00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Tuesday,

2
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: July twenty third, and the Ravens held another practice of

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: training camp today. Afterwards, we had a chance to hear

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: from head coach John Harpball.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: Okay, great to see you guys here. Appreciate you heat

6
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 2: it up again today and it was good for us.

7
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: Everybody handled the heat very well. There's an acclamation element

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 2: to that. Our guys are doing a good job getting

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: in football shape in the heat. And then we've got

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: taps here, one of the great programs military related for

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 2: military families that have made that sacrifice, and we really

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: appreciate when they come out. That's a great group of people,

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: family oriented organization.

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: What question do you have.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 4: A way out there? I did see the big competible cap.

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: I had to pull the reins it on a little bit,

17
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: you know, and he understands.

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: We guys stay.

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: Away from the quarterback as much as possible. You don't

20
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: want to have any any car crashes out there. But

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: he's doing a great job and he's bringing it. He's

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 2: pretty much been in the backfield every play, so we

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: appreciate it. John did fall Ala is someone that you

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: guys have talked about moving at guard in the past,

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: but haven't done it a whole lot.

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 3: In the spring and alis sort of camp, he's worked

27
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: there a lot.

28
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 4: How does he look there and what do you like about.

29
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: Him that maybe that now's the time for him to

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 3: play more.

31
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: Well, that's a great point. When we do, we're gonna

32
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: give it a shot and see how it looks. And

33
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: Daniel's got very good feet for his size. I mean,

34
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 2: he's a big man, but he can move his feet.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: He can also bend and create leverage. And you've got

36
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: that kind of size and you're coming off the ball

37
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: in some of those combination blocks. We feel like he's

38
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: got a chance with with Tyler to move people in there.

39
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: So all those things keeps working on using his hands.

40
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: Things happen quicker. You gotta get your hands up quicker,

41
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: get your hands on.

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: People a little quicker. He's working on that part of

43
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 4: it too, so we'll see how he adapts.

44
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 5: John playing a.

45
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 4: Root tape a bunch of guys wrote his thoughts a

46
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: couple of weeks aga, Well, you know we're gonna try it.

47
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: We've got certain guys that are moving in certain positions,

48
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: you know, Pat McCarry right tackle mostly right now. But

49
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: also you know he's gonna be center, backup center, so

50
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: he'll some backup center reps. So kind of they work

51
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 2: their primary spot their secondary spot. Some guys work both guards,

52
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 2: some guys stay on the left side. Different guys, different situations.

53
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 6: You see.

54
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 7: I know there are different peoples and snaps at center

55
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 7: than the last three days that just to push from

56
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 7: even to the eleven and eleven feels.

57
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 5: Full light out, the trendy.

58
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: Else are just wanting to get a look at you're

59
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: finishing well.

60
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: I think it's a function of that, those two things,

61
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 2: plus the fact that.

62
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 4: The more you can do, the better you are.

63
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: And you always got to have a center that's capable

64
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: of snapping making the calls. I mean, if you get

65
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 2: to a game and you got a center, you don't

66
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: have a center, you get two injuries and you're out

67
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: of business.

68
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 4: That's a problem.

69
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: So if you can develop your guards usually to play

70
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: to be a backup or a third center, that just

71
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: gives you a peace of mind when the time comes.

72
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes you don't want to give up the reps here,

73
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: but I think it's worth it. Those guys going in

74
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,799
Speaker 2: and getting those reps get there I'm sure he's closer

75
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: to getting out there than he was. It's just a

76
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: matter of when he's gonna you know, the doctors are

77
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 2: gonna clear him. He's gonna feel goodenough.

78
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: John Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

79
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 3: Right.

80
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: I mean it's not something that in training camp as

81
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: a coach you give much thought to right now because

82
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 2: we're immersed in our team. But uh, you know, I

83
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: just think it's good to see the NFL, in the

84
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: NFL PA work together on these things. That's you like

85
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: to see everybody kind of come together for what's best

86
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: for all all all parties, including the fans. I mean,

87
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 2: the fans are kind of the main driver of all

88
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: of it. So we'll see where it goes. But we're

89
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: focused on what we're doing.

