1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a cool feeling. It's like you get

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: called down to the principal's office. Anthony Aber please comes down. Nick?

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: He like, yeah, how much are you looking forward to

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: a first career pick in the NFL? But every day

5
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: that's how I think it's been in a way. They

6
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: blessed me, they picked me, So I mean, I'm definitely

7
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: gonna play hard, if you know, for this organization. Welcome

8
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: into the lounge presented by DraftKings. The regular season is

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: right around the corner of the Ravens are in regular

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: season mode, training campus, finished cuts have been made, the

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 1: team is set kind of their week more changes, um,

12
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: and we have today with us a big piece of

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: the defense. And then is cornerback Anthony Aver. Yeah, Anthony

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: is somebody who flies under the radar a little bit

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: because it's hard to stand out on the best secondary

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. When you got a guy like Markus

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Peters who's a multi time proble bowler, and Marlon Humphrey

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: who's put himself in the best cornerback group in the league.

19
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: You know he's he is in that conversation of best

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: corners in the league. And so it's uh. And then

21
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith has been here for a decade um, so

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: it's tough to stand out in the secondary, especially at cornerback.

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: And Anthony every is someone who's waited his turn. But

24
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: I think that he's going to get opportunities and when

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: he does, he's going to be ready for him. Because

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: this guy is a really talented player. Uh, he's incredibly

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: confident and I'm excited to see what he does with

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: his time. So, without any further ado, let's go ahead

29
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and jump into our interview. Well, Anthony, thanks for joining us.

30
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: I gotta start here. Your hair, who died it is this?

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: Did you do this yourself? It's pretty pretty smiffy. It

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: was definitely I definitely did it but myself. But well,

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: well it's what hairdresser. Okay, okay, okay, it was my idea,

34
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: it was your idea and for the listeners, and you

35
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: gotta describe right here, we have half blonde and half

36
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: like crim some tied red. I know, yeah, I didn't

37
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: even think about the cristal tide think until really intention No, No,

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: it definitely wasn't. I just like right right with a color,

39
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: So I just I just like to just like to color. Really,

40
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: it's even the perfect shade too. It's like the al

41
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: It's that Crimson ship. It makes sense though, So I

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: just been just right. You know. The big question is

43
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: are are you going to go purple before the start

44
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 1: of the season. Let's start, I don't know, I don't

45
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: know start, but maybe halfway okay, maybe halfway see how

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: things are going. I don't want to just half way

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: to the end. We'll see, We'll see what happens. That's cool.

48
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: So just how is training camp of the preseason gone

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: for you? Um? You know this is you're gonna be

50
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: a really important player this year, and just where do

51
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: you feel like you are right now? It's going? Well?

52
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I can't very well. Definitely a long camp, but it

53
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: was back to the norm, which I like. I like

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: how the fans came back you know at preseason games

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, and uh but as far as you know,

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: as the team as old for us, I mean, I

57
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: think we're going to do very well this year. And

58
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: I personally think I'm doing very well, you know, just

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: out there practison is working on my technique and things

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: like that and just being you know, just being a contributor.

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: For sure. What I liked about you is you know,

62
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: you spoke at our press conference a week or so ago,

63
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: and that confidence, man, is awesome because like you're kind

64
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: of like a more like soft spoken guy around us,

65
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, and like Garrett just turned up the volume

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: on your mind. I always wonder but that's just me

67
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: so so, but like to hear that that quiet confidence

68
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: is really cool. Like is that something that you feel

69
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: like you've built up over the past, you know, three

70
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: years of playing well or is it like or have

71
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: you always had that and people haven't seen it always?

72
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, was always always had a confidence even in college.

