I'm joined by a special guest former Raven Super Bowl champion hard hitter The official crush boy 31 but not pilot junior and he the host of his own YouTube channel to the but not pilot junior show and That that show that YouTube channel link is in the description So y'all make sure y'all subscribe to it and but not pilot You can go ahead and introduce yourself to everybody man. What's up y'all? I hope everybody having a good time Man, I've been at football practice So it's been a it's been a long one my son's playing contact and I come back and I gotta do some technology Work man on this computer. So it's been a little hustle, but my dog got me rolling. So let's get this thing started I appreciate that appreciate you joining us. Um, no problem. Thank you. Thank you No problem First let's just go ahead and jump right into it. Oh, you know what first before you jump right into the good stuff the juicy stuff What made you want to get started on YouTube? So man, it's so it's kind of crazy. I I went to school for communications So I've always wanted to I've always wanted to do something as far as being an analyst calling games whatever may have been I've always loved it. I I love to be able to talk sports. I've done that for a long time and growing up man I have my own little show. I Had a Christian radio show man So it was funny I had breaks and a lot of people don't understand how you had to hit record and play at the same time Your cassettes so I was going that literally bro at the age of what eight nine and ten And so my mom still got the cassettes, but it's truly been a blessing for me Because I was able to overcome just my anger with football When I left the game, I Truly believe God was called me to another you know direction and I was angry with that and obviously I left my rough, you know rupture my Achilles and Had a couple contract offers on the table, but it was just like man I need to kick it with my family see my kids grow up. Yeah, and Finally now I'm able to talk ball So I was like man, let's go and and just just just talk ball on YouTube whether it's YouTube Facebook and on Twitter So I'm rolling with it. Yeah, man, cuz I've been seeing a little updates and stuff I saw the video you did about the Melvin Gordon about the contract hold out and whatnot and in the video I think you made another video recently about the PDs, right? So yeah, I like it. I like that some that's pretty much the same exact thing that I do Just talk whatever football talk any updates that go on in the NFL And just talking talk about it straight up talk about it straight up Yeah, I'm a course of Ravens Fannie see me with this big purple shirt on But on here on my channel like I like I told you before I like to keep it straight up I don't I'm not a homer got on a bunch of purple shades. Well. Oh, yeah, the Ravens They're the best in the world all the time. No, I ain't with that. Right. I talked straight up. So Question I have for you. Well, we got plenty of questions, but what was your favorite? I know what my favorite one is, but what was the favorite hit that you made in your career favorite one? Man, I Gotta so a lot of people have not seen this hit and I'm actually putting together a highlight for nine You know of my nine-year career but when I was in Kansas City, we played the Raiders and Justin Fargus was coming down the middle and we were in cover two and I ran the app and One of my teammates hit his elbow and when he hit his elbow the ball was popping up and I came when I say I Broke his face mask. I clean that cat up, man So that's probably my favorite hit off, but I've had a lot of hard hits in my career But if I look back at that one that was one that I'm talking about he couldn't do nothing, but just take it, bro And he was sleep Okay, so yeah that that I gotta look that one up because I'm not familiar Because I was gonna say that I'm sure you probably heard before from other Ravens fans Too was the one in that AFC championship game against the Patriots and I believe it was stick Steven really where you get You put him to sleep, too Yeah, so is that is that something that you um that you may show as a big part of your game like College and stuff. Well, so man, I've been you know the way that I played his game I'm an old-school football player and I think that's one of the reasons Ed and I We met so well We jailed when I as soon as I got to Baltimore.  He's gonna roam He's gonna do things and I'm one of those dudes where I'm stand where I'm supposed to be and I'm gonna make you pay For coming in the area that I'm in and so, you know, it was like literally we jailed and we got along But you know from you know great school playing metro ball You know man, I've always been a hitter and that's something that I love I don't claim the I tell people all the time. I've never looked to one of I don't want to be in a Hall of Fame I have a Super Bowl ring and I've never worn it I just you know my I'm proud of being a hitter and when people try to say other guys that hit better to me I tell them I did it clean number one and and you can't you can't find another safety as far as that Went out there on a consistent basis and just tore into people I take that man and people get upset, but I keep it real So you said something very interesting and I've had a lot of discussions on this channel about that same thing You said that you don't want to be in the Hall of Fame But you you got a Super Bowl ring, right? So do would you what would you put on a higher scale Hall of Fame or Super Bowl ring a Super Bowl ring? I think you look at a lot of these guys that are in a Hall of Fame They will trade the Hall of Fame in just to get a Super Bowl ring, you know, you look at the Buffalo Bills Man, they went for was it four straight years in a row and did not get you know Kelly was one of the best quarterbacks Damarino a lot of people don't understand how good Damarino was This man is a 64 65,000 yards. Maybe a little bit more, you know passing the ball in his career Unreal whipping the ball and has never ever seen a Super Bowl or even won a Super Bowl And I guarantee you he will trade that in For Super Bowl title look at Tony Gonzalez, you know, I'm saying like one of the top tight ends in the league and still is yet to get a Super Bowl ring So, you know, it's awesome, you know, I'm saying but I think you know when I entered is not entered this game I play football for an outlet, you know to get stay away from home and stay out of trouble things of that nature I never played it. I was good at it. But you know when I got to the NFL I was just like man, I'm just gonna play and keep balling as long as the Lord keep me in this thing I'm gonna go with it and that's what I did. But you know, as far as the Hall of Fame, man I don't buy into that. I mean, I'm not demeaning anybody that you know, I just that's just not for me Yeah, I feel like I feel the same way like with the with the Hall of Fame It is a beautiful thing to make it to the Hall of Fame But I feel like with football players like the NFL is that ultimate goal, man Like the NFL like there's no high then there's no higher high than that Right in that Super Bowl ring because with the Hall of Fame It's like I think like six people that get in every year like six or seven people that get in every year But with the Super Bowl, there's only one team. Yeah, and that's it there's one team every single year and There's no second place. There's no none of that stuff There's one team every year and if you're not part of that team, then oh well So yeah, I definitely agrees a special thing man And so many guys coming to this league and never ever see a playoffs let it on the Super Bowl So yeah, you definitely when you see it and that's that's one thing in Baltimore We told our rookies you not gonna come across this often, you know I mean the company to go to the Super Bowl your rookie year that was an amazing and to go and win You know what I mean? So that's that's an awesome thing How does it how does it feel to have had The rulebook change Because of the hit you made on Tom Brady man, so a lot of people, you know a lot of Patriot fans are upset at that and and they they call me dirty and say it was a dirty plane Like I tell people you got to understand that there was not a penalty at that point You know me in an NFL so to call me dirty for doing that and it wasn't intentional You know, I went I went to go try to gut the running back because I think it was a play-action pass So I got up late. He was on me. And so when I went to lunch for Brady, obviously I hit his knee And as I tell people I think I talked about it on my show, you know It's one of those things as a player where you know, I'm not usually grossed out You know what I mean? Like I'm a hard here. I've seen man guys snore before they hit the ground You know, so all the stuff has happened when I hit him literally everything in his knee I heard I heard him scream, bro.  It's crazy, man The man is one Super Bowls before and won them after get over it Love it. Um Now with uh with that being said You you obviously won a Super Bowl with the Ravens in the 2012 season.  