1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Forget this player's only section. Listen, I am a player 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: at heart still. Okay, I might not be on the field. 3 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: You guys might not classify me as a player, but 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: I walk in there, I see players only. That doesn't 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: do anything for me. I'm walking right up there. I'm 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: taking whatever I want. Well, one thing I have noticed 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: stepping into this new role. Coaches won't really talk to 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: you anymore. Would you say that it's been harder than 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: you expected? And is it given you newfound respect for 10 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: what Garrett and I do. So it is harder, and 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: I guess different than what I expected. I still have 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: zero respect from what Welcome into the lounge. We are 13 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: back in the States. We are after a fantastic trip 14 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: to London. The game, you know, it's just kind of 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: throw the game out. I don't really want to talk 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: about that, but I'd rather just talk about the time 17 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: that we had London, which was which was fantastic. I mean, 18 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: we saw when you walked around the streets of London, 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: it reminded me of the Super Bowl in New Orleans. 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: There was Ravens fans everywhere. We met so many interesting 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: people from literally all around the world. You know, people 22 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: from Germany and Italy and Portugal and London and in 23 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 1: the Netherlands, and I mean I'm probably leaving out a 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: few other countries. I mean, it was incredible to see 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: so many different fans that have a passion for this team. 26 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: Um that stay. And the other thing that's cool and 27 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: is knowing how many of them said that, like they 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: stay on top of Ravens news by listening to the podcast, 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: because that's one way that they have an opportunity to 30 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: get that information. You know, they can't turn on the 31 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,760 Speaker 1: TV and get Ravens coverage, but they can listen to 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: this podcast.

We were talking about that actually, like some 39 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: of the fans that we met and like they know 40 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: everybody man, you know the practice squaw, they know, well 41 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: they got more right on their fifty three man roster 42 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: predictions than you.

So, Dennis, 62 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: you are now the first third time podcast guests that 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: we've ever had. You are I think the first second 64 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: time because we got you on the phone to get 65 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: your take on when Joe was named the most attractive 66 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: player in the NFL. So now you're the first third 67 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: time guest we either we've ever had. So I gotta 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: we want to get into some questions, but I gotta 69 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: set this stage for you, Okay. So we were just 70 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: talking about how you're a big fan of all of 71 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: like the granola or X bars that we've gotten the 72 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: cafeteria here. So you go down there and you stuff 73 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: your pockets with them, which, okay, that's fine. You're blown 74 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: up a thief. So I don't know if you knew this. 75 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: So a couple of weeks ago, you were here and you're, 76 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: you know, surveying the r X bars that are down there. 77 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Next day, I promise you, the very next day, they 78 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: put up a bunch of signs in that area of 79 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: the cafeteria that said players only. Do you think that 80 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: was a subtle, not so subtle hit at you or 81 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: was that at us? What are you listening? I think 82 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: I took to r X bars last time I was. 83 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: And first of all, I saw the sign it was 84 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: already up, looked at it and said, I still am taking. 85 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: So no, they didn't put those signs up in response 86 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: to my taking a few. They were already there, and 87 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: I ignored them because I always see him down there, 88 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: and I, you know, you kind of check it out 89 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: and you've got to see who's watching because they're gonna 90 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's a camera in there right, I know, 91 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, security watching right into the camera. And I 92 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: waved to the camera, there's a good selection down there. 93 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: When I've had a bad day, sometimes I go down 94 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: there and I'm like, you know what, I'm having the 95 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: cashing bill today. I'm slowing myself. I don't care forget 96 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 1: this player's only section. Listen. I am a player at 97 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: heart still. Okay. I might not be on the field, 98 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: you guys might not classify me as a player, but 99 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 1: I walk in there, I see players only. That doesn't 100 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: do anything for me. I'm walking right up there. I'm 101 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: taking whatever I want. But you definitely have gotten a 102 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: little more like like common man since not playing football, 103 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: Because when I'm walking off the plane the other night 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: from London, I grabbed the freevie bag, that Virgin Atlantic catpories. 