Speaker 3: the Lounge, do I have to you have to crush

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:48,400

00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,199

Speaker 3: Yeah, well, thanks for having us.

20
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's let's start by talking about your sixty

21
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: yarder on Saturday Night.

22
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: Got a start there. I mean, that was a bomb.

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: That was a bomb.

24
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: Any chance that could have been good from sixty seven

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: you think.

26
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: I mean, there's no way of knowing, I suppose, but

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: I definitely got a definitely got some leg into it

28
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: and the ball was definitely carrying. Yeah, Tyler through a

29
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: perfect snap. And he's coming and done a great job

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: replacing Nick. You know, we're gonna miss Nick this season,

31
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: but Tyler's come in work to tail Loft, done a

32
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 3: really good job getting up to speed with what we

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 3: like to do and how we like to do things.

34
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: Jordan's evolved as a you know, not just a punter,

35
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 3: but as a holder as well. So you know, wanna

36
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: kick that long. Everything kind of has to go perfectly,

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: and you know, those guys made it to where my

38
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 3: job is much simpler. I just kicked the ball as

39
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: hard as I can, and you know, it needed to

40
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: go sixty yards. Maybe it could have gone far farther,

41
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: but definitely. Yeah.

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not like I barely made it over.

43
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it had some room to spare.

44
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, room spare.

45
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Is there any like do you at all measure like

46
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: exit velocity? You know, like in baseball it's become a

47
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: big thing, like the exit velocity of a hit.

48
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 5: Is there any measurement on that?

49
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: Like, do you do you kind of know how far

50
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: kicks could have gone or whatever.

51
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. So I know there's all

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: of this next gen stats and analytics and all of

53
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 3: this stuff that you know, can measure all of these

54
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: these or you can get a you get a gauge

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: on all these you know, very particular stats and uh

56
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 3: you know, I know, on like Sunday Night Football, they

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: have like the the kick tracer thing that shows like, oh,

58
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: the ball could would have probably been good from this

59
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: far away it's split the uprights at you know, uh,

60
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: you know this angle or whatever. Maybe we uh, we

61
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: have these devices that we wear on like Jordan and

62
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: I will wear like just in our sock like kind

63
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: of in like a little roll of tape that measures

64
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 3: your leg speed, you know, and it kind of it's

65
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: it's kind of like a a load management type of

66
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: measuring device to you know, the ideas to ensure that

67
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: you're not you know, swing your leg too much, or

68
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: like if you're a quarterback, you're not you know, throwing

69
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: too much or what it's kind of like to give

70
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: you a pitch count. Okay, but you know, one of

71
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 3: the I guess extra benefits from using that device is

72
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: you can get these you know kind of cool numbers

73
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 3: and stats, you know, for like how fast your leg

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: is swinging. We also used to have something called the

75
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: track Man, which you know, it's like a device that

76
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 3: you can use for golf kicking footballs. But you you know,

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: you place this device like behind the football, you know,

78
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: maybe eight to ten yards from where I set up

79
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: a kick, and then you can see, you know, you

80
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: can you can actually measure all of those things that

81
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: you're talking about, like ex velocity, like swing speed, like

82
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: smash factor at impact. Yeah, and yeah, we had we

83
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: had that device that somebody was gathering that data and

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: using it for whatever. But like, I actually choose not

85
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: to you know, this is all to say, I choose, actually, yes,

86
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 3: I choose to completely disregard any of the you know,

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: extra stats for stats, because the only one that actually

88
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: matters is whether or not the kick went through. And uh,

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 3: you know, I know when I strike the ball, I

90
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: know from the time it's snapped like oh yeah, I'm

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 3: I'm smashing this. This is going, this is going exactly

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: where I want it. You know, I see the ball,

93
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: I see the sweet spot of the ball, and I

94
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: strike it and the feeling is usually pretty instantaneous. It's like, yeah,

95
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 3: that was a good kick, and then when it goes

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: through and I know it's a good kick and everyone

97
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: else also knows. And that's one of the things I

98
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 3: love about my job description is it's very black and white.

