Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. Today is Thursday,
Speaker 1: August third. Training camp continue today and after practice we
Speaker 1: had a chance to hear from the coordinators. That's kick
Speaker 1: things off today with Special Teams coordinator Chris Horton.
Speaker 2: Thought, our guys came out today really the last couple
Speaker 2: of days and really put in some good days of work.
Speaker 2: Uh really just encouraged by what I'm seeing by all
Speaker 2: the all the young guys and the veteran guys and
Speaker 2: the type of leadership that that these guys are taking questions.
Speaker 2: You know, It's it's awesome.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know jerry N's relationship, I said this before man
Speaker 2: Ites it's bigger than football, So we do spend a
Speaker 2: lot of time talking to each other. So when he
Speaker 2: does show up, I'm excited to see his face. And
Speaker 2: then when he he jumps in the drills, it's even
Speaker 2: it's even more exciting because I could tell, you know,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he misses it a little bit right. He
Speaker 2: wants to get out there and he's he's coaching the
Speaker 2: right thing, So I'm all excited for it. It's always
Speaker 2: good to see him.
Speaker 4: Chris look like uh Jin style for a lot of
Speaker 4: as friendy.
Speaker 3: Folks out of his studio over y'all the season.
Speaker 4: Where have you seen his You.
Speaker 2: Know, I think it's in everything that he does. Jordan's working.
Speaker 2: Jordan's working hard. Uh, every day he has a plan.
Speaker 2: Randy puts him through a workout plan. Jordan, what are
Speaker 2: you working on? Okay, this is going to be turnover balls,
Speaker 2: and let's make sure that that's what we're working on.
Speaker 2: Let's let's get down to the finest little details of
Speaker 2: turnover balls. If we're working in that pooch area, let's
Speaker 2: making sure that we're doing the right things with our drop,
Speaker 2: with our footwork. So I think he's he's taking it
Speaker 2: all piece by piece. And uh, when we see this
Speaker 2: game here in a couple uh next week sometime hopefully
Speaker 2: we put it all together.
Speaker 3: That's it comes to the return.
Speaker 5: Man, Is that still uns you guys given other guys
Speaker 5: who got this play.
Speaker 2: That's that's DuVernay's role. But obviously, you know, during this time,
Speaker 2: everybody gets an opportunity.
Speaker 3: If you're here, you you.
Speaker 2: Want an opportunity, You want to look right. So it's
Speaker 2: our job as coaches to give everybody an opportunity. A
Speaker 2: dude's done a great job right, Uh, you know, for
Speaker 2: a guy that had never returned the ball and then
Speaker 2: to do what he's done the last couple of years. Man,
Speaker 2: we're excited about Duvenet, but we're also excited about some
Speaker 2: of the young guys that we have as well.
Speaker 5: Chris, after years of continuity in your ticking game, you've
Speaker 5: got a lot of turnover now and you're lung snapper
Speaker 5: in your holder the last couple of years.
Speaker 4: Al Cord is his camp in this preseason.
Speaker 6: To get him that.
Speaker 4: They feed it out every day is valuable.
Speaker 2: Every day those guys are out here, they're working on something,
Speaker 2: whether it's a snap to catch, whether it's whether it's
Speaker 2: Tyler's snapping the Jordan for holds for Tucker, whether it's
Speaker 2: punt snaps, whether it's punt full work. It's it's all
Speaker 2: very important, and I think as we continue to move
Speaker 2: through our camp, these guys will, uh they're gonna stick
Speaker 2: together like glue because uh, it's important for us. You know,
Speaker 2: we've won a lot of games with those three guys.
Speaker 5: Chris staking you guys keep and Mitchell coups a break
Speaker 5: fast you see, how to do discussions.
Speaker 2: As you know, k Keaton's a guy that I think,
Speaker 2: you know, uh, that can go out and play anywhere
Speaker 2: you ask him to play again. I'm I told him before,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna put you on kickoff. I want
Speaker 2: to see you run. I want to see some physicality.
Speaker 2: And I think he's got the right mindset, he's got
Speaker 2: the right makeup. We're gonna we're gonna let him return
Speaker 2: some punts for let him return some kicks, right, We're
Speaker 2: gonna let him play some punt out at gunner. We're
Speaker 2: just gonna give him every opportunity to make this football
Speaker 2: team and put himself in position to make this football team.
