1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We have the

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: pleasure of sitting down with Kyle van Neyt, fresh off.

3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: Inking his two year deal with the Ravens. Congratulations, thank you,

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: thank you.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 3: Let's go. Yeah, let's do it. I'm ready to play.

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: All the shoulder pads back here all.

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 3: I might need to give my shoulders warmed up.

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: So last year you were bawling off the couch. That

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 1: was kind of the term that you you gave it.

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: This year it's bawling in April. Now, what's the difference

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: for you now? Knowing your team, who you're going to

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: be playing with and all that.

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 4: You know, I'm so happy and grateful to have my

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 4: name inked on a team, especially this one. This one

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 4: means a lot to me. With the group of guys

16
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: and people like yourselves.

17
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: Thank you.

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: We know this is the selling point.

19
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 4: Yes, no, but it all correlates together. It's like I

20
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 4: enjoy coming to work. I enjoy seeing everybody. I enjoy

21
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 4: seeing familiar faces. I enjoy being around a bunch of

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 4: good people. In this building has the best people in

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: the league. And I mean that. And I've been at

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 4: a couple places and there's another place that has quite

25
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: a few people, but for me and my career where

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 4: we're at, this one's the best, right.

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 5: Right, So take us through what this re agency process

28
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 5: looked like for you. Obviously, you know the business side

29
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 5: of the game. You've been through this and you know

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 5: at the end of the season it sounded like, you know,

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 5: maybe you take your time, but it happened much earlier

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 5: than last year.

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Obviously. What was this process like over the course of the

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 2: last few weeks.

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 4: You know, that's a good question. I think it was

36
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 4: a little bit of everything. I think it was a

37
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: little bit of patience. But at the same time, I

38
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: knew where I wanted to be, and I think the

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 4: Ravens knew they wanted me back, so it was kind

40
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 4: of like, why wait, and let's get something done. And

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 4: so grateful for EDC and the crew upstairs and mister

42
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: b I call him mister Beat. That's our owner.

43
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: Miss just for.

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: Everyone has that really got to be become good friends

45
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 4: with them so far. Just his willingness to communicate with

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: a player, his willingness to learn and just communicate, He's

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 4: been awesome. It's been really fun to get to know him.

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: My trash talk, right now to him right now as

49
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 4: I can beat him on a golf course.

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: So did the trash songs start before you in the company?

51
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, it started way before, so it

52
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: was good. Now it's going to be our continual, continual, continual,

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: you know. Whatever it is trash talk that we'll have.

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: But hopefully I can get him on a golf course

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 4: one of these days.

56
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: Yes, it's interesting.

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 5: I'm curious what that conversation, those conversations are like. I mean,

58
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 5: it's not it's not often always that an owner is

59
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 5: talking to a player, and it necessarily forms those relationships.

60
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: Everyone's got different approaches, both on the player side and

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: on the owner side. But you know, how has that

62
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 5: relationship developed and how important was that piece of wanting

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:11,119
Speaker 5: to come back here?

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's a good question. I think mister b

65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: has a relationship with a lot of players. Not every

66
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 4: place is like that. I feel fortunate to have a

67
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 4: relationship with them, and you know, feel comfortable communicating with them,

68
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 4: and I feel that with everybody. I feel like I

69
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: can pick up the phone and call EDC at any point.

70
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 4: He's been awesome about that, and you know, John Harbaugh,

71
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: he's about relationship. He's kind of the key to that.

72
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: So I feel really comfortable conversating with any of them,

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 4: and that's not always, you know, easy, and it's not

74
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: always not every coach is like, hey, you know, call me.

75
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 4: But those guys enjoy relationships, enjoy getting to know you,

76
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: and I think it helps them have a better understanding

77
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 4: of what's going on and kind of seeing where everything is.

78
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 4: I'm just grateful to be a part of the Ravens,

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 4: uh flock, Ravens Nation, Ravens everything. I'm pumped to be

80
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: back with a group of guys and get back to work.

81
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: Did you have a golf with Robert Kraft?

82
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: I did?

83
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: I did. RKK is my guy too. RKK is awesome,

84
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 4: and you know, but those are the only two guys

85
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 4: that I've had relationships with.

