0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>what those two groups do for our country. They are

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 2>the heroes, the sacrifices the families make when they're loved.

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.400

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, very patient with Tyler. He's having a great

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>camp and and some of those young guys need need

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:13.040
<v Speaker 2>a little more work anyway, So it kind of works

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>out for US.

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:16.720
<v Speaker 4>Coach Joe Only Davis.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.720
<v Speaker 5>Guy's back injuries over the past two seasons.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 2>But I really can't the next knocked down one hand yesterday.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 2>If he stays healthy, we can contribute to the secondary, right,

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean he can. He's he's been here, he's he

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 2>knows what he's doing. He's very talented, he's playing, he's playing.

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's always played very good football, and uh

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 2>he's had nicks and things like that, kind of unfortunate situations.

0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>But man, we expect him to have a really good year.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think he's playing like a starter, and

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>he'll be on special teams and he'll be playing in

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.080
<v Speaker 2>our secondary and packages and expecting to have a great year.

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 6>As his gold in front of early special teams. I

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 6>grow up.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean yeah, I can't say there's no concern.

0:01:58.240 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, we want to have all our

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 2>guys out here. And he's got a nagging, you know,

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 2>soft tissue lower leg deal. He's had those in the past.

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 2>It's something he does deal with. I think he'll be

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 2>fine and get plenty of reps. He's had so many

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 2>return reps generally, But you would want him out here

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and these this new deal, getting a feel for the

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>timing of it.

0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 6>Sure, John, We're gonna talk to Brent Irvin in a

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:19.480
<v Speaker 6>little bit. When you think back to the beginning of

0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 6>his career, I mean he missed most of like three

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 6>of his first four seasons and to be playing all

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.799
<v Speaker 6>these years later, what kind of lesson is that for?

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:29.400
<v Speaker 6>You know, whether you're talking about Armor Davis, David Ajabo,

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 6>guys who've had some injuries early in their career, early

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 6>Cam right now, sure, just that they can overcome that

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 6>and still have a long, productive career.

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Such a great point. I'm I'm gonna start using him

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.720
<v Speaker 2>as an example for those guys because it's a perfect point.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:43.919
<v Speaker 2>And I can remember him right over there. We were

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>doing an inside run drill against the forty nine ers.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 2>We had the joint practices all those years ago, and

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>he tore his acl right at the end of practice.

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>He's just like, he's so heartbreaking and missed that whole year.

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 2>We had high hopes for him coming out. We thought

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>he was a an odd front defensive end in the

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>in the old Pittsburgh Steeler kind of realm, you know,

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>like the Brett Keezels of the world, and and he's

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 2>turned out to be just that. You know, he's just

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>that kind of a player. He plays so well, But

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>those first couple of years were tough, and here he

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 2>is now he's got a testimony, uh you know, as

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>a result of all the tests he's been through.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.639
<v Speaker 7>Well, I guess that's another guy found in that situation

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 7>of being.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.799
<v Speaker 3>Injured beginnis career, Ardarius Washington, you were replusting.

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 8>Them after many here now you guys have Eddi Johnson.

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 6>But how are you kind of looking at the situation

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.320
<v Speaker 6>at or the same day one of these themes for medicines.

0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>He's in Champa, right, He's a great point, you know,

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 2>ar Darius is is definitely played at the highest level.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>He's I think bringing Eddie Jackson is one of these

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>things that you just wouldn't expect as a possibility to happen,

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and so it just makes us better. But Ardarius is

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 2>very capable of going after playing great football in the secondary,

0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure he will this year. He's just a

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>really good football player. Love his energy, his athleticism is

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>off the charts. He's tough as nails. It's uh, he's

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>not gonna He's not gonna disappoint anybody when he's on

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the field. John.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 7>Same being with ar Darius.

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 9>Last year he was about the fourth choice at slot corner,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 9>but it seemed like he really hadn't played everyone there

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 9>before him. Do you see a possibility place either slack

0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 9>corner or stayety.

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>He absolutely he can go down in there and play slot.

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:21.080
<v Speaker 2>We haven't put him there much. He's played there a

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>little bit a lot in the past, a little bit

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>in the spring. I know he can go in there

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 2>if we needed him to. Just right now, we've got

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.120
<v Speaker 2>so many guys you're trying to get those guys the reps.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.280
<v Speaker 2>But I think that's kind of indicative of our depth

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:35.119
<v Speaker 2>back there. It kind of demonstrates it more curiosity.

