00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The date is Thursday,

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,040
Speaker 1: November sixth, and today, after practice ahead of the Week

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: ten matchup in Minnesota, we heard from the Ravens coordinators

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,840
Speaker 1: Todd Monkin, Zach Orr, and Chris Wharton, as well as

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: veteran running back Derek Henry and inside linebacker Ropewan Smith.

6
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: First up on Ravens Press Pass Podcast, you'll hear from

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Todd Munkin's.

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: Fund our stretch today play.

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 3: On an offense because of things they like to do

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 3: with the creativity.

11
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean you hit on the head, very aggressive,

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 4: do a really good job of challenging your protections, your

13
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 4: IDs in your run game, your edge mechanics.

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 5: So it'll be a real challenge for us.

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 6: Todd, I think bank Gangles only played three games for them,

16
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 6: But what does he do to kind of unlock the stuff.

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Out that color is good at.

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 4: Very versatile player, I mean, can pass rush, can play

19
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 4: off the ball, on the ball. His initial quickness is

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 4: something that to me stands out. Really smart player. Obviously

21
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 4: they had him in Miami and it's a good sign

22
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 4: when when the head coach of Miami wants him, is

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 4: the de coordinator in Minnesota.

24
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 5: It's a good sign. As a player, Lamar's been really good.

25
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 3: Guess this year really the past couple of years. Obviously,

26
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: every game is different as so it's differing.

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: Why are you what is your particular in your kid?

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: He stood out beast? Why want it's really good?

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 4: To get it's it's always a number of factors. I

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 4: think we've continued to do it better. I think we've

31
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: worked on getting the ball out. I think our coaches

32
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: have worked awfully hard at making sure we have built

33
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: in places to go with the ball, and Lamar's worked

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 4: awfully hard and understanding, uh, the concepts that we were on.

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: What we're seeing, what does that mean to us? And

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: where do we go with the ball? Where's our issue

37
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: and protection.

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 5: Prod?

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: Have You've seen enough from every Jones to suggested he's

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: getting help you with.

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 5: Some point relatively at some point, I'm excited.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 4: I mean, he's worked awfully hard to get back from

43
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: what I sees everything we hoped he'd be at this point.

44
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: You know, when you don't go through training camp and

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: you only have one day in pads, that's really hard

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 4: to say. But he's diligent, He's tough, he's a raven.

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 5: I mean you can see that. I mean he fits here.

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: Have you guys narrowed down in what position that he

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 3: might be best served at.

50
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 5: This I don't think we've narrowed that down yet.

51
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: I don't think we've done anything like that, But we

52
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: have been playing him in a couple of positions just

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 4: to get him comfortable.

54
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 6: Just knowing what Isaiah's gotten through with the injuries and

55
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 6: a little study.

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: To get back when much excited to that kind of

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: stuff last year.

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's.

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: Disappointed for him at the beginning of the year to

60
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: not be able to play, to get hurt in training camp,

61
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: but for him to come back and I think he's

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 4: only continued to progress.

63
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 5: I mean you can see that with every week.

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 6: Mark Andrews is approaching another of the franchise record.

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: What can you say about the way he's.

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 7: Kind of involved with his role on this offense and

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 7: the way they do still.

68
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 4: Intends well, he's a warrior. I mean, the guy loves football.

69
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 4: Just watch him warm up. He competes in warm ups,

70
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 4: He grunts and warm ups. I mean he's in a

71
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: rare category of guys I've been around that is tough

72
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: practices his rear end off and it shows up in

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 4: the game. I mean, he just he's a warrior coach.

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 8: Clean injury report today, just kind of what does that

75
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 8: mean for the team to the second half.

76
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 9: Of the season.

77
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: Oh, it's it's always a good thing when you have

78
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 4: a clean injury report. Just the way it is. Guys

79
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: are able to practice at a high speed. Guys you

80
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 4: can count on in the games and you can game

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 4: plan around.

82
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: Nott of.

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 6: I think Minnesota's the top of the league, and like

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 6: for a league, down flits rate is anything that they

85
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 6: do just put that pressure.

86
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: Remind you kind of what you see from Pittsburgh over

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: the years.

88
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: Similar. I that's a good comparison.

89
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: I mean, they're gonna challenge you in more ways than most.

90
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: I think Miami was was a good test for us

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 4: because they were similar, you know, not as extreme.

92
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 5: And I don't mean extreme in a negative way. I

93
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: mean that in a good way.

