WEBVTT - Wiggins, Hamilton, Humphrey, & Harbaugh: Ravens Training Camp 7/23/24 Press Conferences

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Tuesday,

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>July twenty third, and the Ravens held another practice of

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>training camp today. Afterwards, we had a chance to hear

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>from head coach John Harpball.

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great to see you guys here. Appreciate you heat

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>it up again today and it was good for us.

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Everybody handled the heat very well. There's an acclamation element

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 2>to that. Our guys are doing a good job getting

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>in football shape in the heat. And then we've got

0:00:28.360 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>taps here, one of the great programs military related for

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 2>military families that have made that sacrifice, and we really

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 2>appreciate when they come out. That's a great group of people,

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 2>family oriented organization.

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 3>What question do you have.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.800
<v Speaker 4>A way out there? I did see the big competible cap.

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I had to pull the reins it on a little bit,

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, and he understands.

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 4>We guys stay.

0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Away from the quarterback as much as possible. You don't

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>want to have any any car crashes out there. But

0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 2>he's doing a great job and he's bringing it. He's

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.200
<v Speaker 2>pretty much been in the backfield every play, so we

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.840
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. John did fall Ala is someone that you

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>guys have talked about moving at guard in the past,

0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>but haven't done it a whole lot.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:12.960
<v Speaker 3>In the spring and alis sort of camp, he's worked

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 3>there a lot.

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 4>How does he look there and what do you like about.

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Him that maybe that now's the time for him to

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 3>play more.

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a great point. When we do, we're gonna

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>give it a shot and see how it looks. And

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Daniel's got very good feet for his size. I mean,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 2>he's a big man, but he can move his feet.

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:29.080
<v Speaker 2>He can also bend and create leverage. And you've got

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>that kind of size and you're coming off the ball

0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>in some of those combination blocks. We feel like he's

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>got a chance with with Tyler to move people in there.

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 2>So all those things keeps working on using his hands.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Things happen quicker. You gotta get your hands up quicker,

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 2>get your hands on.

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 4>People a little quicker. He's working on that part of

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 4>it too, so we'll see how he adapts.

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 5>John playing a.

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 4>Root tape a bunch of guys wrote his thoughts a

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks aga, Well, you know we're gonna try it.

0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>We've got certain guys that are moving in certain positions,

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, Pat McCarry right tackle mostly right now. But

0:01:57.800 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>also you know he's gonna be center, backup center, so

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>he'll some backup center reps. So kind of they work

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 2>their primary spot their secondary spot. Some guys work both guards,

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>some guys stay on the left side. Different guys, different situations.

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 6>You see.

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 7>I know there are different peoples and snaps at center

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 7>than the last three days that just to push from

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 7>even to the eleven and eleven feels.

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 5>Full light out, the trendy.

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:17.400
<v Speaker 4>Else are just wanting to get a look at you're

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 4>finishing well.

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a function of that, those two things,

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:21.920
<v Speaker 2>plus the fact that.

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:25.920
<v Speaker 4>The more you can do, the better you are.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>And you always got to have a center that's capable

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of snapping making the calls. I mean, if you get

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:31.239
<v Speaker 2>to a game and you got a center, you don't

0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 2>have a center, you get two injuries and you're out

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>of business.

0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>That's a problem.

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>So if you can develop your guards usually to play

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to be a backup or a third center, that just

0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 2>gives you a peace of mind when the time comes.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you don't want to give up the reps here,

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's worth it. Those guys going in

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and getting those reps get there I'm sure he's closer

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>to getting out there than he was. It's just a

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 2>matter of when he's gonna you know, the doctors are

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna clear him. He's gonna feel goodenough.

0:02:55.480 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 5>John Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Right.

0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's not something that in training camp as

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 2>a coach you give much thought to right now because

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>we're immersed in our team. But uh, you know, I

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 2>just think it's good to see the NFL, in the

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>NFL PA work together on these things. That's you like

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>to see everybody kind of come together for what's best

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>for all all all parties, including the fans. I mean,

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>the fans are kind of the main driver of all

0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>of it. So we'll see where it goes. But we're

0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 2>focused on what we're doing.

