WEBVTT - Ravens Mandatory Minicamp Day 3 Press Conferences 0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:06.720 Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens completed 0:00:06.760 --> 0:00:10.360 their last day of mandatory mini camp and after practice, 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.080 we had the chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh, 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:18.800 cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey and Rocky Scene, and right guard Kevin Zeitler. First, 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.720 let's start things off with head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:25.000 Okay, great seeing everybody here. Thank you for being here 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.760 the whole mini camp and throughout the off season. We 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:32.280 sure appreciate it, and it's been very productive. Spirits have 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.720 been high, you know, body mind, spirit. Guys have been 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.800 doing a great job trying to take care of themselves 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.040 in every single kind of way, be the best player 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.159 that can, be the best teammate they can be, and 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.400 that's what we try to strive for. So this is 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.640 the end of this part of it and then we'll 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:48.839 start the next part of it when the guys get back, 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.639 and this interim time is some time that they need 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.000 to kind of, like Marlin talked about to the guys 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.520 right now, think about what you want to accomplish this year, 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.040 you know, and what you need, whatever it might be. 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.160 And everybody's got somewhat of a different motivation and whatever 0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:03.400 that thing is think about it and think about how 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:04.920 you're gonna get accomplished. And I thought that was a 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.440 great message to everybody going forward. So what questions you have? 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:10.399 I mean, you just mentioned about mortals. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:11.880 Did you have any particular message? 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:18.360 I did, I did, I did, may not say you 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:20.960 the main one, now I remember it was brilliant by 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.280 the way. No, I just said, preparation pays off. You know, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.720 we rep what we sew and let's make the most 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:28.040 of the next few weeks and be gare to roll. 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:31.039 I did say the days are long, the years are short, 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:33.479 the weeks are even shorter, and the days are even 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.400 gonna be short as it gets close to camp. So 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.360 the time is coming. Let's roll. John. 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.400 We haven't seen JK out there the last three years. 0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.280 Do you have any of the job there out there? 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.800 I really don't know. I expected JK to practice and 0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:47.280 it just it wasn't in the cards apparently, So we'll 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.960 just get ready for training camp. Tell me over the. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:53.040 Course of the three involved that at the minus sum 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.960 you've hear that as a plus for the defense minus 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.240 from the offense and offensively, how do. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:58.720 You change that? 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.840 Yeah? You try, And I mean that's a little bit 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:02.560 of a dilemma because we're not in pad. So the 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.520 offensive line can't do what they would do to keep 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.760 those hands down because it's a non contact thing. So 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.000 in a lot of ways, the offense has big advantages 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.359 because the defense isn't contesting any passes. So you see 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.600 a lot of passes completed that the defense would contest 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.079 in a regular environment. This is when that goes to 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.640 the defense because the offense can't do what they've got 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.400 to do to block those guys to get their hands down. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:23.160 So and I don't want to keep the hands down 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.160 because I want guys to practice batting the ball down. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.240 I think that's a learned trait and it's a reaction. 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.320 So we go ahead and let them do it, and 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.440 then help me figure. We put the ankle weights on 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.480 the quarterback in the sense that you've got to learn 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.120 to throw through those hands with the ankle weights on, 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.079 you know, six weeks at camp and need to pitch 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.360 the part serves. 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:43.359 J. 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:50.120 Housers. Don't have any issue with JK. He should be ready, 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:55.680 Tyas should be ready. Riccard won't be ready to start. 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.320 He'll be on pop to start, but he should be 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.440 ready shortly there after he's said he had hip surgery, 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.440 So there's a certain timeline to that one. And uh 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.160 Jalen Armor Davis should be ready to roll. That's the 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.520 ones I can think of off the top of my head. 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:12.519 He just came back. His knee kind of kind of 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.519 bothered him a little bit. He was ready to go. 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.920 He's rehabbing full speed, and then when he came back 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.680 his knee kind of flared up for some reason. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:22.320 Johnny JK and Gus not being on the field this spring, 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.040 Justice Hill seemed like it took all the reps with 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.080 its starting of offense. 