Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: November thirteenth. The Ravens are gearing up for an AFC
Speaker 1: North showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. This is
Speaker 1: a matchup between the top two teams in the division
Speaker 1: and whoever wins it is going to be leading the
Speaker 1: way in the division race. As the Ravens prepare for
Speaker 1: that matchup, today, we heard from several players and head
Speaker 1: coach Jean Harbal. So, let's kick things off with coach Hardball.
Speaker 2: Good to see everybody appreciate you being here. Well, questions
Speaker 2: you have.
Speaker 3: John, when you look Steelers defense, what kind of just
Speaker 3: stands out to you every one?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's what they've always done, you know.
Speaker 2: They it starts with the front guys, the pass rush,
Speaker 2: stopping the run. Then they play downhill from there with
Speaker 2: those guys. But you got to handle those guys trying
Speaker 2: to get trying to make the play get over with quick.
Speaker 2: You know, they're a quick outcome type of the defense.
Speaker 2: So they strive for and their guys understand it and
Speaker 2: they do a good job.
Speaker 4: I mean, it was a lot of questions obviously outside
Speaker 4: of their build and when they decided to change from
Speaker 4: Justin Fields to Russell Wilson's despite the record that they had,
Speaker 4: they haven't lost with Russ. I mean, why do you
Speaker 4: think this team has been able to make such a
Speaker 4: huge change at that point in the season and kind
Speaker 4: of not miss the stride.
Speaker 2: Well, we're getting ready for these guys. They are a
Speaker 2: very good offense right now. I mean, they've done some
Speaker 2: good things. Russ brings a lot to the table kind
Speaker 2: of playing the way he plays, and they've got weapons
Speaker 2: around him, good offensive lines. So we're just getting ready
Speaker 2: to try to play our best defensive game Sunday.
Speaker 5: John, Certain you guys do differently in practice just in
Speaker 5: the year two, you know, like years ago, maybe you know,
Speaker 5: practice more than pants and stuff like that. Realized now
Speaker 5: it's a different time. But do you guys do anything different?
Speaker 5: I guess in terms of the preferation's given, the sort
Speaker 5: of intensity to physicality each routh.
Speaker 2: We always try to practice the highest level, right you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? We really work hard to practice
Speaker 2: the highest level, whatever it might be. Try to the
Speaker 2: best practice we can have. Try to focus on fundamentals.
Speaker 2: We try to practice in such a way as that
Speaker 2: we're gonna try to play in the game because we
Speaker 2: think we're practicing for the game, not for practice sake,
Speaker 2: So we try to simulate the game as much as
Speaker 2: we can within the boundaries of you know, the physicality
Speaker 2: of it, and they trying to get the guys bodies
Speaker 2: ready to go.
Speaker 6: John tut hows games are just getting a field different energy.
Speaker 6: These guys have played great Steelers have not played the
Speaker 6: division of pumb it yet this year. Do you view
Speaker 6: that as an advantage or if there are seasoning as
Speaker 6: that you feel like you guys had I know.
Speaker 2: That we're playing the Steelers this week. You know that's
Speaker 2: they're the guys on the schedule this week, and try
Speaker 2: we try to do the best weekend do to be
Speaker 2: one to know each week and stack up as many
Speaker 2: wins as we can. But we're focused on the challenge
Speaker 2: this week against this team that we're playing.
Speaker 5: John, you guys are facing a couple of moiliar faces
Speaker 5: on the Steelers defense and Patrick Finn and Deshaun Elliott.
Speaker 5: What have you seen on the tape for those two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just think their defense is playing really well.
Speaker 2: I mean every piece of it fits. They've They've got
Speaker 2: roles for their guys every piece fits in a way
Speaker 2: that they wanted to fit. Those two guys specifically are
Speaker 2: playing at a high level doing the roles that I
Speaker 2: think that they've that they've always.
Speaker 3: Been good at.
Speaker 2: I mean that you say, and you see Pat play,
Speaker 2: and you see Deshaun play. That's the type of stuff
Speaker 2: that they've always done well. They did it well here
Speaker 2: as well. So they're playing well when you're.
