Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Tuesday,
Speaker 1: August sixth. The Ravens thought another training camp practice today. Afterwards,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harball,
Speaker 1: who shares some updates on Ravens players dealing with injuries.
Speaker 2: Had a great practice, tough practice, hot, second back to
Speaker 2: back padded practice physical, the last padded practice before we
Speaker 2: played Eagles on Friday. Thought the guys showed up. They
Speaker 2: showed up ready to go to work. It was fun.
Speaker 2: Can't wait to watch the tape. Had a little drill
Speaker 2: there at the end, fumble recovery drill. George Gatzi, coach
Speaker 2: Goatzy runs that drill teaches those guys how to recover fumble.
Speaker 3: So it's a little.
Speaker 2: Wet, you know, high pressure hose is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: So we recovered the last one. I can tell you
Speaker 2: that the last one we got recovered. What questions you have, John,
Speaker 2: We saw your side.
Speaker 4: Russell Gage his first practice out of the team. We
Speaker 4: went into that signing and then how did he look
Speaker 4: out there today?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: It was Uh, he was an opportunity for us. Really,
Speaker 2: I mean, he's guy that's proven, proven player, catches tough player,
Speaker 2: physical player, great hands, just approven NFL veteran type player,
Speaker 2: just starting today, look good, but just starting kind of
Speaker 2: ramping him up a little bit of an enigy. He
Speaker 2: got his helmet out there about one. He was out
Speaker 2: there at one twenty so, but we got him out
Speaker 2: there and got him going a little bit. So he'll
Speaker 2: learn the offense and he should play Friday if he's
Speaker 2: some guys that to get him off by.
Speaker 3: Puts the challenge and the guy.
Speaker 2: He does so much conference, well, we have to ramp
Speaker 2: him up a little bit, no doubt about it. Brian.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's just hadn't done hadn't done anything, you know,
Speaker 2: from the first day, really been working on that the
Speaker 2: hamstering issue. So we're gonna bring him along. But the
Speaker 2: good news is it's still pretty early in camp relatively speaking.
Speaker 2: We've got still got three full preseason games and plenty
Speaker 2: of weeks of practice to get him ready. So he's
Speaker 2: excited to be back, you know, he's worked hard to
Speaker 2: get back and we're looking forward to having him out there.
Speaker 2: We'll just have to see how it kind of progresses
Speaker 2: during the week this week. Pay Yeah, not serious, you know,
Speaker 2: he just kind of you saw him laying down after
Speaker 2: you made that catch, kind of hit the ground hard.
Speaker 2: So uh, nothing long term.
Speaker 5: John, in the last couple of years, you've seen you
Speaker 5: don't really play a lot of starters in the preseason
Speaker 5: and anticipate that being the same.
Speaker 2: Case of industry. Well, it's case by case. As you know,
Speaker 2: there's certain guys aren't gonna play, and you'll probably figure
Speaker 2: out who they are and then we'll, uh, we'll play
Speaker 2: all the guys that need to play. Everybody else is
Speaker 2: said nothing but the positive things to say about Trenlan
Speaker 2: Simpson in the class treman. I guess what's the most
Speaker 2: difficult thing about stepping into a much bigger hole in
Speaker 2: that position back? Well, I mean it's always a step,
Speaker 2: but this in this league. I think your point is
Speaker 2: a really good point. You know, he's gonna be expanding
Speaker 2: his responsibilities greatly, but he's done much to earn that opportunity,
Speaker 2: and you know, I think he'll bloom into that opportunity.
Speaker 5: Right probably catching David down answer, how these younger singer
Speaker 5: store pushing pushing the better last.
Speaker 2: Responsive, Yeah, the young receivers, right, Well, I think they're
Speaker 2: they're pushing. You know, none of them is like pushed through.
Speaker 2: Yet they're all they're all making dents, you know. And
Speaker 2: John made a nice stent there with that touchdown catch
Speaker 2: up the sideline, great throw from Devn so you know
Speaker 2: it was well covered. I mean it was really well
Speaker 2: covered too. So but just keep working those guys. I
Speaker 2: think they're all working really hard and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: at some point in time, hopefully it shakes out in
Speaker 2: terms of a pecking order. We saw right now at
Speaker 2: the end, they're detained in their corner.