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.560 How do you think he How pleased were you to 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.080 get him back to figured out he did? He did 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.880 a good job. I mean he u all those reps 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:35.360 helped him. I think he was looking uh I you know, 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.480 repetition is the name of the game, you know, opportunity 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.840 to get better. You know, you you get better, you 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.400 get worse. It takes one hundred percent effort to get 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.400 one percent better. You're gonna say, well, he's throwing all 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.600 these cloches out, Yeah, but they're cliches for a reason. 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.440 There's truth involved. Some of these are self evident truths, 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.200 you know, and uh. I think I think Justice made 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.200 the most of it. John Longosa Lines. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.520 Who saw the rookie of all over It would take 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.000 a lot of first team reps at left guard. No 0:03:58.040 --> 0:03:59.840 one's heart to judge without the pass, but as he 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.800 himself in the position to compete for the. 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.920 Starting job coming, he has childs, he has, he has 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:06.720 done a great job, and he's in the mix right now. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.000 I'd say he saw him with the first team. We 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.040 wanted to get a looked at him in there and 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.360 see how it looked with him in there. One thing 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.120 we always try to do, and I think this is 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.240 a little bit rare, but we want to see what 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.120 guys look like with the first group. You know, what 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.160 does it look like? I can you can speculate all 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:20.960 you want. If they start doing a good job with 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.080 a second group or the third group and you feel 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:24.680 like they are up to it, you know, I want 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.960 to see how that fits and it looks like it 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:27.599 fit well. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.240 John, how close is kind of what you had heard 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.720 about Todd before you hired. It is what you had 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.800 seen here, including your sister's scoutgy. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.000 Yeah, yeah, you know, it's a man. There's nothing like 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:44.320 the real thing, right and seeing Todd in real life 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.680 is is even better than reports. I would say, you know, 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.160 he's he's he's a very good teacher. You know, he 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.080 does it in a very energetic kind of way, the 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.920 way that we love to see around here. You know, uh, 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.360 he's just very relatable. He's also you know, a very 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.760 detailed coach, especially in the passing game, but not just that, 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.040 you know, the protection, the run game, the quarterback, reads everything. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.080 He's very involved, very hands on. You know, our coaches 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.880 over the years have all been like that. I think 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.640 Todd Junique in his way of doing it. You guys 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.800 get a chance to see it. You know, how can 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.000 I describe it? You guys just watch it. What you 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.160 see out there is what what the what? He is 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.080 all the time. You know, that's his personality, and I 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:22.720 think it's a great way to reach guys. Gon he is. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.440 I think it was a couple of weeks ago to 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.440 Ota l Mar said, in this offensive tools, you're going 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.720 to throw the ball more. And of course everyone's going on, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:31.480 what's that going to look like? 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:31.680 Now? 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.160 You know what, how do you envision that? 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.080 I mean, do you feel that this is an offense 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.600 where you are going to throw the ball a little 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.119 bit more and maybe how money works. 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.280 I mean, you know, it's it's like, it's not a comparison, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.680 it's it's a comparison question what you're asking me, And 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.440 you know it is it is very well veiled, you know. 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:48.160 And and you know you do what you got to 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.440 do from year to year, from game to game based 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:51.680 on what you need to try to do to win 0:05:51.720 --> 0:05:54.720 the game. Which way We've always looked at it, whether 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.360 it was last year, it's specially towards the end of 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.839 the year. You know, what was done was done because 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.760 if it gave us the best chance to win in 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:02.640 our eyes, and we were playing pretty good football, you know, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.160 right there at the end. So but this is this 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.280 is the new year. We have new players, you know, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.600 we have new opportunity, we have a new system. We 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.640 put a whole new system in. I like the system 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:12.840 because I like the temple of it. I like the 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:15.040 way it communicates, the way it operates, and I think 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.760 within that system, we're gonna be able to do whatever 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.400 we