Speaker 1: That was Special teams coordinator Chris Horden. After practice, we
Speaker 1: also talked with defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, who discussed his
Speaker 1: feeling about this defensive unit and what they could happen
Speaker 1: sore for this year.
Speaker 6: All Right, great to see everybody. I feel like I
Speaker 6: was up here a couple of days ago. So we'll
Speaker 6: see what what questions you have.
Speaker 4: Let's let's set after about har football last.
Speaker 6: Uh. Yeah, just you know, he's got great energy and
Speaker 6: provides a little fire to you know, to the nickel
Speaker 6: position out there, and it's some a lot of things
Speaker 6: that we've done that are not so consistent with how
Speaker 6: he's done things. So considering that learning curve, we're actually
Speaker 6: impressed with, you know, how how fast he's picked everything up.
Speaker 4: But just just a.
Speaker 6: Fun guy to be around and just attacking what we're
Speaker 6: asking to do, so much more.
Speaker 4: Impactable us its installed or deafen, and this point.
Speaker 5: Is changing Goss in the day.
Speaker 4: It's huge, it's huge.
Speaker 6: You know, he's obviously a vital, vital part of our
Speaker 6: of our operation, and he spearheads the charge, so you know,
Speaker 6: he picks it up very fast. He makes it seem
Speaker 6: very easy. Uh, and I think the guys follow that lead,
Speaker 6: you know, and if if if he's going, and he's
Speaker 6: and and he's rolling, rocking and rolling, then the guys
Speaker 6: fall online. Then you know, things just happened a little
Speaker 6: bit more seamlessly than you know. So it's it's good,
Speaker 6: it's great.
Speaker 1: As a coach, throwing down is even more important right
Speaker 1: now for some of these other corners because maybe especially
Speaker 1: the young ones, to kind of start separating them.
Speaker 6: So I wouldn't say it's more important, I'd just say
Speaker 6: it's always important. You know, that's something that we're looking
Speaker 6: for obviously we had a great competition going on, you know,
Speaker 6: opposite Marlon, So uh, just you know there's gonna be
Speaker 6: more reps to be had for sure. We'll see how
Speaker 6: long it lasts. But uh, you know that, I think
Speaker 6: I think the focus has been there from day one
Speaker 6: with those guys.
Speaker 3: We heard for various players talking about what they've gotten
Speaker 3: out of their international pH.
Speaker 5: Think hear not just outsidelnderers, But do you think he
Speaker 5: hasn't have a usual, doing able sort of lead as
Speaker 5: a teacher?
Speaker 4: Ban I would say he's got a great ability to relate.
Speaker 6: You know, any coach you want to be able to
Speaker 6: relate to your players, so you have a good relationship.
Speaker 6: I think that's important thing. Uh it starts with John
Speaker 6: and who who he hires, you know, and who's on
Speaker 6: our staff. I'd speak to everybody on our staff. I
Speaker 6: think everybody does a great job of building rapport with
Speaker 6: our players. And you can build that trust and that
Speaker 6: connectivity so you know, we can stay a line when
Speaker 6: we're asking, you know, when we're working through that back
Speaker 6: and forth of coaching guys up and asking asking things
Speaker 6: from them. And I think you see that the players,
Speaker 6: you know, play harder and you get more out of
Speaker 6: him when you have that relationship.
Speaker 4: So, but Chuck's Chuck's just like everybody else. But he's
Speaker 4: doing a great job.
Speaker 6: BI saw Zaly taking a lot of the rents today
Speaker 6: outside or opposite of Moreland.
Speaker 4: What about him makes some papers stepping up for you
Speaker 4: need here for a long of your time. Well, Jalen's
Speaker 4: the guy that we're really excited when we drafted him.
Speaker 6: So's he's got a lot of ability and uh, he's
Speaker 6: a very smart players.
Speaker 4: He's versatile, he can play multiple spots. Uh, but you know,
Speaker 4: this is an.
Speaker 6: Opportunity for him to go to go show what he
Speaker 6: can do and and and see if he can earn
Speaker 6: himself a job.
