THEY HAVEN’T FIGURED OUT THAT EVERY TIME THERE’S A SCREEN, I COME OVER TO CHECK THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. DEFENSE HASN’T FIGURED THAT OUT YET. YOU’RE ANGLING TO THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE; AND AS YOU START LEANING TOWARDS THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, YOU COVER THAT T.E. AND MAKE HIM INELIGIBLE, INELIGIBLE FORMATION. YOU GOTTA BE PRECISE ON THAT. THE OFFICIALS DIDN’T SEE IT BECAUSE THEY’RE BACK BUT THAT WAS A PENALTY.

01:37:02 - DREAMS IN SLOW MOTION
8 HAD THE DAMNDEST DREAM. WE WERE IN THIS HUGE ARENA WATCHING THE BIG GAME OF THE WEEK, AND THERE WAS THIS VERY VERY STRANGE SOUND OF THE REFEREE’S WHISTLE. IT WENT ON AND ON AND ON.
LOW AND BEHOLD, SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DREAM, GUESS WHO SHOWED UP ALL SMILES? THE GUY IN CHARGE OF AURAS.
DOING SOMETHING STRANGE AND WONDERFUL, NOT ONLY TO THE GAME OF THE WEEK BUT TO EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE.
SOMEHOW THE GUY IN CHARGE OF AURAS HAD TURNED ON THE GREAT SLO- MO IN THE WIRELESS SKY.
MUST’VE DONE IT FOR HIS OWN PLEASURE. YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY DREAMS CAN BE.
AND FANS, LIKE YOU AND ME, CAN SWEAR THAT WE’RE AGELESS AND WE’RE SINGING THE WAY AWESOME ANGELS DO.
AND THEN, FROM OUT OF NOWHERE, YOU HEARD THE ANNOUNCEMENT (LADIES AND GENTLEMEN) OVER THE P.A. SYSTEM. FUNNY HOW DREAMS GET INTERRUPTED.
APPARENTLY THE TV AUDIENCE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SIGNAL BEING FUNNY. TOO DAMN SLOW. SO THE GUY IN CHARGE OF AURAS HAD TO TURN THE SLO-MO OFF.
WE ALL WOKE UP, THEN EVERYTHING GOT BACK TO NORMAL.

YEA, IT WAS A FUN DREAM.
01:40:21 JUAN CASTILLO
TODAY WE’LL TELL THE LIFE COMES FULL CIRCLE STORY OF SPECIAL TEAMS COACH BRUCE DEHAVEN. BUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE NFL’S CELEBRATION OF HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH, WE BEGIN WITH EAGLES OFFENSIVE LINE COACH AND PROUD MEXICAN AMERICAN, JUAN CASTILLO.
JUAN - WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY I WAS JUST BARELY MAKING ENOUGH MONEY. YOU KNOW, I WASN’T MAKING GOOD MONEY LIKE YOU MAKE NOW. I WANTED TO GIVE BACK. I NEVER REALLY GAVE HER BACK ANYTHING. SHE ALWAYS GAVE EVERYTHING. NEVER REMARRIED. EVERYTHING SHE DID WAS FOR US. MY MOM WOULD’VE LOVED GOING TO THE MALL AND BEING ABLE TO SAY, “MOM, WHATEVER YOU WANT, PICK IT. WHATEVER, WHATEVER YOU WANT.” IT’S HARD. I DIDN’T DO IT. THAT’S WHAT’S HARD.
JUAN - I WAS BORN IN TEXAS. MY MOM WAS 15 AND MY FATHER WAS 17 WHEN THEY CAME OVER FROM MEXICO. THEY DIDN’T SPEAK ANY ENGLISH SO REALLY I GREW UP SPEAKING SPANISH TILL I LEANED HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH IN GRADE SCHOOL.
JUAN - MY DAD DIED WHEN I WAS GONNA BE IN 6TH GRADE. SO AFTER MY DAD DIED SHE HAD 2 JOBS. SHE WAS A MAID. YOU DIDN’T THINK IT WAS A BIG DEAL TILL YOU START GETTING OLDER AND YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT THE WORK ETHIC THAT SHE HAD.
JUAN - HE SAW THAT. IT WAS BECAUSE OF HER, IN EVERYTHING SHE GAVE HIM, THE FOUNDATION OF WORKING HARD AND WHAT HE SAW HER GO THROUGH. SO THAT’S WHERE HE WAS DRIVEN WAS FROM HIS MOM.
THAT DRIVE WAS EVIDENT IN JUAN CASTILLO’S PLAY IN THE ALL- AMERICAN SPORT.
JUAN - FOOTBALL WAS MY WAY OUT FROM HOME TO GET EDUCATION. TO GO ON AND REALLY, I DON’T KNOW THAT IT WAS TO GET AN EDUCATION OR IT WAS MORE TO GO PLAY FOOTBALL.
WHICH IS WHAT THE ALL-STATE TIGHT END DID AT TEXAS A&I UNIVERSITY.