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.600
<v Speaker 8>Uh, we're here for Alata later. We know how versatile

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 8>he is, but just to hear the press means how

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.440
<v Speaker 8>much you think he might get you got you got

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 8>to talk about the Valantine and who could be I

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 8>might be able to do most damage about doing this

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:55.880
<v Speaker 8>or that or just wander.

0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.560
<v Speaker 4>You know, as he gets older, it gets more experienced,

0:03:58.560 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 4>and he's so flos to as you guys might.

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's again, the more he could do you

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>move guys around. You always try to have players do

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 2>what primarily as much as possible, what they do well

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 2>and minimize the things they don't do quite as well.

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>So you have a player like cal Hamilton does so

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>many things so well, you want to get him in

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 2>a position to do all those things you guys do.

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Backfuss like, yeah, I think we could see more of that.

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, we've got certainly got the guys for it

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>back there that can play it so and and uh,

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've got a younger, a younger version of

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 2>p Q now, so that's kind of probably where we're

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 2>at with him, John, What.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 9>Do you see is that trojects me for Jayden Armor

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 9>Davis and Pepe Milliam's kind of same draft year struggle

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 9>with some injuries.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 4>What do he sees their projector?

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.039
<v Speaker 2>And he sees that you have a big year for

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>both those guys, Uh, Pepe and and Jalen. And they're

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>we both practicing so well right now. That's the thing

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited. First three days in they've both been excellent.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:08.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Jalen's made numerous plays in the ball. Peppy

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 2>hasn't had those chances, but he's been in the right

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>spots all the time, moving well. Pepe's finally healthy, Jalen's

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>finally healthy. So we'll see what they can do. But

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm very I'm very confident that they're gonna do well.

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.159
<v Speaker 6>Yea light healthy.

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:24.239
<v Speaker 4>Well he cam.

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I can't wait to see him out during games. I mean,

0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>he's a guy we really liked last year. He's healthy,

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.159
<v Speaker 2>he looks strong to me, another guy we're excited to see.

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 4>He looks good.

0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 5>We can do more good.

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, fully back down. He does.

0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>He even told me that, you know, he's finally back

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>and he's right and he looks right, so that's a

0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 2>good thing.

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 1>We also talk with cornerback Marlin Humphrey, who's been one

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>of the standouts so far in training camp.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 10>You get sick, Yeah, I I slimmed down a little bit.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:14.160
<v Speaker 4>I Uh, it's kind of about.

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.800
<v Speaker 10>A sign, but it was, Uh, I just I kind

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.600
<v Speaker 10>of looked at the past, kind of looked at some

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:22.719
<v Speaker 10>of my better seasons and I was a little bit

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 10>lighter in those in those years.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 4>So decided to to get around a little bit lower

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:28.800
<v Speaker 4>a weight.

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 10>And uh, I've been I've been feeling I've been feeling

0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 10>moving pretty well at it, so we'll kind of see

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 10>how wiggles.

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 4>Around with training camp.

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 10>I've been I've really been taking advantage of uh Sarah

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 10>our new uh nutritionists I think her title is. But

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 10>I've really been Uh I've been really trying to lean

0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 10>on the resources that's the Ravens offer, and uh do do.

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Things kind of the.

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.840
<v Speaker 10>The right way instead of my usual which is just

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 10>like don't eat, which is just not not the best route.

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 10>So UH really really been trying to slim up a

0:06:57.839 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 10>little bit and then UH just kind of go to

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 10>kind of the plan that she's put out for me.

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 10>I'm around the one ninety. I came in one. I've

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 10>been playing the past couple of seasons, probably around two

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 10>hundred or so, so that's uh basically ever since I, Uh,

0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.080
<v Speaker 10>I've tore my peck as I hit I think around

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.000
<v Speaker 10>like twenty five. I got my grown man weight on

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 10>me and it just never went off. So I just

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 10>stuck with it. But uh, it's a young man's game,

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 10>so I decided to get a little lower.

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>You direct your career inside out and trying to Verdon

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 2>first of the watching.

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:35.400
<v Speaker 4>And Kyle Hamilton to be able to tys for.

0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 10>Him and then, uh, I wish I could say that,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 10>but Kyle is he's a he's a he's a man

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 10>of his own. But how he's able to go from

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 10>safety to to nickel to bounce really play wherever, you know,

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.160
<v Speaker 10>I always tell people, I think, if you had, if

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 10>it had to be coll to play every position on

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 10>the on the defensive step nose guard, because he just

0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 10>can't put on as much weight.

