Like, what was your thought 5 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: as you were watching that unfold? I'm like, there's no way, 6 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: no way.

I feel like I can 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: do all three all three phases, and I can do 10 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: them at a high level. Something is just about proving 11 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: it at this point. Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: We are now through OTA's three weeks are in the books, 13 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: and the Ravens are gonna turn to minicamp next week, 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: which will be the next phase of the offseason program, 15 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: an exciting one. But before we do, we wanted to 16 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: bring on a guy who's created some waves so far 17 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: at OTAs. I like the waves. It was kind of 18 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: like a gnarly just wait me. I don't know, but 19 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: this Dale and Hayes, the outside linebacker, second year guy 20 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: out of Notre Dame. You know, I've been a fan, 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: yeah for a little while now, and so I'm excited 22 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: to get him on the pod today. Yeah, Daln has 23 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: been a young player who I think has stood out 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: to me at times during OTA's I think he's got 25 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: really good bursts off the edge. He's getting a ton 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: of reps in practice, which is a lot. I'm real 27 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: positive for him, I think because you you know, like 28 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: part of I think what a lot of guys ask 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: for is an opportunity. That he's getting the opportunity because 30 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: some of the players who would be in line for 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: the starting reps have not been playing. Adaphi always coming 32 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: back from a shoulder injury, shoulder surgery that he had 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,119 Speaker 1: last year, Tis spouse or torn achilles. David Jaba hasn't 34 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: taken the field yet torn achils. So he's getting a 35 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,960 Speaker 1: lot of action and I think that he is making 36 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: the most of the opportunity that he has. Yeah, totally agree. 37 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: So let's jump right into that interview. Well, we are 38 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: thrilled to be joined by Dale and Hayes and Dale 39 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: and Knees.

Yeah, the 45 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: reps that I missed out last year. You know, I've 46 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: just been really just trying to take full advantage of, uh, 47 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: you know obviously the reps that I'm getting right now 48 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: with guys being down, so just taking every rep for 49 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: for for a learning experience, trying to grow from it 50 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: and you know, just get better.

I mean these guys like I mentioned, you know, 53 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: David Jabos working back from the Achilles ties is working 54 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: back from the Achilles. You know, Darfe had the shoulder surgery. 55 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: You know, There's all these guys kind of on the mend. Uh. 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: How do you look at your opportunity to really make 57 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: an impact this year? I think it's it's awesome, man. 58 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: I Mean it's not something that I could have I 59 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: could have planned, or anybody could have like you know, 60 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: kind of planned for so. Um, it's just kind of 61 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 1: like you know, you're you don't know when your number 62 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: is going to be called, but when you do, you 63 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: want to be ready. So just trying to be prepared 64 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 1: as possible, working my butt off during the offseason, um, 65 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: during the OTAs and all this stuff like that. So 66 00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: just trying to be as prepared as possible for the 67 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: moment when you go into these practices. Was there kind 68 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: of an attitude of relief to some extent because you're 69 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: getting to play again? Like last year, I was impressed 70 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: with the way that you played, you know, leading up 71 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: to the season. Then the injuries kind of came into play, 72 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: But I gotta believe there was an element of like 73 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: just excitement to be playing football again. Yeah, it's an excitement, 74 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: but it's also like a chip, right because I also 75 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: want people to realize that, like, you know, I don't 76 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: want I don't know, man, I'm a competitive dude, yeah, 77 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: And I put a lot of work into this and 78 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: I'm very confident in my ability. So I really wanted 79 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that people remember the type of player 80 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: that I am, like and I want that's kind of 81 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: like the chip this whole year. I know, I kind 82 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: of like fel you know, being injured and you know, 83 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: I don't really have control over those situations nobody really does, 84 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: but just trying to make the best of the situation. 85 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: But right now, man, it's just about proving, you know, 86 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: the type of guy that you know. I know, I 87 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: am the type of worker, I am, the type of 88 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: player I am, and I want to prove that to 89 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: people in the building. People you know what I'm saying 90 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: in the huddle, Yeah, the fans, the city, you know. 91 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: So that's really something that's at the back of my mind. 92 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: It's just really, you know, trying to show the type 93 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: of guy a man. You gotta convince me. I'm driving 94 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Dale and Hayes bust tell Garrett I will vouch for him. 95 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: I will have been saying it for a while. Well, 96 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: like you call my eye last year, you know, in 97 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: camp and an offseason practice, I was like, this, dude's 98 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 