The title of the review 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: is fun times that the Castle, Ryan and Garrett's chemistry 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: paired with a Hope Crosby esk give and take make 33 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: for uh, Bob Hope and Neil Crosby.

Are we too old for this? 36 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: Too young for this? Usually the old jokes are right, 37 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: You're all right? But anyway, uh, pair with a give 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: and take make for it. Always enjoyable listening experience, knowledgeble insights, 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: in depth human interest pieces, and delightfully absurd mock drafts 40 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: with the with debatedly dubious outcomes. Yeah, it is a 41 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: lot of we do. We do need another draft. Please 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: keep the show fresh and fun. Keep up the great work, guys. 43 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: From a story and Mike, so thank you for the 44 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: review there. That's a good one. Also, we got a 45 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: great one from a West four seventy eight. It actually 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: came right before the season, UH, complimentary review And the 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: question was, do you, gentlemen, believe that the first four 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: games on our schedule test and we will see what 49 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: kind of team we will be for the rest of 50 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: the season based on the first four games. Three and one, Baby, 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 1: I do think that I believe that I do. Yeah, yeah, 52 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: I mean I think that you make a statement in 53 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: the first quarter about what kind of team you have, 54 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: both both uh, to the pundits and the fans and 55 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: both and to yourself. I think that like the Ravens 56 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: with a big team win in Pittsburgh, showed themselves, you 57 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: know what kind of team that they can be. It's 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: set the bar high for the expectations this year. I mean, 59 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: I think they all felt it, like we felt this 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 1: snowball effect over the whole off season that all right, 61 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: the offense is gonna be better, the defense is gonna 62 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: be good. You know, I think we can be good 63 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: this year. You know, I think you can, but it's 64 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: a lot of I think. And you know, then once 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: you start playing the games and you go to Pittsburgh 66 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: and you win a game like that, uh where you 67 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 1: really you really dominated. I mean the scoreboard I think 68 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: could have been even more lopsided. And uh that that 69 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: says something to yourself that you know what, we're a 70 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl contender this year. I'm gonna go ahead and 71 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: say it. I'm gonna say it anymore around here. It's 72 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: a super Bowl potential team plays reservations in Atlanta store. 73 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: Yeah that's I was just gonna say. It's like when 74 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: we had paid on the podcast after week one and 75 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: we were booking our our flights to Atlanta. Yeah, I'm 76 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: rebooking them, called them off. Yeah. So we're gonna get 77 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: into the Steelers a little bit more. But before we 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: do that, let's go ahead and welcome in our guest 79 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: to Marlin Humphrey. Marlan I said to you last week 80 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: as I was trying to negotiate with you to convince 81 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: you to do the podcast, that after you shut down 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown and beat the Steelers, that we had to 83 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: get you on the lounge. So you guys hold them 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: without a touchdown on forty seven yards in the second half. 85 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: I think that constitutes a nice a nice day. So 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: how's it feel? It was good? I was remember when 87 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: you said that, and I was like, do I want 88 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: to do this podcast? You know, how's a game gonna go? 89 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: There's some good encouraging words, and I was like, you know, 90 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind doing if we if we can kind 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: of eliminate him a little bit and beat the beat 92 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: the Steelers and win the game, well that's when we try, 93 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 1: you know, we like to pump up the guests before 94 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: we get you on here. So I wanted to give 95 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: I figured that was a good negotiating ploy. It's very 96 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,919 Speaker 1: good negotiating play. That went felt very special, So I was, 97 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: I was really excited about it. How how much did 98 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: that game mean to you from just a personal standpoint, 99 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: To go toe to toe with the Antonio, to shadow 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: him for large chunks of the game, you know where 101 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: where Wink says, you know what, Marlin, all right, you go, 102 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: this is your time, you know, and and to to 103 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: limit him the way you did, um it Devine felt good. 104 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: Um he's a great player. Of course we had you know, 105 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: a few double teams on him. A guy like that, 106 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: you can't just play single high with them all game. 107 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: But it's very nice to you to can see that. 