Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Past podcast. The date is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: May twenty eighth, and we are officially into organized team activities.
Speaker 1: After practice today, we heard from head coach John Harbaugh
Speaker 1: as well as a few players. So let's start off
Speaker 1: with Coach Harbaugh and see what he had to say
Speaker 1: after day two of OTAs.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody. Appreciate everybody being here. Good
Speaker 2: second day to the OTAs. Had a lot of fun
Speaker 2: out here inside. Obviously it's kind of a rainy day
Speaker 2: out there. You know, what do they say, May showers
Speaker 2: bring June flowers?
Speaker 3: Is that is that how it works?
Speaker 2: Oh, it's supposed to be mayflowers in April shower. Okay,
Speaker 2: so we're just a little behind, but we had a
Speaker 2: lot of fun and guys are working hard, like where
Speaker 2: we're at and looking forward to seeing where we're going.
Speaker 4: What questions you have, John, I know this is all moluntored,
Speaker 4: but I mean, you had a pretty strong attendants out there.
Speaker 4: How does that help? Do you think having that bound
Speaker 4: good at hand this early in the in the off.
Speaker 3: Season, it's great.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, coaches, we we want to we
Speaker 2: want to coach, we want players to be here we
Speaker 2: talked about today.
Speaker 3: We all know what we're.
Speaker 2: Here for, you know, and we have a mission that
Speaker 2: we're trying to accomplish. And to see the guys out
Speaker 2: there working as hard as they are and how as
Speaker 2: hard as they have been means a lot.
Speaker 3: I love the way these guys work.
Speaker 2: I think they've been very intentional about every aspect of
Speaker 2: what we've done, every Phase one, Phase two, and now
Speaker 2: Phase three. It'd be very intentional about the big picture
Speaker 2: each phase. They've also been intentional about each play, each drill,
Speaker 2: each lift, trying to do everything they can to be
Speaker 2: as good as they can be.
Speaker 5: One of those lines, obviously Lamar even one of them,
Speaker 5: when it's just the importance of you know, when you
Speaker 5: get being out here just early in the process and
Speaker 5: it's a long ways off but the start of the season,
Speaker 5: but when you get in like, what does that.
Speaker 6: Speak to us? Think contemporary play?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just it's it's the same. It's
Speaker 2: the same for all the players, you know. And obviously
Speaker 2: Lamar is our quarterback, you know, and he's he's he's
Speaker 2: our guy, you know, And I've said many times I
Speaker 2: think he's the best. He's the best in football. So uh,
Speaker 2: he works hard at it. It means a lot to him.
Speaker 2: He's been studying it, he's been training. You can tell
Speaker 2: kind of shape he's in right now. You can see
Speaker 2: by the way through the ball. You guys all saw
Speaker 2: it today. He was on point with the offense. Uh,
Speaker 2: he's ready. You know, he's ready to get going. And
Speaker 2: uh had a heck of a day to day and
Speaker 2: you know, just keep building on it for tomorrow. But
Speaker 2: I think he you know, what you saw today with
Speaker 2: him is probably indicative of everybody and they all they
Speaker 2: all get to that point in their way. Uh, but
Speaker 2: they're all there and they're all working, and that's what
Speaker 2: we'd like to see keep than you could go to
Speaker 2: him in the V well, I mean, you know, he's
Speaker 2: a young player for sure, Mike, So there's not any
Speaker 2: one thing I think any player needs to work on.
Speaker 2: But for Trent, it's going to be just processing the game,
Speaker 2: you know at the position. So uh, that's that's a
Speaker 2: function of study for sure, but just also reps and
Speaker 2: confidence and learning the off learning the defense, understand what
Speaker 2: the offense is trying to do.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: Then when you get out there processing the game, reacting
Speaker 2: and I guess putting that physical ability which is so prolific,
Speaker 2: you know, putting it to good use.
Speaker 8: John, you guys added Dean J. Hopkins to the offense
Speaker 8: this year. What have you seen from him? And what
Speaker 8: what kind of like you've seen you bring in some
Speaker 8: of these veteran guys like him and OBJ in the past, Like,
Speaker 8: what kind what are you looking for.
Speaker 3: Out of de help with this Gus?
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, DeAndre for for us is
Speaker 2: gonna be a First of all, I think he's a
Speaker 2: heck of a football player. And you know he's obviously
Speaker 2: you saw him today, right, He's a gifted guy, talented guy. Uh,
Speaker 2: but he's gonna be a he's gonna be a big body,
Speaker 2: contested catch receiver for us, you know, certainly. Uh and uh,
Speaker 2: he's moving great. Plus he brings all that experience. He's
Speaker 2: been in the big games before, He's made plays in
Speaker 2: the big games. He knows how to make plays. It's
Speaker 2: not gonna be any situation it's gonna be too big
Speaker 2: for him. But uh, you know, I just thought he
Speaker 2: and Lamar looked really good today out there together, and
Speaker 2: it was nice to see.
Speaker 9: The coach fields aded Cooper watch, where do you see him,
Speaker 9: and how do you see that advantage in this quarterback room.
Speaker 3: He's looked good.
Speaker 2: I mean he's been out here, he's been learning the offense.
Speaker 2: You know, he's picking it up from scratch for him.
Speaker 2: It's all new, all the terminology and everything, and and
Speaker 2: he's been working really really hard at it. And I
Speaker 2: think he's pretty much, you know, on his way to
Speaker 2: getting it down, uh, processing all the pre snap stuff well,
Speaker 2: which is hard in the new offense. And then he
Speaker 2: just gets the ball out really quick. I mean the
Speaker 2: passing game, that ball he makes decisions, boom the balls out.
Speaker 2: You know, he's a quick decision maker. That's what he's
Speaker 2: always been. And we see it out here.
Speaker 6: To see him now a guy you know every time
Speaker 6: out there with the guys.
Speaker 10: Who I've seen him with it.
Speaker 11: He came to see him out there with little better
Speaker 11: for the freshment.
Speaker 3: I think he's doing a good job, you know.
