Speaker 2: excited about big challenge with the Rams coming in on

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon, and we know what an important game it

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: is and our guys are preparing accordingly.

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: So what questions you have, John.

11
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 4: You know, you pret Aaron Donald a few times and

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 4: have become pretty pretty welcome daining him. What's kind of

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: the key when you're going against it, you know, dominating

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 4: cure guy like that.

15
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he's number ninety nine, right, you gotta

16
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: know where he's at at all times and try to

17
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: get as many people blocking him as you can, you know,

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: for as long as you can, which is which is

19
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: a tall order. He's one of the probably the greatest

20
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: ever play in their position, and so he's definitely that.

21
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: But not just him, They've got quite quite a few

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: really good players on defense. They play really hard. They're

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 2: flying around very disruptive front. So we've got to work

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: cut out for us a.

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 5: Little different than some points to come back from the

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: momentum and then deal with they laid by week.

27
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: No, I think it's been good for us.

28
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: I mean, our guys are in good spirits that the

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: time off will be good for us, I think physically

30
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: and you know mentally as well.

31
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: So.

32
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 2: Uh, but you know, it's just part of the National

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: Football League and we've got a big challenge in front

34
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: of us Sunday, and that's what everybody's focused on.

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 6: John, this is an offense that that likes to thrive

36
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 6: on some big plays. You guys have done really good

37
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 6: and limiting big plays, especially in the past game. What

38
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 6: do you think about the challenge of trying to keep

39
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 6: that keep a laid on them.

40
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: Right, That's a big challenge. I mean, it's it's number

41
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 3: one priority.

42
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 7: Uh.

43
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: You have to keep these guys from from the chunk

44
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 2: pass plays. It's uh, whether it's play action drop back pass.

45
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 2: I mean they're drop back pass rate right now is

46
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: one among the highest in the league, if not the highest,

47
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: in terms of pretty much every situation got a quarterback

48
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: that knows how to do it, knows how to handle protection,

49
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: but also the boots, you know, the change, the mystery

50
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: action passes with the run game, so kind of all

51
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 2: ties together in their system. Matt Stafford knows how to

52
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: do it, you know, as well as anybody as far

53
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 2: as running that system. A great play caller, so, uh,

54
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: all those things come into play.

55
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 7: Tape.

56
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 8: Did you fund yourself wondering why would do a fell

57
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 8: and followers and team and the draft up if you

58
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 8: remember doing anything more time?

59
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean I liked him.

60
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: He was one of my highest rated guys. And you

61
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: can ask anybody here ask ask the wide receiver coach.

62
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: Coach Lewis asked the scouts. He was way up on

63
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: my board, so, uh you know, yes I was, Yes,

64
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: I was, he was, And just he's playing exactly how

65
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: I thought he would. So for the record, but he

66
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: but the challenge, I mean, to your point, and it's

67
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: not I mean again, they've got a great, really good

68
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 2: receiving core.

69
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: I mean they've got guys you know, all across the board, and.

70
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: Cooper cups not to not too bad either, you know,

71
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: and uh, Higbe's a really good tight end and DeMarcus

72
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: is playing really well as well, so at well, he's

73
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: he's he's a speed guy. You got to keep an

74
00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 2: eye on him downfield at all time.

75
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: So it's a good group.

76
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 9: John mentioned a couple of weeks ago thought Marcus Williams

77
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 9: would really gain steam and be closer to the player

78
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 9: that you know he has been for you guys, I

79
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 9: guess this season went along. In that last game against

80
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 9: the Rams, he had a couple of breakups.

81
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 7: Is he close?

82
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 9: How close is he to kind of the healthy player?

83
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 9: Had his best at And do you think this bye

84
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 9: week is really something that a guy like Dennis really

85
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 9: good a benefit.

86
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: From, right, Yes to the last part, I would say,

87
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: and then yes to the first part too.

88
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 3: He's he's, he's.

89
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: You could see it really starting to kind of come

90
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: together in the last game. And uh, you know, I

91
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 2: mentioned to him Monday at practice. You know, I just

92
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: feel like I feel like he's kind of ready to

93
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: step out and and uh, you know, go make some

94
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: big plays for us. But he's he's getting he's getting

95
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: around the ball now. You know, he kind of showed

96
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 2: up downfield in front of the ball a couple of times.

97
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: He made a couple of hard hitting tackles and he

98
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: looks good.

99
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's a guy you don't want.

100
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: To forget about. He's a great football player. Marcus is

101
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 2: a great football player, and having him back there is

102
00:03:58,240 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 2: a big plus for us.

103
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 10: Weather gets cold in the running game amps, how graz

104
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 10: is to have three guys and Lamar Jackson, he would

105
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 10: have run the ball through a kind of like that

106
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 10: part of your game when that part of the season.

107
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: Oh, big part of it.

108
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, December football, you know, December football, January football.

109
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: The run game is important. Stopping runs massive, stopping doing

110
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 2: against this team is critically important. Running the ball against

111
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: this defense is very important. I mean, it's it's only

112
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be that way. We're gonna be saying

113
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: that every week all the way through December here, So

114
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: big part of it.