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:00.440
<v Speaker 4>It's not Pierce.

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.160
<v Speaker 10>But I think with his ability to move around, my

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 10>ability to move around, it'll work really well for this

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 10>secondary that you can get me be Steve Nata on

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 10>the field all at the same time, Brandon's played inside

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 10>in the past, He's played safe at the past. So

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 10>I think with just the what Nate's already shown, and

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 10>if he continues to keep building those days, it'll be

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.120
<v Speaker 10>just a lot of plays being made for this secondary.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 10>With Eddie included, there'll be so many different packages so

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 10>and teams just won't know what we're doing, who's playing

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 10>what Anybody can line up anywhere, and that's kind of

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 10>the exciting thing about being in the secondary. It's just

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.200
<v Speaker 10>you know, we just got to keep working day by day.

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 10>Coach Chris always says and I don't even know if

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 10>this is true.

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm assuming it's true.

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 10>He says, some guy came up with a cotton gin

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:44.439
<v Speaker 10>and he made one that you can move, all the

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.680
<v Speaker 10>pieces they can put wherever, and he uses that as

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:50.960
<v Speaker 10>an analogy of our secondary. I don't know who that

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 10>guy is, but long story shorts basis say, learn every position.

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 4>So in a game the best six dvs can play.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 10>You don't ever want to be in a position where

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 10>you got a guy that should be a planned but

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 10>he can only play one position. So that's the biggest

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 10>thing that I think we'll see a lot in the secondary,

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 10>just because you know EDC and the scouting department has

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:12.240
<v Speaker 10>put the star players all we have enough depth to be.

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 4>Able to do that the most parts of the people.

0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.520
<v Speaker 4>It seems like we've got to really Florida team. So

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 4>he's really fit right in.

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 10>It kind of seemed like he didn't really need to

0:09:24.240 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 10>make any new friends honestly, which was rare. But uh,

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 10>you know, I loved Ddie when I played with him

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 10>at Obama. Obviously he's a ball hog. Already had a

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 10>pick six I think yesterday. So what is gonna bring

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 10>to the team is you know, kind of filling in

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 10>that that uh, that role that Gen know play last

0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 10>year where he was able to be very successful and

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.880
<v Speaker 10>then different other other pieces he can do. So he

0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:46.560
<v Speaker 10>was definitely a piece we we needed to kind of

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 10>we kind of got that depth in the corner position

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 10>in the draft and we just kind of needed that

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:52.680
<v Speaker 10>one more safety and a couple of other editions that

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.560
<v Speaker 10>I'm sure we'll probably add. Uh, you know, we always

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.800
<v Speaker 10>love it late in the camp signing, so problem sure

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 10>there's more pieces to come. But I love the team

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 10>we got, love the guys we got. I think if

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.439
<v Speaker 10>we could start the season right now, we'd be good

0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 10>to go. But if they feel we need to add guys,

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:09.559
<v Speaker 10>it's it's a it's never a bad things.

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:14.079
<v Speaker 2>The talk at any point baseball last a couple of

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 2>years going to the safety and in particular what the iss.

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.000
<v Speaker 4>No, there hasn't been.

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 10>That's uh, That's something I've always seen myself doing, though

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 10>I've just uh, that's just kind of now how I

0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 10>how I kind of envisioned my career. Honestly, it's kind

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 10>of coming in the league was not how it should be.

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 10>I always had this weird thing that I wanted to

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.959
<v Speaker 10>play for like six teams and then I realized that's

0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 10>not cool at all to play for a lot of teams. So, uh,

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 10>but safety is something that I that I still think

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 10>I'd end up doing one of these one of these years.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 10>So it hasn't been any talks of that, but I

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.840
<v Speaker 10>know there's definitely been talks of me or b Seve

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.440
<v Speaker 10>bumping in a nickel, you know, just like I said,

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.240
<v Speaker 10>just to be able to where we can bump move

0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 10>around in any way.

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, because you and then you don't make excuse you

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 5>feel healthy at any point lesson how do you feel now?

