00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: Welcome in too the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Wednesday,

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 1: December twenty seventh, and the Ravens are getting ready to

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at M ANDT Banks Stadium.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: This is a matchup between two of the best teams

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. If the Ravens win this game, then

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: they secure the top spot in the AFC, and that

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: top seed comes with the first round by as well

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: as home field advantage throughout the playoffs. So there's a

9
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: lot at stake in this game. At today, we had

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: a chance to hear from head coach John Harmone.

11
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody, Really appreciate you being here.

12
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: We're dug in deep in our preparations for a very

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: good Miami Dolphins team, a great football team, a challenge

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: in so many ways all three phases. Very talented team,

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: a very tough team, a very physical team, a very

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 2: fast team, very well coached team, and they execute the

17
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 2: highest level. So we've got the biggest challenge we've had

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: so far this year, and we're excited about it and

19
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: we're looking forward to the game.

20
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 3: Us into that, how much of a motivation the factors

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: knowing that if you.

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 4: Win, you get the US, you plitch that number one seed.

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 2: Uh. Yeah, it's a it's an exciting situation to be

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: and I think you get in this type time of

25
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: the year. Uh, you play yourself into these kind of

26
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: a games where we have an opportunity where the games

27
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,119
Speaker 2: mean so much. We're winning one game, Uh, brings such

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 2: a big reward because of what you've done up until

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: this point. That's a that's a that's a well earned

30
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: that's an earned thing. And the Dolphins have earned the

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 2: same thing. So it's that kind of a game.

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: High power offense last week, so we're getting see I

33
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 5: think this week are the kineatically Does it help you

34
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: play in them?

35
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 6: Or they different animals?

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: Uh?

37
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: You know, they're They're the same in some ways in

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: different other ways. The passing game is is kind of

39
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: a lot different in the way the structure and organize,

40
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: the way the reads work, but the level is very

41
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: similar and and a lot of the players are the same.

42
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: I mean really across the NFL they are, but also

43
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: within the system, there's a lot of similarities. I think

44
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: the level of execution is very similar, the physicality is

45
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: very similar, the timing is very similar.

46
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 4: Is there anything that.

47
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 3: You do in dractice is just similarly heightened.

48
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 5: Bill speed ding out of this leak at.

49
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 4: That entire offense.

50
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean we got fast guys and they

51
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: run as fast as they can, So that's kind of

52
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: how we do it.

53
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: John Kyle Hamilton, which names that opens.

54
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: The player of the week, specifically on the second interception

55
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 2: when he's got.

56
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: Blocked that out.

57
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 6: But what do you watch him see when you watch

58
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 6: that play again?

59
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we just watched again this morning with the team.

60
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: I noticed when he was down there, he kind of

61
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: laid there for a minute, so you know, I don't

62
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: know if he was playing possum or what. Maybe that

63
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: was it. Maybe that's why I got the interception. But

64
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: uh yeah, he came all out on a blitz. They

65
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: high loaded him. Was a good call, got up and pursued.

66
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: That's kind of what I make of it.

67
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: I think the off the defense, he's playing at a

68
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: really high level in terms of effort and and everybody's

69
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: been running to the ball at really the highest level,

70
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: and that's kind of how that happened.

71
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 6: He was this years today, Kyle focus any updates.

72
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: On his chances to play on Sunday, Yeah, you know,

73
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: we're less than forty eight hours from the game, so

74
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: we're just kind of working through all those kind of

75
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: things right now, John, Uh.

76
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 6: The last time you played the Dolphins year that fourth quard,

77
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 6: But it seems like since that point, I mean, this

78
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 6: is this defense seem like.

79
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: A turning point for that defense. And we're gonna say,

80
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 4: does that game.

81
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 6: Does that have any kind of ramifications for for this

82
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 6: that you know, just because that was the last time you.

83
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: Played the Dolphins, right well, I mean schematically it's true,

84
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: does you have to study it? I mean, they did

85
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: some great things against us, uh in the passing game,

86
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: made some huge plays as a massive comeback. Obviously, it

87
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: was a tough pill to swallow for us, you know,

88
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: and all credit to them for the way they executed

89
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: and made those plays, and we learned a lot. We

90
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: learned a lot about ourselves, our coverages. We weren't anywhere

91
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 2: close to where we needed to be execution wise at

92
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: the time, and and they're capable of doing that to

93
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: anybody at any time. So you know, that's why we've got

94
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: to prepare at the highest level and try to be

95
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: at our best.

96
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: Done were against Dons, Mark Gats adding not necessarily prefer

97
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: the building provis public.