1: got some bursts off the edge, and you can really 99 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: I don't have I didn't play football. I don't have 100 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: the terminology for it really, but like you're Ben and 101 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: like kind of then and like and you come up, yeah, 102 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: it's really I think unique, Like it's really good. It's 103 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: very special, you know, And and I could just see 104 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: that kind of coming on. I was like, man, if 105 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: that move is nasty and so yeah, I just feel 106 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of untapped potential there for you. 107 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: And and we saw flashes of it last season and 108 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: now it's it feels like you're just kind of picking 109 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: up where you left off. You know, Um, I think 110 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: you know to to the rip to the like, Yeah, 111 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: that's kind of like something I actually started developing and 112 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: figured out what work as a password. You really want 113 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to find out what works for you. Yeah, it works 114 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 1: for me, isn't gonna work for a Dafe who's six five, 115 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: a longer guy he has like you know, I'm not 116 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 1: exactly long. Yeah, you know me, I'm more of like 117 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: a twitchy burst and have been like, you know, flexibility 118 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,600 Speaker 1: type type player. And I figured that out towards the 119 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: end of my college career, and um, it's just really 120 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: been something that I've really tried to hone in on. 121 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: And you know, even last year when when Justin Houston 122 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: got in and he was trying to talk to us 123 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: about it, like, you know, what are the moves that 124 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: are gonna work for me for Dafe? Um, he was 125 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: just talking about that. He was like, that's that's that's 126 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: your that's your speedball and he's just like, you know, 127 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: that's learning how to counter off of that, learning how 128 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: to build a rush, a secondary rush off of that, 129 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: how to set it up right. I think was really 130 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: something that I was starting to catch on to um 131 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: in training camp, learning from a guy like that. And 132 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: that's why I feel like this right now, like I'm 133 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: able to pick up Like now I'm really rolling with it, 134 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: Like now I know how to I know how to 135 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 1: set it up. I know how to give him. You 136 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, my head fate going in jab 137 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: inside and just kind of like spin my spin off 138 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: of that, and you know, just kind of working everything else. 139 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: But and then you know, the power comes in, you know, 140 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: the burst and speed, the power, so you know, just 141 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: really kind of learning how to formulate the combos. For me, 142 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: it's kind of like playing chess with the offensive tackle on. 143 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: It's something that I feel like I've really I feel 144 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: a lot more comfortable with this year. Cool. Now, you 145 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: you stayed here and trained and rehabited over the course 146 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: of the off season, right, ye, And what made what 147 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: went into that decision?

Like I mean, every time 175 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: I put on a Ravens jersey. It's since I was 176 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: a kid, that's always meant something to me, and as 177 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: an adult, I haven't lost that passion. So I really 178 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: just wanted to the best way to show that you 179 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, that you love something or that you you 180 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: you honor something is by being there, being president and 181 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: being accessible, right, so like being accessible to our strength staff, 182 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: to our coaching staff, to the community. Um, it was 183 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: really important for me. So that's that's kind of like 184 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: really the driving force behind it. Yeah, that's also I 185 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: mean you have been you know, the community involvement is 186 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: a piece that I remember you talked about from your 187 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: draft call. You know, like we had a chance to 188 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,679 Speaker 1: talk to you about five minutes after you guy drafted 189 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: and you brought that up, you know, something that was 190 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: significance to you and like you're you're making true on 191 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: your word in that regard, Like you have very been 192 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: very involved in the community. Since day one, and then 193 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: this offseason. You know there's a number of community events 194 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: that you hosted one of our Mother's Day. Um you know, 195 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: why is that something that is so important to you 196 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: and that you take it so seriously? Um Man? I 197 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: think you know, Pat McCarry gave a wise word and 198 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: he talked about, you know, the greatest thing that a 199 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: man can do, like when he's working, is to be 200 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: of service when you're sacrificing or you're suffering for somebody else. Um. 201 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: I think this platform that we're given as a football player, 202 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: as a Baltimore Ravens football player, in the city like Baltimore, 203 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: where our team means so much to the fans, I 204 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: think it's really important that we maximize this this platform 205 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,839 Speaker 1: to give back in some form of fashion. And who 206 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: the hell am I not to right? And that's that's 207 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: what that was my montra when I was in college, 208 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and