Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens held
Speaker 1: their locker clean out day today after losing in the
Speaker 1: divisional rounds of the Buffalo Bills. On Sunday, the Ravens
Speaker 1: had their final team meeting and said their farewells this morning,
Speaker 1: and after that final team meeting, we had a chance
Speaker 1: to hear from some of the players. So let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and kick it off with full back Patchwork card.
Speaker 2: Pat.
Speaker 3: I mean, you you've been through a few of these now,
Speaker 3: disappointment kind of always the same or does it grow
Speaker 3: over the years as you guys keep getting close.
Speaker 4: I think whenever you don't go to the Super Bowl
Speaker 4: and win it, it's always disappointment, But you still have to
Speaker 4: have pride and just look at the memories and this
Speaker 4: season that we had, everything we've accomplished as a team. Individually,
Speaker 4: this is one of the most fun I've had playing football.
Speaker 4: It's the best offense ever been a part of. You know,
Speaker 4: I got to play with the best running back in football,
Speaker 4: best quarterback in football. So there's a lot to hang
Speaker 4: my hat on. But you know, at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, I wanna I want a Super Bowl. I
Speaker 4: wanta baltim wanna have another Super Bowl.
Speaker 5: So.
Speaker 2: But I don't look at us as a failure.
Speaker 4: You know, We've did a lot of great things, a
Speaker 4: lot of things we can learn from and improve as
Speaker 4: a team. So uh yeah, it obviously hurts, but time
Speaker 4: will hill all all things. You just gotta look at
Speaker 4: the things that you're grateful for. I'm healthy, I gotta
Speaker 4: beautiful family, beautiful daughter. Can't wait to spend time with them.
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm excited about right now.
Speaker 6: Have we know how time that this team is and
Speaker 6: the great seasons you guys have had, including this one,
Speaker 6: why do you feel like you guys haven't been able
Speaker 6: to get to that ultimate.
Speaker 2: Goal that you want.
Speaker 4: You just made too many mistakes. You know, you can't
Speaker 4: turn the ball over three times. There's a lot of
Speaker 4: things that happened in that game, and I feel like
Speaker 4: if we didn't make those, with those mistakes, we were in
Speaker 4: that game to win it, especially against a great team
Speaker 4: like Buffalo. So uh yeah, it's just those those mistakes
Speaker 4: you just can't happen. And even though we had those mistakes,
Speaker 4: we were still in that game. So thanks just kind
Speaker 4: of credit to the team that we have the way
Speaker 4: we fight, the way we play, the way, the way
Speaker 4: we believe in one another and what we're doing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just too many mistakes that at you know,
Speaker 2: with how.
Speaker 3: Talented more is that it's just at some point the
Speaker 3: odds are that, yeah, he's gonna get there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know how special he is. And I think
Speaker 4: this year, you just just seeing how he's grown as
Speaker 4: a player, just how quickly he's making decisions, just his
Speaker 4: growth of his reads is the way he throws the ball,
Speaker 4: the way he decides when to run. It's inevitable he's
Speaker 4: gonna win a super Bowl and I wanna be a
Speaker 4: part of it. And it just sucks hasn't happened yet,
Speaker 4: you know, But you know, I I D I feel
Speaker 4: I F I personally feel bad for him because he
Speaker 4: deserves it, just because of how great of a player
Speaker 4: he is, Like he deserves to be considered one of
Speaker 4: the best quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: He already is.
Speaker 4: But I know everyone considers championships as the the standard,
Speaker 4: and you know he'll he'll get it one day.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 4: I always love when people compare him to Pain and
Speaker 4: man and pain Manning was three and five in playoffs,
Speaker 4: just in the same amount of spand that Lamire is
Speaker 4: and he wanted to win a couple. So there's still time.
Speaker 4: He's still young. He's definitely gonna get one at some point.
Speaker 2: Wanting to get one with you thought of it at all, agency.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean maybe a Phrasian. I wanna stay here.
Speaker 4: I wanna be here. I want to retire here. But
Speaker 4: you know, we'll we'll see what happens when the time comes.
Speaker 2: Remember that that will do replaces offense.