Speaker 4: Going up against guys that you are familiar with that
Speaker 4: have been a part of this team, especially somebody like
Speaker 4: Patrick Quaint who was just here a big part of
Speaker 4: the communication part. Do you have to worry about changing
Speaker 4: things in terms of looks you guys normally do or
Speaker 4: the word play? I mean, do you worry at all
Speaker 4: about them knowing kind of the secrets of the blames.
Speaker 3: No, we don't worry about that at all.
Speaker 5: John, you love We saw Kyle Hamilton run a little
Speaker 5: bit out here.
Speaker 3: You have an update on him.
Speaker 4: Do you think you're still possibility for him Sunday.
Speaker 2: It's the same as we talked about.
Speaker 6: Goya. I've seen North Football always won in the trunches.
Speaker 6: You know, they got a great one second offensive line,
Speaker 6: and you guys have been playing really.
Speaker 5: Well in the past uple wins in this year about
Speaker 5: how can.
Speaker 7: You guys match up against them?
Speaker 2: We hope to be able to block them. Until we
Speaker 2: match up against them, We're getting ready for a tough game.
Speaker 2: I guess a really good front seven, as you said,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna try to do our best.
Speaker 5: Tell me whether Mark has been doing so many fans
Speaker 5: in so many aspects of the game.
Speaker 6: Well, and you guys, could you get all the self studies,
Speaker 6: maybe put yourself through the shoes at Currens.
Speaker 7: It kind of just like helps.
Speaker 6: To get every pinion this year. Dat it doesn't make
Speaker 6: it kind of tough to ging you to put yourself
Speaker 6: in the home shoes like Natalie what they'll do because
Speaker 6: it doesn't have it as well.
Speaker 7: This is this season.
Speaker 2: I think that we just try to prepare for the
Speaker 2: defense that we're playing. I mean, the Steelers are good defense.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they're gonna play their defense, their calls, the
Speaker 2: way they play them against the plays that they perceive.
Speaker 3: The players that we have.
Speaker 1: Next up is quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: Or uh the battles against the Steelers, what what could have?
Speaker 3: What's kind of standing out? And they're one of the
Speaker 3: few teams that have actually had s bro toal success
Speaker 3: against you. What putting out against the Steelers put out?
Speaker 8: I don't know what it is, man, It's just that
Speaker 8: I I believe that rival uh atmosphere. I believe last
Speaker 8: year we we supposed to have 'em, but things just
Speaker 8: didn't go our way. You know, the football guys wasn't
Speaker 8: on the other side. But it's a whole another yees
Speaker 8: new year. I'm looking forward to the game, Lamar.
Speaker 4: It's a at least a handful of games against the
Speaker 4: Stillers that you haven't been able to be a part
Speaker 4: of for a variety of different reasons. Is that I
Speaker 4: mean it is considering how big of an opponent it is.
Speaker 4: You guys played them twice a year. A has that
Speaker 4: ever kind of stuck with you that they've kind of
Speaker 4: escaped being able to go against you a few times?
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah definitely. But I get the chance
Speaker 8: to go up against him this year, So I'm good
Speaker 8: right now. Hopefully uh second time come around. I don't
Speaker 8: know what they say about that, but right now I'm
Speaker 8: looking forward to that, Lamar.
Speaker 7: You were named again but the third time offensive Player
Speaker 7: of the AFC. The numbers speak for themselves. Do you
Speaker 7: consider yourself that you're in the best moment of your career.
Speaker 3: I can't call it, you know, I'm just focused right now.
Speaker 3: I'm locked in. I'm having fun. That's all. It's all
Speaker 3: to it right now.
Speaker 6: Mike Tomlin kind of went viral for telling reporters we
Speaker 6: call we call you mister Jackson.
Speaker 3: Mister Jackson.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he says, it's that's missus Jackson.
Speaker 3: For interface the next.
Speaker 5: Week he pulled them a thing.
Speaker 6: You know, do you how do you take that kind
Speaker 6: of respect from the Steelers or or or do you
Speaker 6: feel like, you know they just doesn't feel different the
Speaker 6: way they approach the games against you.
Speaker 8: Oh, I appreciate that coming from a coach, you know,
Speaker 8: all the success he's had, But when we on that field,
Speaker 8: it's a it's a different ball game. That's where any
Speaker 8: appointed or not, just as still as my mindset totally
Speaker 8: different when I'm out there, regardless I'm trying to win.
