00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. Today, we had

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: a chance to see some of the Ravens in action

00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: out on the practice field today as a team continued

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: football school, which is part of the voluntary off season program,

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: and we also had a chance to hear from wide

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: receiver and return man Devin Duverney, new offensive coordinator Todd Munkin,

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and special teams coordinator Chris Horton. First up, let's start

8
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: with offensive coordinator Todd Munkin.

9
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: Your football there's football school aspect here. What are you

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: trying to kind of, you know, dear across and trying

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: to get you get across to the guys.

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: Of this Just putting our system. Really, that's that's really it.

13
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: You know, it's always fun to get back out with

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 3: the players. I mean, that's what you do. As much

15
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 3: as you enjoy meeting and putting the plan together in

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: your playbook and what you want to do moving forward,

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 3: there's nothing like having the players around.

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 4: How do you feel like it's going so far?

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: The Oh, it's great. Were excited about the guys that

20
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: are here and the installation and we're working through it.

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: What they've done the past, what I've done the past,

22
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: what our coach has been in the past and building

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: it the best way we know how.

24
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: Is this just kind of like a ground up, you know,

25
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 5: construction of the offense for you, I assume it's probably

26
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 5: the same whether you're returning to your former team or not.

27
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 5: But it is that same consystem where you're just evaluating

28
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 5: everything you have and then trying to figure out what

29
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 5: could work on the paper.

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 3: For sure, And I think it's always a little more

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: challenging it was when I left the NFL went to Georgia,

32
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: and you're trying to assess the difference and levels difference

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: in terms of the players that you have. So it's

34
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 3: the same coming back the field, spacing the players that

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: you have, the issues you may have more at this

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: level that you don't at that level, and then the

37
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: types of players that you have. So I think that's

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: a great way of putting it from the ground up.

39
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 3: You're trying to assess, you know, what you've done the past,

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 3: what you've done in the past in the NFL, the

41
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,919
Speaker 3: players that you have, but making it, you know, simple,

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: so you can execute and play fast.

43
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 6: If you're introductory preshcars. You talk a lot about space

44
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 6: players and how the game is changed in that regard

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 6: how good is the safe flowers who seem like you

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 6: would be about a perfect fit, and that in terms.

47
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 3: Of what you're looking to do for sure, you know,

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 3: I think whenever you acquire talent, I think that's what

49
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: you're always trying to do. Then you assess, Okay, where

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: can you put those players in the best position to

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: showcase that talent. If you have a bigger receiver, then

52
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: you can do different things with them. You have a

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: space player, like say, you have to be creative in

54
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: ways to get him the ball and showcase that I.

55
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 4: Mentioned the players that are here.

56
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 7: Have you got an impression of when Lamar Jackson.

57
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 4: Maybe here for the program in spring?

58
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 7: And how long do you anticipate your starting quarterback into

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 7: your system before you fill you.

60
00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 6: Up to people?

61
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 3: Well, first off, we're excited about the guys that are here.

63
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: I know Lamar's working hard. I know the guys that

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: aren't here are working hard, they're pros. And when they're here,

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: they're here, you know, and we look forward to getting

66
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: them here and getting up to speed to what we're

67
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: doing offensively. You know, I think that's probably the biggest challenge,

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 3: But it's football. You know, when they get it, they

69
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: get it and we'll get them up speed.

70
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 8: You talked about pace, you know, playing at a we're

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 8: tempo a coming season. It sounds like, on how important

72
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 8: is that and what have you seen so far that

73
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 8: in turn of that.

74
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 3: You, guys, well, it's early because we've only really been

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: on the field now week and a half, so we're

76
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: just in the infant stages of doing some of that.

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: But in terms of the installs and game dictates tempo.

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: Players dictate tempo, so as we move forward, we'll have

79
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: a better idea in terms of where that presents itself

80
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 3: for us.

81
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 4: Thought.

82
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 5: Let's say you have a quarterback with a speed of Lamar,

83
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: do you have a general philosophical preference for whether you

84
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: surround him with guys who are fast so you can

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: you know, have that on the field, maybe more spacing,

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 5: or starting with guys who are bigger so you have like,

87
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: you know, slower defensive matchups. I mean, do you have

88
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 5: a kind of preference for speed versus size but with

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 5: a guy of Lamar's talents.

90
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's uh, I'm not laughing at the question.