Speaker 3: I mean, I know a couple of years ago when
Speaker 3: he came in, you were Yeah, I mean I was
Speaker 3: like an offensive line.
Speaker 2: See what I can do and why not?
Speaker 4: But yeah, I think he sees what I can do,
Speaker 4: you know, understands how to you me? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 4: I would love to keep being a part of it
Speaker 4: as long as everyone wants me here. And you know,
Speaker 4: he wants to keep using me the way he's been
Speaker 4: using me. You know, maybe you know, lets me throw
Speaker 4: the ball, but I'm tired of throwing.
Speaker 2: So you guys did the position. I think you did.
Speaker 4: How it's Mark doing like, yeah, yeah, we went in
Speaker 4: to that end room. George talk just spoke just about
Speaker 4: the whole season, just about us as a group. But yeah,
Speaker 4: Mark's a complete competitor, so he'll be fine. We all
Speaker 4: know he'll be fine. He's the heart and soul of
Speaker 4: this team. He's one big games for us, so we'll
Speaker 4: continue to win big games here. You know, he's the
Speaker 4: guy to go to in big situations. And I know
Speaker 4: he's gonna be hurting for a while, but yeah, he
Speaker 4: he's gonna continue to do great things. You know, in
Speaker 4: my eyes, he's gonna be a future Hall of Famer.
Speaker 4: He's an all time raven. But yeah, I think again,
Speaker 4: like I will heal all things. I think once, you know,
Speaker 4: he'll get away from here, spend time with this, with
Speaker 4: his family and his girlfriend, and I think he's only
Speaker 4: gonna grow from miss and be even better, which is
Speaker 4: scary because he's already very good. So you know, I
Speaker 4: love him and he's had a great year. Can't let
Speaker 4: one game or one played decide your whole career or
Speaker 4: anything like that. So we know this won't define him
Speaker 4: or shave him. So you know he'll he'll be He's
Speaker 4: a great man. He'll be fine moving forward.
Speaker 3: Beyond your individual situation. Do you do you kind of
Speaker 3: hope that this this group coaches on down gets another
Speaker 3: shot out of it as as a as a group.
Speaker 2: What do you mean the coaches and stuff.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean coaches, I mean core players.
Speaker 4: Just I think is I think as lamar as long
Speaker 4: as the Mars here, and you'll have a shot every
Speaker 4: year of getting a Super Bowl. I think that's that's
Speaker 4: the main thing. As long as the Mars here. He
Speaker 4: has a good group of guys around them that play
Speaker 4: hard for him.
Speaker 2: That's all. That's all he needs. Do you see anything
Speaker 2: to mark today or last night?
Speaker 4: Just just a couple of sentences, nothing crazy. I mean,
Speaker 4: there's nothing that he needs to hear that he already knows,
Speaker 4: you know, s like I like I said, I think
Speaker 4: just time will be his friend. Right now.
Speaker 7: You talk about the influence of Todd Munkins had on
Speaker 7: this offensive past two years and how much you guys
Speaker 7: hope that he doesn't leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, you know, he.
Speaker 4: Understands who he has as players here and understands how
Speaker 4: to use them. And I think you've seen the growth
Speaker 4: from year one a year or two. You know, we
Speaker 4: were so balanced this year we could do everything, attack
Speaker 4: anybody anyway. He's great to be around. He's a fun
Speaker 4: coach to play for. He knows how to be serious
Speaker 4: but also kind of keep the room late, but also
Speaker 4: able to get feedback from everybody. He doesn't have a
Speaker 4: huge ego in terms of doesn't listen to any players
Speaker 4: or coaches. You know, he's always just trying to do
Speaker 4: what's right for the offense then for the teams. But yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm hoping that he stays here. I know he loves
Speaker 4: coaching offense. I know he loves coaching Lamar and all
Speaker 4: the guys that we have here, So I don't see
Speaker 4: why he would want to live.
Speaker 1: Next up is Pro Bowl Defensive Lineman nominee.
Speaker 6: The process, everything that's going on with the last twelve
Speaker 6: O MESSI wells people take.
Speaker 8: It for time.
Speaker 5: Oh well, you know it's not a good feeling when
Speaker 5: you uh go into anemy territory and expect to win
Speaker 5: and you lose. So you know, it's not a good feeling.