86
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 2: V and just just knocking off all the owners on

87
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 2: the golf course.

88
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's less ship tour?

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: So last year obviously, I mean fourteen games, joined the Ravens,

90
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, early in the season, and then you bawled out.

91
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean nine sacks and fourteen games. How much do

92
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: you feel like? I feel like all year and when

93
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: we sat down with you on the couch last season,

94
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: you were like, I'm going to show y'all right, a

95
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: thirty plus year old pass rusher.

96
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: It still makes some waves.

97
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: In this league. No one believed me you did it.

98
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: Like, do you feel like even now happy to birthday?

99
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: I turned thirty three last week. Thanks, Like, do you

100
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: still kind of have that chip.

101
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: On your shoulder even after what you did last year?

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah? Of course I always do. You know.

103
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: I think it was a running joke with Justin and

104
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: uh Clowney. I was like, if I had three more

105
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: games out to beat all Yeah, but it's awesome the

106
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 4: competition of the group, and you know, the chip on

107
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: my shoulder. I don't think that'll ever go away, especially

108
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 4: you know, after you look at my entire career. You know,

109
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: two years in Detroit didn't go as well. Go to

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 4: New England find success, Go to Miami have one year,

111
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: you know that was a crazy story. Then go to

112
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 4: the Chargers kind of off the ball, and then you

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: know somebody got hurt. So I filled into that spot,

114
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 4: into that rusher. And then to now get a phone

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 4: call until you know, late late, I guess you know

116
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 4: from what people say, or I came straight off the

117
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: couch and to have a career year in sacks. It

118
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 4: just kind of shows you the resilience I have and

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 4: I'm always gonna have that because I always gotta. I

120
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: have kids now that I want to show that you

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 4: can do anything. I have an amazing wife that is

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 4: a great partner, that is the MVP of the family.

123
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: And I'm just the one that is able to have

124
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: a microphone mostly in front of me. But I have

125
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: an awesome support system that has allowed me to be

126
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 4: in this position and it's been amazing. And you know,

127
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: all that said, I've also grown too to you know,

128
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: be open, and I have a therapist now or a

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 4: life coach that I've been seeing that has helped me

130
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 4: because you know, all those bumps weren't easy. And you know,

131
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 4: I hope that if anybody's out there that needs help,

132
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 4: it's okay to speak out, it's okay to look for help.

133
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: I'm getting helps to this day. So I hope everyone

134
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 4: feels confident too or comfortable to speak up if they

135
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 4: need help.

136
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

137
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: Cool, that's powerful.

138
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: It's interesting like when you have your career as you

139
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 5: kind of just outlined, like these highs and these lows,

140
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: and then you end up getting here and it just

141
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: seemed like it all came together kind of at the

142
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: perfect time, perfect situation, and it was a combination. I

143
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 5: know a lot of times you got asked last year, like,

144
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 5: what is it about the defense? It's allowing you to

145
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: succeed right away? And you were like, well, me and

146
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 5: client you are pretty good players, so that helps, you know,

147
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 5: But what was it that, Like, it just felt like

148
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 5: everything kind of came together at the right time, right place,

149
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 5: right players.

150
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: Why was it that's such a great fit.

151
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 3: I think I've always been a Raven.

152
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: That's what hardball says, right, Yeah, it's like.

153
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: The best answer it could be is you know, I'll

154
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 4: tell you a crazy story about this. I actually played

155
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 4: for a former coach at one point who said that

156
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be a Raven, that I didn't fit that

157
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: mold of a Raven. And it's kind of funny that

158
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: it comes full circle that I am a Raven and

159
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 4: you know.

160
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: It was a farmer Ravens coach. You told you that

161
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: when you were with a different team.

162
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because we won't go there.

163
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: But it's just that I didn't fit, you know, his

164
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 4: style of play interesting, you know, as far as what

165
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: he was looking for and I wasn't, you know, the

166
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: biggest guy, because you know, usually the Ravens have bigger olbs.

167
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: And all that being said, it's kind of awesome to

168
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: go back to the resilient part that no matter what

169
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: people say, you know you can do anything you ever want.