Speaker 6: You got to really lie and makes them play the
Speaker 6: emotion on that defensive sideline.
Speaker 4: After that, what are you trying to accomplish when the pip.
Speaker 2: The guy in that situation that I mean, yes, good question, Bo.
Speaker 2: And you can imagine just the opportunity to to apply
Speaker 2: all the work that you've done and build as a
Speaker 2: foundation underneath your your game as a player into a situation,
Speaker 2: a circumstance where you're in that moment and you have
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make the play and uh, you know,
Speaker 2: Sanusi came up and made a play right there. And
Speaker 2: that's it's so exciting and so emotional for guys, I
Speaker 2: think because they work so hard to be in that moment.
Speaker 2: So practice, we were live tackling on that play and uh,
Speaker 2: and he came up with it.
Speaker 4: Here to hit the edge and I think went untouched
Speaker 4: in the edge. To see a guy that big able
Speaker 4: to move that.
Speaker 2: Fast, well, yeah, it really is. What else can you say?
Speaker 2: I mean, he looked great and I just very impressed
Speaker 2: with Derrick Henry in every way and I can't wait
Speaker 2: to see him out there in games.
Speaker 6: Following in the interest of starters, it's important to you
Speaker 6: to get so he looks for significant.
Speaker 2: Amount of looks with Derek with live carries in the
Speaker 2: run game or to see.
Speaker 3: A guy that and we know what he can do.
Speaker 2: If we're trying to keep as many carries as you
Speaker 2: can't get, well we're not gonna get live carries. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be tackling to the ground with Derek
Speaker 2: in practice. But we do understand that for a lot
Speaker 2: of guys like Derek, the the practices are the game reps.
Speaker 2: You know, these are like they've got to be treated
Speaker 2: like game reps. Put yourself in that frame of mind
Speaker 2: when you when you practice, so when the game comes
Speaker 2: against Kansas City and thereafter you're you're you've you've been
Speaker 2: there before. Now they've been there and play games before,
Speaker 2: so they know how to make that adjustment also. So
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's it's not live, but it's it's pretty physical,
Speaker 2: you know. And he's been practicing very well. See, Arthur's
Speaker 2: been dealing with a knee issue. We'll see. It's not
Speaker 2: gonna be you know, anything season ending. Uh, but we're
Speaker 2: looking at it right now. We've got to figure out
Speaker 2: what it is. And Adaf spraining his ankle on a
Speaker 2: little bit, you'll be fine. I think I just answered
Speaker 2: that like early and come back. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 2: I even notice.
Speaker 1: We also heard from Pro Bowl full back Patrick Riccard.
Speaker 6: Kind of feels I.
Speaker 4: Mean, you've been in a lot of dreaming teams.
Speaker 3: It's just the hottest, you know.
Speaker 7: This is my eighth training came down here. I think
Speaker 7: it's definitely one of the hottest ones. I think my
Speaker 7: rookie year or second year, I think it was every
Speaker 7: day it was like in the nineties, no rain, no clouds.
Speaker 7: But yeah, it's definitely been hot, especially in full pass.
Speaker 7: It seems like it's been mid nineties and then tomorrow
Speaker 7: we're in Sheldon. It's in the seventies, so like, it's
Speaker 7: all good that will get us better.
Speaker 2: Something about.
Speaker 4: What he likes and he doesn't like him clowns kind
Speaker 4: of build him.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's nice to finally get to prack just together
Speaker 7: and kind of see what plays he likes. And he
Speaker 7: told me he likes every running play, so it makes
Speaker 7: it easy. And for me it's just you know, kind
Speaker 7: of see what he sees in terms of the flow
Speaker 7: of the how the rum play kind of develops, and
Speaker 7: how I should hit the hole to get my guy
Speaker 7: so he can run off of it as little things
Speaker 7: like that. But I mean, with the back like him,
Speaker 7: it just makes you want to just hit someone even harder,
Speaker 7: pushing me even a little bit further, because he's a
Speaker 7: big guy. You know, he's gotta get he's gotta you know,
Speaker 7: run through there. So but he'll run through it. So
Speaker 7: as long as I can move, a guy will be all.