Speaker 5: But you know, we everybody in this black room mess
Speaker 5: so much love and respect for each other. So we're
Speaker 5: just trying to cope with it. But you know, just
Speaker 5: trying to suck it all. And it doesn't feel like
Speaker 5: it really hit all the way yet. But you know,
Speaker 5: I'll take your time with it.
Speaker 1: How do you how do you move on from like
Speaker 1: the disappointment of.
Speaker 8: The season seven.
Speaker 5: You know, you just you just process it just one,
Speaker 5: you know, day at a time. At this point, you
Speaker 5: know it's most disappointing and uh yeah, there's no it's
Speaker 5: just you're just still trying to cope with that. You
Speaker 5: were returning our iPads a day and you know, you
Speaker 5: it just feels like, you know, we should've kept going,
Speaker 5: but you know we just fell a little short song?
Speaker 2: It what was to like about the season? Uh? One
Speaker 2: of the ages you know worth you did all the good.
Speaker 1: Things once you do you know where that you know,
Speaker 1: like you know this big picture wise, how do you
Speaker 1: how do you look at the season?
Speaker 5: You know, just motivation to just uh keep going to
Speaker 5: where we belong and that's t in the top and
Speaker 5: you know it's it's just strong processing and just.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you feel.
Speaker 7: Like it makes it more difficult when you have games
Speaker 7: like this that you feel like an end result could
Speaker 7: have been from O.
Speaker 8: Doing mistakes that you guys said not so much that
Speaker 8: be us.
Speaker 6: It's that way in on it.
Speaker 5: Oh, in some ways it does. Yes, you know, if
Speaker 5: we all look back at the film, I know there's
Speaker 5: things that we could have done better, but you know
Speaker 5: it's over and done with and the results of the results,
Speaker 5: and you know, just processing it all and just trying
Speaker 5: to move move forward with impossible like and and and
Speaker 5: do better like uh just uh you know chairs this
Speaker 5: norment with these guys. You know, every years it's a
Speaker 5: new it's a new room, it's a new team. So
Speaker 5: you know, just cheers these moments with these guys and
Speaker 5: just don't forget the strong bond and you know, relationships
Speaker 5: that you uh built and.
Speaker 2: Move on.
Speaker 1: We also heard from rookie first round pick cornerback Nate Lakes, Well,
Speaker 1: they just how difficult is at the end of the
Speaker 1: season and and know 'em that it for this year.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's over right now.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, it's it's very difficult just knowing, uh
Speaker 9: just knowing how good we how good we uh could
Speaker 9: have been. Uh just it just difficult just knowing, uh
Speaker 9: we just gave the game up and know we could
Speaker 9: have on. So uh it's it's it's very difficult. But
Speaker 9: uh like just like we just gotta go into that
Speaker 9: season U get better.
Speaker 1: But what are the conversations like today as you talk
Speaker 1: with teammates and kind of process. What's going on the
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours.
Speaker 9: Uh, it was just a lot of uh just people
Speaker 9: was just upset. Just uh just keep being ourself, like, uh,
Speaker 9: nobody not we not losing anybody. We just losing to ourselves.
Speaker 9: So everybody just uh just mad about that for real.
Speaker 1: For you, what do you take away from your rookie season?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 9: Just just really Uh I know, uh I had in
Speaker 9: beginning of the season just a lot of uh pis,
Speaker 9: but going going like deep into the season, I started
Speaker 9: getting better. So now it just uh for me to
Speaker 9: just get uncomfortable. I feel like I'm comfortable enough going
Speaker 9: to my next season or naw, I'm I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: So yeah, y along those lines, I mean, you got
Speaker 1: your your snaps increase, You're playing time really increasing, you
Speaker 1: play a key role down the stretch. Uh how poious
Speaker 1: going into your second season? Do you feel like you
Speaker 1: are to to come in and be a starter and
Speaker 1: then play a big role.
Speaker 9: I feel like, uh, I'm i'm'a poor to uh as
Speaker 9: eg as they can be.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 9: I feel like I showed what I can do. Uh,
Speaker 9: I show what uh my COVID skills, So I feel
Speaker 9: like I can go out and body in the league,
Speaker 9: you know, so uh yeah, I.
