1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Do you guys feel like you're playing with Jordan kind of? 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: You know, this maybe a pivotal moment me saying that, 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: but probably I wasn't happier. I wasn't like positive, just 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: because I knew I was about to miss a chunk 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,160 Speaker 1: of time once again in my career and like all 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 1: that compounding, you know, and they're not telling me anything. 7 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: It's just me and my brain. So I'm like, you know, 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 1: this could be it. This could be the end of 9 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: my career here. I haven't seen it, and I don't 10 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: even understand how God could sit there and take it sometime. Oh, 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: these are fighting words, like I would lose my mind. 12 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge. It's a bye week, but no 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: rest for us. Gruten grinders were grinding away here. We're 14 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: trying to get one percent better today. That's oh yeah, 15 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: I've gotten three percent better. Oh it's a good day 16 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: for you. It's a great day for me. We're just 17 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: working for we're working towards that divisional round home game 18 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: January eleven. I'm not sure a guess whoever it is, 19 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: either the Texans, the Bills, the Titans. I can't wait 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: for that game. And we'll get into a chat about 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: that about who we would like to face these three 22 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: teams after our interview that we have today with cornerback 23 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith. But before we get to that, let's read 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: an email here. This one comes from my cousin Matthew Buckley, 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: who I told I told during Christmas that he needs 26 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: to give the lounge to listen. He was reading all 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: the stuff and uh, this is pretty adorable. His son Connor, 28 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,119 Speaker 1: and my nephew, Oh yes, second nephew. Um, he for 29 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 1: his like reading assignments, school reading assignments, will read one 30 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: of the articles on Baltimore rooms that night. That's that's so. 31 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: That's well. They said that. That means that I must be, 32 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, writing it like a third grade level. That's true. Um. 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: So this one goes out to sea Man Connor and 34 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: Matt and the question is email says, I'm well aware 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: that there's now a generally generational shift in the league, 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: and I, by no means want to criticize the Ravens camaraderie. 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: But what's up with swapping jerseys with Pittsburgh? They both 38 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: went to the Steelers game. Those hogs Prence's mink because 39 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: my love of pork products tried to wipe out r 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: G three on every r B O, which was very 41 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: petty come the fourth quarter. I can understand swapping with 42 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: NFC teams that you only see once every four years. However, 43 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: no one wearing purple and black ever wants to display 44 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: a sign Squealers jersey in their man cave or whatever. 45 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: What would ray Ed and Sizzle think of swapping jerseys 46 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: at the Steelers. Well, I will say that a couple 47 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: of things. First of all, this is just that is 48 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: today's era of professional athletes. That's just what the way 49 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: we are. These guys, a lot of them go to 50 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: college together. That's typically these that took place back then, 51 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: the programs and stuff. I know, But I think it's 52 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: us a little bit more. I guess out in the 53 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: open and these days like they're friends with these guys. 54 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: I went to college with them, they trained together in 55 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 1: the off season. I think that there's the one thing 56 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: that I think is different now than compared to if 57 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: you go back, I don't know, thirty years, is that 58 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: these guys know each other from a very young age. 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: Like they grew up together and they were into the 60 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: same camp, they went to the same camps, and they 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: were recruited at the same time, and they all trained 62 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: together for the Combine and for the draft, and so 63 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: there's a little bit more of a camaraderie that extends 64 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: beyond teams, I think before guys even gets to the league, 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: cause I think that's part of it. Well, and the 66 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: jersey swapping thing is just grown importance to players over 67 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: the years. I mean it used to be kind of 68 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: this novel thing. Oh wow, these two guys swapped jerseys. 69 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: Now it's every game. Yeah, there's multiple guys, guys. I mean, 70 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: you have a little insight into how that whole thing works, 71 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: go ahead and share that. I just like, I'm on 72 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: the field at the end of the game, and oftentimes 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: guys will hit players up during the week to say 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: I want your jersey. And earlier for a game this year, 75 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: I think it was maybe the Texans, I can't remember 76 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: exactly which game. It was, three guys one of so 77 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: the equipment staff has to bring out, you know, boxes 78 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: of lar jersey standing out to guys at the end 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: of the game, he signs them. Uh so his is 80 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: certainly and hot as a hot commodity. But to the 81 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: point to he asked about, like, what would older players 82 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: think about this. Ben Roethlisberger and Tarrells Sucks did swap jerseys. Now, 83 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: it was near the end of their career. It was 84 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: a clear sign of respect between them. But they swapped jerseys. 85 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: That was the Yeah, But that was at the very end. 86 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: They would not have done that in the earlier years. 87 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: They wouldn't. They legitimately disliked each other. We're talking a 88 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: lot of smack, Like I did appreciate this sizzle. Legitimiately 89 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: does not like Tom Brady. Yeah, and I think legitimately 90 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: did not like with Ben Roethlisberger. And you still hear 91 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: that every time you play the Steelers. We don't like 92 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: these guys, but we respect them. Well. Now a little 93 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: too chummy for my taste. You don't like it either, 94 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't. I I would just say, like, 95 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: I don't have a big problem with that, you know. 96 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I liked it better in the 97 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: old days, where these guys wanted to fight each other 98 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: in the locker room, you know, outside the locker rooms 99 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: after games. I enjoyed that. Look now there, what I 100 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: will say this that is I feel that happening a 101 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: little bit with the Ravens Brown's rivalry right now. You 102 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: saw when Marcus Peters just signed his extension. O b 103 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: J and Jarvis Landry both put out on social media. 