You can go Italian, you 23 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 1: can go Ham. I feel like Ham's a traditional one, 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: but we go steaks. It was great. I mean, there's 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with steaks, and it was I was in Ohio. 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: It was like it was way warmer. There's sixty degrees. 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: That's crazy. Grilled grilled steaks, grilled steaks outside, grill stakes outside. 28 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: That's not Christmas Like. It was weird. It was very weird. 29 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: The snow on the ground, grilling outside, that's nice. That's 30 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: very nice. All right, Well, uh, we are happy to 31 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: be joined by Jalen ferguson, the rookie outside linebacker, third 32 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: round pick. We're gonna have an interview with him. But 33 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: before we jump into that, got a couple of emails. 34 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: You go ahead, sure, This one comes to us from 35 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: Barth Poby and Barth. Right. Take guy. I think the 36 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 1: NFL should start a new statistic for quarterbacks based on 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: the number of minutes they did not play because they 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 1: put their teams so well ahead to win a game. 39 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: What do you think Lamar should get that the minute 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: for all the fourth quarters he did not play and 41 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: for week seventeen that he's not playing for the same reason. 42 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,360 Speaker 1: So he's basically saying there should be some way to 43 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 1: indicate this. When you look back at the stats, his 44 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: stats won't be as good as they certainly could have. So, 45 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it is crazy. I mean he's he 46 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: Lamar will have missed essentially two games if you add 47 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 1: up all the time that he sat out with the 48 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: fourth quarter in Miami, a bunch of different years Cincinnati. Um, 49 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: so it's just wild to look at the numbers. I mean, 50 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: he's gonna finish unless Jamie Winston. There's five touchdown passes. 51 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: Lamar is gonna lead the NFL and touchdown passes this 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: season despite missing two games. Yeah, that's Craig Craiz. Yeah, 53 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: it is crazy. I mean, I don't know what that 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: statistics would be called. I think it's almost like, well, 55 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: there's I know tomorrow point that that's two bars point 56 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 1: he wants that statistic. Don't know, but I think that 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: like a a efficiency score would be is essentially what 58 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: he's talking about, like how efficient have you been in 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: the minutes that you've played. It's like quarterback rating. It 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: is it is a quarterback rating, but quarterback rating. The 61 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: one thing that with quarterback rating is uh, over the 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: course of the entire season. Um, you can have a 63 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: guy that has high quarterback rating but only plays a 64 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 1: couple of games, he may not be a start. I 65 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: mean you'd have to qualify, you know, you play a 66 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: minimum of whatever games quart or anything where you're taking 67 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: the average of something. Technically it is that, but there 68 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: has to be a minimum. I mean here in a honestly, 69 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: here's the thing. The stats, the stats are not as 70 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: good as they could have been if he had played 71 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the entire game the entire season. But he's still gonna 72 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: win the m v P. So it's not like this 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: he's getting hurt by the fact that he doesn't have 74 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: as high of stats. Here's this kind of interesting. I 75 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: think he if he had played every game one one 76 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: Staton record that would have gone up significantly, would have 77 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: been the rushing record. He would have beat Vic by 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: significantly more. I think he do you think you know 79 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: they said vix record would never be broken. Does anybody 80 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: come along that's not named Lamar Jackson beating his own record? 81 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: Does anybody ever come along and beat Lamar? Yeah? I 82 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: mean sure, I think that there's I think that Lamar 83 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: is changing the game, and I think there's probably gonna 84 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: be more quarterbacks and more teams that see the success 85 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: that he's having and the Ravens are having and build 86 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: a team around a quarterback like that. Now, there's not 87 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: many players like Lamar. It's not as simple as like, hey, 88 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: you gotta do with that quarterback just making Lamar Jackson. Well, 89 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: there's only one Lamar Jackson. There's a reason that he's 90 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: as good as he is. But I do think that 91 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,119 Speaker 1: over the next twenty years, like Hardball said in that clip, 92 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: you know a couple months ago, how many guys are 93 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: gonna be wearing your the number eight jersey playing quarterback? 