1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Lounge presented by DraftKings. We're thrilled to

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: have center Tyler Linderbaum here with us and tell her.

3
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I'll start with this. So I kind of solicited questions

4
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 1: from Ravens fans for this interview, and one guy in particular,

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: Cole Jackson. He's like a big tape guy, loves breaking

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: down offensive line tape.

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: Right.

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, give me a question

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: that makes me sound really smart and like I'm really technical,

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: like I'm a grinder trenches guy.

11
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: Right.

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Okay, So here's the question, right, what is the key

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: to winning the soullen Beef Day? Hey bell toss?

14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: Key? Shoot? Uh? I don't know if I have the

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: answers to that.

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: Oh wow, stump them, yeah, stump them.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 3: Really just trying to throw it as high and as

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: hard as he can, okay, and just hope that it

19
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: gets over the bar.

20
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 2: All right.

21
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: So for our listeners out there, can you explain to

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: them what the beef Day hail hay bail toss is?

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: So soul in Iowa, That's where I'm from, and every

25
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 3: year there's a kind of a town fair, county fair,

26
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 3: and there's this thing we have every Friday night called

27
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 3: the Haybale Toss, and the goal of it is a

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: bunch of grown men, kids whatever try to throw a

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: haybell as high as they can, kind of over a

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: high jump barr and you just keep going up, keep

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 3: going up, and see how high you can get. So

32
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people go to it. It's kind of

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: a fun thing to do, a fun tradition. Yeah, yeah,

34
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: I'm glad I could be a part of it, and

35
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 3: a lot of former Iowa players still do it, so

36
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,399
Speaker 3: it's a pretty cool event.

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: I saw that you got first place with fourteen feet

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: and Tristan Wurf's had twelve feet, so your rivalry beyond wrestling,

39
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: it went to another level with the Haybeil Toss.

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: You know, each year it's kind of different based off

41
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 3: the haybels and how much they weigh. Okay, so probably

42
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 3: that one year where Tristan only got twelve feet or

43
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 3: thirteen feet whatever you got. The haybels are a little

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 3: heavier because I know for a fact that he can

45
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: throw higher than me.

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got lucky.

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 4: Would you do this in the off season, No, I'm

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: retired from okaying throwing days from behind him.

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Went in there, won it, and so I'm.

50
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, rode off into the sunset as a champion.

51
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: All right. So last time we had you on the podcast,

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: it was last year and you were coming off the

53
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: game where you put Devin White on skates against the

54
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: Buccaneers and basically dominated had that block that everybody was

55
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: talking about in that game. So now one of your

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: blocks is kind of blowing up once again, which is

57
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: on Keaton Mitchell's sixty yard run. You had Jordan Brooke

58
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: you basically you took him out of the play twice.

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 4: You're running sixty yards down the field alongside Keaton Mitchell

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 4: and you took out Brooks twice on that play. So

61
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: I want to get your perspective on this block.

62
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 3: First, I started with Keating breaking the first tackle and

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to do my job pulling around. Uh,

64
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: just hit the guy as hard as I could. You know,

65
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: with Keaton and his speed, you never know what's going

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: to happen, So just keep trying to work downfield and

67
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: make a block. But on that play, you know, there's

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: you go all across the line. Everyone was doing their jobs.

69
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: So first with Pat McCarey, you know, pulling out, pulling

70
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: out and hen Jamal Adams to the sideline, So that

71
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 3: kind of helps spring the play open.

72
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

73
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 4: Has there been another play that you can think of

74
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: where you took the same guy out of the play twice? Yeah,

75
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 4: on the same play. I mean, that doesn't happen very

76
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 4: oft Well.

77
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: Once you take a guy out of the play, he's

78
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: out of the play.

79
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 4: But then he came back. The guy out and he

80
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: kind of came back to the terminator kind of you

81
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 4: just made sure you made sure that you did.

82
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: Pay So I should I should have probably hit him

83
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: harder the first time, just so I didn't have to

84
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 3: worry about every get's true next time. I learned from it.

85
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, have you ever I mean, you ran fifty

86
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: four yards on that play. Is that the farthest downfield

87
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: that you've ever made a block you think? I mean,

88
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: that's pretty atypical.

89
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: Probably no other than that. Just maybe trying to run

90
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 3: down when they're going to score a touchdown. So yeah,

91
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: just trying to do my job. You know, that's what

92
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 3: a lineman dude, Just try to do their job and

93
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 3: spring open big plays like that.

94
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: Well, it's kind of like get the combine right, whenever

95
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: the O lineman run the forty, everybody's like, well, who

96
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: cares the lineman? He's never running forty yards for a block.

97
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: It's all about that split, you know, the first whatever

98
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: three steps, This proves it wrong. You know you got

99
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: to run a good forty for that kind of block, right,

100
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: so you know.