104 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: Good yeah, good, I'm glad he signed. Glad he's gonna 105 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: be there in Baltimore because margat s ain't shy about 106 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: talking to smack. Yeah, we'll have to answer you me 107 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, well, there's plenty Just on that note, 108 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: there's still plenty of like bad blood that exists during games, 109 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: and they can extend post games at times. Like some 110 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: guys are great, but some guys carry that they're not 111 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: interested in postgame handshakes. You know. You saw that after 112 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: the Rams game this year with Marcus um So there's 113 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 1: certainly some of that rivalry that extends beyond just the game. 114 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: So we're gonna get into the interview in a second, 115 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: but uh, we want to give a shout out to 116 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: our game day sponsor from last week's game, which is CSX. 117 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if you knew this, Ryan, but approximately 118 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: every three hours in the United States, either a vehicle 119 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: or pedestrian is involved in a collision with the trade 120 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: and this is serious. Yeah, this is a serious matter. 121 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,799 Speaker 1: So we want to remind everyone to say alert around 122 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: railroad tracks. No texting, headphones, or any other distractions that 123 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: would prevent you from hearing and approaching train. Never mix 124 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 1: rails and recreation. So this is serious. When you guys 125 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: are around the railroad tracks, make sure you're keeping an 126 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: eye out looking around. There's railroad tracks all around at 127 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 1: Big Stadium, so be really careful around those. Um and 128 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: thanks for our friends at CSX, the game based sponsor 129 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: from last week's game. Well, don't be texting ever. I mean, 130 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: let's be honest, too much texting and driving. You want 131 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: me to go on a rent here, we don't. I 132 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: don't want you to. You want me to start it? No, 133 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 1: I don't want you to go either way. That's perfect. 134 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: That's a perfect excuse to jump into our interview with 135 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: Ravens quarterback Jimmy Smith. All right, Jimmy, I gotta start here. 136 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,160 Speaker 1: How did you score the best parking spot in the 137 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 1: whole building? You're better than harves Is, You're better than 138 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: injured players spots. How did you get that spot? That's 139 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: not even a spot. That's because I'm the last remaining 140 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion from the defense. Oh really, that's actually 141 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: the explanation or every time I cont since since we 142 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: have a we have a gold lot and the gold's full, 143 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: I'm not parking obviously in the rookies are noan that, 144 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: So that's the only spot that's open. Real friends, Wait, wait, 145 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: you're talking here or you're talking at the airport, I'm 146 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: talking here. I'm talking here. The gold. You never looked 147 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: and seen the gold lines might be purple or gold. 148 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: Look over there, you see the lines. Those lines will 149 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: tell you where you're supposed to park. And we have 150 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: too many people parking in the gold because a lot 151 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 1: of people in the Gold group or something like that. 152 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: So I come late because I'll be until nine. Okay, 153 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: so everybody, everybody's everybody parks everywhere. So you see sometimes 154 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: Brandon parks. He doesn't really care. You like the walk 155 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: from the back, And I'm just like a park right 156 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: where Kobe used to park. Sizzle parked close. Yeah, I 157 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: kind of took his spot. Yeah, I don't really like 158 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: that curve. I like the other one. You got a grandfather, Dan, 159 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: You might have the nicest whip in the lot, no 160 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: question about, no question, and probably the fastest for for 161 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: the car lovers out there.

See that's the thing. I'm going like 168 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: seven or eight miles. But there's like nine modes in 169 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: this car. When you put it in sport plus and 170 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: you press the gas, it just likes to make that 171 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: I love that noise. That alright. So Spride talks of football. Um, 172 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: so just like, how is this year treat to you? 173 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: I mean, year nine, How have you enjoyed it? It's 174 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: been good? Um. Obviously the beginning sucked for me, getting 175 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: leg whipping all that, but being back and then being 176 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: back where you know, honestly, it wasn't a lot of 177 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 1: pressure for me right away because we got Marcus. So 178 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: I kind of ease back in and you know, found 179 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: my found my spot in my groove. And you know 180 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: it's been twelve games straight undefeated this year. Yeah, you're undefeated. Yeah, 181 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: I like that. When it happened, I know, just watching it, 182 00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I was like that looks really bad. Did you feel 183 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: like at the time that was really really bad? Yeah, 184 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 1: I told Jeff, Like immediately I kind of turned into 185 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: my like a fan, and it was just like like 186 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: here we go again, Like I don't want to do this. 187 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: But then, you know, even getting the news that it 188 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: wasn't season injured, season ending, still was I wasn't happier. 189 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't like positive, just because I knew I was 190 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: about to miss a chunk of time once again in 191 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: my career, and you know that stuff starts to stack 192 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: up after years. I just didn't want to get lost 193 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: and shuffle and you know's not bad things, but just 194 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, be written off like Okay, he's hurt again. 195 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,439 Speaker 1: You know, I still wanted to remain here and finish 196 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: my career and immediately thought of my career in that moment. 