0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. Today, we had

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>a chance to see some of the Ravens in action

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.120
<v Speaker 1>out on the practice field today as a team continued

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>football school, which is part of the voluntary off season program,

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>and we also had a chance to hear from wide

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>receiver and return man Devin Duverney, new offensive coordinator Todd Munkin,

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and special teams coordinator Chris Horton. First up, let's start

0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>with offensive coordinator Todd Munkin.

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Your football there's football school aspect here. What are you

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to kind of, you know, dear across and trying

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 2>to get you get across to the guys.

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 3>Of this Just putting our system. Really, that's that's really it.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, it's always fun to get back out with

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:47.919
<v Speaker 3>the players. I mean, that's what you do. As much

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 3>as you enjoy meeting and putting the plan together in

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 3>your playbook and what you want to do moving forward,

0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 3>there's nothing like having the players around.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 4>How do you feel like it's going so far?

0:00:56.800 --> 0:01:01.040
<v Speaker 3>The Oh, it's great. Were excited about the guys that

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.200
<v Speaker 3>are here and the installation and we're working through it.

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 3>What they've done the past, what I've done the past,

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>what our coach has been in the past and building

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 3>it the best way we know how.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 5>Is this just kind of like a ground up, you know,

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 5>construction of the offense for you, I assume it's probably

0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 5>the same whether you're returning to your former team or not.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 5>But it is that same consystem where you're just evaluating

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 5>everything you have and then trying to figure out what

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 5>could work on the paper.

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:33.479
<v Speaker 3>For sure, And I think it's always a little more

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.880
<v Speaker 3>challenging it was when I left the NFL went to Georgia,

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 3>and you're trying to assess the difference and levels difference

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 3>in terms of the players that you have. So it's

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>the same coming back the field, spacing the players that

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 3>you have, the issues you may have more at this

0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.440
<v Speaker 3>level that you don't at that level, and then the

0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:57.360
<v Speaker 3>types of players that you have. So I think that's

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>a great way of putting it from the ground up.

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>You're trying to assess, you know, what you've done the past,

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 3>what you've done in the past in the NFL, the

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.919
<v Speaker 3>players that you have, but making it, you know, simple,

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 3>so you can execute and play fast.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 6>If you're introductory preshcars. You talk a lot about space

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 6>players and how the game is changed in that regard

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 6>how good is the safe flowers who seem like you

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 6>would be about a perfect fit, and that in terms.

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 3>Of what you're looking to do for sure, you know,

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 3>I think whenever you acquire talent, I think that's what

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:30.000
<v Speaker 3>you're always trying to do. Then you assess, Okay, where

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>can you put those players in the best position to

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 3>showcase that talent. If you have a bigger receiver, then

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 3>you can do different things with them. You have a

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>space player, like say, you have to be creative in

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.160
<v Speaker 3>ways to get him the ball and showcase that I.

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 4>Mentioned the players that are here.

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 7>Have you got an impression of when Lamar Jackson.

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.800
<v Speaker 4>Maybe here for the program in spring?

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 7>And how long do you anticipate your starting quarterback into

0:02:57.680 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 7>your system before you fill you.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 6>Up to people?

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Well, first off, we're excited about the guys that are here.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I know Lamar's working hard. I know the guys that

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>aren't here are working hard, they're pros. And when they're here,

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 3>they're here, you know, and we look forward to getting

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:14.799
<v Speaker 3>them here and getting up to speed to what we're

0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 3>doing offensively. You know, I think that's probably the biggest challenge,

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 3>But it's football. You know, when they get it, they

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.120
<v Speaker 3>get it and we'll get them up speed.

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 8>You talked about pace, you know, playing at a we're

0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 8>tempo a coming season. It sounds like, on how important

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 8>is that and what have you seen so far that

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 8>in turn of that.

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 3>You, guys, well, it's early because we've only really been

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>on the field now week and a half, so we're

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>just in the infant stages of doing some of that.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 3>But in terms of the installs and game dictates tempo.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Players dictate tempo, so as we move forward, we'll have

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 3>a better idea in terms of where that presents itself

0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 3>for us.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 4>Thought.

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 5>Let's say you have a quarterback with a speed of Lamar,

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:05.400
<v Speaker 5>do you have a general philosophical preference for whether you

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 5>surround him with guys who are fast so you can

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, have that on the field, maybe more spacing,

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 5>or starting with guys who are bigger so you have like,

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, slower defensive matchups. I mean, do you have

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:21.039
<v Speaker 5>a kind of preference for speed versus size but with

0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:23.080
<v Speaker 5>a guy of Lamar's talents.