Speaker 2: Good forgot me be Good's so good kind of get.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, okay, so it's a little weird, but
Speaker 7: if you look at Derek, he is a lot of legs,
Speaker 7: Like he is very very long legs. So I think
Speaker 7: that's why he's very fast, very explosive, very hard to
Speaker 7: bring down because when you're moving those big legs, it's
Speaker 7: really hard to bring down. But yeah, it's just incredible
Speaker 7: how his size he has that size, but that speed.
Speaker 3: That's why he's so special. Yet for the Lamar and
Speaker 3: Derek back.
Speaker 7: No, I think I think the fans will kind of
Speaker 7: you know, get that or as the season goes on,
Speaker 7: you know, I think guys will give names.
Speaker 5: In this league, we think of like affix of dread,
Speaker 5: which position of flexibility a little guy like Jared McKinnon
Speaker 5: right running back.
Speaker 4: I feel like you guys have that.
Speaker 5: With big bodies, where likely you can play a bunch
Speaker 5: of different places.
Speaker 6: You've already shown you can play four or five because
Speaker 6: it's Charlie Koehler continued to develop.
Speaker 5: Maybe his skills to how important could that flexibility at
Speaker 5: a heavy strengia.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think regardless of heavier, smaller guys,
Speaker 7: it's all about versatility and being positionless to where you can
Speaker 7: kind of play multiple spots, multiple roles. But yeah, being
Speaker 7: bigger guy, I mean it helps. Like we also have
Speaker 7: you know, say Flowers as a smaller guy but can
Speaker 7: play all over the place. So I think it's I
Speaker 7: don't think it matters about the size. It's more of
Speaker 7: where you can play it. We have a lot of
Speaker 7: guys who can do that, and I know Munkin's gonna
Speaker 7: have a field day of putting us in all different
Speaker 7: places and you know it's gonna be it's gonna be
Speaker 7: a lot of fun of the players that we have.
Speaker 2: You want to do a season within general idea, how
Speaker 2: much you think you're gonna play and what your role
Speaker 2: is gonna be here?
Speaker 3: Do you find that?
Speaker 2: It's just it seems like it's been ever evolving and
Speaker 2: in a lot of your seasons. So is that kind
Speaker 2: of how.
Speaker 3: You look at it?
Speaker 7: So for me, I think it's more of kind of
Speaker 7: how games go. You know, if we're if we're down
Speaker 7: by a lot, we're gonna pass the ball a lot
Speaker 7: and we're not. I'm not gonna be in there running routes. Really,
Speaker 7: it's gonna be more protections and all that stuff. So
Speaker 7: it's it's really how games go. But for me, it's
Speaker 7: like I just try to learn as much of the
Speaker 7: playbook as I can, be as valuable as I can
Speaker 7: in terms of how they can use me and do
Speaker 7: it the best to where they want to use me
Speaker 7: in those positions to where I can get them the
Speaker 7: field as much as it possibly can. But yeah, I
Speaker 7: mean it's it's up to the coaches, it's up to
Speaker 7: me of getting my job done and kind of see
Speaker 7: how everything plays out. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 7: I don't It doesn't matter if I play five one
Speaker 7: hundred five thousand snaps. As long as you win, then
Speaker 7: it's all really matters. I mean, when I first got
Speaker 7: asked to play full back, I didn't play offense in college.
Speaker 7: So for me, it was just like take it step
Speaker 7: by step and really be a sponge, really asked a
Speaker 7: lot of questions. I had to meet a lot with
Speaker 7: coaches and players and even now, you know, Monkins the
Speaker 7: second year here, so last year was kind of learned
Speaker 7: as much as I can. And I miss most of
Speaker 7: the off season when my hip surgery last year, but
Speaker 7: now having the same offensive coordinator a lot of the
Speaker 7: same guys in the offense, I was able to really
Speaker 7: have just a big foundation from last season and kind
Speaker 7: of just grow from that and just kind of just
Speaker 7: keep learning different things, keep refinding things I'm good at.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's the biggest.
Speaker 7: Thing, you know, I think the biggest thing about Mark
Speaker 7: and Isaiah is they have like like backyard football kind
Speaker 7: of sense when they play. They have a lot of
Speaker 7: they can they feel space and and they're able to
Speaker 7: get They're able to get open is the biggest thing, and.
Speaker 3: You can kind of see it from both of them.
Speaker 3: And Lamar is the same way. He can sense.