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 10>For yeah, man, it's uh. Last year was it was

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:20.120
<v Speaker 10>a unique year. It was Uh, it was it was

0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 10>a lot of first I would say it was a

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 10>mentally you know, I always felt I don't know, I'm

0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.439
<v Speaker 10>just I'm a mental guy. So I always go into

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 10>any game thinking I'm ready to go. I mean the

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.959
<v Speaker 10>first game I sprent it one time before I played

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 10>in the first game on that Friday.

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 4>So it was a lot of things of.

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:42.840
<v Speaker 10>Every time I felt like I was pretty healthy, I

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.560
<v Speaker 10>seemed like it seemed like I hurt the next game.

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:50.559
<v Speaker 10>So but you know, not really making you know, the excuses,

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 10>but it's, uh, basically what I what I've tried to

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.320
<v Speaker 10>do this offseason is to prepare a little better for

0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 10>even when you're hurt, getting whatever or whatever's you know,

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.000
<v Speaker 10>you got to prepare for the worst. So even if

0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 10>your leg is hurt, what can you do to still

0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:09.880
<v Speaker 10>get mental reps and also just breathing as much as gain,

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.720
<v Speaker 10>doing anything with your arms, getting whatever you can. I

0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 10>think that's kind of some of the things I regret

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:21.839
<v Speaker 10>last year, is attacking the rehab, but also what can

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 10>you do to stay in it for when when you're

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 10>ready to go.

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.680
<v Speaker 4>So that was probably the one of the things.

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 10>I was trying to have certain injuries where you needed rest,

0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:33.880
<v Speaker 10>and I think I overtook some of the rest time

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 10>and then just thought I could just play in the

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 10>game Sunday and be be.

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 4>My usual self.

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 10>So that's probably some of the things I regret. But mainly,

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.840
<v Speaker 10>you know, it's it's such a long season. I wasn't

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 10>really used to being hurt a lot, you know, so

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 10>it was it was it was just something I wasn't

0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 10>used to. I know a lot of guys going to

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 10>games hurt every single game. I've done that a ton

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 10>in my past as well, but last year just was

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:02.199
<v Speaker 10>was a little different for me. But but I'm kind

0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:06.320
<v Speaker 10>of ready for whatever the ship.

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:10.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I like I like playing Nickel.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.960
<v Speaker 10>I I Nickel, you you kind of I like hitting

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.679
<v Speaker 10>people and uh, you can get pretty aggresive at corner,

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 10>but you just can't get too aggressive. So playing Nickel

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:24.319
<v Speaker 10>is I've a The first time I ever played Nickel,

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.760
<v Speaker 10>it was with Wink and I think we had to

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 10>our first two games. It was a top receiver at Nickel,

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 10>I mean had a slot receiver, and he was like,

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 10>why don't you just match up and follow the guy

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 10>in there.

0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't very comfortable with it.

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 10>I didn't really want to do it, but I just

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 10>I was just a team guy, so I went with it,

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.199
<v Speaker 10>and then I really kind of started enjoying it. You know,

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 10>made my first two Pro Bowls kind of predominantly playing

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 10>inside there.

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 4>So it's a place I'm comfortable in.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.200
<v Speaker 10>But you know, whichever, whichever way it goes, whatever week,

0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 10>the game plan is. I know, Kyle is a Swiss

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.559
<v Speaker 10>army knife, so what he can do with Nickel and

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 10>and safety and everything is is whatever.

0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 4>So I'm kind of down for whatever.

0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Another first round quarterback is Nate Wiggins that he talked

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>with the media today.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 9>You're being targeted that much through OTAs and training cap

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.680
<v Speaker 9>or and Minnie camp. But we've seen you get targeted

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:21.320
<v Speaker 9>a few times in training camp already been making plays

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 9>on the ball. Do you feel like there's been a

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.000
<v Speaker 9>shift in You're a billion bike plays on the ball

0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:26.520
<v Speaker 9>now that the ball is getting actually thrown at you.

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I feel like that's a it's a good job.

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 7>It's a good thing. That's the ball again passing my way,

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 7>so I can, uh, you like, better work on my technique,

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 7>getting my eyes around for the ball, playing the ball better.

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 6>So I feel like it's a good thing.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:41.400
<v Speaker 5>It's only been a.