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 1: You know, you're like, all right, I did have a 109 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: little help. Yeah, yeah, guy like that. I don't think 110 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: it's it's many guys in the league that can just 111 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, single high, just man and man have maybe 112 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,719 Speaker 1: we all love to feel the whole game. He's just 113 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: such a I think I've said before, he's a guy 114 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: that you can tell his his conditioning is above all. 115 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: He runs a route, runs another route, and he's just 116 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: running all over the field. So he guy that doesn't 117 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: get very tired. So sometimes you're gonna definitely need double 118 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: So I'm curious, like, going into the game during the week, 119 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: do you go to Wink and say I want to 120 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: give him let me shadow him or does it or 121 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: does he come to you and say we're gonna How 122 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: does that play out? Um? He um? Kind of the 123 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 1: beginning of the week, UM, I don't. I'm not sure 124 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: what went into it. But after we won last week, 125 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: Brandon Carr actually was like, this show week man, this 126 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: show week, Um, you're probably gonna be following him, So 127 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: here he had kind of already have about me thinking 128 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 1: I was gonna be like that, and then we were 129 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: in special Teams meeting and Jerry was like, are we 130 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: doing what we think I'm doing this week?

And 134 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't even know what they're doing me 135 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: this week. Um. It just kind of built up, built up, 136 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: hilt up, and then we got into meetings and um, 137 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Wink is like, um, do you like eighty four? And 138 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I can do it. And so it 139 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: was a challenge and uh trying to take it going 140 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: on strongly and I ever played it played out? Do 141 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: you when you basically someone says that, you know, Brandon 142 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 1: Carr says that leading up to the week and the 143 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: guys started asking you, and You're like, oh my god, 144 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: I gotta got it. You're probably feeling good about it, 145 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: and then Wink actually says like, all right, you got it? 146 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: How do you handle it? You find out that like, Okay, 147 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm actually doing this now. Yeah, that's that's basically how 148 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: it was. It was like, oh, yeah, I think I 149 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: do that. He like tells you like that's for sure 150 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: how we're doing it. Then you're like okay, Like it was. 151 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: I will say it kind of made things a little 152 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: bit you know, simpler, or usually you're go into a 153 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: game like Steelers, they play so many receivers, you know, 154 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: whether the switzer do you uh, the rookie thirteen You're 155 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: just like, I gotta watch all these guys, what do 156 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: they do? And you gotta notebook full of kind of 157 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: how they like to release. But maybe you just you 158 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: just kind of focus on him, even though he can 159 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: do so many different things, just kind of trying to 160 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: look at just one guy's tendency since you knew you 161 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: were probably be mashed up on him a lot. So 162 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: how many hours of film did you spend watching a 163 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: v Like, could you recite all of his news from 164 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: he's such a such a talented guy? Was, Um, there's 165 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: a lot of things that you know, I can't really 166 00:07:55,040 --> 00:08:00,679 Speaker 1: can't really tell all they details. Um, there there's definitely 167 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: a lot of I watched a lot of film on him. 168 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: I will say that, Um, I usually don't, you know, 169 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: watch that much, but when it's I used just kind 170 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: of watch it as a whole. But when you're just 171 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: watching one guy, you watch a lot kind of differently 172 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: than what you would watch me. You're just going over 173 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: the three or four guys. So you kind of watch 174 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: just film of even last year's game and Jimmy how 175 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: he played him, and you kind of just watch other 176 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: corners have played them, just to figure out, you know, 177 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: what kind of tennesseees and things you'd like to do 178 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: when you know, depending on the corner. So a lot 179 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: of different a lot of films watched, and I think 180 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: it paid off. A last question on this unless you 181 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: have one, but my last year, what do you think 182 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: when Ben starts scrambling out and he turns up Antonio 183 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: turns up