Speaker 1: And I guess for you, what what's your.
Speaker 9: Big focus this off season?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 9: Just really getting stronger and getting my weight up.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 9: I feel like that's a big part of my game,
Speaker 9: just getting stronger and uh.
Speaker 7: When they drafted you, they said they had a plan
Speaker 7: for you in your physical development.
Speaker 2: I mean, how much did you develop or how much
Speaker 2: could you develop from when you got here to Baltimore
Speaker 2: into I guess where you kind of r down.
Speaker 9: Uh yeah, I develop uh tremendously.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 9: I feel like my my strength uh just taking on
Speaker 9: uh like the NFL. Like NFL Uh guys, I feel like,
Speaker 9: uh I'm not getting bullied around like folks said I was,
Speaker 9: and I'm getting out the season. So uh yeah, I
Speaker 9: feel like my uh my weight and strength that got
Speaker 9: community scrimble was you're.
Speaker 2: Playing weight higher this year than it was in Clemson.
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, yeah, sir, Yeah. Uh in clumps, I was
Speaker 9: like one sixty something. No, I'm like one seventy eight,
Speaker 9: seventy six, seventy eight.
Speaker 7: So is it is there a target that you want
Speaker 7: to get through this offseason?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 9: Nah, not really, just to get strongled for real. I
Speaker 9: don't really not tryna add weight just to get stronger. Uh,
Speaker 9: I ain't trying to lose no speed.
Speaker 1: So, in addition to hearing from Nate Wigans, we also
Speaker 1: heard from fellow rookie right tackle Roger Wildcar.
Speaker 8: What was it like to, you know, go from there?
Speaker 4: Yeah, by the way, you know, I think anytime you
Speaker 4: give up a sack as an alignment, it's probably the
Speaker 4: lowest point you'll ever you'll ever be in as an alignment,
Speaker 4: you know. And I just took the negative and turning
Speaker 4: in the positive. So you know, I only I knew
Speaker 4: I could only go up from there. And you know,
Speaker 4: kind of this back half of the season, I you know,
Speaker 4: I want to make sure I laid it out all
Speaker 4: on the line. You know, I gave it my all,
Speaker 4: and you know that's the one thing I walk with
Speaker 4: every single game I play. I just want to make
Speaker 4: sure I gave it my all. And you know, I
Speaker 4: go to sleep easy at night knowing that.
Speaker 8: So what do you think you've learned most about yourself?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that you know I'm here for a reason. Like
Speaker 4: I said kind of earlier, I'm here for a reason,
Speaker 4: and I could be the most dominant player I want
Speaker 4: to be at offensive tackle, and you know, my goal
Speaker 4: is to try to help this team get as many
Speaker 4: wins possible and help guys like Lamar Derek Mark win
Speaker 4: that Super Bowl they all been chasing because they laid
Speaker 4: the groundworks for this organization and you know, I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: Everything I can to help that happen.
Speaker 7: Did it feel like a launching pad kind of season
Speaker 7: for you?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean for sure, I think my first snap
Speaker 4: kind of started off low and you know, kind of
Speaker 4: just accelerated from there.
Speaker 2: So you know, it's been It's been a really good
Speaker 2: season for me.
Speaker 4: You know, I want to make sure I built in
Speaker 4: got better weekend week out.
Speaker 7: So yeah, just a technical question for you. Do you
Speaker 7: feel like right tackle? You just focused this off season
Speaker 7: right tackle, right tackle, right tackle? Or is there any
Speaker 7: prospects that you think, Hey, if they wanted me to
Speaker 7: play left tackle next year or try it, that you could.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think a lot of that will
Speaker 4: come down on you know, what decisions being made in
Speaker 4: the off season that kind of earned on my hands,
Speaker 4: you know, gott Willing. I hope we keep Ronnie, Like
Speaker 4: I said, those aren't in my hands. But Ronnie played
Speaker 4: like an All Pro this year. In my opinion, I
Speaker 4: think you should have been a Pro bowler. Played his
Speaker 4: ass off all year. And you know, whether if that
Speaker 4: means me go to left tackle or wherever happens, you know,
Speaker 4: I'm willing to do whatever.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Dave Flowers talk with the media. He was
Speaker 1: unable to play in the two playoff games after injuring
Speaker 1: his knee in the regular season finale, disappointing way for
Speaker 1: his season, and he talked about the lessons of this
Speaker 1: season and his mentality moving forward.