Speaker 4: So opportunities out there as.
Speaker 5: He improved that are any different whatever, as you look
Speaker 5: better like you're kamorre Un.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I would say it's a gradual improvement, you know,
Speaker 6: but with the whole with the whole defense. Right now,
Speaker 6: we're in we're in week two, we're in it, we're
Speaker 6: in pads. The emphasis is let's go all right, We're
Speaker 6: not waiting around. It's not processed for we're rolling okay,
Speaker 6: So we're we're trying to get ready for for next
Speaker 6: week when we tee it off against the Eagles, and
Speaker 6: then I've ultimately, you know, against Houston week one, so
Speaker 6: we won't pedal them right now. And I think he's
Speaker 6: right there with the rest of the crew.
Speaker 1: Like Duran has dot here in plays where they stabbed
Speaker 1: himself as a vocal leader.
Speaker 4: Since he left, he's really like stepped up on the
Speaker 4: defensive line and established himself to it's like their us.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think we've spoke to it the other day
Speaker 6: very well. I mean, we got a great group right there,
Speaker 6: and they're not necessarily a young group. I mean they're
Speaker 6: not not green in that way. They are young, but
Speaker 6: they're not green. I mean, off the top of my head.
Speaker 6: Michael Pierce has done a great job. He's been here
Speaker 6: all off season. Brent Urban done a great job. Broderick
Speaker 6: Washington is a stalwart in the middle for US. Leads
Speaker 6: through action and.
Speaker 4: Not his words.
Speaker 6: Justin Mattabeke, same deal, comes to work every day, plays
Speaker 6: extremely hard. There's a group that feeds off one another.
Speaker 6: Travis Jones, second year guy. You would never guess he's
Speaker 6: a second year guy.
Speaker 4: The list goes on.
Speaker 6: So is there one guy that's kind of the head
Speaker 6: of the group, you know, maybe maybe not maybe by day,
Speaker 6: but really proud of their approach, the competitiveness with him,
Speaker 6: and then the ability you know that they look they're
Speaker 6: they're fighting for past rush snaps too, So a lot
Speaker 6: of competition in that room as well.
Speaker 3: To future players to work on tackling when there's very
Speaker 3: little to no tax ling a log and has that
Speaker 3: impacted what you.
Speaker 4: See in games in terms of guys for killingies. That's
Speaker 4: a great question. The tackling taxing.
Speaker 6: Tackling is a lost art, you know, and the rules
Speaker 6: really uh make it challenging. Like you said, you know
Speaker 6: to do it, so you have to be creative and
Speaker 6: what you do it now, I will say when we practice,
Speaker 6: it's always angles to the ball, making sure we have
Speaker 6: the ball west, tearing off blocks, making sure we're in
Speaker 6: position and make a tackle, and then the tempo kind
Speaker 6: of dictates how we finish. So I'm actually very pleased
Speaker 6: with when we're in the pads, we've been able to
Speaker 6: cup the ball very well, and we talk about, you know,
Speaker 6: finishing in a dominant position and then the ball ballcare
Speaker 6: goes backwards. In staple tackling, we're not gonna be able
Speaker 6: to do that with our guys, but we definitely, we
Speaker 6: definitely want to thug guys up, wrap them up, and
Speaker 6: make sure we know we're insurance tackles.
Speaker 5: Thoughts talked about I was going to embrace kind of
Speaker 5: multipowerful aspect for this pass rush.
Speaker 4: But does that require a kind of different mentality when
Speaker 4: you're out there on on yeah, get out of a hugeague. Well,
Speaker 4: I think any good pass rusher is going to start
Speaker 4: with power, you know.
Speaker 6: I think if you just go down the list of
Speaker 6: the top pass rushers throughout the league, they have some
Speaker 6: sort of power if you if you have no if
Speaker 6: you have no threat of power, you know, tackles are
Speaker 6: just not going to respect it and the rest of
Speaker 6: your stuff isn't going to be set up as well.
Speaker 4: But if you watch, he's got a great long arm
Speaker 4: and you know he's working on that. I know that
Speaker 4: he's working on it today with with Chuck out there
Speaker 4: during Indy. So that's a power. I think it showed
Speaker 4: up last year on tape too.