the field and you're like, oh, hell, that's 184 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: that's actually having that touchdown on the hitch. And then 185 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: he's asked what makes him solely is his ability to 186 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: just run around and then by the time you you know, 187 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: you think you're right there with them, and you look 188 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: at quarterback second he's already two steps like gone from it, 189 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: and it's just like he's he's just I think that's 190 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: one of the things that makes Ben and maybe that 191 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: connection so strong. It's it's not always what Ben is 192 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: doing in the pocket, it is that that extra timing 193 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: of him step on the defender and then throwing the 194 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: ball still just on a rope. So he's just so 195 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: quick out of the out of the scrambl his his 196 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: scrambled drill is I would say best. Maybe that that 197 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: they're scrambling drill is probably the best ever. So it's 198 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: definitely tough when um it's hard enough to guard him, 199 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: but it's seeming harder when you gotta work on the 200 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: scrambled drill with him. So going into this game, I 201 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: think that kind of from a national perspective, people looked 202 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: at the Ravens defense and felt like, it's good, but 203 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 1: can they do it against Pittsburgh? We know how the 204 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: last couple of years have gone there like, and then 205 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: you go out there and you answer that question in 206 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: a big way by completely shutting them out in the 207 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: second half. So, are you guys feeling pretty good and 208 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: are you comfortable with basically being in the spotlight now 209 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: terms of being talked about as one of the best 210 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: defenses in the league. Um, I think I think we're 211 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: pretty um, you know, okay with that. Um. I know 212 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't really think, you know, just 213 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: based on what's happened in the past with the Steelers, 214 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: could we you know, kind of match their their offense. 215 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: And I mean because once they get going, they're going. 216 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: And I remember, um, I was on the sideline and 217 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: it seemed like, you know, the game was going really 218 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: well late in the game, but in back of my head, 219 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: I was still thinking of, you know, last year, and 220 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: even though I wasn't here, that that Christmas game with 221 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: Big and it's it's just you can't with with the Steelers. 222 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: You can't let up. I told the guys, like, when 223 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 1: we've been here before, this game is even though it 224 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: seems like we might win this knowing what they have 225 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: over there and Big Ben and they be and Juju 226 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: and all those guys, this game is far from over. 227 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: So you kind of can't never really let up. Even 228 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: when that last drive and I'm like, R, they gotta 229 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 1: get two scores, I'm still thinking, you never know with them, 230 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: so just go into it. And now I think I 231 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: think we're feeling really confident after that when I think that, 232 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 1: can you know that that boost it gave us can 233 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: last us for the rest of the season. You brought 234 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,079 Speaker 1: up Brandon car and you know, he's the guy. I've 235 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 1: had some really good conversations with him in terms of 236 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: his streak, you know, being a starter every single game 237 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: of his career, and he concede. He's like, you know what, 238 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 1: like with Jimmy coming back, I know it might be 239 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: my time. It might be my time for it to end, 240 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: you know, like Marlin's that good, you know, like he 241 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: he talks about that. And obviously the three of you 242 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: are all going to play a lot, so it doesn't 243 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: really matter. But how is he What kind of conversations 244 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: have you guys had, how much has he kind of 245 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: guided you as a veteran leader, and how do you 246 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: approach that, you know, potentially supplanting him in the streak? 247 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Um Man Bi carb had had a lot of different 248 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: um conversations and just mainly just talking ball. Um. There's 249 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: a lot of things that I guess when I would 250 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: play at Bama, we didn't it was mainly always at 251 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: the line. We never really got all and things like that. 252 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: And he just told me little things here and there 253 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: that have really made me see the game as more 254 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,199 Speaker 1: of a whole, you know, as it's more of an 255 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: elite corner Um, And it's just it's made me see 256 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: see the game a lot different, just because the offense 257 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: is mainly route combinations and certain things that are gonna happen. 