1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,960 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. I'm Ryan Mink 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: here with Garrett Downing following the breaking news of tight 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: end Mark Andrews agreeing to terms on a three year, 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: thirty nine point three million dollar extension with the Ravens, 5 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,919 Speaker 1: keeping a true Raven in the fold. This is the 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: Triple Crown franchise leader in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: Guy who's been a draft pick here since twenty eighteen, 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: in his eighth season alongside Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews perhaps 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: a Raven for life. 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: Garrett, Yeah, this is huge news. I could not be 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 2: more excited when this news broke. 12 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: I think this is. 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 2: Something that Mark Andrews is one of the best players 14 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: in Ravens history. He's one of the best draft picks 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 2: in Ravens history. He has an Eric Tacosta's quote about 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: Mark when the news came out, he said that Mark 17 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: is an all time Raven and I think that's a 18 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: good way to put it. He's just one of the 19 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: guys that has accomplished so much in his time in 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 2: the Purple and Black, and I think it's only fitting 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 2: that he's now going to get a chance to like 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: I don't want to put the cart too far in 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: front of the horse here, but like I agree with you, 24 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: I think this is a potential Raven for life situation 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: and if there's anybody that deserves it, I think it's 26 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 2: Mark Andrews. I think he does things the right way. 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 2: I think he's exactly the type of player that you 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: want in your locker room. And I also think, as 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 2: he has shown this year, he still has plenty of 30 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: gas left in the tank. And so the Ravens are 31 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: they want to keep good players around, and Eric Zicassa 32 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: has said that many times, specifically about Mark Andrews, and 33 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 2: I think it's a great thing to have him in 34 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 2: Baltimore for three more years. 35 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: After the season, there's obviously a lot of questions about 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: what the future was going to be at tight end 37 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: with this team. You had Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and 38 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: Charlie Kohler all going into the final years of their contracts. 39 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: So that was one thing that was debated a lot. 40 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: Who's going to get a deal right, Who's going to 41 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: get that extension? And when push came to shove, Mark 42 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: was the guy. I mean you're talking, I think it's 43 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: you talk about production and what he's had over his career. 44 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: And as we said, triple crown holder, right franchise, the 45 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: franchise is best pass catcher ever, right, so, and and 46 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: still producing at a high level this season. 47 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: You know he's got he has. 48 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: He's second on the team in receptions and receiving yards 49 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: behind Za Flowers, and he leads the team in receiving 50 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: touchdowns with five. And and also I think just as 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: important as the fact that he's still a productive player 52 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: is that this is a guy, This is a culture guy. 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 1: He is everything that you want in a raven. When 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: you talk about play like a raven, all of those things, 55 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: train like a raven, prepare like a raven, all of 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: those things. Just as much for the production on the field, 57 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: I think it's like he is everything that you want 58 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: in your program. 59 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I agree without one hundred percent, yep. 60 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: And especially I think it was especially evident this season. 61 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: You know, he's coming off of a nightmarish playoff game 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,119 Speaker 1: in Buffalo and you know the fumble that he had 63 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: that dropped two point conversion. There couldn't have been a 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: more brutal ending to the season than what Mark Andrews had. 65 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: And to go through that and come back this season 66 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: as the same exact guy, right, I mean, same exact 67 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: dude with a positive outlook and a laser sharp focus 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: and you know just about his business. Like to me, 69 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: that said just about as much about Mark as any 70 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: other year in his career. 