So it's not 164 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: trash talking about That was a difference between you know, 165 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: disagreeing and trash talking. To an extent, A lot of 166 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: them are like very sarcastic, not snooty, but just sarcastic, 167 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: funny jokes. You know that kind of can be taken 168 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: seriously if that's the kind of mooter in or you know, 169 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: you can understand them as jokes which are like Ronnie 170 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: are all sarcastic, nasty jokes back and forth to me 171 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: and him, Like Ronnie and I think Ronnie and I 172 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: are like opposite sides of the spectrum in terms of 173 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: some things in the football world. So it's like we 174 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: just I love being around him, but it's like we're brothers. 175 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: We literally just don't have really we we don't agree 176 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: all the time. We rarely do agree, so like we're 177 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: always arguing in a funny like brotherhood stance. I mean, 178 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: it's just like I like when he's in there because 179 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: it's something to get into how I feel. Yeah, have 180 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: you guys been been rehabbing together a fair amount. Yeah. 181 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: I mean I'm always in there earlier than him. I'm 182 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: always working harder than him, more effort than him. So 183 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: he knows that, and that's where I see, Like, you know, 184 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: I'll say, you know why why you were rolling in later, 185 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: you're not getting up early, and he's like, well, then 186 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: he goes after me, and then I tell him why 187 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: I have responsibilities at home with kids and stuff and 188 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: you have nothing. And then he comes back at me 189 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 1: like he has dogs. And then it's just I'm doing 190 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: the right thing, you know, And we just go back 191 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: and forth all the time. But it's a it's a health, good, 192 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: healthy bicker and you know what I mean, it's not toxic. Now. 193 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I see why you get so excited when guys come in, 194 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 1: like during the course of the off season. So it's 195 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: not just you and Ronnie yelling at Oh yeah, it's 196 00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: it's great. Pat. Wasn't there? Not Pat? But I mean, 197 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: like everyone is just it's just great to see like 198 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: packing back for a little bit to just work out, 199 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: and to have him back, someone of my own position 200 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: group was awesome, you know. For him to work out 201 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 1: and go back is like all Pats here, someone I 202 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: could really relate to. And then I still talk trash 203 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: to Pat though, so so I think I think, you know, 204 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: the big question for you right now is kind of 205 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: how how soon can we see you back on the field. 206 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: And I know you're we're not going to get into 207 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: too deeper specifics, but generally speaking, what do you think 208 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: you're going to get back? Yeah? I mean, like, that's 209 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: a tough question, this being through my first knee injury, 210 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, um, And so for that, I can't really say, 211 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: you know, whether I'm you know when that's gonna exactly be. Um. 212 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: But all I can control is really working hard every 213 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: day and rehabing it to where I need to be, 214 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, And that's where when I'm ready, 215 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to be back out there. And you know, 216 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: if it's not right away or it is right away, 217 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: just know that you know, I'm still putting in my 218 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: effort every single day to get back out there as 219 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: fast as I can. Nice has the rehab been? Like 220 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting you said you have way 221 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: more respect for people who get injured and have to 222 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: come back from that. It sounds to me like as 223 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: you've gone through this process, there's just been I'm guessing, 224 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: like hurdles and challenges along the way that like you 225 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: probably didn't even think about, Like tell me about that 226 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. Well, first off, like going through like 227 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: a major surgery, like getting hurt. When I got hurt, 228 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, mind was just really numb, 229 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: like but it didn't really hurt that bad. But I couldn't. 230 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it. When they were carting you off 231 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: the field, It's like pouring down writing in New England, 232 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: and I'm like that injury looked bad, and then your 233 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: face you're just like yeah, rain man, Like you look 234 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: more upset about the rain than you did the injury. 