105 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: It was like a toiletry bag. Right now, I'm like, 106 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: scoring nice free bag. This is right behind you with 107 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: three of them. I had one. Okay, it was a 108 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 1: cool bag. Whether you're a football player or not, that's 109 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: a sweet bag to have. I was showing off to 110 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: my wifeflas night. Seriously, I probably had about a fifteen 111 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 1: minute conversation about how nice these bags were. I missed 112 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: the boat on this. What do they have be in there? Well, 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: it's not what they have in them. It's just nice. 114 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: It's like leather. It's nice. But I am a commoner. 115 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: I was the very last row of the entire I 116 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: was behind you guys. Yeah, that's a whole new load 117 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: for me. Oh, how the mighty have fallen? The what's 118 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: the what's the worst like transition? You know for you 119 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: like being a commoner? Like, what's the best example of 120 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: of the fall from grace? Is it the holiday that 121 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: you stay? I think that was rock bottom. So you 122 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: have the player hotel where the coaches and everybody stays. 123 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: This was in London, of course, and then about a 124 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: five minute walk, you know, down the road, you had 125 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: the holiday inn where the rest of us stayed, and 126 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: I was very much a part of the rest of 127 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: us grew and so you know, I got to eat 128 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: snack and everything, and the meals over at the nice hotel, 129 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: and then the players went up to their rooms or whatever, 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: and I took my nice little walk outside by myself 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: all the way back to my own hotel. Well, the 132 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: funny thing is some of the staff are still in 133 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: a nice hotel. It was like just a small It 134 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: was like a dozen or some of us that were 135 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: the overflow, like the bottom of the bottom. I see 136 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Dennis Born the bus with me. I'm like, oh wow, 137 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: that was not a nice welcome to how the other 138 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: half lives. Yeah. Yeah, So Dennis, just you're in the 139 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: radio booth for the last game of this season against 140 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steels, So we want to talk a little 141 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: bit about that. Just how much of you enjoyed this 142 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: whole broadcasting gig. I've liked it, and it's been something 143 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: that's obviously very new for me, something I had no 144 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: experience with going into it. Um, But it's been really fun. 145 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: It's been fun because I have been able to stay 146 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: a part of the organization, be around you know my 147 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: former teammates still be able to go to dinner with 148 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Joe and stuff like that, you know, and it's it's 149 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 1: been a ton of fun. Um, it's been difficult adjusting 150 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: to doing color commentary for the radio broadcast and something 151 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: that certainly takes time to get more and more comfortable with. 152 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: And you know, I feel like I'm starting to get 153 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable, and then this will be 154 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: my last game and I won't do it for the 155 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: rest of the season. So just when you think you're 156 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: starting to get a little bit better at it, you 157 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: know you're gonna have to have to stop. But it's 158 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: been a ton of fun and strange watching games from 159 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: that perspective. But I've enjoyed it. How has it been? 160 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: You know? One of the things that it's so unique 161 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: about you is that you're so close to his team, 162 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: like you're just removed from it. You were on the 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: field what six months ago, so you're still very much 164 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: in tune with what's happening. Hasn't been challenging it all to, 165 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: you know, to call it from an objective standpoint and 166 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: kind of talk about, like, you know, what's going on 167 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: behind the scenes with this team. But when you're a player, 168 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: you don't necessarily put all of that out there. Now 169 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: you're in the media to an extent, Like, how have 170 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: you balanced all of that? Yeah, it's difficult. It has 171 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: been difficult. And one thing I have noticed stepping into 172 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: this new role is coaches won't really talk to you anymore. Yeah. Yeah. 173 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: Greg Roman, who was my tight end coach the last 174 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, six months or whatever when I was when 175 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,599 Speaker 1: he came over, Um, he makes a joy and he 176 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: largely jokes, but I know there's seriousness and what he's saying. 