Speaker 2: For yeah, I don't think he's really flashed yet because
Speaker 2: he's just trying to be in the right spot right
Speaker 2: now and make the right call. The safeties have a
Speaker 2: lot of communication, but I haven't seen him make a
Speaker 2: mistake yet.
Speaker 3: With the communication. It looks really good as an athlete.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: And you know, with our Darius.
Speaker 2: Situation, it's a lot on his plate right now, so
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to step up. But that's why we
Speaker 2: drafted him in the first round.
Speaker 12: If you can get to another year, you knew for
Speaker 12: moving the injury.
Speaker 9: Looks like he's he's got his bursts out there.
Speaker 7: What do you see from here an the year?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw that, you know, I saw the burst
Speaker 2: he ran the he ran the little double move rail route,
Speaker 2: made a beautiful catch over his shoulder.
Speaker 3: Uh. It looked like he.
Speaker 2: Had to speed and then just ability to adjust and
Speaker 2: track and just not heavy.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: Last year he probably you could tell he was thinking
Speaker 2: through the knee a little bit. It seemed like I
Speaker 2: haven't seen any of that so far this spring. So
Speaker 2: it's good to see.
Speaker 6: And I've just scheduled out.
Speaker 7: Do you have a better idea whether.
Speaker 10: That going practice is the summer.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're looking at the Colts and the commanders probably.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 2: For the joint practices, we just got to get the
Speaker 2: details worked out. But those are the ones we're trying
Speaker 2: to set up right now with colts, one day at peace,
Speaker 2: one day with the colts, one day with the Commanders
Speaker 2: that it's.
Speaker 9: Pretty early because you guys don't play them that reseason game.
Speaker 2: Who we played in the first preseason game? Yeah, we
Speaker 2: played well, unless has that not been announced the preseason schedule.
Speaker 2: We played the Colts, We played the Cowboys. You play
Speaker 2: the Commanders, so it'd be Colts with a practice, Cowboys
Speaker 2: no practice, Commanders with a practice.
Speaker 5: John.
Speaker 13: The last time we spoke to you, justin Tucker was
Speaker 13: on this team and that move has been made. I
Speaker 13: know some time has passed, but just from your perspective
Speaker 13: that roster move, were you involved in that decision and
Speaker 13: what was that decision making process?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 2: It was a complex decision making process, and you know
Speaker 2: you're I'm a part of it, Eric Sashi, Ozzie Steve
Speaker 2: is a big part of those kind of decisions. I mean,
Speaker 2: you're talking about, you know, arguably the best kicker in
Speaker 2: the history of the game, you know, And like we said,
Speaker 2: it's multi layered, it's complicated, but you've got to in
Speaker 2: the end, it all backs up. It all comes back
Speaker 2: to what you have to do to get ready for
Speaker 2: your team to play the first game. And I think
Speaker 2: if you step back and you take a look at
Speaker 2: all the issues and all around. For Cass, you can
Speaker 2: understand that, you know, we've got to get our football
Speaker 2: team ready and we've got to have a kicker ready
Speaker 2: to go, and that that was the move that we
Speaker 2: decided to make. So in that sense, it's a football decision,
Speaker 2: you know, And now we have to spend all of
Speaker 2: our focus in our time to get these kickers ready
Speaker 2: and we've got a competition going on and get those
Speaker 2: guys ready to go make kicks. So that's that's all
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about. Like, from my perspective, it's like, we
Speaker 2: got to have a kicker out there making kicks, you know,
Speaker 2: and what's the best way to get that done?
Speaker 6: Football kick today is Was that? Was that just the
Speaker 6: planed rotation?
Speaker 2: Or Yeah, Tyler kicked yesterday, so they're kicking every other day,
Speaker 2: so you'll see Tyler kick tomorrow.
Speaker 6: When you said it was.
Speaker 14: A football related decision, I guess there was a lot
Speaker 14: of people not clear on it because the guy hasn't
Speaker 14: kicked in a while. So how can you touch it
Speaker 14: as a football decision when you know the last time
Speaker 14: you kick was January?
Speaker 2: I got, yeah, I mean that's a good question. I
Speaker 2: just think it's like you just like I just said,
Speaker 2: it's it's many layer decisions. You know, if it was
Speaker 2: just a black and white, simple thing, then it would
Speaker 2: be easy to understand. But I think anybody can sit
Speaker 2: look at the whole thing and perspective and say, Okay,
Speaker 2: we've got to have a kicker ready to go. And
Speaker 2: there's a whole lot of moving parts of that deal,
Speaker 2: you know, and it's just the reality of it, and
Speaker 2: you're you're faced with that. So as an organization, we
Speaker 2: made a statement about it. I thought it was really accurate.
Speaker 2: I saw she did a good job with that and
Speaker 2: thought it through, and that's where we're at.
Speaker 14: Any surprise, the NFL hasn't announced anything.
Speaker 3: I don't even I don't even think about that, Like
Speaker 3: I don't even know.
Speaker 2: I just trying to We're just trying to get the
Speaker 2: guys ready for practice and have a good practice. John
Speaker 2: Jenkins still to be a raven or some fault and
Speaker 2: there no, we got to have a roster spot. So
Speaker 2: we're just waiting for the roster spot for Michael Pierce
Speaker 2: uh to uh post June first, post you and one.
Speaker 3: Then we'll get John in here next week.
Speaker 15: John A Disa, Isaac and TJ. Tampa both Smith's part
Speaker 15: of the spring and summer last year. What are you
Speaker 15: looking to see out of them with a full, healthy
Speaker 15: offseason this year?
Speaker 2: Uh, I'm looking for those guys to step up and
Speaker 2: be big factors in our team. I mean I expect
Speaker 2: both those guys to to to uh not just compete
Speaker 2: for playing time, but possibly even compete to be starters.
Speaker 2: I mean that would be the goal. That's what they want,
Speaker 2: and they should be in the mix for that.
Speaker 4: With I say it likely. I mean we've seen him
Speaker 4: flashing many times to what would you would you like
Speaker 4: to see him as he keeps progressing.
Speaker 7: In this group? Well?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I wanted to see be all pro.
Speaker 2: You know, that'd be my goal for him, and he's
Speaker 2: capable of it.
