So let's start off 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.000 with Coach Harbaugh and see what he had to say 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:24.120 after day two of OTAs. 0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.040 Okay, good to see everybody. Appreciate everybody being here. Good 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.360 second day to the OTAs. Had a lot of fun 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.960 out here inside. Obviously it's kind of a rainy day 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.839 out there. You know, what do they say, May showers 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:41.040 bring June flowers? 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:42.440 Is that is that how it works? 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.160 Oh, it's supposed to be mayflowers in April shower. Okay, 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:49.800 so we're just a little behind, but we had a 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.480 lot of fun and guys are working hard, like where 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:55.360 we're at and looking forward to seeing where we're going. 0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.760 What questions you have, John, I know this is all moluntored, 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:02.200 but I mean, you had a pretty strong attendants out there. 0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:04.600 How does that help? Do you think having that bound 0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:06.720 good at hand this early in the in the off. 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:07.640 Season, it's great. 0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.039 I mean, you know, coaches, we we want to we 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.480 want to coach, we want players to be here we 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:13.560 talked about today. 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:14.360 We all know what we're. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:17.000 Here for, you know, and we have a mission that 0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:20.160 we're trying to accomplish. And to see the guys out 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:21.800 there working as hard as they are and how as 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.960 hard as they have been means a lot. 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:25.400 I love the way these guys work. 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.520 I think they've been very intentional about every aspect of 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:30.800 what we've done, every Phase one, Phase two, and now 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:34.240 Phase three. It'd be very intentional about the big picture 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.440 each phase. They've also been intentional about each play, each drill, 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.920 each lift, trying to do everything they can to be 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:40.679 as good as they can be. 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.720 One of those lines, obviously Lamar even one of them, 0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:46.560 when it's just the importance of you know, when you 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.160 get being out here just early in the process and 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.720 it's a long ways off but the start of the season, 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.360 but when you get in like, what does that. 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.040 Speak to us? Think contemporary play? 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.360 Yeah, I mean, I just it's it's the same. It's 0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.560 the same for all the players, you know. And obviously 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.960 Lamar is our quarterback, you know, and he's he's he's 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.400 our guy, you know, And I've said many times I 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.760 think he's the best. He's the best in football. So uh, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:11.919 he works hard at it. It means a lot to him. 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.280 He's been studying it, he's been training. You can tell 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:16.320 kind of shape he's in right now. You can see 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:17.799 by the way through the ball. You guys all saw 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.359 it today. He was on point with the offense. Uh, 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.280 he's ready. You know, he's ready to get going. And 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:25.240 uh had a heck of a day to day and 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.160 you know, just keep building on it for tomorrow. But 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.760 I think he you know, what you saw today with 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.200 him is probably indicative of everybody and they all they 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.600 all get to that point in their way. Uh, but 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.800 they're all there and they're all working, and that's what 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.720 we'd like to see keep than you could go to 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.280 him in the V well, I mean, you know, he's 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.760 a young player for sure, Mike, So there's not any 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.000 one thing I think any player needs to work on. 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.760 But for Trent, it's going to be just processing the game, 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.000 you know at the position. So uh, that's that's a 0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.800 function of study for sure, but just also reps and 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.360 confidence and learning the off learning the defense, understand what 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:02.480 the offense is trying to do. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:03.240 Uh. 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.720 Then when you get out there processing the game, reacting 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.960 and I guess putting that physical ability which is so prolific, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:11.600 you know, putting it to good use. 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.639 John, you guys added Dean J. Hopkins to the offense 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.120 this year. What have you seen from him? And what 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.120 what kind of like you've seen you bring in some 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.760 of these veteran guys like him and OBJ in the past, Like, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:25.280 what kind what are you looking for. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:26.440 Out of de help with this Gus? 