1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Obviously that season ends with the super Bowl. When you 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: think of your career, like, is that the first thing 3 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: that you think of. I can't think of a moment 4 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: happier talk previously about how this could be not sure, 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: but it could be your last game to go out 6 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: and play against your rivals on your last game. As 7 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: you know it's gonna be a shootout, so he's to 8 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: be ready for it. But I just can't see myself 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: running out for another team at this point. It does 10 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: seem to me like you're soaking this up yea as 11 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: of right now. How my mind is, It's just like, 12 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: if this is a definitely appreciate it. Welcome into the 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: Lounge presented by Draft Kings. I really hope this isn't 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: the last of the you know, pre game Lounge episodes here, Garrett, 15 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: but it could be, but it could be. Gonna be 16 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: real with you, Garrett, Gonna be real with you. Not 17 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: feeling great about the Ravens playoff chances help burn around 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: three percent right now going into this finale against the 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers, But as John Hardball has said all week, 20 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 1: I just gotta take care of our business first and foremost, 21 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,559 Speaker 1: and it's always a great feeling to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah, 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: I mean, look, I think we all kind of recognize 23 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: the scenario. With the situation that the Ravens find themselves in, 24 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: it's not great. When you consider the playoff implications. There's 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: a lot that needs to happen, including Jacksonville, who I 26 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: think is a fifteen point underdog to beat the Colts. 27 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: So that it's that the Raiders gotta beat these in 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: case you're not sure. Alright, So the Jags have to 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: beat the Colts, the Raiders have to beat the Chargers, 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: and the Patriots have to beat or tie the Miami Dog. 31 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: So you know, the Raiders and the Patriots, I think 32 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: those could certainly happen. Uh. Now the Colts and Jack's 33 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: on the other hand, Yeah, Jags are two and fourteen 34 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: this year, but the Colts have not won a game 35 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville since two thousand six. I believe. No, hold on, no, 36 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: that's not right. No, that's not right, that's not right. 37 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: You're giving way too far. You're way too far, way 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: too far, way too far. They've never won a game. 39 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: It's been a hundred years, it's never happen. Yeah, anyway, um, 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: still still though. I mean, it's been some pretty bad 41 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: Jags teams over the past several years, and to uh, 42 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: you know, they've found a way to beat the cold. 43 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna rule it out. I don't think 44 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen, but I'm not gonna rule it out absolutely. 45 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: I Mean, if if there's one thing we've learned from 46 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: this season, it's to expect the crazy, expect the unexpected. 47 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: Like if you go up and pull the uh you 48 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: know how they do the in game percentage charts, you 49 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,799 Speaker 1: know how, what's the percentage to win? What was the 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: percentage of Ravens gonna win when they were fourth and 51 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: nineteen against Detroit in that game. So there's been crazy 52 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: situations like it's a likely, No, it's not likely, but um, 53 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: it's still a big game. The Steelers are still coming 54 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: to town. It's still Ben Roethlisberger's last game, most likely 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: what's going to be his last game, and the Ravens 56 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: are taking that approach that there's still a lot to 57 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: play for and they if they have any chance to 58 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, they gotta win their game. So 59 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: nothing else matters if they don't win their game, and 60 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: that's what they're focused on UM. As we get ready 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: for that game, we want to make sure our fans 62 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: notice stay alert around railroad tracks now, texting, headphones or 63 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: other distractions that would prevent you from hearing and approaching train. 64 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: CSX would like to remind Ravens fans that only freight 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: train the only freight trains on game day are those 66 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: outside the stadium. They can come from any direction at 67 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: any time and not any track, So please be safe 68 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: around the tracks if you're coming to the game at 69 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: Amity Bag Stadium on Sunday. So somebody who is going 70 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: to play a big role in this game, uh and 71 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: Ravens fans have seen him play plenty of big games 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh is Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith, who who knows 73 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: that this is gonna be his last game as well. So, 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: without any further ado, let's go ahead and jump into 75 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: the interview with Jimmy.

How you lose your 82 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,599 Speaker 1: teeth or you lose your teeth? Dang mama, mom one 83 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: messing around in the in the Smith household from Queens, 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: New York. So now you know Leo's Leo's have a 85 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: blunt personality, all right, that's you just go with that. 86 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: Hunts You're signed, so you would attributed to that pretty much. 87 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: So how are you how are you feeling going into 88 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: this regular season finale? And uh, you know you've talked 89 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: previously about how this this could be your last game. 90 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Not sure, but it could be your last game. I mean, 91 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: obviously it all depends on what Erica Costa and coaching 92 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 1: all them. Do you know if they have something for 93 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: me or something you know, anything can have and I 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: should say, but um, I guess just on my own mind, 95 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: just riding the wave of how the year went a 96 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: little bit, you know, kind of felt like could possibly 97 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: be it, but you never know, right. You know, it 98 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: was interesting because you met with the media earlier today 99 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: and you talked about how you know, it's what what 100 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I heard from what you're saying is over the course 101 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: of the year, you kind of felt like this is 102 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: probably gonna be it. You dealt with some injuries, UM, 103 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,039 Speaker 1: and weren't playing as much as you had previously, But 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: then you come out on Sunday and you play your 105 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: snaps and it was your best game of the season, 106 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, I still got it. You know, 107 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,280 Speaker 1: you're making the play down there at the goal line. 108 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier this week. I felt like 109 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: that was like you showed up with the goal line 110 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: with a big stop late in that game. I was like, 111 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: that's just too fitting. And so then you're like, all right, 112 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,559 Speaker 1: I can still do this, Like did that game alter 113 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: you're thinking at all? Yeah? Yeah, I mean there's one 114 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: thing being hampered by an hindered by an injury, and 115 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: then kind of standing on the skyline, uh previous and 116 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: all the years anytime I've ever really had an I 117 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: just fought through it and kept playing. UM. Just being 118 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: a different part of my career and how things were 119 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: I you know, I didn't really know. It just kind 120 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: of felt weird. It just it was a different feeling. So, 121 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: you know, you get injured again again and again, and 122 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: then you just kind of like, you know, did they 123 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: even want me upstairs, you know, like did they want 124 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: to go through that, like not being available and I 125 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: had weird stuff happened, like my neck is You're like, 126 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: just it was just kind of one of those just 127 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: felt like it was a lot of like just great 128 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: cloud on me this year, and you know, so it 129 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: definitely makes you think about retirement. But when I did 130 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: get out there and I start playing and I'm having fun, 131 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 1: it's like it's a football you you can do this. 132 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 1: It's just it's just it's just getting through those Mondays 133 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: through Saturdays is a little different the order you get, right. 134 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: I gotta say, Jimmy, when you made that tackle down 135 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: by the goal line on Sonny Michelle, I was freaking out. 136 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: I told Garret, look, I was. I had the privilege 137 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: of not being in the press box. Right the press box, 138 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: you gotta be kind of quiet and professional, you know me, 139 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: Jimmy not the most you know, I like to kind 140 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: of loose a little bit.

I mean, 169 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: I didn't plan on necessarily putting my retirement papers in. 170 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: I mean, as far as the rest of the league 171 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: is concerned, yes, I'm retired to him, but I'll be 172 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: here for the Ravens available. I know that everything always 173 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: changes for me when I get to the off season 174 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:51,439 Speaker 1: and I'm healthy, like that ankle hing injury for whatever reason, 175 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: maybe because I already had a high ankle on that 176 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 1: redoing it and not really knowing and trying to fight 177 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: through it earlier than probably a little bit too early 178 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: for my own body. But I think it just kind 179 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 1: of carried on. But it's just hard to tell some time. 180 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: I think those things kind of make it cloudy, make 181 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: it faulty for you. Yeah, I thought it was you 182 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: just touched on it. But I think it's interesting that 183 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: you basically you're saying Ravens are bust, like I'm not 184 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: going somewhere, I'm not going to play for another team 185 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: and kind of as a hired gun for one season 186 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: like that, you're not interested in that, And I'm curious 187 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: why that is. Like we've talked to you before about 188 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: how you want to it does mean something to you 189 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,199 Speaker 1: to play your entire career in Baltimore. There aren't many 190 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: players who have done that here, and there's not many 191 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: players that just do that in sports anymore. But why 192 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: is that significant to you? If this was five six 193 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: years ago, obviously so much left in the tank, I'd 194 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, I'm going to play somewhere else. But 195 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: I've made it this long, loyal to them, and they've 196 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 1: been loyal to me, and like I said earlier in 197 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: my layou so that is number one. It's a big 198 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: deal to me. It's like family and I trust them 199 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: and that. You know, it's just I just can't see 200 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: myself running out for another team at this point. And 201 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: it's like it's not a money thing anymore, you know. 202 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not racking up ten million dollars a 203 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: year right now. I'm on smaller, smaller deals that are comfortable. 204 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: But I'm home. I'm living in ball tomorrow Boat a 205 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: house here, my family is here, I got my son 206 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: up the road. So it's like it has to be 207 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: it has to fit perfect and obviously Raven was the 208 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: only team that's gonna fit perfect at this point in 209 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: my career. Now, the only the only show with that 210 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: plan is if you're tired, you can go into fool 211 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: dad body mode. If you don't, if you're on speed dial, 212 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: see look at me, Jimmy, this is living the life. No, 213 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: I actually built me And it's a little jim down 214 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: in the house just you know, just to stay just 215 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: to stay right. But yeah, that's that's funny. You say 216 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: that because you get guys, remember Sharps right Sharp's right 217 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: back in the day. It's like when he first retired, 218 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: you tired three years ago, when he first retired and 219 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: we went and had our first little all season trip together, 220 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: it was just hilarry is to see his little dad 221 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: bought kicking. It was like, probably been all for eight months. 