00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: down with Dennis Pitta, the Raven's former tight end and

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,680

00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: So Dennis, good to have you.

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

10
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: We asked to get Joe.

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: On the on the pod, and he declined, you know,

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: he's got a I guess he's got something important going

13
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: on this week.

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: I don't know. So we got his proxy.

15
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: We got Dennis, who's like basically like the second best

16
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: thing to get in.

17
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 2: Joe on the pod. Yeah, so thanks for joining us,

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: Bundy anytime.

19
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: You know, I'm glad that I'm best known as just

20
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco's friend out there in Baltimore. Here's the thing,

21
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you too, because man, it's been a

22
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: lot of years since I've been on this podcast, and

23
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: I've been on a handful of times. You know, this

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: has been a cute little podcast. I didn't think you

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 3: guys would make it this far and I've just impressed

26
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: this thing still going on, to be honest.

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 4: Well, also the jokes haven't changed either.

28
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 5: I think we've probably used that same joke previously what

29
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 5: we've had you on, so the jokes just keep getting

30
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 5: recycled over and over.

31
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 3: Now I don't think I've ever used that one. This

32
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 3: is all new material here. But you know, I didn't

33
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 3: think this would last. I mean I didn't think you

34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: too what it took to make it in the podcast business.

35
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 6: But to find the odds, baby, you guys are still here.

36
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 6: So proud of you too.

37
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dennis, thank you, thank you, thank you, and

38
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: excited to have you come back for the Ravens' thirtieth

39
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: anniversary celebrations. So just you know, how pumped are you

40
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: for the game to come back and see a bunch

41
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,559
Speaker 1: of the guys.

42
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm excited.

43
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we live all the way on the opposite

44
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: side of the country and so getting to games is

45
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: never easy, but we always like to get out to one.

46
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 6: Or two games every year.

47
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: And I'm bringing my son and he he's twelve years

48
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: old now playing tackle football for the first time. So

49
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: you know, he loves the Ravens. He loves Lamar Jackson.

50
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 3: He's so excited to go, so it certainly means a

51
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: lot to him. And that's that's the most fun part

52
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: about it now, going back to the games and being

53
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 3: able to take him around and you know, give him,

54
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: give him a great experience at M and T Bank Stadium.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 3: And it just so happens that the Ravens are playing,

56
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: you know, an old friend of mine, Joe Flacca, Joe's

57
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: first return to M and T Bank Stadiums and see

58
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: left for Denver, you know how many years ago. And

59
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: it's crazy that of all the teams that he's been on,

60
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 3: he's never played, you know, back in Baltimore. And he's

61
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: played Baltimore you know before a few times, but always at.

62
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 6: Home with whatever team he was with. So this is cool.

63
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, Joe. I talked to Joe just

64
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: the other day. He has like fifty family members coming

65
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 3: to this game because it's the one opportunity I think

66
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 3: most of his family's going to be able to come

67
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 3: and see him play. So there's gonna be a good

68
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: little Joe flack go cheering section up up somewhere in

69
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 3: the stadium. And I'll certainly be you know, hoping for

70
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: Joe to do well. But I would not want to

71
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: see this Ravens team at home right now given the

72
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 3: latest debacle up in Buffalo. So it's going to be

73
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 3: tough sledding I think for the Browns this week.

74
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I do want to ask you more

75
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 5: about Joe, but just before we do that, in terms

76
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 5: of coming back to this game as part of the

77
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 5: thirtieth season celebration, Like, how cool is it for you

78
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: to have your place in Ravens's history and to be

79
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: part of a team that is celebrating that, Like you

80
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 5: were part of creating the history. It's still a relatively

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 5: young franchise, but now we're getting into this territory where

82
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 5: like you have some of these historical moments, many of

83
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 5: which you're a part of, and it's a team that's

84
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 5: now celebrating this relatively recent history.

85
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: You need to be part of it.

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's always special.

87
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean when you look back at some of the

88
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: things that our teams were able to ACCOMPLI obviously the

89
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: Super Bowl win was was incredible. Being able to bring

90
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl back to Baltimore for the second time.

91
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: Is it's something that you know will always be a

92
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 3: really special part of my life and certainly you know,

93
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 3: in Raven's history. So we had our what was it,

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: ten year reunion of that Super Bowl team a few

95
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: years ago out in Baltimore, and man, it was so

96
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: fun to be able to get back with that group

97
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 3: and celebrate those moments, those wins through the playoffs, obviously

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: that win in the Super Bowl, and and.

99
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 6: Just be with those guys again.

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: I mean, we're we're forever linked with each other because

101
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 3: of that win.

102
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 6: And I just think that's.

103
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 3: Really cool when you finished playing football and you two

104
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 3: would never understand any of this because you didn't play football.

105
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: So hey, oh, come on, Saint Matthew's sixth and seventh grade.

106
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 5: That was that was elite competition back there in Columbus, Ohio.

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 6: Have you guys ever played organized sports in any My

108
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 6: guess would be no. But but that's besides the point.

109
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: So when you when you're part of a team, there's

110
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 3: nothing like it when you win with with a team,

111
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the camaraderie, the relationships, all that is just

112
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 3: it's it's amazing. And so the hardest thing I think

113
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: when you retire from football is not being a part

114
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 3: of that team. And shoot, I've been retired since twenty seventeen.

115
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: How many years is that. You guys are good at math,

116
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: making it more like math people.

117
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: That's where we weren't playing organized sports if we were

118
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: doing math.

119
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's been a it's been eight or

120
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 7: nine seasons now since since I was playing, which feels

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 7: like a lifetime ago, to be completely honest, it's been.

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 6: Almost a decade now.

