Speaker 1: It's a it's a it is a big episode of Marlin,

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: and so we were thinking maybe if you want to,

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: since this one's on video, you could double this and

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: use it first to do a forty four. You know,

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: I know that we're the big time guests that you've

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: been waiting the book, so we'll just kind of collaboration, right,

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: So we're kind of waiting for our invitation though for

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: the actual to you did that get lost in the

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: mail or what happened to that? You know, I'm still

12
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: getting backed up from COVID and different things. COVID you

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: know where it's in the past, but it's kind of

14
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: you know, still some effects. So gotcha. That's kind of

15
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: where mail and it's backed up. It's probably on a

16
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: ship out in the ocean, wait and waiting to get

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: shipped out. Okay, all right, we'll wait. We'll keep waiting waiting.

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: We will. Sorry, man, how's um just let's start there, Like,

19
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: what do you think of the media, the media side.

20
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: You've been doing Studio forty four. This this throughout the

21
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: off season. UM, I know you're still working on it

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: in season, but what if you thought of the media

23
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: side of things. It's been good. It's been um, it's

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: been new. UM. I think it's you know, I've done

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: a lot of interviews in my life, but until recently,

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: it's been the first time I've been interviewing people. So

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been really unique. It's been really

28
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: cool to hear some of the stories I've heard from

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: different guys. And it's also been Uh, it's challenging to

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: get guests, even when to our world. Yeah, yeah, even

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: on your own team, so that's tough. Um. I got

32
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: a lot of friends I keep telling they got to

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: come to a game. It's I can come by get

34
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: on the show. So there's a lot of people I

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: really want to get. Um. But yeah, it's been a

36
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: it's been new, but it's been a it's been really exciting.

37
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: All right, best and worst guests so far. I can't

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: wait for the worst. That's really why I'm you know,

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: I have a worst which I just don't want to say. Okay,

40
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I thought you would be eager to throw them under

41
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the bus. I would, but I can't, but the best

42
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: would by far I have to be. But oh yeah,

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: I just really like I wish we could have got

44
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: some stuff that we said before we got on the cameras,

45
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, we might need to do somewhere, just

46
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: get going from the beginning. But UM just like in

47
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: a way he like humbled me from the aspect when

48
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: he was like, I would love to go into business

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: with a guy like you that can't give one hundred

50
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: percent dedication to the craft. And I was just like

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: it just like really clicked because I'm like, anyone that's

52
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: really dedicated to their craft would put all their time

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: into it. But a guy like me and any other

54
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: athlete that's trying to do another if they're trying to

55
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: do something else, there's only so much time you can

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: but you have to put your faith into someone else

57
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: basically to fully do it. So I was just in

58
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: They're like, well, let me check not running a business

59
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: while I'm playing off the box. There after he said that,

60
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: so and some other good stuff he said. I just

61
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: but that was to me, that was really cool. I'm

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: sitting here in front of you know, our team owner, UM,

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: who obviously could be doing anything gave me about thirty

64
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: minutes of his time. So that was really cool. Now,

65
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: you say you're not going to open a business, but

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: I think your barbershop business might be about to take off.

67
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: We saw your tweet, uh doing some haircuts there? Um,

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: so what do you think you think? Right? Well, I

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: kind of contradicted myself. I said I wasn't gonna do

70
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 1: a business, but Tuesdays might be my day. Man. I

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: walked in the locker room, Ben Mason walked him and

72
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: goes just a guy needed to see. I was like

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: when Big Mason says that, you know, if someone else

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: says that, I'm like, okay, what's up? But when Ben

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: says it, I'm kind of like this would go a

76
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: bad way. So he brings me back there. He's like, bro,

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: I just can't get the back. I need some help

78
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: with the back. I'm like back of what? First off,

79
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, back of what, buddy? I mean we're going,

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: you know. And then he's like the hair So I

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: get the clipper to trying to line him up, and uh,

82
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I gave him and gave him finished him off as

83
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: his haircut. Was he happy with the cut? He was

84
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: happy with it well, but I had to get the

85
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: side too, and I stayed away from the I mean,

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: we're all getting older, but Ben's hairline something that you

87
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: go a little. So I was like, dude, it's a

88
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: little uneven. But I think that's not because of me.

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it's good to you. So it was. It

90
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: was an interesting victory Tuesday. I'll say that. Nice. Nice,

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 1: all right, So let's let's talk little football. You guys

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: start the season with a big win against the Jets. Like,

93
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: how were you You didn't play in the preseason. Um,

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: you got hurt last season, you know, at the end

95
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: of the year on I R like, what were your

96
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: like emotions going into the game. Was there nervousness, anxiousness?

97
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: How did you feel going into it? It was it was, Um,

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: it was kind of weird, you know, without you know,

99
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: not playing the preseason, you know, not playing like last year.

100
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: It was just a little you know, you I felt

101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: like you hadn't done it in so long, you know,

102
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: so it was a little probably anxious, just really ready

103
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: to just start the season. It seemed like it took,

104
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, forever to get here, and then watching preseason

105
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: and getting hype for the guys, but nothing really clicks

106
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: like when you're actually playing. So it was just really exciting.