235 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 1: I was like, what is going through this guy's head? Yeah, 236 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 1: it didn't really hurt that bad. I mean like as 237 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: soon as I called the bond turned, I felt my 238 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: need go backwards and like super tingly super numb. I 239 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: could kind of feeling my stungf I have to go 240 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: back to that situation. But what the real the grunt 241 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: of this was was going through surgery. And I woke 242 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: up through surgery. I was like so mean. I feel 243 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 1: bad for the nurses because I was just so much pain. 244 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: I was like throwing crap. My wife was saying I 245 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: was throwing crackers at the nurses, just being not nice 246 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: because I was just like, man, it feels like there's 247 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: a chainsaw going right into my leg in this bone 248 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: just aching. And I stayed. I stayed there in Texas 249 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 1: and Surgical Center probably for about I don't know, seven days. 250 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: They wanted me to get out of there in like 251 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: two days, and I'm like, not, like, I can't leave 252 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: like this. This is miserable, you know, with the pain wise, 253 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: and so that was rough, and then going home and 254 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: not being able to walk and being on crutches. Like 255 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: my son who's a year old, didn't want to mess 256 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: with me because I can't fight with them anymore. So like, 257 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: you know, if you want to come with Daddy and 258 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: set in a couch like, he doesn't want to do that. 259 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: He's like, So that's tough from an aspect being at home. 260 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 1: But you know what I really saw goals and just 261 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: moments of joys when like little things came back, like 262 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: I started to walk again, I was able to just 263 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 1: do certain things that are normal and then just keep 264 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: getting better and better. And you know, those are the 265 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: the highlights of you know, injuries, of when you come 266 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:07,839 Speaker 1: back and you start feeling like yourself and you see 267 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: improvements and all that work is getting better and now 268 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: I'm not having pain with this and I'm getting better 269 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: and I can start running and start cutting all those things. 270 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: Those make that you know, all that pain kind of 271 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: worth it. Right. So this past weekend, I was playing 272 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: some slow pitch softball, and I went to accelerate down 273 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: the first baseline and pop my handy pretty good, right, 274 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: and I crumpled to the ground. I was like, I'm done. 275 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: I'm done, just throwing the flag, like I put myself 276 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: out of the game. Verge of tears. You know, sorry, 277 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't that close. But I'm telling you rage, do 278 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: you care about saying what's your range? Mym what thirty 279 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: six seven seven? Still popping handy's? I mean, what how 280 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: bad did it hurt? It look pretty bad. I'm telling 281 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: you this is a bad one. I mean, I guess 282 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: that hurts. I mean, pain is different for everybody. Tell 283 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: my sister, my one sister is like if I picture 284 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: she actually she dies. The way you tolerate pain is 285 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: just ridiculous. You know, everyone tolerates it differently. So right, 286 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: That's what like I was when I saw you getting 287 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: carted off the field, I was like, this dude is 288 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: a warrior, Like that was the image of a warrior. 289 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: Get I just couldn't believe it. Yeah, but it was 290 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: more nub. I couldn't really feel anything and all. Just 291 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: my knee was like stuck in the turf and backwards 292 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: right right, I just knew I couldn't get up going 293 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: through my head, So so how do you kind of 294 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: look at it? You know, obviously it hurts to just 295 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: miss the rest of the season, you know, and you 296 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: want to be back out there this year to kind 297 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: of help this this team get over you know, the 298 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: hump gets the deeper in the playoffs and all that 299 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: as much stuff. You know, what's your mindset like about that, 300 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: about just kind of returning to the team and helping 301 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: me get this offense to the next level. Yeah, um, 302 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: I mean that's everything. That's why you do all the rehab, 303 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 1: That's why you really want to get healthy and ultimately 304 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: get back out there. When you're out there, you obviously 305 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: think as a player who holds value, you can help 306 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: the team win. And you know, that's that's a huge 307 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: thing for me, and especially being hurt and sitting to 308 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 1: those games at home, sitting on the couch and watching those, Man, 309 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: those were tough and I almost felt more nervous, more 310 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: anxious to watch them from the couch, and I do 311 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: actually sitting on the bench and playing in the games 312 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: was kind of weird, and uh, you know, that's that 313 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: was tough for me to watch, to watch my team, 314 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: but obviously supporting him in every way. It's just hard. 315 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: And you know, like I said, and then watching them 316 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: from from from the couch, my wife would watch him 317 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: with me and I wouldn't say a word, and she's like, 318 