73
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: I was quiet, but the play always always played with

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: confidence though with the field, I mean I just played

75
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: loud about that talk talk quiet, play loud? Yeah, I

76
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: played loud. Yeah, So that's cool. So, you know, one

77
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: of the things going back to that press conference that

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Ryan mentioned, like you talked about how when you got

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: on the field at Alabama you never left, like you

80
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of had to wait, but then once you got

81
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: out there, you never left. Talk about that process in college,

82
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: what that was like kind of starting slow and having

83
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: to play behind really good players on the best team

84
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: in the country, but then getting your opportunity. Yeah, well,

85
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: Bama that story. Yeah, that story is different. So I

86
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: got reassured it. Like my freshman year Abama, I was

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: recruited as an athlete. I didn't even I didn't play corner.

88
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: So in high school like that, I was safety. I

89
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: kind of just a roman the field, quarterback to quarterback. Yeah,

90
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: I was really like offensive guy really, so I had

91
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: to like transfer my brain into like defense. So that's

92
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: never a sure, that's what it was. Just had to

93
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,559
Speaker 1: just you know, getting a playbook and just had actually

94
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: had to play corner. You know. It was saving. But

95
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: so that process was really like a two year process

96
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: really that took. That took like a good two years

97
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: that really actually learned how to play you know, the

98
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: position there. So after that I was really just there

99
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: for special teams Atabama. Then probably like what that my

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: breakout year was my reshot junior year. I think I

101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: was like my third or fourth year I was there,

102
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: and that's when I started on opposite out of Maryland. Yeah,

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: so that year, I mean that defensive he was he

104
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: was good stain. It was everybody pretty much. So so

105
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: that's how Yeah, Ever, since I got on the field,

106
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: you know, I just never looked back really, I mean

107
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: that was the story. I mean definitely was hard. But no,

108
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: but the four or five stars all in front of you,

109
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: but I just waited my turn. And so when you

110
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: get recruited as an athlete, like, were you thinking I'll

111
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: probably end up as a corner or you think and

112
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a receiver? Like what were you

113
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: when you first went there? Like what was that? I

114
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: did want to play a corner though? And saving he did,

115
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: you know? Tell me like I want you to play

116
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: corner when you come here, Like, Okay, I knew it

117
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be a process, but I didn't know it

118
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: was gonna be that hard. I didn't know. I didn't

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: know it was going to be totally different from what

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: I've been used to for store. But definitely, I mean

121
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: I've done it. I mean I'm still learning. You know

122
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: how to play a corner obviously, but it's definitely you know,

123
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: I feel like you always learned how to play your position. Anyways, Yeah,

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: what's it like, what's it like getting recruited by Nick

125
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: Saven when he comes and he sits down in the

126
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: living room and he makes a pitch, Like, what is

127
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 1: that process? That process? That was different because he actually

128
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: came to my school. So that's first of my see

129
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: him at first. And he came to my school. And

130
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: I went to like Whoodbury High School not too far

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: hour hour and a half away from here, Jersey, and

132
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: this only I only had graduated with like a hundred

133
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: students in my class. I went to like a small

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: school group one for sure, what's it like one of

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: the smaller schools. And when he came out there, it

136
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: was just like Savings say, like, we don't you know,

137
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: things like that don't happen. That's like god walking. Yeah,

138
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: Like it was just a different feeling, different, you know.

139
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean everybody was just like like, you know, it

140
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: was just you know, I mean, I can't really can't believe.

141
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know put it in words. Honestly, that's gonna

142
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: be a cool feeling. It's like you get called down

143
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: to the principal's office, Anthony Aber, please come down, Nick Saban.

145
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,680

146
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, we don't have that offense too much. Yeah

147
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: that's cool. And you're you're a big time track guy

Speaker 1: about humans and you're number one, he had right, That's

154
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: why I always that tell people it was Carl Lewis.

155
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: Carl Lewis right. That's so funny though, trying to like

156
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: put my brain don't have so. I mean, and you

157
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: were a sprinter too, I mean besides long jumps. So

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: did you think that there was a future in track

159
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: and field? Was that something you consider? It was always football, football, football.