177 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: He's like, no, I don't talk to your media. I 178 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: can't tell you anything. And you know he's joking and 179 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: having fun with it. But at the same time, that's 180 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: a player and coach perspective of the media. They understand 181 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: the job that the media has to present all the 182 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: information that they can gather and whatever a way they 183 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: can gather. And so the more that they talk, they 184 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: think they're talking to a friend or a former teammate 185 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: or a player. I mean, it makes it difficult for them. 186 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: So are the players the same way, Like do you 187 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: do you notice even Joe like he's like you can't 188 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: say that. Do you get like a lot of that's 189 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,959 Speaker 1: off the record. We get all the time. We get 190 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: that all the time. Honestly, the players are a lot 191 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: better with it. They forget I think that I'm in 192 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: the media, so Joe and all the guys will kind 193 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: of tell me whatever, and then I use it against 194 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: him obviously, No, but you know they I'm still good 195 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: friends with all those guys, so they don't really care. 196 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: Would you say that it's been harder than you expected? 197 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: Like the media job has been harder than you expected? 198 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: And is it given you newfound respect for what Garrett 199 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: and I do most importantly, So it is harder and 200 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: I guess different than what I expected. I still have 201 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: zero respect for what I think that I knew that 202 00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 1: was coming. I don't think what you two speci I 203 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: think we do has any difficulties whatsoever. I think what 204 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I've been asked to do and in my role there 205 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 1: are challenges and things to learn, um but anybody can 206 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: step in and do it. You guys' is it something 207 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: that you think you're you're honestly going to continue? Like 208 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: once this ends, you know you're saying it's kind of 209 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: a shame. Are you going to look for the next 210 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: broadcasting gig, whether it be here or somewhere else. UM, 211 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: I think I'll be very open to it. I've enjoyed 212 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: this process and that was part of um the thinking 213 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: going into this year. UM, kind of get my feet 214 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: wet in in this part and this side of the 215 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: football game. UM, see if I like it, See if 216 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: I'm good at it, See if you know there's any 217 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: kind of a future there, and and then kind of 218 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 1: go from there. And that's that's where I'll be out 219 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: after this next week. UM, I'll be excited to listen 220 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: to Todd Heap, who will take over after me, and 221 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: then um, Justin Foresett and Jared Johnson. So it'll be 222 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: fun to to allow those guys to get some experience 223 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: in this and well and and whatever happens happens. I'll 224 00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: certainly be open to moving forward with anything like this. 225 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: So as you talk about what's next, you know, you 226 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: never officially announced that you're retired, So were you boost 227 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: the ratings for the lounge right now and just go 228 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: ahead and make that declaration. UM, I'm not going to 229 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: officially declare that I am in the middle of rehab. 230 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: I've been rehabbing, you know, for the last three weeks 231 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: now and feeling pretty good. So I'm not saying I'm 232 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: coming out. We have asked the comeback question. Now, No, 233 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: I don't think that I will be on the football 234 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: field again, but I am not retired. We're leaving that open. Okay. 235 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: I like it. I like it so so did you? 236 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: Can You said it it's straight though, you got hit 237 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: replacement surgery, right, I did, right, So can you talk 238 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: a little bit about that? Was when when the when 239 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: the third injury happened. Were you immediately like, all right, 240 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: well my playing days are done and I'm getting hit 241 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: replacement surgery. Yeah, That's exactly how it went. You know, 242 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: I knew there were risks going into last year taking 243 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: the field again, and you know, we were we were 244 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: well informed with what those risks were, um, the consequences 245 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: of those risks, and and you know the possibility of 246 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: a third injury, and unfortunately that happened. But I feel 247 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: great now. I'm happy with how everything turned out, and 248 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, I got a brand new hit, so if 249 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: it feels really good, and honestly, it feels like it 250 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: was never injured, which is awesome. And so right now 251 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: I'm in the process of red having just trying to 252 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: get some of my legs strength back so I can 253 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: still outrun Garrett. But it doesn't it doesn't feel I 254 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: think I'm right under Maybe four nine you might have 255 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: gotten them win the wheelchair, you might have still got 256 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: I feel confident that I would have When you look 257 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:42,599 Speaker 1: back on it, people ask me this, or do you 258 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: have any regrets about coming back? Are you glad that 259 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: you did it? And knowing everything you know now, you 260 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: still would have come back and played. Knowing everything I 261 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: know now, I would have come back and played. And 262 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: why is it? And I don't regret a thing that 263 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: any decision that I made, because at the time I 264 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: felt great. There was no reason for me not to 265 