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.840 Well, I mean, you know, DeAndre for for us is 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.079 gonna be a First of all, I think he's a 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.560 heck of a football player. And you know he's obviously 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:40.680 you saw him today, right, He's a gifted guy, talented guy. Uh, 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.880 but he's gonna be a he's gonna be a big body, 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.680 contested catch receiver for us, you know, certainly. Uh and uh, 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:52.000 he's moving great. Plus he brings all that experience. He's 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:53.760 been in the big games before, He's made plays in 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.400 the big games. He knows how to make plays. It's 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.800 not gonna be any situation it's gonna be too big 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.360 for him. But uh, you know, I just thought he 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.120 and Lamar looked really good today out there together, and 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.360 it was nice to see. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.920 The coach fields aded Cooper watch, where do you see him, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.480 and how do you see that advantage in this quarterback room. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:11.080 He's looked good. 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:13.240 I mean he's been out here, he's been learning the offense. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.000 You know, he's picking it up from scratch for him. 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.680 It's all new, all the terminology and everything, and and 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:19.719 he's been working really really hard at it. And I 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.520 think he's pretty much, you know, on his way to 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:25.880 getting it down, uh, processing all the pre snap stuff well, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.880 which is hard in the new offense. And then he 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.640 just gets the ball out really quick. I mean the 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.080 passing game, that ball he makes decisions, boom the balls out. 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:35.120 You know, he's a quick decision maker. That's what he's 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:36.520 always been. And we see it out here. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:38.960 To see him now a guy you know every time 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:39.960 out there with the guys. 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:40.480 Who I've seen him with it. 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.240 He came to see him out there with little better 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:43.880 for the freshment. 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.320 I think he's doing a good job, you know. 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:49.200 For yeah, I don't think he's really flashed yet because 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.280 he's just trying to be in the right spot right 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:52.880 now and make the right call. The safeties have a 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.200 lot of communication, but I haven't seen him make a 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:55.880 mistake yet. 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.719 With the communication. It looks really good as an athlete. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:04:59.560 Uh. 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.600 And you know, with our Darius. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:03.720 Situation, it's a lot on his plate right now, so 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.040 he's gonna have to step up. But that's why we 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.200 drafted him in the first round. 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.360 If you can get to another year, you knew for 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.400 moving the injury. 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.000 Looks like he's he's got his bursts out there. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.640 What do you see from here an the year? 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:17.559 Yeah, I saw that, you know, I saw the burst 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.239 he ran the he ran the little double move rail route, 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:22.400 made a beautiful catch over his shoulder. 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:23.760 Uh. It looked like he. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:26.120 Had to speed and then just ability to adjust and 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.080 track and just not heavy. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:28.880 You know. 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:30.840 Last year he probably you could tell he was thinking 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:32.760 through the knee a little bit. It seemed like I 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.880 haven't seen any of that so far this spring. So 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:36.799 it's good to see. 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:38.480 And I've just scheduled out. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:39.960 Do you have a better idea whether. 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.239 That going practice is the summer. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.640 Yes, we're looking at the Colts and the commanders probably. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:46.160 Uh. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:47.960 For the joint practices, we just got to get the 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.320 details worked out. But those are the ones we're trying 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.799 to set up right now with colts, one day at peace, 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:55.960 one day with the colts, one day with the Commanders 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:56.920 that it's. 0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.160 Pretty early because you guys don't play them that reseason game. 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.720 Who we played in the first preseason game? Yeah, we 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.560 played well, unless has that not been announced the preseason schedule. 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.920 We played the Colts, We played the Cowboys. You play 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.120 the Commanders, so it'd be Colts with a practice, Cowboys 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.600 no practice, Commanders with a practice. 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:16.159 John. 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.919 The last time we spoke to you, justin Tucker was 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.200 on this team and that move has been made. I 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.400 know some time has passed, but just from your perspective 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:28.040 that roster move, were you involved in that decision and 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:29.960 what was that decision making process? 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:30.159 Like? 