94
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 4: But it was a good start for us getting ready

95
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: for this team that's gonna really challenge us. And they've

96
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 4: got good players and a great scheme and a good

97
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: coaching staff, and that shows up. That usually shows up

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 4: in statistics. You know, when you're playing at a very

99
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 4: high level. So it'll be a real challenge for us.

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: But I mean every week is a challenge in terms

101
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 4: of scheme and the players you go against. So we're

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 4: excited about the opportunity.

103
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 7: Which has been made of the noise and never I know,

104
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 7: you guys are pressing the suniversity.

105
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 5: Does that really affect your operations?

106
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: It's something they have to account for.

107
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: It does if you let it.

108
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: I mean it does if you know you're not prepared,

109
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: get the play call in, communicate in the huddle, get

110
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 4: up to the line of scrimmage, fight like hill.

111
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 5: To give them nothing. And what I mean by nothing.

112
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: Is you know, no turnovers, no penalties, no false starts, right,

113
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 4: nothing that allows them to gain momentum and put you

114
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: behind the sticks.

115
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: Of different dynamic. You tight end basically for the counterpil

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: veterans who.

117
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 5: Are in contracts.

118
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: You know, how do you see those guys playing off

119
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: each other and just the unselfishness they have and you

120
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 3: just public the dynamic.

121
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: Well, they've been here all three years that I've been here,

122
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 4: and they've been unselfish in all three years I've been here,

123
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: been team guys.

124
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean.

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 4: They're not disappointed when they don't get opportunities. That's the

126
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: nature of skill players. They want they want the football.

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 4: They wanted a let their h you know, skill set shine,

128
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 4: but that has not stood in the way of them

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: thinking team first. And uh, they're all gonna get their

130
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 4: opportunity somewhere down the road.

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 5: Uh. But they've been great for us.

132
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean they're a huge part and what

133
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 4: we've been able to accomplish here offensively.

134
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,559
Speaker 5: All Right, thank you guys.

135
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: That was offensive coordinator Todd Monkin answering questions before the

136
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: Ravens face the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Now you'll hear

137
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 1: from defensive coordinator.

138
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 10: Zach or.

139
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 9: Shoot.

140
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 11: Man.

141
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 9: He's a physical player. He plays hard.

142
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 12: Love his versatility, man, I mean he came in as

143
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 12: an interior guy. I think that, you know, his ability

144
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 12: to really kick out on the edge and continue to

145
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 12: hold his power and show his athleticism is a testament

146
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 12: to his hard work. But I love his versatility man

147
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 12: in the run game, in the past game. A guy

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 12: who can play across the line of scrimmage for so

149
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 12: I'm excited to see him Sunday.

150
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 9: He's had a great couple of days of practice since.

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 2: He's been clear that one of you guys.

152
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 9: Nah, I didn't. I did. I didn't ask him to shoot.

153
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 9: I've seen this.

154
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 12: I seen this film, and I felt like if if

155
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 12: something was alarming, he people to hit me up. So Nah,

156
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 12: the film, the film was good enough for me, and

157
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 12: meeting meeting Draymond was good enough for me.

158
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 3: For dread as an interior rusher for for Tennessee. Is

159
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: that just like the.

160
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 6: Situation where you got lined him up for exactly.

161
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: The other guys.

162
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think that.

163
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 12: You know, I don't know exactly what their plan was

164
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 12: in Tennessee, but I think they had to do what

165
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 12: they had to do to to generate pressure. He did

166
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 12: line up on the edge primarily, but he lined up

167
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 12: a little bit as an interior guy.

168
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 9: I think for us it's uh.

169
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 12: The good thing by versatility is we could hunt matchups,

170
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 12: you know, the best matchup that suits him that's gonna

171
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 12: help us out as a defense. We can line up

172
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 12: on the edge and interior. But I anticipate him he'll

173
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 12: line up more in the interior for us than he

174
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 12: did in Tennessee.

175
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 10: The year.

176
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 6: But when you acquire a player of midweek and you

177
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 6: expect he's gonna play fairly prominent.

178
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: How does that impact your preparation, your game.

179
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 3: Plan on when you streamline some things here and there.

180
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, definitely, man.

181
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 12: I think it's good about both of these acquisitions happened

182
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 12: at least earlier in the week where we were able

183
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 12: to have a full day of game plan and go

184
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 12: and adjust. And both of the guys we acquired they

185
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 12: come from similar systems, so the verbiage is a lot

186
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 12: of a lot of carryover, so that that helps the

187
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 12: the transition phase a lot, and then we just see

188
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 12: how much they can handle and you know, go from there.

