You had the hip pads and the butt pad.

The little tailbone pad.

So what do they give you now, like a credit card and you put it in the thing?

Playing football.

I mean, seriously, like nobody's coming at you to try to take your head off in the middle of a scene.

You don't have to keep your head on a swivel when you're when you're in the middle of a scene.

It's just not that hard.

It takes mental energy.

It takes preparedness.

Obviously, both both of the disciplines do.

But but the funniest thing about and you've probably had both of you probably had, you know, my buddy Glazer worked on your show with you guys.

Absolutely.

You know how it is to be on camera.

Everything gets a little hyped up, you get a little nervous and all that stuff.

And it takes experience and reps to get it down to where you feel comfortable doing it.

I'm sure if you put anybody on an NFL field in a moment, even if they were fit enough to play, the grandeur and the largeness of the moment would freak them the fuck out.

No doubt.

And so that's what happens sometimes when you get on stage or when you get on set.

And the lights are on and things ready and whatever's going.

I remember one of the first movies I ever did was called We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson and Greg Kinnear, Sam Elliott, a bunch of cast of thousands.