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.720 It was a complex decision making process, and you know 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:40.000 you're I'm a part of it, Eric Sashi, Ozzie Steve 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.280 is a big part of those kind of decisions. I mean, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.520 you're talking about, you know, arguably the best kicker in 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.080 the history of the game, you know, And like we said, 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.120 it's multi layered, it's complicated, but you've got to in 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.080 the end, it all backs up. It all comes back 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.120 to what you have to do to get ready for 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.320 your team to play the first game. And I think 0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:58.680 if you step back and you take a look at 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:00.640 all the issues and all around. For Cass, you can 0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.479 understand that, you know, we've got to get our football 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:05.479 team ready and we've got to have a kicker ready 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.800 to go, and that that was the move that we 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.240 decided to make. So in that sense, it's a football decision, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.120 you know, And now we have to spend all of 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.240 our focus in our time to get these kickers ready 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:20.040 and we've got a competition going on and get those 0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.080 guys ready to go make kicks. So that's that's all 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.560 I'm thinking about. Like, from my perspective, it's like, we 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.480 got to have a kicker out there making kicks, you know, 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:27.960 and what's the best way to get that done? 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.280 Football kick today is Was that? Was that just the 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.120 planed rotation? 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:35.840 Or Yeah, Tyler kicked yesterday, so they're kicking every other day, 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.200 so you'll see Tyler kick tomorrow. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:38.080 When you said it was. 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.200 A football related decision, I guess there was a lot 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.880 of people not clear on it because the guy hasn't 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.320 kicked in a while. So how can you touch it 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.520 as a football decision when you know the last time 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.520 you kick was January? 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:52.160 I got, yeah, I mean that's a good question. I 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.040 just think it's like you just like I just said, 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.760 it's it's many layer decisions. You know, if it was 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.440 just a black and white, simple thing, then it would 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.800 be easy to understand. But I think anybody can sit 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.880 look at the whole thing and perspective and say, Okay, 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:06.200 we've got to have a kicker ready to go. And 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.200 there's a whole lot of moving parts of that deal, 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.080 you know, and it's just the reality of it, and 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.880 you're you're faced with that. So as an organization, we 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.280 made a statement about it. I thought it was really accurate. 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.120 I saw she did a good job with that and 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:20.240 thought it through, and that's where we're at. 0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:22.640 Any surprise, the NFL hasn't announced anything. 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.800 I don't even I don't even think about that, Like 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:25.360 I don't even know. 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:26.520 I just trying to We're just trying to get the 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.120 guys ready for practice and have a good practice. John 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.199 Jenkins still to be a raven or some fault and 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.319 there no, we got to have a roster spot.

That's what they want, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:06.199 and they should be in the mix for that. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:08.760 With I say it likely. I mean we've seen him 0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:11.839 flashing many times to what would you would you like 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.080 to see him as he keeps progressing. 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:14.200 In this group? Well? 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:15.800 Yeah, I mean I wanted to see be all pro. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:19.200 You know, that'd be my goal for him, and he's 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.240 capable of it. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.120 Tyler Lupis, it's been so much time that you have 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.120 had Whoptucker. You know, you know him as a player, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.720 you have that confidence, and how do you how do 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:31.880 you feel about this process and now kind of redoing 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.880 that all over again with a different player? 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.880 How do I feel about it? I don't really have 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:38.360 a feeling about it. I just want to make sure 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.440 we get right, you know, and work hard at it. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.240 Really, John, is there any kind of risk knowing that 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:46.959 you know, you guys have Super Bowl aspirations and having 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.800 a kicker that could be very young. I mean, is 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.120 there a risk in ball, but having a young kicker 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:54.040 with a championship Calber team. 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:56.440 There's a lot of risks in life. You know, there's 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.000 a risk you're getting your car. You'd be driving home 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:59.240 in this rain. You know, I want you to be 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.640 very careful. It's gonna be risky out there on that road. 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:08.240 John John one more d hop question wide receivers on 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.319 this team and been great run blockers, particular the last 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.440 few years, toddling him all less in others, and I 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.719 just wanted to know a player like him who's been 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.560 a great run block in the past's kind of declined 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.080 a little bit of as his career is going on. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.520 How much do you want him to be a leader 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:20.360 in that regard? 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.520 Well, I saw him out here today, got one and 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:24.120 he came back with a big smile on his face. 