101
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: The forties matter for the big guys.

102
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, You're welcome to all the big guys now

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: running the forty. The combine Tyler just ruined it for

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: you all there.

105
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

106
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 4: I actually do remember last year when you got here

107
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 4: Lamar talking about like your speed getting down the field,

108
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 4: and oh, yeah, that's right, you know, so this is

109
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: is that something that you actually take bride in. I

110
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: mean we're kind of joking about like that speed, you know,

111
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 4: forty fifty yards down the field, But is that a

112
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: point of pride?

113
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: Just always trying to work to the ball, getting around

114
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: the ball. I wouldn't say I'm the fastest.

115
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. Just try to try to work hard,

116
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 2: get to the ball, be around the ball.

117
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: Just in case, you know, think good or bad happens,

118
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: So it's always good to be around the ball.

119
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: I did look up your speed on the play it

120
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: wasn't quite what Keaton's was.

121
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still trying to chase him. So yeah, maybe

122
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: someday exactly.

123
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: So I'm curious where do you feel like you've made

124
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: your greatest improvements from year one to year two.

125
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: I think just one, just you're going to learn a

126
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: lot from playing seventeen games in the NFL your rookie year.

127
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: Everything's so new, the speed of the game is a

128
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: lot faster than college. I just think being more comfortable

129
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: knowing that I can't do it. You know, last year

130
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: there's probably a bunch of times and facing new guys,

131
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 3: going against new guys, you know, there's a lot of

132
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 3: questions can I do this? Just having that confidence I

133
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 3: think has helped me into year two. You know, obviously

134
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 3: there's still a lot of stuff that I want to

135
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: improve on and still get better at. But I think

136
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm you know, making the right strides and taking a

137
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: step in the right direction.

138
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: But you know, always hungry to get better.

139
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: And when you were at Iowa, run heavy offense, and

140
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 4: then you come to the NFL year and it was

141
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: a run heavy offense primarily. This year, it's it's more balanced.

142
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 4: You know, the passing game is taking on kind of

143
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 4: a new element of this offense for you, How was

144
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: your approach to kind of improving as a pass protector,

145
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: like knowing you had done it at a great level

146
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,799
Speaker 4: as a run blocker, but now with this new element

147
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 4: of this offense, need to improve more as a pass protector.

148
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 4: What was the approach there?

149
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it was something that you know, I

150
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: really want to focus on getting better at. And you know,

151
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: especially in this league, you know we're gonna we're gonna

152
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 3: be passing the ball especially. You know, we brought in

153
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: the receivers got Lamar that we can you know, spread

154
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 3: them out and pass the ball. And I didn't want

155
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: to be, you know, a liability. You know, there's still

156
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff that I want to work on

157
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: in the past game and pass protection. You know, each

158
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 3: and every week there's stuff that can get better at.

159
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: But if we're going to be throwing the ball more,

160
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 3: I got to be better as a pass protector. That

161
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 3: just comes with, you know, reps working on and your technique.

162
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: You know, when I got a good group of alignement

163
00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: in the room to help me out with that.

164
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 4: You're you're selling yourself short a little bit. I mean

165
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 4: you're saying you don't want to be a liability, but

166
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 4: right now you lead the NFL in past blocking, you

167
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 4: know for centers.

168
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Hi, highest grade is the center in past blocking.

169
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think that you're not a liability check

170
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 4: you check that off, okay for sure? So how like

171
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: how did you improve? Like like how not that you

172
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: were not good at it previously, but you just hadn't

173
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 4: done it as probably as much as you are this year.

174
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 4: So how did you go about improving that? And what

175
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 4: does it mean to you to be leading the way

176
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: at this point? But with that PFF grade, I.

177
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 3: Think you're just you know, a lot goes into the technique,

178
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, like I said, just being confident in it,

179
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: you know, knowing the body positions that you want to

180
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: get into, where you're in a strong body position, and

181
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, just try not to

182
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: let the guy across from you beat you. So just

183
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: block forever, block as long as you can and let

184
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: the playmakers out in space and lamar hit the hit

185
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: the throws downfield.

186
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: It feels like the offensive line is really gelling right now.

187
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: Like it's just you know that that position group, it's

188
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: all kind of five is one right, like you all

189
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: have to kind of be on point for it to work.

190
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: What what is it that's gelling so well? What's creating? That?

191
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Is it the dinners that I hear that you all

192
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: host every week? What what is it?

193
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: The did dinner certainly helps?

194
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, she always helps with everything, right, It's.

