They were in some meetings today with some 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: of our coaches and that was really worthwhile as well. 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: Of course, coming off yesterday, we had kind of a 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 2: day of coaching clinic. So what questions you have about 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 2: the Ravens. 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 3: There's a lot of talk about Lamar when he said 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 3: he's lost a lot of weight. This this off season. 23 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: He said he's found to to something whatever. 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: Uh can you down to two something or whatever as 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,479 Speaker 2: well something? 26 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: Luckily I don't play quarterback, but we're all thankful. But 27 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 3: with Lamar, I mean, can you see that? Can you 28 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 3: see the weight lost one in? And what do you think? 29 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: What do you think of that? 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's fine. I don't I think that's Lamar. 31 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 2: He's a pro. You know, he knows what he's doing, 32 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 2: he knows where he wants to be with that. My 33 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: concern is that he's in shape best shape of his life, 34 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: and he's working toward that, and he's he's ready football wise, 35 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 2: all the details that go with that and mentally, physically, 36 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: spiritually ready to go. That's kind of what I think 37 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: about I do. I know he's you know, he talks 38 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: to the strength and conditioning people, He's got his own people. 39 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 2: He talks to Sarah all the time. You know, he's 40 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: a pro. He knows what he's doing. You encouraged by 41 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: the guys get out here. 42 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: It's work out that Inventum's getting out play. 43 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm always encouraged by everybody that comes out. 44 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: I just you know, to me, it's easy as a coach. 45 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: You know, we're here. We want to be here, we 46 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: want we want to we want to do football. We're excited. 47 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 2: And we had a heck of a practice out there 48 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: today and it was a lot of guys out there 49 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: today and it was exciting. And a couple of guys 50 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 2: were in, a couple of guys were here that weren't 51 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 2: out there, a couple of guys aren't here. It it's 52 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: all part of it. But it's uh, it's most of 53 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: the team out there practicing, so very excited about that. 54 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 5: Later doing joint protect with them. 55 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 6: Can you is that it or practices or or you 56 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 6: have another right? 57 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: Uh? That that's it. At this point, it's gonna be 58 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: one day up in up in Green Bay. We we 59 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: don't have anything else playing with the other teams at 60 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: this point. I don't think we will. But you know, 61 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 2: that could change. We could decide and talk to somebody 62 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: in Atlanta or Philly and do something. But right now, 63 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: that's that's where. 64 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 5: We're going Saturday game. 65 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: John. 66 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 7: There's obviously a lot of interest with the offensive line 67 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 7: and what it's going to look like this time. 68 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 2: You understand it. I have a lot of interest in 69 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: it too. I think about it pretty much every day 70 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: understanding OTAs and the structure that what are you really 71 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: looking at right now in terms of evaluate just where 72 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 2: these guys are. Yeah, you know, there's always competition for everything, 73 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: but it's not always the obvious combat competition. You know, 74 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,839 Speaker 2: they're not fighting battles out here against each other during 75 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: the play, but there's competition against assignment, footwork, timing, competition 76 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: against conditioning, you know, football shape, that kind of thing, 77 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: doing things the right way, technique, that's what guys are 78 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: competing against themselves and convenient against the clock. So they're 79 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 2: preparing for that. That combat competition is going to happen 80 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 2: in practice going forward. But we want to see guys 81 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 2: working together. We want to see them knowing what they're doing. 82 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: We want to see technique. I want to see cohesiveness, 83 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: all those things. This time last year we were out 84 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 2: here and Brandon Stevens was playing safety, and then of 85 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: course he gets juggling around, he ends up a cornerback 86 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: where he had played in college. What most impressed you 87 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: last year about the way he played cornerback and forth? Ye, Well, 88 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: it's always interesting. I think the best way I could 89 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: describe with Brandon is he's always been meticulous, detailed guy 90 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: wants to do things exactly right. I would say, as 91 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: you develop, when you when you never want to make 92 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: a mistake, you want do things exactly right. You're so 93 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: chances that way, it might slow your reaction time down 94 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: a little bit because you want to be right. Well, 95 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: his reaction time picked up. So through all that work 96 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 2: of doing things right, I think he gained some confidence, 97 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: he gained some suredness, maybe believed in his technique even 98 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: more and more as he knew more, got more experience, 99 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 2: and then he started playing faster, and he started playing faster. 