You know, how much does does that fuel you? 60 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: Does it put a chip on your shoulder? Do you 61 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: do you kind of pay attention to it to build 62 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: that chip on your shoulder? How do you handle you 63 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: most definitely pay attention to it, whether you want to 64 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: or not. You know what I'm saying, Like as a competitor, 65 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: does put a chip on your shoulder just because you 66 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: want to prove those doaughters wrong. Like even before last 67 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: year they were saying the same things and the year before, 68 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: in the year before, So it's just kind of having 69 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: that one track mind, you know, being focused on the 70 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: main thing, keeping that uh, you know, your your your 71 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: top priority in blocking out the noise. Is there a 72 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: feeling like, hey, I want to you know, you want 73 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: to have good practice for a lot of reasons, But 74 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: is there a feeling like I need to show the 75 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: front office too. It's not just the media and the 76 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: fans and all that I need to show the front office. Hey, 77 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: we don't need to sign of veteran. We don't need 78 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: to bring anybody else in here. We got all we 79 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: need in this room. Yeah, you take the worries right 80 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: out on. So when you guys, you know, I've seen 81 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 1: you over the course of these off season practices, not 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: just this year, but also in previous years. We've written 83 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: the story you know, James Prochet bowled out you know 84 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: at practice and and I think that like you really 85 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: showed a lot of people something, especially last year during 86 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: the course of the off season, and you continue in 87 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: training camp in the preseason.

I look 112 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: forward to us. So I mean also last year for you, 113 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: it extended into the season. I mean you your training camp, 114 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: you're hot to play extended and I'm sure you know 115 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: you feel like, hey, I could have had a bigger 116 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: role and put up even bigger numbers and all that, 117 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: but you made a lot of plays, you know, and 118 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: some clutch catches and you had the sense a game 119 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: very productive game for you. So how big was that 120 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: coming off a rookie season where you didn't see a 121 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: lot of offensive action to prove it was just because 122 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: like I knew I could play. This leaves all about opportunity, right, 123 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: And as I began to like just really hone on 124 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: control and control being the best team I could be 125 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: and just doing my job, like, it seems like everything 126 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: came to me. So I'm really excited to kind of 127 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: build on that last year, especially you know, my last 128 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: game being my best game of my career. So I'm 129 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: just excited to build on that and show people like, 130 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: with more opportunity, I could do a little bit more. Right, 131 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: Have they kind of told you or expressed kind of 132 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: what role they see for you this season or is 133 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: it wide open at this point? Is wide open right now? 134 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: So just trying to do everything right and right, do 135 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: every thing or everything wherever they need because last year 136 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: when I had my best games, like, I wasn't in 137 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: this slide. I was at people don't realize at X, 138 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: you know, like on my best games. So it was 139 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: just trying to be just available in the right spot 140 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: at the right time, doing my job at high level 141 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: at all time. It had to be kind of tough 142 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: for you. You You know, every player coming from college to 143 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, it's an adjustment, especially and for most guys 144 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,239 Speaker 1: you're not playing as much as you were in college. 145 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: But coming off a guy who had one hundred and 146 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: eleven catches his senior year and over your career you 147 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: almost had four thousand receiving yards like you were that 148 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: dude at SMU you called a lot of passes. How 149 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: tough was that for you mentally to go back to 150 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: not seeing a whole lot. I try to look for 151 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: lessons and like every aspect of my life. So you know, 152 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: when I got to go drifts about Baltimore, I knew 153 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: were running team. So I was just kind of asking 154 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: God to like open up my eyes, open up perspective, 155 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: or why am I here? What am I here for? 156 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: And every day there's a new lesson, like oh, when 157 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: I learn that if I was in Baltimore, when I 158 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: learn that I wasn't in Baltimore. I go against the 159 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: best vs every day and great coaches and is just 160 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: making me expand. Like if I went to the same 161 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: offense as SMU, I would be doing the same thing. 