189
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 12: If they can handle a lot, then shoot, they'll be

190
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 12: out there a lot. And although he was able to

191
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 12: do that, and Draymond, like I said, he came in

192
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,959
Speaker 12: been practicing ing and been running you know, the defense

193
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 12: really well, so he'll be out there a lot as well.

194
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: That kind of you from here talent like justin Jefferson.

195
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, man, I mean he's definitely talented, arguably the best

196
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 12: receiver in the league, and.

197
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 9: They do a good job of finding ways to get

198
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 9: him the football.

199
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,439
Speaker 12: You know, they they've seen every type of coverage you

200
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 12: can run at him, so we just got to mix

201
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 12: it up man, not not let him get a beat

202
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 12: on what we're doing, not let him wreck the game.

203
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 9: Make sure we always have awareness where he's at.

204
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 12: And then you know, also it goes hand in hand

205
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 12: with the rush as well, so we gotta get some

206
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 12: pressure on this quarterback so he doesn't have time to

207
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 12: sit back there and and find Justin Jefferson all day.

208
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 12: So it's definitely gonna be a challenge for us. Our

209
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 12: guys are are looking forward to it, and uh, we

210
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 12: definitely have to have awareness of where he's at at

211
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 12: all times. On Sunday talking about how necessarily have.

212
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: A lot of expectitions for.

213
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 9: First thing, shout out to to CJ.

214
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 4: Man.

215
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 12: He since he's been here, the trend information he's made

216
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 12: as a football player in the in the classroom has

217
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 12: been tremendous, So you got to give him credit first.

218
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 12: And then I think that's the person you have your

219
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 12: credit nest next to is Dennis Johnson Man.

220
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 9: CJ will tell you that shoot c J.

221
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 12: Dennis brings that fire every single every single day at

222
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 12: practice and individual.

223
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 9: Drills, so he's always on CJ and in a good way.

224
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 12: So he was prepared for his moment when he got it,

225
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 12: and it was really nice to see what he did

226
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 12: in the preseason carry over to what he's been able

227
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 12: to do for us so far this year in the

228
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 12: regular season, and he's continued to get better. Man, Like

229
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 12: you think about a guy, I want to say, three

230
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 12: years ago who never played football before and now he

231
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 12: is in the National Football League going against the best

232
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 12: players in the world.

233
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 9: I mean, you talk about a whole complete three man,

234
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 9: it's crazy. So, uh, he's done a good job.

235
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Man.

236
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 12: I think that is just it's his work ethic that's

237
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 12: led him to do what he's been able to do. Yeah,

238
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 12: I mean, I think he just got to keep working.

239
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 12: He's been doing a good job out here at practice.

240
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 12: Right now, where we're at.

241
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 9: As a defense, he's just behind some of the guys

242
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 9: right now.

243
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 12: We need some bigger bodies in there, and you know,

244
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 12: Fubb will get his opportunity and he'll make the most

245
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 12: of it. He's you got any of our offensive guys

246
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 12: and guys in practice, of who's one of the toughest

247
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 12: guys the go against in practice, who brings it every

248
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 12: day with with their work ethic and their mindset, It's

249
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 12: it's Fubb. So right now, just what we got to

250
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 12: do from from a defensive standpoint. He's just behind a

251
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 12: couple of guys. I don't think it's a knock to him.

252
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 12: It's just what we got to do right now.

253
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: Pressure just like you feel like the next guy to

254
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: do obvious.

255
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 12: Yeah, I definitely believe that interior pressure is everything when

256
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 12: it comes to pressure in the quarterback, because you can

257
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 12: win cleanly on the edge, but if the quarterback is

258
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 12: able just to step up, then your your rush on

259
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 12: the edge means you know nothing and in reality, so

260
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 12: interior push. You asked probably any quarterback in the league.

261
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 12: They don't like when the pockets getting pushed in their

262
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 12: face and they can't step up and move around. So

263
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,439
Speaker 12: interior pressure is key, and I think that's what was

264
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 12: a key that Matty b k was able to do

265
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 12: for us. He wrecked so much havoc push in the

266
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 12: pocket causing disruption. He got a lot of sacks, but

267
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 12: he caused a lot of people to get other sacks

268
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 12: as well, where the quarterback can't step up and now

269
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 12: he just stepping into the edge guy. So dre Mint

270
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 12: is gonna be able to add to that for us,

271
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 12: which is good. Yeah, I think he's close, man, He's

272
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 12: he's looking good. We've been throwing him out there, he's

273
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 12: picking up the playbook. It's just a kind of a

274
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 12: totally different system for him. He's kind of been more

275
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 12: in the four to three up the field type defenses.

