So I just want to welcome everybody here, 10 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: really appreciate everybody coming out. Eric and I are we're 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: looking forward to doing this and kind of start off 12 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season in terms of what our 13 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: hopes are, our vision, where we're planning on going. And 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: with that, I think every ending is a beginning, and 15 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: where we leave off from the twenty twenty two season 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: and where we begin in twenty twenty three season is 17 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: really right now, and we've had an opportunity to talk 18 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: a little bit, and there's a lot of things going 19 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: on where things are moving fast, as you all know. 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: But the thing that I feel, I know Eric feels 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: the same way. I feel great excitement and great hope 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: for what we're what we're heading into, for the challenges 23 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: in front of us and the opportunities in front of us, 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: because we have a really good football team and we're 25 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: a kind of on a curve of building this football 26 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: team right now. We have been on it for about 27 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: three years, i'd say, and putting this thing together, and 28 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: you can see the pieces coming together. You can see 29 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: it coming together on the field in terms of scheme 30 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: and process, personnel in coaching, and a lot of hard 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: work has gone into it, and I think it's starting 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 1: to become apparent where we're going. So I'm really excited 33 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: about it. Eric's excited about it, and we're excited for 34 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: whatever questions you might have. So with that, Eric, yeah, 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: I think it was a you know, certainly a disappointing 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: ending to a season, a long season with a lot 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: of different challenges, But we're also excited by I think 38 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the potential of the off season everything that goes along 39 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: with that, the draft, free agency, it's my favorite time 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: a year. We're excited to start up negotiations again with 41 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. We're excited to attack this roster to make 42 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: it the very best it can be in the hopes that, 43 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: you know, we'll be a championship team at some point. 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: And I want to thank John and the coaches and 45 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: the players for all the work they did this offseason. 46 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: We overcame a lot of different adversities along the way. 47 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 1: Very proud of the team. It wasn't the ending that 48 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: we wanted, but as John alluded to, I think we're 49 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: on the right path. You mention, what is your confidence 50 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: level one getting the chief, Well, it certainly takes two 51 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: to tango. But I think Lamar and I have a 52 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,079 Speaker 1: great relationship. I think we communicate quite often. We spent 53 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: some time together today. As a matter of fact, we've 54 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: spoken throughout the season multiple times. And you know, these negotiations, Jamison, 55 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: they all happened differently. You know, Ronnie Stanley's contract about 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: a year and a half. Mark Andrews contract took probably 57 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: three or four days. You know, we did Roquin's contract 58 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: over the span of six days, over the course of 59 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: one month, basically is what we did. So they happen 60 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: in different ways. UM, I wouldn't characterize the percentages of 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 1: getting any deal done or how long it's going to take, 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: except to say that we'll communicate effectively, we'll be as 63 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: fair as we can be, and we'll try to hammer 64 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: out a deal and hopefully we can get to that 65 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: point of this team for years to come. Is that 66 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: as much the case today as it was said? One 67 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent? You know, two hundred percent, There's no question 68 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: about it. Uh, Lamar Lamar Jackson is our quarterback. I 69 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: mean he's been our quarterback. Everything we've done in terms 70 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: of building our offense and building our team, how we 71 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: think in terms of people and put people around them, 72 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: is based on this incredible young man in his talent, 73 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: his ability, and his competitiveness. You know, he and I 74 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: were talking today too, and the things about Lamar that 75 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: to me stands out. He's an incredible competitor. I mean, 76 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, all he wants to do is win at 77 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: everything he does. You know. Yeah, he's got a lot 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: of talent, he's a very bright guy, he's got a 79 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: big heart. But he's just a massive competitor. And that's 80 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: the kind of guys we want to build this team around. 81 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: Guys that love football and guys that love to compete. So, uh, 82 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: that's not hasn't changed, it will never change. You know, 83 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: we I've loved Lamar, Eric loves Lamar, and it's not 84 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: going to change in the future. So you know, I 85 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: don't know anything about the details of the whole thing, 86 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: but I know one thing. I'm like all the fans 87 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: out there and everybody else. You know, I'll have my 88 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: fingers crossed and my toast cross and I'll be saying 89 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: prayers and I have every faith that's going to get done. 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: And uh, and we've got the best people in the 91 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: world doing it. I mean, Eric de Costa is nobody better. 92 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 1: And Eric wants him here, I want him here, Steve 93 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: wants him here, and Lamar wants to be here. So 94 00:04:54,040 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna work out it exactly. I just can't see 95 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: that forty five minute Peloton workout not to do an 96 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: advertisement for Peloton. But it's no joke. Yeah I did, 97 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: I did already. Yeah, thanks, uh, thanks for pointing that out. 98 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: You know who else who else but VITTI you know, um, 99 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: of course, I mean, you know, Greg and I spent hours, 100 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, talking about this. You know, in the last 101 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: couple of days, let alone. You know, every day when 102 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: you're together for four years. You know, the challenges that 103 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: Eric's talking about Uh, you become really close you know, 104 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: as coaches and scouts, and uh, this is something that 105 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: you know, is something I think is is good. You know, 106 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,239 Speaker 1: it's an opportunity for him, uh to move in some directions. 107 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: With the things he accomplished here, we're kind of we're 108 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: pretty historical. You know, they're they're a record set here 109 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: you know in the National Football League. They're gonna stand 110 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: for a long long time. So uh, you know, we're 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: all really proud of those things. And and Greg's a 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: great coach and he did the best he could every 113 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: single week, every single day. Great family, Uh, you know, 114 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: another great competitor. So you know, I I you know, 115 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: I leave, I leave. We leave that era kind of, 116 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: you know, we're move into the next era now in 117 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: terms of our offense. And uh and I did I 118 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: did ask Lamar about it, you know, and he will 119 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: be involved in it, you know. I'll keep him abreast 120 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: of what's going on, and I'm sure he'll have some 121 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: input along the way. But I know his focus, like 122 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: he told me, he's gonna be on getting himself ready 123 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: and getting his guys ready, you know, for next season. 