71 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that A point that stands out to 72 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: me about Mark is that he did not let that game, 73 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: in that moment break him. And he said that soon 74 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: after that game, is that this is a guy who's 75 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: overcome a lot. Like if you really want to look, 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 2: if you look at Mark Andrews' big picture and all 77 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 2: that he's overcome, you can talk about diabetes and fighting 78 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: through that, and that's something that he manages on a 79 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 2: daily basis, and he's never let that a detriment to 80 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 2: him and he's served He's used his his platform as 81 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: a way to inspire so many people on that. You 82 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 2: could talk about the leg injury that he had back 83 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty three season, fighting his way to 84 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: come back and get on the field for the AFC 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: Championship when everybody thought his season was over, and then 86 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,799 Speaker 2: even coming out of that and being able to play 87 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 2: again at a high level, and that was that was significant, 88 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 2: and then of course there's the Buffalo game and fighting 89 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 2: his way back from that, and like all throughout the 90 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: off season, we would get questions. It was a topic 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: in the national media circles. Are the Ravens going to 92 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: move on from Mark Andrews? Could they trade him? And 93 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,039 Speaker 2: that was what we'd heard about in the offseason, even 94 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: at the trade deadline this year. That started to float 95 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: out again a little bit at that time, and the 96 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 2: Ravens were steadfast in their belief that their team was 97 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 2: better with Market Andrews on it, which I certainly endorse. 98 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 2: And then and then, like you then you play it forward, 99 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: and then I thought, I feel like the conversation became like, Okay, 100 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 2: well he's going to be here this year, but that's 101 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: probably it. It's probably his last year because he's in the 102 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: last year of his contract and the Ravens have two 103 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 2: younger tight ends and they could extend them. No, Mark, again, 104 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: against the odds. He gets that contract extension at a 105 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: point where everyone thought, not everyone, a lot of people 106 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: thought he might be traded or they might just play 107 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 2: out his contract and move on. No, none of those 108 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 2: things happened. Mark Andrews is still the top tight end 109 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: on this team. He continues to produce, and I'm really 110 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: excited that he's going to stay here in Baltimore with 111 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson and continue working towards what they've been building. 112 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: Hopefully they accomplish it this year, but they're going to 113 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: have more opportunities even beyond this year together. 114 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: I absolutely agree with that. 115 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: Another key point to Mark I think that is overlooked 116 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: is that he's turned into a pretty darn good blocker too. 117 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: It's not just what he offers as a receiver, but 118 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: he's graded as the thirteenth best blocking tight end in 119 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: the league by Pro Football Focus so far this season. 120 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: That's an important part of your team, especially, I don't 121 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: I think it would be very surprising if the Ravens 122 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: bring back the entire tight end trio, right, and so 123 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: as you move forward to having that element, you know, 124 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: he really has made himself what was a college receiving 125 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: only tight end into an all around tight end. And 126 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: also you mentioned this, you know, having a lot more 127 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:20,119 Speaker 1: left in the tank. 128 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 3: I mean the top. 129 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 1: Speed that he hit on Hurricane exactly, the fake tush 130 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 1: push touchdown, that was the top speed of his career. Yeah, 131 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 1: top twenty miles per hour, so he obviously can still 132 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: move just just fine. And so I think this is 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: a player. He's thirty years old. When this contract expires, 134 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 1: he'll be thirty three if I'm doing that right when 135 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: it expires. I think thirty plus three is thirty three. 136 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: I think I got that. Hold on, let me get 137 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 3: the calculator out here, well, like when exactly his contract right? Anyway? 138 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,119 Speaker 3: Thirty three? 139 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: Right? Like, I think that Mark Andrews still has some 140 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: very good years ahead of him. 141 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 2: Yeah. He takes great care of himself, like he's somebody 142 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: like in the offseason, he always comes back in great 143 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: shape you never got to worry about, like is this 144 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 2: guy got to come in heavy? Is he going to 145 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: come in light? 146 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: Like? 147 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: Is he's very Dereck Henry esque. 148 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: Yes, you look at Dereck Henry as a guy that 149 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: has defied father time. 150 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 3: Mark Andrews is very much on that same path. 151 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. 152 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's got the hyperbaric chamber or whatever 153 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: it was. When he's in twenty twenty three, maybe that 154 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: thing's like also like a time machine. 