222 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: You got a little stomach, a little puggy, is not 223 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: and it gets skinny. You got a little puggy. So 224 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, I definitely gotta stale. I'm a little 225 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 1: too vain not to that's great. Well, I want to. 226 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: I want to kind of back up a little bit 227 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: with you, with you Jimmy, just because you have had 228 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: this long tenure with the Ravens and coach Harball today 229 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: was kind of talking about a conversation like when he 230 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: thinks about your career, he thinks back to a conversation 231 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: you had with you. I think it was your rookie 232 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 1: year when you come out and I remember this like 233 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: it was yesterday. First play of your entire career, you're 234 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: running down on kickoff coverage and it's like, all right, 235 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: here's first round pick Jimmy Smith on kickoff coverage, which 236 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: not great, and then you get injured, and Harves is 237 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: kind of telling the story about how it seemed like 238 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: you were kind of salty that you had to be 239 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: on special teams and that you got injured playing special teams, 240 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,959 Speaker 1: and you kind of had to have like a little 241 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 1: I don't know stern's the right word, but a little 242 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: talking to to kind of get you back in the 243 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: right frame of mind. You share your side of this. Yeah, 244 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: when it comes to special things, I'm a bit of 245 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: a prima donald. I guess you could say I just 246 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: never imagined. I never really imagined myself doing that like that. 247 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: My job was the corner so I played stuf season college. 248 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: So it's not that I didn't know or anything like that. 249 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: It's just I have bigger hopes going in early, and 250 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: then I end up getting um heard on that first 251 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,680 Speaker 1: play and that changed my rookie season a little bit. 252 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 1: And then the next year end up getting the growings 253 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 1: and everything, and I got kind of relegated back to 254 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: special teams after I came back, and you know, that's 255 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 1: when me and Hardball kind of had our probably our 256 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: biggest like bumping over the heads one day, and I 257 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: was like, you know, I was I thought I was 258 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: putting my foot down and he had the final say 259 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: and was like, no, get your butt back on step. 260 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: And I did it because you know, I'm that's my job. 261 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: He's the boss. So I was like, I gotta do it, 262 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: but I was not happy about it. There's actually a 263 00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 1: play that happened in the Denver Broncos game. I tackled 264 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: the punt returner and this is like a huge play, 265 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: tackle them down like the five or something like that, 266 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: and over time or whatever, and I get up and 267 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: try to walk off and people are celebrating, and I'm like, 268 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to. I want nothing to do with anybody, 269 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: just because of how mad I was. What I was 270 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: out there running down on gunner. But you know, it's funny. 271 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: It's funny to smile back on it now. It's like 272 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: it was like one of those lessons you had to learn. 273 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: Is like even though I didn't want to do it, 274 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: I still did it to the best ability. But yeah, 275 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: I definitely do not want to do that stuff earlier 276 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: in my career, or I think just weeks ago, I 277 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: got a hit pointer running down there on a punt return. 278 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: No more special teams. That's that's gonna be in the contract, 279 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 1: the real the one year contract. This all season, it's 280 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: gonna be in the small print, No more specialty. When 281 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: you get to this age and have a career that 282 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: I've had, you like, you get to the point where 283 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: you're just playing special teams, it's probably trying to hang 284 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: it up. So so obviously that season ends with the 285 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,560 Speaker 1: super Bowl. And whenever anyone thinks of that Super Bowl, 286 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: least for me, I think back to that goal line 287 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: stand and you versus cratchery when you think of your career, Like, 288 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: is that the first thing that you think of? Absolutely? 289 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: I can't think of a moment happier, you know, Like, 290 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: like I can't even explain to you, like everybody talks about, 291 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: you know, when the Super bowls second to birth and 292 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: all those types of things, or our first you know, 293 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: second to birth of life. But in that moment, honestly, 294 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: being the second year guy struggling, didn't get on the 295 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: field until literally like the super Bowl and to go 296 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: and have a couple of plays in it and like 297 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: meaningful plays in it that will go down and you know, 298 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: history of Ravens sistry at least, it just felt I 299 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: can't even explain to you, Like there's a picture of 300 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: me running across my arms open and my mouth wide 301 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: and it was like back in that tells me exactly 302 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: how I felt, just pure relations just I couldn't even 303 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: put into words what just happened. And literally that next 304 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 1: kickoff almost lost the game for us. Nobody knows it. 305 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: So if you look at the last play, yeah, this 306 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: is funny. Though three times or two times almost lost. 307 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: So once was the we had to take a safety 308 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: for samp and I didn't realize that we were tackling 309 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: our opponent. Everybody else was like on the ground dragon 