WEBVTT

00:00.639 --> 00:04.559
It . Yeah . Well , really , it started

00:04.570 --> 00:06.626
two years ago when I came to the NFL

00:06.626 --> 00:08.848
Germany game at Munich . I was covering

00:08.848 --> 00:11.014
up with the NFL network and I just saw

00:11.014 --> 00:13.070
the passion for the game of American

00:13.070 --> 00:15.292
football over here . I saw every one of

00:15.292 --> 00:17.348
the 32 NFL franchise jerseys walking

00:17.348 --> 00:19.292
around Munich , I went to the game

00:19.292 --> 00:21.514
which blew me away . How much passion ,

00:21.514 --> 00:23.681
how much noise , how much energy there

00:23.681 --> 00:25.792
was in that stadium . And it was kind

00:25.792 --> 00:27.959
of then that I said , hey , I really ,

00:27.959 --> 00:30.181
really love an opportunity to come back

00:30.181 --> 00:32.459
here to Germany to help strut the game ,

00:32.459 --> 00:34.626
the game that I love so much and maybe

00:34.626 --> 00:36.737
give them a little bit of my coaching

00:36.737 --> 00:38.959
wisdom that I've learned by 11 years in

00:38.959 --> 00:38.855
the NFL . The Muna Gravens are a new

00:38.866 --> 00:40.977
team the second season , but they are

00:40.977 --> 00:43.076
already loaded with us talent and uh

00:43.085 --> 00:45.566
German talent . And we are fortunate

00:45.576 --> 00:47.798
enough down in Munich where I , where I

00:47.798 --> 00:50.476
sit to have a Hall of Fame coach to

00:50.486 --> 00:52.597
Thomas there . It's great to have him

00:52.597 --> 00:54.819
over here to bring that level of talent

00:54.819 --> 00:57.305
and experience to this team . Munich is

00:57.375 --> 00:59.208
a to become a hotbed of American

00:59.208 --> 01:01.375
football . We've hosted the first ever

01:01.375 --> 01:03.582
NFL game two years ago at Tampa Bay

01:03.591 --> 01:05.758
Plains Seattle . And we're going to be

01:05.758 --> 01:07.869
hosting the game this year again with

01:07.869 --> 01:10.091
the Carolina Panthers playing a team to

01:10.091 --> 01:12.035
soon be determined . It's fun as a

01:12.035 --> 01:14.202
coach to be able to come over here and

01:14.202 --> 01:13.592
know that you're dealing with the same

01:13.601 --> 01:15.768
level of talent , but just giving them

01:15.768 --> 01:17.990
little words of wisdom because they are

01:17.990 --> 01:19.990
much more raw , like they're making

01:19.990 --> 01:22.045
huge improvements and huge strides .

01:22.045 --> 01:23.990
And when you watch the game , it's

01:23.990 --> 01:23.972
going to look just like it is in the

01:23.982 --> 01:24.601
NFL .
