1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: That's all. All. All that matters is winning at this point.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: Nothing else matters. Stats don't matter, No Pro Bowls don't matter.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: That was stolen ring that I thought I was gonna

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: get it. I was gonna get one of the rookie

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is easy. Well, I would hope

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: that that doesn't make the dinner. I assume that that's

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,079
Speaker 1: where it starts. Well, there's nothing wrong with a little

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: pancakes for dinner called breakfast for dinner. It's also pretty fun.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge. Tough loss to Patriots and another

10
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: big game coming up. But you know what, Garrett, you

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: know what, things are a little salty around Baltimore right

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: now following that Patriots loss. And you know me, you know,

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: we come in after a loss on a on a

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: typical Monday, when we come into the office together and

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: you know, well, it's unfiltered. It's unfiltered. But I am

16
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: mr optimistic this week. Glass is half full this week, okay.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not just saying, you know, it's not all

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: rainbows and sunshine, obviously, but I I just I'm sending

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: a little too much down from you, from you, Garrett

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: and the rest of Baltimore. Well, I uh, I'm if

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: we were having this conversation on Monday morning at ten am,

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious if you would have been Mr optimistic at

23
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: that point. No, even Sunday night when we were talking

24
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: about it, you felt good. Me, you and the comp

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I didn't feel good, but me, you and the common man.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: I was like, ah, you know, bla, blase blase. You know,

27
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: given my different reasons for why this wasn't such an

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: embarrassing loss. Well, look, I think that there is obviously

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: negativity about in Baltimore right now. All of it goes

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: back to, as we've talked about a million times this year,

31
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: all of it goes back to we're just comparing it

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: to last year, and last year looked felt easy and

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: it was so fun all you really really from that

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: Seahawks game from the rest of the way it was,

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: it was so much fun um And so when it

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: doesn't look like that and you're you're struggling on offense

37
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: a little bit more and you're loose into a Patriots

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: team is three and five, there's frustration. And I think

39
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: the bigger, you know, the thing that's more concerning than

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: just some of the frustrations over the course of the year.

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: Is now the injuries are piling up. I thought that

42
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 1: was the thing that was most disappointing about the Patriots game. Sure,

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: the loss, it's stunk, but I thought you could attribute

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: that to there was weather, there was some really ill

45
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: timed offensive misques um. But the thing that's concerning from

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: me moving forward with the injuries, it's just I mean,

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: it's it's an issue. You lose, you lose Nick Boyle,

48
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: who does so much under the radar, but he's so good.

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: The offensive line. I've been talking about the offensive line

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: since since March, and it's just gotten worse because of

51
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: the injuries. Um, and you know, and now Scurs dealing

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: with the issues on the snaps. So that is like

53
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: the concern moving forward beyond just man, it sucks to

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: losing the Patriots in that game. I completely agree the

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: injuries are a problem. But Brandon Williams and Clays Campbell

56
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 1: are going to come back. We don't know about whether

57
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna be for this Sunday's games. I hope, So

58
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: we don't know, uh, but they're gonna be back in

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: not that long. Okay. So the defense, you know, Jimmy Smith,

60
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: I assume it's going to be back and not that long.

61
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: He missed the past two weeks. He just missed. He's

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 1: just last week with the ankle exactly. Um So, it's

63
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: it's really on offense. Okay, but here's why I'm not sorry.

64
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: Let's take a pause to say, we are going to

65
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: get to our guests today, which is Derek Wolfe, who

66
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: we have confirmed is not injured. So we've got a

67
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: healthy guy on the d line. That's that's the starting point.

68
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: I guess started. That's the starting point. Um So. But anyway,

69
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: here's why I don't feel as down in the dumps

70
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: about the offense as I think a lot of people

71
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: around Baltimore deal. I think Lamar Jacks is kind of

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: starting to feel it. I think he's kind of starting

73
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to put it together a little bit. I I was like,

74
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: really worried. I was really worried two or three weeks

75
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: ago when I thought he just like the body language,

76
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: the completion, all that, it just wasn't good. I kind

77
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: of start I kind of think he's starting to heat up. Okay,

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: And I mean he threw for two nine yards against

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 1: New England in a monsoon, in a monsoon. That was

80
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: the second most passing yards he's had this season. He

81
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: completed seventy of his passes the week before in indian Indiana, Indiana, Indianapolis, Indianapolis.

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: There we go. He completed of his passes. That was

83
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: a season high. Okay. I kind of think Lamar's heating

84
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: up a little bit and and he's gonna have to

85
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: because the Ravens are gonna have to throw the ball more.

