Speaker 1: Uh So before we do that, we have the pleasure

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: of talking to Kevin Zeitler, the Ravens right guard. I'm

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,240

Speaker 1: Kevin's a I tell you man, he is a become

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: like one of the offensive leaders, you know, I mean

12
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: not just one of the best players, but when you

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: look at tone setters and all that stuff, Kevin's one

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 1: of those guys. Yeah, lunch pale guy, always there every practice,

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 1: every game, plays high quality football. Has fit in since

16
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the day he got here. To me, he's type of

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: guy teammates respect, coaches can depend on. So yeah, I

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: mean after mar to Janda, He's he's certainly picked up

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,839
Speaker 1: the baton and really solidified that right guardspot. Talking about

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: a great signing, I mean the Zeitler signing last offseason

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: is one of the Ravens better signings free ancient editions

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,839
Speaker 1: in recent memory. I mean, just been a perfect fit,

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: no question. Kind of flew onto the radar, I think

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: with all the injuries, but I think this year, you know,

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: hopefully the offensive line will be healthy, has great potential

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a big part of that. Yeah.

27
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,880

66
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: awards this year because I noticed after every practice, it

67
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: seemed like almost every practice your daughter would come out

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: on the field and it would be a hot day.

69
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: You just went through a long practice and you'd be

70
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: kicking that ball, that little ball, and g be chasing

71
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: that ball around. You just going after some Bravo, sir,

72
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: I gave you problems every day watching from Afar, Thank you.

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I just attributed it to extra conditioning. How old does

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: she she was She's like wearing these pink dresses. It

75
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: was like the cutest thing. How old does she? She

76
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: turns for September one, so she's just active, lots to

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: get out of the house, and you know, since she

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: seems me, it's time to play. So yeah, exact little

79
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: soccer player. I feel like you're gonna, you know, get

80
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: her toss in that football pretty soon or what. Yeah,

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: whatever she wants. She likes basketball, like shooting on those

82
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: little hoops and soccers or obsession at the moment, but

83
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what she gets into. Nice. Nice. One of

84
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: my other favorite things from training camp was a tweet

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: that your wife put out, which was a picture of

86
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: her after practice when you gave her a hug and

87
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: it was this like massive sweatprint on her dress. That

88
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: was so funny. So the whole Zeittler family really worked

89
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: for it this camp. Yeah, definitely. Um, I'm glad they

90
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: were able to come out. But obviously after long days

91
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: in the sun, you know, sometimes that's just what happens.

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: How cool is it? Like the family atmosphere that John

93
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Harball kind of incorporates in the training camp, Um, it's nice.

94
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: You know, camp's a long, tough process, a lot of

95
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: days and out a lot of hours, and you know,

96
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: just to be able to see your fam for like,

97
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you know that twenty minutes during the day, you know,

98
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: it makes you remember your why have some fun, you know,

99
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: take your mind off for a couple of minutes, and

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: then you know, fresh as you have to get back

101
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, now, you were here all last year,

102
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: your a VET, but yet you were here like all

103
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: ot age. You were here all seem like every practice

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: like you did you take any VET days off? And

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: clearly practice is important to you. Why is that so important? Um?

106
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean practice the one time you can actually do football.

107
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: Like you can try to watch it on film, you

108
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: can try to walk through things, but the only way

109
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,359
Speaker 1: to get better football is to actually do football. So

110
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, in my mind, you know, it's just part

111
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: of the thing. Like I like to practice. I like

112
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: to get out there and move around. I'd much rather

113
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: do that than sit around the meetings all day. So

114
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: for me, it's just part of who I am. And

115
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, if I ever need a VET day, they'd

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: probably give it to me. But I don't think I

117
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: need him yet. So yeah, did did you take a

118
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: single one? I think I had one well, And and

119
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: did you say, like, did they have to force you

120
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: into that? I think they just put me in it

121
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: and they didn't give me a choice. Now, I just

122
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: started camp. You said that. Let me get this right,

123
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: you just do it training camp. You just do it.

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Before you know it, it's over. And that you also

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: said something something like that to your teammates. That kind

126
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: of reminds me of Marshall yonda guy who kind of

127
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: just embraced the grind. Is that kind of your mentality too?