123
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 3: But man, you miss being a part of that team

124
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 3: and being in the locker room and the camaraderie and

125
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: all that stuff. So anytime you get to come back

126
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: and be around those guys, it's really special. And I'm

127
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: excited to go out there. There's going to be you know,

128
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: a bunch of guys out there, and uh, you know,

129
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: obviously being able to go and support Joe and see

130
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: him coming back to M and T Banks Stadium and

131
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 3: see the reception. I think he's going to be welcomed

132
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: with open arms, to be completely honest, because you know,

133
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 3: Joe did a lot of good things in Baltimore, and

134
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: it's not like him leaving was controversial or he kind

135
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: of forced his way out or anything.

136
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 6: I think Joe wanted to be a Baltimore Raven for life.

137
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: And circumstances, you know, out of his control changed that,

138
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: and you know, rightfully so that I think the Ravens

139
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 3: obviously made the right move at that point in Joe's career,

140
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 3: moving off of him and going to Lamar. He would

141
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: he would certainly agree with that himself. But man, I

142
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: think he's going to be welcomed with open arms. I'm

143
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: excited for this game.

144
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think that hearing him talk this week,

145
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: he talked about how he's still got love for the

146
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 5: team and the city and the fans, and I think

147
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 5: that I certainly think he's going to get cheers. And

148
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 5: there's still a lot of people that you know, love

149
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 5: Flacco and and you know, he's got a he's got

150
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 5: his place in Ravens history, there's no doubt about it.

151
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: Are you definitely going to get cheered?

152
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

153
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of years ago when the Browns

154
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: were going into the twenty twenty three playoffs and like

155
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: there was Joe was red hot, and there was a

156
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: chance that the Browns and the Ravens were gonna meet in.

157
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: The playoffs and have to face Joe.

158
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,559
Speaker 1: Like I remember, I remember Ravens fans like being angry

159
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: to other Ravens fans for like cheering for Joe and

160
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: the Browns. They were like, god, like we might have

161
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: to face this dude, like why are you rooting for

162
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: Joe flatka, Like it was a big debate, like do

163
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: we root for him?

164
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: Do we not? Like it's it's crazy.

165
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: They beat the Texans, they were gonna come play in Baltimore, right,

166
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 3: I mean I was. I was rooting hard for that

167
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: to happen because I was gonna go to that game

168
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: and that was gonna be really really cool, especially with

169
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: everything at stake Joe. That would have been Joe's first

170
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: return back to Baltimore since he left, and in the

171
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 3: playoffs with the Cleveland brown I mean, it's just it

172
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: was kind of.

173
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 6: You know, too good to be true.

174
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 3: But unfortunately they they didn't get it done and that

175
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: didn't happen, so we had to wait a couple more

176
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: years to see that matchup. But I'm certainly excited to

177
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: see him come back, and yeah, I think people are

178
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 3: going to be cheer and for him. I think you're

179
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: gonna see a lot of dusted off old five jerseys.

180
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: Around the stadium for this one. It's gonna be cool.

181
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, I also give Joe a lot of

182
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 5: credit because I think that like part of the reason.

183
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: Obviously the super Bowl and the success that he had

184
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 5: here is the main reason, but like part of the

185
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: reason I think there's still such good feelings towards Joe

186
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 5: is like when it ended like it was, it was

187
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: amicable on both sides, to the point that you talked

188
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 5: about and like in a lot of situations like that's

189
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 5: not the case, Like it gets nasty for a lot

190
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: of guys at the end of careers, especially when you

191
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: have like the new guy that comes in, and but

192
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 5: Joe is like a true professional during that time, and

193
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 5: him and Lamar are like like they have a great

194
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 5: deal of respect for each other. And Lamar talked about

195
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 5: that this week too, and I think that that's like

196
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 5: that speaks I think to the type of guy that

197
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: Joe is, and part of the reason that there's this

198
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: good the feelings towards him are still so positive.

199
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 6: I think, Yeah, I agree.

200
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: I think you know, anytime there's a break like that

201
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: from the long time face of the franchise, it can

202
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: be tricky. It's like, you know, I compare this to

203
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: probably your dating life, Garrett, like you probably always would

204
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: say that the breakup was mutual, when in reality you

205
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: were getting jumped left and right by the girl.

206
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 6: So, like, you know, I think in this case, it

207
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 6: truly was mutual.

208
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: And I think you know, Joe knew, especially after they

209
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: drafted Lamar in the first round. You know, he saw

210
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: the writing on the wall. I mean, we we had

211
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 3: conversations about it. He knew that at some point they

212
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: were going to turn to Lamar and his time in

213
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore was going to be done.

214
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 6: And that's just the nature of the beast.

215
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: And so you know, I think he handled it professionally,

216
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: like you said, and and it truly was kind of

217
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: a mutual separation.

218
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 6: In this case.

219
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: And so you know, he he went to a place

220
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: in Denver that he thought he would be able to

221
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 3: have some success and and the Ravens, you know, traded

222
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: him there and thinking it would be a good.

223
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 6: Good match for both parties.

224
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: And you know, Joe, four or five teams later, you know,

225
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 3: is on the Cleveland Browns of all of all places

226
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: and doing well. So you know, it's amazing to me

227
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 3: that Joe's still playing. To be completely honest, He's forty

228
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: years old and still throws it as well as I've

229
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: ever seen him. And you know, I don't know if

230
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: he's running around quite as much as he used to,

231
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: not that he was ever a runner by any means,

232
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: but man, he can still spin it, so it's fun

233
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: to watch.

