1
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Wednesday,

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: August thirtieth, and today we heard from head coach John Harbaugh,

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver Tylon Wallace, and defensive back Arthur Mallett. Coach

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Harbaugh talk today about the process of trimming the roster

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: to fifty three players.

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 2: I appreciate everybody being here.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 3: Thank you for being here. So that culminates what we're

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: going to do preseason now and everything we do starting

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 3: Monday is going to be game related. So obviously we're

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: working on some game plan stuff out here the last

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: three days as well. I was happy with what we

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: did the last three days. We've got the roster pretty

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: well organized. There are some ongoing gymnastics so to speak,

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 3: that we're we'll be involved with and until we finalize it,

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: and then you know, throughout the course of the season,

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: things are ever ever changing, evolving, revolving. That's how the

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: NFL works. What question do you have, John, You've talked.

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 4: So much about the difficulty of those conversations with cuts,

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: But what's that's like on the flip side and tell

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: a guy like even and the league that they have

21
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: made this team.

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: It's truly Yeah, thank you for that, it's it's awesome.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 3: You have an opportunity to tell guys they made the team,

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: like those two young guys that necessarily maybe necessarily I

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: would say they were hoping to but didn't necessarily expect to,

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: and then they make it. Also guys who made the

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 3: practice squad. I mean there's guys making the practice squad

28
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: who were just thrilled that was their goal and that's

29
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 3: their foot in the door. So yeah, those are really fun.

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: There's a lot of hugs, there's a few tiers sometimes. Uh,

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 3: there's a lot of laughs usually, So it's all, it's all,

32
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: it's all, you know, it's it's not a bad day.

33
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 3: It's not a bad day. It's a good day because

34
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: you know, you're just involved in people's lives that way.

35
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: I I kind of cherished the day as a coach,

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 3: and you're right, that probably makes it. That tops it off.

37
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: John, one of these guys jobs jobs and.

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: Lost it behind them the four quarterbacks and opposites and

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 5: rule in the rules the.

40
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Year to get some guys that put up. Yeah, there's

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 3: a lot, there's a lot of that question. There's a

42
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: lot involved in that, and I think we'll see that

43
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: kind of unfold here today tomorrow kind of what our

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: plans are going to be. So I'll just kind of.

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 6: Leave it to that.

46
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: But we have thought all that through.

47
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 7: You know.

48
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: Obviously Josh had a heck of a heck of a camp,

49
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: played really well all through, all through practices, was outstanding,

50
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: and then you know, the last two games he was

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: couldn't have been any better. So we love Josh and

52
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: we'll just let it play out here next twenty four

53
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 3: hours or so.

54
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 8: John, in your opinion, was separated the undrafted guys keeping

55
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 8: in the league from rest of the competition when I picked.

56
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of things involved. I don't

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 3: think you can put it to one specific thing. Sometimes

58
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: it's just opportunity and need, you know, sometimes it's what

59
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 3: they can bring to the table immediately that your team

60
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 3: just happens to need. And I'd say that's part of it.

61
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: But they earned it. Every single guy. We just told

62
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: these guys, every guy out there standing in that circle,

63
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: coach and player, star player and guy who made the

64
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: practice scuff for the first time, they.

65
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: All earned it.

66
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: They all earned it. And what goes with that, and

67
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: the reason they earned it is because they Andrew stand

68
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: that then now you have to earn it every day.

69
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: You have to continue to earn it every single day,

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: and I'm confident they'll do a great job of that.

71
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 5: Appear from fans media about what's this new offense? Like

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 5: when when does the regular season starts?

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 7: What do you have quch a feeling.

74
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: Of what kind of this identity we'll look?

75
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 5: I mean, could you've been building it throughout the whole

76
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 5: all rame?

77
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 9: Uh?

78
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I you know, we all have an

79
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: understanding of what we're trying to do. You know, we

80
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: have an understanding what the vision is. We've been working

81
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: hard to communication. We all understand how it's built and

82
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: how we uh, how we you know, how we want

83
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: to operate, you know. So we're gonna go out there

84
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: and do our best, put our best foot forward. Uh

85
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 3: and we'll see what happens. I mean, that's why you

86
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: play the games. You've got to go play the games.