258 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: If a guy usually goes to the flat used to 259 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: be a slam, they're just different teams of what they 260 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: like to do. Who Sometimes we'll be sitting in team meeting, 261 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: who you know show me his iPad and UM show 262 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: me something and I'll be okay, and I'll just he 263 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: just sees things that you can tell he's been playing 264 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: for a long time and done it at such a 265 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: high level of being that he's been a starter for 266 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: so long. And it's just he's definitely helped me out 267 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: a lot as far as seeing the game, not just 268 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 1: from I gotta cover this guy, but if he's a lineup, 269 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,120 Speaker 1: dis split, help yourself by line it up outside and 270 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: things like that. So he's definitely been a guy that's 271 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: always been in my ear, and UM provided a lot 272 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: of help. So I think the cliche answer that a 273 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: lot of people will give is when you have a 274 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: guy like Jimmy coming back, and the question is how 275 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 1: that rotaste is gonna look, It's like it's a good 276 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 1: problem to have, all right, that's we'll probably hear that 277 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: a lot this I have a feeling, um well, I'm curious, 278 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: like in all honesty, behind the scenes, is that a 279 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: conversation that, like how did the coaches approach that? Do 280 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: you have conversations with Jimmy and Brandon together, Like how 281 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: did you guys, both from a player and from a 282 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: coach to player standpoint and handle that. It's a good 283 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: problem to have. I'm not I'm not sure. Last year 284 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: it was. Last year it was kind of just whenever. 285 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: There was never a discussion of all right, Marlon, you're 286 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: gonna go in this series. In this series, it was 287 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: basically whenever, because it's like, all right, you're going the 288 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,319 Speaker 1: next series. And that was fine for me. Um, as 289 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: long as you know I'm out there, it doesn't really 290 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: matter what I'm doing. I think. I think, um, my 291 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: freshman year at Batman and I read shirted, I'm not 292 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: playing at all. It's one of the things that I 293 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: didn't enjoy. I never thought I would start my freshman 294 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: year at corner or anything, but I just wanted to 295 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: be on the field where that was on field goal block, 296 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: you know, part return kickoff, It didn't really matter for me. 297 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: But not playing at all, I think kind of does 298 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: something and it makes you feel like man like. It 299 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how small a big your role can be. 300 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: Just having doing something that can contribute to the team 301 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 1: is always favorable. So however away it goes, it doesn't 302 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: really matter to me. I'll be thankful for whatever opportunity. 303 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: But how much do you want to be the guy? Now? 304 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: You know? I mean the guy gets the Antonio Brown assignment? 305 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: You know what I mean that that's kind of a 306 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: telling thing. How much do you want to be like? 307 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: All right, you know what? I want to be used 308 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: in the elite corner, just how Jimmy has been. Uh, 309 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: you know how much does that plan into your mind? Um? 310 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Doesn't plan to my mind too much. I think you 311 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: can be the guy. Um, whether you get a few snaps, 312 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 1: get a lot of snaps, sure, getting on at all. 313 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: It's just it's kind of I think being the guy's 314 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: kind of just the way you hold yourself and approach 315 00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: your work and you know, come to business um and 316 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: practice and meetings and take care of your body. It's 317 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: it's a lot of things that just don't show on 318 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: sun days. And that going to being the guy. So 319 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: whatever way it is, being the guys, definitely, you know, 320 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: it's like being the guys like when I used to 321 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: watch guy's highlight tapes, um, back in high school and college. 322 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: You know, you kids are probably you know, watching the 323 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: top corners in this league film and highlights. So that's like, 324 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: that's what I think of when it comes to being 325 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: the guy you want to be in the YouTube highlighted. 326 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: That is literally I think that's how I watched your 327 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: college tape Like this guy, Um, it's like, you know 328 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: that's the guy.