124 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: Concerning the business side of Lamar and all the different 125 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: tag all those different things that you know, is there 126 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: some concern as far as attracting an outside person Robin's 127 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: coordinator knowing that there is uncertainty with his short term 128 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: at all in terms that you know, I think that's 129 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: a great question, Luke, and I would say I would 130 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: say my my answer would be, no way. This is 131 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: going to be a highly sought after job. This is 132 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: one of the top football coaching jobs in the world. 133 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: Everybody's gonna want this job. So I'm looking forward to 134 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: getting started, and we're gonna have won't just be me, 135 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, It'll be other coaches and scouts involved in it. 136 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: And we're gonna cast a wide net and we're gonna 137 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: look far and wide and close, you know, and and 138 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 1: we'll get the best fit for what we try to accomplish. 139 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: And it's going to be a highly qualified candidate turned 140 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position. The production wasn't I'm so 141 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: what you guys wanted to be in even a target 142 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: U see the last few all seasons. Do you plan 143 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: to change your approach in terms of how you go 144 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: out killing that position? Well, it's certainly something we're gonna 145 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: look at, you know, obviously, Uh, this season didn't end 146 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: up the way we wanted it too. We had some 147 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: injuries obviously with Bait and with Devin. Um. You know, Uh, 148 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: we traded Hollywood last year, so we definitely took on 149 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: some water this year at that position. We'll continue to 150 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: look at that, you know, via free agency in the draft, 151 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: and our role is really just to find the best 152 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: guys that fit our situation. And you know, we hear 153 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: the fans, We hear you guys with the questions. Um, certainly, 154 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: our goal is to build the very best team we 155 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: can build. And you know, last year one of our 156 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: key i think missions was to build the offensive lineback 157 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: and we feel excited about that and the way that 158 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: we're able to do that in different ways. We think 159 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: we're very very close to building a championship team and 160 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: everything that goes with that, and so we'll do that. 161 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: We'll do that this offseason, um, you know, and that'll 162 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: be through the draft, through free agency, potential trades and 163 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: things like that. But we will build the best team 164 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: we can to compete every single week. I'm talking about 165 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: talking about the extension. We're talking Mr Jacks on extension possibility. 166 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: If it doesn't happen to find the tag that on 167 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: end you tag them. Are you willing to entertain trade 168 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: offers about Lamar Jack? You know that's something that we're 169 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: not going to talk about it at this point. Um. 170 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: I talked to Lamar to day, as I said, and 171 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: our focus right now is really to get a long 172 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: term deal done. That's our singular focus at this point. 173 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna take some time, it's gonna take some effort, 174 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna take great communication, give and take. But I'm 175 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,719 Speaker 1: confident that we'll be on the right path to get 176 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:57,319 Speaker 1: that done. And five picks up, D is that challenge 177 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: for You're gonna try and helate more sort of we're 178 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,959 Speaker 1: going to you know, every draft is different. I mean, 179 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: ultimately we'd love to have more picks. I think most 180 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: years we do. UM. Sometimes what we find is if 181 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: you have too many picks over three or four years span, 182 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: it's hard for all those guys to make the team 183 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: and contribute. And I go back, you know, it was 184 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: a draft many years ago. I think Ozzie had four picks. 185 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: One of our best drafts, Um, I think we took uh. 186 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: It might have been a callister Brandon Stokely Van Mulitalo, 187 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: and it was one other guy, I think Jamison you 188 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: might know. It was a hell of a draft. It 189 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: was a hell of a draft. Every single guy contributed 190 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: right away. And so my goal, my mentalities, take every 191 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: one of those picks this year and nail every single 192 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: one of those picks a year. Getting hurts your conversation 193 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: the relationships players point, Yeah, yeah, I think it's It's interesting. 194 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Our relationship with Lamar, I think is fantastic. Every single day. 195 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: Now you can say, well, what's it like negotiating that's 196 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: a challenge, you know, because that's a business relationship and 197 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 1: there's you know, anytime you negotiate with anybody, it's not 198 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: always going to be an easy conversation to have. But 199 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: that doesn't affect our feelings for each other, or John's 200 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: feelings for Lamar, the organization's feelings for Lamar every single day, 201 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: how his teammates team We all understand it's a business transaction. 202 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: That's the challenge really for a player to represent himself, 203 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: I think, and we have to keep those two personalities separate. 204 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: The Lamar Jackson the agent versus Lamar Jackson the player. 205 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 1: The player is somebody who I hold in extremely high regard, 206 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: and you know, he's a fantastic competitor, one of the 207 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: most infectious personalities you'll ever see, one of the most 208 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: talented players in the league, a truly wonderful person in 209 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: the community and everything else that he does. So that 210 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: hasn't changed. That won't change. We'll get put our heads together, 211 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: we'll negotiate a contract. I told Lamar that, hey, this 212 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 1: thing has been a burden for both of us, and 213 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: I said, you know, but when this thing is over, 214 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: we are going to feel like a million bucks. And 215 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: that's truly how I feel. There. You go, how much 216 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: has the more expressed a desire for a fully year 217 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: indeed contract, and this is the organization willing to put 218 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: that on the table for it. So I told you 219 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: guys last year that, you know, I was willing to 220 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: talk about the negotiation, but I can't talk about the negotiation, 221 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: and so that type of question really is not something 222 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I would talk about. I'm actually really sort of proud 223 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: of the fact that for the last year, most details 224 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: regarding the negotiation have not come out. There's been little 225 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: pieces out there that the NFLPA has put out at 226 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: one point last year, but other than that, you know, 227 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: I think our conversations in our negotiations have been very 228 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: very private, and that's a very satisfying thing for Lamar 229 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: and me as well. And so I'm not going to 230 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: get into all the specifics of different things and you know, 231 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: what we're looking to do and what he's looking for 232 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: in all those types of that would be kind of 233 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: productive and that would hurt out a negotiation. It's time 234 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: for about sure, Pete. Yeah, I mean I can't. I'm 235 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to take you through every every 236 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: step of the way because it's this ongoing process. I mean, 237 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: we're talking every day throughout the season, you know, and 238 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: these conversations