195
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 3: All about chemistry at the online position. You know, anytime

196
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 3: you understand you know where guys are going to be,

197
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 3: how you're going to work off each other, that's going

198
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: to make the unit a lot better. And as it's

199
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: been like that through our whole career. You know, no

200
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 3: matter where I'm at, no matter what the schemes are, Uh,

201
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: the more reps you get with the guys, you know,

202
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: the better you're going to be, the better you're going

203
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: to work together down the road. And I think we'll

204
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 3: continuing to get better. You know, certainly got a long

205
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: way to go. But good thing is we're only in

206
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 3: mid season and we got you know, eight nine more

207
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 3: games until the end of the year to really get

208
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 3: where we want to be to make a push.

209
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: That's just the end of the regular season, correct.

210
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: Make a push for the playoffs.

211
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: There you go, take us inside these Airline dinners. How

212
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: did this come about? When did it start?

213
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: How?

214
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: How does it all work?

215
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 3: Well, ever since I've been here, we've done them. Ronnie

216
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: Stanley has people over. His chef cooks for us and

217
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: nice and it's a wide variety of food, so you

218
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: never know what you're going to get. I think this

219
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 3: week we're doing breakfast food. So that's my favorite. So

220
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 3: I can't wait. But you know, it's something good. It's

221
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 3: good to get guys together. You know, we'll have other

222
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 3: position guys come in there. I heard pat Riccards her

223
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: card comes you know.

224
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: On Aario offensive lineman, Lamar.

225
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: And Snoop have been there, so nice. Yeah, so it's it's.

226
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 3: Good to get the guys together outside of football, just

227
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 3: to hang out for a little bit.

228
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you know, we don't have much time outside

229
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: of it.

230
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm just curious. This is pretty cool. I

231
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 4: don't know that every team would do something like this.

232
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: So Ronnie initiated this and basically said, hey, guys, I

233
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 4: want to have you over and you know, does the

234
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: chef take orders? How many dare you guys putting in request?

235
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 4: There's a theme, right, he said, it's breakfast food this week.

236
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: Right.

237
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we've done Mexican food, Chinese food, kind of anything,

238
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: you name it, We've done it before.

239
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Ronnie's kind of adventurous that way.

240
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: I feel very Yeah, yeah, he he loves the white

241
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: spread of foods. So yeah, no, his chef does a

242
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: great job and it's a good little tradition.

243
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many guys like so? I mean, that's a

244
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: lot of that's a lot of men and big men.

245
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot of food.

246
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: It is a lot of food.

247
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 3: We've probably got what fifteen twenty guys probably come every week,

248
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: so it's good. We definitely run out of some of

249
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: the food that's there, but they make a lot, so

250
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: usually there's a lot of leftover, is it?

251
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 4: And the last question about this is like do you

252
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: feel like that actually carries over it? It's nice to

253
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 4: hang out with your buddies and have a good meal

254
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: and all that stuff, but like, do you actually feel

255
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 4: like there's a tangible benefit from the off the field

256
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 4: camaraderie once you get into game action.

257
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: I think if you enjoy being around people, you know,

258
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: it'll probably help on the field. You know, if you're

259
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: playing next to someone that you absolutely hate, I'm sure

260
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 3: that wouldn't be too enjoyable.

261
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: I don't know.

262
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I've never had I mean, I next to somebody like that, right,

263
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you from experience.

264
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: Right, I've never had a deal with that. So if

265
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: it helps, I don't know. I assume it does.

266
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: I don't know.

267
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 3: It's a good little thing that we do. It's a

268
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: good little tradition that Ronnie does.

269
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: That's cool.

270
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: So it seems like Todd Todd Munkin has done a

271
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: really good job of blending run scheme from what worked

272
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: so well with Greg's system to what, you know, infusing

273
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: what he wants to do from an offensive lineman's perspective.

274
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: Can you talk about that blend.

275
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we've done a good job, you know,

276
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 3: just one just working together as a unit, you know,

277
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 3: everyone being on the same page. You know, obviously there's

278
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: some carryovers the plays we've done in the past, but

279
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: also there's some new schemes. I don't know, maybe the

280
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 3: tendencies of or how much of one thing we're doing

281
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: then the other compared to last year. But you know,

282
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 3: we're always trying to improve the run game and always

283
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: trying to you know, that's the emphasis, you know, being

284
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: able to run the ball anytime we can do that

285
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: it can open up a whole bunch of other things.

286
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: So, and it's it's cool to see me and Greg

287
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: did a lot of this too. Anybody can be pulling

288
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: on any play, right, the center can be pulling on

289
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: a number of plays. You know, Just how neat is

290
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: that that, you know, you're doing a lot of unbalanced stuff,

291
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: like guys are moving around in different positions. Obviously the

292
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: center is always in the center to begin to play,

293
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: but like, do you feel like kind of keeping it

294
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: fresh in that way also helps just I don't know,

295
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: helps the offensive line.

