0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good seeing everybody. Sure appreciate you being here. Good day,

0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 2>good workday. Guys are locked in and we are all

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:35.639
<v Speaker 2>hands on deck pointing toward Saturday night at the at

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>the Bank. And I can't wait to see how our

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.519
<v Speaker 2>guys play. I can't wait to take the field with them,

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 2>proud of them. It's the last game of the regular season,

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>and we want to play our best game. That's what

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>we'll be trying to do, and that's what we've been

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 2>focused on. So what questions you have, John, do you

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>think with every my I mean everyone knowing AMC North

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>titles them. I mean, is that something you've even had

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>to mention at all this week to them?

0:00:58.120 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I haven't had to, but I have, you know, And

0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.720
<v Speaker 2>obviously we have so much to play for. We try

0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to we try to take it one game at a time,

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>one series at a time. On play at a time,

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 2>and that's what we'll be trying to do in this game. Again.

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>But this game, because of all the other games behind, it,

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>is an opportunity to put a banner up here, you know,

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.960
<v Speaker 2>and that means a lot, especially in the AFC North.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's tough division, and so winning the AFC

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>North is is even even a greater accomplishment. That's the

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 2>opportunity we have this week, and that's what we're going

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>to be fighting for. John. Temperature is gonna be close

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>to freezing. I think gus over thirty miles per hour.

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 3>Is it useful to have a kind of potential primer

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 3>for a playoff weather going forward?

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Sure? I mean it's January, you know, so whatever weather

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.360
<v Speaker 2>you get, you get. That's how it works. So we

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to get out there this week today

0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 2>obviously it was very cold and windy, and we were

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 2>out there in it, and the guys were on point

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>and they were sharp, and it was good.

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 4>At great representation and for the Pro Bowl nine players,

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.400
<v Speaker 4>most many teams, including Z eight Flowers, the first wide

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 4>receiver ever for a Raven to be Yeah, So to

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 4>have that, you know, I know, you focus on Saturday night.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>But when you know that's those athletes come in, what

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 2>does that mean to you? Well, I mean it's it's

0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 2>uh you know, the individual awards are are our it's

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.800
<v Speaker 2>our team awards. You know, that's how we look at

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a team. You know, football is the ultimate team sport,

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>and uh so the awards are the ultimate team awards.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>And uh to see guys accomplish that, you know, as

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a coach and fulfilled dreams and those kinds of things,

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.120
<v Speaker 2>and to be a part of that, you know, we

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 2>all take great pride in that. So so many guys

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I think were at nine guys or something like that,

0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and uh also a number of alternates. Uh, it's just

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>a it's a great it's a great thing, and it

0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>means a lot. And it's something that I mean, my

0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 2>brother was a pro bowler, you know, and uh, once

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 2>a Pro Bowler, always a Pro Bowl. You're a Pro

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>Bowl player and you earned that. And it's just how

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 2>many people in the world can say that, you know.

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.959
<v Speaker 2>If it's just a pretty incredible things. So proud of

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 2>those guys, happy for him, and it means a lot

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>to us.

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 5>John Vicos Donover as an organization of.

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>The fifty sacks the third time ever, but second year

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>in a row. What is it about truck Smith and

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 2>what that passwatch.

0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 6>Group has done the last few year was pretty much

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 6>sustain success.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, I mean, I just think it's another thing.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 2>It's another group effort. Obviously the people involved with deserve

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>so much credit. Hats off to the guys. I mean,

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 2>it's just it's it's it's certainly the past rushers, you know,

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 2>and it's certainly the past rush coaches, and you know,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Chuck and Matt and Dennis are a big part of

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>that and all the coaches. But it's also the you know,

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the coverage. You know, the coverage lends itself to sacks,

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and the linebackers are blitzing and doing things like that.

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's a team effort and proud of those guys.

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 2>But see how we can get on Saturday. That's the

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 2>that's the next one, next challenge.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 5>Back to the approval. How good you feel for Daniel

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 5>followay La. It's a there being the alternate and you

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>know what he's going through this year. We play for

0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 5>sure started all day.