need to do. So we're gonna be able to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.320 run the ball. You know, We're gonna be physical, for sure, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:21.920 that's gonna be part of it. But we're gonna be 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.599 able to throw the ball too. And then as far 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.960 as Lamar's six thousand yard thing, you know, I heard 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.880 that quote. You know, I was there. I know what 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.960 he meant. You know, he was saying, basically, how many 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:33.880 yards you gonna throw for? Whatever the question was, He's 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.160 basically saying, how about six thousand? You know you want 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.000 a number, And he was really saying it was, it 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.320 doesn't matter how many yards we throw for. We could 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.160 throw for ten thousand yards. But the point is we're 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.920 gonna try to win the game. Someone's gonna misconstrue that 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.080 someone's gonna misconstrue that we could throw for two thousand. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.440 Who cares? Who cares? Nobody cares. You know, what we 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:53.000 care about is what we need to do to win 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.760 the game, play winning football, winning offense. And I know 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.559 that's what Lamar was saying, which he tried to explain 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.080 yesterday again, and I'm sure those who were listening, you know, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:03.320 they understood it. So but thanks, thanks for the opportunity. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.680 That's okay, I'm just sweetening out that. 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:20.480 Media job with the Progers. You've seen them, Yeah, great question. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.360 You know all those pass rushers for sure, Dafe and 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.600 a job, you kind of put them together. But uh, 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:27.600 David has done great. He looks great to me. I 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.520 told him today. I just I'm really excited to see 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:31.440 him and when the pads come on, see what you 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.600 can do. Those guys. We've definitely been holding those guys back. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.480 I mean, you know, it's it's not a pass it's 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.800 a pass rushing technique camp. But you know, we're staying 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.760 with the quarterback and we will be in training camp too, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.320 but we will have one on ones and things like that. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.480 I can't wait to see those guys roll, you know 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.800 for the games. You know, preseason games are gonna take 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.200 on a big time added interest watching those guys rush 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:48.640 the passer. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.000 John said at the end of the season day, I 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.800 think you mentioned about revamping the wide receiver from a 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:54.200 little bit. 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:56.760 Did you envision I mean, he's have like five for 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.120 more first round picks. Now, this is exactly what we 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.760 had in mind. Of course, you know, I envisioned us 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.120 doing the best we could and uh and ignoring much 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.520 of the media reports that you know, receivers didn't want 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.360 to come here and all that all that nonsense, you know, Uh, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.520 and that's uh, and that's what you do. You know, 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.800 because I feel like this is a great destination for 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.800 any player all the time, especially guys that love football. Now, 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.920 if you don't like football and you don't like to practice, 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.520 you like to lift weights, you don't like meetings, you know, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.840 it's not your thing, then you definitely don't want to 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.560 come to Baltimore. But if you like football, you love football, 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.400 you know, and you like to compete. You're tough, and 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.040 you're you're smart, and uh you like to be a 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:35.319 good teammate, this is definitely the place for you. And 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.720 those guys saw that, you know, and now we got 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.120 to go get good. I mean, okay, how good are we? 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.920 We're as good as we play. And that's the next step. 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.920 I'm wondering, John, do you embrace the attention you can't 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.640 walk go past the TV in the morning where you 0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:51.400 have to do enough to blog on the ravens? Do 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.400 you tell your players don't look at. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:56.480 That or it's there? It's you know, do you jerry 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.000 kids not to look at TV and social media? 0:08:59.120 --> 0:08:59.240 Right? 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.520 I mean, are gonna look at it? Your to your point? 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.320 So the answer is no. I think it's a great question, 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.040 and uh I I I think our guys understand, you 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:09.280 know what it means to be a professional. And I 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:10.480 mean there's a lot of things that are said that 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.600 aren't positive either, you know, and you're not gonna live 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:16.679 in that world either. So I I think we focus 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.640 on being as as good of a football team and 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.839 and and get our execution to where it needs to be, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:22.440 then go out there and let it rip on game 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:28.079 day and and see what happens. And Stanley's just no, no, 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.240 they had they had issues of uh Odell, I think 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.120 you got a whole some bad fish or something yesterday 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.439 and he was very sick and uh uh Ronnie just 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:39.959 is uh he got stepped on and I think he 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:41.839 wanted to. It was Ronnie's choice, you know, just to 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.599 play it safe a little bit, and I I was 0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:44.079 fine with that. 