Tell tell us about 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: your diving skills and your backflop skills. 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: I suppose, you know, I don't know if there's any 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 2: skill involved. Original plan was, let's just try to do 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 2: like a simple dive, but you know, the boards are 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: a little more bendy than what I'm used to and 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: a dive turned into a little momentum going a little 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: too far forward and. 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: Ended on my back. It was the last time I 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 3: went off the dive. But it was fun. It was 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 3: it was awesome experience. 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: I get all the guys there and obviously made a 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: legend and Michael Phelipsy. 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: It was one of those moments. 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: The whole the whole pool, the quadic center was what 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: is good. The guys had to give you a hard 22 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,119 Speaker 1: time about that one. 23 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was funny. 24 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: I mean there's like a replay like every twenty seconds 25 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 2: behind the diving board, and guys were giving. 26 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: Me a crap about it. It's funny. 27 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 2: I didn't realize, you know, Kyle van Noy had was 28 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: like videotaping from Afar. Yeah, and he got it on camera, 29 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: so it was cool. 30 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 3: It'll live on forever. Yeah, live on forever. I guess awesome. 31 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 4: Before the pool escapades, you know, Michael Phelps was out 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 4: there practice and afterwards spoke to you guys. What was 33 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 4: that like and what did you get out of that? 34 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 4: His message and of course raised messages well to you guys. 35 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously two legends.

You know, I think both 38 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: of them kind of different stories but kind of hit 39 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: on the same thing. It's just the little details that 40 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: go into what made them so great their preparation. 41 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: You know. 42 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: Obviously Phelips having twenty I think three gold medals is unbelievable, 43 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 2: you know, and he talked about the differences in his races. 44 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: You know, zero point five seconds is what kind of 45 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: separated him. That was stuff that happened way before. You know, 46 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: he stepped on the diving board or whatever he stepped. 47 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 2: H No, it's a preparation that went into that. The 48 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 2: mentality that he had is up to that moment right 49 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: before the race, no one had outworked him. So just 50 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: hearing guys like that talk is pretty awesome. And then 51 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: you know, obviously Ray uh, you know, just every time 52 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: he speaks, you know, he makes you like want to 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: run through a brick wall.

And it's pretty special 66 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: to have that ability. 67 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 4: Yeah. 68 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: One thing I notice about this team, and both those 69 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: guys talked about the preparation, like doing everything you can 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: every day and honestly just being around this team in 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: training camp, like I feel that happening. I see it 72 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: from from leaders like yourself and Roquan and Marlin and 73 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 1: Lamar and you know, so many guys go down the 74 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: line of like there's an intentionality and just like this 75 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: I locked in is kind of the word that gets 76 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: the phrase that gets thrown around, but it does feel 77 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: like it, especially this training camp. Do you get a 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: sense of that that, like, as part of the leadership group, 79 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: that you all have taken upon yourselves to really kind 80 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: of set the tone that way. 81 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, you know, that's what the successful teams 82 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: it has to be like that. You know, the leaders 83 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: have to lead and they have to be at their best, 84 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: you know, when the time's called upon. They got a 85 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 2: lead by example, you know, I think it's one way 86 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: leading by example just going out there and showing them 87 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: younger guys how to do things, but also you know, 88 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 2: pushing them and encourage them along the way. You know, 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: the more people we can have to get up to 90 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 2: our standard and our level, the better the team's going 91 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: to be. 92 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: Yeah. 93 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Is there any kind of difference that you sense this summer? 94 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 1: You know, after coming up short again. You know, we've 95 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 1: had like the best team in the league or close 96 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: to it multiple years here now and obviously haven't gotten to, 97 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 1: you know, where we want to be, right, Like, do 98 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: you sense any kind of difference in the team's hunger 99 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: or whatever it is like this summer? 100 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously you're not reaching your goals, especially 101 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: in the past two years. So I don't know if 102 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 2: our approach has changed, but there's definitely a sense, you know, 103 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: like all right, it's about it's time. Yeah, you know, 104 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: just the players that we have, the positions that you know, 105 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: the skill positions, the lineman. You know, we we got 106 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: all the tools. It's just about putting it together when 107 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 2: the when the time comes. 108 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember when you were drafted, there was a 109 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 4: lot to talk about another former Raven Marshall Ganda who 110 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 4: coming from Iowaen. I know, you guys are tall. I 111 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 4: was at a slew of offensive linemen in the NFL 112 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,359 Speaker 4: who've really panned out. Of course, you concluded if you 113 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 4: had to put your finger on what is it? What 114 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 4: are the things about an eye offensive line? Why is 115 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 4: that offensive line factory? 