Out to Colorado quite a bit man and see the team you know coach Prime inherited the team that was a 111 program increase that by 400% man would could have should have got a bowl game if not for this or that what what was your outtake Outlook
You know being there and watching those guys get ready and perform they really infected me I mean I I’ve been around not a lot of college football but you know when I do go see Miami when I do go see a different people that you know I know that coach
And you know be around their team it was something about the kids that you know when they got around me it was just the the questions they asked you know what I’m saying and and when I gave him the answer you know I’ve been around men
That you know you talk to and they look at you like auh here it was none of that it was like okay you know it was almost like a thought process like really I never thought about it that way or you know that’s something new to me right
There and I just and I just smiled and looked away and the best thing that happened to me was my hip was hurting and it wasn’t my surgically repaired hip it was the other one the other one was giving me some aches I think it was the
Be M pressure little bould you get up in the mountains and know all hell could break loose sometime it get different up there oh oh it definitely does and when you 50 it definitely feel different so I so you know L the beautiful trainer there if the one thing
I can tell the world you know when I did leave Colorado I said that does work is the training room ain’t nothing wrong with the training room the training room will get you right I mean she worked on me and worked on me and then told me to
Go do the contrast to cold and hot and I hate c yeah my people my people is up tropical you know what I’m saying the trop the the Equator the tropical Capricorn and the tropical cancer run right through Africa my people are sub tropical man I don’t like the cold so I
Get in the cold tub get in the hot tub and all of a sudden I’m surrounded in a hot tub and I’m looking around I’m like wait a minute these are all yeah the G line so they like oh GE cuz you know I told them don’t call me coach I said I
Ain’t a coach please don’t call me coaches either Warren or sap if you call me sir I’m looking for my granddau I’m looking for my granddad because I ain’t got no grandkids yet you know what I’m saying don’t do me like that I a trying
To I ain’t trying to be H but I ain’t trying to be nothing that I’m not so how about Warr they was like how about OG I all right that’ll work for me that’ll work for me so here we go again so now but now we talking about
Past rough and now we you know actually you know mimicking like you know in the thing I’m like all right if I stuck my hand at you what would you do and he was like I say it’s a hand fight young man I said and I showed them how long their
Arms was compared to mine I say you got long lever son I say understand what you possess and every day that you have a chance to work on them skills sharpen that knife utilize all the the academic things they have going on but then get
Over here you know you have to commit to this and if you commit to this and do the work I promise you whatever you looking for in this game it’ll be right there in front of you that’s amazing you touched on that commitment process because that’s naturally the other guy
With a gold Jack at coach Prime Deion Sanders he talks about it ain’t what you do with your unit in the film room it’s what you do on your own time with the film room how do you prepare when you at home and you’re away from everybody talk
To about how that separates the good guys from the Great and the great from the average that commitment to like to put in that extra work and get in that film room the thing I I like to share with young people is the six piece pitp preparation lead to pitp
Performance and if you lead yourself for a whole week not to utilize every possible nook and cranny and and time and effort that you have into this what what are you doing yeah what what are we here for I got I got something for you
How about a 40 Hour Work Week at minimum wage how about that how you think that how you think that go take and at the end of the week what what you gonna be eating at the end of that week and where you gonna be living you GNA be driving
You know what I’m saying yeah this is about this is about bettering ourselves and we’re at an institution of Higher Learning so every day you should be yearning urging to get to learn something new to figure out you know they always say it’s a better way to
Build a mous trap you ain’t got to re you ain’t got to invent nothing you just got to make something that’s out there a little better because the iPad came from from the Sony dis man yeah you know what I’m saying man came from the walk man listen I we all had a
Walkman listen I had a walk man so good that I had CDs and everything and in the cabinets in the travel thing in Tampa it said at the bottom sap CD that thing went everywhere with us on the road oh that thing went everywhere
El on the road you crazy you hey man put my P and my CD player in there when I get that it be sitting right there on top of my pants when I get there the locker you know hey we s talking about a Walkman we everybody know we 50 oh
Absolutely absolutely we we go back before we go back before there was an internet hey when you when you called a young lady house to talk to you had to talk to the parents first boy there was no avoiding that you know you don’t pay no bills here you answer no
F that was that was a long that there baby o w boy we got call waiting and star 69 and star 6 oh my God threeway calling you conect have two people on the line you got you get set up there man you thought you thought you
Was in heaven dog you had two of your homeboys on the line at one time that’s crazy yes sir man you you you are not just on Comm what we discussed specifics of that hand like you that philosophy nuances of the game you know what there’s so many