115
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,239
Speaker 11: John O'Dell's went against stam team in the Rams.

116
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 3: He wants to bowl with them.

117
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 4: Uh you know, now we're twelve games and uh you know,

118
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 4: how would you think with the impact of of of

119
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 4: odell this year for this time right?

120
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ode will be a captain forest, one of our

121
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: captains in this game, and he'll go out there and

122
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: do the coin toss and stuff and uh.

123
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: And he'll be out there playing. I mean he's he's.

124
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: Uh, he's a heck of a football player. I mean,

125
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: he draws a lot of attention, he's making plays. I

126
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: think he's really coming into his own health wise right

127
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: now and getting stronger and faster. I mean, it's a

128
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: it's a big road back from where he had to

129
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: where he had to come from. And and I just

130
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: you see it every single week you guys watch the games.

131
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: He's an explosive element to what he's doing and he

132
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 2: can really go and uh and I you know, I

133
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: know he's gonna make a bunch of big plays down

134
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: the stretch.

135
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 12: Here you're addressed the weather question, but specifically this Sunday,

136
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 12: it looks like high wins possibly in a lot of

137
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 12: possible rain. Does that factor into preparation in terms of

138
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 12: how you would adjust.

139
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Mark, I mean, you know, wins are a big

140
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: factor in the passing game and the kicking game, you know,

141
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: so we've got to take that into account. Just just

142
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: catching it, you know, whether it's catching upon a kickoff

143
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: or catching a pass. Ball handling is gonna be a

144
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 2: big part of it. Where a ball handling offense. So

145
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 2: we've got to handle the ball in wet weather. That's

146
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 2: gonna be important to us. We'll be keeping that in mind,

147
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 2: and it'll be big for them too. I mean they've

148
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: got to do the same thing. They play in the

149
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 2: same weather we do so well, you know, if we can,

150
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: if we can take advantage of any mistakes they might make.

151
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's uh.

152
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: You've got to you got to win the game in

153
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: every type of circumstance, and the elements are a big

154
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: part of it.

155
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 13: John, You've got a handful of i mean sort of

156
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 13: less thorld good players, guys like maybe Harrison and Brent Urbin.

157
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 13: A few guys come to mind that have made, you know,

158
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 13: notable contributions and plays, draft reports in the season count

159
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 13: or is it to have those suit of guys have

160
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 13: a po many things, but that's not really that they have.

161
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 13: Best with those guys who you know, can you contribute

162
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 13: to make this place draft of course of.

163
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 7: The season and the successfulces.

164
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: Right well, I mean it's massively important for for every

165
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: for for everybody to be a part of what you're doing.

166
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: I mean, football is the consummate team game. It always

167
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: has been, and it's not a one man show. It's

168
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: not a two man show. It's not it's not a

169
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 2: star system. It's a team system. It always has been.

170
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: I think teams that recognize that, and I think teams

171
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: do recognize that more so than anybody. Probably when you're

172
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: in the middle of it, you know that every single

173
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 2: guy is important, and every single guy is important. In

174
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: the course of a game or the season, somebody's going

175
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: to make a play. Somebody's got to make the play.

176
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: And if you're on that field, you have an opportunity

177
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: to make a play. In matter of fact, you're going

178
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 2: to be required to make the plays that that come

179
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 2: your way, you know, and uh, and you either do

180
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: it or you don't. I think that's what guys, it's.

181
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: It's kind of the ultimate meritocracy. You know, you're out there,

182
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: you have an opportunity, and either do it or you

183
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: don't do it. So our guys have stepped up, So

184
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: many guys have stepped up to your point. Just a

185
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: great point, Brian. That's why you know where where we're

186
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: at right now. So we've got to keep building on that,

187
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: and we've got to do it down the stretch.

188
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 12: John, we didn't.

189
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,480

00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: me check again because it's been a while since I've

200
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: looked into that one about uh, you.

201
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 9: Know, it's starting to have some strobole boating and pretty

202
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 9: safety and its originally starting in the backup on upsitting.

203
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: Right and Matthay kind of goes back to Bryan's point.

204
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's exactly right. Guys have done that. Geno

205
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: no more than anybody right leads the league in interceptions,

206
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,120

207
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: you know, and uh, we always pretty sure he could

208
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: do it. We knew he could do it, and you know,

209
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: guys get a chance and they do it. So proud

210
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: of him, but you know, John guarantee you. One thing

211
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: with Gino's thinking about is he's not looking back. He's

212
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,800

00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 14: we already do that.

245
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: You know.

246
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 14: We just gotta focus on what we can control, and

247
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 14: that's keep winning games, you know, going out there and

248
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 14: just putting on a uh better performance than we did

249
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 14: before the bout we I say, on offense, but just

250
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 14: keep fighting, you know, each and every game because it's

251
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 14: end the game of Sunday.

252
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: This is a tough stretch obviously that you guys have

253
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: to finish out the regular season. In some ways, does

254
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: it feel like, you know, the playoffs are kind of

255
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: starting early, just as you you know, knowing what's at

256
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: stake over the course of these last five games.