Speaker 8: Tyler Lupis, it's been so much time that you have
Speaker 8: had Whoptucker. You know, you know him as a player,
Speaker 8: you have that confidence, and how do you how do
Speaker 8: you feel about this process and now kind of redoing
Speaker 8: that all over again with a different player?
Speaker 2: How do I feel about it? I don't really have
Speaker 2: a feeling about it. I just want to make sure
Speaker 2: we get right, you know, and work hard at it.
Speaker 4: Really, John, is there any kind of risk knowing that
Speaker 4: you know, you guys have Super Bowl aspirations and having
Speaker 4: a kicker that could be very young. I mean, is
Speaker 4: there a risk in ball, but having a young kicker
Speaker 4: with a championship Calber team.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of risks in life. You know, there's
Speaker 2: a risk you're getting your car. You'd be driving home
Speaker 2: in this rain. You know, I want you to be
Speaker 2: very careful. It's gonna be risky out there on that road.
Speaker 12: John John one more d hop question wide receivers on
Speaker 12: this team and been great run blockers, particular the last
Speaker 12: few years, toddling him all less in others, and I
Speaker 12: just wanted to know a player like him who's been
Speaker 12: a great run block in the past's kind of declined
Speaker 12: a little bit of as his career is going on.
Speaker 12: How much do you want him to be a leader
Speaker 12: in that regard?
Speaker 2: Well, I saw him out here today, got one and
Speaker 2: he came back with a big smile on his face.
Speaker 2: We threw something over there on the left sideline and
Speaker 2: he was he locked.
Speaker 6: I think it was TJ.
Speaker 3: Tampa.
Speaker 2: I think he maybe kind of locked up in the block,
Speaker 2: took a little pride in it, so I would expect
Speaker 2: that to continue to be a big part of his game.
Speaker 9: We saw seeing a tape he would develop into a
Speaker 9: double digit sack guy.
Speaker 6: What is I guess, is the next step for him?
Speaker 9: And what has it been like to see him develop
Speaker 9: it in the way that he has.
Speaker 2: I'm just really happy with a DAFE right now in
Speaker 2: terms of like what he's done in the last three months.
Speaker 2: You saw him out there, right, I mean, how's he
Speaker 2: look to you? He looks good. He's put on twelve
Speaker 2: or fifteen pounds of muscle, He's worked really hard. He's
Speaker 2: just very determined to be really great again. I mean
Speaker 2: my goal for him is to be all pro, you know,
Speaker 2: go be the best, be the best in the business.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 2: And that's tough because there's a lot of goo players
Speaker 2: playing in his position. But that's the way he sees
Speaker 2: himself and let's go.
Speaker 6: For it just quickly.
Speaker 9: Like, did you see him being more like it was
Speaker 9: to be the power guy with that with that added
Speaker 9: muscle or what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see him being if you want to
Speaker 2: call it that, the more direct rusher. Yeah, I use
Speaker 2: the use his power, use bowl a little bit more
Speaker 2: sure A.
Speaker 9: Chance to ask you, I don't think about how Darius's progress.
Speaker 7: God him, you have a chance to position right.
Speaker 2: Our Darius had the torn achilles. It was clean there,
Speaker 2: if you want to call it that. So it's one
Speaker 2: of those ones that heals. It's the more quick healing version.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: So our Darius tells me he'll be back in November.
Speaker 2: So you know, he's always been a quick healer. I'm
Speaker 2: looking at November December in my mind. So yes, we're
Speaker 2: counting on him being back. But it's you know, I
Speaker 2: mean speculation, but nobody's gonna work harder. He got back
Speaker 2: from the foot last time really quick. So yeah, I
Speaker 2: mean he was, he's he's he's become a really good player,
Speaker 2: like I must say, a great player. He's really become
Speaker 2: a great player. Nobody deserves opportunity and success more than
Speaker 2: our Darius Washington, and uh, nobody's gonna fight harder for it.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm counting on getting back.
Speaker 9: Out there.
Speaker 2: Any Yeah woo was he was sick? Is Uh, he's
Speaker 2: working on just some physical things. He'll be out there soon,
Speaker 2: working super hard, very determined, wants to be out there,
Speaker 2: so he'll be out there soon.
Speaker 3: One last quote question for coach.
Speaker 1: Next time Christine's all right, you guys, you just heard
Speaker 1: from head coach John Harbaugh and next up is tight
Speaker 1: end Mark Andrews.
Speaker 6: Good to see.
Speaker 14: Y'allmar, How do you feel coming back and energy the
Speaker 14: chemist people with Lamar.
Speaker 5: Is still intact.
Speaker 16: How do you feel it feels great? I was he
Speaker 16: was throwing the ball extremely well today. And you know,
Speaker 16: there's a bunch of guys flying around. We've got a
Speaker 16: great team, a lot of players, and you know, guys
Speaker 16: are working hard. Just being here for the last couple
Speaker 16: of weeks and and seeing how our guys are working
Speaker 16: and putting in that work, and I'm excited for it.
Speaker 12: You don't have to be here obviously, the ways I
Speaker 12: tell you about the say what we're talking, I said,
Speaker 12: there's a.
Speaker 6: Lot of the guys who are gonna have to be here.
Speaker 5: Uh, what's I tell you.
Speaker 6: About this Ratters?
Speaker 7: The thing, it's their focus. They're focused on getting better.
Speaker 16: And it's a bunch of a bunch of guys that
Speaker 16: have an incredible character and and want to do the
Speaker 16: right things, want to get better and want to be
Speaker 16: the best team possible. And you know, when you're putting
Speaker 16: a team together, that's what's.
Speaker 6: About the first time were I got you good time.
Speaker 14: We've had a chance to speak to you since that
Speaker 14: playoff game. I mean, you've had a lot of time
Speaker 14: to obsorb it. But after the game, what was going
Speaker 14: through your mind and then the subsequent days after that
Speaker 14: and all that you had to deal with.