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: what's wrong, Like are you angry at me? I'm like not, 319 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: like I just wouldn't talk. I don't know. I just 320 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: got in this funky mood. And you know that's all 321 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: because of how bad you realize when something's not there 322 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: that you're used to taking part in. You know how 323 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: much it really hurts you as a player. And so, 324 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: like I said, all this rehab, all trying to get 325 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: back out there as fast like Ken, doing everything kind 326 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: every day to get back out there's huge. And then 327 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: you're you're just out there with with your teammates like 328 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: in between periods, like you know, having fun with all 329 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: the tight ends and just being out there and mingling. 330 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, those are the things you're you're not around 331 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: as much and that you really truly miss. I remember 332 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: talking to Joe Flacco about this point, and when you 333 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: were talking about this, it kind of made me think 334 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: of this, like when you get hurt and you're not 335 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: practicing every day and you're not playing in the games, 336 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: Like you're still part of the team obviously, but like 337 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: is it hard because you almost feel like disassociated like 338 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, Like is that part of like 339 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: the uh, the challenge. Obviously there's a physical challenge that 340 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: we just talked about, but like I feel like that's 341 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: part of the mental challenge that doesn't really get discussed 342 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, for sure, Like you you you don't 343 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: really have an effect on the game, you know what 344 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, You don't have an effect of the game plan. 345 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: Like you can go to the meeting to be a 346 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: part of it, but you really know you're not going 347 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: to partake and be there out on the field with 348 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: the guys. So you know, Like, like you said, that's 349 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: a mental hurdle you have to get over and understand 350 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: where you're at that current moment of time and then 351 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: where you're gonna be in what you're working to to 352 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: get there. Um, like you said, it's tough. Like it's 353 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: just tough. Like when I would come back to after 354 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: my surgery and come back and start doing training room stuff, 355 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, after I was done, I'd crutch around the 356 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: locker room. I'd see everyone a man that was just 357 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: like such an awesome feeling, you know, just seeing everyone 358 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: back in the locker room and just messing with everyone. 359 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: So like, those are the moments that are awesome. But 360 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: like just not being on the field and not contributing 361 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: is really tough too, And you just really have to 362 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: understand as a player that you know that time will 363 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 1: come back, you know, as long as you put in 364 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: the work in the off season, as long as you 365 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: try as hard as you come to get back out there. 366 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 1: What had to feel good, you know, despite coming off 367 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: a major knee injury, when the Ravens signed you to 368 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: a two year contract extension, you know, that had to 369 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: be a bright day on this. All right, give it 370 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: to me, hit me. Yeah, so all right, so this 371 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: is a funny one. So well that was was it 372 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 1: the day I signed it or the day I don't 373 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: know whether it became public or something, so anyway, yeah, 374 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: but I'm going besides the story, getting signed was a 375 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: was an awesome feeling knowing that, you know, this organization 376 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: is obviously first class, and you know they still stand 377 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: behind their players even when they're not their best times, 378 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, when they're hurting down, And that was something 379 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: that really took to mind and for me and my 380 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: family to just to be in Baltimore, you know, try 381 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: to be here for my whole career. You know. I 382 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: think that's something special. On the show, like they said, 383 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: like they support me and they're like, hey, man, I 384 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,399 Speaker 1: know you're gonna get back to this injury and go 385 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,440 Speaker 1: back out there and be a player again. It meant 386 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: a lot to me also on the other hand, so 387 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: like this is like when it just came public, I 388 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: think my son wasn't taking a nap. So we're me 389 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 1: and my wife are like, all right, let's just go 390 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: drive them around, right, like okay. So we're driving around. 391 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: I'm on my phone, Like she's driving. I'm on my 392 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 1: phone just checking the stuff because like you know, you 393 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 1: get text messages and stuff, sell some media stuff and whatnot. 