00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just I'm excited thing about something like that.

9
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 3: And I just told our guys, you know you're proud

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: of it. Of course, you know you appreciate it. But

11
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 3: the thing that you're proud of is all those games

12
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 3: are mostly just like that, you know, preseason games that

13
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 3: people want to write about. Some of you in here

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: want to write about and say they don't mean anything

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: because you never played the game. You never were out

16
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: there in a preseason game, you never were fighting for

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: a spot on the team. And yet you have the

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: audacity to say that the effort that somebody puts into

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: that to win and fight and win a game like

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: that is meaningless.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 4: Tell me that was meaningless out there. What you just saw.

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 4: If you like football, is that a meaningless football game.

23
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,119
Speaker 3: You know, I can't respect anybody that says that because

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: of the effort these guys put into it.

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: That's what's such. You're proud of me.

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 3: That's that's why I'm so proud of these guys for

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 3: the way they fought. It doesn't matter win or loss,

28
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: it matters. It matters the way they the way they

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 3: went about their business tonight, and I'm proud of them

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: for that always will be.

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: John.

Speaker 5: Got to see the flowers getting the end zone early

33
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,400

00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 4: It was great to see it.

37

Speaker 3: I mean, just to see that and he the way

38
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: he played and uh uh just you know, the offense

39
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: and the uh you know, just creating plays like that,

40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, great, and we did in the run game

41
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: as well. And then how about a guy like Vocal

42
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: like you know, going out there and catching those passes

43
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: and scoring to touchdown. Charlie Kohlar stepping up and making

44
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 3: the catches. Both quarterbacks played outstanding.

45
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

46
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 4: Just really happy with all of.

47
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 6: That, John, just to kind of go up your answer

48
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 6: and Champs there I mean, you think about all the

49
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 6: players who involved over the last.

50
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 7: Seven years in this organization and it's a hoow fighting

51
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 7: away to the win. What does that beaching be good

52
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 7: this organization and somehow fighting commonuity even though the rough

53
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 7: appreciation old record.

54
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, I just think it's something

55
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: that it's just it's one of these things you look

56
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: at and you just you go, wow, how did that happen?

57
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: You know, how did something like that take place? It's

58
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 3: pretty it's pretty remarkable. It's you know, what are the odds?

59
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: You know, and to say to say, there's no one

60
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 3: reason it happens, but it says a lot about a

61
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: lot of people, a lot of people's effort, a lot

62
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: a lot of good practice, a lot of good meeting time,

63
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: a lot of young players working hard to be as

64
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: good as they can be, a lot of coaches developing

65
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: those players, scouts fighting those players. All those things kind

66
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: of come into play. But in the end, it's about

67
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: It's about a bunch. It's about football and the and

68
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 3: the and the men and women now who play who

69
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: play the game, And it shows you what this what

70
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: makes this game so great, why it does matter so much?

71
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: Because it takes those kind of efforts that that's what

72
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 4: you have to do. It's it's it's a courageous game.

73
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: It's it's a game for courageous people, and it's a

74
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: game for people that willing to go out there and

75
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,399
Speaker 3: throw themselves around in really tough, awkward situations physicality.

76
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: You know, it takes.

77
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: It takes that kind of grit to play this game

78
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: and to fight like that. And that's I think most

79
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 3: people that love football love it for that reason right there.

80
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: They respect what it takes to play the game. So

81
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 3: that's what I feel. That's how I feel about our players,

82
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: feel about every player in the national football but I

83
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 3: especially feel that way about the Ravens and then the

84
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 3: and the and the men who played for the Ravens

85
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: Now and the men who played for the Ravens all

86
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: those other years. I'm really very proud of that part

87
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: of it.

88
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 6: Perfectively, it seemed like commanders were very motivated to the

89
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 6: end of the streak.

90
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want to get into all that. I mean,

91
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: you hear people say what they say. Guys say what

92
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: they say, and obviously it was meaningful to them. I

93
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: saw them celebrating over there and put more power to

94
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: them and gratulations. They want to They want a hard

95
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 3: fought football game, you know, and they deserved it in

96
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: the end to to celebrate, so they should celebrate.

97
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: The last whole chat, John, you have a.