Speaker 16: It's tough, you know, it's you know, as somebody, this
Speaker 16: is this is my this is my life. I put
Speaker 16: a lot of work into this, and you know, everything
Speaker 16: I do is kind of focused on that. Everything I
Speaker 16: think about is focused on that. And so you know,
Speaker 16: it wasn't the way that you know, I had planned it,
Speaker 16: and you know, but that's all part of the story.
Speaker 16: I've been using it and I've had an incredible off
Speaker 16: season and I'm excited to just to show what I
Speaker 16: can continue to do and continue to prove myself and
Speaker 16: step up in big moments. And you know, so that's
Speaker 16: the thing about sports is it doesn't always fallow your way,
Speaker 16: doesn't always go your way, But it's how you bounce back.
Speaker 9: Do you sort of get.
Speaker 6: Over that moment and and move past it?
Speaker 3: I mean, what did you what did you do to
Speaker 3: to do that?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 16: Just just surround myself with with good people. You know,
Speaker 16: not look at the outside noise and look myself in
Speaker 16: the mirror obviously, and just know the type of player
Speaker 16: that I am, Know the type of work that I
Speaker 16: put in, and you know, as as a professional, it's
Speaker 16: all about you know, being able to move past it,
Speaker 16: but you know, storing that in the memory bank and
Speaker 16: understanding that you know, this is not the end, this
Speaker 16: is this is something that I'm going to work with.
Speaker 16: I'm gonna get better and improve and move on.
Speaker 10: As you process that with this off season, move on
Speaker 10: to last.
Speaker 12: Year and get ready for this feature.
Speaker 16: Like I said, it's been a great off season for me.
Speaker 16: I've been you know, working extremely hard. You know, I've
Speaker 16: kind of adapted some different things of you know, health
Speaker 16: and and and wealth and and all that good stuff.
Speaker 16: And I've learned from guys like Derek and stuff like that.
Speaker 16: Just trying to be the best pro that I can be,
Speaker 16: to to set myself up to be the best player
Speaker 16: that can be.
Speaker 12: Mark, did you.
Speaker 11: Fully expect to be back here and be going in
Speaker 11: the last year your deal? I mean, were you thinking
Speaker 11: about an extension? Like where where is your.
Speaker 6: Head with all that time?
Speaker 16: It's not you know, for me, it's I think we've
Speaker 16: I've always talked about it's always, you know, just putting
Speaker 16: in the work and whatever.
Speaker 6: The cards are played, they're played.
Speaker 16: But I focus on myself and in this team and
Speaker 16: you know, and let all the other stuff, you know,
Speaker 16: deal however it's going to be dealt with. But extremely
Speaker 16: excited to be here. This is an incredible organization. I'm
Speaker 16: very thankful to be to be here for for my
Speaker 16: eighth year. And yeah, it's awesome beer Mark.
Speaker 9: Understanding that is is that something however plays out over
Speaker 9: those cards fallow, Is that something you'd like to have
Speaker 9: to figure it out? I guess on where the other
Speaker 9: or you got to get into the as you started season.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 16: Again, it's it's not you know, for me to deal
Speaker 16: with that, you know. And I thought Eric had a
Speaker 16: great way of saying he's in the business of keeping
Speaker 16: great players and and for me, I think, you know,
Speaker 16: I'm a great player.
Speaker 7: You know. I think I've been able to.
Speaker 16: Do it at the highest level, you know, the best
Speaker 16: of the best for a long time.
Speaker 7: And I'm not slowing down.
Speaker 6: So I really are.
Speaker 15: Intense worker every off season.
Speaker 17: After the way last season can be was it even
Speaker 17: a notch up?
Speaker 9: Even for you the self season and.
Speaker 4: How so how is it gift?
Speaker 7: Just incorporating different things?
Speaker 16: You know, it's you know, as you get year by year,
Speaker 16: you find you finally start to realize, you know, the
Speaker 16: things that matter. And again, I I've taken things from
Speaker 16: Derek and different guys that them have helped me improve.
Speaker 16: And I feel like I'm an incredible shape, moving great
Speaker 16: and you know, just being hungry like I always am.
Speaker 16: But you know, again, it's it's about taking from what
Speaker 16: you've learned from the year before and learning from your mistakes, memory,
Speaker 16: banking that, getting better as a person as a player,
Speaker 16: growing in my faith and all that good stuff.
Speaker 7: So that's what it's been about for me.
Speaker 11: Party who helped you get through the weeks after the
Speaker 11: playoff game?
Speaker 2: Your teammates, family, friends, How did and how did you
Speaker 2: process all that?
Speaker 16: A lot of people. I've got a great support staff,
Speaker 16: you know. I have a beautiful girlfriend that's been with me,
Speaker 16: you know, through you know, some down, some up, some
Speaker 16: from everything, and being able to go to her has
Speaker 16: been awesome. My family are you know, just my rider
Speaker 16: eyes and so just being able to surround myself. I
Speaker 16: got a bunch of nieces and nephews and all that
Speaker 16: good stuff and just being able to go there see them.
Speaker 16: That put a smile on my face immediately. But I
Speaker 16: got a great support staff, and I'm thankful and I'm blessed.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 16: I continue to follow Jesus and and and you know,
Speaker 16: continue my faith in God, and I know things are
Speaker 16: going to work out, and just continue to put the
Speaker 16: work the work in and good things happen.
Speaker 4: So you're talking to DeAndre Hopkins before the start practice.
Speaker 4: What what what can the addition of deadre really helped
Speaker 4: with this offense?
Speaker 6: He looks great. He looks really really good.
Speaker 16: He's been making some big plays and and I think
Speaker 16: he's gonna be great for offense, you know, just being versatile.
Speaker 6: Have a guy that catches the ball.
Speaker 16: Extremely well, runs really fluid routes, and knows the game well.
Speaker 16: And he looks like, you know, he's out here, he's
Speaker 16: flying around. He looks really good.
Speaker 6: As the backlash from how last season.
Speaker 9: Had changed your relationship called with the fan base from
Speaker 9: me to cause you echanged with it.
