Speaker 3: So you guys out there braving that first fifteen minutes

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 3: of outside and that Colt so that was that was

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 3: good to see for us. You know, we're just looking

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: forward to this opportunity. You know, we get to go

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 3: up against face a good Houston Special teams unit.

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Those guys have been great all year. You know, it's

13
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: just good.

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a good challenge for us and our

15
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: guys to just go out there and really just take

16
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: care of our business and do what we do.

17
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 4: Questions, Chris, how do you feel Devin Duverney has been

18
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 4: progressing back from injury and what you've seen him from him.

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: So far, He's been great since he's gotten back out there.

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: Just you know, he's just fit right back into where

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: to where he left off. You know, he came back

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 3: and started to get those opportunities. We put him back there,

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 3: let him, let him feel some of those punts, feel

24
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: some of those kickoffs.

25
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: And he looks good. He looks like he's ready to go.

26
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 5: But is the idea that if if he is out there,

27
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 5: that he would resume those responsibilities.

28
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: Of course, I mean, you know, it's it's uh it's

29
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: it's his it's his job before he got hurt. Right,

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: It's one of those things we've had, Like I said, man,

31
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: we got guys that.

32
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: We could that we could throw back there.

33
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: If the weather's back, you know, there's an opportunity possibly

34
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: could see two guys back there, you know. Uh So,

35
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: just just giving those responsibilities and given those options that

36
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: we do have, you know, I think it's it's good

37
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: for us to to, you know, put our put our

38
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: pro our Pro Bowl player back there.

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 6: I didn't.

40
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 7: I believe Texans scare scored very highly in those recent

41
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 7: special teams Ryan gigs that people cite.

42
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 8: What what is it especially that makes them so good?

43
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: And in that face of the game, you know, Frankie's

44
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: done a good job. You know, he's done a good

45
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: job with the guys that he's got. They got a

46
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 3: good they got a good core group. They got some

47
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: veteran guys, some guys that have really made their mark

48
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: through special teams, and then they got some young guys

49
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: that have that have played well for him just throughout

50
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 3: the entire year, you know, and then and they do it.

51
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: They just do a really good job.

52
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 6: You know.

53
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: They play fast, they play physical pretty much. I think

54
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 3: what you'll see from the rest of their team right

55
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: just kind of what the head coach is instilled in

56
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 3: those guys. And that's what you're getting on special teams.

57
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 3: But uh, you know, for us, it's just go out

58
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: and just really go play our game and let's go

59
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: do what we do.

60
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 9: Chris. We've certainly asked you a lot about weather Overdeus,

61
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 9: but usually wind and rain. I mean, you you reference

62
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 9: to the player, what.

63
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 6: What effect does cold have, especially on the kicking game,

64
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 6: you know.

65
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: Obviously, uh, ball flight, you know, obviously it affects the

66
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: ball flight and things like that.

67
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: But as far as any anything else.

68
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: You know, those guys, those specialists, they go out, they

69
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: take care of the fundamentals and you should be able

70
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: to get, you know, what you need out of it.

71
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: For us, we practice on field three, you know, and

72
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: it's windy, it's cold out there all the time, so

73
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: I don't think this should affect us too much.

74
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: That was specially teams coordinator. We also heard from offensive

75
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: coordinators Todd.

76
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 10: Munkett, what do you what do you see from Lamar

77
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 10: this week? Game players?

78
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 11: In this big game?

79
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 8: He looks loose out there?

80
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 9: Just what do you see from that? Yeah, that's good

81
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 9: because you locked in.

82
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 10: You know, it's what you spend off season, you know,

83
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 10: training camp, then you know, all the work you put

84
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 10: in during the year put yourself in this position. That's

85
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 10: what you do. So now it's it's a one game season.

86
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 10: Somebody said it's not a three game season. It's a

87
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 10: one game season. I mean, we've got to win this week.

88
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 12: We've seen seems like the Buffalo you know, lead into

89
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 12: the kind of quarterback run game in the playoffs when

90
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 12: when they get there, are are there certain buttons that

91
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 12: you are maybe more comfortable booking at now?

92
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 8: Do you think that you wouldn't houses in the season?

93
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 10: I don't know if i'd say from the regular season.

94
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 10: Do I think we've improved over the course of the season, Yes,

95
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 10: gotten more comfortable with you know, our personnel where we're at.

96
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 9: How do you utilize them?