Speaker 7: Of where they're going to be, even if it's the
Speaker 7: route isn't exactly how it's supposed to be, but they
Speaker 7: get open.
Speaker 3: I think that's like what you can see a lot
Speaker 3: with Isaiah and Mark.
Speaker 7: But I think that all those biggest thing is they
Speaker 7: love to compete, especially those two. They're just always trying
Speaker 7: to get better and different things, but with each other
Speaker 7: because they're very similar players.
Speaker 2: How much more efficient do you think you guys can
Speaker 2: be throwing.
Speaker 5: The ball at?
Speaker 7: I mean, I think very It all depends what we're
Speaker 7: going to see, but yeah, you have two big body
Speaker 7: guys like that who can get open, who can make
Speaker 7: you know, difficult catches and are hard to bring down,
Speaker 7: don't I think it's gonna be very efficient, but it's
Speaker 7: not gonna take away from everything else that we're gonna do.
Speaker 3: You see here not only have to touchdown, but to
Speaker 3: keep the guy gets that last target kind of go Andre.
Speaker 6: I know you guys can get, but what kind of
Speaker 6: confidence should to take and just how much take on
Speaker 6: the next sea?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean he was a quarterback at Villanova and
Speaker 7: then came here as a receiver. And when you when
Speaker 7: you saw him running as a receiver early on in
Speaker 7: like OTAs in camp, he's just like dad.
Speaker 3: This guy is a big body.
Speaker 7: Like he's physical, he's he tacks the ball, but he's
Speaker 7: also very athletic.
Speaker 3: So from the transfer transition to tight end.
Speaker 7: I think it's been a pretty seamless transition for him.
Speaker 3: He's still he's still learning, but I.
Speaker 7: Mean he's he's been, you know, very active in meetings.
Speaker 7: He's been always trying to get better, especially in the
Speaker 7: running game because that's fairly new to him. You know,
Speaker 7: as a quarterback and receiver, you're not really blocking too much.
Speaker 7: But I think, you know, as every day he keeps
Speaker 7: stacking practices and meetings, he's gonna get more and more confidence,
Speaker 7: especially with these games coming up. I'm just excited to
Speaker 7: see what he does.
Speaker 1: And lastly, today we heard from tight end Charlie Kohler.
Speaker 3: Obviously we've got a really good room. We got four
Speaker 3: guys who have played decent amount of football. I think
Speaker 3: I can. I think I can be really effective in
Speaker 3: the run game and then play Action World. Uh, just
Speaker 3: stretching the edge, like being violent on the perimeter, and
Speaker 3: then when you get a chance, and obviously you know
Speaker 3: marken Zage most of the targets. So just like finding
Speaker 3: where I can fit in the play Action World, Boots,
Speaker 3: et cetera, and then slowly earning more snaps. But I
Speaker 3: believe in myself and I know we have a great room.
Speaker 3: But I think I can continue to contribute, and I
Speaker 3: think I showed that at the end of last year,
Speaker 3: and then just keep growing on that. Is this working
Speaker 3: or is this just like the film it's not working
Speaker 3: at all. Yeah, yeah, Okay, I can start making up
Speaker 3: questions too.
Speaker 2: Charlie.
Speaker 4: We heard you know, the rookie fumbles role at the end,
Speaker 4: we heard you telling a lot of the rookies to
Speaker 4: go back. And then your third year on a fairly
Speaker 4: young offense, you feel yourself stepping into more of a
Speaker 4: leadership role. You know, third year tight end, you know,
Speaker 4: one of the leaders on the offense. Just in terms
Speaker 4: of the move, I'm being here for a couple of years.
Speaker 3: That's a great question. But I was just kind of
Speaker 3: being a jerk right there, so that wasn't necessarily a
Speaker 3: great leadership role. But uh, I mean, I certainly don't
Speaker 3: feel like I'm older. But then you see what percentage
Speaker 3: of the team every year as a rookie, you realize
Speaker 3: how old you are in retrospect to the team, even
Speaker 3: just in the third year. So just like obviously we
Speaker 3: have our leaders in the offense who are more vocal,
Speaker 3: like eight and stuff, and so just trying to give
Speaker 3: words of encouragement or like ways that I made mistakes
Speaker 3: in the past or did good things in the past
Speaker 3: helped me play, and just like giving them and a
Speaker 3: lot of stuff is like I think a lot of
Speaker 3: the times that stuff is better when on one sometimes
Speaker 3: just because then they get a little bit overwhelmed with
Speaker 3: so much stuff and then you don't want to like
Speaker 3: you're coming at them. So yeah, how much more look
Speaker 3: at it?