Speaker 16: You know, for me, I've never been big on you know,
Speaker 16: looking at outside noise, you know, and you know, for
Speaker 16: for as much bad as there is those are people
Speaker 16: that are just in their room, you know, you know,
Speaker 16: twiddling their fingers. But there's a lot of good people
Speaker 16: out there, a lot of great people that have shown
Speaker 16: support and and I'm thankful for that.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Derrick Henry when you talked about some people
Speaker 1: that you've leaned on on the team.
Speaker 15: Is anything specific, What specific things has he said to you.
Speaker 6: That you've really taken the heart.
Speaker 7: You're gonna have to You're gonna have to ask him.
Speaker 16: I just see it, and I try to incorporate because
Speaker 16: he's he's a man of many tools and talents, and
Speaker 16: so there's a lot. There's a lot that goes into
Speaker 16: it and trying to be the best that you can be.
Speaker 7: And he is man.
Speaker 16: He's, if not the best running back of all time.
Speaker 16: And if you can learn from a guy like that
Speaker 16: that takes a beating year after year and continues to
Speaker 16: get better, good things happen.
Speaker 8: We noticed, you guys have a great boss, and we've
Speaker 8: had great seasons, great teams, great individual players. It obviously
Speaker 8: hasn't been able to come all together in January.
Speaker 4: What do you think has to happen for you.
Speaker 8: Guys to be able to push through and play at
Speaker 8: basketball in January.
Speaker 16: Like like I said before, it's it's learning from mistakes.
Speaker 16: And the beautiful thing is everybody that's here. We have
Speaker 16: a lot of guys that are coming back from last
Speaker 16: year for the year before and obviously you know, in
Speaker 16: the years pass, and so we've been able to learn
Speaker 16: a lot. You know, obviously, you know, I wish we
Speaker 16: didn't have to, you know, go through that again last year.
Speaker 7: But we've added a lot of guys to a lot
Speaker 7: of guys that are flying around.
Speaker 16: And this team is is incredibly stacked with incredible players.
Speaker 6: We have a lot of healthy.
Speaker 16: Competition going all around, which makes us better, drives us
Speaker 16: to be better, and this is gonna be a dangerous team.
Speaker 16: I think that we keep our head down, we keep working,
Speaker 16: stay humble, follow God, and you know, we're gonna see
Speaker 16: what what happens. You know, we don't you know, play
Speaker 16: in January right now. We start right now and just
Speaker 16: just focus on getting better every day your whole career.
Speaker 15: What does it mean that they have another shot, which
Speaker 15: together he has been working to this again, together to.
Speaker 16: Hire for what we've been there's no one more hungry
Speaker 16: than Lamar and and to winning. You know, ultimately that
Speaker 16: the end goal, and so just being around him it's infectious.
Speaker 16: You know, it's just you know how driven he is,
Speaker 16: how focused he is on the end goal. So just
Speaker 16: feeding on that. You know, he's our leader. He does
Speaker 16: you know, so many things and incredible, but the biggest
Speaker 16: thing about him is he's the type of teammate that
Speaker 16: he is.
Speaker 6: He's awesome.
Speaker 12: Mark something that Mancin has added to the offensive. The
Speaker 12: tight end productivity has been the best probably in NFL
Speaker 12: history last two years or thirty touchdowns and one interception.
Speaker 7: Talk about what he's added to the game.
Speaker 16: It's it's enabled to Yeah, you know, monks, a monk's
Speaker 16: a creative mind, and you know he's always pushing us
Speaker 16: to be better. You know, run up to the line fast,
Speaker 16: all the little details that matter within a game. And
Speaker 16: you know, it's it makes a difference because when you're
Speaker 16: on your details, when you're focused on the little things,
Speaker 16: those are the things that matter. And I think that
Speaker 16: you know him continue to push us. His creative mind
Speaker 16: is calling the plays. You know, he's on the point,
Speaker 16: you know at all times. So you know he loves
Speaker 16: what he does, and uh, he's very focused. He's hard
Speaker 16: on himself, but you know, he's incredible at calling plays
Speaker 16: and helping us, you know, get better with.
Speaker 6: You know, through the.
Speaker 9: You're an interesting condidion covidion when you've got both to
Speaker 9: like being charly over the years, same contracts.
Speaker 6: Essentially, you guys are all help the phrase in the
Speaker 6: next year.
Speaker 14: If you guys talked about that as a community, is
Speaker 14: there an awkwardness about.
Speaker 3: That at all?
Speaker 10: Now?
Speaker 16: You know, I think that again the type of guys
Speaker 16: that they bring in here, we have great dudes, and
Speaker 16: especially in the tight end room, it's a cohesive group.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 16: I think that at the end of the day that
Speaker 16: we're all you know, putting our best foot forward, working
Speaker 16: one hundred percent, trying to be the best player that
Speaker 16: we can being, and uh, you know whatever, you know,
Speaker 16: ever everything plays out, it plays out. But extremely blessed
Speaker 16: to be in that tight er room with all the
Speaker 16: guys that we have, and I couldn't be more thankful
Speaker 16: for those guys because every day we continue to push
Speaker 16: each other get better and you know, it's been really fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of off that a little bit with Isaiah
Speaker 4: likely what did kind of you've seen out of him,
Speaker 4: maybe even towards the end of last season and maybe
Speaker 4: a little bit you've seen him within the off season.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I feel like I keep saying this, but it's
Speaker 16: the type of guy that they bring in here is
Speaker 16: continues to work, continues to get better. I think I
Speaker 16: feel like year after year, you know, he's founded another mode,
Speaker 16: another stride, and you know he moves incredibly well. And
Speaker 16: he again, he's a guy that that comes in here
Speaker 16: and he's a great teammate. He's a he's an incredible teammate,
Speaker 16: gets around all the guys, has fun.
Speaker 7: But man, he's a baller.
Speaker 1: That was Mark Andrews after day two of organized team
Speaker 1: activities and now we'll hear from another tight end, Isaiah Likely.
Speaker 6: So y'all love to be back. If y'all didn't know, now,
Speaker 6: y'all know, got a softball event at the Rip Stadium.