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, it's uh, I'm not laughing at the question.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 3>Please don't take it that way. It's just I just

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 3>you're always looking for big, fast, physical, smart at every position. Unfortunately, here,

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, you draft players, and so you're just trying

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.200
<v Speaker 3>to surround your quarterback with talent and trying to surround

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 3>him with players with unique skill sets that you can

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 3>try to take advantage of. You don't always have those choices.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.919
<v Speaker 3>At Georgia, we had probably a lot bigger advantages in

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>terms of choices in terms of who you had and

0:04:57.000 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 3>the matchups that you had, where here you don't. So

0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 3>you just try to surround them with the most talent

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 3>you can, starting up front, because it always does start

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>upfront with the guys you have up front, and then

0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.840
<v Speaker 3>surrounding your quarterback with weapons that allows him to showcase

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 3>his ability, which is what every quarterback wants.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.320
<v Speaker 5>I just asked because I think James Jones said on

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, his NFL show the other day that I

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 5>will quote him.

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 4>That you want to really play a lot of spread attacks.

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:29.280
<v Speaker 3>For Lamarth mean, well, I mean I think that what

0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 3>dictates spread You'd like to right, you'd like to be

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:34.359
<v Speaker 3>able to spread the field, use every blade of grass.

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 3>What dictates that your ability to function doing that? Have

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 3>enough players that a defense would have to respect you know,

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 3>using all that, which is true, you'd love to be

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 3>able to have weapons where they have to defend every

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 3>skilled player that you have. So there, that's exactly right.

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 3>But then what takes you out of that injuries the

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 3>players that you have. This, you know, in terms of

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 3>are we up to speed in terms of I don't

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 3>want to say it, in terms of what the defense

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.719
<v Speaker 3>presents itself to you, because the more spread out you get,

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 3>the more you have to put on your quarterback in

0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>terms of issues in the run game or our pos

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.760
<v Speaker 3>So the more condensed you are, sometimes you can protect

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 3>gaps and protect the quarterback a little bit more. So

0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 3>some of that is, uh, you know, reliant on the

0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 3>players that you have and the abilities that they have.

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 9>Just more broadly speaking, what do you see as the

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 9>possibilities now with all these wide receiver editions that that

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:38.880
<v Speaker 9>you guys have had it?

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:46.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, again, we're excited about one, you know, getting Bateman

0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:49.280
<v Speaker 3>back healthy. You know the other guys that have been

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:53.719
<v Speaker 3>here that the organization drafted that. It's our our job,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 3>our duty. We're in the development business to develop them

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 3>and to maximize their measurable skill set. That's what we're

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 3>paid to do. And the additions of Nelson and Odell

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.520
<v Speaker 3>and say to add to the room. So I'm excited

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 3>when they all get here to see that and see

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 3>the competition and and our tight ends as well, Mark

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.239
<v Speaker 3>and say, you know our running back room. I'm excited

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 3>to get started. But there is only one ball.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 10>You're asked up your quarterback on board than in the

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 10>first five seasons, the Lamar in your kind of offense

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 10>and philosophy, you vision Lamar running less.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 4>In your offense.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say this again. I think it

0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 3>goes back to the players that you have. I think

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:47.239
<v Speaker 3>the more talented you are around your quarterback, the less

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 3>he has to burden take on that burden, shoulder the

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:55.400
<v Speaker 3>load because you're excited about getting others the football where

0:07:55.400 --> 0:08:00.760
<v Speaker 3>they can utilize their skill set. So I think I

0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 3>think that kind of answers itself. You know, I think

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 3>that as you get further into your career, you know,

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 3>as Lamar gets older, as everybody does. I mean, you know,

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 3>you know you want to you want to take some

0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 3>of that off of the player as best as you can,

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 3>but he has a unique trait, a unique skill set.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 3>You can't take that completely out of his toolbox, because

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 3>that's a huge weapon for him and for us is

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 3>using his feet.

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 11>Confact, from when you were hired to now, I mean

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:30.239
<v Speaker 11>the the offensive, I guess a lot of skill position

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 11>players have been added. We're talking about Lamar and obj

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 11>and Zack and from your perspective, just kind of watching

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:40.679
<v Speaker 11>the talent come in on that side of the ball, Like.

0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:41.360
<v Speaker 4>What's that been like?

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 11>You know, since you were hired to now watching the

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 11>collection of talent come here, well, it's a.

