Speaker 3: there's big credentials.
Speaker 2: So we had a good practice and we're excited about
Speaker 2: out what we've accomplished, looking forward to where we're going. Uh,
Speaker 2: even though the players will be away, they'll still be
Speaker 2: training and working to get ready for training camp and
Speaker 2: what's in store there.
Speaker 3: So that's our next step. What question do you have.
Speaker 5: John, He's did see Marling out there and we haven't
Speaker 5: seen him and he'll do a lot of it.
Speaker 2: What's what's Yeah, just nagging things he'll be he'll he
Speaker 2: should be ready for training camp.
Speaker 3: Shouldn't be a problem coach we have.
Speaker 4: We'll see Charlie Klar got a little buffer this year.
Speaker 6: Is that a little boost of confidence for his position?
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks good. Charlie's worked really hard.
Speaker 2: He has put on a lot of muscle, lean muscle mass,
Speaker 2: and I know he's committed to, you know, all the
Speaker 2: aspects of being a good tight end.
Speaker 3: He wants to be a really good blocker.
Speaker 2: I mean that's important to him and uh you know
Speaker 2: he's preparing himself just for that.
Speaker 6: A pro bowler, been here for all voluntary workouts. Man
Speaker 6: a big day to day with us play. This has
Speaker 6: a game by example of guys.
Speaker 2: That's exactly what he does to I mean he does
Speaker 2: lead by example. Not he doesn't, but he does it
Speaker 2: every way. And he's also a vocal leader. He's also
Speaker 2: a kind of an inspirational leader. He does it on
Speaker 2: the field, he does it in the weight room, he
Speaker 2: does it in the meeting room. He's just he's one
Speaker 2: of those guys, you know, one of those special kind
Speaker 2: of guys.
Speaker 7: Coach, are guys able to separate it all without pads
Speaker 7: on the offensive line?
Speaker 3: Uh No, not really, not really. That's that'll be for
Speaker 3: training camp.
Speaker 2: I think they've done all those guys have done what
Speaker 2: they need to do in terms of preparing for that.
Speaker 2: But that'll happen first few weeks of training camp and
Speaker 2: then on into the preseason games.
Speaker 3: We'll see where we go.
Speaker 5: What you considering a candeer ishmail the tight endslhim working
Speaker 5: some individual caneer Ishmael was working with the tight ends
Speaker 5: for individuals.
Speaker 6: Is that a consideration of.
Speaker 5: Having him work in in that position or just exploring options?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it's exploring options and so
Speaker 2: everything nowadays you put them in groups, you call them
Speaker 2: tight ends and wide receivers, but a lot of times
Speaker 2: they do the same jobs, you know, So having them
Speaker 2: over the work on some of those techniques was what
Speaker 2: we were doing. And he'll probably be kind of an
Speaker 2: inside receiver type of a guy. Not say he couldn't
Speaker 2: go outside and go getes and things like that, he's
Speaker 2: so big, but I would say he's really he's really
Speaker 2: looked good. I mean, he's had a nice camp signs
Speaker 2: a tryout player. Obviously he's got a family pedigree. It's incredible,
Speaker 2: but he's doing it on all his own and he's
Speaker 2: he's made a couple of catches today. Look good out there,
Speaker 2: Like you know what we can do over the last
Speaker 2: couple of years, and he's made quite a few wild
Speaker 2: plays this week.
Speaker 6: How Pus' been with his name?
Speaker 2: Happy with Isaiah, I guess as expected, you know, and
Speaker 2: work ethic too, locked in every single day, been here
Speaker 2: every day. Another guy who's been here every day. Have
Speaker 2: so many of the guys that have done that, and
Speaker 2: it shows. So he's talented. He's gonna be a big
Speaker 2: part of what we do.
Speaker 7: Joying.
Speaker 4: A few days ago, you told Jerry Coleman that one
Speaker 4: of your big takeaways from AC Championship is that you
Speaker 4: want to get the ball more in the quarterbacks hands.
