It is Saturday, 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.400 July twenty seventh. The Ravens wrapped up their sixth practice 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.960 of training camp as Lamar Jackson returned from illness and 0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.280 was on the field for the first time since Wednesday. 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.760 Jackson's presidence brought an extra jolde of energy to today, 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.640 and fans cheered lally when he jibed onto the field. 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:27.240 After practice, head coach John Harball talked about Lamar coming 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.400 back and said that the practice was dedicated to former 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.160 Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones. 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.440 Hey, everybody, great to see you here. Appreciate you being here. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:45.240 Big day, second day in pads, and also a celebration 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.559 of Jacoby Jones. We dedicated the practice today to Jacoby 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.159 Jones because we got a chance to come out here 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.480 and do what he'd loved to do so much. And 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.640 it really couldn't have been any more fitting than They 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.320 have almost fifty teams here, youth football teams including girls 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.319 flag teams here yelling all practice and you heard him right, 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.280 I mean it was it was pretty loud out there. 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:07.280 I had a little substitution issues, I think because of 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.760 the crowd noise, so that was fun. But in honor 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.199 of Jacoby and his uh, his amazing energy and smile 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.440 and love for the game and love for life, I 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.279 will dedicate that effort to him. All right, what questions 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:20.840 you have, John. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.600 Lamar was out there today? From from your viewpoint, how 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.479 did he make it out of out of practice today? 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.120 Yeah? I thought he did really well. I mean you 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.200 especially considering the fact that he's had to come back 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.320 from being sick. You know, I thought he looked good. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:35.800 He had a lot of energy. I know, he worked 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:38.400 really hard to get out here and worked really hard 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.440 to make sure he was ready to be to put 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.160 his best foot forward as best as he could. I 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.360 thought he did, and even as a practice went on, 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.200 you could see him kind of finding himself even more 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.800 and more. So. I was really happy about it. 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.640 What difference did that make when he's out there? I said, 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.360 the obvious it's Lamar Well. 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:56.920 I mean, I think it's a good point, Brian, and 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:58.920 it probably is the obvious. I mean, I don't know 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.440 if I could say anything other than the fact that 0:02:00.760 --> 0:02:03.640 at your starting quarterback, uh, you know, he's the best 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.520 quarterback in football. We believe and we're determined to prove 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.040 it and uh, he's out there today working with the guys. 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:09.960 That makes a big difference. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.760 Look on one of the drills, Uh, be able to 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.080 drive the length of the field, score the touchdown with 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.360 like on the scoreboard you guys with simulating down by 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.800 a certain points drills in tugrabe. That kind of performance 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:24.000 in general just speaks too many to the back out 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:24.360 of your day. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:25.240 Want to do something now. 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:26.920 It does say a lot. I mean to come out 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:29.519 with like that two minute drill into the game, minute 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.160 twenty left, one time out and needed a touchdown down 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.440 by five and uh and and look fantastic. You know 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.040 it's always been a strength of Lamars. Two minutes. I 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.840 thought the whole offense executed well. Defense executed well too. 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:41.959 The offense just made the plays. 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:46.440 Tray BoNT Home have an injury and to the share. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.840 On his status, Yeah, he fell on it his shoulder, 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:51.920 So we'll have to see where we're at when we 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:52.560 get back in there. 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.080 When I was out there is I think all right 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.400 with them. 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.040 They had a personal thing that I excuse him for. Yes, 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.640 the family celebrations, it was actually a wedding that was 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.960 really important to him. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.239 John. When you get into these paddent practice, and you 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:07.480 can't do them all the time. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.239 But what are you most looking for because you're still 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.919 not being completely physical. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.440 Right, I saw real pumps and like back off hitting 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.160 a couple of guys. What are you looking for when 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.640 they get the pads? Well, you play. The thing is, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.480 I think when you to protect each other, no situations 0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.000 where like that where you might put the other player 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.560 in danger. We really try to do a good job 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:25.959 with our guys, and I think our guys do a 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.359 great job of respecting one another no situations. Yet when 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.839 both players have a chance to protect themselves, you're going. 