JUAN - WHEN I WAS AT TEXAS A&I WE WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPION SHIP IN 1979. I PLAYED IN THE USFL FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I SAY PLAYED. I WAS ON SPECIAL TEAMS. I WAS BARELY GOOD ENOUGH BUT THAT’S WHAT OPENED MY EYES TO COACHING.
Page 3 of 7
AFTER COACHING HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL FOR 4 YEARS HE RETURNED TO HIS ALMA MATER.
JUAN - YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN THE WORLD. I’M COACHING IN COLLEGE, MAN. I’M A MEXICAN AMERICAN. I’M COACHING IN COLLEGE AT TEXAS A&I WHERE I WANTED TO COACH AT. I MEAN I CRIED. IT WAS AWESOME. THEN IT HIT ME LIKE, “WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE. MAN, I DON’T EVEN KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS POSITION.”
THAT POSITION WAS OFFENSIVE LINE COACH. CASTILLO PROVED TO BE A QUICK STUDY. HE SENT FOUR OF HIS PLAYERS -- INCLUDING FUTURE EAGLE JERMAINE MAYBERRY -- TO THE NFL. AND ALL THE WHILE HE DREAMED OF SOMEDAY MAKING THAT JOURNEY HIMSELF.
JUAN - I DIDN’T KNOW ANYBODY IN THE NFL. I MET PEOPLE BUT HOW DID I DO IT? I WORKED MY BUTT OFF. SLEPT IN CARS TO MEET THOSE PEOPLE. DURING OFF-SEASONS HE TRAVELED THE COUNTRY TO LEARN FROM NFL ASSISTANTS -- TONY WISE, HOWARD MUDD, TOM BRESNAHAN, BOBB MCKITTRICK, JIM HANIFAN. AND IN 1995 HE DROVE TO INDIANAPOLIS AND MET A YOUNG EAGLES ASSISTANT.
GRUDEN - I WAS HIRED AS THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR BY RAY RHODES, AND I HAD TO HELP HIM FIND SOME ASSISTANTS. I REMEMBER AT THE COMBINE THIS GUY COMES UP, INTRODUCES HIMSELF. HEY, I’M JUAN CASTILLO. I DROVE MY CAR DOWN FROM TEXAS. I WANTED TO MEET YOU. I WANT A JOB. I WANT TO WORK IN THE NFL.” I SAID, “WELL I’LL TAKE YOUR NAME BUT COACH RHODES THANKS YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.” SO I WALKED OVER, GOT A SANDWICH. AND AT THE LINE THIS GUY JUAN CASTILLO..HE GOES, “COACH, I WANT TO WORK FOR YOU. I CAME. I DROVE MY CAR ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM TEXAS. I WANT TO BE IN THE NFL.” “APPRECIATE IT.” WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL. I WAS IN THE LOBBY. I FORGOT MY ROOM KEY. THERE’S JUAN LOOKING FOR THAT JOB AGAIN! AND I SAW HIM 14 TIMES A DAY FOR 3 STRAIGHT DAYS.
AFTER RAY RHODES HIRED CASTILLO, GRUDEN SAW A LOT MORE OF HIM.
GRUDEN – I USED TO TAKE PRIDE IN GETTING IN THERE AT 3:17 IN THE MORNING. HE’S IN THERE AT 3:03. THE GUY WORKED HIS BUTT OFF.
JUAN - WORK ETHIC IN JON GRUDEN’S WAY. COMPUTER STUDY. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. JON ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. I DIDN’T KNOW THAT! I DIDN’T KNOW THAT.

HE ALSO DIDN’T KNOW THAT FOLLOWING THE ’98 SEASON RAY RHODES WOULD BE FIRED. CASTILLO DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE PHILADELPHIA, SO HE HEADED TO GREEN BAY.
REID - MY NAME WAS BEING MENTIONED FOR THE PHILA. EAGLES JOB. WE’RE IN THE PLAYOFFS. SO THERE WAS A CAR PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AT LAMBEAU FIELD. 1 CAR. AND IT’S PACKED WITH SNOW. I GO INTO THE BUILDING AND THE SECURITY COME UP. THEY GO, “DO YOU KNOW A JUAN CASTILLO?” I GO, “ABSOLUTELY, I KNOW JUAN CASTILLO.” THEY GO, “WELL HE’S OUT IN THE PARKING LOT.” I GUESS IT ENDED UP BEING LIKE AN IGLOO WHERE THE SNOW KEPT SOME OF THE HEAT IN. HE SLEPT IN HIS CAR. SO THEY WENT AND GOT HIM. THEY BROUGHT HIM IN AND HE GOES, “COACH, I KNOW YOU’RE UP FOR THE PHILA. EAGLE JOB.” HE SAID, “I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I WOULD LOVE TO BE YOUR LINE COACH.” I GO, “YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.”
CASTILLO HAS BEEN WITH REID AND THE EAGLES EVER SINCE.