How did that work so well, you know, so and that was and I talked about this too And my look, you know telling people what really happened While I was in Baltimore, but and I we communicated well, you know, I'm I love to go out there and especially for him Like I told him I'm like it let me know when you go somewhere So I can cover that ground if I need to but you know, I'm a guy where when I watch film You know, I don't just watch it just to watch it I watch it to to figure out what they like to do tend to seize of players How they like to runners how to like to break down when they switch the ball things that nature So one of the great things Ed and I did man We literally what we will watch them together and then we will separate watch film Invigil Lee come back together and put notes and figure it'd be like yo, all right I had that or he I had that and I didn't have this so it worked well, we literally meant our locks were next to each other and You know before every home game or before every game period, but we just went over everything and My tablet out his tablet out and we just sitting there just shooting back and forth And so we just literally played the game with each other You know before the game was even played and it was it just went like clockwork We play so much faster so much better so much smarter than everybody else in the game And it was a blessing to be able to play with him Blessing to be able to even you know be on that team and I mean it was just awesome. Yeah Yeah, things obviously definitely worked out that year. Yeah now not everything worked out and I know you explained this on your own on the most recent video that you did on your YouTube channel, right? but us as fans We look to different reporters. We look to different Stuff on the web whether be Twitter whether it be different websites or whatnot and we had continued to hear about a Mutiny we continue to hear about a mutiny or is the mutiny with the players versus the coaching whatnot and I know you explained on the YouTube channel that that that wasn't the case There wasn't the case and you said that you guys were were given the floor To where you you guys could have like sort of an open dialogue But I guess the floor was presented to you, but it was almost like somebody regretted giving you the floor Can you explain that a little bit? So as I tell you know, I Haven't touched on it and I tell people all the time. Yes, that happened in 2012 and here We are in 2019, you know, I'm the type of person where I have Literally had to I've held on to that I never You know when it when it when I was asked about it I would just laugh it off shrug my shoulders never said anything But you know, I'm finally to a point to where I'm like I can finally talk about it because of what was done on their part I was just so angry with it But you know, we look back at that at that situation when we lost To the Houston Texans we obviously took a beating Yes, so when we got back to Baltimore on that I believe it was a Monday if I'm not mistaken whatever it was, but you know coach Opened up the floor.  You can't just keep pulling the leash on us and thinking We're going to be able to perform when it's game time. So when we got into the meeting You know, he opened the floor asked everybody what they wanted to say So a couple you know, a couple guys stood up said some things, but then we got back to somebody says some about the Houston Texans game Well, he came back and was like, well, I have no idea what happened And so that's where I stood up and I go, well, no, no, no, no, you you didn't know what happened Because you told me and my teammate that you were going to run the ball Or are you going to throw the ball and if they sat you sat fumble ran it back for touchdowns They intercepted the ball you were going to keep throwing the ball all over the football field thinking we were going to be able to bail Y'all out. Well, you can't do that and he go.  I understand that but as I tell fans all the time when you're outside the door Don't know what's going on inside the door and what you know A player comes to tell you what's going on inside the door But you get mad to tell me what's really going on inside the door when you've never been inside the door I ain't gonna I'ma shoot you straight. I don't I don't care about fame I don't care about cloud. I'm just going to I want fans to know and understand what's really going on And that's why I talked about it. Appreciate that man. And what what made you um After all this time, what made you finally like just want to get it out? Was it something that you just felt like was on your chest or you just wanted to Just break free of it or what what what made you want to get it out now? So when I look at this thing man, I I am a You know, I don't I don't want to say a whole grudge is because I've been through a lot of my life And I've I've forgiven I I didn't say I forget but I've forgiven people and I have forgiven them But I think you know with me leaving the game and then um You know just kind of looking back When I look back at that I I always I tell them I renegotiated my contract with baltimore And they all knew we left uh baltimore To go to the off season going to the off season They knew we all had talked about going back to the super bowl And I truly believe that team should have three to four super bowls They nobody nfl was able to touch us with even with losing a couple players here and there Nobody still would have been able to touch us. I think when it comes down to in situation They shouldn't never let him go you let that man retires a raven For you to let him go and walk out that door That was pitch poor awful as far as the management and for the coach, but once again, um I looked at what they did with in my situation when they let me go when free agency started Well, I had a four-year deal on the table They held my rights knowing they held my rights And then you lied to me to get me back to baltimore to be the ball in baltimore for six hours But in a in a doctor's office for three minutes That was bullcrap and I I did not I just when players say you mess with my money when they say you mess with my time That's what they mean. They messed up my money. They messed up.  That's what pissed me off Right understood me And because you said that the the team with the uh that was offering you the four-year deal You missed out on that because they still had your rights when the team was going to offer you a deal Exactly Yeah, I I talk about it on here all the time. Um football is definitely the NFL is definitely a business Okay, um, and it is a dirty business It is a very dirty business and it's crazy how um With the NFL it's a very dirty business and We as fans we are on the outside looking in and we see a lot of stuff that gets done Where I have people get done wrong and whatnot. Um, I even I remember a on on some podcast with victor cruz He was talking and I and when he was first saying that I was like, uh, but then I when he kept talking I was like wow that that actually makes a lot of sense When with how players will have um escalators in their contracts or incentives in their contracts Like for instance, so if this player gets a thousand yards, then you get a million dollar bonus or something right and Well teams will if a player is approaching that That incentive Then the team will hold him back from getting that incentive just so they don't have to pay them Right, so it's uh, yes. It's definitely a dirty game.   Like you're not you're not defensive you you you like Okay, I'm open to learning. I want to know at the same time I see it just it makes the conversation that much better where we both I can learn The fan and the fan can learn, you know from the player's perspective and I mean it just goes over well Right that makes sense, man. So what's what's the biggest thing that? You miss about football if you miss it I think the biggest thing is the Competition, you know you for me. I'm 34 years old. Um, I retired at 30 um I I still can play this game and a lot of people say but are you still can't play? I still work out every day.  You missed the guys But I think the the one thing I don't miss is the young players, you know, especially this league is younger These these teams are so young man. The average age I think 24 25 and so I don't miss Having a babysit. I don't miss having to tell a guy to get up You know to come to practice, you know to win it, you know what I'm saying? Like you faced that and when I left baltimore That was one of the things I faced here in tennessee, you know when we left meetings guys want to go back and order jordan's They, you know, they couldn't stay awake in meetings But they can sprint back to the locker room get on their phones and their laptops and order jordan's or look at cars or Talk about how they going out. I'm looking like no we in meetings. Y'all was just asleep a minute ago Now you wide awake. You know doing what you do the babysitting part of it, man. I just You know, I don't miss that but just the competition on sundays. I definitely definitely miss Yes, it's a new generation man. Oh, yeah. Um, so Speaking about younger players um, the current ravens They made a lot of decisions recently and they got a lot younger. Yeah, I had some different positions But more specifically at the quarterback position Do you feel Even in just your time there and even before even after Do you feel that the ravens put fleckle In the best position to succeed So i've had a lot of raven fans talking to me, you know, a lot of raven fans talking to me about this I don't think, you know, when you look at it, um When joe lost weapons on the offside of the ball, uh, you know, he didn't have a consistent Didn't have a consistent running game.  I'm not I'll be a hundred percent honest, you know, i'm a straight shooter Uh, but I think, you know, uh, when you look at this I think it was deeper You know what i'm saying then what what what we were seeing on the football field um You look at what's going on with the coaches, um, I'm not surprised if you had all kind of mess You know going on in in in in the meeting rooms inside the facility before, you know, during throughout the week Uh, and and you can kind of see it now where you got that change out of the guard, man. It's just It's going to look different. It's going to be different. You know what I mean? Because the gm's new the quarterbacks new Uh, uh, the the style of play is about to be completely different Your anchors on defense Everybody, you know guys have been there, but at the same time terrell was the last one. I believe, you know on that team That's gone I don't I don't think people understand How big of uh like that culture how big terrell was um and That's about to I'm excited for what they're doing, but it's going to look different man and and as far as for joe You know, joe could have played better. I don't think they put him in the best way. I don't think they put the right People the right personnel around him. Um, so he struggled and uh, so you just they got rid of them It's a new day for the ravens. They look different Both sides of the ball buster yard is hanging on. He's there. Uh, but they gotta they gotta make it happen Yeah, it's definitely a um a new age Uh in baltimore and yeah with like you said with the terrell sucks um, it is It is a big blow. Um, but I remember before I think back in um Maybe like about yeah the after the 2012 season Um, I really appreciated leadership a lot more than I had before when it came to a football team Because I I I really didn't think it was that big of a deal Um, like when the season went like yeah when everybody was gone if I ray lures retired They ain't re-signed airy.  