107
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: Um and I just I mean always great to open

108
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: up with a win. So it was it was really

109
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: just fun exciting. Well, and the way the defense played,

110
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: I have to imagine that's that's pretty fun. Yeah, I

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: mean good. Yeah, getting after Joe Marcus gets a pick

112
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: in his first game first name, I will say, though,

113
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: you went into it going, you know, with anticipating two interceptions.

114
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: That was the goal when your first and I have

115
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: to laugh, it really did crack me up last week

116
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: when you told he wasn't Marcus Peters. He said, I'm

117
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: gonna get two picks in the first game. He goes,

118
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: if we get two picks from you all year, I'll

119
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: be half you Mary. No, no no, no, the first games. Yeah, Marcus.

120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: He humbled me a little there, going maybe that's why

121
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: I didn't get too you know, I was thinking too

122
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: and then he said too for the year, and I'm like, no, no, no,

123
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: I was. I was saying two for the first game.

124
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: He was like, let's just do two for the year,

125
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: all right, whatever, So maybe maybe he kind of jinks

126
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: me on that, you know, maybe the two pick game

127
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: is coming, so right, right now. How do you you

128
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: know you've played You've always kind of moved around, but

129
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: you know you played in the slot some this past

130
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Jets game. Do you feel like, you know, because of

131
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: your physicality right? Like people talk about how you play

132
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: the game like a linebacker. You're a linebacker playing corner.

133
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: The fruit punch. We all know about that. That that

134
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: really kind of suits you. Of course you can play outside,

135
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: but getting near the line of scrimmage that some big

136
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: boys run around in there. But like, do you kind

137
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: of like it because that is a strength of yours? Yeah,

138
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I really do like it. It's it's something I never

139
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: thought I would do. Actually, yeah, I remember when they

140
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: first asked me to do it. I think it was

141
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: either a Bengals or a Steelers game, and I was like,

142
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: I'll I didn't really say no because I wouldn't really

143
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: say no to anything to ask me to do, just

144
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: because I'm just like, you know, do you guys think

145
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: so I'll do it? But I remember thinking to myself like,

146
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't think this is gonna work that well. And

147
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: then just being around the ball so much and being

148
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: able to you know, get there and be aggressive. It

149
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: kind of just you know, I realized to have some

150
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: strengths there. But obviously with different guys go down to

151
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: different things, kind of things have changed to where you

152
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: kind of gotta I can be in there a little

153
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: sometimes to be outside, you know, kind of just move

154
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: all around, other than when I was kind of predominantly

155
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: playing it at all times, when we had Jimmy and

156
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: Marcus and Brandon cart and all those guys. But it's been, uh,

157
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: it's been new, which you know now it's it's so normal.

158
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: But if you'd asked me that three years ago, i'd

159
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: have just been like I would have been the same way,

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: like I just can't see it happening. But it's been

161
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: really cool to play that spot. It's been a new

162
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: view for the game for me. Yeah, does the mentality

163
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: kind of change? Like I feel like when you're playing outside,

164
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: you just kind of have like the on the corner

165
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: mindset and then inside the island on a corner on

166
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: an island mindset, But then when you're inside, you're kind

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: of thinking about everything, like how you're just gonna interact

168
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: with linebackers, You're probably watch more to get picked. I

169
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: don't know how does the mindset change when you're inside well,

170
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: for me, I try to just cause a lot of

171
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: disruption kind of. So I'm I'm really thinking a lot

172
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: more aggressive when I'm in there. Sometimes I'm getting linebacker

173
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: stance and I'm like, I don't know it was about

174
00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: to come, but I gotta be ready at all time.

175
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking a lot more aggressive when I'm inside,

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: just from rerouting and different things, and like I'm just

177
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: trying to hit people, just to hit people for no

178
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: reason sometimes and sometimes I gets me in trouble actually,

179
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: but um so I'm that's really all I'm thinking about.

180
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: It Just how can I disrupt the flow of offense?

181
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: That's kind of my mindset when I'm inside. While there's

182
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: even when you're playing man, how can you disrupt? Because

183
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the slot throws always the easiest throws to make for

184
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback that his closest guy to them. So and

185
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: when I'm outside, I'm like, it's only so aggressive you

186
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: can get here, otherwise it's gonna be pretty bad. Flying

187
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 1: flags are flying and they they will get the flying.

188
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: So it's just a different mindset um when you're playing

189
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: inside outside, And I would say just the level of

190
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, aggressing and kind of speed and as kind

191
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: of would be the biggest difference between inside and outside.

192
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: What goes through your head when you see like a

193
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: big tight end coming to block you, or even if

194
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: it's a pooling guard that's kicking out in a run

195
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: play and you you have to take that guy on

196
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: what's going on in your head? Well, for me, it

197
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: depends on kind of what's going on behind them. If

198
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: it's like out in the field and I'm like, it

199
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: doesn't look like my cavalry is coming, then I'm like,

200
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: let me just try to stay in front of this guy.