91
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 3: Please don't take it that way. It's just I just

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: you're always looking for big, fast, physical, smart at every position. Unfortunately, here,

93
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: you know, you draft players, and so you're just trying

94
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 3: to surround your quarterback with talent and trying to surround

95
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 3: him with players with unique skill sets that you can

96
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: try to take advantage of. You don't always have those choices.

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 3: At Georgia, we had probably a lot bigger advantages in

98
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: terms of choices in terms of who you had and

99
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: the matchups that you had, where here you don't. So

100
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: you just try to surround them with the most talent

101
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 3: you can, starting up front, because it always does start

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: upfront with the guys you have up front, and then

103
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: surrounding your quarterback with weapons that allows him to showcase

104
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 3: his ability, which is what every quarterback wants.

105
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: I just asked because I think James Jones said on

106
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 5: you know, his NFL show the other day that I

107
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: will quote him.

108
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 4: That you want to really play a lot of spread attacks.

109
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: For Lamarth mean, well, I mean I think that what

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 3: dictates spread You'd like to right, you'd like to be

111
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 3: able to spread the field, use every blade of grass.

112
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: What dictates that your ability to function doing that? Have

113
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: enough players that a defense would have to respect you know,

114
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 3: using all that, which is true, you'd love to be

115
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: able to have weapons where they have to defend every

116
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 3: skilled player that you have. So there, that's exactly right.

117
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: But then what takes you out of that injuries the

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 3: players that you have. This, you know, in terms of

119
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: are we up to speed in terms of I don't

120
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: want to say it, in terms of what the defense

121
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: presents itself to you, because the more spread out you get,

122
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: the more you have to put on your quarterback in

123
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: terms of issues in the run game or our pos

124
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: So the more condensed you are, sometimes you can protect

125
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: gaps and protect the quarterback a little bit more. So

126
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: some of that is, uh, you know, reliant on the

127
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 3: players that you have and the abilities that they have.

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 9: Just more broadly speaking, what do you see as the

129
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 9: possibilities now with all these wide receiver editions that that

130
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 9: you guys have had it?

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: Well, again, we're excited about one, you know, getting Bateman

132
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: back healthy. You know the other guys that have been

133
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 3: here that the organization drafted that. It's our our job,

134
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: our duty. We're in the development business to develop them

135
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: and to maximize their measurable skill set. That's what we're

136
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 3: paid to do. And the additions of Nelson and Odell

137
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: and say to add to the room. So I'm excited

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 3: when they all get here to see that and see

139
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: the competition and and our tight ends as well, Mark

140
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 3: and say, you know our running back room. I'm excited

141
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: to get started. But there is only one ball.

142
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 10: You're asked up your quarterback on board than in the

143
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 10: first five seasons, the Lamar in your kind of offense

144
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 10: and philosophy, you vision Lamar running less.

145
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: In your offense.

146
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 3: I don't want to say this again. I think it

147
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 3: goes back to the players that you have. I think

148
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 3: the more talented you are around your quarterback, the less

149
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: he has to burden take on that burden, shoulder the

150
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: load because you're excited about getting others the football where

151
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: they can utilize their skill set. So I think I

152
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 3: think that kind of answers itself. You know, I think

153
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 3: that as you get further into your career, you know,

154
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: as Lamar gets older, as everybody does. I mean, you know,

155
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: you know you want to you want to take some

156
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: of that off of the player as best as you can,

157
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 3: but he has a unique trait, a unique skill set.

158
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: You can't take that completely out of his toolbox, because

159
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: that's a huge weapon for him and for us is

160
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 3: using his feet.

161
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 11: Confact, from when you were hired to now, I mean

162
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 11: the the offensive, I guess a lot of skill position

163
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 11: players have been added. We're talking about Lamar and obj

164
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 11: and Zack and from your perspective, just kind of watching

165
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 11: the talent come in on that side of the ball, Like.

166
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 4: What's that been like?

167
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 11: You know, since you were hired to now watching the

168
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 11: collection of talent come here, well, it's a.

169
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: Lot more fun that way, you know. I mean it's

170
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 3: a you're paid to move the football and score so

171
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: and that's a lot easier with talented players. As always say,

172
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: cookies taste better with sugar than they do with vinegar,

173
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: so you surround yourself with sugar.

174
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 8: Going back to Plamark for a second, have you gone

175
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 8: in indication when he might be here?

176
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: And the same thing for Odell.