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:42.920
<v Speaker 9>Few days, but it's a power for you. What's the

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 9>biggest difference between getting.

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 7>Right for the season in college and then you're really

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 7>just I mean probably just meetings, longer meetings for real.

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 6>I mean, football is gonna be football. It's really not.

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 7>It's really not different than college is just probably been

0:14:57.280 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 7>been in the billing all day.

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 6>It's really a job now. So yeah, and you.

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 2>If you're a guy who's watched at the college tape,

0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 2>totally trust your make up spears.

0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.720
<v Speaker 3>It's clearly you do.

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 2>And then at the NFL level, if you're beend in an

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:11.960
<v Speaker 2>additional pressure and get a little bit more gravvy than

0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>you do.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.600
<v Speaker 6>Uh No, I don't really feel like I'm getting grabby.

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 7>I just feel like, uh I'm better, Like I'm trying

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 7>to work better than not like using my ketch up,

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.080
<v Speaker 7>speeding more, using my hands better than line of scrimmers.

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 7>Uh, I'm not trying to use my speed. So yeah,

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.920
<v Speaker 7>I I feel like that's what I need to change.

0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 8>You need a lot of a lot of corners that don't

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 8>practically especially, but I feel like the to talk and

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 8>go with.

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.560
<v Speaker 4>Refusers or uh how would you would you put put

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 4>yourself in that kind of category.

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 5>You're a talker out.

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 6>There, Yeah, I'll talk a lot. Uh that's this is

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 6>part of my game.

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 7>I feel like, uh, this bring me more confidence in

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.040
<v Speaker 7>my game, just talking to the receiver.

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 6>Getting in his head.

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 4>So what do you think the reaction?

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 6>Some receiver it don't talk.

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 7>Some receiver try to talk about So it's all dependent

0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:53.760
<v Speaker 7>who the receivers are.

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 4>Who's been fun to engage with the camps so far?

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:57.280
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 6>Uh my auto receiver test, you know.

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 7>Uh, meant to go back to college, say Flowers, Uh,

0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.880
<v Speaker 7>Bateman's just like all the receivers nearly. It's just it's

0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.760
<v Speaker 7>just good competition. So we getting all getting each other

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 7>better for her.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.400
<v Speaker 8>Trust from Marland, Humphrey wanted me to ask you aback day.

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 6>See that. Okay, this is not my nickname. He gave

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 6>it to me.

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 7>He he called me nasty Nate. You know he's because

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.560
<v Speaker 7>I guess I play nasty defense. I guess, so that's

0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 7>his nickname for me. He wanted me to tell y'all

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 7>that that's my nickname, but it I I ain't.

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 6>It's not official for me yet, so I don't know.

0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 6>It might get official, but we don't know yet.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 4>As a compliment, yeah, I take that comment.

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, definitely from Marlin.

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:48.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yes, sir, he's only been the.

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 3>League for three years.

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 4>How much is he can talk?

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 7>How much you kind of you know, leadership because for

0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.280
<v Speaker 7>you he brings uh a lot of leadership to the

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:00.960
<v Speaker 7>uh to the room. Just just been there, you know,

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 7>like most of the whole defense. So I asked him

0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:06.160
<v Speaker 7>questions and he just put me in where I need

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:06.640
<v Speaker 7>to be.

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:08.600
<v Speaker 4>Ley down.

0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 8>How much do you think it's gonna help you? Playing in

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 8>the secondary where there's so much talent, you know, and

0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 8>gods should have experiences.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 4>You can go to multiple people for a.

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 5>Blafe, you know.

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:18.800
<v Speaker 6>I feel like that's gonna help me a lot.

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.000
<v Speaker 7>Like you said, I can just go to anybody, anybody

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 7>in the dB room asking them questions.

0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 6>So I feel like that's gonna happen me in the

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 6>long run.

0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 8>You feel like that's kind of taking you under their wing.

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 7>And I feel like everybody, like all the events in

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.439
<v Speaker 7>the in the room, taking all the young kids, uh,

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.880
<v Speaker 7>guiding them through the through the coverages, through the practice.

