00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We have the

2
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: pleasure of sitting down with tight end Mark Andrews and

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: we've got the big guests. We've got the big guests

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: coming on three touchdowns in the past two games. You

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: feel like you seem like you're in a zone. Is

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: kind of air zone?

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: Just hit me. That just came to me. How do

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: you How do you feel right now?

9
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: I feel good? You know.

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 4: First off, thank you for having me on the lounge.

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 4: Of course I've seen you know, I saw Rose and

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 4: a couple of other guys in the past, and you

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 4: guys always do an incredible job.

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 3: So it's good to be on here.

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: Weil listener. You're buttering us up.

16
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 4: Around, No, I really do appreciate it. But I feel good, man.

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 4: It's I think, you know, these last couple of games,

18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 4: in the last three games, I think it just as

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 4: a team, we've kind of, you know, flipped a script

20
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 4: and are starting to become who we want to be,

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 4: and that's a resilient, tough, efficient football team that that

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:00:59,639
Speaker 4: that's able to win games no matter what.

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 5: Did it mean anything more to you going to Arizona?

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 5: Like we all made a big deal of it, and

25
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 5: we were just chatting and walking up here, But like,

26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 5: was it any more significant playing back home?

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 3: You know? For me?

28
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, the part I take pride in is

29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: being in front of my family and having all my

30
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 4: family and friends there. I think that was really cool.

31
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 4: It's probably the first time that's happened to me, and

32
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: I have a lot of respect for my roots and

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: playing you know, high school ball in Arizona's where it

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: all started when I was in high school.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: So first time coming back and doing that.

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: So it was just a pleasure to be out there

37
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 4: and play and uh, and be in front of my

38
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 4: family and and get that win.

39
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: But at the same time, you know, Baltimore's home too, so.

40
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 5: I got to get to the bottom of this. So

41
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 5: in Marlon Humphreys ig live after the game, which I'm

42
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 5: sure you guys just love. So you looks good in

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 5: the cowboy hat though, I will give you, I will

44
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 5: give you props for that. So you know, when he

45
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 5: was doing his little interview with you during that, he

46
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 5: was like, you know, Arizona Cardinals didn't want to draft you.

47
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 5: They said you were too slow, too soft. Did he

48
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 5: just completely make that or was there any.

49
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 6: Truth to that.

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: I don't know what goes through that kid's head. You know,

51
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 4: maybe he knows something I don't know, but yeah, you know, if.

52
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: He doesn't spiller, I'm sure if.

53
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: They really wanted me, they would have gone and get me.

54
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 4: But you know, everything happens for a reason. And yeah,

55
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Marlin's if you would have saw, you know how he

56
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: was talking to coach.

57
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: Harball, he was hitting him like.

58
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 6: He's crazy.

59
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,519
Speaker 4: He is crazy, man, But that's something I think he

60
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 4: could be really good at here in the future if

61
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: he just takes a little more serious.

62
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Is it kind of wild for you? You know, they

63
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: shared on the broadcast like some old high school photos.

64
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: Obviously you didn't see that, but you know, you know

65
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: this tall, lanky kid playing wide receiver, you know, back

66
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: in high school and now like, look at you, you're

67
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: one of the best tight ends in the NFL. Right, Like,

68
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: is there any moment when you're back home kind of

69
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: where you reflect upon, gosh, it's it's been an incredible journey.

70
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: You know, it has been an incredible journey, you know,

71
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: and it's not it didn't just start with you know,

72
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 4: high school football started since a young age of playing

73
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 4: sports and playing soccer and and with my face, you know,

74
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 4: all the people that have helped me get to me

75
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 4: to where I am today, and I'm extremely thankful for that,

76
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: and you know, I try to let them know, you know,

77
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 4: just how thankful I am to come from an incredible

78
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 4: support staff and have people behind me that you know,

79
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 4: fully support me and have my back.

80
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's a blessing.

81
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: So when you score the touchdown, were you able to

82
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: find him in the crowd?

83
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: Do you give them the point?

84
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: No? No, I didn't. Right before the game start, I

85
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: really didn't see him too much.

86
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: You know, there's a couple of different things we were

87
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: doing out there, and but I saw them right before

88
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 4: the game started, you know, And I saw them all

89
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 4: stand it up and gave them a little salute, and

90
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 4: my dad saluted back, and you know, saw my mom

91
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: and my brothers and my sister.

92
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: So yeah, that was good, good motivation for me.