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: The kickswriter good or or not? This, you know, all

100
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: that data gathering technology really cool. Yeah, but I also

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: feel like I just don't. I don't, I don't care. Yeah,

102
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 3: I just yeah, I just want to see the ball

103
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: go through the yellow things.

104
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 5: That's interesting.

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 4: So when you're at this stage of your career, you've

106
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 4: had a ton of success and you were You've established

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 4: yourself as the best kicker ever, and I know that

108
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 4: you just got to continue obviously to do that to

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 4: I guess, wear that crown whatever that you know, whatever

110
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: that looks like you have.

111
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: Funny thing is you don't actually get it.

112
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 4: You don't get a credit at the end of your career.

113
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: They send you the crown and then if someone else

114
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: repasses you, then you send it to somebody else.

115
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 5: Angry runs, get any angry runs.

116
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 4: You never know you did run in Super Bowl?

117
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah I got but.

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 4: You was the receip you were the receiver. Yes, do

119
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 4: you do you like how much is that something that

120
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 4: you think about, like the idea of being the best

121
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: kicker to ever play the game, and is that a

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 4: goal of focus that you think about on a regular basis.

123
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate you saying that, but I think about

124
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: it more as like a you know, we have made

125
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: a lot of kicks around here, you know, whether it

126
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 3: was Morgan and Sam and myself or Pat Scales and

127
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 3: Kevin McDermott or Nick Moore, Tyler Ott and Jordan Stout,

128
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: you know, in in coordination with you know, Jerry Rosberg

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: and Randy Brown and Chris Horton and you know Sam Cook. Again.

130
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: Now on the coaching side, it's never been in my mind,

131
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: it's never been I go out there and I make

132
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: the kicks. It's always we make the kicks, and every

133
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 3: once in a while I let one get away. So

134
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 3: as far as being recognized as the best individually, I'm

135
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: I'm not really I could kind of care less about that.

136
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of cool, but I think what

137
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: really motivates me and you know, makes me feel good

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 3: about my contributions, uh to the team is exactly that is,

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: you know, our team having success, uh, my teammates being

140
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 3: you know, lifted and just increased because of my efforts.

141
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: You know, that's that's what you know. I hope I

142
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: can look back on one day and fans of the

143
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: Ravens or fans of football, or you know, even even

144
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: the haters out there. You know, I want them all

145
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 3: to look back and say, Wow.

146
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 4: That's the city of Detroit.

147
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: But I just I want every What I think about

148
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: more is I want everybody to look back on my

149
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: career and be able to say that, dude, even at

150
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: the kicker position, he transcended the game in a way

151
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: that made his team and his teammates and his co

152
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 3: which is just a little bit better. I think that's

153
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: what gets me a little bit more fired up than

154
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: anything else.

155
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel that there's a way that you have

156
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: kind of changed the game of kicking? I mean, ninety

157
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: is almost like the the bar now, like so many

158
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: guys clear ninety percent. I feel like you were the

159
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: leader in doing that year after year after year.

160
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 4: Like I'm deep, it's almost like you're like at your

161
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 4: point shooter, like a Steph Curry.

162
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess, like, how do you look and how

163
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: do you look at your game in the way that

164
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: you changed the game kind of like Sam did you

165
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 1: know he revolutionized punting. Do you kind of view yourself

166
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: in a way of like, here's how I made my mark.

167
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: That's how I'll look back on it, you know, you

168
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: know in a way.

169
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it still goes back to us

170
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 3: doing it together.

171
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and your battery will say totally you changed

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: the game.

173
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 3: Totally. I think about it in terms of, uh, we've

174
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: got to approach, like the way we elevate the game

175
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: as a whole is by taking it, you know, one

176
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: kick in time. You know, not even just one season

177
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: at a time, one game at a time, but you know,

178
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: not even one practice at a time. Like every single

179
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 3: time I line up a kick in practice, after I've

180
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: gotten myself kind of warmed up, I make myself go

181
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: to this mental you know place where this is the

182
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: most important kick I've ever attempted, right here, right now.

