00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 4: overall I question of the past couple?

18
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know just what we thought. Guys at Love

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: foot Ball. They're working hard, picking things up quickly. Practice

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: has been pretty pretty darn crisp. You know for coming

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: out here for the first time. These guys have never

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: been the system, really never practiced in the NFL before.

23
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 2: They were excited yesterday. They were a little hyped up

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: a couple guys. You know, sometimes you gotta just you know,

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: cal him to slow your mind down a little bit.

26
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: He goes slower mind means a faster body a lot

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: of times athletically.

28
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 3: So we did that.

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: But they did a good job and not not being

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: over zealous in terms of, you know, banging into each

31
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: other stuff. Understanding it's an orientation period. So happy with

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: how they're doing.

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 5: John, we didn't ask you about Ruckus in that signage.

34
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 5: What does he bring to this defense and what are

35
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:40,919
Speaker 5: you excited about with his addition?

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, he's a young veteran corner. You know, he's

37
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 2: We've always appreciated the way he plays. He's he's a

38
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: very diligent player. He can run, he's he's a good tackler,

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 2: he's tough player, a good good man, his own player.

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 3: Both.

41
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: We were impressed when we talked to him and just

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: happy to get it done. So we're looking forward to

43
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: seeing how he does.

44
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 5: He'll save closed the door on any other significant a

45
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 5: editions at that secondary spot.

46
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, good question.

47
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 2: I would say, no, I don't think you'd ever ever

48
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: really closed the door on any any personnel move you know, uh,

49
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: whoever it might be.

50
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 6: Uh.

51
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: You know, if you you probably ask me about Marcus

52
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: and whatever the corners are out there, I would say,

53
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 2: you know, you don't close the door.

54
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: And good players and good people. We'll see how it goes.

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 7: These guys.

56
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 8: Obviously you get ready for the draft, which you know,

57
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 8: the combines not really exactly like football, do you? Uh,

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 8: I don't know, are you true to see what kind

59
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 8: of shape guys are there? You pretty like pretty much

60
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 8: think they woke in shape with that part this process too, well, you.

61
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: Are curious, sure for sure, Cliff, to see what kind

62
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: of shape they're in. But then we found out they're

63
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: all in good shape. You know, So our guys did

64
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: a good job. Our guys said, no problem with the practice. Uh,

65
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 2: happy with how they're doing. Yeah, early impressions.

66
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 5: At Zay and and what you just in particular that

67
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 5: you've seen everything that you like.

68
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: Sure, uh, just if you go through the whole maybe

69
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: the draft guys, but Zay uh, Zay looks just as advertised, quick,

70
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: good hands, very smart, you know, picking things up really quickly,

71
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: playing every position right now across the board, and with

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: what we've installed. It's just the first two install days.

73
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 2: But I'd say, uh, everything he's expected to see. You

74
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: saw catching the ball well, Simpson, you know, same thing.

75
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: Looks fast, picking things up, very good communicator. You know,

76
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 2: obviously there's a lot for these guys on their plate.

77
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: There's a lot to learn. But he's off to a

78
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: good start. Who's next, Uh yeah, uh, cayu yeah, cayu.

79
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 3: Uh.

80
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: I would say even with him, you know, he looks

81
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: really good. I would say, just for me personally, even

82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: a little more athletic than I thought, you know from

83
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: the draft on the tape, he looks really really fluid,

84
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: solid thing sala six round pick uh, solid, good feet,

85
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: just like we thought. I'd say, just how we thought

86
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: harder for the lineman, cause you know we don't we're

87
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: not in pads. But he moves real well, seems like

88
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: he's picking things up well.

89
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: Was it those thirty guys for the drafts?

90
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, he was definitely in the mix. He

91
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 3: was he was. He was in the first upper half

92
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 3: of that group for sure. Who else Tavis Davis Yeah,

93
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: he looks. He looks good. He looks high energy, high energy.

94
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: You know, I think his I think his skill set

95
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 2: is going to really express itself with the pads on.