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:33.079 You know, you have to be going. You're trying to 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.840 win the battle. And now you have a physical contest. 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:39.240 Remember we said before there were no physical contests to win. 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.720 Now there are physical contests to win, and the guys 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.520 want to win them. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.160 John, You see if you have a lot better task 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:46.840 walking out there today, a lot more. 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:49.000 Time to pocket for all the four that stick together. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.000 Yeah, I thought the old line did a good job 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.680 yesterday and today with that. And whether it's the pads 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.440 coming out or not, but they just were really physical 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.800 in terms of moving their feet laterally and stopping some 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.080 of the intration, especially in some of the games and twists, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.600 so it was a it was an improvement for sure. 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:07.760 Looked like Gum at one point, View and Zach and 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.080 even heard in their labor we're having a you know, 0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.720 conversations and you kind of ships light on just content you. 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.320 Guys like like he did, you know, it gives people 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.880 and then and then you'll get ESPN with Jamison's group 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.000 over here. Hey, Jamison, what about that? I don't write 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.080 the headlines. I mean the articles didn't say anything what 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:25.960 the headline just said. And he just always hides behind 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.839 he hides behind the uh the headline writer, which I 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.320 respect and I'm sure it's true. So spirited we're talking. 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:36.839 We what we try to do is this organization. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.400 That does some things and people think it's about it's 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:42.279 your fault, and you're like, no, it's that other guy. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:45.080 I can't deny that. I can't deny that. You're right, 0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:50.839 get focus focus. Well, we the point is we try 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.719 to be like we try to be. We try to 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.040 be we say, obnoxious in our communication, uh, over zealous 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:58.480 in our communications. We're talking about a leverage there in 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:00.560 the goal line. Whether we want we we want the 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.039 defender to be inside or outside in his coverage. How 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.720 much help does he really have in that coverage? And 0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.359 that's what we were talking about. You know, where do 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:07.400 we want to put him? And we want to have 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.000 those conversations all the way through camp about all of 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.880 our football all the time. We want to be quality, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.880 controlling ourselves all the time. What's the best way to 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:16.599 do it? Oh, there's a line not drawn right in 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.720 that drawing up there. Whatever it might be. We want 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.600 to chase perfection and our shared understanding and our vision 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.200 of how we're going to play the game. That's the 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.440 most important thing we do. We're here football, that's what 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.240 we do. We've got to be on the same page 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.240 on everything we do. So that's part of that. And 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:31.760 we have those conversations all the time. And I love it. 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.160 I mean I just love it to me. It's what 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.000 makes it fun to me. You know that we're willing 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.000 to do that and able to do that with our guys. 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:40.400 Coaches and players are on a partnership, man, I mean 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.320 we are partners in this thing. We work together in 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.080 this thing. We're trying to be the best we can 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.160 be together as a football team. 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.800 More all than mentioned as as a boss a little way, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.080 you know, to it seems like you know, shut up. 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:54.600 So you weren't worried about him coming in and we 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.880 just talk about how you score five days and you 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:58.760 never stated. 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:03.160 His games moving soon, good, moving super good. Looks great 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.520 to me. We had we had a we had another 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.839 conversation that was a spirited conversation Marlon and I about 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.360 and he asked me about the first step in press coverage, 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:11.880 you know what I thought, And we talked about that, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.360 and that's what we should be talking about all the time. 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.080 John, we haven't asked you about it. 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:19.800 Being that's the end of the first week. 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.960 The three of the rookies that we haven't seen out 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.720 he or Isaac, Tampa and Rigbe those any of those 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.559 guys do you close and we don't like what's Rigby's story? 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.560 Yeah, those guys are soft tissue, you know, lower leg. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:37.320 They use the typical things that happened to rookies sometimes 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:38.800 coming off the combine and all that. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:39.440 Uh. