20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: you play the game, is really to make your fancy

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: owners happy. So yeah, I'm sure you do. You probably

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: you get the DM from fancy owners after not so

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: great game, you just have to probably bury that one.

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: Do you respond to the d M s or you

25
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: just you just eat that one? I got your coach,

26
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, just sometimes it depends on how I'm feeling. Sometimes, Yeah,

27
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: if you're feeling saucy or not, Yeah, definitely saucy or not. Well. Well,

28
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: obviously a great start to the season. I mean, is

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: this kind of what you imagined in training camp? You know,

30
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: you had a great camp, a great offseason, you know,

31
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: work your butt off training for this. Is this kind

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: of the start that you envisioned for the year. I'm

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: not sure what an envisioned. Um, I didn't have. I

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: don't have anything sitt in mind. I'm not sure how

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: the game is gonna go or the rest of my

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: career gonna go. I'm just gonna, um focus on myself

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: and playball and focus on the team. UM. I like

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: that's where most of your success comes from. You know.

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: You take yourself out of it, you know, stop playing

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: flood the people. Um. So it's just kind of who

41
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: I am. I just don't worry about some of those

42
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: unnecessary things. I just played football. So you have the

43
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,399
Speaker 1: seventy five year touchdown on Sunday just to catch and run,

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: And I mean it was an electric play. Take me

45
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: through that one, Like when you catch it, you're going

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: up against Saving Howard. First of all, you put a

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: great move on him. And do you think at that

48
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: point like I might be able to take this to

49
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: the house or did you what are you thinking? Like

50
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: when you catch it and you realize you have a step. Um,

51
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: there was a point where I just know I had

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: to run. He took a good angle on so the

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: cutting back me comming back across his face was kind

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: of like not gonna happen. And then are running so

55
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: fast that uh I knew I wasn't gonna cut because

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: I just wasn't gonna try to cut at that moment um.

57
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: But there was a point where almost ran out of

58
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: bounce because I thought he had an ankle on me.

59
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: I was like, is he gonna get like one of

60
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: those like but I was just like, just go, I

61
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: don't even switch the ball. I just ran so, um,

62
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I guess I was fast enough for yeah, I guess.

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: So you know all that pre combine talk about your speed,

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: I think that's you that talked to rest yeah, yeah,

65
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: I think I did. Now. I tried to go back

66
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: and watch all your Minnesota highlights to get this answer

67
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: myself about whether you've ever had a seventy five yard

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: touchdown in college or now the pros, But you had

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: too many touchdowns in long place that I kind of got.

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: I kind of just moved on. So I just figured

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: i'd ask you myself, have you ever had a seventy

72
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: five yard or is this the first? It might be

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: my first? So the longest touchdown since you went to

74
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: college in NFL, Yeah, I think so, that's pretty awesome.

75
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: It is kind of lit. That's pretty awesome. And the

76
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: top speed you hit was twenty one point four eight

77
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: miles per hour, which I don't know if you know this,

78
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: but that's the second fastest of the year so far.

79
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: You know who the first festest is? That's that guy.

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: That guy? So, I mean, have you two talked about this?

81
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, like I know, who's fastest is always a

82
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: debate in the locker room. I think there's douss one

83
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: on the team. Okay, yeah, you're just gonna tip your

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: cap just yeah, for sure, I'm gonna be really bad.

85
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: He's fast. I mean, yeah, I think everybody saw it.

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: He took off on a cat return, so yeah, he

87
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: got up there is it doesn't mean anything to you though,

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: like to have a play like that where you mean,

89
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: second fastest speed in the entire league this year, Like,

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: is that something that is significant to you to just

91
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: kind of, for lack of a better term, announced to

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: the league, like I got world class speed and here

93
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: it is on tape. No, I don't really. I think

94
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: that's a stat that's just it's a stat. Now. I

95
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: think everything nowadays is still stat is becoming a stat

96
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: because everybody in the NFL is fast. Um, not that

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: fast though. I mean I guess we could say that,

98
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: but then I think about me and then it's like,

99
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: all right, target, he will go run. Yeah he didn't

100
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: look pretty fast, well exactly. It's like you know, I'm

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: saying list race, but um, I mean I knew I

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: was fast. I mean I wouldn't play receiver if I

103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: if I don't think I was fast. But um, I

104
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: definitely surprised myself. But really yeah, yeah, without with that speed,

105
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: you surprise yourself or that you just like didn't get hawked.

106
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: Then I didn't get caught, is what I was surprised.