257
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 14: To be hon, I I feel like every week for

258
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 14: us been a playoff game throughout this season. Uh because

259
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 14: people didn't think uh Texans was that good and I

260
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 14: believe they pretty good coats, pretty good you know, pretty

261
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 14: solid teams still as you know, they they putting out

262
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 14: fights in Cincinnati. I mean not Cincinnati, but uh Cleveland.

263
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 14: Every week it's been a playoff game for us. We

264
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 14: just gotta keep staying locked in and like I said,

265
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 14: focus on what we can control.

266
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 9: It's already a pretty fraught injury picture, especially in HAFC quarterbacks.

267
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 9: And then you know, Trevor Lawrence and can you pick

268
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 9: it both go out with injuries this week.

269
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 11: What's it like kind of watching from apart seeing.

270
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 7: These teams kind of get hit.

271
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 11: With these injuries, getting the quarterbacks.

272
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 14: So, uh, we you know, we don't wanna see injuries

273
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 14: happening in the league. You know, we want everybody to

274
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 14: go out there and you know, give they all and

275
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 14: you know when they when we play against teams, you know,

276
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 14: just hea their best. But you know it's part of

277
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 14: the game. You know, I went down last year year before,

278
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 14: you know, But it happens in football, you know. But

279
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 14: we just gotta keep focusing on what we can control.

280
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 15: Wow.

281
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 6: I know you're always talking about striving to get better,

282
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 6: but going into the bye weeknd nine to three, did

283
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 6: you have time to kind of assess where you guys

284
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,839

Speaker 14: a break from focusing on football, you know, with us.

288

Speaker 14: locked in cause we know what's ahead of us. We

291

00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 17: receivers when it's comes to Obja specifically, do you really

347
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 17: feel like at this point in the season with what

348
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 17: you've built that you know, when it comes to clutch moments,

349
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 17: third downs, whatever, reads him like he's a guy that

350
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 17: you feel you have a lot of trust with. He's

351
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,320

353
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 14: brothers share. You know, we all wanna win. We all

354
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 14: know we chase him, like I said earlier, and that's

355
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 14: all to it. You know, if his numbers called, we

356
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 14: don't make it happen. Whoever's number callup, we gonna make

357
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 14: it happen. That's why we just communicate or.

358
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: Where you've referenced a couple of times, just you know

359
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: what you're chasing as a team. Do you feel like

360
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: that there's kind of a singular focus in that regard

361
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: that you know that this is this, this group has

362
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: a potential to be special, and that this is this

363
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: is a really good opportunity for.

364
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 18: You as a team.

365
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 14: M not singular focus. I believe you know some older

366
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 14: guys you know who here, who been in the league

367
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 14: a long time, it's feeling the same way. I'm pretty

368
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 14: much one of the younger, younger veteran guys, and I

369
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 14: just see it, you know, just from being in the league.

370
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 14: You know, we had a twenty nineteen just fell short,

371
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 14: you know. But but right now, you know, I'm preaching

372
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 14: it like I feel like I'm preaching to the quad.

373
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 14: But it's like, we gotta take advantage of what we have,

374
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 14: you know, cause we might not see it again and

375
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 14: f a few years though probably we might we might.

376
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 14: I ain't gonna say that we might, but you know,

377
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 14: we never knew so long are you?

378
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 12: You started by saying you were starstruck by Snoop? What's

379
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 12: it like for you when people are starstruck by you.

380
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 12: What does that tell you about what your life is becoming?

381
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 12: How do you handle that?

382
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 14: That's a good christ Uh, I don't know. I pretty

383
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 14: much I'm down to earth, so I pretty much be

384
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 14: cool with it, you know, tight hugs, long hugs, crying

385
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 14: and hugs. I'm cool whatever, you know. I love the fans, man,

386
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 14: I love a fans.

387
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 13: John was just talking about. You know, it takes all

388
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 13: the guys in the locker room. H are a lot

389
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 13: of players for you guys to be successful. Curiously, what's

390
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 13: a guy like, a less terrible guy like have a

391
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 13: card for example, you know, meant to you in terms

392
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 13: of half blocking or even you know, if you about

393
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 13: that Detroit per hear that capture trying to a long run?

394
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 13: W what is those sort of role players? I think

395
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 13: that's sort of helpful they for for you.

396
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 14: I don't look at guys like Pattison role player, you

397
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 14: know cause just like you said, he bucking his tail off,

398
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 14: you know we need him catch the pass. He doing that.

399
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 14: He's a part of our eleven mile uh fifty three

400
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 14: man roster, but a eleven guy person there on that field,

401
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 14: so we help us throughout the game, no matter what

402
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 14: the situation is him and whoever else you know who

403
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 14: may be caught a role player who I feel is

404
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 14: a ultimate, you know, just team guy.

405
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham

406
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: Junior also talk with the media about his season so

407
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: far here in Baltimore, his expectations the rest of the way.

408
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: So, go at the team that you won the Super

409
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: Bowl with, how was a gonna feel like?