162 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: Like being up here as for using me to expand 163 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: my game, and I think it's going to create more 164 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: longevity for me in the long run. That's cool. Yeah, 165 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 1: As we talk about the receiving Corps, you know, coach 166 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: Harmon made the point last week when he was asked 167 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: about you guys and just made the point like at 168 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: some point you need to let players play, like you 169 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: need to let you know, you young guys get a 170 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,679 Speaker 1: chance to play rather than just go and sign somebody, 171 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 1: and that kind of blocks you from getting an opportunity 172 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: to play more. Is that something that like it's kind 173 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: of music to your ears and it's like this is 174 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: this is the opportunity that you've been looking for? Oh yeah, always, 175 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: man Like I always had year three plan on to 176 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: be like my year though, like even from before I 177 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: got in the league just kind of I know, like 178 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: I came from a small school, stay five years, Like 179 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: I just understand the politics of like how people get 180 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: drafted and is how his leagues work. So like my 181 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: rookie year, I didn't really think about that and learn 182 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: how to be a pro you know, do my job. Uh, 183 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: second year and expand a little bit more on that 184 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: and you know, you're three. That's what they say, like 185 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: are you gonna be in the league for a long 186 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: time or not? So right now, I'm just trying to, 187 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, prove myself that I belong here for the 188 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: long run. And uh, just you know it's really that 189 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: simple for me, man, Like it's the year. So yeah, 190 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm curious to go back to draft night and um 191 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 1: and you see Hollywood gets traded, So like what's going 192 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: through your mind as you're watching the draft unfold and 193 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: you see that happen and you're like okay, thanks, just 194 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: got a little bit different here. So at first I 195 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: was watching the draft because I was trying to change 196 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: number three. Obviously, you know, your first round, second round pick, 197 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: you gets you know, like Kyle Hemson, are you wears fourteen? Cool? Center? 198 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 1: Are cool? And then we went I'm like all right, 199 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm getting it. And then like I focused on like 200 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: because my mind said hasn't changed, like yeah, if Keith 201 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: was here or not, or will we bring anybody in? 202 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: I'm still trying to be him, like bet a guy 203 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: like and with that mindset, like I'm gonna be ready 204 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: no matter how, you know, because I have a plan. 205 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean who's earning. Ernest Hemingway, the plans 206 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: of mice and men often go arrived. You got me, man, 207 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. There's everybody you know, like whatever, you 208 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: you have a plan, you know, got last so right, 209 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: I definitely have a plan, have a goal set in place, 210 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: and no matter what the circumstances were, that was the plan. 211 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: So obviously what Keith leaving does open up a little more, 212 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: it's same mindset, same plan, like, no matter what without 213 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: external things are right now, you just got me imagining 214 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Linderbaum in a three jersey. I don't know about that. 215 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 1: What's the what was? What's up with number three? Why 216 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,719 Speaker 1: is that special to you? Of my college number? That's 217 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: the family brand? Channel three, Channel three, Yeah, boy family brand. James, 218 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: Joshua and Jacob brothers. We all when we were all separated, 219 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: me going off to college, my brother going to JUKO 220 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: in West Texas, and my little brothers still in high school. 221 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: We all were Number three kind of created the group 222 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: to stay together. Then we started. We kind of blew 223 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: up on our own same time, and as I was 224 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: blowing up, my little brother was doing his thing. My 225 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: middle brother stops playing basketball and he was kind of lost. 226 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: So we kind of turned this into like a brand, 227 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: kind of just give him something to be passionate about. 228 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: He's kind of taking it from ground zero too. We 229 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: got orders in India and UK and all types of stuff. 230 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: It's just crazy bigger and we haven't even like we're 231 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: still still level one, you know, right. I'm super blessed 232 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: to have like a dude like my brother in my 233 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: corner to kind of like, you know, expand that part 234 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: of a part of the brand. That's pretty neat. That's 235 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: pretty how much does it help to go through this 236 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: process with Devin Dune, you know, given that that helps 237 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 1: so much. Yes, we are like minded, like I'm a 238 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: little more outgoing he is, but at the base were 239 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: the same person as far as our perspectives on life, 240 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: how we look at money and how we work. I 241 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: don't know. He's just a great dude to be around, 242 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: you know, always holding you accountable, and he wants to 243 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: be the best. Like dude, isn't like I said, isn't 244 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: outgoing to me, But dude got that to him. Like 245 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: he's hyper competitive, like hyper competitive, you know what I'm saying. 