201
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: But a lot of times I try to get there

202
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: before they're really ready for me. So I think anytime

203
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Aliman sees me, they're like, oh, I can't wait. So

204
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying to as soon as he sees me, I'm

205
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: trying to be making contact with them just to kind

206
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: of get my edge. And then with tight ends, it

207
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: depends on is if it's nick boiled, then it's gonna

208
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: be a tough one for me. If somebody else you

209
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: know that we're playing, you know a lot of these

210
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: guys are big time pass catchers and and real gonna

211
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 1: do too much blocking themselves, So there's there's a chance

212
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I can win those, but a lot of times the

213
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: extra fifty pounds that are coming at me, usually I

214
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: just try to hold my own and just try to

215
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: just hold my own and hope, hope, my guys are

216
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: coming right now. Now we talk about being on an island.

217
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: Another assignment that you sometimes get is that that one

218
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: on one assignment. You know, you're you're trusted. Hey, this

219
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: is their top guy, you're our top guy. You know

220
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna match you up, right going into a Dolphins

221
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: game where they have really two top guys, right, uh,

222
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,199
Speaker 1: Tyreek especially, you know, do you kind of as a corner,

223
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: do you want to get the one on one assignments?

224
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: How do you how do you kind of look at

225
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: that part of the job. For me, it's it's like

226
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: it's kind of an interesting like concept to me of

227
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: like matching up. I feel like like I don't know,

228
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe what when Rivas was playing maybe like eight years

229
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: ago back in this problem, it was like if you

230
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: those one on one matches essentially like one football games. Now,

231
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: you see like a lot of time when guys do that,

232
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: even if they shut this guy down, the other team

233
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: can still win. So it's kind of something that you

234
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: can do it, but it's kind of to me, it's

235
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of almost like phase out of the game these

236
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: offenses just so they can run through one guy or

237
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: sometimes they'll be like we don't even need to throw

238
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: to him. We can still beat this team by doing this.

239
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: So it's kind of a unique concept. Like I remember

240
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: when last time I, you know, had a really good

241
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: one doing that was against the Browns and I felt

242
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: like I shuttled down down and then when we still

243
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: got killed. So it's like you can do that and

244
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: like make it really about that, but um, it kind

245
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: of just depends, you know, whatever game. So I do

246
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: love those. Those are like great, you know, like as

247
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: a kid, you're like I used just going YouTube type

248
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: in this corner against this guy, this guy, yeah, Reva's tape,

249
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: and like, you know, I love those, Like those are

250
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: always sweet. That's like any corner's dream. But I want

251
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: to win, so like sometimes to me, when they don't

252
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: do that, I'm like, obviously, we think we can do

253
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: the best if we do it this way, so whatever,

254
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: we can win. But those those one on one matchups

255
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: are like, especially when you like ball out, it's like

256
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: the best feeling do you ever go to a coach

257
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: like you would you go to a defensive coordinator and say,

258
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: like give me Tyreek Hill or whoever you're playing that week,

259
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: or do you just kind of let them handle that?

260
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: Like how do you like you have enough of like

261
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: you let your voice be known about? You know, I'm

262
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: sure a different different that's different than a hot food take. Yeah,

263
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: that's true, that is different. Yeah. Sometimes going into the week,

264
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: you're like, you just want certain guys, you know, just

265
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: if you think it fits, Like I was, I usually

266
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: let them, but we use like what goes on the meeting.

267
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 1: Then they'll kind of come to me like later yeah,

268
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: and then we'll kind of so we can be on

269
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: the same page essentially, and uh yeah, I mean I

270
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: love it. I mean it's it's really great, um anytime

271
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: you get to do that. But a lot of times

272
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: you kind of see how it goes to the week too.

273
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: So like sometimes you'll Wednesday and then you'll be like,

274
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: you know what, let's let's do this, and then you'll

275
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: kind of change it up on Thursday and then be

276
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: like we'll have you match up the whole game. We're

277
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna have you do this. So I kind of like

278
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: how we've done in the past. We've kind of seen

279
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: throughout the week which gameplan kind of works best with

280
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: just the flow of practice, and they kind of made

281
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: a decision off there, so kind of along the lines

282
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: of letting your voice be heard, like you are one

283
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: of the loudest players on the practice field, like whenever

284
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 1: you walk onto the field. We would see that in

285
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: training camp and it's kind of been cool to see that,

286
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: Like you're I guess, progression since you've been here, how

287
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: much like do you feel like a lad the leader

288
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: of this defense? Like and maybe that's just something that

289
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: happens with time. As your you know, first round pick

290
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: and you get a big contract and you play really

291
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: well and all that stuff. How do you kind of

292
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: view that aspect of your game? So for me, I

293
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I kind of think about, you know, if you don't

294
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: have energy, hopefully I'm bringing the energy for you. And

295
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, energy is just so contagious,

296
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: you know. I think about, you know, when I was

297
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: here with sis and and CJ. Gott and Eric Wuddle, guys,

298
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 1: I really looked up to you just go off kind

299
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: of what you know, how they kind of operated, how

300
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: they moved and a lot of times what you saw

301
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: was like from Sis. You alwaysknew Sis was gonna say something,

302
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: he was always gonna move a certain way. And CJ

303
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: was more of a guy that just he just led

304
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: by example. He wasn't gonna talk that much, but he

305
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: was gonna make everybody right when somebody messed up. And

306
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: so for me, I'm just always trying to come out

307
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: there with just enough juice to make sure if there's

308
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: that one guy that's like, I'm kind of tired today,

309
00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, and don't really know they hear me that,

310
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: like they're like, all right, let me get right, or

311
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: be like man, camarlin shut up, and either way, it's

312
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: an effect. And so that's kind of what I'm doing.