160
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: I always knew I was gonna play football in college

161
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: because track it was just something. It was more like

162
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: a hobby of something I was good at. And uh,

163
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: it's just something I was good at. Football. It is

164
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: like something I love. So I always knew I want

165
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: to play football. And I did a little bit of

166
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: track at Bama. I tried to do long jump a

167
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: little bit, but it wasn't the same. Interesting, Why why

168
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: is it different? It was just different? Uh, just because

169
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: it's college. I just didn't have to love for it

170
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 1: as much as I did in high schoo high squad

171
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: for like, I really enjoyed it way more. Seems like no,

172
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: Marlon is also a track guy. So is there any

173
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: smack talk between the two of you two different in events. Yeah,

174
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: that's something I didn't do, Like it was something totally different.

175
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: So and what about what about when it comes to

176
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 1: just a forty yard dash, you know, to just who's faster, Well,

177
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: he knows, he knows, he knows, he'll He'll give you

178
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: that crown for that part. That's that's actually funny because

179
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't get enough, you don't get

180
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: your due when it comes to like the debate about

181
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: like who's the fastest guy on the team. Do you

182
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: agree with this? Yeah, I know I'm always under the radar.

183
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: It's okay though. It's like when they do the mad

184
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: In ratings and it's like Hollywood and Lamar, Um. I

185
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: bet Anthony's faster straight line than Lamar. Hollywood is a

186
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 1: tough one, you got Hollywood, I don't know. Yeah, we

187
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: would definitely pray. That would probably be the best race

188
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: on the team, is what I imagine. Yeah, that would

189
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: definitely be I'll be and RG three straight line would

190
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: have been in the conversation like he's gone, he's but yeah,

191
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm just saying too, yeah as well, I think you

192
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: would beat him. Yeah, yeah, sucking them now. So so

193
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: just you know your Ravens career. You know, you come

194
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: here as a fourth round pick and you know, again

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: you know kind of had to wait your turn a

196
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, can you just talk about what

197
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: that's been like and kind of I feel like last

198
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: year and really the previous year to that, the past

199
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: years you were almost like a super sub. You know,

200
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: like Jimmy went down last year and it was like

201
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,719
Speaker 1: bringing in the super So if you got Anthony, we're

202
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: all good. You know, Like, how how do you keep

203
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: your mindset in that situation? You know, it's definitely difficult,

204
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: but I think college will happen to me in college

205
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: is pretty similar way obviously, and that kind of prepared

206
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: me mentally really just to stay ready. I mean that's

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 1: the hardest thing really, just to stay ready. I mean,

208
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you never know your name will get called, and that's

209
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: the real thing for sure. Nothing of that pretty quickly

210
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: when I came here, like okay, I'm up, I get

211
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: ready for that. I wasn't used to that before. You know,

212
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: I was used to playing field since you know, Day won,

213
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, but that now, yeah, it's just different. So

214
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: that I just I don't know, I would just saying

215
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: just college prepared me for it, and now I mean,

216
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: I mean I'm pretty much just taking on that role

217
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: and you know, just being super sub and just trying

218
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: to increase that role, you know, just playing more and more,

219
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: just being you know, getting better and better. And I

220
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: mean just bringing it to the current situation. I mean,

221
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: Jimmy's coming off as he's got an ankle thing he's

222
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: coming back from, and you know, Harves said, you know,

223
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: it's taking a little longer. We'll see if he's back

224
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: for week one or whatever. I mean, so you could

225
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: from the jump here being a pretty big spot. Well,

226
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: I've definitely been ready for that. Uh and I've basically

227
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,719
Speaker 1: been doing it, you know, you know I can't preseason

228
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: as well, so I mean not even gave me more confidence,

229
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, and just running role back

230
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: last year. I started those last year two games last

231
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: year or two for the team, and I played very well.

232
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: So they just gave me the confidence. Was that a

233
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: when you played those games last year? Like do you

234
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: go into those We talked about the confidence thing, but

235
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: like you can have confidence, but then you actually got

236
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: to like do it on the Like was that validating

237
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: to go in last year and play well and be

238
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: like okay, like I felt like I could do it.

