Man? 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:54.600 The blessing is I mean it's the same defense, you 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:56.560 know what I mean, we have the same terminology, so 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.920 it'll be able to I've been translating very well. And 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.800 then just the extra one on one time with my 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:02.920 coaches and you know, studying film on my own at 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.520 home more often has made the transition a lot easier 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:05.880 for sure. 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:07.880 Is happy? 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:11.720 And did you flip a switch on the field. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.400 On the tenacity? 0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.800 Yeah, when we get between those lines, you know, it's 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:18.680 it's a whole another person. But you know, outside the ball, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.240 you know, I'm just loving outgoing. But when it's time 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:22.800 to put that helmet on this, you know it's time 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.760 to go. So you know, you know, you gotta have 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:26.400 that switch as a football player, But when it's time 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:27.800 to get in the lines, you know it's go time. 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:28.200 For sure. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.360 We also heard from veteran wide receiver Nelson Agawar. 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:40.640 Guys like yourself had a year job system, how much more? 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:42.880 I guess how much help would you think that would 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.160 be for the guys coming back to be in. 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:45.640 The here too. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.559 Uh, it's a it's very helpful because we know how 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.200 he thinks, and even in this. 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.640 This off season, he's done a really good. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.560 Job of allowing us to die even deeper in his 0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.400 thought process and how he sees his offense working between 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.880 him coach Harrorball, you know T Martin, you know coach. 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:05.880 Lewis, our receiver coach. 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.199 Everybody wants us to truly understand the objective, why we're 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:12.679 running routes, why we're getting out of routes, what we're 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.760 seeing from defenses, and what it looks like for us 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.760 to you know, do what we need to do well newly. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:19.960 From from year one year two. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:20.920 I know these are kind of. 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:23.800 Early days in the install, but how much would you 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.199 say it's changed for for this offense? 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.880 First, I mean, familiarity is are positive, so we're more familiar. 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.200 So in terms of change, I would say it's just 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.440 a better understanding. Better understanding allows you to play fast. 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.559 Better understanding allows you to make adjustments. So the change 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:45.160 is more of the knowledge and how we're teaching things 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.800 that work really well and how we're trying to eliminate things. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.520 That we may have struggled at. That's what got better 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:53.120 in the. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.559 Last game in the playoffs is always one that the 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:57.520 second guys who asked a couple of guys felt like, 0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.199 you know, how they're moving on for some you guys 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.320 are just thinking about some guys are moving on our. 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:05.280 Our you approaching that Kansas City game that is in 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:06.000 the last season. 0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.040 Uh, I probably have a different pos than most because 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.199 it each year has a new life. You're always motivated 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:20.440 by shortcomings, but you also have to embrace the new opportunity. 0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:23.520 Everybody has the same goal right now in the NFL. 0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.959 Every player has the same goal, every team has the 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.280 same goal, and that's to get the Lombardi. So what 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:34.960 happened last season can fuel you in terms of your focus, 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:36.200 but you have. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:37.800 To be present with what you're being taught. 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:42.200 Now knows you're signing the the extension. I guess how 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.400 did that come about? Why did you want to be 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.040 here longer? 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:46.160 And what are your goals? 0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.680 Just you know in this next year. 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.360 Well, first of all. I'm blessed to be in your ten. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:53.720 Like I mean, if you told me as a child 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.240 I played ten years in the National Football League and 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.280 feel the way I feel, I would scratch my head 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.480 cause I feel may I have a lot of fun 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.719 doing what I do. I mean, I run all day 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:07.240 and have a good time, So that's a blessing. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:11.000 But then to do it here, this place makes it 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.359 even more enjoyable. 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.800 You know, this is family, this is home, familiarity, and 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:19.440 just a great group of dudes, from my quarterback to 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.120 the guys I play receive you with, to the guys 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.160 I practice with every day on the defensive side of 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:23.480 the ball. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:26.080 They make me better, but we also just enjoy each other. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.200 So I couldn't be more happy that I got to 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.120 play year ten in Baltimore and live here and do 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:32.560 what I do. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.640 You're in your tens days in your two, Chelle, it's 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:37.040 in your four. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.359 What do you think we're gonna sit in these twos? Competition? 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.120 They're gonna compete, They can get better. They make a 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:43.720 lot of plays. 