313
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: And sometimes they're doing it for me. Sometimes I'm like, crap,

314
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: I gotta get going, let me get right, let me

315
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: get right. So you know, I love, you know, just

316
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: getting guys ready and the energy I received back and

317
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: looking at guys, and you know, I kind of feed

318
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: off other people as well. So anytime I come out there,

319
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it's been really unique year. I felt like

320
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: I was a super quiet guy on the field when

321
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: I first started, and then kind of as times just

322
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: went on, you know, I feel like, you know, guys

323
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: have told me even Terrell sucks and I was like

324
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: a when I was a rookie, I remember him telling

325
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: me I was gonna be a leader of this defense.

326
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: And it's crazy how it kind of comes full circle.

327
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: Um going on year six and uh, I feel like

328
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: I'm kind of the leader of that defense. Another guy

329
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: like that and Marcus Peters, you know, how much was

330
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean when you have MP juice man jews many, Um,

331
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: how much was that miss last year? Like how big

332
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 1: of effect was that? Just I mean, he's different, I

333
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: think a little bit on the practice field than you

334
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: are put on games. Marcus? Is that in eleven? Right?

335
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: So like how much was that kind of miss? And

336
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: how great is it to have it back? How much

337
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: a difference does that make? It's it's I don't people

338
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: are probably people probably don't know, but it was like

339
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: a huge like miss. I remember when he came, Like,

340
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: not only is he a good player, but people don't

341
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: know how much talking he does. Like a lot of

342
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: times I'm doing unnecessary talking, He's doing He's doing a

343
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: lot of productive talking and like he's telling me from

344
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: a cast to feel like, hey, this, Hey, this, they're

345
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: coming out in this like from across the field right

346
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: like when they're huddled. So there's just so much and

347
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: just talking to everybody, Like it's just so much that

348
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: he says during a snap, from when we get the

349
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: call to what offense personnel they're bringing out to what

350
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: he's seeing, and there's just so much that's just missed there.

351
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: Like you know, people just either playmaking ability, but well,

352
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: people don't realize is the effect he has. And so

353
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: when you're like, when you don't have that, obviously you

354
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: don't miss it. But when you have it and then

355
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: he gets hurt like right for the season, you're kind

356
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: of like, okay, like that was a part of our

357
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: defense is now gone, right, so and that's not really

358
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: getting replaced. You know, there's not Marcus Peters aren't just

359
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: walking on the street, right, so and then it's not there.

360
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: So then you know, of course guys can't feel in

361
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: and do their thing. There's always great players in our roster,

362
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: but there's only one you know that guy. And that's

363
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: that's the thing about our temuere. You want to have

364
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: a great depth, but once you know, miss a guy

365
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: like that, it's a big piece of the defense. It

366
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: really hurts. So I'm super excited to get him back whenever.

367
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: Whenever he gets back, and uh, I know he'll be

368
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: the same Marcus of the old. Do you feel really

369
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: good about how good this good this defense is. I

370
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: think we got a taste of it on Sunday, But

371
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: it is the feeling that that you guys have that

372
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: this group could be special. I think this group can

373
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: be really special, you know. I think you know, we played,

374
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: we played well against the Jets, but I just feel

375
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: like there's a lot more that we can do. So

376
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm excited for it. Man. I love the addition of

377
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: Marcus Williams. That was huge. Justin Houston, I told him today,

378
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I was watching myself on film and

379
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: watching him. I was like, I did not play with

380
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 1: enough juice because justin hus just looking like he's playing

381
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: year two energy he was having out there. I'm like,

382
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: all right, next game, I got to come at least

383
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 1: more juice because this guy is making me look bad.

384
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: So I think you know, when you when you got

385
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: you know, year twelve, whatever your vets class looking like

386
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: there on year three, Year two line was boling Matt

387
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: a big right, I just I love the juice. I

388
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: feed off that, So you know, I felt like we

389
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: played okay, but the D line played you know, head

390
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: and shoulders, and I think we can all elevate to

391
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: that level. Right now, I kind of want to get

392
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: back to you know, we were talking about you and

393
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: being a leader on this team, but I really you

394
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: really resonate with me, like I connect with you, Marlon,

395
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: And you don't know this because I think you kind

396
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: of have a place on this team similar to the

397
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: place that I have in our department. And that's kind

398
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: of as a troll, right, Like I am a very

399
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: optimistic guy. I'm a like like to joke with people.

400
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: Life is supposed to be fun, right, And that's how

401
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: I kind of see that you view life. But you

402
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: also like to clown people, and you get clowned a lot.