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I know it was fast, right now, I know that

108
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm fast enough to do other things that can help

109
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: me out. I wonder is that at all? Like, you know,

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: guys playing the in the NBA, you're a basketball player

111
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: growing up, Like until you dunk on somebody, you don't

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: really have the confidence that like, I'm just gonna take

113
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: this down the lane and just that's exactly how it goes,

114
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: exactly how it goes, because that's how it was for

115
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: me in basketball. I feel like it's like from basketball,

116
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: it took me a while to shoot my first three pointer.

117
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: When I finally first knocked out on my first three pointer,

118
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: it gave me the confidence to shoot again. Um, And

119
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: I think that's that's how it is in life. You know,

120
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: how did the football everything? So these players definitely giving

121
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: me confidence in a boost, you know, hunger to go

122
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: out to do more. Right. So it's it's basically like

123
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: when I catch the ball, now I know I can

124
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: run away from you and and like, see your mindset

125
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: is kind of now catch the ball and I'm gonna

126
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this to the house. Yeah, just get busy.

127
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: You don't have fun, you know, get them yet you

128
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: know it's and here you talk about that. It's kind

129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: of interesting, Like, you know, I know that you're a

130
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: really confident guy. I remember when you were here right

131
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: after the Rave of His drafted you and you were

132
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: talking about how you felt like, you know, I'm the

133
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: best receiver in this class. And I'm really like that

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: your confidence was. I feel like it has been on

135
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: display since you got here. But then like when you

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: get on the field, I'm sure there's still an element

137
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: of like you you have to go do it. So

138
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: when you're like putting those plays out there, like, are

139
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: you kind of like almost proving yourself right for that

140
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: confidence every single week? Yeah, That's was what it is. Um.

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's proven it to myself that I can

142
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: go out and make those plays. You know, uh, you know,

143
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: make a play, you know, think about it, you know, reset,

144
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,799
Speaker 1: make another one, make another one, and then those those

145
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: discontinuous stack, um stack on top of you two good plays,

146
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: and then you just continue to build your confidence from there.

147
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: So so you're in twenty one point for a looking

148
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: at Garrett, what what do you think top speed is on? Garrett?

149
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: Just sizing them up right now? I got the length,

150
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, that that's not top speed, though it can

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: cover ground a lot of a lot of ground covers

152
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: with these tries. Well, I say that because the day

153
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: I ran a seventeen, and okay, I would I would

154
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: assume that I'm pretty fast. Yeah, I think you've got

155
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: me beat. I'll give you that. So I gave you

156
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: a thirteen. So I mean, you know that it might

157
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: be faster. He's not dogging you right now, he's being

158
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: really all right, all right, I'm gonna have to go

159
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: see BA can borrow one of those trackers for an

160
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: afternoon and see what was kind of top speed I

161
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: can reach. So So, I mean a lot of the talk,

162
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, talking about the big plays. A lot of

163
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: the talk this offseason and the media at least was okay,

164
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: well the Ravens trade marks Brown. You know, are they

165
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: going to have this big play ability? Are they gonna

166
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: have that speed thread over the top? You know? Is

167
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: that something that you kind of took a little personally saying, Hey, man,

168
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I was a big play receiver in college. I'm gonna

169
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: be a big play receiver in the NFL. You know, Yeah,

170
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I never really cared about what too money. It was

171
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: body else to says about me. Um. I said the

172
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: same thing when I was in high school. UM, that's

173
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: why I went to Minnesota. Um. They said the same

174
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: thing when I was in college. UM, because I went

175
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: to Minnesota. UM, they're gonna say the same thing here

176
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: because I went to the Ravens Ravens. Um, all I

177
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: have heard was their history here of receivers and whatever

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: that look like. UM, I have no idea. I haven't

179
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: dug deep and done my research on it. Uh, I

180
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm focused on now. UM. And you know

181
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: what I could control. So I always known I can

182
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: make their plays. I just I just had to go

183
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: do it when my opportunity, when I'm my opportunity game.

184
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of all the talk, you know, the wide

185
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: receivers is all the talk this offseason, How how tight

186
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: of a bond you know, have you guys formed. I'm

187
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: not saying it's because of that, you might you might

188
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: have formed just the same bond had it not been

189
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: for all that people down you and all that. But

190
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: like when you are doubt it, you know that can

191
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: put a chip on your shoulder and make people rally together,

192
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: you know, Like, can you just talk about kind of

193
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: the connection that you as a group of wide receivers

194
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: have formed. I think that definitely helped us connect on

195
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: that type of level, um, because it's not like they

196
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: was just focusing on one person that they was out

197
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: and it was the the whole group, whole offense, our quarterback. Um,

198
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: so we did take your personal um. Everybody you know

199
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: worked hard. You know, I think it's showing this off season. Um,

200
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: you know where we're young. You know, it's easy for

201
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: us to connect nowadays. You know, uh, you know, we

202
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: all just bunded and we continue to bind every single day.

