And you look 96 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: at Tom Brady you're, like you've said many times, he's 97 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: good man, He's got seven no doubt. Right, That's what 98 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: that's what it is like in your eyes when you 99 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: look at Tom Brady, what is it that made him 100 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: a championship quarterback? 101 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: I can't call it.

It's hard to come by the ring. 176 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 4: It's hard to come by, So I'd rather have a ring. 177 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 5: This is a civil question, but as a complicated answer, 178 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 5: I'm sure, Like what in your mind will it take 179 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 5: to win? 180 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 3: One? Man? 181 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 4: Just no when then when it counts, you know, just 182 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 4: get in that situation, you know, playoffs. You know, there's 183 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 4: always a thing about Oldamar in the playoffs, but I 184 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 4: don't believe people really watch Lamar play in the playoff 185 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 4: because Lamar is playing like a regular season game. Just 186 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 4: how perform in the regular season. I perform, you know, 187 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: the same. But it's like it's you got mistakes. You 188 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 4: can't really have mistakes, you know, and there got to 189 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: be all eleven, you know, all twenty two at all times, 190 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 4: just trying to dig it out, you know, try to 191 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 4: fight that fight for that victory, man, And that's the 192 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 4: only thing. You know, you got to lessen those mistakes 193 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 4: and try to punch points on the board. 194 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: And how yeah, I'm curious about that, Like how difficult 195 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: is that? You know, It's not like you want to 196 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: change anything because your two time MVP, one of the 197 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: best players in the world right, right, So it's not 198 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: like when you get into those moments or even your 199 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: approach the season, like you said, you're not approaching it 200 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: any differently, But at the same time, there is this 201 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: hurdle that you want to get over, right, So like 202 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: how do you balance? Like, you know what I'm I'm 203 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: pretty turn good and I want to keep getting better. 204 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: But I also don't want to change who I am, 205 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? 206 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, man, Just like you said, I'm just going 207 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: to that being who I am. 208 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 3: You know, I know what I want to do. 209 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: Everyone on the team, though, you know, all of us 210 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,239 Speaker 4: just got to join in together and just get it done. 211 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 3: That's all, because it's when to go home. 212 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: In those playoffs, you know, it's not like you can 213 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 4: lose a game and then Okay, I can prepare next week, 214 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 4: because the regular season, that's what it is like, Okay, 215 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 4: we got to go out there this week and perform 216 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 4: better than we did last week. 217 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: You only get one chance in the playoffs, you know, in. 218 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: Four quarters, and the more you have the ball probably 219 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 4: the more chance you're gonna have to win that game. 220 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 5: Do you at all feel you know, we had we 221 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 5: had Isaiah likely on the podcast recently, and he talked 222 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 5: about you being a vocal leader out in practice, holding 223 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 5: everybody accountable, execution specifics, wanting to be really detailed and 224 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 5: everything that you're doing, like wanting to excel on it 225 00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 5: out there on the practice field. 226 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: So that you can do it in the games. Have 227 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: you become more vocal at all this year? 228 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe so. Okay, I see that in myself. 229 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: You know. Sometimes RUnni be like, don't be on the 230 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 3: gods like that, and like don't be on. 231 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 4: The lineman as much or stuff like that. But I'm like, bro, 232 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 4: we gotta do it. You know, we're getting older. That's 233 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 4: how I look at it. It's not to be on 234 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 4: my guys, you know, because at the end of the day, 235 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 4: I know they want to win. I know they compete, 236 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 4: they busting their behind. But it's like we're getting older. 237 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 4: They need to hear that from me sometimes, you know, 238 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 4: cause me just sitting back, it's like, Okay, Lamar got it. 239 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 4: But it's like, no, I need y'all to have me 240 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: so I could have it. 241 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 3: You know. Stuff like that. 242 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 4: Just motivation. It's not never coming from a bad place. 