116 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: I think it starts with coach Farrence, you know, just 117 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 2: he has an O line background who was an O 118 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: line coach, and anytime we're doing individual work, anytime we're 119 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: doing team stuff, he's behind watching the O line and 120 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 2: I think just the mentality that he brings, you know, 121 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: kind of this this scheme structure is certainly helps O 122 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: lineman be successful at the next level. And you know, yeah, 123 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: it's guys, guys have done a good job in the league. 124 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 2: But it's also just a mentality that coming from Iwan 125 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: going into the NFL that certainly has helped. 126 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: In your game individually. I mean, obviously, you know, back 127 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: to back Pro Bowls and you're playing extremely high level, 128 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: recognized as one of the best centers in the game. 129 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: But I'm sure you look at yourself and say, get it, 130 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: I can still get better when you watch the film, 131 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: you know, where do you look at and say, all right, 132 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: like that's what I kind of want to improve on. 133 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean everything, and I want to 134 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: improve on everything. It's just the more reps you get, 135 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 2: you know, the more you know little details and critiques 136 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: that you're going to have of yourself. No, certainly you're 137 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 2: going to be playing with more confidence from let's say 138 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: when I was a rookie to now. 139 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 3: But you really got to focus on the little details. 140 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 2: And that's what makes the NFL so special is you're 141 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 2: going against really really good guys and the little things 142 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: is what's going to matter most, just like what we 143 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: talked about with Phelps, right, you know, that's the stuff 144 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 2: that you've got to be detailed on and going on 145 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: your skills. 146 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: Does it Do you feel like like you're a longtime 147 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: veteran at this point, because I mean you stepped in 148 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: like when you got drafted, you you were a starter immediately, 149 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: I mean first practice, all right, linderboul is the guy 150 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: right and like in the center because you have so 151 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: many responsibilities, like you really have to be that leader 152 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: and that anger on the line. 153 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 3: You know. 154 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: Do you feel now like, all right, I'm the season vet? 155 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 3: You know, I don't know.

So you obviously there's been a few 177 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: hiccups during this camp, but you know, I'm glad we're 178 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: getting it out of the way now and then not 179 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 2: carrying it over into the season. 180 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 4: Your relationship with Lamar, I mean obviously that's he's the 181 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: only quarterback you've played with every year. As you guys 182 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 4: are together more, how do you I don't want to 183 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 4: say it's easy, because it's never but how do you 184 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: see the fact that you're going into another year with 185 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 4: him being in an advantage as opposed to when you 186 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 4: were a rookie year and everything with him was new. 187 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's, you know, the more reps you 188 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 2: get with each other, you know, you kind of see 189 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 2: the same things. You knowbviously, they on line in the 190 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: quarterback have to be on the same page. And I 191 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,839 Speaker 2: think that's definitely gotten better from year one to year 192 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 2: four now. And you know, obviously, I mean blocking for 193 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: Lamar is special. There's a lot can go wrong and 194 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: he can make it right with how special he is. 195 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: And you know, we have the opportunity to block for 196 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the game, so we don't take 197 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: that for granted. 198 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 3: So we got to block our butts off for him. 199 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of relationships, you and Pat McCarey now down 200 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, your guy, How weird is it? How weird 201 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: is it not to have Pat next year? 202 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: Yeah? 203 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: It sucks, but you know, obviously Pat helped me, helped 204 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 2: me a lot from year one to obviously last year 205 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: year three. But excited for him, no, getting the opportunity 206 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: down in Jacksonville, and I know he's going to do 207 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 2: well down there. But you know, just like next next 208 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: guy in mentality and uh, you know, whoever's stepping in 209 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: has to play their butts off. 210 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I do want to talk about some of the 211 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: guys around you, and you know, Andrew Voorhees has stepped 212 00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: in that left guard spot and it looks like he's 213 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: just had a really solid summer, really strong training camp. 214 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: What have you seen from Varhe's he did though you 215 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: did kind of throw him under the bus saying, you know, 216 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't working out or whatever it was this offseason. 217 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: Would I know you two were here the whole time, 218 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: so he has some beef to pick with you well 219 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: on that one, But what have you seen from Vorheas? 