93
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

94
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 5: So on the touchdown you scored, I want to get

95
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 5: your perspective on that play because and looking at it,

96
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 5: it looked like that was kind of the street ball

97
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 5: thing that you and the War have. It looked like

98
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 5: you kind of broke off your route and pointed over

99
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 5: and he delivered the ball on the money. Like take

100
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: me through that that route and what was going through

101
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 5: your mind? And does set play unfolded?

102
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, just running across the field and you know the

103
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: defense you know, kind of tried to cheat it a

104
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: little bit and they started running, you know, way before

105
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: I got to my spot. And that's when you see Lamar,

106
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: you know kind of you know, thinking back back shoulder

107
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: and you know you could kind of see me, you know, pointing.

108
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: Back shoulder and yeah, yeah, yeah.

109
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: So that's something that just you know a lot of hours,

110
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: a lot of ball and just knowing how he plays

111
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: and how he sees the game, which is incredible. And

112
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: I think all the guys are able to do that

113
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: in the field and that's why we're so dangerous. But

114
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 4: he made an incredible place, you know and sticking his

115
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: leg up, you know, getting stepped on and being able

116
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 4: to flick the ball you know, twenty five yards you know,

117
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 4: and then be able to get it there without the

118
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: guys from the backside coming in and hitting the ball

119
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 4: out was so impressive.

120
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: You know, just to see that back was really cool.

121
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like I didn't realize how impressive the throw was

122
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 5: until I saw the replay, like it was that back

123
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: angle where he's getting stepped on and he just throws

124
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 5: it like a dart.

125
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 6: Like, did you realize at the time how ridiculous throw was?

126
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: No?

127
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: I didn't. I did well at the time. I was

128
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: throw it earlier.

129
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 6: You know.

130
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 4: You know, he's just he's just so special in everything

131
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 4: that he does, and he's a he's a you know,

132
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: epitome of what we're all trying to be and what

133
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 4: a raven is because that guy special.

134
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: It looks like you're also really good at seeing where

135
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: the throwing lane is, you know, like he had a

136
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: blocker rate in front of him, and it feels like

137
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: that's part of your chemistry.

138
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: Am I right that?

139
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Like you're seeing, Oh, his vision is blocked here, I

140
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: need to get into a window.

141
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 4: Well, I think the hardest part is being on his

142
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 4: side and you know, some of his arm angles and

143
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: how he figures out, you know, how to get the

144
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 4: ball out. That's a tough thing to do and I

145
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 4: don't really understand how he does it, how he sees it.

146
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 4: And yeah, it could be over top, could be a side.

147
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 3: You know.

148
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 4: For me, it's just finding open lanes and trying to

149
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: be as friendly as I can within.

150
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: The pocket of what he has to make his arm

151
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: angles easier. He does a great job with that.

152
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: So I'm curious about the kind of you know, street

153
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: ball to what Garrett said and how much freedom you

154
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: have to kind of freelance in this offense. You know,

155
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelsey have talked about that, and

156
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: and Kelsey seems like he can run whatever the heck

157
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: route he wants to run on any given play, you know,

158
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: I know with Todd's offense, it's obviously different from Gregg's.

159
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: How much of leeway do you have and how key

160
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: do you feel like that's been in kind of recent

161
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: games when it feels like you've done a lot of

162
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: that and it's really worked out well.

163
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a time and place for everything.

164
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: And I think every you know o C I've been

165
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 4: around is you know, you want to be as structured

166
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: as possible, but you also want to be able to

167
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: let your playmakers, you know, be playmakers.

168
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: And yeah, that's.

169
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Something that you know, I've been able to flourish it,

170
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: you know, in and and do is is being able

171
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: to you know, somewhat freelance on routes, but at the

172
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 4: same time as you got to be able to stay

173
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 4: within the play and you know, I'm slowly but surely,

174
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 4: you know. I think as a season goes on, I'm

175
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: going to get better and better at knowing the time

176
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: and place to do it and how to do it

177
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 4: and within this offense, making an r own and making

178
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 4: it my own.

179
00:06:59,279 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 6: It's interesting.

180
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 5: I'm curious what the process was like for you learning

181
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 5: this offense because I go back to this offseason in

182
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: training camp and you were kind of open about like,

183
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: you know, it's going to be a new system. I

184
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: got to find my role in it, and I was

185
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 5: kind of like, is he just slow playing this thing? Like, yeah,

186
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 5: I think the role is going to be pretty darn big,

187
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 5: you know, like in seeing what the last few years

188
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 5: have been like, but like, what has that process been

189
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 5: like for you and for finding your niche and how

190
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 5: it all works together.