155 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what everything that thing can do, but. 156 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 2: No limit, no limitations. Yeah, I think like even even 157 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 2: things like this with with Mark Andrews, they use they 158 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: use him on the tush push play and they've added 159 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: wrinkles to the tush push play like Hurricane and the 160 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: pitch to Lamar Jackson, and like they're not keeping him 161 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 2: because of that play, Like that's not the only factor here. 162 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna go crazy with this, but I think 163 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: that like those types, the way the Ravens use him, 164 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: and his ability to be trusted and relied on in 165 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 2: big moments and situations and when when the Ravens need 166 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: somebody that can trust in those plays, they turn to 167 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: him and like and part of it is like he 168 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 2: fits the mold. He's a big guy. He can go 169 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 2: in there and like plow ahead for a yard if 170 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 2: needed on touch Pusts play, Like that's part of it. 171 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: But another part of it is that, like the Ravens 172 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: like his ability to manage that situation, and all of 173 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: that speaks to like the trust that they have in him. 174 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 3: I've said I've. 175 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 2: Said before, like if again, if you could clone him, 176 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 2: if you can have fifty three Mark Andrews on your team, 177 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 2: you'd be a darn good football team. And like it's 178 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 2: just exactly the type of person and player that you want, 179 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: and as like as I look down the rest of 180 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: this season, he's got five touchdowns this year, and it 181 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,839 Speaker 2: would not shock me at all if he ends up 182 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 2: being right around double digits again. That would be a 183 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 2: lot five touchdowns and five games, But I think he may. 184 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 2: He had an opportunity to catch one last week. That 185 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 2: was actually the play that Lamar Jackson ended up getting 186 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 2: picked on because a blocker or a defensive player ran 187 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 2: through and got his hand on the ball. But you 188 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,319 Speaker 2: look at that play Mark Andrews wide open. He's got 189 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: thirty seven catches, three hundred and thirty two yards, five 190 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: touchdowns this season. I think he's still gonna flirt with 191 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,599 Speaker 2: that double digits again this season and just be a 192 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 2: huge player for this team down the stretch and hopefully 193 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 2: endo the postseason. 194 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: It's reported thirty nine point three million dollar contract extension 195 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 1: over three years, with twenty six million dollars guaranteed. It's 196 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: according to NFL Networks Mike Garafolo, that would make Mark 197 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: Andrews the sixth highest paid tight end in the league 198 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: based on yearly average according to the spot Track, which 199 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: feels right about right. You know, I think though, a 200 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: question coming out of this, which you always talk about 201 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: whenever you, you know, spend a good chunk of money signing 202 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: somebody to an extension, is. 203 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 3: What's the ripple effect for the rest of the roster? 204 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 1: Right? And obviously this impacts the tight end room. As 205 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: we said at the top, you know, which of those 206 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: tight ends were you going to bring back? It wouldn't 207 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: shock me if the Ravens could still bring back another, 208 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: you know, between Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kohler. Obviously Isaiah Likely, 209 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: though has had a tough season, you know, I mean 210 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: hamper early on by the foot injury in training camp. 211 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 1: He's made eighteen catches for two hundred and twenty three 212 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: yards in nine games left, averaging two catches per game. Obviously, 213 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,439 Speaker 1: had the fumble. I mean, what's the fumble against the Bengals. 214 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: The sad part is like he otherwise was the leading 215 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 1: Raven's leading receiver in the game. 216 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: He had a good game. He had the fumble and 217 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 3: the block. 218 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: That you talked about that got the ball tip for 219 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: the interception were not good movements. But I think we 220 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 1: can obviously say that I think the difference between the 221 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 1: season that Mark Andrews has had and Isaiah Likely has 222 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: had played into this decision. 