296
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, you know, I feel like that's what

297
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: kind of the NFL is going towards, is you know,

298
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: moving moving guys around a lot, you know, trying to

299
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 3: cause defense some confusion. And you know we have the

300
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: athletes to do so. We have great, great blockers, and

301
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 3: you know, anytime we can create maybe some confusion to

302
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 3: help open things up, it's big.

303
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: So another factor with this offense is that, you know,

304
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 4: Lamar talked about it at the start of the season

305
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 4: that the biggest difference is kind of giving him the

306
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: keys to the offense. The top one going to give

307
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: him the keys and he has the ability to make

308
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 4: these pre pre snap checks, the line of scrimmage, and

309
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: obviously you as a center of the guy that's snapping

310
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: him the football, like, you're a big piece of that

311
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 4: equation as well. Take us into that communication, how that

312
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: works and what that process looks like between you and Lamar.

313
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean everything runs through Lamar. You know, he's

314
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: such a great player. You know, we we feed off

315
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 3: of him, you know, and he's done a tremendous job

316
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: this year just being commanding, you know, commanding in the huddle,

317
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 3: commanding on the sideline. Uh, just being able to get

318
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 3: guys on the same page, you know. I think obviously

319
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 3: the center quarterback relation is big, just knowing the old

320
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: line and the quarterback see it the same way, especially

321
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: you know, maybe in protection game, you know, being on

322
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 3: the same page understand you know where his problems possibly

323
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: could be.

324
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: So I think anywhere around the.

325
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: League, you know, that's a that's a big focus point

326
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: in emphasis that you guys got to be on the

327
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 3: same page, you know, to be effective on offense.

328
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: How much are you two like talking at the same time,

329
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, just just kind of take us inside how

330
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: that process works, Like, do you have to does Lamar

331
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: call out something you have to be like, all right,

332
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: I gotta wait till he finishes and now I'm gonna

333
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: relay this or how does how does it work?

334
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we're gonna We're gonna play in the huddle,

335
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: go up to the line, make our calls. You know,

336
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 3: if Lamar doesn't like it, he can change us out

337
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: of it. It's where you know, that's where I think

338
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 3: I see the biggest difference in Lamar and taking over

339
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: is making those you know, after the huddle call, making

340
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: those you know, those changes at the at the line

341
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 3: of scrimmage. He's done a great job and we've seen

342
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: a lot of plays this year to where he's making

343
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 3: changes and you know, he's helped us make big plays

344
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 3: out of it. So yeah, it's something that we're continue

345
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: to get better at, continue to prove at. But certainly,

346
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 3: certainly the step in the right direction.

347
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: Do you do you as a center kind of have

348
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 4: to go to the line with almost like multiple plays

349
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: and options in mind, and then knowing that Okay, he

350
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: may see something and make a check. Now I have

351
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: to change my my frame of the section or whatever whatever,

352
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: and then maybe communicate that to the rest of the line,

353
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: like I'm just curious, how about that process.

354
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, all all the plays that we have

355
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 3: have rules, rules for the old line, rules for running backs,

356
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: rules for receiver, you know, and once we get up

357
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 3: to line, something could change if the defense has given us,

358
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: giving us a different look than what we're thinking. You know,

359
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 3: we certainly have the capability of quarterbacks or the old

360
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: line communicating to each other there to to change something

361
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: about either protection or the run game, how we handle things,

362
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: you know. And that's why you see everyone when they

363
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: go to the sideline, they're communicating, you know, the different

364
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: looks we're seeing. That's why we have the iPads, you know,

365
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: you know this stuff, stuff that maybe defenses.

366
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 2: Are showing us.

367
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 3: You know, just being able to communicate, communicate effectively is

368
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 3: big to you know, get us in the in the

369
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 3: right in the right call.

370
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Continuity is really important for an offensive line. That's what

371
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: everybody talks about. You do have one new start of

372
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: this year, John Simpsons stepping in for Ben Powers at

373
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Left Guard. Watch some of the tape John Simpson was

374
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: putting some people in their backs last week. Can you

375
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: just talk about what John has brought to the offensive life.

376
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, John's been awesome. You know, he's continually get better

377
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: and better. You know, he's been a great addition to

378
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: our team. No very coachable. You know, I know Jodi

379
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: loves working with him, and you know he's he's definitely

380
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: making our team better just by his play in each

381
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 3: and every game. You know, he's getting more and more

382
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 3: confident with the things that he can do.

383
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: You know, we've talked about the season that you're having

384
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: and feel like it's a Pro Bowl caliber season and

385
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 4: feel like you know it's it's gonna be that time soon.

386
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: Fans better vote by the way, Yeah, so when when.

387
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: He opens, it's not open yet, but when it does open,

388
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 4: this guy.

389
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: Big time voting. Yeah, we got to get make the push.