177
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 3: We're in constant communication with those guys and we're getting

178
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 3: him on, you know, opportunities to talk football and try

179
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: and catch them up to speed. And we're excited about

180
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 3: the guys that are here and I knew though that

181
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 3: they're working hard. We get updates from those guys in

182
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: terms of you know, working so again when that again,

183
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: it is voluntary, but we're excited. Like I said about

184
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: the guys that are here, But I do think that

185
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: we'll be able to get those guys here, hopefully in

186
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: a short amount of time. But until that happens, we'll

187
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: get up to speed with the guys we got.

188
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 7: And I know that you've been working with this idea

189
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 7: that Lamark would be a quarterback for a while. But

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 7: when he signs that extension, when everything's kind of set

191
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 7: in stone, is that change anything for your sense of

192
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 7: sort of imagination, inspiration, sort of feeling, this feeling that, Okay,

193
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 7: some of these concepts that I've been drawing up or

194
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 7: thinking up, they're actually gonna be executed with the guy

195
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 7: that I thought, h.

196
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: Well, I was imagining that, planning on him being here,

197
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: because if he wouldn't have been, that imagination kind of

198
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: you know, turns there, that dream turns into a nightmare.

199
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: So you're already imagining those things. You were already you

200
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: know when I took the job, it was because the organization, organization,

201
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 3: the structure of the head coach, the players that were here,

202
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: the players that were under contract. Hoping that Lamar would

203
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: be here and the excitement that I had in terms

204
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: of what I thought we could do or expand upon.

205
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: And that's not taking anything with from what they did,

206
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: because they did an unbelievable job with him. Uh, you know,

207
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: Greg did. And like I said, if you look back

208
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: at nineteen, it's not that long ago with the talent

209
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: that was around him and what they did offensively, and injuries,

210
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: you know, can hurt that. So I'm excited. Uh, I'm

211
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: excited that he signed the contract and he'll be with us,

212
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 3: as I'm sure a lot of people are sure t witch.

213
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 10: Your impressions of you signed up have to rookie in

214
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 10: quarterback Norman Anderson.

215
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 4: What kind of some of your initial and pleasures in them?

216
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: Well, he did a great job. You know, it's never

217
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 3: easy for those guys to come in on a weekend

218
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: and you jam, you know, installs down their throat. This

219
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 3: is what we've got to do, and they're in control

220
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: of the they're the epicenter of your communication. But I

221
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: thought he did a great job handling that. He showed

222
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: tremendous poise. Loved his confidence, and that's not easy, especially

223
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 3: if you go from a no huddle system to a

224
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 3: little bit of some of the things you're doing communication wise,

225
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 3: So I thought he did a great job. That was

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: I was very impressed.

Speaker 12: Unfortunately, it was very frustrating, but it's part of the game.

245
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 12: You learn that, you get over it. But yeah, definitely

246
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 12: was frustrating at first, And yeah, playing making a playoff push,

247
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 12: trying to impact the games, but you know, it is

260
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 6: early on here his offensive?

261
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 14: What?

262
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 4: What?

263
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,000

Speaker 4: Yeah?

265
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 12: No, it's been great. It's been great learning from him,

266
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 12: hearing him talk leading us, it's been great. I think

267
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 12: this year will be big for a lot of us.

268
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 12: And uh, you know, we're all excited about the offense.

269
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 13: You remember the moment when he found out Lamar's contract

270
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 13: is basically gone.

271
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 6: And what was that like?

272
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: Uh?

273
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 12: No, it was yeah, it was exciting. I was actually

274
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 12: I just landed, uh from a flight, but uh found out.

275
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 12: It's super excited. I knew you knew it was coming,

276
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 12: doesn't matter of when, but uh, yeah, super excited for him,

277
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 12: you know, and his family and you know for this team.

278
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 13: Devin, you've played with someone veteran wide receivers, but someone

279
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 13: like Odell Beckham joining the MiGs if they had a

280
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 13: chance to talk to him, and you know, what, are

281
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 13: you really hoping to.

282
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: Learn from things people?

283
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've talked to him a little bit, you know, definite.

284
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 12: I think like when he was big, I was like

285
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 12: in high school, So it'd definitely be kind of, you

286
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 12: know different, just getting to, you know, learn from a

287
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 12: guy like him, and uh, you know, someone you've been watching,

288
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 12: you know, for forever, you know, still doing it at

289
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 12: a high level. So so I'm excited about that.

290
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 6: During Lamar's rushet to peep throughout it like they from

291
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 6: six thousand yards as a receiver, I gotta believe that's

292
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 6: something that's kind of music to hear.