183
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: And it's pretty tiring to do that, you know, day

184
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: in and day out. But it's also I think a

185
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: part of what has made us made us be really

186
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: good for a long time and have a high level

187
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 3: of consistency is you know, the approach to the game,

188
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 3: not necessarily just the results. I think the results are.

189
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: I think they they speak to how we prepare, so

190
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 3: you know, again it goes back to like what you

191
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: were just asking, like how do we feel like we

192
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: want to be remembered, you know, or do we think

193
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: about those those things in like the big, grandiose terms.

194
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 3: It's like, now I think about it, like I'm kind

195
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: of carrying the torch, you know. I've learned from the

196
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: greats to play the game, like Sam Cook, Adam Vin Terry,

197
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: the greats to coach the game like Jerry Rosberg and

198
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: Randy Brown and Chris Horton and Harbes and then you

199
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 3: know guys that aren't necessarily directly involved in the special

200
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: team's aspect of the game, but you know, seeing the

201
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: approach of a Ray Lewis and an Ed Reed or

202
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: a Holodinada and Terrell Suggs and Joe Flacco. I could

203
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: go on and on. I feel like I'm just, you know,

204
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: helping to move the game along by perpetuating the habits

205
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: of what greatness looks.

206
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 5: Like, Yeah, how do you do that?

207
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: Though?

208
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Like how do you get your mind so focused? And

209
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: like a kicker's job is such a routine, right, like

210
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: day after day it's the How do you stay that

211
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: locked in, that focused on every individual kick for this

212
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: long period of time.

213
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, you just kind of do you

214
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: just kind of have to trim yourself of a kind

215
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: of yeah, Like I know in practice, like this kick

216
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 3: is not going to mean we win or lose a

217
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: game or this this this game or the super Bowl,

218
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: you know, but I try I try to simulate in

219
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: my mind, like this is where you know, like I

220
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: try to create in my mind the scenario that, Okay,

221
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: well this is a game winning fuel goal, you know,

222
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: down by two forty seven yards left, hash Like I

223
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: need to strike this ball in this way to make

224
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 3: this particular kick go through the upright.

225
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: That's all run in through your mind as you're stepping

226
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: back and taking your steps.

227
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 5: And all that stuff. Absolutely, Yeah, that's cool.

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: Do you when you get to double digits in terms

229
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: of playing this long, do you think about like how

230
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 4: long do you want to play? Do you want to play?

231
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 4: Do you want to be at Aventarian kicking in your forties?

232
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I just want to go until it's embarrassing

233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: for me to be out there. I want to I

234
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,959

237
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: long as Seba Shadi is willing to let me, you know,

238
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,800

270
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 4: you asked him about routine and focus and habits. He

271
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: made sure. You know, we had a limited amount of time.

272
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: He had to make sure they got to the special

273
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: Teams meeting early, right. He wants to be there right

274
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 4: on time, sure, and that's that's one of the reasons

275
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 4: we had to squeeze in the interview and a finite

276
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 4: amount of time, and he went to the special teams meeting.

277
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 4: That's why he's the best. This guy takes even even

278
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: a training camp, special teams meeting, he is there ready

279
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 4: to go front of the class.

280
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 5: YEP, for sure. Yeah.

281
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: I had some other questions I want to ask him.

282
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: But one interesting thing about him is, you know, he's

283
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: the only guy remaining for the twenty twelve Super Bowl team,

284
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: you know, and like he talked about kind of his

285
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: why you know, like why you continue to do this,

286
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: you know, as long as he has and at that

287
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: level and all that, and you know, he talked a

288
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: little bit about the champion bringing another championship back to Baltimore.

289
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I'm sure when you win one

290
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: as a rookie year, like, yeah, I'll be back here.

291
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

292
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: Every guy says that, Yeah, yeah, I'll be back here

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: again in a year or two years whatever, like you know,

294
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: in now or eleven years later. You know, I'm sure

295
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: that that drive for him is really big.