390
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: Well, yes, we are campaigning on your behalf. So but

391
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 4: is like, are those types of accolades something that you

392
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 4: care about?

393
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 3: Honestly, No, I think you know, the biggest thing, one

394
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 3: thing that I've always thought is, you know, if you're

395
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: if you're winning football games, the accolades will come with it.

396
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: You know, as long as you're doing your job winning

397
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 3: football games, you know, a lot more guys will get

398
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: that recognition. So really just focused on this week, you know,

399
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 3: US US you know, handling the Browns coming into our place.

400
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 3: You know, it's gonna be a good challenge and all

401
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: that other stuff will take care of itself, you know.

402
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: And I'm I'm much I'm much rather you know, win

403
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: football games than worry about being in the Pro Bowl

404
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: any other things. I think a lot of guys around

405
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: this league, and especially on this team, you know, think

406
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: the same way.

407
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, me is right, myset have but you you take

408
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: that mindset and we're going to do our part to

409
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 4: try to get.

410
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: You exactly exactly. We don't we can't win games. Yeah,

411
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: we can't win games, but we can't help with this.

412
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 1: So I want to dig a little bit into your background.

413
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: You have an older brother, Logan, right, and he's three

414
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: years older than you. And so you know, I have

415
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: a brother who is three and a half years older

416
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: than me, and I used to get the snot kicked

417
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: out of me routinely, especially when he was taking karate.

418
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 1: That was the worst time in my life.

419
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: I can imagine.

420
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm just curious, like, how did that shape

421
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: you as a competitor as an athlete?

422
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

423
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: What did that do for you?

424
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: I think being the youngest, you know, you're always getting

425
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: picked on. But also for me, I was always trying

426
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: to get up to my brother's level, you know, just

427
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: always being around his friends, always trying to compete with them. Yeah,

428
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 3: and he definitely I definitely got my boat woffed a

429
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: lot growing up, but it was good for me.

430
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 2: You know.

431
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: He's been a good role model model for me in

432
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 3: my development and sports, and you know, I certainly wouldn't

433
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 3: be where I'm at without him.

434
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 1: And certainly wrestling is a big part of your background.

435
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: State champion in Iowa?

436
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: And can you not a state champion?

437
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: Not a state and I thought you were a state champ. Oh,

438
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm trying to see I'm trying to put

439
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 1: the purpol voting. He has provo voters out there, state champion?

440
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 4: Are we weren't even gonna obviously didn't fact check it,

441
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: so we could have gotten away with that. Whoever was

442
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 4: the state champion would have commented inside.

443
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, but you be trist and worse, So that'll colt.

444
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: Uh would you advise like every you know high school

445
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: center who has big aspirations to also wrestle, Like, is

446
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: that a big part of your game? Still?

447
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: Yeah?

448
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: I think you know, it's big. It's a big thing

449
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: for especially for the on line position. I think it's

450
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: something that they should all consider doing.

451
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

452
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 3: One, I think it's good for there's a lot of

453
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: transitional stuff that transitions over from wrestling to football. Just

454
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 3: understanding leverage, you know, the body movement's body control is big,

455
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 3: but also just one of the hardest sports I've done,

456
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 3: just pushing yourself and when you step on that mats

457
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 3: one on one, you know there's no one else out

458
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 3: there that can help you. So I think the sport

459
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 3: is great and it teaches you a lot of things.

460
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting. I know that last year when you

461
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 4: got drafted, you know, the question was sized to a

462
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 4: certain extent, you know, and you have proven that, like

463
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: you don't need to be a six foot six you

464
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 4: know that'd be a huge center, but but you know

465
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 4: you can. You can be the size that you are

466
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,439
Speaker 4: and be incredibly successful. And there's a lot of centers, honestly,

467
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 4: that have have proven that. At what point did you realize, like, oh,

468
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 4: I can hang in this league, like I'm able to

469
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 4: hold my own and make this transition and play at

470
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 4: a really high level in the NFL game.

471
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I.

472
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 3: Think first you know, I think undersize. There's one of

473
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 3: the best centers to ever played the game still playing, Jason Kelcey.

474
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: He's undersize and he plays at such a high level.

475
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: So I don't think I think guys who think that

476
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 3: are wrong, just because there's a lot of people that

477
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 3: can play at a high level, especially him leverage, right,

478
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 3: who will be a Hall of Famer. So I think

479
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 3: maybe size might help in certain situations. But it's a

480
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 3: game of leverage. Yeah, it's a game of you know,

481
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 3: getting your pads under his And I think that that

482
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: definitely helps me comes into play, you know, when I

483
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 3: go go out there and step on the field.