234
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask you that, are you

235
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 1: surprised that he's still playing this long? Like I thought

236
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: when he went to Denver and you know, it didn't

237
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: really work out great in Denver. I honestly remember saying

238
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: to Garrett, probably once, Joe's not a starter. I think

239
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: that he probably just hangs it up. Like, I don't

240
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: know that Joe's going to like hang around and be

241
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: a backup. You know, guy's got five kids, Like he

242
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: wants to be with his family. But but maybe the

243
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: five kids are the reason why he's still playing. I've

244
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: also like had that idea, like, so, are you surprised

245
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: that he's still, yeah, hanging around at forty years old?

246
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: I mean part of me's surprised, Yeah, because I know

247
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: Joe's a prideful person and he always believes he's, you know,

248
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: the best quarterback in whatever room he's in, and which

249
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 3: is a good thing which has served him well throughout

250
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 3: his career and I think I think you have to

251
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: be that way to play that position.

252
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 6: So I think I never.

253
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: Envisioned him, you know, going a long stretch kind of

254
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 3: as a backup and bounce around teams and that kind

255
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 3: of stuff. But man, tis credit. He has always said like,

256
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 3: I'm going to play as long as I can, and

257
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 3: I don't.

258
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 6: Know that I ever believed him.

259
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: But shooting, he's forty years old now and he's still going.

260
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, having five kids at home

261
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 3: might be a little bit of motivation to keep playing.

262
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 6: But here's the thing too, that you forget, like.

263
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 3: Joe's kids are now, he's got a thirteen year old,

264
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: a twelve or eleven year old, ten year old. I mean,

265
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: he's got you know, pretty much eddy every age at

266
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: this point. But he's got a bunch of boys that

267
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 3: love football. And there's nothing cooler than being able to

268
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 3: play in the NFL and have your boys come and

269
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: watch you and cheer you on and be.

270
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 6: A part of that experience.

271
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: And man, my son was four years old when I

272
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: retired in Baltimore, and if you know, if I could

273
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 3: still be playing now when he's twelve and he's playing

274
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: football himself, I mean that would just be the coolest

275
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: thing ever, in my opinion, And so I think there's

276
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: some kind of motivation there for him to like be

277
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: able to have his sons have this experience of him

278
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 3: playing in the NFL and be able to remember it.

279
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: Because my son he vaguely remembers kind of coming to

280
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 3: the games when he was four, but he doesn't really

281
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 3: really know what it was like. And so he knows

282
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 3: now that I've been retired going to the games, and

283
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: I don't think my son knows how good he has it,

284
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: because when we go back to games, you know, I've

285
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: been the legend of the game at times.

286
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 6: We've been staying in the in the.

287
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: Tunnel next to Lamar and Odell Beckham and all these

288
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 3: crazy dudes. He's standing right next to him, like getting

289
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 3: ready to run out of the tunnel behind him, and

290
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, he thinks that's normal.

291
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 6: Life at this point.

292
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: But how cool would it be if I was suited

293
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: up being able to still play and he was a

294
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 3: part of that.

295
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 6: And I think I think that's some motivation.

296
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 3: For Joe too, because you know that as a father,

297
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: you want to be the hero for your kids and

298
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 3: you want them to look up to you, and I

299
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: think you know that that's probably some level of motivation

300
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 3: for him as well.

301
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: What's funny.

302
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 5: CBS did that piece with Joe and his family this

303
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 5: offseason going into the year with the Deity, and I

304
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: cracked up at Joe's kids trash talking him. I forget

305
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 5: his oldest son's name, but he was like, my dad stinks.

306
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: Oh and that's and that's one of the best parts

307
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: of it because yeah, I saw that video too, and

308
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: I was laughing because his son, Daniel, he's actually the

309
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 3: second youngest, and you know, they just they just kind

310
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 3: of beat up on Joe left and right. But that's

311
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 3: what's so cool about it. It's like, yeah, my dad's

312
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 3: a backup. He stinks and he gets home. Why did

313
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: you throw that interception? Why did you do this? Why

314
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 3: did you do that? You know, deep downis side they

315
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: you know, they have a ton of admiration for him,

316
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 3: and you know, are so impressed by what he does.

317
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: But like, man, there's nothing better than just having your

318
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 3: kids bust on you for a couple of mistakes on

319
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: the field.

320
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 6: And that that was funny. I enjoyed that one.

321
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I think his kids they put on

322
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: a good show, but they love being out there and

323
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 3: watching him play.

324
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: What do you think Joe's emotions are like going into

325
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: this game.

326
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good question. I think you know, Joe's

327
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: never going to say, man, this is this is pretty cool,

328
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: this is big, this is whatever. He'll never admit that,

329
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: whether he believes it or not. And I think he

330
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 3: believes it.

331
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 6: I think he knows it's gonna be It's gonna be

332
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 6: a great.

333
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: Environment to come back to Baltimore, to have the opportunity

334
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: to play in M and T Banks Stadium in front

335
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: of our home fans, I'll be in a different jersey.

336
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 6: I think this is gonna be a special game for him.

337
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't expect the Browns to amount

338
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: to much when it comes to this matchup, to be

339
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: completely honest, I think this is gonna be a tough

340
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: matchup for them. But man, I think I think it's

341
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: gonna be a special day and he'll never admit that.

342
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 3: I'll admit it for him, but I think he's looking

343
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 3: forward to it.

344
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 5: And for you, just knowing that you're gonna be watching

345
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 5: the game, is it at all kind of a weird

346
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 5: feeling for you? Like this is a guy that you

347
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 5: caught touchdown passes from, you won a Super Bowl with,

348
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 5: and now you're watching him in a Browns uniform, which

349
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: is gonna be weird to see in person. Of course

350
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: I've seen it on TV, but it's gonna be weird

351
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: to see him taking the field at Mt.

352
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 4: Bay Stadium in a Browns uniform. Like what are are?

353
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: Are?

354
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 4: Are there any emotions or thoughts that you have about

355
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: seeing the thing playout on Sunday?