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:48.040 I know what, maybe very premature. You kind of looted 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.520 that we may see guys like a jaga in the preseason. 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.600 We didn't see any starters in the preseason last year. 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.000 He thought him, Did we not play a job on 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:56.960 the preseason last year? You know, you got a short memory. 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:01.760 I'm a whole corner right goldfish. He wasn't oh job, well, 0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:03.920 I was thinking of Dae. Did we see a DAFE 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:09.360 last year. We did, we did pass rushes, we did okay, Yeah, 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.160 thank you. He did play okay. So with that context, 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.800 because you were kind of taking the context in another direction, I. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:17.920 Don't even know if you thought about it. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.160 What have you thought about how you want to handle Well, 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:21.920 those two guys are going to get out there. Yeah, 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:22.679 they'll get out there. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.040 John did the limited snaps of some of those top 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.400 line receivers. You think that's gonna get your way of 0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.800 evaluation of this passing games, But haven't leave. 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.160 I would say we're not evaluating yet. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:34.559 You know. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.199 You know, Zay had so soft tissue thigue he was 0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.760 fighting through for the last couple of weeks. That's not 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.600 unexpected for rookies that come in and do a lot 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.280 of running, although he is in great shape. So we're 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:44.680 gonna have a We're gonna have a lot of bodies 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:48.280 in here, all competitive guys fighting for either thoughts in 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.800 the team or practice squad spots. So as long as 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.040 our numbers stay high, it won't be a problem. I 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.439 do want to see all the starters out there in 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.880 training camp. Obviously, we need that. They need to be 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.880 out there practicing. Uh and you know, when they're not, 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.240 that's that's something you have to overcome. So hopefully they'll 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.439 all be out there and be rolling the whole time. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.559 Question you know, well, the last time we see you 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.560 for training camp, you know, ceculation, that was what possible 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:12.199 addition you got to go? 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:13.080 I'm sure you got. 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.480 As an ongoing dialogue with Eric, I guess just kind 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.200 of where you think this rosser stands and old. 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.360 Bad boys might be afford. I mean to me, the 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.280 roster is good enough to go play, you know, with 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.079 no changes, and uh it's it's never so good that 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:28.280 it can't be improved, you know. So, uh well, if 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.360 there's an opportunity, I'm sure that we'll and because that's 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.800 how Eric thinks, we'll make the most of it. All right, Thanks, guys. 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:40.120 You're listening to the Ravens Press Past podcast. That was 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.520 head coach John Harbaugh talking to the media after practice. 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.520 We also got the chance to hear from cornerback Marlin 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.040 Humphrey and here he is. 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.760 Now team out there. Can you just kind of share 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.400 and what kind of motivated you to deliver that message? 0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:59.920 Actually, we'll motivate it. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:01.760 Uh Me and Lamar were talking in the training room 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:05.760 the other day, but just talking about you know, a 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.360 quick message, just you know, I think to win a 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:09.679 super Bowl, you know, you gotta put a lot of 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.000 time and effort in. And I think, you know, while 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.160 we we got in some good work OTA's Mini camp, 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:16.480 you got this big break. Whether it's you want to 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:17.960 hang out with your dog a lot, wanna hang out 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.360 with your girl a lot, wanna hang out with this 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:20.880 try to do as much as that as you can, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.280 cause when we come back, we want everybody to be 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.959 putting as much time in the football as you can. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.880 You know, the off seasons are long, plenty of time, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.120 but when you you don't these days, these practices, you know, 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:33.360 being in the NFL, it's a it's a very short 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.480 span compared to the rest of your life. So I 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:36.959 know that's one of the things that I plan on, 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.520 you know, making different different in this season, putting as 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.160 much time as I can than I than I ever 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.200 had before. So you know, I think we can all 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.320 echo that be on the same you know one accord, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:48.640 I think special things can happen with this team. 