484
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I gotta believe that. Like you know,

485
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 4: Kelsey obviously has been doing it for a long time,

486
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: and like you said, he's going to be probably a

487
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer at some at some point. Is that like,

488
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 4: do you study his tape? Do you look at what

489
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: he did? Like, is he a guy that you're like,

490
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: I mean, certainly the level that he's played at, any

491
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 4: center would want to play at that level over the

492
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 4: course of his career, But do you actually look at

493
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 4: what he does and you know, similar body types and

494
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 4: kind of learn from the way he approaches the game.

495
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly all the time.

496
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: I'm always watching his tape, especially you know this this offseason.

497
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: You know, even during like fall camp, I'd be watching

498
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 3: his old games just trying to There's a lot of

499
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 3: stuff that, you know, as centers that you can't do

500
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: what he's doing, just the way he moves his body,

501
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 3: the way he's able to get in certain positions. But

502
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 3: you know, you're always trying to learn from guys who

503
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: have been successful, and he's certainly certainly one of them.

504
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

505
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 3: I watch his tape all the time, maybe sometimes more

506
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: than mine.

507
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: So really yeah, like even in season like now, like

508
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: you'll still put on his most recent games.

509
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

510
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: If there's especially if he's played teams that we've played,

511
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 3: that's the first guy I'm watching.

512
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: That's awesome, that's really cool. So what's your mindset going

513
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 1: into you know, back to back big divisional games against

514
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: really physical defensive fronts. What's your mindset going into to

515
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: Cleveland and then I guess also Cincinnati.

516
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, this is one of the toughest divisions

517
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 3: in football, and especially in the in the front seven.

518
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 3: You know, those we have a lot of good d

519
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: linemen in this league and it's certainly a challenge for

520
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 3: the old lineman.

521
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: But you know, we're.

522
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 3: I think we're a talented to you know, but we're

523
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: certainly going to be a challenging you know. They make

524
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: us work. So we're excited. You know, we got you know,

525
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: got Cleveland to worry about now, and we're gonna be

526
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: ready on Sunday.

527
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 1: Awesome. Well from one state champion wrestler myself.

528
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Where are you?

529
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, but maybe that could have gotten away with

530
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: it to another near state champion. Thank you very much.

531
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:19,560

545
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: You know, I think he reminds me. He does remind

546
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: me of yonda like early in his career, Like yeah,

547
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 4: Iowa guys and all that stuff, and the comparisons were

548
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 4: made when he was drafted, But he reminds me of him.

549
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: He's a serious, kind of button up guy. I mean,

550
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: you know whatever he could you know, has a little

551
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: sense of humor too, but like he's serious about his business,

552
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It's not this super big, gregarious,

553
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: look at me personality, like an offensive lineman. You're used

554
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: to kind of doing the grunt work, you know, doing

555
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: the hard labor and not really wanting a bunch of

556
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: attention for it. Yeah that's Tyler Lindermom.

557
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, he doesn't want like too much fanfare around that.

558
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 4: You know, when I knew what he was going to

559
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 4: say when I asked him about the Pro Bowl, Yeah,

560
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 4: I'm not worried about that. Blah blah blah blah. But like, yeah,

561
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 4: he's deserving. I mean that's not just fluff there. I mean,

562
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 4: this guy is playing as one of the best centers

563
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 4: in the game. And that's that's what the Ravens hoped

564
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: when they drafted him in the first round. You use

565
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 4: the first round pick on a center, you hope that

566
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 4: he becomes one of the best players in the league

567
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 4: at his position. And he is on his way I

568
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 4: believe to doing that. I think he is on that trajeic.

569
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely. I mean he could turn out to

570
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: be one of, if not the best center in the

571
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: AFC for the next decade. And that's I mean, centers

572
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: have long careers. He's in year two and he's already

573
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: and it's also impressive the improvement that he's made in

574
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: his game in such a rapid time. Right Like last year,

575
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: you know when you look at the PFF grades and

576
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: take that for what it is, right Like, in his

577
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: pass blocking, he was one of the lower ranked pass

578
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: blockers in the AFC, really in the league right when

579
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: it came to pass protection. Now he's the best, He's

580
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: number one, right, So, like, you make that big of

581
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: an improvement from year one the year two. Gosh, what's

582
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: that say about the rest of your game too, and

583
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: just how quickly he's learning, how quickly he's improving. Like,

584
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 1: I think this dude's going to be one of the

585
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: best for a long time.

586
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's a lot on his plate with all

587
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 4: of the Ravens do at the line of scrimmage. I

588
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 4: mean they did a lot of the line of scrimmage

589
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: last year in a different way with different motions and

590
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 4: things like that that you just need to be kind

591
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 4: of an understanding of all that's happening around you make

592
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: sure everyone said and all this stuff. And now it's

593
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 4: a different level of things that are happening at the

594
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 4: line of scrimmage with all the checks that we talked about.

595
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 4: But yeah, he's an incredibly smart player, and yeah, I

596
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 4: think he's on his way to being one of the best.