310 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: the guy. Everybody else is on the ground, and I 311 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: blocked my guy legally long enough. I'm like that should 312 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: be good, and he runs out and we have time left, 313 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: so that way we had to kick. So it was 314 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: your guy who like them out of bound, you were 315 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: supposed to tackle him. It was my guy. So now 316 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: be kicking off, kicking off or we're kicking off and 317 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: take In gets the ball. I'm the right safety, mean 318 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: take In one on one. I missed the tackle. This 319 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: is for the game. This is the end of the game. 320 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: And when I tell you, in that moment, I thought 321 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: I had him. I missed last second. I mean, I 322 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: hear the cheers, but that's like miss him. I just 323 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: heart sank fell out. I'm safety. There's nobody else behind me, 324 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: at least I thought. But Josh Bynes comes, they make 325 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: the tackle and we win the game, and I literally 326 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: just buckled on my knees, like wow, almost just I 327 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: just want and lost the games. It was the craziest 328 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: a roller coaster emotions. But yeah, that that's probably will 329 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 1: be the biggest just play, especially just when I went 330 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: through that year to get to that point. And then honestly, 331 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: Sis kind of predicted that happening. Weirdly, he called it 332 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: out when I was upset with obviously what harps about 333 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: having to play special teams. Only um Since came to 334 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 1: me on his own and was talking to me like, 335 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: we're gonna need you. You're gonna be the guy who's 336 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: gonna make the play in the super Bowl, this and that. 337 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: At the time, I'm like, I'm on special teams and 338 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: we're not even close to Super Bowl. We just dropped 339 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: three games, right, you know, like there's no way I 340 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: can I can't see that, you know, but it happened, 341 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 1: and and all of it fell on line and it 342 00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: was just crazy, and me and Says talked about it 343 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: right after it happened. It was pretty is gonna be honest, Well, 344 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: we'll let that that Ted Gin play be more evidence 345 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: that no more Jimmy Jimmy Smith on special teams. That's 346 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: another example out on that I told you I can't 347 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: play special You know one play from that goal line 348 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: series too, that I think it's forgotten. Everybody remembers the 349 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: last play with you and him kind of hand fighting 350 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: and you know, is there gonna be a flag or 351 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: not or whatever. One play that people forget is you 352 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: absolutely rocking crab Tree in the head, like the what 353 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: they'll play before that. Well in Crabtree eventually before he 354 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: kind of came back and said like he was still 355 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: a little bit like woozy from that play on the 356 00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,360 Speaker 1: fourth down play like that that you that was a 357 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: rocking Yeah, I do definitely remember that play. It's crazy 358 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: because I thought about trying to take the bottom of 359 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: his hands in that play. But yeah, I did read 360 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: somewhere that it should have been a fine, like back then, 361 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: definitely would have been I should have got a fine 362 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: for head to head contact on that. But like we 363 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,680 Speaker 1: did and they let they let us play. Now, one 364 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: one thing about your career Jimmy that I'm curious about 365 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 1: is like, you know, you you were one guy I 366 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: will I will pat myself on the back. Like going 367 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: into the draft, I was like, I want us to 368 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: draft Jimmy Smith. That's the guy who I want. And 369 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: so I was like, I honestly have felt connected with 370 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: you since then because we finally we took you. I 371 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: was like, hell yeah, like this guy's gonna be shut down, right, 372 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: And like everybody when you came in and you and 373 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: Tori came in for that that introductory press conference, you know, 374 00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: when you were first drafted, everybody talked about how you 375 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: know you had the sky high potential, you know, like 376 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: you could be the lockdown, shut down corner for a 377 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: decade or whatever, right, and like when you were on 378 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: the field, oftentimes you were, but there were a lot 379 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: of times when you weren't on the field because injuries, 380 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: you know. And I just wondered, like, as you're you know, 381 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,159 Speaker 1: maybe ending your career, like do you how do you 382 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 1: look at back on it? Do you look at their 383 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: at it as like a bunch of what ifs? And like, 384 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: if I had stayed healthy, could I have been a 385 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: multi year pro bowler? Could I have been this or that? Absolutely? Yeah, 386 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely, Um I think I think that's exactly the 387 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: reason I didn't accomplish those goals is just sometimes the 388 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: best trade you could have is being available on that 389 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: and I was like my worst one. And it's funny 390 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: because all through college I never was injured once. I 391 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: never missed games for an injury. And then I get 392 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: to the league and my first play and then it 393 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 1: just seemed like it was a trickle down effect after that. 394 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: But it was like major injuries too. It wasn't just 395 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: you know, it was never a hamstring. I was like, 396 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: ohly towards gilies really popped that list, Frank, Like it's 397 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: a growing like that. Stuff like that. You just it 398 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: just happens over football. So I do sometimes kick myself 399 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: because I think team would have been the year. Um 400 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: that was like a shooting for me to go in 401 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 