WEBVTT - Ravens Mandatory Minicamp Day 1 Press Conferences 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:05.480 Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. Today is Tuesday, 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.720 June thirteenth, and it was the first day of the 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.360 Ravens Mandatory Mini camp. The Ravens got out there on 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.200 the practice field today and we also had a chance 0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.120 to hear from head coach John Harbaugh and some key players, 0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:24.080 including wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior and defensive lineman Justin Mattabique. 0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:27.880 They talked with reporters before practice today and let's kick 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.040 it off with head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:33.880 With Adel being here, what do you kind of expect 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:37.000 those boys on his level space new times right? 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.839 Well, you know he's going to be full go in 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.160 terms of health and all that. But I also expect 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.000 us to ramp up a lot of our guys. You know, 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:44.320 we're going to see where guys are at. We're not 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.239 going to be in a hurry to throw guys out 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.839 there too much, too many reps. We want to get 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:50.600 a feel for everything he's learning in the offense for 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:52.919 the first time, just like a lot of guys have been. 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.160 So I think it will be a kind of a 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:58.320 see as we go go through individual, take a few 0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.920 reps and group and team and see how he and 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.440 the other guys feel and we'll go from there. 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:07.160 Tom, we saw going LCAs that Bit was doing individual 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.400 and working up to the side of you expecting him. 0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.520 To be a part of the words, not expecting Bait 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.759 to be a part of it. Right now. He had 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:18.280 a shot, you know, for healing purposes, courtazone type deal, 0:01:18.680 --> 0:01:20.280 so that'll keep him out for a couple of days. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.800 So we just decided to just let him keep rehabbing 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.760 and make sure he's ready to go for training camp. 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.480 Coach taking Dolbin's being here, how do you see the 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.880 potential of bringing the beds out of him under the 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:31.800 Monkeys offense. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.839 Yeah, that's a great point. I think that is something 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.399 that JK is excited about, Todd's excited about, we all are. 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:40.759 It's going to be interesting how he fits in because 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:44.240 Jk's got a lot of dynamic ability, you know, backfield motion, 0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.880 wide plays, inside plays, even the a gap plays that 0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.440 we've always run as a receiver on the back foot. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.640 I think he's got a lot of potential. So I'm 0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.160 very excited about JK and how he's going to fit in. 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:57.600 Here's definitely go for a second. 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.120 The heights of restarts and receive him coming back after 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.480 you know, almost two years off. You know, just that 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.840 is that add juice to the room, Is that add 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.000 used to going on the field. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.040 For that well, I mean, you love great players and 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.320 great people and guys who love football, you know. And 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.720 the one thing I've seen about Odell, like all of 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.160 our guys, is he loves football. And the other thing 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.799 that we like his guys who want to be here, 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:25.280 and he's very excited to be here. He wants to 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.120 be here. So that combination is good. You know, any 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.160 any football coach loves that. But he's a He's a 0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:35.079 highly decorated player, without question, has been in all the 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.760 big battles, you know, over the years, he's he's worked 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.400 really hard to get himself back to this point where 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.799 he's you know, he's excited to go and he's I'm 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.400 sure he's a little anxious and you know, anticipating getting 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.480 back on the field for the first time. So you know, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:51.959 we're not going to go crazy out here, but I 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:53.919 think it's a good first step for him. And of 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.960 course we're excited that he's here. We're excited that all 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:56.640 of our guys are here. 0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:01.560 You're ty Rosport, the camp yes, you know, Michael Pierce 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:03.760 is someone you've seen throughout the spray, the football school, 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:05.760 OTAs everything. You can put him back and we get 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:07.720 to the hold if you booked, and what are your 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.560 expectations for him considering you didn't have. 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.760 Him very long last year before get right exactly, Michael 0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.239 Pierce has looked great. He's been here every day, He's 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.600 worked extremely hard, moving very well. Think he's very determined, 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.959 you know. I mean Michael was on a trajectory and 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.400 then all of a sudden had a couple of injuries 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.600 that sidetracked him the last few years. So I think 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.519 he's very determined to kind of get back on track 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.760 that way and have high expectations for him. 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.959 What about Man d k coach, We're gonna be talking 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:34.400 to him later. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:35.960 What are you looking for him? Yeah? 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.640 I expect him to take off, you know, even to 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.240 just really and I say take off, but kind of 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:43.280 continue on the same track, take the next step as 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.200 a player. I think he's gonna have a great year. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:45.920 John. 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.839 I know it may not be two competition mode just yet, 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.680 but he put the wide receivering room. It looks like 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.920 this may be probably the most competitive one you've had 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.280 in camp in a while, and are you excited just 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.920 about the competition within that position. 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.960 Where Yeah, I was looking at picture. Uh, actually it 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:03.040 was in my basement. 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:03.360 You know. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.960 Above I got this pool table. It's one of those 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:09.400 old like pool room pool tables. You know, you got 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:11.200 to put the coin in it, except now you don't 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.280 have to put the coin in it, right, but you 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.440 still gott to push the button. And above that is 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:20.560 a picture of this. Jacobi Tory, Steve Smith are in 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.599 there and we're like doing something to practice. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:22.760 You know. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.760 I thought that was a good group, right. This group 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.200 rivals that group, you know, and it might be the 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.320 best we'll see. I mean, that's up to that's up 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.920 to them to determine that. But I'm very excited about 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:33.360 those guys. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:36.839 A lot of stories over the last few months about 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:40.320 guys around the league being investigated for gambling. Just just curious. 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.600 What do you guys do to make sure that your 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.320 players know what they can do and what they can 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.719 do And doesn't worry you ever that maybe there are 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.480 a few confusing points in there. It's hard for guys 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:50.240 to know exactly. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:52.960 It does concern you that, you know, it's not always 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:54.560 too clear. I mean, the clearest thing would be just 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.640 stay away from it. But you know, guys are gonna 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.920 be on vacation and they may they may play black 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:01.800 jack or whatever. There is nothing wrong with that if 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.680 they do that, if that's what they do. But it 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.120 is very clear in terms of sports gambling, in terms 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:08.680 of where you can be during the season, those kinds 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.680 of things, in terms of not betting on football, you know, period, 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:17.040 end of story. Uh, that's pretty darn clear. So I 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.520 don't think it's that hard to figure out. 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:18.800 Really. 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:21.280 If you if you want to push it, then you're 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.000 probably doing yourself a disservice, putting yourself at risk. And 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.280 if you have any questions, you should ask before you 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:30.120 get into anything. Right, So, I think the rules are 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.760 fair and smart and good. And we spent a lot 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.200 of time yesterday talking about it with the guys. Even 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.760 Eric came down and talk to the guys about it. 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.080 So our guys should understand what's going on talking about 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.440 that specifically, talking about gambling specifically. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:44.800 Right, I think, is there anyone else that you would 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:45.520 have for today, just. 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:48.880 As you wish? Not that I can think of off 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:50.719 the top of my head, but I'm probably forgetting somebody. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:52.240 If want to give me a name, I'll remember the 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.880 guys though. Peppe's out, Jalen is going to do a 0:05:57.040 --> 0:06:01.800 CT and some individual Pepe he's gonna be out probably 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.000 maybe even he tells me he's gonna be back to 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:04.680 start training camp. 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:05.120 We'll see. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.719 That's where he's at with his process. 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:10.760 John Dell, you know, he does still kind of needed 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.000 everything here in it. That's gonna be kind of your impression, 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:14.120 because I mean everyone kind. 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:16.360 Of has this these thoughts of Odell and they won't 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.200 see him and think there's a certain image. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.640 What's kind of the in your impression of him. 0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.960 My impression of Odell Beckham has been nothing, but I 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.320 love the guy. I mean, he's a pro. He's a 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.520 he's a He's what you would expect from a world 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.480 class athlete. It's a highly competitive guy. He wants to 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.800 play at the highest level, on only the highest level. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.640 He's not interested in not playing and performing at the 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.840 very highest level. From everything I've heard, he's a he's 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.240 a big time practice player. Uh, everything I've seen, he's 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.720 a big time trained, train himself guy. You know, workout guy, 0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.000 get ready to play. So you know, those are the 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:50.840 things that you always respecting. I don't think you can 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.880 perform at the level he's performed at or some of 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:56.000 the guys. I think back to, uh trell Owens for instance. 