170
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: And to be a part of this organization top tier

171
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: around some of the best players from Rokwon to Justin Madabique,

172
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: to Kyle Hamilton, Tyler Lindebaum to you know, our guy,

173
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson. It's awesome. And the other guys that are

174
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: going to be on their way too, from Bateman to

175
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: Zay Flowers, Brand Stevens.

176
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 3: Okay, stop it does.

177
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 2: I'm just curious.

178
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: I want to circle back to your life, coach, like,

179
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: what have you gleaned in recent years? I don't know

180
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: how recently that started that has changed you as a person.

181
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Oh man, babe.

182
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 4: Honestly, probably just everything, just life, enjoying life more and

183
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 4: join just being grateful all the time of the moments

184
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 4: and life's very short, and just enjoy everything highs and

185
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: lows because you never know why you're in those situations

186
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: and you should be grateful to be in there because

187
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 4: there's someone always that could have it worse and always

188
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: can have it better, so you can always strive to

189
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: be better.

190
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned, you know in enjoying things. I mean, now

191
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: you get to enjoy one place for an extended stay.

192
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, finally has been different.

193
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: Kind of been hopping around a little bit.

194
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: How much did that mean to you to kind of, hey,

195
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: this is this is home?

196
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

197
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that was a big part of it.

198
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: My wife calls Baltimore home all the time, and my

199
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 4: son loves the Ravens, and so it's kind of part

200
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 4: of our family. And we're very excited to be here.

201
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: You probably can't tell all the time with my monotone voice,

202
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: but I am very excited.

203
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am.

204
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 4: And I feel honored to be able to put a

205
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: Raven's jersey on and to compete for another championship. A

206
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 4: lot of things happened last year, good and bad. It

207
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 4: didn't end the way we wanted to. So to be

208
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 4: able to come back with a group and go at

209
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 4: it again to get another trophy is a blessing.

210
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 2: Are you monitoring Jadavian Clown?

211
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: He's got a free agency tour and where you two

212
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: text each other like, no, I get to come back.

213
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 4: Well, you know, it's funny. I'm always going to cheer

214
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: players on. You know, Clowney had a career year. To

215
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: be able to go back to Carolina in front of

216
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: his family and friends is awesome, and he got an

217
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: awesome deal with him.

218
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: So very happy for j D.

219
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: You know, I had my set my eyeset on this

220
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: place the whole time, So it wasn't it wasn't a

221
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: matter of if, it was just a matter of when.

222
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: Right.

223
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 2: Cool.

224
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 5: So, you know, this team obviously had a great season

225
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 5: last year, fell short the AFC Championship. But obviously I'm

226
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: sure there's a feeling of unfinished business. Like when Arthur

227
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 5: Molett came back and resigned. You know, we talked with

228
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 5: him about how and he just talked the whole time

229
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 5: about how he feels like part of the reason you

230
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: want to come back here is this this feeling of

231
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 5: unfinished business.

232
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: Was that was that part of it for you?

233
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: You know, I.

234
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 4: Don't I don't want to get into the saying of

235
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: unfinished business, but I think there's things that we want

236
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 4: to do, things that we want to accomplish. I really

237
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: bought into what we were doing last year. I really

238
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 4: believe that we have the pieces. I think we just

239
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 4: as a group need to put in a little more

240
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: work and whatever it is, whether it's a little more film,

241
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: or a little more after practice, or just a little

242
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 4: bit of a little bit more. And I think if

243
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 4: you just put a couple more percentages in every you know,

244
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: in different areas, whether it's you know, nutrition, whether it's

245
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: you know, treatment, I think, or film, you know, plays,

246
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 4: whatever it is, I think we could just put in

247
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: a little bit more as a group, and I think

248
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 4: we can be a little bit more successful. And I'm excited.

249
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: It's a challenge, got a tough schedule, playing a bunch

250
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 4: of really good teams.

251
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: A lot of teams have won the off.