203
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: For sure. It's interesting along those lines. It just kind

204
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: of seems like you guys collectively took like in Us

205
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: against the world mentality, like all right, you guys don't

206
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: think we can play, You don't think we're good enough?

207
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: Like fine, like in this room, like we have the

208
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: confidence and we're about to show everybody. Yeah that that's

209
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: definitely our mentality is like us as gates everybody for sure. Yeah. Yeah,

210
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: we talked about that a lot. It can be a

211
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: powerful driver, you know. Yeah, I mean I think that

212
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: we put it out on the wire clip uh after

213
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: the Jets game and itche talking about you know, they said,

214
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: you know whatever, the receiver group couldn't play and we

215
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: got all the touchdowns. That is what they said. It

216
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: is what they said. How big was it for you?

217
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: And kind of getting off to the right start? You

218
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: know that Jets game, you get I think the first

219
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: offensive play from scrimmage goes to you. You make that catch,

220
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: and then there was a couple of third downs that

221
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: you probably wish that you made those plays, and then

222
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: they get the touchdown. Like how big was that to

223
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: kind of finish that game that way and give you

224
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: that kind of boost in week one? You know what

225
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I mean? Uh, I mean, obviously it always gonna feel

226
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: good when you make a big play. But just because

227
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: I made bad place and me that didn't hurt myself

228
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: with steam or at my confidence and anything like that.

229
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: Um you know, you know, we live to fight another day,

230
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: We live to fight another play. Right. That's the first game.

231
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: Um so the first time that the offensive unit has

232
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 1: ever played together, period. None of us played in the preseason.

233
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: Um these Dolphins games technically our second time playing together.

234
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 1: Um So you know, we're just fitting, you know, we're

235
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: just fitting stuff and we're just gonna keep you going. Now.

236
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: One thing that I know we talked about this offseason,

237
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: was your connection with Davante Adams, the wide receiver for

238
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders, And he's somebody that you would

239
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: kind of study it a lot and whatnot. And on

240
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: that seventy five yard or that release, like Garrett mentioned,

241
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: was pretty sick. It was like a triple kind of

242
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: to the outside and then broke it off. Was that

243
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: is that a shot Bateman original? Is that Davante? No,

244
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: that looks pretty nice. I'm gonna borrow that. I definitely

245
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: learned it. But um, I'm not gonna talk about my releases.

246
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about my release. That's super secret stuff. Yeah,

247
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: for sure, Like I'm on the season right now, and

248
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: people definitely will be listening to this. I listen to

249
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: the people still well, everybody wasn't still lounge obviously, Bill

250
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: Belichick is probably definitely it's true. It's true. Wise for

251
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: how much do you look at um, do you study

252
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: other guys like as a I know, but you are

253
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: you are you like looking at the taper? How do

254
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: you Jefferson And yes, definitely digs a lot. That was

255
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: probably my top three but it's good three picks. Yeah, Devonte,

256
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: It's definitely probably number one. UM and Justin just because

257
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm more similar to them size wise. UM.

258
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: But when it comes to like you know, like E. C,

259
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 1: B C stuff, there's a last stuff that digs do

260
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: you know that I learned from him, so you know,

261
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: just to come to the snows those do you receive

262
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: what I studied them a lot? How much had Keith

263
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: Williams and t Martin kind of fine tune the route running? Like?

264
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: I know, like when Keith came here, he had worked

265
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: with DeVante and Tyreek Hill and you know that was

266
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: kind of what he was known as his receiver's coaches

267
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: like that route running the technical aspect how and I

268
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: know route running something that like you put a ton

269
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: of pride in and a lot of work on that.

270
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: How much has that kind of developed since you been

271
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: in the league. I would say a lot. Um, we're

272
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: going into my pro day, UM, I worked a lot

273
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: on my routes as well with my trainer UM and

274
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: then coming here with coach Delman Tugen eight. They both

275
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: just helped me take it to the next level for sure. UM.

276
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 1: I would say they both helped me mentality wise, I'm

277
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: like I'm a totally different, you know person than I

278
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: is and your one and I voiced you too. Um,

279
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: them to definitely helped me, you know, grow up a

280
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: lot faster, uh, fulfill my position, um, and doing all

281
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: the things I need to do to be successful. Um.

282
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: They have definitely helped me out when you come to football. Uh,

283
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: and that's every single day. But I feel like them

284
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: too have helped me out way beyond that for sure.

285
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: That's Cool's very cool. So one of my favorite parts

286
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: of Sunday's game was meeting your mom before the game

287
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: on the sideline and just getting to chat with her.

