Interesting. 201 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 5: I remember back when we talked to you in the summer. 202 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 5: The conversation at that point was like, how are the 203 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 5: Ravens gonna find how's Munky gonna find ways to get 204 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 5: you and Mark on the field together after all that 205 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 5: you did last year and we all want it was 206 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,559 Speaker 5: on a training camp, We're like, man, these two guys 207 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 5: are really difficult to guard. And then to your point, 208 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 5: like early in the season, it's kind of a feeling 209 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: out period, I think, and Mark was coming back and 210 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 5: getting healthy, and there's like this process of getting everybody, 211 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 5: I guess fully up to speed. Was there a point 212 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 5: where you felt like the two tight end, the two 213 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 5: headed monster, whatever adjective you want to use for it, Like, 214 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 5: was there a point where it felt like that kind 215 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 5: of clicked for you in this offense? 216 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 3: H for sure, And I felt like even to this day, 217 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like it's still growing, but I 218 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: feel like me and him now are at like a 219 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 3: good chemistry where it's like, I know exactly what Mark's 220 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: probably most likely going to do eighty five to eighty 221 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: nine percent of the time in the game when he 222 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: has a route, and that's just you know, film study, 223 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: you know, always talking to him, always been turning. I'm 224 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 3: always you know, trying to be a competitor with him, 225 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: and then really just you know, just seeing how he 226 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: sees it on the field that practice, I mean, just 227 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: if you watch market practice, no rep he takes for granted, 228 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 3: so like always after every route, after every block he 229 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 3: has them allway asking him like why'd you do it 230 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 3: like that? 231 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: Why'd you run a route like that? 232 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 3: Or if he has you know, a mismatch or a linebacker, 233 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 3: a linebacker safety, or if he runs it differently on 234 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: a corner. 235 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 4: Just stuff like that. Now I feel like zimper. 236 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: Along those lines. Something that Marcus talked about mars talked 237 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,839 Speaker 5: about it with their connection is him having like freelance ability, 238 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 5: And I'm curious, like how does that? And maybe that's 239 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,599 Speaker 5: part of getting a feel for how he's going to 240 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 5: play the game, because it's like, I know he's I 241 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 5: know what he's gonna do eighty five, So how do 242 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 5: you how does that affect things? And like do you 243 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 5: have freelance ability? 244 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 4: How is that? 245 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 5: Does that something that's reserved for him? 246 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: How does that go? 247 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 4: I mean that's just their connection, man. 248 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 3: I mean Mark, Mark makes plays when the plays aren't 249 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: there to be made. 250 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: I mean I always watch Mark. 251 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 3: You know, sometimes you'll see it, and I just I 252 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: explain it as keeping the defense, honest. That's how I 253 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: try to, you know, say what Mark does out there, 254 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: because I mean, he's he needs no introduction of who 255 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 3: he is and what he does. And I feel like, 256 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 3: you know, he's been able to have those freelance moments 257 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 3: just of what he's done prior. And I feel like 258 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 3: just the connection that he sees, I feel like he 259 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 3: just sees the same eyes of the defense, same as 260 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: L because sometimes when he friendliness, L's already thrown the ball, like. 261 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 4: He's already ball there. 262 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 3: So I feel like that's just you know, one of 263 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 3: those connections where it's you know, those things aren't taught, 264 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: and that's just one thing that he does special. 265 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: I'm curious for your for your perspective on this. You know, 266 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: earlier in the year when Mark kind of had a 267 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: slower start as he was getting healthy. 268 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 2: As Garrett said, there is. 269 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: Some fan talk out there, and I think fans were 270 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: excited about what you were doing in training camp. 271 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 2: You know, they were like, you know, can we trade 272 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: Mark Andrews? We got to say, like this, what do 273 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: you say to that? 274 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 4: Man? 275 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: I feel like I wasn't even getting into that because 276 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 3: I mean, Mark's been the big brother, you know, every 277 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 3: rookie once when you come into the league. So I 278 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: was like, I don't entertain foolishness like that because I 279 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: feel like there's no Ravens offense for real without Mark, 280 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 3: and that's because of, you know, the respect that a 281 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: defense has to give him when he's on the field. 282 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: I mean every game where everybody's supposedly you know, had 283 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: a great game got off how everybody wants to see it. 284 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 3: Mark's been on that field, Mark's been taking three two 285 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: defender's eyes where it's you're gonna respect eighty nine. So 286 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 3: whether you know he got off to a slow start, 287 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 3: you know from you know, everything he's been dealing with from. 288 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: Last year to this year.