410
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 7: Doesn't feel like anything.

411
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 19: Nah, it's you know, it's a special bond that U

412
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 19: half with those guys over there, Coop Stafford. You know,

413
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 19: I still could hit a little group chat and you know,

414
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 19: talk some trash to him this week and just it's

415
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 19: just all love and respect. You know mcveigh's been He

416
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 19: kind of was the person who or the whole situation

417
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 19: organization kind of brought me back to loving and having

418
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 19: joy for for football and understanding true professionalism and being prepared.

419
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: And it was just a great.

420
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 19: Experience for me alongside of you know, winning Super Bowl,

421
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 19: but uh, just overall it was one of the best

422
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 19: things that's happened in my life.

423
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 13: How did they do that and how they kind of

424
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 13: carried over there?

425
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 19: I guess for you, Well, starting with there, it just

426
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 19: was something that you know, there's not to be like, Oh,

427
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 19: there's been other situations where I didn't feel prepared the

428
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 19: way that I felt prepared over there, from the way

429
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 19: that they you know, we come in, they come in

430
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 19: for meetings, in the way that they looked at the

431
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 19: film and dissected each player team these players are gonna work.

432
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 19: I just felt prepared going into I think McVeigh does

433
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 19: an incredible job. I remember even the month of November

434
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 19: we they lost. I don't know what to say. We

435
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 19: are they I'm over here now, so you know what

436
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 19: I'm saying, Like, but we at the time that lost

437
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 19: three games in a row and I watched him never waiver.

438
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 19: And you know, I've seen some coaches.

439
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 7: Lose and you see a completely different person.

440
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 19: So that's always been my biggest compliment about him. He

441
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 19: knows for sure publicly I've spoken about him. I have

442
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 19: nothing but the utmost love and respect for him in

443
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 19: that place over there, in those people I've.

444
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 6: Seen with the Rams, they've got two receivers, Cooper Cup

445
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 6: and Cooping the Cord having really good seasons.

446
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 11: You had success over there.

447
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 6: What is it about Sean mcvay's offense that makes it

448
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 6: so wide receiver friendly.

449
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 19: He's just a guru like he was around you know,

450
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 19: the Shanahan's and McDaniels, and you know he's one in

451
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 19: his own.

452
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 7: He he just knows what he's doing. It's hard to explain.

453
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 19: It's a very tough offense to cover a lot of emotions,

454
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 19: a lot of receivers, you know, deceptive things that go on.

455
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 19: So I know our defense has you know, a tough

456
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 19: task in front of them, But I think this is

457
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 19: the right defense for the job.

458
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 18: You know, you talked about sign he win a super Bowl.

459
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: When you back to that, back with this group where

460
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: you're sitting right now, do you feel like this is

461
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: a team that has a special opportunity.

462
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think when you when when we could sit

463
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 19: here today at this point, am you know we're nine

464
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 19: and three and this team's playing the way that they're playing.

465
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 19: It's a lot easier to say it now, But I

466
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 19: feel like before when I was looking at where to

467
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 19: go and who to sign where, then who's gonna have

468
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 19: an opportunity to be here?

469
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 7: This was you know what I envisioned, not.

470
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 19: Knowing that Harbes, you know, runs this place the right way.

471
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 19: Like I just know I always played against the Ravens

472
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 19: and it was always tough.

473
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 7: It was always difficult.

474
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 19: It was a team that you know, was just relentless,

475
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 19: you know, tough football. And you know, sitting here now

476
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 19: at nine and three, definitely you know know that there's

477
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 19: an opportunity.

478
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 7: But it comes with the same thing that we've been doing,

479
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 7: you know, for the first twelve games.

480
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 19: It's just finding ways to win football games, finding ways

481
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 19: to be elite, score points and not allow the other

482
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 19: teams to score points.

483
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 7: But it's definitely a good opportunity.

484
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 17: We have physically, How impactful was the buye for you

485
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 17: just to kind of heal up and feel stronger, And

486
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 17: do you feel like this final stretch that you're in

487
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 17: a really good position to to you know, make your

488
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 17: impact felt again?

489
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean I think it's more you just have

490
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 19: an opportunity. You know, Yeah, your body gets the rest,

491
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 19: But is you know too much rest?

492
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: Good?

493
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 19: Is it too you know? I think it's more of

494
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 19: a mental break. You get to just reset. And to me,

495
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 19: when I was thinking about or looking at the schedule

496
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 19: and seeing that the bye week came at this time

497
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 19: and the way that the season went. It couldn't have

498
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 19: came at a better time. You know, now you're going

499
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 19: into a real season. Five games left that are that

500
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 19: are setting you up to be in the real, real season.

501
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 19: So the bye week was great. I don't think it

502
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 19: could have came at a better time. And it just

503
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 19: you know, allowed you to have some time to breathe

504
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 19: and reset.

505
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 16: I mean, you've talked about You've talked about kind of

506
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 16: happy milestones that you've hit this year. The first game back,

507
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,159
Speaker 16: you know, first touchdown back house. Does this feel like

508
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 16: another little one? You know, going against guys that you

509
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 16: played with, you know, big game in December.