223 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that Mark it goes back to what 224 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: we said, like this was a guy who at his 225 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 2: lowest moment was able to come back and put it together, 226 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: shake that off and not allow it to break him 227 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: and still be really productive. And I know that. Like 228 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 2: there's the it is a conversation. You got three tight 229 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: ends who were all in. It's a unique situation. You 230 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: got three tight ends all in the final years of 231 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: your contract, and you don't know who's gonna come back, 232 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 2: And it's a little bit of go earn it, go 233 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: earn that contract. And I think that Mark earned it. 234 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: And I really think that's what the situation is. Like 235 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: he went out there and he earned the contract. Are 236 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 2: you gonna have more money to pay either Isaiah Likely 237 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,839 Speaker 2: or Charlie Kohlar. We'll see. It's tough when you have 238 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: a quarterback under contract and you have marquee players on 239 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: both sides of the ball under contract, you're playing a 240 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: left tackle. 241 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 3: Big money free agents. 242 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's other free agency free agency decisions to be 243 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: made for sure. 244 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 2: Right Like you have you have the top paid safety, 245 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 2: you got a highly paid lineback. You gotta highly paid 246 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 2: left tackle, like highly paid running back. It's hard to 247 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: keep everybody, so that's gonna be tough. But I think 248 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: that Mark is a guy that you want in your program, 249 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: and I think that I don't think that he's nearing. 250 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 3: The end of the road. 251 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 2: And I also think that there is something too. We 252 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 2: talked about this a little bit with Ronnie Stanley, and 253 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 2: I think that there is something to what has been 254 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: built with Lamar and the guys who are the core 255 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,199 Speaker 2: pieces over the course of his run. Mark to me, 256 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 2: is most closely linked to Lamar. They're the same draft class. 257 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 2: He's caught the majority of those catches and touchdowns and 258 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: put up those receiving yards, like the majority of that 259 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 2: treble Crown has been coming from Lamar Jackson, and I 260 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 2: think that those two guys have a really unique connection. 261 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 2: And keeping his number one target in his career in 262 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: Baltimore on this offense for the duration of Lamar's contract. 263 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: This current contract, I think is really good and I 264 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 2: think that that we'll just can allow the Ravens to 265 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: continue working towards that Super Bowl that Mark and Lamar 266 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 2: so dearly won. 267 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: Yep. Well, it's been a great week for Mark Andrews. 268 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: He surpassed Derek Mason in receptions to claim the triple 269 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Crown officially. 270 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 3: And the win one win would have made even better. Yeah, 271 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 3: but that's like that. 272 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 2: That's the thing about Mark, Like even when you we 273 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 2: asked him about it out of the game and he 274 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 2: just like really was not interested in having the celebratory 275 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 2: conversation about becoming to triple Crown winners. 276 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: Guys, we just exist like yep. 277 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 1: Then over the Thanksgaven weekend he got engaged. Yes, uh so, 278 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: congrats to him on that. And now the Ravens put 279 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: a ring on. 280 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 3: It again, Yeah, for the third ring on it. 281 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, it's kind of a triple Crown week. 282 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 3: For Mark Andrews. That's right, that's right. We get a 283 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: chance to talk to him. 284 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 2: We'll have to ask him about what he's most excited about. 285 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: Yes, exactly, you better give the right answer. She's gonna 286 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: be listening. All right, Let's take break.

A lot of good news out there on 303 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: the practice field today. The biggest thing was Lamar Jackson 304 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 2: out there practicing. He has not practiced on Wednesdays in 305 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: recent weeks as he's been dealing with injuries. He was 306 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: a limited participant because of an ankle injury. But he 307 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 2: was out there and I think that that's a good 308 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 2: sign coming off of the mini bye with the Thursday 309 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: night football game. 310 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely, and obviously it's no secret that Lamar had a 311 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: tough game against the Bengals on Thursday night, and I 312 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: think that's important that you know, he gets sharp throughout 313 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: the week of practice, that he has a full week 314 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: of practice, which is what we expect from here on 315 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: out obviously to kind of get sharp and get that 316 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: mojo back a little bit, you know, and then obviously 317 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 1: just being at a healthier point than he was in 318 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: recent weeks when he wasn't able to practice on that 319 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: first day. So both good signs from Lamar Jackson and 320 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: let's be honest, him getting hot down the stretch is 321 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: paramount for this offense and this team in general to 322 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: win the AFC North. 