403
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: Like when you're a troll, you get trolled on a lot. Right,

404
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: So talk to me a little bit about that. And

405
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: you're standing on the team socially, you know, I often

406
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: think about myself as far as my peers, and I'm like, man,

407
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: I think some of these guys might hate me, but yeah,

408
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, but they hate But it's like a love hate,

409
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And so I told myself

410
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: before I go to sleep, my objective. There's this guy

411
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: that calls me. His name's Bob. Every time he calls me,

412
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: it's impossible not to smile after whatever he says. I

413
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: try to have that. That is a mindset I think

414
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: of him myself. When someone sees me, I say something

415
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: to them, or we say something, I have a conversation,

416
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: hopefully it ends in a smile, whether it's a troll,

417
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: whether it's messing with someone. I mean. I just told

418
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: Lamar walking up the field today, I was like, Lamar,

419
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: where's your helmet? You know, everyone takes your helmet inside.

420
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: He's like, aren't taking inside? I was like, Lamar, you

421
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: gotta follow the rules. You want them to pay you

422
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: all this money. And he started laughing at me, and

423
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: he started making fun of the back of my head.

424
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, Lamar, the kids already made fun

425
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: of the back of my head in middle school and

426
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: elementary school. It's like, I'm secure about it now, so like,

427
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: I know, my head is kind of long in the back,

428
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: but I've already had the jokes. So that's kind of

429
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: you know, football can be as you know, some organizations

430
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: as they're walking around that robot. Some people, you can

431
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 1: express yourself. The great thing about here is you can

432
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: be whoever you want to be as long as you

433
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: do what you're supposed to do. Right, It's like it

434
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: seems like pretty simple. Just do your job and then

435
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: you can act whatever sort of way. It's like that's

436
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: a pretty easy way. You know. Some people kind of

437
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: want you to suppress who you are in different things,

438
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: and so that's just me. I'm kind of like the

439
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: cool troll, Like it's made fun of a lot, kind

440
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: of messed with people and then people mass with me.

441
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: But it always ends in a smile or I laugh.

442
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: And if you laugh with the joke that we gotta

443
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: roll with the punchest roll with bunch of So you know,

444
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: if you're trolling on somebody time, it's gonna troll you, right,

445
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how it goes. And uh, it's uh,

446
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: it's fun. I really really enjoy it. I um, I

447
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: guess now that I'm on this like uh media side,

448
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: somebody played a joke on me. Actually really in the upstairs.

449
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I don't hear all about this. E DC

450
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: played a joke on and I didn't know. You know,

451
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: I heard it was this jokester, and I'm like, someone

455
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: a moose, a large moose, because I had we had

456
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: the guy on the team whose name was moose. Okay,

457
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: so he sent me a moose, or so I thought

458
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: it was from him. A guy on our team name

459
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: a guy on our team name Moose is with us

460
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: in training and with us a mini camp, okay, And

461
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: I trained with him over the break because I wanted

462
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: to work with speed. It's really fast. We're like ten

463
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: o eight and a hundred. So I trained with him

464
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: and he sent me a moose. It's like yo. I

465
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: was like, oh, bro, look at that and send me

466
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: a moose. And for the loggers, I was like, but

467
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: that's so weird, Like why did you send me a

468
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,959
Speaker 1: huge moose? Like it's kind of weird, Like it's like

469
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, But I didn't think anything weird.

470
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: And then out of I mean his training camp, he

471
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: was a team moose. Like everyone played with this moose

472
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 1: was just in the locker room chilling. I was like, yeah,

473
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: guy's moose sent that to me. I'm telling I'm told everybody,

474
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: and then out of nowhere, easy goes, I sent you

475
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: that moose. I was like. I was like, what he's like,

476
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: I sent you that moose. I was like, because it

477
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: was weird how it was in my locker, Like it

478
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: didn't come in the mail was just in and I

479
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't think. I was like, how the

480
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: crooked moose get in it? You're not even when a

481
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: moose because I told him that I was training with moose.

482
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: So he played a joke and I was just like,

483
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie that was That was a pretty

484
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: That was pretty good. It was very random. But the

485
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: locker room, I was gonna say so in the locker room, um,

486
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: some people use it as a defender with a little

487
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: basketball hoop in there and right cross them over. But

488
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: the moose is it's our team mascot for the locker room,

489
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: posed down. If the steps up and the most we

490
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: might there might be a step up there. All right,

491
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,679

514

Speaker 1: So whether it's Oils games, and different things. But I've

515
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: really grown to just really like the city and how

516
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,959
Speaker 1: there the love to have for the Ravens and so

517
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: it has been really cool. Like I'm not a city guy.

518
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: Come from Alabama, there's not really city, so just being

519
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: around it's it's uh. And then I moved downtown, so

520
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: I've really gotten a chance to really get a deeper

521
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: dive into the city. But it's just really cool. You know.