394 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: So he's sleeping, and then we finally come back home 395 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: and she's like, oh, like you just want to go 396 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: get the nail, like all right, So she pulls up 397 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: right next to the mailbox, like I'm in the passenger seat. 398 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: I'm like all right, So I get the mail out, 399 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: and so she like she just thinks she could turn 400 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 1: right into the driveway on that angle so she takes 401 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 1: the whole mailbox out, but the mailbox post was only plastic. 402 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: So like, we're here's the car, here's the mailbox. She 403 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: starts turn. I'm like no, no, no, stop, stop, stop, 404 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: and she keeps going and so scraped the whole side 405 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: of the car. Pop and shutter, and I'm like, oh 406 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: my god, happy moments. Just got me really pissed for 407 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: like next ten minutes. And obviously I wasn't very sympathetic 408 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: at that point, which I'm sorry for. But you know, 409 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: she's a great driver. But that's just a funny story. 410 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,119 Speaker 1: I think about resigning my extension, you know, my wife 411 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: just not really knowing uh you know, the space around 412 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: the car and just taking up the mailbox, not knowing 413 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: really how to drive. You can say you're in a 414 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: safe space, and there's never a safe space. Well you 415 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 1: know you get that signing bonus. Oh yeah, we actually 416 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: haven't fix the car. There's I'm marked there and we 417 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: had to get a new mailbox and replace that. But 418 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: I didn't you know, they'll probably be more car errors 419 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: based on that one. So now that's a man after 420 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: my own heart. Yeah, you know, but for the front bumper, 421 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: it's half off, it's still hanging on you. That's the 422 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: chance to be back into something else. Exactly is it? 423 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,639 Speaker 1: Is it uh? Hard? I mean maybe it's hardly amazed 424 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: not but like the fact that you are a guy 425 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: you just talked about like you want to play your 426 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: whole career here and it's like you were a fifth 427 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: round pick out of Delaware, like career was a little 428 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: rocket to get going, and then you end up like 429 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: being at this point where you're like one of the 430 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: established veterans getting the extensions like team leader, team leader, 431 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: trash talking in the locker room, like a well respected guy. 432 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: Like when you got hurt, there was just a lot 433 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: of outpouring of support from your teammates that I thought 434 00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: was spoke to the way that you're respected in that 435 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: and fans and faith. It was beyond teammates. Is everybody 436 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: like just like to me, it just like speaking like 437 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: it's speaks to your your level of work, ethic and 438 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: all of that. But like, I don't think there's a 439 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: lot of people that the expected that going all the 440 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: way back to when you were drafted, and the fact 441 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: that you were able to achieve that I think says 442 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 1: a lot about you. Yeah, I mean, it says a 443 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: lot about me, but also says a lot about you know, 444 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: the organization I work for. Like you said, starting off 445 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: a little rocky, my rookie, you're playing well, but then 446 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: you know, having a little bit of issues and the fact, 447 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 1: like I said, they stood by me and they believed 448 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: in me, and they saw what I could you know, 449 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: become and just the person I was, And you know, 450 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: that's what I really am thankful for. And obviously it's 451 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: paid off for me and just has been a truly 452 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: blessing in my life to still be here and to 453 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: be like I said, with my teammates and be able 454 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: to mess around with them, and then getting extension even 455 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: though while I'm hurt, you know, have faith in me 456 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: to come back and still perform at a high level. 457 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: And obviously, like that's my goal, um, and that's should 458 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: be the goal for everyone who gets hurt. But like 459 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: like you said, it's just been awesome and that's why 460 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: I truly believe this organization is first class from you know, 461 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: the top down and everything they do. Alright, So let's 462 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: talk about some of your fellow tight ends. You can 463 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: talk trash or or whatever. Uh. I got a lot 464 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: of So what are the expectations for Mark Andrews this year? 465 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, you know, there's more weapons. What'd you 466 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: say I said for Markie? Yeah, I mean they're obviously that. 467 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: Mark's an awesome player. Man, He's super talented, one of 468 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: the best time ends in the league, and his expectations 469 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: every single year just go higher and higher. And you know, 470 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 1: I don't know whether what stat line or whatever he 471 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 1: has mine, but I obviously know he's gonna go out 472 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: there and perform and you know, be a main target 473 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: and be a main threat for all the teams and 474 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,640 Speaker 1: everyone we play. You know, he's just super dangerous and 475 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: he could do so many different things, and he's fast 476 00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: and you know, can catch the ball really well. You know, 477 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: he's very manipulative on and off the field. So now 478 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: he's just he's awesome and you know he just fits 479 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: our offense so well. Do you see growth in him 480 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 1: from this offseason, like when you're watching practice, Yeah, I 481 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: think he's gotten so much faster. I think he's really 482 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: perfecting his route running. I think he's always trying to 483 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: get better in that aspect um, you know, just being 484 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: able to go out there and do what he does 485 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: really well, even better than he did last year. And 486 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: with him, you know, he always has this mantra every 487 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 1: time he wants to go on the field, he wants 488 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: to dominate, and that's something you know, you look at 489 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: and he truly cherished the player, and he's always trying 490 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: to go out there and compete. You know, he's never 491 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: like taking it easy when he's running route and somebody's 492 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: always trying to win. And that's something really cool. So 493 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: what do you think about how Patrick Cards stepped in 494 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: after you got hurt and like his ability to be 495 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: versatile fullback, tight end hybrid, Like how impressed were you 496 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: with what he was able to do? Yeah, I mean 497 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: Pat from from the beginning, first of all, coming from Maine, 498 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: he made it through Maine and he got into the NFL. 499 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: So that's one pretty essence to you know, when I 500 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: think of Pat, you know, first he came here is 501 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: to d lineman and to be at the highest level 502 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 1: of football and to change sides of the ball when 503 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: you've never really maybe in high school you played fullback, 504 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: but that really means you never played fullback, let's be real. 505 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: So you know that of itself, I was like so 506 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 1: impressed by and then the way he translated from fullback 507 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: year on and just stacked, and how much better he 508 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: got and how much more he understood the offense and 509 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: was being able to become a pro Bowl fullback. You know, 510 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 1: that's unheard of, the switch switch sides like that, and 511 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,680 Speaker 1: that amount of time to become that successful. So that 512 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: self is just so impressive. And then again he's a 513 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: super strong guy, and he's taller, and he thinks, he 514 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: tells us, ever from he's actually pretty tall. He's just 515 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: like kind of wide, so he doesn't look at his 516 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: taller this little fatter, but he's not actually pretty cut too. 517 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: He just doesn't know he looks a little fatter because 518 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: sorries to d lineman. But like I said, he's just 519 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: he gets better and he understands, you know, the fullback 520 00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: position in the offense, and even when I got hurt, 521 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: or even when I was playing you play on the 522 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage as a down tight in a three 523 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 1: point stance, and him being able to do all these 524 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: different things and go in motion just create so many 525 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: mismatches in our offense and allow him to play different positions, 526 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: which is not pigeonholeme to oh Pats in the backfield 527 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: here when we do this, you know, he could do 528 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: multiple things. And the credit to him studying and just 529 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: evolving with this offense, becoming from a defensive player. You know, 530 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 1: it's just cool. Yeah. So one of one of the 531 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: fans suggested a new package, kind of like the hyds 532 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:37,479 Speaker 1: and package, and this would be you, uh, Pat and 533 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 1: Ben Mason all with Gus with Gus Tote in the rock. 534 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: What do you think of that? I'm calling it the 535 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: Mahler package. What do you think? What are your thoughts? 536 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: That would be awesome? You know, I'm not opposed to 537 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: having more fullbacks and tight ends on the field. I 538 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: think the more we have them, the more incorporated and 539 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: the more we run the ball to an extent, we 540 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: are successful. So I would love that would be an 541 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: awesome idea. Nice and there we go. Can you can 542 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: you tell fans something that they don't know or may 543 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: not know about, you know, blocking in the NFL as 544 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: a tight end. I mean, you are one of the 545 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: best blocking tight ends in the league, if not the best. 546 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: What is it about your job that you relish and 547 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: that fans might not realize may not realize. I think 548 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 1: tight end and the offense we have right now. I 549 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: think besides the quarterback, I think we have the best 550 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: understanding of everything going on. I think we're like, besides 551 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: the quarterback, I think we know most about the offense. 