597
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 1: Well, let's be honest. You know, when we talk about

598
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: the Ravens offensive success in recent weeks, averaging over thirty

599
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: points a game, the offensive line has been a big

600
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: driver of that, right, I mean that unit has really

601
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: come together to protect Lamar Jacksonwell, he's not getting sacked

602
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: very much right now. They're running the ball extremely well.

603
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: They ran for two hundred and ninety eight yards last week.

604
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 1: Like the offensive line as always often gets overlooked, but

605
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: the way that they've been playing I think has been

606
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: a big part of the Ravens four game winning streak

607
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: and why this offense is gaining more consistency.

608
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 4: Well, they're going to get a big test this week, yep.

609
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: I mean we're going up, you know, against a Browns

610
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 4: team that has and this is the debate, this is

611
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 4: a discussion this week who got the best defensive football?

612
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: Yep?

613
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 4: And Linderbaum and the rest of the guys on that

614
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: offensive line are going to have their handsful because of

615
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 4: have a really talented defensive front. Miles Garrett obviously leads

616
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 4: the way. Yeah, he might be the defensive player of

617
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 4: the year if you were giving out the award of midseason,

618
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 4: he probably would be. And so he attracts all the attention.

619
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 4: But that entire front it's good.

620
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely. I mean I think that it's gonna it's

621
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a tough test for this Ravens offensive line.

622
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: It's I think specifically Ronnie Stanley. You look at left tackle,

623
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: you look at Miles Garrett where he's gonna be lining

624
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: up Now, he can go anywhere in Zadarius Smith can

625
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: switch sides. But you know, Ronnie has you gave up

626
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: the force fumble, the sack force fumble last week. Uh,

627
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be a big test for him.

628
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,680
Speaker 1: He didn't play against the Browns the first meeting this year.

629
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: It was Patrick McCarey playing on the left side, and

630
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens did well against that defensive front. I think

631
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 1: he still had one sack Miles Garrett did, but overall,

632
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens did really well scheme wise, kind of doing

633
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: a lot of things to take Miles Garrett out of it.

634
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: But there's gonna be situations where it's dropped back one

635
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: on one, you gotta block this dude, and and Ronnie

636
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: Stanley's it's a big game for him.

637
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and all the tackle situation. You know, Patrick McCarry

638
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: played really well stepping in from Morgan Moses last week.

639
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 4: We'll see over the course of the week if it's

640
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 4: going to be Morgan Moses or McCarry who's playing that

641
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 4: right tackle spot. Who knows, you know, I think that

642
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 4: will depend on Morgan obviously, it will depend on his

643
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: health and just how it feels and all that. So

644
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 4: we'll see if as McCarey uses, you know, the backup

645
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: who can step in.

646
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: Or hopefully both of them. How the extra offensive line

647
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 1: use this extra end ricard.

648
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think it's like it's similar to

649
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: when the Ravens play the Steelers and you you can't

650
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 4: let Miles Garrett or when they played the Steelers, t J.

651
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 4: Watt like wreck the game, and TJ. Watt in the

652
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,880
Speaker 4: second half of that game when kind of did wreck

653
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 4: the game. And so we said this last time when

654
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 4: the Ravens played the Browns, you can't let Miles Garrett

655
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 4: wreck the game because he has that potential. I mean,

656
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: this is a guy that can get multiple sacks and

657
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 4: strip sacks and just completely turn a game around. You

658
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 4: can't let that happen and still expect to win. You know,

659
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting Miles Garrett, you know, kind

660
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 4: of I don't think he was trying to cause too

661
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: much pull to bar material, but he mentioned this week

662
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 4: he was on a k Adams show and he mentioned

663
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: she asked him whether you would take Joe Burrow or

664
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, and he said Joe Burrow and also pointed

665
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: out he sacked Lamar Jackson a handful of time. So

666
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 4: when if that's made its way till Lamar when surprised me.

667
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that Lamar really takes is motivated by

668
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, but it get hurt. Sure. I

669
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: don't think that this week there's going to be a

670
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of storylines. The primary one here

671
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: is the defenses going up against each other. I think

672
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: that that is going to be definitely a motivating factor

673
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 1: for the Ravens defense. You know, they're number two, the

674
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: Browns are number one in total defensive rankings. The Ravens

675
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: defense doesn't think it's number two, and they don't think

676
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: they're behind anybody. Yeah, right, and so they're going to

677
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: be out to prove it. Especially you know, if Brown's

678
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: fans or whoever wants to say, well, last time they

679
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 1: went against the Browns, you know, they were playing a

680
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: rookie making his first career start. You know, it doesn't

681
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: that doesn't count. All right, Well we got Deshaun Watson

682
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: this time. Let's see, let's see who's got the better defense.