90
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 8: Uh, we're here for Alata later. We know how versatile

91
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 8: he is, but just to hear the press means how

92
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 8: much you think he might get you got you got

93
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 8: to talk about the Valantine and who could be I

94
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 8: might be able to do most damage about doing this

95
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 8: or that or just wander.

96
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: You know, as he gets older, it gets more experienced,

97
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: and he's so flos to as you guys might.

98
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

99
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: I mean that's again, the more he could do you

100
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: move guys around. You always try to have players do

101
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: what primarily as much as possible, what they do well

102
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: and minimize the things they don't do quite as well.

103
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: So you have a player like cal Hamilton does so

104
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: many things so well, you want to get him in

105
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: a position to do all those things you guys do.

106
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Backfuss like, yeah, I think we could see more of that.

107
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: You know, we've got certainly got the guys for it

108
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 2: back there that can play it so and and uh,

109
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: you know, we've got a younger, a younger version of

110
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: p Q now, so that's kind of probably where we're

111
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: at with him, John, What.

112
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 9: Do you see is that trojects me for Jayden Armor

113
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 9: Davis and Pepe Milliam's kind of same draft year struggle

114
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 9: with some injuries.

115
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 4: What do he sees their projector?

116
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: And he sees that you have a big year for

117
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: both those guys, Uh, Pepe and and Jalen. And they're

118
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 2: we both practicing so well right now. That's the thing

119
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: I'm excited. First three days in they've both been excellent.

120
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: I mean, Jalen's made numerous plays in the ball. Peppy

121
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: hasn't had those chances, but he's been in the right

122
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: spots all the time, moving well. Pepe's finally healthy, Jalen's

123
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: finally healthy. So we'll see what they can do. But

124
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm I'm very I'm very confident that they're gonna do well.

125
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 6: Yea light healthy.

126
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 4: Well he cam.

127
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see him out during games. I mean,

128
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: he's a guy we really liked last year. He's healthy,

129
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 2: he looks strong to me, another guy we're excited to see.

130
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: He looks good.

131
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 5: We can do more good.

132
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 4: I mean, fully back down. He does.

133
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: He even told me that, you know, he's finally back

134
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: and he's right and he looks right, so that's a

135
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: good thing.

136
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: We also talk with cornerback Marlin Humphrey, who's been one

137
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: of the standouts so far in training camp.

138
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 10: You get sick, Yeah, I I slimmed down a little bit.

139
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: I Uh, it's kind of about.

140
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 10: A sign, but it was, Uh, I just I kind

141
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 10: of looked at the past, kind of looked at some

142
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 10: of my better seasons and I was a little bit

143
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 10: lighter in those in those years.

144
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 4: So decided to to get around a little bit lower

145
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 4: a weight.

146
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 10: And uh, I've been I've been feeling I've been feeling

147
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 10: moving pretty well at it, so we'll kind of see

148
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 10: how wiggles.

149
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: Around with training camp.

150
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 10: I've been I've really been taking advantage of uh Sarah

151
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 10: our new uh nutritionists I think her title is. But

152
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 10: I've really been Uh I've been really trying to lean

153
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 10: on the resources that's the Ravens offer, and uh do do.

154
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 4: Things kind of the.

155
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 10: The right way instead of my usual which is just

156
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 10: like don't eat, which is just not not the best route.

157
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 10: So UH really really been trying to slim up a

158
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 10: little bit and then UH just kind of go to

159
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 10: kind of the plan that she's put out for me.

160
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 10: I'm around the one ninety. I came in one. I've

161
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 10: been playing the past couple of seasons, probably around two

162
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 10: hundred or so, so that's uh basically ever since I, Uh,

163
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 10: I've tore my peck as I hit I think around

164
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 10: like twenty five. I got my grown man weight on

165
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 10: me and it just never went off. So I just

166
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 10: stuck with it. But uh, it's a young man's game,

167
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 10: so I decided to get a little lower.

168
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: You direct your career inside out and trying to Verdon

169
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: first of the watching.

170
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 4: And Kyle Hamilton to be able to tys for.