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.520
<v Speaker 4>We're about on those two weeks for the camp. I

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:40.560
<v Speaker 4>don't think there's been a vet day for going now.

0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Is that just how the schedules work and the off

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 4>days built in and taken you know, shortened exerted practices or.

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think we're kind of building that stuff in

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 2>individually by guy. You know, we haven't felt the need

0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to give guys all days off, you know, and we

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 2>haven't really done too much of that except for the

0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 2>really the really you know, the ray lewis ti older

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.719
<v Speaker 2>type guys when they get to that stage. Uh, And

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 2>we got you know, our older guys. You know they're

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 2>pretty young. You know Rose pretty young.

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.479
<v Speaker 2>You got Kyle and you see he took, he's taken.

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>He had a couple of days, and he's taking fewer

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>reps here and there. So we kind of, I would say,

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>probably we're more doing it with reps than we are

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>with days at this point.

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 7>Probably John two weeks into it. Now, what's two things?

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 7>What are you sort of the most at least specifically,

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 7>whether it's tight ends off of whatever. And then secondly,

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 7>what's the challenge of when you do get to the

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 7>back end of all these practices. Obviously next week's of

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:38.240
<v Speaker 7>game week to probably a little more normal build up

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.239
<v Speaker 7>for you guys. But but what's the challenge I guess.

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, we'll still be in camp mode all the

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>way through.

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 2>In terms of our preparation, it's it's situational football install

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>We'll be working trying to get reps in all things

0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:51.479
<v Speaker 2>that we're gonna have to do throughout the course of

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>the season. We won't be getting ready for the game

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>per se. Uh. But and and so it really doesn't.

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 2>The mindset really doesn't change, is camp mode. You know,

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 2>through all these games, we will be thinking about yardage

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>and speeds and rest and different things to get our

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 2>guys ready to roll when they need to be ready

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 2>to roll. Whether it's certain guys for the preseason games,

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.320
<v Speaker 2>certain guys for the regular season. Well, most pleased with

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.720
<v Speaker 2>probably is just the mindset of the team. I love

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the mindset of the team. How hard they work, how

0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.720
<v Speaker 2>good their attitude is, how how up for anything they are,

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 2>and how hard they practice, and how locked in they've been.

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:29.960
<v Speaker 3>His camps so far, and.

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 6>What do you envision the next steps game for him?

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I think I've said before I expect his

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>next step to be a breakout season. You know, he's

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 2>he's a dominant guy in there right now, and whenever

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.920
<v Speaker 2>somebody blocks him, I just think it's like a it's

0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 2>a superhuman feed almost when somebody blocks him in there,

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 2>he's like a superhuman player. So we'll see if it

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 2>pans out in the games. It's I know it's a

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 2>high tag to put on them, but let's go for it.

0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Another defensive Lindman that seems to he's really stitting out

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is Robert Washington. Seen him improve his game from last

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>year take it into this year.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Broaderck's always been very steady player. I think he's

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 2>really he's up his strength levels ridiculous. I mean he's

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>so strong and I think he's a really good job.

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 2>Was like his his twitchiness, you know, his ability to

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of tear off the blocks and move laterally really quickly.

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>It's done a really nice job with that. He's playing

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:18.760
<v Speaker 2>at a high level.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.440
<v Speaker 4>It seems like we have to ask you kick off

0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 4>rush every time we meet. But did you learn anything

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 4>from I have even got a chance to review the

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 4>film on how they're handled, and is there anything that

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 4>surprised you?

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 2>No? Actually, I mean it looked about like we thought

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 2>it would look. It was pretty, you know, tough to

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>block those guys, but the field position is going to

0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 2>be there unless you just bobble the ball or the

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 2>ball gets on the ground, then it's gonna be a

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>problem for the kick return team. The one thing I

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>did jump out at me was it's confusing for the fans,

0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>like where does the ball go? You know, if you

0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 2>kick it out of bounds, where does it go? What

0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>about after a penalty you kick it out of bounds.

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>What about if it's in the end zone when it

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.040
<v Speaker 2>lands there? What if it rolls into the end zone?

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Where does the ball go? All that stuff is like,

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 2>he got the ford, you got the thirty, you got

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>the twenty five, you got the twenty. That's confusing to me.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 2>So we'll all get it. But you know, I want

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:09.920
<v Speaker 2>to make sure we either educate the fans and that's

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I understand why the ball is being spotted where it's at,

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 2>or you know, they still could tweak those things and

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 2>simplify that a little bit too. So that jumped out

0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.120
<v Speaker 2>of me just from watching the TV copy of it.