191
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: Well, it's been something new, you know. It's it kind

192
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 4: of took me back to my you know, rookie, my

193
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: rookie year, my my second year type of deal where

194
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: you're just absorbing everything. You're trying to understand, you know,

195
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: all the details of each play and how things are called,

196
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: how things are operated, and and you know, it takes

197
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 4: a while. You know, it takes a while to really

198
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: come into your own and be yourself. So, you know,

199
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 4: I think it's been kind of refreshing and being in

200
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 4: the same offense for five years, I really didn't have

201
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 4: much new things, you know, coming in, and that's.

202
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 3: Not a knock or anything, but you know, I now

203
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: have a whole new.

204
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 4: Offense that I'm learning, trying to make my own, and

205
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 4: we're all trying to be you know, cohesive unit and

206
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: working to the same goal. So that's that's been the

207
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 4: fun part. And yeah, I think even to this day,

208
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: we're still growing, but we're finding ourselves.

209
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: There's a lot of talk about Greg's offense was such

210
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: a tight end friendly offense, but it seems like you

211
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: obviously are doing quite well in Todd's offense. How is

212
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: his different from Greg's in how it applies to tight ends.

213
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 3: That's a that's a great question, but it's also a

214
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: tough question.

215
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: I think they both do a do a great job

216
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 4: of using the tight ends and yeah, and scheming them up,

217
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 4: and especially in the run game. You know, I think

218
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 4: coach Monk and coach Giro have you know, similar philosophies

219
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: in that in that way that we have a special quarterback,

220
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 4: we have a special line, we have special running backs,

221
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 4: and we have special tight ends. So that run game

222
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 4: we got to be able to get going. And you

223
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: look at all our guys in the tight end room,

224
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 4: you know, Pat, you know, Charlie z A. You know,

225
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: those guys are having big years. They're they're they're playing

226
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 4: their butts off, they're attacking, they're they're they're doing everything

227
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 4: they're asked to do. So when you have guys like

228
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: that and you have a good online, there's gonna be

229
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: holes to around the ball.

230
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: Now, I know that. You know, we talk about this

231
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: this run you've been on in the stats and and everything,

232
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: but you always go back to the super Bowl. That's

233
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,239
Speaker 1: really the only thing that you're chasing is a championship.

234
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: Do you feel has it been every year that you

235
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: feel that fire kind of burning more and more and

236
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 1: more as you get, you know, more into your career.

237
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: How do you describe that feeling?

238
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's a it's something that's it's incredibly

239
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 4: important to me. And you know, I'm at the point

240
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: where I don't like to put too much you know,

241
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 4: stock or say too much about it, just because you know,

242
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: actions speak louder than words, and what's a bigger action

243
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: than going out and doing it, you know, having a

244
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 4: year where you just put your head down, you work,

245
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: and you know good things come when that happens. So

246
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 4: I think everybody on the team has that mindset. I'm

247
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 4: extremely excited about where we're going and if we can

248
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 4: just stay focused, if we can just be ourselves and

249
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: we have all the tools, is a dangerous team. You know,

250
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 4: from from defense to special teams to offense. There's not

251
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: many teams that have this type of talent and this

252
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 4: type of guys that just you don't want to fight.

253
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 4: So I'm blessed to be to be able to be

254
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 4: a part of this organization and I want to win

255
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 4: one bad.

256
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

257
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: I mean someone else who does is lat More. He's

258
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 5: made that clear literally since the time he was drafted.

259
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 5: And you guys have always had a special connection. I've

260
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: always kind of admired, you know, both on and off

261
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: the field, the connection, the relationship that you guys have.

262
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 6: What do you think, because I think.

263
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 5: He's playing better right now than he did in twenty

264
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 5: nineteen when he was the Unanium's MVP. I mean he

265
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 5: is just playing playing so well. He seems like his

266
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,959
Speaker 5: command of the offense has gone to a new level.

267
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 5: Like he's making throws like we talked about just these

268
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 5: like wow type throws this year. How well do you

269
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 5: think he's playing well?

270
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 4: I think you look at the difference between twenty nineteen

271
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 4: to now, it's just his maturity of the game. You know,

272
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 4: his understanding of the game. You know, is his pocket

273
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 4: just being a full full quarterback and that's saying.

274
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: That he was an MVP.

275
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's pretty darn good. That did.

