WEBVTT - Jackson, Humphrey, Andrews & Harbaugh: Ravens Press Conferences 1/15/25 0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:07.280 Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. Today's Wednesday, January fifteenth, 0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:09.360 and the Ravens like the practice field as it prepare 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.920 for their Sunday AFC Divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills. 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.640 After practice, we heard from head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.000 It'll be colder in here tomorrow when I get all 0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:23.160 the water shut off in here so the pipes don't freeze, 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.880 so we even be colder, so we'll have a cold. 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:28.760 Love to be outside, but we just can't. The fields 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.160 are too hard and they're too frozen. But we'll get 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:32.479 to work in We've had a lot of work in 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:33.960 the cold. We've got a lot of work in the wind, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:35.720 and the elements are part of it, you know. And 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.360 the other thing's going to be the footing on their field. 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.080 We're thinking about that too. We want to make sure 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.760 we've got good footing on the field. It's a turf 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:44.640 field and it'll be hard and kind of frozen, so 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:46.960 we're trying to think about all that. But really what 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.600 we're thinking about is just executing our plays at the 0:00:50.680 --> 0:00:52.000 highest level we possibly can. 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:55.720 I have you a share of big cold wins since 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:56.279 you lead here. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.600 What is the the other things to sign whether. 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.000 You have besides going on, well, just kind of what 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:04.560 we're talking about in terms of operating and executing is 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.240 the main thing. I mean, you've got you operate under duress. 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:11.640 You know, it's the address of the of the opponent. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.960 It's also the address of the environment. And it's really 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.080 the noise as much as anything, especially for the offense. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.000 But that's a two way street. I mean, you know, 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:20.600 we we have it at our stadium. Our defense has 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.760 to operate that way too, and you know, both groups 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.000 have to deal with communication, with with noise, you know, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:32.280 so being being on the same page, but also being 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.080 on the same page as the snap count things like that, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.440 trying not to you know, put ourselves in first and 0:01:36.480 --> 0:01:38.560 fifteen those kind of things is very important. 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:44.120 Looking seems to group preparing different mentally comparing with the 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:44.800 regular seas. 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.000 I don't see any different. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.760 I mean, we've been preparing at a really high level 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.840 and maybe notched up a little bit. I mean you 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.680 I think it's natural to kind of turn it up 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.640 a notch, tighten it down a notch at the same time, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.480 and really get locked in for the task at hand. 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.280 Every step along way, but every step along the way, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.320 we're trying to do it to the highest level we 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.720 possibly can anyway, So our guys have done a great 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.399 job of that. They continue to do a great job 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.079 of that. That's why they're in the position they're in 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.480 right now to have a chance to play a game 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:11.760 like this. 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.080 John even a part of so many big playoff games, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.040 and you know, everything goes into it, whether it's on 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.959 the field, off the field, the hype, the tightness, the 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.400 intensity when you're in those moments coaching. Does that leave 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.640 and it gets back to football or is that constantly 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.919 kind of in your mind of any big play, any 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.240 big mistake and it's winner go home. 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.320 No, it really did. You don't think that way during 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.399 the game. You think about the game itself. I think 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.640 one thing I've found is the margin for air in 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:41.120 these games is tighter because you're playing really good teams. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.280 It's not so much that it's the opportunity to advance 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.480 or or or the downside of not advancing. It's more 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.240 the fact that you're playing, you know, one of the 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:53.200 best teams in the National Football League. So you feel 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.080 that way in those type games, like every position is 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.239 really going to make the difference, and you want to 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.600 make the most of every play, every possession. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.040 Point turnovers or you know, obviously a big deal, especially 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:06.640 this time of year. I think they've had the fewest. 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.600 You guys who are like third, Why have you been 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.760 so successful in that area and how much of a 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.560 player of emphasis has been particularly in. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:17.120 This time of the year. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.200 Well, it's a point of emphasis always and it's a 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.920 point of emphasis right now big time because you know, 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.679 for our offense, this defense takes the ball away a lot. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.600 We're going to try to take the ball away from 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.440 them as much as we can and try to get 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.280 them as uncomfortable as we can, of course, but also 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.360 on on on on offense understanding that's how they play. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.840 You know, they try to put you in position where 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.640 they create turnovers. So yeah, protecting the football is job one. 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:42.880 You know, that was in our meeting today. It's pretty 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.520 much in our meeting every week, but it was definitely 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.480 in our meeting today. Might have been the number one 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.120 point job one, number one, Uh, protect the football. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:53.920 Put you about Josh, Now you've seen dot R times 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.960 every years, but what I presures you worry about him? 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.960 Well, I mean an ultimate type competitor. You know, obviously 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.280 he's got he's a fiery personality. He saw that a 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.960 rookie year. I remember he came over the sideline and 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.240 him and Suggs or something. I don't know what happened. 0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:08.480 He got hit on the sideline or something. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:08.880 He came up. 0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:09.480 He came up. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.160 Swinging, man, and I respected that, you know. And I 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.560 did tell him, I said, who whoa? You know, calm down? 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:20.160 And I saw him at the Masters like that next 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.040 year that spring and had a chance to hang out 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.920 with him. He was there with Sam Darnold and had 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.280 a few laughs about that whole deal. But a lot 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:29.600 of respect for him. Competitive guy. 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:32.960 I mean, you guys expect to be in this kind 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.400 of round the playoffs every year, Like what didn't you 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.920 kind of preached the scene whether it's an off season 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.440 during the season. Pushing would have been a few years 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.200 expresspect the quartificationis and and kind of knowing that if 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.000 you do everything right, kind of put yourself in a 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.080 position to have a win special seasons. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:55.880 Yeah, it's been. It's been a big point of emphasis 0:04:55.920 --> 0:05:00.560 for US patients in this sense. You can't win a 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.640 game in one play. You can't win a game in 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.880 one series or one drive or one quarter or even 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.640 one half. You have to do it one play at 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:10.560 a time for a whole game, and you've got to 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.200 be patient and understand that there's gonna be there's gonna 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.360 be momentum swings, there's gonna be good plays, there's gonna 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.520 be they're gonna make plays. It's how you respond and 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.560 and what you make of the next opportunity, really and 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.600 understanding that so you don't lose yourself in the emotion. 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.280 The momentum of the game is really important, and that's 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:29.839 been a big emphasis and I think our guys, I 0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:32.160 believe our guys. I believe our guys have done a 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.000 really good job of that and are very much aware 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:36.200 of that. 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:40.800 Right now, John, do you ask a veteran like Kyle 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.880 van Noyd, He's been a lot of these battles, has 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:43.719 been through Super Bowls. 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.080 I know you have a couple justin. 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.320 Tucker hazards well, but do you lean on him to 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.520 talk to younger players at. 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:49.680 All of this at this time. 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.000 Sure, they do a great he does a great job 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.640 of that, Tuck. Our veteran guys who have been in 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.400 these games, they do a good job of that, Sure, 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:03.160 and I appreciate that and our guys ask him. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.560 An you think that made the bag yourself to a 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:06.080 reliable tight. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:07.280 Zone that thought? 