323 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's not exactly breaking news that this 324 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: team is going to go. Lamar Jackson playing his best 325 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 2: football is going to be critical in this team determining 326 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: how far this team goes like that, There's no question 327 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: about that. And yeah, getting healthy is a huge be Basically, 328 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 2: it's get healthy so that you can practice, so that 329 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: you can continue to be sharp so that you can 330 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: then take it onto the field on Sundays and Mondays 331 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: and whenever the Ravens play. I think that that's all 332 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: of those things are connected. And just being out there 333 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: I thought was a good sign, and and and and 334 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: and I liked the energy from the team today. 335 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: The other really I liked Lamar's energy. He had a 336 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: little pep in his step. Yeah, like more than I've 337 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: seen in recent weeks during practicing. You know, he's just 338 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: taking snaps from under center and rolling back like in 339 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: a play action pass, and he's doing jump passes and stuff. 340 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, like you like to see that. 341 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: He's you can tell just from people that have been 342 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: around him for so many years here, like when he's 343 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 1: feeling better, and I think he is feeling better, you 344 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: you can you can. 345 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: Also tell, like the sense of urgency that he has, 346 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 2: and he he knows it's a five game season, uh, 347 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: five games left in the regular season, and like Lamar 348 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 2: understands basically that, like he understands this is the significance 349 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: of every single game and playoff opportunity at this point 350 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 2: of his career, and like he wants to maximize those 351 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: those chances. Because even though we just spent all that 352 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: time talking about Mark Andrews and getting that contract extension done, 353 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: there's a lot of pieces on the team that aren't 354 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 2: going to be back, and so the Ravens have the pieces. 355 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 2: They feel like right now they have the players, they 356 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 2: have the team, but they have to put it together 357 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 2: and first get to the dance and then see what happens. 358 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: Another nice note from practice today, and we talk about 359 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: pieces being on the field. The Ravens got two guys 360 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 2: back in the mix who are pretty significant players. One 361 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 2: is Tavius Robinson, who has been had foot surgery this season. 362 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 2: The others are Darius Washington, who tore his achilles back in. 363 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 3: The spring in May. 364 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, and when John Harbaugh said earlier he had there's 365 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 2: a chance he could come back and play this season, 366 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people kind of rolled their 367 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 2: eyes at that back in training camp and OTA's when 368 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 2: he made those comments. So there was still an opportunity 369 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: that he could come back and play. Well, he wasn't lying. 370 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: It's here we are in December, and Harball reiterated this 371 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: week that not only is he a bat Ardarius back 372 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: on the practice field, but he has an opportunity to 373 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: play in this week's game against the Steelers. Is remarkable. 374 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's eight months removed from the injury 375 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people expected, Okay, you know, 376 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: he's just getting back on the practice field. He's gonna 377 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: need time to ramp up, shake off the rust. 378 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 3: And you know, even. 379 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: I'll mention it because our guy jeff' threebeck at the 380 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: Athletic who I have a ton of respect for it 381 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: does a great job. 382 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 3: You know, it's just funny. He just got he roast 383 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 3: himself on this one. 384 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: He was like, you know, obviously are he tweeted, obviously 385 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: our Darius isn't gonna play, but maybe Tavius has a 386 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: chance this week as the Steelers. Then harpball a couple 387 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: hours later, it's like, Tavius doesn't have a chance, but. 388 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 3: Maybe our Darius. 389 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's like, which I mean, I would have 390 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 1: probably agreed with Jeff's assessment before harp said that, Like 391 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,479 Speaker 1: it was a surprise. You would think Tavius has been 392 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: sidelined for eight weeks. The other guy's been eight months. 393 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: Who's getting back on the game action earlier. But so 394 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: that was like the most surprising news of the day. 395 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 3: Jeff. 396 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 2: Jeff even like was like, just to make sure I'm 397 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: understanding correctly, like you're saying ar Darius has a chance 398 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 2: to play. 399 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 3: He was so shocked he asked the question twice. 