I would 331 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: watch this Durrell Reevers practice clips. It was just him 332 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: one on ones all the time, and it's just that's 333 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: like the guy. So um, I guess that kind of 334 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 1: just comes over time. And you know, I felt like 335 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: they drafted me here knowing that they had two guys 336 00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: and that I was just gonna be a ready to 337 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: fill in whenever I could and every way possible. So 338 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: I've been enjoying the role I've had. I'm not sure 339 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: how it will work out. With Jimmy coming back. But 340 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: I'm enjoying it. So let's not a little person personality 341 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 1: in your backstory. Um, obviously you went to college Alabama. 342 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: You grew up in Alabama. Your father played there, um 343 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: and was a great running back there. So when you're 344 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: did you play running back? You're fast? I tried. He 345 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: pushed me away from it all the time. Um, he's 346 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 1: I don't want to be running back. I don't be 347 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: running back. And he used to always complaining about, you know, 348 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,840 Speaker 1: getting hit, and you don't. You don't want to get hit. 349 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: You don't want to get hit. And so we used 350 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: to go work out, like just me and my family 351 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: go to Hoover in my high school's field and just 352 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: kind of somebody be doing track. Marin and my little 353 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: brother who plays basketball, who never played football, he didn't 354 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: play football high school us to be dripping basketball around 355 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: the track. I'm like, why do you have a basketball here? 356 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: That's just a weird look, just a very young gage. 357 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: I guess I never looked at it like that, but 358 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: he was definitely a basketball guy. And I'll be running 359 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: around and my dad would he jogged jog a little 360 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: bit with sweats and hoodie on and then he wake 361 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: up next day on my knee knee, and so he'd 362 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: always be just trying to tell me of how running 363 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: back is not the way to go with longevity and 364 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: just stuff after football, so slowly but surely I was 365 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 1: after middle school. I I left running back and went 366 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: to the corner. Gotcha. And when you're thinking about going 367 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: to college, you know, are you at all hesitant to 368 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: go to Alabama because your dad went there? You guys 369 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: were the same number, right, and so are you thinking, 370 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 1: all right, look, he's already carved out his obviously his 371 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: legacy there. I'd rather go to a different school because 372 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to always be compared to him and 373 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: have guys all these years later asking me about that, 374 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: or do you say I want to go there and 375 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 1: I want to follow in those footsteps? Like what was 376 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: that process? That was kind of in the back of 377 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 1: my mind actually, I was thinking, man, he's kind of 378 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: already paved away, paved away, and you know, Bobby hunt 379 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: for you the great running back and those things. And 380 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 1: then as it kind of got as it kind of 381 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: got closer just where Alabama was at the time, you know, 382 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: they had Nick say when a great cornerback coach, and 383 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: I felt as if going Obama would actually be able 384 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: to help me because you know, my dad did great 385 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 1: things there. He's got some connections there. Those are I 386 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: feel like, I felt like he made a family there, 387 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,120 Speaker 1: and so that was just a family I could add 388 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: myself into. I was right forty five minutes down the road, 389 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: so Alabama was always home. But the main thing that 390 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: made me kind of pick Alabama over anyone else's because 391 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: they always treated me with like first class. I remember 392 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: when I was younger, I was like, man, Alabama, LSU, 393 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 1: they got the best two secondaries. I want to go 394 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 1: to one of those places. And I called I could 395 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: call Alabama ten minutes before a game, like is there 396 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: any more tickets left? And whatever way they'd make it, 397 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: no matter how big the game, they make it happen. 398 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: And I called LSU one time is LSU Alabama game? 399 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: And I called him kind of late and I called him, 400 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: you know, like the week of you know, but it's 401 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 1: a big game. They always, you know, they have to 402 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: decline people all the time, and I like, I had 403 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 1: my coach call him and they're like, no, man, we 404 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 1: don't we don't have no more tickets, and I think 405 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: it was at once in Alabama. I don't even think 406 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: I told anybody. I just showed up to a game 407 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: and and then they were like they were like the 408 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: dude at the game and He's just like, yeah, I 409 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: just come on in, and I'm like, man. So they 410 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: always treated me a high class man. They showed from 411 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,360 Speaker 1: the beginning that that I was a someone they really 412 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of their family. Les Miles 413 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: is going to listen to this and say that guy 414 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: the take encounters serious Hartbury only years ago. That's hilarious. 