246 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 1: So if anybody I liked beating and anything is dude, 247 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: he just pushes you, like you know what I'm saying. Dude. 248 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: It's like I kind of compare us to Antonio Brown 249 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: Emame Sanders being drafted by Pittsburgh in the third and 250 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: sixth round. So, uh, you know, we gonna see who's 251 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: gonna be who. You know, we just kind of waiting. 252 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: We're always pushing each other like it's always friendly come 253 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: to even when it's not friendly. We just want to 254 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 1: be the best men. Dude, Like it was a time 255 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 1: and practice of the day and we were both I 256 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: think I was supposed to come out, but I was like, dude, 257 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 1: let me get see. He's like, no, I'm Z And 258 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: I was like, I'MSI and I'm I just went to X. 259 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: And you know, it's just like just always competing man, always. 260 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: It's funny. Where do you you made the interesting point 261 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 1: about because I think that you do sort of get 262 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: put in the box of the slot receiver. Yeah, Like 263 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: but do you see yourself? Like where do you like 264 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: to be on the field? Receiver? Does? Doesn't on the field? Yeah? 265 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: The field? Like not on the sideline. Well that's why 266 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: it strikes me like that you do you you know, 267 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: and I'm sure other guys are kind of perfect Ravens receivers, 268 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I don't know, like 269 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: you want to be a badass. I don't know if 270 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: I could say that, but but like you're competitive as 271 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: hell and you don't seem like you got like diva 272 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: to you, you know what I mean? Like I have 273 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: no ego when it comes to shoot anything in life 274 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: now right, Like I've been like really this past three 275 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: years has been focused on like dying of self, lack 276 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: of self just because I know I didn't get myself here, 277 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: and I know I'm not gonna keep doing it, keep 278 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: doing this by myself. Like I don't try to make 279 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,839 Speaker 1: football my identity. I love being James Brochet first, you know. 280 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,440 Speaker 1: So anything any success that I get, I don't let 281 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: it go to my head. Any failure, I don't let 282 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 1: it define me. So right, It's all about just being 283 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: a regular dude and doing your job, you know. Like 284 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: it's a lot of glam and people because of the shield. 285 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: People love this shield is NFL. I'm noticing, like being 286 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: in the league, and that's where I guess people's egos 287 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 1: come from, like allowing other people to kind of boost 288 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: your head up when like you didn't just beat him 289 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: on that post. Somebody had to clear the safety out, 290 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And the line had the 291 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: block and the quarterback had to give it to you. 292 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 1: So right, Like I just I was just trying to 293 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: just be a regular person, could dude. And I think 294 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: part of it too, you kind of have to, like 295 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: you mentioned before, when you come to the Ravens your note, 296 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,599 Speaker 1: you know that we're a running centric offense. We're a 297 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: running offense, and you have to kind of, as receiver, 298 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: have a different mindset a little bit. You know, you're 299 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: not going to get the ball thrown to you fifteen 300 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: times a game or ten times or whatever. That's why 301 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: I was talking about that evolution and like forcing me 302 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: to be in positions and I used to that I 303 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: would have been in SMU, Like I know, SMU a coach, 304 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: I need the ball, the balls coming three times in 305 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: a row. Up here, I knew I had to start over, 306 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,680 Speaker 1: and especially with a running team, I just had to evolve, Like, 307 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to be the same guy 308 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: I was yesterday. Like I honestly get anxiety when I 309 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: feel staggnant or I feel like I haven't evolved in 310 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: any way. Like, so just being here as the perfect 311 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 1: situation to me, just because it's forcing me to be 312 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: a positioned that I never thought I would be in. Yeah, 313 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: I want to rewind a little bit. I mean, your 314 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: your work ethic is always kind of being a defining 315 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: characteristic for you. And I know in high school, you know, 316 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: you had a scary incident with your kidney failure that 317 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: put you in the hospital for I see you for 318 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: two days and then the hospital for two weeks. Longer 319 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 1: than that, I mean kind of took football away for 320 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: a little bit. I'm sure you know how challenging was 321 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: that for you to have it kind of it come 322 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 1: so close.