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.320 You know, we had him in Philadelphia. He came in 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.839 all the hype and all this things. From the person 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.200 I standpoint, nobody worked harder at practice, nobody worked hard 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.680 in the weight room. The guy came to special teams meetings. 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:08.960 I mean, he was into football, you know, so to 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.720 be those kind of guys reached that level for a reason. 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:13.800 And you know, he's in a place in his career 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.480 where I think he feels like he has a lot 0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:19.200 to prove at this point, and I think he feels 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:20.600 like he's gonna be the healthiest he's been in a 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.920 few years. So let's go Jonavan. 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.840 He said that you were getting sort of updates on 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.480 the Hodell's training and he was out in what Arizona? 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:31.000 Uh you know what I mean? 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.000 Was there anything about discuss just going to pop it 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.120 out to you or anything that you saw that's like 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.040 a man getting this guy or what does this he 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:39.560 goes hard? 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:40.400 Yeah? 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.480 Not really. I mean it's hard to watch a video 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.440 and see too much, but I trust him and I'm 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:46.160 sure he's ready to go. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.640 Enough with the competition to ways, is the right, left, 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.760 the bar is or any other position into the roles, 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.200 and he kind of focused on the conceivingly with the competition. 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.960 Leading in the main Toordan account, of course, I mean 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.320 every position you focus on, and every position's got a 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.680 different kind of a priority list to it. But you know, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:05.080 we'll be looking at the in the secondary. We'll be 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.960 looking to kind of firm up our different roles back there, corner, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.000 inside and outside. That'll be something that'll be important our 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.480 outside backers, you know young kind of plug those guys 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:17.680 into their spots, see how they emerge. D Line certainly, 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.280 you know what the rotations are gonna be. Offensive line 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:21.280 you talked about already. 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:25.520 Good. 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:29.240 You're excited about seeing how Lamar takes on a new 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.199 freedom of calling plays at the line. Are changing plays 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:35.360 and do that? Hobviously you trust him to do that. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:42.000 How do his responsibilities change and does his preparation change as. 0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:44.240 He takes on that? What might be more responsible? 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.480 Well, I mean Lamar is always prepared really hard, like 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:49.079 like like everybody. I mean, but it's it's gonna be 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.079 a different type of preparation because it's gonna be different 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.400 things he's gonna be responsible to be looking at. You know, 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:57.880 it'll be a different different lens he's gonna be looking through. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.280 So in terms of the way the offense has been built, 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.120 every offense is built a little differently, so he's looking 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.480 at certain things that he'll be looking that he wasn't 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.800 looking at before in a certain way. The way it's worded, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:09.959 the way Todd teaches it, the way the offensive coaches 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.280 have put it together, will be his perspective on it. 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:15.200 So I think he'll study differently. I do think it's 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:16.959 gonna fit Lamar. I've told him that. We had a 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.439 great talk about it yesterday. I think it's going to 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.480 fit the way he sees the game really well, that's 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.040 the hope. He feels that way right now. So now 0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:26.240 we just got to get to work and I'll let 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.480 it rip and see what happens. Ye well, set great, 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:31.000 Thank you guys. 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.880 We also talked with wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. He 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.199 arrived in Baltimore this week from mandatory mini camp, and 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.560 Odell was the big free agent acquisition for the team 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.760 this offseason. He is going to be a key piece 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.719 of this offense, and it was good to hear from him. 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.360 And here's what he had to say in talking with reporters. 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.880 First impressions, Odell be in here, not. 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.360 Really the first, but you know, just happy to be 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:03.199 back in the bill. Been away from the game a 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:05.920 little bit of time, so it just feels good to 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.680 finally be back here and you know, get things going. 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.400 Well this practice field. I mean you've had a lot 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.079 of practices in your choreatia. Uh will this practice be 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.440 any different just because it's been a while since, you know, dead. 