552 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: I think we know all about the motions, the alignments, 553 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: the assignments of everybody on the field, and we have 554 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: to get moved around and do so much. I mean, 555 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: I feel like if not to knock on any the 556 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: other position groups, but I don't think they'll be able 557 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: to do it, you know. And I think we have 558 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: to have a knowledge understanding of the whole offense, especially 559 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: with the offense we run. But from a blocking aspect, 560 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's really just a mindset and 561 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: tanacy the and to to go out there and to 562 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: want to donate the dude to cross from you, and 563 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 1: no matter how you feel or how your body feels, 564 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: going out there and just just trying to beat the 565 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: good dude a cross from you physically. And you know, 566 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 1: it's a good feeling when it happens, and it's even 567 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: it's the worst feeling when you get dominated. So I'd 568 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 1: tell people like football man, like, if you're playing well 569 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: and doing really well, it's the most fun sport, but 570 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,120 Speaker 1: it could be the worst sport if you're out there 571 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 1: and you're just getting physically dominated, Like, there is no 572 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: worse feeling that makes me feel in life, like to 573 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 1: get physically dominate out there in the football field. And 574 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: so therefore that's the last thing I ever ever want 575 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: to happen. So when I go out there, I'm really 576 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: just trying to dominate everyone else, right, And probably when 577 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: you go out there and you get like you're getting 578 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: beat by one guy, like it's not gonna it's not 579 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: gonna change, you know, like if he's beating you, it's 580 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 1: gonna keep happening. It's all right, who's the toughest guy 581 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 1: to block? Who's the toughest guy you've blocked? Give credit 582 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 1: to any of those guys the black mom I mentioned, 583 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: any of them, you know, they're all it is it 584 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 1: Uh to Ryan's point, like I think that there's probably 585 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 1: not enough appreciation for you. You'll you'll go up there 586 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: and you'll have to block Miles Garrett or you know, 587 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: t J. Walt, like you're right there in the thick 588 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: of like some of these great players on the defensive side. Obviously, 589 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line in the left tackle gets a lot 590 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: of the attention in that regard, But like, you're going 591 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 1: up against those guys and like, is that something that 592 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,679 Speaker 1: you relish enjoy do because you have to, Like how 593 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: do you view that? I look at it as a 594 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: normal part of their job for what I have to 595 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: do technically, So it's not something I'm like, oh wow, 596 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 1: I'm going to get this dude, you know, or something 597 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 1: like that, because that's just really what the job entails 598 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: and being a part of this offense and running the ball. Um. 599 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: We do a lot of different things with those guys, 600 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: whether we block it or not. But there's times where 601 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: you're really you know, third and one or whatnot, or 602 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: even run the ball power and every think you just gotta, 603 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: you know, get the job done versus you know, huge 604 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,719 Speaker 1: d n or something like you say. And so for me, 605 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 1: I mean that's kind of I'm expecting myself to win. 606 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: I'm expecting myself to get that block done, so when 607 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't happen, I'm very disappointed. So I really don't 608 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: take it as something special. I just take it as 609 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: something normal. So when I go do it, it's just like, 610 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,159 Speaker 1: all right, idea, what I was supposed to do, you know, 611 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 1: what I mean, I'm not like patting myself because that's 612 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,720 Speaker 1: what that's what I'm expecting myself to do. Go out there. 613 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: That's why I want to be one of the best 614 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: blocking tight ends in the league, because that's what that's 615 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: what I want to go get done right. Well, and 616 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: now you're a touchdown machine, you know after four years? 617 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: Four years not fine in the end zone? Back to back? 618 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns each year? Baby, yeah, we'll see you. Better 619 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: get to at least three. We need a career high 620 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: and touchdown catches. This I want to have one. I 621 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: would have one Buffalo. What was that twenties seventeen or 622 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: twenty eight teen. But but Willie shout out to Willie sneed. 623 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: He wanted to block the dude to the back of 624 00:28:56,360 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: the end zone. That's true. The pen. Awesome. Well, thank 625 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: you for joining us, Nick, best luck man, keep keep 626 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: grinding and we can't wait to see you out there.