96
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: But he's he's a he's a tall, rangy guy with

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: heavy hands and a lot of energy.

98
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 9: You are we going with sal Is that?

99
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 7: Hell, we're gonna go with that.

100
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: I think that's how he goes. I think, yeah, because yeah,

101
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: no chance you have to name.

102
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: The media person you're supposed to pronunciate these things.

103
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: Is that what You're a writer not a.

104
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 9: Does he do you look at him as a tackle?

105
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 7: Is it just getting reps at both.

106
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: And see where he kind of make a decision when

107
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: you have to make a decision.

108
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And versatility is good.

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: He's he's a developmental player at this point, you know,

110
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: so I think he'll develop quickly. But guard tackle pretty

111
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 2: much on the right side right now? Then focus on

112
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: that side.

113
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 7: How much was good good?

114
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 9: How much the more he's on your radar? I mean,

115
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 9: it's interesting to trade back in and get him when

116
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 9: you did. How much was he on the radar all

117
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 9: along through this process?

118
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: You know he was probably you know he was on

119
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 2: the radar, but it wasn't like a big blip on

120
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: the radar because he had the he had the dot

121
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: on there that said he was injured.

122
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Uh, we'd watch him.

123
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: We had him ranked as a high you know, as

124
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: a draftable player, third round type pick type guy maybe

125
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: in that range, and uh, when we got towards the end,

126
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: you know, we just he's still there obviously, and we'd

127
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: we kind of started talking about him in terms of

128
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 2: compared to the other guys that were available, and it's like,

129
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: this is a real value. Let's try to get back

130
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 2: in and see when we get him. And Eric did

131
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: a great job with that.

132
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 5: John, you guys rolled out him, you know, possibly being available.

133
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: This year probably I would say, yeah, I think the

134
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 2: plan for him this year is to rehab. He's he's

135
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: you know, hey, who knows what could happen, But let's

136
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: give him every opportunity he gets healthy as he can

137
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 2: get you be ready to go next next offseason.

138
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 9: Jack, we're talking about the guy's playing and throw him

139
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 9: up between do you see Kelly's this guy capable slot

140
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 9: and outside corner or is there.

141
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 5: You know he thinks his strengths.

142
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 7: Are in a certain area.

143
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, he's definitely capable mentally to do it. H physically,

144
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 2: we just have to see, you know, how he fits.

145
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: You put a guy and he can do it. I

146
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 2: mean he's got the skill set. It's really more of

147
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 2: a how do you process in there, having a feel

148
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: for the routes and stuff like that. But he's good

149
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 2: enough to play outside anyway. So he's fast enough, you know. Uh,

150
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: and he's he's really smooth and fluid, opens up his hips.

151
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: You're gonna like his feet when you see him. He's

152
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: he's a little taller and rangier than kind of high.

153
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: He looked on tape to me. So yeah, it looks

154
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: good so far, but hey, it's early. I mean we're

155
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: just starting.

156
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 10: John because returning the special teams bet something that a

157
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 10: Flowers is accident is hit.

158
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 7: He did.

159
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: He caught punch yesterday, looked really good doing it. So yeah, absolutely,

160
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 2: we'll we'll take a look at that.

161
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 4: John has a wall since you had a doubleware quarterback

162
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 4: D five here number five. Notice, I mean you know

163
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 4: I believe he is a Drift Flackoo fan, so coming

164
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: from Delaware, So yeah, I mean did he did he

165
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 4: did he s anything about him to best goal days or.

166
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he looked good. He's he got real smooth athlete,

167
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: real smart. Both guys, I mean both the two quarterbacks

168
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: in here, uh, Delaware and Buis State. I mean, those

169
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: guys did a good job. I thought they were both

170
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: very confident, ran things well, picked up the offense very

171
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: very quickly.

172
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: After that. You know, you just you don't know until

173
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 3: things kind of the bullets start to fly a little bit.

174
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 5: So as we kind of try to figure out what

175
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 5: this secondary might look like, did you guys have a

176
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: plan for what you want tran Steve is to focus

177
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 5: on with this off season positionally, I know he's kind

178
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: of bounced around a bunch of talk.