Oh, yeah, he did go to philly lrb went to new oralis Hmm. Yeah, they they gutted that thing out and paul krugler left too, but um, I uh I was thinking back then i'm like, okay The team will be fine or whatever and that's back then before before I had I had my purple shades on back then so I was like a ravens fan and you couldn't tell me no different I had that tunnel vision and that was it. It was just ravens or nothing Right. Um, so I was like, okay. Yeah, they'll be fine. They can get past all those players that they replaceable or what not But then just watching the team and watching them in uh different games where Normally, they might have had a playmaker They may have put somebody in the right position to make a play to stop a team or to to get a touchdown or whatever I noticed there was just a lot less of that and it just seemed like the team Didn't really have too much direction And that was really the season where I was like, oh wow leadership actually does make a big difference and a guy and experience is of great teacher um, and you can't You can't take away somebody's experience and what that can do to the next person and how that experience that that one person Has uh can help teach somebody else um, and With terrell suggs It's like yeah, he and with terrell suggs. He was he was good at both He was a great leader and like you said, he was like the last the last one left of this Like that real ravens defense. Um, that old school type of defense too because I know jimmy smith was there, but He how do you explain it? He was there and he was part of it, but it just not to say I guess because he's a cornerback. Maybe I don't know but um With terrell suggs. He was like there there.   But then when he signed with the car, I was like, wow It was a shocker and but that loss It is it's bigger than the play on the field It's a lot bigger than the play on the field because that that leadership value that they lost and then it's it's eric Weddle too. Um, and even though they they they did up I feel like they upgraded that safety with Earl Thomas. He's more athletic than and then eric weddle I'm just hoping that he can really be The leader the communicator because eric weddle even though he had lost a step He lost a few steps that dude every single play coming down to the line of scrimmage getting guys set up Then back peddling all the way back. Uh, and it just What he did I I feel like it may be undervalued Um Because he did an amazing job at it, but I'm Earl Thomas. I'm sure he'll be fine too But yeah leadership is a quality that I've grown to appreciate a lot more over the years and and losing the sucks and losing the weddle and losing them only two Um, those were some some real big losses for the Ravens um, do you think now That they'll be able to Continue success with the with this new type of Ravens that new type of Culture that they have right now because I know I've seen you voice voice your opinion on some stuff On twitter last year throughout the season. Um, but I just want to hear straight from you. How you feel about these new Ravens so Wonder big things When you look at when when new management comes um Obviously eric the cost is in in charge now So I honestly my honest opinion him and harbore are going to clash don't clash big time Uh, because eric the cost got uh, he has to get people to understand. This is no longer ozzy's regime This is no longer ozzy's players are they're about to be out the door. I'm about to get my players in You know, everybody's have said everybody said, oh, well the baltimore's baltimore's have been good at You know signing receivers or drafting receivers Well, you got to look at that now when he comes in he said, okay weak weak weak cannot be weak in the area That was an area where we're weak in So in order to be strong in the area you're going to lose in another area So I I think when you look at the culture Of what the baltimore ravers were built on I tell people all the time the baltimore ravers moved to a three four defense I want to say in 97 or 98 So when they moved to a three four defense in 97 98 the foundation They're that's when ray luis finally started to figure out. Okay. Whoa This this is what we're gonna do. This is who we are and that has that has um That has gone, you know through the years like when I was there and you know, maybe a year Maybe a year or so after I left But you got to look at it now where so many pieces Are are leaving and I and I tell people all time and I could be completely wrong But even with the Earl thomas signing Earl thomas is a guy that's been he plays the post I'm not saying Earl thomas can't play in the box. I'm not saying Earl thomas can't tackle But in his defense, he's going to be asked to tackle more than he's ever been asked to tackle in his career He's not going to be a post player You don't really have a post player in this defense unless we just show unless they just show a all out cover three or cover one So he's going to be in a position where he got to come downhill and we all know he comes downhill fast and hard Well, he's not the biggest guy in the world either. No, so you have to look at Can you handle that workload? You know I'm saying like eriguelo is not a dominant safety like that where he can come down and just smack smack smack smack He's a smart player, but that's not his that's not who he is and I think if you see after we left in 2012 That oh those momentum hits Those you know scaring players to come across that was that left. Yeah, that was wrong No more every Roman, you know, I mean, so I'm not saying that this team isn't good I think when you look at this situation It's going to be It's going to be some clashes because eric the costa He's got to get the players and the coaches to understand This is his team He's got to and when that happens guys read that they can read that they can feel that they they sense that And you want to have you want to have all kind of mess and and I mean When you don't have a quarterback at the at you know, and nothing against Lamar Jackson But he is not a guy that you could say go out through the ball 45 50 times a game He's not so Are you going to run yourself out of competing because if you're running the ball all game long But the offense putting up points against the defense, but you running the clock all day long You're not going to be able to stand these games So I just I think it's going to be a rough year You know what I mean, and that's just and that's no hate. I just honestly think it's going to be a rough year Simply because of everything that's what this is the first year for you know, uh The mark Jackson being a starter first year for eric the costa to beat a gm You know, uh first year for this offense a new look offense You know first year for a lot of new players on the outside of the ball You got some defensive players coming in it's not going to be the same makeup So You know, I see rough But they can you know take it surprising Yeah, yeah No, some good points that you made some of that stuff. I didn't think about uh, just with the uh The first year for so many different Changes. Yeah seismic changes to not little stuff But yeah, like you said first year new quarterback first year offensive coordinator first year all these different pieces Um coming to sort of try to jail together. Uh, and it's going to be um Yeah, if the Ravens are going to have success this year it's going to be very important for those pieces to jail And gelling isn't always so easy. Um And because I mean you could liken it to a profession where you if you had Just you to use a call center for example, you get a new manager Uh, you may have had a previous manager that did things a certain way and you might have liked it a certain way You might have been used to that or whatnot comfortable with it Then you get a new manager and all of a sudden boom You got to change up the way that you do stuff and you may bump heads You may clash with that new manager and you may not like their style. So That could lead to some problems between you and that new manager. So, uh, yeah, we're going to see how everything plays out this year um, so that should definitely uh It's going to be interesting like i'll be telling people it's going to be a very interesting season as it always is Yeah, um With with the division with the afc north Who do you think will win the afc north and white? Everybody's hype and i i get the hype um With cleveland i do I say for cleveland they're gonna have to They're gonna have to jail You know getting those characters under control because you got a lot of characters. You got two number one receivers You have a quarterback that obviously could play the game They're going to have a three-headed monster at running back, you know after week eight Um, offensively they can do some things defensively. I think they're still growing. They're still trying to figure some things out I like I like pittsburgh, but at the same time I think once again, they're going through some transformation stuff as well You know where ben is trying to figure out he's trying to let everybody know i'm the leader I can get things done. I can win without labion. I can win without antonio brown I don't think uh shoester is a number one receiver So now we're gonna figure out can he get open on his own without having a true You know i'm saying number one receiver or number, you know true number one in front of him Where he's eaten off of double coverage or him, you know beaten guys I do Cincinnati People say i'm crazy I I honestly think Cincinnati gonna show up and show out this year. Um I think pittsburgh Just because of they still have some pieces there They're going to be tough obviously baltimore and pittsburgh are tough teams the foundation is there But I think when you look at this i'm willing to go out on the limb And say I see Cincinnati two potentially one In the division Cleveland if cleveland can do some things I think cleveland finishes second I think pittsburgh finishes Fourth and baltimore finishes third Um, but this i'm just going out on the limb. I want to say pittsburgh baltimore, but Cincinnati's they've been quiet. You ain't really heard none the bottom I know lou and rumo. He was my uh defensive Position coach in college. He's a smart dude knows how to put guys in position. He's the new defense coordinator for the bangles You know, I think the bangles are doing special things on the offensive side of the ball defensively. They're good. Um, so That's that's kind of how I see the division it can I hope i'm wrong But that's kind of how I see it right now Yeah, bingles. That's an interesting thing I I never I don't hear anybody pick the bangles to win the division But a lot of people could be sleeping on them and um, I know bangles. They always give Well, they give ravens and browns trouble pittsburgh. They don't really get them too much trouble But um bingles for the longest they have been a team that has been super super super talented on both sides of the ball But I felt like their biggest problem has been lack of uh coaching and leadership Because they like they got like Of course aj green andy dawg and