94 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: That is true. There's going to be more and more 95 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: players that play that position, and teams builder offense around them, 96 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: and and so could at all level. At a youth level, 97 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be more coaches now who say, hey, 98 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: maybe I don't switch this kid off a quarterback. Yeah, 99 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,599 Speaker 1: maybe I leave leave him at quarterback. And parents, now, 100 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: parents are gonna want to be the next Lamar Jackson's 101 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: mom and say, you're not switching my kid off a 102 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: quarter act. He's playing there. I don't care what you say, 103 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: he's not going to wide receiver and so. But but 104 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: it is always interesting, man. This it's it's always cyclical, 105 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,839 Speaker 1: you know, just when the running game it becomes in 106 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: vogue now that it'll be the traditional pocket passer again. 107 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: So it's just funny. But yes, I agree with you. 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: I could see the record falling, and when we look 109 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: back on it, I wonder if people will remember Lamar 110 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: Jackson essentially didn't play two games. He could he break 111 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: his own record? Like, do you think he could break 112 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: it next year? Would you? Yeah? Why not? I mean 113 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: I actually think that I was surprised there weren't more 114 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: really long Lamar runs this year, like the Cincinnati one. 115 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: Like the Cincinnati one mean, which was about forty uh 116 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: but there are a number of times when he got 117 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: tripped up by the shoelaces, and I mean, how many 118 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: times can you think of Lamar getting up after running, 119 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, smacked his helmet and you know, like I 120 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: I just thought he was gonna break more big ones. 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: And if he does that in the years upcoming, certainly 122 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: could break his own record, right, It'll be interesting. Alright. 123 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: Another email here comes from Dr Evans. Email is Lamar 124 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: has brought a level of height to the Ravens that 125 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: I don't even think existed during the two Super Bowl runs. 126 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: When I'm listening to press conferences, I hear different voices, 127 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: some from other countries. Yes, you do hear Spanish. Some 128 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: Spanish broadcasters. They don't ask their questions in Spanish, saying 129 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: I guess you know you can hear the Yeah, a 130 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: little Spanish inflection there. Uh so, he says. So I'm 131 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: curious to know how different the media presence is now, 132 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: thanks Roger. Uh yeah, I mean right now, here's how 133 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: how here's how I'll sum it up. Now, you know 134 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,559 Speaker 1: people shooting cameras, the photographers here and Chad can speak 135 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: to this year producer, Chad, can you you want to talk? Um? 136 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: You don't even have a mic. You're just like you 137 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: can't speak. You can talk loud enough, you can hear 138 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: from now we get the double decker press conferences, right, 139 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: you gotta have a chair behind the first row cameras. 140 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: There's multiple tiers of cameras. That's what it's like right now, Chad, 141 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: can you talk to about this? Yeah? So sometimes we 142 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: uh have mink pulled me up a stool so I 143 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: can stand the stool and see over all the all 144 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: the people that are there that I did not have 145 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: to do in the beginning of the year. Yes, that's 146 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: if I'm not sitting on a stool already just to 147 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: make myself look taller. I mean it is, and it's 148 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: only going to get to get crazier and crazier once 149 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs starts. It's gonna be nuts. Yeah, it is 150 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: totally different. The biggest thing that I would say that's 151 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: different compared to the I wasn't here for the first 152 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: Super Bowl rund, but from two thousand twelve is the 153 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: way that the Ravens lead the discussion around the entire league. 154 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: Like NFL Network, ESPN, the Ravens are the top of 155 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: every conversation. Even inelve when Ray Lewis was on his 156 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: last ride and all that, the Ravens weren't dominating the conversation. 157 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: You had you had Peyton Manning and the Broncos, who 158 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: were the best team that year. You had the Patriots, 159 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: who who they would both considered better teams than the Ravens. Yeah, 160 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the Broncos. The Broncos were the 161 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: number one overall seed um and the Patriots were the 162 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Patriots who had won multiple Super Bowls. So um, both 163 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: of those teams got far more conversation than the Ravens did. 164 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: And also the forty Niners that or with Kaepernick, and 165 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: they were a totally exciting team like the Ravens were 166 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: like the sixth, sixth or seven team down the list 167 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: that you would generate conversation. Not everybody this year saying 168 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens is a Super Bowl favorite to win it.