171
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 10: Him and then, uh, I wish I could say that,

172
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 10: but Kyle is he's a he's a he's a man

173
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 10: of his own. But how he's able to go from

174
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 10: safety to to nickel to bounce really play wherever, you know,

175
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 10: I always tell people, I think, if you had, if

176
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 10: it had to be coll to play every position on

177
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 10: the on the defensive step nose guard, because he just

178
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 10: can't put on as much weight.

179
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 4: It's not Pierce.

180
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 10: But I think with his ability to move around, my

181
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 10: ability to move around, it'll work really well for this

182
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 10: secondary that you can get me be Steve Nata on

183
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 10: the field all at the same time, Brandon's played inside

184
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 10: in the past, He's played safe at the past. So

185
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 10: I think with just the what Nate's already shown, and

186
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 10: if he continues to keep building those days, it'll be

187
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 10: just a lot of plays being made for this secondary.

188
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 10: With Eddie included, there'll be so many different packages so

189
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 10: and teams just won't know what we're doing, who's playing

190
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 10: what Anybody can line up anywhere, and that's kind of

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 10: the exciting thing about being in the secondary. It's just

192
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 10: you know, we just got to keep working day by day.

193
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 10: Coach Chris always says and I don't even know if

194
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 10: this is true.

195
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 4: I'm assuming it's true.

196
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 10: He says, some guy came up with a cotton gin

197
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 10: and he made one that you can move, all the

198
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 10: pieces they can put wherever, and he uses that as

199
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 10: an analogy of our secondary. I don't know who that

200
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 10: guy is, but long story shorts basis say, learn every position.

201
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 4: So in a game the best six dvs can play.

202
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 10: You don't ever want to be in a position where

203
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 10: you got a guy that should be a planned but

204
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 10: he can only play one position. So that's the biggest

205
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 10: thing that I think we'll see a lot in the secondary,

206
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 10: just because you know EDC and the scouting department has

207
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 10: put the star players all we have enough depth to be.

208
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 4: Able to do that the most parts of the people.

209
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: It seems like we've got to really Florida team. So

210
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 4: he's really fit right in.

211
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 10: It kind of seemed like he didn't really need to

212
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 10: make any new friends honestly, which was rare. But uh,

213
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 10: you know, I loved Ddie when I played with him

214
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 10: at Obama. Obviously he's a ball hog. Already had a

215
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 10: pick six I think yesterday. So what is gonna bring

216
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 10: to the team is you know, kind of filling in

217
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 10: that that uh, that role that Gen know play last

218
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 10: year where he was able to be very successful and

219
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 10: then different other other pieces he can do. So he

220
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 10: was definitely a piece we we needed to kind of

221
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 10: we kind of got that depth in the corner position

222
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 10: in the draft and we just kind of needed that

223
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 10: one more safety and a couple of other editions that

224
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 10: I'm sure we'll probably add. Uh, you know, we always

225
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 10: love it late in the camp signing, so problem sure

226
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 10: there's more pieces to come. But I love the team

227
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 10: we got, love the guys we got. I think if

228
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 10: we could start the season right now, we'd be good

229
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 10: to go. But if they feel we need to add guys,

230
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 10: it's it's a it's never a bad things.

231
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: The talk at any point baseball last a couple of

232
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: years going to the safety and in particular what the iss.

233
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 4: No, there hasn't been.

234
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 10: That's uh, That's something I've always seen myself doing, though

235
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 10: I've just uh, that's just kind of now how I

236
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 10: how I kind of envisioned my career. Honestly, it's kind

237
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 10: of coming in the league was not how it should be.

238
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 10: I always had this weird thing that I wanted to

239
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 10: play for like six teams and then I realized that's

240
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 10: not cool at all to play for a lot of teams. So, uh,

241
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 10: but safety is something that I that I still think

242
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 10: I'd end up doing one of these one of these years.

243
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 10: So it hasn't been any talks of that, but I

244
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 10: know there's definitely been talks of me or b Seve

245
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 10: bumping in a nickel, you know, just like I said,

246
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 10: just to be able to where we can bump move

247
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 10: around in any way.

248
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: Okay, because you and then you don't make excuse you

249
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 5: feel healthy at any point lesson how do you feel now?

