WEBVTT - John Harbaugh & Lamar Jackson: Ravens Practice 12/27 Press Conferences

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in too the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Wednesday,

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.239
<v Speaker 1>December twenty seventh, and the Ravens are getting ready to

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at M ANDT Banks Stadium.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>This is a matchup between two of the best teams

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. If the Ravens win this game, then

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>they secure the top spot in the AFC, and that

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>top seed comes with the first round by as well

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>as home field advantage throughout the playoffs. So there's a

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.639
<v Speaker 1>lot at stake in this game. At today, we had

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a chance to hear from head coach John Harmone.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good to see everybody, Really appreciate you being here.

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 2>We're dug in deep in our preparations for a very

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 2>good Miami Dolphins team, a great football team, a challenge

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.320
<v Speaker 2>in so many ways all three phases. Very talented team,

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 2>a very tough team, a very physical team, a very

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 2>fast team, very well coached team, and they execute the

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 2>highest level. So we've got the biggest challenge we've had

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>so far this year, and we're excited about it and

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>we're looking forward to the game.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 3>Us into that, how much of a motivation the factors

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 3>knowing that if you.

0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Win, you get the US, you plitch that number one seed.

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 2>Uh. Yeah, it's a it's an exciting situation to be

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:11.840
<v Speaker 2>and I think you get in this type time of

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the year. Uh, you play yourself into these kind of

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>a games where we have an opportunity where the games

0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:21.119
<v Speaker 2>mean so much. We're winning one game, Uh, brings such

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 2>a big reward because of what you've done up until

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.399
<v Speaker 2>this point. That's a that's a that's a well earned

0:01:25.440 --> 0:01:27.319
<v Speaker 2>that's an earned thing. And the Dolphins have earned the

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.759
<v Speaker 2>same thing. So it's that kind of a game.

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 5>High power offense last week, so we're getting see I

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 5>think this week are the kineatically Does it help you

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 5>play in them?

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 6>Or they different animals?

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're They're the same in some ways in

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 2>different other ways. The passing game is is kind of

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot different in the way the structure and organize,

0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the way the reads work, but the level is very

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>similar and and a lot of the players are the same.

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean really across the NFL they are, but also

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 2>within the system, there's a lot of similarities. I think

0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the level of execution is very similar, the physicality is

0:01:57.880 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 2>very similar, the timing is very similar.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 4>Is there anything that.

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 3>You do in dractice is just similarly heightened.

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 5>Bill speed ding out of this leak at.

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 4>That entire offense.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean we got fast guys and they

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>run as fast as they can, So that's kind of

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 2>how we do it.

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>John Kyle Hamilton, which names that opens.

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.519
<v Speaker 2>The player of the week, specifically on the second interception

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 2>when he's got.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Blocked that out.

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.959
<v Speaker 6>But what do you watch him see when you watch

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 6>that play again?

0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we just watched again this morning with the team.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I noticed when he was down there, he kind of

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.040
<v Speaker 2>laid there for a minute, so you know, I don't

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>know if he was playing possum or what. Maybe that

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 2>was it. Maybe that's why I got the interception. But

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 2>uh yeah, he came all out on a blitz. They

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>high loaded him. Was a good call, got up and pursued.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 4>That's kind of what I make of it.

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 2>I think the off the defense, he's playing at a

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>really high level in terms of effort and and everybody's

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>been running to the ball at really the highest level,

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and that's kind of how that happened.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:54.760
<v Speaker 6>He was this years today, Kyle focus any updates.

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.720
<v Speaker 2>On his chances to play on Sunday, Yeah, you know,

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>we're less than forty eight hours from the game, so

0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>we're just kind of working through all those kind of

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.359
<v Speaker 2>things right now, John, Uh.

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 6>The last time you played the Dolphins year that fourth quard,

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 6>But it seems like since that point, I mean, this

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 6>is this defense seem like.

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 4>A turning point for that defense. And we're gonna say,

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 4>does that game.

0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 6>Does that have any kind of ramifications for for this

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 6>that you know, just because that was the last time you.

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Played the Dolphins, right well, I mean schematically it's true,

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>does you have to study it? I mean, they did

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:27.040
<v Speaker 2>some great things against us, uh in the passing game,

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>made some huge plays as a massive comeback. Obviously, it

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>was a tough pill to swallow for us, you know,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 2>and all credit to them for the way they executed

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and made those plays, and we learned a lot. We

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 2>learned a lot about ourselves, our coverages. We weren't anywhere

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 2>close to where we needed to be execution wise at

0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>the time, and and they're capable of doing that to

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 2>anybody at any time. So you know, that's why we've got

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.160
<v Speaker 2>to prepare at the highest level and try to be

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 2>at our best.