Speaker 1: What does that look like you so far?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're talking about all the pre snap stuff,
Speaker 2: operational type stuff at the line and in the huddle,
Speaker 2: out of the huddle at the line, try to make
Speaker 2: some decisions at the line in terms of growing the
Speaker 2: offense in that direction. It's looked good, good, but we
Speaker 2: still have a long way to go. I think everybody
Speaker 2: would tell you that we've got a lot of work
Speaker 2: to do with that, and it will be an ongoing
Speaker 2: process throughout the season for sure, but that's the direction
Speaker 2: we're going.
Speaker 6: John. Obviously, though I had to take for Trenton six
Speaker 6: instead of at innsis linebacker. How he's handled out this
Speaker 6: string running with the WANs teams, Well, I.
Speaker 2: Think I think he has looked really good. You know,
Speaker 2: I think he's done a great job. Trenton is uh,
Speaker 2: he's he's a quick learner. Something even as simple as
Speaker 2: pump protection footwork, which he was as he played a
Speaker 2: little bit as a rookie first couple of days of
Speaker 2: the Phase.
Speaker 3: Two stuff, he really didn't look very good with the footwork.
Speaker 2: You know, like everything else, we're chasing perfection and we're
Speaker 2: confronting every issue. We confronted the punt footwork, and now
Speaker 2: he looks fantastic. I mean, he's perfect in what he's
Speaker 2: doing out there. I think that is kind of an
Speaker 2: example of all the other stuff he's doing on defense.
Speaker 3: He knows what he's doing out there. Now.
Speaker 2: The next step will be training camp, preseason games and
Speaker 2: on from there.
Speaker 3: John records another.
Speaker 6: Six down out of town paid. He feels a little
Speaker 6: quicker than last year.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: There the games that the questioning Paul about how we
Speaker 3: got kind of.
Speaker 6: You get him Chunch in the office saw that looked out.
Speaker 6: How do you say that they've an answer of growing
Speaker 6: or you.
Speaker 3: Know, how do you how do you do that? That
Speaker 3: will kind of.
Speaker 9: A sea that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it'll it'll it'll evolve kind of the
Speaker 2: direction that goes in terms of where the offense goes
Speaker 2: and what we need. But there's always gonna be a
Speaker 2: requirement for a guy like Pat. If you have a
Speaker 2: guy like Pat and uh, I mean the questions last
Speaker 2: year were pretty much kind of debunked and he played
Speaker 2: a lot, and I think that's gonna be the same
Speaker 2: thing this year. I mean, you got a good football player,
Speaker 2: you gott put him out there. So he'll be out
Speaker 2: there playing and we'll find a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of great roles for him to do. I mean, the
Speaker 2: nice thing is he can he can actually run routes
Speaker 2: and catch the ball, you know, and that's something that
Speaker 2: people kind of take for granted that he wouldn't be
Speaker 2: able to do. He's always I mean, I can remember
Speaker 2: I can remember Coach Phillips out here. I love Coach
Speaker 2: Phillips out here when his defensive coordinator for the Rams
Speaker 2: basically saying, you know what, what's Pat's number?
Speaker 3: Forty two?
Speaker 2: He goes, don't cover forty two. He's a defensive Lineman.
Speaker 2: You know, very next play touchdown passing the flat. You
Speaker 2: know that's right, don't cover forty two.
Speaker 5: John, what's kind of the getaway message to the guys
Speaker 5: and you know, kind of your message to them as
Speaker 5: they go on this kind of six week break on
Speaker 5: their own before Rob.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of good messages, probably the ones
Speaker 2: you'd expect to hear, but it really is an intentionality
Speaker 2: to everything we do. Uh, there should be a plan
Speaker 2: in terms of what we're trying to accomplish every day.
Speaker 2: You know, So what are you trying accomplish for the
Speaker 2: next weeks that lead into training camp to put you
Speaker 2: in position to have the best training camp, to handle
Speaker 2: the loads involved, become the best team we can be,
Speaker 2: and to be intentional about that every single day. That's
Speaker 2: the you know, the core of the message.
Speaker 7: Washington, a guy that's definitely intreats kind of flashed out
Speaker 7: there and practice a lot.
Speaker 6: Or gariusa Washing.