I've been the guy like before 391 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: where I wasn't level, Like you know, it's affecting me 392 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: on the field. Where I was up, I was down, um, 393 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: and I may have missed opportunities. So this over the 394 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: years is kind of Uh. I feel like I always 395 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: help people. Like my biggest skill, uh, even before catching 396 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: is awareness. Like where I am in life, I try 397 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: to always be aware of the moment um. In the 398 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: times I wasn't aware of a moment, I look back 399 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: and like, damn that could I wish I had that back. 400 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: I don't like that feeling. So I just try to 401 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: be aware of the moment um understand that just does 402 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: not make me or break me, because honestly, in a 403 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, like you know, if I get 404 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: hurt or something or I can't play no more, then 405 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying parche right, you know he'll be all right, 406 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: I'll be okay, right, But I love this so like 407 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 1: this continues exactly, yeah, exactly, so just just being even 408 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 1: killed like through the ups and downs of life. Yeah, 409 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: you spent some time working with them more of this offseason, correct, 410 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: And and how was that? It was great? Bro, Like 411 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: he's locked and h what do you say he's gonna 412 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: switch through the number one? And when you want to 413 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: super bow? He just said he's trying to be number one. 414 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: That's awesome. And now are those workouts, like I mean, 415 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: is that part the workpiece? But does it also important 416 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: just like just spending time together a teamates with them 417 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: because I don't really get a lot of opportunities I 418 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: have in the last two years, just first year Ricky 419 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: not playing, don't really know, trying to catch up. I'm 420 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: not really worried about billing relationship. Last year we got 421 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: a little closer. My locker's bout his him and Snoop 422 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 1: Man just like me, like I'm gonna rag on anybody, 423 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: So like me and him just ragging on each other, 424 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,440 Speaker 1: just talking trash. That's how people. So yeah, and you 425 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: know it helped and just being in the locker room 426 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,959 Speaker 1: and Lamar not a guy that like he could be 427 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: you know that's Lamar Jackson, but he acts like he's 428 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: just Lamar Jackson. Rope works at Croker. You know what. 429 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: I just type of attitude he is.

We both had the same amount of game, 449 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: so we're counting those. Yeah, but we all we all 450 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: to this day we talked about it and the number 451 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: you had to beat in your bowl game one or 452 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: six Okay. He was one of six. I had one 453 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: of eleven.

He had to think, I think 456 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: four to tide. Then I got, uh, four to tide, 457 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 1: and I got like five extra. I was gonna say, yeah, 458 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,159 Speaker 1: in case there was a stat correction or something. He 459 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 1: wanted to leave no stone unturned. I got even stayed. 460 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: We actually got blow out our ball game, like it 461 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: was just a bad game and my last play of 462 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: my career.

But you know, if I 490 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 1: could throw out, you know, some grenage, you know, more vedre, 491 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: so man a little the fermentation process. I didn't I 492 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 1: prune like a whole row grenage. So if I go out, 493 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: I could throw some terms out and I sound like 494 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: some lea, but I know I don't really know that. 495 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 1: Well that's kind of the key. It doesn't really matter 496 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: if you actually know anything. You just throw it out there, 497 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: and you just throw some words, you know really honestly, 498 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: like it's all perspective, like oh, this taste smooth, and 499 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: this taste buttery to somebody, or this taste like this, 500 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But there's there's obviously like 501 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 1: a general you can't say something smooth, you know, this 502 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: is a really sharp like yeah, like you know it's 503 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: not there. There's like a spectrum, you know what I'm saying, 504 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: spectrum of because everybody's taste buds are different. Everybody experiences 505 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: are different. Like grapes are affected different ways in different regions. 506 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: Even it's the same grape, like shoot, two grapes could 507 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: be growing on opposite side of here, but these grapes 508 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: is getting more sun, so you know it might be 509 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,119 Speaker 1: a little sweeter, or the tannins might be a little stronger, right, 510 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 1: stuff like that. See when I drink. Why I tried 511 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: to sound smart, I just it's all about the swooshing 512 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: of the wine. And then oh look at the legs 513 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 1: on that one. Well this is fun, man, Thanks a lot. 514 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: We really appreciated, James.