So obviously you come here in college, 303 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: you broke trell Slugs sack record for most sacks ever sacks? Uh, 304 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: what did it mean to you to break his record 305 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 1: and then to come here and be drafted by the 306 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: team where he spent most of his career. I mean 307 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: that was crazy because he's just like the way stuff 308 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: lining up, It's almost like he was meant to be 309 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 1: because who would have thought four years ago, you know, 310 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: when I first came to college, I wanted number forty four, 311 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: so I number fourty four in high school and saying 312 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: that my dad was before the four was taken if 313 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: I had to get forty five, and who would have 314 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: figured out forty five was a career sack record. It 315 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: was also terrelss record, who would later out end up 316 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: being drafted at the Baltimore to estimately, you know, try 317 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: to fill in his role. So you just feel like 318 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: it's all distance they lined up for me. And what 319 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: did you think of all the buzz, like the a 320 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago when people were talking about, you know, 321 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: the Cardinals released sugs and he was saying that, hey, 322 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: I'd want to come back to Baltimore.

Just how did you 328 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: look at all that? I mean, I looked at it 329 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: like none but respect for him. If you wanted to 330 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: come home, they end up with respect for him. But 331 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: We're gonna fight for this position right now because I 332 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: feel like I came in the fire. You know, I 333 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: lived and died by this position. So I'm not gonna 334 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: give it up with really, And if you come in 335 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and dominant and take me much respect to the fit, 336 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: much respect, he always gonna get first at the front 337 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: of line. I'm gonna put out my damn his fight 338 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: for it, and I'm gonna run. I'm gonna run. I'm 339 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 1: gonna run. I'm gonna get it right. I'm get everything right, 340 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: my steps exactly perfect, because if I got it, if 341 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: I play over him, I want my game to be tight. 342 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: I want to leave no doubt nobody head right. It 343 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: seems to me like that's your mentality on everything, like 344 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: you just I guess it's kind of a theme that 345 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm sensing here, Like you just have a fighter's mentality 346 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: on the football field, got to got to some less 347 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: so many times in life with this whole opportunity could 348 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: have been taken away from me. So now I'm just 349 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: grateful for it. So everything about it, I got to 350 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: fight for it. I don't fight for it, somebody else 351 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: will coming in and fight for it. So now it's 352 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: my I'm gonna take it. I asked Wink Martindale, just 353 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: where you've made your biggest strides as a rookie ass 354 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: in this today, and he said, experience has just been 355 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: really big for you. I mean just getting on the 356 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: field and getting that And he said, quote, I think 357 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be a really good player for 358 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: quite some time. I really do, because the way he 359 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: attacks the game and studies the game. Can you talk 360 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: about that, the way that you've studied and how much 361 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: experience has really helped you grow as a player. I 362 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: mean it all you know, fall back to come at 363 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: to the league, Like I had my my ways of 364 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: doing stuff in college, and I learned quickly that didn't 365 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: want the same when you come to the league, because 366 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, in college we've got different offenses. You know, 367 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 1: we got the West coast, the slinging running gun down 368 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: here and run it. But nfield blueprint almost every team 369 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: is basically you know, it's almost the same blueprint. It's 370 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: a different way. So first I have studied my team 371 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: and learning to learn the stuff. And once I learned it, 372 00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: I started translating it to the rest of the game. 373 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: So once I learned and I see a certain formation, 374 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: I look at another team and I noticed that it's 375 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's a different way, And