Speaker 2: I thought there's gonna be more are uh he our
Speaker 2: Darius looked really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel great about him.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's I think he established, he's already established himself.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, he's played in the game every game,
Speaker 2: he's played and he's played well, he's looked great in practice,
Speaker 2: and uh, let's get him out there and get him
Speaker 2: in some more games. I think that's the goal. Coach,
Speaker 2: knowing that he came control the rob Away, Lamar was
Speaker 2: bench brush songs atout.
Speaker 4: Trying to get these guys together.
Speaker 6: Or is he or hope that they will get together?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's how you word the question.
Speaker 2: Obviously he was he was going to get try to
Speaker 2: get those guys together, and he's excited about that.
Speaker 3: And that's great, that's cool, John excited. I'm looking forward
Speaker 3: to it, you know.
Speaker 2: I guess I mean, how excited was I to face
Speaker 2: off against him and drive away when we were playing
Speaker 2: you know, one on one hockey or one on one
Speaker 2: basketball wrestling and when my dad said put the gloves on,
Speaker 2: going to the basement if you want to fight each
Speaker 2: other all the time.
Speaker 3: So I guess it was kind of exciting.
Speaker 2: But then again, you know, it wasn't that great, you know,
Speaker 2: especially when he got bigger, you got to be more
Speaker 2: a little more challenging. So I think more than that
Speaker 2: day will come when it comes. So we're not really
Speaker 2: thinking about it too much, but when it comes, it'll
Speaker 2: be kind of cool. It'll be it'll be a start.
Speaker 9: Taking the chances.
Speaker 6: The quarterback. Why, what have you see from the end
Speaker 6: of his train?
Speaker 3: I think the leaks look good.
Speaker 2: At wide receiver, he's he's shown a lot of a
Speaker 2: lot of speed, a lot of quickness, kind of a natural,
Speaker 2: kind of a natural at the position.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: And he also I've seen that he understands the game
Speaker 2: from the perspective of the quarterback. So routes and coverage
Speaker 2: and timing and things.
Speaker 3: Like that have been excellent.
Speaker 1: We also talked with a pair of veterans, including veteran
Speaker 1: outside linebacker Kyle van Noy, who resigned with the team
Speaker 1: this offseason. He discussed the decision to return here to
Speaker 1: Baltimore and the expectations he has for the upcoming season.
Speaker 3: Feel great, How do you feel good?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Excited to be here, pump to be a raven pump
Speaker 8: to go in to year eleven. Not many people get
Speaker 8: to say they did that. I beat Aaron Donald in
Speaker 8: one thing, right?
Speaker 7: How is it coming in after some time under your belt?
Speaker 7: Last year you performed remarkably well from coming off the
Speaker 7: couch here.
Speaker 6: Now you've had a chance changing numbers up I mean
Speaker 6: now you're a raven. How much different does it get you?
Speaker 8: You know, the biggest difference is that everybody knows me now,
Speaker 8: right the staff behind the scenes, just getting to know
Speaker 8: them and their families, knowing them, just that relationship and
Speaker 8: just coming back with the guys that I already know,
Speaker 8: having that relationship with guys like Kyle Hamilton, Rokwan.
Speaker 3: Doff and Jabo.
Speaker 8: Just guys like that that you get to come back
Speaker 8: with with familiar faces and get to know better. And
Speaker 8: just knowing the defense. I mean, that helps coming back
Speaker 8: and you know what you're doing. That just makes you
Speaker 8: and allows you to play a little bit faster.
Speaker 3: In January, did you have the sense that you would
Speaker 3: be that Yeah.
Speaker 8: I always keep an open mind to everything. I felt
Speaker 8: like we had a good relationship and it was open communication.
Speaker 8: We felt like it was benefit to both parties. And
Speaker 8: I'm happy to be here. Appreciate boss Man, mister B
Speaker 8: and DC and Harves for making that happen. Just pumped
Speaker 8: to be back with the teammates and you know, repent
Speaker 8: for our sins after last year.
Speaker 2: As you were making your decision, how much of a
Speaker 2: factor did it play that Zach War was gonna be stepping.