179
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's a great question.

180
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: We're going to start him off at safety and uh

181
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: and work as a safety corner combination. I mean, the

182
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 2: versatility again, we love it, but he's going to focus

183
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: more on safety. He's got a lot of reps of

184
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: corners so far. Try to really get that down. And

185
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: you know, one of his superpowers is going to be

186
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: he can play all five spots.

187
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 5: Is like a nickelback type caled Hamilton, like you know

188
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: Stuft that he could maybe fit in.

189
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: I think he could, you know, I mean, he's you know,

190
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: those guys become interchangeable if they're playing the nickel spot too,

191
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: and we probably more than anybody played three safety type

192
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: grouping out there in our nickel package, so I would

193
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: think he could do the same type thing.

194
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: It's always great to hear from John Harbott, and he

195
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: had some good things to say about what he's seen

196
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: out of these rookies. There's obviously a learning curve going

197
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: from the collegiate level to the NFL, but it seems

198
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: like these newcomers are eager to put in the work

199
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: and show what they're capable of at the next level.

200
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: Before we get to the next press conference, don't forget

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: to subscribe, rate, and review the Ravens Press Pass podcast

202
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: if you haven't already. Next up is the Ravens first

203
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: round selection at pick number twenty two wide receivers Zay

204
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: Flowers from Boston College. From what we've seen so far

205
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: during rookie camp, Zay is an explosive playmaker with quick

206
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: feet and big play potential. Here's what he had to

207
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: say to the Ravens media.

208
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: So I had to feel being out there.

209
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: I don't mean obviously you practice so many time, but

210
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 4: how did was it different being out there being an.

211
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 7: NFL, it's not really different. I would say it's more

212
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 7: spaed up, it's more urgent. You gotta know what you're doing.

213
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 7: You gotta be able to take it from the classroom

214
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 7: to the field. So it's not it's really not different.

215
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 7: In college, you just have more time to like learn

216
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 7: it and they'll take you through more. And in the

217
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 7: NFL you really just gotta get it and go so.

218
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: That your way of sitting.

219
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 7: You made a couple of mistakes, but I think everybody

220
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 7: gonna make a couple of mistakes the first time I'm

221
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 7: out there. But you know, it's part of the building

222
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 7: process to.

223
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 5: Say it's so early, but what are your early impressions

224
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 5: of Top Munkins offense.

225
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 7: I love it. It's kind of like some of the

226
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 7: stuff I ran at BC. I love it if I

227
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 7: think it fit my style, like perfect.

228
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 5: What do you think it's your style?

229
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 7: Running? Getting open and be able to create space, deep balls, short, intermediate,

230
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 7: do it all?

231
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: Do you see yourself as more inside more outside in

232
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: that offense you have?

233
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 7: I feel like I could play anyway.

234
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 9: Say, when we were talking to John Harbor before the draft,

235
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 9: he said, well, a shorter receiver has to have other superpowers. Yeah,

236
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 9: so what are your superpowers?

237
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 7: I feel like I'm a complete receiver. I could do

238
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 7: it all you name it, I'd be able to do it. Now.

239
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: When we talked with Lamar as this pass speakers mentioning

240
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 4: you and.

241
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 5: Some of the other receivers and talking about maybe throwing six.

242
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: Think about that.

243
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 7: I love that. Let's do it. I'm with it. Whatever

244
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 7: you want to do, I'm with it.

245
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: You mentioned your.

246
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 7: Inside or outside.

247
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: I feel like, like, what do you what do you

248
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 5: prefer to be like?

249
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 6: Worser YEA the most comfortable like to be he feel

250
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 6: like they're most dangerous.

251
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 7: I really, I honestly don't have a preference because I

252
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 7: feel like I could run every route on the outside

253
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 7: and I could run every round on the inside, So

254
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 7: I don't really have a preference.

255
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: Have you had any conversation with Lamar Let's do more

256
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 5: in depth about how you guys are gonna play.