98
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, not so not too. You had no serious injuries

99
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: in the game, so we're happy with that.

100
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbaugh. We also heard from

101
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback Josh Johnson, who had a strong performance as

102
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: he makes the case to be the Ravens number two quarterback.

103
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: A few other preseason game year.

104
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 8: Nah, just like coach said, like, uh, for us players,

00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 8: the opportunity to go out there and play in the

107
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 8: NFL game. And then you know, especially for the young guys,

Speaker 8: little like really getting it out of the mud. Honestly,

112
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 8: saw guys playing kickoff, turning right back around, playing defense.

113
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 9: You know, we were down and run running back at

114
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,720

00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 8: you know, do what y'all see every day. You know,

161
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 8: we able to get the ball in his hands early. Uh,

162
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 8: He's gonna be a very exciting player. And obviously whenever

163
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 8: his moves are wilds. It's just like that every day.

164
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 8: So it automatically injects life into the whole team. Just

165
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 8: to see him go out there and just untleast your

166
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 8: special talent. I'm excited for the young fella.

167
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 11: I is there something different about this organization that allowed

168
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 11: this streak to happen that the way it did relative

169
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 11: to how other players approach these games.

170
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, we j we just grind for it, man.

171
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 8: Like uh, like I was joking the other day that

172
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 8: you know, I's aid by that coach Harbwald training camp,

173
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 8: you know at my age, and uh, but you know,

174
00:06:59,440 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 8: we work.

175
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: We we work every day. Every day we work.

176
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 9: And I think that's why the from the top to

177
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 9: the roster to the bottom of the roster, you see

178
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 9: guys go.

179
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Out there and play good football.

180
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 8: And h you know, that's a credit to this organization

181
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 8: and credit to the coaching staff, you know, credit to

182
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 8: the players because we we show up every day with

183
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 8: the where the work, where the work mentality, and uh,

184
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 8: you know it it shows up on the field when

185
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 8: we go out there and play good football.

186
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 12: Just what do you what have you seen from kadof

187
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 12: malls to the.

Speaker 2: Borders of this great family.

189
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 8: Just a consistent player can do everything, play anywhere coaches

190
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 8: need him to do, whatever the coaches need.

191
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: She continue to show up and make plays. Uh.

192
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 9: Last time I was here in twenty one, I got

193
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 9: to play with him a little bit and he was

194
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 9: the same.

195
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 8: Guy, and he just keeps evolving. So you know, sky's

196
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 8: a limit for tie U. We all trust him and

197
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 8: we all believe that he can make continue to make plays.

198
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 8: That's why he can continue to get opportunities.

199
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: In addition to Josh Johnston, we also heard from safety

200
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 1: and defensive back or Darius Washington. He had a strong

201
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: show as the Ravens are shorthanded in the secondary right now,

202
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: but Ardarius had a really nice game and he talked

203
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: about that afterwards.

204
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 6: Her Darius, you came back in that game in that

205
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: last right, Was that just where you could run out

206
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 6: of their corners at that.

207
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 13: Point, Yes, sir, Uh, someone had got hurt and so

208
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 13: I had to come in take a place.

209
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: Sure.

210
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: Was that just get the win knocked out of you?

211
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 13: Yeah? I just got the wind knocked out of I

212
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 13: mean nothing major.

213
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think you lived in balance, you know, since

214
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 12: you get up changed if you're talking about how you

215
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 12: think you're doing, because you obviously you made a lot

216
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 12: of players, both in practice and doing the games.

217
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 13: I mean, the main thing is just staying consistent, you

218
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 13: know what I'm saying, doing it, doing the right things

219
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 13: and stuff like that. Being in the right situation, white

220
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 13: places and everything like that, but really just staying consistent

221
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 13: for me, understanding the car and everything and what we're

222
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 13: doing around And that's the main thing for me.

223
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 5: Darius, seen you moved all around outside inside safety. Has

224
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 5: it been to kind of where a bunch of different

225
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 5: hats on the details.

226
00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 13: I mean, man, I mean it's just that so that

227
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 13: I can learn, I can do it all.

228
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 10: You feel me?

229
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 13: So that's the main thing that it showed to me. Shit,

230
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 13: I mean, I I know you were hurting at d

231
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,680

232
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: I mean, how tough was it? That's that defensive back

233
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: group out there towards the end.