98
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: So far, Yeah, I've heard of no setbacks. I think

99
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: he's on schedule as far as i've heard, maybe maybe

100
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: a little head of schedule. I don't know really if

101
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: that's accurate to say, but I've seen him in there

102
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: working and he's in great spirits, and you know.

103
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: We're we're hopeful. You know.

104
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Our our job is to get to that point. You know,

105
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: that's what we have to do, is get to the

106
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 2: point where we're still playing when he comes out, and

107
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna take everything when he comes back, and it's

108
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: gonna take everything we've got.

109
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 6: Mike McDonald, I mean, obviously the way the defense played.

110
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 6: His name is in a lot of places this week,

111
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 6: is it. It's sort of fun to see the wider

112
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 6: world recognize what you've recognized in him, you know, back

113
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 6: when he was a you know, assistant.

114
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

115
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean, I'm excited for all of our care.

116
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: I think we have a great coaching staff. I said

117
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: that many times. I'm really proud of the guys. I

118
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: love the way they work, the way they work together.

119
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: I think they're all very very good coaches, very smart,

120
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: very dedicated coaches. Mike since you brought him up. Is

121
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: doing great, Todd's doing great, Anthony Weaver does a great job.

122
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: Chris Horton does a great job. I mean, I can

123
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: name so many guys that I think are worthy of respect,

124
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: really every single coach, Guys like Willie Taggart on the

125
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: staff that are amazing, Numerous young guys that are going

126
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 2: to be head coaches in this league. So yeah, I

127
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: think it's it's really cool.

128
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 4: Most of the guys the obviously they in their attack.

129
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: He was talking about him and he's kind of like.

130
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 6: A lake nim in his career, was put be good

131
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 6: like the bets back in the league.

132
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: No, Doug Cliff, you know, we had him here, we

133
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 2: had him here. Unfortunately he got off the hook. You know,

134
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: we let him get away, you know, let him off

135
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: the hook. That was one of the great all time

136
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: press conferences. Remember they let him off the hook. Danny

137
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: Green Monday Night Football, Cardinals Bears. But we digress. But

138
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: you know, I think I think their backs, and you

139
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: talk about Raheem Moster, their backs are He's he's the

140
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: belt the league guy. But they'd use all three guys

141
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,559
Speaker 2: and they're all three very similar. They're all very fast,

142
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: they're very physical, they run downhill, they can get the edge.

143
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: They're all good in the passing game. That's probably why

144
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: they're there. That's why coaches got him there, and they

145
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: all do a great job and kind of seeing his success,

146
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 2: Rahem's success after having been here for that period of

147
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: time he was here is really is really neat to

148
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: see John.

149
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: Given the communication and leadership aspect of the center position, you.

150
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: Know how they're gonna have to you.

151
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Know, have to look forward the quarterback and make some

152
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: calls at the line. How much do you look into

153
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: when you're scouting centers, how much do you look into

154
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: a player personality, leadership qualities and what has Tyler been

155
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 3: like in that area when it comes to kind of

156
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: being local and just as leadership.

157
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 2: All right, well, yeah, that's it's an interesting dilemma with

158
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: centers because you know, a lot of times guys who

159
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: play center in the NFL don't always play center in college.

160
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Tyler was one of the rare guys that played center

161
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: in college. You knew he was going to be a

162
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: center in the NFL. Probably because there's such good players

163
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: in college they don't put them at center. You know,

164
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: it's a different position in the NFL because it's it's

165
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: it's more demanded of them athletically. But the other part

166
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: of it, you can definitely measure it from a guy

167
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: when he's a center in college and he had all

168
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: those traits obviously, and you do look at it and

169
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: it really is important. I think we have the best.

170
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbaw. We also had a

171
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: chance to hear from the quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is

172
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: currently leading the way in the NFL's MVP conversation.

173
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 6: More so, when you get the number one seed, how

174
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 6: much motivation would you think that it's this team right now?

175
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: A lot of motivation, But.

176
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 7: I believe we we was already motivated, you know, like

177
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 7: I always say, you know we're chasing right now.

178
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: I I believe we are locked in.

179
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: How do you describe the confidence of this team and

180
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: whether the victory on the road on Christmas can steps

181
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: to just go? Does it elevate that confidence at all?

182
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 7: Nah, I don't believe our confidence. I can't tell you

183
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 7: where we are right now. I say we're very confident,

184
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 7: but I don't believe it elevated or like increased to

185
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 7: our confident. You know, we just keeping a level head. No,

186
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 7: I believe, we know we're capable of you. Just gotta

187
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 7: keep showing the day and day out, just keep getting

188
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 7: better each and every practice.