86
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: I think without Nick Boyle out there, and with the

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: offensive line that's being shuffled, you know that there's a

88
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: lot of question marks. That's the silver lining and the

89
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: only silver lining. And I would prefer not to have

90
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: this silver lining as always, I'd rather have the gold lining.

91
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: But the silver lining is with Nick Bole's injuries, is

92
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,559
Speaker 1: that we're gonna find out about Lamar Jackson. We're gonna

93
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: see whether he can kind of carry a passing offense.

94
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: Now I'm not I don't think the Ravens are all

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden going to pass, you know, that's just

96
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: not who they are. But it's gonna be heavier pass

97
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see it because you know, and and

98
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I hope that one day, one day, Garrett, we look

99
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: back on this day, November nine, and we say this

100
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: is the day when we knew that Lamar Jackson was

101
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: going to take the next step as a passer, right

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see it over the course of the season.

103
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: That's that is a needed step in Lamar Jackson's career progression,

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: and I think this may have let's hope this may

105
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: accelerate it a little bit. Well. The Raves have talked

106
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: about how you build your offense, you build your team

107
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: around your strengths. Last year, their strength obviously we're running

108
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: the football, and they had three really good tight ends,

109
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: probably the best overall tight end group, I think pretty

110
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: clearly the best overall tight a group in the league.

111
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: That three headed monsters. Now one headed monster and it's

112
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: it's Mark Andrews with Hayden Hurst and Atlanta and now

113
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: the injury to Nick Boyle, so they're not going to

114
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: be able to run some of the same things, some

115
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,679
Speaker 1: of the heavy packages that they have in the past

116
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: two years with these tight ends like that is going

117
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: to change the offense. Nick does so much in the

118
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: running game, he does so much as an extra blocker

119
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 1: and when protection is needed, like the Ravens are gonna

120
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: have to pass marks. I think they're gonna have to

121
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: pass more. I don't think they're gonna be as good

122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: of a running team without Nick Boyle on this offense,

123
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: and the and the injuries on the offensive line. So

124
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I can see this. There is gonna be more on

125
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Lamar shoulders. I agree with you that I think he's

126
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: heating up. I like, I thought the offense played well

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I thought great Roman dialed up a good

128
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: game plan. I really did. Um. I thought that, Um,

129
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: they were in good position. Basically, what killed the blew

130
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 1: their foot off. They just ill times mistakes, ill time mistakes.

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: The interception before halftime, Lamar was trying to make a play.

132
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: I get that. I like that aggressiveness. But it was

133
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: a bad decision. Hollywood was covered and it was it

134
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: was it was an unnecessary play. Um. I think that

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: was he didn't he didn't throw it outside enough. It

136
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: just wasn't a great throw. I don't you know. I mean,

137
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: how many times do you say, hey, one on one,

138
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: give your guy a chance. He just didn't make a

139
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: great throw in my opinion, and Hollydood would make a

140
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: great play on the ball. Yeah, So there you go.

141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: But I don't. I don't fault the I don't fault

142
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: the decision as much as I do the execution on that.

143
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: But the thing, the thing about the offense, like to

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and it's not. Of course, every team

145
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: has mistakes every game, right, It's not like you can

146
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: just be like it was a great game if we

147
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: didn't make mistakes, you know, but these are like obvious,

148
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: like big time I mean big moments like the snaps

149
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: that is hopefully an anomaly, you know what I mean,

150
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: Like like that's not gonna happen every game to cost you.

151
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson isn't gonna turn the ball over four times

152
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: and you know, almost never that was a career are

153
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: high against Pittsburgh. So it's not like and really in

154
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: both those games, despite those huge, a typical mistakes that

155
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: really changed the game, the Ravens still should have won

156
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: both games. In my opinion, Yeah, they still should have

157
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: won the Ravens. This is why I don't feel so

158
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 1: bad about having three losses because in my opinion, the

159
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Ravens only really got beat beat once. The Kids City

160
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs beat us. That was bad, that was bad, But

161
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: these past two losses, in my opinion Ravens should have

162
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: beat the Steelers. Yeah. The difference there is do you

163
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: feel like you feel like you beat yourselves against the Steelers?

164
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: And if the Ravens stopped beating themselves, they won't take

165
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: so many else right, So, and I think that they

166
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: are certainly more than capable of doing that. And so

167
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: I think that there is something to be said for

168
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: being battle tested and having to deal with some of

169
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: these losses and deal with adversity. They didn't. They just

170
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: didn't deal with much adversity last year. They just did. Um.