510
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 11: You know you're looking at it to maybe another ship

511
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 11: of all that stuff.

512
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 19: I mean, does it feel like another little It's just

513
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 19: it's just I don't know how to explain.

514
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 7: It's weird.

515
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 19: You know, we're wearing the all purple uniforms. I don't

516
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 19: know if they're wearing the all bone uniforms. And like

517
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 19: last year I was or two years ago, I was

518
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 19: over there and I scored a touchdown and win a game,

519
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 19: and you know, now I'm over here. Hopefully I could

520
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 19: do the same thing and you know, return the favorite

521
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 19: of them. But it's you know, sometimes I have these

522
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 19: days avu moments that go on, you know, mid game,

523
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 19: after you've played for for so long, you've seen so

524
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 19: many things.

525
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 7: It's just a team that I have a lot of

526
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 7: love and respectful.

527
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 19: Obviously I want to super Bowl with them, So it

528
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 19: does feel good to, you know, go against them to

529
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 19: be able to see these guys, you know, I have

530
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 19: a special bond with them, and you know the goal

531
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 19: is obviously to win.

532
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 7: Now on this side.

533
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 11: A moment ago, you use the words real, real season.

534
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 11: I guess we've descotted the postseason.

535
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 9: Did winning a to the Bowl change how you view

536
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 9: the progression of a season? Or is it make you

537
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 9: more impatient to get to.

538
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 11: The playoffs or how does it make you feel?

539
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 19: I just feel like, just like everything in life, like

540
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 19: you can't speed up the process to get anywhere. You know,

541
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 19: life's gonna it's gonna take twenty four hours to get

542
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 19: to tomorrow and then we're gonna you know, it's just

543
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 19: a you just gotta stay in at be where your

544
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 19: feet are at. But I remember my first playoff experience

545
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 19: just being.

546
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 7: You know, it just was bad.

547
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 19: I wasn't ready for the moment, and I was itching

548
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 19: and you know, just dying to get back to having

549
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 19: an opportunity. And when I had the opportunity in LA,

550
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 19: I was more than ready for it. And you know,

551
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 19: like I was saying, the real, real season, it's it's coming,

552
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 19: you know, it's it's gonna be on the way after

553
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 19: five weeks, after handling our business one week at a time,

554
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 19: trying to go want to know, the same thing, same

555
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 19: mentality we've had all year.

556
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 7: I just think that's the approach.

557
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 19: You know, can't It's not gonna get here any faster

558
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 19: if I wanted to, so that uh, you.

559
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 9: Felt always compared with LA and you haven't always felt.

560
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 7: That in other region. What's the preparation itself? And like

561
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 7: you're a Baltimore man, definitely prepared.

562
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 19: You know, uh harps harps on, uh the keys, the

563
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 19: winning football and you know, these are the little things

564
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 19: that if they're talked about in the wrong manner, it

565
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 19: seems you know, negative, like we're always stressing a stressingess.

566
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 19: But he talks about 'em in such a positive way

567
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 19: that you see it come up in a game and

568
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 19: we we're prepared for that, you know, we we know that, Okay,

569
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 19: we need to get down here. We need to clock it.

570
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 19: We need to you know, do all the the little things.

571
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 19: So I definitely feel prepared here. You know, great preparation

572
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 19: leads to us being able to to do what we're doing.

573
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 12: What dos pass.

574
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 11: And you've chosen the Black health uh, Black Women's Health inheritive.

575
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: Is there a particular reason why why?

576
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 18: It's cos.

577
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 7: I don't know it?

578
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 5: J it was.

579
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 19: It's very hard to pick a cause, you know, but

580
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 19: it's just it's something that's dear to my heart. And

581
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 19: I'm still working on the cleats. Different situation with my

582
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 19: cleats that you know, I used to be with and

583
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 19: now I'm you know, trying to make it all up

584
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 19: so hopefully I can put together something good for the cause,

585
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 19: and you know, I want to try and get them

586
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 19: auctioned off or something for a good price or something

587
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 19: like that.

588
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 7: This year.

589
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 12: Lamar was up here earlier and said how he was

590
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 12: starstruck being around Snoop as a guy who probably rolls

591
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 12: deeper than anybody on this team. Are you accustomed to

592
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 12: being in those situations and having people also see you

593
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 12: as the star?

594
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 7: Uh?

595
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 19: To me, it's hard. I think that might be one

596
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 19: of my bigger flaws. I would say is like, sometimes

597
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 19: I don't see myself as what the world could portray me.

598
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 19: At certain moments, I just see myself as you know, O'Dell.

599
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 19: And I know at moments I could be OBJ or

600
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 19: whatever you want to call it, Like I'm just a

601
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 19: It's just how I've always been, how I was raised.

602
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 7: Probably, But you know, I remember a little bit when

603
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 7: I was younger.

604
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 19: And after the catch I'll never forget, Lebron was in

605
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 19: New York and I ended up going to Carbone with him,

606
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 19: and I was like, this is like my idol, idol.