0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Lot more fun that way, you know. I mean it's

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 3>a you're paid to move the football and score so

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:56.760
<v Speaker 3>and that's a lot easier with talented players. As always say,

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 3>cookies taste better with sugar than they do with vinegar,

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 3>so you surround yourself with sugar.

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.680
<v Speaker 8>Going back to Plamark for a second, have you gone

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 8>in indication when he might be here?

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:09.280
<v Speaker 4>And the same thing for Odell.

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.079
<v Speaker 3>We're in constant communication with those guys and we're getting

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 3>him on, you know, opportunities to talk football and try

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 3>and catch them up to speed. And we're excited about

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 3>the guys that are here and I knew though that

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 3>they're working hard. We get updates from those guys in

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>terms of you know, working so again when that again,

0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.320
<v Speaker 3>it is voluntary, but we're excited. Like I said about

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 3>the guys that are here, But I do think that

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>we'll be able to get those guys here, hopefully in

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.199
<v Speaker 3>a short amount of time. But until that happens, we'll

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 3>get up to speed with the guys we got.

0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:40.559
<v Speaker 7>And I know that you've been working with this idea

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.960
<v Speaker 7>that Lamark would be a quarterback for a while. But

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.680
<v Speaker 7>when he signs that extension, when everything's kind of set

0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 7>in stone, is that change anything for your sense of

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 7>sort of imagination, inspiration, sort of feeling, this feeling that, Okay,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.640
<v Speaker 7>some of these concepts that I've been drawing up or

0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:58.840
<v Speaker 7>thinking up, they're actually gonna be executed with the guy

0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 7>that I thought, h.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was imagining that, planning on him being here,

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 3>because if he wouldn't have been, that imagination kind of

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, turns there, that dream turns into a nightmare.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 3>So you're already imagining those things. You were already you

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 3>know when I took the job, it was because the organization, organization,

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 3>the structure of the head coach, the players that were here,

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 3>the players that were under contract. Hoping that Lamar would

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.280
<v Speaker 3>be here and the excitement that I had in terms

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 3>of what I thought we could do or expand upon.

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 3>And that's not taking anything with from what they did,

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 3>because they did an unbelievable job with him. Uh, you know,

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Greg did. And like I said, if you look back

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 3>at nineteen, it's not that long ago with the talent

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 3>that was around him and what they did offensively, and injuries,

0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 3>you know, can hurt that. So I'm excited. Uh, I'm

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.800
<v Speaker 3>excited that he signed the contract and he'll be with us,

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 3>as I'm sure a lot of people are sure t witch.

0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:01.200
<v Speaker 10>Your impressions of you signed up have to rookie in

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 10>quarterback Norman Anderson.

0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.880
<v Speaker 4>What kind of some of your initial and pleasures in them?

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Well, he did a great job. You know, it's never

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>easy for those guys to come in on a weekend

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:11.640
<v Speaker 3>and you jam, you know, installs down their throat. This

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.840
<v Speaker 3>is what we've got to do, and they're in control

0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.320
<v Speaker 3>of the they're the epicenter of your communication. But I

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 3>thought he did a great job handling that. He showed

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 3>tremendous poise. Loved his confidence, and that's not easy, especially

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.160
<v Speaker 3>if you go from a no huddle system to a

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.840
<v Speaker 3>little bit of some of the things you're doing communication wise,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 3>So I thought he did a great job. That was

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 3>I was very impressed.

0:11:35.240 --> 0:11:37.800

0:11:57.720 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 4>That took a couple of months.

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 12>But as far as where I'm at right now in

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.520

<v Speaker 12>but but feeling good though, feeling good making progress.

0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 4>That difficult was the completely harm display that you just much. Yeah,

0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.480
<v Speaker 4>I was just running. Yeah, how difficult was the timing

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:17.679
<v Speaker 4>of that?

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.559
<v Speaker 13>If you're playing so much, you guys are making a

0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 13>playoff push and just to finish this.

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, for sure it was.

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.400
<v Speaker 12>Unfortunately, it was very frustrating, but it's part of the game.

0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 12>You learn that, you get over it. But yeah, definitely

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 12>was frustrating at first, And yeah, playing making a playoff push,

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:33.560
<v Speaker 12>trying to impact the games, but you know, it is

0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 12>what it is that was so much change to.

0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.800
<v Speaker 11>The live recuper room and Mark coming back.

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Everything feels new.

<v Speaker 10>How do you feel like your plays right now in

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 10>that room and what you'll be able to contribute with

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 10>a wall?

0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 12>I mean I feel good. I feel good. You know,

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.080
<v Speaker 12>new year, new opportunity. All I can do is take

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 12>care of myself, work, work on myself, and uh, you know,

0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:53.840
<v Speaker 12>let the rest, you know, play out.