171
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,960
Speaker 1: And and so when you when that's the case, okay, great,

172
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: you know you refer to win every game, no question

173
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: about it. But there is something to be said for

174
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: dealing with adversity. They're dealing with it this year. Um,

175
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: And I think that is going to help them in

176
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: the long term. Now we're gonna adversity that doesn't help them.

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Ending injuries not help you in any way. No, No,

178
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: there's there's no lesson to be learned in that, you know,

179
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: um so, Um, that is gonna be difficult. Um. But

180
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: before we welcome in our guests, we want to remind

181
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: our fans to take a Crown Royal water break and moderate.

182
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: You're drinking Crown Royal Canadian whiskey. So with all that said,

183
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: let's talk to a guy who knows what it takes

184
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. He's done it, he's seen it,

185
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: he's been to two Super Bowls. So let's go ahead

186
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: and welcome in our guest, Derek Wolfe, right after we

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: take this quick break. With every new season, there's new

188
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: challenges to overcome, and RAM trucks are built to crush

189
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: every single one of our They're powerful to pend endable

190
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: with the back to back motor trend truck of the year.

191
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: But beneath that hardened exterior, the RAM fifteen hundred offers

192
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: a standard of comfort with rear legroom designed for a

193
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:13,239
Speaker 1: comfortable lead, and the available rear auto leveling air suspension

Speaker 1: cash allowances and exceptional leice offers, go to Ram dot

196
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: com today. All right, Derek, thanks so much for joining

197
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: us today. Uh So, when we talk to you back

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: in uh March when the Ravens signed you, one of

199
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: the things we talked about was that they brought you

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: here to stop the run. And obviously Derrick Henry is

201
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: a guy who knows how to run the football pretty

202
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: well and stopping him. As one of the guys they

203
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: wanted you to be here to uh, you know, they

204
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: had him in mind, I think when they signed you.

205
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 1: So how do you feel going into this week's game

206
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: against the Titans? Uh? Now, I feel pretty good about it.

207
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm pretty confident and our ability to stop the run. Obviously,

208
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: the Titans are gonna come in here and they're gonna

209
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: try to run the ball for sure, you know. So, uh,

210
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm pretty confident our guys and I think

211
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be able to stop this stop

212
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: this guy. You know, I think we've gotta do everything

213
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: we possibly can to stop that run because the strength

214
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: of our defense. You know, the strength of our team

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 1: is our defense right now. So you know, if we

216
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: can't stop the run, then you know we have no hope.

217
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: So we gotta we gotta get back on track. You know,

218
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: every every every every champion has a has a I

219
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: like to call humble pie, right. You know, we gotta

220
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: fed some humble pie last week. You know, nobody's really

221
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball on us, and you

222
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 1: know we got the ball ran on us. Last week,

223
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: so we gotta make sure we go out there this

224
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: week and shut it down and make it no question.

225
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, obviously he's gonna get a couple here and there,

226
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: but you know nothing, no big runs. Gotta stop the

227
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: splash plays because that's what Derrick Henry does. He kills you.

228
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: They run, run, run, run, and finally he bust a

229
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: big one, and you know it takes your confidence away.

230
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: So you just got to move on to the next

231
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: snap and uh and just keep grinding and keep pushing,

232
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: keep keep working. I like pumpkin pie a lot more

233
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: than humble pie. Absolutely. What is your favorite type of pie?

234
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Pumpkin pumpkin? Okay, alright, that my kind of guy. Do

235
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: you like pumpkin beer? No? Really, you couldn't you? You

236
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: just stopped short on the pumpkin beer. I mean, I

237
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: just I don't know, Like, if I'm gonna drink a beer,

238
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna drink a beer. You know, what do you

239
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: want to? You want to you want a manly beer?

240
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Whoa is that? What is that what you're saying? Hey,

241
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean I love pumping so I'm not hating pumps.

242
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm not judging, you know, Derek. I wanted to have

243
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: you on the pod today because this has turned into

244
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: an episode of Survivor, okay, and I wanted to make

245
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: sure that all your vital signs were good and that

246
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: you're good to play, because what the hell has happened

247
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: to the defensive line? Dude, Calais and Brandon Man, It's

248
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: just it's football. It's a physical game, man, especially in

249
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: the trenches. And you know, you know, I was banged

250
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: up a little early early in the season. Nobody's at

251
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: this point the season like, show me a guy in

252
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: the league that is at and I'll call you a

253
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: liar because it just doesn't happen. You know, you don't stay.