607
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 19: You know, this is the person who I think I'm

608
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 19: a little slew for this because of him. You know,

609
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 19: like I really tried to emulate and watch everything that

610
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 19: he did, so I definitely.

611
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 7: Know what it's like.

612
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 19: But I just feel like now I've been around it

613
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 19: so much that I've just had to be accustomed to

614
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 19: it or used to it.

615
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 7: Even throughout the.

616
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,199
Speaker 4: Season, he brings up winning the school kind of his

617
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 4: focus whinning the Super Bowl walk game.

618
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 11: Does he talk about that?

619
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 4: And you know he talks about that when we talk

620
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 4: about after games with teammates, does he talk.

621
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 11: About does he bring that up a lot?

622
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 18: Yeah?

623
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 19: I mean, but he brings it up in a sense

624
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 19: of when we're talking about a specific route or a detail,

625
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 19: you know, it's like, oh this, we need to do this,

626
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 19: that and the third we need to do that that

627

630
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 19: the way of harping on theose small details because they're

631
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,879

Speaker 15: Thank you?

00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 20: And honestly, man, it means a lot to myself when

659
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 20: I think about it, Like I told a lot of

660
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 20: the guys, you know, like a kid from a very

661
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 20: small town in southwest Georgia, like I told them, population

662
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 20: of a thousand people, no stoplights, anything like that, And

663
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 20: I just know the impact that it has on a

664
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 20: community when, like you know, as kids, there's not a

665
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 20: lot that you look forward to besides just like playing

666
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 20: and then meeting superstars of whatever, influential people that give

667
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 20: back to the community, and just knowing that the impact

668
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 20: that it has, and that's just something that I always

669
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 20: cherished personally, and I think about it from the perspective

670
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 20: of if I'm only known as a really good football

671
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 20: player and that's it, like I sold myself short and

672
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 20: everyone else that's done so much for me in my life.

673
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 20: So I'm just grateful to be in a position and

674
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 20: I'm just grateful to be able to give back.

675
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 15: And you know, I don't give back for awards anything

676
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 15: like that.

677
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 20: A lot of stuff I don't even really care care

678
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 20: to talk about is more so out of the goodness

679
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 20: of my heart, because I truly enjoyed just making kids

680
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 20: families or you know, dose in need, putting a smile

681
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 20: on their face, just like being a good person. That's

682
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 20: something that I cherish and just something I always want

683
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 20: to do with this one life that I have. OK.

684
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 9: I know you just said that you don't do this

685
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 9: for awards, But coming from the Bears and knowing the

686
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 9: stature with Walter Payton, you know what what did that

Speaker 9: and for of being mentioned in alongside you know, his namesake,

689
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 9: What does that specifically.

690
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,560

Speaker 20: and everything he done, he has done and did regardless

694
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 20: if I'm in Chicago or whether I'm here, Like the

695
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 20: impact that he had on the community there in Chicago.

696
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 20: Actually seen his name every day I came to work

697
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 20: in the Walter Payton Center, used to go over there

698
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 20: for practice up Hallis Hall, and then you know, would

699
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 20: see him running out on Lake Michigan with kids, gifting

700
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 20: kids with.

701
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 15: School shoes back to school and things like that.

702
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 20: And they've just showed what type of person he is,

703
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 20: and like what he cared about, and how selfless he was,

704
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 20: and like his family. So I definitely have a great

705
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 20: deal of respect for them and just all the great

706
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 20: things he had done throughout his life. And so I'm

707
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 20: just grateful to be even mentioned by his name, nomination,

708
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 20: or whatever the case may be.

709
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 15: So I definitely take a great deal of respect in it.

710
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 11: You came in midway through last season, fit right in.

711
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 16: All the guys it seems like he brought in late

712
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 16: in the game this year, whether it's Derby or Clowney

713
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 16: or Vannoy.

714
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 11: Fit right in have lifted the defense. Why do you

715
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 11: think those guys have blended as well as they have

716
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 11: And kind of what's the art of doing that?

717
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 16: You know, coming into a situation mission you know a

718
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 16: little bit later, but you know fitting in.

719
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 20: Yeah, man, I just think that credits to the coaching

720
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 20: staff here, the style that we are here, and I

721
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 20: think it just goes to good leadership and just making

722
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 20: everyone feel welcome, welcome to be themselves and not try

723
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 20: to be anything that they're not. And I feel like

724
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 20: if you express that to end of visuals players, especially

725
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 20: when they come in here, making sure they know that

726
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 20: they can don't have to try to act be anything

727
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 20: they don't. I think guys just being themselves and it

728
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 20: makes them play the best version of themselves. And I

729
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,959
Speaker 20: think it's also credit to the coaches for putting us

730
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 20: in the right situation, right positions and getting us are

731
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 20: one on ones and getting us favorable matchups.

732
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: Lamar and O'Dell will talked about chasing a Super Bowl.

733
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 18: How that's obviously the goal for this team.

734
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: With where you guys are sitting at this point in

735
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: nine to three and the group of players that you have,

736
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: best young players, do you feel like this is a

737
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: pretty unique opportunity that you guys have as a team

738
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: to try to achieve that goal.