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.320 The injury in this bowl be an apple on the field, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:22.640 I don't necessarily know. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:23.320 I think. 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.720 Just coming here with the mindset, you know, we're all 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:31.719 professionals and just get back to having fun. You know, 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.760 learn to playbook. You know, it's a lot there's still 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:37.360 a lot of you know, things to do. So I 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:41.559 think the focus is just you know, have fun, you know, 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:42.720 stay locked in and be a pro. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.719 Hell, can you can you even develop some kind of 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.880 chemistry this week doing what you're doing? 0:10:48.120 --> 0:10:50.240 What what are your goals in this mini camp? 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:51.240 What do you want to get accomplished? 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.520 Uh? I mean, you know, chemistry is is gonna develop 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.040 over time, I think, Uh, I know, I'll be down 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.880 in Florida trading with them. So Webplant is it's not 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.760 something that you know, I'm worried about. You know, the 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.400 most important thing is getting ready for a season coming 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.000 up in September, and that's when we play. I think 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.440 just being here, being around the guys, you know, being 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:17.439 around your your brothers. Uh, just getting to know people. 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.200 And you know, like I said, just be a pro. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:21.160 You guys. 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.840 With it yet so you guys already have plans and place. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.360 After this to Yeah, yeah, we been talked about it 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.920 all off season. We're supposed to catch some time in Asy, 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.599 catch some time in Miami. But it's something that you know, 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:36.880 it's not really uh, I think. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.000 What do you put your participation level of practice? 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.640 If you ever after few days? I mean I don't know. 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:46.120 I'm'ta have like a set play amount or a number 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.280 that's in my head. I think it's just like I said, 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:50.960 you come here, be a pro, You get your reps, 0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.880 get your work, you talk. You know, you don't have 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:58.319 to always build chemistry so to say, by you know, 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.960 taking reps. It could be you know, communication thing. How 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.120 do you see it or uh? And then like I said, 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:07.160 we have a whole off season or after this camp 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.600 breaks to to really get it going. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.760 Posed to a real positive posted about your progress. 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.520 Black Man's mother from your foot or if sheep me 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:20.480 your knee? I'm sorry where I know you're focusing towards 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:21.000 Week one? 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.640 But where are you right now? Do you feel like 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.280 to that elusive A hundred percent? 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.240 Uh? I mean I don't know, I've a I've been 0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:29.080 asked this question all my career and I've never given 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.360 a percent of number, cause then it you know, you 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:33.360 say you're a hundred and then y, it just is 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.160 not really a good question set up for me. So 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.440 I'm just I'm where I'm at right now. Uh, it's 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.760 still in my process and just trying to gear up 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:44.640 and get ready for a week one. 0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:47.240 Yeah, it's safe to say that you feel good about where. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.120 Yeah, yeah, I feel good. It's it feels good to 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:51.720 be able to get out of bed and not feel 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.560 you know, pain. It feels good to feel like if 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.080 I need to take off running right now, I could 0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.240 take off running, you know it. It it's it's been 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:04.439 a a long journey this time around, and it was 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.520 its own process, so I just had to take that 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:07.199 for what it was. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.199 Oh damn, what's your familiarity with this offense? I know 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.120 you've had a history with Tom markin. Is it a 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:13.960 lot of similarities from the last time. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.400 You were with him? Yeah, I mean I was, it 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.760 was a while ago, but it's all the same. Like 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.040 football is all different verbage and languages. It was a 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.839 foreign language. You just you know, readjusting to different words, 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.400 but you know, conceptually there's a lot of things where 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.600 you know, it might have been called here over there 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.679 and it's called this over here. So just you know, 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.679 familiarizing myself with the the offense to playbook everything. Like 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:38.439 I said, the most important thing for me was just 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:42.160 getting back to being healthy and the rest will always 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:42.960 take care of yourself. 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:45.600 You're how did a jersey get on the field today? 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:45.719 Like? 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.640 Is that m emotional? Is that meaningful? 