220 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 2: You know, he's a guy that continues to get better 221 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: and better. I think last year just I mean that 222 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: was his first time back since a major knee injury. Yeah, 223 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 2: you know, obviously then he hurt his ankle and just 224 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: never really got the opportunity to get back into the game. 225 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: But he continued to work his butt off during the 226 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: season in practice and then obviously just in the weight room, 227 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: you know, really honding in on getting stronger, working on 228 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: his technique. And then he's another guy that just asked 229 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: questions all the time, which that's what you need to have. 230 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 2: You know, you need to be on the same page 231 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 2: with your left tackle, with your center, and just having 232 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: a bigger understanding of the game. And he's a student 233 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: of the game, and I think you know, Sky's a 234 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: lemmit for him. 235 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: And on your other side, Daniel Folele, you know, I 236 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: know he's a guy who first time starting last year, 237 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, had some ups and downs earlier in the 238 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: year and then kind of just keeps getting better. And 239 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: you know, he had a tough rep in the preseason game, 240 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: and it just seems like, for whatever reason, Daniel's like 241 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: a lightning rod a little bit on social media. I 242 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: know you're a huge social media guy and you're always 243 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: on it seeing everything. Yes, but so I don't have 244 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: to tell you this, but like for it, honestly, like 245 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: takes you. I end up like defending Daniel a lot, 246 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: and so I want you to do the same, Like 247 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: tell people, tell our listeners what like Daniel's all about? 248 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: Like what do you see from Daniel? 249 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I wouldn't let that one rep define 250 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: the kind of season Daniel's gonna happen. Yeah, I'm really 251 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 2: excited for him. I think he's put in the work. No, 252 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see the things that he's going 253 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: to do this year with all the other old linemen, 254 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 2: knowing one rep doesn't define us, it's it's a tough 255 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 2: position and things like that are going to happen. But 256 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 2: we all see the work that he puts in outside 257 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,599 Speaker 2: of football and on the practice field. So No, I 258 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: think Daniel is gonna have a tremendous year and I 259 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: think he's gonna silence a lot of those haters. 260 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 4: Yes, another teammate I want to ask you about was 261 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 4: Cooly Bullock started a center for his preseason game. I 262 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 4: know that you know you are in the same room 263 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: with him a lot. How have you seen him grow 264 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 4: from last year? And I know your home a god, 265 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 4: but I'm sure you've tried to help him. What kind 266 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 4: of things you try and tell, particularly someone playing center 267 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 4: that you think you know can help them make the 268 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 4: progress he's making. 269 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm super stove for Corey. I think 270 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: you know he's putting himself in a great position. He 271 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 2: plays the game the right way, he plays the game. 272 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 2: How you want to align him to play physical tough, 273 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 2: and you know he's a smart guy too, so he can, 274 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 2: you know, if anything happens, He's I'm totally comfortable with 275 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: him going in at that position and playing at a 276 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 2: high level. He's the guy that you just continues to work, 277 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: continues to get better, and you know, I'm excited for 278 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 2: you know what's up coming for Corey. 279 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: Your sense of humor. I mean, I think some people 280 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: don't really know how much you like the kid around 281 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: and because you're so serious about your craft. But the 282 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: locker room here with the Raven seems like it's always 283 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 4: as you've been here, you know, been a tight locker 284 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 4: room and you guys have a lot of fun together. 285 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 4: Is there any part of that that you think can 286 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: help you guys get over to HOMP and the bonding 287 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: that people always talk about in the chemistry? How important 288 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: is that? Do you think that really is to what 289 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: you guys are trying to do. 290 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's huge. 291 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 2: You know, the cohesiveness of the units. I think it 292 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 2: just kind of builds trust and belief in one another, 293 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: you know, building that camaraderie. It's one thing to go 294 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: out and just practice with each other, but if you're 295 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 2: not going to be talking to each other in the 296 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 2: locker room or building those relationships, then do you really 297 00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: know your teammates? And I think we have a really 298 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 2: good locker room in that aspect. Guys you know, care 299 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: for each other, asking about each other, you know, personal things, 300 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 2: stuff like that, And I don't know, I think that's 301 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: what you need in a team and for a team 302 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: to be successful, but also actually got to put the 303 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: work in. 304 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: So what happens when a member of the airline leaves 305 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: like Pat? Is he cut out of the text chain 306 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: or how does that work? 307 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? You got to kick him out to hear it? 308 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: Yep, one, I'm curious. You know what we were talking 309 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: about leadership earlier and how the leaders of this team 310 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: are doing just that. And there's a lot of guys 311 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: who are going into contract years or up for extensions 312 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: and all that stuff yourself included, right you, Travis, I 313 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: mean I don't have to name them all. There's a 314 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: lot and like literally nobody's talking about it. I mean you, 315 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: The answer has been the same from everybody, like we'll 316 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: cross that bridge when we come to. But I'm I'm 317 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm focused on playing my best football this season. It's 318 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: not like that everywhere, like all around the league. You're 319 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: just constantly hearing about these guys who are holding in, 320 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: holding out whatever, you know, going in front of reporters 321 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: like us and saying, yeah, I just want to be 322 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: paid fairly whatever.