Speaker 6: I think you're gonna I think you see when you
Speaker 6: turn the tape on, is he's got a great long
Speaker 6: arm and then the counter's off it. But just like
Speaker 6: any great pass rusher, you've got to have that element,
Speaker 6: you know, if you're you know, gonna have any success
Speaker 6: you maybe at the end of his season last year
Speaker 6: with something you could really build on. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely,
Speaker 6: absolutely your second how much to feel ball the tea.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question. I think you go in
Speaker 4: with an idea of what you have to build to.
Speaker 6: That picture is clear from the from the get go,
Speaker 6: but it's still within the framework of who do we
Speaker 6: have and what do they do and what can they do,
Speaker 6: and then we can kind of take it as it
Speaker 6: goes from right there. So I've alluded to this a
Speaker 6: lot of times, but when our personnel became into focus
Speaker 6: throughout the middle of the year, it really dictated what
Speaker 6: we could and couldn't do schematically and narrowed the focus.
Speaker 6: And I think that's when we took off. So definitely
Speaker 6: that picture is clear on earlier at this point in.
Speaker 4: Time, here's.
Speaker 2: Camp On.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kyle, Like we've said, he's a guy that we're
Speaker 6: gonna be able to move around. Right now, he's trying
Speaker 6: to We're trying to get him really good at safety
Speaker 6: with the ability to move him in a different, different spot.
Speaker 4: So please where he's at.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, I think he started out camp really well,
Speaker 6: hasn't had as much ball production over the last couple
Speaker 6: of days.
Speaker 4: So that's something that we're going to challenge him, you know,
Speaker 4: to be able to do moving forward throughout camp and
Speaker 4: going into season.
Speaker 6: Why you see.
Speaker 3: Comply you with His name is pet three, growing up
Speaker 3: around this with his dad. Does that notice full from
Speaker 3: South Calmsboro in the meetings?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say it definitely shows itself off off
Speaker 6: the fielding in the building.
Speaker 4: You love his approach.
Speaker 6: He's here every morning working out when I'm in there
Speaker 6: with the guys and going through the process. The training
Speaker 6: room speaks very highly of him and his approach and
Speaker 6: his mentality on the field. My message to him was
Speaker 6: just let's go. Let's go compete, all right, stay take
Speaker 6: the step every day that you need to. We had
Speaker 6: a conversation actually this morning, Steve Smith talks about Rookie's
Speaker 6: making a play a day, and I just encourage him
Speaker 6: to go for it, you know, go for it so
Speaker 6: you can get those plays on tape where guys are
Speaker 6: gonna remember that, you know, those those positive plays that
Speaker 6: you're making.
Speaker 1: That was Raven's defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, who's heading into
Speaker 1: his second year as a team's play caller on that
Speaker 1: side of the ball. And of course we also talked
Speaker 1: with offensive coordinator Todd Munkett. There's lots of excitement about
Speaker 1: Todd going into his first season as the Ravens offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: and he discussed his thoughts going into this year.
Speaker 6: How'd you like the the tempo so far?
Speaker 5: I know today was kind of more gold for it,
Speaker 5: but even when they had a patch of the oliver
Speaker 5: this week.
Speaker 3: How did you think the temple year? It's a work
Speaker 3: in progress. We're not one out nearly where we need
Speaker 3: to be, and we shouldn't be so because that it's
Speaker 3: early in camp, but we got we got a lot
Speaker 3: of work to do. It's your second here.
Speaker 6: Tight ends out there are showing well.
Speaker 3: First off, we've got to figure out on the roster,
Speaker 3: be it those two players whoever we have, do we
Speaker 3: have an individual here that can play why it can
Speaker 3: be a blocking tight end, can do some things in
Speaker 3: line after losing the young man they had last year,
Speaker 3: so you know, and with Pat being out, so that
Speaker 3: that's what we need to see from them. We know
Speaker 3: we know Zay is an excellent receiving tight end, and
Speaker 3: we got to take the next step with a number
Speaker 3: of those guys.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Once we really we'll know a lot more once we
Speaker 3: go to practice against the Redskins, we play some preseason
Speaker 3: games where we're at you're starting at Descri just do
Speaker 3: not have j Well, we'd love to have JK out there.
