I'm not commenting on 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:34.120 any of that really at this point in time. But 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.599 the injury report will be coming out four o'clock. All right, 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:44.319 I guess that's it. 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:45.560 John. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:50.400 Do you spend any time this week with Eric dealing 0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.519 with the un even trade deadline or is that out 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:52.800 of your. 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.080 Michael, No, No, we'll we'll all we all have conversations about 0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:02.600 everything that can happen, and we'll talk about all those things. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:07.240 Done. The you know, the offense obviously had a big 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:11.280 week or last week, just curious seven games in now 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.920 your thoughts on todd and and scheme and what's impressed 0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.679 you and stood out as you said, you know. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:19.440 What you have the games on. 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:23.760 Yeah, I mean it's just like the overarching themes, the 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:28.600 big picture. You know, I don't know evaluations, that's for 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.120 another time. You know, we're just locked in trying to 0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:32.720 be the best team we can be this week against 0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:34.600 in this game. That's what you have to do. You 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:36.960 can't be thinking that way. So I can answer the 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:39.440 question and just tell you something that's just kind of 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.400 off the top of my head, but it wouldn't have 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:41.920 any meeting. 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.880 You know, we had a good game last week. 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:45.640 You gotta have the best game we can have this 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:48.560 week against a completely different defense, completely different situation. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:49.280 We're on the road. 0:01:49.920 --> 0:01:52.840 All those things change, So you know, that'll be our goal, 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.080 our mission. Just keep trying to have a good game 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.040 from week to week and overarchingly continue to improve and 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.920 get better at all the little things you do, because 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.440 if you don't improve, then you get you you know, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.000 you got to keep improving. So that's really that's the 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.120 one theme that I could probably share that that would 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:09.960 be in our minds as coaches and players right now. 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.480 Improvement or the steps are going into Oh there's about. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:15.200 A hundred of them. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.720 You know, we don't really have time to go through 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.520 all of them right now, but I appreciate you asking. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.200 I know you're you talked about how you were involved 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:25.320 in lamars, running and passing, how you're typically playing. You 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.400 guys have gotten off to some really good starts, and 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:30.200 how involved are you as far as the scripting of 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:33.240 the players, I mean, you know, the input and uh, 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.280 everything that goes into that. 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.520 I think we've done a good job scripting plays, you know. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.160 And you know, we've done a good job with starting 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.440 games obviously because we've executed well coming out. It's been 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.399 a big plus for us. I mean, obviously, you don't 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:46.679 want to start behind the eight ball. You want to 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:47.880 start with the lead. You want to get the lead, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.160 you want to extend the lead as much as you can. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:51.600 You want you want to create a good field position. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:53.920 Early we had games where we haven't had that, you know, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.080 and that's, uh, that becomes a challenge for you. You know, 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.240 It's it's hard to get jump started when you're backed up. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.079 So there's a lot of factors that go into that 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:01.200 and do the best you can with it. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.520 Every week, John, I know Arizona is a one win team, 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.680 but they've had some hard, pull up games this year. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.880 When you watch them, what what do you see on field? 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:10.760 Yeah, I mean I see a really a really tough team. 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.280 I mean, they got a lot of great players, and 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.680 they're they're they're uh, they're building in their new offense 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:15.760 and defensive systems. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:16.519 Uh. 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.320 They play super hard. Both sides of the ball are 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:18.960 very physical. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:19.680 Uh. 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.240 I just think it's a it's a young team. You've 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:23.680 got guys that boot a Bake over there. I mean, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:24.840 you know, that's one of the best players in the 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:28.120 National Football League. Uh, they're they're they're uh, they're impressive 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.320 with what you're trying to get done. They've been in 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.640 a lot of close games. Uh, they've been in games, 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.000 you know, in the fourth quarter they were one score 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.800 or less games or they had to lead, you know, 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:37.680 uh and then didn't finish. 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:37.880 You know. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:40.560 So I'm sure that's what they're talking about, is get 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.080 the game, you know, you know, play play hard, get 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.400 the game of the fourth court, and try to find 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.280 a way to finish the game. You know, That's that's 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:48.120 what any team will be talking about right now. And 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:49.840 I'm sure that's what they're talking about. 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:54.520 Honestly, you guys are comfortable with Hollyo market Marquis Brown, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.920 with him being out here. What have you seen from 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:00.160 him since his time in Arizona? Anything different in his 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:02.200 game from maybe when you guys had a meet or. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:03.720 Yeah, I mean you kind of look at him more 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.480 from a a standpoint of an opponent receiver at this point. 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:07.640 I mean, he's he looks good, you know. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.160 I mean obviously we've always respected him as a player, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.160 we love him as a person. 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.760 Uh, marquis a great guy. Uh, and he uh looks. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.680 Go out there, he's he's he's their number one target threat, 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.920 uh for sure at crossing the routes, salo routes, go routes, 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.120 over routes. I mean those are things that are just 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.080 uh his in his wheelhouse, you know, catch and run 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.400 on the run guy. So, uh, we'll have a hands 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:27.800 full of definitely be a guy that we're gonna know 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:28.560 his number out there. 