just keep 376 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 1: on getting that experience to keep looking and keep watching it. 377 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: Oh man, this look the same he did that on 378 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 1: this place, So that means that this is okay there, 379 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: well go, I'm in the play. And it went from 380 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: that slow process and like trying to figure it out. 381 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 1: So okay, this was gonna happen to boom. I already 382 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: know what's gonna happen. Boom. I know what to do. 383 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: What's it mean to you to have your defensive coordinators say, 384 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: hey man, this guy's gonna be a really good player 385 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: for a long time. I mean, I get on my stuff. Okay, 386 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: let you know, Okay, let week down. He put me 387 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: in a position to be great right now. Okay, let 388 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: him down. Can't let him be wrong. Before we let 389 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: you go, I was just chatting with you while we 390 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: were walking over here, and you have the wild dog 391 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: sweat shirt off from Jackson, he said. Jalen said that 392 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 1: he actually knew that this is an African wild dog 393 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: before anybody even said it. Really explain when I was younger, 394 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 1: you know, I used to be real being in the animals, 395 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,959 Speaker 1: so especially in Africa, because that's what all you know, 396 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: basically all species started that I already know about. The 397 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: African wild dog is one of the most successful hunters. 398 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: Reasons the most successful hunter because the hunter is a 399 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 1: pat and I'm a bit ten guy. So you know, 400 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: old court just say uh rupid kif me saying it's 401 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: the strength of the wolf is the pat. So it's 402 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: all of us together. It's the same thing with the 403 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: African wild dog. You'll never see one by yourself. Never 404 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 1: even when I was sweaters, You'll never see just one 405 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: of us wearing them. That's true that there's a lot 406 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: of guys where I need to get one of those. 407 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 1: I said to him, that thing looks like it's been 408 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,399 Speaker 1: through the watch a few times. You guys to go 409 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: wear how that? Yeah, quarter give me something. I'm proud. 410 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm used to being on defensive side of the ball. 411 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,680 Speaker 1: So we're getting the love from the quarterback. Yeah, I'm 412 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: probably this sweater. Awesome. What we're proud of the job 413 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 1: you're doing as a rookie man. Thank you? All right? 414 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: All right? Sac Why did you do that that introduction 415 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: when I should have? I should have. You know, I 416 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,480 Speaker 1: feel like he's a pretty serious dude, and you heard him. 417 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: He might just like punch you in the mouth or something. 418 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. You gotta be watching piece and keys. 419 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: He he is a serious guy. And we wanted to 420 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: make sure we got him out on time because he 421 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: had to go to special teams meeting and so we 422 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, we don't want to get 423 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: him in trouble here. He's rookie guy exactly. Um. But yeah, 424 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 1: I think he's a really good player. I think the 425 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: pronomic fee comparison is really good. Pronomic fee. Uh. Those 426 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: first two seasons of his career played a huge role 427 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: in helping the Ravens get to the a f C 428 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: Championship his rookie year in eleven and then win the 429 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl in two thousand twelve. So he had a 430 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: huge part in those runs. Yeah, definitely, And uh, I 431 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: think that Jaillen could. I think Jalen's gonna make some 432 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: big place here. He's getting closer and closer. He had 433 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: he sacked the Shawn Watson so Texans come back. He 434 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: can do it again. Uh, and he got Josh Allen. 435 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 1: So he's been making plays and I've I've definitely noticed 436 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,880 Speaker 1: him more. He stood out. One thing we didn't get 437 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: a chance to ask him about, which was a phenomenal 438 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: play against the Browns, was that play where they tossed 439 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: out on third and one. This was the Browns had 440 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: a six nothing lead. It's late in the first half. 441 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: They're driving with the potential to go by two touchdowns 442 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: and close out the is half by doing so. It's 443 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: third one. They pitch it out to Kareem Hunt and 444 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: Jail and Ferguson had that puppy sniffed out just like 445 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: took him down for like a six yard loss. Earl 446 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: Thomas Als got the ball. I don't know how Kareem 447 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: Hunt held onto that