276
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: I mean just incredible, incredibly good then and but you know,

277
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 4: somewhat raw and just playing football and now it's it's everything.

278
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: You know, he's doing everything the right way, and he's

279
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: you know, commanding the guys. He's he's he's he's just

280
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 4: the best man there's he's one of one.

281
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 3: There's no one like him.

282
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 5: Well, you're in a huddle and you know that you've

283
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 5: got him at your at your side, Like, how does

284
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 5: that affect the entire offense? Like does it have a

285
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 5: feeling of like we're always in a game when we

286
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 5: got Lamar, Like he can always come up with a

287
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 5: magic play at any moment, Like, how does that impact

288
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 5: that the entire offensive group?

289
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think belief is a huge thing in anything

290
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 4: you do. And when you have you know, the best

291
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,439
Speaker 4: of the best, like Lamar, Everybody's belief is sky high.

292
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: You know, we don't think that anybody has the edge

293
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 4: on us. So if you're coming in a game like that,

294
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 4: you're confident and and you believe in yourselves and you

295
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 4: believe in Lamar. Uh, It's it's a good thing.

296
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Now, I said, you know, we weren't going to talk

297
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: about numbers, but let's talk about numbers. So you're one

298
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: touchdown away from tying Todd Heap's franchise record for touchdown receptions.

299
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: Is what does that mean to you? That record?

300
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: You know, it's cool, you know, you know, I think

301
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 4: I'm close to you know, the touchdowns and then yards

302
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 4: is you know, a little bit ways away.

303
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,359
Speaker 3: It's as close.

304
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: Though ish on the horizon, though horizon.

305
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 4: You know, I'm thankful to you know, it's not many

306
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: people that are able to play for for one organization

307
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 4: for for this amount of time, and I'm just trying

308
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 4: to make the most of it. I'm trying to help

309
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 4: this team win. You know, like we've talked about earlier,

310
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 4: and there's a lot of greats that I played here,

311
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: like Todd, like Derrek Mason. Those guys have had you know,

312
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: a hell of the careers and to be able to

313
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 4: achieve that type of modstane would be very cool. And yeah,

314
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,960

315
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,680

324
00:12:58,679 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: good advice.

325
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: Some of this that stands out to me. But you

326
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 5: Mark is you're locked in all the time. Like I

327
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 5: always sometimes say that, especially on game days, Like there's

328
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 5: certain guys that I don't want to step in the

329
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 5: I don't want to get in your past.

330
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: Okay, don't go well, you don't want to. Really.

331
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: Mark's one of those guys where I hold out my

332
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: recorder like this, and I don't but.

333
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 5: Even even on game day, like there's certain guys, so

334
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 5: I just like, you know, you're locked in, Like I

335
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 5: always say, Marshallyana was that way, Like I didn't want

336
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: to be a Marsha's path when.

337
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 6: He was walking out into the field, you know, like

338
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 6: I did not want to be.

339
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 5: And you're you're not to the Marshal level, but you're

340
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 5: close in that regard, okay, and so like, but you

341
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 5: you are locked in at all at all times?

342
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 6: How does that? Like? Why? What? Why is that the

343
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 6: way that you operate?

344
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

345
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 4: I think, like you said, like the way that I operate.

346
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: There's guys that you know are different and how they

347
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 4: approach football and and what they think.

348
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: You know.

349
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: For me, it's this is a serious game. This means

350
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,199
Speaker 4: a lot to me being here playing with these guys,

351
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 4: playing for this organization in this city. So I wear

352
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 4: that and take pride in that. And I know how

353
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 4: being able to represent you know, the Ravens and then

354
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 4: the name on my back and and be able to

355
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: have my brothers back, I take that very seriously. And

356
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: not everybody does it that way. Some people are a

357
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: little bit more loose, But I'm competitive, I'm fiery. I

358
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 4: want to win at all costs. And so you know,

359
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 4: when it becomes game day, really all game week this

360
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: time of year, you got to be focused. And those

361
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: are the guys that I think that that are the best,

362
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: are the focused.

363
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: On I was gonna say it's that just game day,

364
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: It's I feel like it's all season long, Like do

365
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: you put yourself do you kind of flip a switch

366
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: when it's like all right, we're in season though, now

367
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: let's go. You're not gonna see me smile anymore. I'm done.

368
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, I'm a little definitely a little bit more

369
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 4: low key. I'm always you know, somewhat you know, stoic,

370
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 4: you know, even the off season. But you know, this

371
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: is this is this is what I love to do.