are going on consistently and constantly. So I 239 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: think just after the season Monday, we talked, Tuesday, we talk, Wednesday, 240 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: we talk, you know, and they're just hours of conversations 241 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: at Delvin, all kinds of different things, directions, and we're 242 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: talking families, we're talking our kids, you know, we're talking 243 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: the team, we're talking the plays in the game. You know, 244 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: we're talking about everything. And I think just through all that, 245 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: you know, really a couple of you know, we're partners, 246 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: but we're also friends, and um, it just worked its 247 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: way into that place where you know, I think he 248 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: felt like that was the best and we felt like 249 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: that was the best too, and we just understood where 250 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: we were at. John a two part question about one 251 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: we interview internal and external candidates, and the second part 252 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: is has the philosophy of the offense and in your 253 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: mind your vision for how do you want this to 254 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: offense to look? Given Lamar now has several years under 255 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: his belt, has that changed all that? Will that impact 256 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: the kind of offensive coordinatory you hire? Yeah, that's a 257 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: great question. The first part again was the interview, right, 258 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,079 Speaker 1: we will, Yes, we'll interview internally and externally in terms 259 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: of the vision for the offense. The identity of the 260 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: offense is what is important in that vision. And we've 261 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: established an identity for our offense. I think everybody knows 262 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: that it plays against us and watches us play. That's important. 263 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: That's a good identity. That's an identity that we're going 264 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: to carry forward. I think it speaks well the organization 265 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 1: in the city, kind of what we're all about within that, 266 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: the schemes that you run, the formations, the type of 267 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: players you put out there, that's all kind of methodology 268 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: and you kind of work through that as you go, 269 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 1: so I'll be looking to explore into that some more too. 270 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: You know, what kind of ideas come up in these interviews, 271 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 1: you know, what kind of ideas do guys have. How 272 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: can they merge you know, their thoughts and their vision 273 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: for for this offense with what's been done here in 274 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: the past too, and how does it all fit together 275 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: with the players? You know those all the questions you ask. 276 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: So I think nothing set in stone, nothing ever stays 277 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: the same, you know, everything changes, everything evolves. You got 278 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: to keep it moving, you know. So we'll definitely keep 279 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: it moving in ways that fit the players that we have. 280 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: And but it's definitely be within the identity you know 281 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: that we have for our offense brings anything you know, 282 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: for you and you know the office guys, it's not 283 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: there and when he shows up, you know right well, 284 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: I mean there's no guarantee all go that way, So 285 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: I think you cross those bridges when you get there, 286 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: for sure. It's a great question. It's definitely, it's definitely 287 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: there's a history of that with guys that are given 288 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: the tag. But Lamar is a unique guy too. You know, 289 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: Lamar doesn't always he's not. He's not beating to everybody's drum. 290 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: You know. He does he does his own thing the 291 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: way he wants to do it. So those things will 292 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: all come down the road as they common will. We'll 293 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: adjust and adapt as we as we face him. Eric, 294 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: if you do put the franchise tag on Lamar forty 295 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: five million dollars, how much would the impact with Drey 296 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: would do free agency wary Well. I mean, any any 297 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: deal with Lamar is going to affect the salary cap. 298 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: Whether we get along term deal done or we do 299 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: a exclusive franchise or the traditional franchise, it's going to 300 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: affect the cap. I mean, those are big, big numbers. 301 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: We're fortunate. I think that we have a better salary 302 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: cap than most um. You know, we have a lot 303 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: more room than most teams do, which was by design 304 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: three or four years ago. You know. I think one 305 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: of the things that we saw years ago with with Joe, 306 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: as when we had to do Joe's deal, we didn't 307 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: have enough for room to franchise Joe back then, so 308 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: we kind of planned accordingly. We have a lot of 309 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: salary cap room that we can use, so that creates 310 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: some aspect of flexibility with us contract wise and also 311 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,600 Speaker 1: franchise wise as well, gives us a different couple different 312 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: options regardless, it's it's not going to be a situation 313 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: where the you know, the market's open and we're just 314 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: going and signing guys left and right. That's not going 315 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: to happen in any way. There's really no scenario that's 316 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: probably going to be the case. We'll be selective, we'll 317 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: be targeted. We'll find guys like we always do that 318 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: we think can build this team and help us be 319 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: the best we can be. Eric Lamar and Roquan situations 320 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 1: of different but considerment, and neither of them necessarily have 321 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: an agent. Do you feel like getting a deal done 322 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: with Roquon will help you in terms of just your 323 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: own tactics and your own strategy in terms of getting 324 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: a deal done tomorrow. You know, everybody has their own 325 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: style and everybody has their own strategy that they're looking for. 326 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: So the only you know, potential advantage maybe that you 327 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: know we got from getting Roquon's deal, as you guys 328 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: have all written about, as we have a franchise tag 329 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: that we can use and we can keep both players 330 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: if we want to. I mean that's basically how it 331 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: factors in. But Lamar has his own style of negotiation 332 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: and what he's looking for in his own personality. Um 333 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: and Roquan had his own personality and style and what 334 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: he was looking for. Totally different animals. Um. I was 335 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: very happy to get Roquan done, and I'll be even 336 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: more happy when we get Lamar done. Yeah, John and JK. 337 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: Dobbins was pretty frustration following the last game. Uh do 338 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 1: you hear that? Do you have you spoken with him? 339 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 1: And what are your thoughts about him coming as he did? Right? Yeah? No, 340 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: I we talked Monday morning and uh, he happened to 341 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: be at breakfast. I happened to walk in and saw him. 342 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: So I sat down with him, you know, and we 343 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 1: had a good talk and uh, you know, he made 344 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: it very clear to me, you know, what he meant, 345 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of that versus kind of the 346 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: way it came out and where he's coming from in 347 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: the heat of battle and all that. So I was 348 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: real good with that conversation and what he told me. 349 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: There's another guys usually that potentially are retiring, like a 350 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: Kalis Campbell, just you have you haven't talked to you 351 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: about what shortly wanting to come back? Would you welcome 352 