197 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: So even in that like on the field, you're thinking 198 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 1: all the big picture things, I just immediately thought, Okay, 199 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: my knee feels funny, it's moving, it's like loose loose, 200 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 1: and it doesn't I didn't know if it was a 201 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: C or what it was. I just knew like that's 202 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: not all, it's not right, you know. And then as 203 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm walking off, I'm just like, I hope it's not 204 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 1: anything torn. And when they said, even when they told 205 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 1: me like, oh, eight weeks, I'm just like, that's half 206 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: the season. That's pretty much a season for me because 207 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: eight games coming back probably you know, two games, six 208 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: games total without playoffs to really do some work and 209 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: have a team believe in you again. So I was 210 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: just happy that, you know, somehow we got Marcus and 211 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: I got to come back and really just work myself 212 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: in and not really have to push it too hard 213 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: or anything like that where you might have put me 214 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: on out of position or something. So you I'm just 215 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: curious you talk about like the big picture, whether the 216 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 1: team is gonna kind of like just I don't know, 217 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: be so frustrated with the injuries that they move on. 218 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: You mean like and you say like finish your career 219 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: in Baltimore, You meant like this injury could cause them 220 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, Jimmy could just never ever 221 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: ever stay healthy. We're not We're done. We're done here. 222 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: That's just saying yeah, pretty much. I mean, because it 223 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: continues that it continually happens for me, and it's always 224 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, high ankle Cayley's it's just something big that 225 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, I don't really necessarily control, but the fact 226 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 1: that it just continues to happen to me. And then 227 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: I've I've also had some other stuff that's happened in 228 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: my career that you know, I feel like all that compounding, 229 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, and they're not telling me anything. That's just 230 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: me and my brain. So I'm like, holy smokes, you know, 231 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: this could be it. This could be the end of 232 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: my career here. And especially when you're going out and 233 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: picking up Marcus Peters, You're like, oh, right, where does 234 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: that put you at? Does that place? Man? I didn't 235 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: see it in the very beginning. That's so we're about 236 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: to pick up Marcus Peters to help us out more, 237 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: and I was like, Oh, this is this is gonna 238 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: sign me off, this is my replace? Yeah, you know, 239 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 1: was it Obviously you're excited about getting another good player, 240 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: but was it a weird like moment at that time 241 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: when they make the Marcus Peters trade and you're like, 242 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: for all the things that you're talking about, and you're like, 243 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm not back yet, but I'm getting close. I'm feeling 244 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: a little better, but I'm still a few weeks away, 245 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: Like was that tough like me? Because now naturally I 246 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to like say anything. You know. I talked 247 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: to my brother no that and obviously snaps are going 248 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: to be taken away, but that was already the case 249 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: at Brandon Car So I really wasn't worried about that. 250 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: It was just more like, this is this is who 251 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,839 Speaker 1: they're bringing in to take my you know, not take 252 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: my job, but like we're gonna move on, We're gonna 253 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: go younger, We're gonna get another first round corner that 254 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: can play ball. So it wasn't like they just picked 255 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: up anybody. I was like, hey, this is legit guy. 256 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: Now you have la Martin and him legit guys. And 257 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: then now I was like, what I'm coming back? Where's that? 258 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: Where was that stash Maan? I obviously don't feel like 259 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm done, but right, you know, so I didn't know. 260 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 1: I didn't know where my career lied here for a second, 261 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: and I didn't really want to go upstairs and be 262 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 1: talking you know, I'm not No, No, I just more 263 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: talked to my brother and was just like, you know, 264 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: he just stay focused, you know, stay focused, you know, 265 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: think of it as you getting your rest, you get 266 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: the EASi your way back in, and as the season 267 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: started to unfold, then I could really see why they 268 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: got Marcus and how it's set up so perfectly for 269 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 1: all of us to be in that secondary workout. Right, 270 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: So now that you're back on the field and you're 271 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: making plays again, like how I guess gratifying is it 272 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: to now be on the other side of this where 273 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: like you can see the kind of you saw the 274 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: letter at the end of the tunnel, and now you're 275 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: playing on that SoC you're playing really well. It's a blessing. 276 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: Like I said, I coming back and I didn't have 277 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: to push the knee extremely hard. They actually let me 278 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: get in their ease in and the young guys took 279 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: I mean not the young guys, but Ma, Marlon and 280 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: Marcus took those reps and they obviously do well. So 281 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: let me go in there and take some reps off 282 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: and still going there and perform. And I think that 283 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: actually helped my health more than it would have if 284 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 1: I had to come right back and the full time 285 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: sixty seventy snaps to play on that name. Yeah. Yeah, 286 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, like we mentioned, both losses this season happened 287 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 1: when you were not on the field. Uh, and Marcus too, 288 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: Just can you kind of take us into the xs 289 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,719 Speaker 1: and nose a little bit of why you guys are 290 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: so much better? I mean, obviously it's just having two good, 291 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: great players on the field, But why are you guys 292 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: so much better with you and Marcus than you were 293 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: when the Ravens went against the Chiefs in the brown? 