1: and and and definitely represent the NVC Pro Bowl. But 402 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: I end up getting suspended. And I told my Achiles, 403 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: so I do and my heart feel like I was 404 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: that type of player, although I don't have the accolades 405 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: and back and I just feel like I'm not I 406 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: was that type of where And then you know, as 407 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 1: far as that you guys viewed me and how I 408 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: was viewed as a player, it's pretty consistent. Like when 409 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: he's on the field, we're good to go. But nobody's 410 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: not on the field. He's not on the field, So 411 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: I just take it with a grain of all that 412 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: is what it is. But I would definitely wish I 413 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: had the blue and white jersey in my room and 414 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: did all that. But I think knowing that I had 415 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: the ability in the talent to do it kind of 416 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: makes me feel good. Mm hmmm. For you, it just 417 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: seems to me like these last I don't know, a 418 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: month or a couple of couple of weeks here that 419 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: you are sort of stopping to smell the roses, like 420 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: you got introduced out of the tunnel on Sunday as 421 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: we're having this conversation, like you know, there's the caveat 422 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: that who knows, of course, but like it does seem 423 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: to me like you're soaking this up. Yeah, because you 424 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: really don't know. I don't know what a DC gonna say, 425 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: and I don't know what Harvey was gonna say next year. 426 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: I don't know any of that. They might be able 427 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: to bring it back a week twelve or some I 428 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 1: don't know. So as of right now, how my mind is, 429 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: it's just like if this is a definitely a pre 430 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: shade it you know, it's eleven years, I'll be thirty 431 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,679 Speaker 1: four next year. It's not you know, it gets up 432 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: there for a cornerback. Um, So it's just you know, 433 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: take it in, appreciate what you gotta go. And it's 434 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: not like I'm about to leave here. So even if 435 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm not, I'll be around around you guys. Just see 436 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: me next year in the building. I ain't got nothing 437 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: to do yet. But yeah, I mean you definitely, it's 438 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: just you know, moments that you gotta really just take 439 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 1: it in like I said, like on that play on Sunday, 440 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 1: obviously huge play, but literally in that moment, I was 441 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: really thinking what you just said, Like, Wow, what a play. 442 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss a stadium erupting like that. I missed 443 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: that type of that, that feeling like being a football player. 444 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: So it's like, I take it with a grain of salt, 445 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: like obviously you can hear. It's like, do I one 446 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: thousand percent think I'm honestly done in my mind? Probably not, 447 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: but I have things win and how things have gone. 448 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: It's a possibility, so I have to take it as 449 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: that possibility. What's it like to have that game be 450 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: against Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, a guy you battled 451 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: for a decade. It's gonna be a great game. I mean, 452 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: I have the most respect for Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers, 453 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: their their program, but you know, why not go out 454 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: against them that This is a it's a big time game, 455 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 1: one of the most physical games. You know, and in 456 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: the ANFC, North's shooting all the football really um, but 457 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 1: to go out and play against your rivals on your 458 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: last game, you know it's gonna be a shootout, so 459 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: he's to be ready for it. But at the same time, 460 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: you gotta let it fly, you know, you never know 461 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. Was it was it annoying playing against 462 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Big Ben. I always felt like just watching him, I 463 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: was like, I hate playing this too, because like you 464 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,919 Speaker 1: feel like you got him sacked three times? You should 465 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,719 Speaker 1: you really should. I mean, the guy is about as 466 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: mobile as I am at this point. I mean, and 467 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 1: then he just launches one down field and you're like 468 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: that lucky freaking guy again, you know what I mean, Like, 469 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: do you feel like that as a player? So how 470 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: many so many games it's just like we'll be kicking 471 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: their butt sometime and then he just pulls this out 472 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: of this hat I don't know, and he just scores 473 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,439 Speaker 1: a touchdown and they just somehow with they just you know, 474 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: like they just do something. And it's like the Big Ben. 475 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 1: It's like you can never really count them out. I've 476 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: watched them go, you know, get skunked in the first 477 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: half of the season. Here just teams zero and then 478 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 1: he come out on the second half and light it up, 479 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: and it's like that's Big Bail, you know, that's what 480 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: he does, and it's like we can kick there but 481 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 1: for three quarters on Sunday. But you know that Big 482 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: Ben is the type of guy to come back on 483 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: that fourth quarter and kick your bus. So you gotta 484 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: be ready. You know, you can never really sleep on 485 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: how excited are you to have Sizzle back as he's 486 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: the legend of the game this week. I don't know 487 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: if you're gonna catch up with him at all, but obviously, 488 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: like he to a lot of people, he sort of 489 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 1: defined this game for a long time and I think 490 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: he'll bring a little extra juice with do you play 491 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: to get together with him? But what what do you think 492 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: about having I do agree? I do agree with you 493 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 1: when you say