100 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: He had already had mastered all the techniques in the assignments, 101 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 2: and it showed up in the in the in the result, Donkie, 102 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: you mentioned wanting you to see Andrew Orgy snack. 103 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 8: Out here after you know, a long year off. 104 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 2: Initial impressions in. 105 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 5: Him getting some work in. 106 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, he looks good, looks real good and shorts, you know, 107 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: and I think he's got a good chance to translate 108 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 2: that once we put the pads on a training camp. 109 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 2: Because he's strong. I mean, he's been in that weight 110 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 2: room for a whole year. It's all he's been doing. 111 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: He's been caged in the weight room, locked the doors 112 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: behind him. He just leave him in the weight room, 113 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: set him a meal, a couple of meals every now 114 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: and then in a protein shake, you know, and lift 115 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: another time. And there he is. You see him out there. 116 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 7: He looks really good, speaking offensive line and saws the 117 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 7: day in getting some Christine grips attack on Jones in Cleveland. 118 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 7: At the guards spots, obviously. 119 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: It's like you're charting when we're playing all these guys 120 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: or something. 121 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 7: Well, just we're lean in this process and kind of 122 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 7: de part is it a is it kind of you 123 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 7: sort of just look for the best combinations at this 124 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 7: point in trying. 125 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: To find you know, what would you like? 126 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: It's a great question. I think it kind of goes 127 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: a little bit back to the Brandon Stevens question. It's 128 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 2: like you just don't know what's gonna happen. You don't 129 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 2: know what guys are gonna look like. I always want 130 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: to look at guys at different spots, unless they're established 131 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: at that position, see where they see, where they look good, 132 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: where they look the best. You never know what you 133 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 2: might see, and then see where they're needed and also 134 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 2: where they might be needed sometime during the season, god 135 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Lamar said that. 136 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: The players are still talking. They still talk about that balls. 137 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: They answer Championship King balls. As a coach, it's kind 138 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 3: of like a coach Gecademy of question here. As a coach, 139 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 3: do you like that that still motivates the players or 140 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: would you prefer a let's let's. 141 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: Move let's move past that. 142 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 2: I think it's both, you know, I mean, you never forget, uh, 143 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: you forgive, but don't forget. Well, we don't really forgive either, 144 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: I guess, but we don't forget for or and try 145 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: to improve. It's all. It's always gonna be part of it. 146 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 2: I want them talking about everything. You know that what 147 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: we're talking about is confronting everything. It has to do 148 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: with us being the very best we can be as 149 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: a football team and as an individual player. So if 150 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: that's part of the confrontation of it, let's go, man, 151 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: let's talk about it, let's get better, and then let's 152 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: find a way to beat those guys. 153 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 9: Any motivation for week one, but I mean Kansas City 154 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 9: in the first game of the season, is that you 155 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 9: do you expect with sort of that afftertase, that guys will. 156 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 5: Be you know, hyper ready for the first time. 157 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: Well, I mean yeah, I mean they gotta be ready. 158 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: They would have been hyper ready. To use that term, 159 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: which is your term, just for the record, hyper ready. 160 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 2: I don't usually say hyper ready uber ready. Maybe that 161 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: you might have used that term would be even cooler. 162 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 2: You know, uber ready.