257
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 7: Or what he likes. Maybe this week when I go home,

258
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 7: we would probably throw a little bit talk, but it

259
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 7: was just about last week. We were just talking about

260
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 7: throwing and trying to catch up a little bit.

261
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 3: You expect to do that on music Sac South wherever

262
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: you guys.

263
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 7: Fuck up And yeah, absolutely absolutely.

264
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 8: So.

265
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: Uh I think when when that pandemic season happens, and uh,

266
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 5: I guess when the pandemic happened in two thousand. You know,

267
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 5: you talked about how important that that you know, period

268
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: was for you and just trying to work your hardest and.

269
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 7: Be as as you could be.

270
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 5: Did you kind of go into that that stretch like

271
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 5: knowing that you wanted to work as hard as you did?

272
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 5: And I guess, like, where were you in for where

273
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 5: were you after after that stretch?

274
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 7: Before that? That was my freshman year, so I was

275
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 7: kind of like probably like one hundred and fifty pounds,

276
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 7: So I knew I had to gain weight, route, run,

277
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 7: and just try to get better at every aspect of

278
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 7: get every aspect of my game. And that's what I

279
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 7: was able to do because we had four months off

280
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 7: until we actually went and played the game, and I

281
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 7: was able to do that every day and build up

282
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 7: to what I wanted.

283
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 5: Do you think that kind of stuff is changing to

284
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 5: yourself sports.

285
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 7: And everything like that, You like, it's a part of it.

286
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 7: But I was a hard record before that. I just

287
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 7: needed some weight.

288
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 5: Was there a play after that period that you lived

289
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 5: to where you started establishing that physicality that you became

290
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 5: pretty well known for at.

291
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 7: The Boston College. Nah. I wouldn't say a play in particular,

292
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 7: but it was probably a couple of plays that added

293
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 7: up to parties to that.

294
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 5: Is there a target way that you were the coaches

295
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 5: want you or this year?

296
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 7: Uh no, they really haven't given me one yet, but

297
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 7: I have my own.

298
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 9: We saw the video of you and your club conference

299
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 9: with your dad there. Emotionally, what was it like for

300
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 9: you walking in here and seeing your your your jersey,

301
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 9: your name and just lock.

302
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 7: Going on this man? It was a dream come true,

303
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 7: like at the draft, Like there's a lot of emotions

304
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 7: so and you don't really get to the team yet,

305
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 7: so you don't really feel it. And then when you

306
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 7: see the jersey your name on it with the end

307
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 7: of and all that, and then it's like all right

308
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 7: now we here. How many number four dress is you

Speaker 6: You know.

317
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 7: Oh he DM me. He was in my DM for

318
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 7: like three days and I was like, Carmelo Anthony text me,

319
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 7: and then I clicked on the space. He was like

320
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 7: seven many fives. Oh yeah, that's it.

321
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: I know we're all pumped to see that Lamar to

322
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Zay connection this season, but I don't think anyone is

323
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: more excited than Zay himself. Flowers said he's looking forward

324
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: to playing in Todd Monkin's offense and he thinks it

325
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: will fit his style perfectly. You're listening to Ravens Press Pass.

00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,560

Speaker 10: the NFL. So just to be in the locker room

00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 10: in the building for the first time moved to like him.

382
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 10: I would say I came in eager, like I was

383
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 10: ready to get to work. I couldn't wait to wake

00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 10: up Thursday morning to fly here and just get started

385
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 10: with ball again. But all the nerves is down now

386
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 10: and I'm just feel like I'm just playing football and

387
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 10: just getting into the locker room and meeting new teammates,

388
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 10: and I'm just getting to build a relationship with all

389
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 10: my coaches, you know, special team defensive coordinator and all

390
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 10: my teammates.

391
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 7: It's a blessing to be here.

392
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 5: For sure, we'll get some of the free draft coverage.

393
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 5: I think one of the guys, if you said you're

394
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 5: most excited to try to tackle or sack with Lamar

395
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 5: Jackson's now here you are. Is it a better feeling

396
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 5: the worst feeling that you're gonna see him every day

397
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 5: in practice, or that you can't technically sack him, or

398
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: how do you kind of think of that?