400 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, and on on Tavius, you mentioned this, but just 401 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 2: to be clear, John Harboll said that there's not a 402 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: chance for him to play this week, but again, he 403 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 2: has been designated to return, so he has this practice 404 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: window where he can come back, get practice reps under 405 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: his belt and then see if he can come back 406 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 2: and end up playing this season and just get his 407 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: kind of knock the rust off and make sure the 408 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: foot feels good and all that. So, and the question 409 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: on like my question on our Darius has been like, well, 410 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 2: where do you put him? The Ravens added to Lohi Gilman, 411 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: of course they drafted Malachi Starks, Marlon Humphrey's been playing 412 00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 2: in the slot, Kyle Hamilton has been playing all over, 413 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 2: like where do the Ravens use him? And John Harbaugh 414 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 2: shed some light on that today, saying, like he plays 415 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 2: in the nickel. He plays a nickel spot, and so 416 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 2: it seems like that would be the most likely place 417 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 2: for the Ravens to use him if he goes out there, 418 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: ends up playing this week or in the near future. 419 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: Well, and the other player that returned from injury is 420 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: Nate Wiggins. You know, he suffered a foot injury in 421 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: the thanks Giving game which held him out for the 422 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: entire second half. He was back on the field today, 423 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: which was also really pleasant news. I thought I didn't know, 424 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,199 Speaker 1: but certainly when a guy misses half of football, you 425 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 1: don't necessarily expect him out there the next chance. The 426 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: minibis certainly helps, but that was really good. He was 427 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,360 Speaker 1: a limited participant. So we'll see how Nate Wiggins progresses 428 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: over the course of the week. But if our Darreus 429 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: can play, and that's it's possible. It's not probable, but 430 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: it's possible. If he can play, then that just gives 431 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 1: the Ravens that much more depth at corner. You know, 432 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: you have Marlin and Cheeto split in times that canate. 433 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: Does Nate play one hundred percent of the snaps like 434 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 1: he has been, you know, you just have a lot 435 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: more possibilities. 436 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and so all these things are are good signs 437 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 2: for this team as you get ready to play a 438 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 2: really physical game against the Steelers, knowing what's on the 439 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 2: horizon with that one. 440 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and you know this offense is gonna have 441 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: to get on track for shot. Bateman talked about that 442 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: in the locker room today, said it feels like it's 443 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: been out of sync really the whole season, and but 444 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: that they remain confident that they have the pieces, you know, 445 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 1: for what it takes, and that it's just a matter 446 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 1: of it kind of coming together and we've been waiting 447 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: a while, you know, but they're not ruling out hope. 448 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: He shot even said that you got to you got 449 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 1: to maintain your hope that you can play at that 450 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 1: level that you know you're capable of doing. And then 451 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 1: you know, Marlon Humphrey talked about and Rokwan Smith gave 452 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: a speech to the team about this game, the importance 453 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: of this game. Two six to six teams battle for 454 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 1: first place. You know what's on the line. And I 455 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: thought Marlon said it well today in the locker room 456 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 1: also that basically, if you can't get up for this game, 457 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, you don't you don't belong in this game 458 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: and you might not even be a Raven. And uh 459 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 1: so I think that it has been stressed and it 460 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: probably doesn't even need to be stressed that much about 461 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: how big a game this is coming up against Steelers. 462 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 3: A loo he going doesn't need to remind you. 463 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was say a loo he going also talked 464 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: about that and said he's getting sick and tired of 465 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 2: people telling him he's not a raven until he beats 466 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: the Steelers. So he's hearing about nine times a day 467 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 2: and he's about out his limit. So so I think 468 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,719 Speaker 2: I'm nominating you to go tell him tomorrow that he's 469 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 2: not a raven until he be servous. 470 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 3: Just getting breakfast. 471 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: Hey, hello, Yeah, I don't know if you've heard this, 472 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: but you're not a rack until he just throws he 473 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: throws down right there, right then and there. 474 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd like to see. I like to see what 475 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 3: happens there. 476 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 2: But yeah, the Ravens no like it. It's one of 477 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: those situations where you don't need to talk about what's 478 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 2: at stake in the significance of things, but the Ravens are. 479 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 2: They're talking about it.