And I mean you can't come 531 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: away from a conversation with a guy like that and 532 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: not be rooting for him and saying, man, this dude's 533 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: just giving it everything he has. He's pouring it all 534 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: all into it and you see kind of you know, 535 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: John Harball talk last week about how hard these wide 536 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: receivers are working, right, and he just sees them really 537 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: attacking this opportunity. And when you're a coach, when you're 538 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 1: a general manager and you talk to these guys and 539 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: you see the work they're putting in, you know, it's 540 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 1: hard to say, you know what, now I'm going to 541 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: sign somebody and they're not going to get an opporun 542 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, I just feel like, 543 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 1: if I'm the GM, after that conversation, I'm like, hell, yeah, 544 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: let's give James a shot. Man. I believe in that dude, 545 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Well, and I think that's 546 00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: you know, Harball has talked about James a number of 547 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: times over the past two years in particular, and every 548 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: time he gets asked about him, he brings up how 549 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: hard he works. Yeah, he's one of the first guys 550 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: in the way around. He's one of the first guys 551 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: on the practice field every single day. And you know 552 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: a lot of people say like, oh, I work hard, 553 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: I work hard. Like I can tell you from watching 554 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 1: James Prochet, he works incredibly hard. Like this guy. This 555 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: guy leaves no stone unturned when it comes to like 556 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: making sure that his work ethic. Nobody out there is 557 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: gonna outwork him right or longer. Like he's not getting 558 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 1: tired at the end of the practice. He's not coming out. Yeah, 559 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: takes pride in that. Yeah, he's out there every single 560 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: day if he's got a bump or a bruise or whatever. 561 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: He's not like one of the guys that's like, ah, 562 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna take this day off. He takes no days off. 563 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: And I think that that is part of the reason 564 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: why he's going to get an opportunity here and now. 565 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: Of course you know, then you got to earn it, 566 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: and he's well aware of that, right um. And I 567 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: think that that's what this these offseason practices are really 568 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: significant for him and DuVernay and Bateman to show yeah, 569 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: m that the Ravens feel like, okay, we are we 570 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: feel good about this receiving Corps going into the season. Yep, 571 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: And I do like what I've seen from him. I 572 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 1: thought it was interesting him talking about like versatility, that 573 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: he's not just a slot receiver. I thought that was 574 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: like an interesting note. And he was the lead dog 575 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 1: X receiver at SMU, you know, but whenever we talk 576 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: about him, he got to just puts them that gets 577 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 1: put in the slot receiver box, right, because he's a 578 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: smaller guy of course, right, you know, he's not a 579 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: big body dude. So you just said, like, all right, 580 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: well he's a smaller slot guy. Yeah, And I don't 581 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: think the Ravens offense really operates like that. They moved 582 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: dudes around, I mean the receiver right exactly exactly. These 583 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: days you have these big slot receivers that are stretched 584 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: the middle of the field kind of guys. It's it's 585 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 1: not everybody kind of thinks of like the Julian Edelman, 586 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: you know, like typical like shifty, little small slat guy 587 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: that the Patriots had so much success with. It's different 588 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: than that these days, you know, they play all over. 589 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: So I thought it was really cool hearing about the 590 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: competitiveness between he and Dubernet. Yeah, you know, and how 591 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: much they drive each other. We didn't ask him about 592 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: his thoughts on Bateman, like being like that dude, Um, 593 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna back in here, James, Yeah, I want my question. 594 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: We didn't do a good job. That would have been 595 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: a good question to ask him. Yeah, well next time, 596 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: next should I do an impersonation? No impersonated the guy, 597 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: but no, I thought he was. Um, I look, we 598 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: we actually just had to just watch practice today. Um. 599 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: And I think that the receivers had had a good 600 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: day today. You know, last week, you know, there were 601 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: some James jen Havn't drops last week that I saw, 602 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: but the receiving corps I don't think it was particularly 603 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: great last week. But I thought the receiving corps had 604 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: a pretty good day today. Yeah. Um, James had a 605 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: nice snag. Bateman had a really nice snag over the 606 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,160 Speaker 1: middle of the field for about fifty yards touchdown in traffic. 