250
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 10: For yeah, man, it's uh. Last year was it was

251
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 10: a unique year. It was Uh, it was it was

252
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 10: a lot of first I would say it was a

253
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 10: mentally you know, I always felt I don't know, I'm

254
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 10: just I'm a mental guy. So I always go into

255
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 10: any game thinking I'm ready to go. I mean the

256
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 10: first game I sprent it one time before I played

257
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 10: in the first game on that Friday.

258
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 4: So it was a lot of things of.

259
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 10: Every time I felt like I was pretty healthy, I

260
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 10: seemed like it seemed like I hurt the next game.

261
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 10: So but you know, not really making you know, the excuses,

262
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 10: but it's, uh, basically what I what I've tried to

263
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 10: do this offseason is to prepare a little better for

264
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 10: even when you're hurt, getting whatever or whatever's you know,

265
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 10: you got to prepare for the worst. So even if

266
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 10: your leg is hurt, what can you do to still

267
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 10: get mental reps and also just breathing as much as gain,

268
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 10: doing anything with your arms, getting whatever you can. I

269
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 10: think that's kind of some of the things I regret

270
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 10: last year, is attacking the rehab, but also what can

271
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 10: you do to stay in it for when when you're

272
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 10: ready to go.

273
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 4: So that was probably the one of the things.

274
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 10: I was trying to have certain injuries where you needed rest,

275
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 10: and I think I overtook some of the rest time

276
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 10: and then just thought I could just play in the

277
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 10: game Sunday and be be.

278
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: My usual self.

279
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 10: So that's probably some of the things I regret. But mainly,

280
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 10: you know, it's it's such a long season. I wasn't

281
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 10: really used to being hurt a lot, you know, so

282
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 10: it was it was it was just something I wasn't

283
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 10: used to. I know a lot of guys going to

284
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 10: games hurt every single game. I've done that a ton

285
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 10: in my past as well, but last year just was

286
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 10: was a little different for me. But but I'm kind

287
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 10: of ready for whatever the ship.

288
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like I like playing Nickel.

289
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 10: I I Nickel, you you kind of I like hitting

290
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 10: people and uh, you can get pretty aggresive at corner,

291
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 10: but you just can't get too aggressive. So playing Nickel

292
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 10: is I've a The first time I ever played Nickel,

293
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 10: it was with Wink and I think we had to

294
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 10: our first two games. It was a top receiver at Nickel,

295
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 10: I mean had a slot receiver, and he was like,

296
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 10: why don't you just match up and follow the guy

297
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 10: in there.

298
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 4: I wasn't very comfortable with it.

299
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 10: I didn't really want to do it, but I just

300
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 10: I was just a team guy, so I went with it,

301
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 10: and then I really kind of started enjoying it. You know,

302
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 10: made my first two Pro Bowls kind of predominantly playing

303
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 10: inside there.

304
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 4: So it's a place I'm comfortable in.

305
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 10: But you know, whichever, whichever way it goes, whatever week,

306
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 10: the game plan is. I know, Kyle is a Swiss

307
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 10: army knife, so what he can do with Nickel and

308
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 10: and safety and everything is is whatever.

309
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: So I'm kind of down for whatever.

310
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Another first round quarterback is Nate Wiggins that he talked

311
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: with the media today.

312
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 9: You're being targeted that much through OTAs and training cap

313
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 9: or and Minnie camp. But we've seen you get targeted

314
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 9: a few times in training camp already been making plays

315
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 9: on the ball. Do you feel like there's been a

316
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 9: shift in You're a billion bike plays on the ball

317
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 9: now that the ball is getting actually thrown at you.

318
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, I feel like that's a it's a good job.

319
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 7: It's a good thing. That's the ball again passing my way,

320
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 7: so I can, uh, you like, better work on my technique,

321
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 7: getting my eyes around for the ball, playing the ball better.

322
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: So I feel like it's a good thing.

323
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 5: It's only been a.

324
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 9: Few days, but it's a power for you. What's the

325
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 9: biggest difference between getting.