97
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 10: Yes, but I don't know if anything from the regular

98
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 10: season to now changes because we are who we are.

99
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 10: Seeing how the Texan gotten better over the course of

100
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 10: the season, especially with their right defense, well I just

101
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 10: think they're getting more and more comfortable with the scheme.

102
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 10: I mean, it's you know, they're a different team now,

103
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 10: and we are just like every team in the NFL,

104
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 10: for better and for worse, You're you're not going to

105
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 10: be the same.

106
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 9: Team you were Week one. Hopefully it's for the better.

107
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 10: I believe we are, especially offensively, and they are, I mean,

108
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 10: you know, defensively, new staff, offensively, new staff, everything else

109
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 10: was offensively new no preseason, So you're going to see

110
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 10: them doing it better, you know, just consistently doing it better,

111
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 10: feeling more and more comfortable.

112
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 9: You know, That's what you see.

113
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 10: That's a lot of the same players, it's the same coaches,

114
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 10: just the same scheme.

115
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 9: They just seem seem to be doing it better. And

116
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 9: they're aggressive.

117
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 10: I mean they're they're aggressive and they're very active upfront.

118
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 10: Their safeties are good players in the box, good tacklers.

119
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 10: So we have a work cut out for us.

120
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 9: How Mark Andrews kind of looked at practice for good.

121
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 13: If he's able to play, how does that with Isia luckily,

122
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 13: with what he's been able to do?

123
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: Uh, how does that? Maybe?

124
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 10: You know, we'll just have to see. It's kind of

125
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 10: hard right now to say that. You know, it's day

126
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 10: to day and it's not only that, it's not only

127
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 10: the practice. That's the how Mark feels afterwards. You know

128
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 10: how his body feels, you know what it tells him.

129
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 10: And then you know, should he be able to go,

130
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 10: how we can implement him in the game plan? You know,

131
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 10: And that's kind of what you asked me, But I

132
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 10: really don't have the answer right now. You know, we're

133
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 10: excited that he's back out there practice and I can

134
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 10: tell you that Nicole would.

135
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 14: Win like you're going to see Saturday. How important is

136
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 14: just mindset versus Is that the biggest part of fighting

137
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 14: through that and dealing with it?

138
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 6: Sure?

139
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 10: I think mindset's a big part of it, you know,

140
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 10: being mentally tough, anticipating that what to expect. We got

141
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 10: out there today, which was good, tied in drain camp.

142
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 13: He said that quarterback empowerment for the stack can bring

143
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 13: authentive here to hear, how would you track that progress

144
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 13: with the art. Of course, you can use your hand

145
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 13: if you don't mean.

146
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 9: You got the old Ricky Bobby thing working. Don't know

147
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 9: what to do with my hands.

148
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 10: You know, it's always a work in progress. I don't

149
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 10: care who it is. You know, we've come a long way.

150
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 10: I will say that, from off season to training camp,

151
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 10: to the start of the year to trying to eliminate

152
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 10: a lot of the drag that we had early in

153
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 10: the year, starting with me, how I did it, and

154
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 10: then the communication what he likes, who we have personnel wise,

155
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 10: how we build it each week, who were playing him,

156
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 10: being comfortable to be able to say what's on his mind.

157
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 10: It's just not empowerment in terms of on the field.

158
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 10: It's off the field. It's everything. It's leadership. It's being

159
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 10: able to communicate his thoughts, likes, dislikes, how he sees it,

160
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 10: what he heard of what I said, because it doesn't

161
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 10: matter what I say if he didn't understand that part

162
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 10: of what I was trying to get across, or we

163
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 10: were it's not me, our staff, Okay, that's what we're

164
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 10: trying to get across, and that's not any We just

165
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 10: haven't been together a long long time. You know, so

166
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 10: the longer you're together, the more you understand like each

167
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 10: other and likes and dislikes.

168
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 5: All security obviously that's a big point of emphasis every week.

169
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 5: But you know, when you're going up against a defense

170
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 5: like this, then that really depends heavily on their takeaways.

171
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 5: Is it stressed anymore this time?

172
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: I am.

173
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 10: I wouldn't say it's stressed any more than it has been,

174
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 10: because we know it's the number one indicator winning and losing,

175
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 10: taking the ball away or giving the ball away, and

176
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 10: it's it's even more important the NFL, just because that

177
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 10: you know you're going up against really good teams every week,

178
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 10: so it's every possession super important as we know, and

179
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 10: giving the ballway eliminates any opportunity to score, to get

180
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 10: points on the board.