Speaker 3: Into mag McDonald's year.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I love Zeo, big fan of his, have been
Speaker 8: since he's played. He played the right way when he played,
Speaker 8: and he coaches the right way too. You know, Mike
Speaker 8: mack going on moving on, congrats to him again, Like
Speaker 8: it's awesome to see him and his efforts of what
Speaker 8: he did and he got the benefits of that of
Speaker 8: becoming a head coach, which I believe he was ready for,
Speaker 8: and Zeo stepping in and he's gonna do a great job.
Speaker 8: He has a relationship, I would say, with everybody on defense,
Speaker 8: and you don't see that everywhere you go. Zeo passions
Speaker 8: himself on relationships and communication. He does. He's done a
Speaker 8: really good job of communicating what he wants done and
Speaker 8: you better do it.
Speaker 3: Some of the biggest differences you've seen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't think I'll go into the specifics of
Speaker 8: that because you know, they both stem from the same tree, right,
Speaker 8: but they're both different at the same time. You know,
Speaker 8: Mike McDonald had his style and Zo has his style.
Speaker 8: I'm excited about Zeo's style. I think, uh, it's going
Speaker 8: to continue to flood into the NFL because of what
Speaker 8: they've been able to do here for so long, and
Speaker 8: I believe we're going to be a very very good defense.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 8: And it starts with him and then, uh, it starts
Speaker 8: with the rest of the players, executing all eleven of
Speaker 8: us each and every play.
Speaker 6: It seems like that can be.
Speaker 1: Kind of aggressive plays that kind of reality.
Speaker 3: Do you know he's aggressive?
Speaker 1: Do you think that the piece of his you know,
Speaker 1: as he calls plays, you know, his early years.
Speaker 8: That that can be the piece of Yeah. I he
Speaker 8: was a g aggressive player, So I think that's what
Speaker 8: you're gonna wanna see him as a decoordinator as be aggressive,
Speaker 8: But he's also gonna be He's really smart, very very smart.
Speaker 8: He knows defenses. Uh, he's he eats breeze, sleeps uh football.
Speaker 8: And that's what you want playing for a coach like
Speaker 8: that who has literally dedicated his I believe it's thirty
Speaker 8: two years now of just straight football.
Speaker 6: Where is your your thoughts on a young second player Robinson? Yeah,
Speaker 6: playing alongside what we see from him, you know his beat.
Speaker 8: Yeah, honestly getting better every day. And I know that's
Speaker 8: cliche to say, but he's honestly getting better each and
Speaker 8: every day. He's doing the right things. And I when
Speaker 8: every time you understand concepts and defenses and you graduate
Speaker 8: from football one on one to football one oh two,
Speaker 8: you're gonna see improvements. And I think just his familiarity
Speaker 8: of understanding the defense more and more each day, he's
Speaker 8: allowed to play faster, play with more confidence and swagger.
Speaker 8: And that's I think what we're gonna see this year, Kyle.
Speaker 9: Last year you just had to jump into action. This year,
Speaker 9: you're gonna spend more time with the team, the coaches,
Speaker 9: the staff. Like you said, are you finding benefits in that,
Speaker 9: both like for yourself and for your ability to lead
Speaker 9: the defense?
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's it's good because the I'd say
Speaker 8: this without you know, saying it in the wrong way.
Speaker 8: The bullets aren't flying yet, so you get you get
Speaker 8: a better understanding that things are a little bit more.
Speaker 8: You can build relationships you're not you know, on the field,
Speaker 8: you know, popping in week three actions, going on, hey,
Speaker 8: you know, what's your name type of deal. So it's
Speaker 8: fun to be around guys that I know and get
Speaker 8: to know them their families, hang out with them off
Speaker 8: the field, build that relationship to when things get on
Speaker 8: the field and a little hazy, you have a better
Speaker 8: understanding where each and every persons coming from. Way.
Speaker 7: You spent a lot of time with the You saw
Speaker 7: him obviously growing last year.
Speaker 6: Just knowing it's down and where where he could grow.
Speaker 5: Where do you think his ceiling is or how much
Speaker 5: better did he even from where he's already done.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's impressive, man, He's a specimen. Really enjoyed working
Speaker 8: with him building that relationship. I think he kind of
Speaker 8: I try to keep him next to me all the
Speaker 8: time and make sure he's, you know, always pressing and
Speaker 8: doing the right thing. And you know, I expect high
Speaker 8: high I expect more from him than myself. You know,
Speaker 8: I really expect him to bounce off the charts this year.