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: come back and play. I knew that what the risks were, 266 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: and there's always risks of injuries when you play the 267 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: game of football. My risks were a little bit different 268 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: and and a little bit more specific when you talk 269 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: about in terms of my hip. But I was able 270 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: to play a full season last year. I was able 271 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: to prove a lot to myself and I guess two 272 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 1: people that necessarily didn't think that I could come back 273 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: and play, and that was important for me. Um But 274 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: at the same time. I had a great time doing it, 275 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: and hip replacement was in my future anyways. Um, and 276 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: so that timetable sped up a little bit, right, But 277 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, I I don't regret going out and playing 278 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: and and everything that happened. Well, that was always what 279 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: I said to people, was like you know, people who said, oh, 280 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 1: he shouldn't come back, like he shouldn't give out his future. 281 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: Like it wasn't a Zachary or situation. We weren't talking 282 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 1: life and death, you know. I mean, if a third 283 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: injury happened, you got hit replacement surgery, and your life 284 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: continued to be great as it is right now. I mean, 285 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: well I'm in the back of the play now. I 286 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't say great, still pretty good, but yeah, and and 287 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 1: that's largely the outlook I had on it as well. 288 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: That was a road that I was going to go 289 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: down no matter what happened, whether I played or not. 290 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: And so you know, I wanted to exhaust every avenue 291 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: of playing and doing what I love, you know, instead 292 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: of sitting at home feeling really really good, knowing I 293 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: could play but decided not to. And so again, I 294 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: don't regret a thing, and I feel great now. You know, 295 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: hip replacements have come a really long way over the years, 296 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: and so this should last me a really long time, 297 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: did you. Um, it seems like the recovery from this 298 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: was much quicker than it was. Like I remember when 299 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: you did your rehab from when you hadn't had a 300 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: hip replacement. It felt like you were in a wheelchair 301 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: like three months later, you know, not moving well at all. 302 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: Now I felt like a couple of weeks later you 303 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 1: were on crutches and walking. Isn't totally different the recovery. 304 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: The recovery is completely different. But let me set the 305 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: records strate I was never wheelchair ound with an I 306 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: did show up to the Halloween party in a wheelchair, 307 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: but it was part of the costume and I didn't 308 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: want to stand. Yeah, I didn't want to stay my 309 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: crutches the whole time throughout the night, so sitting in 310 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: a wheelchair was a lot better help My wife pushed 311 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: me around. Um, But yeah, the recovery in the first 312 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: couple injuries was a lot longer because it was repairing 313 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: the damaged bone and tissue and everything around the joint. 314 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: And so I was twelve weeks non weight bearing on 315 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: crutches post surgery for both injuries. After replacement, it happens 316 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: a lot faster, and in a normal hip replacement, people 317 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: are up back to work a week later, walking, doing 318 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: whatever they need to do. Mine the timetable was a 319 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: little bit longer because of my previous injuries, but again, 320 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: within six weeks I was walking normally and felt really good. Wow. 321 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: So what's more exhausting showing up every day, going to 322 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: practice doing all that stuff, or now being at home 323 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: and having three young kids round every day. I kind 324 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: of wish I was still out of practice when I'm 325 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: changing a hoopie diaper or whatever it may be. But no, 326 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, shoot, kids are awesome. I mean we are 327 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: kids are at such a fun age right now and 328 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: we're really enjoying parenthood. But it is exhausting. And we 329 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: have three kids. Our oldest is four. We have to 330 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: twin girls who just turned too, and the twins are 331 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: giving us a run for our money. They are entering 332 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: their terrible two's, and all that they do when we're 333 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: at home is walk over to something, open a drawer, 334 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: pull everything out, throw it on the ground, close that, 335 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: walk to the next drawer, open that up, and there's 336 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: two of them doing the same thing at the same time, 337 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: so it's almost impossible to keep up. But it's a 338 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 1: lot of fun. So your your wife must be happy 339 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: that now she has two sets of parents here, she 340 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: has two parents. Yeah, you know, one could take one 341 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: and the other one can take the other. Finally, my 342 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: kids have some guidance in their lives. They were largely 343 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: just parented by my wife this whole time, and now 344 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: you know, I get to play the father role a 345 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: little bit more. But now she we just shoot, we 346 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: just got back from London, so I was gone for 347 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: the last three days or so, and you know I 348 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: walked in the doors, well she was everybody was asleep. 