87
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: You know. All the talk is talk, and then you

88
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: go play the games and see where you're at. And

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 3: once we play the first game against the Texans, we'll

90
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: have a much better idea where we stand.

91
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 8: The conversations you talked about Mark and Mallett ormatics we're

92
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 8: gonna get this way that you see.

93
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 6: In him, the ability to having him on.

94
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 7: Your line, right.

95
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was tough for Arthur because he had the hamstring,

96
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: you know, and that really that was tough and he

97
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: was he was pretty upset about that, you know, all

98
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 3: when it happened, and really all the way through it. It

99
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: was not a great hamstring. It was one of those

100
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 3: ones that takes a while to heal. But he's back now. Uh,

101
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 3: And he had done so much. I think he had

102
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 3: done all the right things before that happened, and then

103
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 3: we knew him as a player coming in and he

104
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 3: was the kind of player that we're looking for. So

105
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: he's back out there today doing that. You guys saw

106
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: him at practice. We're excited to have him on the team.

107
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 5: Oh No, we had some decisions to make probably the

108
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 5: last few offensive line spots, but it seems like you

109
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: most are we're able to get back with the guys

110
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 5: on the practice spot. I mean, were you ultimately happy

111
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 5: with the way that worked out in.

112
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: The big picture.

113
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of strategy that goes into it,

114
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: you know, and you've got to kind of extrapolate a

115
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 3: little bit in terms of what might happen or might

116
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 3: not happen, and try to keep as many of the

117
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 3: of the players that you want, as many players as

118
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: you can, and we were able to do that in

119
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: the ad line to your point, for sure, I mean

120
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: we kept we were able to keep all those guys

121
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: and that was good for us. So really happy. I'm

122
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: Sam to your point, probably the key the key guy

123
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: there being Sam, right, and for him to still be

124
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: here and be providing us depth at center like he

125
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: does that kind of a player, that's a huge, huge

126
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 3: win for us.

127
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 10: With the practice squad years ago, if you just to

128
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 10: have a few spots and their veterans.

129
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: Were not involved, does the cutdown feel any less dramatic because.

130
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 6: You know, you can bring sixteen people back now.

131
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: I don't know about the drama part of it, but

132
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: it's a big advantage to have more practice squad players.

133
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 3: It's a great move by the NFL bow. You know,

134
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: more guys get a chance to work, more guys get

135
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: a chance to develop, More veteran players get a chance

136
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: to stay and continue to play, you know, and there

137
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: their number comes up so fast, you know, because you know,

138
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 3: I think we try to make sure guys are healthy

139
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: before they come back. So now the practice where guys

140
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 3: are moving up and playing. Just told those guys you've

141
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 3: got to be ready to play on Sunday. Your mindset

142
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: when you come in on Monday is that you're you're

143
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: playing on Sunday. That's how you got to think. Because

144
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen like that when it does, so I

145
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 3: would say, yeah, it's a great thing. I'm really happy

146
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: about it. We like coach guys. It's good to have

147
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: more guys to coach.

148
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 8: One of those back was both he's a nice preseason.

149
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 5: I'm sure you're pleased to be.

150
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 11: Able to turn his comes back.

151
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 10: Where you where do you go?

152
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 7: He's a surprise that he still be.

153
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 3: I don't and I wouldn't say surprised. I mean I

154
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 3: think there was a chance, but uh, we're just happy

155
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: to have him back more than anything, just happy pleased.

156
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: He's a young, good developmental tight end. He knows exactly

157
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 3: what he's got to work on. Very smart, I mean,

158
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 3: just very self aware guy. So, uh, we're thrilled to leave.

159
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 12: When the guys.

160
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 10: Day were out with the summer, where did you.

161
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 12: See him make strides?

162
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 10: And what they believe, you know, earned.

163
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 6: Him at spot on the game.