181
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 9: So I wouldn't say it's stressed anymore other.

182
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 10: Than you understand that when you're playing against really good teams,

183
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 10: which they are. The teams that are left are really good,

184
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 10: you can't waste opportunities and give them opportunities to put

185
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 10: points on the board and take away and take away

186
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 10: momentum or add momentum. You saw it in some of

187
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 10: the games this weekend when you watch it that the

188
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 10: momentum is a powerful thing.

189
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 6: Game.

190
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: What did that game against the Texas also show you

191
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: about him? And where have you seen him make his

192
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: biggest improvements over the.

193
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 10: Course of his orvices. Well, the things he did in

194
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 10: the first game you still see today is athleticism. You see,

195
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 10: you saw that making people miss, trying to get him

196
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 10: in space. Where he's improved dramatically is just playing the

197
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 10: position strong. That's that's too strong. It's really in terms

198
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 10: of what we're asking him to do in terms of

199
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 10: just conceptually the routes, spacing and when we move him around,

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 10: which is hard for a rookie, you know, just being

201
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 10: dialed in.

202
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 8: That was O. S.

203
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: Todd munkin next up is defensive coordinator at Mike McDonald.

204
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 4: All right, good to see every buddy before we get going. Uh,

205
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: just great to be able to practice outside. So shout

206
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: out to our ground screw man to clear that field

207
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 4: out and make it unfrozen. Was pretty impressive. It was

208
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 4: cool to hear how they did it, but that was

209
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 4: pretty neat. So any questions of my ears, how you.

210
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 11: Know you sold CJ in that first game in watching

211
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 11: him now and you know what's the biggest difference to

212
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 11: you see in his.

213
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: Game now, Well, we were really impressed in the first

214
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: game too. We knew going into the game that you know,

215
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: if you if you remember me talking about it back then,

216
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: was we didn't feel like you were going against a

217
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: rookie at that point.

218
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 8: So I think you're just seeing the natural progression of

219
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 8: of of over the course.

220
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 4: Of the season, just being more comfortable with than the system.

221
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 4: And you can tell the systems growing around him, and

222
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: you know they've evolved as we have as well, you know,

223
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 4: So I think that's what you're saying, But definitely a

224
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: lot of respect for what they're doing and how he operates.

225
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 12: I got I think it's gonna be your take, your

226
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 12: third time going against CJ. Going back to your days

227
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 12: at Michigan. Obviously, you know there's not a lot of

228
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 12: there's not too much dissimilarity between like what defenses run.

229
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 12: But do you go as far back that as far

230
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 12: back as you know, twenty twenty one to see maybe

231
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 12: how he kind of reacts with the stuff that you'd

232
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 12: like to run, or was that you focused more so

233
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 12: on this season?

234
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'd focus more on this season.

235
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 4: The system that he's running is pretty drastically different than

236
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: what he was doing in college. And yeah, we haven't

237
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 4: thought about that game at all.

238
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 9: Really, mich are you.

239
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 5: Saying and is from this offense? Are you saying anything

240
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 5: that some of the same principles maybe especially as some

241
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 5: of the down the bail pass and that maybe you

242
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 5: did see in your time in college.

243
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: Well, there's going to be carryover on routes because there's

244
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 4: only so many things you can do with eleven guys.

245
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 8: But uh, it really is different.

246
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 4: I mean the system, how they're operating and marroring the

247
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 4: run in the past and things like that, I'd say it,

248
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 4: you know, and they've evolved over the course of the.

249
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 8: Season, you know.

250
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: I mean obviously he's comfortable with certain things that they're

251
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 4: you know, emphasizing, and like any good offense is gonna do,

252
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 4: you're gonna tail it around, you know, the people that

253
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 4: you have, especially the quarterback.

254
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 8: Like what's really stood out to you by the way

255
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 8: Ronald Darby and has played this year Wow consistent. I mean,

256
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 8: he's always right at me.

257
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 4: His role has kind of evolved from week to week,

258
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 4: so you know, he started out this season play I mean,

259
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 4: he's just played great football for us. So that's probably

260
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: the best compliment I can give you. But he's always

261
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: ready to go, even if he's not in the starting lineup,

262
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: So whatever his role is, and he's been right there,

263
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: ready to rock.