607 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 1: Oh well, I thought you were talking about different when 608 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: he had a quick kind of quick uh. It was 609 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: a quick snap, two step drop, little uh slant over 610 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 1: the middle that he caught that going to the ground. 611 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: That was a nice catch. And he had a bomb 612 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: that he caught. Yeah, behind a couple of guys. Yeah, 613 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: so I thought that was an encouraging day for the 614 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 1: receiving corps. They even did have one drop and they 615 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: let him hear it, They're they're not letting him. You know, 616 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: everybody on this team knows the pressure on the wide receivers, right, yeah, 617 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: everybody knows. Yeah, And so, like I think it was 618 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: it was Marcus Peters who was just watching practice and 619 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, come on, you know, and 620 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: like they know, yeah, everyone. I mean, these guys are 621 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,479 Speaker 1: well aware of the situation. And James said it himself, 622 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: like we know what the deal is, right, and they 623 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 1: know that this is going to be a really important 624 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: few weeks and then of course once they get into 625 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: training camp. So, um, I'm excited to see what he does. 626 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: I do think that, Like I've liked what I've seen 627 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: from James when he's gotten on the field and he's 628 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 1: got reliable hands, he's tough, he's not afraid to go 629 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: over the middle and all that stuff. I think we'll 630 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: serve him. Well, I agree, I agree. All right, So 631 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: before we wrap up, there are any other big observations 632 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,160 Speaker 1: that you had from OTA practice. I'll give you a 633 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: couple that that stood out to me. One. I think 634 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: this is our first chance to see Nick Boyle. He 635 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 1: was not at practice last week. He was at practice 636 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 1: this week. Um, his wife just had their third baby, 637 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: so I don't know that's why he missed practice last week. 638 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: But but anyway, like he's like, nah, I'm out on 639 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: the baby. He goat. He is moving much differently than 640 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: he was last year. I think that was a very 641 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: positive sign something that definitely stood out to me in 642 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: watching practice. The other thing I thought the running backs. 643 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 1: The running backs had a really nice day catch in 644 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: the ball out of the backfield, Tyler Baby had a 645 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: nice snag, Mike Davis had a nice catch, Justice Hill 646 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: had a nice catch. Even pat Rick Card made a 647 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: nice one handed grab catching another backfield. Patrick Cards gonna 648 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: catch a ton of passes, but he had a nice 649 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 1: one handed grab coming out of the backfield. Right Well, 650 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: pat Rick Card's got the highlight of the day. That's 651 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: quite a day. No, Bateman Baby's long touchdown was a highlight. 652 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: But but so those are and I think that they're great. 653 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: Roman did talk about how they want to use the 654 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: running backs a little bit more coming out of the 655 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: backfield based on the skill set of those guys. They've 656 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: added guys who can catch. They're getting JK. Dobbins back 657 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: who can certainly catch out of the backfield. So those 658 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: are some positive notes that I took away from watching 659 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: today's practice. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I thought the offense 660 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: had a better day than last week when we watched practice. 661 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: You know, Tyler Heupley made some nice throws. Yeah, he 662 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: had some. He had some really nice so yeah, I 663 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: mean he had some missues, but um some some really 664 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: nice plays. I think. I think that Dale and Hayes 665 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: continues to be a guy that shows up a little 666 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: bit for me. You know, it was cool to see 667 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: Marks Williams in there moving around doing some more stuff. Yeah. 668 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I wouldn't say there were any like huge 669 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: takeaways from practice for me, but Nick Boyle being back 670 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: on the field and moving around a lot better is 671 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 1: a big deal for this offense. I think that people 672 00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: don't really realize how big a loss that was in 673 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: terms of the Ravens running game, not having him at 674 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I don't know what percentage he was 675 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 1: at last year, but I mean Greg Roam was like, yeah, 676 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: he was basically just grinding it out. Happy to get 677 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: anything from him and like applaud him for doing so. 678 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean Mark Andrews talked about how we're 679 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: all gonna be shocked at how well Nick bole was 680 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: moving and it was not just like it was not 681 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 1: slip service. Yeah. Sometimes you hear somebody say something like, well, 682 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: we'll see and then we saw this week and you're like, oh, wow, 683 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: he looks like a different player. Yeah, for sure, So 684 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,880 Speaker 1: that was good. So yeah, I mean I think that obviously, 685 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson continues to be a huge story. When is 686 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: he going to show up? We all hope he does soon. 687 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 1: But I don't think that the you know, the Ravens 688 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 1: are still moving forward and they're getting some good work 689 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: in the defensive backs. Tony Jefferson's moving really I think 690 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: Tony Jefferson looks really good. You pointed that out as well. 691 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: Jellen Armor Davis had an interception that was good to 692 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: see off the tip ball. So yeah, the Dbs, I 693 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: think are starting to build some of that kind of 694 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: swagger that you like to see. I mean, this secondary 695 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be pretty legit, and it's just kind of 696 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: fun to see them flying around and starting to get 697 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: that cohesiveness and you want your secondary feeling cocked. Well. 698 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: They also, you know you mentioned Marcus Peters giving Bateman 699 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: a hard time. Tony Jefferson is always talking out. Marlon 700 00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: Humphrey is probably like right now, especially with Clay's Cameron 701 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: not out there like the leader. I would say of 702 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: the defense from a vocal stampoint, he's the most talkative guy. Um, 703 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 1: he's moving well. And so you got Tony talking, Marlin talking, 704 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: Marcus Peters talking. So that group definitely has some swagger 705 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: and it's fun to see. All right, So we have 706 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 1: one email here. This one comes from James Cunningham. He says, 707 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: podcast podcast question from the UK. All right, I love 708 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: our We always love our international lounge listeners. He says. First, 709 00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: want to say big thanks for keeping us entertained over 710 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: the offseason. Following all along the Ravens news from the UK. 711 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 1: I wanted to add, although Garrett is a very gangly 712 00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: person with some resemblance to a daddy long leg I 713 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 1: don't think Ryan has the right to mock Wow. I 714 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: appreciate it, James, I appreciate it. Let's just be clear 715 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: that daddy long legs is a term of endearment thank you. 716 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Yeah, I mean that's what I really 717 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 1: started on the soccer field. Like Garrett is not a 718 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: particularly good soccer player, I will not even pretend to 719 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,600 Speaker 1: play that. I'm a good soccer player. I grew up 720 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: playing soccer. So like, I think we can both agree 721 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: on this. I'll give you soccer, you'll give you soccer. 722 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 1: But he's got this dang long legs. It's a problem 723 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 1: I call I'd always call him soccer field dad. So anyway, 724 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: we'll skip this next part because he talks about how 725 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 1: you're more consistent with your takes and predictions. But we'll 726 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,239 Speaker 1: just skip over there. Yeah, that was the most important one. 727 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: So he says onto the question, every so often we 728 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: see a player seemingly come out of nowhere and take 729 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: a big step up to help the team. Who do 730 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: you think could be that guy this year? Well, I 731 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: think you just mentioned Dalen Hayes. I do think he 732 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: has that potential. Yeah, yeah, okay, there could be a opportunity. 