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.560 Going alone with that, it seems like your team, uh 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:54.520 just your vocal leadership. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.520 Is this what you envisioned when you were a wide 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.719 having ownership takes leadership over the team. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.600 It's it's definitely come full circle. When I first got here, 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.599 I mean I just had you know, SiZ, you know, 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.839 we or beat car Jimmy. I honestly didn't see it 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.560 then because there was just so many guys that were 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:18.800 those leaders for me that I still, you know, you know, 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.000 look up to guys that just put so much in 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.840 my ear. But it was, you know, the last year 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.240 or two, you know, you start realizing you're telling stories 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.000 and nobody else was here other than you, so uh, 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.000 you know, it's you kind of you know, you feel 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.400 like a young guy, and then you realize you're not 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.600 a young guy. Yeah, guys coming up. Man, I watched 0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:42.040 you in high school and I'm like, okay, like what 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.280 do you what are you trying to say? So you 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:46.280 kind of just realize, you know, it's kind of your 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:48.320 time to do that now. And you know, I think 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.360 you know that being here for for so long and 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:53.360 you know, getting a second deal, I think that was 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.200 something that kind of was the unwritten thing that they 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.920 expected me to do. And I think it's a challenge 0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:01.800 of times, but with these it's a challenge with these 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.640 young guys sometimes, but it's, uh, you know, it's it's 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.360 kind of my duty to to do that, and so 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:08.440 I just try to do the best I can. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:13.560 You're about the offense and codd long getting from your 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:14.880 perspective is how do. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:15.920 You think it's coming along? 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.360 What have you seen from and how encouraged are you 0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.880 lining up against it in the last couple of weeks. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:21.840 That looks good. 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.720 You know, it's we it's been We've had a year 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.720 or two to me to where on paper, you know, 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.560 we look scary. I think the product we put out, 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:33.400 you know that that that's really all that really matters. 0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:36.480 But on paper, man, we look very scary. 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:37.080 And that's uh. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.360 I know when I go into the season, you know, 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.640 obviously before the season even starts, you look at everybody 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.600 you play, You're like, Okay, they've got a core, they've 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.000 got a core, they've got this, they've got this. 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.040 And then we're we're one of those teams. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.640 So the only thing I feel for us, you know, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.240 we got the pieces, it's just putting them together, working together, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.840 figuring out how it works, you know, putting out a product. 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.760 You know, I think it's it's really easy to talk 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.320 about all the great receivers, we got all the great 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:02.000 running backs, we got all the great dbs, we got 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.880 the good d line. But I think this is a 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:05.720 year of just proving it. 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:05.960 You know. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.920 You know, Lamar gets a big contract, Let's prove it. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:10.520 I'll get a big contrat. Let's prove Roquond gets a 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:12.480 big count, Let's prove it. So I think, you know, 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.240 we got a lot of good players, But to me, 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:16.600 I just wanna prove it. 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.840 Oh, obviously, Obj's one of the bigger names that's been 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:20.680 added to this ross. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.320 If you guys have had back going. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.360 Up against each other, and gage's it been like to 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.120 go up against. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.760 Them their practice, Uh, it's been good, you know. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.480 Uh uh meeting him in the off season actually uh 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.960 at uh Givonte Davis's fight meeting him then and then 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.320 you know, Uh, anytime I meet a guy that just 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.160 signed our team, in the first conversation you have is 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:40.760 about a Super Bowl is uh is a really good 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:41.120 thing to me? 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:41.520 You know it. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:43.240 I know his mind's right. 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.560 I've been talking to him as he's been training up 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.720 there with say quant and everything, So I know his 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:49.280 mind's right. 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:49.480 I know. 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.240 And we come back, Uh, we're all gonna be just 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.080 ready to go training camp, get the battles going.