0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:56.240
<v Speaker 3>Done were against Dons, Mark Gats adding not necessarily prefer

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 3>the building provis public.

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>So far, Yeah, I've heard of no setbacks. I think

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 2>he's on schedule as far as i've heard, maybe maybe

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 2>a little head of schedule. I don't know really if

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 2>that's accurate to say, but I've seen him in there

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 2>working and he's in great spirits, and you know.

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>We're we're hopeful. You know.

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 2>Our our job is to get to that point. You know,

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 2>that's what we have to do, is get to the

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.679
<v Speaker 2>point where we're still playing when he comes out, and

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna take everything when he comes back, and it's

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna take everything we've got.

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 6>Mike McDonald, I mean, obviously the way the defense played.

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 6>His name is in a lot of places this week,

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.159
<v Speaker 6>is it. It's sort of fun to see the wider

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 6>world recognize what you've recognized in him, you know, back

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 6>when he was a you know, assistant.

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I mean, I'm excited for all of our care.

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I think we have a great coaching staff. I said

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 2>that many times. I'm really proud of the guys. I

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>love the way they work, the way they work together.

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I think they're all very very good coaches, very smart,

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.920
<v Speaker 2>very dedicated coaches. Mike since you brought him up. Is

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>doing great, Todd's doing great, Anthony Weaver does a great job.

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 2>Chris Horton does a great job. I mean, I can

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>name so many guys that I think are worthy of respect,

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 2>really every single coach, Guys like Willie Taggart on the

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 2>staff that are amazing, Numerous young guys that are going

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 2>to be head coaches in this league. So yeah, I

0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 2>think it's it's really cool.

0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 4>Most of the guys the obviously they in their attack.

0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 4>He was talking about him and he's kind of like.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 6>A lake nim in his career, was put be good

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 6>like the bets back in the league.

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 2>No, Doug Cliff, you know, we had him here, we

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>had him here. Unfortunately he got off the hook. You know,

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>we let him get away, you know, let him off

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the hook. That was one of the great all time

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.440
<v Speaker 2>press conferences. Remember they let him off the hook. Danny

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Green Monday Night Football, Cardinals Bears. But we digress. But

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think I think their backs, and you

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 2>talk about Raheem Moster, their backs are He's he's the

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 2>belt the league guy. But they'd use all three guys

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.559
<v Speaker 2>and they're all three very similar. They're all very fast,

0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.040
<v Speaker 2>they're very physical, they run downhill, they can get the edge.

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 2>They're all good in the passing game. That's probably why

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>they're there. That's why coaches got him there, and they

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 2>all do a great job and kind of seeing his success,

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.919
<v Speaker 2>Rahem's success after having been here for that period of

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 2>time he was here is really is really neat to

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>see John.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Given the communication and leadership aspect of the center position, you.

0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Know how they're gonna have to you.

0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 3>Know, have to look forward the quarterback and make some

0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:18.159
<v Speaker 3>calls at the line. How much do you look into

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.200
<v Speaker 3>when you're scouting centers, how much do you look into

0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 3>a player personality, leadership qualities and what has Tyler been

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.280
<v Speaker 3>like in that area when it comes to kind of

0:06:27.440 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>being local and just as leadership.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, yeah, that's it's an interesting dilemma with

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 2>centers because you know, a lot of times guys who

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 2>play center in the NFL don't always play center in college.

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Tyler was one of the rare guys that played center

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>in college. You knew he was going to be a

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>center in the NFL. Probably because there's such good players

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 2>in college they don't put them at center. You know,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:47.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a different position in the NFL because it's it's

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>it's more demanded of them athletically. But the other part

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>of it, you can definitely measure it from a guy

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>when he's a center in college and he had all

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 2>those traits obviously, and you do look at it and

0:06:58.360 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 2>it really is important. I think we have the best.

0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>That was head coach John Harbaw. We also had a

0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 1>chance to hear from the quarterback Lamar Jackson, who is

0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>currently leading the way in the NFL's MVP conversation.

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 6>More so, when you get the number one seed, how

0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 6>much motivation would you think that it's this team right now?

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.160
<v Speaker 4>A lot of motivation, But.

0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 7>I believe we we was already motivated, you know, like

0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 7>I always say, you know we're chasing right now.

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 4>I I believe we are locked in.

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 1>How do you describe the confidence of this team and

0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>whether the victory on the road on Christmas can steps

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:44.400
<v Speaker 1>to just go? Does it elevate that confidence at all?

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 7>Nah, I don't believe our confidence. I can't tell you

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 7>where we are right now. I say we're very confident,

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 7>but I don't believe it elevated or like increased to

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 7>our confident. You know, we just keeping a level head. No,

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.400

<v Speaker 7>keep showing the day and day out, just keep getting

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 7>better each and every practice.

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 8>Uh.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.080

<v Speaker 6>Something we talks about, uh all season.