399
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 7: Oh?

400
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 10: No, it's cool to be able to play with him.

401
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 10: I'm ready to play with sal Lamar Jackson, you know,

402
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 10: and see the magic he does in practice every day

403
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 10: and compete because I know when he goes out there

404
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 10: on Sundays he's gonna do his thing, So it's I'm

405
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 10: blessed to be his teammate and ready to work and

406
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 10: make sure on defense we handle our part so offense

407
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 10: can do their thing.

408
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 7: You know, are you.

409
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 5: Bumped that you can't actually get ahold of the time,

410
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,440

411
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 10: Oh no, that's my QB now, So I just tag

412

428
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 10: to get that call from a team that wanted me

429
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 10: and was excited about the things that I can bring

430
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 10: to the locker room and on the field, it was

431
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 10: a blessing, you know. And to have my mom right there,

432
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 10: cause she's been a part of every step, So it

00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 10: was just blessed, you know, and that was just roy motion.

434
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 10: I'm just glad to be a Baltimore Raven.

435
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 5: Is there anything in Pickler that went into the number

436
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 5: he shows?

437
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 10: Uh? I would say thirties. It was the best available

438
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 10: number and I'm excited to refor it the best way

439
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 10: I can.

440
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 7: It's there, Suh.

441
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 5: I know it's early days, but uh, anything kind of

442
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,719
Speaker 5: stick out to you about the differences the similarities between

443
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 5: this Raves defense and once you played, uh played with.

444
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 10: I would definitely say the similarity is, uh, the way

445
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 10: we play on defense everything. It's like they say, play

446
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 10: like a Baltimore Raven, play like a Raven. I feel

447
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 10: like it's a fast, physical defense and it allows to

448
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 10: pl fly around and play quick. That's definitely something we

449
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 10: did at Clemson. And I'm just deciited to come in

450
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 10: and hold up to the standard like coach bring it

451
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 10: uh shows us every morning, like he shows us the

452
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 10: Ray Lewis is those type of guys films, So like,

453
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 10: just to come in here and hold up to the standards.

454
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 10: What I look forward to doing that any differentticipation, Nah,

455
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 10: I I would say just the speed of it. The

456
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 10: NFL is a little bit faster, but I feel like

457
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 10: we're all adapting and me every day just taking practice

458
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 10: reps so when the game they come, it'll be just

459
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 10: like college.

460
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 7: Again. You mentioned the fellow ray Lewis and the lineage

461
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 7: are flying backers here very wrong.

462
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 5: Does that add to your sense between and Baltimore playing

463
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: for this franchise?

464
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's I feel like, That's why I was so

465
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 10: emotional when I got trapped, because I'm coming to a

466
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 10: place where it's linebacker, you know, legendary players here, you know. So, uh,

467
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 10: just seeing guys like Ray Lewis, Terrell Suggs, you know,

468
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 10: ro Corn Smith, Patrick Quinn, guys like that, and being

469
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 10: able to be in the locker room with two of

Speaker 1: Trent said he grew up watching Roquan Smith and admires

474
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: how Roe plays the game. So having leaders like Smith

475
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: and Patrick Queen and that linebacker's room with trenton his

476
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: potential is sky high here in Baltimore. He also talked

477
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: about that Ravens linebacker lineage. You can tell he understands

478
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: the history of the linebacker position here in Charms City

479
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 1: and he's looking forward to being a part of that.

480
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,879

485
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: Laoulu from Oregon. Sala is a powerful blocker who can

486
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: play at right tackle, but the Ravens could have some

487
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: flexibility to shift him to the guard position. Now, let's

488
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,800

Speaker 5: work and tackle but also a cross training at guard,

512
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 5: just become and more versatile.

514
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 6: I like to do both. So being versatilezed my thing.

515
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,439

521
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: this offensive line when you got Morgan Moses to right tackle.

522
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 3: But in the league long time Kevin Zeitler a guard

523