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: to the Magic So well, I did meet with both guys. 353 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,640 Speaker 1: I would probably keep those conversations private, you know, out 354 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: of respect for those guys, um. But you know, actually, 355 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,239 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, I met with over twenty players this year, 356 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: so I had a long day. Normally it's usually like 357 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: five or six m I think John was trying to 358 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: create some time for himself and he would send some 359 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: guys over to me. But uh, you know, they were 360 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: really really good conversations. I enjoyed my time with the 361 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: team this week. Um. I did speak with Klis and 362 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: just in a lot of respect for both those guys 363 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: the way they played this year and just their whole career, 364 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: really in the respect that they command in the locker 365 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: room and on the field. So you know, those are 366 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 1: the kind of guys you want to have on your team, 367 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: those veteran presences who play well and really back it 368 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: up by how they play, and uh, you know, those 369 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: are the kind of guys you want to add. Are 370 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: you sure what you are with? Marcus Peters is come 371 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: a previous cornerback. In general, we clearly would feel pretty 372 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: good about Marland, but after that seems like there's a question. Yeah, 373 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: well crazy respect from Marcus, one of my favorite guys 374 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: on the team, you know, tremendous competitor, and at some 375 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: point Marcus and I'll probably speak, and his agent, Doug 376 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: Hendrickson's one of the best in the business as well. 377 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: Regarding the corner position, you know, we're a team that 378 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: always feels like you can never have enough good corners, 379 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: so I would expect that at some point in free 380 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: agency and or the draft, we'll try to augment that position. 381 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: I think we've got some good, young, promising players for sure, 382 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Arma Davis. We drafted Pepe this year as well. 383 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: Both of those guys we think hep bright futures. Brandon 384 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Stevens was playing his best football I think late in 385 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: the year, and we're excited about his progression and growth 386 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: as well. And you know, we had some other guys 387 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: this year that stepped up too as well. Daryl Worley 388 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: is a guy that played well. He's a free agent. 389 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: Keevan Seymour, Um, you know, Kyle Fuller, a free agent. 390 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 1: Um played really well Week one before his knee injury. Unfortunately, Um, 391 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: there's always the potential that some of those guys could 392 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: return as well. Anticipated Patrick, we'll keeping him the club. Yeah, 393 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: we were really excited by the way Patrick played this year. Um, 394 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: we think he made a jump. He showed uh, playmaking ability, leadership, 395 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: He just really really, over the course of the season, 396 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: became the player that we kind of envisioned him being. UM. 397 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: Specifically speaking to the fifth year option, UM, you know, 398 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: I'm probably not prepared to make that announcement at this point. Um, 399 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: does it make it difficult to sign him long term? 400 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 1: If he's a great player, We'll find a way to 401 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: make it work. If he's playing at a high level. 402 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 1: We want to keep as many good players as we can, 403 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: so I would never rule out right now, Uh signing 404 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: a player two years from now potentially, Um, he's a 405 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: good player. I think we've got the best two young 406 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: inside linebackers, the combo, the tandem. It's exciting in football, 407 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: and they make our defense a problem for other teams 408 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: and something that is going to cause a lot of 409 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: teams problems, you know, moving forward. So you know, I 410 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: think we're in a great position there. I think our 411 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 1: defense is exciting and uh, we can't wait to see 412 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: him next year. Exclusive, non exclusive. I think it comes 413 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: to that having been a decision whether you would put 414 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: the noon. Have we made a decision? Have I made 415 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: a decision? I've thought about it every day. Um, but 416 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,000 Speaker 1: I'll be honest Jamison, you know we don't have to 417 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,880 Speaker 1: make that decision for whatever it is. Six weeks maybe 418 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: I don't even maybe two months, six weeks, I guess. 419 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: And um, you know we're going to be going down 420 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: to Florida at some point with Steve. Have our conversations 421 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: like we always do. We talk about a lot of 422 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 1: different things that will probably be something. We talk about 423 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 1: the risk reward, the strategies and all that. I'm whole full, 424 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: you know. I would love to be able to go 425 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: down and not have to talk about Lamar Jackson because 426 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: we got a deal done. But no matter what, we 427 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: will have a planet players like we always do. We've 428 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: been down this road before in different ways but different players. Hey, 429 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: we'll do what we think is best for the club. Yeah. Obviously, 430 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: when you get a new or from quarter, sometimes bring 431 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: some long guys or yeah, set up. Has there been 432 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: any and there don't spend any changes right now that 433 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: you know on your offensive defensive coaching staff? Yeah, No, 434 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: this just happened with Greg in the last day. So no, 435 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: we haven't thought about that too much. But off the 436 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: top of my head, no, it's not something that we're 437 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: planning on doing, but guys get opportunities. Things happen. That's 438 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: never predictable. We'll see where it goes. It was a 439 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: little challenge at the beginning of the season, but the 440 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: way he ends up, he's saying, oh, how confident. Maybe, Well, 441 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: you know, I Mike McDonald. I've known Mike a long 442 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: time because he was here for seven years, you know, 443 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: so pretty much we all had a really good, uh 444 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: feel for what what Mike was going to do and 445 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: how he's going to go buy his business. So I 446 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: thought he's been great since the first day he got here. 447 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: And uh, it was very clear in terms of what 448 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: we were trying to accomplish with our defense, in terms 449 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: of building a certain visions and a certain scheme set 450 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: into into our structure and teaching the guys and training 451 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: the guys how to do it. And you saw it 452 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 1: evolved throughout the course of the season, you know, as 453 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: we were growing as a defense and guys were beginning 454 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: to understand better and better what we're trying to do 455 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: and and we're just beginning with that. I mean, there's 456 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: a lot of things we can we can still build 457 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 1: into the defense that we'll be able to do now 458 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: we're going into our second year. So uh, Mike did 459 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,200 Speaker 1: a great job. All the coaches on defense did a 460 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: great job of growing the defense. And I'm looking forward 461 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: to what we're going to build into going forward. This 462 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: is the thing year growing out time for the year 463 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: that could becoming trading And I guess, how do you 464 00:23:53,720 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: guys go out insulting intuition that? Yeah, I mean that's 465 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: kind of your your last probably sentences is the point 466 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,959 Speaker 1: of the whole thing. You do the best you can. 467 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 1: But not I'll anticipate just being any kind of a trend. 