Speaker 8: He showed a lot of signs last year, but I
Speaker 8: think him gaining confidence, you know, understanding who he is.
Speaker 8: He's still maturing. I just asked him how the hell
Speaker 8: old was he today? And he said twenty five, and
Speaker 8: I was like, oh, you know, it's amazing to see
Speaker 8: how mature he's gotten already. And I'm excited to see
Speaker 8: his future. And I'll be his cheerleader, that's for sure,
Speaker 8: because I'm I'm sorry I'm saying this again, but I'm
Speaker 8: really excited to see his how high of his ceiling
Speaker 8: he can get to.
Speaker 6: Well to ask last.
Speaker 5: Season, how much did that rejuvenate you in your career?
Speaker 5: And you're talking about expectations for oh Way, you know,
Speaker 5: coming off that year. What are the expectations for yourself coming.
Speaker 9: Into this season?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I just want to continue to show
Speaker 8: myself and show people that I can still play at
Speaker 8: a high level. I feel like I've been underappreciated in
Speaker 8: my career. I feel like I don't think I've lost
Speaker 8: a step in my eyes just because I've I've been
Speaker 8: playing different positions my entire career. In college, I played
Speaker 8: on the ball, and then in the NFL for my
Speaker 8: first I think it was till twenty nineteen, I played
Speaker 8: off the ball, and I would love to see how
Speaker 8: many people could stay in the league making that transformation
Speaker 8: or I've been asked to do both in one season.
Speaker 8: So I've been asked to do a lot, and I
Speaker 8: think that may have hindered some things because I wasn't
Speaker 8: able to like focus on you know, pass rush or
Speaker 8: you know, you know, covering people. I was never able
Speaker 8: to focus on just one specific thing. And this year
Speaker 8: stemming to last year, I was able to focus on
Speaker 8: pass rushing that entire time. So I feel like, hopefully,
Speaker 8: you know, it'll be like my third year ever out
Speaker 8: of my eleven, then I get a focus on just
Speaker 8: pass rushing. The other year was in twenty nineteen where
Speaker 8: I had a really good year, and then last year
Speaker 8: was just all pass rush. So I'm expecting big things
Speaker 8: from myself and hopefully you guys are too.
Speaker 1: Safety Marcus Williams is also a really important player on
Speaker 1: this scene. He dealt with an injury last year that
Speaker 1: hindered him for much of the season, but he played
Speaker 1: through it. Clearly did not want to talk about his
Speaker 1: injury on Thursday. His focus is on the future. Here's
Speaker 1: what he had to say in his time with the media.
Speaker 6: Last year, the injury, how much I guess, how how
Speaker 6: much moment not the ball was it?
Speaker 7: You guys, Uh, injuries happened in the year, and you
Speaker 7: just got to overcome those injuries and you know, just
Speaker 7: push past them, which I think I'm pretty good at doing.
Speaker 6: Mark been one of those goal players.
Speaker 9: In the field the last couple of weeks. Is that
Speaker 9: your natural personality come out or are you more intentionally
Speaker 9: embracing that leadership role in the second Aarreya.
Speaker 7: I mean I've always been a leader, I've always been vocal.
Speaker 7: I mean that's just something I've been doing. I mean,
Speaker 7: if you've been out here the last couple of years
Speaker 7: that I've been here, I've been doing the same thing.
Speaker 7: So it's nothing new to me. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 7: just something that's true to me.
Speaker 2: Mark, what was your reaction Zach Org got the decordinator job,
Speaker 2: and you know how much have you interacted with him
Speaker 2: and the previous two years.
Speaker 7: I'm excited. You know, you got a guy who's been
Speaker 7: out there on the field, done what we've done, and
Speaker 7: and now he's transitioning to the DC job, which I
Speaker 7: think is doing a good job of. Right now, he's
Speaker 7: gonna put it to some some good positions to make
Speaker 7: some plays and you know, dialup, dialed up. So I'm
Speaker 7: excited to see, you know, what our future holds for
Speaker 7: for this year. And I hope he, you know, comes
Speaker 7: out there and does exactly what he knows he's gonna do.