Nuances in the game but the biggest one I try to translate over is there’s a game within a game there’s 11 on 11 but there’s a five on four when we talking about the o line D line and if you can control the line of scrimmage now we
Cooking if I can build a camp three yards in your back field because penetration disrupt the timing of an offense you know because young people I’ve I’ve I’ve come to understand what my babies is they want to know a reason why you know yeah Daddy I know it’s
Because you said so but it it you know it’s got to make sense okay all right no problem let’s go with that I like that it got to make sense no problem and that’s not our generation Our Generation you do because you were told to do it oh cuz I said so
Yeah I brought you in this world I take you out you don’t you don’t work you don’t eat what come on simple that connects to this generation wanted to know why the ability to be able to teach and reach and and get kid you know communication between a a
Player and a coach you know so you can make sure they’re understanding the why they’re doing this situation versus just yelling and go do it yeah I I I was always like that whenever I played in the National Football League you know that’s why I think I got a little deeper into my
Defenses and understood what the linebackers and what the safeties and what the quarterbacks were doing because now I’m gonna hold you accountable for it if you gonna hold me accountable for holding up in this 600 pound double team and not letting it move and get back to
The linebacker then I’m G hold you accountable for jamming that damn receiver outside so that’s what we go do so that’s what we going to do how about that you get to talk to me as wild as I get to talk to you how about
That we we G do we we G to do this like brothers and if you know anything about a family Brothers fight absolutely absolutely I’m the youngest three I’m the baby of six and and three of three older brothers and two older sisters and my sisters was 10 and five years older
Than me so trust me I wasn’t I wasn’t trying to get in no bra with them either they would be ass too so it is what it is what it is brother when you the baby you get whooped I mean I I never wanted
My house when I got 16 they looked at me like oh that’s our big baby brother now I don’t think I want that I mean he just op out St same thing happened to me my my my brother is closer to me three years older our record is
101 he beat me 100 times but that one time I beat him that’s the last time we fought oh yeah oh yeah absolutely but I I never I never I never got it or wanted that chance you know that they were my Idols I mean I watched my brother for 348
Yards and five touchdowns in a high school game in front of my eyes so you know I I I I I just wanted to tackle him one time in the backyard or touch him that that would have been the win for me but the one that was closest to
Me my seven one that was seven years older than me h i struck him out and I think I I ran him out of we should play strikeout and I knew if I threw a fast ball up around his eyes he’ swing at it
So I had to throw him two Junk Balls in the you know two two curve balls Junk Balls always call them because they was always on the dirt and he swung at them so I said I just got to throw this one fast ball up by his eyes and I can get
It and I threw it up by his eyes and he swung at it up high and Miss boy I got up to that plate and I didn’t come he couldn’t get nothing by me cuz my brother my baby brother him the closest to me didn’t have a fast ball like my
Older two brothers he throw junk pictures that’s why I threw junk pictures he taught me so you know so oh and I’m killing it I go to a commemorate first pitch at the uh the devil ra I throw a knuckle ball I throw a knuckle ball you know
Stephen A Smith you know they all throwing I th I throw a knuckle ball across the plate but boy the sun went down on him uh NE I was hitting that ball until the sun went down he had he had to drop it and he never played with me again
That’s the one win I got against him but the other two the other two oh and they would not play video games with me when I got my Nintendo oh we not playing no video game come outside I’m like yeah got go outside take my beat and
Then I come in here and yell at the computer hey you got to take it out on something man what what my M coming there who is you yelling at the [Laughter] TV s you know one one of the things you know building off those nuances of technique another Nuance of college
Football right now which is much like the NFL you got different teammates each year now you know because with the transfer Port is much like free agency you know and so it used to be a time kind of in college football you’re coaching a guy three or four years now you might only
Have one or even two years with a guy how do you manage teaching and nuances like you did in NFL to make sure this unit can come together fast because we might not have three years together I the thing about it is nuances of the game is not what I’m teaching what I’m
Teaching is fundamentals what I’m teaching is the ability to P concrete stance alignment assignment you know you become what you repeatedly do anybody that uh I’m I’mma go visit with them anybody that’s coming with me there going to be at least 15 20 minutes of absolute work in that corner because
We’re going to the fundamentals because that’s what you go on when you’re in the fourth quarter and it’s hot and and you’re tired and and you have to do what you got to do you know that’s what you have to do you got you got you got to
Dig in you got to dig again and make sure it is what it is and you doing what you do because you do this every day yeah it becomes like it becomes like eating and breathing rep this is what we do this is what we do you you trust your eyes and
Your hands and feet will follow because lyen Don’t Lie the biggest lie you get told is a flash trap and I need you underneath that one in an influence trap I just need you to get down and hunker down that’s it yeah that’s it one you