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:29.680 Yeah. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.200 Could you mentioned the other day going out for early, 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.160 which I guess you guys would typically do from those 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.760 Western Coast games, you know, day early, and he's is 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:40.760 that something you know you figured out at some points 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.120 you just terms of getting guys adjusted or what what's 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.560 the thought process that it's gonna. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.240 Like try to just to the time a little bit. 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:46.480 Uh. 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:49.320 We've been doing that since, uh since nineteen ninety eight, 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:50.719 So it's worked. 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:55.240 That you could just opens done that and it's well. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.360 It's been good and you really don't see uh an 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.640 argument to to go out the day before going west. 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.440 But so that's cooing. 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:08.839 Kyle van Noy. What does he meant to your defense? 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:14.359 And have you noticed Kyle becoming more comfortable with the 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.840 defensive scheme and just being out there on game day 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.320 over the last couple of weeks because his his numbers showing. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:21.080 I think he's playing great, you know. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.560 I mean he came in, he wasn't in training camp anywhere, 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.800 so it's probably an element of getting in football shape. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.680 I think he's definitely working in the football shape there. 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.360 He's he was really strong at the end of the 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:36.000 game this last week and playing great football John Rookie receivers. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.120 So often take a longer time to get activated, trying 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.560 to find a way to get up out with day 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.160 from day one, he really just seemed to be ready 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.919 to go. He's very comfortable from the beginning why do 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.760 you think he's been so good at being ready to immediate. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:48.960 Well, I mean he's probably just a really great player, 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.000 you know, and that's why we drafted him where we did, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.040 you know. And but hey, listen, I mean it's it's 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.440 almost the middle of the season. He's got a challenge 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.039 in front of him. I don't think he's looking back, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.640 you know, to to say ask you that question. I 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.839 think he's looking forward to try to have the best 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.440 game that he can have on Sunday and help us 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:04.920 win the game. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:06.719 John. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.840 I think Nick Say talks about his teams of winning 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:10.640 rat poison. 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:11.600 When they're doing really well. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:14.840 Nick Sady talks about his teams are winning rat poison 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:19.680 when they're doing Yeah, if they're any kindatography for your guys. 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.240 Like Sunday, we talked to him along those lines. I mean, 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.000 that's something we talk about for sure. I don't really 0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:28.400 have a clever a clever rat poison comment. I'll try 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.440 to think of one next time. 0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:34.720 That was head coach John Harbaugh. We also heard from 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:36.719 quarterback Lamar and Jackson. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.760 That's what it's come down to, you know, as long 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.840 as you're winning, that's when you're getting all the praise. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:42.440 And stuff like that. 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:44.800 But once you lose or things don't look right, so 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.400 that's when the praise and stuff turns into something else. 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.200 So I'm just focusing on winning. We'll go from there. 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.640 That winning Cincinnati followed by lost in Indianapolis, the win 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.240 in Cleveland, followed by the struggles with Pittsburgh. 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:02.440 What do you think so far as prevented his team 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:04.720 from finding the week to week consistency where you guys 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.680 are able to kind of put forth consistent effort every week. 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:11.240 You didn't say we won in London and then we 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.120 won again, and then we came back and won again. 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:14.800 You didn't say that. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.920 So I believe we're going in the right direction right now. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.400 If anything, you need to keep going, like I said, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:21.360 keep being consistent. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.040 Do you believe in the idea of a trap game 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:25.760 or a leftout game or whatever you want to call it. 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.280 After you've had a big win, you know, and then 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:29.720 you play a team that you're expected to beat. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.080 I mean, do you have to fight that at all? 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.440 Or I believe you have a trap game or something 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.880 like that when you've been complecent or thinking the team 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:39.040 is okay, yeah, we we just beat this team thirty 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.480 something to six, So we're not rid about this team. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.440 I believe that's when that stuff pops into your brain. 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.680 But I don't believe our guys like that. You know, 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.160 we know it's any given Sunday, it's the NFL. You know, 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:51.200 anybody can be beaten. So we're just gonna go in there, 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.640 go out there to Arizona and fight our butt off. 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.400 I said, a lot more success last game than the 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.600 beating past. A game eight passes for twenty yards or more. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:01.000 One of the biggest skeed of that. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.400 And every how do you guys. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:07.200 Effect on preparation, everybody doing the assignments full speed? 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:09.360 Uh F, I don't know. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.760 God's was everybody was alive, you know, all of us 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:13.240 was alive, was on the same accord. 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.160 And that's what it needs to be every game. 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:17.800 Or what is it a a about, said Young? 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:20.120 Is that classis and that's clear to everybody that you 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.080 feel like he has allowed him to get off yourself 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:22.800 a fast start. 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.480 Sh Man, He's explosive, he wants to be great, you know, 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.000 he he's willing to learn, and he doing everything full 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:31.120 speed and that's what you need to do in the league, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.120 and everything full speed.