239
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: But now that I've actually done it, Yeah, now that

240
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: comfort comes in. That's what it's just now now I'm

241
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: comfortable now, Like now I feel like, oh, yeah, I

242
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: made this play before I can make it again. You

243
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: know I've seen something I can I've I've seen something

244
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: just more experience, So I think it's more just a

245
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: comfort filling. What do you feel like is like where

246
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: has your game grown the most? You know in just

247
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: learning the position? Like you said you're constantly learning. Yeah,

248
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: where do you feel like you have bring the mess?

249
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: I would think just seeing more, especially like my Zoe

250
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: and eyes watching MP. I'll watched him a lot just

251
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: to see, you know, what are you's looking at? Like, well,

252
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: a route, what's coming? You know? Not just straight off reaction.

253
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: A lot of things I used to do in the passive,

254
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: which is really react because I'm fast and switchy. But

255
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: now I kind of feel like when the rout was coming,

256
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: already like, no, what's coming, And that's that's pretty much.

257
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting when you know what's coming, that

258
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: makes the job a lot easier, much slower, slower experience.

259
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: I say, well, it's it's interesting to hear you mentioned Marcus,

260
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: because I know Marlon has talked about when Marcus arrived,

261
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: like he was. He's called him the smartest corner that

262
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: he's hang around. And like, I think that the outside people,

263
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: you know, the fans, look at Marcus and what a

264
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: lot of people see is the trash talk and the

265
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: fiery side, and like that's the Marcus Peters that a

266
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of people know. But I think you guys, like

267
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: you just talked about it. Marlin's talked about the studious side,

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: the intellect that he brings to the game. Can you

269
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: shed some light on that. Yeah, he definitely sees the

270
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: game in a different way, And I noticed that what

271
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: probably I mean, as soon as he got here at first,

272
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta pick six the first you can see,

273
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, you can see you know, he definitely got game.

274
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: But I mean I think I think it just pretty much,

275
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, just how the way he watched film. You know,

276
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,079
Speaker 1: he always looks at you know, it looks at too

277
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: with just a slot receiver, and he pretty much says

278
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: that tells a story most of the times. And like

279
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: things like that, I'm like, dang, so like the numbers

280
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: of the guys that are not sticking, you're looking at

281
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: somebody else to see what it's just that's interesting, very yeah,

282
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. But it's work as like that. It

283
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: works so right? How much are you looking forward to

284
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: a first career pick in the NFL? About every day?

285
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: Every every day? Every day of me? I talked to

286
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: my family all the time, and you know, y'all, it

287
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: doesn't matter that they'll may all it's just cherity, just

288
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: glad to see me out there. You're just blessed to

289
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: be out there. But definitely that's all to my family,

290
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: even you know, teammates as well. You know, that's just

291
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: something I feel like we all, I mean, most of those,

292
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: it don't matter. We just want picks anyways that corner.

293
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: We just so want that. That's the big thing. Isn't

294
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: it all hard? Being you know, as as good as

295
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: you are now at that level entering your fourth year,

296
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: and it's still just because of Marlon and Marcus and Jimmy.

297
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's not in a starting quote unquote role.

298
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: That's gotta be a little tough, you know, and people

299
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: talk about, well, Eiver, it would be a starter on

300
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: any other team in the league, you know, but you're

301
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: not exactly like how how difficult is that for you

302
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: to kind of handle? It's definitely difficult, difficult, but I

303
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: mean i can control with all the control, you know,

304
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: And I'm blessed that the Ravens a drafting me. I mean,

305
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: all that seems passed up with me. So that's how

306
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I think of it in a way. Raviously they blessed me,

307
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: they picked me, So I mean, I'm definitely gonna play hard,

308
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: you know, for this organization I'm on so but really,

309
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean that's the only thing I really look at

310
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: and college prepared before. And obviously mentally, you know, you

311
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: gotta be you know, tough about it too, you know

312
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: as well. Mentally you could be draining, like, oh, I'm

313
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: doing all this work, but you know it's I'm not

314
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: getting on to feel it as much. But I mean,

315
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep grinding out and thanks will play all. Yeah.