288
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: I chatted with her over the film. I never bet

289
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 1: her in person, and um, you know that came back

290
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: to me when you scored that touchdown and you like

291
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: came to the sideline and obviously you're very hyped up

292
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: and you're just like what's funny about you is like

293
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: you're so chill, like you're you're just you got chill vibes.

294
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: But you came to the side and you're like like

295
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: you're you're going nuts. And I just thought about your

296
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: mom in that moment, like her being in staying even

297
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: seeing that, how happy she must have been. Like that.

298
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool. Like do you think of her at all?

299
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: Like when are you just you just out of your mind?

300
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: I'm not a lie that that that one right there? Yeah,

301
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: I was gone, Like I don't like anything. I just

302
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: I just remember screaming. But after that, UM, make your

303
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: plays like that an atmosphere like that. Um, I'm always

304
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: thinking about my mom's thinking. I'm like, is she's screaming,

305
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: is she crying? Is she she has cited? But she

306
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: will definitely, Uh, definitely has cited about it for sure.

307
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: That's ne And she goes every single one of your games.

308
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah she does. She that is very neat and and

309
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, for listeners, uh who don't

310
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: know your backstory? You know, growing up in Georgia and

311
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: you know it was tough. You and your family went

312
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: through a lot and your mom, gosh, work multiple jobs,

313
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I think it was a dollar general.

314
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: She worked at one spot and and doing researching wood

315
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: floors and and all this stuff. Like she is a worker.

316
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: And and do you feel like you got your work

317
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: ethic in part from watching her as a kid? Yeah,

318
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: I would definitely say my mom for sure. I grew

319
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: up mostly around her. But um, my dad as well.

320
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: My dad's been on the same job since I've known him. Yeah,

321
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: my mom has been in the school system for a while.

322
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, she's done all those jobs as you just mentioned. Um,

323
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: but she was also a teacher. But um, she's been

324
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: around my mom every day. I'm going through the things

325
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 1: that we did, and she's always she always find a way. Um.

326
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: So you know that's how I live my life, you know,

327
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: just just find a way. Um. And I made it

328
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: that far and I know if if I keep that mentality,

329
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: I can go a long way. That's cool. Last question

330
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: for me is like I said, this this chill, this

331
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: chill vibes you have, Like is that something you know

332
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: that you think will transfer into your life off the

333
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: field in terms of I know you have big plans

334
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: like fashion and all this stuff, Like like is it

335
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: kind of like what's your fashion vibe? You know? Is

336
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: it very chill, like you're you're launching your clothing I

337
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: know in the fall, is it going to be kind

338
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: of I feel like it just depends on what the

339
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: vibe is. Like Before the season, I was like I

340
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: had already got all my mouthficits for the game it

341
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: was like, if one, I just want to get out

342
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: of the way. You picked out all your outfits for

343
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: game days before the season started. Yeah, wow, for every

344
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: game I just had to close so I wouldn't have

345
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: to worry about buying it during the season. Catch it, focus,

346
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: check it off, this or whatever. But as I get

347
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: close to the game, the outfit changes like four or

348
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: five times. I feel like growing up, my mom just

349
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: never let us go anywhere if we looked in any

350
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: type of way. So like, my appearance is everything to me,

351
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: So no matter why I go, I just made sure

352
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: that I'm that I'm top nots just because that's just

353
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: how it was raised and my mom bring us up.

354
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: So I like it is that? How is that how

355
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: you operate to? No no, no, no, no no no no.

356
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: I have five outfits total. It's probably not that far stretch.

357
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: They're all supplied by the Ravens. They're all free. That's yeah,

358
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: that's what I said. I want to one to say

359
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: he couldn't hook me up. I look out for myself.

360
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Well I got to some days exactly. I got the

361

387
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's got this like like we're saying, he's

388
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: got this cool energy about him, like a cool customer,

389
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:25,399
Speaker 1: and he kind of it's it's interesting. He's a smooth guy.

390
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: Just if I were going to describe him, I say,

391
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: he's smooth, and it translates to the field, like smooth

392
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: off the field, very smooth route runner, very smooth releases

393
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: on the field. He didn't want to give you anything.

394
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: Oh he I have asked him about his releases. We've

395
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: talked about his releases before. That is top secret stuff.

396
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't talk about his releases. Yeah. Well, I mean

397
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: it was if you go back and you kind of

398
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: watch that play, he just put quite a move on

399
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Damian Howard. It was so I mean, she's pretty darn

400
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: good cornerback, by the way, he's one of the best

401
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: in the league. He's one of the best. And Bateman

402
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: just has this again go back to the world smooth

403
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: like he just operates in this way where he like

404
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: he moves fluidly and it's also sudden like yeah, you know,

405
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 1: and I think that, like, you know, people would describe

406
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: you as a fluid mover because when you try to

407
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: cut your like this, Yes, it's a very very fluid no.