128
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: And have you seen guy's taking that approach doing training camp? Yeah? Absolutely,

129
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's exactly what I said. You know, it sucks,

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: it looks daunting, but I mean Prev and Sake were

131
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: almost to the third preseason game already, Like do you

132
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: remember like all the stuff you know you've gone through. No,

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: I mean I feels like we just started. Everyone says that,

134
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, we're almost done and we'll

135
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: be onto the season before we know it. And you know,

136
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: embracing the grind every day it's so good for your

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: mental conditioning, physical conditioning, and just like I said, getting

138
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: better at football. You know, it all adds up to

139
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: help you play your best, you know, when the schedule

140
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: gets cut down and you have to focus on an

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: actual opponent. Right. Well, have you heard a lot of

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: stories about martialleand obviously didn't play with them, but do

143
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: you still hear stories about him? And what was it

144
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: like kind of stepping into that role? You know, there's

145
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: a one year gap between you and him, and they

146
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: were like, you know what, we need to fill this

147
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: gap with a very good veteran. Uh, you know what,

148
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: what has that been like? It's been good. You know.

149
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Obviously he held that right guard spot down for all

150
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: those years and obviously he left quite a legacy. Um,

151
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: when they try to recruit me here, he actually reached

152
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: out to me, and you know, he told me they

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: treat a lineman good here. And you know, obviously I

154
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: don't know, we know a linement. They wouldn't be messed

155
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: around with something like that. You know, they know if

156
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: you're treated well or not. And you know, honestly, he

157
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: told the truth. I've loved it here. They treat me

158
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: well and I love trying to, you know, help however

159
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: I can. Right after your first you're here, do you

160
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: feel yourself in more of a you know, leadership position

161
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, especially with Ronnie missing last year.

162
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: Now Bradley's in Carolina? You know, do you look at

163
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: yourself like, you know, even though you're just in your

164
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: second year here, like as kind of the leader on

165
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the O line. Um, so I feel like, you know,

166
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: as the vet I have to be you know, it's

167
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: not even a choice at this point. I gotta make

168
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: sure the young guys are on it. I can if

169
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: I know any little tips or tricks that I've learned

170
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: throughout you know, the various teams and years that I've played, like,

171
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, I've got to make sure they get it

172
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: and we can figure it out however it is. And

173
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: uh yeah, honestly, just looking at the room, Yeah, probably

174
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: the de factive leader right there. Yeah, you were second

175
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: highest great offensive line and quartered at pff UM second

176
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: grade is highest great at offensive player. Okay, only it

177
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: was Mark Andrews and then Kevin Do you You said

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: that as if you weren't aware of that? Is that true? Yeah?

179
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: I mean I just kind of go about my day.

180
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: You know, whatever has written is in you know, you'll

181
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: find out out later such as right now, like the

182
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: key is, like it doesn't matter, like we have to

183
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: keep going. We have to be in this building. We

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 1: have to keep working, trying to play better, get better.

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: So you know, whatever's right out there, I'm sure, like

186
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: my wife or something, we'll find no, but in the end,

187
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: you know, whatever has been done has been done. We

188
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 1: gotta keep moving forward because it never ends. Yeah, I

189
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: feel like offensive linemen aren't like the first ones to

190
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: run to PFF to check what their grade was. I

191
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: don't know, that's just my gut, it's true. Ueah. Like

192
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: I said, it's like, no matter how you play, it's

193
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter that I I can't just pass. You

194
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: have another one coming up. It never ends, so right,

195
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: go ahead. Your MS kind of as a as a

196
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: pass block or run blocker can do both. How do

197
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: you think you've improved though as a as a pass blocker? Um,

198
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: just you know, working hard every day at it. Yeah,

199
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: go ahead. Yeah. I was just gonna say, like, what

200
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: what's your mentality? You know, a lot of offensive lineman

201
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: obviously it's like run blocking is is the cream of

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: the crop. You know, that's what you want to be doing.

203
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: What's your mentality? Run verse, pass, I mean, it's whatever

204
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: we need to do. You know, some games you can

205
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: actually run the ball and that's great and that's fun

206
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: and amazing. But other games, you know, it doesn't go

207
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: your way and you're gonna be passing the time, so

208
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what's called. You know, you always

209
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: prefer to run, but you know, when it comes down,

210
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: you gotta get it done. You gotta find a way

211
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: to win, no matter how pretty or ugly it is.