Speaker 3: What would be the key to overcome another year very
Speaker 3: similar like the last one.
Speaker 10: No, we got turnovers, so we gotta shot the turnovers.
Speaker 10: We gotta we gotta get better at that in the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Say just how difficult was it to not be able
Speaker 2: to play?
Speaker 1: I mean, you had a great season, make the Pro Bowl,
Speaker 1: and just to not be available.
Speaker 10: For these postseason you get some tough Wasn't no killing
Speaker 10: me for show a lot. I want to be out
Speaker 10: there every game. I want to be I want to
Speaker 10: go through everything they go through. So not being out
Speaker 10: there it took a little toll on me just to
Speaker 10: watch that and not be able to participate and do
Speaker 10: what I wanted to do and help the team.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like you were gonna have a good
Speaker 3: chance in Kansas City if you guys advanced.
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like I was gonna have a better
Speaker 10: chance to play.
Speaker 7: You feel sure that's something that you gotta carry into
Speaker 7: the offseason as as mitigation.
Speaker 10: Uh, definitely, cause you you wanna play your last game.
Speaker 10: You wanna play every game, so not being able to
Speaker 10: play that that that it'll mess with me a little bit.
Speaker 3: Do you hope that most of this group gets to
Speaker 3: come back together and take another shot out at it from.
Speaker 2: Coaches on down? Yeah, I wish.
Speaker 10: I wish the whole grou would come back and these
Speaker 10: these are the guys, these my guys, so why not
Speaker 10: why not take another cry?
Speaker 1: Lamar was a vocal post game.
Speaker 8: You know, turnovers kind of were the end result in
Speaker 8: this one.
Speaker 6: What do you say to guys like him, the guys
Speaker 6: like Mark that kind of have those moments unfortunately.
Speaker 2: Fall to them.
Speaker 10: I mean, I mean, you go the whole season and
Speaker 10: Lamar do what he do, run around the backfield and
Speaker 10: make plays, and then everybody like, oh he great, he this,
Speaker 10: he that, and then he mess up one time and
Speaker 10: then now it's nah n I everybody don't want him
Speaker 10: to do what he do. Just like Mark, he catch everything.
Speaker 10: He dropped one, he dropped two. The I mean, it's football,
Speaker 10: so sometimes it happened, Ye.
Speaker 5: Tay, what was the message y'ah from the coach and
Speaker 5: made that?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 10: He told us he proud of us. He told her
Speaker 10: he probably everything we went through, ups and down. So
Speaker 10: i'm'a just take it like that.
Speaker 7: So yeah, Todd Todd stealing has head coaching interviews that's
Speaker 7: interested in just how big a loss would it be
Speaker 7: if if Todd were to depart.
Speaker 10: I mean, we had we had a top two, top
Speaker 10: three offense the past two two years since I've been here,
Speaker 10: So just learning another player, but that'd be crazy. But
Speaker 10: coach Market did a great job with us in and
Speaker 10: you know, if he take the job, then congrats.
Speaker 2: But we would like him. We like him. You know,
Speaker 2: Lamar's probably better than anybody here.
Speaker 11: Do you what do you think again, coming from a
Speaker 11: season like this, what he'll take and and go into
Speaker 11: that call?
Speaker 8: He mad?
Speaker 2: We mad?
Speaker 10: He mad for sure, like cause we know we know
Speaker 10: our team, we know what we supposed to do, and
Speaker 10: we know the only way that we we can't do
Speaker 10: what we want to is what we did yesterday.
Speaker 2: So I already know how you feeling.
Speaker 10: We already know how everybody feeling in so it ain't
Speaker 10: really much I can say because we already know.
Speaker 1: We also heard from running back Justice Hill the kind
Speaker 1: of process this day. I know, it's always difficult. How
Speaker 1: do you go about the emotions of this day?