that's something that I'm sticking true to this day, 209 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: you know. And I promised the city when I was 210 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: drafted here that I will find ways to one serve 211 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 1: and then leave the city better than when I found it. 212 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 1: So regardless of how things went on the field this year, 213 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: obviously didn't have the season that I wanted, But man, 214 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 1: that had nothing to do with the community work and 215 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: the stuff that I promised that I would do when 216 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: I when I first got here. So just really holding 217 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: true to that. There's something that's been true to me 218 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: since I was you know, um when when when did 219 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: I starts serving? Like in college? So yeah, you know 220 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: it's been been been true to me, then why would 221 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: it not be true to me now? So I'm here, 222 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: I'm you know, working out here, and so I might 223 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: as well have served and help people along the way. 224 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: You're such a positive, like optimistic guy. You know, you 225 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: just have that vibe about you, that energy. But when 226 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: you have a tough rookie season like that because of injuries, 227 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: when you're injured, you can't play, Like, how difficult was 228 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: that for you to have to especially when you got 229 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: off to a good starting practice to have to sit out. Uh, yeah, 230 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: that's tough. It's it's tough, but you know his life 231 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: life is isn't about the situations that are presented to you. 232 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: It is how you respond. And you know, for me, 233 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: I had a moment, I had a I had a 234 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 1: couple of weeks I remember being down and I remember 235 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: JK JK had said something Timmy. JK was like bro. 236 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: He was like and broddy as well, and they were 237 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: just like, you know, when you came in, they were like, 238 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: you have like you know naturally. I'm just more like, 239 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: you know, I kind of like him like this. Most 240 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: of the time those couple of weeks. Man, I was 241 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 1: just down, bro because I you know, I had just 242 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: gotten rolling against Detroit, then got hurt fourth play, and 243 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: I'm just like, all right, man, just can't catch a 244 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,440 Speaker 1: break this year. But it's all good. And you know, 245 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: for me, it was just about snapping out of it, 246 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: snapping out of it and get into work. Right. So 247 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: at that point in time, what are the things that 248 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I can work on I'm hurt, Okay, I can really 249 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: dive in and double down on the playbook. Okay. Now 250 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: I can find ways now that I'm a professional athlete 251 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: to take care and manage my body, build a team 252 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 1: around me to make sure that I'm you know, taking 253 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: care of my body on and off the field. What 254 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: are the things that I can do to start setting 255 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: up in the community so I can actually start to 256 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: get to work this offseason. What are the things that 257 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: I can do lifting wise, Like I wanted to get 258 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: bigger upper body. I wanted to get a little bit 259 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: more stronger upper body so I could be a little 260 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: bit more stout and first and second down, so you know, 261 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: those things. Really just kind of finding ways to shift 262 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: my mindset and my perspective from Okay, this is a 263 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: tough start, this is rough, blah blah blah too. Okay, 264 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: this is the situation. How do I grow from it? 265 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: How do I get better from it? And I think 266 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: that that's really the difference between a lot of guys 267 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: who fizzle out or guys who anybody in any profession really, 268 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you if you take a 269 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: perspective of what was me, I think it's hard to 270 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: be successful in anything that you do, so right, just 271 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: trying to shift that as much as possible, shift that 272 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: perspective and find ways to grow and get better, I 273 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: think is what kind of kept me motivated and kind 274 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 1: of kept me to get to this point right now 275 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully to having a great season this year. It's 276 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: just shifting that perspective and staying positive and finding ways 277 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559 Speaker 1: to grow from the situations that you're in. Right. You 278 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: kind of mentioned it, you know, you found your stride 279 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: at Nitre Dame kind of later in your career. You know, 280 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: your final year you had that kind of your breakout season. 