212
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: You gotta get that victory. Now. Obviously, the front office

213
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: put a lot of resources into the offensive line upgrading

214
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: it this allseason. You know. I mean you trade your

215
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: top wide receiver and then use at the draft of center.

216
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: That's that's a statement. You know, you just signed working

217
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: this this is one of your big freeages. That that's

218
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: a statement, right, Like, how much does this offensive line

219
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: kind of looking at itself and talking in the room

220
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: to say, hey, man, like we if we give Lamar time,

221
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: if we allow Lamar to be Lamar and get that

222
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: running game going, like it's kind of on our shoulders

223
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: to really kind of start that and get this offense

224
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: really humming. You know, yeah, absolutely, I mean they did

225
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: a great job. We got a great group of guys

226
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: right now, all very big, very talented, a lot of

227
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: different skill sets, and you know, as we've been working

228
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: through camp or just you know, still trying to figure

229
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: each other out, trying to like play off each other

230
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and find those little nuances. And you know, the only

231
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: thing that matters is that we do give lam Our time,

232
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: whether in run game, pass game, doesn't matter. We need

233
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: him to be able to operate and that's on us

234
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: right now. You only, according to PFF once again, you

235
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: gave up one sack last year and that was the

236
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: only quarterback hit you gave up, right, which is pretty incredible.

237
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: But he he got sacked thirty eight times, which was

238
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: a career high for him, you know, in only twelve

239
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: games for for past protection wise, are you guys kind

240
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: of saying like that is that is a huge priority.

241
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: We have to keep Lamar on his feet And how

242
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: much pride do you take in that aspect of protecting Lamar?

243
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the only reason you're here. You have

244
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: to protect him. So right now we gotta obviously improve

245
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: on that, like give him time. He's going to do

246
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: incredible things, but if he's scrambling around, doesn't have a

247
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: chance to happen. So right, it's houndest to get it done,

248
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: right you guys. Greg Roman's offense is known to be,

249
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, a running kind of an offensive lineman's dream,

250
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: the way they attack. You've been in some other systems,

251
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: how have you enjoyed playing in this system? And I

252
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: guess how how is it fun for an offensive lineman

253
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: to be in this type of attack. Oh, it's fantastic. Um,

254
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: just so many different options, motions, looks. You know, everyone

255
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: you know trying to keep the defense on their toes,

256
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 1: never knowing exactly what's going to happen. It's a lot

257
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: of fun for a line allows you to come off

258
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: the ball a little harder than you can on some

259
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: other places, and you know, you know it works pretty well. Now.

260
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: Last year, I mean, despite losing all of our running backs,

261
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: you know, not having Ronnie out there, like, still finished

262
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: third in rushing yards per game last year. With those

263
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: guys back coming back this year, just how do you

264
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: feel about how good this rushing attack can be? Uh?

265
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 1: It can be great. You know, we have so many

266
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: pieces coming back. It's excited and honestly, it all starts

267
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: up front. If we can get our blocks down and

268
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: give everyone a chance, you know, maybe we can take

269
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: you to the next level and go be even better? Right?

270
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Does does? Uh? Is there any talk? I mean, obviously

271
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: set the record, right, I mean most rushing yards ever

272
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: in a single season like that obviously is an extremely

273
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: high bar, historic bar. But is that something that you

274
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: guys look at and they're like, you know what, Like

275
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: we want to be tops in the league again running

276
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: the ball and be that team that people are like, damn,

277
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: like we we just can't stop these guys on the ground.

278
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I think I mean, that's just the

279
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: expectation here now. You know, the way the offense has

280
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: gone ever since, you know, Lamar took over, It's like,

281
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: you know, every team every year has the ability to

282
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: do that or set the new record. So I think

283
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 1: it's on us every year to try to reach that

284
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: goal or get as close as humanly possible to it. Right, No, No,

285
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Tyler Linna bomb. You know, it's just coming back from injury.

286
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: But obviously he's brought in here high expectation. Is going

287
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: to be playing next to you. I know earlier in

288
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: camp you said you think he has he's going development

289
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: to be one of the best in the business at

290
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: his position. What have you already seen from him that

291
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: gives you that impression? Um, you know some of those

292
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: like you know, uncoachable traits, his balance, his ability to

293
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: run his feet, and you know, little things that just

294
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: can't be coached. You know, some guys have that, other

295
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: guys don't have that. They're better at other things. But

296
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, he has some natural ability, so if you

297
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: can develop it on top of the rest of the

298
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: things like watch out now people talk about to the

299
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: center being kind of the the captain or the leader

300
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: of the offensive line. Um, how do you feel like,

301
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: you know, having a rookie there, do you feel like

302
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: I'll have to help him maybe a little bit more?