So 292 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: I feel like that's just you know, a great thing 293 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 3: going into this postseason where it's now it's on. 294 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Awesome? 481 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 1: Well I can't wait for the next Lamar Jackson to 482 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: Isaiah Likely touchdown highlight, you know what's coming, that's right, 483 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: that's right, and the blocks the handoff. 484 00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: All right, man, thanks for joining. 485 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 5: Appreciate it.

So enjoyed sitting down 490 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 5: and talking with Isaiah Likely. He's a great interview. He's 491 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 5: a good perspective and a lot of energy and so 492 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 5: I always enjoy talking with him and he's been fun 493 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 5: to watch this year and I think that you're seeing 494 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 5: it was interesting to me hearing him talk about how 495 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 5: it took a little bit of time for him and 496 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 5: Mark to kind of figure out the two tight end 497 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 5: dynamic there and that's not something that like we spent 498 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 5: much time talking about, like the figuring out piece of it. Yeah, 499 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 5: but there is a process that goes along with that 500 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 5: and we're seeing it. Really I think taking off here 501 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 5: at the right time and Isaiah himself, this is the 502 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 5: best statistical season of his career from yards, catches, touchdowns. 503 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 5: So even though Mark is back, Isaiah likely still has 504 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 5: the best individual season of his career. And these two 505 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 5: guys are going to be real weapons for this team 506 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 5: starting on Saturday, going to the playoffs. 507 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 1: Well, especially if Zay Flowers this sideline, then I think 508 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: it would not surprise anybody if the Ravens lean more 509 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: on their tight ends in the receiving game at least, 510 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: you know, I think they're gonna, to Isaiah's point, they're 511 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: going to look to establish the run and against the 512 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: physical Steelers team, that's a tough challenge, but you have 513 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: to in the playoffs, especially with the weather that's in 514 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: the forecasted, they're going to want to run the ball effectively. 515 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: But I also think that both these tight ends, like 516 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: you're saying, are playing at a high level and they 517 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: could be a big part of the passing attack. 518 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, and if if Zip Flowers is limited at all 519 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 5: or not able to play, then to your point, like 520 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 5: I think that what does this passing attack look like? 521 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 5: I think Rashad Bateman steps in as the is the 522 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 5: number one wide receiver of course in that situation, but 523 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 5: then you're looking at Tyler Wallas and Nelson Aguilar, Devontes 524 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 5: Walkers the other receivers, of course, but I think in 525 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 5: my mind, and I'm guessing you agree, but you tell me, like, 526 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 5: I think it's probably more on Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. 527 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: Like that's well, I think I think and Likely, But yeah, 528 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 1: I think they could lean more on the tight ends. 529 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 5: Yes, I think Bateman for sure, but I think that 530 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 5: when you're starting to look at like the second third targets, 531 00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 5: I think it's probably the tight ends. 532 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: I mean, big z here is is like you said, 533 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: he's chess piece, right, That's what he calls himself. He 534 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: is kind of like a wide receiver, yeah, and can be. 535 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: He and Mark can flex out and play all over 536 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: the place. So the Ravens can mix and match to 537 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: give to give opponents fits. And we've talked about it 538 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: all season long. It's a pick your poison offense. Everybody's 539 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: you know, use those words. The Ravens still have lots 540 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: of poison on the shelf, and Isaiah Likely is certainly 541 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 1: one of the more dangerous vials. 542 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 5: I like that you're able to carry that all the way. 543 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:31,479 Speaker 4: There you go. 544 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's a joy talking with him, and again 545 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: he's gonna be whether he's a Flowers on the field 546 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 5: or not, Isaiah likely is going to be an important 547 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 5: piece and one of the things I love about him 548 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 5: and a number of guys on this offense, but Isaiah 549 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 5: Likely is one of those guys who it can go 550 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 5: three quarters that he's not really involved, but then he 551 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 5: comes up with the big play. 552 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: Yeah. 553 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: And he's made of so many great catches, acrobatic, highlight. 554 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 5: Exactly like he can be quiet, quite quiet, quiet boom 555 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 5: and then here's the here's the highlight reel play and 556 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 5: that speaks to his ability. But also I think staying 557 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 5: in the game and like always looking for that chance 558 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 5: and developing that chemistry. I think all those factors have 559 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 5: led to the type of season that he's had. 560 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 4: Yep. 561 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 5: Absolutely, So we're going to talk more about this game 562 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 5: coming up at against the Steelers again. That is Saturday night, 563 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 5: eight pm at M ANDT Bay Stadium, So it's going 564 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,639 Speaker 5: to be an awesome, awesome atmosphere for that one.