Have to one of they don’t lie when that ball snap if it’s a reach block what they doing reach yeah if it’s if it’s a double team what they doing double team scoop block we gotta go we trying to get to the next level yeah L don’t lie no formations
Personnel yeah motions yeah they call window that’s all that’s all that’s all hood on to a big man don’t put your eyes on that if you see a little you see a lot if you see a lot you see nothing I like that if you see a little
You see a lot if you see a lot you see nothing you see nothing put your eyes on your keys yeah the V of the neck of this guard the V the neck of this tackle the V the neck of this Center the one the three the
Five the seven the nine they’re all the same 135 not seven 1359 1359 they’re all the same it’s just a different hand down on this side a different hand down on that side and we gonna do this and we gonna do this every day we gonna do this
We you gonna do this in your sleep because you gonna live it you gonna sleep it you gonna dream it it’s right in front of you we’re talking about generational wealth and then we’re talking about being a well-rounded young man with a college degree ready to tackle anything
Cuz sometimes we going we we’re going pro in something other than our absolutely absolutely sometime that’s gonna happen but I guarantee you after that one two three years with me you gonna have a bunch of skills to and I I promise you you will be able to
Communicate I promise you you’ll be able to communicate because that’s the one thing I don’t think young people do enough now is communicate and express what what is going on tell you something I told I told my son years ago when I told him I said man
You ain’t got no game he said I do got game I said let me tell you why you ain’t got no game I said you ain’t never had to call a girl house and talk to her daddy for five minutes first you get to take you get to text somebody
WD TT y l like you ain’t sharpened your knife like when I grew up when I was 14 15 16 you had to learn how to talk to somebody grown that you didn’t want to talk to just to get to what you wanted to next like communication is key
Learning how to be a professional starts just in basic life man the home training I think that’s the part that’s missing because once you’re taught at home how to have that conversation it’s very easy to have it with someone you don’t know because it’s just like having it at home
Hello sir how you doing how may I help you you know what I’m saying being cour you know what I’m saying understanding that that’s a in a man to you you know what I’m saying that ain’t Ney and and warn you know what I’m saying it’s just they really they really
Text a lot you know everything they do is on their phone and that phone barely rarely does this they don’t want to do this this what I make my kids do you know whenever they text me Daddy I hit this I light it up I say here’s the communication I want
To see your face you can tell me you good but I know your face when it’s good I know you I know your reaction when good talk to you D let me see you let me see you now now now I now I now I know
What my baby is in front of me you know what I’m saying you made a me I know I know what we feeling good and what we at because it’s gonna be on your face yeah it’s gonna be on your face so Seth when you watch college football this season you
Had to see Colorado if you saw Colorado you know there were some some questionable offensive line play our quarterback was sacked more than anybody in the nation 50 plus times I know you’re on the defensive side of the ball but as it relates to practice and preparation how does that defensive line
Help better that offensive line as they go in the game week what you say did I watch Colorado really that’s appointment TV and it’s about to get even better Sometimes some people might tell me you know but the one thing I I always know is that whenever you’re talking about the
Trenches you have to better each other because all the time the old line is not going to be able to show us a look as a defensive line we going to give each other a look and then when we ain’t getting that look we gonna say something
About it because the only way you get better at this game we know and love is working at it because now I got the confidence I can do it I can take that step because I know you behind me and I know we gonna put our hands on and when
We going to get to that next level and then I know I’m going stab and look back because I know I got the protect double help protection the different things that you have to do to protect your quarterback you know cuz sometimes I watch people just ran
Through like man thing I do is just stab and look come on let’s play the game we play and ain’t nothing other the numbers numbers game they’re right there either they coming or they not so look at him stab the dline you and the guard got him locked
Up now look back no don’t don’t stick your nose in there and go crazy but is it really that simple is it really that simple that they coming or not yeah I got one for you is it that simple as a SL a slant yeah there a post to post is
A take off a takeoff yeah you know we watch the Pittsburgh Steeler kids playing on the professional level getting millions of dollars won’t even come off the ball it’s a blessing to play this game do not throw your blessings away the good lawy said a long time ago when I
Give you a talent if you don’t use it I take it away m better stop playing better stop playing right there better stop playing so you know you say it’s a blessing to play this game it’s also a blessing to coach and Coach Prime has made no secrets about he would love to
Have Sapp daddy Warren Sapp in Colorado what what’s what’s going on with that bro listen it’s December right now November and December is what they remember got a couple more you know screws to tighten down a couple more things to and I still have something to