303
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: Do you already seeing like, hey, he seems like he's

304
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: gonna do this just fun? Yeah, he's already. You know,

305
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: he's a quick learner. He's picking things up fast. But

306
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, just like anyone, there's some crazy things that

307
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: happened out there, so the whole lines, you know, talking

308
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: and screaming it through and making sure we get a

309
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: call out there, and you know, there's not too much

310
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: that surprised him so far. So yes, he keeps learning.

311
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be good really quick. What is that? Like,

312
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, you know, and you're in a let's say, arrowhead,

313
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 1: you're in alloud whatever the you know, the jungle right,

314
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: and it is it is loud? Right? What is that?

315
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: I feel like for an offensive lineman. I mean it's

316
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: pretty annoying, but I mean it is what it is.

317
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: You know, all you know games are raucous and wild

318
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: and loud, and you know, you know it's kind of

319
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: on you. How can you quiet your own mind? You know?

320
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: Can the line? You know, play with the cool head?

321
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: You know when you can here? How do you communicate?

322
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: And that's what you know, getting as much practice as

323
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: we possibly can't addit? You know it does? Do you

324
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 1: do you kind of like lose your mind a little

325
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: bit in in that? Like are you just so locked

326
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: in that you can't even feel anything like you're in

327
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: just in a in a tunnel in a zone or

328
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: do you have to take feel everything coming in and

329
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: just be that dialed in you know what I mean? Yeah?

330
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: I think um, you know, you get into a zone,

331
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: like you know, you block out everything that's happened around you.

332
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: Just got to focus on what you're doing and what's

333
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: happening across from you. It's the only way to do

334
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: it because like if you take everything and you'd be

335
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: over stimulated way too quick. Do offensive lineman feel injuries

336
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: during a game if it's not like I mean obviously

337
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: an A C L or something or whatever. I mean,

338
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure you do. But adrenaline is a heck of

339
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: a drug. So you know you do. You can get

340
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: through almost anything and then you'll feel it afterwards. Interesting. Yeah, Okay,

341
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I just went off on a tangent. I just like

342
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: kind of want to put myself inside offensive lineman's body

343
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: because you can tell I will never feel what that

344
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: feels like. But I do want to get back to

345
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: linder Bomb a little bit and like what he will

346
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: allow this offense to do and this rushing attack, Like

347
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: does he open up more because of his mobility more

348
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: second level? You know you can do a lot more things,

349
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: do you think? Um? I think? You know. It gives

350
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: us opportunity, like a natural runner, natural ability. It's gonna

351
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: be fun to see what you can do out there,

352
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: you know when we get to the real games and

353
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: you know, hey, options are always good. Yeah, obviously everybody

354
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: knows that for this offensive line in the offense to

355
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: really thrive and take that next step, we need Ronnie

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: back on the field, you know what I mean? Like

357
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: he is a important cog right, Like, is there any

358
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: part of you that's like, man, when I need this

359
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: guy to get back out of the practice field, do

360
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: you say anything to him, like come on, man, like

361
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,440
Speaker 1: we need you out there. You know what I mean,

362
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, I think we all want Ronnie back,

363
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: but I ain't rushing him. After what happened last year,

364
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: there's no reason to rush him. I know he wants

365
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: to be back out here. So whenever he's ready, he's ready,

366
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll have the guys in the room.

367
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: We'll do what we need to do, no matter how

368
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: long it takes. Yeah, what's it been like playing next

369
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: to Morgan Moses? You know, I mean obviously a vett

370
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,479
Speaker 1: who like you, just doesn't miss games, right, And and

371
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: last year you had kind of a revolving door a

372
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, you started out with big al

373
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: it was the training camp guy. He thought he was

374
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna be the right tackle, and then uh, you know,

375
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: Ronnie goes down a week one, and then you get

376
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Patrick McCarey's over there, and then he got hurt, and

377
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: Tyree Philips steps in and right, I know, is there

378
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: anybody else that visit I think a sharp play. Yeah, yeah,