739
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 20: I definitely think this is a very unique situation on

740
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 20: a very unique team and a lot of veteran leadership

741
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 20: and got a lot of younger guys as well that

742
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 20: are very hungry and like truth be told, going into

743
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 20: each and every year, there's truly only probably eight nine

744
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:50,960
Speaker 20: teams that actually have a chance to compete for a

745
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 20: Super Bowl. And that's on the higher side and just

746
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 20: knowing that we actually have an opportunity to but we

747
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 20: just can't get to the bigger picture. We have to

748
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 20: take it one aim at a time, and we expressed

749
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 20: at each other day in and day out, and it's

750
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 20: just about going one and know for the week and

751
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 20: if we feel as we do that and play to

752
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 20: the best of our ability, disguise the limit.

753
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 15: But we can't get ahead of ourselves.

754
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 20: We've got a great matchup with LA this week, take

755
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 20: care of that and then we just go on from there.

756
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 20: But the big focus right now is just this week.

757
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 13: Perform defensively.

758
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 8: You know yourself, Pile, you know, some of those guys

759
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 8: get a lot, you know, get a lot of attention. Excusy,

760
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 8: how would you describe I guess the impact of there

761
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 8: just some of the less earl of guys who you

762
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 8: know have pep snap could have had impacted.

763
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 13: At moments, whether it's guys in twos or Brian Urban

764
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 13: and lead push it to guys in terms of fitting

765
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 13: into that defensive picture and being in helping defensively.

766
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 18: As good as us.

767
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think honestly it just goes back to each

768
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 20: and every god being selfless and every guy knowing their

769
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 20: role and not trying to be anything that they're not

770
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 20: and not trying to get salty or upset that what

771
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 20: someone else is doing. Just also more happy for the

772
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 20: betterment of the team. And I think that's the mindset

773
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 20: of the guys, Like whoever gets the success, we all

774
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 20: get the success at the end of the day, because

775
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 20: once you do get a ring, we all get one.

776
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 20: You know, once you do win a title conference or whatever,

777
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 20: everyone gets recognition, not just one player. And I think

778
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 20: everyone knows that, and we're just all about the betterment

779
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 20: of the team. And that's basically it clown.

780
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 4: Everyone's kind of I mean, you know, at this point

781
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 4: in the career, I think a lot of people are going,

782
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 4: you know, how much does this guy kind of have left?

783
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 11: You can get a sense when you're playing.

784
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 4: With him that that has been a driving.

785
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 20: Force for him this year Honestly, I don't think he

786
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 20: think about that, Like he thinks about lining up and

787
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 20: kicking the man's butt across from him in a sense,

788
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 20: and like he's been great this year and I'm grateful

789
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 20: to have him as a teammate. I think he has

790
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 20: many years left in the tank the way he go

791
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 20: out and I see some things that he do, Like

792
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 20: people may say he've lost things in there, but I

793
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 20: see it week in and week out, like this guy's

794
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 20: dangers out there and he's could help any team in

795
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 20: his league be better, and he's definitely helping us. So

796
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 20: I think it's a great addition and I'm just grateful

797
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 20: that he's on my team.

798
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 9: Topic, but it's kind of the topic of the week

799
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 9: for you watching the college football playoff seeding.

800
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 11: Live and what was your reaction to Georgia being left

801
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 11: out of you know.

802
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 7: Possibly trying to three people.

803
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 14: Honestly, man, I wasn't watching it live.

804
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 20: I actually probably found out somebody takes me I think,

805
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 20: and was like, dang, it's crazy how they did the dogs.

806
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 20: But at the end of the day, I think about it,

807
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 20: just like Kirby said, like if you say George is

808
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 20: not one of the best four teams, then you're lying

809
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 20: to yourself and like, I don't know what you own,

810
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 20: blue dust or whatever the.

811
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 15: Case may be, but that is what it is.

812
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 20: So you know, I definitely think the Dogs are definitely

813
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 20: one of the four best teams in the land, like

814
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 20: without a question, And if anyone else disagree with that,

815
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 20: it just goes back to opinions. But when you look

816
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 20: at it from top to bottom, for sure, but you

817
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 20: know it's an opinions with that, So hats off those

818
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 20: guys are committee.

819
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 15: I guess that's what they do.

820
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 20: That's their job, not my job, so I'm not too

821
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 20: focused on it, but I definitely think the Dogs should

822
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 20: have been in there.

823
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 15: In my words, you think the.

824
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 5: Rams this weekend staff word didn't have any sad last

825
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 5: week against the Browns, only one the last three games.

826
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 5: I guess we're challenging for you guys to pace the

827
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: Rams and M and T.

828
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,439
Speaker 20: It's a challenge every week you go out there plan

829
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 20: in the NFL because everyone is good. The parod in

830
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 20: this league is very small, so any team can beat

831
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 20: you any given week, and I think that just credits

832
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 20: to their offensive line, like being able to protect him

833
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 20: knowing if Stafford is protected. He can do a lot

834
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 20: of great things with his arm, so definitely gotta get

835
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 20: out of him though. That's our plan, and we're gonna

836
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 20: do everything in our power and we're just gonna make

837
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 20: make sure we come out play our style of defense,

838
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 20: and we feel if we do that, everything else will

839
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 20: take care of yourself.