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.360 We threw something over there on the left sideline and 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:27.080 he was he locked. 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:27.760 I think it was TJ. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:28.200 Tampa. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.240 I think he maybe kind of locked up in the block, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.160 took a little pride in it, so I would expect 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.360 that to continue to be a big part of his game. 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:38.640 We saw seeing a tape he would develop into a 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:39.680 double digit sack guy. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.240 What is I guess, is the next step for him? 0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.120 And what has it been like to see him develop 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:45.120 it in the way that he has. 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.400 I'm just really happy with a DAFE right now in 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.400 terms of like what he's done in the last three months. 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.719 You saw him out there, right, I mean, how's he 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.480 look to you? He looks good. He's put on twelve 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:59.200 or fifteen pounds of muscle, He's worked really hard. He's 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.880 just very determined to be really great again. I mean 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.600 my goal for him is to be all pro, you know, 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.720 go be the best, be the best in the business. 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:06.640 Uh. 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:08.679 And that's tough because there's a lot of goo players 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.760 playing in his position. But that's the way he sees 0:11:10.840 --> 0:11:11.959 himself and let's go. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.360 For it just quickly. 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:18.559 Like, did you see him being more like it was 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:20.240 to be the power guy with that with that added 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:20.920 muscle or what. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.080 Yeah, I can see him being if you want to 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.440 call it that, the more direct rusher. Yeah, I use 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.240 the use his power, use bowl a little bit more 0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:28.520 sure A. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.760 Chance to ask you, I don't think about how Darius's progress. 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.400 God him, you have a chance to position right. 0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.600 Our Darius had the torn achilles. It was clean there, 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.960 if you want to call it that. So it's one 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.360 of those ones that heals. It's the more quick healing version. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:42.360 Uh. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.840 So our Darius tells me he'll be back in November. 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.720 So you know, he's always been a quick healer. I'm 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.520 looking at November December in my mind. So yes, we're 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.360 counting on him being back. But it's you know, I 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.640 mean speculation, but nobody's gonna work harder. He got back 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:01.160 from the foot last time really quick. So yeah, I 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:05.520 mean he was, he's he's he's become a really good player, 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.680 like I must say, a great player. He's really become 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:11.880 a great player. Nobody deserves opportunity and success more than 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.440 our Darius Washington, and uh, nobody's gonna fight harder for it. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:17.760 So yeah, I'm counting on getting back. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:20.560 Out there. 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.880 Any Yeah woo was he was sick?

You know, obviously, you know, I wish we 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:38.960 didn't have to, you know, go through that again last year. 0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:41.800 But we've added a lot of guys to a lot 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:42.840 of guys that are flying around. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:46.840 And this team is is incredibly stacked with incredible players. 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:48.240 We have a lot of healthy. 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.840 Competition going all around, which makes us better, drives us 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:53.400 to be better, and this is gonna be a dangerous team. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.200 I think that we keep our head down, we keep working, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.720 stay humble, follow God, and you know, we're gonna see 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.680 what what happens.

You know, ultimately that 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:22.760 the end goal, and so just being around him it's infectious. 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:25.359 You know, it's just you know how driven he is, 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.720 how focused he is on the end goal. So just 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.640 feeding on that. You know, he's our leader. He does 0:20:32.000 --> 0:20:35.159 you know, so many things and incredible, but the biggest 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:37.480 thing about him is he's the type of teammate that 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:37.720 he is. 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:38.240 He's awesome. 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:42.919 Mark something that Mancin has added to the offensive. The 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.680 tight end productivity has been the best probably in NFL 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:48.680 history last two years or thirty touchdowns and one interception. 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:50.080 Talk about what he's added to the game. 0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:53.160 It's it's enabled to Yeah, you know, monks, a monk's 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:56.160 a creative mind, and you know he's always pushing us 0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.399 to be better. You know, run up to the line fast, 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.879 all the little details that matter within a game. And 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.920 you know, it's it makes a difference because when you're 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.439 on your details, when you're focused on the little things, 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:10.399 those are the things that matter. And I think that 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.600 you know him continue to push us. His creative mind 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.280 is calling the plays.