281 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: You know, how do you think that you changed as 282 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: a player then, and how do you envision yourself as 283 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: a player now, Like what your real strengths are? Is 284 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: it the pass rush, dropping coverage kind of guy? You know, 285 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: it kind of reminds me it's highest like you know, 286 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: you're a different body style than as you said her 287 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: Dafe and Jalen ferguson to those guys, like how do 288 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: you view your game and the strengths of your game? Um, 289 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: I think one like I think in college if you 290 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: really like track back, like all the way to high 291 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: school and stuff, the first meaningful football, Like I was 292 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: kind of learning the game, like I had switched to 293 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: a new position when I first got to Notre Dame, 294 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: right and in high school, I was playing running back, 295 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: tight end, whatever, I was playing everything right at Yeah, 296 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: just an athlete and uh, you know when I got 297 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: to Notre Dame, it gave me an opportunity to really 298 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: hone in on one position and kind of like throughout 299 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: those years, it was just kind of like the ups 300 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: and downs and in the beginning. You know, obviously I've 301 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: always been athletic, I've always been able to drop, I've 302 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: always been able to pass, rush, but really just trying 303 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: to find my pick and shooes my moments and becoming 304 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: a smarter football player. So I think that throughout Notre 305 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: Dame that was really kind of like the process of that. Obviously, 306 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: my senior year twenty nineteen, before I got hurt, I 307 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: was plane. I was like the most productive end that 308 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: we had up to that point, up until the industry, right, 309 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: But you know, I think that my fifth year I 310 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: was really able to have a full year where I 311 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: was just confident in what I was doing, knew what 312 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: I was doing, how I wanted to play first and 313 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: second down against the run, being able to drop, being 314 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: able to pass for us, being a threat in that regard, 315 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: and being cerebral and knowing what how offices are trying 316 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: to attack us, what are we're trying to do. And 317 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: that's really important for me, man, like understanding scheme and 318 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I love that, Like I love to 319 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: study the game. So you know, for me, how do 320 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: I describe myself? Man, I feel like I'm a cerebral player. 321 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm athletic, but I don't really feel 322 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: like it's really a part of my game that I don't. 323 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: I feel more confident than the other I feel good 324 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: in the run game. I feel good and passed us, 325 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:42,959 Speaker 1: I feel good dropping. I feel I don't want to 326 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: put I don't want to put a label on what 327 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: type of guy am. I feel like I can. I 328 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: feel like I can do all three all three phases, 329 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 1: and I can do them at a high level. So 330 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 1: you know, it's just something that it's just about proving 331 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: it at this point.

So we had 542 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: James Prochet on the podcast last week and we talked 543 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: with him a little bit about these practices and how 544 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 1: in a lot of ways, like you're trying to build 545 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: chemistry and prove yourself and all this stuff, but it's 546 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: also just kind of really important for the reps that 547 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: you're getting that you get a chance to kind of 548 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: show the coaches and the scouts like, hey, I'm ready 549 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: for like a bigger role, and I kind of look 550 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: at you in the outside linebacker group in a similar 551 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: situation to some degree. We talked a little bit about 552 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: it earlier because of like being shorthanded with the injuries 553 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 1: in that position. Do you see it that way, Like 554 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: I kind of see the receiver group and the outside 555 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: linebacker group similar in that, like you have this real opportunity, 556 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: and how have you felt like you know that opportunity 557 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: has gone over the course of the last you know, 558 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: six weeks, this entire offseason, you know, leading into training 559 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: camp to luck, like let everyone know I'm ready, Like 560 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm ready to take on a bigger role this year. Absolutely, 561 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: I mean I think that, Like I said, man, anytime 562 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: I go on the field, I'm extremely competitive, So I mean, 563 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: and I know the work that I put in off 564 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: the field, and I'm confident in the type of player 565 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: that I am. So for me, it's obviously you know, 566 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: going haven't been injured last year, but it's just about 567 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 1: proving that I I'm still the guy that you guys 568 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: thought I was last year, and if not, I'm better 569 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: than I was last year. So I really just kind 570 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: of want to show that. I mean, you got to 571 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: go prove it. That's what the NFL is all about. Man, 572 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: you got to prove it day in and day out. 573 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: And OTA's this isn't the season, but it's a great 574 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: This is a start, right, it starts in their off 575 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: season training and it's phases. Right. You start in your 576 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: off season, you go through OTA's mini camp, go through 577 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 1: training camp, and then you obviously go through the season. 578 00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: So for me, it's just about attacking and winning those 579 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 1: sections like attacking and winning my off season training, body prep, 580 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 1: learning my routines, what what what do I need to 581 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: do before I go on the field after the field? 582 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: Mini camp are OTAs would not you know, just proving 583 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: that you know I'm healthy one, and then two that 584 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: I can be a guy like I mean, I'm I'm 585 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: confident in my abilities.