164
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 3: The biggest thing with Ben is uh is that he

165
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: was able to be out there every day, and so yeah,

166
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: he made the strides, you know, and not just in

167
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: one area, pretty much across the board. In the past

168
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 3: he's kind of been in and out, in and out

169
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: with different kinds of injuries. He stacked all those days

170
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: in training camp and then turn on the game film

171
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 3: when you watch it and I know you have Jeff.

172
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: He played well. He blocked people, run and passed. So

173
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 3: that's the bottom line. All the work he put in

174
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: it showed up in the games. He played well.

175
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 6: Kyer Uh. I mean, is that just kind of the

176
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 6: the risk and the game that played some honey.

177
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to bat a thousand, you know. And

178
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: uh And really I think some of that goes with

179
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: the fact that we had the injuries to the to

180
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: the corners and we need to bring in some some

181
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: some you know, veteran corners, and that kind of squeezed

182
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: our our developmental opportunities out just a little bit. So

183
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: we were hoping to get Kaya to the practice squad.

184
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: He was I'm sure he would have come to the

185
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: practice squad. He was very happy here. But what an

186
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 3: opportunity for him to go to Seattle and uh and

187
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: you know, and be on the fifty three. So I

188
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 3: texted him really happy for him, and you know, we'll

189
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 3: be pulling for him.

190
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbaugh. And one of the

191
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: players who made that fifty three man roster was wide

192
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: receiver at Tylan Wallace. It was a bit nervous for him.

193
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: He talked about that today, but he was clearly fired

194
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: up to be on the team and staying in Baltimore.

195
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: Was there any sense of the league when the main

196
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 2: official or you just played but say I'm both got No,

197
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: for sure, always a sense of relief when you know

198
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: they put that out. You know it's in this business,

199
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: I like, you know, you never know. So I definitely

200
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: very blessed and very honored to, you know, be here

201
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: and be a part of the roster.

202
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: For sure.

203
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 7: How did you feel like you're playing your best of

204
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 7: all since you've for sure, I think over the past

205
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 7: couple of years, I feel like I've really just grown

206
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 7: as a player as a person and really got to

207
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 7: understand what the game is like and really just lock

208
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 7: in this year and know what I had to do

209
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 7: coming in and I just feel I feel better than

210
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,959
Speaker 7: ever for sure after.

211
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 5: The Washington and used any reference kind of changing up

212
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 5: pretty good, a little busus offseason. Can you go into

213
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 5: a little more you tell us as to watch that move.

214
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. I mean obviously going being in the

215
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: Leaf for the past two years, you know, you kind

216
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: of get you obviously, you get an idea of how

217
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: things work, how the game is played, how much faster

218
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: the game is played, how things are ran. So you know,

219
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: coming in, I knew what I had to do in

220
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: the off season, so you know, obviously I got a

221
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: new trainer with UH chadmar with more strength out UH Frisco.

222
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: He has a new facility now, but just kind of

223
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 2: switching up little things like that, getting my old high

224
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: school receiver coach, getting drills in earlier on in the

225
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: off season, just doing stuff and just knowing what type

226
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: of shape I had to be in, and just knowing

227
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: how much work I had to put in to come

228
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: and pr UH perform during the season.

229
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: I don't think you ever feel secure in the NFL.

230
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 4: I mean, it's proven that no job is safe, But

231
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 4: was it extremely difficult or stressful to see kind of

232
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 4: off season moves and the names that were coming in

233
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: here and then kind of knowing when you look at

234
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 4: the roster there's not much rooms.

235
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big competition.

236
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, always. I mean you see uh them bringing

237
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: guys in. You know, obviously that means there's only so

238
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: many spots left. So that's always you know, a little

239
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 2: bit stressful. But I also look at it as a challenge,

240
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, you know, this game is

241
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 2: all everything's competitive, so you know, it's never hurt might

242
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: come out and compete. So I think that's that was

243
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: a good thing, you know, just for me to be

244
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 2: able to realize that and come out and know what

245
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: I had to do and just come out and just

246
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: compete with everybody.

247
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: How big it back?

248
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 5: Do you think special teams was some equation and what

249
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 5: do you respect there? Uh?