522
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: When I first got here, I kind of had a

523
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: rough start. I got cussed up my Uber driver, I

524
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: cussed up with this random lady for holding the door

525
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: for I was like, man, this is not out Alma

526
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: at all. It is like, this is like rough. But

527
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: now that I've kind of really been out and about

528
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: it's it's been over the past couple of years, it's

529
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 1: really been pretty smooth. Just being different places and going

530
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: and seeing this, going to O's game, going to here,

531
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 1: and it's it's been really cool. So I've really enjoyed

532
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: the city and just just the people. Um, they've really

533
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: grown at me. But one thing I didn't really realize,

534
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 1: Like I knew there was Ravens. They were really die hard.

535
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: But moving downtown is like now I'm like yo, these

536
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: people love the Ravens. So my lady Gayale downstairs at

537
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: Whole Foods, we've become friends. She works in the Delhi department.

538
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: I gave her some tickets the other day. It was it,

539
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm becoming friends with a lot of people. I'm really

540
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: enjoying the city. So it's it's been a really cool

541
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: all right. And last one for me, speaking of questions

542
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: that we get from fans, Uh, the wedding band, the

543
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,640

546
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: but um yeah, see I don't really can you tell

547
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: us about this? Or is this all limits? All right?

548
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 1: All right? This is an or rank here, okay, And honestly,

549
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't really live by normal norms. I like this already.

550
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm really feeling this. I was gonna put it on.

551
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: I didn't like any other finger. I didn't, so I

552
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: don't want anything on my right hand. This is my

553
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: good hand, right, But then I don't like this finger,

554
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: and then I can't do the middle finger, and then

555
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 1: the pinky. My well, my pinkies my knuckles, mess up

556
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: my knuckles. There's too fat you haven't get put on

557
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: your thumb. Pinky ring would be a little funky too. Yeah.

558
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: So then I'm like, But then I'm also like, I'm

559
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: not one of those like want to have a big

560
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,239
Speaker 1: wedding that I would. Yeah, I mean, if I can

561
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: find the girl that's him to do that, that's gonna

562
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 1: But I just so the social norms of how things

563
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: have to be done. There's there's not a book, right,

564
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: isn't a book. Somebody just, I guess one day said

565
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: you're supposed to wear a ring on this finger? Right?

566
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: Is that how it kind of works? I think I

567
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: have no idea who came up with that? I don't know, right,

568
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: I don't like that rule exactly. So somebody that like,

569
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: they are like, also, pinky ring doesn't make any sense,

570
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 1: thumb doesn't make any sense. But so they were right. Yeah,

571
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: so today I am married. I guess no one's gonna know.

572
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: I guess. So we'll see, we'll be to the bottom

573

Speaker 1: of that. Yes, well, thank you very much, Marlin, Thank

00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: do we find it? There it is? We got the

607
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: band hat on him. He's holding the lounge songs. Ready, man,

608
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: he's ready to roll. Uh. That was just sitting in

609
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: the control room down outside the studio, so I hauled

610
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: it up. Actually, Michelle got a great picture, or boss,

611
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: Michelle got a great picture of me with it kind

612
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: of over my shoulder, like good baby, that's pretty good. Um. Well,

613
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: the bubble heads. We have the Gary Baxter throwback bubble

614
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: head for old school Ravens fans. Pretty great. Yeah, and

615
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: heap And if anyone's like listening to this, you can't

616
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: see any of this. This is to make sure you

617
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: if you don't don't do this already. From here on out,

618
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 1: all versions of the Lounge with with guests will be

619
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: posted to our YouTube channel. So we're gonna be posting

620
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: the Lounge on our YouTube channel. You'll be able to

621
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: watch you see our crazy reactions to everything that you

00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: know is said on the Lounge, and also get a

623
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: chance to get to see these players as you're listening.

624
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: So we'll still be doing the audio version, of course,

625
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 1: but we're also doing the video version. So if you're

626
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: listening to this on your podcast Apple, you can also

627
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: watch it on YouTube. And that's going to be the

628
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: case moving forward there. I just want to point out

629
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: a couple other things in here, right because this is

630
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: the first one. We have the commemoratives, which are those

631
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: the beer cans up there which have been around here

632
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: since twenty twelve Bowl won the Super Bowl, and Garrett

633
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: and I will often just on a Friday afternoon, you

634
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: know it's happy hour time about you're a public commemorative,

635
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: which starts to debate of how old is too old

636
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: for a beer? Right, we're over a decade. We're over

637
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: a decade. At this point, I think that we've passed

638
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: the expiration date. Somebody's gonna lose a bet at some

639
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: point and have to drink it. Maybe maybe when the

640
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: Ravens win their next Super Bowl, So maybe it's just February.

641
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: You've got to chu in the press box. I think

642
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: that's a great cause box. I think it's great. And

643
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: then and then this, this behemoth rate here is just

644
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 1: a treasure in the lounge, which is a heavy wooden ball.

645
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't know how I wanted to go put it

646
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: on the scale and get the weight on this thing,

647
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: but it's pretty heavy. And everybody that comes into the

648
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: lounge is challenged to palm the ball, which is not

649
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: it's challenging. It's challenging. It's not an easy feet and

650
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: it really determines you know, your strength, your strength, what

651
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: you got in you and Garrett's you with your tiny

652
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: little hands. You don't have it today, Well, you don't

653
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: have it today. That's because we had ribs for lunch.