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:41.960 Diese has been struggling with that since before the combine, 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:46.719 Rigby since right around getting here the combine whatever. Uh, 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.960 and then Tampa had the sportsternity surgery. So those are 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.280 all not unusual, certainly frustrating for those guys. They want 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.080 to be out here, but you can't bring them out 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:55.560 too soon or they do it again, then you got 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.279 another five or six weeks. So we're trying to do 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.760 right by those guys and and honestly hold them back 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.159 just a little bit so when they come back they're 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:16.400 ready to go. That's exactly right. I mean that, that 0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.000 to me is the that's the craft, that's the art 0:07:19.000 --> 0:07:22.080 of it all. And we try to say, uh, you know, 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:27.640 the the right to to to hit somebody all right, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.800 stops for the other players in jeopardy, you know, so 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.360 you can guys generally know when it's a compromising situation 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.320 for the player and you try to pull up in 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.280 that type of situation. 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.520 Tight Ends Code George Gatzi talked about the versatile capabilities 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.200 of the tight ends in the room, led by Mark 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:49.640 Andrews and Isaiah Likely. 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.760 When Okay, you know Mark Andrews for he's done great 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.760 constant production. You since you've been a round him, what 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:02.560 do you think makes Mark? 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.880 And yeah, I mean he gets it, and he works 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.960 hard and he's capable of a lot of things. You know, 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.400 he's really a positionless player. And that's what we talk 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:13.840 about the room really, because we play outside, we play 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.520 inside in the slot, we play attached. We've got a 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.679 lot of different roles, so all those guys are capable. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.240 And Mark leads a group, him and Pat. 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.400 You know, here's my out lighting up at the tight ends, 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:26.600 working out with the tight ends. 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.160 He made a couple of plays in practice today. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.640 What's kind of the vision for him positionally. 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.520 Yeah, the same type of deal. You know, he's a 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:34.840 he's a big body. He can run, he can catch, 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.959 he's learned the position, he's flexible, he's played quarterback. You know, 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.160 he's kind of what the quarterback's looking at. So he's young, 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.959 he's learning, he's eager. You know, he's got a big 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.160 capacity to learn too. So excited about him. 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:52.160 Georgian soon sometimes kind of intensive battles between someone like 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:57.600 Charlie Koehler and like a Brent Urban's obviously very very 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.000 tough at his lodge when he's in like tight end. 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:01.920 I guess what he's kind of a learning curve for 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:04.560 for Kolar as he transitions to more of an inline 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:06.319 role and potentially a bigger row in this offense. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:07.679 Yeah, I mean, I think you're gonna say a big 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.840 jump from him. He's made a huge strides from not 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.240 only just year one to two, but now you know 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.040 two to three. I think you're gonna see a big jump. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:19.880 He's working extra again. He's another guy that's capable of 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.640 taking in a lot of information both in the run 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:24.480 game in the past game. But you know he's gonna 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.240 make his mark physically at the line of scrimage, controlling 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.120 the defender. So I'm excited about what he's doing. 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.679 He saw, particularly when Mark Anders went out, Isaiah went 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.080 from a stretch where you know, he broke out in 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:39.040 terms of pumpers. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:41.840 Have you seen him build off that just carry that 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:45.559 kind of momentum into the off season and early Isaiah 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:46.680 yeahah yeah. 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.319 I Mean he's a guy that goes out there. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.440 He challenges safeties, he challenges corners, he's inside obviously working 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:54.360 against our backers. 0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:55.760 You know, we got a good group. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.199 Defensively, we're going against every day, so we're getting challenged. 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:01.840 But isaiahs so f uh, you saw it last year 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.199 and that's going to continue to improve. I mean, our 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:08.000 group that we have, it's so versatile and you know, 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.880 really really excited about the group. Really from top down. 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:16.319 The biggest visit music, play recognition, is it going on? 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.560 Where's the biggest strategy you've seen in many. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:20.839 Well, it's it's it's the chemistry with him and Lamar. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.040 And you know, again, he's a guy that we're moving 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.839 all over the place. So he gets one or two 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.480 reps at something and then later on and uh in 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.760 the week, he's got to execute it again. So he's 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.960 getting the extra work and he's asking the good questions. 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.600 The chemistry is there, I mean, the communication, it's been 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.960 wonderful listening to him and Lamar work together. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:39.800 So I love it. 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:46.000 Essentially starting however, tight end, what have those conversations been 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.800 like workshopping how you want to. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.200 Do the game plan? And it's been very fun. I mean, 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.360 we've got four guys that we think we can put 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.280 out there at any point, at any position, and you know, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.360 including Pat, So it's a versatile group. It's exciting. We're physical, 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:02.079 we catch the ball, we run, you know, so we're 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.559 gonna be moved around in the offense and that's the 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.280 role that we want, you know, we want to be 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.600 put in a position to succeed. And uh so whoever's 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:10.880 out there, we feel like we'll do that. 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:14.040 Yeah, you mentioned you've had four guys in accruping. 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.600 Pat think it's a great point and there's a limited 0:11:16.679 --> 0:11:17.480 number of tight. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.520 Anti fullbacks and that they four guys, I mean, how 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.160 do you console them about cannot pay none of them 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:25.719 getting into the stack camp with people do. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.480 Into Yeah, I mean we're trying to get as many 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.800 reps as we can and opportunities that present itself, same 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.440 thing the receivers are doing. So you know the point 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.280 that we made about being positionless, so you know, we 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.280 may be in the tight end room, but we're out 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:40.760 there extended doing the same things that maybe receivers doing 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.080 and then vice versa. You know, the blocking is one 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040 thing for us in line and you know, we feel 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.440 like we can take as many roles as possible. We 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.840 saw that unfold last year and we've seen that unfold. 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.400 You know that we're gonna need everybody, you know to succeed. 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:58.640 So were the addition Derrick Henry run blocking became more 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.679 important entered this season just to see what have you 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:06.080 seen w likely and for there and there being able 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:07.320 to be handline blockers. 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:08.800 Yeah, I mean the good thing about Derek he can 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.400 run with a lot of bodies in there or run 0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.160 with not a lot of bodies in space. So we'll 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.760 do both of it, you know, and everybody's gonna have 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.959 their role, and uh, you know, we're gonna block for 0:12:18.040 --> 0:12:20.040 him and he's gonna block for us in the passing game. 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.960 So it's gonna be a good, good, good cohesive unit 0:12:23.000 --> 0:12:24.480 to work together to get yards. 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.200 Georgia. 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.760 Do you think that's like kind of the defensive trend 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.000 guys getting smaller faster has maybe made it easier for 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.200 you know, tight ends not necessarily have to be a 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.080 smash mouse style to be you know, physically to have 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.840 that physical advantage. You know, all linebackers weighing like two 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.520 and three four downs, edgeshutters maybe being you know, later 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.120 than they were back in the day. Is that easier 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.320 to maybe have an advantagement you have. 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.600 I mean, there's there's so many different variations that we 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.640 go against, you know, summer lighter, summer bigger, and I 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:00.559 think when we present what our challenges are off offensively 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.080 for someone to defend, I think it creates a lot 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.079 of problems. And that's what we're after. You know, we 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.320 got big guys, we got physical guys, we got inline guys. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.439 We've got guys we can extend, you know, and and 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:11.960 really that's what we're trying to do, is create as 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:13.319 many mismatches as possible. 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:20.280 You know, Isaiah likely talked about building on the already 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:23.520 strong chemistry has with quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.680 Is that what stand out for you the most first 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:29.520 week off Fame? 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.200 Can I say? 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:31.400 Really? 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.040 Competition? I mean everybody getting back into you know, the 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.760 football mentality. Everybody's you know, attacking their one on ones, 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.240 making sure you know the offense, defenses, iron shopping and 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.319 iron making sure everybody's in tune with what they got 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:41.719 going on. 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:43.480 As deductive as. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.000 You were to end last season. 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:48.120 How has that affected your mentality this offseason? 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:49.320 Coming in their camp is there? 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.440 How does that affect your drive? 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:53.480 Really? 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:55.560 Just you know, wiping the slate clean. I mean, knowing 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.439 obviously the pros and cons of what I did to 0:13:57.520 --> 0:13:59.839 end off the year, but understanding that obviously what I 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.280 it wasn't enough to get the ultimate goal. So coming 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.040 back with the mentality of you know, job not finished, 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:07.760 and attacking everything I did from the little details so 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.480 obviously the things I do well even harder than before, 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.560 and trying to know be that that piece, that leader 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:15.319 on the offense to get everybody going. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.719 You talk about chemistry all the time. 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:21.800 The more great chemistry than the last year he was there, 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:23.680 another the help we can get to and it so. 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.200 I to feel back to the oh for sure. I 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.160 mean I feel like there's still plays on the field 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.720 that me and Lamar you know, just might have just missed, 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.960 or you know I was off and he expected me somewhere, 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:36.920 or I split it a certain way. So you know, 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:39.080 just harping on those things and practice hearing it from 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.600 his perspective, whether he's taking the rep with me or 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.520 just watching from the sideline. He's always in tune to 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.400 you know, watching either when you're on or when you're off, 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.360 and always you know, going to the ipadle and you know, 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.200 like hey, if you look here, I'm gonna hit you, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.360 or or if you do this this way, like expect 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:53.560 it right now, and stuff like that. 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:57.320 How have you guys up that chemistry like deserve an 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:58.400 example of it? 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:06.080 Lamar, there's nuts, I say, really, just you know, harping 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.280 on little things in practice. I mean everybody brings up 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.960 the I guess like the Texans game when I told 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.720 him to throw it up I mean that was just 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.280 you know what we do in practice. Like I'll be 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.160 in practice and say, man, Lamar puts some more air, 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:17.880 and I promise you I won't make you wrong. So 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.040 like having those you know, situations in practice where he 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:21.880 trusts me, where he does that in practice, so you 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.000 know in game it's not the first time. So in 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.160 game when I say, Lamar, throw it up, throw it 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:27.840 up like I got you, I promise you, and he 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:29.360 nods his head, lets me know like I got you. 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.480 Next time I got it. And you know, when it's complete, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:32.280 it's always a good thing. 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.600 Does it lift everybody when he is out there? 0:15:36.920 --> 0:15:38.400 I mean for sure? I mean you guys see I 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.800 mean not only from like you guys point of view 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.880 from seeing him like wow, like quarterback one's back out here, 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.680 but you know the kids energy and that you finally 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.560 get to see him. Lamar brings that that you know, 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:48.720 obviously that leader role, but obviously that smile. I mean 0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.040 it's infectious, not only the offense, but for the team 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:53.240 knowing that your leaders here, knowing that he's gonna give 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:54.520 every play he got the. 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:57.600 Say he had a clearly capitals are ample today. 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.920 What if these politicians been like and how setting is. 0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:04.320 Against I say, it's you know, it's fantas. I've been 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.240 going up against Kyle since rookie year. I mean, you 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.760 guys been here all the time. Me and Kyle went 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.480 from rookie year again, like seven straight one on ones 0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:13.520 every day to now where it's like when we see 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:15.320 each other, we know like, Okay, this might be the 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:16.760 only one I get, so I can't have him talking 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.320 in the locker room about it or when it we 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:21.480 get on the sideline, so you know, whether I win one, 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.120 whether he wins one. We always want to talk and 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:24.960 say like, hey, why'd you do that that certain way? 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.240 Or why'd you do that certain way? And like even today, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.720 like me and Kyle got a little bit after practice 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:30.680 so we could work on some technique stuff with me 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:32.800 and him and like going from there. But I say, 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:34.920 like Kyle always gets me better, like win, lose or 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.120 draw my rep Like I feel like I always got better. 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:38.400 Is that part of what. 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.600 Gets you through some of the drudgery of training camp, 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.160 those little those little one on one moments. 0:16:42.920 --> 0:16:44.720 Yeah, for sure. I mean obviously, like if you could 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.600 spot your one on one before the play happens, like 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.680 you're already like, okay, it's me versus you, But like 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:51.680 most of the time, my defense is a great job 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.360 disguising who has who or what what does what? So 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:56.680 you know when you when you find tune your rep 0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.960 and knowing who you got and being able to attack 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.000 it competitively, that's all always, you know, A blessing the day, Isaiah. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:03.800 There's been a lot of talk about a very versatile 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:04.520 role for your ass off. 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.520 That's the coaches have mentagen multiple times. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:08.119 How excited are you for that role? 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:09.760 And then how much extra work have you put it? 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:10.919 What kind of actual work we need? 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:12.040