he defines this game. He's the one 494 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: that kind of let me know what this rivalry is 495 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: all about. You know, it really wasn't really Ray Lewis 496 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,679 Speaker 1: or very It was really Terrell Suggs and the trash 497 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: talking that he did. And you know you kind of 498 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: missed that though, you missed that around a little bit. 499 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,919 Speaker 1: Somebody that's like that the to get a going, the 500 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: juice is going a little banter back and forth. But 501 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: I think he that's what he brings, that's that's who 502 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: he is. He brings that assertion that hey, we're gonna 503 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna be the Ravens and we're gonna do this 504 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: and this and us, and it feels good to have 505 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: a guy that that that kind of has that personality, 506 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: that attitude and backs it up. Who who is the 507 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: who are the young players right now? Is the most 508 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 1: likely to be that guy? Like if we're you know, 509 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: if we you know, flash forward here five ten years, like, 510 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: who is the guy that like kind of continues on 511 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: the great Ravens defensive you can throw trash talk with 512 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: the great defensive tradition that's been a place here. I 513 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: think Marlon right now is going to have to be 514 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: the guy. You're gonna really have a lot of trash 515 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: talkers on the team. Marcus Peters obviously probably second, non 516 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: trash talking, but as far as like homebred raised like 517 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: Marlin is going to have to be the guy that 518 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 1: carries that. And weirdly people don't know, but Marlin talks 519 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: crap on the field so much, so it's not like 520 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: it's a surprise. But since had those quotes, you know, 521 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: he was just a bold personality wearing hellman's and being 522 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: masks like like that. I don't think you can. I 523 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: don't think that can be Redone. I think that's him. 524 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: But as far as a young guy having that swagger, 525 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: that that's that's definitely gonna be Marlin or even a 526 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: dope once he starts to understand how good he really is. Yeah, 527 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: and again maybe not just quiet. Yeah, he's he's a 528 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,679 Speaker 1: lot of times rookies are quiet. He could come out 529 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: of the show. It's then no, no, no, it's in him. 530 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: Don't let him fool you. It's in him. He just hasn't. 531 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: He ain't let it out here. So so if if 532 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 1: Sizzle comes up to you, Jimmy before the game and 533 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 1: he's like, look, man, I never filed my retirement papers. 534 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 1: You you down with me? Ryan with you in this 535 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: season finale against Big Ben and the Steelers. What do 536 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: you say to So if he says that to you, 537 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: I'm right, of course, that's my dog, dude. I'm kind 538 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: of down. Sis calls me Kylo Wren. I don't even 539 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 1: know anything about Star Wars. I just know that I 540 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: can't probably be that good, but he always just calls 541 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 1: me Kylo wrens. I got to make sure I'm rolling 542 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: with my dog well, I think Kyler Rend. Isn't he 543 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 1: one of the evil guys, So that's good. Suggs was 544 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: always the villain. I think Kylo was an evil guys. 545 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: That's good. That's a compliment. You're asking the wrong guy. 546 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: I have no idea. I had no clue what it is. 547 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: He's like, you're Kylo Rend, and I knew coming from 548 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: him at first. It couldn't have been like, oh, it 549 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: was a good guy, so yeah, somebody crazy or it 550 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: just doesn't give two f's a All right, Jimmy, Well 551 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: before we let you go, is there any like story? 552 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: You've already given us some good stories that we never heard. 553 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: But is there anything, like one thing that stands out 554 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: to you from your Raven's career that maybe people don't 555 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 1: know about? I mean, just off the top. I can't 556 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: really think of one particular thing. I mean stories, though 557 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: I got thousands of stories of players and funny times 558 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 1: and playing trips and just we just had, you know, 559 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens have a always have had a similar personality 560 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: locker room, if that makes sense, Like people don't really 561 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 1: fall too far outside of our spectrum in there, if 562 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: that makes sense, Like a lot of people are similar 563 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: you know, we think the shame and kind of moved 564 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: the same and so M I don't kind of lost 565 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,680 Speaker 1: my out there, but I got I got all kinds 566 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: of funny stories that I'm not sure we should be 567 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 1: talking about. All right, Well we'll be talking on the 568 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: sidelines someday with this awesome Jimmy, what really good stuff.

Never tried that anyway. Good stuff 591 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: from Jimmy Smith, uh like said, just one of my 592 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: favorite dudes because we've been here with them for so long. 593 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: You and I that that, and and he's just he's 594 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: just a real dude. So I'm gonna I'm gonna miss 595 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: seeing Jimmy. Do I think the Ravens could have a 596 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,760 Speaker 1: spot for him. I mean, I wouldn't rule it out. 597 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: I think that they're obviously going to draft a cornerback 598 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: or two. I would say, how many draft picks we 599 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: have this year twenty something like that, Maybe use a 600 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: couple on corners. Um, but I mean the quarterback, you know, 601 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: you look at it. You've got Marlon Humphrey come back 602 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: from the season ending injury, and I expect he'll be fine, 603 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, that's that's an injury that I'm 604 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: not worried about him bouncing back from, like a torn 605 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: triceps peck or whatever it is. Um, you know, Marcus 606 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: Peters is a little bit