Speaker 2: Just continue to improve. You're blocking as an entree into
Speaker 2: expanding your piated.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well I didn't block anyone in college, so it's
Speaker 3: definitely learning in the first few years. I just think
Speaker 3: that I believe in myself in the passing world, and
Speaker 3: I still do. And so if I can just continue
Speaker 3: to add that run game and the blocking stuff. You know,
Speaker 3: I've put on good weight. I feel like I'm the
Speaker 3: healthiest I've ever been in the league. And so I
Speaker 3: think if I can just continue growing in that world,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of snaps available, so Lineman.
Speaker 2: And Nan honor and I give you advice.
Speaker 3: And adding Mo was great my first two years ear
Speaker 3: league was close with Moe and Ronnie. Ronnie is still here.
Speaker 3: McCarey's great. I mean, I work with some like an
Speaker 3: off season's old tight end, Logan Paulsen. He's helped me
Speaker 3: out a lot. He's old blocking tight end from the Commanders.
Speaker 3: He's been great with me. And then Nick Boyle and
Speaker 3: Pat I mean just in my room too, Like my
Speaker 3: Pat's basically an O lineman who can run so like
Speaker 3: as not in an insult like he's just that good
Speaker 3: and so like, there's so many good people to learn from,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I've been very blessed, been very blessed.
Speaker 4: In the game just getting to see side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's a good question. I definitely wasn't like
Speaker 3: as in in college, I was primarily a receiver, just
Speaker 3: like that's just what I was asked of me. And
Speaker 3: so even though like I was involved in the run game,
Speaker 3: it wasn't like a primary you know, I was backside
Speaker 3: cut off, perimeter blocking. It's a lot different when you're
Speaker 3: like front side of gap scheme er outside zone. And
Speaker 3: so definitely like learning a lot more in the run game,
Speaker 3: just IDs fronts, et cetera. Talking with Linderbaum and all
Speaker 3: the other linemen about how they see it and how
Speaker 3: the tackles fit. It helps me a lot. There's a
Speaker 3: lot more nuances in the run game. It's like so
Speaker 3: uh it's so like fine detail with that. You know
Speaker 3: on TV it's just a bunch of guys hitting each other,
Speaker 3: but there's so many details, just like every single play
Speaker 3: about like do you have a five? Do you have
Speaker 3: a four? Do you have a four? I just going
Speaker 3: from there and learning from those guys who have played
Speaker 3: so much football. It's been really cool in your life.
Speaker 3: You've been here, what has been here?
Speaker 7: Offseason team doing different teams.
Speaker 3: I switched from Bud Heavies to Bud Light. That helped
Speaker 3: a lot. I'm just kidding, but uh no, I mean
Speaker 3: I think that I'm a pro and I'm not in
Speaker 3: college anymore, and so like just the just the whole
Speaker 3: aspect of the of the game, you know, the lifting,
Speaker 3: the better nutrition, the taking care of your body, the
Speaker 3: recovery stuff, and also just healthy. You know, I had
Speaker 3: two core surgeries in two years at becoming Murky year,
Speaker 3: and so I was just so weak. I just didn't
Speaker 3: have like any of the strength distability that I needed
Speaker 3: to be effective. And so just like I like, you know,
Speaker 3: last year getting better than this year is like a
Speaker 3: full healthy year. I feel good. So yeah, a lot
Speaker 3: of it is just kind of growing up, getting out
Speaker 3: of your college ways.
Speaker 2: But yeah, do you feel like you have an effect
Speaker 2: learned a whole new position with just entirely different muscle
Speaker 2: memories than the college position.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I kind of do. It's uh, well, certainly I
Speaker 3: still do the past game stuff. You know, it's very
Speaker 3: much switched. We're in college. I was vast majority receiving
Speaker 3: small majority blocking. Now is the other way around. And yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean it's totally just uh i'd say, like, uh,
Speaker 3: not that I've That's a good way to put it.