356
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always weird for me when I'm watching Joe

357
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: on Sundays. And then you know, I talked to him

358
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: during the week and we're kind of breaking down what

359
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: happened in the game or just talking about whatever, and

360
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: and I'm like, dude, I cannot believe you're still playing, because,

361
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: like I said earlier, it feels like a lifetime ago

362
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 3: that I was taking the field playing with him on Sundays,

363
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: and so man, those times were special and it was

364
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: so much fun. But you know, I can't even remember

365
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 3: what it was like to take a hit or be

366
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 3: out there and run around and do all that kind

367
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: of stuff, and he's still doing it. And my wife

368
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: and I were just talking the other day as we

369
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: were watching the Ravens play on Sunday night, and we

370
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: were thinking, Man, how many of these guys did I

371
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: play with? And Ronnie Stanley I think was the only

372
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 3: one that you know, I think in my last year,

373
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: what year was Ronnie drafted?

374
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 4: He was he was drafted in sixteen. Was your last

375
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: year sixteen or seventeen?

376
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: My last year was sixteen, So maybe I was only

377
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: with Ronnie for like an off season before I got hurt,

378
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: But I do remember being with Ronnie for just a

379
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: little bit, and then I think he's the last standing

380
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 3: Raven now that our old kicker departed this last offseason

381
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 3: that I played with, which is crazy, and so it

382
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: just speaks to how old and how long I've been retired.

383
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: But man, it's you know, the team's totally different, but

384
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 3: it's crazy. You know, there's just some guys that I

385
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 3: still play at you know, you think about Kyle Yuschek

386
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: in the forty nine ers, who I played with for

387
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: four years, and and Morgan Cox in in Tennessee still

388
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: long snapping. We came in together as rookies and uh

389
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: and obviously Joe still still going at it. So there's

390
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 3: there's still a handful of guys that I played with.

391
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 6: Around the league, but you know, not many.

392
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: So it's it's it's fun to watch them, but also

393
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: takes me back to those days and a lot of

394
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 3: motions come up and it's gonna be you know, one

395
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 3: where I I watched Joe out there and thinking, man,

396
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: you know, I wish I could I could take the

397
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 3: field one more time and be able to play with

398
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 3: those guys out there.

399
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: I think that there's like, uh, I think there's a

400
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: thirty percent chance that you could still catch a touchdown

401
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: from Joe.

402
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: What do you think?

403
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 3: Oh, I could definitely still catch a touchdown? Could I

404
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 3: could I? Could I take a hit? Probably not? Could

405
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: I uh? Could I last more than one play? Probably not?

406
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 6: Could I block anybody? Definitely not.

407
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I could get you throw me one up,

408
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go catch it, that's for sure.

409
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: Can you tell me the story of the night that

410
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: that Lamar Jackson was drafted and the scene in the

411
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: basement I believe of Joe Flacco's house.

412
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 2: You were in there with some.

413
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: Pals I think, and Joe and uh, yeah, tell me

414
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: tell me that story.

415
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, So, so we were sitting around, we were at

416
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: Joe's house, we weren't in the basement. We were just

417
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: sitting in the living room and our you know, our

418
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: kids were running around playing, our wives were probably in

419
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 3: the kitchen talking. Joe and I were sitting there on

420
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 3: the couch watching the first round of the draft, which

421
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 3: would have been what Thursday night.

422
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: And.

423
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 3: The Ravens drafted our tight end friend I'm totally forgetting,

424
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 3: all right, they draft Hayden Hurst and kind of we

425
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: and we knew going into this draft, like there was

426
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 3: some rumors that the Ravens might take a quarterback and

427
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: we didn't know how high.

428
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 6: We didn't know what the case was going to be.

429
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 3: But you know, the last couple of seasons hadn't been

430
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: the way that we wanted them to be in Baltimore.

431
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 3: And I had since been retired at this point, but

432
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 3: you know, we weren't consistently making the playoffs the last

433
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 3: couple of years.

434
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 6: That we had been accustomed to doing, and so.

435
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: Joe wasn't getting any younger, and you know, who would

436
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: have thought he's still here playing now. But at the time,

437
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 3: you know, they we just knew that there was a

438
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: decent chance they were going to take a quarterback, and

439
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 3: they draft Hayden Hurst in the first round, and I

440
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 3: think we both look at each other and like, well,

441
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: doesn't look like they're going to take a quarterback. And yeah,

442
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 3: sure they might have taken one in later rounds, but

443
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: but there's a difference when you take a first round

444
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: quarterback versus yeah, you know, a second, third, fourth, you

445
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 3: know later in the draft opiction.

446
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 6: Sure, you guys know.

447
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: So we didn't talk a lot about it, but we

448
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 3: were just like, ah, it doesn't look like they're taking

449
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 3: a quarterback. And I'm sure there was a little bit

450
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: of relief on Joe's Joe's side, just you know, by

451
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 3: the nature of the beast in this business. And we're

452
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 3: not totally paying attention to the draft. We're kind of talking,

453
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 3: doing other things whatever, messing around with our kids, and

454
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, you see something flash across

455
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 3: the screen that the Ravens traded back in to the

456
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 3: first round with a thirty second pick. And we won't

457
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: look at each other like uh oh, because at that.

458
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 6: Point, you know they're coming up for one reason.

459
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: It's not for a left tackle, it's not for a corner,

460
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: it's not they're coming back into the first round to

461
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: take a quarterback, and sure enough, the pick goes in

462
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson gets taken, and Joe looks at me and

463
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: he just starts laughing, and we've both started just like

464
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: dying laughing. For whatever reason, that was kind of our reaction.

465
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't know why we were laughing.