326
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 7: Right for the season in college and then you're really

327
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 7: just I mean probably just meetings, longer meetings for real.

328
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 6: I mean, football is gonna be football. It's really not.

329
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 7: It's really not different than college is just probably been

330
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 7: been in the billing all day.

331
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: It's really a job now. So yeah, and you.

332
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: If you're a guy who's watched at the college tape,

333
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: totally trust your make up spears.

334
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 3: It's clearly you do.

335
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: And then at the NFL level, if you're beend in an

336
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: additional pressure and get a little bit more gravvy than

337
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: you do.

338
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 6: Uh No, I don't really feel like I'm getting grabby.

339
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 7: I just feel like, uh I'm better, Like I'm trying

340
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 7: to work better than not like using my ketch up,

341
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 7: speeding more, using my hands better than line of scrimmers.

342
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 5: Now.

343
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 7: Uh, I'm not trying to use my speed. So yeah,

344
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 7: I I feel like that's what I need to change.

345
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 8: You need a lot of a lot of corners that don't

346
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 8: practically especially, but I feel like the to talk and

347
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,400

Speaker 7: I feel like, uh, this bring me more confidence in

354
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 7: my game, just talking to the receiver.

355
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 6: Getting in his head.

356
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,280

Speaker 7: uh to the room. Just just been there, you know,

386
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 7: like most of the whole defense. So I asked him

387
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 7: questions and he just put me in where I need

388
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 7: to be.

389
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 4: Ley down.

390
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 8: How much do you think it's gonna help you? Playing in

391
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 8: the secondary where there's so much talent, you know, and

392
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 8: gods should have experiences.

393
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 4: You can go to multiple people for a.

394
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: Blafe, you know.

395
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 6: I feel like that's gonna help me a lot.

396
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 7: Like you said, I can just go to anybody, anybody

397
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 7: in the dB room asking them questions.

398
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 6: So I feel like that's gonna happen me in the

399
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 6: long run.

400
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 8: You feel like that's kind of taking you under their wing.

401
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 7: And I feel like everybody, like all the events in

402
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 7: the in the room, taking all the young kids, uh,

403
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 7: guiding them through the through the coverages, through the practice.

404
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: So the Ravens also have Kyle Hamilton on the back

405
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: end of the defense. He's one of the best, the

406
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: most versatile players in all of football, and he talked

407
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: about what his expectations are for this year.

408
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: It's everybody, how are we doing? How was summer?

409
00:17:59,200 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 9: Sure?

410
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: Nice, It'll be back few.

411
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 9: Seasons, Zam. We've seen you do just about everything that

412
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 9: a safety can be asked to do in the NFL.

413
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 9: Do you feel like there's still things that you can

414
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 9: add to your game or is it more about refining

415
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 9: and improving all the different aspects of things that you Uh.

416
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: I think it's a yes to both of those.

417
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 11: I think there's a lot of stuff that you guys

418
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 11: may not notice that my coaches may not notice that

419
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 11: I know I can improve on do better. And I

420
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 11: think there's a lot of players that I left out

421
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 11: there last year and gives me something to kind of

422
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 11: work on and uh in terms of that including in

423
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 11: addition to the leading and being more vocal and stuff

424
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 11: like that, kind of stepping into a role now that

425
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 11: I've you know, had a good year, it's just time

426
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 11: to build on that, not only as with my play,

427
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 11: but also as a leader.

428
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 8: When you came into the league, did you envision yourself

429
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 8: playing this many spots?

430
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 4: And has it grown on you? I mean, do you

431
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: like it more than you thought? Or did you something

432
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: you always wanted?

433
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 8: If it's curious what your thought was gonna happen supposed

434
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 8: to what has happened.

435
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think at Notre Dame, I did a little

436
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 11: bit of everything. Coming in the league. You know, I

437
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 11: don't know, I really didn't expect to. I think I'm

438
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 11: more expected to just play both safety spots. I think

439
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 11: that was going to be the extent of my flexibility.

440
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 11: But it's been awesome to just be able to move around,

441
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 11: learn more about the defense, stuff like that. And I

442
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 11: just said something to somebody else over there, like I

443
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 11: just go week to week.