I mean, I 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.200 do my own camp in Massachusetts. But I felt like, 0:23:46.240 --> 0:23:50.080 you know, since Baltimore took an opportunity on me four 0:23:50.160 --> 0:23:52.200 years ago, I mean, I wanted to always give back. 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.439 Just didn't know how.

But Nick Moore is gonna be 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:10.040 out there, So if you're gonna be in center field, 0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:14.200 I duck. But yeah, they said he's probably the best 0:24:14.240 --> 0:24:17.359 one out there other than me, of course, of course, 0:24:18.359 --> 0:24:20.600 not the best hitter. I used to pitch play center field. 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:24.800 But once to the cages, once to the cages a 0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:29.280 little bit.

Uh it's get off 0:34:21.200 --> 0:34:24.680 his crazy hands strong. It's a shame that he had 0:34:24.719 --> 0:34:27.080 the uh, the hamstring issues last year cause he was 0:34:27.080 --> 0:34:27.920 already ready to go. 0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:28.160 Then. 0:34:29.239 --> 0:34:32.080 You know, I'm I'm looking forward to see a big season. 0:34:31.840 --> 0:34:34.960 For him, cause he can like you just got rid of. 0:34:35.080 --> 0:34:39.600 But yeah, no, he he's the truth. He he's pretty seasoned, 0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:45.560 quick twitchy. Uh. You know, he he picks up things fast. 0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.520 He's learning a lot of positions right now, and he's 0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:50.800 still playing fast as well. So yeah, he's gonna have 0:34:50.840 --> 0:34:51.640 a good season as well. 0:34:52.960 --> 0:34:53.080 Uh. 0:34:53.120 --> 0:34:55.759 But you're I know, you're from always looking to be 0:34:55.880 --> 0:34:57.799 as best, as ready as you can be. But does 0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:01.800 your contract situation, how does that impact your outlook. 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:02.160 On the season. 0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:05.440 Obviously, you know, I'm just trying to, you know, be 0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:08.800 the best player for the team. I would be crazy 0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:10.560 to say that's not something looming in the back of 0:35:10.600 --> 0:35:12.640 my mind, but you know, every year I try to 0:35:12.640 --> 0:35:16.200 get better try to be better than I was last year. So, 0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:18.160 to be honest, that's really what I'm focused on. I 0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:20.160 know if I do that, it's gonna take care of you. 0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:22.640 So you're talking, uh. 0:35:22.640 --> 0:35:24.480 Top a back how motivated you were by the lots 0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:25.320 the last season. 0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:28.160 There's a lot of ice here today who like they did, 0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:28.920 they don't have to be here for. 0:35:29.000 --> 0:35:29.480 Better or other. 0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:33.000 It's back people getting like where does it tell you 0:35:33.040 --> 0:35:35.000 about put up like my favorite team, because there's. 0:35:34.840 --> 0:35:38.440 So many words. Yeah, you know, we're we're tired of finishing, 0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:41.640 you know, spots where we shouldn't have finished. We're d 0:35:41.680 --> 0:35:43.960 We're just trying to capitalize. And you could tell by 0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:47.560 guys like Lamar d hob Dann Bait and uh Row 0:35:48.480 --> 0:35:50.759 uh k ham got a beaks g guys that you 0:35:50.760 --> 0:35:52.319 know don't, like you said, don't have to be here, 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.680 but we're here. We're putting in the work, uh building 0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:57.560 the foundations and it's a testament to what the goal 0:35:57.680 --> 0:35:59.520 is in the future. And I feel like, you know, 0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:01.319 we got the team. We we had the team the 0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:03.799 past few years, to be honest, and it's just I 0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:06.239 feel like experience and the attitude now is gonna get 0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:07.760 us over the hump definite. 