243 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 4: Is always motivation to my guys. But it's how I 244 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 4: come by, you know, because they're not used to me 245 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 4: speaking that much, you know, probably in the locker room, 246 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 4: just playing around. But when that fit, they sitting on 247 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: the other side of me, like, nah, I'm hungry, you know, 248 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 4: So everybody got. 249 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 3: To be hungry. 250 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 5: It's just interesting because you make the point about getting 251 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 5: older and like a sense of urgency, and like it's 252 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 5: basically you and Mark Andrews and Ronnie on the offensive 253 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 5: side that have been here since you've been here. That's 254 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 5: the corps. And there's been a bunch of players that 255 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 5: have come and left in that time. And so like, 256 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 5: I think that the window of opportunity here is still 257 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 5: very wide open with you and and the core that's 258 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 5: in place here. But as you get older in your career, 259 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 5: like it seems to me, and hearing you talk like that, 260 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 5: you feel an even greater sense of urgency knowing that 261 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 5: you're going into year seven. 262 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: And the father time is there, Like yeah, like. 263 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 3: You're s and I'm only two to seven seven January. 264 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 4: But that just that's the that's the that's the way 265 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 4: of life, especially in the football life. You know, man, 266 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 4: you got to do it while you're young, you know, 267 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 4: because when you're old, there's gonna be younger younger than 268 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 4: you coming in, and they're gonna be hungry too, because 269 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 4: they want to win the Super Bowl as well, you know. 270 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: So that's why I just be on the guys more. 271 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: Now, that's all interesting. 272 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: So you talked about feeling more comfortable in Todd Mulkins 273 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: offensive year two. What aspect of operating this offense do 274 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: you feel more comfortable in? 275 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 5: Oh? 276 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: Me, just saying stuff earlier. You know, I'm sending defense. 277 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 4: I'm going to my checks already. You know, I'm getting 278 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 4: out of a play and put us in a better situation. 279 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 4: Stuff like that, probably what I would when I have 280 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 4: it last year, just because of the terminology and making 281 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 4: sure I'm doing it right, you know, just making sure 282 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 4: everything is done right. So now I'm a lot comfortable man. 283 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 4: You're going into year two in the system. 284 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: It sounds like you're talking a lot more getting on 285 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: the guys. We haven't heard Top Bunkin yelling as much anymore. 286 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: So I guess that's a good sign. 287 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,079 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's gotta be good. Gotta be good. 288 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: Can you can you talk about your connection with the Z's, 289 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: you know, I mean Zay Flowers I mean week one 290 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: last year. I mean you two just hit it off, 291 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: and Isaiah likely like we see you on the practice field, 292 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: like you two are together all the time, talking to 293 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: each other, breaking down what went right, what went wrong, 294 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: all that stuff. It seems like you have really developed 295 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: a special connection with them as well as you know 296 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: other guys like Mark and all these Mark. 297 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 3: Me and Mark. 298 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 4: That's just bread and butterler, right, No matter, like if 299 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 4: Mark just out in practice like for deal something, you 300 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 4: come back, it's still the same. 301 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: That don't change. Mark is not changing like you were saying, 302 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 3: like h they flower. He's just a different kind of 303 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 3: animal man. He's hungry, like just going into year two. 304 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 4: He's so explosive and how you get out of his 305 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 4: routes and it really don't matter. He can have an 306 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 4: outbreaking route and a guy have him outside leverage and 307 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 4: it's like okay, usually move on from a receiver knowing 308 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,959 Speaker 4: that corners outside leverage. 309 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 3: But him is like he still got a chance to win. 310 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 4: So sometimes I might hate going a little bit just 311 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 4: because I know he going to win, you know, and 312 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 4: he's going against great corners. It's not like he's going 313 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 4: against practice squad.