Speaker 12: You know, it's only one team that's gonna be happy
Speaker 12: at the end of the season, So fortunately that's not us,
Speaker 12: and I mean kind of used to at this point.
Speaker 12: But we're just gonna regroup, go about it the same way,
Speaker 12: same mentality and work, putting the work from now till
Speaker 12: the kick off.
Speaker 8: Next season, go through the season and hope, hopefully we.
Speaker 12: Get another chance to win the thing.
Speaker 8: So yeah, how.
Speaker 1: Do you look at the season? Obviously there's a lot
Speaker 1: of good you want, want the division and want a
Speaker 1: playoff game at but it doesn't end the w you want.
Speaker 1: How do you look at the season on the whole?
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, it was a good year. I think for
Speaker 8: us it was a it was a really.
Speaker 12: Good developmental year two, just going through a lot of
Speaker 12: versity early on, fighting through adversity, fighting through being down
Speaker 12: and coming back and winning games, uh, something that we
Speaker 12: really I hadn't done that much since I've been here,
Speaker 12: and so I feel like it was a good building
Speaker 12: year for us, and that's gonna carry us since the
Speaker 12: next year. I mean, momentum has been set and we
Speaker 12: just gonna continue to build on that. Obviously, it's not
Speaker 12: gonna be the same team. We gonna lose people, we
Speaker 12: gonna gain some people, but with the culture that's set here, Uh,
Speaker 12: I'm excited about the future.
Speaker 7: That's It's just how much do you cross your fingers
Speaker 7: and hope that Todd Funkin is is still here. He's
Speaker 7: taking some head coaching interviews.
Speaker 12: Yeah, man, t Man, he's been a a great oc
Speaker 12: he He's putting guys in great situations, in great position
Speaker 12: to make plays, and uh P, it's really been fun
Speaker 12: to be a part of. Uh So, if if he
Speaker 12: gets a head coaching job, that's what coaches dream of,
Speaker 12: you know, just like players wanna have high accolades and
Speaker 12: make Pro Bowls and it be Hall of famers, uh,
Speaker 12: coaches wanna be head coaches one day.
Speaker 8: And so if he gets the opportunity, i'm'a be out
Speaker 8: for 'em.
Speaker 7: Huh. How much adds to kind of the disappointment that
Speaker 7: you know, you didn't get another shot at the Chiefs.
Speaker 7: How how bad did you guys want that shot to do?
Speaker 12: I mean, you just wanna go to super Bowl and
Speaker 12: if they were in a way, uh, we would have
Speaker 12: to get through 'em, and I'll be.
Speaker 8: An excited whoever we played to get to a super Bowl.
Speaker 12: So unfortunately it's not the case, but uh we'll try
Speaker 12: to get next year.
Speaker 7: For you, you know, a big season for you, career
Speaker 7: highs really across the board.
Speaker 8: Just what did this do for you individually?
Speaker 12: M I I mean it's something that I knew I
Speaker 12: could do this entire time, and so at definitely the
Speaker 12: beginning of my.
Speaker 8: Career was very frustrated not being able to get the opportunities.
Speaker 8: And so.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I'm right where I need to be,
Speaker 12: doing the things I wanna do and doing the things
Speaker 12: that I know I can, and so I'm just gonna
Speaker 12: continue to prove on those things and uh do what
Speaker 12: I uh do whatever I can do to help a
Speaker 12: team with.
Speaker 7: How how how confident are you that Thereck Henry could
Speaker 7: have another season next year like you had this season.
Speaker 12: I mean, it's the greatest running back, the one of
Speaker 12: the eer to ever played for real, So, uh, very confident.
Speaker 12: I don't think they'll go ever have a drop off.
Speaker 12: And if he ever feels himself there, I don't think
Speaker 12: he would play. But if he feels strong and which
Speaker 12: he is, probably the best he's felt in his career,
Speaker 12: Like uh, I expect him to have even better year
Speaker 12: next year.
Speaker 6: Justice, We know how good of a team you guys are.
Speaker 6: You all you're always having these these great regular season
Speaker 6: Why do you think you guys haven't been able to
Speaker 6: kind of get where you wanna be and change.