349 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: But the next morning she's like, okay, I'm ready for 350 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: you to take over. I'm going to vacation. Kids are 351 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: a handful. How long did it take you to kind 352 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 1: of come to grips with like the new life of 353 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: that in doing the media thing, Like was it pretty 354 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: quick or was it something that took some time to 355 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: say like this is the new normal. I think it's 356 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: still evolving as what is normal for me right now? Um, 357 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, my whole life really I've just been playing 358 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: football and working towards football now it's like, all right, 359 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: I go to the gym and do I even have 360 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 1: to work out? What am I working out for? Every 361 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: single time? Why am I doing? You're now in our 362 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: territory like I work out just to not be a 363 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: fat slop. That's like, my that's the threshold. Yeah, it's good. Yeah, 364 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: I'm trying to find motivation right now. Honestly, it's hard. 365 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: I really wasn't able to work out for about a 366 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: month and a half post surgery UM, and wasn't able 367 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: to start rehab until really three weeks ago, and I've 368 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: I've started all that, so I do have some motivation 369 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: in my workouts with rehab right now, and and things 370 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 1: are kind of specifically tailored to what I need to 371 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: strengthen and do UM. But once rehab is done, I'm 372 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna really struggle to figure out, you know, what am 373 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: I working out for? Because your whole life, I'm working 374 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: out for football, you know, I know it's very clear 375 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: that is my job. I have to go and I 376 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,440 Speaker 1: have to work out and you know, work with trainers 377 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff to to be in the 378 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: best shape that I can be. Now, I mean, I'm 379 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm gonna look like you guys in 380 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: a few months. That's not good and it's terrible down 381 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: its spiral on a hurry. Let me tell you you're 382 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: getting some basketball leagues. Do a little pick up basketball. 383 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: We play here. Jared actually has a decent hook shot. 384 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to go again. You don't 385 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 1: see us, you play basketball against us, or you play 386 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: basketball period. Well I don't see myself playing basketballinst YouTube. 387 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: But I don't see you guys being anny good at basketball. 388 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: Well where you get them out side of five foot? 389 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: He has no jobs. I'm not scrappy. I grabbed the 390 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: boards and put it right back up. But you're going 391 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: against you. You're six ft five or whatever. That Chad 392 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: could have some good battles. Yeah, I think I'm taller 393 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: than Chad. I was standing next to Chad. Chad. In 394 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: Chad's program in high school or in college, he was 395 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: a basketball player. He was six listed a six nine 396 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: in his program, in our program, listed at six four. 397 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,880 Speaker 1: We line up next to each other. I'm taller than Chad, 398 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: So tell me what's wrong there? I went through up, 399 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: go ahead, pat status right here A little exactly. I 400 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: imagine it's actually gonna be another level of transition, Like 401 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 1: you've already gone through a transistor from player to to media, 402 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: and now once this stops and you're not around the 403 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: team all the time, it's gonna be a whole another 404 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: level of transition. And I think you're right. I mean, 405 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: this has made it a little bit more seamless still 406 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: being around the team, traveling, being at every game, traveling 407 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: with the team, kind of what I've normally done. After 408 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: this week against the Steelers, I won't be doing that, 409 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 1: but um, we'll be here in Baltimore still, and I'm 410 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 1: sure I'll probably still have to sit down with you 411 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: guys on occasion, fourth time guests, the third co host 412 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: of the lounge right here. So with the mine, let's 413 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:10,959 Speaker 1: talk a little football while we still can't your your 414 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: media guy now, all right, yeah, exactly. So, I guess 415 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: my first question is how does the team rebound for 416 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: a game like that in London? You know? Is that 417 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: does that make it easier to rebound because you have 418 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: all the motivation from getting your butt kick? Or does 419 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: it kind of is it tough to not make it 420 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: linger where you're like, god, man, are we not as 421 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: good as we thought we were? You know, how do 422 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,480 Speaker 1: you rebound from that? Well, I think it will be 423 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: easy to rebound from it because you have the Steelers 424 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: coming this week, and a win against the Steelers means 425 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna care what happened two weeks ago against the Jaguars, 426 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,719 Speaker 1: and so that from a mental perspective, will make it easier. 