466
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 3: I think you know, at that point, shoot, they draft

467
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, and Joe knew what that meant, you know,

468
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 3: and he didn't know how many seasons he would have

469
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: left in Baltimore. He probably thought he at least had

470
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 3: one more full season, maybe another, depending on Lamar's development

471
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: and all that. But man, he just started laughing because

472
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: because you know what that means. And you know, Joe

473
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 3: never takes anything too serious, I think, which is a

474
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 3: redeeming quality for him as a quarterback. And you guys know,

475
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: whether he throws a pick and or throws a touchdown,

476
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 3: he goes and sits in the same spot on the

477
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 3: bench and has kind of the same stoke look on

478
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 3: his face, and he can never really read what he's

479
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 3: what he's thinking, or what he's doing, and so you know,

480
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: for him to just kind of laugh at that moment

481
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 3: just speaks to you.

482
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 6: Know, he understands the business.

483
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: He understands how it goes, and he never takes it,

484
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 3: you know, too seriously.

485
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 6: But you know, I think.

486
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 3: It was just an interesting time because he knew that

487
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: the changing the guard was kind of upon him. And

488
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 3: uh and and like we said earlier, I think he

489
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: handled it with a ton of glass. He handled it

490
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 3: the right way. And a lot of quarterbacks could have

491
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: gone in the next day and and you know, demanded

492
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 3: a trade or done something crazy and you know, pounded

493
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 3: their fists on the table and said, why are we

494
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 3: taking a quarterback?

495
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 6: We need you know, this or this or this.

496
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 3: Joe was never that way. He understood, you know, his

497
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: place and his role. And he did so many incredible

498
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 3: things for Baltimore and and brought them a championship and

499
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. And he'll always be, you know,

500
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 3: a massive star and legend in Baltimore. And I think

501
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: what makes it that much better is that he was

502
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: able to kind of walk away at the right time

503
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: for Baltimore for them to be able to take the

504
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: next step, and you know, he was able to continue

505
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 3: his career and he's still going. So yeah, I mean

506
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 3: that was kind of that night, and it was just

507
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: it was a it was a wild draft night, but

508
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 3: you know, Joe.

509
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 6: Handled it well.

510
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I think too. You know, he laughed in

511
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 2: that moment.

512
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: But I remember sitting him down with him in that

513
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: training camp, you know, leading up to that season, the

514
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen season, and you know, he's he's a competitive

515
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: dude too, Like, don't get twisted about Joe because he's

516
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: so like chill and nonchalant and all that, like, and

517
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: that's part of why he's playing at forty two, is like,

518
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: this is a competitive guy and he wanted to show like, hey,

519
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold off Lamar Jackson for as long as

520
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: I possibly can, you know, and uh, if it weren't

521
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: for the hip injury, he might have he would have

522
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: probably for longer.

523
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: You know.

524
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy how things worked out. But I

525
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: think that that like competitive side of Joe, even that

526
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: came out during that like twenty eighteen season, is part

527
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: of the reason why he's still playing at forty years old.

528
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I agree, And let's not talk about

529
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: hip injuries. It's just it's still too soon, Okay. Funny

530
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: that it's funny that, you know, hip injuries ended my

531
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 3: career in Baltimore and a hip injury potentially ended Joe's

532
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 3: career in Baltimore.

533
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: That is kind of you too, very different, very different

534
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: than connected.

535
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 6: Literally quite literally.

536
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will venture to say my hip injuries were

537
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: worse than Joe's.

538
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 6: Yes, I think that's accurate. I think that's accurate.

539
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: So what are you up to?

540
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 6: You? Man?

541
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: You're you're still a fan favorite favorite of ours. How's

542
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: life treating you, Dennis?

543
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: Oh, It's been great. I can't complain. And I live

544
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: in southern California. We're in San Clementy, California, and man,

545
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 3: I am like a full time Pop Warner football coach,

546
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 3: high school football coach. It's a lot. My afternoons are

547
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 3: slammed right now this fall, and I go from one

548
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 3: practice to the next, and I'm as busy as I've

549
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: ever been and not getting paid for any of it, unfortunately.

550
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 3: So it's so much fun though, I being able to

551
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: coach my son. This is his first year of tackle football.

552
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 3: He's twelve years old.

553
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 6: Now is he playing tight end? He does not play

554
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 6: tight end. He plays quarterback.

555
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, you know when.

556
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: You're young, I told him, when you're young, when you're

557
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: playing Pop warner. You want to be the quarterback because

558
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: the balls in your hands every play. When you play

559
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 3: tight end, you're just basically a glorified blocker at this level.

560
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: So you don't want to be a tight end. Even

561
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 3: in high school, you don't want to tight end. You

562
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: want to be a receiver. You don't want to be

563
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 3: stuck on the line. And so, yeah, he plays quarterback.

564
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 3: It's it's so much fun. I'm I'm the offensive coordinator

565
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: for his team, and so, you know, the coordinator quarterback

566
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 3: relationship is important. He pushes back a lot with my coaching.

567
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: He doesn't he doesn't think I know what I'm talking about,

568
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 3: which you know, at times I do. At times I

569
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 3: feel like I'm overqualified for this position. But it's it's

570
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 3: so much fun and watching him run around and play

571
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: and man, his first experience with tackle. It's it's cool

572
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 3: because he's been dying to play tackle for several years

573
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 3: now and I've been holding them off, like, dude, you

574
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 3: got time.

575
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 6: Just wait.

576
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 3: We've been playing flag football. He also plays a million

577
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 3: other sports, basketball and baseball, and.

578
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 6: Been playing soccer.

579
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to get him to do to do

580
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 3: everything but football, just you know, being around it so

581
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: much with me and my career. He's always wanted to

582
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: play tackle, and so I finally let him this year.

