Speaker 2: guys play. I can't wait to take the field with them,

11
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: proud of them. It's the last game of the regular season,

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: and we want to play our best game. That's what

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: we'll be trying to do, and that's what we've been

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: focused on. So what questions you have, John, do you

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: think with every my I mean everyone knowing AMC North

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: titles them. I mean, is that something you've even had

17
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: to mention at all this week to them?

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Well?

19
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 2: I haven't had to, but I have, you know, And

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: obviously we have so much to play for. We try

21
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: to we try to take it one game at a time,

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: one series at a time. On play at a time,

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: and that's what we'll be trying to do in this game. Again.

24
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: But this game, because of all the other games behind, it,

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: is an opportunity to put a banner up here, you know,

26
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: and that means a lot, especially in the AFC North.

27
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's tough division, and so winning the AFC

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: North is is even even a greater accomplishment. That's the

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: opportunity we have this week, and that's what we're going

30
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: to be fighting for. John. Temperature is gonna be close

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: to freezing. I think gus over thirty miles per hour.

32
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: I guess.

33
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: Is it useful to have a kind of potential primer

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: for a playoff weather going forward?

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Sure? I mean it's January, you know, so whatever weather

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: you get, you get. That's how it works. So we

37
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: had a chance to get out there this week today

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: obviously it was very cold and windy, and we were

39
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: out there in it, and the guys were on point

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: and they were sharp, and it was good.

41
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: At great representation and for the Pro Bowl nine players,

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: most many teams, including Z eight Flowers, the first wide

43
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 4: receiver ever for a Raven to be Yeah, So to

44
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 4: have that, you know, I know, you focus on Saturday night.

45
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: But when you know that's those athletes come in, what

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: does that mean to you? Well, I mean it's it's

47
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: uh you know, the individual awards are are our it's

48
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: our team awards. You know, that's how we look at

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: It's a team. You know, football is the ultimate team sport,

50
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: and uh so the awards are the ultimate team awards.

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 2: And uh to see guys accomplish that, you know, as

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: a coach and fulfilled dreams and those kinds of things,

53
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: and to be a part of that, you know, we

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 2: all take great pride in that. So so many guys

55
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: I think were at nine guys or something like that,

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: and uh also a number of alternates. Uh, it's just

00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 2: a it's a great it's a great thing, and it

58
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: means a lot. And it's something that I mean, my

59
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 2: brother was a pro bowler, you know, and uh, once

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: a Pro Bowler, always a Pro Bowl. You're a Pro

61
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: Bowl player and you earned that. And it's just how

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: many people in the world can say that, you know.

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 2: If it's just a pretty incredible things. So proud of

Speaker 2: The fifty sacks the third time ever, but second year

68
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,840

Speaker 6: sustain success.

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean, I just think it's another thing.

73
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: It's another group effort. Obviously the people involved with deserve

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: so much credit. Hats off to the guys. I mean,

75
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: it's just it's it's it's certainly the past rushers, you know,

76
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: and it's certainly the past rush coaches, and you know,

77
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 2: Chuck and Matt and Dennis are a big part of

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: that and all the coaches. But it's also the you know,

79
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: the coverage. You know, the coverage lends itself to sacks,

80
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: and the linebackers are blitzing and doing things like that.

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: So it's a team effort and proud of those guys.

82
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: But see how we can get on Saturday. That's the

83
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 2: that's the next one, next challenge.

84
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 5: Back to the approval. How good you feel for Daniel

85
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: followay La. It's a there being the alternate and you

86
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 5: know what he's going through this year. We play for

87
00:03:58,920 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: sure started all day.

88
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: I feel great for him. He had to take a

89
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: lot of a lot of criticism from some you know,

90
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: some standing around. It's very circle right here. You know,

91
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: what are you going to replace Daniel Filele? You know,

92
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: and uh, we didn't, we didn't bite, you know, and

93
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: I think I think get paid off. So but his

94
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: best football, you know, this is not this is just

95
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 2: the beginning for Daniel, you know, and expect me to

96
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 2: go play his best game on Saturday night. So but

97
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 2: I think it's also a confidence boost for him. You

98
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: know that people he gets to see that. He doesn't

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: just have to read that you know what people think

100
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: he's not. He gets a chance to realize that players

101
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 2: and coaches around the league and what they think he

102
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: is and uh, proven by when they vote for you

103
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: to be in the Pro Bowl. So heck, yeah, for Daniel,

104
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: it's a it's a great thing. And I'm really happy

105
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: for him and excited for him. But I'm more excited

106
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: for the player he's going to become. John Hell's Justice

107
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: Hill is the more the illness or is he still

108
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 2: on the product? Who's Justice Hill? Illness? Illness? Some me

109
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: still in the protocol because he's got to come out

110
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: in practice. Uh, but the illness is what's keeping him

111
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 2: off the field right now. It's not the concussion concussion

112
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: is gone. Does that make a challenging for Saturday for him?

113
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: He to clear the protocol?

114
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: I can say he has a big here. It's challenging, sure, yeah,

115
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: a lot of challenges, challenges everywhere, challenging, challenging, sport, challenging everything, challenges,

116
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: challenges left and right, challenges everywhere. All right, A little

117
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: way I asked the question cracks me up. So I

118
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: got to. I had to. I had to had to.

119
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: I had to call it out. I had to call

120
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 2: it out. Anything else, all right?