372
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: It's my life, and I'm trying to try to do

373
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: something that's remembered for years.

374
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: And without focus and dedication, you can't do that.

375
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm curious, Like some guys have talked about just

376
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: like the whole flipping the switch thing, and like, you know,

377
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 5: I always remember Steve Smith talking about like I would

378
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 5: have to go home and be dad, you know, or

379
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: be your husband or whatever, and then kind of change

380
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 5: and I would have to turn that off and like

381
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 5: talk about guys who played with incredible emotion, you know

382
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 5: on the field. What do you do to like turn

383
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 5: it off when you get home? Like what does postgame

384
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: look like to you?

385
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you know hopefully, you know, I leave

386
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 4: everything out in the field, you know, so there's nothing

387
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 4: that I'm you know, coming back with. But I try

388
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: to just reward, you know, just kind of get some

389
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 4: downtime end and relax and you know, maybe call a

390
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 4: fan or you know, sometimes we'll go back and play

391
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: some video games with some of the Alignment or or.

392
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: Something like that.

393
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 6: That's cool.

394
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: Other guys that are going through the same things that

395
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 4: have been through the you know, the same kind of

396
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: war that you've been through, and talk through it.

397
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 3: And that's about it.

398
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: A video game, what's your what's your game of choice?

399
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 4: Well, the guys have been on Rocket League lately, and

400
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 4: I'm not too good at that one, but I'm more

401
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: of a shooter game they called Duty or.

402
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: Apex Okay okay, And we saw last week. You know,

403
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: the connection that you make with kids, right is pretty

404
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: special and you and you made a special one. Can

405
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: you talk about about that and what that does even

406
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: though you're locked in too season mode, you know, does

407
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: that kind of breakthrough and really touch you, you know.

408
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 4: One hundred percent. You know, that's something that's since an

409
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: early early age. That's it's been important to me to

410
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: get back to the diabetes diabetes community. Yeah, I've always had,

411
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 4: you know, somewhat of a platform since high school, you know,

412
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 4: being you know, having a lot of scholarship offers and

413
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 4: getting these you know, newspeople coming up to me.

414
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: So that's been important and I've tried.

415
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: To take that to each level and to be able

416
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: to have the NFL platform and the Ravens platform and

417
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 4: the way that they allowed me to just be myself

418
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: and show, you know, my story and try to you know,

419
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: help other families, other people that are going through things.

420
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: And then you look at a guy like Isaac that

421
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: was here you know, the other week to make a wish,

422
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: you know, just such a happy kid that's been through

423
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: a lot and he's he's and he's doing and he's

424
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: doing great, he's getting strong, and you know, just things

425
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 4: like that really touchy because I talk about all the time,

426
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 4: life's not fair. But if you can give back, and

427
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 4: you can give somebody hope and try to shed just

428
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 4: a little bit of a light and happiness that makes.

429
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:13,919

460
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: just very locked in. I mean when he's a in

461
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: season mode, like he's serious about his business. And I

462
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: thought it was cool to hear his insight on that.

463
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 6: Yeah.

464
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,000

00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 5: I've honestly wondered, like does it take a.

466
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 6: Toll on you?

467
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 5: Like you just like he's serious all the time and

468
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 5: you're just like, man, it's like, you know, difficult to

469
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 5: imagine like being that locked in at all times. Yeah,

470
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 5: And I thought it was his insight on that I

471
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: thought was good perspective. I mean, he cares and I

472
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 5: think that's like I've I've always kind of felt like

473
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 5: Mark is a guy who's sort of a coach's dream

474
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 5: in a lot of ways, like this is a guy

475
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 5: who it means a lot to him for sure, and

476
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 5: he is gonna he's gonna do all the right things

477
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 5: on and off the field. He's going to give you

478
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 5: everything he's got, and like he's gonna play hard, and

479
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 5: he's he is a he's a tone setter in a

480
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 5: lot of ways.

481
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: And I think it's hard for him to even take

482
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 1: practices off. You know, he's in training camp. He does

483
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: not like sitting out at all, and that's part I

484
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: think the coaches have to be like, Mark, get your

485
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: body right, let your body really get healthy and feel

486
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: strong and all that stuff, like it's okay, man, you

487
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: know what you're doing.

488
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 3: We got it.

489
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: But you know, as he was saying too, he was

490
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 1: learning a new offense, so there was some of that,

491
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: and I think he wanted to be on the field

492
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: and set the tone and be a leader by example

493
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. But I also now think that

494
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: he's healthy. Yeah, right, And that hasn't always been the case,

495
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: certainly down the second half of last season, even times

496
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: earlier in this year.