444
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: Just Monday meetings, come in.

445
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 11: Whatever they need me to do, if that's play deep,

446
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 11: play in the half, play down the box, cover whatever

447
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 11: they need me to do, I'm here for it, and

448
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 11: uh just want to get better at everything.

449
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 5: Do you notice that from inside the secondary?

450
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: How do you mean conspicuous?

451
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 11: Okay, I thought you were trying to say it was suspect.

452
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 11: I was like, oh wow, uh I didn't graduate. Can

453
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 11: repread the question? Sorry, this secondary looks fast?

454
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 3: Okay, there we go. Yes, it does look fast to

455
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 3: me as well.

456
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 11: Kind of funny you look around the room and you

457
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 11: know Nate obviously ran forward too. I'm probably the slowest

458
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 11: guy in there at well, at least at the combine.

459
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 11: But yeah, we got Marlin in there, Marcus is running.

460
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 11: Everybody's running in that room. And I think that's a

461
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 11: big thing along with us conditioning and being out there

462
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 11: getting a lot of reps. You know, running fast for

463
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 11: a long time not getting tired is a huge advantage,

464
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 11: especially going in the later parts of the season. And

465
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 11: you know, it's just say that we can't get off

466
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 11: the field in a series and we're going in to

467
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 11: play thirteen in the high red zone and we need

468
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 11: to stop. And that's something that we might have given

469
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 11: up a touchdown on last year, and so we're just

470
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 11: building on conditioning and add more speed to the room.

471
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: Attention wise, it's not something you're really big into when

472
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: we talked about that last year. But now that you've

473
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: become a star in the league, But what was it

474
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: like going for the off season in regard whether opportunities

475
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: for thing to do.

476
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 4: If you embrace that a little more, you're still like, oh.

477
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 9: God, this sucks.

478
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: Yes and no.

479
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 11: I think it's kind of funny to see, I guess

480
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,439
Speaker 11: for lack of better where it's just like notoriety that

481
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 11: I've gotten from playing well and kind of almost feels

482
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 11: like expected, like this is supposed to happen. And in

483
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 11: my household and my mom is just like my dad,

484
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 11: everybody's just like, yeah, you're supposed to get better here

485
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 11: two and do well and get accolades.

486
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: So that's just.

487
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 11: Kind of what the norm was. I mean, it's obviously

488
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 11: I'm super grateful for it and everything that's come with it.

489
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 11: I've always said I want to be rich. I don't

490
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 11: want to be famous. So I mean, I think I'm

491
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 11: cool where I'm at on the level of fame. Uh,

492
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 11: maybe could get even lower, but but now it's it's

493
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 11: super exciting just to have the opportunities as well.

494
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 3: And be part of all this.

495
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 11: Eddie Jackson, oh Bell jack he's uh, well he first

496
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 11: practice he went out there got a pick six, which

497
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 11: was fire.

498
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 3: He's really cool, dude.

499
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 11: You know, it's always funny hearing him tell stories about

500
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 11: college Marlon and how wild he was, and you know,

501
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 11: he's kind of toned it down a little bit now.

502
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 11: So but he's another vet that we seem to do

503
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 11: this all the time, just get these vets that come

504
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 11: here and do so much for us during the season,

505
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 11: and it's it's gonna be so big for us to

506
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 11: have him as a part of the team. And with

507
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 11: the other guys in the dB room, we're just so

508
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 11: deep at that in that room that it's just we

509
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 11: can never get tired. We can never have somebody that's

510
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 11: on the field that's a liability. It's just such a

511
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 11: disadvantage for the offense to trot it out the same

512
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 11: people and have us rotating guys, and I think it's

513
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 11: really special to have him where my.

514
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 3: Mom SATs Marlin did.

515
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess have you noticed it?

516
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 3: No?

517
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 11: I mean, uh no, Yeah, I actually did notice a

518
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 11: little bit. He was getting a little gut last year.

519
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 11: He wasn't playing a lot. I mean, he just had

520
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 11: a little chunkiness, but he dropped it. He's at his

521
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 11: property and Dama doing the workouts, and you know, he's

522
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 11: looking good. He's uh, he's got the abs back, he's

523
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 11: looking good out there, he's running, he's covering very well

524
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 11: right now, and excited to see him this year.