583
00:25:59,520 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 6: I think.

584
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 3: I think when I was young, when I was twelve,

585
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: sixth grade is when I started playing, and so I said,

586
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 3: when you get to that age, you can play too.

587
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: But he was, he was excited to play. He's number

588
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: eight in honor of Lamar Jackson, and you know, he's

589
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 3: he is running around there, not quite to the extent

590
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: that Lamar Jackson is able to do, but he likes

591
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 3: to run around and pretend he's Lamar.

592
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 6: So it's it's so much fun and I'm enjoying it.

593
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

594
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 5: Well, well, maybe the goal here is maybe if he

595
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 5: becomes a tight end at some point, the goal is

596
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 5: for Flacco to play long enough so that he can

597
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 5: catch passes.

598
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: He can throw passes to another pit in the NFL.

599
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 5: He's got fifty year old Flacco out there, fifty five

600
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 5: years old throwing passes to your son.

601
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: That's that's the new goal that we haven't plays here.

602
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, that that's a lofty goal. You know. It's like

603
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 6: it's like the lebron and Bronnie.

604
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 3: James thing exactly, except I'm not playing, so I got

605
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: to get my son to play with some old TV. Yeah,

606
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: it feels like a sad version of that, but yeah,

607
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 3: I guess that's something to aspire to. I mean, if

608
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: Joe's still playing, my son's got a lot of years loud.

609
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 3: He's probably got ten more years till he But Joe's

610
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: going to be fifty seven records.

611
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 6: I don't know if.

612
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if that one's going to come to fruition,

613
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 3: but certainly something to aspire to.

614
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

615
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: Man, well, look, it's it's great to chat you.

616
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,879

623
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 3: But you are a favorite, real guess you've had a

624
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 3: real guests over the last eight years to keep this

625
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:48,320

642
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 6: Again.

643
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 5: This game on Sunday is our celebration of our thirtieth

644
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 5: season uh here in Baltimore. So there's a lot of

645
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 5: festivities that are planned for that, including Ozzie Newsom, of course,

646
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 5: a longtime general manager who drafted both Joe Flacco and

647
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson. Ye along with Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden, and

648
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 5: Ozzie's going to be the legend of the game and

649
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 5: be introduced alongside ray Lewis and Jonathan in the first

650
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 5: two picks in franchise history, So that should be a

651
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: great moment. A lot of really fun stuff planned for

652
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 5: the games, So make sure you're in the stadium, in

653
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 5: the stadium early and give the team a great home

654
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 5: field of Vandis because they're gonna be fired up and

655
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 5: this is an important game for the Ravens to get

656
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: back on track after a disappointing loss on Sunday. So

657
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: just big picture wise, as you look at this game,

658
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 5: what do you think stands out as what the Ravens

659
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 5: in terms of what the Raves need to do to

660
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 5: get a win.

661
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the defense obviously needs to have a

662
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: rebound performance coming off of that that brutal fourth quarter

663
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. I expect that that they will. You know,

664
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: I think that as we just got done talking about,

665
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco can sling the ball, and he has some

666
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: good weapons, you know, Jerry Judy, David Njoku, the tight end,

667
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: you know, and so it's by no means a slouch

668
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: of an opponent. Like I think that they have enough

669
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: weapons to give you problems. You know, their running game,

670
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: their rookie running back quin Quinn Sewn Judkins is still

671
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: not on the field right, But like Dylan Samson was

672
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: a really good receiver out of the backfield. Like they

673
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: might come in here and Joe might throw the ball

674
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: fifty times. Wouldn't surprise me. I think last time, last

675
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: time the Ravens face Strove Flaco up in New York,

676
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: he threw it fifty nine, I think, right, And so

677
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me if they just try to air

678
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: it out against the Ravens, especially coming off that fourth

679
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: quarter where that's what Josh Allen did.

680
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: Well in the opener.

681
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: He was thirty one of forty five, two and ninety

682
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 5: passing yards, a touchdown, two interceptions, or pointing out that

683
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 5: both those interceptions bounced off for his receiver's hands.

684
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 4: He was good in the opener. You know, I watched

685
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 4: that game. He looks good. He moved the ball.

686
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 5: Probably should have won that game if those interceptions, you know,

687
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: don't get picked off and the receivers hold onto the

688
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: ball there. So again, he threw the ball forty five

689
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 5: times in their opener.

690
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:47,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is what Joe does.

691
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 5: I would be surprised by that to a degree, like

692
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 5: it would be I would. I just think that like schematically,

693
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 5: the Browns, like they they do want to be a

694
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 5: team that like establishes the run and gets the play

695
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 5: act working like that is when they're at their best.

696
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: And so they don't have their their best running back

697
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: on they.

698
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: Don't they don't have him.

699
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 5: They have their own forward, you know, who's been a

700
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 5: thousand yard rusher a couple of years ago. So like

701
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 5: they you know, there's missing Judkins, who was the second

702
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 5: round pick. But I still just think that like Kevin

703
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 5: Stefanski wants, he wants to be able to run the football.

704
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: He wants to, but I don't think they're going to

705
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: find a whole lot of success on the ground against

706
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: this Ravens defense. And it would not surprise me if

707
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: then they they just they just pivot.

708
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: And they just pivot.

709
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 5: Well, guy, the guy that you know, I would definitely

710
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 5: think that is certainly the Ravens in the past. And

711
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 5: I think that you got to have a close eye

712
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 5: on him is David Nijoku said tight end.

713
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: He's been he's been a problem.

714
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 4: He's been a problem.

715
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 5: And as we know, uh as evidenced by the guy

716
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: we just talked to, Flacco loves stones to the tight end.

717
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: And so I think that Nijoku is going to be

718
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 5: a player to watch.