497
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 6: Well, he missed the first game of the season with

498
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 6: the quad exactly.

499
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: So now he's healthy and I think that's part of

500
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: the reason why we're really seeing him start to take off.

501
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think he's going to continue to put you know,

502
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 5: put some big down version the second half of the season.

503
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

504
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: So big game against the Seattle Seahawks where he's gonna

505
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: break that record, right where he's gonna break that record

506
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: exactly five and two. The Seahawks are coming into M

507
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: and T Banks Stadium. This is a big game, shooting.

508
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 1: The Seahawks are coming off of a comeback win against

509
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the Browns, and they're they're just a good team, right.

510
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: They clearly went out the trade dead deadline, got Leonard

511
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: Williams and they're saying, all right, we're making a play, right,

512
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: We're in it for this year. And this is a

513
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: game I think for the Ravens it's going to be

514
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of a gut check, you know, at home against

515
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,959
Speaker 1: a good team again, Yeah, I mean the Lion's kind

516
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: of you know, a good NFC team.

517
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally.

518
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: I mean this is a challenging game. I think probably

519
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: when the schedule comes out, you know you're doing the

520
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 5: whole thing, you know, win, loss, win, lost, that whole game.

521
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 5: Think a lot of Ravens fans probably be like, all right,

522
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 5: you know, Seattle, that's we're gonna that's a win, and like,

523
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 5: I still feel good about the Ravens Chanceons, but this

524
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 5: is a very difficult game. I mean the Seattle is

525
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 5: you know, they're competing for that. I think people kind

526
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 5: of rode them off in that NFC West conversation. It

527
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 5: was just like, yeah, the four nas are going to

528
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 5: run away with that division. And here we are, you know,

529
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 5: going into this game at Seattle's we're obviously right there

530
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: in the thick of that race. Right, So I think

531
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a challenge. You know, they're an interesting team,

532
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 5: like you go, they've got some dynamic wide receivers, but

533
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 5: like their middle of the road in overall rankings.

534
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, there's sixteenth in offense, yeah, sixteenth in defense.

535
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 2: Yes, middle, that's in the middle.

536
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it is kind of interesting and you

537
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: look at it and you're like, oh, well, Kenneth Walker,

538
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: you know they're running back is having a really good year.

539
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Well they ranked nineteenth and rushing offense, right, and they're

540
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: a team that likes to run the ball. So it's

541
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: it is kind of tough to place your put your

542
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: finger on it. You know, Gino Smith was a comeback

543
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 1: Player of the Year last year. He's off to another

544
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: strong start. They have the wide receivers, like you're mentioning,

545
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: you know, you have DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and now

546
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: the rookie first round pick Jackson Smith and Jigba. Yeah,

547
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a storyline there. I'm just

548
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: going to say that because they went with him. Obviously

549
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens that started the wide receiver run yep, and

550
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens got Za Flowers no, no shade to JSN.

551
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: But I'm happy that we got Za.

552
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 6: Yeah.

553
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 5: It was interesting because I think that those were the guys. Like,

554
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 5: going into that draft, I think most people viewed Jackson

555
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 5: Smith and Jigba as as the number one receiver, that

556
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: he was going to be the first Clay off the board,

557
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: and he was, but he went much later than I

558
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 5: think people expected, and so all of a sudden it

559
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 5: you know, I think, you know, a lot of the

560
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 5: mock drafts, like no one really had the Ravens taking

561
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 5: him because most people thought he would be gone, and

562
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 5: then it started to looked like maybe he's there. Obviously

563
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 5: he went before the run Stars to Ravens get Zay Flowers,

564
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 5: so I feel good about that. But Jackson Smith and

565
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 5: Jig has come on recently.

566
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: Well, he scored the game winning touchdown against the Browns.

567
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's come on. He's had touchdowns the last two games.

568
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 5: I don't think he had a touchdown prior to that.

569
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: So he's heating up a little bite. And so that

570
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 5: that trio of wide receivers is going to be the

571
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 5: best that the Ravens, the Bengals. The Bengals certainly, but

572
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 5: I think that like this is this is up there.

573
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that this in the Bengals. Yeah, I

574
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: mean that Bengals probably stronger. But if you go number three,

575
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: if you're saying JSN versus Tyler Boyd, let's say, you

576
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: know tough, it's a conversation. Yeah, it's a conversation for sure.