0:17:35.920 --> 0:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>So the Ravens also have Kyle Hamilton on the back

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:44.359
<v Speaker 1>end of the defense. He's one of the best, the

0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 1>most versatile players in all of football, and he talked

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.160
<v Speaker 1>about what his expectations are for this year.

0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:57.320
<v Speaker 3>It's everybody, how are we doing? How was summer?

0:17:59.200 --> 0:17:59.400
<v Speaker 9>Sure?

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 3>Nice, It'll be back few.

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 9>Seasons, Zam. We've seen you do just about everything that

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 9>a safety can be asked to do in the NFL.

0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 9>Do you feel like there's still things that you can

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:11.840
<v Speaker 9>add to your game or is it more about refining

0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.840
<v Speaker 9>and improving all the different aspects of things that you Uh.

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:16.560
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a yes to both of those.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 11>I think there's a lot of stuff that you guys

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 11>may not notice that my coaches may not notice that

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.040
<v Speaker 11>I know I can improve on do better. And I

0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:26.640
<v Speaker 11>think there's a lot of players that I left out

0:18:26.640 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 11>there last year and gives me something to kind of

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:34.159
<v Speaker 11>work on and uh in terms of that including in

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:37.119
<v Speaker 11>addition to the leading and being more vocal and stuff

0:18:37.160 --> 0:18:38.919
<v Speaker 11>like that, kind of stepping into a role now that

0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.800
<v Speaker 11>I've you know, had a good year, it's just time

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:43.440
<v Speaker 11>to build on that, not only as with my play,

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 11>but also as a leader.

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.360
<v Speaker 8>When you came into the league, did you envision yourself

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 8>playing this many spots?

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 4>And has it grown on you? I mean, do you

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:53.920
<v Speaker 4>like it more than you thought? Or did you something

0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 4>you always wanted?

0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:56.399
<v Speaker 8>If it's curious what your thought was gonna happen supposed

0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.160
<v Speaker 8>to what has happened.

0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think at Notre Dame, I did a little

0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.760
<v Speaker 11>bit of everything. Coming in the league. You know, I

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 11>don't know, I really didn't expect to. I think I'm

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:07.720
<v Speaker 11>more expected to just play both safety spots. I think

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 11>that was going to be the extent of my flexibility.

0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.880
<v Speaker 11>But it's been awesome to just be able to move around,

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.439
<v Speaker 11>learn more about the defense, stuff like that. And I

0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:18.200
<v Speaker 11>just said something to somebody else over there, like I

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:19.280
<v Speaker 11>just go week to week.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 3>Just Monday meetings, come in.

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 11>Whatever they need me to do, if that's play deep,

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 11>play in the half, play down the box, cover whatever

0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.280
<v Speaker 11>they need me to do, I'm here for it, and

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 11>uh just want to get better at everything.

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 5>Do you notice that from inside the secondary?

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 3>How do you mean conspicuous?

0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 11>Okay, I thought you were trying to say it was suspect.

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 11>I was like, oh wow, uh I didn't graduate. Can

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:55.600
<v Speaker 11>repread the question? Sorry, this secondary looks fast?

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.320
<v Speaker 3>Okay, there we go. Yes, it does look fast to

0:19:58.359 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 3>me as well.

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:02.359
<v Speaker 11>Kind of funny you look around the room and you

0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 11>know Nate obviously ran forward too. I'm probably the slowest

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 11>guy in there at well, at least at the combine.

0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:11.240
<v Speaker 11>But yeah, we got Marlin in there, Marcus is running.

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 11>Everybody's running in that room. And I think that's a

0:20:13.600 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 11>big thing along with us conditioning and being out there

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:17.439
<v Speaker 11>getting a lot of reps. You know, running fast for

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.119
<v Speaker 11>a long time not getting tired is a huge advantage,

0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:22.679
<v Speaker 11>especially going in the later parts of the season. And

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 11>you know, it's just say that we can't get off

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:26.800
<v Speaker 11>the field in a series and we're going in to

0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 11>play thirteen in the high red zone and we need

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 11>to stop. And that's something that we might have given

0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:33.199
<v Speaker 11>up a touchdown on last year, and so we're just

0:20:33.200 --> 0:20:36.359
<v Speaker 11>building on conditioning and add more speed to the room.