294 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, once most people about Marcus and I got 295 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: healthy at the same time, as far as our secondary goes, 296 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: just like we can now line up in quarterbacks and 297 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 1: offensive coordinates have to figure out where they're gonna go, right, 298 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: and then we line up in the zero. We're done 299 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: up at one. You know who you're gonna try. And 300 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,199 Speaker 1: the more that more than got used to playing nickel, 301 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: the more it started really solidifying what we do. So 302 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 1: I just think it's more of a situation. Now you 303 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: got three guys out there that can plain man to 304 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: man all all day, Right, what do you want to do? Right? 305 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: Is it? Is it kind of fun for you guys 306 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: to be like, all right, like, let's see, let's see 307 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: who you want to challenge. Truly a pick your poison 308 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of situation. I mean, teams three by one all 309 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: the time. So whoever is on the single side, they 310 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: just have to throw into that guy. That's just the 311 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: game plan, right do you look at like who gets 312 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: targeted most in the game, Like, uh, now we just 313 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: and like I said, it just really depends on who 314 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: ends up on this single the most because it's an 315 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: easier read for a quarterback, especially man the man a 316 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: lot just like he's the single side, we have to 317 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: go there and now I would seem the safety then yeah, 318 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: I notice that and plays accordingly. Yeah, I mean if 319 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: he's seen, we haven't really been attacked outside or we 320 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: haven't been attacked really either. Right, how good do you 321 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: think this defense is? Like, obviously earlier in the year 322 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: I went through struggles if you weren't on the field 323 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: for a lot of that. But but now it just 324 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: seems like the defense is playing great, Like it's it 325 00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: just seems like a really good group. What do you 326 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: think about the defense overall? I think it's I think 327 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: it's a really good group. Um, this group that has 328 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: put together on the fly, because not to fly, but 329 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 1: kind of put together in mid season. Yeah, to to 330 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: to lose the game, you know, forty to twenty five 331 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: and then not lose, not lose another game, and start 332 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: adding pieces as you go people get healthy, be adding pieces, 333 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: and to come out as the number three or four 334 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: defense in the in the league at that time is 335 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 1: it's not unheard of, but it's it's pretty impressive for 336 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: this unit, especially when there was no big name guys 337 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: in our front seven at all. For them to to 338 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: be able to put the pressure on and get the 339 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: sacks that we do and cross turnovers and just play 340 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: the play defense to what we do. I think it 341 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: just shows you a lot of credit hard coaches getting 342 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: us right, um, getting us ready for a scheme that 343 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: fits these players. Wink is blitz more than any coordinator 344 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I mean it's over fifty percent of time, 345 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: which is just like kind of a crazy number. How 346 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: do you guys approach that as corners, because obviously it 347 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: leaves more on the Nyland Um, yeah, yeah, it does. No, no, no, 348 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 1: no no. Um. We just know the balls coming out hot, 349 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: coming out fast, and we're guys that can press and 350 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: play play any coverage. So I think we can blitz 351 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: that much literally because we have the talent in the 352 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: back end to go against your number one receiver. And 353 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: not need a double team really, and that's kind of 354 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: how he've been playing the game. We just you see 355 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: it like we see it over Zero's best guy, right, 356 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: there is no double played the game. Throw the ball, 357 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: let's see what happens. And just he's also brought you 358 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: guys on blitzes, I mean more corner blitzes. Earl's got 359 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: in his first sect. You just destroyed Jared Gold that 360 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: was what your second second? Yeah? Well, I mean, let mean, 361 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: that's my first sack, like actually tackling sacking somebody. The 362 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: other one, I uh, what's his name? Derek Carr was 363 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: running out of bounds and I just ran to him 364 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: before he got out of bounds. Yeah. So, and then 365 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: I got a sack on Hoyer in Cleveland, but it 366 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: was a penalty. Somebody got a penalty so didn't count. 367 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: So that was like my actual first sack. That was 368 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: a good one. Yeah, that was a good one. You 369 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: can call it that more. If he wants to, Brandon 370 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: car might be getting some more. That's fun funny. How 371 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: fun has that been? How much you guys enjoy that? 372 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,959 Speaker 1: I mean, it's great to get gamal call, you know, 373 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: especially you know we're bringing it you know, we're bringing 374 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: the heat. So whenever he said and we're gonna send 375 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: in the corners this week, We're like, yes. Marlon was 376 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: kind of funny. He was just talking about like you 377 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: like blitzing and you think you're like really strong and fast, 378 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: and then sometimes you run into an offense attack when 379 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: you're like, you know what, those guys are pretty big too. Yeah, 380 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: that's funny because we had a little run jow today 381 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 1: and wesing full pads obviously, and I ran I was 382 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: like over and kind of playing linebacker early and in 383 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: uh cover three and I had to fall back into 384 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: the to the to the line of scrimmage. And as 385 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: soon as I've ran in there, I just seen Yonda 386 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 1: and I was just like, oh, I just came up 387 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,639 Speaker 1: on me nowhere, and I like really like act like 388 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 1: it was a game like full extension because he came 389 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: up so fast. It is different in there gets muddy, 390 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: like and trying to run in through any gaps. I'm 391 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: more of an ant siplitzer or anything you like it. 392 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to get in there with them big boys. 393 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: But Marlin did say the first time he saw you, 394 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: he was like, is that guy a linebacker. I mean, 395 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,919 Speaker 1: you're a big barner, so, but but you don't actually 396 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: want to be a line Everybody, every receiver thinks I'm 397 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 1: like six five on the field. Really did they say stuff? Yeah, 398 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: even though b J came and I was like, man's 399 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 1: like six five six six. This always makes me a laugh. 