Speaker 6: Y'all have offense defense for bragging rights. You know, responds
Speaker 6: by yours truly for the Special Olympics Ravens Foundation. Hope
Speaker 6: to see all y'all there. It's gonna be a lot
Speaker 6: of fun. Y'all gonna see a little more talking than
Speaker 6: y'all doing OTAs going into training camp this weekend. Yes,
Speaker 6: how did you, so really, you know, I just asked
Speaker 6: my marketing team, you know, who really wants to tie
Speaker 6: in trying to get back to Baltimore. I mean, I
Speaker 6: do my own camp in Massachusetts. But I felt like,
Speaker 6: you know, since Baltimore took an opportunity on me four
Speaker 6: years ago, I mean, I wanted to always give back.
Speaker 6: Just didn't know how. They told me special Olympics, was
Speaker 6: you know, ready to do it? And I was like, man,
Speaker 6: let's do it right there in Baltimore.
Speaker 12: So who do you think that soft other than yourself?
Speaker 6: Other than me? Some guys said they've never even hit
Speaker 6: with a baseball bat. But Nick Moore is gonna be
Speaker 6: out there, So if you're gonna be in center field,
Speaker 6: I duck. But yeah, they said he's probably the best
Speaker 6: one out there other than me, of course, of course,
Speaker 6: not the best hitter. I used to pitch play center field.
Speaker 6: But once to the cages, once to the cages a
Speaker 6: little bit. I'm going go go back, get a couple
Speaker 6: of days, gonna go back.
Speaker 4: I don't know about that, because I saw you on Twitter.
Speaker 15: Apparently you said that you had like four home runs
Speaker 15: off Lamar on that one.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean I had seen some tweets saying,
Speaker 6: you know, L's going to be out there pitching, and
Speaker 6: I was like, dang, I guess it's time to tweet out,
Speaker 6: you know, get the juices flowing. Definitely would hit four
Speaker 6: home runs off L. For sure.
Speaker 9: I'll go to the football football.
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean it was awesome today. I mean
Speaker 6: L was finally out here, you know, finally had you know,
Speaker 6: QB one out there. You know, juice is flowing. Everybody's
Speaker 6: you know, really backing inside, you know mad it was
Speaker 6: raining outside, love being outside, but finally back running around everybody.
Speaker 6: Finally got to see everybody running around. Always good at
Speaker 6: everybody change things when.
Speaker 9: He's out there, even though like the os and it's
Speaker 9: you know, a lot to get through. But does it
Speaker 9: does it change like the just the aura of practice
Speaker 9: or whatever?
Speaker 6: For sure? I mean I feel like everybody's always joyful
Speaker 6: to get back to football. But once you've see eight
Speaker 6: running around having fun, you know, light enough smiles around everybody,
Speaker 6: that's just a different level of joy that everybody on
Speaker 6: the field really goes up to, you know, finally having
Speaker 6: one of your your leaders, really your top dog out
Speaker 6: there showing that he's ready to get back to work and.
Speaker 11: Mark was asked about all. I mean, all three of
Speaker 11: the top ten ends are going into the last year's
Speaker 11: a good deal.
Speaker 3: How do you look at that?
Speaker 11: I mean, would you would you like to have an
Speaker 11: extension before the season?
Speaker 3: Do you try to put it out of your head?
Speaker 11: Like what's your mindset on that?
Speaker 2: That whole thing?
Speaker 6: I mean, I tell everybody I love the Ravens, I
Speaker 6: love the you know, the city, the field. You know
Speaker 6: y'all brought me in made me feel like I was
Speaker 6: part of the family from my rookie year till now.
Speaker 6: I mean, obviously, you know everybody's dream to get extended,
Speaker 6: but I just keep one for it for the other.
Speaker 6: I try to stay in the moment, say you know
Speaker 6: where my feet are, and really just play, have fun
Speaker 6: and let the players happen. And then whatever happens, God
Speaker 6: take care of that.
Speaker 17: AI. I don't know if you saw the offseason speculation
Speaker 17: about Mark status and all that stuff, find out how
Speaker 17: much you love Mark for sure? How glad are you
Speaker 17: that he's still raving?
Speaker 10: Man?
Speaker 6: I tell everybody that's a big brother. I mean, I'm
Speaker 6: glad that everybody's speculations died down and not finally you know,
Speaker 6: have to get him a hug when he came in,
Speaker 6: because you know, we finally back at it, finally back
Speaker 6: on the turf together. I mean, that's big bro. I
Speaker 6: mean he's been teaching me since I got here, since
Speaker 6: I stepped foot being a raven from run game past game,
Speaker 6: how to watch film, how to take care of my body,
Speaker 6: and really just dwell take care every moment in the league.
Speaker 6: So I'm glad to have him back, Glad to have
Speaker 6: eight nine with me all the time.
Speaker 12: This was the first time we talked to him since
Speaker 12: the SATs to talk without dj uh that last strong
Speaker 12: has to be stronger in this off season. I guess
Speaker 12: what I do you say to him in the offseason
Speaker 12: and how the season beside what your.
Speaker 6: Next I said, don't let one play, really let you
Speaker 6: forget that you're all pro marked. I mean everybody knows
Speaker 6: fantastic plays Mark's been makings before I even got here.
Speaker 6: So I just always, you know, just shout in my text,
Speaker 6: you know, obviously, to don't let one moment dwell on.
Speaker 6: You know what you've always accomplished in what you're you
Speaker 6: know you're striving for in the future, and you know,
Speaker 6: him being him obviously he's gonna really just watch, you know,
Speaker 6: take it all in, let the moment happen, and just
Speaker 6: be a pro. I mean that's what you know. I
Speaker 6: feel like I look up to Mark in those situations
Speaker 6: because he's a pros pro. I mean at this point
Speaker 6: now he's already moved past it. He'd right for next year.
Speaker 6: And I feel like y'all gonna really smile when y'all
Speaker 6: see a nine out there.
Speaker 2: He's all established yourself, He's s these the last few years.
Speaker 12: What for you, like, what is your expectation days going
Speaker 12: into this year?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 6: Really just I mean I tell everybody, just trying to
Speaker 6: be that chess piece. I mean, I feel like in
Speaker 6: the offense, whether I'm out wide, in line, in the back,
Speaker 6: feel anywhere, just really just understanding and make players where
Speaker 6: there's players and really aren't there to be made. Just always,
Speaker 6: you know, trying to go to distance, whether I catch
Speaker 6: a pass, whether I'm blocking down the field alway trying
Speaker 6: to make an exposive play happen, whether I'm on the
Speaker 6: fields to become one of.