719
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: Well, they have a rookie tight end, Harold fannin junior

720
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: who led them in targets last week.

721
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was like, oh okay, fact Flacco has the

722
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 5: guy that he's likes to throw to and like it was,

723
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 5: it was he got a lot of action, so he

724
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 5: could be someone as well.

725
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: Yep, yep.

726
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 1: Now, if the Browns do go pass heavy offensively over

727
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: the course of this game, this is a game where

728
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens pass rush needs to get cranked up. No

729
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: if stands or butts about it. This is not Josh

730
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: Allen back there, not nearly the mobility question. You know,

731
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: rush lanes were of incredible importance against the Bills. The

732
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: Ravens had too many letdowns in that department and letting

733
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: him get out. You're not really worried about Joe Flacco

734
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: taking off and running at forty years old, and so

735
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: this I think the Browns offensive line, you know, there's

736
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: has some question marks there. So this is a game

737
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 1: where I think the Ravens pass rush needs see it

738
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: get going.

739
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 4: I think so too.

740
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: I mean, look like Josh Allen is one of the

741
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 5: most mobile and elusive players in the NFL. Getting out

742
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 5: of out of the backfield and extending plays, and he's

743
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 5: pretty unique.

744
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: Like ridiculous how many times he was like in the

745
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: middle of a crowd last Sunday and you and I

746
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: were like, get down and it.

747
00:32:58,640 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 2: Just pops out.

748
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 5: Him and Lamar are probably the top two right in

749
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: that category. Mahomes is really good at it too, But

750
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 5: like those guys are at the top of the list,

751
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 5: and flac goes not at the top of the list,

752
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 5: And so I think that like this is an opportunity

753
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 5: for the past rush to get to him now. I

754
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 5: also think, as has been a talking point in discussion

755
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 5: over the course of this week, as past rush integrity,

756
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: sticking to your pass rush lanes, kind of sticking to

757
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: your assignment on those and so I think that that's

758
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 5: going to be part of the conversation for these pass rushers.

759
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: But but it's a different assignment that it is a

760
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: different That was the game plan going into Buffalo, and

761
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: it was you know, executed to varying degrees. That's just

762
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: a different it's a different, different assignment in this game.

763
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: And so I think it was a Dafoe who I

764
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: was talking to this week and he put it as

765
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, the pass rushers can be a little more greedy, right.

766
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 4: I think that's a fair way of looking at it.

767
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 5: And you know, they they they are going to have

768
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 5: They're going to be counted on, and I do think

769
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 5: that this is a chance that they could they can

770
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 5: make an impact, a big impact in this game. So yeah,

771
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 5: Oway is a guy that comes to mind as as

772
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 5: the potential of having a nice game and be curious

773
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 5: to see if Mike Green gets any increase and snaps

774
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 5: from what he saw from week one till we two.

775
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

776
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 5: The other thing I'll point out too, just in terms

777
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 5: of the secondary, I'm sure the secondary has seen the

778
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 5: comments from Jerry Judy this week, who was asked about

779
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 5: The question to him was what kind of challenge does

780
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 5: the Ravens secondary pose? And he said, no challenge, And

781
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 5: so I'm sure that quote has made its way into

782
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 5: the Ravens locker room and to that secondary. But beyond

783
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 5: what Jerry Judy says, the secondary is focused on cleaning

784
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 5: up the mistakes that they had against Buffalo, and Marlon

785
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 5: Humphrey was you know, pretty critical and pretty blunt and

786
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 5: honest in his time with the media this week and

787
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 5: talking about how the Ravens need to be a more

788
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 5: mature team was the phrasing that he said, and they

789
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 5: and basically, if you're not playing well, you're not gonna

790
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 5: be playing for long.

791
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: And that was the message that Zach Orr and John

792
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 1: hart Well delivered to them, was, you know, last year,

793
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: it took till mid season to get this thing corrected.

794
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: It ain't gonna be till the middle of the year

795
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: this season to get it corrected. There's gonna be changes

796
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: made faster than that. So if you're not playing well

797
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: and doing the right things, and you know, Marlon was

798
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: pretty explicit in saying, like we were in the right

799
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: calls for a lot of those those big Bills plays,

800
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: we just didn't play them well. And so if if

801
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: you're not executing the call, you're going to be executing

802
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: it on the bench.

803
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 5: And so I think that was seemed like a pretty

804
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 5: blunt and honest message in conversation amongst the team. And

805
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 5: you know, Kyle van Noy also said the team defense

806
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 5: of the defense went out to a team dinner, which

807
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 5: you know was on the books, but they you know,

808
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 5: they had an opportunity to get together and hash some

809
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 5: things out. So I think that all though, like when

810
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 5: the question I think that a lot of people have

811
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 5: is what's being done to ensure what happened in Buffalo

812
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 5: doesn't happen again. Well, here's some of your answers. Like

813
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 5: they they are addressing the issues head on. The coaches

814
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 5: are saying to the players that if this continues, then

815
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 5: we're gonna find We're gonna make changes, personnel changes, and

816
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 5: the players are responding well to all of that.

817
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: So of course there's more detailed corrections that are made

818
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: watching film.

819
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 5: But yeah, these are some of the more like the

820
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 5: themes yes, that we're hearing from team leaders in van

821
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,360
Speaker 5: Ney and Marlon Humphrey. So, uh, that's your answer on

822
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 5: some of those things. And I do think, like you know,

823
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 5: this is I think that last year's the way last

824
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 5: season started, where you lose a tough one in the

825
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 5: opener to the Chiefs and you come home and it's

826
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: a game everyone's picking you to win and then you

827
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 5: lose it to the Raiders.

828
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 2: Last year.