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.840 Well, I think he runs great routes, you know, and 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.559 it's tight area. Things happen fast in the red zone 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.240 and the good route runner is a big deal. I mean, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.800 people assume it's just size and you know, fifty to 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.960 fifty and go get a ball type thing. But I 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.279 think route running, that value of rout running the red 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:25.120 zone really goes up. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.640 Next up is quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.400 You're not going specifically against Josh Allen in this game, 0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:42.200 but what you know as a fellow quarterback, what has 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.600 always touched you about Josh Allen? 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.280 His uniqueness of just making things happen when please break 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:54.960 down strong on you make any throw in a field? 0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:00.760 Definitely youmar How can you describe by excitement going down 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:02.320 in too, you know against Bills? 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:02.720 Uh? 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.640 The same as last week? Uh? I. 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.400 I feel like our guys just locked in playoff atmospheres 0:07:07.880 --> 0:07:10.240 pretty much serious around the building. Our guys haven't been 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:12.720 We been joking, but like not that much. You know, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.000 God's just locked in. Cause, like I said, a lot 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.400 of us was here last year and we know, like, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.120 what's that state for us. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:22.080 Marsh Mart's supposed to be even colder in Buffalo than 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:23.280 it was last weekend here. 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:25.760 What what will you do to manage level? 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:26.880 Uh? 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.880 Hopefully we have some heaters on the salone. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:34.600 Uh bigger jacket, Yeah, probably, I gotta talk to a 0:07:34.640 --> 0:07:36.960 kaniko to see what he got going on equipment. Guys, 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.120 they pretty much do a great job though, so we 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:39.760 should be good. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.160 But you gor, you don't do gloves under any circumshance. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.560 Nah, I tried it in practice. I was horrible. Lead 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:49.080 that up to Teddy. T to gloves Teddy Bridgewater try. 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.560 Out of ten deside it it seems like you do 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.240 handle the cold water pretty well. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:53.680 I mean, being a Florida guy. 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.320 You know, everythink, Yeah, man, I'm tryna win, so it 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.080 it really don't matter.

So I 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.440 gotta lock in in the cole well looking, you think it's. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.080 Made just thought They make such as a liabils of. 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:14.200 Practice and stuff. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.960 Man him just being him, like we we seeing we 0:08:18.000 --> 0:08:21.040 we planting film on w Bateman just getting open on guys, 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.240 you know. But the ball wasn't going his way, you know, 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.640 cause it was always out of my hands or uh 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.160 it's pressure or something back size, so he he wasn't 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.240 able to get the ball. But us just watching film 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.920 and just building chemistry over and over, you know, day 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.080 and day out, and him just being the best feel 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.599 he can be. He just lighting things up, making my 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.600 job a lot easier, getting open even more, you know. Uh, 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.360 And we got a lot of guys on our on 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.599 our offense, Man tight ends a lot more. See, he 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.160 was running back, so it's it's hard to keep a 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:47.760 eye on one guy. 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:50.760 Do you kind of get the sensitive This game is 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.679 the main event this weekend and this this is a 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.200 sort of the matchup that everybody wants to see. 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:58.520 Then excuse me for everyone watching him, But I really 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.600 don't care.

So you don't 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.599 feel any different as far as the build up to 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:17.240 this match up. 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.199 So we ah, I believe we already built up. You know, 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.520 it's it's playoffs. It's like, it's not like we can 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.840 go out there, lose a game and then get prepare 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:26.439 for another game. You know, it's win to go home. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.800 So we we already like, let. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.840 Lamar, we know what your goal has been since you've 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.400 gotten drafted here and you get to this time of 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.000 year in the playoffs, obviously you're getting closer. But when 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.640 you win a playoff game, what does that build? Does 0:09:39.679 --> 0:09:41.920 it make you think about the end goal anymore? 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.000 How how do you handle playoff win?

