Speaker 1: UM, you know, obviously, I think coming from a player's perspective,
Speaker 1: we understand, Um, you know how tough it is to
Speaker 1: be you know, not able to be on the field,
Speaker 1: you know, being hurt, being injured, being you know, whatever
Speaker 1: comes up on game day. The first thing you want
Speaker 1: to do is be out there on the field. And UM,
Speaker 1: you know, when something comes up and you're not able
Speaker 1: to do that, you know, mentally it hurts. So you
Speaker 1: know we understand that. UM. You know we've all been
Speaker 1: there before. I've been hurt just as much as anybody, UM,
Speaker 1: and understand the pressure along that goes with it and
Speaker 1: the disappointment that goes with it. Um. You know, so
Speaker 1: absolutely we have his back one hundred percent. You know,
Speaker 1: we trusted UM. You know he wants to be out
Speaker 1: there on the field. We know he wants to be
Speaker 1: out there on the field. So, UM, we've got his
Speaker 1: back and he understands we're behind him. I'm likely obviously question. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's there's quite a bit to play for. Um, first
Speaker 1: and foremost for this team, this organization. We put so
Speaker 1: much into this season. Um, you know, to to lay
Speaker 1: down or to you know, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: not show up these last three weeks is not an option.
Speaker 1: You know that we've got way too many, too many
Speaker 1: guys with a lot of pride um for themselves, for
Speaker 1: this organization, for this team, UM, and really to play
Speaker 1: for each other. You know, we've we've got we've built
Speaker 1: a strong bond on this team, UM and really have
Speaker 1: a brother you know, like a brotherhood uh in here.
Speaker 1: So you know, playing for the guy next to you,
Speaker 1: playing for and then at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: playing for your job. You know, it's crunch time. You know,
Speaker 1: it's evaluation time and in um these situations in this
Speaker 1: organization right now, and everybody understands that. You know, going
Speaker 1: into the these these last three games, the idea of
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Have you thought about it at all?
Speaker 1: And if you were to happen over me, haven't thought
Speaker 1: about it much. UM. Head's been down into this situation here, UM,
Speaker 1: you know, trying to focus and get this thing back right. UM.
Speaker 1: But it would be an honor, you know, it would, UM,
Speaker 1: something I've always thought about, something I've always dreamed of,
Speaker 1: you know, wanted to um be a part of. So
Speaker 1: but you know there's right now main main focus and
Speaker 1: really until this the last game, UM, the main focus
Speaker 1: is is this, you know, and winning these last three games.
Speaker 1: Last year, was there a point in the spring or
Speaker 1: the summer or evage the season would have really clicked in? Um,
Speaker 1: I can't say. I can't say one specific MOMENTUM. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what we've It's been a gradual, continuous um,
Speaker 1: you know, learning, learning experience. Obviously, I'm I'm used to
Speaker 1: being on the outside a little bit. Last time I've
Speaker 1: played in the middle a little bit, but not not
Speaker 1: as much as I have on the outside. UM. But
Speaker 1: over this course the course of the season, you know,
Speaker 1: working with my position coach and working with coach Schwartz,
Speaker 1: you know, having the ability to pick their brains and
Speaker 1: kind of learn from them and then having toilet come
Speaker 1: in and you know, give bits and pieces here, here
Speaker 1: and there. It's been, you know, big help. And I
Speaker 1: attributed you know, a lot to the guys around me
Speaker 1: that I have as a resource. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's tough because, um, you understand the situation. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we're blessed to be here. UM.
Speaker 1: I think perspective when you get in these situations, a
Speaker 1: sense of perspective comes along with it. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously the goals, the things that you set out to do,
Speaker 1: UM are very unlikely now and and and unlikely for
Speaker 1: us to achieve. And UM, you know, but to to
Speaker 1: go towards your last question, we still have a ton
Speaker 1: to play for. You know this, we can really springboard
Speaker 1: ourselves um for next season, you know, and really UM,
Speaker 1: set a foundation and learn from the mistakes and all
Speaker 1: the close losses UM that we've gone through. You know,
Speaker 1: learn from that, build a foundation and springboard us us forward,
Speaker 1: um for the future. So you know, it's it's tough.
Speaker 1: It's tough, it really is, UM. But you know it's
Speaker 1: the learning process and it's something that you've got to
Speaker 1: make sure you take advantage of because you don't want
Speaker 1: to go through all that stuff and not learn anything
Speaker 1: from it. You know, we've got to take it, apply it,
Speaker 1: and move forward. The Raven's offensive line it starting to
Speaker 1: become more solidified. But Marshal, beyond the flip sides in
Speaker 1: your film study, I'm watching Marshal yonda whatever you've seen
Speaker 1: from him. What really stands out with you? Watching the player? Uh?
Speaker 1: You know, I think they utilize him well, UM, but
Speaker 1: I think that team is a whole, just their offense
Speaker 1: as a whole. Man, it's just really coming um, you
Speaker 1: know of whatever, you know, whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 1: They're really clicking. They're starting to click, they're starting to
Speaker 1: find their identity. Um and I think first and foremost
Speaker 1: it starts to Flacco, um, you know, running to play.
Speaker 1: So yeah, obviously he's a great player. But you know,
Speaker 1: as a whole, we've got it. They've they've got a
Speaker 1: lot of weapons, they've got a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of guys, um that we have to have to contain.
Speaker 1: It doesn't impact, but suspension. You wonder this last guy,
Speaker 1: wonder what the offense might have been if he had
Speaker 1: been there. I mean, you can't, you can't think about
Speaker 1: it like that. Man. You gotta the situation is what
Speaker 1: it is, and you've got to roll with it, you know.
Speaker 1: And it's always that's that's his league, you know, it's
Speaker 1: next man up. It's just like somebody getting injured, you
Speaker 1: know and um having to sit out. So um, you
Speaker 1: can't really I know, hey, right, it's h but you
Speaker 1: really can't. You can't really think about it like that.
Speaker 1: You know. You just gotta play with who's who's up?
Speaker 1: And uh move forward. You don't feel like class one guys.
Speaker 1: You don't feel like you you can lay it down a
Speaker 1: little man. That's a that's a question for Lane. Obviously
Speaker 1: he's got his own feelings. I think he's addressed that
Speaker 1: already to you guys, um, but no, for me, it's
Speaker 1: you've got to move forward with who you have. You
Speaker 1: can't focus on who you don't have. If you do that,
Speaker 1: you're in the wrong bit this. Your mind's in the
Speaker 1: wrong place too. Problem. M h m hm