276
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 12: Uh recently we're a little bit different, but he definitely

277
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 12: still has juice left and we just continue to ramp

278
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 12: him up and she was his opportunities coming soon as well.

279
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 2: Games kind of the key to get that.

280
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that it's it's it's the mindset approach

281
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 12: that you know, no matter what it goes on is

282
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 12: to move on to the next play. And I I

283
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 12: love the mindset that our guys have right now. They

284
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 12: took ownership of that. They're going out there playing, playing

285
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 12: to play the moving on to the next play. We've

286
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 12: had teams move the ball into the red zone. We've

287
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 12: been able to uh get teams off the field in

288
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 12: the red zone, whether it hold 'em to the field

289
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 12: goals or get takeaways or or get foreign get fourth

290
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 12: down stops.

291
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 9: So I think that's key.

292
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 12: And then the major thing is is is getting the

293
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 12: football man getting the football. We been able to take

294
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 12: the ball away. That's the most important thing. So we

295
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 12: have to keep that going. It's a lot of things

296
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 12: that we can continue to improve on. So it's good

297
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 12: to see that the hard work is starting to pay off,

298
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 12: but there's still more work to do for sure.

299
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 8: Does that relieve you guys?

300
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Nope?

301
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 9: Nah, man, you know, we we understand where we're at.

302
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

303
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 12: We've dug ourselves in a deep hole and we got

304
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 12: to keep digging ourselves out of it. And we got

305
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 12: a long way to go. So you know, we're just

306
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 12: now getting where we need to be at, but there's

307
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 12: a long way to go as well.

308
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:17,719

00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 8: good some really good football. We're just looking forward to

317
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 8: continue to do that. Uh, And we do that by

318
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 8: just making sure we come out here man, and we

319
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 8: put our best foot forward like we've been doing it

320
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 8: just try to get better at the little smallest little

321
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 8: details possibly can sol we go out on Sundays, man,

322
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 8: we can we can play our best football questions.

323
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: That's what do you notice about the insistency at Jordan's

324
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 3: South on this year?

325
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 7: Very?

326
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,479
Speaker 4: I guess the nastas historic world products.

327
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 8: You know, it's just it's just night and day, right.

328
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 8: I mean I think sometimes you know, with with with

329
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 8: players and and and and for Jordan, you know, he

330
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 8: came in he's following Sam, right, and everybody knew Sam.

331
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 5: You know, Sam was.

332
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 8: Really good at at at at what he did, and

333
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 8: Jordan was talented, uh, and that and we just had

334
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 8: to get that talent out of him. And sometimes that

335
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 8: take a little bit of time. And uh and right now,

336
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 8: I mean he's having these past few games, man, he

337
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 8: has punted. He has punted well, and uh, you know,

338
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 8: and that's what it takes. Uh, his job is required

339
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 8: to flip the field. I think against my animal, we

340
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 8: had four four punts inside the twenty yard line, you know.

341
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 8: And so he's doing some really good things for us,

342
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 8: and he's developed a lot of a lot of different punts, right,

343
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 8: and so we got him to a point where we

344
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 8: can continue to do these things and uh, we're gonna

345
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 8: utilize them. So just just cantinue to grow. I think

346
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 8: that's the that's the biggest thing. Uh, every week and

347
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 8: every pun is different, but he has grown and he's

348
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 8: shown a lot of improvement.

349
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 6: Chris than Henry Jacks players five special teams, got just

350
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 6: three games.

351
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 8: Head teas, how do you use So we're a balance.

352
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 6: Not wanting to take his aggressive missed out and how

353
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 6: art physically he is playing with art and be a.

354
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: Little love distas.