Speaker 3: I haven't like changed the position, but I've learned on
Speaker 3: a new position. I like that because I haven't forgotten
Speaker 3: the past game stuff. I'm just not asked about it
Speaker 3: mass to do it as much. But the run game
Speaker 3: stuff is like you said, it's like it's like a
Speaker 3: whole new position in a lot of ways. Especially there's
Speaker 3: a big difference between you know, the perimeter blocking and
Speaker 3: like the front side gaps, geam and that stuff with
Speaker 3: a lot more stuff with that.
Speaker 2: So we think we would be you kick off. I
Speaker 2: assume that's gonna be a substantial portion of responsibility. Tell
Speaker 2: us what you what's you? What's your process for trying
Speaker 2: to understand it? And I get holy we just heard
Speaker 2: a presentation k very.
Speaker 3: Detailed of that from whom from who Oh no, No,
Speaker 3: I'm I'm excited, man, I get to run less. That's
Speaker 3: a win.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Also, it's like, I I think there's gonna be in
Speaker 3: my opinion, you're gonna have like if you watch the
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame game we watched on film, I think
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a ton of returns that are like
Speaker 3: twenty to twenty thirty yard line and then occasional huge
Speaker 3: ones because the biggest difference is, like if you think
Speaker 3: about the old kickoff, we went from the thirty five
Speaker 3: everyone runs down. You got different speeds, different sizes, guys
Speaker 3: folding and falling out. What happens is the kickoff team
Speaker 3: is all on different levels, and so even if you
Speaker 3: break through the first level, there's still guys. When you
Speaker 3: put ten guys across me for nine on kyoff return
Speaker 3: and the ten on kickoff. The thing is they're all
Speaker 3: at the same level when you' to like the thirty.
Speaker 3: And so if you break through the initial punch, I
Speaker 3: think there's gonna be some huge returns. Like I had
Speaker 3: a buddy who played the XFL when they did it,
Speaker 3: and that's what you saw commonly is like twenty yard line,
Speaker 3: twenty five, twenty six, thirty and then bam, you're gone.
Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be pretty interesting. And I
Speaker 3: was excited about it just because I think it'll give
Speaker 3: us more returns, which I think are fun. And also,
Speaker 3: like everyone's played football nos, like when you just turn
Speaker 3: around and run backwards twenty yards and just someone's runs
Speaker 3: right into you and it's like, oh, that was fun.
Speaker 3: So this'll be a little different. But I'm excited. I
Speaker 3: think it'd be great and I get to play and
Speaker 3: I get to like make more tackles and stuff and
Speaker 3: hit people, so it'll be fun.
Speaker 5: Charlie, we talked about in college, we're more in the
Speaker 5: past game. Now it's more block and have you found
Speaker 5: ways to get as much excitement out of maybe finishing
Speaker 5: a block as it is completing a fifteen yard catch.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I so, even in college, I always thought that
Speaker 3: the most satisfying thing in offense is a good four
Speaker 3: minute drill because they know you're running it. You know
Speaker 3: you're running it, their mom knows they're running it, the
Speaker 3: stadium knows you're running it. Everyone knows you're running it,
Speaker 3: and you can still run it. And I think that,
Speaker 3: like the that's kind of the essence of the run
Speaker 3: game is like it's a lot more of just you
Speaker 3: know what I'm doing, I know what you're doing, and
Speaker 3: I'm still better at it than you. And so I
Speaker 3: think that and that's why I think defense takes probably
Speaker 3: stopping the runs here about you know, Coach we even
Speaker 3: coach Zo now used to always say that, still say it.
Speaker 3: But I think a lot of product, especially we get
Speaker 3: these backs like last year we had Gus Justice, JK. Keith.
Speaker 3: This year we got you know JK and Uh Derek
Speaker 3: and then oh these other guys is like that. I
Speaker 3: just take pride in my work. You know. My parents
Speaker 3: kind of taught me that a long time ago, Like,
Speaker 3: it doesn't only matter what you're doing. You gotta take
Speaker 3: pride in what you do, like even if you're doing
Speaker 3: the dishes like which I gotta work on. I got
Speaker 3: in trouble with Mattie about the other day. But I
Speaker 3: gotta take pride in what you do. And I think