252
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 4: Season super already, So excited for the challenge, excited for

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 4: the guys to come back. And I think, you know,

254
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: I said it a while back, I think to have

255
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 4: a leadership of Lamar Jackson and Roe Kwan Smith leading

256
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: your team like not every not that doesn't just happen

257
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 4: every year, But to have those type of guys and

258
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 4: to be the leaders of the team is I'm excited

259
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: to see their chip on their shoulders that they have

260
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 4: and see how they lead.

261
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 3: Us this year.

262
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's interesting because I've always always value your perspective

263
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: when it comes to what it takes to win a championship.

264
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 5: You've done it, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, believe it or not,

265
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 5: but like, you know what it takes, you've done it.

266
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 5: You're one of the guys on this on this team

267
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 5: that's that's hoisted that trophy. And and so I look

268
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 5: at Lamar and knowing how bad he wants to win

269
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 5: it as a veteran player, when you look at him

270
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 5: and how much he's driven by that, like, how do

271
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 5: you see that kind of affect everybody on this team

272
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: from a leadership standpoint.

273
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a standard. He sets the standard of excellence

274
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: of perfection, and I think he needs to take it

275
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 4: to another notch personally. That's not a knock on him

276
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 4: that he's not doing a good job. I just think

277
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: he can take it another stock for another notch because

278
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 4: he's that that good and he can be that great.

279
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 4: And if he does that, then everybody else is going

280
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 4: to take it up a notch. And I know he

281
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: will because I'm pretty sure he took that loss last

282
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 4: year as just as tough as anyone, if not the toughest,

283
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: because he's the franchise quarterback, so all of the weight

284
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 4: is on his shoulder, so I can imagine when he

285
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 4: comes back, he's going to be ready. So a lot

286
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 4: of trash talk in that practice competition.

287
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: I'm excited you're going to give them some of that

288
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,239
Speaker 2: trash talk too, I assume.

289
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course we're both from Broward County.

290
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 5: If he's trash talk on the owner, he's definitely trash

291
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 5: talk on the corners.

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

293
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 2: So one thing I'm excited about it is this pass

294
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: rusher room. I mean, bringing you back and combining you with.

295
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: A Daffio, a David a job Otavius, Robinson, Lee Cam

296
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: some of those other pieces.

297
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: It's really exciting.

298
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: You know, what do you see from some of those

299
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: younger guys as they continue to progress in their game,

300
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: and is the veterans still racing them exactly?

301
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 4: Of course, it's always going to be a friendly competition.

302
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: I think those guys know that I'm going to push them,

303
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 4: and they know that I'm always.

304
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 3: Going to help them.

305
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 4: I want them to be just as successful as me,

306
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: if not more. That's just my attitude. I love winning,

307
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: and so if that whatever fashion that is, that's what

308
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 4: it is. I believe and how I approach the game.

309
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 4: And I think I had a great relationship with Doff,

310
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 4: happy that he progressed as as far as he did

311
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: after the injuries he suffered last year, and Ajabo and

312
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 4: Robinson t rob just his progression, very mature rookie, and

313
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 4: then Ham got to see the whole deal sitting out.

314
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 4: And so I think we're an underrated group. I think

315
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 4: everybody there was question marks last year, and we put

316
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 4: exclamations on it, and I think we're going to continue

317
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 4: to do the same. It all starts with not just

318
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: the pass rush, but the coverage. And I think if

319
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 4: we continue to put eleven guys in the sink in sync,

320
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: the pass rush and coverage will all take care of itself.

321
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of people obviously who are concerned

322
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: about the Ravens' losses. Right, you know you have Mike

323
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: McDonald goes out to cl and we've lost some free

324
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of free agents. Yeah, you know,

325
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: what do you see from Zach orr and taking over

326
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: this defense and what do you feel like this defense

327
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: can still do well?

328
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 4: Knowing Zach is going to be aggressive. Zach is an

329
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 4: awesome leader. He's a guy you want to play for

330
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: just because of he cares about his guys, his relationship

331
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 4: where it starts, relationships matter to him, and building that

332
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: trust to when times get tough, he knows he can

333
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 4: tell you how it is and you're going to respond

334
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: in the way you need to. And then just with

335
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 4: the guys that they've brought and have built around this defense.

336
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 4: It's always awesome to have a guy like ro Kwan.