264
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 8: But we expect from everybody and.

265
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 9: Patrick Riccard, you have.

266
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 13: A player who can kind of blurred line between a

267
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,719
Speaker 13: tight end and a full back the technics kind of

268
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 13: and stuff like that.

269
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: And you guys have.

270
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 13: Played the forty nine Ers and Dolphins recently, they also

271
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 13: do that kind of challenges is that put on you?

272
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 13: You have the personnel in the field and then how

273
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 13: they can line up in any formation.

274
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, all those teams do a great job of manipulating

275
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: their personnel. It just like you don't know who's going

276
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 4: to be in the you know, traditional spots so to speak.

277
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 4: But you know, it does test rules a little bit

278
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 4: in some of the coverages you want to play without

279
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: getting the kind of into the weeds about it, but yeah,

280
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 4: you just just you have to understand where they're lining

281
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 4: up and what they do from those different spots. A

282
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: lot of times it's really just to put the guy

283
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 4: that they want to get the ball in a certain

284
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 4: position a certain matchup too, So it's more like a

285
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 4: chess piece more on the.

286
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 13: Players before this and app to kind of like make checks.

287
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: I mean, call the call based on where they're at. Yeah,

288
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 4: but it's not any different than any other offense.

289
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 8: You know, you're just.

290
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: Gonna you know, there's you can't be doing all sorts

291
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 4: of things where you're playing matchup ball all the time

292
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: because they just you know, they could end up anywhere

293
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 4: on the field. Mike, the Texans lost the big pieks

294
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 4: and can't bill over a little over a month ago.

295
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 13: But the offense has still been common and putting up

296
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 13: for how they've been able.

297
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 8: To with fan that ball.

298
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: Uh well, I mean a testament to who they have

299
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: and how they're operating and tailing her to the guys

300
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 4: that are available. I mean, they have not been a

301
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 4: you know not they haven't had everybody available over the

302
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: last I don't know, ten weeks. You know, every every

303
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: game it seems like they're missing at least one piece.

304
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: That's kind of part of the you know, evolution or

305
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 4: part of their system. So and they happen to your point,

306
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 4: they really haven't had a drop off. So just like

307
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 4: our defense, if guys go down, man, it's like, I mean,

308
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 4: there's storylines behind it and all that. But like the

309
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: guys in the room, like it's we're ready to go.

310
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 4: The next guy's he's preparing just like everybody else. So

311
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: they're ready to step up and just you know, speaks

312
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 4: with what they got gone going on over there, Like just.

313
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 14: Like for you getting ready for your first playoff game?

314
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 14: Is it the second playoff games? A coordinator when you

315
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 14: know that you're the one seed, all the expectation of

316
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 14: possibility of what this group could come together, what is it?

317
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 9: Does it feel like?

318
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 4: I feel it's it feels like another game. You know,

319
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 4: you guys that know how.

320
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 8: We operate here.

321
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 4: We want to emphasize play to play, you know, down

322
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 4: to down, drill the drill day to day. I mean,

323
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: that's that's really our focus right now. Today is a

324
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 4: football Thursday. So I'm talking to you folks. You know,

325
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 4: I don't know how to do a football Thursday. When

326
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 4: I go back up to my office and we'll and

327
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 4: we'll operate accordingly and kick that thing off on Saturday.

328
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 11: Like Jadevian got to that, you know, nine and a

329
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 11: half sachomore a couple of weeks ago. Curious what you

330
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 11: know if you look at him the totality of the

331
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 11: SEASONR do you think he's performed so well for you guys?

332
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 8: We have been great to get him to ten, So

333
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 8: that was a bit.

334
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, it's an interesting question because I

335
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 4: only know JD from our experience in this year, so

336
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 4: I can't speak to how he's operating in the past

337
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: things like that. Talk to like, you know, Wee's relationship

338
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 4: with him, you know, over the course of the years.

339
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 8: So obviously that's a plus. Uh.

340
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 4: But the guy that I see is a guy that

341
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 4: loves playing football, he loves being around his teammates. He's

342
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 4: a gregarious guy, got a lot of thoughts on a

343
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: lot of things, which is cool to hear, and he

344
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 4: plays the game the right way. So those are the

345
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 4: type of guys we love having here. And I think

346
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 4: you know, you find not just at that position, but

347
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 4: you know, all across the team. Those those guys played

348
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: great football for us when when we're able to find him.