Speaker 3: But I'm I appreciate it though, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But Mari, you and said last week, do you expected
Speaker 1: your chemistry with Deontay Johnson to build pretty quickly? A
Speaker 1: week later, I'm curious how you feel like that's that's ground.
Speaker 3: Just the chemistry Virginia two.
Speaker 8: I feel like it's just good. Actually, we was going
Speaker 8: past out here today. Uh seven on team were looking
Speaker 8: pretty good, looking pretty solid.
Speaker 5: Why do we have any expert runs through its defense?
Speaker 2: Just this particular team and defense?
Speaker 9: What do you see from living the challenges in the presense?
Speaker 8: Those guys are flying around, they getting after, creating turnovers,
Speaker 8: explosive players for the defense.
Speaker 3: Their front seven is amazing.
Speaker 8: Uh, just all around great defense from what I see
Speaker 8: on film.
Speaker 6: Marshiteaking a lit front seven. What do you think it's
Speaker 6: gonna be like going against Patrick Queen on the other side?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 8: Shit, it'd be different. You know, it's not practice no
Speaker 8: more with uh with PQ. But it it'll be different.
Speaker 8: It'll be different cause it's actual, it's game actually not
Speaker 8: just practice now for it'll be different that How you
Speaker 8: done that?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 6: I mean days and days and days and years you
Speaker 6: you and him were offering.
Speaker 9: How can that work for you or against?
Speaker 1: You?
Speaker 3: Knowing him and he knowing you?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 8: I can't call it because I I feel like you
Speaker 8: don't really you don't really get there.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, a player just going against him to practice?
Speaker 8: You know it it'll be different once we out there'llmrow.
Speaker 9: I know you're always kind of looking ahead and you,
Speaker 9: like you said, you haven't played that on all these
Speaker 9: pass games.
Speaker 3: But the Steelers they have one.
Speaker 6: I think was it seven year pass to beat against
Speaker 6: it being a rival?
Speaker 3: I mean, how much do you think that that bothers uh?
Speaker 3: This team?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 3: Uh, I don't know.
Speaker 8: You know, it's a different team right now. It was
Speaker 8: different guys last year, it's different unit of this year.
Speaker 8: But it's always the same goal. We wanna win. We
Speaker 8: wanna be the ones that come out victorious, and that's
Speaker 8: gonna be the goal going into this game.
Speaker 2: Right, I mean for a whole generation, Raven Silvers was
Speaker 2: like the rivalry in the unfitting.
Speaker 3: Right there was I remember watching.
Speaker 9: Do you feel like it's maybe been a little bit
Speaker 9: less as that in the time that you've been here,
Speaker 9: or does it so feel like the game?
Speaker 3: I believe?
Speaker 8: You know, social media got everyone rivals right now? You know,
Speaker 8: every team we go against, no matter who we playing,
Speaker 8: some kind of way, it's some history, you know. Uh
Speaker 8: so uh I I feel like social media just changed
Speaker 8: the difference between the how intense the rival was back
Speaker 8: then then versus none.
Speaker 5: You said you remember watching it, you know those great
Speaker 5: rivalries back back the day. What what do you remember
Speaker 5: about it?
Speaker 8: What sanda ETHI to me, Uh, not really not really
Speaker 8: a offensive battle. It was really like defensive battles back then.
Speaker 8: You know ray Lewis going against part of my reading
Speaker 8: ray Lewis and Sugs, those guys going against Polamalu in
Speaker 8: the defense, even though they don't feel at the same time,
Speaker 8: but mostly explosive plays came from those guys from what
Speaker 8: I watched when I was a kid.
Speaker 5: Could you get into that even though even though you
Speaker 5: were you were on the other side of the vault.
Speaker 8: I mean I played safety like when I was a kid,
Speaker 8: So I was. I was with it, like I was,
Speaker 8: I was intrigue with the game.
Speaker 5: Serious, like when you're growing up, you know, youth football, whatever,
Speaker 5: middle school, high school. Was there ever like a team
Speaker 5: that frustrated you that you couldn't you know, we're a
Speaker 5: player even that frustrated you, Like, did did you ever
Speaker 5: have that experience of a guy who a guy here
Speaker 5: a team that would sometimes.