Yeah 673 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, like I don't know, 674 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: just squeaky clean yeah he Um. I think that he 675 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: like he is, I think the total package in that 676 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: regard in a lot of ways. Um, And like as 677 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 1: I as I alluded to, like I give him a 678 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: lot of credit. He was like the only guy here 679 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: for large portions of the offseason, and it's got it's 680 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: kind of lonely, like as a player when you're like 681 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: looking around and it's February and you're just you. It's 682 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 1: just you, and like the training staff and the podcast 683 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: guys like that's like that's like you know, and he 684 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: was here, Um, and you get to know like people 685 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: a little bit more during that time because you're just 686 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: like looking for people to talk to. And I think 687 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: that he definitely like really became close with the community 688 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: relations staff and is organizing events and that is like 689 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: something that it's not just lip service for him, Like 690 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: he is very passionate about giving back in the community 691 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: and so I give him a ton of credit for that. 692 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: And I think that he like he I really do 693 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: believe that he went to work since the time that 694 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: his season ended, being like, all right, here's what I 695 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: gotta do to like make my NFL career last and 696 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: get on the field next year. Yeah, And um, I 697 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: think you will. I think he will. I really do. 698 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: I Mean there's like there's a real opportunity there at 699 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: outside linebacker. Not sure exactly when Tias Bowser is going 700 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: to be ready. To me, that's that was kind of 701 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: my question about like what kind of player do you see? 702 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: Like I see him very much being a Taias Bowser 703 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: kind of dude. Like Tias came in as a you know, 704 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: twitched up kind of speed rusher off the edge who 705 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: was very athletic and could drop. And that's you know 706 00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: how I kind of look at Dalen now, you know, 707 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: to his point is like I can do everything, so 708 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: you don't say I can't stop the run basically, which 709 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, but like I think that his 710 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: bread and butter is going to be rushing the passer 711 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: and and being that like kind of uh Sam dropping 712 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: linebacker in a you know, a bunch of different ways 713 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: that can help this defense. Well, it could be a 714 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: really important job too, because if Taias isn't ready for 715 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: the sort of the season, or even if he's playing 716 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: but isn't full strength, there's like a process of ramping 717 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: him up and easy of course. Yeah. Um, Vince Beagel 718 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: is another guy who's getting a lot of reps in 719 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: the associate practices. He's a veteran who they're even signed 720 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: as a hybrid inside outside linebacker. He's been working a 721 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: lot of outside linebacker and uh, you know, he may 722 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: earn his way onto the team based on the numbers there, 723 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: and especially they don't make another signing. You know, we've 724 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: talked a lot about that. Do they bring somebody else in. 725 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of discussion about justin Houston and 726 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: do they you know, bring him back. I think that 727 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: kind of depends upon what they see. Similar to the 728 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver room, like your point, you know, those rooms 729 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: are very similar in terms of opportunity. You know, how 730 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: much does Vince Bagels show, how much does this Dalen 731 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: Hayes show, and how ready they are could have not 732 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: undrafted rookie really you know, like this moon and kid 733 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: out of Florida, could they kind of step up and 734 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: grab the you know, sees the opportunity. Yeah, So any 735 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: other quick thoughts from OTAs now that we've had a 736 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, when now the OTAs are in the 737 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: books in the mini camps next week. I mean, in 738 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: the open practice that we saw this week, I thought 739 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,200 Speaker 1: the defense, you know, they had a particularly strong day, 740 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,560 Speaker 1: especially the defensive front. Just get batting balls. Yeah, they 741 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,080 Speaker 1: were knocking everything down well and John Horball said, you know, 742 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: they're not really rushing foolly, right, so they're like, well, 743 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: I might as well try to jump and get this ball. 744 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: You know. I think that was frustrating the offense little nag. Yes, 745 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean almost as many defensive players touch the ball 746 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 1: as offensive players in practice, and which, you know, you 747 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: can look at that and be like, what's going on 748 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: with the offense. The flip side of that is, well, 749 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: the defense. Like one thing that I took away from 750 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: it is I'm telling you this defense and the secondary 751 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: are loaded, loaded, and we don't even have Marcus Peters 752 00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: back on the field yet or Kyle Fuller or Kyle 753 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: Fuller right, he's not on the field yet. And I'm 754 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: telling you there is a lot of talent in this secondary. 