And you know, rivalries are big 683 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 8: around here, big in the NFL, but then they were 684 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 8: all str having to provide for our families and create 685 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 8: a better life for ourselves and those around those that 686 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 8: have brought us up. 687 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 5: So for them to have that opportunity, I don't fault them. 688 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 6: How much of an opportunity have you had to talk 689 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 6: to Nate Wiggins and just from being a number one 690 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 6: pick and the dB, what kind of advice would you 691 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 6: kind of give him about settling in here and being 692 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 6: ready to go and week four? 693 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it's And I've talked to Night. I 694 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 8: was actually on the plane coming up here when he 695 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 8: got drafted. Just so happened we were born at the 696 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 8: same time, so I met him then. You know, being 697 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 8: a first round defensive pick in Baltimore, there's a lot 698 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 8: of pressure on you know, there's a defensive held to 699 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 8: a high standard here by the coaches, by players, by 700 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:38,400 Speaker 8: you guys. 701 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 5: By the fans, all that stuff. 702 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 8: So it's a blessing and a curse, you know, to 703 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 8: have that focus on in an offensive league, on a 704 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 8: defensive player, it's great. At the same time, it comes 705 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 8: a lot of responsibility's responsibility and critique with that. And 706 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 8: you know, I went through, everybody's gone through. I've been 707 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 8: I've talked to Marlin about it, and so it's gonna 708 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 8: be tough. But I mean he's got a great head 709 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 8: on the shoulders, chill guy, a great football player, and 710 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 8: I think you guys will see that soon. 711 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 5: But you know, he's still super young. 712 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 8: Is he twenty? I think it's twenty years old. Yeah, 713 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 8: it's crazy. He can't even drink yet. So I mean, 714 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 8: if he gives up a bad play, you gotta have 715 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 8: that in. 716 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 5: The back of your mind. You can't have a MIC's 717 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 5: hardliminade or something. 718 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 9: Do you guys have games on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday, 719 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 9: Thursday and Saturday this year? 720 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 2: Curios a Monkey players? 721 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 9: Is there any concerned about how the league since. 722 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 15: To continue to add new league games in. 723 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 9: Short leaks for teams? 724 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I don't know if it's as much 725 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 8: concern as it's just more of a shock factor. Uh, 726 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 8: you know, I think there's you gotta be a tough 727 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 8: guy to play in this league, and you know everybody 728 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 8: will just accordingly. And I'm sure ten years from now 729 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 8: that might be the norm. And I feel like they 730 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 8: were doing the same They're probably doing the same thing 731 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 8: when they introduced Thursday games stuff like that, Monday games. 732 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 8: Probably the same conversation. Now it's the norm. So maybe 733 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 8: we're just at the beginning stages of that. But yeah, 734 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 8: it's gonna be a challenge just to reset. But at 735 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 8: the same time, I was talking to coach Harvest about 736 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 8: it earlier, like, we're not the only teams doing that, 737 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 8: So it's a matter of who's better at playing three 738 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 8: games in ten days. So it's just it starts now, 739 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 8: starts with your mental and physical stability and uh capacity, 740 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 8: and that's a situation. 741 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 5: But I think it's a it's gonna be a challenge 742 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:14,440 Speaker 5: for sure. 743 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 9: You tweet about the three games in ten days. Yeah, 744 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 9: obviously you can, you know, rationalize the kind of prepare 745 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 9: for it. It sounds like you guys are gonna prepare 746 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 9: for it. But when that first hit, what that feel like? 747 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 748 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 8: I was like, I mean, I haven't graduated yet, but 749 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 8: I was trying to do some math, like, alright, so 750 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 8: we play, I think it's December fifteenth, and then twenty first, 751 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 8: twenty fifth. I'm like, alright, twenty five minus fifteen. That's 752 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 8: ten in number, three games and ten days. And that 753 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 8: came up with the result. It's like, oh, we have 754 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 8: three games ten days. So I mean, but like I said, 755 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 8: we're not the only people doing that, and you know, 756 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 8: it's it's it's another obstacle in the way that we 757 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 8: just have to overcome. 