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.040 I think it is. I think I I've been trying 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.720 to you know, not think about it uh so much 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:57.400 because there's been so many disappointments, and I just I've 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.520 been in a good mental s mental headspace to where 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.160 I've tried to downplay this, but I definitely think that 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.559 I'll be excited to be able to put a Jersey 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.319 On and you know, go out and and do the 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.319 thing that you've done your whole life and uh what 0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:13.920 you love to do. So I'm excited about that. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.320 In Arizona for all of the teams, where would you say, like, 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:23.360 when you you know, when you're doing all your you know, 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.640 your routes and all that other stuff, are you thinking 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.360 about your speed? 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:27.920 Where do you think you. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.520 Are now at this point and where you w what 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:31.160 you were trying to. 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:32.920 Build to compared to when you were in Arizona. 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:33.360 We're doing that. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:34.400 Workout for all those teams. 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.320 I mean, I'm definitely better. I got more time, you know. 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:40.920 I it was feels like that was so long ago 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:43.640 and I don't know exactly how far it was. But 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.960 I feel good. Uh. Like I said, I don't have 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.760 a number of a percentage or again, it's never really 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.160 a a good answer for that cause it just feels 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.840 like a set up, But uh, I feel good, feel healthy, speedwise, 0:14:55.880 --> 0:15:01.920 immunism definitely fast. Everything you're describing the getting acclimated here, 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:04.000 you sound like, yeah, a great deal of patience for 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:04.720 this process. 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.800 How hard was that to kind of mentally. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.120 Build that patience given the last game we saw you 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:10.840 and you were at the the sports highest level. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.720 Uh, it just was It's a process. You know, it's 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.680 hard when you you get to the pinnacle of you know, 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:21.920 the success in this sport and you felt like it 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.640 was taken away from me. It wasn't something that was 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.920 easy to live with. It was very hard to to 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:27.800 go through that. And then you know, have surgery and 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.200 your son be born four days after and just you know, 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.560 so many mixed emotions uh uh that I've had to 0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.520 deal with over the years. But it kind of all 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:38.200 gets put the rest, you know now, cause it's like 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.400 you're here and I'm just excited about that opportunity and 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.480 just trying to again keep gearing up to to when 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.920 it's important, which is uh, you know, when you come 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:48.880 back here at the end of July for camp and 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:50.960 you're getting ready for the season, that's when it really matters. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.480 Not to say that anything else doesn't, but at the 0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.640 end of the day, you know, we could write all 0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.240 the stories in the world, but it it all comes 0:15:58.280 --> 0:15:59.880 down to what you do on the field during the season. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.840 How do you live back on the Super Bowl? 0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:04.120 I mean, obviously you have the championship ring forever, but 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.840 you know, the step back you describing how do you 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:07.280 get back? 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.000 It sucks, you know, there's no way around it. It's literally, 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.680 you know, you've dreamed of you know, I've watched plenty 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:19.120 of Super Bowls and finally it was, you know, my opportunity, 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.040 and I was so locked in. I remember my mom 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:23.920 and my people were like, I've never seen you, you know, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:25.760 like that before a game, and I would just I 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:27.360 could just feel it that day when I woke up, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:29.720 I knew that I was probably gonna be the best 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:31.760 person on the field. I had been feeling it all week. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:35.160 And it just sucks, you know, I didn't get to 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:39.000 live out that moment. It's not for the Instagram posts 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.080 or nothing like that, Like this is really something I've 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.400 dedicated my entire life to this game and this sport 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:47.560 and just wanted to have that moment. But I told 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.800 my I think it was my pops. I said, you know, 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:51.400 God that already came to me. And he said, if 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:54.920 I win the next time, showfully this year, you get 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:57.920 an opportunity. He said, I know the champagne was better, 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.760 but we'll make sure that it's probably the best use 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:02.400 of taste. And that's probably in my mind. That's just 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.479 how I keep the perspective is that hopefully I'll get 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.520 another opportunity to do that. And you know, life happens 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:11.159 to you, so you just got to keep rolling with 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:11.760 the flow of it. 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:16.159 And we live and we learned talk about how excited 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.200 are you being part of someone like Lamar Jackson. 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:21.200 I mean, it's, you know, one of the reasons why 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:23.480 I signed here. You know, I've watched him for years. 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:27.119