427 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: They understand the job they have to do this week. 428 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: They understand, you know, they're still a top this division. 429 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: And the Steelers lost to the Browns lit or to 430 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: the Bears last week, and so everything is still right 431 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: out in front of him. And that's the message I'm 432 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: sure coach Harbo is explaining to everybody this week. We 433 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: are still in first place. Every goal, every achievement that 434 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: we set out to accomplish before this year started is 435 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: still in front of us. Yeah, we made it look 436 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: ugly last week and it was not pretty for four quarters, 437 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: and we don't want ever to have to go back 438 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: to London again. But you know, a win this week 439 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 1: will completely change everything about this season. And so you know, 440 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 1: this team is has been so good over the first 441 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: two weeks. You can't let one game really define the 442 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: entire season, and it won't. It's a long season, and 443 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: so I expect them to have a ton of motivation 444 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: this week in practice, using that loss and understanding what 445 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: is in front of them against the Steelers, and have 446 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: a good sense of urgency about, you know, getting a 447 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: win this week. You know, one thing that the team 448 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: is dealt with more than I can even remember. And 449 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of injuries in past years. But 450 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: there's just so many injuries. Is seventeen guys are going 451 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: to go on i R this week. So yonda there's 452 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: Alex Lewis, There's Tavon Young, you go all the way 453 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: back to you, there's Zachary or There's so many key 454 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: players that would have been playing significant roles on this 455 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: team had everyone been healthy. Is there a tipping point? 456 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: Like what can they still compete after all those injuries? 457 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: There's got to be a point where it gets to 458 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: too many? Yeah, they can still certainly compete. Um, you 459 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: talk about all the talent that we still have on 460 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: the defense. Brandon Williams will come back. Um, you'll sure 461 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: up that defensive front. And you know we've got a 462 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: lot of playmakers all the all over the field. I 463 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: think the one injury that's still going to be difficult 464 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: to overcome as the season progresses. Is the martial yonda 465 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: injury And you saw evidence of the hell last week 466 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: we were unable to block the front four of the Jaguars, 467 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: and you know, we talked about it in a different 468 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: segment with Jeremy Macklin's comments. You know, I felt like 469 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 1: there was they were taking away the middle of the field. Well, 470 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: they were able to do that because they were getting 471 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: pressure with just four players and dropping everyone else dropping seven, 472 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: and it makes it really difficult. And so, um, I 473 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: think what will have to be figured out and answered 474 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 1: is how can this line consistently play well through the 475 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 1: rest of the season without Marshall And it was a 476 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: question mark going into this season and it's still a 477 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: big time question mark now and so we'll see how 478 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 1: they respond. I guess that's my question. It's more than 479 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: on the offensive side. I mean the offensive losses along 480 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: the offensive line in particular, which was already a group 481 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: that people had a lot of question marks about, particularly 482 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: with depth. It's like, yeah, I guess do you do 483 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 1: you do you think that the offense can still play 484 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: or we'll be able to play at a I'm not 485 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna be the best offensive league. I don't 486 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: think any of us think that. But do you think 487 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: that they can play at a at a reasonably high level. 488 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: I do think they can, But it all hinges on 489 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: the ability of this front's five are o line to 490 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: be able to block. And that's in the run game, 491 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: and that's largely in the past game we have play 492 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: because all the field. I think you look at our 493 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: receiving corps and they have largely underachieved statistically thus far. 494 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 1: But guys that can get open, that can stretch the field, 495 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: that can do a lot of different things. Ben Watson 496 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: as a tight end, as really emerged as a as 497 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: a guy that Joe can get the ball to entrust 498 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: in critical situations. Alex Collins is now a guy that 499 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: I think is a very good running back and somebody 500 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: that's going to be dynamic out of that backfield. We 501 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,040 Speaker 