Speaker 3: I mean, there's there's no question about it. And we
Speaker 3: look forward when he does get out there. I don't
Speaker 3: control that when I control us what we do each
Speaker 3: day on the practice field, and we'll be excited when
Speaker 3: he gets back.
Speaker 4: Tell us that he talks to him if he talked
Speaker 4: to him at all.
Speaker 3: I talked to him every day. I told him every day.
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a big smile on his face,
Speaker 3: and I don't know what else to say. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's there every day, so when he's out there, we'll
Speaker 3: be fired up. He's out there.
Speaker 4: Rest three Okay, how far behind is he as far
Speaker 4: as learning this out goes? How much catching up is
Speaker 4: he have to do?
Speaker 3: He actually gets in a great question because he hasn't repped,
Speaker 3: so it's hard for me to know that when he's
Speaker 3: not out there. It's just the way it is. I mean,
Speaker 3: he's not out there, so we'll find out when he
Speaker 3: does get out there, but we're excited. I know he's
Speaker 3: kind of being a little you know, smart alect there,
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying in general, when he gets out there,
Speaker 3: we'll be excited to have him talk.
Speaker 2: To know guy practice Like you don't did that kind
Speaker 2: of start in the end?
Speaker 1: How what make you capt starting about?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, think about it. They come out here wearing
Speaker 3: our players jerseys. I mean, how cool is that?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: Our players get to live out their dream and get
Speaker 3: paid for something they were they've been playing since they
Speaker 3: were little kids like them. And to me, that's really easy.
Speaker 3: To me that that's not hard. That's easy. That's that's
Speaker 3: Todd Munkin at eight years old that was dying to
Speaker 3: get an autograph and meet his favorite player. And that's
Speaker 3: not hard. That's actually really really easy, And uh, you
Speaker 3: wish you could do it for all of them, Todd.
Speaker 6: Is it tough to kind of projected where in office
Speaker 6: when you don't have guys like Novels and Baitman out
Speaker 6: there who are going to pieces.
Speaker 3: Well, right now, it's not hard to project because we're
Speaker 3: not really good right now, got a long ways to
Speaker 3: go cool. It was talks about sleeping aside and say
Speaker 3: the same guy and you've been.
Speaker 6: Whoever's out there, what do you expect from them to
Speaker 6: be other?
Speaker 3: Well, there's a certain expectation of the position, right whoever's
Speaker 3: out there, whoever starts for the Ravens, there's an expectation there,
Speaker 3: whether it is Salah or John you know, whoever that
Speaker 3: might be. I think there's some great competition there and
Speaker 3: we look forward again. Is you keep moving into camp,
Speaker 3: you get more practices and paths, and you go against
Speaker 3: some other teams, you get a little better idea of
Speaker 3: what you can expect.
Speaker 5: I've seen the chemistry between Labar and Mark Andrews to
Speaker 5: go off script for the last few years with great success.
Speaker 5: When you're coming in it with a new system, how
Speaker 5: do you balance not wanting to stifle that but also
Speaker 5: wanting to play within the offense within the system.
Speaker 3: Great question. You don't want to take away creativity, a
Speaker 3: great chemistry that players have. But we've got to continue
Speaker 3: to improve all of our quarterbacks ability to check the
Speaker 3: ball down, to get it to outlets running backs, getting
Speaker 3: them more involved. And Mark still being a big part
Speaker 3: of that mark is going to be a big part
Speaker 3: of what we do as the other players. But we
Speaker 3: want to we want to keep that, but also the
Speaker 3: ability to move on right, move on as the pocket
Speaker 3: breaks down, we can find outlets and get the ball
Speaker 3: out of his hands a wide receiver. Sir, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Running backs throughout the league have voice that they're feeling undervalued.
Speaker 3: How has it evolved their word and how wrong violence?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 3: Okay? Which one do you want?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 3: Do you want me to Are you wanted me to
Speaker 3: comment on their feeling undervalued or do you want to
Speaker 3: comment on their roles? First of all, I will just
Speaker 3: say this about any position, And first of all, I'm
Speaker 3: never going to talk about another man's business. That that
Speaker 3: is something they have to take care of. Okay, So,
Speaker 3: but running backs, in my opinion, are highly valued in
Speaker 3: this league. The running backs we have are highly valued.