Speaker 8: Just beat us, like and I was going against them? Yeah, oh,
Speaker 8: youth football. For a lot of that late vikings, I
Speaker 8: hated them.
Speaker 3: I hated them.
Speaker 8: I still hate them because I can think about the
Speaker 8: games we lost against him. I'm like, bro, how do
Speaker 8: we lose? Like yeah, man, Yeah, I hated them. I
Speaker 8: still hate them right now.
Speaker 3: Like the kids cool now.
Speaker 8: I love the kids now, But I wouldn't want my
Speaker 8: child to play for a lot of.
Speaker 3: That ladies.
Speaker 5: Steelers at all.
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, I hate everybody in the league,
Speaker 8: well every team in the league. When I'm going against them,
Speaker 8: I don't I don't have no heart for a team
Speaker 8: I'm going against them. I'm trying to win because they
Speaker 8: don't have a heart for me when they're going against me.
Speaker 8: Probably after the game, it's all love. But on FLA
Speaker 8: pros mm no, you know actually, uhay, they younger though
Speaker 8: they was on younger pounds. But he actually played for
Speaker 8: the like those guys that that uh team that that.
Speaker 3: I hate that team. I don't hate nothing, but I
Speaker 3: hate that team. They always.
Speaker 5: Played against his brothers.
Speaker 8: Or his brother older, his brother a little older, so
Speaker 8: I didn't get the pair. I just watched his brother.
Speaker 8: His brother was joystick first, like I remember watching him,
Speaker 8: and then you know, look he's used to make noise,
Speaker 8: you know, on the younger pounds and he was doing
Speaker 8: He's doing the same thing.
Speaker 3: You know. It was always the same thing.
Speaker 8: Actually, I think Eddie Eddie Eddie was on the older
Speaker 8: pounds though he played for a lot of the Lakes. Yeah,
Speaker 8: Eddie Jackson, Yeah, yeah, I beat him. I beat him
Speaker 8: in the count him, but they they beat me. They
Speaker 8: beat me regular season all the time. As I used
Speaker 8: to get ticked off, like bruh, I used to be
Speaker 8: crying bugger nose, not like kid like I'm hurt. But
Speaker 8: you know, uh, i'd be the winning count that we
Speaker 8: won the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4: So I the mom on the stillers. They've got Elliott
Speaker 4: and and Quaint over there, guys that have been a
Speaker 4: part of this team. Was there ever times when they
Speaker 4: were here that they used to talk about? But what
Speaker 4: happened if they were on the other side of.
Speaker 3: The ball against you?
Speaker 8: I played against the Sun last year. But DeShawn, you know, man, DeShawn,
Speaker 8: we came to lead together.
Speaker 3: You know that.
Speaker 8: That's like that's my brother right there. But nah, we nah,
Speaker 8: not really, we don't really. We don't really talk like
Speaker 8: that among each other. Probably uh, probably on the practice field,
Speaker 8: but not in the locker room. Not that I can
Speaker 8: remember hopefully.
Speaker 3: I don't know. M he tryna win do That's all
Speaker 3: I know you trying to.
Speaker 6: Tom was spent a lot of time talking about.
Speaker 4: But like in cofferens and all the avarious weapons, do
Speaker 4: you think that this year's offense has a different feel
Speaker 4: for what they've.
Speaker 3: Been in the past. I can't call it, uh, I
Speaker 3: can't call it. It's a it's a different team.
Speaker 1: We h.
Speaker 8: We have different guys who who bring different things to
Speaker 8: the table for us to help us out on the
Speaker 8: h office side of the ball. But I can't call
Speaker 8: it cause different guys do different things, uh uh better
Speaker 8: than other guys.
Speaker 3: So I could call him.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 6: But Mark, think on one of your touchdown passes to say,
Speaker 6: against the Bronco's, I think.
Speaker 7: There were shot last week and kind.
Speaker 6: Of leave your hand up there like follows through. It's
Speaker 6: like like a shot in basketball. So that's sort of
Speaker 6: basketball inspire for you to kind of like wait after
Speaker 6: you make the touchdown, bros, kind of leave your hand
Speaker 6: take the follows.
Speaker 3: Dude. I think that's just from practice.