189
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 8: Uh.

190
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,080

191
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,960

Speaker 6: Something we talks about, uh all season.

203
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 10: That's there, being locked in and staying locked in.

00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 5: That's just the boy.

205
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,040

Speaker 10: Back right post?

209
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

210
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 7: Uh lock then just just trying to get better each

211
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 7: and every day, just taking taking practice as a game,

212
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 7: you know, just everything we do we treated as a game. Uh,

213
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 7: and then we get out get out on the field,

214
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 7: try not to make no mistakes, even though it's kind

215
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 7: of possible sometimes in the NFL game, but try to

216
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 7: be mistake free.

217
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 4: And that's pretty much how we were showing. We're locked in.

218
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: Mistakes.

219
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 9: You had, you know early in the year, I think

220
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 9: seven bumbles in the first five.

221
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 8: Weeks, but there's a button the last the last six

222
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 8: uh one to your to your point about locked in

223
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:46,599
Speaker 8: fall security so forth, how did you how what have

224
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 8: you done to sort of improve that in terms of

225
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 8: whatever it is focused communication just literally uh awareness, whatever

226
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 8: it's been, why has that been really very good?

227
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 4: A lot of shit coots s.

228
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 7: I can't call it just protecting the ball. I think

229
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 7: I said that like a couple of weeks ago, Like

230
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 7: our number one job on the office is to protect

231
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 7: the ball. You know, we can't move on with drives

232
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 7: without the football. You know, we can't score touchdowns without

233
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 7: the ball in our possession. So the biggest thing for

234
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 7: me was just protecting the ball. And I believe I've

235
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 7: been doing a pretty good job better tomorrow.

236
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 5: Obviously made a lot of players over your whole life

237
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 5: with your legs, but your ability to extend plays at

238
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 5: at on a throw this year, do you do you

239
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: feel more comfortable in the pocket kind of escaping pressure

240
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 5: and throwing this year as supposed to previously, or how

241
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: do you feel under pressure this year?

242
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: I'm I'm comfortable, but uh I I I coultique myself

243
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 7: more than anybody else who would. So I pretty much

244
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 7: go back and watch old games of games we lost,

245
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 7: not the games won, and see like mistakes I I

246
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 7: might've had, uh things I may not have seen during

247
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 7: the game, and pretty much just get a feel for

248
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 7: the game when I'm inute now. And that's just how

249
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 7: I go go about things.

250
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: The more to what said today that I guess from

251
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 3: the EXIGI, I will baman you know, out to him

252
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 3: to talk about I don't know if it's a phone.

253
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: Called DM or whatever. Yeah, I d yeah, what do

254
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: you like?

255
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 8: What do you are?

256
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: Why did you inspect him so much? And what what

257
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: kind of.

258
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 7: Prompted you to do that towards a phenomenal player? I

259
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 7: believe you know I seen him. I I think it

260
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 7: was I don't know who. They were playing Georgia in

261
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 7: a in a UH national championship game when I think

262
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 7: they took one quarterback out and put him in. He

263
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 7: threw the game win a touchdown. After that, I was like, bruh,

264
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 7: he's like, he's amazing, you know. I just fell in

265
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 7: love his game then, and like his poise in the

266
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 7: games and stuff like that in situations. And I believe

267
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 7: he was gonna Waring Hosman one year and I I DM,

268
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 7: I'm like, bro, you need to win a Hosma like

269
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 7: I voted for you, you know, stuff like that. But his

270
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 7: game is great, you know, phenomenal quarterback. Uh, he just

271
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 7: gotta keep keep doing doing, just not this week?

272
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: What if?

273
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 6: What if anything stands out in your mind from your

274
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 6: game against him last year where you felt the big

275
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 6: way and then gets away in the quarter.

276
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 4: That's it.

277
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 7: You had the big lead and it just went away.

278
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 7: But that's pretty much what I took away from the game,

279
00:11:59,679 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 7: was it?

280
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: Yeah? You know, so hopefully this shar would be UH

281
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: a lot different.

282
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 10: When more the game, you were walking down to town

283
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 10: on mentioning UH a critic who I remain nameless that you.

284
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: Address UH addressed him?

285
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 5: Uh?

286
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 10: How much of the outside noise did you guys actually

287
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 10: look at or listen to UH in the locker?

288
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 7: Though I really I really don't pay attention to it.