more of a tougher rebound 607 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: coming off of a c L. But then you have 608 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: Anthony Avert who's an unrestricted free agent, who knows what's 609 00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: gonna happen there. Tavon Young I think is still under 610 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: contract for next year. Yeah, um, you know, but tavan 611 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,480 Speaker 1: has been hanged up, but still I expect him to 612 00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: be out there. I mean, then you have these young corners, 613 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: some of these young corners that who knows how they land, 614 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 1: do they get resigned the reserve, futures deals or whatnot, 615 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: Like point being Chris Westry, you know he'll be back 616 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 1: point being. They're gonna need some bodies, And it's never 617 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: a bad idea. We've seen this season how valuable cornerback 618 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: depth is. I mean, it was the Ravens deepest position 619 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: going into the year and suddenly is now the thinnest. 620 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: It's just wild. So I don't have a problem, at 621 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 1: least at the very least keeping Jimmy on speed dial. 622 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: Like I said, Well, that's that's the like, I mean, 623 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: I don't think that that's an unlikely scenario. Like he's 624 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: in the area. I mean, look at what has happened 625 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: for the Ravens this year. Now you hope that it's 626 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: not a repeat of this situation next year. But like 627 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: when you consider some of the guys that the Ravens 628 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: have added mid season who are playing significant staffs like 629 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: Kevon Seymour, Robert Jackson has come in, He's on the 630 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: practice squad, played significant snaps at time. Tony Jefferson was signed. 631 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 1: You know, I know he's a safety, defensive back. Tony 632 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: Jefferson was just signed. Darryl Worley played, you know, a 633 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: big role against the Bengals. So, like, could you have 634 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith that's available. If you don't, you know, maybe 635 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: you don't go into the season with him. And also, 636 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: like given the injuries that he's had, maybe it's not 637 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: a bad thing if he missed his training camp in 638 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: the first few games. Like maybe maybe if he were 639 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: to join the team in October, that could be best 640 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: case scenario and you get him if you need him 641 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 1: late in the season. So I don't think that that's 642 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, outside the realm of possibility at all. Um. 643 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: And I think it could be a you know, potentially 644 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: a wine yeah, exactly. Um. Anyway, this Steelers game is 645 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a fun game, I think, especially for me. 646 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: It's it's kind of the emotional storylines of this and 647 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger's last game, and I am, h I'm 648 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,560 Speaker 1: excited to see that, you know, I would love to 649 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: see the Ravens send him out the wrong way. Um. 650 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: And it's just gonna be it's it's gonna be a 651 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: fun game. One thing I will say is I kind 652 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: of feel like this is a win win game for 653 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens, right. Either you win the game, right and 654 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: you send out Ben with l have another winning season, 655 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: you know, all the all the stuff that just feels 656 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: good about winning, breaking a five game losing streak, you know, 657 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff feels great. On the flip side, if 658 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: you lose the game, the Ravens have a chance to 659 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: finish third or fourth place in the division, which isn't 660 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: the worst place to be when you look at when 661 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,479 Speaker 1: you look at where that would leave them draftwise. And 662 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 1: I think in particular, schedule wise, if they finish third 663 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: or fourth in the division. This is all assuming they're 664 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,960 Speaker 1: not gonna if they don't make the playoffs. Obviously I 665 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: want them to make the playoffs. And by the way, 666 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: I think it's crazy anybody that's like, who cares if 667 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 1: they make the playoffs or not, we just get eliminated anyway. 668 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: Crazy anyway, Yeah, we've covered but I think that, um, 669 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: if you finish third or four within the division, well, 670 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: now suddenly you're looking at next year going against the 671 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: Texans or Jaguars as opposed to the Colts. Right, that's 672 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: that makes a pretty big difference in terms of schedule difficulty. 673 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: Next year you're looking at the Giants, You're looking at 674 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: the Broncos, you know, instead of instead of maybe the 675 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: Chargers or the Raiders. So it matters, right, like like 676 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: the I think the Ravens could be just by virtue 677 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: of losing this game. Not to mention you jump up 678 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: like whatever it is, four or five places in the 679 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: draft order that makes that could make a difference, especially, 680 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: like I said, when you have twenty draft picks every round, 681 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 1: you're drafting higher, Like it's not the it's not the 682 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: worst thing in the world. What I'm saying is it's 683 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: not the worst thing in the world if the Ravens 684 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: lose this game for the off season. Yeah, you're not 685 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 1: You're not taking the tank. No, they should absolutely try 686 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: to win because you have a chance to get in 687 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Absolutely, I'm not taking tanket approach. I'm just saying, 688 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: if they lose, it's not the worst thing in the world. Yeah, 689 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: this is talk about a glass half full anyway you 690 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: look at it. I like your attitude. I mean it's 691 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: a it's a good you got to spin everything feel positive. Yeah, 692 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: And look, I think I think it is gonna be 693 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: a fun atmosphere. I think having Sugs there is going 694 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: to add some energy. Like, I just think that's gonna be. 695 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,439 Speaker 1: It's just perfect that he's coming back for what's likely 696 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's last game. Um, and I think that's gonna 