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.159
<v Speaker 2>Attention wise, it's not something you're really big into when

0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 2>we talked about that last year. But now that you've

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:43.520
<v Speaker 2>become a star in the league, But what was it

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:46.440
<v Speaker 2>like going for the off season in regard whether opportunities

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 2>for thing to do.

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 4>If you embrace that a little more, you're still like, oh.

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:50.320
<v Speaker 9>God, this sucks.

0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:51.439
<v Speaker 3>Yes and no.

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 11>I think it's kind of funny to see, I guess

0:20:57.600 --> 0:20:59.439
<v Speaker 11>for lack of better where it's just like notoriety that

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 11>I've gotten from playing well and kind of almost feels

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.560
<v Speaker 11>like expected, like this is supposed to happen. And in

0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.160
<v Speaker 11>my household and my mom is just like my dad,

0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.080
<v Speaker 11>everybody's just like, yeah, you're supposed to get better here

0:21:10.119 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 11>two and do well and get accolades.

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:13.600
<v Speaker 3>So that's just.

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 11>Kind of what the norm was. I mean, it's obviously

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 11>I'm super grateful for it and everything that's come with it.

0:21:18.960 --> 0:21:21.200
<v Speaker 11>I've always said I want to be rich. I don't

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 11>want to be famous. So I mean, I think I'm

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.399
<v Speaker 11>cool where I'm at on the level of fame. Uh,

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.720
<v Speaker 11>maybe could get even lower, but but now it's it's

0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:30.680
<v Speaker 11>super exciting just to have the opportunities as well.

0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:31.719
<v Speaker 3>And be part of all this.

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:38.080
<v Speaker 11>Eddie Jackson, oh Bell jack he's uh, well he first

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 11>practice he went out there got a pick six, which

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:40.440
<v Speaker 11>was fire.

0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 3>He's really cool, dude.

0:21:43.400 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 11>You know, it's always funny hearing him tell stories about

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 11>college Marlon and how wild he was, and you know,

0:21:48.880 --> 0:21:50.360
<v Speaker 11>he's kind of toned it down a little bit now.

0:21:50.480 --> 0:21:54.520
<v Speaker 11>So but he's another vet that we seem to do

0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:56.400
<v Speaker 11>this all the time, just get these vets that come

0:21:56.400 --> 0:21:58.679
<v Speaker 11>here and do so much for us during the season,

0:21:58.720 --> 0:22:01.040
<v Speaker 11>and it's it's gonna be so big for us to

0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 11>have him as a part of the team. And with

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 11>the other guys in the dB room, we're just so

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.199
<v Speaker 11>deep at that in that room that it's just we

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 11>can never get tired. We can never have somebody that's

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 11>on the field that's a liability. It's just such a

0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 11>disadvantage for the offense to trot it out the same

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:18.719
<v Speaker 11>people and have us rotating guys, and I think it's

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:20.760
<v Speaker 11>really special to have him where my.

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Mom SATs Marlin did.

0:22:24.119 --> 0:22:27.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I guess have you noticed it?

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 11>I mean, uh no, Yeah, I actually did notice a

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 11>little bit. He was getting a little gut last year.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 11>He wasn't playing a lot. I mean, he just had

0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:39.639
<v Speaker 11>a little chunkiness, but he dropped it. He's at his

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:43.120
<v Speaker 11>property and Dama doing the workouts, and you know, he's

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.000
<v Speaker 11>looking good. He's uh, he's got the abs back, he's

0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:48.120
<v Speaker 11>looking good out there, he's running, he's covering very well

0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 11>right now, and excited to see him this year.

0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:53.400
<v Speaker 8>Now, when you watch film from week to week, how

0:22:53.480 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 8>much do you ever go to the coaches to say, like,

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 8>I think this week, if I do this, I can

0:22:57.400 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 8>cause most damage and like you're looking forward to maybe

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.919
<v Speaker 8>as you learn more, having even more input, like a

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.119
<v Speaker 8>back and forth with them about what you should do.

0:23:06.480 --> 0:23:08.439
<v Speaker 11>Not really, honestly, I kind of let them do their

0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 11>job in that area also. I mean I was in

0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 11>year two last year even though I was playing well,

0:23:12.880 --> 0:23:14.960
<v Speaker 11>It's like kind of got earn your stripes before you

0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:18.600
<v Speaker 11>start doing that. So but yeah, they did a great job.

