5
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: there for Marcus, Paul and his family and what it

6
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: was like today attending the service virtually. Yeah. Um, first

00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: and foremost, I'm sending all prayers to Marcus's family, UM

8
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: and his wife, you know, just for something that happened

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: right before our eyes. And Um, a great life taken

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: away from us. Um is a tragedy. I mean, ain't

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: no other way to put it, Um, And just to

12
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: be at the memorial and be with the teammates, be

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: surrounded with each other and understand that, uh, we have

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: to live each and every day like it's our last

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: and understand that ain't nothing promised to us and be

16
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: able to cherish each and every moment. And I feel

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: like just looking back on Marcus's career here and being

18
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: able to make a friendship with him, that's how he

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: loved each and every day. So I just want to

20
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: say I love you, Marcus. Um. You always would be

21
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: in my heart and I ain't got number love and

22
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: respect for you. There were a number of speakers at

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: that memorial service today that you guys were able to

24
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: watch from the facility, anything with anything that was said

25
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: that has resonated with you or kind of stuck with

26
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: you the most as as you kind of move forward now,

27
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: I mean just the type of man he is, UM,

28
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: which I already knew UM just from my background of

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: being with him and you know, being coached b so

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: UM just understanding like I build a relationship with him also.

31
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard, you know, to speak on

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 1: it without you know, getting emotional. But it's just him

33
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: being as humble as he is UM, And he really

34
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: don't talk about his accolades or you know, what he

35
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: did throughout his career and you know all that stuff.

36
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: But he's just so humble and he always you know,

37
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: the type of person that's trying to see you to

38
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: see And that's why I have some much respect for

39
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: him because I ain't never had no bad word from him,

40
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: just always pushed me to you know, do better and

41
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: go harder. Smart to mention here, emotional, how hopeful was

42
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: it given the emotions like you said, to have another

43
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: day as a teen today that process and celebrate markets's

44
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: wife before you focus some stuff on the races again. Yeah,

45
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, just just to have you know, a couple

46
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: of days off and uh really get the focus on

47
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: you know what's important, and that's that's family. I mean, UM,

48
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: just being able to you know, witness what happened with

49
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Marcus and what his family is happening to bear. Um

50
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. So, UM, I just wanted to take

51
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: the time to reflect, be with my family, um and

52
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: enjoy um those days with them. How emotional is this season?

53
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: But for you just in general, because I believe you

54
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: were thinking about not playing because of COVID. Maybe you

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: bought through some health issues at the season progression. Now

56
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: you know you gotta do with losing Marcus. Yeah, I mean,

57
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty has been rough for you know

58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a lot of us. Um. You know, it's it's been

59
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: throwing us blows here and there, um and and out

60
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere, and it's just all about us, uh really

61
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: just keeping eye, um, you know, keeping out a distance,

62
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: making sure we're doing everything possible to um stay in touch.

63
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: But also you know, like I said, keep that distance

64
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: and just show show everybody how much how much you

65
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: really love them eating every day because you never know

66
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: the markets. How are you guys able to compartmentalize everything

67
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: and you know, after the service get back into a

68
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: football mode and and play last week? What is it

69
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 1: about pro athletes that you guys can just kind of

70
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: compartmentalize things for a few hours and move on and

71
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: not think about such a tragedy. Uh yeah, I mean,

72
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, it's it's it's hard, you know,

73
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: dealing with the tragedy and also having to put those

74
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: blinders on, um and go to work. But um, it's

75
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: just like you know, around a bicycle. Once you do

76
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: something repetitive, over time, it gets locked into your you know,

77
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: your psyche soul. You can you know, do it without

78
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: even thinking about it, and um that's how you're supposed

79
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: to be able to play the game of football. And um,

80
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: so I mean it's really no, no, biggie, it's just

81
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: all about you know, just lining up and doing what

82
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: you know how to do. Markets. What was it like

83
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: watching the raising positions today? Yeah? It was pretty cool. Um,

84
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: just to be around the guys, you know, share a

85
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: couple of laughs, see the game live, um, you know,

86
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: and also get to see Robert Griffin played, so it

87
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: was kind of cool. I mean, we had a good time.

88
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: Were you able to pick up much that you wouldn't

89
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: be able to pick up on the twenty two films?

90
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: It was the broadcast copy helpful for you, uh and

91
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: as a group to kind of we're able to pick

92
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: up thing glides there. Yeah, I mean you know some

93
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: guys you know in the group, you know probably listen

94
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: for something different or look for something different. But I

95
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: mean all the keys that you know, I try to

96
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: U game planing off is basically on the iPad, So

97
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean I don't really like watching it live because

98
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: all the commercials, to be honest, but yeah, the markets here.

99
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: I will be a teammate and cut de briance and

100
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: obviously now with the Raven, you guys were U pretty

101
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: close in the locker room. Just what do you think

102
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: it'll be like to uh, to go against him on

103
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: to that game. It's gonna be a great day, you know,

104
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: just to reunite with this be on the same field. Um,

105
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: even though he's wearing different colors, UM still got love

106
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: and respect for this. But you know he knows who

107
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: he going up again, So UM, ain't no mercy out

108
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: there on that on that grass, it surprised you it

109
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: took him a while to get back in the league.

110
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Said again that it surprised you that it took him

111
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: a little bit to get back in the league. Uh.

112
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it kind of did. But then again,

113
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: like I was seeing all the free agents, uh, you

114
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: know out there, and you know how long it's tough

115
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: for Jadeveon Clowney to get signed. So it was, you know,

116
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: I ain't know what was going on, you know, to

117
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: be honest, any more questions, didn't Sorry, yeah, one, I'm sorry.

118
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: I I mean, I know it's so hard to think

119
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: about your season as an individual because of who you

120
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: are as a team. Would you say, considering you know,

121
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: the health you've had it ever in the year and

122
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: everything that's going on, that you aren't having a pretty

123
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: good season? You say, considering everything going on, are we

124
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: having a pretty good season? No? Yeah? Yeah, considering when

125
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: you are as a team record wise, would you consider

126
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: yourself as an individual having a pretty good teason despite

127
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: the fact of your team that's struggling a little bit? Uh?

128
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean all, honestly, don't. I don't feel like I'm

129
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: not doing good unless we're winning. I'm a competitor. I

130
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: don't go out there for the glory of stats. I

131
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: go out there for the glory of wins and the

132
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: achievement that I, um, you know, make what my teammates. Um.

133
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: If I if I wanted to worry about my stats,

134
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I go play tennis. You know. So uh that that's

135
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: for all the spectators and you know, the people playing

136
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: video games still worry about But for for me, my

137
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: focus is on about winning smartistically great. The defense have

138
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: shown pretty significant improvement in the games against Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis.

139
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you continue to move on an

140
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: improvement level last week where there's a little bit of

141
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: a regression and if so, how do you make sure

142
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: you live in the right direction against Baltimore? Yeah, I

143
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: feel like how defense is taken, you know, tremendous steps

144
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: each and every week, and it's all about you know,

145
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: that trust and the bonds that we are making and

146
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: being able to be be honest with each other and

147
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: let each other know when we made a mistake or

148
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: you know when we're doing right. And also you know,

149
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: boosting you know, each and everyone's confidence on the defense. Um,

150
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, because it's like I said earlier and one

151
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: one other interview. Um that you look at the records

152
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: and UM, it's nobody's superior UM in this league. So

153
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: it's all about you know, getting down and dirty and

154
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 1: um being able to play for sixty minutes great to