254
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: You don't stay. So I mean, with with those injuries,

255
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: how much do you feel kind of lands on your shoulders?

256
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 1: You know, I mean it's it's you and Justin Ellis

257
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: are kind of the vets on the defensive line, and

258
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: then some young guys. How much do you kind of

259
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: put on your shoulders to be that leader out there?

260
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: You know? Uh? You know, I try to lead. I

261
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: try to lead with my play, you know what I mean,

262
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't I don't try to. I don't really say

263
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, I just try to coach those

264
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: guys up whenever I see something. But you know, I

265
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: don't really feel any at you know, pressures even either

266
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: felt or applied. So you know, I don't really feel pressure.

267
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: I just try to. I just try to. I don't

268
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: have to. I just keep playing my game, you know

269
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like, I'm just gonna keep doing what

270
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: I do. I'm not gonna try to do anything extra,

271
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, because that's when you get that's when the

272
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: mistakes happen. You know, you just keep doing what you do,

273
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: what's been working for you for your whole career, and

274
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: you know everything will work out. Mm hm. So you

275
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: you talked about how you know every team kind of

276
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: has to go through a tough patch and get served

277
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: that humble pie. How would you sort of assess describe

278
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: the mood like this week after the Patriots game. Obviously

279
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: everyone was ticked off and it's disappointing, and it was

280
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: nasty weather just it just was bad, you know, it

281
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: just it just left a bad taste. How how would

282
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: you kind of describe the mood this week? I would say,

283
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: I would you know, I think that you know, with

284
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: what the everything that's going on with this COVID and

285
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: you know what the owners talking about going to an

286
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: early playoff, an eight team playoffs. We have every game

287
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: is like a playoff game. You know, it has been

288
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: for the last two weeks. And you know, it felt

289
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: like we lost a playoff game last week. So it's like, Okay,

290
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: we've got another chance to bounce back here against the

291
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: team that beat us last year and you know, a

292
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: team that we that that we know well. So it's

293
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: like we came into practice yesterday and it was full pads,

294
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: thirty degrees outside, and we had probably one of the

295
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: best practices this season that we've had, you know, and

296
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: nobody was nobody was complaining, nobody's winding, and nobody was

297
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: feeling sorry for themselves. It's just, look, man, you get

298
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta move on to the next one.

299
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: We can't think about the last one. I just gotta

300
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: fix what fix what we did wrong and come back

301
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: and just try to get a win. That's all. All

302
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: all that matters is winning at this point. Nothing else matters.

303
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: Stats don't matter, none of the Pro Bowls don't matter.

304
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta win so that if something happens,

305
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure we got our spot solidified in

306

308
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: this like scare because you know, going into the season,

309
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: it was almost all the talk around the team was, oh,

310
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: you went fourteen to two last year, Like can you

00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: can you get to the super Bowl? And now all

313
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's like whoa jeez, Like this is

00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: like the team is has gotten awarding shot? Almost? That's

318
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: what like, it's that humble pie, you know when people

319
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: when you start reading your own press clippings, sometimes you know,

320
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: it can come back to bite you. Now you start

321
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: reading all the good things that people say about you,

322
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: and you know, and we'll see who it really rides

323
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: with us? Right now? You know, like who really rides

324
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: with this team? Who's really who's really here to win

325
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Who's really you know, because I've you know,

326
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: I've been a part of teams that made it to

327
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl that we had a you know, we

328
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: were just running through teams the whole season and then

329
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: we get to the Super Bowl and lose, and the

330
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: and then the team that I was with, the with

331
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: the Broncos that won the Super Bowl. You know, we

332
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: we didn't win games by more than seven points. Like

333
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: every game was like last last play of the game winners,

334
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, last drive winners. And it

335
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: was like all put on the defense to go go

336
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: out there and do it, so, you know, and then

337
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: we made it. The easiest game that we had on

338
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: defense was in the Super Bowl, you know, because together

339
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: for us, so you know, we played we I just

340
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: think that I think that we're gonna be in that

341
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: same kind of situation, where as ad you know, we

342
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: have to look at all the injuries on the other

343
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: side of the ball as well. You know, we have

344
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: We're lucky that we're lucky that we didn't have any

345
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: season indian ending injuries on our especially in the front.

346
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: You know. So it's like, you know, we gotta we

347
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: gotta be able to compliment our offense, and our offense

348
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: has to be able to compliment us. And you know,

349
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: as long as they don't turn the ball over and

350
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: they can keep scoring points like they're doing. You know,

351
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: we should be fun. I'm curious why, like what made

352
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: this practice on Wednesday so great? I just think it

353
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: was the sense of urgency, you know what I mean.