But after that, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.280 it's like, alright, we got another game. You know, it's 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.920 no get high, get low, just stay focused. 0:09:58.679 --> 0:09:59.640 Oh, you guys have a. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.040 Lot of different polidations of receivers and tight ends in 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:04.640 your game, various. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.120 Time class But how did that go operational? 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.520 Interesting trands of everyone being on the same page. 0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:11.800 It was pretty smooth. 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:14.520 D you, Like you said, everyone being on the same page. 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.040 It just had everything flow smooth for us on the 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:18.040 off the side of the ball. 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:20.400 Lamar we saw art knots. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.240 In another instance, are you ha any catch your pants 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:22.920 were falling. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:28.000 Down and that after? Nah, they put my pants down, 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:28.920 one of 'em. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.719 Like, I guess they were just trying to tackle me, 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.079 not literally pants a man, No, nothing like that, not 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:34.839 nothing like that. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.560 But yeah, I was, you know, they just. 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.120 Tacking me, got me, I guess, to aggress it, just 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.679 making sure I was down. My pants slipped so hard. 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:43.640 Knot stop putting that up. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.880 A new quarterbacks from the two thousand eighteen rap class, right, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:52.280 you're kind of this group, you're viewed as this group. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.439 What's your relationship with Josh Allen? 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.520 Do you ever see him off season and any at 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.240 any of these charity events or anything like that. 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:00.559 Do you see Josh had it? I don't know. 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:05.160 I probably seen Josh like early on in our career, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.600 like going to certain events like Super Bowl ro Super 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:09.719 Bowl time and stuff like that, But off season, I 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.400 really I don't really chill with people off season, like 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.600 especially not other quarterbacks, like nothing like like, don't get 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:18.160 me wrong, there's no problem or nothing like that. But 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:22.080 it's like we compete against each other, like I'm trying 0:11:22.120 --> 0:11:23.600 to beat you. I'm not trying to be your friend. 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:25.679 Do you think though, that because you guys were from 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.040 the sting PFT past, that you'll kind of always be 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:29.040 winked together? Yeah? 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. When we're older, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.120 we'll probably laugh about it. But right now it's serious. 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:34.560 I ain't laughing with you. 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:40.000 Right been probably two months I think, since you've thrown 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:47.160 an interception. This is a team that well, but this 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.240 is a team that I think is up there second 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.559 or third in most takeaways. What if you and we 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:56.480 saw it even last week at that end a half drive, 0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.120 you know, being intentional about you know, steal your are 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.679 gonna be swiping get the ball and that sort of thing. 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.600 What what have you done this season to to really tighten. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:06.840 That part of of your game? 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.559 Like, uh, just overly focused on that that part of 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.920 the game. Uh, just protecting the ball. Cause just going back, 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.079 like I said, just watching film. Uh, a lot of 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:18.760 our games came down to us what turned over us 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.079 getting back on track stuff like that. So coach over 0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:24.600 emphasizing that on us, like making sure you know, ball 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.839 security this and that and that plays a part with 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.920 me not just fumbling, but keeping the ball out of 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.240 the receiv uh defender's hands as well, you know, put 0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:32.800 the ball with my own of my receiver can catch 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.120 the ball and make moves. So that's pretty much just 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.560 been a uh all around over emphasis focus for us. 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.600 The more you p were able to put up twenty 0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:44.240 points without s having say out there, uh, it's say 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.400 is still unable to play? How big of a challenge 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.319 does that put on this offense when you don't have 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:49.360 a say out there? 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:49.840 Uh? 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.320 Y I it's a huge challenge. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:51.520 You know. 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.040 That's God been been with us all season long, been 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.120 making things happen for us, and just him being him 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.000 what he brings to the game. Uh, it's like we 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.920 gonna miss that. But you know we got guys who 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:05.679 locked in and and ready to step up to the 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:06.200 plate for us. 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.520 Come on, this this a you're seven for you? 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.560 I mean, do you think you have as a greater 0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:13.319 appreciation of understand what it takes foot wave in the 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.800 play less than in say clean fifteen twenty twenty. 