755 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 1: And like what I like to see is that the 756 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,239 Speaker 1: defense is already starting to get a little swagger, like 757 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: you just feel it, like they're starting to kind of 758 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 1: feel it. Um. The rookie corners stood out to me 759 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: in practice wednesday. I think Jayleen Arma Davis has had 760 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 1: some really strong practices, made some plays, got an interception. 761 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: I think the second OTAs Pepe Williams is I'm gonna 762 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 1: market right now I'm putting it down the stamp, the 763 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 1: mink stamp of approval, Tony, this guy's gonna be a player. 764 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: I'm Tony, He's gonna be a player. Well, when you 765 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 1: put the mink stamp of approval on something, yet, that 766 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: means to me, iron clad that that's that's concerning. You know, 767 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,480 Speaker 1: that usually means no good things. But I do like 768 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 1: what I've seen from Pepe. There was a funny kind 769 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: of moment in practice on Wednesday. He was going up 770 00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: against for Sean Bateman and they were it was during 771 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 1: eleven on a levin drills and him and Bateman were 772 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,640 Speaker 1: drawn at each other a little bit after the play, 773 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,600 Speaker 1: and I think Bateman's letting him know that, you know, 774 00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,439 Speaker 1: I could have beat you and not on that baby said, 775 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 1: I could have gone deep on you, and he goes, 776 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 1: we'll go deep then we'll do it. Yeah, if he 777 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:13,839 Speaker 1: could have gone, if he could have done it, can 778 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: do it. And there's probably a few more words that 779 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 1: were throwing in there, but it was I liked his 780 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: I really do. I like his his attitude. He's a 781 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: feisty guy. He is he's confident. He's confident, which is 782 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 1: con so I like him I think that both those 783 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: guys and Armour Davis like is a great athlete. He 784 00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: moves well, he's got sticky, he's sticky in coverage. Yeah. 785 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: Um so I like what both those guys have been 786 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: able to do. One thing I like about Peppie Williams 787 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: is so I'm waiting for Dalon Hayes to come down 788 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: for the podcast, and he walks in with Keith Williams, 789 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: one of the Ravens fighter receivers coaches, and Keith likes 790 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 1: to give it the players. Oh yeah, he's he's firing. 791 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 1: Oh he's a trash talker. Yeah he is, you know. 792 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 1: And he says, Pepe, hey man, Miniica, we come to 793 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,879 Speaker 1: minicamp next week. We're going one on ones. You're done 794 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: to pee? Is like what He's just like, I love that. 795 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: That's my favorite jewel. I can't wait for that, right, 796 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: And he's barking back at him and like, oh, you know, 797 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 1: they're going back and forth the petas he's getting he's 798 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: stopping his chest. He said, come on, you know like 799 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 1: all this stuff, and I just I like the kid man. 800 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: I like him. Yeah, that's a great story. I think 801 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: he is. I do. I like him as well. I 802 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: like the attitude and um, like John Harball said this week, 803 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 1: you asked him about those two guys and he's like, 804 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: those guys are gonna play. They're gonna be important for 805 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: us this year. And we all saw last year the 806 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 1: value of corner depth, and I think that that's gonna 807 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: be really important with those guys. I do also want 808 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,319 Speaker 1: to mention like, well, I do think the defense won 809 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: the day on Wednesday. There were some nice moments by 810 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: the receivers. For Shod Bateman had a nice touchdown catch 811 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,640 Speaker 1: down the sidelines. James Prochet went up and had a 812 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,879 Speaker 1: nice contested catch also for a touchdown. So like there 813 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 1: were some moments there for the for the receivers which 814 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: I thought were positive. And obviously, next week, like all 815 00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: eyes are gonna be on Lamar and this is gonna 816 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: be the first time to see him at mandatory camp 817 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,320 Speaker 1: because he wasn't here for the voluntary portion of the 818 00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,839 Speaker 1: offseason program. So like that is going to take center 819 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,960 Speaker 1: stage as it obviously should next week, but that will 820 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,200 Speaker 1: be like I'll just be curious to see where the 821 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 1: offense looks like, So if the defense won this week, yeah, 822 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 1: I think the defense up with Lamar back on the field. 823 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,239 Speaker 1: Is what your thing? Yeah, because it's like it's hard 824 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: to assess, like where is the offense? Well, it's tough 825 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: to assess the offense without the most important piece. Yes, 826 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: so we're gonna get a chance to see that next week. Yeah, 827 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 1: totally agree.