337
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: And then justin coming back up front, he's going to

338
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: be that leader of defense as well as the fun

339
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 4: bunch Mike, p and Herb and so then you have

340
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 4: Hamilton and we got to get Marlow going this year.

341
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: He's going to be great healthy.

342
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mark, So things are going to things are things

343
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 4: are looking up, and we just got to continue to work.

344
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 4: I think at the end of the day, you know,

345
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: less talk and more work.

346
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's just going to say you talk about the work.

347
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: One thing I have to ask you the big question.

348
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: I remember certain press conference after a game when you

349
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 1: had a big game and he said, who needs training camp?

350
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 2: Your sign?

351
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's awesome. Well it's April.

352
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: Between now and then time for the golf course.

353
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: That's funny, that is or John John.

354
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: Back here.

355
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 4: Man.

372
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: I mean this is I think fans. In this interview

373
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 5: and also the one we did with him back during

374
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 5: the season, you get a sense for you know, who

375
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 5: he is personally, and you know he's a I think

376
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: he's a guy that people are people really respect in

377
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 5: the locker room. Yeah, good player, but also a highly

378
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 5: respected player, veteran who knows what it takes to win.

379
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: So, I mean he is a track record of productivity.

380
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: Really you look at it.

381
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: I mean, the past five seasons he hadn't had any

382
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: you know, he'd always hit five or more sacks. Coming

383
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: off a career year last year with nine sacks at

384
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: thirty two, obviously, the question is how can he replicate

385
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: that and or how close can he get? But you

386
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: know he's a guy that goes beyond sacks. Also, Hey,

387
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 1: I think that he'll continue getting sacks because he has

388
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: his whole career. Whether he gets nine or not, I

389
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: don't know. But he did it in fourteen games, so theoretically,

390
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, with the fool season, he should have a

391
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: chance to even more. And you know, he also brings

392
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: I think a lot to the Sam linebacker position, which

393
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: the Ravens need. That versatility, being able to drop into coverage.

394
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: That's an important position for the Ravens. And especially when

395
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: you look at tyas Bowser team parting ways with him,

396
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: you know you needed that Sam linebacker that can really

397
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: drop back do a lot of different things in your defense.

398
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: It's an important position for the Ravens, and kyleve Noy

399
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: really checks that box.

400
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 5: Here's the other thing that I like about the move

401
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: is without bringing back van Noy, you really were in

402
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 5: a limited like your options were limited. A pass rusher

403
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 5: now o Way and a Jaba could you know, could

404
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: have monster seasons?

405
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 3: Right?

406
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 2: They could?

407
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 5: They could have this breakout seasons that you're hoping for,

408
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 5: but they could not. And so you basically, if you

409
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 5: don't bring back van Noy, you.

410
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 2: Can really betting on those guys.

411
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: But that was honestly the same position the Ravens were

412
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: in last offseason, right, I mean they went into training

413
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: camp with everybody being like I wrote a big story

414
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: about it, oh Way and Ojabo. The Ravens are pushing

415
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: their chips into the middle of the table for those

416
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: two young guys, and they are still I don't think

417
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: that resigning van Ney means, you know, we don't need

418
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: as much like those guys need to step up because

419
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: Clowney's also not here.

420
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: Yep, Right, you had nine and a half sacks.

421
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: But when I look at it, and you look at

422
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: a team that led the league in sacks last year,

423
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: and you say, can they do it again? Well, Okay,

424
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: you're trying to make up for nine and a half

425
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 1: sacks from Clowney beyond the sacks of pressures and all

426
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: that stuff. Like, I think if David Ajaba stays healthy,

427
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: he's a guy that certainly has the potential to get

428
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: to that number alone. I think Godaffi Oway in with

429
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 1: the strides he made last year, he's guy that can

430
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: reach double digit sacks for sure. So if those both

431
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: those guys elevate their games, stay healthy and all that

432
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: stuff combined. Now with Van Noy returning, then yeah, I

433
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 1: do think you can get there. Mattabique coming back, and

434
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: we've both said before that he could, he's still kind

435
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: of just scratching the surface of his potential. So yes,

436
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: I do think the Ravens can replicate the pressure success,

437
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 1: the sax success that they had last year. And bringing

438
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: back Calvin Noy, I think gives you that insurance that

439
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: that added Yeah, we know what we can expect from

440
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: this guy to get there.