355
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 8: Uh, Jeff, I think it's just understanding, right. I think

356
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 8: with with KeAndre, this dude loves playing football. I mean

357
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 8: I think if you guys, you guys channing on that

358
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 8: tape and you watch him play, uh, he is a

359
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 8: he's an impactful player in our in our phase of

360
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 8: the game. And so so you don't as a coach,

361
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 8: you don't want to take that away from him, right

362
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 8: because he's very prideful about how he plays and what

363
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 8: he puts on tape. But as we continue to move forward,

364
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 8: you know, it's it's my job, you know, as his coach,

365
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 8: to help him understand you you play to a certain

366
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 8: level and there's a certain edge that you can play

367
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 8: to and then you have to be able to control

368
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 8: yourself and come out of that when you find yourself

369
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 8: and compromise the situations. We'll get him there because he

370
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 8: understands that. You know, we pride ourselves on not having penalties.

371
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 8: You can't survive in this league when you give up

372
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 8: field position because of penalties. So, uh, we're getting him there.

373
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 8: We're gonna we're gonna work on it. We're just gonna

374
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 8: encourage him to keep playing the way he's playing. And

375
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 8: then it's it's it's again, it's my job to help

376
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 8: him understand where's that where's that edge? We don't want

377
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 8: to go over that edge because those were resulting penalties.

378
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 6: That's the guy you saw in the pre draft process

379
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 6: that you went to kind of the scouts and coaches

380
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,439
Speaker 6: and said, you know, if you give him the care and.

381
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: Bring in a guy to special teams, this is one

382
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 2: a guy.

383
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 8: Well, to be fair, I didn't, I didn't. I didn't

384
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 8: even I didn't even watch him. I just know when

385
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 8: when they brought the guy in, they brought him up.

386
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 8: He's got size, he's got speed, and that stuff showed right,

387
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 8: those are the traits we look for. And there's a

388
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 8: bunch of other scouts and coaches that that did that.

389
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 8: And so when he came in and he started practicing,

390
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 8: you know, we just knew it was gonna probably be

391
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 8: a matter of time before we get him playing the

392
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 8: type of football we want to play, because he's got

393
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 8: all the traits. And then and now he's playing the

394
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 8: way he's playing, we want to make sure we keep

395
00:17:59,080 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 8: that going.

396
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: Think of his flip, did you coach that them?

397
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 8: Also, I can't do any backflips, So I mean it's guys,

398
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 8: very athletic man, very talented player. Uh, you know, and

399
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 8: just again like it's just those things, right. He gets

400
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 8: so excited by just going out there and just making plays,

401
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 8: and you should be right. That energy feeds and it

402
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 8: goes across our team and and and so when you

403
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 8: do those things, man, you just keep encouraging them and

404
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 8: tell them if you're gonna flip, make sure you stick

405
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 8: to landing.

406
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 6: I know you can only speak to you the operation

407
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 6: here in Baltimore, but seeing what Seattle I think they

408
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 6: do on.

409
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 3: Their kick kick coverage with like a couple of three

410
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 3: hundred pounders in the middle. If you think we'll see

411
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: teams you know, kind of operate off for more size

412
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: than than speed just because of what you can kind

413
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 3: of get advantage wise there.

414
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 8: I think there's a there's a time and place for it.

415
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 8: I think it all depends on where you play the

416
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 8: ball and probably who you're playing against. Right from a

417
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 8: matchup standpoint, I think, you know, obviously, for us, I

418
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 8: think just the kind of the way we play, it's

419
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 8: a little bit different. But I mean that's not the

420
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 8: first team that I've seen have a bigger guy out there.

421
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 8: I know Minnesota has some bigger guys out there as well,

422
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 8: So I think it all just depends on how you

423
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 8: want to play the game in which you think those

424
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 8: guys can do.

425
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 4: First of all, a lot has been made about the

426
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 4: oise level and UIST Bank Stadium.

427
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 7: But in addition to especially given if it's a day games.

428
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 6: Just as the shadows and light hopefully that building mark.

429
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 7: Is that a composition, Alo Tyler?

430
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 8: Is it just more selfista guys on bigger I think

431
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 8: it's one of those things because none of those guys

432
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 8: I've ever been there. I think it's one of those things. Well,

433
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 8: we'll talk about during the pregame, But for us as man,

434
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 8: just trust our process, go out there and do what

435
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 8: we do.

436
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 10: Football fans know that traditions matter. They're what inspire us

437

Speaker 7: to where you guys wanted to be.

Speaker 11: But we know we gotta prepare uh through through the

476
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,159

479
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: We do that in a game.

480
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 10: How do you you prepare knowing that the the Vikings

481
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 10: are probably gonna you know, stack the box and play

482
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 10: you similar like the Chiefs and the line just because

483
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 10: it works so well.