ball, right, that guy had stick 448 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: him on his gloves. I want those checks. Yeah, that 449 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: was a great player. I think he's he's coming along 450 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: really well, I think it. I like his honesty and 451 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: basically saying when he got here, he was a little 452 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: bit waking up by the fact that the NFL is 453 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: not Louisiana attack and it was it was a steep 454 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: climb from you know, probably more so than he expected 455 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: and realize, and he had to catch up quickly. And 456 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: he's putting a lot of hard work. He's always a 457 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: guy that I noticed after practice. Uh it was with 458 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: Purnell and announced with different guys, but always working hand 459 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,159 Speaker 1: movement stuff like they'll always after practice. So I have 460 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: somebody kind of pushing him and he's working just different 461 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: hand movements in his pass rush. So you could see 462 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: him putting the work in. And I agree with Wake 463 00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 1: I think. I mean, he's a big, big he's a 464 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: big dude's physical. If he can refine his game a 465 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,120 Speaker 1: little bit more, uh, and he's gonna get a lot 466 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: of just hustle sex too, which Tarls Suggs is kind 467 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: of same. I mean, arl Suggs is the most like 468 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: quick twitch, explosive guy. I mean he's a freakish athlete, 469 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: especially big, physical, strong, hustles all those things. And Jalen 470 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: is gonna get a lot of sex the same way. Also, 471 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: I think that Jalen will really benefit from a full 472 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: year offseason weight room, Like just the guy that like 473 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: he's a big guy, but he's a young guy, and 474 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: so as he continues to like fill up, fill into 475 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,679 Speaker 1: his body and just get get more physically prepared for 476 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: life in the NFL, he's gonna just be a great players. 477 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: All Right, we want to talk a little bit about 478 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: this week's game, Steelers come to town. Obviously, nothing on 479 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: the line for the Ravens from a playoffs standpoint, um, 480 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: But there's a lot on the guy a line for 481 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: guys like RG three um. And I think that I 482 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 1: do do think that the Ravens truly it's important for 483 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: them to keep the momentum rolling. Like I think fourteen 484 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: and two sounds a lot better than thirteen and three. 485 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: Absolutely does. The only other thirdteen and three Ravens team 486 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: lost in the first round in the divisional round. So hey, 487 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying, good fourteen and two and bring down the 488 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: mood around uh. But yeah, I mean I think you 489 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 1: win eleven Street. You're like, I don't want to see 490 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: this end. And there are a bunch of players on 491 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: this team who have not lost wearing a Ravens uniform. 492 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: I think they want to just keep that rolling right 493 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: through the Super Bowl. Just never loses a raving um. 494 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that it definitely means something. And 495 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: and like wink, Martin Dale said, this is still the Steelers. Yeah, 496 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: we still don't like these guys. You still see black 497 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: and gold on the other side. You want to beat 498 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: him up. By the way, can I just throw this out? 499 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: My kid is trolling me, Brooks saying big Steelers fan 500 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: every single time. Oh daddy, yeah, I like Steelers. I'm 501 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: a Steelers fan. Just knows how to get under my skin. 502 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: What do you do with that as a parent? I 503 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: don't know. I mean you need to lay the law down. 504 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: That to me says that you need to put your 505 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 1: foot down in that house. This is the time out. 506 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: This I don't know what it is. Well, he gets 507 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: wrestled every single time. It's just it's become a game tho, 508 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: just wrestling to the ground. So that was half of 509 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: my Christmas was spent dealing with that because with this game, 510 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: do you get him a Steelers jersey for his birthdayre 511 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: for Christmas? Ain't happening. Ain't happening, but uh yeah, anyway, 512 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: moving on, I do think the Ravens have a lot 513 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: to play for in this game. I think they'll come out, 514 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: they'll come out swinging, and it'll be interesting to see 515 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: how this weekend shakes out because it's gonna obviously determine 516 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: the playoffs and give us a clear picture of who 517 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens could face. Just to let listeners out there, No, 518 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: here's the situation. The Houston Texans are locked in as 519 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 1: the four seed right now. Okay, the five seed is 520 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: also locked in with the Buffalo Bills. Six is three 521 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: way battle right now between the Titans tour in the 522 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: driver's seat if they win. There in the Steelers don't 523 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: have a win to get in, but most likely they 524 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: have to win and the Titans loss, So it could 525 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: be the Titans, Steelers or outside chance, the Raiders. Three. 