I mean 629 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: just he's funny man, and I think it is really 630 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: cool to see how far he's come in his career 631 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: and the leader that he is on this team. It's uh, 632 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: it's really neat. It is like like I said, I 633 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: would if you were to go back to twenty and say, 634 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,239 Speaker 1: who on this team is still going to be here? 635 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,080 Speaker 1: Like I probably woanted to pick Nick, you know, like 636 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: just to be honest, but I don't think you would 637 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: have either, and I don't think a lot of people 638 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: would have. But he was able to like come back 639 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: from a rocky start and just turned into a really 640 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: good player who's recognized as the best in the league 641 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: of what he does as a blocking first tight end 642 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 1: and be somebody who's so important to this team, so 643 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: important to this offense, and um, yeah, just just a 644 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: really he's a good guy too. So well, it's interesting. 645 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. I just pulled up the draft, 646 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 1: So that was the Perrin in round one. Uh, then 647 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,400 Speaker 1: it's it's crazy three tight ends because then Max Williams 648 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: in the second round, boil goes in the fifth, and 649 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: then Waller Darren Waller went in the sixth. Yeah, it's 650 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: just pretty pretty interesting. And Max is still playing I 651 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: think now too. That's just still playing. I believe I 652 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: think he was hurt last year. Um, but yeah, that's 653 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: that was us Smith in the fourth round. You know, 654 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: you look at that draft and and Brashad kind of 655 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: taints you know, the top of it, obviously, but then 656 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: you start looking in the other rounds, You're like, all right, 657 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: Sadarius s fifth, like a defensive player that you're Canada 658 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: in Green Bay, Nick Boyle, Darren Waller like, dang, that 659 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: class wanted you back. Yeah, yeah, for sure. It's like 660 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: that's kind of similar to the not to do a 661 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: full draft, you know, redraft podcast right now, But it's 662 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: kind of like the draft with elam not great at 663 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: the top and you get Brandon Williams, you know, in 664 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: the third round. You're like, okay, right, and you check 665 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: and some other guys think too. Yeah for sure. Um, anyway, 666 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: really excited about Nick and you know, the Ravens needing 667 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: back in the field. To be honest, if we're just 668 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: gonna talk about football here, and one thing, you know, 669 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: it's Ben Mason is an interesting case study for this 670 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: team and where he fits into the puzzle here. And 671 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: you know, if Nick is is a little bit slower 672 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: to get back on the field or whatever, you know, 673 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: maybe Ben Mason is insurance in that regard, you know, 674 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: to kind of be that inline blocker that the Ravens 675 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: need at tight end. Um, So I think that's that's 676 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: something to watch for sure. And I mean Ben Mason 677 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: is interesting. I talked about that and Final Drive a 678 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: little bit yesterday. Also Eric Tomlinson who the Ravens added 679 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 1: last season, who filled in for Laid down the stretch. 680 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: He's another big well yeah, and he's he's a big 681 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: boy also. I mean he's physically impressive. It can and 682 00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: can play that blocking type role. Um, when he's got 683 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: the long hair, he's got like the thwar like hands. 684 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: That makes you tougher. That definitely adds to it for sure. 685 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: That's why you're not tough at all. You got the 686 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:24,760 Speaker 1: short buzzy well, Nick Boyle's got the super short cut. 687 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: You're saying he's not to us. That's not what you're saying. 688 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: I never said that. It's either one way or the other. 689 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: If you're completely shaven, if you're bald, basically that's tough 690 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: or long hair. It's the in between. Like me and 691 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: you not tough. Popa hammy and start crying exactly. You 692 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: come thirty seven years old popping your hammy and old 693 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: man softball dude, my legs still hurts.

Coach told me, I have to rest this weekend. 696 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm not allowed to come back to the player. You 697 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: gotta get back and rehab so that you're good. So 698 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: that's the problem. I kind of tweaked it like three 699 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: weeks straight and then I kept going and then I 700 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: fool and popped it. That's the problem. That's the problem. Anyway, 701 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 1: you don't have this, you don't have this problems because 702 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: you're not an athlete.