829
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 5: I think that memory for the players who are here

830
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 5: again this year, which is the majority of the team, uh,

831
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 5: I think that's going to serve as a reminder just

832
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 5: in terms of everything they've done over the course of

833
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 5: this week that they can't have a letdown at home.

834
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 5: It's like they'd happened last year, yep, so they know

835
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 5: they can't happen again this year.

836
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah.

837
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: I think I think the two scenarios are a little

838
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: bit different. You know, that Chiefs game was like more

839
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: disappointing because last year's season opener, you know, you you

840
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: rallied back. It wasn't like the Ravens dominated that game.

841
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 1: They almost pulled off this like comeback win and literally

842
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: you know, a toenail away from it, and so it

843
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: was like really disappointing. The mood was different coming out

844
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: of that game. This is you're ticked. Yeah, the Ravens

845
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: are ticked that they dropped that game in Buffalo's. Like,

846
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what Dennis Pitta was speaking about,

847
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: you know, when he was saying, I I don't know

848
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: that the Browns. I don't I don't know that the

849
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: Browns are gonna muster a whole lot in this game.

850
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: What I read into that was like you come back

851
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: and you face a peed off team, you know, at

852
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: home in their home opener. Coming off that, like, yeah,

853
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 1: I hope it is right. Yeah, I hope so too.

854
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: And I think that this is a very highly motivated,

855
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: angry team. I don't I don't think this is like

856
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 1: a oh Man kind of vibes this week.

857
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's fair. And then you know, offensively,

858
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 5: like the challenge here is that the Browns have a

859
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 5: really good defense. They've got maybe the best defensive player

860
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 5: in football and Miles Garrett.

861
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 4: They'd like it exactly.

862
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: It's a very it's a very aggressive defense, and so

863
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: like if you're not on your game in being able

864
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: to counter punch that, you're gonna have a long day.

865
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: And they're gonna bring Jim Schwartz is gonna bring the heat.

866
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna blitz at a high rate. They're gonna be aggressive,

867
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: and like the Ravens have had very good games going

868
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: against that, and like they've had some slogs where like

869
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: they just had trouble beating the blitz and so you

870
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: you gotta you have to play at a high level.

871
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: Like John Harball said, like they are a suffocating defense.

872
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: They try to suffocate you. You know, right when the

873
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: ball is snapped behind the line of scrimmage, it is

874
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 1: they're coming downhill, attacking aggressive, and sometimes that can hurt

875
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: you being too overly aggressive as a defense. But that's

876
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,560
Speaker 1: the way they're gonna play, and so like you got

877
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:50,759
Speaker 1: to be able to counter punch that.

878
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: Well.

879
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 5: Last year, again we talked about reminders. The Browns beat

880
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 5: the Ravens last year. Now, that was a game when

881
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 5: you talk about the defense, like the Ravens had like

882
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 5: five dropped in erceptions in that game, and that was

883
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 5: really the difference. But by no means was that like

884
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 5: an offensive explosion for the Ravens in that game. And

885
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 5: you talk about that good that that attacking Jim Schwartz

886
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 5: style of a defense. And so they they know these

887
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 5: things like those things are a reminder that as they

888
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 5: get ready for this game. And Miles Garrett is somebody

889
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 5: who is again he's one of the best in the business.

890
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a game wrecker. Like I think think

891
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: back to Week two last year, look at Max Crosby.

892
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 4: Max Crosby won them that game. Well, Vonta Adams.

893
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Exactly won the Raiders the game. He was reckoned shop

894
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: up front. So like, you can't let Miles Garrett do

895
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: that this year.

896
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 5: And I think in a lot of situations, the Ravens

897
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 5: have had good plans for Miles Garrett. You know, they

898
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: see him a lot more than Maxcrosby, but I think

899
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 5: that there's been like plenty of games where like they've

900
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 5: kept him at bay.

901
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: But like if if.

902
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 5: You're not doing it well, then you're right. I mean stripsacks,

903
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 5: huge plays like he can completely change a game. Yes,

904
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 5: he did it last week against Cincinnati. I mean he

905
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 5: was a force in that game against Cincinnati, And everyone

906
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 5: was talking about how the Bengals might have the best

907
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 5: offense in football if they put all the resources into

908
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 5: offense and they have Joe Burrow and these great receivers,

909
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: they struggled to move the ball.

910
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 4: They put up seventeen points.

911
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: They put up they had seven yards of total offense

912
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,799
Speaker 1: in the second half, seven.

913
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 4: And Miles Garrett was a huge piece of that. They

914
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:17,720
Speaker 4: also have a good secondary.

915
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 5: Denzel Ward's a really good player in the secondary, good

916
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 5: corner so I could see him matched up, you know,

917
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 5: against day Flowers for a good portion of the game.

918
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 5: So like it's not an easy defense to move the

919
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 5: ball against. And I think that like that's basically that's

920
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 5: what the Ravens need to avoid.

921
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 4: I think is getting.

922
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 5: Into a situation where it just becomes the slog and

923
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 5: it's like and then and then Miles Garrett can tee

924
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 5: off and if Joe hits big plays on the offensive

925
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 5: side of the ball, Like, those are the things that

926
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 5: can't happen for this team, and I don't think they will,

927
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 5: but like those that's the scenario that the Ravens need

928
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 5: to avoid.

929
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

930
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 1: I mean, this is an AFC North game, Like as

931
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: much as the Browns have generally speaking struggled over the years,

932
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: they always play the Ravens tough. It's just one of

933
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: those games and rarely has it turned into like this,

934
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: like Ravens are runaway for a moment, all this.

935
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: Stuff, like it is a slugfest.

936
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you hope, you hope, Like the Ravens are

937
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: blowing out the Bills before they came charging back and

938
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:22,440

939