Speaker 8: Me just tryna make something happen and just I don't know,
Speaker 8: it's the risk just getting a putting the ball in
Speaker 8: a uh great place for.
Speaker 3: The receiver to catch the ball. That's all Lamar, That's what.
Speaker 9: If everyone's talking about wanna get Gionte Johnson more involved?
Speaker 6: Is there a final line between you know, look, wanting
Speaker 6: to give him involved balls not destructing the rhythm of
Speaker 6: the rest of the offense. Cause see what things seem
Speaker 6: to be working as they.
Speaker 5: Been for a while.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel like that's part of it, you know,
Speaker 8: just on uh rush things. You know, if it ain't broke,
Speaker 8: don't fix it. That's probably that's probably you know, how
Speaker 8: probably how coach you know tho those guys feeling. But
Speaker 8: we definite wanna get him cause he's a great talent.
Speaker 8: You know, he's a great, a disciptiar offense explosive, uh
Speaker 8: great receiver from what I've seen, you know, I we
Speaker 8: played against some plenty of times and I see it
Speaker 8: on the practice field.
Speaker 3: Definitely wanna get him involved.
Speaker 1: Next, we heard from running back Derrick Henry.
Speaker 5: So, I'm sure you've seen many of the Ravens Steelers
Speaker 5: games in the in the past.
Speaker 1: Do you kind of have any interest pats work, you know,
Speaker 1: your first time in this Robert.
Speaker 10: No, I'm gonna treat you like another games, my first game,
Speaker 10: so I can't treat it like I've been in this
Speaker 10: probably for a long time. Treat like another game, prepared
Speaker 10: the same way and get ready for a dog fight.
Speaker 6: There's the same year that maybe you've heard of the
Speaker 6: tweet that you're not really a Raven until you beat
Speaker 6: the Steelers.
Speaker 5: Have you heard that in the locker room?
Speaker 3: What do you think of that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I've I've heard it. I mean something
Speaker 10: that they've had gone here for a while, and I
Speaker 10: guess I'm gonna be Raven until we get to w So.
Speaker 6: You know, when you look at how you play the game,
Speaker 6: your physicality, you just feel like just a kind of
Speaker 6: rivalry where you just slide right in and and you
Speaker 6: play like you've been in it before.
Speaker 10: I mean, you probably ourself in being physical doing a
Speaker 10: physical team, have a physical defense, a very good defense,
Speaker 10: a top ten defense. So then you gotta embrace the
Speaker 10: physicality through your pr through your preparation throughout the week,
Speaker 10: and then let it go and play off on Sunday.
Speaker 6: What do you remember about watching Raven Steelers game and
Speaker 6: when you were on your couch, was there something that
Speaker 6: really stood out to you?
Speaker 10: I mean, two physical, physical teams to uh playoff teams,
Speaker 10: two really good defenses that will knock your head off
Speaker 10: on any given play, and this a uh a physical game.
Speaker 10: I feel like since I was a kid watching 'em,
Speaker 10: every game against them is just physical.
Speaker 3: That's the only thing you can say.
Speaker 5: Yah, what the you know, these two teams are obviously
Speaker 5: the part record top two teams leads and I know
Speaker 5: every week you're you and you wanna be thilty.
Speaker 3: Have you noticed is there any difference this week either
Speaker 3: in practice, locker room.
Speaker 7: UH as far as going into a uh, you know
Speaker 7: what everyone can serve probably be one of the biggest
Speaker 7: schemes of the year.
Speaker 10: Yeah, we don't try to get overwhelmed or overhype then
Speaker 10: the next opponent, you know, we just try to prepare
Speaker 10: her the same way. They're a great team. We are
Speaker 10: os uh absolutely know that on all three phases. But
Speaker 10: you know, we just gotta trust in our preparation and
Speaker 10: continue to c to prepare or continue to practice execution
Speaker 10: and do all that throughout the week just so it
Speaker 10: happens on Sunday. But you know, they're they're a great team,
Speaker 10: that's no doubt about it.
Speaker 6: There do you have any memories about going against Patrick
Speaker 6: Key previous senior career. I know a lot of Ravens
Speaker 6: fans just reporting to that match up the year.
Speaker 10: I mean, I'll played some when I was on titsan
Speaker 10: he was here, just a game going against each other
Speaker 10: and playing defense, be playing offense, nothing more than nothing less.