0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:09.880 I know it's just a tas, but how do you 0:36:09.920 --> 0:36:12.200 feel like the added weight is is working out for 0:36:12.239 --> 0:36:14.839 you out here? You feel just as explosive as he did? 0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:15.879 And do you feel strong in life? 0:36:16.000 --> 0:36:17.640 I mean it's oh yeah. So I haven't really got 0:36:17.640 --> 0:36:20.319 to you know, test to yet, but I've had some 0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.719 s s situations where I try to, like you know, 0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:23.720 push somebody and stuff. 0:36:23.960 --> 0:36:24.480 They kind of. 0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.600 Flying off too. So uh no, it's helping. It's helping, 0:36:27.680 --> 0:36:29.520 and I I I I think it's gonna be good 0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:30.040 for me this year. 0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:31.520 Yeah, it's just the biggest shap. 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.239 Yeah, my life, to be honest. Yeah. 0:36:35.040 --> 0:36:35.239 Yeah. 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:37.480 Can people tell you previously like hey, I I think 0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:40.640 you could ultimately somethay add muscles with how athletic you 0:36:40.719 --> 0:36:41.319 are that like. 0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.680 Yeah they taught Yeah, they told me that. I was 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:48.000 always trying to keep my speed, but my speed hasn't diminished, 0:36:48.040 --> 0:36:49.960 so that was always something that I was looming in 0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:51.719 my mind. But uh, I guess it's the way you 0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:54.480 train to keep the muscle and then obviously when you're 0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:56.560 building the muscles, be able to make sure you can 0:36:56.719 --> 0:37:00.120 be mobile with it. Yeah, I'm I'm good straight do 0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:01.160 you do you have. 0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:02.759 Like a number in mind that you wanted to get 0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.120 to the shore like a a rade hole or whatever. 0:37:05.239 --> 0:37:07.719 Year Like, okay, I you did fifteen to twenty or whatever. 0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:10.439 The number four just more than more than last year. 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.719 I feel like they took away like three sacks away 0:37:12.760 --> 0:37:14.880 from me on on account of the other ones that 0:37:14.920 --> 0:37:19.160 I missed. It's more than eleven, you know, just just 0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:20.400 try to be more than that I got. I got 0:37:20.480 --> 0:37:22.120 number in my head though, if I keep that to myself. 0:37:22.280 --> 0:37:26.000 Yeah, yeah, there last that number. 0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:27.640 Yeah, no, I had that. I'm I'm just not gonna 0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:29.640 tell you yet cause season I. 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:32.120 Know you're so set a element of trying to for yourself. 0:37:32.400 --> 0:37:33.720 Had your cow sacks seven? 0:37:33.840 --> 0:37:35.240 Do you feel like you're seventeens when. 0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:37.680 You grow to be from leadership perspective, as you were, 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:39.040 keeps getting younger. 0:37:38.800 --> 0:37:40.200 And you're becoming more of that. 0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:45.680 Yeah yeah, so yeah, I feel like each year I'm 0:37:45.680 --> 0:37:48.480 happy to also get better, but also in you know, 0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.239 there's new guys coming in my room, but then we 0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:54.080 always add a little uh a vet and stuff like that. 0:37:54.120 --> 0:37:57.879 But I've been able to learn from kV other guys 0:37:57.880 --> 0:37:59.880 I've had in the past, So this year is a 0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.759 really young room, so it's kind of like forcing me 0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.319 to be in that position. But at the same time, 0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:07.560 I know there's like aspects of my game that I 0:38:07.560 --> 0:38:09.600 gotta get better so I can be a leader for 0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:12.080 them too. So it's kind of a weird dynamic I'm 0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:16.040 in right now, but I'm taking it with Stradaes appreciate 0:38:16.040 --> 0:38:16.160 it that. 0:38:16.400 --> 0:38:17.560 Thank you. 0:38:20.120 --> 0:38:23.480 That's it for today's Ravens Press Past podcast.