415 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: You talk about your family and and it's fun kind 416 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: of following you on social media because you're so close 417 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 1: to them, and take a lot of family vacations them. 418 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: God bless you because that many family vacations for me, 419 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: I would kill him. You know, one a year. Maybe 420 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: it's nice, but you take some long ones. Tell us 421 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: about where you've gone. You're tracking Les, and and why 422 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: the heck you were able to put up in your 423 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: family for that one um. At a very young age, 424 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: it seemed like me and my family we went to 425 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of different places, and when I look back 426 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: on them, it was always either my brother was playing somewhere. 427 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 1: My dad was doing a golf tournament where they gave 428 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: us to hotel rooms for free, that my sister was 429 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: going somewhere, and we always just went as a family. 430 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: And at one point I realized, I've been to so 431 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 1: many different parts of the US, all these places, and 432 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: they had never been on a vacation. It was always 433 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: my dad, coach with the steal Dogs Peo, would go here, 434 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: and it was always dealing with something that we had 435 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: to do with it, but we made it a vacation. 436 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: It was a work trip or whoever it was was 437 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: my dad, my mom, my brother, but while while we 438 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: were there, we always made it and here my mom was, 439 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 1: we made it a vacation. But then I realized, wow, 440 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: I've been so many places and never actually been on 441 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: a vacation of just we all going and just vacation. 442 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 1: And I think my first one was when we went 443 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: on that cruise. And with those cruise rooms are a 444 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: little small, especially when you're trying to put in I 445 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: think we had like maybe one or two extra. So 446 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: that was that was fun. When to the Bahamas and 447 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 1: all that or wherever it was, that was a good time. 448 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: And then we went to Um, we just went to 449 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: San Francisco and my sister moved to l A. So 450 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: we went to San Francisco. And there's always I feel 451 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 1: like my little brother and Brown always get into some man, 452 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: what are you doing? What are you doing it? They 453 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 1: always get into something. This past one was probably the 454 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: funniest one because my little brother was always kind of, 455 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 1: you know, a reserve, kind of like shy guy. And 456 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: you know, you you go to play football and you're 457 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: calling for a while.

I take a picture of this shirt. 465 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: All right. I'm like, I don't know who this guy is. 466 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,439 Speaker 1: It was It's really it was really fun this last one, 467 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: just to kind of see him grow into his own 468 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,879 Speaker 1: personality and kind of come out of that show. And 469 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,360 Speaker 1: he's off to prep school now, so he's he's he's 470 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: becoming a new person and um, it was really interesting 471 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: to see how he had, you know, matured and kind 472 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: of just come into his own like Abi or something 473 00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: like that. Oh, I want to ended up going to Dubai, 474 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 1: so I do my family trip and then I do, UM, 475 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: my my friend. We're gonna try to make it a 476 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: little annual trip every year to go somewhere.

But the worst thing 479 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: with him is we both don't plan anything. We The 480 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: only reason why we got fortunate in Dubai was because 481 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,479 Speaker 1: we ended up knowing somebody and they kind of had 482 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: everything planned and we didn't. Even We got there and 483 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: there was a high let's do this and do this. 484 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: But one day I think they were gone and we 485 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: were like what are we gonna do? And we ended 486 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: up just sitting in the room for so long. And 487 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: so we're really bad with planning and we're like, man, 488 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 1: we gotta go some a cool. Last year, I'm like, 489 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: let's go to China. I'm like, bro, we go to China. 490 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to plan something.

Yeah, you can't just wing it out there. 492 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: If your boys are pretty player, you just walk around. 493 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: We cannot just wing it out there, So I try 494 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: to take about two trips, and one with my family 495 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: for sure that one always has happened, and then another 496 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: one with my best friend Nice.