525
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 8: Now, when you watch film from week to week, how

526
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 8: much do you ever go to the coaches to say, like,

527
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 8: I think this week, if I do this, I can

528
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 8: cause most damage and like you're looking forward to maybe

529
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,919
Speaker 8: as you learn more, having even more input, like a

530
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 8: back and forth with them about what you should do.

531
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 11: Not really, honestly, I kind of let them do their

532
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 11: job in that area also. I mean I was in

533
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 11: year two last year even though I was playing well,

534
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 11: It's like kind of got earn your stripes before you

535
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 11: start doing that. So but yeah, they did a great job.

536
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 11: Was just putting me where I needed to be. And

537
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 11: putting everybody in the position to be successful last year,

538
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 11: So I really didn't feel the need to say that

539
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 11: going into a game. If there were any disputes or

540
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 11: confusion out on the practice field during a game week,

541
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 11: they're all for us saying something or we don't see

542
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 11: it playing like this, We see you playing like that,

543
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 11: and we'll change it for the game plan. And I

544
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 11: appreciate them. And that's top to bottom with the offense

545
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 11: as well. They do that and special teams. It's just

546
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 11: it's a symbiotic relationship between us and the coaches for sure.

547
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 11: And all hearing this about Marlin, you seem to be

548
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 11: a guy who's one of his closest friends in the building.

549
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: Did you sense last year how much he was annoyed

550
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 3: that he wasn't able to be himself of the injury

551
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 3: six stee and one.

552
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, I think he's still, I mean super young. I

553
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 11: think he came in at twenty so he's going into

554
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 11: year eight. He just turned twenty eight, and he's still

555
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 11: moving really fast. He's one of the fast guys on

556
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 11: the team. And I think he hasn't had a ton

557
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 11: of injuries besides the peck. I think a few years ago,

558
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 11: and it's just it's tough to see a guy work

559
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 11: so hard and not be able to reap the benefits

560
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 11: of it. And he's one of those guys where he's

561
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 11: the same guy every day, and you don't get a

562
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 11: lot of them in the league. That's the same guy

563
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 11: no matter what's going on, what his situation is. It's

564
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 11: always about the team and super fun to be around.

565
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 11: And I don't think the Ravens are what the Ravens

566
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 11: are right now without Marlin the past eight years. And

567
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 11: you know, losing a guy like that in and out

568
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 11: last year it could be tough on the team, But

569
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 11: for him, it didn't affect him at all in terms

570
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 11: of his support for us. And he was always there,

571
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 11: whether he was on the field or not, trying as

572
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 11: much as he can to help, and whether that's making

573
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 11: us laugh or actually helping with the coverage. I think

574
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 11: that he does a great job both of those. So

575
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 11: that guy said, I'm excited for him to get I

576
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 11: can get back to who he is.

577
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 4: I guess the thing that jumps out under Zach Or

578
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: with his vision three dice.

579
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 11: As the secondary, I would say, just letting us go

580
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 11: out there and play. I think that's such a big

581
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 11: thing that can get lost sometimes in defenses because it's

582
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 11: a very ego field business sometimes and not saying that

583
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 11: within the Ravens, just stuff I've heard is just like

584
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 11: we're gonna do our defense this way, and this a

585
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 11: you're gonna do it, and this you're gonna play, and this

586
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 11: leverage you're gonna play, and that's it. It's no way

587
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 11: of fans or butts. And I think Zo and everybody

588
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 11: in the room has done a great job of just saying,

589
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 11: like like I was saying earlier, like what do you

590
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 11: see this as? And I want you guys be able

591
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 11: to play fast if I can simplify it for y'all

592
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 11: and not trying to dress up everything to cover every

593
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 11: single play that the offense has and just let y'all

594
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 11: play fast. Y'all are good enough athletes to go take

595
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 11: care of it. So I think that's something he's done

596
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 11: really well with and he just does a great job

597
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:53,439
Speaker 11: just managing everything.

598
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 3: I'm super excited for him.

599
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,720
