WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jordan Hicks

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>UM, you know, obviously, I think coming from a player's perspective,

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>we understand, Um, you know how tough it is to

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>be you know, not able to be on the field,

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, being hurt, being injured, being you know, whatever

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>comes up on game day. The first thing you want

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to do is be out there on the field. And UM,

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, when something comes up and you're not able

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to do that, you know, mentally it hurts. So you

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:40.639
<v Speaker 1>know we understand that. UM. You know we've all been

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.120
<v Speaker 1>there before. I've been hurt just as much as anybody, UM,

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and understand the pressure along that goes with it and

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the disappointment that goes with it. Um. You know, so

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.440
<v Speaker 1>absolutely we have his back one hundred percent. You know,

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>we trusted UM. You know he wants to be out

0:00:58.040 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>there on the field. We know he wants to be

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>out there on the field. So, UM, we've got his

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>back and he understands we're behind him. I'm likely obviously question. Yeah,

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>there's there's quite a bit to play for. Um, first

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 1>and foremost for this team, this organization. We put so

0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 1>much into this season. Um, you know, to to lay

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.679
<v Speaker 1>down or to you know, whatever you want to call it,

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 1>not show up these last three weeks is not an option.

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You know that we've got way too many, too many

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>guys with a lot of pride um for themselves, for

0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>this organization, for this team, UM, and really to play

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>for each other. You know, we've we've got we've built

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a strong bond on this team, UM and really have

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>a brother you know, like a brotherhood uh in here.

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>So you know, playing for the guy next to you,

0:01:57.960 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>playing for and then at the end of the day,

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>playing for your job. You know, it's crunch time. You know,

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>it's evaluation time and in um these situations in this

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>organization right now, and everybody understands that. You know, going

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>into the these these last three games, the idea of

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.399
<v Speaker 1>the Pro Bowl. Have you thought about it at all?

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And if you were to happen over me, haven't thought

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>about it much. UM. Head's been down into this situation here, UM,

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, trying to focus and get this thing back right. UM.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>But it would be an honor, you know, it would, UM,

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 1>something I've always thought about, something I've always dreamed of,

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, wanted to um be a part of. So

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.040
<v Speaker 1>but you know there's right now main main focus and

0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 1>really until this the last game, UM, the main focus

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.239
<v Speaker 1>is is this, you know, and winning these last three games.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Last year, was there a point in the spring or

0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>the summer or evage the season would have really clicked in? Um,

0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I can't say. I can't say one specific MOMENTUM. I'll

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you what we've It's been a gradual, continuous um,

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, learning, learning experience. Obviously, I'm I'm used to

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.200
<v Speaker 1>being on the outside a little bit. Last time I've

0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>played in the middle a little bit, but not not

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>as much as I have on the outside. UM. But

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 1>over this course the course of the season, you know,

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.919
<v Speaker 1>working with my position coach and working with coach Schwartz,

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, having the ability to pick their brains and

0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 1>kind of learn from them and then having toilet come

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>in and you know, give bits and pieces here, here

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and there. It's been, you know, big help. And I

0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>attributed you know, a lot to the guys around me

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that I have as a resource. You know, it's it's

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>it's tough because, um, you understand the situation. But at

0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, we're blessed to be here. UM.

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>I think perspective when you get in these situations, a

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>sense of perspective comes along with it. UM. You know,

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously the goals, the things that you set out to do,

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:17.919
<v Speaker 1>UM are very unlikely now and and and unlikely for

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:23.279
<v Speaker 1>us to achieve. And UM, you know, but to to

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 1>go towards your last question, we still have a ton

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 1>to play for. You know this, we can really springboard

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>ourselves um for next season, you know, and really UM,

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>set a foundation and learn from the mistakes and all

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>the close losses UM that we've gone through. You know,

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>learn from that, build a foundation and springboard us us forward,

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:52.120
<v Speaker 1>um for the future. So you know, it's it's tough.

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>It's tough, it really is, UM. But you know it's

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the learning process and it's something that you've got to

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.080
<v Speaker 1>make sure you take advantage of because you don't want

0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>to go through all that stuff and not learn anything

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>from it. You know, we've got to take it, apply it,

0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and move forward. The Raven's offensive line it starting to

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>become more solidified. But Marshal, beyond the flip sides in

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>your film study, I'm watching Marshal yonda whatever you've seen

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:21.160
<v Speaker 1>from him. What really stands out with you? Watching the player? Uh?

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think they utilize him well, UM, but

0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I think that team is a whole, just their offense

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 1>as a whole. Man, it's just really coming um, you

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>know of whatever, you know, whatever you want to call it.

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.800
<v Speaker 1>They're really clicking. They're starting to click, they're starting to

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>find their identity. Um and I think first and foremost

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it starts to Flacco, um, you know, running to play.

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, obviously he's a great player. But you know,

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, we've got it. They've they've got a

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of weapons, they've got a lot of a lot

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 1>of guys, um that we have to have to contain.

0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't impact, but suspension. You wonder this last guy,

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>wonder what the offense might have been if he had

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>been there. I mean, you can't, you can't think about

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:17.159
<v Speaker 1>it like that. Man. You gotta the situation is what

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.040
<v Speaker 1>it is, and you've got to roll with it, you know.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And it's always that's that's his league, you know, it's

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>next man up. It's just like somebody getting injured, you

0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:28.479
<v Speaker 1>know and um having to sit out. So um, you

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>can't really I know, hey, right, it's h but you

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>really can't. You can't really think about it like that.

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.920
<v Speaker 1>You know. You just gotta play with who's who's up?

0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>And uh move forward. You don't feel like class one guys.

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 1>You don't feel like you you can lay it down a

0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 1>little man. That's a that's a question for Lane. Obviously

0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>he's got his own feelings. I think he's addressed that

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.560
<v Speaker 1>already to you guys, um, but no, for me, it's

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>you've got to move forward with who you have. You

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.160
<v Speaker 1>can't focus on who you don't have. If you do that,

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you're in the wrong bit this. Your mind's in the

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>wrong place too. Problem. M h m hm