<v Speaker 10>That's there, being locked in and staying locked in.

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 5>That's just the boy.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.040

<v Speaker 10>Back right post?

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 7>Uh lock then just just trying to get better each

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 7>and every day, just taking taking practice as a game,

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 7>you know, just everything we do we treated as a game. Uh,

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 7>and then we get out get out on the field,

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.120
<v Speaker 7>try not to make no mistakes, even though it's kind

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.840
<v Speaker 7>of possible sometimes in the NFL game, but try to

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 7>be mistake free.

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 4>And that's pretty much how we were showing. We're locked in.

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Mistakes.

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.679
<v Speaker 9>You had, you know early in the year, I think

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 9>seven bumbles in the first five.

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 8>Weeks, but there's a button the last the last six

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.280
<v Speaker 8>uh one to your to your point about locked in

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:46.599
<v Speaker 8>fall security so forth, how did you how what have

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 8>you done to sort of improve that in terms of

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:56.439
<v Speaker 8>whatever it is focused communication just literally uh awareness, whatever

0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 8>it's been, why has that been really very good?

0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 4>A lot of shit coots s.

0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 7>I can't call it just protecting the ball. I think

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 7>I said that like a couple of weeks ago, Like

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 7>our number one job on the office is to protect

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 7>the ball. You know, we can't move on with drives

0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.480
<v Speaker 7>without the football. You know, we can't score touchdowns without

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.960
<v Speaker 7>the ball in our possession. So the biggest thing for

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.199
<v Speaker 7>me was just protecting the ball. And I believe I've

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 7>been doing a pretty good job better tomorrow.

0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 5>Obviously made a lot of players over your whole life

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 5>with your legs, but your ability to extend plays at

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 5>at on a throw this year, do you do you

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 5>feel more comfortable in the pocket kind of escaping pressure

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.040
<v Speaker 5>and throwing this year as supposed to previously, or how

0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 5>do you feel under pressure this year?

0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 7>I'm I'm comfortable, but uh I I I coultique myself

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.040
<v Speaker 7>more than anybody else who would. So I pretty much

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.439
<v Speaker 7>go back and watch old games of games we lost,

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 7>not the games won, and see like mistakes I I

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 7>might've had, uh things I may not have seen during

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 7>the game, and pretty much just get a feel for

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 7>the game when I'm inute now. And that's just how

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 7>I go go about things.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>The more to what said today that I guess from

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 3>the EXIGI, I will baman you know, out to him

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.079
<v Speaker 3>to talk about I don't know if it's a phone.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 4>Called DM or whatever. Yeah, I d yeah, what do

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:07.000
<v Speaker 4>you like?

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:07.960
<v Speaker 8>What do you are?

0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 3>Why did you inspect him so much? And what what

0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 3>kind of.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 7>Prompted you to do that towards a phenomenal player? I

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.160
<v Speaker 7>believe you know I seen him. I I think it

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 7>was I don't know who. They were playing Georgia in

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 7>a in a UH national championship game when I think

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 7>they took one quarterback out and put him in. He

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.240
<v Speaker 7>threw the game win a touchdown. After that, I was like, bruh,

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 7>he's like, he's amazing, you know. I just fell in

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 7>love his game then, and like his poise in the

0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 7>games and stuff like that in situations. And I believe

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 7>he was gonna Waring Hosman one year and I I DM,

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, bro, you need to win a Hosma like

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 7>I voted for you, you know, stuff like that. But his

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 7>game is great, you know, phenomenal quarterback. Uh, he just

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:46.440
<v Speaker 7>gotta keep keep doing doing, just not this week?

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>What if?

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 6>What if anything stands out in your mind from your

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 6>game against him last year where you felt the big

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 6>way and then gets away in the quarter.

0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 4>That's it.

0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 7>You had the big lead and it just went away.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:59.080
<v Speaker 7>But that's pretty much what I took away from the game,

0:11:59.679 --> 0:11:59.960
<v Speaker 7>was it?

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? You know, so hopefully this shar would be UH

0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 4>a lot different.

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.600
<v Speaker 10>When more the game, you were walking down to town

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:11.280
<v Speaker 10>on mentioning UH a critic who I remain nameless that you.

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 4>Address UH addressed him?

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 10>How much of the outside noise did you guys actually

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 10>look at or listen to UH in the locker?

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 7>Though I really I really don't pay attention to it.

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.400
<v Speaker 7>It was just it was the how how how he

0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 7>presented it. You know That's what made me like the

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.079
<v Speaker 7>ain't like you really feel this way? Like you know,

0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:33.960
<v Speaker 7>we're a NFL team as well. You know we're not

0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.080
<v Speaker 7>the high school team going against an NFL team, Like

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 7>beat the dog out of 'em. I'm like, damn Like

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 7>so I just felt somewhere about that. Not n not

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 7>a taking anything away from him. You know, he's just

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.040
<v Speaker 7>doing his job. That's his opinion. I just meem like

0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 7>you said it.