Speaker 8: The guys that Lamar really trust and he scrambled drills situations.
Speaker 8: I mean, how much do you expect that to continue
Speaker 8: to uptake and how much do you kind of thrive
Speaker 8: on those types.
Speaker 16: Of moments too?
Speaker 6: Man? I love those type of moments because in my mind,
Speaker 6: it's either my ball and nobody's when you know, the
Speaker 6: quarterback trust you to put yourself in the position to
Speaker 6: you know, make those type of spectacular plays and l
Speaker 6: you know what, L the players never did till the
Speaker 6: whistle blows. So really just being able to either throw
Speaker 6: my hand, run across the field wherever, just having him
Speaker 6: be able to trust me and throw the ball wherever
Speaker 6: I am and understand that Zay's gonna always make me right.
Speaker 6: I mean, that's just you know, a blessing having that
Speaker 6: type of trust from your quarterback and really just knowing that,
Speaker 6: you know, he trusts me to the point because we
Speaker 6: do it in practice so much where it's he knows
Speaker 6: that I'm such a competitor when the ball's in the
Speaker 6: air that I'm always gonna try to make the play.
Speaker 12: Is there one additional thing you'd like to bring to
Speaker 12: your game this year? See you get off as a
Speaker 12: blocker in particular? Is there one additional things like that?
Speaker 6: Uh, I'd say, like really just honing in on everything
Speaker 6: to my game to really just be the best version
Speaker 6: of myself. I mean going into year four, whereas now
Speaker 6: it's you know, I've watched myself grow up to this point,
Speaker 6: but now it's just watching film on you know, the
Speaker 6: little things I've been doing years prior, you know, the good,
Speaker 6: the bad, the in between, and really just amping up
Speaker 6: and really just understand that whatever I've done to this
Speaker 6: point hasn't brought us the ultimate goal. So everybody obviously
Speaker 6: had something to work on. But like, just me being me,
Speaker 6: I'm always going to just watch myself. I'm mount there
Speaker 6: in those little details.
Speaker 11: Hey, I don't recall seeing this level of attendance at
Speaker 11: an Earth or this season ota like this, was.
Speaker 2: There a mandate that wanted someone said to hey everyone,
Speaker 2: we really all need to be here, you know.
Speaker 6: On the jump like this, I feel like everybody got
Speaker 6: the memo after the last game of the year, I mean,
Speaker 6: when you don't reach an ultimate goal, which is to
Speaker 6: you know, win and hold that trophy and smile with everybod,
Speaker 6: everybody's always hungry get back to the next season, really
Speaker 6: get done and then knowing you know, the team we have,
Speaker 6: the chemistry we have, and the leaders that we have.
Speaker 6: Everybody's always itching to come back play football and really
Speaker 6: just get that job done.
Speaker 16: Though, what's impressed you about how DeAndre Hopkins brings as
Speaker 16: a receiver.
Speaker 6: I mean just seeing d hot I mean, obviously what
Speaker 6: I think he's in year thirteen now, I think that's
Speaker 6: what he said. Uh, just watching how he practices as
Speaker 6: a pro. He's always since i've seen him's always smiling
Speaker 6: out here, always having fun. I didn't know that he
Speaker 6: was gonna be as funny as he is. I mean,
Speaker 6: now that you know he's growing accustomed to really the Ravens,
Speaker 6: he's going to see how funny we actually are. But
Speaker 6: seeing him how he practices, you know, watching him catch
Speaker 6: the ball, watching him going out there block. He was
Speaker 6: blocking the rep during Skelley. We caught the ball, He's
Speaker 6: out there blocking during Skelley. So that just always shows
Speaker 6: that you know, he's ready to get after, He's ready
Speaker 6: to be on the football field, and you need that
Speaker 6: from a leader in that aspect of the receiver room.
Speaker 11: What's your sense of the role he's going to take
Speaker 11: on in the in the playmaker mix.
Speaker 6: I feel like he's just gonna be him. I mean,
Speaker 6: we have a bunch of playmakers on the field at
Speaker 6: all times where everybody can go to distance. So I
Speaker 6: feel like, you know, when the players are there for
Speaker 6: him to be made, whether the balls in his hand
Speaker 6: while he's blocking down the field, whether it's you know,
Speaker 6: those crucial situations on third down, whenever in the red zone, whenever,
Speaker 6: he's gonna be there to make those players.
Speaker 15: Isaiah, you talked about Lamar Jackson having fun DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 15: being more funny.
Speaker 6: Being you expected.
Speaker 15: How does forming those interpersonal bonds help you guys on
Speaker 15: the field holding each other accountable. He thinks that makes
Speaker 15: it easier to have communication and you know, be able
Speaker 15: to give each other feedback for sure.
Speaker 6: I mean because at the end of the day, this
Speaker 6: is a little kids game that we're playing. And I
Speaker 6: feel like, you know, every time we're out here on
Speaker 6: the field, if somebody's not laughing, somebody's you know, dwelling
Speaker 6: on something they've done in the past. I feel like
Speaker 6: there's somebody on the field that's always going to make
Speaker 6: them laugh or try to remind them that don't dwell
Speaker 6: on it. I mean, we're out here finally, you know,
Speaker 6: you're playing the game that you wanted since you've been
Speaker 6: a little kid, so you know, having vets, having that
Speaker 6: same mantra, come in, run around, have fun, have that
Speaker 6: type of or it just shows the rookies that, like,
Speaker 6: you know, you're new obviously, but like, this is a
Speaker 6: fun sport. This is where you want to be. This
Speaker 6: is where you've been trying to get your life. So
Speaker 6: just enjoy it, be where your feet out and have fun. Okay, cool, appreciate.
Speaker 1: Y'allan And last, but not least, here's what adafe oh
Speaker 1: Wait had to say to the media following today's practice.