HE’S DEVELOPED 4 PRO BOWLERS, AND TURNED 6 UNDRAFTED PLAYERS INTO STARTERS.
JUAN – ALRIGHT. NOW WE COME BACK HERE AND WE RUN FOX 2 PROTECTION…
AND HE LEARNED A LONG TIME AGO THAT TO SUCCEED, A COACH HAS TO BE A TEACHER.
JUAN – 89% OF THE TIME HE HAD TIME WHERE HE COULD THROW THE FOOTBALL. THAT’S A GOOD JOB. I HAD A PLAYER. HIS NAME IS RICHARD COOPER; AND WHEN HE CAME TO ME HE SAID TO ME, “COACH, I DON’T MIND WHEN YOU GET AFTER ME BUT IF YOU GET AFTER ME, MAKE SURE YOU TELL ME WHAT I DID WRONG.” WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT IT LIKE… DING, DING, DING, DING IN YOUR HEAD. I WAS LIKE, “GOSH, YOU KNOW WHAT? SOMETIMES WHEN YOU’RE YELLING SO LOUD ARE YOU REALLY TEACHING THEM?” THE BACK CAME ALL THE WAY INSIDE! SO THEY GOTTA DO WHAT?! ALL OF A SUDDEN I STARTED MAKING SURE THAT WHEN SOMEBODY MAKES A MISTAKE, I CORRECT THEM AND LET THEM KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT. AND THAT’S TEACHING.
THE TEACHER IS ALWAYS IN PURSUIT OF MORE KNOWLEDGE.

IN BETWEEN PITCHES AT SON ANDRES’S BASEBALL GAME, JUAN READS HIS PLAYBOOK.
WHILE WORKING OUT WITH SON JOHN, A DISTANCE RUNNER AT NC STATE…
JUAN – SHOW ME SOME OF THE DYNAMIC STRETCHES THAT YOU DO, JOHN, THAT ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE USED TO DO.
HE’S STILL THINKING FOOTBALL.
JUAN – GOOD. I LIKE THE WAY YOU KEEP YOUR BACK STRAIGHT IN. MAYBE I NEED TO DO THIS WITH MY LINEMEN. LEARN HOW TO KEEP THEIR BACK STRAIGHT IN PASS PROTECTION.
AND WHILE RUNNING A ROUTE AGAINST SON GREG -- A DEFENSIVE BACK AT IOWA -- JUAN LEARNS HE’S NOT AS YOUNG AS HE USED TO BE.
JUAN – I THINK I PULLED A HAMSTRING. HEY! IT’S NOT OVER YET BABY!
REID – HE’S A RELENTLESS WORKER.
JUAN – IT’S NOT OVER YET! LET’S GO!
REID – NOBODY WORKS HARDER IN THE NFL THAN JUAN CASTILLO.
PLAYER - HE WORKS SO HARD THAT THEY EVEN GOT A DAY LIKE IN HIS HONOR! DOWN IN WHERE HE’S FROM, DOWN IN TEXAS.
SOUND BITE - IT WAS A DAY THAT WE’RE HONORING A HOMETOWN HERO WHO IS LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM. HE IS A PRODUCT OF PORTERSVILLE, AND HE IS THE PRIDE OF PORTERSVILLE. I THINK YOU JUST MADE HISTORY TODAY. YOU’RE THE FIRST PERSON THAT WE HAVE EVER PRESENTED A KEY.
JUAN – IT WASN’T REALLY ABOUT ME. IT WAS ABOUT THE AMERICAN DREAM. FEELING THAT THERE’S HOPE. THAT ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. YOU SEE GRANDMA HERE. WAIT A MINUTE, HE DIDN’T HAVE ANYTHING. HE WAS WORSE OFF THAN ALL OF US! AND IN THEIR EYES IT’S NOT THAT I’M ANYWHERE. IN THEIR EYES, NFL FOOTBALL’S BIG. IT’S THE BIGGEST SHOW THERE IS. SO TO THEM, I’M LIKE A DOCTOR.
THE DOCTOR IS ALWAYS ON CALL, CARING FOR HIS PLAYERS AND HIS FAMILY THE SAME WAY HIS MOTHER DID FOR HIM SO MANY YEARS AGO.
JUAN – UNFORTUNATELY, I ONLY THINK ABOUT 2 THINGS IN MY LIFE. IT’S ABOUT MY PLAYERS; HOW I’M GONNA GET THEM BETTER AND MY KIDS. I
Page 6 of 7
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY GET BETTER. I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME WHEN I DIE, IS TO KNOW THAT MY SONS UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO WORK HARD. REMEMBER THEY SAY WHEN YOU WORK HARD, WHAT HAPPENS? GOOD THINGS HAPPEN.
JUAN CASTILLO -- A MAN WHO LIVES AND UNDERSTANDS THE AMERICAN DREAM.
JUAN – WE HAVE TO SACRIFICE TO BE GOOD. IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS TO WORK HARD, YOU’RE GONNA BE SUCCESSFUL.