349
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 6: You know, obviously, you guys.

350
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 8: Finish number one in the league in takeaways.

351
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 12: Is there ever, does there ever become a point of

352
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 12: concern where you feel like a defense might be coming

353
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 12: to rely on takeaways on turnovers to get stops or

354
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 12: is the mentality of this group you feel like, you know,

355
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 12: impervious to that kind of thinking.

356
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're not relying on takeaways.

357
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 4: I mean that we're trying to create takeaways at all times,

358
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 4: but that's that's how you attack the football and how

359
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: you play through your rules and then plays will be

360
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 4: made that way.

361
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 8: But we're not.

362
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: We're not just chasing takeaways, you know, at the expense

363
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: of you know, giving up yards or points. Is there

364
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 4: an emphasis this sweep on even louder communication given how

365
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 4: loud it will probably be on Saturday for a home

366
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: playoff game.

367
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 12: And the defense is that loud communication is even harder.

368
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 8: For that is the loud was the bank we can

369
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 8: make the better for us.

370
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 4: So we'd love to have our communication challenges on Saturday

371
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 4: night for sure.

372
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 12: Like on a lighter note, I know you're focused on

373
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 12: the game this week, but have you been made aware

374
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 12: of Raven's Twitter fans' efforts to kind of keep you

375
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 12: here in Baltimore.

376
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 8: My wife sent me a couple a couple of good ones.

377
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 4: There's some good ones out there, not many, but yeah.

378
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: That was offensive coordinator Mike McDonald today. We also heard

379
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: from tight end Mark andrews Now. This was the first

380
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: time that Mark has talked since he went down with

381
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: that foot ankle injury back in November in a game

382
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: against the Bengals. Mark has been working really hard behind

383
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: the scenes to get himself back to this point. He

384
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: talked with the media about some of the work that

385
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: he's been putting in to try to get back on

386
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: the field. It's also worth noting that Mark was a

387
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: full participant in practice on Wednesday. Here's what Mark had

388
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: to say.

389
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 7: You're clicking on all cylinders. You're just carrying that into

390
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 7: the playoffs. We got a lot of playmakers that are

391
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 7: playing really good ball right now, and and.

392
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 6: In coaching staff that supports them. And that's what it's about.

393
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 7: It's about it's a team game, team effort, and and

394
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 7: that's what We've got a great team.

395
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 6: Along those lines.

396
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 14: I mean, the day that you've got hurt of Isaiah

397
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 14: likely has said to us that I haven't you know,

398
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 14: I'm I'm ready for this, and you know I'm gonna

399
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 14: do it an honor of him, but I'm.

400
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 6: Ready to to step in. Well, how proud have you

401
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,360
Speaker 6: been him? Well, he sure was, you know, ain't sure

402
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 6: it is?

403
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 7: You know you see it, you know, game by game

404
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 7: him getting better and better and making big time plays

405
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 7: and that's a credit to how hard he's worked. And uh,

406
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 7: it's been awesome to see him do that, and I'm

407
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 7: we're thankful to have him.

408
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 5: How how was the communication between you and Isaiah doing

409
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 5: the course of this season, more than we're constantly talking

410
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 5: to him, especially maybe things you saw in.

411
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 9: And out of the game.

412
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 7: Well, he's got a natural feel for the game, you know,

413
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 7: by himself, but just being there supporting him, being a

414
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 7: good teammate, that's all I can do and and let

415
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 7: him shine do his thing, and you know, it's been

416
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 7: awesome to see. Obviously everybody in the tight end room

417
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 7: supports you know, everybody and coach Gossie does a good

418
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 7: job of coaching him up.

419
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 6: But he's just the ballplayer.

420
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 13: Mark.

421
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 12: Can you tell us what this rehab has been like

422
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 12: for you?

423
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 11: And when the jury first happened, did you think right

424
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 11: away I'm gonna I'm gonna be back, like what went

425
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 11: through your mind?

426
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

427
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 7: I was telling Jeff a second ago that, uh, you know,

428
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 7: there was a there was a clear cut plan, you know,

429
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 7: in process, and I'm very thankful for the people that

430
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 7: are around here from mister Bashati making my life either easier

431
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 7: through the travel and everything else. And coach Harball, the

432
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 7: training staff in the weight room Scott Elliott, Adrian Dixon,

433
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 7: and training staff Mike Thomas. These guys had a plan

434
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 7: together for me, and like I said, all I had

435
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 7: to do was coming here and every day and work

436
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 7: and and get better and better. So yeah, it's gotten

437
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 7: it's gotten a lot better week by week, and we've

438
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 7: made all our progress, not.