289
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 7: It was just it was the how how how he

290
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 7: presented it. You know That's what made me like the

291
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 7: ain't like you really feel this way? Like you know,

292
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 7: we're a NFL team as well. You know we're not

293
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 7: the high school team going against an NFL team, Like

294
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 7: beat the dog out of 'em. I'm like, damn Like

295
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 7: so I just felt somewhere about that. Not n not

296
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 7: a taking anything away from him. You know, he's just

297
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 7: doing his job. That's his opinion. I just meem like

298
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 7: you said it.

299
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: That's all.

300
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 9: You're used to operating off script and done it throughout

301
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 9: your career. What what's been the difference this year when

302
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 9: you think back to parly part of the season versus

303
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,079
Speaker 9: now in terms of the comfort level of communication and

304
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 9: so cool.

305
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 7: Cause you guys that have, uh, just our our chemistry

306
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 7: just building. Uh just been in the system a lot more,

307
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 7: making me a lot comfortable seeing different defenses, Uh, making

308
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 7: our job a lot easier.

309
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 4: That's right.

310
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 9: You see any similarities between the defensive base every day

311
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 9: you back every day packteer life with uh.

312
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 7: The thing you know in the Dolphins difference, uh defensive

313
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 7: line is phenomenal. Obviously for the Dolphins secondary's phenomenal as

314
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 7: well linebackers.

315
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I see similarities, you know.

316
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 7: And then even though I'm not playing against the offense,

317
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 7: but their offense is explosive, you know.

318
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 4: So yeah, I said, definitely see similarities.

319
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 3: Well, more like you've established where you stand on the NVDA.

320
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: You're honor, but you're you're can you your your.

321
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 4: Eyes are bigger things.

322
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: But do you find the weekly obsession with it and

323
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: this guy's in the lead, and this guy's the favorite,

324
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: and this guy fell out of the right you find

325
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 3: it to be a little ridiculous.

326
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 7: I mean, people, you know, they gotta do their job,

327
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 7: you know, they gotta have something to talk about on

328
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 7: the on the talk shows.

329
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: So I really don't know what to call it.

330
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 7: I'm just focusing on trying to win, So I really

331
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 7: don't pay much, too pretty much attention to it.

332
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 1: That Well, one of your defense you know, they're they're

333
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 1: the brash, the confident. You know, they carry themselves with

334
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: with the swagger. How does that kind of translate to

335
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: the rest of the team when they operate with that

336
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: level of uh in the bravado?

337
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, cause they talk trash all day to us, you know,

338
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 7: even when we going against each other. In practice, so

339
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 7: we pretty much feel how those guys feel on offense

340
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 7: for the opposing team sometimes, you know, so we get

341
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 7: it with for that, and we was like, yeah, we

342
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 7: gotta talk trash back. You know, we gotta start beating

343
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 7: them at the bunch, you know, beating them at their

344
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 7: own game.

345
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 4: So our defense is phenomenal, you know.

346
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 7: Uh, but I like I like the confidence and our

347
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 7: our defense, you know it that it definitely give us

348
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 7: a confidence, you know, to go out there and make

349
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 7: plays and stuff like that happen. Especially if we have

350
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 7: a big play against them, it's like, oh yeah, we

351
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 7: can do this weekend and week out. Uh but keeping

352
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 7: the levelhead is the most important thing for us right now,

353
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 7: you know, uh cause now it's the narrative is changing.

354
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 4: You know. It was just you know, this team is

355
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: the Ravers. We don't know about the Rayvens now. It's old.

356
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 7: They're a no more team. So we not we not

357
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 7: playing no mind in that and to that, you know,

358
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 7: I feel like that's bait. You know, that's clip bait.

359
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 7: And like I said, we tryna make it the February,

360
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 7: So we gonna take take it a game at a

361
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 7: time or after the game, you.

362
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: Said, do you feel like this team performs its best

363
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: when it's under pressure, when the stakes are high? What

364
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 5: is it about this team? Why do you feel like

365
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 5: it does that?

366
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 7: Because I believe we're around a guy, a bunch of

367
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 7: guys who who's been doubted, a a bunch of guys

368
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 7: who got things to prove on our team on both

369
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 7: sides of the ball. So so I believe in any

370
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 7: time where where the underdogs, we gonna always rose rose

371
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 7: to the occasion.

372
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: But we gotta stay locked in to do that.

373
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 10: You yourself, it's one of those guys.

374
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: To myself, absolutely, absolutely.

375
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 9: And what about when you're not the underdogs?

376
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 5: You know this week you know you have best record

377
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,119
Speaker 5: in the underdogs?

378
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,479
Speaker 4: Do you feel that way because we do underdogs?

379
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will hit

380
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: the field on Sunday at one o'clock against the Dolphins.