400 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: How big they think. That's a good thing. So, when 401 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: you've been in the leagual while, you kind of become 402 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: a team historian of of sorts. So I always like 403 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: to go to you to get your perspective on kind 404 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,439 Speaker 1: of big picture stuff, not just this year's team. You 405 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: have always said I think that the two thousand and 406 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: eleven team, your first year, that you kind of felt 407 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: like that was the best actual team, even better than 408 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl team. Right, it's not fair just in 409 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: terms of talent. Obviously the superwo agree with that. I 410 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 1: mean I was a rookie year too, So mind you, 411 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything up close, and that's the first 412 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: thing I seen them close, and they were just dominant. 413 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: You're stargazing a little bit, but that we were good. Yeah, 414 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: we'd beat everybody. Seemed that we just lost when they 415 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: were like, I don't feel like playing today. I guess right. 416 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: It was like it was like a San Diego game 417 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: or like damn, but it was just it was totally 418 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: stacked front to from to back. Yeah, so how does 419 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: this seem compare? That's the question. We're stacked. We're good. 420 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean. The difference is our offense is so much better. 421 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: It's hard to compare those teams. Our defense doesn't have 422 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: the name, say they don't have it, Torell. We don't 423 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: have those type of you know what I mean. But 424 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: our defense itself is still producing it and getting getting 425 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 1: a job done. As as that defense, then yeah, I'm curious. 426 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: What did you think of all the talk about Tarrell 427 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: Suaks coming back here? Hit him up as soon as 428 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: it happened. So I'm like, yo, you know where to come. 429 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: Let's not not even play games? He said. You know, 430 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: he gave me that wink. So I'm like hoping, waiting, 431 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 1: and then Chiefs. I can't be madam though Chiefs are 432 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: legit contenders, tough team. They probably went over there like, hey, 433 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's lost three times. Guess he's beaten twice? Stay here, 434 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: you know that right? Right? Right? Probably persuasive for a second, 435 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: you think he would have definitely ended up back here though, 436 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,640 Speaker 1: if they don't play him. I truly, in my heart 437 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: believe he was trying to get back here and I 438 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 1: was the last stop and they're just like, hey, we're 439 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: good too, We're really good too, and staying here it's 440 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 1: the possibility. So I think he just kind of was like, 441 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: you might be right. Well, he didn't have a choice. 442 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: I mean, they put in a waiver class, so we 443 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: couldn't even didn't know gets down. He'd have been like, okay, 444 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: sign me, I'll be at practice. Have a choice. Yeah, Yeah, 445 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: that's true. That's true. That's force him to stay. That's true. 446 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: That's true. Um, So I get the sense that this 447 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: year there seems to be kind of a super Bowl 448 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: or bust mentality around the scene. Yeah. Is that fair? No, 449 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 1: I don't like it anymore. Where I go. He's been 450 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. It's like, oh, guys, it's 451 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: still his football, like it is any given Sunday. Now. 452 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: I have complete faith and confidence. But you know, teams 453 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: are good, and it's playoff football. You know that San 454 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: Francisco Gay and that Bills game, like those good teams 455 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: like it will come down sometimes most of the time 456 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: to a field goal or a touchdown or a fourth 457 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 1: down stop. So it's like, no, but it's a playoff 458 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,399 Speaker 1: caliber team. We're in a fight. We're fighting. That's what 459 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: it's all about. And I think fancy to understand that too. 460 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: They think it's we brought a few good teams and 461 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: beat every other good team and it's like we're invincible, 462 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: and it's like, guys, yeah, let us let us play 463 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: in the game. I'd like to hear that though, And 464 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it. Go back to the 465 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos when number one seed ThEC just like we 466 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: are this year, they smoked the Ravens. Well I'm just saying. 467 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, look at it. They smoked the 468 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: Ravens late in the season, and then we went in 469 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: there and beat him in the playoffs. So like you 470 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: just you get the playoffs. You never know home field. 471 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: Somebody asked me this and about home field advantage, like 472 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: it's it better at worse? And I said, I don't know, 473 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 1: are you more comfortable at home or away? See, I've 474 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of thought we were kind of road dogs this year. 475 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: We are road dogs. We could have done at home too. 476 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 1: Things just how they asked me is like, and I 477 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: was like, sometimes, honestly, for me, it's like I like 478 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: playing away, and not that I don't love playing at home, 479 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: but I like playing away because I get a warrior's mentality, 480 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: like we gotta go in here and kill a lion 481 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: compared to where he's you know, you're at home a 482 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit more chilled and laxed, right, 483 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: And I just I don't know how that conversation came up, 484 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: but it was just like, what do I prefer? And 485 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 1: I'm like, I love the fact that we're at home 486 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: throughout this, but I'm definitely am mentally road dog, Like, 487 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: let's go around from messing people up. Well, this team 488 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: is full of guys who love proving people wrong. Lamar, 489 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: you know, near the top there and when you go 490 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: on the road, you have the fans against you and 491 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff, you do get that edge's something about it, 492 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: something about it. Yeah, that's interesting, So you ring up Lamar. 