408
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: But then like the speed, I know, he kind of

409
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: like downplayed it. It It was like, you know, I knew

410
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: I was fast, but like I knew he was fast,

411
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: I don't know that I thought he was second in

412
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: the league fast like that that. I think to his point,

413
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: he's like, well, let's line up everybody, and it might not.

414
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: It's a number right now, you know, right, and what's

415
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: to say at the end of the season. But he's

416
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: very fast. He's one of the fastest players in the league.

417
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: And I think that is you know. And I think

418
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: that that's part of the reason that, like the Ravens

419
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: felt confident this offseason making the trade of Hollywood Brown,

420
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: because they had seen Bateman in practice, um and they

421
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: really liked what they saw last year, and they felt

422
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: like he was ready to step into that number one role,

423
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: And through these first two games, he certainly looks for

424
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: that assignment. I mean, I think Rashad Bateman is a

425
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: better version of Hollywood Brown, and that's their knock on Hollywood.

426
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 1: I just think he is right, I think, uh, in

427
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: terms of yak right and and I think if you're

428
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: talking pure speed Hollywood versus Bait, I think it would

429
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: probably a closer race than people would expect. You know,

430
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood is known as being this burner who can go

431
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: over the top. Bet she's a closer race than you

432
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: would expect. And um, and I think that just you know,

433
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: Bait has a little more suddenness in his route running

434
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. And a big part of it

435
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: is the yak right that we saw. I think it

436
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: wasn't it uh Terry Kelly who said he was gonna

437
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: get drunk on yak that was his quote before week two.

438
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: Unfortunately he did. Um, but I think Bateman has like

439
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: a lot of that potential. Yeah, I'd have to go

440
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: back and look at all the kind of the next

441
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: young stats, but I don't know that Hollywood ever got

442
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: to a top speed that Bateman reached on that touchdown.

443
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: That's twenty five year touchdown in his time with the Ravens. So, um,

444
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: you know, encouraging stuff from him. I think that, you know, certainly, uh,

445
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, this week there's been disappointment lingering from that game.

446
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: I know we've gotten plenty of emails which are gonna

447
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: get to here in a second. You can emails to

448
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: the launch at Ravens dot NFL dot net. And so

449
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: when you lose a game like that, you know there's frustration.

450
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: But I do think of a real bright spot through

451
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: these first two games has been Bateman and the passing

452
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: game as a whole. The passing game as a whole

453
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,479
Speaker 1: looks I think, far better than I expected at this

454
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: point of the year, because, like Bateman talked about, it's

455
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: not like this this group has had much time together

456
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: as a unit. Um, didn't play in the preseason, um,

457
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: and so you know, and then there were just questions

458
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: about the group as a whole after the Hollywood trade.

459
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: So like for all those reasons, I don't know that

460
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: I expected them to be this kind of in tune

461
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: and in sync two games into the year. Well, I

462
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: think what's been really interesting is this this big, big place.

463
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: It's not like they've been marching on these long drives

464
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: and just kind of dicing people up with shorter passes

465
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: and stuff. I mean, it's it's really been Know the

466
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: Jets game off it was big place. Same against the offense,

467
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: big plays. Did it you know, and so um, you know,

468
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: the flip side is like can you keep can you

469
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: keep getting those big plays? Like those don't always happen

470
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: all the time, right, but like the Ravens are kind

471
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: of it's like a defense, he gets a lot of turnovers, right,

472
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, how good a defense are we? Right?

473
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: It's like, well, if you could keep getting a bunch

474
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: of turnovers, you're gonna be really great. But sometimes those

475
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: can fluctuate, right, how much of the Ravens big plays

476
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: so far this season on offense? Like can they keep

477
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: up this rate? You know what I mean? Like you're

478
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,159
Speaker 1: not gonna have a semi five aar touchdown on a

479
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: slant every week? Or or can you write right where

480
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: it's just babing that good? You know? And um thinking like, good,

481
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna have a semi five air touching

482
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: every week, certainly, you know, And so I think that,

483
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens have to get the ground game

484
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: going in order to have drives where it's not just

485
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: kind of boom, you know, they hit that big play

486
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: first score, Like it all needs to kind of mesh

487
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: and work together. Obviously it's been great so far. You

488
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: put up. You know, thirty one offensive points against the offense.

489
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: It's a dark and good day. Yeah, so you In

490
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: terms of the run game, I think we did get

491
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: some questions to the last at Ravens dot NFL dot

492
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: Net about the run game, Will says, Hey, Ryany Garrett.