683
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 4: I think the feeling, you know, it certainly seems from

684
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: the Brown side is that, you know, last game, to

685
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: kind of throw it out, they expected Watson to be

686
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 4: available to find out a few hours before the game.

687
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 4: He's not available. You have this rookie six round pick

688
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 4: who gets thrown in there, and the Ravens just really

689
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 4: had their way with him and he didn't really have

690
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: a chance. And the defense dominated that game. They weren't

691
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 4: going to do much of anything, and they didn't offensively.

692
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 4: Since then, now it's de Shaun Watson's back. I also

693
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 4: had a PJ. Walker, the veteran you know, at a

694
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 4: quarterback there. So they basically after that experience, they changed

695
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 4: their approach at quarterback. And so I think that the

696
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 4: brown side is feeling like that game just throw it out,

697
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: doesn't really count, and the Raves will saying, no, we

698
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 4: could do that again. You know. I think they're back

699
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 4: and I and we'll see, We'll see who ends up

700
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: coming down. On top of that regard, I.

701
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: Thought it was one of the sharpest offensive games the

702
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: Ravens played in Cleveland, and Lamar made some ridiculous throws.

703
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews had two touchdowns, He had a game. He's

704
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: a Browns killer, that guy. So, uh, it's it's a

705
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: big game for these defenses against each other. I think

706
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: are going to want to prove a lot and and

707
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: I think watch out for the Ravens pass rush. You

708
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: know we're sitting here talking about Miles Garrett and the

709
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: Browns pass rush and Zidarius and all that. Well, don't

710
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: forget who leads the league in sex right. And the Browns,

711
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: by the way, just lost their starting left tackle, uh

712
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: huh Jedrick Wills, so uh you know they're already without

713
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: their right tackle. I think this is a game where

714
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens can cause some havoc and get after de

715
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: Shan Watson a little bit.

716
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: Does Gino Stone can keep the streak rolling? He's got

717
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 4: four straight games with an interception. He leads the NFL

718
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 4: with six. He's got more interceptions on a whole bunch

719
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 4: of teams in the NFL. Does he keep it rolling?

720
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 4: I actually think he does.

721
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he gets another one, that would be every time

722
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: he gets one. Now I'm just like, oh my gosh,

723
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: this is amazing.

724
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: I think he actually does get one. The other thing too,

725
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 4: that will help this defense is if it's loud. I

726
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 4: mean for sure, like if it's loud and rocking inside

727
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: Mt BAK Stadium, which I expected to be. If you're

728
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 4: if you're if you're watching, be there be loud.

729
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: If you're not there for this game, I know, like

730
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: something's wrong with you, Like you know what I mean.

731
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be great weather, a huge matchup. The

732
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: Ravens are rocking and rolling, they're playing really well, like

733
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: getting like if you're not there, I don't know what

734
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: you're thinking. Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking.

735
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: Be there, be early. We got some cool stuff playing

736
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: pre game too, So get to your seat early for sure.

737
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 4: You know, by like twelve forty you want to be

738
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 4: in your seat for some of the stuff we've got

739
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 4: planned pregame. But yeah, so I think that that will

740
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: be a factor if the Ravens can really lean on

741
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 4: the energy of that crowd, which I think they will,

742
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 4: and jump out to an early lead, like like they've

743
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 4: done the last two games at home. Like that's kind

744
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: of what's happened these last two games at home. They've

745
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 4: jumped out to these early leads and then these these

746
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 4: the Seahawks and the lines just they could never climb

747
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: out of that. Then the Ravens could ramp up the

748
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: pass rush and they get some turnovers and like now

749
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 4: you're just off to the races.

750
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 1: It's also key for limiting their pass rush. If you

751
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: don't want Miles Garrett calls in trouble get out to

752
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: a lead. You don't want many third and tens. They

753
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 1: know you're throwing. You want to keep them off.

754
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 4: And like going back to that's what I kept saying

755
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: going to that Steelers game. If you find yourself basically

756
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 4: in this close game in the fourth quarter and you've

757
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 4: got to try to climb out of a hole, like

758
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 4: like the Steelers whole game plan is keep it close

759
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 4: to the fourth quarter and then that TJ Walk go

760
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 4: to work and then like TJ Walk make a play.

761
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of similar for the Browns. Live

762
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 4: if it's fourth, If it's if it's close in the

763
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: fourth quarter and you're trying to move the ball down

764
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 4: the field and come up with a late score, that's

765
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 4: when Miles Garrett can pin his years back and go

766
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: get the quarterback. And you want to avoid that.

767
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

768
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Well, it's gonna be a good game at M

769
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: ANDT Bank Stadium. Get there early, make sure you're there

770
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: for this one. It's gonna be awesome because the Ravens

771
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: are getting Let's go