0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel great for him. He had to take a

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 2>lot of a lot of criticism from some you know,

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 2>some standing around. It's very circle right here. You know,

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 2>what are you going to replace Daniel Filele? You know,

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.440
<v Speaker 2>and uh, we didn't, we didn't bite, you know, and

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:14.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I think get paid off. So but his

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>best football, you know, this is not this is just

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.680
<v Speaker 2>the beginning for Daniel, you know, and expect me to

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.159
<v Speaker 2>go play his best game on Saturday night. So but

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I think it's also a confidence boost for him. You

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.760
<v Speaker 2>know that people he gets to see that. He doesn't

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 2>just have to read that you know what people think

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>he's not. He gets a chance to realize that players

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>and coaches around the league and what they think he

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 2>is and uh, proven by when they vote for you

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to be in the Pro Bowl. So heck, yeah, for Daniel,

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.400
<v Speaker 2>it's a it's a great thing. And I'm really happy

0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 2>for him and excited for him. But I'm more excited

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>for the player he's going to become. John Hell's Justice

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 2>Hill is the more the illness or is he still

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 2>on the product? Who's Justice Hill? Illness? Illness? Some me

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>still in the protocol because he's got to come out

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>in practice. Uh, but the illness is what's keeping him

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.480
<v Speaker 2>off the field right now. It's not the concussion concussion

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>is gone. Does that make a challenging for Saturday for him?

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 4>He to clear the protocol?

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I can say he has a big here. It's challenging, sure, yeah,

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of challenges, challenges everywhere, challenging, challenging, sport, challenging everything, challenges,

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 2>challenges left and right, challenges everywhere. All right, A little

0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>way I asked the question cracks me up. So I

0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>got to. I had to. I had to had to.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I had to call it out. I had to call

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>it out. Anything else, all right?

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>In the locker room today, we also heard from some

0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>of the guys who are recognized with the Pro Bowl selections.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:36.520
<v Speaker 1>The Ravens have nine Pro Bowlers this year, and one

0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>of them is safety Kyle Hamilton, who was selected for

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>his second straight Pro Bowl. Here's what he had to

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>say in his time with the media.

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Super thankful, super just blessed to being in the position

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 3>that I'm in and I can't take it for granted.

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.960
<v Speaker 3>And family just reminds me every day. You know you're

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 3>you're as special kid, and I appreciate them because I

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>want to be here without them for.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>You when you make it another time to Pro Bowls.

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 1>Is there a significance of it that comes with being

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.919
<v Speaker 1>a multi time guy, that this is now something that

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>he's done, you know, two years in a row. What

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>does the.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Significance of do with that?

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think I don't think it's something I'll really

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 3>realize right now. You know, when I'm done playing football

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 3>and just see the culmination of everything that I've done,

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 3>I think it's it'll be a little more satisfactory then

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 3>a little cooler look back on it and have my

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 3>kids say, like, my dad was a multi.

0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 5>Time pro bowler.

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 3>But you know, at the same time, we got bigger

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>things to accomplish. We're trying to hopefully not be in

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:34.360
<v Speaker 3>the Super Bowl and go or be in the Pro

0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Bowl and being the Super Bowl. So but still thankful,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 3>still honored, still blessed tea team.

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Why you have nine guys that end up making and

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>then a whole bunch of alternate What does that say

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:46.159
<v Speaker 1>about the quality of this team, this roster.

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's just top to bottom, one of,

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 3>if not the strongest roster in the league. And we've

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.280
<v Speaker 3>got a bunch of talent, a bunch of guys around

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.600
<v Speaker 3>here making each other better, and we're all focused on

0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 3>one goal and when you got a lot of people

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>that are are like minded and work hard, and harm

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>said yesterday, people getting individual awards just proves that we're

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.960
<v Speaker 3>having team success. So we're all blessed and thankful to

0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 3>be in the position that we're in, and you know,

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 3>it's something that we don't take for granted.

0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 6>Kyle, is there something you like about being the first

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 6>game this weekend where you don't have to worry about anything.

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 5>No scoreboard washing, just you guys knowing that if you

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 5>take care of business, you'll be where you want to be.

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think it's a it's a little bittersweet kind

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 3>of through our weekly schedule and kind of for for

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.720
<v Speaker 3>a turn there, we got back and I think they

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 3>changed it what like late Sunday night or something like that,

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 3>But you know, it just goes to show like everybody's

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.360
<v Speaker 3>locked in kind of the same schedule that we had

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.280
<v Speaker 3>last few weeks. You know, it's not a usual conventional

0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 3>schedule and I feel like we've had very minimal of

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>those this year and.

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 5>Guys have adapted really well and hopefully goes showcase set

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 5>on Saturday.

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know, if you win, you get the

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 2>AFC North title.

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 6>Is that something as a team, as players do you

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 6>talk about amongst each other?

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean we're second goals in the off season.

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:09.200
<v Speaker 3>It's win the division when the AFC. Actually rewind that

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 3>when the next game, when the division, when the AFC win.

0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Super Bowl, And.

0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 3>You kind of gotta take it one step at a time.

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 5>So like we're on our roupon our way to win.