I feel like he's so so but when he's hot, he's hot Yes, any dawg and is hot. He is hot when he's not he's not but he can be hot and he could tell some people to Tell some defenses apart. Um, especially when you got a aj green when they just re-signed a tyler boy to a new deal too Which I think he's well deserved enough. Um But yeah, that's that's that's an interesting pick. That's a very interesting pick Um, but you did give some good reasons for it. So again, yeah, we we we're gonna see what happens um Now what what's the the funniest story that you have not and not even just with the ravens Would which whichever team you played for before but there's a story with the chiefs of the titles Whoever what what's the funniest football story? That you remember hang man, uh, it's been It's been a lot of stories But I think that the biggest one that comes from all by man because it's obviously out there on youtube and A lot of players fans talk to me about it laugh about it But when I you know when I was dancing in the locker room in kansas city I forgot all about that video man. Yeah, man A lot of people don't know what really happened. Why why that was so I just if hard knocks was uh hard knocks was following the team well We had if we had a you know, uh, the camera crew was all women and then we had a She was like a manager like a director. It was a woman as well So i'm a fool at heart man. So I i'm i'm a clown. I love to have fun And so we were in we had just finished practice. So we were going out. We was in between practices or whatever and um They were they were just like yo If football didn't work out for you like what would you be doing right now? And so i'm literally playing around. I was like shoot.  Yeah, I'll be a stripper and so um, so the lady was just like She's like, can you really dance and so I come from a family of dancers like, you know, we dance we get down So, uh, you know and I came up in gymnastics and ballet Um, and so that's where my flexibility came from So I she was like you can't dance. I was like, oh, I'm about to act the fool right now So that's when I went to grab the cd. I went and put it in so I was just like hey if I'ma go all in I'm going and run I didn't expect it to be as crazy as it was But I guess seeing a football player drop down to do the splits and pop and everything goes they wasn't used to that Brother, but uh, yeah, that's probably one of the craps.  So go go Go watch that video, man. Yeah, um What are you up to these days? Dude, man, I'm uh, so I obviously I started out You know, as I said about my son. He's uh, he's 11 and um, he's he plays safety and and uh slotting some running back But he's physical and uh, we've I've coached a seven on seven team since he was five And he's like dad. I want to play ball. So I was gonna hold him. I was gonna hold him up till seventh or eighth grade And just continue to let him play play some seven on seven or whatever continue to you know, perfect his craft And I was just like man, I can't hold him back no more You know, he he 11 years old 122 pounds and And uh out here in tennessee, man, they they out here man. He's jokers. They saw he was 122 pounds So they put him with like the lineman And you know never seeing them and so we went out there that a little joker. I mean he fast He instinctive great instincts just do special things with the ball and uh, you know so just been coaching him we've had evals all this week and um So i'm doing that and and and obviously, you know, getting this, you know, the bennard pauler show out Because I want to be able to bring football to fans from a player's perspective So they understand a little bit more what's going on, you know, and even you know Even in light of the situation that happened yesterday if i'm not mistaken with the taylor la wan here in tennessee A lot of fans are just jumping on saying oh, well, you know, he didn't know You know, because that's the story. He fed them, you know, but you know for fans to say well, he didn't know about the the the the illegals Uh No, that's not true fans need to understand what what really happens You know players have the resource to be able to check everything you put into your body You have the resources you have the people there I want fans to understand stop just taking anything a player says And and i'm not this is not me dog and a player I'm a player that have always been for the fans. I love the fans. I love You know being able to communicate and get to know the fans. I want the fans to understand what goes on in the locker room What goes on on the game field what goes on in the meeting room?  It's been a blessing Um, so that's what i'm up to these days. Cool. That's what's up, man. So appreciate that um So is with your son How how far you think he's gonna go? Do you ever watch like old games old old film together of you playing? so So one of the crazy and this was one Truly a blessing. I mean him coming up.  I'm gonna be a safety and when we put him in that safety at Five or six play seven or seven It was just like that and i'm talking about his back pedal to his t-step out catching the ball Running the back. He like he looked like he runs with the ball one hand in the ball And just just doing some special things so he watched obviously a lot of it He's physical like I like I am But uh, that was just a great experience for him to be able to be on the field because ravens, you know The way you know, I see them and they allow the practices to be open to family. It was just an awesome thing. So um Yeah, man, I think I I think A lot of a lot of parents say how good their kid is I can honestly say my son is very talented. Um, you know, we don't know when it comes to the nfl I didn't know I was going to nfl until my sophomore year in high school I was like, I I can do this. I have a gift and so I think it's going to be around the same time for him And you know, and we'll see I don't you know, if he wants to be a basketball player tennis player, whatever it may be That's what I want him to I want him to go in his direction But football for some reason is where is that for him? I mean, yeah, uh, because I They can uh, your kids they take a they can take a liken to what you like Right. Um, they they tend to follow in your footsteps if they see you really love something Then yeah, they might be right there too trying to do the same thing. So Yeah, we'll see how it all goes, man so This season Football season is well football season is here, man. Yeah, if you had to pick Any two teams Well, not any two teams, but What two teams right now? Obviously This is before injuries because we just getting the training camp and it's before anything that's before roster cut downs, but What two teams would you say you would think will go to the Super Bowl this year? man, um Right now I have a gut feeling is matt ryan's time I think, you know, matt ryan is he's he's done some things I think, you know, they got to look at how they just pissed that Super Bowl way to the patriots Um, they've been hungry. Um, you've got weapon. Officially dude. They got weapons Uh, defensively, they're really good. I think dan quinn is going to eat that. He's talking about taking over a play calling defensively for the falcons I I could see the falcons going from the nfc um From the afc, man I don't want I don't want to count the patriots out, but I honestly believe um We're going to see Man, I don't want to count the patriots out. I want to say I don't know who gonna represent the afc yet, man I really don't because no team is just clear cut for me.  I want to give I want to give the chargers I think it's gonna be two guys that, you know, philip river goes out and not really go out. I mean, I think he it's his time Um, he's got a lot of weapons offensively Uh, so yeah, and and and I'm going out on the limb I see the raiders in the playoffs. So we'll see I said the same thing too. Yeah, I think the raiders are gonna be there. Um, Do you do you think the game is too watered down there? Oh Most definitely, you know, you look at this game and they want points. Uh, they're obviously Showing the players in the national football league and they're showing the the fans We give we're the standard for the quarterback position or the quarterback pay or contract is a hundred million dollars That's the standard right now do we Do these guys, you know, do they Do they deserve it? I mean, I don't want to sit here and say no, but at the same time. I'm like, you know Oh, I don't want to say I don't want to say yes a hundred percent but I'm looking at when you do things like that.  We're only willing to pay five to six dies I'm for everybody. I want everybody to be paid. And that's why I'm saying this new cb yeti I truly believe the the owner showed that they want two and a half billion dollars by adding these two games So players use your leverage if they want that I think every contract 16 million dollars and less should be guaranteed Because you're throwing money around you throw money to these quarterbacks 140 million dollar contracts Six guys on the island of falcons got big contracts. The rest of those guys don't And they're not guaranteed, but you're guaranteeing 58 million to a quarterback you're guaranteeing 45 million to a linebacker. I mean, I don't know those are exact numbers But why can't you guarantee those contracts guarantee those 60 million dollars of less contracts because that's the bulk of your team So when you know when you talk, you know, we talk about the water down Ball man It's hard to watch sometimes because db's can't jam office.  They can't touch them. You can't tackle a quarterback So, you know, to me like in the wrong way Yeah, so it's it's it's tough to watch at times. But I mean it's still entertaining You know because the competition so they know they got leveraged by doing that too. Yeah Yeah, that is um, I it's it can be very tough for us as fans So I I can't imagine it must be frustrating as somebody that's actually been there and done that before to see Some of these flags like I think the worst one um One of the worst ones last year was uh In the afc championship game. I was a d4. Who was the christian? I forgot what who which d in uh Had touched. I'm ready. Yep. He touched him right there. Didn't even push him didn't touch them 15 y'all penalty roughing the passer They kept them in that drive to score to win Yeah, I was like wow like come on now.  