Speaker 3: To me, I think any player that makes an NFL
Speaker 3: roster is highly valued. That's a fact. They're one of
Speaker 3: the best in the world. I don't care you're fifty
Speaker 3: three to one, you're one of the best in the world. Elite, elite.
Speaker 3: I think they're a valuable commodity on any team. I
Speaker 3: don't set the market. Our right tackles valuable, Are kickers valuable?
Speaker 3: Our quarterbacks valuable? The running backs are valuable, house yours.
Speaker 1: How do you've altered they're used of running backs all
Speaker 1: the time you've been to.
Speaker 3: See I got the first one? You would let me go?
Speaker 3: Would you you went to the next one? I was
Speaker 3: waiting on that one. Now the value? Okay, So trying
Speaker 3: to determine with all of your players what you can
Speaker 3: do to maximize their skill set, what got them here.
Speaker 3: If you're lucky enough to have in every down running back,
Speaker 3: that's different. If you have other guys that have certain traits,
Speaker 3: then you try to utilize that, whether downhill, right between
Speaker 3: the tackles. Matchup guys are important once you get into
Speaker 3: that world of guys that can win one on one.
Speaker 3: I think it's assessing every player that we have on
Speaker 3: a roster has some unique trait. They just do something,
Speaker 3: and it's our job to pull it out of them
Speaker 3: or find what that is that they do. They're already elite,
Speaker 3: but at a unique level, and then utilize that in
Speaker 3: your game plan.
Speaker 1: Quoted saying that is.
Speaker 3: The most mocked n he's ever seen in the team
Speaker 3: coming into a new organization and have that with buy
Speaker 3: in when your players. Does that mean for you and
Speaker 3: your team?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't. I don't know. I appreciate Mark
Speaker 3: saying that it'll only matter what we do on Sundays,
Speaker 3: you know what we do every day. I mean, that's
Speaker 3: being a pro. I wasn't here in the past, so
Speaker 3: I can't speak to what it looked like before. Am
Speaker 3: I appreciative or locked in? Yes, that's that's what being
Speaker 3: a pro is. That this is a job. This this
Speaker 3: is a job. I don't know else to say it.
Speaker 3: I mean, we get to we get to play a
Speaker 3: kid's game, but no, make don't do make any mistake
Speaker 3: about it. I mean, we're paid to do a job
Speaker 3: and when that ends, so I take full advantage of that.
Speaker 3: And I appreciate that they have been intentive and they
Speaker 3: have been and they've wanted to again embrace the new system.
Speaker 3: What we're doing now. We just got to continue to
Speaker 3: take those next steps because we're not there yet. It
Speaker 3: looks like with.
Speaker 5: Any tough guys down play but also actually gets a
Speaker 5: fetistry pluck, he's a dollon again, it's.
Speaker 3: Not for my way that's one thing to go out
Speaker 3: of downs.
Speaker 4: Some people looks like those time and get that next
Speaker 4: to guards.
Speaker 3: Is that something that's as weally? I mean when you
Speaker 3: see that a lot in new players, or is that
Speaker 3: something I used.
Speaker 6: To maybe litter?
Speaker 3: He's a natural run after catch guys. Some guys have
Speaker 3: more ability that way. Lamar has a unique trait with
Speaker 3: the ball in his hands. Not every quarterback does. Some
Speaker 3: guys are more confident. If they played running back as
Speaker 3: a youngster growing up and then they moved later in life,
Speaker 3: they have some running skills to them. Tight ends in
Speaker 3: the NFL that grew up as air raid receivers have
Speaker 3: route running skills, so sometimes you develop that at a
Speaker 3: younger age. Vision Once I get the ball in my hand,
Speaker 3: the ability to make plays, and obviously with his quickness
Speaker 3: is he gets rewarded for that. So when I did that,
Speaker 3: I got stuck in the dirt, Like I tried to
Speaker 3: make his moves and it didn't work. So then I
Speaker 3: slid and I got down. So as you do things