354
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 1: It was there was a sense of urgency out there,

355
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: you know, of what we need to do, how we

356
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: need to do it. And everybody was getting their job done.

357
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: You know, our offense, their offensive line was playing tough

358
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: and you know, doing the right doing the right blocks,

359
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: putting the blocks in there that way we need to

360
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: see it. And you know, every it was playing physically,

361
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Stop with the running back

362
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: and I let him run through, and you know, just

363
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: doing the little things get you a long way. It's

364
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting because you don't see any I mean, it's

365
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: no secret there's not a ton of physical practices in

366
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: the NFL once you get to November December. Most of

367
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: those physical practices are happening early in the season in

368
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: training camp and they kind of dial it back. Um.

369
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. You know, when I saw the team

370
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: in full path yesterday, it was kind of clear that

371
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: it was it was gonna be one of those days

372
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 1: like you're talking about where they you know, you get

373
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: after it a little bit. Yeah, and you know that's

374
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: always tough coming, you know, coming from a physical game

375
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: we just played, you know, on a Sunday night, and

376
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,119
Speaker 1: then you know, two days later you're back out are

377
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: and full pads again. You know, it's a sense of urgency.

378
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: You have to have a sense of urgency. It would

379
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: be a different story if we went out there and

380
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: stuff to run and shut that shut the shut them

381
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,919
Speaker 1: out and you know, you know we could probably come

382
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: in and relax a little bit and you know, take

383
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: care of ourselves. But there was no time for that.

384
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,479
Speaker 1: We've got young guys that have to be ready to go.

385
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, we got this young d linemen you know

386
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: that are that are playing good. We've gotta get they

387
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: gotta play better, you know, they just just the way

388
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: it is. You mentioned last year's playoff loss, and obviously

389
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: you weren't part of the team then, but you still

390
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: seem like you still feel it like that that is

391
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: resonating throughout the team this week. Is that true? Yeah,

392
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: because I've been a part of like I said, I've

393
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: been a part of teams that for four years straight.

394
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 1: In Deniver I was the number one seed. We were

395
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: the number one seed in the a f C. And

396
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: we only got we only got one ring out of it.

397
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: We lost twice, once to the Ravens in the first

398
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: round in divisional round, and then we lost to the

399
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: Colts again to that. Yeah, that was awful. That was

400
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: stolen ring that I thought I was gonna get. I

401
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: was gonna get one of the rookie was like, oh,

402
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: this is easy. Yeah. And then the next season we

403
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: made it to the Super Bowl, got you know, Molly

404
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: wapped by the by the Seahawks, and then you know,

405
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: we had a really good football team that my third

406
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: season there, and we lost in the first the first

407
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: divisional round to um the Colts. You know. Then finally

408
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: we just barely got that first you know, Miami beats

409
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: New England and puts us in the number one seed

410
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: in two thousand fifteen and the playoffs had to come

411
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: through Denver and just everything worked out for us. So,

412
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: you know, I've been a part of teams that there

413
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 1: were four you know, we worked for fourteen and two

414
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 1: and lost in the first round. You know, win twelve games,

415
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 1: then losing the first round. It's like, you know what, now,

416
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: what what can you do? You know, it's just like

417
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: you gotta be you gotta be ready to go when

418
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: January gets here, you know, I mean, you gotta put

419
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: your set yourself up for January and make sure everybody

420
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: is healthy and ready to go by January. That is.

421
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: You have an interesting perspective on that, like, do you

422
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: feel like the team that you want a Super Bowl

423
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: within Denver was the best team that you played on? No? Right, Like,

424
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: I feel like the Ravens team twenty eleven was better

425
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: than the Ravens team in twelve, and the Ravens won

426
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: it in twelve, but it doesn't matter. I mean, might

427
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: have been the best of all and the twenty nineteen

428
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: team is probably the best team in team history potentially,

429
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: but they didn't win it. Um And so it's like,

430
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: is that something that you had all talked to do

431
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: you talk about that and basically say, like, right now,

432
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't look as as clean as it did last

433
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: year for the Ravens. Everything last year looks so easy

434
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: and it was just everything worked, and it's a little

435
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: a bit more of a grind this year. And there's

436
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: a team six and three right now and not completely

437
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: running away with games like they did at times last year.

438
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: But I guess the point is like, it doesn't matter

439
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: if you if it looks great and you get bounced

440
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: in the first round, you can be a struggle like

441
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: the year that you want a super Bowl in Denver.