758 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 5: And I think we have the right people do that. 759 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 9: The scheme as how much of a change has the 760 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 9: scheme been going for McDonald to or what's that transition to. 761 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's there's been a lot of similarities that. 762 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 8: Again, it's still May, so we'll see how that looks 763 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 8: in August September, Greening ready for the season. I'm sure 764 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 8: we'll add more layers to that, but I can already 765 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 8: see there's different wrinkles and stuff like that same family. 766 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 8: But I feel like, you know, Zeo's got his own 767 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 8: own flavor. He's gonna put on it, and I'm excited 768 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 8: to see what he does. 769 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 10: Success for you individually all pro and for the team 770 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 10: as well, get into the NFC Championship. What did you 771 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 10: take from the run you guys had last year and 772 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 10: you know, and what are you using to come into 773 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 10: this season as well? 774 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's it's something to look back on 775 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 5: and be proud of. 776 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 8: Obviously we didn't have the result that we had but 777 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 8: or that we wanted, but I mean getting that close 778 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 8: and knowing that you have the capability to do it. 779 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 8: We're uh, two three plays away from going to the 780 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 8: super Bowl, and who knows what happened in that game, 781 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 8: but I think you gotta cherish those seasons stuff like 782 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 8: that and build on them, because, like we were just 783 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 8: talking about Geno PQ, all these guys that we at 784 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 8: the time didn't really realize We're not gonna be playing 785 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 8: together anymore. It's not the same team. So I think 786 00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 8: you take seasons like that that are rare for a 787 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 8: team to go to AC Championship and you chairship. But 788 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 8: at the same time, we all have that bitter taste 789 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 8: in our mouth and we want to right our wrongs 790 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 8: and ultimately win a Super Bowl. So I think going 791 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 8: on this path and having that experience is going to 792 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 8: help us. 793 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 13: You talk about the legacy here, and with all this 794 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 13: free agency losses and Mike leaving and other coaches leaving. 795 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 13: As a defensive leader, how do you kind of look 796 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 13: at all, right, you know, how do we get build. 797 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 5: Ourselves back up to be that Baltimore defense again? 798 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it all starts at the top, you know, 799 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 8: with Harves hiring a guy like Zo and us. You know, 800 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 8: we lot of lost a good amount of coaches, but 801 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 8: we retained a lot at the same time, So it's 802 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 8: not like the culture shift or anything. 803 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 5: It's just same names in different positions. 804 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 8: So you know, we still got zero, still got Chris Hooters, 805 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 8: our dB coach, still got Harves, all that good stuff. 806 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 8: And you know, we got to strip down last season 807 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 8: excepted for what it was, improve on what we can 808 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 8: and come back into this season with some new faces, 809 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 8: guys who haven't played as much, but you know it's 810 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 8: ring for them, exciting for the defense to see what 811 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 8: they have and you know, in the season, preseason leading 812 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,760 Speaker 8: up to it, so who can perform. 813 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 6: Kind of family go for Mike to Zach. 814 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, might have so much credit for 815 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 5: content way that he taught defense. And however, you think 816 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,880 Speaker 5: team together, do you feel like it's more similar than 817 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 5: it is different with Zach coming in. I know it's 818 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 5: kind of early for you and just how fourth is 819 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 5: Zephyr the guy's kind of coming in having. 820 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 12: To learn this thing of it if you didn't. 821 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's definitely convenient for me. You know, I didn't 822 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 8: have to learn a completely new playbook, so that was awesome. 823 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 8: But uh, you know, like I said, he's adding his 824 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 8: own flavors and it's easier for us, like guys who 825 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 8: have been in the defense to maybe help younger guys 826 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 8: out because we're not as so much as learning the 827 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 8: playbook in terms of just like sharpening tools and stuff 828 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 8: like that. So if somebody has a question about something, 829 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 8: we know exactly how it's supposed to be played. If 830 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 8: somebody does something wrong, we know what they did wrong 831 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 8: how to improve on it. So I think it just 832 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 8: keeps continuity within the defense, within the team, and it 833 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 8: allows us just to play a faster. 834 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Rams Press Pass podcast, also head 835 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: over to the Lounge podcast feed.