So just 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.600 letting them know, you know, it's your time, Like you said, 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.560 your time's gonna come. Opportunities gonna gonna happen.

Hey, when 0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.080 you're close to a teammate. Did he make some business 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:47.400 decision he wanted to be elsewhere? How do you how 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:49.079 do you see that? How do you describe that to 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:51.000 people who wonder how that happens? 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.319 I mean that that's his decision. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.880 You know, he gotta feed his family at the end 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.439 of the day, and he believes it's the right decision 0:09:57.480 --> 0:09:58.520 for him. 0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.800 That's that's on him. It's not on me. 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.400 It's not my decision to make. You know, he would 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.520 have still be been here if it was up to me. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.200 After I for a game like some of that, what 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.839 is kind of a film study except the coach to 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:12.320 you right, you played pretty well, didn't make a whole 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:13.800 lot of asacks. I mean, w what is the kind 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:15.120 of takeaways from after you? 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.840 GOVI was dom did go pretty much critiquing me for 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.480 the for the things I did wrong or stuff like that, 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:24.280 W which I do to myself anyways, So I'm I'm 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.000 pretty cool with that. You know, it's not really no 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:27.960 praise or anything like that in the meeting rooms. Just 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.319 how you can get better, you know, from the film 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.800 and then from the past game and on to the 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:34.199 next pretty much. 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.160 Lamar uh on Monday, Harves gave you guys's a lot 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:41.040 of qua being able to uh be successful when the 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.240 first play doesn't work. Thing like that Nelson agular play 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.160 where you're extending the play case that a is that 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:49.800 something that you really focus on as well? Kind of uh, 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.600 not just extending the play, but making something happen when 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:54.440 the the original play breaks down. 0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.440 To be honest, cry now, I try to focus on everything. 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.800 But yeah, like you said, you know, things don't don't 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:03.360 work out, you know, just try to go to the 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.160 next progression, you know, go scramber drill because we actually 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.920 did work on scrimbing drill. But go scrimbing drill. Hope 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:10.320 the guys get open, you know, and try to make 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:12.160 a play because we always trying to score. We're always 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.480 trying to keep the keep the ball rolling. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.440 So what do you know such a great command of 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.400 the offense, you know, just one scrimmage and throughout you 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.480 know the pass union and what has allowed back to. 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:29.600 Be the case watching film, Uh, just being locked in Uh, 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.520 when it starts in practice, practicing, trying to command the 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.360 offense and practice and it make the transition for the 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.720 game easy. 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.880 That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. He is really focused on 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.920 setting the tone this week as the Ravens know they 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.840 cannot get complacent after a big win on Sunday against 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:52.559 the Detroit Lions. Today, we also heard from veteran linebacker 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:56.080 Kyle van Noy. He joined the team earlier this year 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.319 and he clearly is flourishing here in Baltimore. 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.920 So what do you think has made is adjusted? It 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:05.440 seems like there has been no transition. Are you into 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.760 this defense? Why do you think that it's been such 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:13.760 a great transition for you? I think it'll start from me. Uh, 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.959 when I wasn't on a team. That started then when 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.640 I was working out by myself in my backyard with 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.400 my son watching and putting in the work when nobody 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.760 was watching, and then just being ready for that opportunity 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:32.480 when it came and the Ravens happened to be the team, 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.520 and it's been a great marriage so far. And you know, 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.120 just trying to be the best teammate and the best 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.439 pro I can be, and my coaches have done a 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.720 great job of putting me in places to succeed, and 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:50.120 then that tied into with my work ethic in the 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.400 off season and when no one was looking. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:54.880 Has set the tone. 0:12:56.920 --> 0:12:59.559 Culture and the lock rooms that makes the easiers come 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:03.120 in for everybody w each other. So did you feel 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.000 well this year? 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:04.920 Yeah? 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:08.640 The culture has been set I think before any of 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.640 the players that are here now, that's been set a 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.280 long time ago, especially on defense with the standard. So 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:19.360 me coming in and not only having a high standard 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.440 for myself but a standard that's already been set, it's 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.440 been pretty kind of easy to jump in because it's 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:31.320 like they've done something well for multiple years along like 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.720 decades now. So for me, it's just kind of being 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.760 the best pro I can be, play hard and make 0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.720 place and I've done that my whole career and just 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.320 trying to continue to do that for the Ravens and 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:47.319 for my teammates. