 Fox has been great, man, great people. They've been good to me. We've got great chemistry on the show, and you're going to keep it going in this 2022 season, lot to be excited about, and very thankful for the opportunities on all the courts. You talk about your prep. I saw someone you were like, hey, I'm a journalist now. I've got to prepare. Yeah, that's my joke around the house. Tell my wife I'm preparing like I'm a journalist, even though I didn't major in that, and that wasn't my profession. This was my profession, professional sports, but it's amazing to be in an arena that's definitely in the beginning was foreign territory, but growing to my role and understanding now, know how to prepare for it, and certainly appreciate Sunday Mondays and Thursdays more now that I get to talk about the game. What's your thoughts on the team as they're rebuilding, and particularly the two quarterbacks, Ritter and Mary up? It's always amazing when you're going through a rebuild. You get to scout your talent and see what really works. You kind of revamp everything and go back to the drum board, and it's actually good for the coaches. You get to really pick and choose who should be where. And when you've got the talent, you believe in your talent, you believe in your scheme, you put them out there, and you let them go. And football is trial and error. You've got to learn from your mistakes and just pick up the pieces when you fail and have more good happening than bad. How different does it feel for you being here, not as a player, but as a journalist? Or how different does that feel? I mean, it certainly feels different coming through the gates. A lot less pressure. I'm not coming in to go out and try to execute a third down period or a red zone period. But it's always amazing to come and see the guys, the young guys out there, busting it, getting to it, and trying to become great at what they're doing and trying to set an example in their own right. And I appreciate that part. I respect it. And it makes it even more special to be here. What are your thoughts on Marcus Marriota and Desmond Ruder? Just what have you seen from them? I don't know if you've been here a little bit, but just overall, what do you know about? Yeah, well, I think it's definitely Marcus' job. Marcus should be the starter. I would think that he would be the starter. Justin will have to do some amazing things to overcome that. But at the same time, you get a chance to sit back and learn from a veteran who's a lot of experience, a ton of experience. He gets to just have a season with no pressure. And I think that's extremely important for a young rookie. But Marcus at the helm, this team should be in good shape on offense, ultimate dual threat. So he can bring some different elements to the table. And I think they got to appreciate that and use that correctly. How fast do you think things are moving for Desmond Ruder right now as a rookie? Well, I haven't watched them. But I tell you, a lot of young quarterbacks coming to this league, a lot more game ready than back when I started out. So if he's soaking it all in every day and probably most important, making mistakes and learning from him and even vicariously learning as he stands back and watch, I think that's most important in the game of football. And then the speed, he'll catch up to that. You said you felt different coming through the gates today. How have you been at this facility since you played? I haven't been here in a while because I know that's new right there. But to walk into these doors, man, bring back so many memories. Like I said, walked in with a lot less pressure. Probably the hardest thing I've done today is this interview with people with multiple cameras. But it's so refreshing to be around football and to be around coaches who are speaking the game, talking about it, and seeing a lot of familiar faces. Some people that I appreciate and got a lot of respect for, that's really gratifying. I'm sure you see that. What gives you confidence that the future is right with this team? What gives me confidence in this team is that everybody's starting out 0-0. And it's all about the work you put in now. And like I said, sometimes it's always good to go back to the drawing board and switch things up and see what can come out of it. And it's not a trial and error year, it's a competitive year. It's about being competitive on all accounts and taking the game serious. So everybody has a shot. Like I say, you start everybody starting out 0-0 and you've got a chance to do something really special. We know there's less pressure for you as well, but does it feel different for you as like, do you miss it at all? Like, what do you miss about being the guy, the player out there? I miss football, so I definitely miss it. But I get my fix. I get my fix when I get to come out to training camps. And especially when I get to analyze it on a weekly basis and break down film. So I don't miss getting hit. And I did like to get hit when I played. So it's just the exact opposite. But we should all expect that 20 years later for sure. Michael, when you see offenses here, I wonder how your career, your game would have faced them. Yeah, well, the game is going to always evolve. I mean, I probably would have been dynamic in the offense that maybe Calamari or Lamar Jackson is running today. Who knows? Maybe I could sustain it. Maybe I couldn't. I came up with my time in my era, and that's what it was. It's great to see those guys continue to carry the torch and play the game at a high level, being ultimate dual threats, and being passers-first and runner-second. Or however it may come, it's about moving the chains. And I think, more so than anything, the coaches and the franchise can respect it. It's all about winning these days, and you've got to do it however it comes. Do you feel like your career may be starting and pushing the NFL? Well, I really think staying true to my style of play and not changing because I felt like I couldn't change really paved the way. And I didn't know that. I was a little frustrated with it. I wanted to become a passer early, and I wanted to throw the ball a lot more than I ran. But I had success on all fronts, and you can't argue with that. I felt like I prepared, and I did everything I could during the passing game. Won't take anything back. Won't change a thing. Won't change my coaches. Won't change the teammates. It was an amazing experience. And we probably failed short on a lot of different occasions. But this platform set me up for a lot of success in life, not just the things I was able to do, but the people who helped me along the way. You mentioned Kyler and a couple of other eyes. How often specifically do you see now in the NFL that you really feel like you're doing them? Yeah, that would have been great for them. Yeah, the offense time Brady running in Tampa. He's past first. Run second. What do you think of their rookie receiver, Drake London, and even Kyle Pitts? You know, I think I'm anxious to get out here and watch the receiving court see what type of camaraderie they have right now. I know they're big guys. And they got the size advantage right off the rip. So walking into any stadium, they got advantage in that area. And they got to use that the right way. And I think this offense and the way it's catered will allow them to be effective and use the size of their receivers and the way they use their running backs to move forward. Do you find yourself mentoring quarterbacks? Or is Lamar coming up to you? Are these guys that are running past you? Do they come up to you asking tips? You know, these guys, they may not see me, they will ask questions. But for the most part, they were some of the best coordinators in the game. And just like the players are getting better, the coordinators are getting better, the off misses are getting better and more sophisticated. But to a style way, to a point where guys understand what needs to be done, and that's what's most important. When you step on the field, you've got to know what you're doing. And if they have a great understanding of the game plan, they've got a chance of being really successful and winning.