234
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 13: I mean it was tough, you know what I'm saying.

235
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 13: We was out there grinding, you know what I'm saying.

236
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 13: So we tryna win. We tryna go out there and compete,

237
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 13: you know what I'm saying. So we didn't really think

238
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 13: about all we hurt right now, but we try to

239
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 13: dig deep in finish the game.

240
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: Alright.

241
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,280

247
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,520

Speaker 13: and other guys on the team, we fight for spots,

249
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 13: so it means everything to us. Whereas what we talk

250
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,160

Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

255
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 13: You always wanna close it as a defense, I wanna

256
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 13: close it out. So it's amazing feelings for sure.

257
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 11: Did the joint practices with the commanders kind of building

258
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 11: anything else, were as you say.

259
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 13: Their competition's way, Ah, I don't think so.

260
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 11: The comments from the commander's lineman called him the street

261
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 11: stupid and if you guys a lot coward.

265
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 13: they want tonight and hey, I took my hats off

266
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 13: to him.

267
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: Right.

268
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 11: It's uh you know, take a place from day all

269
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 11: training camp to see someone another rookie like Travis Bofalo

270
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 11: come out and make a couple of nice plays two touchdowns.

271
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 11: What does it just say about, you know, what you

272
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 11: can kind of do as a first year in this offense.

273
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 11: I haven't been against them every day in training camp.

274
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 13: I mean it shows that he's out there being grinding,

275
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 13: he's been working. You know what I'm saying. I actually

276
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 13: had forgot and so he reminded me when he put

277
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 13: up that too. You know what I'm saying, like letting

278
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 13: everybody know that he got too. So he he's been grinding.

279
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 13: He's been working hard for sure.

280
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: And one of the stars of the show was undrafted

281
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: rookie tight end Travis Bokla. He had a pair of

282
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in this victory. He talked about that afterwards.

283
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 14: You know, I give a lot of credit to my teammates.

284
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 14: You know, they they've really helped me, you know, learn

285
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 14: plays and you know, executing practice. And I've got great

286
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 14: guys in the tight end room that I can learn

287
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 14: from and just continue to do that. And you know,

288
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 14: like I said, it's awesome, but still a long way

289
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 14: to go.

290
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 10: Just a tight end group ousers really deep. Have you

291
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 10: kind of approached coming into a group that's this deep

292
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 10: and you're kind of holding your own.

293
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's you know, there's a lot of experienced guys

294
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 14: in the room, a lot of great guys to learn from,

295
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 14: you know, with Mark and Charlie and Jay and Pat

296
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 14: and Ben, you know, all those guys that they've helped

297
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 14: out a lot. And you know, I've kind of embraced

298
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 14: coming in and just learning from the experienced guys. You know,

299
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 14: I'm an older rookie. I'm twenty five, so it's that's different,

300
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 14: but you know those guys have helped out a lot,

301
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 14: and just just taking it day by day and continue

302
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 14: and learn from mistakes and just keep getting better.

303
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 10: You had a good college career, but you weren't drafted.

304
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 10: Was that disappointing? And did that kind of give you

305
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 10: kind of a chip coming in?

306
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 14: You know, it didn't really bother me. You know, I

307
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 14: wanted to be drafted, of course, but you know, just

308
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 14: an opportunity is all I could ask for. So I

309
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 14: feel like, you know, I'm taking advantage of it. Just

310
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 14: kind of keep working every day and keep learning, and

311
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 14: you know the guys in tid end room is really

312
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 14: helping with that.

313
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 12: Did you dream of catching passes like this, It'll be Monday.

314
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,360

358
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 14: fast and great great human being too, So you know it,

359
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 14: you can say we're the stars, but ultimately comes out

360
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 14: of our teammates, you know, Abe, you know he came

361
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 14: up to me after the game. He's like, dude, you

362
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 14: just had a great game, and I said, I can't

363
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 14: do it without you. So it's it's it's a team game.

364
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 14: And give give a lot of credit to my teammates

365
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 14: and everything.

366
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: So that was undrafted rookie tight end Travis and Ocalat

367
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: who had a pair of touchdowns in the game. So

368
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: and I else had a touchdown was wide receiver Tylan Wallace.