526 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: I believe the Raiders are in. Um Oh no, I 527 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think the Raiders can lose and 528 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: get in. I think the Raiders. Sorry to um. So 529 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: that's the situation with the six, and then the other 530 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: thing in play here is that the two and three 531 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: seeds are not decided as long as the Patriots beat 532 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins, then they will get a first round by 533 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: and personally, that's what I'm rooting for. I think the 534 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 1: Chiefs right now are the Ravens greatest threat. I want 535 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: them to have to take the longest road possible, which 536 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: means playing the wild card. So I want the Chiefs 537 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: to end up as the three seeds. I agree with that, 538 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: And then you start thinking about who you want the 539 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs to play in that first round. Well, I was 540 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: also gonna say, if the Chiefs are locked into the 541 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: three seed, there's no way the Ravens's the Chiefs until 542 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: the AFC champion. Yeah, yeah, you want Patriots and Chiefs 543 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: on a crash crash course, but exactly absolutely knocked one 544 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: of them out. But yeah, who would you're saying, who 545 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 1: would you rather the Ravens face and divisionals? I was saying, well, right, 546 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: because that's the sixth seed. I kind of think the Titans. 547 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: I think the Titans are actually a team that could 548 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,959 Speaker 1: make a little noise. They're hot right now. Tannehill is hot. Uh, 549 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry can run the ball. Yeah, I mean the 550 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs run defense is not great. Yeah, their defense has 551 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 1: been playing better, but if they just run the ball 552 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry, keep Homes off the field. They're a 553 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: team that could shock somebody, and I think beat the Chiefs. Yeah. 554 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: I used to think the Steelers, but their offenses it's 555 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: not good enough. They're not good enough to hang. Yeah, 556 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: I think you want the Titans to win, go ahead 557 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: and challenge the Chiefs, and then in terms of the 558 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: divisional round, we obviously can spend a lot of time 559 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: talking about that matchup, you know, next week, but I 560 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 1: think that it's either gonna be Buffalo or Houston. Ravens 561 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: have played both of them, not necessarily well. I guess 562 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: if if the Titans one, sorry gust the Titans one. 563 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 1: But if I'm thinking between Buffalo and Houston, you know, 564 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens play both of them. I think both of 565 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: them are are good opponents. I would probably say I'd 566 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: rather face Houston because of the way the Ravens beating 567 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: forty one of seven. But I don't know you're looking 568 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 1: at the show why. I know, I know VP conversation, 569 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 1: best wide receivers in the game. I know I think 570 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: I'd take a rematch with Buffalo, much closer game, but 571 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: much worse conditions in that game, weather, wise, which I 572 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: think greatly affected how close that game was. I mean 573 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: that game. I mean they came down to fourth down, 574 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: fourth down, a beer, right, and it was forty seven 575 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 1: when the Ravens played the Texans. Um But that game 576 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: was a lot closer than the final score indicate. I 577 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: think it was squirreless at the end of the first quarter. 578 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: Quarter It was a lot closer. Yeah, And and Marl 579 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: Humphrey gets flagged for a dp I in the end 580 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: zone on the game they go up seven nothing. So anyway, well, 581 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: a lot of time to talk about that down the road. 582 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: Everybody out there. Enjoy the Steelers game. Should I do 583 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: the big car? I mean it's I mean, it doesn't 584 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: play off incase I think it's. I think it's a 585 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: big win. It's a big win. Keep it you keep 586 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: me going. No, it's gotta be born that. It's not that. 587 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 1: That was like what I did for the Bengals game. No, 588 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: it's go ahead, whatever you want to do, right. I 589 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: think it's a media level. All right, everybody, get ready. 590 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 1: We'll see you after a bit. Egg