493 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: I'm curious because Marconna talked this week about Lamar and 494 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: the influence that he has on the entire team. Everyone 495 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: rallies behind this guy. How have you seen that to 496 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: kind of elevate the entire team? I think it's just 497 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: the confidence in him makes everybody believe that we can 498 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: get it done. You know, like we've been here in 499 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: the past and you know, nothing towards Joe or anything 500 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,239 Speaker 1: or offenses before. It's just that you know, we've been 501 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: out there and bring out three and out three, and 502 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: now we give up seven points sometimes and I was 503 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: like a death sentence for our team. Now it's like, 504 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: you know, we we we don't score for the one 505 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: and a half quarters, looking at offense, like what's going on, guys, 506 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: We've got a little bit spoiled. Now, you know that 507 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: we were expecting to score, and I think Lamar has 508 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: brought that. We never thought that before about Joe. Joe 509 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: scored twenty eight points throwing out yeah, we're like thank you, 510 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: that was a great gang, you know what I mean, 511 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: Like now we expect it. Lamar brought that, Like we 512 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: didn't have that before. Right even last year, we didn't 513 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: even expect that all the more this year it's like 514 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,440 Speaker 1: now it's like, hey, oh we know what we need, 515 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: Like we're gonna right, let's go. And when it's a 516 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: little even when it's a little lug as, we're like, 517 00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: got your back though, don't trip, but you guys kick 518 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 1: it in soon. Like, but yeah, do you guys feel 519 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: like you're playing with Jordans kind of? You know, this 520 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 1: might be a pivotal moment me saying this, but probably 521 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, I get that feeling. Yeah, I mean, I'm 522 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: always curious to see down the road, and I'm a 523 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: guy I need to live in a moment for a second, 524 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: but I do. I am curious about how the future holds, 525 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, like, now that it's out there, what are 526 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: you gonna do to try to stop them? Are? You 527 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: know what I mean? And I've watched teams do different 528 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: things and hit the quarterback. You see what they try 529 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: to do in Pittsburgh with the r G three, and 530 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: it's like, what are they gonna try to do to 531 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: stop him? This is the NFL and they will figure 532 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: out something. Now if he is Jordan's, he will beat it. Yeah, 533 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: So I'm waiting to see that too. Yeah. Well, I 534 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: mean we've had how many games now, I mean it's 535 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: over a full season since he's been starting, and not 536 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: to say defense as well. Adjust right, but it's not 537 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: like the guys had five games like the the NFL 538 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: seen Lamar right now, I'm sure thrown everything at him 539 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: this year. I bet college coordinators probably will do better 540 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: against Lamar than the NFL coordinators because NFL quarters ain't 541 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: looking at this every week. My one of my best 542 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: friends as a dB coach for San Diego State, and 543 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,200 Speaker 1: he says, what Lamar is doing, we watched every week. 544 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 1: We gotta play college quarters and cover one because we 545 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: see this every week. Interesting and what teams are doing 546 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: now they're trying to figure that out. But you know 547 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: that that type of ball is played down in double A. 548 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 1: I want to get back to Marcus a little bit, 549 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: and um, you know what's he likes a dude. I 550 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 1: mean you're both California kids. Now you are an l 551 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: A guy. I'm Samardino, Okay, alright, alright, and he is 552 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: an Oakland guy, and they will still seem like the 553 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: same kind of California guy. I don't know. Yeah, give 554 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: me give me the four one on that. We we 555 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 1: we both very West Coast chill. I'm very little chill, 556 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: laid back, have fun. He's the same way. He just 557 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: he has a more of a a little bit more 558 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: crazy than I. You see im. He can get can 559 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: he can get a little crazy. He likes to talk, 560 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: he likes to do all that. Like me, it's like 561 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: I don't like to reach that point because when I 562 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: reach that point, I really want to hurt somebody. I 563 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: can't play with it the way he just he can 564 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 1: go out there and talk to fun, and that's fun 565 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: for me. Like once you say it to me, I'm like, oh, 566 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: we're going after it, like I'm I'm gonna get you now, 567 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: like nothing, no talking, so like nothing, he doesn't, but 568 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: you know he's good at that, and that's just how 569 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: his personality is. He likes to have fun. He likes 570 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: to let you know what he's thinking about. But in 571 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: reality is very he's very mature. He's real chill, laid 572 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,719 Speaker 1: back personality. So when he's like chirping at Odell Beckham 573 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: and Dravis Lantry during the game, what are you thinking? 574 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 1: Do you just like laugh just laugh until us like yo, 575 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: don't get us a fine or don't get us get 576 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: the penalty, but no, no doubt about it, Like man, 577 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 1: I haven't seen it and I don't even understand how 578 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: guys can sit there and take it sometime like these 579 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,639 Speaker 1: are fighting words, like I would lose my mind right well, 580 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: when he was like yelling at guys in l a 581 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: like yelling from the sideline at people. That's people, not people. 582 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: He called that man so many things. I just, I just, 583 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and I was the first time I see 584 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: him do it like that.