493
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: I believe coach Hardball spelled out why the Ravens have

494
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: struggled to run the ball. Teams are stacking the box

495
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: and darning. The Ravens beat them through the air, and

496
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens have won the passing matchups when teams do that.

497
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: Through two games. You also expressed that in those short

498
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: yardage situations we need to convert. My question is why

499
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: aren't we. Gregor Roman is the most creative run offensive

500
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,239
Speaker 1: coordinator in the NFL. What's happening in situations when we

501
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: need to run the ball is that the lineman is

502
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: the running backs. What's going on? I think it's a

503
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: combination of all of the above, which is I guess

504
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: a good thing and a bad thing. I'm not sure,

505
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: but it seems like, you know, in the run game,

506
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: it's a different problem each time. It's not like you

507
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: can just isolate and say this is it. We got

508
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: one thing to fix. Let's fix it. Boom, right, It's

509
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: like you know, some it's it's a different lineman getting

510
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: pushed back, which slows up some d else who's trying

511
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: to pool and then there's just no opening. It's a

512
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: running back that picks the wrong lane. You know, it

513
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: doesn't see that gap there, you know. Um, it's just

514
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: a variety of things. And and I will say this,

515
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: that's often what happens with an offensive line right in

516
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: a run game is like there's five of them, right,

517
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,719
Speaker 1: I put up ten fingers. I meant to put up

518
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: five fingers, and uh, they all have to work in unison.

519
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: And if you have a letdown in any one of

520
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: those five spots, especially in a Greg Roman offensive line

521
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: where you're there's so many moving parts, it can have

522
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: a domino effect and spoil a run. Um. You know,

523
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: they also just have to move bodies up front. In

524
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: short yard of situations, you got to move some people.

525
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: And um, they just haven't done a good enough job

526
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 1: of that. They didn't do a good enough job of

527
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: that against the Dolphins. I say so. I think the

528
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: question is like does that change? You know? We got

529
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: this question in mail bag this week about basically when

530
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: j K. Dobbins is back on the field, does that change? Um?

531
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: And I think that, look, j K. Dobbins has start potential,

532
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: think he was gonna have a monster season before the

533
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: knee injury. I think when he gets on the field,

534
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: he can he you know, hopefully can get back to

535
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: the dynamic player that he was. And I think that

536
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: he can, um, But there's I think when he does return,

537
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: there's still gonna be a ramping up process and it's

538
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: gonna take some time. And I also think that, like

539
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: the running game is not just as simple as like,

540
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: all right, j K. Dobbins is back, things are, you know,

541
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: Like to your point, the running game is often complicated

542
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: because like one missque from one offensive lineman on one

543
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: play can just blow it up. And then the next

544
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: play it's a different offensive linement that gets speed and

545
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: it and it gets blown up and then all of

546
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: a sudden, the result is you can't run the ball. Well,

547
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: it's different problems on each play and like what do

548
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: you do with that moving forward? You gotta address at all, um,

549
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: And so I think that there's like it's a multilayered

550
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: issue through these two games. I think that it's kind

551
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: of jarring because we're just used to seeing the Ravens

552
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball consistently since Red Roman

553
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson have been here. And so let's also

554
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: not forget the blacking was pretty darn good on the

555
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson touched. It was that one counts, So that

556
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: one counts exactly. That one counts. Um So it looks

557
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: pretty good there. So you know, but you do, you've

558
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: got to be able to move the ball. When you

559
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: have first and goal from the two, you gotta punch

560
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: it in. Yeah, you gotta be able to get a

561
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: conversion if you're going to be a team the ghost

562
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: one on fourth down, as the Ravens want to be.

563
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: You gotta get that conversion and go and seal the

564
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: game in the game. Um. So they that's what they're

565
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: working on this week. So um. I think I think

566
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: that j K will definitely make a difference. Like really

567
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: good running backs can make their offensive line look good, right,

568
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: and good offensive lines can make mediocre running back look better, right,

569
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: It works had in hand. I think j K. Dobbins

570
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: will certainly, you know, by by making more people missed,

571
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: by hitting the right hole faster, by you know, all

572
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, just what has made him specialist

573
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: entire career. He will help elevate this game. It's just

574
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: how much is it? Is it gonna just suddenly click,

575
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: you know? And and the Ravens are the twenty nineteen

576
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: Ravens of old. No, I don't I think we have

577
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: to kind of erase that from our memory or even Ravens,

578
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they ran the ball pretty darn

579
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: all that year. Um. I don't think that, like we

580
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: should compare the run game this year to those of

581
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: years past quite yet. And maybe it'll get to that

582
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: point later in the year, once j K gets some

583
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: games under his belt, and maybe Gus returns and all

