From the Las Vegas Raiders Locker Room Adam Buter & Tyree Wilson Denver Broncos Week
Transcript
00:00 Adam, congratulations to you. You have literally been playing out of your mind.
00:06 And unfortunately, your position, it doesn't always show up on a stat sheet.
00:11 There was twice where I watched four Colts that had to block you.
00:16 And of course, the defensive player makes a great play and no one says anything about Adam Butler.
00:20 I'm not disrespecting the player. You're not dumb. You're a very smart, ethereal guy.
00:25 You know you're playing well. Are you kind of in that zone right now?
00:28 Yeah, I'm in the zone right now. I'm really trying to keep it running.
00:32 How fun is that? I always call us big guys and I'm big like you. The big uglies.
00:36 How fun is it when you're in that zone, man?
00:39 Yeah, I mean, it's really what the game is all about.
00:44 When I'm out there, I'm always thinking about my family, thinking about my parents,
00:49 how they stuck by my side when I was a little kid.
00:52 Just having those moments makes it all worth it.
00:54 Makes it special, doesn't it?
00:55 It does. It makes it special.
00:57 You're a consummate pro. You came here to play for Dave and Josh.
01:01 You respected them. There was never disrespect on your part.
01:05 But now you've played under AP. You bring a little different perspective.
01:11 I'm curious. What would it mean to Adam Butler and then to this locker room
01:16 if Mark Davis is okay, AP is going to be your head coach?
01:20 It really would mean a lot to me. I mean, obviously, if I'm on the team, of course.
01:25 I'm going to play for whoever.
01:27 But even still, even if I'm somewhere else, I would definitely love for him to get the position.
01:33 I think it's obvious that he's taking his team, and he's really flipped it upside down.
01:39 Part of me wishes he would have got this position maybe a little bit earlier
01:43 if they were going to make this move.
01:45 But you can't predict the future.
01:48 AP is coming back to the Raiders.
01:50 Hang on. What did you say? Go ahead.
01:51 AP is coming back to the Raiders.
01:53 Yeah, you saw it. Tyree Wilson makes the call.
01:55 Tyree Wilson called it, man. You heard it here first, right?
01:58 Let's talk about the Rooks. I wasn't going to ask you about them.
02:01 But let's be honest. Tyree, he's impressed me in a couple of ways.
02:05 Football IQ is very high. And second of all, no quit.
02:09 He just kept working harder, working harder.
02:11 And now he's impacting the ballgame. How impressed are you with the Rooks?
02:15 I'm really impressed. And I'm very impressed because--
02:19 You better get over here, Rook. He's bragging about you.
02:21 That's my dog. That's my dog. Real dog right here.
02:25 That's my boy.
02:27 He helped me develop in the interior.
02:31 I ask him questions every day.
02:33 As a veteran, he always got some nuggets to throw out there to help my game go up.
02:37 So it's all kudos to him and the coaches.
02:39 Tyree, how much has it meant to you, though,
02:42 not only is he a great football player and playing so well,
02:45 he's a great guy, he's taking you under his wing, he's been a big brother.
02:49 How important has that been to you?
02:51 That's important. He came in right away.
02:54 I didn't know him, he didn't know me.
02:57 Us just having that connection from Texas, we built the relationship.
03:01 He took me under his wing, he started coaching me,
03:04 helping me see the small details of my game,
03:08 and keep growing each and every week.
03:11 Awesome. And so, again, that's more Adam Butler.
03:15 Not only playing great on the field, but a leader in the locker room.
03:18 That's just part of my job, I guess.
03:21 I think that's something they expected me to be here.
03:24 I hope I can be there for this team next year, I really do.
03:27 I like this place.
03:30 I couldn't really ask for anything better.
03:33 But Tyree, his growth, especially from week one.
03:39 He struggled early on.
03:42 The fans were literally destroying him.
03:45 I really wanted it to turn around for him.
03:48 He's done his part to do that.
03:51 He's earned every bit of success.
03:53 He's impressed me with his work ethic and his character.
03:56 He's not only a good football player, he's a good kid.
03:59 Good dude. That's why I'm glad to see him.
04:02 Thank you, man. You're always so good to me.
