00:00 When I first got into the league in '97 it was with the Eagles
00:04 and one of my jobs as a young coach was cutting up
00:08 all the green bays offense. At that time it was homegrown, it was far
00:12 I had to cut up Sanford. There was like six teams that

01:24 and that goes all the way back to Ron Wolfe and
01:28 a credit to everyone that was involved in that process.
01:32 Ted Thompson, late Ted Thompson, that was