I'm I'm not a fan of it at all I know nfl. They always talk safety safety safety, but I don't feel like adding two more games is really safety and in the game. It's not a safe game it's not a safe game and um I know they had some some rule with some players that uh, I don't think every player could play all 16 games I I forgot exactly what the rule is with that that they would do But how would you feel about an 18 game schedule? Well, you know, I talked to I touched on this, uh, as far as you know, in one of the videos that I did Um, we talked about 18 game season I would only agree to this You know, number one the lifetime insurance for players that are about to retire for the players that have retired needs to They can they can do that these guys have put their bodies on the line for teams Uh, and they can provide lifetime insurance um now When you look at the 18 game season No player can play more than 16 games. So it's still a 16 game season um, I think if I if I remember quick, I'm trying to remember everything that I had in the video, but I would the the owners talked about a potential 15 adding 15 million dollars to the salary cap Well, they know if you go 18 games and only The players can only play 16 games. Then that means the rosters have to increase Well, you just can't throw a potential 15 million dollars because by them saying potential they owners they're businessmen They know how to bamboozle. They know how to be whatever. They didn't get rich by being polite They've done some shisty stuff so If you're going to add money It needs to be around 30 to 35 million to each salary cap and we know that that goes up every year every year Add the 30 to 35 million to the salary cap The rosters need to go to 68 instead of 53 man rosters. He needs to go to 68 You need to cut all practice squad. There should be no practice squad label Everybody is on the team because everybody's going to have to play because if every And and and only add two non-conference games because those games shouldn't matter So, you know, it the division game the division, uh, the all the division games all the conference games Those are the games that your starters play The non-conference games That's where you start putting in your backup quarterbacks. Let him play but to me I think that's an end and then of course the 16 million 16 million dollar contracts unless Those need to be guaranteed. I think if the players can get that accept the deal because We all say we want to make this game safer by adding it two more games It's still the same amount of hits If I don't get hurt the 16 16, uh, regular season game He's gonna get hurt is 16 regular season games because that's all he could play So by adding the two games It's a win for the owners and it's a win for the players because you got guaranteed money You have money more money coming in on the back end for the players Um bigger rosters and you get more rest for those two games You can rest twice throughout the week and I say still at one extra buy week Okay. Wow. See I'm glad I asked about that because uh I wasn't thinking about none of that stuff Wow, okay All right, so how long do you think uh kickoffs are still going to be in the game for? You can't um You can't remove I don't think and if I remember talking to uh, uh, a lawyer Um that has dealt with the NFL, uh, and then uh talking to a couple players former kickers and punters If you remove that you're taking away an opportunity for them to be able to play and make money So I think that's uh obstacle that they're going to face When they deal, you know, if they try to implement that rule I honestly don't think it'll happen They'll keep adjusting, you know I think what they've done right now on the kickoff, you know, you can't have you know more than two man wedge You know all that stuff I think that's where it stops. You know, they can't do anything else to keep it safer Uh punts need to be a part of the game. I think fans want those are important parts of a game That could potentially change the outcome of a game A muck pun, you know what I'm saying or pump return for a touchdown if the game three to three You know what I'm saying like those things are big Momentum swings for teams and I think if you get rid of that and it's just offense defense I don't think the game, you know, it's fun anymore because you know We're not seeing a punter be able to sit there and keep a ball in the air for five and a half seconds You know what I'm saying stuff like that where you just you you look at that and that's beauty You know what I'm saying like that that you know him kicking it out at the one-yard line That right there you can't get rid of that man. You you got to keep that a part of the game Yeah, I hope they do I talked about it in previous videos before I think they're gonna get a get rid of it within like the next two years um, I hope they don't but just Just so I because I when they did the um aaf AF they didn't have kickoffs at all Like with the aaf that was sort of like the nfl's guinea pig Well, they were like, oh, you know what? Let's see how this works and they watched that and they were like, okay the game still had a pretty good flow without the kickoffs And nobody was really complaining about it. You know anything and the game still went on just fine So I think that was sort of like maybe a little they were putting out fillers and whatever to see how the game would be Without kickoff. So hopefully they don't um because yeah, like you said that will take away opportunities That would take away jobs Yeah, we'll kickers. I mean because yeah, you you still got to kick field goals and whatnot, but um, as far as the kickoffs it kick kick return because there's guys on different teams that make the make this team just to be Returnment. Um, so yeah, that would that will take away from their pockets too. So Oh, we'll see man. We'll see how that goes down. Um, xfl XFL how you think the xfl is gonna do and did you watch it before? I didn't watch it before. I think you know this af League, I think they they looked at some things that you know, potentially you could do and there's some things you probably shouldn't do Um, I think it's gonna be ran better. I think the financially the backing Um, it's there. I thought the effort af. There's some some pretty cool things that was that was there um I think is going to get fans An outlet, you know to be able to continue to watch football as they deal with the af I don't necessarily I mean the NFL is going to look at players from that Uh league and potentially bring them in for workouts or things of that nature But I mean, I don't know how long it can last That's it's going to be a tough thing to be able to Fill a stadium because if you written these stadiums out man, like, you know And you're not filling it and just you know, even with the tv, uh contracts That the af did, you know, they should have did better with I mean, they should have paid the money upfront to keep those Uh to keep those games nationally televised Anybody going to look for no channel? No, no, no, no, you know channel two thousand eight hundred for it You know what I mean? Like anybody like I ain't got that You know what I'm saying? So you you got you got to keep these games nationally televised I think the xfo is going to try to do it. I don't know as far as longevity. I don't know how long it will be um You know, because it's just so many players out. It's a lot of I mean you got Uh-oh We lost them He's still connected, but I'm not sure what happened. There we go. You're back Yeah, so yeah, I just don't I don't I don't know. I don't know how I don't know the long jb Okay, yeah, we'll see because I mean they yeah, like you said, they definitely got a good backing a good financial backing because basic man He definitely got it. Oh, yeah. Got it. He um He ain't short uh in his pocket. So he he straight with that But um, yeah, I do think that they can they can look at the aaf see some things that they did good Because what I like with the aaf I like how there was a level of transparency With it especially and it was there was some sloppy stuff But at the same time it was a brand new league it was a brand new project So that was understood that that was going to come with it. Um One of the things that I did like and it I liked how they tried it Um, it didn't always run smooth, but at the same time they put it out there Was with when they were reviewing plays with when the aaf would review plays Um, they would actually let you listen in Um to when they were reviewing what they were watching what they were saying why they were watching and whatnot And I I like that. Right. I like that because I know what NFL and of course NFL They I'm sure they're not gonna they they're not gonna do that Um, because they got whatever going on behind the with the rest of whatnot, but um I I I I had loved that because it made you feel like okay Well, this is what they see and this is what I'm seeing too And it just it just allowed you to be in their heads Like with the rest in the NFL, I don't think we're ever gonna be in their heads Um, but the aaf did that and and I'm sure there's other things too that the xfl can take away both from aaf and nfl too Um and implement Excuse me their own style with the uh with the football and of course it's going to be a big entertainment factor as well Since it is vinsic man, and he is the the chairman and owner of the wwe right now. So Yeah, he that's gonna be uh, that's gonna be it's gonna be fun to see How it plays out. Yeah, I know for me with aaf I was excited for it because it's like, oh, yeah, let's go football is over nfl is over But now we still get more football but it It was a lot of football man Like to to not have like no break at all like to go from Super Bowl to boom football again Right. It was like wow. This is uh, that's a lot right, but Ended up fizzling out. So unfortunately, uh, but It's all good man. So what what you want to tell the people watching about your youtube channel, man Oh man, uh, you know for me as I've said before What I what I want to what I'm going to provide is it's just you know football from a players players perspective It's going to be honest ball honest talk Um, you're going to be able to understand what's going on. What what really happened with our team We all see the obvious things a ball was under thrown. We do it in double coverage or Things that nature, but when it comes down to why did they run that play?  Why did the team come in this way?  What was he thinking when he got in trouble or you know, did he really feel that drug test? Whatever it may be. So, you know, I just want to give it to you from a player's perspective And and just be real and uh, you know, that's that's just me. That's what I do So, you know, hopefully, you know, hopefully it keeps it continues to grow because it's been outstanding That's far. So, uh, I'm excited about it Cool, man.