379
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's a big revolving tour. Obviously it's more

380
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: ideal to have health, but football is a wild, crazy

381
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: game and you never know what could happen, right, So

382
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: you know, I think kudos more to our team for

383
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: having guys who are able to step in, you know,

384
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: in those situations and play relatively well. You know, we're

385
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: able to get things done, still run the ball and

386
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: all that. But obviously Morgan being here, you know, another vet,

387
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: great player, heck of a you know coaching line, you

388
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: know with Callahana Washington and all that. So you know,

389
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: obviously we're two big guys and we're figuring each other out,

390
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: and we're working hard, and you know, I think we

391
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: can do some good things. Does that chemistry really help

392
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: to have a guy I mean, obviously we're not in

393
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: the season, but like if he stays in the field

394
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: for all seventeen and year there, Like how much does

395
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: that chemistry with your right tackle and really on the

396
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: offensive line really make a big difference. I don't know

397
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: that fans really understand that. Um, I mean, it would

398
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: be huge if we can all stay on the field. Like,

399
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's just so many little nuances, you know,

400
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: like you almost say you read each other's minds at points,

401
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: like in the game, But you know, it is what

402
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: it is. Whatever happens happens, and we'll get after it

403
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: and get the job done. Right now, Kevin you have

404
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: a real solid reputation as an offensive line in this league.

405
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: You know, guys respect you have not been to the

406
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, which kind of surprised me when I read that.

407
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? And is that a goal?

408
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you really can't control other than to play

409
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: as well as you can. But I would just think

410
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: that one of your stature, you know, feels that they

411
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: should have been there. Um, I've stopped caring about that

412
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: a long time ago. There was years back, back early

413
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: in the career where I thought, you know, I was

414
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna make it and you know, it just didn't happen

415
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: to other people for whatever reason got in and kudos

416
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: to them, and ever since then, I was just like,

417
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't care. It doesn't matter. You know.

418
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: The only thing I owe is like my best effort

419
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: to my teammates on the team. I'm on and I'm

420
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: going to play best I can, And you know that's

421
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: all I care about. Interesting, coach Coach Aball he told

422
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier this thing, but the Bengals earlier cared ride

423
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: you at center? Um, did do you remember that how

424
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: to go? Was it like hey I might like this

425
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: or hey, I'm a guard. I'm a guard and relatively

426
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: quick way back when. So yeah, I'm a guard. That

427
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: last do you remember anything about it? About three weeks?

428
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: But three weeks? Okay? Interesting? Does that? Does that give

429
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: you even more respect for a guy like McCarry who

430
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: like has to know five positions on the offensive line.

431
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Pat McCarry is a true unicorn and anyone, I don't

432
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,120
Speaker 1: think anyone understands how lucky we are to have him

433
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: on this team and how good he is at each position. Right,

434
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: it's a pretty unique, pretty wild and uh, you don't

435
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: often see a guy who could probably step in on

436
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: any other team and be a starter at any position

437
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: on the line, Right, it's wild. People. I don't think

438
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: people like celebrate him enough or understand how lucky we

439
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,479
Speaker 1: are to have him. Interesting, And I guess lastly, just

440
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: wrapping it up like this offensive lineman, I mean, on paper,

441
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: it looks amazing, Like just how excited are you guys

442
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: about this offense this season and what the offensive line

443
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: can accomplish? I mean it's exciting, you know a lot

444
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: of potential, but papers paper. Until we actually get it

445
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: done on the field, you know, it doesn't matter. I've

446
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: been on plenty of teams where on paper we should

447
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 1: be the best in the league, and well that our

448
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: team was terrible anything about. So you know, it doesn't

449
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: matter on paper. We gotta go out there and get

450
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: it done and you know, make sure this team get

451
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: reaches the expectation that matters. We didn't mind when that

452
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: happened when you were with Cincinnati and Cleveland. It was

453
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: okay when you guys didn't live up to your potential then.

454
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: But you like AFC North football. What is it about

455
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: the f C North? I mean the Giants that was

456
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: like a shorter stay for you. You've been an FC North,

457
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 1: you're almost in your entire career. Yeah, I don't know.

458
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: Just apparently the teams like me here so awesome. Well,

459
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 1: we really like you and looking forward to great stuff

460
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: this season. Alright, cool? Thanks, Well, great stuff from Kevin.