Uh, the thing I was saying 500 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: about Nick Saban that people would be really surprised. You know, 501 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: is he To me, he's like a light switch. Um, 502 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: you know, when you go into a room, you turn 503 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: the light on. When you leave room, turn the light 504 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: off when you're When you're in the facility with Saban, 505 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 1: he's they're all football, kind of the grumpy guy in 506 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: one season and then he leaves and he's just a 507 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: different person. I remember, Um, you know, you you're talking 508 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: to Saban and football and meeting and things. He's all 509 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: yelling at you, you know what, kind of that stuff. 510 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: And then you go to his house for like he 511 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: would have Thanksgiving and you're talking to him and he's 512 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: just smiling, and I'm like, he's the same guy was 513 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: just custom me out today. You're always like this guy, 514 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: but he's just so he's so locked in. He's so 515 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: serious about his work and his his craft that he 516 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't have time for anything other than work. When 517 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 1: he's at work, that's how he feels. And when he's 518 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: out then he can really show us true solf. So 519 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,640 Speaker 1: you kind of see him thinking he's this main guy, 520 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: but he's really just he's just all football when it's 521 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: supposed to be football and when it's supposed to be life, 522 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: it's all life. Marlin, thank you so much for the time. 523 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: Appreciate it and keep shutting down these receivers a week 524 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: after week. All right, thank you, cool really good stuff 525 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: from Marlin family guy. You know, that's one thing I 526 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: like about Marlin. He's he's a dude who enjoys hanging 527 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 1: out with this fam only and uh and I do too. 528 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: I can only imagine what the game nights and stuff 529 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: like that are like in that house when you consider 530 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: all the athletes they have. You know, I asked about 531 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: his dad, but his mom was a track athlete in college. 532 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 1: His siblings are both track and football athletes as well. 533 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: So good bloodlines in that family, and they're all super competitive. 534 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: I can only like I said, I can only imagine 535 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: how competitive things get over there, like a board game 536 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. Yeah, I bet it would get 537 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: pretty fighty. Yeah, Monopoly gets out of hand at the 538 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: Humphrey household. But anyway, really good stuff. Big game coming 539 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: up against the Cleveland Browns. But before we look ahead, 540 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 1: that's just real quick talk. A little bit more Steelers. 541 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: Oh you want to talk a little Seelers, because I 542 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: think he made a good point at the start, which 543 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: is that you look at the score. I think when 544 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: I step back and look at the game, the Ravens 545 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: dominated the game. They really controlled the entire game. And 546 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: then in the heat of the game, as you're going 547 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 1: through it, I'm sure everybody kind of felt like I did, 548 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: which is your nervous wreck for the entire game, especially 549 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: when once it got tied up, you feel good, fourteen nothing, 550 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, here we go, baby, size them up. And 551 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's a fumble and there's 552 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: fourteen fourteen, and you go, here we go again. It's 553 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: gonna be a loss, and that's what And then even 554 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 1: in the second half, you're getting field goals and you're thinking, Okay, 555 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: you're up six, but here's here's the a r touchdown drive. 556 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: Think a lot of people are probably feeling that way, 557 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: and it never came. The big play from the Steelers 558 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: never came. It's because the Ravens defense played so well 559 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: and they win by twelve. But when you really sit 560 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: back and think about it, it was a dominant performance 561 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: from the Ravens. I mean, the Ravens control that game 562 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: pretty much start to finish, with the exception of a 563 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: of a fumble on the one inch line that costs 564 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: them seven points. They allowed forty seven yards in the 565 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: second half. Yeah, it's ridiculous to the team has one 566 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league, maybe the best 567 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: receiver in the league, a Hall of Fame quarterback, and 568 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: had the second ranked offense coming into the game, right, 569 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: So it's not a powder puff team you're playing here 570 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: by any stretch in their place on the road. Yeah, 571 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's that's an incredible feat for this defense, 572 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: you know. And I'm really happy for Wink Martindale. Uh. 573 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: I like Wink a lot, and to see the guys 574 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of rally around him in the postgame locker room 575 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 1: and jumping around and celebrating. Rubbing his head from that mullet. 