369
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: He's had touchdowns and back to back games and he

370
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: talked about that as well.

371
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 10: Second test down two games. Tell me what happened on

372
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 10: that play?

373
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Good?

374
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 15: Yeah, you know it's out out to monk, you know again,

375
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 15: you know, setting up me, setting me up again in

376
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 15: the red zone. You know, he called the play and

377
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 15: I knew, you know what I had to do, you know,

378
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 15: like I said, uh, he put it right, Could you

379
00:14:58,760 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 15: put it r where it's supposed to be?

380
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: Got to make a play.

381
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 15: So I know we needed that touchdown. So shout out

382
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 15: to everybody for believing to me and making that play.

383
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 10: Before that, you drew a PI can talk about that flack.

384
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.

385
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 15: So obviously he was trying to take another shot down

386
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 15: the field, you know, like I said, when you hear

387
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 15: those opportunities, you got to lock in, especially at the

388
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 15: receiver position. You know, with Monk being oc, he loves

389
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 15: throwing the ball down the field, so you gotta take

390
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 15: advantage of those opportunities. So seeing the balls, obviously trying

391
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 15: to make a play on it and got.

392
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 2: The PI on it.

393
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 10: No secret, there's a lot of competition for that last

394
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 10: you know, wide receiver sponse. You're making a lot of

395
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 10: plays and stuffing out. What do you think is making

396
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 10: a difference for you this year because it seems like,

397
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 10: you know, you really rising to DC.

398
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely, you know, I think just me just trying

399
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 15: to actually just locking in and you know, going through

400
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 15: the past two years and realizing how the game is

401
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 15: played and how it needs to be played. I feel

402
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 15: like I'm really you know, trying to lock into paying

403
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 15: attention to how it's being played and how fast you

404
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 15: need to play, and just you know, obviously this is

405
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 15: a big year for me. So I really took that

406
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 15: the heart this offseason, and I feel like I prepared

407
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 15: really well and I just coming in and I knew

408
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 15: I had to make plays, So I'm just trying to

409
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 15: do what I can do.

410
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: You feel like you've put yours for the summer. I

411
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 4: mean obviously a lot of competition of that position set.

412
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely, Like I said, I mean, uh, I feel

413
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 15: like I can always get better, you know, no matter

414
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 15: what it is. But I definitely knew going into this

415
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 15: off season this year, I need to have a great

416
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 15: year and uh just go out there and do what

417
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 15: I know I'm capable of. So I'm trying to do

418
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 15: the best I can with that.

419
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,840

Speaker 2: Oh b y.

421
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 15: Obviously it was a lot of confidence, you know, you know,

422
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 15: just being out there and uh, you know the career

423
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 15: I had in college and being able to trans now

424
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 15: finally being up. But I feel like I'm starting to

425
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 15: translate that over into the NFL now, so.

426
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: You know it.

427
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 15: It it helps a lot, you know, going out there

428
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 15: making these plays and just doing what I n I

429
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 15: know I'm able to do.

430
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 2: What p What a Justine did you make.

431
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 9: Preparing for the season to get you, like you said,

432
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 9: ready to showcase.

Speaker 2: More of what you need to show up? Yeah?

434
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 15: Boy, Uh, I think I really attacked the off season

435
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 15: uh differently than uh than what I'm used to doing.

436
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 15: I feel like I went I got a new trainer,

437
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 15: I really took it a lot more seriously and new

438
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 15: going into it, just the year I needed to have

439
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 15: and what I knew I could do. So I think

440
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 15: that was the biggest thing for me. And just always,

441
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 15: you know, just taking advantage of the opportunities when they're

442
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 15: given to me.

443
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 11: A lot of players talk about you just want to

444
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 11: get the opportunity so you can make the most.

445
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 10: You feel you've made the most of them.

446
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 15: Yeah, definitely mean I feel like I've I've taken advantage

447
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 15: of the few opportunities that I've that I've gotten so far. Obviously,

448
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 15: I think there were more that I could have you know,

449
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 15: capitalized on. But you know, I'm trying to do the

450
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 15: best what I can with the opportunities that are given

451
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 15: to me. Like I was saying, so, I feel like

452
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,520