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 5>Moving back to the Travis for a second, do you

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.760
<v Speaker 5>see him still as a guy who can kind of

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.720
<v Speaker 5>either be a nose or a three technique situationally? I mean,

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 5>does he not really one.

0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Or the other nose three technique or four four I

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>or five technique? Yeah, he can play anywhere in there. Absolutely.

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Next up is Travis Jones, who's gotten off to a

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 1>hot start this season. The Ravens expect big things from him.

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Here's Travis.

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.360
<v Speaker 4>Playing a big behind.

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.800
<v Speaker 3>So just go out there putting my best be four

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.480
<v Speaker 3>and just uh improve them off the things I did

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 3>last year being consistent with it.

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Where do you.

0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Feel like your past rush game has gone?

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 4>How have you improved that aspect.

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Of your game?

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 3>For me, just having a uh A rush plan, a

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.439
<v Speaker 3>rush plan in mind and executing it all there ready

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.840
<v Speaker 3>through and and not panicing and confer just going straight to.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.240

<v Speaker 6>it's been the same guys. I mean, how how does

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 6>that help you as a young play out?

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Yeah, for a young player going to my third year,

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I only have m O. Only having one guy leave

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.160

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Brent.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 5>If Travis wants to see a model of looking me

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 5>a breakout as a defensive lineman league he hasn't here

0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 5>each year.

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 2>Is that has Has that been helpful to sort of

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:38.760
<v Speaker 2>watch him? Yeah?

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh? Since I got here, Matik been a big uh,

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.559
<v Speaker 3>big role model for me. I've been looking up looking

0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:45.959
<v Speaker 3>up to him for the past two years and seeing

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 3>what he did last year because gave me more division. See,

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 3>I wanna follow his footsteps.

0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell us about your workouts that you deal

0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 1>with Robert Washings look in Atlanta in the year and

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 1>how much stronger are you as compared to the last year?

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, last year, I've always been one of the strongest,

0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 3>but just building off that, trying to work on my

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 3>flexibility against things like that to approve my been When

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 3>it come to pass rush, it wasn't.

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 4>Really like, hey, I'm gonna go get strong.

0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:12.520
<v Speaker 3>It's about the flexibility and stuff.

0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 9>Now, which do you appreciate the Ravens that now they

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.360
<v Speaker 9>do stunts and twist games on the inside later talk.

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 4>A little bit about that.

0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah. Uh with coach Dennis coming in, he got

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.160
<v Speaker 3>his uh in Chuck, they just they masterminds at it,

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 3>putting us in the right positions and make plays.

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 2>Before you know, and mostly.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 1>Nose tackle kind of pain yourself.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:34.480
<v Speaker 9>And it's working behind legel.

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>But now coach Carvel said, hey, you can play a

0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:37.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of different positions.

0:11:37.880 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 7>Is that an off season focus for you and it?

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.640
<v Speaker 7>What's your view pointing on playing along the line?

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like towards the end of the last season,

0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 3>I started playing more three tech and defensive defensive en

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.480
<v Speaker 3>so I'm pretty comfortable playing out there. Yeah, I'm ready.

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 4>I supposed to have been like competing against you know,

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 4>some of the interior offensive buying guys andrews in particular

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 4>literators impressions.

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, going against Lennon Brom you know, he went to

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 3>the Pro Bow last year, so he won the best

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 3>centers in the league, and going going against him every

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 3>day gonna get me better before he's uh strong, He's strong,

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:11.920
<v Speaker 3>real strong. Aggressive, so and you're just gonna keep working

0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 3>every day and make each other better.

0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Wondering how how do you handle how him?

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Any hype right, like a lot of people are coaches,

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.360
<v Speaker 1>players and what teamates are saying. Man, I think Travis

0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 1>is really going to break out the year, right, Like,

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 1>coming from Connecticut a programmer, there wasn't a lot of

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.559
<v Speaker 1>hype around the program what not, and kind of.

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Being never looked in the draft.

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>How do you deal with that?

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>How do you handle him?

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I feel like hype I expect a lot for myself,

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 3>so when people do the same for me, it's really

0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.400
<v Speaker 3>not no extra motivation or anything for me. I just

0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 3>go out there and put my head down at work.

0:12:43.600 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And lastly, it's big urb Brent Urban talking about the

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Ravens defensive line.

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 4>That people coached, playing a couple of former coaches. You

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 4>want to stay here in Baltimore?