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.440 Imagine you must have thought that coming in, you would 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.560 you would be knew what you were getting into. Like 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:53.800 you said, you had that idea. This has been here 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.480 for decades. Its defensively at standard, but it seems like 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.080 it's been even better. Is it even better what you've thought? 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.439 As hard being even your maybe what you thought it 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:02.520 might be from when you got here. 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:09.000 I think playing the NFL is never easy, But if 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:14.760 we're making it look easy, I guess that's good. I 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.200 mean it goes back to the work ethic that goes 0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:22.600 out on the practice facility and how guys take care 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.720 of their bodies and how they approach the game, and 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.400 the coaches and the game plan. So it's all tied 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.680 in hand, and we've been doing a really good job 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.640 and we only need to increase that urgency and continue 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.680 to build on what we have. They played on the 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:41.600 teams at Wow, that's impressive. Sorry, thank you for all 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:51.800 the questions. Sorry crazy great quarterbacks. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:54.360 Just I know you haven't been here for long, But 0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:57.000 how would you describe at level that the Mars when. 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:57.520 I have right now? 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.520 You got to say he's playing at an MVP level. 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.760 And you know, I think they take a lot of 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:10.200 pride in protecting Lamar and just how Lamar approaches the game. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.400 It starts at practice for him and the way he 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.280 holds himself to a high standard, and then everybody else 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.120 wants to be at that standard as well. He makes 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:25.680 practices competitive and it's really fun to be on the 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.280 opposite side, talking trash against him and competing with them 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.800 and just trying to make each other better. But it's 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.080 been awesome to see what he's doing on Sundays right now, 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:37.720 and it's a testament to who he is as a 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:42.240 person and a player. He's really taken the quarterback into 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:44.880 that next level that everybody wants to see. And I 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.440 think he knows he can even bring another another level 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.160 just the way he is as a person and as 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.120 a player. You know he knows there's another level. And 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.960 I'm excited to sit and watch that next level too 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:04.080 and not have to go against it. Say that one 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:04.920 more time. Sorry. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.960 Along those lines, You've seen a lot of great offenses, 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.000 think you've been a part of than just in the league. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:16.240 What's it like going against this offense in particular? Has 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.040 not to compare it to others, but how would you 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.960 sort of describe what it's like to go against them 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:20.920 in practice? 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.520 I mean, I can't really compare it because every offense 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.000 is different, and when you have a quarterback like that, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.920 it's he's one of one. I don't think there hasn't 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.480 been many like him ever to play the game, So 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:36.800 it's hard to compare it. It's just you know what 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:41.320 he's doing and how he's progressed, and his passing game 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:46.240 approach has been really really awesome to see and awesome 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.840 for him to grow. He's always known he's had that, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:52.200 and I think it's awesome to see it on display. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.920 You were talking about the motivation, it's to kind of 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.200 keep working out when. 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.240 Nobody's watching your backyard or with your son, who as 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:00.800 a great coach. 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.560 What keeps that fire burning at that time when no 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:07.480 one is calling and you're just working out. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:07.720 On your own. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:13.679 That's a good question. Honestly, I think it's just me 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:18.920 as who I am. I haven't been satisfied all the way. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.120 There's been some seasons that have gone well, some seasons 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:26.520 that have been not so well for me, and I 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.760 just feel like I have a lot more in the tank. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.439 I feel like I'm in my prime. I know this 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.719 is a what everyone says, a young man's league, but 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:39.000 I believe it's also an experienced man league. I fall 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:42.359 in line in that experienced and I hope to continue 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:45.879 to develop as a player and help my teammates and 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.639 then just win games. I mean that's one thing about me, 0:17:48.760 --> 0:17:50.960 is I win games I win more than I lose, 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.080 and I hope to continue that streak. O. 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.760