250
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: I think it was a huge factor for me. You know,

251
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm very honored to you know, be able to be

252
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: able to be on such a great special team program,

253
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 2: just like the Ravens are. So I think that was

254
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: a huge help for me, you know, and obviously I'll

255
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: continue to take pride in that and being on all

256
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: special teams and just uh, you know, just keep it going,

257
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: change nothing from what I've been doing. I've been on

258
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: special teams since I got drafted here, so I planned

259
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: to continue that throughout my whole career.

260
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 8: Was how to building up the right to talk about

261
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 8: the LASH so self is involved with other trainers. Is

262
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 8: that something that you took in the focus about the

263
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 8: off season just working on your special team's ability? Is

264
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 8: that something that you can necessarily train for individuals?

265
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of more of like for an

266
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: individual thing, you know what I mean, especially with certain

267
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: positions that you play on special teams. But definitely was

268
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 2: a factor that I knew going into it. I needed to,

269
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: you know, probably step step it up there for sure,

270
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: and you know, just keep keep working at it and

271
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: keep doing what I was doing. So I knew going

272
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: into it. I don't know if really special teams is

273
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: the thing you a lot of guys can really work

274
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: on in the off season, but you know, I think

275
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 2: it was a thing that you would definitely know. I

276
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 2: knew that I had to definitely be great at to

277
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: be a to make the team. For sure.

278
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 10: There are guys like the Raven I think least the

279
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 10: guy who is known for his commitment to special team.

280
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 11: Can you be proud to be a guy who makes his.

281
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 2: Way in the NFL for you can, oh for sure.

282
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 2: I Mean, like I said, there's three phases of the game.

283
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: You know, special teams is one of those phases. So

284
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean it's just it's just as important as offensive defense.

285
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: So I mean I would be just happy to be

286
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: on the field at all. So I mean that, you know,

287
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 2: that doesn't matter me offense, defense, special teams. I mean,

288
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: as long as I'm on the field playing football and

289
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: just competing, you know, I'm happy.

290
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 8: What's it been like sharing a meeting room with Odell Beckham?

291
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: It's crazy. So, yeah, that's crazy. That's great. So when

292
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 2: he first got here, it was kind of like, oh wow,

293
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean, I remember watching this

294
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: dude like growing up and now like I'm his teammate.

295
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: So it's crazy. Definitely, be you know, teammates with guys

296
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 2: like that and being able to you know, pick their

297
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 2: brains and just see how they work, and you know,

298
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: just hearing their past experiences and just learning from them.

299
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 6: What's something that.

300
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I mean, uh, just a few things more

301
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 2: just football related stuff, just kind of like how we

302
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: run certain routes and stuff. Like that. So it's crazy.

303
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: Like last year we actually had a route named called Odell,

304
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: So it's crazy to come, you know, actually have him

305
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: here and be like, all right, so you know, that's

306
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: that's his route, so we ask him how he runs

307
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: that and different things he does the versus different looks,

308
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 2: so it's it's awesome to have a guy like that

309
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 2: our team. Okay, what's that, No, it's kind of that

310
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: that end zone corner I guess you could call it.

311
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: We called that a kind of an Odell route, so

312
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 2: we kind of good to be able to pick his

313
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: brain about that route for sure.

314
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 6: What's that?

315
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: We called it like an end zone corner route, kind of.

316
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 6: Like all the guys y a Adel do you guys?

317
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's great. I mean obviously with guys like

318
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 2: Nelly and having Odell, like those older VET guys, you know,

319
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: it's pretty great.

320
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 9: You know.

321
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: I feel like the meeting room is pretty it's fun,

322
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: but also we're we're focused at the same time, you

323
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: know what I mean. We're we're getting in doing what

324
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: we're supposed to do, learning we're supposed to be learning,

325
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: and we're also having fun. So it's really good to

326
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,959
Speaker 2: have those older guys, like I was saying earlier, just

327
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: to be able to pick their brains and then having

328
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: that knowledge of just reading defenses and just reading corner

329
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 2: play and stuff like that. So it's great to have

330
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 2: those older guys.