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean, you know, Baltimore just feels like home

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:03.719
<v Speaker 8>for me as far as football goes. You know, I

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 8>have like so much familiarity with everyone in the building.

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.000
<v Speaker 8>It's been a great fit for me football wise too.

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 8>So you know, I obviously appreciated the interest and have

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.960
<v Speaker 8>a ton of respect for those guys, But you know,

0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 8>my heart was here and it's made a ton of

0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 8>sense for me to stay.

0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 6>Remember just talking to John about this. But the start

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.160
<v Speaker 6>of your career, I mean, you miss basically three of

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 6>your first four years or big portions of them. Could

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 6>you have ever thought at that point in time that

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 6>you'd still be playing all these years later and end

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.800
<v Speaker 6>up having the career You've had?

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 8>No chance, man, it was. It was tough times, a

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.960
<v Speaker 8>lot of dark days and a lot to fight through.

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:43.160
<v Speaker 8>And I think guys like trell Suggs Marshall Yonda, you know,

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 8>they dealt with a bunch of injuries throughout their career

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 8>and they were kind of there to lift me up

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 8>and to be like a benchmark on like what to

0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 8>work on coming off of injury, you know, kind of

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.640
<v Speaker 8>how to have the right mindset like going into the

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 8>whole thing. So there's a lot of sitting back and

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.040
<v Speaker 8>watching and you know, trying to figure out how I

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 8>fit in and that sort of thing. But you know,

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.960
<v Speaker 8>relying on those vets and stuff like that helped me

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 8>a ton, you know, and allowed me to get through

0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:08.560
<v Speaker 8>that and you know, turn that into a career. You know,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.240
<v Speaker 8>it was just one year at a time, and thankful,

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.360
<v Speaker 8>thankfully worked out.

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 9>You've now been an NFL survivor by the definition I use.

0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 9>You've been in the NFL for a long time, playing

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:20.800
<v Speaker 9>on the fringe of the roster a lot of that,

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.880
<v Speaker 9>and obviously been on the handshake group for now several years.

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 9>What do you talk to other young players about in

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 9>terms of, you know, not everybody gets a big second

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 9>contract to you, somebody who would be able to on time.

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 8>That way, Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, just

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 8>being in the league as a privilege man, like every

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 8>single day you just got to relish it because you know,

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 8>you see so many guys in and out, and just

0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.640
<v Speaker 8>even looking at my class now it's you know, nobody's

0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 8>still around. So just just finding your own role, just

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:53.880
<v Speaker 8>appreciating it, appreciating it. Like as I get older, I've

0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.040
<v Speaker 8>started to be able to take like a seat back

0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 8>and really just appreciate, like how thankful I am to

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:01.160
<v Speaker 8>be here. You know, when you're young, you like noses

0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 8>on the grindstone. You're just like hustling every day, You're

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 8>stressed out all this stuff. And now I feel like

0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.560
<v Speaker 8>I can kind of be at a luxury to sit

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 8>back and just really appreciate things each and every day,

0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 8>and I think that's kind of helped me, like, you know,

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 8>continue to play well in this I guess, you know,

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:17.400
<v Speaker 8>later stretch of my career.

0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 5>Bro we've been kind of asking some of the more

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:24.240
<v Speaker 5>experienced lignment about Travis Jones. You've actually you've got to

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 5>see him grow. I mean, to your mind, what specific

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 5>thing has to happen for him to go from the

0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.239
<v Speaker 5>good player we saw last year maybe something.

0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 4>More than that.

0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.680
<v Speaker 8>I think he's doing it, man, Like you know, he's

0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 8>a guy like justin to look at you know, Broderick Washington,

0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 8>who works so so hard, Like he's up with them

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.560
<v Speaker 8>early in the morning working out. You know, he kind

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 8>of sees the model of what to do. And I

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 8>think you guys can see it. Like out in the field.

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 8>You know, his his like past rushing ability has gone

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 8>so so much better, the way he moves, his quickness,

0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:56.920
<v Speaker 8>his size, speed, just the way he thinks about the game.

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.120
<v Speaker 8>Now you know, it's at a more mature level where

0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.320
<v Speaker 8>you know, I think he's going to take off this year.

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.360
<v Speaker 8>You know, I think he's done a great job and

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.080
<v Speaker 8>looked at those guys how they've done it and Yeah,

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.600
<v Speaker 8>this guy's the limit for him. I think he's going

0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 8>to take a huge step this year.