584
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 1: that stuff. But like holding the Ravens running game to

585
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: that high of a standard, I think it is probably

586
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,479
Speaker 1: pretty unrealistic. And but it has to be. It has

587
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,719
Speaker 1: to be better than it is now. Uh, certainly for

588
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: this offense to reach the heights that it can. All right,

589
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: So let's go to another email put it over on

590
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. This email comes to

591
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: us from jeff uh Jefferson blown Quist, and he says

592
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton's Kyle Hamilton's received a rough introduction to the

593
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: elite NFL speed and an experienced quarterback who can make

594
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 1: all the throws. Uh and who has approved of course

595
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: you talked about toa. Um. Do you anticipate that he

596
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: will learn from the experience. Mr Hamilton's will have to

597
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: work with the training staff over the course of the

598
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: off season to improve his speed and fast witch muscle. Um,

599
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: so what is your take on basically Kyle Hamilton's and

600
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: you know, in the struggles of the secondary in the

601
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, My take is that it's a rookie playing

602
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 1: in his second game. And and even if you're a

603
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: first round rookie, you still make mistakes, right, even if

604
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: you're the fourteenth overall pick, mistakes happen in your second game.

605
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know we don't exactly certainly on the

606
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: on the deep one behind Marcus Peters. You know, you

607
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: look at that play and you say, okay, look like

608
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Kyle didn't see that. You know, Tyreek Hill kind of

609
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: behind him. He locked in on Jalen Model come across,

610
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: and you just didn't really stay on top of Tyreek Hill,

611
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: which is the tough assignment. Right. He's pretty darn fast, right,

612
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: But Kyle needs to make that play, right, He should

613
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: and um, but like keep in mind that he's a

614
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: rookie and it's it's the bulls flying fast out there

615
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill faster than most and and so do

616
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: I think he will learn from this? Absolutely? You he

617
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: won't forget that one. He won't forget that. I mean

618
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: that that game was one that sticks with you for

619
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: a little while, especially when you are such a key

620
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: part of those big plays. Right. And so Kyle Hamilton's

621
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: a dude who takes a lot of pride in this craft,

622
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: who works really hard, who's a very sharp guy. And sometimes,

623
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: you know, I agree with John Harball, sometimes you gotta

624
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: learn the hard way and those are the ones that,

625
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: like you'll look back on later in your career. Um, gosh,

626
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember. There's like some people who like famous,

627
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, big time players who were like, oh, the

628
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: first player of my career like was a pick six

629
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: or whatever, you know, it was Peyton Manning. I want

630
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: to say, right, and like, you know what, you learn

631
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: pretty fast from this and you get better, and I

632
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: expect that from Kyle Hamilton's Yeah, I think that I

633
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: think he will. Um, there's a reason he support teeth overall,

634
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: pick and so I think that, like to Jeff's question, like,

635
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, should he improve the fast twitch muscles stuff?

636
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I don't know that that this situation

637
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: is really related to that. I think that he just

638
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: took the wrong guy on that, right, you know. I

639
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: think that he just was in the wrong place there, right, Um,

640
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: And so he's going to learn from it. And I

641
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: think the Ravens, you know, there's still obviously a lot

642
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: of I think I think that also playing and I've

643
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: said this before, playing safety as a rookie in the NFL,

644
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: I think is one of the tougher assignments. Right. It

645
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: used to be like wide receiver, you didn't expect much

646
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: from a rookie wie receiver. There's too much going on

647
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: now rookieide receivers going off every year. But I think

648
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: for a safety there's a lot of mental stuff that's

649
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: going on. And to me, that's what it looks like

650
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: with Kyle, Like there he's just processing a lot, right,

651
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: And and he's a really really like ridiculously smart guy, right,

652
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 1: I have no doubt that he can process, you know.

653
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: And so but that takes time, like there's and and

654
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: sometimes it takes live reps right to really be out

655
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: on the field and feel, oh like, if I'm gonna

656
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: be dropping in the coverage here to take the deep zone,

657
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: I gotta do it faster than I did before because

658
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: because Tyreek Hill is gone, like I need I need

659
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: to start two seconds earlier, right because I was really

660
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: fast in college, but all these dudes are super fast now,

661
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: and like until you feel that, you don't really know

662
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Well, this week will be interesting. Um,

663
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Patriots obviously are a good team.

664
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: They don't have the passing attack that the Dolphins have

665
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: with the weapons on the outside, certainly, So I think

666
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a different I think it's gonna be

667
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: a different story. Um. In that regard, Jones wants to

668
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly. It's the Tom Brady kind

669
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: of a march, you know, than like the big play. Um.