441
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: It kind of gives you a sure thing there.

442
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, So you have some question, you have questions, especially

443
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 5: with the Jaba coming back from the entry, So that's

444
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 5: the question, and now you have a sure thing there

445
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 5: and you can go. I always remember, you know, Ozzie

446
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 5: News someone would often talk about how you basically you

447
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 5: want to go into the draft where you don't in

448
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 5: the perfect world, of course, you don't have any holes

449
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: that totally we need to get.

450
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: A pass rusher. You need to get this position.

451
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 5: That's the perfect scenario. So then you can just truly

452
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: go best player available. You know, that's easier set than done.

453
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 5: But the Rave is now going to this draft without

454
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 5: feeling like pass rusher is not as big of an

455
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 5: ee as it was a week ago.

456
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

457
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I still expect that they will take a rusher

458
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: at some point during this draft. But I think before

459
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: the van Neys signing, you were saying it needs to

460
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: happen probably with the one of the first three picks,

461
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: and now you're like, okay, maybe one of the first

462
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: five or six picks, you know what I mean, Like

463
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: like one of the first usher.

464
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: It could be a middle.

465
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: Round guy, right as another developmental you know, Tavis Robinson

466
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: last year was a Day three guy, So it could

467
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: be another player like a Tavis Robinson on a Day

468
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: three or a Matthew Judon on a Day three, somebody

469
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: that can You're not expecting them in year one to

470
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: come in and make a huge splash.

471
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally. So I think it's a good move.

472
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 5: I think it allows this defense to maintain a veteran

473
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 5: presence as well as a proven player, and so he's

474
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: clearly excited to be back here. I think fans certainly,

475
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 5: you know, I thought it was interesting to hear him

476
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 5: say talk about the relationship that he has with Steep

477
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 5: a Shiny.

478
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: How important that was. That was interesting.

479
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was interesting. Maybe their head to a golf

480
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 5: course right now, who knows. But also how he feels

481
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 5: like this is a guy that's been multiple places in

482
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 5: his career, and how he feels like just this organization.

483
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: You hear this from veteran players, but I just think

484
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: it always it always means something when you have a

485
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 5: guy that's been a number of different places and just

486
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 5: feels like this place is something that is somewhere where

487
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 5: you want it to be.

488
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 2: We've heard that so many times.

489
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: I really do think that Baltimore has built a reputation

490
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: for being a good place for veterans to go. Veterans

491
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: on the back nine talking about golf there the back

492
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: nine of their career, a great place for them to

493
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: land and be productive and all that, and this contract

494
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: even shows Yeah, it can also be a place where

495
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: you get another contract. Right, it's not doesn't have to

496
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: just be a one year or whatever. This is the

497
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,479
Speaker 1: last contract you get, you know before you ride off

498
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: in the sunset. Hey, you can come here be productive

499
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: as a veteran and then because you like the culture

500
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: and like everything about it. Yeah, like we'll bring you

501
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: back again sometimes. You know, if you play well like

502
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: kylevan Noy did, so that reputation is real, that's backed up,

503
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: and to hear it from another guy like calvan Noy

504
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: is it makes you feel good about what the Ravens

505
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: are Bilt.

506
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a good point on like veterans

507
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 5: coming here and then using that as a springboard even

508
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 5: to get additional contracts. And Noy just got a two

509
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 5: year deal. Clown he got the deal with Carolina, Ronald

510
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 5: Darby got a nice contract. Arthur Mulette came back here

511
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: and in a contract. So like you have these veteran

512
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: players who come here and play really well, and now

513
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 5: they get reward with new contracts.

514
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: In addition to the players the Ravens draft develop and

515
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: then they go elsewhere and get big contract it's like

516
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: a Geno stone all those guys.

517
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it's I think it's good to have him back,

518
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 5: and I think he's excited to be here and just

519
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 5: talking with him, you can feel that, and we're fired

520
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: up to have him here as well. So as always,