It's 381 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 4: like they go back and watching films. It's like, dang, 382 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 4: we would this. We had a chance that we would 383 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 4: have did this. We would have had a chance. Like me, 384 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 4: I'm the type of person I get tired of saying 385 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 4: that we would have a chance, that like we got 386 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 4: to do it now, you know, you got to do 387 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 4: it now. 388 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm curious. You talk about rushing and I don't know 389 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: if you've seen the stat you need eight hundred and 390 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: fifty two rushing yards to surpass Michael Vick for the 391 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: most ever by a quarterback. And I know you're not 392 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: a records guy, but you are Michael Vick guy like that. 393 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: He's special to you. What would that record mean to you? 394 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: You trying to get that one. 395 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: I'm trying to get a super Bowl like a record 396 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: come so big, you know, But that's not my goal. 397 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, if it happens, I'm manchurish it, you know. Yeah, hopefully. 398 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 4: The record won't be broken for a long time from none, 399 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 4: but right, it's not my goal. 400 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Follow Up on that, like, do you think you know 401 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: your days? We have Derrick Henry now in the backfield. 402 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: Do you feel like your days of rushing for a 403 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: thousand yards in this kind of offense like those might 404 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: be those might be gone, right and then it's a 405 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: different Lamar now, right? Or do you still feel like, 406 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I lost this weight. I'm go about his 407 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,320 Speaker 1: rushed for one thousand yards, run from four thousand. 408 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 4: Yards, whatever it takes to win. That's how I'm approaching everything. 409 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 4: That's how always the post that. You know, before we 410 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 4: had a run heavy offense too. You know, we had 411 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 4: a lot of re options going on, but now you know, 412 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: we throwing them all down the field. Then we got, 413 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 4: like you said, Derrick Henry, a bat that can go 414 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 4: for two thousand yards in the season, so probably wanted 415 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: to use my legs. And then we got Justice here, 416 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 4: we got j Kelly Man, we got Keaton coming back, 417 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 4: stuff like that. So we got guys. We always had 418 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 4: guys at running back. But you know, like I always say, 419 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 4: if if I get a lane, if I'm going trying 420 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: to score, I'm not trying to run and go out 421 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 4: of bounce a fall. If I got a chance to go, 422 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go right some. 423 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 5: A littamar one thing I want to ask you about, it's 424 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 5: a really difficult thing this week, which is the passing 425 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 5: of Raven's offensive line coach Joe D.

It shared some to me, 513 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 5: really good insight into just his mindset going into the season. 514 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 5: I mean, he sounds like a veteran player who's learned 515 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 5: from the experiences the last six years and knows that, 516 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 5: you know, there's urgency, there's real urgency for him in 517 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 5: this team. 518 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 519 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: I think there's veteran in multiple ways. 520 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: Right. 521 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 1: It's veteran in the way that he is approaching this 522 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: season and he feels the clock ticking, you know, like 523 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 1: we got to get this done now, and just the 524 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: maturity level the leadership that we're seeing on the field 525 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: from him the vocal aspect of his game and then 526 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: veteran in terms of the x's and o's and understanding 527 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: this offense to a different level, getting the Ravens into 528 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,360 Speaker 1: better plays. Right, Like he's just some more mature quarterback. 529 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: And this is what we've known all along. Super talented guy, 530 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: and as he matures in his game, he's going to 531 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: get better and better. And I think, you know this 532 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: is there's a real chance that this is the best 533 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: version of Lamar Jackson that we've ever seen this year. 534 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, Lamar's always been a leader in his own right. 535 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 5: I think he's a leader in ways where he understands 536 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 5: kind of the gravity of his position and he knows 537 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 5: when he speaks it carries weight, and he knows that 538 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 5: everyone's kind of looking at him. But it sounds from 539 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: what he's saying and what others around him are saying, 540 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 5: is that he is taking that to another level this 541 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 5: year from a vocal standpoint. He talked about that Isaiah 542 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 5: likely as we've mentioned to him on the podcast. You know, 543 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 5: he talked about Lamar really challenging the guys. Kyleven Noi 544 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 5: has said that I just think there's a number of 545 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 5: players who have kind of said Lamar is is really 546 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 5: holding everybody accountable this year. 547 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: Well, you know Isaiah likely yeah, said that as for 548 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: as good a training camp as Isaiah likely