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.640
<v Speaker 6>And then when you said she has to off the top, manket,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:58.960
<v Speaker 6>you know, what are your impressions of what you've seen

0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:00.800
<v Speaker 6>early on here his offensive?

0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 14>What?

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 4>What?

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 9>What? What that will look like?

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 12>No, it's been great. It's been great learning from him,

0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.520
<v Speaker 12>hearing him talk leading us, it's been great. I think

0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 12>this year will be big for a lot of us.

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.320
<v Speaker 12>And uh, you know, we're all excited about the offense.

0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 13>You remember the moment when he found out Lamar's contract

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 13>is basically gone.

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 6>And what was that like?

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 12>No, it was yeah, it was exciting. I was actually

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 12>I just landed, uh from a flight, but uh found out.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.320
<v Speaker 12>It's super excited. I knew you knew it was coming,

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:30.319
<v Speaker 12>doesn't matter of when, but uh, yeah, super excited for him,

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 12>you know, and his family and you know for this team.

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 13>Devin, you've played with someone veteran wide receivers, but someone

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 13>like Odell Beckham joining the MiGs if they had a

0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 13>chance to talk to him, and you know, what, are

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 13>you really hoping to.

0:13:41.400 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 4>Learn from things people?

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, I've talked to him a little bit, you know, definite.

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.320
<v Speaker 12>I think like when he was big, I was like

0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:50.760
<v Speaker 12>in high school, So it'd definitely be kind of, you

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.480
<v Speaker 12>know different, just getting to, you know, learn from a

0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 12>guy like him, and uh, you know, someone you've been watching,

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 12>you know, for forever, you know, still doing it at

0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:00.000
<v Speaker 12>a high level. So so I'm excited about that.

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.640
<v Speaker 6>During Lamar's rushet to peep throughout it like they from

0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 6>six thousand yards as a receiver, I gotta believe that's

0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 6>something that's kind of music to hear.

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 12>You're yeah, yeah, definitely looking forward to that.

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 4>Definite schedule gets from Thursday.

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.200
<v Speaker 5>But today about being up the London game, just kind

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 5>of your reaction.

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 12>Vives and yeah, no, it's pretty cool. I've never been

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 12>to London. Excited about it and looking forward to it,

0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 12>and uh, yeah, I think it'll be fun.

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:25.800
<v Speaker 11>Aside from the game.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.720
<v Speaker 4>Is there anything you're four too, thou alongside.

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.920
<v Speaker 12>I guess just being being in Europe experiencing it probably

0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 12>some of the biggest thing.

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.080
<v Speaker 5>Uh, what do you think this team, this offense could

0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 5>be next year with both speed that you guys had.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you know, everyone runs like a four four

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 4>four to three.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 5>What kind of stress can I put on the defense

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 5>of the special n Lamar's the quarterback.

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, definitely, a ton, definitely a ton of different ways

0:14:52.160 --> 0:14:55.040
<v Speaker 12>to stress the field, do things. Got a ton of

0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.160
<v Speaker 12>different guys that can do a you know, a multitude

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 12>of things. So, like I said, and we you know, talk,

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 12>I think he's a guy for the job, and you know,

0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 12>we'll have a lot of fun.

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:06.920
<v Speaker 4>Did you watch bunch of Todd Monkins Georgia Hobbinson's happened?

0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 4>I know they run TV a lot last were going

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 4>to the chap Yep, Yeah, no, no, I did not.

0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 12>I don't watch too much college football, but yeah I didn't.

0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:15.040
<v Speaker 4>Didn't.

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 12>Didn't get to see a better heard about it though.

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, Todd's of offense feeling a pretty big departure from

0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 9>previous offenses and doesn't seem like a new language. You know,

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 9>how big of a change is it?

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 12>In so perfect that's not crazy you know, the verbage

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:29.600
<v Speaker 12>is kind of different, but uh, you know, I feel

0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 12>like at this level, you know, football's football. Everybody kind

0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 12>of runs kind of the same things, just kind of

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:37.600
<v Speaker 12>how you utilize them and you utilize different personnel.

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 4>Before you got heard.

0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:42.360
<v Speaker 14>You know you gotta put even Roll as a wide

0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 14>receiver offensively? How much do you think that will help

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.560

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 15>Uh of course, I mean, uh, I anytime you get

<v Speaker 15>right because that's our job. That's what we do.

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 14>Uh.