1: know what we have in Joe Flacco, and if you 502 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: can just simply give him time, he's going to be 503 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: very good. So really the question mark is what is 504 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: this offensive line unit gonna do throughout the remainder of 505 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: this season, and can they create holes for the running 506 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: game and protect Joe in the passing game, and that's 507 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,159 Speaker 1: really what it all hinges on. Do you attribute that 508 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: offensive line to why the receivers haven't really gotten done 509 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: much of all. I mean, I look at it and 510 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm like Mike Wallace, so he forgot how to play football, 511 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 1: but he's been pretty much a non factor for shod 512 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: that has one catch so far the eleven catches among 513 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: them among the three, right, drink and and and MacLean 514 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: has been the most productive so far. He's got his 515 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: pair of touchdowns, but he's like he's lit in the 516 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: world on fire, Like, why are those three guys not 517 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: able to do much of all of anything right now? Well? Yeah, 518 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: I mean, if you're a receiver, statistically, you are not 519 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,880 Speaker 1: having a great year, right And I don't think any 520 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: of them are very happy about what you know, their 521 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: stats say right now. I know that if I was 522 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: the receiver in through three games I only had two 523 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: or three catches, I wouldn't be too happy about anything, right. 524 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: But you have to really break down why that is. 525 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: So you you go back to Week one against Cincinnati. 526 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 1: That was a that was a game where you got 527 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,479 Speaker 1: five takeaways. You had set up with short fields on 528 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: a number of occasions and got a twenty to nothing 529 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: lead that you just protected through the whole second half. 530 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: You ran the ball forty something times, you only threw 531 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 1: its seventeen and so you understand why you didn't get 532 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: a lot of catches. There wasn't a lot of production 533 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: out of those guys in that game. Then you go 534 00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 1: to Week two against Cleveland Browns and that was their 535 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: best game. Throwing the football, Joe was very efficient. They 536 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: did a nice job of running play action passes, getting 537 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: out of the pocket. Ben Watson had a big day 538 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: um and they spread the ball around well. But again, 539 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: you go into that second half, you have a lead, 540 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: you're running the ball a lot, and there aren't as 541 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: many passing statistics. Now, last game is kind of the 542 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 1: anomaly in the whole season. You talk about going down 543 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: early and you think, well, we're down twenty to nothing, 544 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: then we're down twenty three to nothing. Now we're down 545 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: thirty to nothing. You're gonna have to just spread it out, 546 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: air the ball out and there's gonna be some inflated 547 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: stats for those receivers. Well, Joe had no time throughout 548 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,880 Speaker 1: the entire entirety of that game to be comfortable. Ever, 549 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: in the pocket to be able to stand and deliver 550 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: the football, and so, um, it was one of those 551 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,159 Speaker 1: games where now in the second half we're pulling starters 552 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: because it's so lopsided, and that's the problem. So you 553 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: look at the ineffective oh line play in that game 554 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: as to why they weren't able to throw the football, 555 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 1: and so each different game tells a different story about why. 556 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you're sitting there with with only 557 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: one catch. If you broshot, Perriman is saying, what in 558 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: the world is going on? So the key really is 559 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: the run. Game's gotta be working. You gotta have a 560 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: lead because it might not be pretty the rest of 561 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: the way if the Ravens get down and they're forced 562 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: to have to air it out. I mean, the offense, 563 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: if you're not doing those things, it's gonna be tough. 564 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: The offense, I think we probably all agree, isn't built 565 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: to be a team that has to throw the ball 566 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,679 Speaker 1: forty five times and not without yonda and deep passing 567 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 1: game like this doesn't seem to be the recipe at 568 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: all for this team, right Yeah, and you saw it 569 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: in the first two games. The formula for this team 570 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 1: is defensive win the turnover battle. Yeah, you know, set 571 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,919 Speaker 1: up field position for your offense and allow the offense 572 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: to run the ball effectively and play action pass off 573 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: of that and bootleg and do those kind of things 574 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: getting Joe out in space. I mean, that's what you have. 575 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 1: That's got to be the recipe moving forward. I don't 576 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: think you can ask this offensive line to protect in 577 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: scenarios where Joe's just dropping back, has to sit in 578 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 1: the pocket for a while, let routes develop and then 579 