had, which 549 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 1: we gave him our gold medal, right for the best 550 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: that Lamar was saying to him, I know you have more. 551 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: I know you have more. There's more left there, right, 552 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: And that helped push Isaiah and then to hear from 553 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 1: Lamar that Ronnie Stanley is even being like, you got 554 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: to ease up on my offensive line in here, right, 555 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 1: Like that shows you something that's some insight right there, 556 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: a into Lamar and also into Ronnie right, and like 557 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: because that that position group is gonna be really key 558 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: because if they can't keep Lamar clean, if that's if 559 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: they have pressure in the backfield all the time, Mark 560 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: can't do his thing right. And so it's interesting to 561 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: see that Lamar is really holding those guys to a 562 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: high standard because he knows how important that is. 563 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. 564 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 5: I also found it interesting in hearing him talk about 565 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 5: the second year of the offense under Tom Monkin and 566 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 5: why he thinks and he's been asked a lot of 567 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 5: questions about Todmmnkin over the last two years and. 568 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 2: The second year and all that. 569 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 5: But the flexibility and the ability to kind of see 570 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 5: things at the line of scrimmage, I think is something 571 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 5: that we're just going to see more and more of. 572 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, We've I noticed a number of time times 573 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: in practice, you know, when that defense would be showing 574 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: blitz and you'd hear Lamar, see Lamar calling out different 575 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: things and one in particularly, hit a deep play to 576 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Zay Flowers after doing that. So that stuff it's so 577 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 1: hard for us to know, right because you don't you 578 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: don't know all the times that he's checking. You don't 579 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: know what he's checking from him two and all that stuff. 580 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: But there's no doubt that that has been elevated this 581 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: season and that was a big focus that Todd Monk 582 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: has told us about, is to put more and more 583 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: and more on Lamar's plate. And right now he's just 584 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: he's fastive. 585 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that. 586 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 5: The motivation has never been lacking obviously for Lamar. But 587 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: but I just I go back to hearing him talk 588 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 5: about just being an older player in the urgency and 589 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 5: you know, making the point that there's young guys that 590 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 5: are always coming up that are trying to take your 591 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 5: spot in the sense of, you know, like the Super Bowl, 592 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 5: it only gets harder in some ways, you know, getting 593 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 5: to that point and there's more and more challengers. 594 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 1: Well, and to me, it goes beyond motivation. Right. There's 595 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: a ton of players in the NFL who want to 596 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl. All of them do, right, and 597 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: and I do think Lamar it just radiates from him, right, 598 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 1: But motivation doesn't win super Bowls, Right, it's getting better 599 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,359 Speaker 1: as a player and experience of having been there and 600 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: all those things in Lamar You know, it's disappointing for 601 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: everybody that it hasn't happened yet because he's been so 602 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: good and this team has been so good so many times. 603 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: They're so closed last year they had the best team 604 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: in the league in twenty nineteen. Right, But I think 605 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: those experience have experiences have molded Lamar Kinson. It will 606 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: make him better suited to go all the way. And 607 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: he's still twenty seven, Like he feels father time a 608 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: little bit, but there's still a lot of time left 609 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: here if we're being realistic, right, So he's gonna have 610 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: multiple bites of that apple. And I think that all 611 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: these experiences, you know, and be able to see what 612 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: defenses are doing and being able to adjust. That is 613 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: a tangible thing that helps you win championships, right, and 614 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: all those things I think will help him get over 615 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: that home. 616 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 617 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 5: I thought he made the point that the ANFC Championship 618 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 5: game last year against the Chiefs opened the eyes to him, 619 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 5: with some of the other key players on this team 620 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 5: in certain ways just how hard it is to get 621 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 5: there and what you need to do and to get 622 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 5: over that hump, so to speak. So I'm excited about 623 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 5: Lamar this year. I think he's going to be great 624 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 5: once again. I think that this team is going to 625 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 5: be great once again. And in a few days are 626 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 5: gonna be playing at Airhead to open the NFL season. 627 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 5: Pretty awesome Thursday Night Ravens one week from today, Yeah, 628 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 5: one week from today, of course, a rematch of the 629 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 5: AFC Championship game.