0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 4>That's all.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 9>You're used to operating off script and done it throughout

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 9>your career. What what's been the difference this year when

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 9>you think back to parly part of the season versus

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:00.079
<v Speaker 9>now in terms of the comfort level of communication and

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:00.720
<v Speaker 9>so cool.

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 7>Cause you guys that have, uh, just our our chemistry

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.720
<v Speaker 7>just building. Uh just been in the system a lot more,

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.439
<v Speaker 7>making me a lot comfortable seeing different defenses, Uh, making

0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 7>our job a lot easier.

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.439
<v Speaker 9>You see any similarities between the defensive base every day

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 9>you back every day packteer life with uh.

0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.200
<v Speaker 7>The thing you know in the Dolphins difference, uh defensive

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 7>line is phenomenal. Obviously for the Dolphins secondary's phenomenal as

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.080
<v Speaker 7>well linebackers.

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I see similarities, you know.

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 7>And then even though I'm not playing against the offense,

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 7>but their offense is explosive, you know.

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.240
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I said, definitely see similarities.

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, more like you've established where you stand on the NVDA.

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 3>You're honor, but you're you're can you your your.

0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 4>Eyes are bigger things.

0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.560
<v Speaker 3>But do you find the weekly obsession with it and

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:54.679
<v Speaker 3>this guy's in the lead, and this guy's the favorite,

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 3>and this guy fell out of the right you find

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 3>it to be a little ridiculous.

0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 7>I mean, people, you know, they gotta do their job,

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:03.800
<v Speaker 7>you know, they gotta have something to talk about on

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 7>the on the talk shows.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 4>So I really don't know what to call it.

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm just focusing on trying to win, So I really

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 7>don't pay much, too pretty much attention to it.

0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That Well, one of your defense you know, they're they're

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the brash, the confident. You know, they carry themselves with

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 1>with the swagger. How does that kind of translate to

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the team when they operate with that

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 1>level of uh in the bravado?

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, cause they talk trash all day to us, you know,

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 7>even when we going against each other. In practice, so

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 7>we pretty much feel how those guys feel on offense

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.680
<v Speaker 7>for the opposing team sometimes, you know, so we get

0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 7>it with for that, and we was like, yeah, we

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 7>gotta talk trash back. You know, we gotta start beating

0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:41.600
<v Speaker 7>them at the bunch, you know, beating them at their

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 7>own game.

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.360
<v Speaker 4>So our defense is phenomenal, you know.

0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.800
<v Speaker 7>Uh, but I like I like the confidence and our

0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 7>our defense, you know it that it definitely give us

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 7>a confidence, you know, to go out there and make

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 7>plays and stuff like that happen. Especially if we have

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.400
<v Speaker 7>a big play against them, it's like, oh yeah, we

0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 7>can do this weekend and week out. Uh but keeping

0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.680
<v Speaker 7>the levelhead is the most important thing for us right now,

0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.880
<v Speaker 7>you know, uh cause now it's the narrative is changing.

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:04.960
<v Speaker 4>You know. It was just you know, this team is

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 4>the Ravers. We don't know about the Rayvens now. It's old.

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 7>They're a no more team. So we not we not

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 7>playing no mind in that and to that, you know,

0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:14.920
<v Speaker 7>I feel like that's bait. You know, that's clip bait.

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.320
<v Speaker 7>And like I said, we tryna make it the February,

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 7>So we gonna take take it a game at a

0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 7>time or after the game, you.

0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Said, do you feel like this team performs its best

0:15:23.320 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 5>when it's under pressure, when the stakes are high? What

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.240
<v Speaker 5>is it about this team? Why do you feel like

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 5>it does that?

0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 7>Because I believe we're around a guy, a bunch of

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.320
<v Speaker 7>guys who who's been doubted, a a bunch of guys

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 7>who got things to prove on our team on both

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 7>sides of the ball. So so I believe in any

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 7>time where where the underdogs, we gonna always rose rose

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:46.920
<v Speaker 7>to the occasion.

0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 4>But we gotta stay locked in to do that.

0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 10>You yourself, it's one of those guys.

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 4>To myself, absolutely, absolutely.

0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 9>And what about when you're not the underdogs?

0:15:58.240 --> 0:15:59.680
<v Speaker 5>You know this week you know you have best record

0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.119
<v Speaker 5>in the underdogs?

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:05.479
<v Speaker 4>Do you feel that way because we do underdogs?

0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.680
<v Speaker 1>That was quarterback Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will hit

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 1>the field on Sunday at one o'clock against the Dolphins.