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 3>The AFC North right now, and that'll put us on

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:22.920
<v Speaker 3>a good track to go win the AFC and then

0:08:22.920 --> 0:08:25.840
<v Speaker 3>win the Super Bowl. So looking at it from that perspective,

0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 3>we're we're we got a big opportunity this weekend to

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:29.840
<v Speaker 3>accomlis one of those steps.

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 4>Any payback from the weekend bet on your mind at

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 4>all to going into this game, which is solely simply

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 4>you win, you win.

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think a little bit.

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, we still have this hour takes to our

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.200
<v Speaker 3>mouths from that game and a lot of opportunities to

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.200
<v Speaker 3>win that one and obviously didn't come out with a win.

0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 5>So I think we're gonna play with a little bit

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 5>of a chip on our shoulder.

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>And really prove ourselves right more than anything that we're

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:55.240
<v Speaker 3>gonna go out and doesn't matter the implications.

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 5>Whatever that we need to go out and playing a

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 5>football game.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 3>If we do, then we'll be as you champs put, guys.

0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Don't make the problem all each year.

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Three.

0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I wish our Cutty could get in, but.

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.959
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't go to say that their seasons aren't recognized.

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:18.160
<v Speaker 3>And a bunch of dudes, and uh, I'm trying to

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:19.080
<v Speaker 3>think who else.

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Who else got.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 3>Snub Mark Ronnie? Yeah, I see, like all those guys

0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 3>are like, well, I know, like what they did, and

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 3>obviously not everybody can be in it, but I think

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 3>it's still it's still a blessing that we have all

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 3>these people on our team who were able to make

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 3>the Pro Bowl and then a bunch of people who

0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>quote unquote snow for the Pro bole means you.

0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 5>Got a pretty good team. So we're just gonna keep

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.120
<v Speaker 5>that rolling going in the playoffs.

0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.199
<v Speaker 1>And did you grow up the play games or dreaming

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>about the Pro bank player? And when did you At

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>what point of your career did you think, Hey, I

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>think I'm good enough to get there?

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh yeah, I mean I always wanted to be in

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 3>the NFL. Won Pro Bowl would have been a plus

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.679
<v Speaker 3>for sure, but yeah, grown up just seeing like Sean

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Taylor hit that punter in the Pro Bowl. That was

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:06.880
<v Speaker 3>pretty cool, and I was like, yeah, I want to

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 3>do that someday. Obviously can't do that now, but yeah,

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 3>it's always been a dream of mine. And you know,

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 3>that's why I'm kind of saying, you gotta take a

0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.120
<v Speaker 3>step back and just see where you're at and just

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 3>be thankful for everything that's to come to Fruith.

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Another player highlighted in the Pro Bowl selections was offensive

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>guard Daniel He was selected as a Pro Bowl Alternate,

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>which is a tremendous honor for a guy who's in

0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>his first year as a starter, came under fire earlier

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, and really has developed into a quality player

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.240
<v Speaker 1>for the Ravens. He talked about what it meant to

0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>be named as an alternate to the Pro Bowl.

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>What does it mean to you?

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.440
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you first year starting inside and certainly some

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 4>struggles early grew throughout now and to be named Pro

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:56.960
<v Speaker 4>Bowl alternate, what.

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Does that mean?

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 6>It means a lot of just gives me more fencing myself,

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:05.520
<v Speaker 6>and yeah, just knowing that I belong it's just uh yeah,

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 6>it's good achievement. Next year I want to be in

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 6>the Probo though, So.

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Going through that journey, do you feel like it's almost

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.960
<v Speaker 4>you had to like that forged you into becoming the

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 4>player you are.

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:17.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I feel like everything happens for a reason, and

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 6>I was able to just learn from my losses and

0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 6>just get better each week and just trust my closer.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 6>You can trust each other and that's supply it each week.

0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:27.640
<v Speaker 2>How'd you find out.

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 6>ADC told me yes two days ago or yesterday?

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.160
<v Speaker 1>And what was the reaction in telling you it is?

0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:36.360
<v Speaker 5>For me?

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:40.559
<v Speaker 6>I was like completely shocked. Yeah, I was just shocked.

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 6>I was not expecting that at all, but great news.

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>And then what was your what did you tell first?

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:46.400

<v Speaker 6>After that, I told my mom she was going crazy voting,

0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 6>so I had to tell her.

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>I appreciated that.

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 5>And so where do you feel like you've grown the

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 5>most over the course of the season.

0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel like just learning the position overall. Just I'm just.

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:05.240
<v Speaker 6>Anywhere I got to be a body position wise, and yeah,

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 6>just elevating my game each week a fix.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 3>And obviously there's a lot of outside noise, you know,

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:13.520
<v Speaker 3>and kind of tribulations there.

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 1>How did you handle all that?

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 5>For me?

0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.480

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 6>all like care about as my coaches and my teammates

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.160
