was playing? Yeah. I was 220. What you talking about? Your feet was too fast, Chad.
Starting point is 01:30:26 You know I know you now. I know. You got to understand. You got to understand what I was taking before the games. I don't even want to talk about that. All right. Dre said, I don't need camera. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Dre know, you know, before the games, I used to take half of Viagra. We don't take it. See, if you took that spark no no this is for football though that's what I'm talking about you know the increasing blood flow it makes my feet go fast it got double the dosage nah I ain't gonna work on the field Dre, let me ask you. Who do you believe is the best receiver to come out of the state of Florida? Ahem. You got you, you got Ojo,
Starting point is 01:31:21 you got Peter Ward, you got Cole, you got Santana Moss. What are you basing it on? You forgot AB? AB? What are you basing it on? You talking about all the way through? All the way through. I like that. I like that.
Starting point is 01:31:42 I agree. I agree. I agree. I got me a jacket too. When you go back and look at your team, that 2000 and that you and Portis and Shockey and all the McGahee. When you go back and look at that team and you like, man, we had 15, 17 first round picks. We had another 8, 12 second round picks. Did you realize, like, when y'all went to the season, did you realize just how good you were? Yeah, you had no choice, man. I always tell people that was the best football team I've ever played on in my life.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Like, you got to think, Sean Taylor sitting on the bench. Antrell Rowe sitting on the bench. Roscoe Parrish sitting on the bench. Frank Gore sitting on the bench. Holy shit. Vince Woolfolk wasn't even starting. Like, I could go on and on. Like, I was, and it's crazy you bring this up.
Starting point is 01:32:53 I just was having a conversation about this because somebody asked me about that team. And Sean Taylor, I tell people all the time, he's the best football player I've ever played with. Wow. Like, it's not even close. Yeah. Like, this dude came in.
Starting point is 01:33:13 This dude came in. He was 6'3". And we put him on the scale after the workout. He was 220 pounds after the workout. Wow. So, I mean, you could line him up anywhere a lot of people don't even realize he was a running back in high school what yes sean taylor was a running back in high school he wasn't a safety he played running back they would throw him in on defense
Starting point is 01:33:39 but he was a running back in high school could you make a case that this is the greatest college football team ever put together? There's no question. I mean, if you, y'all can talk about all that LSU stuff y'all want to talk about. If you look at just our backfield, you got Portis, Willis McGahee, Frank Gore.
Starting point is 01:34:12 I ain't even mentioned Najee Davenport. People don't even really know who that is. I'm talking about this 6'2 guy, 240, 230 pounds, running 434. Fast, yeah. 6'2 guy, 240, 230 pounds, running 434. Fast, yeah. Like, Najee was like a, he was a 100-meter sprinter in high school. Wow.

Starting point is 01:35:42 donations you're very charitable you've been in the community. You give back to your community. Why was that so important to you? You started this when you played. You've continued it now that you're here full time. Why was that so important to you, Dre? Because I was always a person like, I never wanted to forget where I come from, right?
Starting point is 01:36:02 I never wanted to forget where I come from, right? I remember being a kid, and I was, we would stand on the corner. I was playing Little League. We would stand on the corner and, you know, ask for money, donations, because we were trying to go to Orlando to play in a, what do you call it, the Turkey Bowl or something back then? Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving, yeah. to play in a, what do you call it, the turkey bowl or something back then?