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.680 I think those two guys are two very electric players, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.560 but also two very tough minded dudes, And that's what 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:56.040 you get from veterans, you get tough, minded, you get resilient. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.240 Where next play mentality because if everybody thought that you're 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:01.800 gonna be perfect week in and. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:02.920 Week out, that's a lie. 0:12:03.280 --> 0:12:06.280 A veteran, it separates himself from a rookie because he 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.920 has a next play mentality and he's able to bounce back. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.000 When things don't go ideal. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:12.920 And I think those two guys have done a great 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.520 job of that. You know, Bateman has done an amazing job. 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.240 And say, man, he's he's hungry, he's hungry and he's 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:19.880 a great player. 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:22.040 No, yeah, I think you've worked out with him a 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:25.760 couple of times on your own asse. What's stuck out 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.760 to you about just what it's like working out with him? 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.000 I just love the way he likes to work, honestly. 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.320 You know, he's a young dude that loves football. He 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.400 loves grinding. He loves just anything about it. Whether we're 0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.560 out running, whether we're speed training, whether we're weightlifting, whether 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:45.000 we're doing recovery. He's embraced everything I've kind of introduced 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.520 him to or ideas he's had. He's like, Yo, Nell, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.280 you want to join me with this? Or Nelly, can 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:52.480 I join you with that and it's cool because you 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.680 know that's where the brotherhood comes from. And that's when 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.800 you know crucial situation, third and whatever. You know, you 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.240 trust each other and you work well for each other. 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:05.400 Know when you think of the two rookie corners, TJ. 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.960 Tampa and UH Wiggins, Uh, what do you? What have 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:09.760 you seen from them? 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:10.400 And U? What do you? 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.680 What is it like when you're lining up against these guys, 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.120 When you're the veteran corn up against some of these 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:16.760 rookies that you approach it differently? 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:17.320 How do you go? 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.280 First thing I do is I I truly wanna make 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.959 them feel comfortable in terms of like, I'm happy you 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:24.680 are here because they will make. 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.120 Us a better football team. I truly believe that. 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.200 And then when we compete, if I even get one 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:32.880 little bit on them, I'll let them know so they 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.440 could feel like, man, I'm not gonna let this old 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.600 head like you know what I'm saying. 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:36.680 Like it's a good thing. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.200 And they're both super competitive and they have great feed 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:40.960 and they got good feel and they're gonna get better. 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.439 It's my job as an older guy to be present 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.440 and alive when I go against them. I can't relax 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.160 I have to like do things different things I know 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.200 from creativity, from guys I've learned from back in the day, 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:54.920 and also share some information. 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:55.880 I know of other. 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.360 Corners I've gone against, but I think they're too talented dudes, 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:00.679 and I'm great to play with him. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.120 You guys have a lot of confidence in Josh as quarterback. 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:05.920 But what's it like to have when you have a 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:06.680 practice in and. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:08.640 You have Lamar after a throwing the ball, I mean 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.319 Lamar Jackson's Lamar Jackson. You know, he does an amazing job, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.880 you know, just kind of going through his progression. You know, 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.840 he has unreal arm angles, but he also just knows 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.520 how to see everything the way he needs to see 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.160 it in the game, and you know, when the defense 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.520 is giving you something, does a great job. But like 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.880 you started, you're talking about Josh, Josh has done an 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:30.200 amazing job this offseason. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.800 You know, he just continues to lead. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.080 He continues to like put everybody in position, and he's 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.760 also doing a good job helping the two younger quarterbacks. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.120 You know, and and Lamar does a great job because 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.640 those two young quarterbacks see a guy just execute. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.480 And just have command. Lamar has command without it being 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.520 overly like, uh, he could just do it. You know, 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.120 he does it and we understand it. 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:55.040 Speaking of Lamar, looks like you joined you know, him 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.560 and Zay down in South Florida. I think it was 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.200 last week. Did you did you run you know, run 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.480 stuff with them? And what kind of stuff did you 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.120 did You all sort of work on talk. 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:09.920 About top secret, but we were were training getting better. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.960 You know, we're all Floridians, so we enjoy training down 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.160 there in that heat and it's a good time. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:18.880 And what do you see just from him? I know 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.280 it's obviously early days, but you know from your first 0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.320 impressions that you got here last year to now. 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.000 I mean I I I got to spend time with 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:30.200 him last all season also, and I just I always say, 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:35.200