461
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: Just no nonsense dude. I'm on all nonsense dude. Kevin's

462
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: a no nonsense dude. But that makes him a very

463
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: good offensive lineman. It would make me a trash offensive lineman. Well,

464
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna dog you, Ryan, but

465
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: certainly uh yeah, Kevin, as we mentioned before, he's kind

466
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: of a glue guy to that to that line, and

467
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 1: I get the sense with him and really so many

468
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: players you talked to this year, they have an edge

469
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: after what happened last year. I mean, Kevin was around

470
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: and you know, playing every game, but yet seeing guys

471
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: go down all over the place and them not making

472
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs after being eight and three. I think he

473
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 1: when he starts talking about this year, that edge comes

474
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: through that this year is going to be different. I

475
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: think that offensive line is looking forward to kicking some button. Yeah,

476
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, we'll see what. I also like that

477
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: he said about Patrick McCarry. I thought that was pretty interesting, excellent,

478
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I mean ye, just that it's taken

479
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: for granted to you can play all five all as

480
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: a line of positions, something that few guys can do.

481
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 1: It shows you the respect that his teammates have for him,

482
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: right the Ravens have. He called him a unicorn and

483
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: pat Rickard to talk about two unicorns in the NFL

484
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: like two of the biggest Uh, it's kind of crazy.

485
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: So we wouldn't remind listeners that the sports landscape is

486
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,880

Speaker 1: I just don't take you as you know. But maybe

500
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I think you are in a fantasy football league,

501
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: though I am with some like long time NFL scribes.

502
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Right is correct? Have you ever won that fantasy league? No?

503
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: I finished second second twice with the Bride May Tough. Sorry,

504
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: sorry for the year. This is the years out there

505
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: were girls right size them up? Are you calling for

506
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: a size him up? Here? Y fantasy? And I was

507
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: gonna say, yeah, you got we gotta get you a ring, Cliff.

508
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: But That's what I'm fighting for this year is to

509
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: get you a ring cliff because you didn't get one

510
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: for the first year, Pols. The love was not here yet.

511
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: Hum here. Now we gotta get you a ring baby ready?

512
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, toe ring too. Those are good that anyway,

513
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,120
Speaker 1: we're getting ready to As I mentioned the fifty three

514
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: man roster predictions, we're not gonna go into our full

515
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: breakdown right now. We're gonna have to get into that

516
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: after the final priests. In the game, you never know

517
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: what can happen. But are there any position groups as

518
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: you're starting to assemble this cliff that you're looking at,

519
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: are the toughest costs? Well, I mean why receiver is

520
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna be curious? Uh, running back, and then secondary particularly corners.

521
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: I think those are three, but there'll be other areas too.

522
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the Ravens have a talented roster, which is

523
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: what you want, but then of course when you get

524
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: down to those last few decisions, it gets very, very

525
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 1: tough because of that talent um. So it is going

526
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: to be interesting, and to me, there's always at least

527
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: one surprise um, something that somebody thought was definitely gonna

528
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: make it, who did not, or vice versa. So yeah,

529
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll have fun talking about it um, But

530
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: for the players it's a really you know, it's an

531
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 1: one edge time and the final preseason game is hugely

532
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 1: important obviously for guys who are on the so called

533
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: bubble to really put something forward in that last game. Yeah,

534
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: I think there's usually I feel like going into the

535
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: third preseason game, there's maybe like one or two spots

536
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 1: up for grabs, like legitimately so right, And sometimes a

537
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: guy can can have a big fourth preseason game because

538
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: they play, or a third preseason game I should say,

539
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: because they play so much, and it can be like

540
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: the final thing that pushes him over the edge. They've

541
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 1: obviously had to do a lot to get to this point.

542
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: Like you can't have a bad training camp and then

543
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: win a job in the third preseason. It's done work

544
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: like that. But if you're like on the cusp and

545
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: then you go out there and Paul, especially a rookie

546
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: and undrafted player whatever, like you know, first year player,

547
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: you can win a job. And so one I'll point

548
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 1: to one other position in addition to the list that

549
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: you gave, and I think outside linebacker is interesting to me,

550
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: especially after the injury. Gosh, what was the guy's name? Goodness,

551
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: gracious Achilles, Vince Biagel bag Bagel like that left the

552
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 1: spot open. I think if Beagle was still on this roster,

553
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: it would be kind of settled. But now they really

554
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: because of ti Us. He's not back on the field yet.