654
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: You can't, no, you can't do it. That's cheat. So

655
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: so you know, just to explain you got to roll

656
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: it further. I kind of want to hold it over here,

657
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: thank you, just to explain some of the decor around here.

658
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: And then we went around and fill the shelves we

659
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: also rated everybody's cubicle uh in marketing corporate sales. Thank

660
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: you to them for the donations that you didn't even

661
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: know that you made, because most of you weren't at

662
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: your desk when I stole the stuff off of there

663
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: to put up in here. So thank you to all

664
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: those people out there. I will say that this facility

665
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: is like if you knee kind of random Ravens stuff. Yeah,

666
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: this is obviously the mecca for sure of that. So

667
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: we had some fun I mean a Gary Backster bobblehead. Yeah,

668
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: case some point. We raided some people's desks today and

669
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: that was kind of fun. So the other thing, last

670
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: thing on that front, we got a helmet here which

671
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: Marlin signed on its way out. Every guest who comes

672
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 1: by the lounge, we're gonna have him sign this helmet

673
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna give us away and I'm gonna

674
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: put it in my basement and get it, find a

675
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: perfect spot for it. We're gonna we're gonna give us

676
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: away at a point later this year. So we'll have

677
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: to come up with a really good cons gonna be

678
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: a very good contest because that's gonna have any ideas emails, Yeah,

679
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: the lounge at Ravens do NFL dot Net. I'd be

680
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 1: I'd be intrigued to hear what kind of contest ideas

681
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: people come up with, for sure. So all right, uh,

682
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: let's talk a little football. Ravens open have their home opener.

683
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: It gets the Dolphins on Sunday. What's your take on

684
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: this game? What do you expect? This is a big game.

685
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean the Dolphins. I think at the end of

686
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: the year, we're gonna be looking at the Ravens playoff

687
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: positioning and the Dolphins are going to be part of

688
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: that conversation. Yeah right, I mean they're one to know,

689
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: and I just think they're a very talented team. Obviously

690
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: invested a lot, uh you know, at left tackle, obviously

691
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: a wide receiver bringing in Tyreek Hill this offseason, and

692
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: they have weapons Jalen Waddle, so Tua has some big

693
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: time weapons to throw two on the outside. And their

694
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: defense as good as we saw last year. You know,

695
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: when the Ravens went to Miami, we're heavy favorites going

696
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: into Thursday night football and it ended up taking a

697
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: tough one that that was a tough loss. Yeah, pretty surprising,

698
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: and so we all saw what their defense did that

699
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: night stork amount of covers zero blitzes with their safeties

700
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: bringing the heat, and so it's up to the Ravens

701
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: to show that they have the answers for that, you know.

702
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: The rest of the season really, until Lamar got hurt,

703
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 1: it was kind of okay, how are the Ravens gonna

704
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: respond to cover zero blitzes? You know? Do they have

705
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: the answers? And they struggled in a way. It wasn't

706
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: just the Dolphins game. Even after that, it kind of

707
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: lingered a little bit, and we're gonna see now not

708
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: a year later, but then the following season, after working

709
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: on this in training camp and through the summer, do

710
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: you the Ravens have the answers for that cover zero

711
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: blitz Yeah. Obviously there's also a big change for the Dolphins'

712
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, so Brian Flora, but it's the same

713
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: defensive coordinat same defensive coordinator. Brian Flores is a defensive

714
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: minded head coach was there at the time. He's no

715
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: longer there, you know, And I think that that's an

716
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: intriguing aspect of kind of an unknown aspect with the Dolphins,

717
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: not just what they're going to do defensively. But Michael Daniel,

718
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 1: you know this offensive you know, kind of guru. What's

719
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: he gonna dial up as the Ravens are you know,

720
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: there's not there's not. You know, you can go back

721
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: you look at tape for when he was in San Francisco. Well, yeah,

722
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: I'm glad we didn't get him week one. I think

723
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: it's a little bit better to get one week of tape.

724
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 1: You have at least a week off sample exactly. It's

725
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: not great, but you have an idea of what they

726
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: want to do. Yeah, a little bit more. And I'll

727
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: say this, you know, I think that the opening game,

728
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people have asked me this. Um,

729
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: you know, the Ravens win handedly. The question I think

730
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people have asked is, well, was it

731
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: just because the Jets aren't a very good team and

732
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,839
Speaker 1: they're playing with their backup quarterback? Or are the Ravens

733
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: a good team? And I think the Ravens are a

734
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: good team. I don't think the Jets are gonna win

735
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: a ton of games this year, um, but I think

736
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: they have a really talented defense, um, And I think

737
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason the Ravens are slow

738
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: out of the gate um, and I think that this

739
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: will be a kind of another test for the offense

740
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: um to see, like sure, like I think I think

741
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: this will be a chance to see, all right, how's

742
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: this offense fair, especially if they get you know, a

743
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: lot of cover zero blitz again against the Dolphins. Um,

744
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, Russ is not going to be a factor.

745
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: You've you know, that's not something that would be you know,

746
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: brought into this game. And then defensively, you're going up

747
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 1: against an offense in Miami that has way more weapons,

748
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 1: like this is a dangerous offense so the Dolphins have.