442
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: But once you get to the playoffs, it doesn't matter

443
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: if it looks bad. If you win games, that's all

444
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: that's important. All that matters is winning. It doesn't matter

445
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: if you win by one point or fifty points. The

446
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: win is a win. So you just gotta do whatever

447
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: you gotta do to win. Uh. And you know, I

448
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: think that I think that you can do. I know

449
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: that in Denver having Peyton Manning and having a you know,

450
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: the highest scoring offense and you know the number one

451
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: he had to get Peyton as the m v P

452
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,000
Speaker 1: got these superstars on that side of the ball. And

453
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: I know that, I know that we we got spoiled

454
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: with that, you know what I mean, that's a defense.

455
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: We were spoiled because we could give up a play

456
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: here and give up a play there. It wasn't a

457
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: big deal. The offense will cover for us. Well, when

458
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: the offense is not covering for you, you have to

459
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: make those stops. And that's what we made a choice

460
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: in two thousand and fifteen, Like, look, our offense isn't

461
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: rolling like we're used to, so it's time for us

462
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: to to you know, we gotta it's time to nut

463
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: up or shut up. Man. We gotta come out here

464
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: and make stops and get turnovers and set it up

465
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: so they get can get easy points and score on defense.

466
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 1: And you know, we just gotta we gotta keep doing

467
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: that stuff. And you know, obviously injury has taken take

468
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: into account. You don't have the same guys out there

469
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: this COVID stuff. We didn't have the same kind of

470
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: time as you know, like like a Kansas city who's

471
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: been together for you know how many years, And now

472
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: that's that's huge, building building trust and knowing how the

473
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: guy beside you works and how they play and you

474
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: know what they're thinking, and knowing each other's families. We

475
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: haven't got to do any of that stuff, you know,

476
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: because of COVID. So you know, it takes takes years

477
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: to build a championship team, you know what I mean.

478
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes the team will come in and boom, win it.

479
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: But you know, you saw last year, you know, you

480
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: got this great football team one of the best in

481
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: franchise history, you know, a record setting offense, and then

482
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 1: still all it takes us for one team to beat

483
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: you at the right time, and then it's it's all

484
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 1: for nothing. Right, I feel like that should be the

485
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: bottom of the week this week. Not up, shut up,

486
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: that's the bottom, all right? How how how do you

487
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: tackle Derrick Henry? I mean the guys two inches shorter

488
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: than you and what like twenty pounds thirty pounds later

489
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: than you. I mean, this this guy is like a

490
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: linebacker running at you. How do you tackle Derrick Henry?

491
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 1: It's like a defense, it really is. It's like an

492
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: outside linebacker with the football in his hand. Uh. You

493
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: know the guys. The guy's a freak. You know he

494
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: won two rushing titles and it's that's not for no reason. Um,

495
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, so he does a good job. When you

496
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: tackle this guy, you gotta tackle him. I his at

497
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: his waist. You gotta tackle his waist. You can't if

498
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: you go up high, he's gonna stiff arm me in

499
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: the face and you're gonna be You're gonna be on top,

500
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, sports center toch So you know you gotta

501
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: tackle him at his waist, and you gotta respect him

502
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: as a player because you know if if you lead up,

503
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna run you over. You know, he's

504
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna come downhill and he's gonna put his helmet right

505
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: in your chest and run you over. So he's gonna

506
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: stiff arm you on the edge. Like it's one of

507
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: those guys where you have to you have to come

508
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: with everything you got, you know, and drive your legs.

509
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: When you get to get ahold of him, I kind

510
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: of feel like he's a little bit like Lamar. And

511
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,959
Speaker 1: then every week when teams going to face Lamar, they're like,

512
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to end up on the Lamar Jackson mixtape. Okay,

513
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to have my ankles broken. And it's

514
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: the same thing with Derrick Henry, except with the stiff arm. Well,

515
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: you know, I think with Lamar it's it's kind of

516
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: like how Kim was in two thousand and fifteen when

517
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: he was the m v P. You know, he was

518
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: damn you know, he was making people look silly, running

519
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: people over and you know, run taking you know, throwing

520
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 1: the ball, running the ball, doing everything and making everybody

521
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: look like silly. And when it came time for the

522
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You know, we were like, look, man, we're

523
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna look like that. So you're making an emphasis

524
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: to hit him, and you see what people are doing

525
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: to THEMRM and they're like, you know, making it an

526
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: emphasis to like hit him, and they're trying to you know,

527
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say they're targeting him, but they're you know,

528
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: they're trying to make sure they get him to the

529
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 1: ground by any means necessary. It's swarming them. You know.