468 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Lamar, I don't believe as a guy that 469 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: you know, is going to have those issues going forward. 470 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: You can't think that. And really it's just football, you know, 471 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,679 Speaker 1: those are both those plays the last two years are 472 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: kind of freaky plays that happen. They can happen. So 473 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: Lamar is a very he's a very durable player. I 474 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: know that people might take issue with that, you know, 475 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: I get it, but I don't believe that there's gonna 476 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: be a problem going for because I know how hard 477 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna work. You know, Lamar Jackson works hard. I 478 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: mean he's whether it's in the weight room, on the field, 479 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: running in the classroom. Lamar is all football. You know, 480 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: he works really hard at it. And that's really what 481 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: you do. You work hard, you get yourself in great shape, 482 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: you go play the game the way you play it. 483 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: And that's what he'll do next year. Players can position 484 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 1: in the last two or three years. It's Lamar Andrews, 485 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,920 Speaker 1: how difficult has been to integrate any new players a 486 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 1: complex offense and you planned to pass and continutely future, 487 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: especially when you're looking for the court. Right. That's a 488 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: good question. I mean, you're right about that, and that's 489 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: a challenge and I think I think those challenges came up, 490 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, during the course of this season. And if 491 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: you if you look at the tape or you look 492 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: at the plays themselves, and some of the things that 493 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: we had a lot of great plays, but we also 494 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: had some we had mistakes. You know, we had things 495 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: that weren't executed the way they were drawn up in practice, 496 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 1: and that has to do with just what you're talking 497 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: about there. So that's real continuity does matter. You know, 498 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: you're able to work together on things. So the offensive line, 499 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: as Eric mentioned, is together. That offensive line is going 500 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: to be wholly intact or almost wholly intact next year 501 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: coming back. That's big. The tight end room is together. 502 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,360 Speaker 1: That that tight end room should be wholly intact, completely intact. 503 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: Back again, the running back room intact. You know, we 504 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: now we can add a player to any of those spots. 505 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Of course, the one area that needs to be you know, 506 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: built is is a wide receiver room. So that'll be 507 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: a new room. Basically, there'll be pieces of but still 508 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: there you know, you know, the guys, and then we'll 509 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: be adding a lot of pieces to that room. And 510 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: it'll be competition too, So that'll be the room that'll 511 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: start together in this new offense and we'll build with 512 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: those guys. So I think, you know, you're talking about 513 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: seventy five of the offense is intact and twenty five 514 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: percent and it's all in the same room. We'll be 515 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: new and that's probably pretty normal. But that's uh, that 516 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: makes me happy because I feel like we got a 517 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: lot of guys at No Ball and I've had a 518 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: lot of experience here and the and that room that 519 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about, the wide receiver croom room can't be 520 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: built up. And you know that's those are pieces we 521 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,120 Speaker 1: can give Lamar and give him a chance to really, 522 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:40,880 Speaker 1: you know, thrive these conversations. Where does the confidence from 523 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: the potentially happen? Just I think you know respect um, 524 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: you know our feelings about him, that we know him, 525 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,360 Speaker 1: we know the person, um, a confidence level that he's 526 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: the right type of guy to'll lead the team. UM. 527 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: And just optimism. You know, I think that I try 528 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: to be positive. I mean most if you go into 529 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: a negotiation with a negative feeling, then your chances of 530 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: getting that done probably aren't going to happen. So you know, 531 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: we've done a lot of a lot of contracts. I 532 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 1: think in the league we've second most extensions in the 533 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: league over the last four years. So we know what 534 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: can happen. I think we we we we try to 535 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: be creative and strategic, and I truly believe Lamar wants 536 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: to finish his career in Baltimore. I just believe that 537 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: in my conversations with him and just watching him and 538 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: talking with him and communicating. I think John feels that 539 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: way too. So all of those things kind of work 540 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 1: together for me. That tell me that we still have 541 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: a chance, and you know that I should be as 542 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: optimistic as possible. We know that great Roman is one 543 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: of the most respective designers run gaming in the world. 544 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: Do you feel like you'll be able to hold on 545 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: to some of those concepts that have worked so well 546 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: even even with a new boarding place? Really really great, 547 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, perceptive point to make, because yeah, you want 548 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: to do that. You know, you want to be able 549 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: to hold onto those things. And you know, we've got 550 00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: coaches here, players here that have run those schemes, that 551 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: have a field for those schemes. So yeah, that'll be 552 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: part of the new process. I mean, I'd like to 553 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: keep a lot of those schemes around, you know. And 554 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: and that's passing the schemes too. I mean, Greg's a 555 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: great you know, the passing game that we put together, 556 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,239 Speaker 1: the schemes we have are excellent. So you know that's uh, 557 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: whatever parts of the offense are able to kind of 558 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: go forward and we'll see, we'll see how that goes. 559 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,280 Speaker 1: But I think the answer your questions, yes, I'm sorry, Eric, 560 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: you mentioned you're disappointed that of the season ended when 561 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: you're building a football team. Do you think about building 562 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: for playoffs success and the difference in what playoff playoff 563 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: team is versus a regular season successful team. Is that 564 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: part of your equation moving forward? I think Mark, we 565 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 1: try to build a team that you know, first of all, 566 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: can win the division, that can plays as long as possible, 567 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: whatever that means, you know. I mean, we look at 568 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,400 Speaker 1: the talent on the team. We're trying to build strategically, 569 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: positions that we feel like we have to address. But 570 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: our goal is always first to play and to win 571 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 1: as many games as we can, to win our division, 572 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: to hopefully get a buy and just play as long 573 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 1: as we can, and to get as far as we can. 574 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: A lot goes into that, and so you know, some 575 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: of our some of my disappointment is, you know, things 576 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: outside our control, injuries and things like that, a play 577 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: that we almost make that we don't make, things like that. 578 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: You know, this team was really close in a lot 579 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: of ways. We could have won a lot more games 580 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: and probably could have lost some games too, no doubt 581 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: about that. But when we look at the team, when 582 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: we look at the roster, we see the talent that 583 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: we have. I think John and I are both encouraged 584 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: that we have the potential to build something that's sustainable 585 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 1: over a long period of time. We can win a 586 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,960 Speaker 1: lot of football games and we've seen it, and we 587 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: can go very far into playoffs as John as a 588 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: head coach and with the right players on the field. 