293
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 12: You're yeah, yeah, definitely looking forward to that.

294
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: Definite schedule gets from Thursday.

295
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 5: But today about being up the London game, just kind

296
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: of your reaction.

299
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 12: and uh, yeah, I think it'll be fun.

300
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 11: Aside from the game.

301
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 4: Is there anything you're four too, thou alongside.

302
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 12: I guess just being being in Europe experiencing it probably

303
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 12: some of the biggest thing.

304
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 5: Uh, what do you think this team, this offense could

305
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: be next year with both speed that you guys had.

306
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, everyone runs like a four four

307
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: four to three.

308
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 5: What kind of stress can I put on the defense

309
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 5: of the special n Lamar's the quarterback.

310
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, definitely, a ton, definitely a ton of different ways

311
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 12: to stress the field, do things. Got a ton of

312

372
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 15: working our footwork and making sure that's right before we

373
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 15: put bodies out in front of him and Chris.

374
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 5: Win, Trenton Sentmens got drafted and John Harbot said on

375
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,200

00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 4: Why is why isortonna love this guy?

377
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 15: I mean it was it was pretty easy to love

378
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 15: this guy. You turn on the tape, you watch you

379
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 15: watch him fly around, you watch him get to the football,

380
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 15: you watch him make plays. When I had the privilege

381
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 15: to evaluate that guy as a special teamer, uh, it

382
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 15: was it was a no brainer for me. Uh, I

383
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 15: want that kind of player. That's the kind of that

384
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 15: guy has the traits, those raven traits that we look for.

385
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 15: He was tough, he was fast, he was physical. Uh,

386
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 15: he loved playing football, and his energy was just off

387
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 15: the chart. And that's the kind of that's the kind

388
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 15: of players we've had in this building. So I truly

389
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 15: believe that guy's gonna do some good things for us

390
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 15: this year.

391
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: Did he do much of a team's work at comes In?

392
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 15: He did? He had early in his career, he played,

393
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 15: He played some teams. So I kind of go back

394
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 15: and I just want to watch him. I want to

395
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 15: see what he did when he wasn't the starter, because

396
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 15: that tells me a lot about players. Right what's his

397
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 15: one play mindset? You're not the starter right now? How

398
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 15: are you playing on teams in college? If you're flying

399
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 15: around that stuff translate to our game, Chris.

400
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 12: If you guys you signed Christian Well, Delgean Phillips, just

401
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 12: the sale dour wordy bunch of guys that played roles

402
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 12: in special teams.

403
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 4: How much is a continuity?

404
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 5: I know there's still fifty three to get to and

405
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 5: we have ways to go, but how much is a

406
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 5: continuity there when you but you know, you bring.

407
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 12: In guys that know the importance of special teams and

408
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 12: make sure you keep on that.

409
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 15: It's a It's a great building block for us to

410
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 15: have those guys around because they understand, they understand the culture,

411
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 15: they understand what we're looking for. And then when we

412
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 15: bring those those young guys and incorporate them into into

413
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 15: that group, it just it just carries on to what

414
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 15: we're trying to get done. Uh, having all those guys back,

415
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 15: I mean, they all play well for us. That's that's

416
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 15: that's that's our group, you know, and uh, you know,

417
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 15: all those guys we look forward to just having those

418
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 15: guys are on and getting them out there and let

419
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 15: them continue to work.

420
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 13: John mentioned z Flowers potentially being in the mix as

421
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 13: a returner when you watch him, I mean, obviously with

422
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 13: you see the athleticism, but what stands out that could

423
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 13: make him an exciting factor in that regard.

424
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 15: I mean, he's he's dynamic with the ball in his hands, right.

425
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 15: So I think a lot of the same things that

426
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 15: you saw from him on offense, catching the football, after

427
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 15: with the ball in his hands, after the catch, running,

428
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 15: all those abilities translate over to the punt return game.

429
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 15: But but more importantly it's uh, you know, you guys,

430
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 15: hear me say it every year. It's about catching the

431
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 15: ball first, right, And so he did have some returns.

432
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 15: He did have some returns in college. It was good

433
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 15: to see those. It was good to see those on tape.

434
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 15: And we're just gonna hone in on our fundamentals and

435
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 15: making sure that when we do put him out there

436
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 15: that you know what, secure the football first and let's work.

437
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,160
Speaker 15: But he did a great job in the rookie mini

438
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 15: camp with that. It was easy for him.

439