530
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: That's how you get guys like that. You gotta swarm them.

531
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: You know, you have to have the all eleven guys

532
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: on defense, Sea ball, get ball. Mm hmm. So what

533
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: do you think of your first year in Baltimore? What

534
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: do you think of the team, the organization, just your

535
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: whole experience. Obviously it's a weird year, you mention COVID

536
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: and so you can't really like go out and do

537
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: much of anything. But what are your impressions about being

538
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: here for your first season? You know, I love the organization,

539
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, I love being in the building like I

540
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, I love coming to work every day. Um,

541
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, I there's nothing I can say that, there's

542
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: nothing bad. I have to say about it, you know,

543
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: all good stuff. It's you know, it's a great work

544
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: environment that you know, it's a family environment. You know,

545
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: they treat you like family around here. So um, you

546
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: know it's it's been really pleasant for me. Nice and

547
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: uh do you get I saw pat Ricard had his

548
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: door dash stolen when you order, When you order food

549
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: around Baltimore, you gotta watch it. Apparently now you gotta

550
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: watch your food. Man. How how how has it been

551
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: for you, you know, just dealing with with all this

552
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: away from the field and like all that entails, not

553
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: being able to explore the city at all, you know,

554
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: all that stuff, especially as a new guy, it's gotta

555
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: be weird. Yeah, I mean for me, I'm a homebody.

556
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't really like to go do anything anyways. That's

557
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: more of my wife. Like my wife's like forces me

558
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 1: kind of together. I mean I wouldn't say kind of.

559
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 1: She definitely, like I thought, she's like an outside cat, right,

560
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Like if you take an outside cat, like, yeah, they

561
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 1: enjoy being in the house, you know, for a little while,

562
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: but they start getting crazy and tearing things up whenever

563
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: you keep him in the house for too long. So

564
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: you go that's you know, that's like, that's my wife.

565
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: You know, she does not like to be in the house,

566
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: to be out doing stuff and being active. And you

567
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: know me, I'm active all day at work, so I

568
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: want to come home and chill. So, you know, me,

569
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't mind it. But I would say that, you know,

570
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: the hardest part of the COVID stuff is it's like

571
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: spending weeks and months at a time away from my

572
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: family because you know, she stays back in Denver and

573
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, comes out every now and then, but you know,

574
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: during flu season, I don't expect her to bring my

575
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, one and a half year old daughter here

576
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,479
Speaker 1: on a plane get her sick. You know, it's just

577
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: it's what's best for her. And you know that's the

578
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: hardest part, man, just being away from my kids. Yeah,

579
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 1: that's tough. That's tough. Well, we hope that, unfortunately for you,

580
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: that you're away from a little bit longer because we've

581
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: got to get the playoffs. So I'm sorry, but yeah,

582
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: you have plenty of times after February fourth, or whatever

583
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: the super Bowl date is, spend as much time as

584
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: possible go wherever you need to go. After after that

585
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl date, whatever that is. I mean, it's it's

586
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: not to me. It's you know, any anything good, Nothing

587
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: good comes without sacrifice. So you know, if I have

588
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: to sacrifice, you know a little bit. You know, hopefully

589
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: my are still young enough that she won't remember that,

590
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gone. You know, she's I get the

591
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: FaceTime or you know, a couple of times a day,

592
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: but you know that's pretty worthless because she's not trying

593
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: to be on a FaceTime call. So you know, I do.

594
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's really like after work, you know,

595
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: coming home after you know, like yesterday, I just really

596
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: wanted to see my daughter, you know, and it was

597
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: like I just hold her, you know. But yeah, yeah,

598
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: I'll get over it. It'll be fine. It will it will,

00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: you know, this will this will fly by and it'll

628
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: where it begins. Well, I would hope that that doesn't

629
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: the dinner dish. I assume that that's where it starts. Well,

650
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: I guess, okay, all right, I like you know what

651
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: I miss is Victory food truck Tuesday. That's that's the

652
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: biggest downfall that I used to feed my family for

653
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: a week. I know, not having that that that has

654
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: hit hard. That has hit hard. Yeah, yeah, anyway, alright,

655
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: moving on. We got an email here from Zach Lynn says, Hey,

656
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: Garrett and Ryan, it's your favorite Indiana listener again. This

657
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: Titan's matchup has gotten to my head after how we

658
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: ended our season last year with them. It's worrisome thinking

659
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: about playing them again after such a horrible moment in

660
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: our Ravens family. What's your thoughts? Only really really cheering

661
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: us up here, what's the question, what's your thoughts on

662
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: a big Ravens revenge game versus King Henry and his guys.