0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 11>Was just putting me where I needed to be. And

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:22.440
<v Speaker 11>putting everybody in the position to be successful last year,

0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 11>So I really didn't feel the need to say that

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:28.919
<v Speaker 11>going into a game. If there were any disputes or

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:31.120
<v Speaker 11>confusion out on the practice field during a game week,

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 11>they're all for us saying something or we don't see

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:35.240
<v Speaker 11>it playing like this, We see you playing like that,

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 11>and we'll change it for the game plan. And I

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 11>appreciate them. And that's top to bottom with the offense

0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:41.919
<v Speaker 11>as well. They do that and special teams. It's just

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 11>it's a symbiotic relationship between us and the coaches for sure.

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.440
<v Speaker 11>And all hearing this about Marlin, you seem to be

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.159
<v Speaker 11>a guy who's one of his closest friends in the building.

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Did you sense last year how much he was annoyed

0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 3>that he wasn't able to be himself of the injury

0:23:56.320 --> 0:23:57.000
<v Speaker 3>six stee and one.

0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:00.800
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, I think he's still, I mean super young. I

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:02.880
<v Speaker 11>think he came in at twenty so he's going into

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 11>year eight. He just turned twenty eight, and he's still

0:24:05.920 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 11>moving really fast. He's one of the fast guys on

0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 11>the team. And I think he hasn't had a ton

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.760
<v Speaker 11>of injuries besides the peck. I think a few years ago,

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 11>and it's just it's tough to see a guy work

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:19.560
<v Speaker 11>so hard and not be able to reap the benefits

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:22.360
<v Speaker 11>of it. And he's one of those guys where he's

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 11>the same guy every day, and you don't get a

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:26.960
<v Speaker 11>lot of them in the league. That's the same guy

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 11>no matter what's going on, what his situation is. It's

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 11>always about the team and super fun to be around.

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 11>And I don't think the Ravens are what the Ravens

0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 11>are right now without Marlin the past eight years. And

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:40.840
<v Speaker 11>you know, losing a guy like that in and out

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 11>last year it could be tough on the team, But

0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:46.800
<v Speaker 11>for him, it didn't affect him at all in terms

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 11>of his support for us. And he was always there,

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:51.199
<v Speaker 11>whether he was on the field or not, trying as

0:24:51.240 --> 0:24:53.760
<v Speaker 11>much as he can to help, and whether that's making

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:56.040
<v Speaker 11>us laugh or actually helping with the coverage. I think

0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:57.840
<v Speaker 11>that he does a great job both of those. So

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 11>that guy said, I'm excited for him to get I

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 11>can get back to who he is.

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.159
<v Speaker 4>I guess the thing that jumps out under Zach Or

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 4>with his vision three dice.

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 11>As the secondary, I would say, just letting us go

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 11>out there and play. I think that's such a big

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.720
<v Speaker 11>thing that can get lost sometimes in defenses because it's

0:25:18.720 --> 0:25:22.760
<v Speaker 11>a very ego field business sometimes and not saying that

0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:24.560
<v Speaker 11>within the Ravens, just stuff I've heard is just like

0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.000
<v Speaker 11>we're gonna do our defense this way, and this a

0:25:26.080 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 11>you're gonna do it, and this you're gonna play, and this

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:30.880
<v Speaker 11>leverage you're gonna play, and that's it. It's no way

0:25:30.880 --> 0:25:33.040
<v Speaker 11>of fans or butts. And I think Zo and everybody

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.600
<v Speaker 11>in the room has done a great job of just saying,

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.359
<v Speaker 11>like like I was saying earlier, like what do you

0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.920
<v Speaker 11>see this as? And I want you guys be able

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 11>to play fast if I can simplify it for y'all

0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:43.960
<v Speaker 11>and not trying to dress up everything to cover every

0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 11>single play that the offense has and just let y'all

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.000
<v Speaker 11>play fast. Y'all are good enough athletes to go take

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:49.960
<v Speaker 11>care of it. So I think that's something he's done

0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 11>really well with and he just does a great job

0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:53.439
<v Speaker 11>just managing everything.

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:54.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm super excited for him.

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:00.720