576 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: You know what, this should be our next challenge, me 577 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: and you who grows the better. Mullet, go for it, 578 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: Go wink bullet. You have to compete, alright, No just 579 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: bowing out on this. You can go for it. I'll 580 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 1: see if I can keep up. Wow, that's that's bad anyway. 581 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: I think that Uh yeah, this defense is legit. The 582 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: offense is legit. The Ravens probably have the most balanced 583 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: team in the a f C right now. You look 584 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: at the Chiefs, their offense is incredible, their defense, Steelers 585 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: same case. You know they have questions on defense. The 586 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: Patriots same case, questions on defense for them. Um, the 587 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 1: Jaguars have a great defense. But right is there? So 588 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,639 Speaker 1: I mean when you really look at the top teams DFC, 589 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens are right there along with them. But here's 590 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: the thing that he come back to everybody. Bengals are good. 591 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 1: Bengals are very good. Uh, there's a lot there's a 592 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: lot of good teams. And the Ravens schedule is tough 593 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,360 Speaker 1: and there's no let up in this schedule. I mean 594 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: you look at even this Sunday's game against Cleveland, I 595 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: think they're Cleveland could easily be four it oh. They 596 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: could have beaten the Saints, they could have beaten They 597 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: had a chance for a game winning kick against the 598 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 1: Steelers they got blocked. I believe yes, it got blocked 599 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: and the refs host amount of a win in Oakland. 600 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: They could be four and oh right now, that would 601 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 1: be the talk of the whole NFL. If the Browns 602 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: are four it ough right now? Can you imagine how 603 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: much buzz would be around them? So that's a good team. 604 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you've got New Orleans. You You've got New 605 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: Orleans coming into M and T Bank, same, you got 606 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: a road trips in Nashville. You've got a lot of 607 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: tough games coming up. Yeah, I totally agree. And when 608 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: everyone does what they do at the start of the 609 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: season and every single week, which is go through and 610 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: say win win, lost wins. The first thing we do 611 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: exactly you pencil win every single time you do, and 612 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,200 Speaker 1: you pencil in two wins for the Browns. But this 613 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 1: Browns team is better, Like it's not such uh. I 614 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: think you can't just go in and say win, win 615 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 1: like you do every single season. So they've got the 616 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: first round pick or the first overall pick, who's playing 617 00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: well so I think Jarvis Landry is a dog. Yeah, 618 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: that Carlos Hyde is a good running back. He's having 619 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: a good year. Their offensive line is legit, They've got 620 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: a good defense is pretty good. I mean, they kind 621 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: of had to let down against Oakland, but there's a 622 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: lot of turnovers in that game. I think that's I 623 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: think what the key is for the Ravens is they 624 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: need to basically pestor Baker Mayfield enforce him into mistakes 625 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: like rookie mistake. Working quarterbacks tend to make mistakes, and 626 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens historically have been very consistent at capitalizing on 627 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: workinge quarterback mistakes, and so that's what they need to 628 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: force him into. They need to force him into some bathrows, 629 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: make him hold the ball a little bit longer, get 630 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: some strip sacks. That's what Oakland did, So make him 631 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: see some ghosts. Yeah, kind of play with them that way. Yeah. 632 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: I think that is going to be what they try 633 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: to do. And if they're able to do that, I 634 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: think they come away with a win. I mean, I 635 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,120 Speaker 1: still think it's a win for the Ravens, but I 636 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: just this is not a gimme against the Browns. No, 637 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: not by any means, not by any means, but anyway, 638 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: we will be back with you next week, which we'll 639 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: try to get another guest.