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.680 Uh I always had the appreciation, we just didn't come 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.439 out with successful. But yeah, it's just it's just different 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.839 from like you, like you said, like they experienced part 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:29.560 of it, like certain things you had to clean up 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.719 in those playoff games that the ones we won, we 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:34.800 didn't really have those problems th the with the ones 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:37.520 we lost. You know, So just me watching like I said, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.520 watching film and learning from my mistakes should make things 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.120 a lot easier, make things a lot easier for me. 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:44.080 T more two more you. 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:45.880 Uh's a team you're coming off again when you put 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.360 up almost three hundred yards on the ground and get success, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.240 runs ball that this guys the first time around? How 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.000 important did you take especially kind of full light of 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:53.760 the one games w G this game? 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:55.439 Uh uh, I feel like that. 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.000 Just play a football, especially in the playing up north, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.440 you gotta be a run football, especially with the. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.040 Cold to win the cold, really, the cold really don't 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:05.760 play that part. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.320 It would be the win really, you know. So sometimes 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.120 you got to run that ball. You know, it'll be 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:10.760 a huge part. 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.000 Lam you played obviously beat these guys earlier this year, 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.120 but and it's been a few years since you played 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:16.800 them in the playoffs. 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.040 But does that last playoff game matter to you? 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.280 Do you? 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.160 Yeah, I just saw like I just you know, I 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.080 just hear the clip they always like to post like 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.200 they like to throw that out, the little interception return. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.200 Yeah we yeah, yeah, Yeah, That's all I'm gonna say 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:30.520 about that. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:30.720 Though. 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.160 Then we heard from tight end Mark Andrews. 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.520 What stood up for here from that last playoff? 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:44.960 You remember, now? 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.880 Yeah, you know, of course you know, and I think 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.440 you know Lamar talked about it's just being able to 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.760 learn from your mistakes and you know, growing throughout the years. 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.200 And I think that this team is is different than 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.320 you know, all the teams in. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.600 The past, and uh, we're be ready to go. 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:10.680 Sorry, we've seen you play a physical brand of football. Obviously, 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.840 Derek Carry is piece himself. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.840 Is there if you think you appreciate. 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.320 The difference for defenders and trying to tackle someone or 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.360 your degree whether as opposed to get especially after football kind. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:23.600 Of season, the guys involving a part of yeah, I 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:25.400 think there is. But at the same time, it's both 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.800 teams going through it. It's both teams, you know, just 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:30.000 being out to be physical and have a guy like 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:31.560 that and you know, he's a he's a tough tackle 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.600 to begin with. But you know, these are two teams 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.600 that are are used to you know, cold type weather. 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:38.360 It's it's all business for for us, and we're not 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:39.120 gonna be thinking about that. 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.680 Do you have really good mental process that you go 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.520 through when you know the conditions are going to be rough? 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.560 I mean you seem like a no sleeves guy pretty 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.440 much any any any type of year. But like, how 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.160 do you get in that space? 0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.840 You know, it's just it's like it's war time. You know, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.520 it's time to go to war. It's accepting anything and everything. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.440 Do you have any tricks for how you try to 0:15:58.480 --> 0:15:58.920 stay war? 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:01.120 Just keep moving, That's all it is. 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:02.040 Just keep moving. 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:06.080 Or you talk about just kind of the experience of 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:08.280 past playoff games, how do you think that like those 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:12.680 experiences when we went to even Buffalo, other playoff games, 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.560 how have those shape that you as a team and 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.160 to help you be in a good position to summer? 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:17.640 Well, I think you know, this team right now is 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.360 playing really good football, you know, offensively, uh and moving 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.040 the ball, being efficient, you know, not making mistakes. And 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.480 I think that we've grown throughout the year and then uh, 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.040 we're we're not hurting ourselves as much and just being 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.920 able to to play efficient in football. Take care of 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:32.360 the football is the main thing, especially in the playoffs, 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:33.960 when you have you know, our type of team. 0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:38.200 Mark mark Mark. 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:40.880 When you go into a game where you know everyone's 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.680 talking about, hey, this is the game of the week. 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:44.360 Some people are going, hey, this could be the one 0:16:44.360 --> 0:16:46.840 of the best playoff games. And in recent memory, with 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.280 all this build up, you're you're gonna be playing this game. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:52.440 Do you feel that build up or is this just 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.360