Speaker 10: Doing how y'all doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the what was we focused for you this
Speaker 2: off season?
Speaker 10: If you blacken yourself like that ship, I'd probably say
Speaker 10: gaining weight and on top of that, staying explosive with
Speaker 10: the way, adding more moves and then you know, just
Speaker 10: get my mind right for the type of year I
Speaker 10: want to have.
Speaker 12: What was how much weight have you gained?
Speaker 10: What was the process of adding at So I was
Speaker 10: like two forty five last year, I'm like two sixty
Speaker 10: five now, so like around twenty fifteen.
Speaker 7: Bas yeah, what do you think that's gonna be for you?
Speaker 10: With back you know, the run and then obviously, uh,
Speaker 10: the top of my rush not being able to you know,
Speaker 10: pushed off the point digging out the rip. So yeah,
Speaker 10: and obviously powered as well.
Speaker 11: Yeah, do you could Will it change your style as
Speaker 11: a pass rusher at all?
Speaker 10: Do you think?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say change, maybe sharpen it. Obviously I'm like
Speaker 10: kind of a power savvy too with my rush, so
Speaker 10: you know I could build off that more and then,
Speaker 10: like I said, when I try to dip and then
Speaker 10: bring the rip up, you know I'll be more solid
Speaker 10: stout than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, when did you kind of make the decision to say, hey,
Speaker 4: I wanna I wanna get a little bit bigger.
Speaker 10: S After we lost, To be honest, you know, we
Speaker 10: didn't have the outing, you know, at least I I
Speaker 10: didn't have the outing I I wanted. So I thought
Speaker 10: like a lot of that you had had to do
Speaker 10: with you know, my weight and you know, being able
Speaker 10: to be stout in certain positions. So as soon as
Speaker 10: the season was done, you know, I went to Miami,
Speaker 10: started eating and lifting and then you know, getting getting
Speaker 10: a weight basically that way. I actually wasn't good food.
Speaker 10: It was a lot of nasty you know meal prep,
Speaker 10: you know, dry chicken, uh, brussels sprouts sparagus, you know.
Speaker 10: But it did the job. Yeah, he did the job.
Speaker 6: Yeah, defay.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 9: Obviously Adisa coming in last year had the the hamstring deal.
Speaker 6: With the what do you expect it from him?
Speaker 7: In your zip?
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, he's ready to go. Uh it's get off
Speaker 10: his crazy hands strong. It's a shame that he had
Speaker 10: the uh, the hamstring issues last year cause he was
Speaker 10: already ready to go.
Speaker 6: Then.
Speaker 10: You know, I'm I'm looking forward to see a big season.
Speaker 6: For him, cause he can like you just got rid of.
Speaker 10: But yeah, no, he he's the truth. He he's pretty seasoned,
Speaker 10: quick twitchy. Uh. You know, he he picks up things fast.
Speaker 10: He's learning a lot of positions right now, and he's
Speaker 10: still playing fast as well. So yeah, he's gonna have
Speaker 10: a good season as well.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 8: But you're I know, you're from always looking to be
Speaker 8: as best, as ready as you can be. But does
Speaker 8: your contract situation, how does that impact your outlook.
Speaker 3: On the season.
Speaker 10: Obviously, you know, I'm just trying to, you know, be
Speaker 10: the best player for the team. I would be crazy
Speaker 10: to say that's not something looming in the back of
Speaker 10: my mind, but you know, every year I try to
Speaker 10: get better try to be better than I was last year. So,
Speaker 10: to be honest, that's really what I'm focused on. I
Speaker 10: know if I do that, it's gonna take care of you.
Speaker 10: So you're talking, uh.
Speaker 12: Top a back how motivated you were by the lots
Speaker 12: the last season.
Speaker 6: There's a lot of ice here today who like they did,
Speaker 6: they don't have to be here for.
Speaker 7: Better or other.
Speaker 12: It's back people getting like where does it tell you
Speaker 12: about put up like my favorite team, because there's.
Speaker 10: So many words. Yeah, you know, we're we're tired of finishing,
Speaker 10: you know, spots where we shouldn't have finished. We're d
Speaker 10: We're just trying to capitalize. And you could tell by
Speaker 10: guys like Lamar d hob Dann Bait and uh Row
Speaker 10: uh k ham got a beaks g guys that you
Speaker 10: know don't, like you said, don't have to be here,
Speaker 10: but we're here. We're putting in the work, uh building
Speaker 10: the foundations and it's a testament to what the goal
Speaker 10: is in the future. And I feel like, you know,
Speaker 10: we got the team. We we had the team the
Speaker 10: past few years, to be honest, and it's just I
Speaker 10: feel like experience and the attitude now is gonna get
Speaker 10: us over the hump definite.
Speaker 17: I know it's just a tas, but how do you
Speaker 17: feel like the added weight is is working out for
Speaker 17: you out here? You feel just as explosive as he did?
Speaker 9: And do you feel strong in life?
Speaker 10: I mean it's oh yeah. So I haven't really got
Speaker 10: to you know, test to yet, but I've had some
Speaker 10: s s situations where I try to, like you know,
Speaker 10: push somebody and stuff.
Speaker 6: They kind of.
Speaker 10: Flying off too. So uh no, it's helping. It's helping,
Speaker 10: and I I I I think it's gonna be good
Speaker 10: for me this year.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just the biggest shap.
Speaker 10: Yeah, my life, to be honest. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 17: Can people tell you previously like hey, I I think
Speaker 17: you could ultimately somethay add muscles with how athletic you
Speaker 17: are that like.
Speaker 10: Yeah they taught Yeah, they told me that. I was
Speaker 10: always trying to keep my speed, but my speed hasn't diminished,
Speaker 10: so that was always something that I was looming in
Speaker 10: my mind. But uh, I guess it's the way you
Speaker 10: train to keep the muscle and then obviously when you're
Speaker 10: building the muscles, be able to make sure you can
Speaker 10: be mobile with it. Yeah, I'm I'm good straight do
Speaker 10: you do you have.
Speaker 9: Like a number in mind that you wanted to get
Speaker 9: to the shore like a a rade hole or whatever.