577
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: So this might be the best wider. This is definitely

578
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: the best wide receiver trio that they've faced since the

579
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: Bengals game in Week two. So I think it is

580
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: a good matchup for the Ravens cornerbacks. This is kind

581
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: of you know, we've all been talking about Brandon Stevens

582
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: has been playing really well. Marlon Humphrey has been playing

583
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: really well, and then you've had this third kind of

584
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: cornerback rotation. It's been Arthur Malette primarily in recent games,

585
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: Rocky Scene and Ronald Darmy didn't have a defensive snap

586
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: last week. That might change this week going against this

587
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver trio. So's it's gonna be a tough test

588
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: for this Ravens defense and one, as we all know,

589
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to run from it. Well.

590
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 5: I also think it's interesting because like dk Metcalf obviously

591
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 5: is the big you know, he's the big body, wide receiver,

592
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 5: and like that I would think would be I'll just

593
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 5: be curious how the Ravens handle that today. Just play side,

594
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: that would be my expectation. I mean, Brandon Stevens is

595
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: a big guy too, so it's not like you need

596
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 5: to have Marlon who can pretty well match up against

597
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 5: the big receiver. It's not like you need him to

598
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 5: follow k Metcalf. And also, when you got a good trio,

599
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 5: it's more likely that you just play your normal defense.

600
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 5: But I think it is like that third quarnerback spot,

601
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 5: which is your favorite spot in football you love talking about,

602
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 5: Like how do the Ravens handle that. Do they do

603
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 5: they have it just be Arthur Mulett. Do they put

604
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 5: Ronald Darby out there? Do they do they slide Marlin

605
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 5: into the slot at times? Like?

606
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: How do they do they use Kyle Hamilton on DK

607
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: metcalf if if there's an opportunity to match up in

608
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: that way, it'll be interesting how it could. Because he's

609
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: such a unique wide receiver. The matchups there are so interesting.

610
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: And and Lockett such on the other side, shifty, smaller guy,

611
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: really crafty, veteran, savvy Marlon Humphrey I think is said

612
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: previously that he's one of the toughest covers in the league.

613
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has a lot of respect for Tyler Lockett.

614
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: So they're they're a dangerous team, even though you look

615
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: at it on paper and you're like, all right, there's

616
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: sixteenth and total offense, nineteenth in the rushing, fifteenth in passing,

617
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 1: like what is it exactly, But they're eleventh in points,

618
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: so whatever, whatever it is, they're getting the job done

619
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: and they're five and two exactly. Well, you look at

620
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: their defense. You know, Bobby Wagner's back there, one of

621
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: the better inside linebackers in the game.

622
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 2: Trigue Wohlan, who I think.

623
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: Was the defensive rookie of the year last year, among

624
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: the league leaders in interceptions. He just got his first

625
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: pick last week against Cleveland. See hope he doesn't start

626
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: heating up this year. You know, they've they've they've got

627
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: a good defense too. And the Ravens offense is coming

628
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: off a game where they obviously obviously kind of it

629
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: was uneven in Arizona, and I think they'll be looking

630
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: to kind of have obviously a performance more similar to

631
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 1: the Lions game.

632
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Pete Carroll's defenses obviously are well documented.

633
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 5: I mean, they've had a lot of good defenses there

634
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: since he's been a head coach, and so I think that,

635
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 5: like strong defensive play is a core fundamental belief of

636
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: that team.

637
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: Well, they're eighth against the run, twenty second against the pass.

638
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: So is this more of a pass heavy script, even

639
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,159
Speaker 1: though that's what the Ravens went into Arizona with and

640
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: then said all right, let's start running the ball more,

641
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: you know, and did so successfully with Gus Edwards. Is

642
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: this again more pass heavy? It'll be interesting to see.

643
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: Well, I always think it's interesting, like the old adage

644
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: of the NFL's copacat League. So the Arizona Cardinals have

645
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 5: a little bit of success against the Ravens by clouding

646
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 5: the picture in the defensive backfield by dropping a bunch

647
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 5: of guys in coverage, But then the Ravens flipped it

648
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 5: and then they started running the ball downhill and had a

649
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: lot of success doing that. So do teams take a

650
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 5: look at that first half approach and basically say, you

651
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 5: know what, let's drop a bunch of guys into coverage

652
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: and try to make life difficult that way, or do

653
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 5: they just do their own thing? And that was what

654
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 5: the Arizona Cardinals did, and teams aren't going to replicate that.

655
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 5: I don't know that will be something to watch.