Yes, 359 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: just a leader in every sense of the word for 360 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: this team and just honestly like one of my favorite 361 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: dudes of the team. You know, if you just want 362 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: to chop it up with somebody in the locker room 363 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: and chat with somebody, Tyler is a good good bet. 364 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: You know he's he's just a great dude. 365 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, he says, he doesn't feel like this season vet, 366 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: but he plays like one. And I think the way 367 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 4: his teammates look at him, they view him in that way. 368 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 4: And yeah, he talked about the importance of the center 369 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 4: quarterback relationship, and yeah, I mean you can see that 370 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 4: growing every year the Ravens, as they say, strong up 371 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 4: the middle. With those two guys, I think that they 372 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 4: have a really chance now a good chance largely not 373 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 4: large because of those two, but they're part of the 374 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,920 Speaker 4: equation to me of this offense taking even another level 375 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 4: in the third year with Tamunk, and those are two 376 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 4: pieces who've been together when they walter the line of 377 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,720 Speaker 4: scrimmage down, I think they're really on the same page 378 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 4: more than they ever have been before. And that's important. 379 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: Yep. 380 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 1: And I think that obviously it starts with the offensive line, right, 381 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: and this year's offensive line I think has a chance 382 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: to be really good. You know, you got Lindy on 383 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: the year four. 384 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: You know a lot of his health. 385 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: They were very healthy last year, so remaining healthy is 386 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: a big component. But yeah, Lindy on the year four, 387 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 1: re signed Ronnie Roger. Now in year two I think 388 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: is going to be even better. I really like what 389 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: I've seen from Andrew Warhees and fall Leiley. I think 390 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a much better season than fans think 391 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: he's gonna have. I think he's gonna be a good 392 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: player this year. 393 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 4: Right last training camp last year, what did we always 394 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 4: hear three new starters on the offensive line, Well, looks 395 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 4: like there's going to be one probably, and that one 396 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 4: was a starter. 397 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: Well, I was gonna say, yeah, like Voris isn't technically 398 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: even a news start. 399 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 4: Actly. So the cohesion offensive lineman talk about all the time, 400 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 4: the more you can keep the whole group together, the better. Well, 401 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 4: they're back, yeah, and they're looking to do big. 402 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: Things yep, yep. 403 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: And you know, the Ravens run game obviously was a 404 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: huge component of last year's success, the best run game 405 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: in the league. You got Derrick Henry going into year two. 406 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of things going right 407 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: on this offense right now. And Todd Munkin has been 408 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: very intentional about saying, look, yeah, we've got all these 409 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: pieces back, and we've got these great skill piece weapons 410 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But like we're the number one 411 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 1: offensive league and you can't just say, yeah, we're gonna 412 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: be number one again just doesn't happen like that, right, 413 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: Like nothing is guaranteed and you have to start over. 414 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: And I think that you hear the mindset, that kind 415 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: of mindset echoed through Tyler Lindervaum of like, yeah, we 416 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: got to do it again, you know, and put in 417 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: all the work and all those little things to get 418 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: to wherever we want. 419 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 4: To be, yes, which is to be the last team standing. 420 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 4: So ye, when that's your goal and you know that 421 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 4: you're good enough to do it, the little details and 422 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 4: being better in any way you can can make the difference, yep. 423 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely well.