555
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: We don't know exactly you know for sure that he'll

556
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: be ready week one. There's really a week side kind

557
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: of linebacker position open there. Dalen Hayes is the guy

558
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: at the top of the depth chart behind Thias. But

559
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: who's behind him? You know, Jeremiah Moon is an undrafted rookie.

560
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 1: Stephen Means is another, you know, veteran outside nowaker. He's

561
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: played pretty well, but he's more of a rush linebacker,

562
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: And so does Means make the team that? You know,

563
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: do they go light if they're confident that Tias is

564
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: gonna be ready week one? Do they go light at

565
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: that position? Do they go elsewhere to try to add

566
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: an outside linebacker who can play week side? Uh? Immediately

567
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,719
Speaker 1: that I think those are all interesting questions. I'm not

568
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,879
Speaker 1: sure how that position is going to settle out. But sorry,

569
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: you said you look like you'd love to be a

570
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: fly on the wall to hear these conversations. Is and

571
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: it's much like the draft. There'll be certain players, certain

572
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: people you know, campaigning for certain guys for different reasons,

573
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: and finally, obviously they come to a collaborative decision. But

574
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: again it's a close call with a lot of these players.

575
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: Um and the wide receiver. Yeah sorry, go ahead. Yeah,

576
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: even they want even if they don't get a job here,

577
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: it was important to them to see some of these

578
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: guys immediately end up somewhere else. Oh for sure. I

579
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: mean Jalen Moore already did claimed off waivers by the Giants.

580
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 1: I believe, yes, so uh yeah, guys will be bounced around.

581
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: Is a crazy time year will be interesting to your point.

582
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: Wide receiver is another one that I'm really looking forward to.

583
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: Do they keep four this Tayland Wallace make it as

584
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: a fifth? You know, four would be light. That would

585
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: be really late. They traditionally would keep five or or

586
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: even the six. Um, so this Titland will let's make

587
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: it from our bridges. McKay polk. You know those are

588
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: some of the guys. Raley Webb caught a touchdown pass.

589
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: All those guys I think are in play and are

590
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: on the bubble, and it'll be really interesting to see

591
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: how they play in this third preseason game. So if

592
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: you think that you know who's gonna be on the

593
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: Ravens fifty three man roster, then make sure you enter

594
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: our our contest. You pick the team right, So you

595
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: gotta put on your GM hat for this one. But

596
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm telling you want to get your submission in early

597
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: because the person who most accurately predicts who's on the

598
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: Ravens final fifty three man roster and who does it first,

599
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: they will be our winner, and they will get two

600
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: tickets to the Ravens home opener against the Miami Dolphins

601
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: on September eighteen, two pregame sideline passes, and a jersey

602
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: autographed by first round draft pick am I am? I out?

603
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: Can I not enter my exempt? I can't win? Right?

604
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Can you just can't get the I can't get that.

605
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. I would like that, Kyle Homildon

606
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: and the tickets, all right, you're right, you're right. That'd

607
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: be a little shady, you'd be a little shady. I'm

608
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: looking out for your fans. I'm looking at for I'm

609
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: just kidding. I won't do that. But also, I like

610
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: every year I would not be the because some fan

611
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: gets it better than me. Uh, and especially Garrett. I'm

612
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: really sad that Garrett's not here because he's terrible at

613
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: that you pick the team contest, terrible, gosh, it's it's

614
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: one of my best. You know, he beats me in

615
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: all the drafts. I like to troll them for how

616
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: bad he is as a general manager and picking the

617
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: teams best. We should see. Garrett has always miss you,

618
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: but but I especially miss you right now because I'd

619
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 1: be trolling you before we go. Let's get to a

620
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: couple of emails. You've got one from Mark Fidi, he said.

621
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: Tuck as holder, he said, just wondering if you guys

622
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: noticed Tucker was served as the holder for Stout on

623
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: the last extra point. He crushed it. I thought that

624
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. You probably see that in practice all

625
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: the time. The Fox announcers didn't even mention it. I

626
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: don't know if they even noticed what was going on there.

627
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: Pretty cool it was, and you just never know. I mean,

628
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: talker people talking about Stout being an athlete. Yeah, Tucker,

629
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: I think he wants to show his skills too. Yeah.