Speaker 10: I mean he's a great players. He's playing good football
Speaker 10: for them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, so.
Speaker 7: You the right, Uh how do you feel, h how
Speaker 7: hiding another element to the back field with kinting Mitchell?
Speaker 3: You consider him?
Speaker 7: Uh probably the backfield three headed monster now with Justice
Speaker 7: and your tell what do you say, Yah, hiding KTT
Speaker 7: and Mitchell in the backfield huh uh that's where you
Speaker 7: having that extra element and you consider maybe a three
Speaker 7: headed monster in Baltimore.
Speaker 10: I mean, King's a a great player, you know. Uh
Speaker 10: everybody saw the dynamic and uh big playability that he
Speaker 10: had last year. You know, he's worked hard to get back.
Speaker 10: So excited to have him back and him getting there
Speaker 10: and making plays and being another asset for us on
Speaker 10: on the offense. And you know, me just helping him
Speaker 10: and me Justice helping him anyway we can do.
Speaker 3: You d do you believe in rivalries?
Speaker 5: In the NFL, Like, do you think that's a real thing.
Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you're in college in Alabama. I mean
Speaker 5: everybody knows Aladama ordered, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Is there anything equivalent to that in the NFL. It's
Speaker 3: your to your mind. I really don't know.
Speaker 10: I mean I feel like every sport has a has
Speaker 10: a rival, and in the FEL team has a rival.
Speaker 10: Before I got an NFL, they were a rivals. So
Speaker 10: I mean not just been going on since porsts we're created.
Speaker 1: In the locker room today, we also heard from tight
Speaker 1: end Mark Andrews, what do you think of this game
Speaker 1: against Steelers?
Speaker 7: What all the stage rounds against each other?
Speaker 9: You know, it's a it's a game of a lot
Speaker 9: of tradition, a lot of great games, a lot of
Speaker 9: close games, and two teams that fight against each other,
Speaker 9: and it's an exciting one. It's one of the best
Speaker 9: rivalriers around.
Speaker 5: Does it just kind of feel right.
Speaker 2: To have a high six s greame against them in November?
Speaker 5: First places?
Speaker 9: It's exciting, it's exciting, and you know, but like like
Speaker 9: we always say, it's one week at a time, this
Speaker 9: is you know, Steelers are up next, and we're excited
Speaker 9: about that. Challenge.
Speaker 3: It's a really good team we're going against Mark. I mean,
Speaker 3: Mar's had so much success against you know, but Steelers
Speaker 3: are one of the few teams that actually head success again.
Speaker 7: Do you know, is there a reason why do you
Speaker 7: think over the years that that might have happened that
Speaker 7: he has an attitude with success against them?
Speaker 9: No, I'm not sure. You know, I think that you know,
Speaker 9: every week's different, every week's tough, and obviously being in
Speaker 9: this division, you know, we all know each other pretty well.
Speaker 9: But you know, for us, just about doing our job,
Speaker 9: which we will and you know, hopefully you have a
Speaker 9: great game that.
Speaker 5: It's just been weird that Lamar hasn't played in a
Speaker 5: lot of Steelers game for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 6: Injury, I mean, he's been held out of a couple
Speaker 6: of It's just something that's just.
Speaker 2: Kind of been strange not having them out there for
Speaker 2: you know, what's been your guys biggest rivalry of.
Speaker 9: The Yeah, like you said, everything's you know, certain years,
Speaker 9: different things going on and sometimes been in a good position.
Speaker 9: But you know, we're glad to have him this week
Speaker 9: and it'll be fun.
Speaker 1: You can be one against the patch Queen and Shawn
Speaker 1: Elliott and practice plenty. But you know it's gonna be
Speaker 1: like seeing.
Speaker 9: Them on the other side of this, two guys that
Speaker 9: have nothing but great things to say about you know,
Speaker 9: we're we're we're incredible teammates. You know, guys that you
Speaker 9: go to both playing really good ball, and it'll be
Speaker 9: a fun matchup against with both those guys.
Speaker 7: Thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm sure if you guys had all those uncharacteristic drops,
Speaker 2: is that one you come away from maybe.
Speaker 3: More pissed off than an average lass.
