0:00.0	It doesn't matter how it starts.
0:02.0	As long as you continue to keep putting that work in, long as you can keep moving forward,
0:06.0	things will work itself out.
0:08.0	And that's how my career worked out.
0:09.0	O-N-16 to winning two games, to becoming a franchise player for the Lions, to win in the Super Bowl.
0:17.0	Starting with the international games and the holiday games. So we going? Okay. So are we going? So you go. Dude, I was hoping, I was hoping that you didn't know anything about it. And then when you showed up, that I'd be like, hey, by the way, week five? Is it week five? Week five. Hell yeah, we're going, dude. And the fans, the 12s understood that. Like, they took pride in being the 12s. As a D-Lyman, it was so clutched because I knew you didn't have, you couldn't audible. Right. Like, you were stuck in your play count, you were stuck. So, you know, once the play clock got to a certain point, I'm jumping the ball. Like you can't change it up, you know what I mean?
0:55.7	So that was a bonus for me.
0:57.8	But playing in front of the 12s, man, you felt like rock stuff.
1:02.1	Welcome to today's podcast.
1:04.0	We have an outstanding guest for you, procured by our very own Bo Allen at the draft.

1:19.8	Seattle Seahawk. And I always say this, I was so fucking jealous. I know they say jealousy is
1:26.7	like, is like an ugly thing and you shouldn't get
1:29.0	jealous, but I was jealous as fuck of Cliff Averill and Michael Bennett and those guys. And they all
1:33.1	became great friends. In fact, I played with Mike Bennett. But Cliff, man, those guys that got to
1:41.2	play in Seattle, he got to rush in Seattle, it was deafening up there. They were off
1:46.8	the ball when the nose of the football, like before the nose of the football moved. That was the
1:53.5	greatest silent count in the history of football and also an awesome place to play. And they had a
2:00.1	great defense. So I, you know, we'd go there annually and get beat like place to play and they had a great defense so i you know we'd go there
2:02.1	annually and get beat like 12 to 7 and uh and i would watch those guys and be like man these