Yeah, he's great. Um, And 621 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: like I said to him, like he I do like 622 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: going to him when I need like a little bit 623 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: of contexts beyond just this season, because he's been here. Uh, 624 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: this is two thous and eleven. He's one of the 625 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: old heads now on the team. There's not too many 626 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 1: guys that have been around longer than him. Uh. And 627 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 1: he's honest, shoots straight, and uh, I hope everyone enjoyed 628 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: that interview, and I hope he's here beyond this. Yes, 629 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. The Ravens are not shy 630 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: about spending money in their secondary. Ravens had by far 631 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 1: spent the most money in the secondary, have the most 632 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 1: money committed this season, and I honestly don't expect that 633 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: to change. I'll just say, and this is not just 634 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: because we just had Jimmy on the podcast. When last year, 635 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: you know, there was all sorts of speculation whether the 636 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: Ravens would move on from him before this season, whether 637 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: they would cut Hi because he carried a high cabin 638 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: and every second highest cabin the league yeah pit in 639 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: the league, yeah, corner. Um, So there was all sorts 640 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: of speculation about whether they would move on. And I 641 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: was never a fan of that because I just think 642 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: he's too good of a player and I don't like 643 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: the idea of letting really good cornerbacks walk out the door. Um, 644 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: And they're still speculation about whether he'll be back next 645 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: year because he is a free agent. And I still 646 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: say I want to back, and I think it would 647 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: be a great thing to have him back. So yeah, definitely. Well, 648 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: this and this year's injury was a little bit different 649 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: from some of the previous ones. I mean, this was 650 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: I think his body is was good. I mean, this 651 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 1: is peanut plowing into his knee I play. I mean 652 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: that was a different kind of flukey injury. I think 653 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 1: earlier in his career he had injuries that were um, 654 00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: like you know, growing or hernia, but then he has 655 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: has some really flu like the Liz Frank like what 656 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: do you do to prevent that? And then that's just 657 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 1: a really serious injury that takes a long time. Yeah, 658 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: like that one hard to ever blame any guy for 659 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: any injury, but like some guys, it seems like you're 660 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: just snake bitten in a way that like your body 661 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: just is something about you. Like Campanero, I was thinking 662 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: like something's not right with that the way he was constructed, 663 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: or or something that constantly leads the injuries. And you 664 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: had that question about Jimmy, but this year it was different. 665 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: A guy go creans into your knee. What he can't 666 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: do about that. It's not a problem with his body. Um, 667 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, I hope Jimmy's here for a while. But 668 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: with that said, let's talk about this the wild card 669 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: playoffs here, and what do you think? Who do you 670 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 1: think is gonna come out of it? And who do 671 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 1: you want to see come out of it? You would 672 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: you prefer the Ravens to play, because this is a 673 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 1: pretty good debate. I think that the Patriots will beat 674 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: the Tech that will beat the Titans, and I think 675 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: that the Bills will beat the Texans. So I'm going 676 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: with a favorite in the Patriots Titans game, and I'll 677 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 1: going with the underdog in the Texas Bills game. Okay, 678 00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: Bills go in the Houston and win, and uh, that 679 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: would mean that the Ravens faced the Bills. That was 680 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: one of the closest games of the Ravens season this 681 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: year they have They were knocking on the doorstep in 682 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: the red zone fourth down, Marcus Peters knocks it away, 683 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: chugs I'll be off. Um, one of my favorite places season. 684 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest. So do you agree with 685 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: your drinking going on at the end. Do you agree 686 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: with that prediction? Um? You know, I think that I 687 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: think the Titans have a real shot of going to 688 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 1: Foxboro and winning. I think they do too. But I'm asking, 689 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: so you're predicting the Titans to win? Are you gonna do? 690 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: We always know what, you know what? You know? You 691 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:57,160 Speaker 1: backed me into a corner. I'm gonna say it. I 692 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: think the Titans win, okay, And I think the Ravens 693 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,000 Speaker 1: get the Titans all right. I just think New England's 694 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: got some they got some big time problems right now, 695 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: and the Titans are really hot. Tannehill is playing very well. 696 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: And I know you've dogged Tannehill in our just casual conversations, 697 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: and he was at the Dolphins. I was like to Ryan, 698 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: Tanniall is a good quarterback. And you always be like, 699 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, you think the Dolphins are so good 700 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: every year. You always think they're gonna beteos. And now 701 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: look at them. Now look at them, Tannhalls looking pretty good. Well, 702 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: you would say every year we would play the Dolphins. 703 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 1: We did play the Dolphins just about every year. You 704 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: would predict the loss every single year, and you were 705 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: wrong every single year. I think you predicted the loss 706 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 1: this year too. Now I'm right about Tannehill. And and 707 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: that was the other thing you said about Tannehill. You 708 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: were like, the Dolphins couldn't pay him enough and they 709 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: gave him a huge deal, that that was a great deal. 710 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: That was a great deal. I don't think the only 711 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: thing that might have been wrong with that deals that 712 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: Tannehill was underpaid. I like to keep these conversations based 713 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: in reality. That's started throwing out lies. You you were 714 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: all about that, that was the truth, Brian Tannehill, guy 715 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: can win all you know, and you were you were 716 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: all about. The truth is that you thought it was 717 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: a good deal. That is not the truth. That's the truth. No, No, 718 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,520 Speaker 1: that was truth at the time. That was the truth. 