What's up everybody, J.J. here for jaspyskatespricks.com. Happy new release day, 19-20 upper deck, ultimate collection hockey. Pigeons number two, just sold out, second half of the master, and let's print out this sheet really quick. See who's sold us out. Pistons? Well, I know the clippers almost end up with Kobe. That was crazy. Imagine Kobe in a clipper's jersey that's like every Lakers' worst nightmare. That would be like a Kobe move though, right? Not a Kobe move per se, but like, you know how he's so passionate and so like, I bet the guy like, you know, probably held grudges, especially if you'd be like, we're against him. So just imagine at that time when it was pretty him, shanky with him in the Lakers. Him going to the clippers would have been like crazy. Just to get back at the Lakers is what I'm trying to say. Because all he wants to do is win. Then they scored. Joe Keem started us off. Matthew Goodchuck. Yeah, they're always good, but right now they're losing, but they're up 3-1 in the series. We got for the Carolina Hurricanes at 2.99, Ultimate rookie autograph. Joshua, Julian, and autograph debut threads to 49, Ryan Pohling. Nice one there. Jacked with the Canadians. Excellent. That's not go-ten there in your fans. That is not go-ten there in your fans. Yeah, he pushes them into him. Ryan Lindgren. He's not going to get the rebound anyways. What do you mean he's not unable to make the save? That's BS. To give it to them. We got Ultimate introduction numbered to 25. Carter, Brigitte. That's right. We have a good goal. Trent Frederick for the Boston Bruins. Winner, William. And Andrei Svechnikov. For the Hurricanes. Nice break for you, Joshua. Started us off with stuff six boxes. Next one.

Sean Monahan. 30. About an eight. Yeah, 38 out of 99. Curtis with that one. Whoa. Jesus. All right, guys, this just the way it came out. It's definitely a quality of control issue right there. I'm sure Upper Deck will take care of you for that. This is like chewed. So Flyers William. You've seen that on the video, man. Just to show you. Trevor Moore. The 299. That's the one thing, guys. I've even seen a lot of little damaged corners throughout this product where they kind of fixed that problem from 1516 in the last three years. So Trevor Moore for the Leafs right there. That's going to Jason. But it looks like this time around some of them are coming pretty damaged. Raleigh Stillman. Cow McCarr. Rookie of Sense. For the Avalanche. Right at Jeremy Varro. So my thing is that I feel like this plastic wrapper kind of damages the car. So it just barely fits in here. So it's like the corners and stuff. You get like extremely damaged. All right, there's McCarr again. Axis. Joe Thornton to 149. Kale Clegg or Cow. 299. And Carl Grunstrom. Look at that autograph debut threads to 99. Two more. Two wires to draw in front.

Ultimate Collection Hockey, eight box case break. Number two in the books. Again, number three and four are pretty close. Number three is down to two left.

If you want to ask me just casebreaks.com.


He took Hajar to a place, when you look at it, it's a complete trust in Allah Subh'anaHu Wa Ta'ala, a place that has Wajal Ghayri di Zara'in. There's nothing there. And so he took him and she asked him, as he was leaving, is this you or did Allah tell you to do this? He said, no, Allah told me to do this. She said, then I'm Arabic. I mean, she was content. She raised Ismail there, and the Arabs that were there, these are the original Arabs, the Arab and the Arba'i. They taught him Arabic. Ibrahim, when he came, they married him because they were very impressed with him. Archer, even the Bible mentions about him. They were very impressed with him as a man. And so, despite the fact that it was not their ad, their norm, they married him to one of their daughters. Ibrahim alaihi s-salam visited from Sham. When he came there, he saw the woman and he asked, where's your husband? She said, he's out hunting. And he said, how are things here for you? How are things here? And she said, terrible. They're horrible. And the Prophet s-salam said, she complained to him about their conditions. So then, he said, when your husband comes back, give him my salam, and tell him to change the ataba of his bab, like when you come into a house, the ataba is the thing before the door, the door mat. He said, change that. So then Ismail came back and he noticed Anas al-Dahadi says, like he noticed something. And he asked her, what happened today? She said, sheikh came, sheikhun kada wa kada. He just said, sheikh, oh man came. And he said, well, what happened? He said, he asked about our aish and I told him. And then he, he said, did he al-shaqi bishay, did he tell you to do anything? He said, he said to give you salam and to say, to change the door, the trestle of your door. And he said, that was my father. And he told me to separate from you. So ilhaqi bi ahliki, go and join your family. He divorced her. Why did he do that? Because Ibrahim was going, he made a dua with Ma'il when they built the house. He sent a messenger from them. And then he said, that you alamuhum al-kitab wa al-hikmah. Send them a messenger from them who will recite to them your signs. And he will teach them the book and the wisdom. And he will purify them because you are al-Aziz al-Hakim. So he knew that the source had to be pure. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, make sure that the one you marry is the right one because you're going to plant seeds. So the earth has to be good earth. So he married another woman from them. Ibrahim came again, visiting them. And what did he say? He said, how did he live? Because his Ismail was out hunting. He said, how did he live? She said, oh, we're in blessing. Nothing changed except the understanding, the mentality changed. Nothing changed, same conditions. But the woman, she didn't complain. She said, we're in blessings. She said the opposite of the other woman. The other woman said, we're in blessing. He said, what food are you eating? She said, meat. And he said, wa sharabuki. She said, water. And he said, Allah bless that meat and bless that water. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, they didn't have seeds. Had they had seeds, you would have blessed the seeds. All they were eating was meat and water. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, The son of Adam has no rights except for these. That's the only thing we're entitled to as a human being, as a creation of Allah, is a house that protects you. And for some it's just a tent, clothes that you cover your nakedness with, and then bread and water. This is basically somebody in prison. That's what a prisoner has. He has a roof over his head. They give him prison outfit, and they give him bread and water in some places. Here they get other things, but traditionally bread and water was what you gave the prisoner. In the Qarou'een in Tass, where the student studied, they were given just one loaf of bread every day and water, as that was their sustenance for going to college. When you go to college, you get, that's what they got. A loaf of bread and water, and whatever else they had ate was from their own source. So the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, That's all you deserve. And the humans are feel so entitled to things. This woman was a pure woman, and then she said, when she also said, She saw Ibrahim. She said a beautiful sheikh came to us today, and then she praised him. The other one just said sheikhun kiddu wa kiddah. Some old man came. This is the difference between world views of how you view the world. And this is what our religion teaches, to change your mentality, change the way you think about things, change all this entitlement that modern people have. The crisis on this planet is one thing and one thing alone.  They think they can do it on their own. All of the things that are happening right now are because people no longer call on Allah when they have tribulations. Ibn al-Ata'ila says, Allah sends calamities to take people back to Him. That's why He sends them. Ibn al-Ata'ila says that sometimes you will find in calamities what you cannot find in prayer and fasting. Because prayer and fasting always has the possibility of rujal. But when you have a calamity, you know that you're nothing.  And this is why the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, a man came to him and said, he said, I love you. He said, think about what you're saying. He said, I love you. He said it three times. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, then get ready for tribulation. Get ready for things that are going to break you. SubhanAllah. The people that have the most tribulation in dunya are the prophets and then those like the prophets. But we don't like to think about this. People want ease. This is human nature. People want ease. But Allah SWT wants you to know Allah SWT before you are confronted with your own life on the Yom Qiyamah, to have Ma'rifah of Allah SWT. So all of these tribulations that Allah sends to this species is for their benefit.