840
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 11: In a little over a.

841
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 17: Year since you've joined the Ravens, what's it been like

842
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 17: working with this coaching staff that you're talking about in

843
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 17: John Harbaugh in particular.

844
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 20: Honestly, Man, I enjoyed being here so much. A great

845
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 20: place to work, Harps, you know, a great leader from

846
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 20: top then you know more so with Mike dealing with

847
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 20: him every day. I think he's one of most cerebral,

848
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 20: brilliant minds in the game, man. And just like the

849
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 20: way he create matchups, the way he do things day

850
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 20: in and day out, like and create similar pictures and

851
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 20: be something different or be the same thing. So I

852
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 20: think it's it's great, man, and he just knows how

853
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 20: to attack. And I'm just grateful that a minute and

854
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 20: plan for such a brilliant mind on the defensive side,

855
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 20: and also just having you know, Zo in the room.

856
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 20: Former player All Pro Player as well and all the

857
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 20: great things hed done throughout the league. Just having that

858
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 20: constant reminder as well, I think it's great. And being

859
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 20: playing with another baller man is in PQ, so it

860
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 20: makes everything a lot better. And then you know, got

861
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 20: a lot of really good guys around me from the

862
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 20: defensive line to the secondary and as well as the

863
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 20: scout team that's giving us look day in and day out.

864
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 20: So I'm just grateful to be a part of it.

865
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: It looks like the forecast is rainy and ninety seph

866
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: Rayne and to wind. How much do can the elements

867
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 4: really impact a game?

868
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: Do you feel?

869
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 20: I definitely feel like it can impact the game from

870
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 20: an offensive perspective, but from a defensive perspective, Like I

871
00:35:57,920 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 20: say all the time, you can know you can roll

872
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 20: it out out wherever, pavement, trampoline, you want to get

873
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 20: out there and play. You want to do it in

874
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 20: the lake water polos like, hey, we all about it.

875
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 20: We'll go anywhere anytime. We've done it and we don't

876
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 20: mind doing it again. So whatever the case may be,

877
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 20: we'll be ready, I can promise you up.

878
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 1: That was linebacker roku wand Smith in the locker room today.

879
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: We also talk with cornerback Marlin.

880
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 10: For you, it's you know, meeting after meeting, you know,

881
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 10: rep after rep, practice after practice, and then you go

882
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 10: into the game and then you're ready to go. So

883
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 10: we're kind of just looking for it to Sunday, winning

884
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 10: that game and just continue to control we can control.

885
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 9: Kyle Willmers this year, and he doesn't really seem all

886
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 9: that surprised by it.

887
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 7: I know you've been close.

888
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 10: Since he got here to baltimoreand what he kind of

889
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 10: kind of sticks out to you, doubt is confidence in

890
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 10: the way that he goes about just pursuing new things.

891
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 10: I think the probably the most interesting thing about Coline.

892
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 10: He's a how he walks around here is now who

893
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 10: he is on Sunday. He's a really cool guy, cool

894
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 10: to hang out with. You would think he plays the

895
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 10: way he uh he acts. So that's a really cool

896
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 10: thing to see him turn that that switch on and

897
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 10: off every Sunday and just become like a he's like

898
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 10: a he's like a bully. He's like a bully out there,

899
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 10: uh with the stuff he does. So it's really good

900
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 10: to see him emerge. I I guess, I mean, I

901
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 10: think everybody always saw it, even Edec From the day

902
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 10: he was seemed like he was just so excited, not

903
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 10: thinking he was gonna be able to draft him, and

904
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 10: then draft day came he was able to get him.

905
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 10: So I don't think anyone's too surprised. I mean, the

906
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 10: guys six or four can play literally any position on defense,

907
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 10: it seems like, so nobody's too surprised. But it's really

908
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 10: good to see him, you know, flourishing Marland.

909
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 11: Weather it could be a factor on Sunday.

910
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 13: How does like, you know, rain and win like they're

911
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 13: calling for, how does that affect you, know what you.

912
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,240
Speaker 15: Do out there on Sundays?

913
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 16: And and also like as defensive player, do you embrace

914
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 16: like a weather game like that this late in the season.

915
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 10: Me personally, I wanna play it in a game where

916
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 10: it's ten inches of snow cause then they don't have

917
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 10: to throw and I just get the tackles. So the

918
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 10: the the worst of the weather, the more fun for me.

919
00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 10: It's a lot more fun er to the to defend

920
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 10: the run instead of you know, trying to defend the past.

921
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: So I think I don't.

922
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 10: Really know the weather, but if it's rain and snow

923
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 10: and it doesn't really affect me, too much, but if anything,

924
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 10: it enhances me. Hopefully the ball will be on the

925
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 10: ground for their team and not our team and we get.

926
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 15: The job done. Pants.