484
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 4: So how do you prepare against the Vikings.

485
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,440

486
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,120
Speaker 13: you the same way?

487
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:07,560

488
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 11: keep watching film, study and you do the things that

489
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 11: you know you do throughout the loop and playing the defense,

490
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 11: and they they do a lot different looks.

491
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: They good defense. So you got to prepare.

492
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 13: Mark Mark Andrews, you know eighteen yards Shire set the

493
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 13: franchise record for receiving yards. Yeah, for him to play

494
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 13: as well as he was playing at your touchdowns last week,

495
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 13: coming back from any of the last season, you see

496
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 13: him getting ready.

497
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 5: And go on, is that getting is to him to

498
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,160

500
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 13: I tended to for him to get that record, and

501
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 13: I know that that's not his main focus, but you

502
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,000

503

Speaker 7: with his feet and he tries to stay alive a

585
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:53,720

588
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 7: and that's what it's gonna come down to play in

589
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 7: and play out out, UH and playing through the air

590
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 7: quod to whistle as we do. So that's what it's

591
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 7: gonna be about, is playing and simple.

592
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 13: Are you sure about with a lot of those your

593
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 13: teammates that have not played in this this stadium, what

594
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 13: they're informed.

595
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, well a lot of guys have played a lot

596
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 7: of ball throughout the UH there, the league and as

597
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 7: well in college. So yeah, I got a great deal

598
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 7: of respect for the UH fans out of Minnesota. As

599
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 7: I remember UH being there years ago. It does get

600
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 7: loud in there, but you know, it only as loud

601
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 7: as you allowed to be, especially from a defensive perspective.

602
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 7: So that's what it's about, controlling what we do and

603
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 7: UH forcing what we do.

604
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: Is that the defensive mindset going into a city like

605
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: this that if if you can shut.

606
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 13: Down their offense, it's gonna get a lot quieter.

607
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's any place should go to it

608
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 7: if you're the home team and the home team is

609
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 7: not doing so well, then fans team to get quiet.

610
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: I think that's just human nature.

611
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: You know what's working so well, take away the parts

612
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: and use.

613
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: How can you bettain that that's what you're gon do.

614
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know they say takeaways coming bunches. Granted I

615
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 7: did drop one, so that didn't help the bunch, but yeah,

616
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 7: it was it. Yeah, it's just something that's been a

617
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 7: focal point for our defense, and it's about just going

618
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 7: out and coach has been harping on it day in

619
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 7: and day out. Player's been harping on it as well,

620
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 7: So it's about just carrying it over into Sunday.

621
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 5: And we know that.

622
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 2: Takeaways help win games.

623
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 7: And if we continue to do that well, like our

624
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 7: chances in each and every game we play, and keep

625
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 7: getting the ball back in the offense hands Lamar Hans

626
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 7: and knowing what he can.

627
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 2: Do with it.

628
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 5: You'all a drug jetpo ye'all need to be on a Fand.

629
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 7: Coach was throwing me rockets out there at practice as well,

630
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 7: so it was it was one of them things. But

631
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 7: nobody could beat me up more than I could beat

632
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 7: myself up for that one, like I probably would have

633
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 7: got caught by I got number six anyway, but still

634
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 7: it would have been a nice, nice pick to have

635
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 7: in the books. I don't think I'll ever drop one

636
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 7: like that, but until then, so I did.

637
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 4: Mark Andrews is eighteen yards away from another impressive franchise record.

638
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 13: Here, Just how much respect do you have for his

639
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 13: game and his work ethic.

640
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 2: To be ready for game day? Yeah? Absolutely, Mark's been

641
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: around the game for a while.

642
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 7: I remember even going against Mark uh out of Oklahoma,

643
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: even though we kicked his in the Rose Bowl, But

644
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 7: I remember Dan like knowing about marking like, yeah, this

645
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 7: guy's gonna be a good player. And then since I

646
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 7: came into the league always have seen him and Lamar

647
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 7: like just making things happen out of nothing sometimes. So, yeah,

648
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 7: he's a great player, great pro, good dude and excited

649
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 7: for him.

650
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: But I'm sure he's not focused on that.

651
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 7: I'm sure he's focused on going out being the best

652
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 7: teammate he can be and for us to get the

653
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 7: dub by any means of whatever job he has to

654
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 7: do so regardless of the yards. But hats off to

655
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,919
Speaker 7: him and when he does get it, like that's an awesome,