Having discussed free particle and particle in a box the field is now set for us to get into Schrodinger equation of hydrogen atom and I hope that you are as happy about it as this big fat smiling happy nucleus that we have here. And the reason why we have this cartoon here is that we should not forget that even though we said that Rutherford model is not tenable the basic experiment that had led to Rutherford model experiment performed by Marston remember this alpha particles shot at a gold foil most of them go through some of them deviate and one in 20000 turn back that experiment was not wrong. So, the basic observation that the almost the entire mass and all the positive charge of the nucleus of the atom is centered at a point that still holds and the fact that the negative charge the electron in the atom is somewhere out in this vast void space in the atom that also holds what does not hold is that this electron goes around in circles or ellipses or whatever. But well it does move how does it move we cannot say exactly what the trajectory is but we can write Schrodinger equation like we did for a free particle like we did for particle in a box. And one more thing that we learned very very important thing in the last module was that we learnt about spherical polar coordinates and we learned a little bit about angular momentum. So, with this now we are all set to talk about hydrogen atom as you will see we are going to set up hydrogen we are going to set up Schrodinger equation for hydrogen atom then we are going to simplify it we are going to use certain assumptions. I will show you the solution of one part of the equations and then we are going to just share with you what the solutions of the other parts are and what sense we can make out of them. But before we start let us remember what we have learned so far the very basic tenets of quantum mechanics are that we are working with Schrodinger equation we are going to write down Schrodinger equation this started off as a classical wave equation for deep ugly waves. But the realization that it is an eigenvalue equation triggered something much bigger the postulate of quantum mechanics came about which said that you should be able to write an eigenvalue equation for every physical observable. So, the wave function contains all the information when the operator operates on it it should be able to give you an eigenvalue equation the eigenvalue that you get is the value of the physical observable we are talking about and it also sort of tells us that for every physical observable like position momentum energy angular momentum we should be able to construct an operator. And then this operator would better be Hermitian because your eigenvalues must be real and the operators are also linear. So, these are all the postulates of quantum mechanics that we have touched upon very very briefly. And we know already how to calculate expectation values and one extremely important information that we have got now from our study of particle in a box is that quantization arises out of boundary condition. So, with this let us now think how we can formulate the problem of hydrogen atom in the language of quantum mechanics. When we try to do that the first thing that we have to write down is the Hamiltonian. Now hydrogen atom is really a two particle central force problem what is the meaning of central force as we said the nucleus contains all the positive charge and the electron is a negatively charged particle. So, the electron moves in whichever way it moves under an attractive potential of the nuclear and there are two particles one is nucleus one is electron and that is always a problem whenever we have a two particle problem we try and reduce it to one particle problems they are much easier to handle. After we do that this hydrogen atom Schrodinger equation is actually completely solvable usually it is not. So, if you want to make fun of quantum chemists usually tease them saying that these people have only one equation and they do not even know how to solve it for most of the cases. Of course, this is a not a very good thing to say and not so valid also, but well when you want to pull the leg of people this is what you do. Now any quantum mechanical formulation of a problem starts with writing down the Hamiltonian or rather writing down the operator. If you are talking about Schrodinger equation we have to write down Hamiltonian which is the involved operator here. So, what are the terms that the Hamiltonian will contain? It will contain a kinetic energy term of the nucleus a kinetic energy term of the electron and a potential energy term for attraction between the electron and the nucleus very simple and we know already what the kinetic energy terms are. We know that kinetic energy terms are like minus h cross square by 2 m del square where del square is del 2 del x 2 plus del 2 del y 2 plus del 2 del z 2. To differentiate between the two we have written one term in capital N one term in small e this means a term that is written in terms this means a term that is expressed by the coordinates of the nucleus and the second term is expressed in coordinates of the electron. The third term of course, is very simple 1 by 4 pi epsilon 0 z and z e square by R E N I think we are all familiar with this very familiar I will ask you what is it called does this law have a name I am sure you know what it is and we have written in Si unit for now that is why this 1 by 4 pi epsilon 0 is there and since one of the charges is plus and one of the charges is minus between proton and electron we have a minus sign here it is as simple as that R E N is a separation between the electron and the nucleus. So, this is the Hamiltonian but we have to solve we have to write it in a little simpler way before we can proceed further because you see if you use that Hamiltonian and write down Schrodinger equation the psi that we have here for now we are calling this psi total even though psi total actually has a little different meaning later on which is not really a part of this course that we are now doing but generally when we talk about psi total we mean a special part of psi multiplied by a spin part of the psi we are not going to get into spin in this course. Here when I say psi total I mean the psi of the entire hydrogen atom nucleus as well as electron that psi is going to be a function of X and Y and Z N X Y Y X E Y E Z E all the 6 coordinates will be there we have to make this a little simpler and we are not going to go through the mathematics of this but it might help if we understand at least what the frames of references are. So, this is how we can formulate the problem let us say this here is the nucleus and this is the electron. So, X N Y and Z N and X C Y E Z E are the coordinates of the nucleus and the electron respectively in a space fixed coordinate system some absolute coordinate system. Now, the position vectors are written as R E and R N now see if I try to write this vector draw this vector R E N how will I get it? So, these are 2 vectors right R E and R N if I subtract R N from R E then I get R which is R E N and that is given by root over X square plus Y square plus Z square. Now, how it comes that we can show easier but I have not even told you what X Y Z R let me tell you that first X is given by X C minus X N Y is given by Y E minus Y N Z is given by Z E minus Z N what am I talking about here where the axes are parallel. So, let us say I will draw this horizontal axis that is Y this is I call it Y dash this let us say is Z dash and this here is X dash I hope it is not very difficult to see that X is parallel to X dash Y is parallel to Y dash Z is parallel to Z dash. So, what is what am I doing I am doing a transformation of coordinates I am moving the origin from the absolute value to where the nucleus is. Now, see what will be the X coordinate of M E X C minus X N in this new frame of reference which I have written as X Y X dash Y dash Z dash Y is going to be Y E minus Y N Z is going to be Z E minus Z N it is a simple as that now it is very simple to see what your R is what is R R is the position vector of the electron in this new coordinate system that I have built right because this is the new origin and this is the point. So, this arrow that you see here that is the position vector of the electron in this new transformed coordinate system. So, this coordinate system is called the internal coordinate system what does that mean that means this talks about the displacement of the electron in terms of the nucleus and the other coordinate system that we do not need to talk about in this course is this these are mass weighted or center of mass coordinates. When you do this is a very standard technique for separation of variables in problems like this you essentially build this coordinate system second coordinate system which talks about the movement of the center of mass. So, the second one capital X capital Y capital Z that talks about movement of the center of mass and this one small x small y small z talks about movement of the smaller mass with respect to the larger mass and here of course we have to use instead of mass we have to use reduced mass I hope you all know what reduced mass is the way I remember it is 1 by mu equal to 1 by m 1 plus 1 by m 2 a question for you the reduced mass suppose I have 2 masses m 1 and m 2 let me give you some numbers one mass of unit 1 another mass of using unit say 1800 roughly proportional to masses of electron and nucleus can you calculate the reduced mass of this system one mass is 1 unit the other mass is 1800 unit. So, I suggest that you stop the video right now pause the video and work out what the reduced mass is if you worked it out you will see that the reduced mass is very very very close to the smaller mass 1 and that is what is important here we will write the you will show you the equation shortly there you will see instead of m we have mu but then in this system mu is practically the mass of the electron and capital M the total mass is practically the mass of the proton because their masses are so very different. Now in this system you can do a formal separation of variables we are not going to do it here just believe me when I say that when I write the Schrodinger equation for hydrogen atom in a relative frame of reference then when we try to do that first of all I get 2 equations one in terms of the center of mass coordinate and one in terms of the relative coordinate. So, what you see here the first term it contains capital M in the denominator that is total mass practically the mass of the proton and this capital R is the coordinates of the center of mass which is essentially the proton the nucleus and this second one shaded in blue that has seen mu a minus h cross square by mu by 2 mu what is this mu practically the mass of the electron and here you have small r which talks about the displacement of the electron from the nucleus. So, this is what we get now how do we separate we separate in this manner well first of all this separation is done in this way I am not going to talk about it whoever is mathematically inclined is welcome to go through all those we are we do not really need to do this let us take it axiomatically. So, we have got 2 equations one like this the first term I will call it h n because that is the only term on the left hand side which is in terms of the capital M mass which is sort of the mass of the nucleus as I have said several times second and third terms together make up the Hamiltonian for the electron again why electron because mu is practically the mass of the electron did I say it too many times perhaps I did, but that is all right. Now how do I write wave function to write to separate this equation what we do is we write the wave function as a product of 2 wave functions one in terms of the center of mass well since it is practically the nucleus I call it chi n and one in terms of the electron psi e. So, why are we doing this remember particle into d box there also since x and y directions were independent we took the wave function to be a product of a wave function in x and a wave functions in y here also the nuclear and the electronic coordinates are independent after separation of variables that is why we can write the wave function as a product of a nuclear factor and an electronic factor. So, when we put that in what will the energy be naturally energy will be a sum of the center of mass that is the nucleus and the reduced mass that is the electron en plus ee and what you see is this color coding is used to highlight which part is associated with nucleus which part is