439
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 8: Just like practicing, but how you're feeling happy?

440
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 7: So how have you been feeling this week and feeling

441
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 7: that it's been good. You know, there's a lot of

442
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 7: different things I'm doing to to get better. I know, uh,

443
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 7: the torrell owens. You know you kind of the same injury,

444
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 7: and you know, the hyperbaric auction, auction chamber, all that

445
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 7: good stuff. And I'm doing everything I can to get

446
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 7: back get ready. And you know, after I work hard,

447
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 7: like a day like this is it's recovery, gets.

448
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 6: Swelling down and feel good for the next day, which

449
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 6: I usually do.

450
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 8: What's gonna come down a Saturday's decision?

451
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 9: What is going to kind of be an exciting factor?

452
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 7: I think, you know, it's it's how I feel, you know,

453
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 7: at the end of the day. But you know, just

454
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 7: knowing how good this team is, how good our players are,

455
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 7: how good our tight ends are. You know, if I

456
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 7: feel like I'm gonna be you know, helpful with the team,

457
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go if I'm you know, I feel like

458
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 7: I'm I'm close, but not there.

459
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 6: Let these guys go and hopefully get that next weekend.

460
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 7: What's the hardest thing to get back with an injury

461
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 7: like this isn't explosiveness.

462
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 9: Is a range of motion?

463
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 6: I mean, what what is it?

464
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 7: There's a lot of different factors, and I think each

465
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 7: day there's a there's a new challenge to be attacked,

466
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 7: you know. But I'm starting to feel really good and

467

Speaker 7: That's what matters.

481
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 12: The first couple of weeks they were saying, we're gonna

482
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 12: do this for morek, We're playing for Hark.

483

Speaker 6: Leave on you? You know?

485
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 7: I just you know, just the fact that how much

486
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 7: they care, you know, and just being out here for

487
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 7: practices and seeing the energy and guys coming up to

00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 7: you NonStop. It's a it's a loving group. It's a

489
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 7: group that cares. It's a group that plays for one another.

490
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 7: And that's what's special about this team is to bond

491
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 7: the chemistry and the type of players.

492
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 6: That we have there.

493
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 12: It's a lot of controversy over the kind of tackle

494
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 12: that led to your je Did.

495
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 6: You ever talk to Wilson and do you have any

496
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 6: thoughts on one of the tackles should be outlawing at

497
00:20:59,320 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 6: all the game?

498
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 7: I don't really have any you know, thoughts, you know,

499
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 7: on that. It's a it was kind of just an

500
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 7: unfortunate event.

501
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:05,199
Speaker 6: You know.

502
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 7: It's I'm gonna let you know, everybody else do their

503
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 7: thing if they want to ban the tackle find but

504
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go out there play hard no matter what.

505
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 6: You know, I don't blame the guy. He's just playing ball.

506
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 9: Mark.

507
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 13: You mentioned it being a test and you also mentioned

508
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 13: the support here.

509
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,400
Speaker 11: But what were some things that you did to get

510
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 11: yourself through the rehabit and in that time?

511
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 6: Well play?

512
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 9: Yeah?

513
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 6: I think uh, I think you know.

514
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 7: The big thing is just coming in here every day

515
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 7: and work and you're gonna be able to push yourself

516
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 7: but not push yourself too hard. And it's hearing that

517
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 7: line of of getting better but not hurting yourself is

518
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 7: something I've done. I talked about the hyperbaric aucyen chamber.

519
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 7: I think that's been big for me, you know, help

520
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 7: speed up that process and and everything in the training room.

521
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 7: These guys have had an incredible plan and process in

522
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 7: place and since day one, and we followed that and

523
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 7: it's been really good.

524
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 12: Tamer in your house, where do you bought one?

525
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 6: Or how's that work?

526
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, my girlfriend's family has had it, so he put

527
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 7: it bringing into the house and started using it.

528
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: That was tight end. Mark andrews now he is currently

529
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: not on the fifty three man roster. So if the

530
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: Ravens were going to activate him by Saturday, they would

531
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: need to make a roster move to move him back

532
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,760
