People, especially after the Friday Nights game, people were mad at Grissom for not running the bases hard. But the dude's coming off a bad hamster.
**Craig Carton** (0:06)
No, no excuse for not running hard.
**Willie Colon** (0:07)
I get it, but like...
**Craig Carton** (0:08)
Sorry, Willie Colon. That's the one thing that pisses people off. You make a lot of money to play sports. You better at least show some effort.
**Willie Colon** (0:15)
I get that.
**Craig Carton** (0:16)
You can't excuse that, Willie Colon.
**Willie Colon** (0:18)
As a ball player, when something's dinged and you're in...
**Craig Carton** (0:22)
Yeah?
**Willie Colon** (0:22)
You kind of have a little...
**Craig Carton** (0:24)
So let me ask you a question. If you're playing left tackle, and you guys are down by 30 and you're coming off a little knee thing, and you know it's a student army right, student body right, excuse me, and it don't matter what you do on the left side because that guy's never getting to the ball carrier, you might have been like...
**Willie Colon** (0:42)
If you don't think guys take plays off...
**Craig Carton** (0:45)
I'm asking.
**Willie Colon** (0:45)
I'm telling you it happens.
**Craig Carton** (0:46)
Did you make that sound?
**Willie Colon** (0:48)
Not that sound. I don't make that after H sound.
**Craig Carton** (0:51)
Did you accidentally fall down on contact, that kind of thing?
**Willie Colon** (0:53)
No, but I'm saying guys preserve themselves in battle. It happens.
**Craig Carton** (0:57)
Got it. So you know you're not involved in the play at all.
Mid-fourth quarter you're tired.
**Willie Colon** (1:03)
And the third base coach was waving them in, signaling them in.
**Craig Carton** (1:05)
Can I ask you a dumb question?
And I apologize. I know this is going to be... It's an offensive question as well. And I'm acknowledging that, but I think at this stage of our friendship, I can ask you a dumb offensive question.
**Willie Colon** (1:15)
I'm okay with it.
**Craig Carton** (1:16)
I don't understand, with all the working out that you guys do.
**Willie Colon** (1:20)
Football players.
**Craig Carton** (1:21)
Well, specifically linemen.
**Willie Colon** (1:23)
Athletes?
**Craig Carton** (1:23)
You never have to run anywhere.
**Willie Colon** (1:25)
We do run. What do you mean?
**Craig Carton** (1:26)
You don't run.
**Willie Colon** (1:27)
What do you mean?
**Craig Carton** (1:28)
You're blocking. You're in a five square foot box. We work in a five yard box.
**Willie Colon** (1:33)
What do you think? Screens? So you think we have to, we always, they call it chasing the play. We always have to run there and do stuff.
**Craig Carton** (1:38)
In reality, you're never really running.
**Willie Colon** (1:40)
Well, there's no, in our job description, we have to run routes.
**Craig Carton** (1:43)
I understand that. That's why I'm not picking on wide receivers. I'm picking on you.
**Willie Colon** (1:47)
The game's evolving. Peneo Sewell.
**Craig Carton** (1:49)
Fair enough. He's a one of one, Peneo Sewell, okay?
Here's my question.
**Willie Colon** (1:55)
I'm saying we can run routes.
**Craig Carton** (1:55)
Here's what I, and I, it's offensive and I acknowledge that. I have always tried to figure out, and I can't quite wrap my head around it.
**Willie Colon** (2:03)
What?
**Craig Carton** (2:04)
I don't understand why you're tired.
**Willie Colon** (2:07)
What do you mean why we're tired?
**Craig Carton** (2:08)
I don't get that. You never have to run anywhere.
**Willie Colon** (2:11)
You just got tapped out by the guy with one arm. You asked me why we're tired?
**Craig Carton** (2:14)
Yes, yes, I did. I own that.
**Willie Colon** (2:16)
You're going against a professional. We're going against people who are at least at their job.
**Craig Carton** (2:20)
So at most, what's the length of a play at most for a left tackle? Six seconds?
**Willie Colon** (2:25)
Yeah, but you're doing it at max speed, max volume, max fight.
**Craig Carton** (2:29)
And then you get a 30 second break.
**Willie Colon** (2:31)
No 30 second break.
**Craig Carton** (2:32)
Yeah, back in the huddle, catch your breath.
**Willie Colon** (2:36)
They go no huddle, they go hurry up.
**Craig Carton** (2:38)
Okay. But like you're never running anywhere.
**Willie Colon** (2:42)
Yeah, but we're fighting. We get the most contact out of anybody on the field.
**Craig Carton** (2:46)
But it's a limited amount of fighting.
**Willie Colon** (2:48)
No, you're not. You get a punch, a pull, and you're tugging, you're doing all this stuff.
**Craig Carton** (2:51)
And you're exhausted.
**Willie Colon** (2:52)
Yeah.
**Craig Carton** (2:53)
I never quite got that.