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: get rid of the football. I think you have to 580 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: run the ball effectively and you have to be able 581 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 1: to play actually and get him on the move, you know, 582 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: as a compliment to that. But you know, it'll be 583 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: interesting what they do moving forward. What do you think 584 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: of the season that benjam Watson's having, you know, at 585 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 1: your position, guys thirty six years old, coming off in 586 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: Achilles and he leads a team and catches yards and 587 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: plays over twenty yards. Just what do you think of 588 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: his performance? I mean, I think Ben's been tremendous this year. 589 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not hard to be the leading receiver 590 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: on this team right now. Nothing not taking anything away 591 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: from Ben, but um now he's been tremendous. I mean, 592 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: he missed all of last year with an achilles injury. 593 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: Thirty six years old. You don't know how your body 594 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: is gonna respond at that age. I mean I always 595 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 1: joke with him, he's an old man at this point, 596 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you know. Um, But I've been really impressed with what 597 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: he's been able to do. And he's been a consistent 598 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: player over his career. And I think that's the one 599 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: thing that you can compliment him with is when the 600 00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: balls thrown to him, he's gonna catch it. He's gonna 601 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: be in the right spot, he's gonna do what he's told. 602 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna be able to develop trust within you know, 603 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: that quarterback receiver relationship where Joe's gonna be able to 604 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: come to him in critical situations where he's not sure 605 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: what he has in other mashups and be able to 606 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: get to him the ball. And so, um, I think 607 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: he's going to continue to be a big weapon for 608 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,719 Speaker 1: this team moving forward. All Right, So both the Ravens 609 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: and the Steelers are sitting there this week thinking about 610 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 1: how they lost those games on Sunday, Steelers losing the Bears. 611 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: Ravens obviously, the games against Jacksonville. What do you expect Sunday? 612 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: I mean, which, how do you think this game is 613 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: gonna play out? Who you think has the edge? Well, 614 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: I think, um, you throw out what you saw last 615 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: week out of both teams. I don't think that's relevant 616 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: as far as who these teams are. The Steelers are 617 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 1: better than losing to the Browns or yeah, yeah, one 618 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: of those B teams. Um, they're better than what we 619 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: saw last week. We're better than what we showed two 620 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: days ago. And so it's gonna be one of those 621 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: classic rivalry games. I think it's gonna come down to 622 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: the end. I think we are very comfortable in this 623 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: matchup though, which I think is important to note because 624 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, Joe is always comfortable against this defense. 625 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,959 Speaker 1: If we're able to give him even a little bit 626 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: of time, he knows where the ball needs to go 627 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: against certain looks. And it isn't advantageous for a quarterback 628 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: to know what a defense is going to give you. 629 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: And we've gone against the Steelers so many different times, 630 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: and and really they don't have a very complicated defensive scheme. 631 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's a three four system. You know where 632 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 1: guys are typically coming from um in blitzes and they 633 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: largely play zone coverage in the back end, and so 634 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: there are ways to take advantage of this team, and 635 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: I think Joe knows how to do that. The question 636 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: will be can we give him time to be able 637 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 1: to do that, and can we run the ball as 638 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: a compliment to that effectively? Those will always be the 639 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: question marks throughout the year, but especially in this game. 640 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, we've we've had the edge on 641 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: this team over the last you know, handful of years 642 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 1: and played very well Aginson, So I expected to be 643 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: a close game. I'm hoping it would be a close 644 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: game because from a broad cast projective, it's a lot 645 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: more fun and you have a lot better content when 646 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: the game is close all over the end. Every game 647 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: I've done this year, it's been, you know, run the 648 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: clock out in the fourth quarter, and we're just trying 649 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: to come up with stuff to talk about, all right. 650 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: So then it's to wrap this up. The most important question, 651 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: the most important news. What do you think of the 652 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: controversial pick of Ari as the new Bachelor this year? 653 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: Thirty five year old race car driver from season eight. 654 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: I believe my researchers correct. He's from Emily season. Okay, yeah, 655 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: all right, so what do you think. I'm glad you 656 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: brought this up because there's something I've been wanting to 657 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: get off my chest for a long time.
