Mike Compton

But...

My mom was born in Boston, and so I had a bit of a, like a, you know, a friend of the family who was Uncle Mike, and he was always showing us around.

And me and Tom, we got off the plane together, you know, in Providence when we landed.

And so you had this little nucleus.

So Matt Chatham was telling a story last night about the snow kick, the 45 yarder.

And he said, you know, we talk about do your job all the time.

He said Mike Compton was able to hook, I don't know who it was for the Raiders, who didn't elevate on that kick.

And he said Adam kicked the ball right where he should have been if he was elevating.

That's not a bad group.

Damien Woody, Andruspe, Compton, Light, Kenyatta Jones.

It's a pretty good group.

That's a pretty good group of O linemen.

And so we were struggling on offense.

So they brought myself, Herman Moore, who was a receiver, this other guy, Mike Compton, another offensive lineman, Kevin Glover, our center, all the quarterbacks, and they said, uh, "Hey," like, "what do we need to do?" And I, so I was like, "Hey, Coach," like, "I get paid to, to block the play you call.

So that's not my job to tell you what we should do.

But since you're asking, we got this dude number 20 right here, who's, like, the best running back in the history of the world.

What makes the offensive line work is the guy that's to the right or to the left of you, you work with them so much, you start to understand where their strengths and weaknesses are in different plays.

And so when I played in Detroit, men, Mike Compton, the left guard, we just had a great connection.

So on certain plays, Where I tended to struggle, I could just give him a look or give him a nod.

And I knew he was going to give me a little bit extra, you know, another two steps in a double team.