749
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: And I just think that we're gonna get a kind

750
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: of a much truer test of where the Ravens are

751
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: and I'll be looking forward to seeing that. Yeah, yeah,

752
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: I definitely agree. I mean I think that, uh, you know,

753
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Tua is is an interesting quarterback because he's different from Joe. Right,

754
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,959
Speaker 1: Joe is this like big arm makes every throw, known

755
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: for being a gun you know, a gun slinger, uh,

756
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: for taking deep shots. Tah isn't known for being that

757
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: as much. But now he has the weapons outside with

758
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: the speed that he certainly can ye right, and so um,

759
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: Rpo is much a much bigger piece of the Jets

760
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: offense at all. They're a very big RPO team, very

761
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: big rpo teams. So for sure it's a stiffer test

762
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 1: for the defense and we're gonna get a truer indication

763
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: after what was a dominant Week one performance from the

764
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: defense of really how good they are. And I think

765
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: it's very good. Yeah, um so, I mean Empty Bank

766
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: same is gonna be rocking. The defense is going to

767
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: be feeling that. And I think also it remains to

768
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: be seen, you know, whether we get more guys back

769
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: from injuries. You know, we talked a little bit about

770
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: micro Marcus Peters with Marlin. Does he play this week? Right?

771
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: I think that I thought that he had a chance. Certainly,

772
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: I thought he had a pretty good chance of playing

773
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: Week one against the Jets, and so it'll be interesting

774
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: to see whether he takes the field this week. Does JK.

775
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Dobbins play this week? Ronnie Stanley, you know, all three

776
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: of those guys who didn't suit up the first week,

777
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: where are they at now a week later? So, you know,

778
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: we talked a lot also just going back to the

779
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: offensive side, about the run game. You know, coming out

780
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: of the Jets game, that the run game wasn't that sharp. JK.

781
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: Dobbins could change that in a hurry. I do think

782
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: that a lot of it is on the offensive line. However,

783
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: a lot of it I think is going to be

784
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: working out some of those kinks from week one and

785
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 1: sharpening up the blocking for whoever is back there. Yeah, totally.

786
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: I also think Kat and Drake having you more time

787
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: in the offense is going to help kind of iron

788
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: out some of those kinks too. Is he just kind

789
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: of gets to know what he's doing and where to

790
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: be and gets more familiarity. That's going to help. But like,

791
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 1: it was good to have Marlon on this week because

792
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna have his hands well. Whether or not Marcus

793
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: Peters plays or not, you know, I think everyone's hoping

794
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters plays, especially after the Kyle Fuller injury. Now

795
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: you lose him for the season to a torn ACL

796
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, late in that game, Um, you know, suddenly

797
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: the secondary. You know, I'm not like, it's not last

798
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: year where you lost everybody, but it's it's thinner, it is.

799
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you subtract one. But the thing about that is,

800
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: you know, if if if Marcus were to come back,

801
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 1: you're really in the same spot that you were last

802
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 1: year against the Jets, Right, he just steps in to

803
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 1: the same spot that Kyle Fuller played. Brandon Stevens is

804
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: still your number three corner yeah, right, and and then

805
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: on down the line, right, And so really what it

806
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: was was Kyle Fuller, I think was expected to be

807
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: the number three with Marcus and Marlon both healthy and

808
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: out and playing. He was expected to be the number three.

809
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: And now that guy is going to be Brandon Stevens.

810
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: It looks like for for the majority of the year, right,

811
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: And if Marcus Peters weren't ready to play, now you're

812
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: counting on pepe A Williams, Jaylan Armor Davis right to

813
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: be the number three to be the number right, exactly.

814
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, obviously it hurts your depth. Um

815
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: injuries always stink, But I don't I think that the

816
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: Ravens are still in pretty good position. Knock on we're

817
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: knock on the football. Oh yeah, the football. Yeah, I

818
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: was gonna not gonna show um knock on wood. Like,

819
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Ravens are in dire straits yet,

820
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: depth wise, certainly from a cornerback perspective, and even at

821
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: tackle it's a little bit more dicey there. If Ronnie

822
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,720
Speaker 1: weren't to return this this game. Uh, you know, because

823
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: you have Patrick McCarey stepping in left tackle. Well, now

824
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 1: that means he's not your backup center, right, so Tristan

825
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Cologne could be active. But you now, okay, well who's

826
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: your backup left tackle, right? Because you always have to

827
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: have the backups right? Um, and so is that file

828
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: is that Morgan Moses would kick over to the left side?

829
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: You have more questions about your tackle depth, uh, following

830
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: the John James injury, Uh than I think you have

831
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 1: questions at cornerback. Yeah, if that makes sense. Yeah, yeah,

832
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: there's more of a ripple effect on the offensive line,

833
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. So game is Sunday at one

834
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: o'clock on CBS. For fans, as you make your way

Speaker 1: Saragosa before the game around twelve forty. So you know

844
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna be a powerful moment if you haven't

Speaker 1: seen it. We are wearing a decal on the back