It 844 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: was scoreless until a minute left in the first half. 845 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: Because of this, I got to see a lot of 846 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: our new guy, Jordan's stout. This dude was boom. He 847 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 1: actually wrote this. Yeah. Actually, yeah, it's good.

Coach Cook 852 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,359 Speaker 1: should have a great time teaching him the way he said, 853 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: I look forward to more podcasts during the off season. 854 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, Yet, I have liked what I've seen him 855 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 1: from George Stout. He does have a huge leg. Yeah, 856 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: I mean he really does. He can bomb the football. Um, 857 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 1: he's done a good job with holding. Um. Yeah. I 858 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: just like, you know, it's kind of cool. They got 859 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,200 Speaker 1: a camera on his helmet. Yeah, that's what I was 860 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: about to say. It's just like a GoPro. Yeah, they're 861 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,560 Speaker 1: getting up close look at those holds. Yeah, yeah, and 862 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: every and everything exactly making sure they see what he 863 00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: sees it's an interesting little wrinkle. I like that. Yeah. Well, 864 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: you know when Sam joined the podcast, he obviously mentioned 865 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: like that George Stout has a big leg. Like the 866 00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 1: first first thing, first impression, the dude's got a big leg. 867 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: Now you got to work on the mechanics and the 868 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: technique and all that stuff, but that is something that 869 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:54,799 Speaker 1: stands out. And I actually the first time I saw 870 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: George Stout, I was like, he's just a big guy. 871 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,120 Speaker 1: Like he doesn't necessarily like look like, oh, that's that's 872 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: the patterer. Like, oh, I told him this at the 873 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,360 Speaker 1: clean up day, yeah, Monday. I was like, is that 874 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: a tight end?

I said. All the 903 00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: men cheered while the women looked at us like we 904 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 1: were fools. Needless to say, my wife quickly told me 905 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 1: no more microphone for you. So he wanted us to 906 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 1: give a shout out to Barry Wells, the DJ, for 907 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: making that happen. So well done, Barry well I played, sir, 908 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: well done across the board. And if David a Jaba 909 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: turns out to be as good of a players, I 910 00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,959 Speaker 1: think we all could see him becoming. Yes, that's gonna 911 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: be a lifelong memory right there for sure. Yeah, pretty cool, 912 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,880 Speaker 1: Pretty cool. You see your job of walking out to 913 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:04,160 Speaker 1: the practice field, I mean that's you'd also you're talking 914 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: about athletic specimens. Yeah, dude, it looks twitched up absolutely, 915 00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: And obviously it's gonna be a little while before he's 916 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: back on the field, Like we're not getting to that 917 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 1: point yet, but like he's walking around, which, like when 918 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,759 Speaker 1: you're coming back from a torn achilles is a big step. Yeah, 919 00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,160 Speaker 1: so like you kind of take baby steps on your 920 00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: way in that progression. But it's encouraging to see him 921 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,880 Speaker 1: moving around a little bit and physically you can see 922 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:31,240 Speaker 1: the attraction and why he was such a highly talented player. 923 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 1: So I can't wait to see once he does get 924 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,239 Speaker 1: on the field. Yeah, this outside linebacker's crew is kind 925 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 1: of under the microscope for the Ravens pass rush. There's 926 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 1: a lot of upgrades the secondary, you know, defensive line 927 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,759 Speaker 1: got upgraded with Travis Jones, Michael Pierce being signed, you know, 928 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: and now I think all eyes are kind of on 929 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: the edge rushers and are they going to be able 930 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 1: to get enough pressure? So I think they're kind of 931 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,839 Speaker 1: being slept on a little bit. These guys are gonna 932 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: come back from injuries. Daln As I said as I 933 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: wear my Daleen Hayes Jersey. Um, I think, you know, 934 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: if he's a guy that can get five six sacks, 935 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: get some good pressure, that'll be a good season for 936 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: him and and contribute in a big way. Patrick Queen 937 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:14,839 Speaker 1: can blitz. I'm excited about Kyle Hamilton getting his first 938 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: career sacked. Yeah that's coming this year. But money, that's 939 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 1: another man stamp of approval. Kyle Howilton's getting a sack 940 00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: left and right over here, babe. Anyway, we'll save that 941 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 1: for the predictions pod, yeah, which are always terrible, but 942 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,600 Speaker 1: all right, anyway, thank you for listening.