589 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: So Clark to the last year to anticipate we don't 590 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: have the team. That's dude. You know what, Chuck had 591 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: a phenomenal season and um, we have many decisions about 592 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 1: any players right now. The season just ended. Again, we'll 593 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: make those decisions later on. Chuck has proven to be 594 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: an outstanding safety in this league. He has been probably 595 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 1: one of the most consistent guys we've had. He's probably 596 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: started as many games as anybody over the last what 597 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: three four years. John, He's been a great teams player 598 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: in the past. He's an excellent safety, He's tough, he's 599 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: a competitor, he's a leader, and he's a player that 600 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: we're very proud of about. Lamar and you were still 601 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,440 Speaker 1: playing with give it a possibility to come back? Yeah, 602 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: he would have. He would have you know the details 603 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: of all that. It's kind of hard to say, and 604 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, I have I have some thoughts in that 605 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: probably that I'm allowed to say, but I can tell 606 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: you Lamar wanted to be back. Lamar planned on being back. 607 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: He was close, you know, you can you'd ask him that, 608 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: but he can speak for himself on that. But he 609 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: was working so hard to get back and very determined 610 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: to get back. And and uh, you know, kind of 611 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 1: go back to Mark's point if if I can't, because 612 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: it kind of goes with your question as well. Eric said, 613 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: whin the division, win the playoffs. You know that that 614 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: is exactly what we try to do. You know, goes 615 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: deep as we can in the playoffs, try to win 616 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. We want to be at our best, 617 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 1: you know, to win the division. And you gotta put 618 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: yourself in position to win the division, right That's why 619 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: you have to win games early. But our be our 620 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: best at the end. Uh. In December and January, we 621 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: talked about that a lot, and I really believe that 622 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: we were. You know, we had the injury to Lamar. 623 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 1: That was the biggest challenge that we had faced and 624 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 1: getting Lamar back was the biggest uh not you know, 625 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,480 Speaker 1: it was a it was a priority, but it's the 626 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 1: biggest thing we had to overcome, you know, Lamar comes back, 627 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 1: which I believe he would if you know, because he's 628 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: working so hard. And we had rolled and we played 629 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: well in that game, and we played a really good game. 630 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: The game plan was working exceptionally well, and we were 631 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: in position to win the game and a play went 632 00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: the other way. So that's what happened. You know, if 633 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: if they're butts, but if we were playing this week, 634 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 1: you know, I'd feel real good about our chances to 635 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: win this week too. So I feel like we're playing 636 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: our best football down the stretch, and especially we would 637 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: have right there and we were in that game. We 638 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: want to said, having a hired player coaches in your career, 639 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: is there a key in the energy process that gives 640 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: you an insight to whether that coach will fix it 641 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: in this organization? Since was a little late dating, everybody's 642 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: going to show you the best. You probably did a 643 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: lot more dating than I did, Jerry, You know, I 644 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: don't know that's really important. I mean the type of 645 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: person you know that that Steve Bischotti would be looking for. 646 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: I think that's what Eric and I try to look for. 647 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean, Steve's got an incredible understanding of you know, 648 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: people and that's that's his business. That's what he did 649 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: so well with. So he's taught us a lot along 650 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: those lines. And we're gonna want to want somebody that 651 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: fits in well, he belongs, and then you know, with 652 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: that can stand out, and then after that can go far. 653 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: And that's what we'll be looking for. Eric. You hear 654 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people outside the organizations they said because 655 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: mor Taxans didn't have a guarantee long term deal, that 656 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: played more early not playing. Do you feel wrest absence 657 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 1: throughout the six games where what was that contract relays? 658 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: I mean Lamar could speak to that, but my feeling 659 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: is no. I think Lamar was hurt. We we seem 660 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: every single day Jamison Um he's hurt. And his unique 661 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: style as a player, Um as a quarterback, but as 662 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback, as really a freaky type of athlete 663 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 1: out there on the field. Having a knee injury, a 664 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: serious knee injury, UM, you know makes it difficult. And 665 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 1: so UM's just unfortunate. You know that he got hurt. 666 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: The timing of it, I know he was trying to 667 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,920 Speaker 1: come back. We'd see him daily. I spent a lot 668 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: of time, well I've spent a lot of time over 669 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:01,000 Speaker 1: the last two years down the training room, and you know, 670 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 1: Lamar along with a lot of other guys, we're trying 671 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: to get back and play, and it's just bad timing 672 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: and I think bad luck for us and bad luck 673 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 1: for Lamar. The injuries a year ago, you guys made 674 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: some significant changes to your training programs and staff. A 675 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 1: year later, again, injuries, some of whom free you can 676 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: just football by nature. Are you satisfied with where you 677 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: stand in terms of preventing those? Yeah, I'll take that mark. 678 00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's really we did really well this year 679 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: with injuries. I mean, Lamar had his injury, but if 680 00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers soft tissue injuries and other injuries, 681 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: this has been our best year in quite a long time. 682 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: So you know, the changes that Eric made, the changes 683 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,920 Speaker 1: that we made, the protocols we put in were incredibly successful. 684 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: A lot of the early season injuries that we had 685 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 1: were guys coming off the injuries from the previous year. 686 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: Right had Ronnie coming off the previous year, Tis coming 687 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,319 Speaker 1: off the previous year, Marcus coming off the ACL, both 688 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 1: running backs coming off the injuries from the previous year. 689 00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: Those were the early season issues that we had as 690 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,840 Speaker 1: those guys got back out there, we didn't add a 691 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: lot of injuries towards the end of the year. As 692 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, we were the healthiest we were 693 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 1: all year at the end of the season. So I 694 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 1: thought we did a great job through training camp, did 695 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,240 Speaker 1: a great job through the season with injury prevention, maintenance. 