663
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: We are the Ravens gonna exact revenge. Do you feel

664
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: the revenge? What do you think, Garrett? Well, I do

665
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: think it's worth noting that players. You know, Lamar Jackson

666
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: said he he's not looking at it as a revenge.

667
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: That's a bunch of ballooning. Yeah, I know, are you

668
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: actually buying that? Well, here's here's what I here. Here's okay,

669
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: wolf is talking about it being a revenge game. Team.

670
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: If the Ravens win on Sunday, it's not gonna make

671
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: me feel any better about what happened January. So it

672
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: doesn't like it's not like an Avengers date, but sure

673
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: it's that that tastes in our mouths from January is

674
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 1: going to be very prevalent when the Ravens take the

675
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: field on Sunday. I think that just like I thought

676
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: going into that game, I think this is one that

677
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens should win. I do think, as we spent

678
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking with Derek about that, stopping

679
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: the run is first and foremost, and that is going

680
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: to be tough. Like, who knows that Brandon Williams and

681
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: Clays Camp are able to play. If they're not, it's

682
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot on Derek. It's gonna be a

683
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: lot on Justin Ellis, young guys, just like Roger Washington, Like,

684
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot on these young players and the linebackers,

685
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen, Willie Carrison. So, um, I don't think it's

686
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna come easy. I think that it's gonna be very close.

687
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be very close. I think the

688
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: offense has to have a day, and I think they

689
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: have to have a day through the air. Yeah, I

690
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: think the offense has to have a day because the

691
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: Titans are gonna limit possessions. So you have to be

692
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: sharp execution wise on offense, and you have to get touchdowns.

693
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: You can't get field goals because the Titans are gonna

694
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: run the ball fifty times and they're gonna just milk

695
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: that clock and and play a time of possession game.

696
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, that and and if they can get up

697
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: early and then milk the clock with the run game,

698
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's it's gonna be double trouble. I mean,

699
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Mike Rabel is a smart guy. He's watching what happened

700
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: on Sun and Night Football and seeing how Belichick and

701
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: with Damien Harris just pound the ball on the ground, run, run, run,

702
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: He's going to try to do the same thing obviously

703
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: with Henry, So yeah, and he's got a little bit

704
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: of a bigger weapon to wield in that battle. I

705
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: think the Ravens win this game. I think this is

706
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: the Hollywood get on track game or the Titans are

707
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: twenty in the league as a past defense, so they're

708
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: susceptible to giving up some big plays in the passing game.

709
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: And the Ravens took some shots. You know you've been

710
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: saying on the podcast all years, take some shots. Take

711
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: some shots. They took two shots over to one of

712
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: them got picked off, so you know, they took him

713
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: last week, it just didn't happen. I think that this

714
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: could be I'm not out on Hollywood, though, I am

715
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: not out. Everybody's really down on Hollywood right now around Baltimore.

716
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm not. I am not joining in on that parade. Look, look,

717
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: the guy hasn't had the explosive season that we all

718
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: expected because we were looking at his Instagram video and

719
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: and you know, saying this guy was gonna be a beast,

720
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: and that's disappointing. And he thought he was gonna have it.

721
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 1: He predicted he would all that stuff. It hasn't been that.

722
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: But like the guy is still leading the team. And

723
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: now I get it the past offense hasn't been that great.

724
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: But it's not like he's had a terrible year, you know.

725
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: I mean there were some definitely some good games early

726
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: on in the season. Oper against Cleveland, I thought he

727
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: looked really good. I'm not throwing in the towel part

728
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: of it. Think. I think I think this is the

729
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: gate right game for him. I do. I think I

730
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: like that his best catch of his career was in

731
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: that playoff game, that one hander. I think that might

732
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: have been. I mean, that might have been the best

733
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: game overall. Like when the Ravens needed to come back,

734
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: he was making tough catches. They were feeding him the ball.

735
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: He was he was going across the middle like. He

736
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: just played well in that game. Um, and so I

737
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: think that there's gonna be a continuation of that. So

738
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: put it on the books, baby. You can start him

739
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: in fantasy this week. If I had him, I would,

740
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: I absolutely would. All right, we'll we'll put you down

741
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: on the books for that. I like that. I'm in

742
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: on that as well. Anyway, thank you for listening, everybody,

743
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: and we will be back with you after the big

744
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: twin