670
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: So it'll be a different assignment for this secondary as

671
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: a whole. But there's no doubt they gotta bounce back.

672
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I think those guys are feeling it, you know.

673
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: I think that they recognize giving up six touchdowns is

674
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: not acceptable. Yeah, and and that not is not what

675
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: they're used to around here. Um, so I do think

676
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: they're going to bounce back. What are your thoughts about

677
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: this game? You know, I think it'll be the interest.

678
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,959
Speaker 1: I also the test of their defense. Again, the Ravens

679
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: offense is one that I think we'll be intriguing. We

680
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: all know that Bill Belichick is kind of and Lamar

681
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: Jackson said that, uh this week, like he's a matchup

682
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: that they change up their scheme every single week. You know,

683
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: like that's what Bill bells and so like it's kind

684
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: of tough to predict sometimes what you're gonna get because

685
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: they they they change it up. Yeah, I mean on

686
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: the surface, this is a game between two contenders in

687
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: the a f C that I expect when just like

688
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins game was, I expect when we get the

689
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: season's end, we're gonna be talking about the Patriots and

690
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 1: and you know them being in the chase, right, just

691
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: like we're gonna be talking about the Ravens and so

692
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: it's kind of like Dolphins when this is one you

693
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: want to win, so you have that one up on them,

694
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: you knock them down a wrong and you go up

695
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: a wrong right. So and I think it's it's also um,

696
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: you know, super on the outside. This is an excess nose.

697
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: But like you're saying, it's a testament to how's this

698
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: team gonna bounce back? And these young players that are

699
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: playing in big spots like can you handle a punch

700
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: to the to the jaw and get back up and

701
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: and keep fighting? You know, it's a test of that.

702
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: I expect the Ravens well, you know, John Harbald knows

703
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: how to do that, how to get a seam ready

704
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: after or something like that, you know, and um, so

705
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: you know that's how it is. On the service, I

706
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: would say the patient has a really good They have

707
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: a very good defense. I think they ranked number four

708
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: in the league this year. It's a Bill Belichick team.

709
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna have a good defense, Ravens offense. Um,

710
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, can they stay as hot? Can Lamar Jackson

711
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: stays hot? And he kind of battle Bill Belichick in

712
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: in a battle of wits that Lamar's coming off a

713
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: convincing win in the battle of wits, you know against

714
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, and so, um, you know that'll be an

715
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: interesting uh play there. Really what it is is, I'm

716
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: very excited for the clam chowder at half. What you know,

717
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: Edge let's state it is the highlight of the game.

718
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: You're not making the trip, are you? Baby? You are?

719
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: I am? You're coming up. Yeah, I'll be there. Are you?

720
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: Here's here's my question. Are you going to miss uh

721
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: R Jackson eight R touchdowns because you're eating clam chowder

722
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: just on Sunday? The clam chowder is very good. If

723
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: there was any food I was gonna miss something for

724
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: the clam chowder is better than the cake. Okay, all right,

725
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: well then you might I might just get two bowls

726
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: the first time you go up. You don't double back.

727
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: You just have a whole bufface. And you know that

728
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: clip chowder is good. It's good. I'm gonna get it.

729
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get Are we gonna hit up the Proof Pub?

730
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Like before the classic spot? You want to tell listeners

731
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: about that one. We'll save that one for another story.

732
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: We're really really we told that story before, but it's

733
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: better on video. Now, what's all the story? Another day?

734
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: That one? Anyway, great story. We'll come back. But it's

735
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a good game. You know. I think the

736
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: Ravens are are going to bounce back in a big

737
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: way and show people when you look at the f C.

738
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: Here's a lot of talking about the FC being stacked

739
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: and and all that stuff. The C West, Oh my gosh,

740
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: it's so loaded. Ravens right now look to me like

741
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: they're still in per really fine position to win their division,

742
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: be a contender in the a f C. Like nope,

743
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: whose bills look really good? It's two weeks, but like

744
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: to me, Ravens still look like they're in good shape. Yeah,

745
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 1: I think they. I agree with that, UM, and I

746
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: think that this game will be a good test of

747
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,879
Speaker 1: that UM. And so it'll be how you bounce back. UM,

748
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: It'll be going up against a great coach UM and

749
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: a good defense and an efficient offense. So like this

750
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: is I agree with you. I think that the Ravens

751
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: obviously everything is still very much on the table for them,

752
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: despite the sky is falling feeling after a loss like that,

753
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: Like this team is I think more than capable of

754
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: winning the division, UM and having a good run this year.

755
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: But you know this week will be important for them. Well,

756
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: so after last week's episode and the big win, you

757
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: said that I can't go that big every week. Well

758
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing is, like, if you're you're at at

759
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,279