Speaker 7: What do you think is Zacht has to look like
Speaker 7: his defense. I'm surprised at the ascension of Kyle Hamilton,
Speaker 7: And do you take any responsibility in helping him to
Speaker 7: get to.
Speaker 6: The level where he is now.
Speaker 7: Kyle has always been a good player. You know, he's
Speaker 7: worked his butt off day in and day out. I mean,
Speaker 7: you know, I helped him here and there, but that's all.
Speaker 7: That's all he's doing. That's his work, his off season work,
Speaker 7: his film room work. You know, I don't take credit
Speaker 7: for any of the stuff that he'd done. You know,
Speaker 7: he's a great player. He's putting the time and the
Speaker 7: effort to go out there and make those plays. He's
Speaker 7: confident and you see that by his play. So I
Speaker 7: think just him just putting that time in and respecting
Speaker 7: the process. He comes out there and he performs.
Speaker 6: He played through that injury, right through that injury last year.
Speaker 9: How eager are you to show everybody what you.
Speaker 6: Can do when you're too fully functioning?
Speaker 7: My charms, yeah, I mean my arms are always functioning.
Speaker 7: It's not about showing anybody Anything's about showing myself what
Speaker 7: I could do. I never worry about showing anybody what
Speaker 7: I could do. I just stay true to me, go
Speaker 7: out there, perform to the best of my ability, no
Speaker 7: matter what's going on. And and that's just as football
Speaker 7: players you gotta you know, overcome adversity and face that
Speaker 7: looking an eye and and just never give up.
Speaker 1: In the secondary, like yourself, young players and talking out,
Speaker 1: but what do you think the expectations are the secondary.
Speaker 7: I think we just gotta, you know, find that identity
Speaker 7: coming out in training camp. I mean, that's the that's
Speaker 7: the most important thing. Have that good camaraderie. And I think,
Speaker 7: you know, this is the new years. This is not
Speaker 7: who we were last year. So now we gotta you know,
Speaker 7: bond over again and and reconnect on that level. But
Speaker 7: I think we'll be some you know, high playmakers back there,
Speaker 7: you know, physical guys attacking the ball and take the
Speaker 7: ball away.
Speaker 5: Marcus Alono's line, if you guys have used a lot
Speaker 5: of free safety books the last couple of years, and
Speaker 5: obviously Jenas would gone like a free.
Speaker 9: Agency would have been some of your impuestions, especially with
Speaker 9: Kyle missing a little bit of time recently.
Speaker 6: But are they arius Washington trade woring some of those
Speaker 6: young safeties and.
Speaker 7: Work last Yeah? I mean we I mean it's always
Speaker 7: been like next man of mentality if even if somebody's
Speaker 7: not here right now, we're all still working and he's
Speaker 7: still out here acting as if he's a coach. Kyle
Speaker 7: thinks he's a coach now or something. But nah, I
Speaker 7: think they're doing a great job learning to playbook, and
Speaker 7: everybody's pretty much in interchangeable in our defense, So everybody
Speaker 7: learns every position so they know what to do. And
Speaker 7: I think just going out there and having it in
Speaker 7: practice helping us perform for the upcoming seasons.
Speaker 6: A million rankings that come out without players. I think
Speaker 6: you and Kyle somebody could have something to say. It's
Speaker 6: the best safety in the league. Just your thoughts about
Speaker 6: that and kind of what you too want to share
Speaker 6: together this year.
Speaker 7: Uh, rankings don't mean anything. I mean, performance from last
Speaker 7: year is not performed from this year. We know we
Speaker 7: could do. We know what type of players we are.
Speaker 7: You know, we're confident in ourselves. I mean, I think
Speaker 7: I'm the best. He thinks he's the best, So everybody
Speaker 7: thinks they're the best. But who who performs the best?
Speaker 7: You know what I mean? So, I mean, I think
Speaker 7: our expectation is to be our best, to excel past
Speaker 7: our best and go out there and perform and help
Speaker 7: us win some games.
Speaker 6: What's the message as a US.