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 15>We're for football coaches and we're football players, the players

0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:06.879
<v Speaker 15>that are out there. So anytime you get to come

0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:10.159

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.679
<v Speaker 15>it's it's great. It's it's great for all the guys

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 15>to just learn that footwork to slow it down really

0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:22.359
<v Speaker 15>hone in the things that we really focus on that

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.399
<v Speaker 15>we believe is the foundation to our punt team and

0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 15>working our footwork and making sure that's right before we

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 15>put bodies out in front of him and Chris.

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 5>Win, Trenton Sentmens got drafted and John Harbot said on

0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:35.200
<v Speaker 5>Chris Warnin's gonna love this guy?

0:17:35.440 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Why is why isortonna love this guy?

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 15>I mean it was it was pretty easy to love

0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 15>this guy. You turn on the tape, you watch you

0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 15>watch him fly around, you watch him get to the football,

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 15>you watch him make plays. When I had the privilege

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 15>to evaluate that guy as a special teamer, uh, it

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.399
<v Speaker 15>was it was a no brainer for me. Uh, I

0:17:51.440 --> 0:17:53.879
<v Speaker 15>want that kind of player. That's the kind of that

0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:56.400
<v Speaker 15>guy has the traits, those raven traits that we look for.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.160
<v Speaker 15>He was tough, he was fast, he was physical. Uh,

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 15>he loved playing football, and his energy was just off

0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:04.280
<v Speaker 15>the chart. And that's the kind of that's the kind

0:18:04.320 --> 0:18:06.679
<v Speaker 15>of players we've had in this building. So I truly

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 15>believe that guy's gonna do some good things for us

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 15>this year.

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Did he do much of a team's work at comes In?

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:13.359
<v Speaker 15>He did? He had early in his career, he played,

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 15>He played some teams. So I kind of go back

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 15>and I just want to watch him. I want to

0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:19.639
<v Speaker 15>see what he did when he wasn't the starter, because

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 15>that tells me a lot about players. Right what's his

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 15>one play mindset? You're not the starter right now? How

0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 15>are you playing on teams in college? If you're flying

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 15>around that stuff translate to our game, Chris.

0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.480
<v Speaker 12>If you guys you signed Christian Well, Delgean Phillips, just

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 12>the sale dour wordy bunch of guys that played roles

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:38.680
<v Speaker 12>in special teams.

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:40.119
<v Speaker 4>How much is a continuity?

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.639
<v Speaker 5>I know there's still fifty three to get to and

0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.439
<v Speaker 5>we have ways to go, but how much is a

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 5>continuity there when you but you know, you bring.

0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 12>In guys that know the importance of special teams and

0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:50.359
<v Speaker 12>make sure you keep on that.

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.159
<v Speaker 15>It's a It's a great building block for us to

0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.120
<v Speaker 15>have those guys around because they understand, they understand the culture,

0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.919
<v Speaker 15>they understand what we're looking for. And then when we

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 15>bring those those young guys and incorporate them into into

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:06.479
<v Speaker 15>that group, it just it just carries on to what

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.560
<v Speaker 15>we're trying to get done. Uh, having all those guys back,

0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 15>I mean, they all play well for us. That's that's

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 15>that's that's our group, you know, and uh, you know,

0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 15>all those guys we look forward to just having those

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:18.439
<v Speaker 15>guys are on and getting them out there and let

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 15>them continue to work.

0:19:21.080 --> 0:19:23.600
<v Speaker 13>John mentioned z Flowers potentially being in the mix as

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 13>a returner when you watch him, I mean, obviously with

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 13>you see the athleticism, but what stands out that could

0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:30.920
<v Speaker 13>make him an exciting factor in that regard.

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 15>I mean, he's he's dynamic with the ball in his hands, right.

0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 15>So I think a lot of the same things that

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.680
<v Speaker 15>you saw from him on offense, catching the football, after

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.159
<v Speaker 15>with the ball in his hands, after the catch, running,

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 15>all those abilities translate over to the punt return game.

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 15>But but more importantly it's uh, you know, you guys,

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 15>hear me say it every year. It's about catching the

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.120
<v Speaker 15>ball first, right, And so he did have some returns.

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:55.360
<v Speaker 15>He did have some returns in college. It was good

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:57.080
<v Speaker 15>to see those. It was good to see those on tape.

0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.359
<v Speaker 15>And we're just gonna hone in on our fundamentals and

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 15>making sure that when we do put him out there

0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 15>that you know what, secure the football first and let's work.

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:07.160
<v Speaker 15>But he did a great job in the rookie mini

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:08.760
<v Speaker 15>camp with that. It was easy for him.

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:14.639
