right y going y going fight against each other offensive man why you blocking why you holding D going to happen but you got to regroup you got to regroup young men you might drop one what do you do what do you do then you understand what do you do then hold together become stronger you actually win in the spring what separates y'all from everybody else what separates you as an individual what are you going to do to help us get better here little extra about the little things being on time studying your tape studying your classwork being respectful in class see if you ain't going to do it outside of here you ain't going to do it on the field it's going to show so if you're away from here excuse my friends you going to be away you going to be assle here it might not show Once the coaches but in the game it will you you going to miss a block you going to hold you going to get a personal file it's going to cost us a game now we say not one plate cost us a game and it's true but one PL that cost us some so it's going to show young man it always do energy if you do it away from here I got a per I got a friend like I told you your friends got to be close you got to be good I got a friend friend a homeboy grew up with him 20 plus years he's with us he all good he go with his other people cuz he got a life he lifing out here he got another friend got another group he doing mediocre over here he doing a lot of mediocre with them we do stuff over here the right way stand up don't bring that over here I it to twine now he got caught up over there and now he trying to bring it back over here now I got to bail you out of jail they ain't bailing you out of jail choose your friends wisely I told a friend yesterday I said friends your peers are the closest thing that you have relationship that can relate to God she said why you say that I said because your friends tend to know more about you than your own parents you tend to confide in your friends more than anybody you tell them stuff about other friends so be careful mindful you've heard it before who your friends are that's right you understand I'mma leave y'all with this last St cuz I can talk all day I a get to watch the film but anyway in life there's a reason why you go through elementary junior high high school pal that's levels to this I'm going to be blunt and Frank cuz y'all in a different generation than we grew up in they legalized marijuana especially here in Colorado just because they legalize don't make it right for you I'm 45 there's levels to this I don't even recommend alcohol though I grew up in New Orleans and that's what we true we we Dr we grew up around it I grew up in those surrounding so it's in me now I'm trying to Le that out you feel me knowing what I know now I have never did what I did but there's levels to this I don't need to be doing grown folks stuff when I'm a kid there levels to this Hall of Famer College levels to this you understand do y'all really get it I need to go some further there's a reason why you go through high school to college certain you shouldn't be doing on this level that you would do in Pros or when you grown you understand take care of each other look after each other be each other critics be each other's freaking brother like for real man you wrong for that don't say that don't do that go to class cuz if you don't going to cost you on first down second down all right and defensive guys y'all specifically don't be celebrating on second down first second down celebration all right don't do that they going to get a first down on third down you you look real bad on camera all right celebrate with a game over man don't get too high don't get too low young man all right celebrate but don't get too high don't let your head get too big all right you going to get down sometimes you going to lose keep your feet on the ground don't go too low all right man I won't take up too much of y'all time like I said I do all blessings man thank you guys safy back there one question you got one question stud what you looking at when when you turn on the fil the easiest thing to do is to study that go-to receiver start with they go-to receiver you start with they go to receiver you figure out their offense they got to throw him the ball how many times eight times a game it's safy you hang around him you get one at least at least one I got two that's the easiest thing to do all right next thing to do is to follow your culture script the first day of practice watch it like that all right you going to watch the first day of practice the day before right then the second day you get it you see what I'm saying you watch the second day of practice the same way how the script is first second down or watch it how the game goes first second down is is situation football is situational men football is all situations all right first second down go together for the most part third down is a situation itself why because they have to get the first down you understand so you watch third down by itself you watch Red Zone by itself 2 minute is a situation by itself full minute s watch it all by itself then you watch a whole game you you'll watch the whole game probably first but just depends on your method everybody's different on how they learn everybody don't learn the thing some people like to have you talking to them some people like to see it you understand so you got to apply it as such make it easy for yourself simplify cuz it's football y'all complicate this especially nowadays y'all think too much we don't want you to think simplify make it easy young man so you don't have to think so you can just run around have fun all right I'm going say what made that Ravens defense different from any other def what made us different sir man we had a standard so I ask you as an individual I ask you as a team what is y'all standard that was in my speech what's your standard truly what's your standard as a team as an individual what is your standard I still walk around that same standard what's your standard what's your standard whole team everybody we saying we want to win but your actions that's right your actions that I see I'm walking around with yeah I had a bunch of teammates when I got the university Miami D tell you going to make it to the league everybody want to win the national championship but a lot of people want to make it to the league bunch of individuals come on now want to make it to the team want to make it to the league listen to me from My First Year to my third year we a really have a bunch of that going on cuz we had a bunch of individuals when we became a team though more people went you look at my senior year we won a national championship every senior on the team was on the roster came the fall for NFL