316
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: Can you talk about your friendship with Marlon? I mean,

317
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: you guys started together. You wanted the Nation championship sixteen? Right, sixteen?

318
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: Did you guys want to be a lost that year?

319
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: It's like every year every other year because business, I've

320
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: been to three of them, counts one too. I'm yeah,

321
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: I'm just I really don't, you know, I'm trying to

322
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: remember all these national shapships just blur together. But what

323
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: is the connection you have with Marlon? And I gotta

324
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: believe when you were drafted, he was probably one of

325
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: the first guys you thought about, like just you know, yeah,

326
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: for sure, I mean yeah, because I mean we definitely

327
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: we played on the side. You know, I played on

328
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: the side. You know, I had Bama. That whole year

329
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: was just I think that whole year, I mean I

330
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: picked that was sixteen sixteen year, that whole defense, I

331
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: mean pretty much all went, you know with the NFL.

332
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: So when he got drafted, he came here and I

333
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's dope, Like he's one of Ravens.

334
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm not even thinking you know that following a year

335
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,919
Speaker 1: like or you know that fin I'm like, oh, I'm

336
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna rave was on the same team as Marlon, like,

337
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: and I was one of the first things. When I

338
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: got draft Ozzy Ozzy has told me, he said, you're

339
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: ready to play on the opposite side of Marlin or whatever.

340
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: I said, yea your home, I said, oh yeah, man,

341
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: like I can't wait. It was just, you know, it

342
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: was just a good moment, you know, a great moment,

343
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: you know. I mean my family heard it and all that.

344
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: But definitely shipp I mean, like I said, we've been together,

345
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: but I mean my locker was always near his too,

346
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: because his number and all, like any of even in college.

347
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,919

Speaker 1: in a character can I do by Brian McKinney impersonation,

357
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,960

Speaker 1: whole playoff. I remember, I remember we were just talking

377

413
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: the top, I just think this guy cornerbacks. Unfortunately you

414
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: get hurt. Yeah, knock on wood. But it's a position

415
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: where you oftentimes have some nagging stuff. Right to some guys,

416
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith is no stranger to what he's dealing with.

417
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: An angle right now, we all know his career track record.

418
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Um young right, So Anthony, really, I mean wing Martindale said,

419
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: he told the whole room, we should ask Anthony about this.

420
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: That was probably a pretty good moment for him. He

421
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: told the whole room to Anthony Aver, it's the third

422
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: best corner in their secondary, which you say is something

423
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 1: that's that's that's ahead of Jimmy, it's ahead of Tavan. Yeah,

424
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: that kind of takes some some hood spawn wigs put

425
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: it out right. Jimmy's oh right, um, but that's how

426
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 1: well he's been practicing. Anthony has been you know, in

427
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: in training camp and playing well in the preseason. And

428
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: this guy, man, he has he has the makings. I'm

429
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: telling you, next offseason, if all goes according to plan,

430
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: how it looks, you know how it's gone so far,

431
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Avers gonna make himself some coin. He's gonna, Yeah

432
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: it is, it will be. I I do. I agree

433
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: with that. I think that good starting caliber cornerbacks are

434
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: tough to come by, and they get paid a premium

435
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: for that reason. Uh. And so he also kind of benefits,

436
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: like it's kind of hurts him and helps him. Like corners,

437
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: when you are out there all the time, you play

438
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: the whole game like you're gonna get burnt. Sometimes right,

439
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and people see you get burnt on tape, like because

440
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: you're just getting thrown out a lot with Anthony. Like

441
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: if you don't, you're not out there all the time

