Transcript

00:00 It's a tremendous honor.

00:02 It solidifies that there's no significance to it.

00:07 Did you expect to get the call this soon?

00:10 Did I expect to get the call this soon?

00:12 I expected it to be sooner, but...

00:15 I just missed it.

00:17 What's it like being back? Do you have any memories, any nostalgia kind of hitting you today?

00:23 Not really. I've been around these group of guys since I've been back playing.

00:32 The only thing that you really miss is just the Forte game, locker room antics, stuff like that.

00:38 That's what I miss.

00:41 I asked TJ if he was supposed to rush instead of dropping back to the pick rack.

00:47 He said there was a famous linebacker who did that.

00:50 He said, "No, I would not. I'd drop. I'm not supposed to."

00:54 Well, we were given certain liberties by our coach, so that was one that I don't think he minded.

01:01 What's your take on TJ? I know you had a run with the Poppin'.

01:04 Who is he teaching and what do you think about him?

01:07 He's doing a tremendous job. I don't think it's anybody's fault.

01:13 There's no limit to where he can go.

01:17 Did you teach him anything?

01:19 Did I teach him? I taught him to take care of his body and how to push the weight.

01:26 What's a guy like to do for a little money?

01:30 It's simple. I tell everybody that I make the whole year's worth of money.

01:36 Can't get no more simple than that.

01:38 What about Mike Tom?

01:42 Mike Tom would actually push me because what he did when he came in, he dropped a one and two outside linebackers.

01:48 But he also cut Joey.

01:51 No, he came in and he let Joey go.

01:56 I think that was part of his plan. You don't go one and two with outside linebackers.

02:04 The tip is what? An outside linebacker. A lot of people forget that.

02:07 So you don't think it was because you were talking at the door?

02:10 No, it wasn't because he had me slated to start.

02:13 Is this the first step to honoring the legacy that you've had here?

02:20 Do you think the next step could be the Hall of Fame?

02:23 Of course it is a step in that direction, about Hall of Fame.

02:31 I don't know if it happens or happens, but it doesn't.