696 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: We did some things that we're even a little uh, 697 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: a little different than some of the normal protocols that 698 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 1: were testing tried and true that our people Sam rosen 699 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: Garden and and our trainer Adrian Dixon and Steve Saunders 700 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: and Sarah Snyder all put in place that we're just 701 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: concredibly effective. So we're definitely on the right track with that, 702 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: and we had a good year in that sense in 703 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 1: terms of improving from the previous two years. Oh kind 704 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: of just kind of things in the level. What do 705 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: we have to have anything art I actually think there's 706 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,400 Speaker 1: only this is crazy, but we only have one player 707 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: right now that's going to have an offseason surgery, which 708 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: is a record for us. I can't talk who the 709 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: player is, but that's unusual to say the least. I mean, 710 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: if Annie knows, like you know, with his experiences at 711 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: the end of the year, you always have a bunch 712 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 1: of guys that are having surgeries and clean ups and 713 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,480 Speaker 1: various things. We only have one guy, so that's you know, 714 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 1: if you're going to look for a real positive this 715 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 1: year moving forward to the offseason program, that's a huge positive. Yeah, 716 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean, we are extremely excited about Dave came off 717 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,479 Speaker 1: the Achilles. Obviously, he worked very very hard to come back. 718 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, probably could have played a little bit earlier, 719 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: but quite honestly, we stayed very healthy at that position. 720 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: We loved our depth at the outside linebacker position. We 721 00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: didn't want to rush him in there. And uh but 722 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: he's a long, tall guy, explosive, great attitude, tremendous, tremendous potential, 723 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 1: and we just can't wait to see what he's gonna 724 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: do this year. I mean, I think having a great 725 00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: offseason for him, you know, considering what he went through 726 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: last year, is really critical. His attitude is awesome, He's 727 00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: got an infectious personality and a lot of ability to play. 728 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: Was that kind of a myerstanding and Eric had probably 729 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,560 Speaker 1: winning this too, that the screws can come out if 730 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: it's the best thing for me to come out, and 731 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,400 Speaker 1: I think they will come out, but they don't have 732 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,959 Speaker 1: to come out right. I'm not exactly sure how that works. 733 00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,319 Speaker 1: But the point about Batman is is he's almost He's 734 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: gonna be ready real soon to run full speed. So 735 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,360 Speaker 1: to Eric's point, he's gonna have a great offseason. You know, 736 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: he's gonna be up and running, just like Marlon was 737 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: in the office today talking about his offseason plans. All 738 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: these guys are healthy going into the offseason, which gives 739 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: him a chance to train, you know, from now until 740 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: then to get ready to go. And that helps your 741 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:39,320 Speaker 1: injury outlook going forward to because it's gonna do with 742 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: some of your injuries on the offense. Obviously, we just 743 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: talked to the offense and wanting to building this year 744 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,800 Speaker 1: and Bateman, as you mentioned earlier, identity Other's offense. With 745 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: all those guys healthy and staying healthy, what do you 746 00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:52,960 Speaker 1: hope at the offens full play? Well, I mean, first 747 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: of all, you want to be a winning offense, Okay, 748 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's where it starts, and what entails are 749 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,360 Speaker 1: winning offense. You've got to be able to do everything 750 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: well and so situational football, you've got to be balanced, 751 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 1: you've got to be you gotta be able to run 752 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: the ball. We're gonna always believe in running the ball, 753 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,520 Speaker 1: and you know we've done that really well over the 754 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: last number of years. With that, you've got to have 755 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: a complimentary passing game. You've got to have a standalone 756 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,399 Speaker 1: passing game with a drop back passing, situational passing game 757 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: third down, especially long and in the red zone. And 758 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: then you've got to have a play action passing game 759 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,440 Speaker 1: that goes with whatever runs you run, whether it's quarterback 760 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 1: driven runs or power runs or whatever. And they've got 761 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 1: to fit your run game. So those are the things 762 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 1: that kind of play off of each other. It's just 763 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 1: a well rounded, balanced offense. And to do that, you 764 00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: need you need a strong offensive line. Eric did an 765 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 1: amazing job of building this offensive lineup last year. You 766 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:37,919 Speaker 1: need tight ends that can block the edge. You also 767 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: need tight ends that can block the edgen can be 768 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: factor in the passing game. Running backs that can run, 769 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: pass protect and catch passes. You know, we were unique. 770 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: We have a quarterback that can do everything that's that's 771 00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 1: pretty unusual. And we have to get that wide receiver room, 772 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 1: that room where we want it. You know, that'll be 773 00:38:52,960 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: the last part of the personnel party, we be able 774 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: to gey, we be able to afford, receive you know, rookie, 775 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: you know, just normal Yeah, yeah, I mean I think 776 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,879 Speaker 1: you know, I know what the fans would like, Um, 777 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 1: manybody as we look at it. Honestly, you know, when 778 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: you have a big ticket item at quarterback, UM, it 779 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: makes it more challenging and not impossible. We'll have to 780 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: get creative and there's things we can do. There's a 781 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: lot of different ways to go about constructing the team 782 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: and finding players and affording players and various things like that. 783 00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 1: But we've got to be really creative. We'll have to 784 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: make some tough calls on players, um that we have 785 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,680 Speaker 1: on the team, of course. Uh, and we'll consider everything. 786 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,840 Speaker 1: There's different ways to do it. But um, you know, 787 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: what we don't want, I think, is to mortgage two 788 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: years from now, three years from now by paying a 789 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys this year. Our goal, I think 790 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,080 Speaker 1: is to be a really competitive, strong team every single year. 791 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,239 Speaker 1: You know. And John's jokes with me all the time 792 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,400 Speaker 1: he didn't really have any interest at this stage of 793 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 1: his coaching career being in a total rebuild, you know, 794 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: and what that entails. And I really don't either. Our 795 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: goal is to always have that window open when we 796 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:24,200 Speaker 1: can compete to win the whole thing. So, you know, 797 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: I think we've made a lot of good decisions with 798 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,759 Speaker 1: the cap over the last four years. I'm excited to 799 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: see where we are this year. But it goes without 800 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,080 Speaker 1: saying you can't pay everyone. You can't have you know, 801 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: eight or nine players at the top all make an 802 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:44,840 Speaker 1: X amount, because what happens is you have nothing below, 803 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 1: and we've seen teams like that this year. We've seen 804 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,800 Speaker 1: teams like that. Depth is a critical thing in this 805 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:56,480 Speaker 1: sport because players get hurt, and I believe personally that 806 00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: depth is probably one of the most important things we're 807 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: building a roster across the board, because guys do every 808 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:04,840 Speaker 1: single week. You know, whether it's a Friday and a 809 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,480 Speaker 1: guy gets hurt, Okay, this guy's gonna play. Guys out 810 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 1: for eight weeks. This guy's gonna play and that's you know, 811 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,560 Speaker 1: we saw it during COVID. Depth really does matter. It's 812 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 1: great to have all those star players, but you got 813 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,480 Speaker 1: to have some young, ascending players beneath them who can 814 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: pick up when those guys you know aren't aren't there. 