442
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 1: to kind of have that on tape. The bad moments

443
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: don't go on tape, and then you flash some good

444
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 1: moments and people are like, well, man, if we just

445
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: he just plays like this all the time, you know,

446
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: he's sitting behind Marlon and Marcus like, wow, I'll sign

447
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: up for that, you know what I mean? Like, I

448
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: also think it goes both ways, talking about putting the

449
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: car before the horse. We talking about next season right now,

450
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: but um, I do think that that the Ravens could

451
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: certainly want to resign him, yeah, because you know, you

452
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: can probably get a good deal. And we're talking about

453
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: how how good we think he is if he ends up,

454
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, depending on the question is does he get

455
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: like a Taias Bowser kind of deal right right? Like

456
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: Tias was kind of a role player, you know, Yeah,

457
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: he was a role player, you know, and that starter.

458
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: But now he's a starter and he got paid you know,

459
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: good money, but not like break the bank money. You know, Um,

460
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: is that what Anthony avers ready for? I think it

461
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: probably depends on how much playing time he gets. Yeah, honest,

462
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna withhold like I want to wait and answer

463
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: that question because I think there's so many things like

464
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,680
Speaker 1: up in the air. Uh, And it depends how the

465
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: season goes. But if he ends up playing, you know,

466
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: like if he's on the field, then I probably I

467
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: will be curious to see what his role ends up

468
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: being because you know, if he goes out there on

469
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: the field, does that push Marlon Humphrey inside. There's also

470
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 1: Tavon Young who has come on you know, he's just

471
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: getting better and better and wink Martindale talked about Tavon

472
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: how coming back from the knee. You know, just a

473
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: little by little he's improving and kind of looks more

474
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 1: like himself. So you know, if you go out there

475
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: with three corners in Week one against the Raiders, is

476
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: it Marlon, Marcus and Tavon? And then so when what

477
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: is the role for Avorite? While Jimmy's hurt, right, I

478
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: mean he would roll in as kind of like a

479
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: dime package. I mean I think the question is, uh,

480
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: you know, if if tape something were to happen to Tavan,

481
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: which he's another cornerback that we all know has struggled

482
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: with injuries over his career. Then I think, judging by

483
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: winks comments of him being, you know, Anthony being the

484
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: third best corner, I think Marlin would probably bump inside

485
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: again and then Anthony Averite would be your one of

486
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: your starting corners opposite Marcus. Yeah, and you all him,

487
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: you would kind of stay in that hybrid you know,

488
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: check tight ends, that kind of hybrid safety corner role.

489
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: That's why I was just gonna say there could be

490
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: some matchup stuff too. Well, Jimmy is kind of your

491
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: matchup guy, and there's other matchup stuff, right like Easter,

492
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: Like I'll take Anthony, you know, we're matching up against whatever,

493
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: Micole Hardman, right. Um, So, yeah, Wink has a lot

494
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: of different possibilities based sell matchups, which he's often talked about.

495
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: That's how the NFL works these days. It's like the NBA.

496
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: It's a matchup game. Yeah, yeah, So whoever favorites matching

497
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,919
Speaker 1: up against. I like the Ravens chances, and I like

498
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: his opportunity to go out there and kind of make

499
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: a name for himself this year. Even though there are

500
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: a ton of talented players on the secondary double A

501
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: gonna be a big year anyway, thanks for listening. We're

502

Speaker 1: in in retrospective. Ever we go back, but we're gonna

505
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 1: put it on paper, all right, because there's a lot

506
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: of there's a lot of chit chat. You know, I

507
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: always am locked in on my opinions. I never sway

508
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: one bit, never maker. I never manker with my opinions. Um,

509
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: but we're gonna put it on paper, stay amp it,

530
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: and someone's like, I think that Mark Andrews is going

531
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: to have a hundred touchdowns and you're like, okay, that's

532
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: that's dumb. So so give us a bold prediction, but

533
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: a realistic one. How about the best bold prediction that