121
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: In the locker room today, we also heard from some

122
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: of the guys who are recognized with the Pro Bowl selections.

123
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens have nine Pro Bowlers this year, and one

124
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: of them is safety Kyle Hamilton, who was selected for

125
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: his second straight Pro Bowl. Here's what he had to

126
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: say in his time with the media.

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: Super thankful, super just blessed to being in the position

128
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: that I'm in and I can't take it for granted.

129
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: And family just reminds me every day. You know you're

130
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 3: you're as special kid, and I appreciate them because I

131
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: want to be here without them for.

132
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: You when you make it another time to Pro Bowls.

133
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: Is there a significance of it that comes with being

134
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: a multi time guy, that this is now something that

135
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 1: he's done, you know, two years in a row. What

136
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: does the.

137
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 4: Significance of do with that?

138
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I don't think it's something I'll really

139
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: realize right now. You know, when I'm done playing football

140
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 3: and just see the culmination of everything that I've done,

141
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: I think it's it'll be a little more satisfactory then

142
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: a little cooler look back on it and have my

143
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 3: kids say, like, my dad was a multi.

144
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 5: Time pro bowler.

145
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: But you know, at the same time, we got bigger

146
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: things to accomplish. We're trying to hopefully not be in

147
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and go or be in the Pro

148
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: Bowl and being the Super Bowl. So but still thankful,

149
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 3: still honored, still blessed tea team.

150
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Why you have nine guys that end up making and

151
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: then a whole bunch of alternate What does that say

152
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: about the quality of this team, this roster.

153
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just top to bottom, one of,

154
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 3: if not the strongest roster in the league. And we've

155
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: got a bunch of talent, a bunch of guys around

156
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: here making each other better, and we're all focused on

157

00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: said yesterday, people getting individual awards just proves that we're

162
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 3: it's something that we don't take for granted.

163
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 6: Kyle, is there something you like about being the first

164
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,440

165
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 5: No scoreboard washing, just you guys knowing that if you

00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 5: take care of business, you'll be where you want to be.

167
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a it's a little bittersweet kind

168
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 3: of through our weekly schedule and kind of for for

169
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 3: a turn there, we got back and I think they

170
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 3: changed it what like late Sunday night or something like that,

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: But you know, it just goes to show like everybody's

172
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 3: locked in kind of the same schedule that we had

173
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 3: last few weeks. You know, it's not a usual conventional

174
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 3: schedule and I feel like we've had very minimal of

175
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: those this year and.

176
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,560

Speaker 2: You know, you know, if you win, you get the

179
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: AFC North title.

180
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 6: Is that something as a team, as players do you

181
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 6: talk about amongst each other?

182
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're second goals in the off season.

183
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: It's win the division when the AFC. Actually rewind that

184
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: when the next game, when the division, when the AFC win.

185
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 5: Super Bowl, And.

186
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: You kind of gotta take it one step at a time.

187
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: So like we're on our roupon our way to win.

188
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 3: The AFC North right now, and that'll put us on

189
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: a good track to go win the AFC and then

190
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl. So looking at it from that perspective,

191
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: we're we're we got a big opportunity this weekend to

192
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: accomlis one of those steps.

193
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 4: Any payback from the weekend bet on your mind at

194
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: all to going into this game, which is solely simply

195
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 4: you win, you win.

196
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a little bit.

197
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: You know, we still have this hour takes to our

198
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: mouths from that game and a lot of opportunities to

199
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 3: win that one and obviously didn't come out with a win.

200
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: So I think we're gonna play with a little bit

201
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 5: of a chip on our shoulder.

202
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: And really prove ourselves right more than anything that we're

203
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: gonna go out and doesn't matter the implications.

204
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 5: Whatever that we need to go out and playing a

205
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 5: football game.

206
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: If we do, then we'll be as you champs put, guys.

207
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: Don't make the problem all each year.

208
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: Three.

209
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I wish our Cutty could get in, but.

210
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 3: That doesn't go to say that their seasons aren't recognized.

211
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: And a bunch of dudes, and uh, I'm trying to

212
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: think who else.

213
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: Who else got.

214
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:26,120

215
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: are like, well, I know, like what they did, and

216
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 3: obviously not everybody can be in it, but I think

217
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: it's still it's still a blessing that we have all

218
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 3: these people on our team who were able to make

219
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl and then a bunch of people who

220
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: quote unquote snow for the Pro bole means you.

221
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: Got a pretty good team. So we're just gonna keep

222
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 5: that rolling going in the playoffs.

223
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: And did you grow up the play games or dreaming

224
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: about the Pro bank player? And when did you At

225
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 1: what point of your career did you think, Hey, I

226
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: think I'm good enough to get there?

227
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean I always wanted to be in

228
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 3: the NFL. Won Pro Bowl would have been a plus

229
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 3: for sure, but yeah, grown up just seeing like Sean

230
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 3: Taylor hit that punter in the Pro Bowl. That was

231
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 3: pretty cool, and I was like, yeah, I want to

232
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: do that someday. Obviously can't do that now, but yeah,

233
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 3: it's always been a dream of mine. And you know,

234
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 3: that's why I'm kind of saying, you gotta take a

235
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 3: step back and just see where you're at and just

236
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: be thankful for everything that's to come to Fruith.

Speaker 1: guard Daniel He was selected as a Pro Bowl Alternate,

239

Speaker 1: this year, and really has developed into a quality player

242
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240

246
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,200