Speaker 12: Your work s. You just gotta make the plays when
Speaker 12: the players are there to be made. And uh, yeah, well,
Speaker 12: in the last couple of years, we've turned the ball
Speaker 12: over and we just hadn't been able to play those
Speaker 12: perfect games that you need to play in the playoffs
Speaker 12: to win. We're definitely capable of playing those games and
Speaker 12: winning those games, and we just been falling short. And uh,
Speaker 12: we just got to get cheer and learn from those
Speaker 12: mistakes that we've made, and I mean we've made lots
Speaker 12: of 'em in the last couple of years, but to
Speaker 12: kind of eliminate the those in the future, and if
Speaker 12: we eliminate turnovers, I mean, I don't think it really
Speaker 12: any team that can hangle us. And so yeah, we
Speaker 12: just got to focus on that next year and then
Speaker 12: move forward.
Speaker 5: It get harder, easier, is the same, like every year
Speaker 5: to come back from, you know, a disappointment like.
Speaker 12: That, Harder, easier, the same, I guess. I mean, I
Speaker 12: guess it would be getting an article like the more
Speaker 12: you go through it, if it's just more frustrating, I
Speaker 12: would say than anything. But uh, I mean, the only
Speaker 12: one team wins at the end of the year, you know,
Speaker 12: So it's thirty thirty one other teams with the same
Speaker 12: exact feeling, and so, uh, we're just gonna continue to
Speaker 12: do the things that we can to improve as a
Speaker 12: team overall and make sure that we're that one happy team.
Speaker 8: At the at the end of the year.
Speaker 1: So and lastly, we hear from offensive lineman Patrick McCarry
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 4: A you know, a day later to do the kind
Speaker 4: of the feelings still linger from from that game.
Speaker 11: Yeah, still sucks, have to move on, right, but it's
Speaker 11: okay that a lot of sings for a little bit.
Speaker 1: That's part of it.
Speaker 2: How long it will it take you to get work.
Speaker 11: I don't know, day at a time. The hopefully quite
Speaker 11: h doesn't help help.
Speaker 3: It been around since you know, n nineteen, when you
Speaker 3: guys have had such good teams in the regular season
Speaker 3: to to keep getting this close but not break 'em
Speaker 3: through the way you wanna me to help.
Speaker 11: How frustrate seven? It's tough. Uh, there's only one winner
Speaker 11: at the end of it, so not being that one,
Speaker 11: it's tough, but thirty one teams go through that and
Speaker 11: that's part of it. It's tough to make it this
Speaker 11: far and not get to the super Bowl.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 11: But either way, we got an uh get another opportunity
Speaker 11: next year to do it again. So hope for a
Speaker 11: better outcome LA next year.
Speaker 8: That's you.
Speaker 4: You've always been out of a play here and play
Speaker 4: there guy blove on the way you feel.
Speaker 2: Like you showed about your solo season and kind of
Speaker 2: by the starting role.
Speaker 11: Uh, I don't know I could keep doing it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 11: I hope that I showed that.
Speaker 2: Still.
Speaker 7: How do you put get over and saw some wine
Speaker 7: there is that?
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's just from your maybe a couple bottles that
Speaker 11: would be good.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know. You gotta move on, just get
Speaker 11: to work again and put everything in perspective and keep going.
Speaker 2: Have you have you thought about your future and and
Speaker 2: the not lots here? Not yet?
Speaker 11: I hope, I hope me here, I don't know, not yet, Patrick.
Speaker 6: H even you know, like you said, it's only one winner.
Speaker 8: But does it make it tough.
Speaker 6: To still look at cause you guys had a great
Speaker 6: regular season and everything that do you still kind of
Speaker 6: as a successful year?
Speaker 8: How do you equate it? Yeah?
Speaker 11: I mean we had throughout the year. There's a lot
Speaker 11: of opsers, a lot of downs. Uh. Right now, it's
Speaker 11: easy to focus on the negatives because we didn't get
Speaker 11: what we wanted.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 11: But I think as the days go on, you look back,
Speaker 11: you said, we did we did a lot of good stuff.
Speaker 11: It's not to where we want to be and hoping
Speaker 11: for a better outcome next year, but we did some
Speaker 11: special things this year, and we'll remember that.