815 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 1: And it's hard when you just you have all these 816 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 1: enormous salaries at the top of your ledger. What were 817 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 1: your impressions of this year's rookie class Hunton til about 818 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,759 Speaker 1: in the class. Yeah, I think they did well, Ryan, 819 00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: I mean, we're excited about you know, what these guys 820 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 1: are gonna do. It was a huge draft for us 821 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,439 Speaker 1: last year. We had a lot of picks. We spent 822 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,880 Speaker 1: a lot of energy on that draft. You know, there 823 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: was a lot of anxiety, I know for me, you know, 824 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,640 Speaker 1: just looking at players. There were so many players last year. 825 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: I think those guys did well across the board, but 826 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,800 Speaker 1: we think they have a lot more to give to 827 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are young players, and so what 828 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,239 Speaker 1: we see oftentimes is guys get a lot better. They 829 00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 1: come in here their second year. There in the offseason program, 830 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,680 Speaker 1: they learn, they understand what it means to be a pro, 831 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,680 Speaker 1: and they play a lot better. And that's what we 832 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 1: expect and that's what we demanded. So the fact that 833 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 1: some of these guys played as well as they did 834 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: this year, that that is a good indication that their 835 00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: futures are very bright. And I think a lot of 836 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 1: these guys have a chance to be good players. When 837 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 1: we look at the eighteen draft, I think eight or 838 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,520 Speaker 1: nine of those guys that starters now in the league 839 00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,560 Speaker 1: and looking at this draft, I'm not going to say that, 840 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 1: but when we look at it, we think a lot 841 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: of these guys have a lot of potential to play 842 00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: and be significant players for us at some point. Talking 843 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: about the offensive line keeping out of strength and powers 844 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: is also said to be a free stars disdeal at 845 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, Ben's a player that as we look 846 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: at it, I would say this and Coach would probably 847 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: say it too. And Ben is probably improved and as 848 00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: much as anybody on our team. He had a phenomenal 849 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: season this year. Started every game. I don't even know 850 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 1: if he missed a snap, and UM, you know, Ben's 851 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,880 Speaker 1: a guy that we'd love to keep. UM My feeling 852 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 1: is Ben's probably going to be sought after in free 853 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: agency based on the way he played this year. UM, 854 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 1: we would never close the door and a player like Ben, Um, 855 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: we would always want to keep as many good players 856 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 1: as we can. We'll have discussions at some point with Ben. Um. 857 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,920 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just really happy and proud of Ben 858 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,320 Speaker 1: for the way that he played and the way that 859 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 1: he's really come on. I'm matured over his time with us, 860 00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,959 Speaker 1: and uh, I'm very happy for he and his family. 861 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,800 Speaker 1: They put themselves in great position, and uh he's a 862 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,960 Speaker 1: player that I think is is going to do really well. 863 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:42,040 Speaker 1: Eric And in eight months when you start the season 864 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,880 Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty three season, uh, it was more Jackson. 865 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: You're starting quarterback. I don't see any reason why I 866 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:57,200 Speaker 1: won't be Jamison. Yeah, I know he's outside and we 867 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: know Marside. Well. Fortunately I'm not on social media, so uh, 868 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: well I shouldn't say that. I do have an Instagram 869 00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 1: so I can track my my daughters and my daughter 870 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,479 Speaker 1: and my son's really but I'm not on social media, 871 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 1: so I kind of hear about things or Chad might 872 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,360 Speaker 1: share something with me. But quite honestly, you know, we're 873 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: in this It's almost a cocoon in this building. You know, 874 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: we are the team. That's what it is. It's a team, 875 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 1: and we try to drown all that stuff out. We 876 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,239 Speaker 1: focus on the day to day, coming in, getting our 877 00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,360 Speaker 1: worke done, competing as a team. I'm out at practice 878 00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,279 Speaker 1: every day. I love being out of practice with John. 879 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,320 Speaker 1: I love the energy and the enthusiasm and all that 880 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: I love this building. When I'm in this building, I'm 881 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:50,240 Speaker 1: at peace, and so I don't pay too much attention 882 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 1: to all that stuff. Um, is it a distraction? Not 883 00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 1: for me. It might be for my kids, might be 884 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,080 Speaker 1: for my family and for all of you, but it's 885 00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,279 Speaker 1: really not a distraction for me. I can't speak to John, 886 00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 1: but I know I come in here and just try 887 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,160 Speaker 1: to build the best team and we can build and 888 00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,399 Speaker 1: win as many games as we can win. Hang out. 889 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,799 Speaker 1: John and I hang out together every day. We laugh 890 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: and talk about stuff when neighbors. To me, that's what 891 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 1: this thing's all about. So good to hear from head 892 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 1: coach John Harball and Eric Tacassa and the season review 893 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: press conference. Obviously, Lamar Jackson a huge talking point in 894 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: this one. What's his contract going to be? The Ravens 895 00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 1: made it very clear that their intention is still to 896 00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: sign Lamar to a long term contract extension. Whether that 897 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: happens or what happens from there, we don't know the 898 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 1: franchise tag. Eric Tacassa said he's thought about that every 899 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: single day of what the tag would be, but he 900 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,279 Speaker 1: hopes that he's not even having that conversation because he's 901 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: locked Lamar Jackson up to a long term deal to 902 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: stay in Baltimore for many years to come. Obviously, the 903 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,760 Speaker 1: Ravens made a big change and offensive coordinator Greg Ruman 904 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 1: left to pursue other opportunities and the search begins for 905 00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens new offensive coordinator. John harb All made it 906 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,959 Speaker 1: clear that the passing game needs improvement and the wide 907 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: receiver room is also going to get to upgrade this offseason. 908 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 1: That will be a major area of focus. So those 909 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: are the things from the season review press conference. I 910 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,160 Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for our next press 911 00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,360 Speaker 1: conference in Ravens Press Pass, which will likely be the 912 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: introduction of the Ravens next offensive coordinator. Thanks so much,