630
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was pretty funny. Chris Horton was asked

631
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: about that on Wednesday, and he was like, I mean,

632
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 1: these guys in practice every day, they're trying to show

633
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: the other one that they can do their job better

634
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: than that, which is pretty great. Really reminded me me

635
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: and Garrett in our relationship. Um. So this next email

636
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: speaking to the Fox broadcast, Uh, this one comes from artists. Um.

637
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: He says, I'm watching this game and I cannot understand

638
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: what this Fox broadcast team. Okay, I'm not gonna read.

639
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: He just says they're on something. He says Lamar Lamar

640
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: struggles with injuries, Tyler playing well impacts Lamar's contract, Isaiah

641
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: likely being snuck onto the practice squad, he said, And

642
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: did you notice they put up put up a Jordan's

643
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: stout touchdown graphic when Raleigh Webb scored. I did notice

644
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: that everybody did? Uh said? So yeah, first, I think

645
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: the Fox broadcast was definitely off base with a number

646
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: of those things, all three of the things that you mentioned. Aris.

647
00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: Did I say artist before Aris? Um? Yeah, I mean, hey,

648
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: Lamar hasn't struggled with injuries his whole career. He had

649
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: the one ankle last year and that's been it. I mean,

650
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: he's missed time. He missed a game because of COVID

651
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: earlier that year. But that's not an injury. UM, it's

652
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: just it's just a misconception, like it just is UM.

653
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: And then yeah, Tyler Tyler Huntley playing well, I don't

654
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: think has any bearing on Lamar Lamar's contract situation. I

655
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: don't think Lamar SE's that and he's like, I better

656
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: sink a deal. I don't think those two things are

657
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: related at all. So I agree on that, and then

658
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I say, likely, Uh the comment that oh, you're not

659
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna be able to sneak him onto the practice quad

660
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: was that. I hope that was a joke, but I'm

661
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: not sure that it was. I hope. So I was

662
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: at the game, so I didn't hear the broadcast, but

663
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I heard a lot about it after it was over. Yeah,

664
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: that one I didn't hear, though. That's that's a new one.

665
00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: Everybody was like, what everybody in Baltimore, right? So Aarons

666
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: has a football question, and he said, since none of

667
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: the young wide receivers had a big night in Arizona,

668
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: who do you think is that biggest risk of being

669
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: pushed out by the addition of DeMarcus Robinson. It's an

670
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: interesting question, it is. I mean, both Polk and Bridges

671
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: to me were always you know, on defence guys, but

672
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: there's been you know, Tylan Wallas is interesting too. I mean,

673
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: we'll have to see what happens again. Are they going

674
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: to keep just four or five? I think Robinson is

675
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: definitely in the picture now, Yeah, I think Robinson's team.

676
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: So that does make it even tighter for the ones

677
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: who are in question. Yeah, and so I don't know.

678
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I think all those guys, whether it's Polk

679
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: or Bridges or even while, is that this is the

680
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: time where they need to step up because that's certainly

681
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: a spot where they could say, maybe we can't get

682
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: away with just four or they considering it likely is

683
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: basically likely. And Andrews are basically receivers exactly, They're they're

684
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: ty ends in name. Especially likely. I mean to me,

685
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: he plays like a w receiver in a in a

686
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: tight end his body. So yes, I mean the Robinson

687
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,439
Speaker 1: signing is definitely interesting a for what he can bring

688
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: to the team and be for how it's going to

689
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: impact the rest of the crew. Yep, I totally agree. Uh,

690
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be interesting. And I'll say this to

691
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: fans who are entering that you pick the team contest,

692
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,720
Speaker 1: what you want to be watching is special teams. Who's

693
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: on that first team special teams unit? Who and and

694
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: where are they at and how do they do on

695
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 1: special teams? That is factor, especially with that fifth wide

696
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: receiver spot. If they're gonna keep five, that dude needs

697
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: to play special teams to even be active on game

698
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 1: day at all. So keep an eye on special teams.

699
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 1: You don't usually it's not something that we're all focused

700
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: on looking at, you know, we just like to look

701
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: at Justin Tucker, you know, watching what he's doing and

702
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,359
Speaker 1: now Jordan's now the way he's bombing the ball. But

703
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: it's there's coverage units and the return units all there's

704
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: gunner positions. Keep an eye on that when you're making