associated with the electron. So, now essentially we collect all the terms in the nucleus coordinates. So, from the left hand side what will I get minus h cross square by 2 capital M del R square that operates on see when it operates on chi and psi what will happen psi is a constant it will come out. So, we are doing separation of variables I will not do it in very much of detail here because we are going to do it in little more detail slightly later for another equation. So, if you do not understand what we are doing here please wait up a little bit let us do that and you can come back and do it yourself crux of the matter is we get one equation as h n operating on chi n giving en multiplied by chi n and h n here is only the kinetic energy operator does that ring a bell have you encountered Schrodinger equation like this actually we have we have encountered it when we talked about free particle. So, this is what gives us the kinetic energy of the atom as a whole and remember this is not quantized en is h cross square k square by 2 m k can take up any values. So, essentially the atom as a whole if you look at the atom as a whole you will see it undergoing translational motion and this translational motion energy translation energy is not going to be quantized this is very important to understand. All right that being said we do not worry about it anymore because we are not interested in the movement of atom as a whole we are interested in movement of the electron with respect to the nucleus for that for the rest of this discussion we are going to focus on the electronic part of Schrodinger equation. Now, if you have not understood anything we have said so far it does not matter if you can believe that we have to formulate this Schrodinger equation for the electronic part and del R square is the kinetic energy minus h cross square by 2 mu del R square is the kinetic energy operator for the electron this one is the potential then I think you can understand the rest of the discussion no problem. Now, this is our Hamiltonian and in fact this is our Schrodinger equation del R square as you know is del 2 del x 2 plus del 2 del y 2 plus del 2 del z 2 and R as we have said already is square root of x square plus y square plus z square. So, if you want you can write it like this you can write it out and this is going to be your Schrodinger equation in terms of x y and z is that okay can we work like this can we just write is equal to e multiplied by psi e and try to solve it actually we cannot because see earlier when we talked about 2D 3D box we could separate it very nicely here the problem is here we have a term in root over x square plus y square plus z square you cannot separate it. So, your Cartesian coordinates will not work what should work well if you go back to the original form of the equation here we have written R and the problem is that we cannot separate R into x y and z. So, if you cannot separate it can you work with it is there a coordinate system in which R itself is a coordinate actually there is and we know what it is that is spherical polar coordinate. So, we need to formulate Schrodinger equation in terms of spherical polar coordinates I will not repeat all these relations and expression for your volume element and all because we discussed already suffice to say that we need to now reformulate the problem in terms of spherical polar coordinates easier said than done because when we try to do that I have removed all these slides usually in my regular classes we have a lot of fun showing 13 slides that we are not going to discuss. There those 13 slides tell us how to go over from del 2 del x 2 plus del 2 del y 2 plus del 2 del z 2 to this big scary expression that we have what we have written here is kinetic energy operated and spherical coordinates you have to believe me on this or you have to actually do the transformation yourself if you want to do it suit yourself I am not about to do I am not about to do it here that being said do you have to remember this no please do not nobody needs to remember anything in a course like this and in case this is used by some colleges by teachers my request to teachers is that we should never ask questions like write down the kinetic energy operator in spherical polar coordinates we need to use our brain not just as a storage device rather we have to use it as a processor right so let us do that let us focus on understanding rather than memorizing things right this is something that is available in many resources we will just use it okay how do I write the Hamiltonian operator this is the kinetic energy operator so to get to the Hamiltonian operator I just have to add the kinetic potential energy term here it is how do I write Schrodinger equation now this Hamiltonian in spherical polar coordinates has to operate on the wave function let us do that this is your Schrodinger equation now so this here is Schrodinger equation for the electronic part in spherical polar coordinates and see what we have these are the terms in R these are the terms in theta and these are in phi the first term is only in R's R second term is a mixture of R and theta the third term contains R and theta and phi so we will have to find a way of separating these equations and this is what we were saying that we are going to do it at least for this part of the discussion how do you do it well first of all let us see how we can simplify further if I multiply by minus 2 mu R square by h cross square what happens this R square gets eliminated right so at least the second term becomes only in terms of theta except for the wave function of course the third term the operator part is only in terms of theta and phi so R is eliminated from second and third terms and then we bring this e psi to the left hand side again I recommend that you keep on pausing the video writing down what we should get in the next step and you come back and see the video after that that way you will understand better I hope you are doing that now I will show you what the answer is if you do this this is what we get first term becomes del del R of R square del psi e del R yeah you have multiplied by minus 2 mu R square by h cross square what does the second term become R square would go 2 mu would go h cross square would go you are left with 1 by sin theta del del theta of sin theta del psi e del theta what about the last term it becomes 1 by sin square theta del 2 psi e del phi 2 and since you have brought whatever was on the right hand side to left hand side the last term that you get is 2 mu R q z square by h cross square what is q we had defined q to take care of all these constants 1 by 4 pi epsilon 0 and all that so that will be plus 2 mu R square h cross square e psi e that is going to be equal to 0 okay so this second last term is the potential energy term the last term is what was there on the right hand side all right now these are in terms of R only are except for the wave function these are in terms of theta and phi there are two kinds of coordinates right R is a line and theta and phi are angles so first as a first step if you can separate R from theta phi that is good enough all right how do I do it again I have to define my wave function in a particular manner so let us define the wave function as a product of an R dependent part a theta dependent part and a phi dependent part we often do not even write this small r small theta small phi in brackets you just write capital R capital theta capital phi what is capital R wave function what is capital theta wave function what is capital phi wave function capital R is a wave function that is written only in terms of small r capital theta is a function of theta only not R not phi capital phi is a function of phi only not R not theta so small letters are coordinates capital letters are wave functions okay how are we okay how is it that we can write it well we are doing separation of variables and these are all independent coordinates okay so let us write that this is what your equation becomes now what what happens when we try to differentiate well this is the step that we had skipped earlier so let me at least draw some arrows here and let me show you let us take the first term when I differentiate see this theta capital theta and capital phi they are not functions of R right so as far as R is concerned they are constants so they are going to come out similarly in the second one capital R and capital phi these are not functions of small r so they are sorry they are not functions of small theta so they are also going to come out and the third term we are differentiating with respect to phi so capital R and capital theta which are not functions of phi they are constants as far as this differentiation is concerned okay and last two terms you do not even have to worry about because they are just products so that is what we get and again please pause work it out yourself and then only see the next step you do that this is what you get capital theta capital phi del del R of R square del capital R del R in fact there is no need to write del here anymore because I do not have a partial derivative any longer is not it so it is absolutely okay and it is desirable that I write dr d capital R dr that is actually better similarly the second term we have capital R capital phi outside 1 by sin theta del del theta of capital theta so again I can write actually d capital theta d theta there is no need of writing that delta any longer and finally in the third term capital R capital theta come out and you are left with 1 by sin square theta del 2 capital phi del phi 2 again it is better to write d 2 capital phi d phi 2 remember d 2 capital phi means d 2 wave function phi dependent wave function and small phi is a coordinate alright so and these are the other terms what is the next step obviously you do not want this capital theta capital phi in the first term you want to get rid of it the easiest way of doing it is to divide by capital R capital theta capital phi do it and see what you get yeah multiply by 1 by capital R capital theta capital phi please do it yourself this is what you get 1 by capital R del del R well d dr of R square dr dr this and this I am not going to read out everything here this is what you get and now have a look well I have written it a little more neatly here now see these are the terms in R no theta no phi these two terms are in terms of theta phi only no R these are equal to 0 rearrange a little bit these are equal to each other but left hand side is in terms of R right hand side is in terms of theta phi they are independent coordinates so there this radial and angular parts the part in radial and part in angular coordinates the part in R and part in theta phi they must be equal to some constant we write it beta why because left hand side is in terms of R small r right hand side is in terms of theta and phi how can they not be constant they have to be a constant very simple mathematical tool that is used universally so when you do that you get two equations the first one is called the radial equation second one is called angular equation and please note that they are connected by beta they are not independent of each other for example in the Schrodinger equation for 2d particle and 2d box the two the equations were independent here they are not independent they are actually correlated by beta and I do not have to do anything more for the radial part it is sorted but angular equation have to still work a little more because they have theta and phi mixture of those how do I do it same thing first of all multiplied by sine square theta this is what you get first term is only in theta second term is only in theta well then I take this I just I sort of interchange sides so now left side is in theta right side is in phi again these are going to be equal to some constant this constant I call m square now why m square why not k because I know what we are going to do later we are not the first people doing it here it is absolutely okay if you write k or whatever you want to write but I know that life becomes simpler and meaningful if I write m square here that is the only reason why it has been written this way all right so we have three equations one a function of r one in terms of r one in terms of theta one in terms of phi they are separated what we are going to do next is that we are going to try to solve this simple one and while I am speaking many of you would have solved it also all right but let us take a break now we will come back and we will solve this and we will tell you what the solutions are of the r dependent part and the theta dependent part