733 00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 1: There could be a real opportunity there. I mean, the 734 00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: Ravens are thin, it past very thin, especially right now. 735 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm odafe always coming off shoulder surgery. Yep, ty spous 736 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: just coming off with torn achilles. David I Jabo is 737 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 1: coming off a torn achilles yep. Always practicing but limited, 738 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 1: and so like Dalen Hayes getting a ton of reps, 739 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: and Mike McDonald talked about that and some of the 740 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: other outside linebackers. So I like what I've seen from him. 741 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: I do think that he showed flashes last year before 742 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,480 Speaker 1: basically missing his rookie season with different injuries. So I 743 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: think he could come out of nowhere and have I 744 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: don't know, could he have five saxes year? Oh? I 745 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: I definitely think Dalen Hayes could have five saxes here 746 00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: and that would be a contribution. That would be nice, 747 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: that would be very nice. I think that's a good pick. 748 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,399 Speaker 1: I would of course give a nod to our guest, 749 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: James Purchet. I didn't know if he classified as that. 750 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 1: I mean Ravens fans, you know, I think Nash coming 751 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 1: out of nowhere because he's a wide receiver, but like 752 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 1: you know, I mean a much bigger role and could 753 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,080 Speaker 1: be like a very key player. I would say James 754 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,799 Speaker 1: obviously would be one of those guys. And I'll point 755 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 1: to one other player and that'll be Tyree Phillips. I 756 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 1: think that people are kind of sleeping on Tyree a 757 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: little bit and they forget that he one the starting 758 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: left guard job out of training camp last year. He 759 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:04,759 Speaker 1: was the Week one Sorry, he just got injured in 760 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: Vegas and then he came back and you know, he 761 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,680 Speaker 1: had to bump out to write tackle to really help 762 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 1: out there when McCarry was hurt, and he's just kind 763 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,479 Speaker 1: of bounced around. And I think that the Ravens now 764 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: with improved tackle depth, hopefully they can keep Tyree at guard. 765 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: And if he's there competing with Ben Cleveland competing, you know, 766 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,760 Speaker 1: maybe with McCarry competing, you know, with some other guys, 767 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,520 Speaker 1: Ben Powers being one of them. I think Tyree has 768 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: a real shot to open up is the week one 769 00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: left guard starter. If he can stay healthy that I 770 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: think he can be a very good left guard. I 771 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: think that's a very good I agree with you one 772 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 1: hundred percent on that. I like Tyree Phillips. I like 773 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: him a guard, and he's been dealing with injuries over 774 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,320 Speaker 1: the for his first two seasons and just moving all 775 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: around the offensive line because of other injuries. He looks 776 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: good too. Yeah, he looks like he's in shape. He's 777 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:59,080 Speaker 1: like just I mean big, but like a little trimmer. Yeah, 778 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,080 Speaker 1: kind of you know, you often see that with like 779 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 1: young offensive lineman, they kind of that baby baby weight 780 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: comes off a little bit, especially when you get into 781 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: your third you know, talk about third season. He's in 782 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 1: that third season guy make a break, make a break year, 783 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: and I could see him having a really nice year. 784 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: Two guys at James pointing to our Jalen Ferguson and 785 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: Ben Cleveland. Ferguson would fall in that outside linebacker category 786 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: that we were talking about with Dalen. And one thing 787 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,840 Speaker 1: that was of note certainly from OTAs this week because 788 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: Jalen wasn't out there the first week, is that he 789 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: has lost some weight. We don't know exactly how much, 790 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 1: but to the eye test. On the eye test, it 791 00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,960 Speaker 1: certainly looks like he's taken off ten fifteen pounds. And 792 00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: so you have to wonder whether you know, he's been 793 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 1: a very good run stopper, but is he does he 794 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,880 Speaker 1: know and think, hey, I have to get some more sacks. 795 00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 1: Sack daddy got to get some sacks, you know, in 796 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: order to kind of prolong my career and break out. 797 00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: You know, that could be part of the thought process 798 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,120 Speaker 1: for him, Ben Cleveland's got to stay on the field, 799 00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,400 Speaker 1: so yeah, but yeah, he could certainly emerge in his 800 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: second season. Yeah, I mean, the left guard competition is 801 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,160 Speaker 1: so wide open. Benk Cleveland was not out there on 802 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: the field today, but yes, he's gonna have an opportunity 803 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 1: as well. So we'll get a chance to see the 804 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: guy's back at work again next week for OTAs and 805 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: then all three days of minicamp the week after that. 806 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: So let us know what questions you Hey, you can 807 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: email us at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot 808 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,120 Speaker 1: net thanks to our guest James Rochet, and we will 809 00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 1: talk with you next week.