719 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: So now you're dying. You're just talking about how you 720 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: were a fan of him. And I'm saying he's playing 721 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: really good. Now he's talking that he's pretty good. I 722 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 1: paid him too much, But I'm just saying he's proven 723 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 1: that he's pretty good now with a different team. Yeah, 724 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,200 Speaker 1: he hasn't. He hasn't playing great. So Jerry Henry is 725 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: the leading rushi in the NFL. The Ravens have had 726 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 1: some problems. I think the Titans are gonna win. And 727 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: I really go back and forth on who I would 728 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: prefer the Ravens to face. I really like, I'm struggling 729 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 1: to make my mind up about this because I think 730 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: the the Titans or the Texans have the most star power. 731 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: You look at it and DeShawn Watson, you know, DeAndre Hopkins, 732 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: j J. Watts gonna come back. They've had a good 733 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: ground game. Like I generally will just say who has 734 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 1: the most talent. That's who I don't want to face. 735 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: Right then, I look at the Bills, and they gave 736 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,920 Speaker 1: the Ravens the hardest time. They have a great defense 737 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: that gave that they were really the team that bottled 738 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: up Lamar the best. Then the Patriots bottled him up 739 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,080 Speaker 1: a little bit on the ground. Um, but they gave 740 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: some lamarsin problem. Now, the game was very windy. I 741 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,120 Speaker 1: was there. It was tough to pass in those conditions, 742 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,480 Speaker 1: but they were also playing in those conditions too exactly, 743 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: and they missed some big passes early in that game 744 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: that if Josh Allen hits a few of those, maybe 745 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: because of the wind. I mean, he's got some ACRC 746 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: issues too, But if he hits some of those, that's 747 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: a very different game. They could have beaten the Ravens 748 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: that game. Um, So that's why I don't really want 749 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,960 Speaker 1: to see them. The Titans, like I'm saying, Tannehill has 750 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. The 751 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,800 Speaker 1: second half. Derrick Henry is the leading rusher. If the 752 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: Ravens defense has an issue is defending the run, that 753 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,800 Speaker 1: particularly on the edges. In my opinion, now we have 754 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: seen when they commit to stopping the run, I think 755 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: they can do it, Like when they say first and 756 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: foremost we will not let them run on them. The 757 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 1: Ravens can do that, I think. But then I think 758 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: Tannehill can create some problems because he can move out 759 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: to the pocket. He's he's just playing ball right now. 760 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,360 Speaker 1: They remind me a little bit of the Ravens. Like 761 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: they're getting hot at the right time. They have this 762 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: quarterback who's playing pretty well. Their defense isn't great, it's 763 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,200 Speaker 1: led by Deem Peace, the same defensive coordinator. The ground 764 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: game is good. Like they're not a great team, but 765 00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: they're pretty solid and they're getting hot. Yeah, here's here's 766 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: can not play anybody, let's just get another by Uh. 767 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: Here's honestly my take on it. I don't I am 768 00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: not going into this weekend with any rooting. It's just 769 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: because I truly think you can make a case for 770 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 1: any of these teams and why they are the team 771 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:20,800 Speaker 1: to play, or why they the team that you should 772 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: be scared of. I don't think that there's a massive 773 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: difference between any of them, like, oh man, I would 774 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: love to face whoever it is. I don't feel that 775 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: way about any of them. I think that all of 776 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,800 Speaker 1: them have things that scare me. All playoff teams for 777 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: a reason. Yeah, and they all have some deficiencies that 778 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: make me feel like the Ravens will win. I think 779 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: that whoever the Ravens get, I think the Ravens they 780 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 1: will certainly be favored and they will. I think they 781 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 1: would expect them to win and beat that team. So 782 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: I know you're not sweating the Division round at all. 783 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,600 Speaker 1: You've been just walk around crow and just I don't 784 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: even want to happen to be ca. Yeah, I'm not 785 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: worried about who we play in the Division Round. That's correct, Yeah, 786 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: that is correct. I wish I were as confident as 787 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: you and I think that I obviously think this is 788 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: an awesome team, but like you're just walk around like 789 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: like the games of Dubs already. I think the Ravens 790 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: that's that you have predicted loss every week this season. Yeah, 791 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,840 Speaker 1: I have confidence in the scene. So that's not wavering. 792 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 1: I am saying that they're gonna they're gonna win the 793 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: division round whoever it is. I'm like, Jimmy, you're you're 794 00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: like these these fans that Jimmy's talking about where he's 795 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: like settled down, it's the playoffs. I'm confident. I'm confident 796 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: you're like those fans. Yeah, I have some confidence in 797 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: my team. I'm like, Jimmy, you gotta you gotta see 798 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: that up each week time. I think. I don't think 799 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be like you know, honestly, I don't think 800 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be You're gonna get to the playoffs and 801 00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a cake walking You'll be able to 802 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: just cruise on through. But I think that the Ravens 803 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,080 Speaker 1: will absolutely win the divisional round. Do you want to 804 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,360 Speaker 1: see the Patriots win so that they want that's a 805 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: good question. I want the Patriots to win. I want 806 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: the Patriots. I want yes, I want that.