331
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 10: The conversation you know, you made the team or was

332
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 10: there nothing set that?

333
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: So there's yeah, there was actually nothing said. So I figured,

334
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 2: if you know, nobody said anything, I I figured I

335
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: was good.

336
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 8: Four o'clock I was.

337
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: I was waiting. I sat in my car and I

338
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: wait till it hit four, and I was like, alright,

339
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm good. So then and then I drove home, So

340
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: I was good for sure.

341
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: I was.

342
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 2: That was part right outside for sure with Lamar.

343
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 12: And the past years and before you got here week

344
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 12: one this offense, so it's just not waited long to

345
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 12: get going, like what is about you Lamar or lock

346
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 12: in and really get that that head start on the season.

347
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 6: Oh dah.

348
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's it's great, especially and then

349
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:46,839
Speaker 2: having all the guys that the guys that we have

350
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: just on the whole team in general, I mean, we

351
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: can do great things. So I think having everybody locked in,

352
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: everybody you know, just really focuses in and knowing what

353
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: we have the capability to do this season, I think

354
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna be great and be awesome.

355
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 5: Both up Oklahoma State roots. Did that help you strike

356
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 5: up a report with them at all a little bit?

357
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know we could go back and kind of

358
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: he was there before I was there, but definitely, you know,

359
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 2: brings up some stories or some things that you know

360
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 2: that he he was. Uh, a lot of the coaches

361
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 2: that were with Monkey when I was there, So when

362
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: I went there, all the coaches that coach with Monken

363
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: were still there. So it was great to you know,

364
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 2: kind of talk to them a little big and the

365
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: idea cause before when when he first got hired, I

366
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: talked to them. They were telling to get Monk's a

367
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 2: great guy. You know, get to know him. He's awesome.

368
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: So it was, Uh, it's nice to have that Oklahoma

369
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: State love, you know back in the back in this building.

370
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 12: Do you think that his rival is part.

371
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: Of reason and that has helped you maybe to teach

372
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: the game, but you know, just kind of keep trying

373
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: to do your guests right now?

374
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Is that I think? I think the way I mean,

375
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: I I would say just the you know, really the

376
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: the kind of want to throw the balls kind of help.

377
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: And I also I feel like ties into Oklahoma State

378
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: as well. You know, it's kind of we were air

379
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: raid offense. So I feel like that, you know, bringing

380
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: in a guy like Monk and knowing that that's his

381
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: intentions definitely wanted me make me want to step it

382
00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: up and be like, I want to be a part

383
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: of offense like that. I want to be able to,

384
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 2: you know, be a part where we're throwing the ball

385
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: down the field and you know, receivers are just making plays.

386
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: That was wide receiver Tylan Wallace. And another important player

387
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 1: who made the fifty three man roster was Arthur Molett.

388
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: He's a veteran cornerback and nickel back who'ld be a

389
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: really important piece of this defense. And he's a former

390
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: Steeler as well, and he talked today about joining the

391
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Ravens after spending the last two years in Pittsburgh.

392
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 8: Martha, did you have a formal conversation on making the

393
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 8: fifty three men roster?

394
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 6: No formal conversation.

395
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 9: I'm just honestly blessed because I didn't play any preseason games, right, Uh,

396
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 9: Like I said, I'm just blessed to be here. You know,

397
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 9: obviously I'm a tough guy. I kind of fit this scheme.

398
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 9: I like the way that their defense is set up.

399
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 9: I think I'm going to thrive in it. So I

400
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 9: just can't wait to get out there and play. Honestly,

401
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 9: see another color.

402
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: An opportunity at corner, especially early in the year with

403
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow than that bringing out, how how do you feel

404
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: like you are a stepping playing right away.

405
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 9: Or it's called upon uh corner. I don't think they're

406
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 9: gonna be putting at the outside. Think I'm gonna be

407
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 9: base more on a nickel in the inside. That's why

408
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 9: I make my money out obviously. But uh, I'm ready

409
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 9: to go week one. Whatever they need me to do,

410
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 9: I'm gonna cut our list off and get ready to

411
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 9: do it. So I'm just great for the opportunity and

412
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 9: get ready to play and see another color?