697 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: add some serious energy, especially pre game. And I think 698 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: that the Ravens I think it's gonna be. Honestly, my 699 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 1: expectation is that it's gonna be a close game. I 700 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 1: think the Ravens win it. The reason, the big reason 701 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: I feel that way is I think that Monday night 702 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: was kind of uh, the Steelers Super Bowl. I know 703 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: that they're still in the playoffs in a similar way 704 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 1: to the Ravens, and that they are you know, a 705 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: lot has to happen in order for them to get 706 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 1: in that. You know, I don't know what their exact 707 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: percentages are, but not good. They're not good. And and 708 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,240 Speaker 1: so they just had the farewell toward Hines Field where 709 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: you know, ESPN did the three hour broadcast of basically 710 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,800 Speaker 1: the love fest for Ben Roethlisberger, and he did the 711 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: lap around the stadium and a lot of emotional energy 712 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: that yes, the emotional energy tank is empty. I think 713 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: for for Bean and the Steelers to some degree that 714 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough to get back up for a 715 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: game against the Ravens six days later. And I just 716 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,160 Speaker 1: think that the Ravens are do I also think beyond 717 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,120 Speaker 1: all that stuff, I just I think that Ravens are 718 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: a better team. They really controlled that game against the 719 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 1: Steelers when they played them previously. UM, and then the 720 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: Steelers obviously came back, you know, after the Marlin injury 721 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,640 Speaker 1: and ended up taking the late lead. UM. But I 722 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: think that the Ravens are a better team, and I 723 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: think that they are going to come out with the win. Well, 724 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,240 Speaker 1: the other storyline is in this is can the Ravens 725 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 1: hold t J. Watt back from breaking Michael Strahan's record. 726 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: He needs one and a half sacks to break the record, 727 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,880 Speaker 1: going against Patrick McCarry most likely for much of the game. 728 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: That that'll be another interesting storyline to watch in this one. 729 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 1: You know what I say, triple team. I don't care 730 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: what it takes. I don't care one it takes. There's 731 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,840 Speaker 1: no way the Ravens should let that do break the 732 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: record at Mt. Bank Stadium. I don't want to see 733 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: his little leg kick thing even once. Well, you want 734 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,600 Speaker 1: to go one more subplot, We'll give you one more 735 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 1: subplot here. Mark Andrews is a hundred and forty one 736 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: yards away from becoming the NFL's all time leader in 737 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: single season receiving yards by a tight end. Travis Kelsey 738 00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: has that record with one tho four hundred and sixteen. 739 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: So a big Mark capable putting up a hundred forty 740 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: one yards, so he could do it, hollywo Brown, doesn't 741 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 1: you know? I think he needs one yards to get 742 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: over a thousand yards, So I hope he gets that 743 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: done this week. So any other subplots. Mark did top 744 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: one against the Colts this year had one thirty six 745 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:52,120 Speaker 1: against Green Bay. Very possible. There you go. Any more 746 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:56,560 Speaker 1: subplots for this game. I don't think so. But anyway, 747 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: it's fun. Like if you have a ticket into this game, 748 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: you should be excited about going. Um, definitely make sure 749 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,680 Speaker 1: you're two little notes. Two little notes here. Uh, these 750 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: aren't subplots, but game entertainment notes. We're gonna have those 751 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 1: frog ax jumpers that jumped off the parachuting in before 752 00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 1: the game, which is cool and cheap. Tree. The Rocke 753 00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: Roll Hall of Fame band is going to be playing 754 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 1: at halftime. So that's your favorite band? I like, I like, 755 00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: I like that. I would say they're my favorite band. 756 00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,360 Speaker 1: But it's exciting. No, I mean they'll put on a 757 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,600 Speaker 1: good show. Um, so I think our fans will like that. 758 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Rocketroll Hall of Famer. Not every day that 759 00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 1: you get to have Rocke Roll Hall of Famers in 760 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: the houses, I mean, come on, says but like just 761 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,279 Speaker 1: just like him, like coming out for the introduction. It's 762 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 1: his first time back as a non you know, he 763 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,759 Speaker 1: came back as a cardinal that was lame, that was lean, 764 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: but his first time back since his playing days ended. 765 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,479 Speaker 1: So that'll just be a really cool moment. I think, yeah, 766 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: he should come out with the mask. Oh you should 767 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,080 Speaker 1: wear the mask. Maybe he will. I would not me. 768 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: If there's one thing that drel Slux knows, it's theater, 769 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 1: So it would not surprise me if he broke that 770 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 1: out again this week. So before we go, I want 771 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: to remind everybody that approximately every three hours in the 772 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: United States, unfortunately, either there's a vehicle or a pedestrian 773 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: involved in a collision with a train. So you need 774 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: to stay alert around railroad tracks. Again, no texting, a headphones, 775 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,600 Speaker 1: any other distractions that would prevent you from hearing an 776 00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 1: approaching train. You never want to mix rails with recreation, 777 00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: That's right, you don't. You don't want to get the 778 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,120 Speaker 1: big smush from the train because because we want to 779 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: get the big win, I'm only going to give it that. 780 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 1: I give it the big all right, A little bigger, 781 00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: a little big. You don't need. You don't need to 782 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 1: turn a little bit bigger. That was kind of sad, 783 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: the big win against a rival. I'll still take it. 784 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,280 Speaker 1: Buckle up, because here it comes