656
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I think that this offense, you know,

657
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: they're eager to prove a I think, you know, we

658
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: we were better than what we shared in Arizona.

659
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: We're closer to what we were in Detroit or against Detroit,

660
00:26:59,359 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: I should say.

661
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: And b the Ravens didn't make a move at the

662
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: trade deadline, right, they said, we like our guys and

663
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,719
Speaker 1: they stayed pat You know that I think is for guys.

664
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of talk about running back.

665
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 1: You know, for Gus Edwards, Justice Hill, it is a

666
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: sign of faith that, you know, Keaton Mitchell, even the

667
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: possibility that he gets back, that they believe in those

668
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: guys and that they can kind of carry the loot.

669
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, totally. I mean I think that, like players look

670
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 6: for motivation anywhere, and I think that when there's.

671
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Gus said he did when he was asked about the

672
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: trade line, he was like, I don't know anything about that.

673
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't know how much motivation Gus specifically

674
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: sticking for that.

675
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I also never know how much, like how much

676
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 5: that's uh, you're just saying one thing, but you're aware

677
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 5: of it. But yeah, I think the guys will look

678
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 5: for motivation anywhere, and if they're motivated by the talk

679
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 5: of discussing trades and things like that, I think that

680
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 5: can only help this team.

681
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

682
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 5: So I like this offen. I mean, it is kind

683
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: of I do think it's a bit funny. Like, I know,

684
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 5: the office didn't look great last week, but like, I mean,

685
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 5: they scored four touchdowns.

686
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: Well they've right, over the past three weeks, the Ravens

687
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: have averaged thirty one points per game.

688
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 6: We're like, oh, what's wrong? With the offense again, and

689
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 6: it's like thirty Gus that was like, wait, why are

690
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 6: you saying the office is problem? I scored three touchdowns.

691
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 6: Are you guys talking about over thirty one points? Yeah?

692
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: Now two of those are set up by shorter fields

693
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: by interceptions, but that that happens across the league. You know,

694
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 1: the Ravens aren't the only offense where you get the

695
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: ball back at near midfield or beyond right.

696
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 5: And then three weeks ago we were talking about basically

697
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 5: the issues in the red zone. You need to be

698
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: able to punch it in. Then they punch it in exactly.

699
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: So anyway, like I think this offense actually is on

700
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 5: there is very much on the right track.

701
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: I agree, it's all about trajectory.

702
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and I get I certainly, And I think

703
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: the results speak to this that they're progressively getting better.

704
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's what we all expected with Todd Munkins offense.

705
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: It was gonna take time. It wasn't gonna be an

706
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: overnight you know, sensation rate Gangbusters week one. It takes time,

707
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: you know, especially there's there's a lot of layers to

708
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: his offense, and when you're empowering a quarterback like we

709
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: talked about with Lamar Jackson and you're putting more on

710
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: his plate and he's making more decisions and all that

711
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: stuff like that's new. It takes time for that to

712
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: really kind of sync in. And I think Lamar, what

713
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: we're seeing, to your point earlier, is the command and

714
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: what Mark was saying, right, his command of this offense

715
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: is really growing and you're seeing the full maturation. And

716
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: as we go along this season, I think you're just

717
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna say, see more and more dividends.

718
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought that I was interested to hear his

719
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 6: perspective on that. Like I knew Mark was.

720
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 5: He's a huge fan of Lamar and they're, you know,

721
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 5: great teammates, and so I knew he was gonna give

722
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 5: a nice answer about Lamar.

723
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: But he's always been a Lamar's cheerleader.

724
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 6: Yeah. Sure, But like just.

725
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 5: Hearing him talk about like how Lamar's command, that's what

726
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: I see, like command and poise, and it just seems

727
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 5: like Lamar at the line of scrimmage pre snap and

728
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 5: then even as the play is unfolding, like he just

729
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: seems to have a full mastery of everything that's happening

730
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 5: in front of him. He's going through his reads, he's

731
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 5: delivering the ball with accuracy, and I think that's I

732
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: just that's why I think he's taking his game to

733
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 5: another level this year.

734
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 6: And it sounds like Marx he's at the same way.

735
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree, and Garrett, this is the start

736
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: of a big three game home stand at the Bank.

737
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really fun. It's kind of crazy how

738
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: many games at the Bank.

739
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 5: It's three games in twelve days, yeah, which the Ravens

740
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 5: have never had that. That's the most home games in

741
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 5: that short of a stretch in franchise history.

742
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: Yep.