413
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 12: Was it hand trading injury?

414
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 8: Frustrating that you're you know getting as a nature of

415
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 8: its real obviously good.

416
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 9: Position r Yeah, man, it was definitely uh frustrating, and

417
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 9: uh that's why I was just talking with Harbor about.

418
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 9: You know, I'm just grateful for them to honestly believe

419
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 9: in my talents and the way I play. I learned

420
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 9: to playbook pretty fast. Uh, it's pretty simple. I'm a

421
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 9: downhill guy, aggressive uh nickelback, So I think I fit

422
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 9: the scheme perfectly. And you know, I'm just ready to

423
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 9: obviously just show my skill set and uh help this

424
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 9: team uh be successful this season.

425
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 10: Earth of you're nowhere near the former dealer to be.

426
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 11: But was there kind of a curiosity how it feel

427
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 11: when you first on you and you've played so many

428
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 11: big games against them over the years and a in

429
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 11: a kind of a hard for arrival, right, do you

430
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 11: have any kind of speaking to notions about how it would.

431
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 9: You like to kind of come in this build there,

Speaker 9: how hard these guys working, how hard you know it

435
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 9: was to beat you guys.

436
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: Uh obviously you know. And there's just the culture.

437
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 9: That's what I wanted to see, what the culture was like,

438
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 9: just looking at it from the opposite side, right, and

439
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,080

Speaker 8: You asked the Stillers to let.

457
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,680

Speaker 9: knowing my skill set, knowing what I can bring to

463
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 9: the table, and not just trusting in my work in

468
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 9: I know, I I think I I earned that, you know,

469
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 9: and Baltimore gave me that, which was surprisingly that it

470
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 9: was a rival routine, right, so obviously they believe in me,

471
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 9: and that that just shows that just makes me feel

472
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 9: good about the work I put in an off seasons.

473
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: You know, obviously when the Ravens called, and what was

474
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: your first.

475
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: Reaction any.

476
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 9: Honestly, it wasn't any reaction. I'm a guy that uh

477
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 9: bounced around a lot of my career. You know, I'm

478
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 9: undrafted guy, just ready for any opportunity at hand. And

479
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 9: when they called, I was familiar with this division, you know.

480
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 9: And you know I had some pretty good success against

481
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 9: the Ravens when I played at Pittsburgh. But you know,

482
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 9: now that I'm here, I'm just focused on just being

483
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 9: better every day, getting healthy and helping his team win.

484
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 9: That's all I'm about right now, just being a team

485
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 9: player and just helping all I can. Did you want

486
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 9: to say, honestly, bro, whatever you know, God put me.

487
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying.

488
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 6: I'm just grateful for the opportunity. Like I said, I'm just.

489
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 9: I work hard man, you know, as long as I'm

490
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 9: on the roster helping the team and being successful. That

491
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 9: that's all I can you know, I can uh ask.

492
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 6: For opportunity play against the game like that. It's circled

493
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 6: on my calendar for sure.

494
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 10: This team is known for. You probably experienced special teams

495
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 10: where Steam's known for. You've played against them a lot.

496
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 10: When you go out there and you see having time

497
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 10: and devotion to detail and all that they put in

498
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 10: special teams, that's pretty much confirmed what you suspected.

499
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, one hundred percent.

500
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 7: Man.

501
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 9: We start everything one hundred miles per hour with special

502
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 9: teams when we start practice.

503
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 6: So that just shows how much they that is. You know,

504
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 6: that is uh, that is really special here. A lot

505
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 6: of teams don't do.

506
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 2: That, you know.

507
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 9: They they wait, they they they kind of put it

508
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 9: on the back burner. But you know, special teams is

509
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 9: part of the three phases of a successful team, you know,

510
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 9: so it all has to work hand in hand.

511
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 6: So smart, smart team.

512
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: That was defensive back Arthur Mallett. You also heard from

513
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,040