296
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

297
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 4: I totally agree. I mean, I think he wants to

298
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 4: win a championship. I think it is interesting. I know,

299
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 4: he was like jest talking about getting you know, taking

300
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: a walker out to the field to kick field goals,

301
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 4: but like, you know, he wants to do it for

302
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 4: a long time, and like he's showing no signs of

303
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: slowing down. But I just you know, it's kind of

304
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: curious when you get to the stage of your career

305
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 4: it's like how long do you want to do it?

306
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: You know? And I mean I think he's going to

307
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 4: be at the top of his game for the foreseeable future, Like,

308
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: I see no drop off at this point.

309
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: Well, the funny thing was that just last week before

310
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: the preseason opener, uh, Tuck was on podium and somebody asked,

311
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: well actually asked Randie Brown, like, you know, yeah, his age,

312
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: do you start to have questions about Tuck's leg strength,

313
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: like does that become a factor at all? And taking

314
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: some workload off him, and you know, just how kind

315
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: of strong is his leg? Then he boom's a sixty

316
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: yard field goal that could have been good for much longer. Yeah,

317
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: with plenty answered, don't think we have to worry about

318
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: justin Tucker's leg strength.

319
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I think the only area where that's really

320
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 4: showing up is they're they're reducing the number of kicks

321
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: that he takes in training camp. To some degree, they're

322
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: not having him boom they.

323
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 5: Kicker out here right now. But yeah, I mean Jordan stout.

324
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 4: Is is the second kicker. But that's the only area

325
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 4: where you would say, like, oh, there's any sign of

326
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: this is a guy who's now in double digits in

327
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: terms of his career. So yeah, yeah, it was. Uh,

328
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: he's the best and it's fun to watch him. I

329
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 4: think he's and I think his routine is the reason

330
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: for that. I can tell you from being near him

331
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: on game days on the sideline sometimes, like he's one

332
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 4: of those guys like you just back away and give

333
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: him a space because like he's so locked in in

334
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: between kicks. And I think that's one thing that people

335
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: don't realize.

336
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: If you mess with his routine, Yeah, and he misses

337
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: a kick, they mean you're to blame.

338
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 5: Wait, let's be quite honest.

339
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 4: Well, here's like the funny thing about him is like

340
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 4: people know like he does like he'll do a dance

341
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 4: after a kick, and he's known like you know, the

342
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: singing or whatever. But like, to me, like his focus

343
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 4: on game days is as good as like there's one

344
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: the one other guy who really stands out to me

345
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: in that regards Marsianda, Like I didn't even want to

346
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: I didn't want to look at Marsianda on game days.

347
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 4: I was like, he's gonna just push me into a wall.

348
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: And this guy is like his wife even tell us

349
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: that she said that she was like on game days.

350
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: Now he's like at a different level. I don't even Yeah,

351
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: Like Tucker reminds me of that, like.

352
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 5: Mark Andrews, Andrews and just just.

353
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 4: Like that all the time and she's always yeah. But

354
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 4: but Tucker reminds me of of Marshall in that regard,

355
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: like that focus, that intensity, that like that you look

356
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 4: in his eyes, it's laser focused. And I just think

357
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 4: that that stands out to me about him.

358
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: One day, one day, that guy, you know, he always

359
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: talks about the Wii, not the I. Yeah, you know,

360
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: and so you always want to ask him these questions

361
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: about him individually, and.

362
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 4: He'll never he never takes the bait.

363
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: No, he always he always changed them. But one day,

364
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: so what was going through my mind when we were

365
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: talking to him is I was like, one day, when

366
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 1: he's up on that stage in Canton and he's about

367
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: to give his Hall of Fame speech. He's gonna have

368
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 1: like his long snappers and his punter, you know, all

369
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: those guys, the holders, like they'll all be up there

370
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: with him. Yeah, and that's just how it'll go, you know.

371
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: And he'll talk about that in his speech that it

372
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: was always the Wii.

373
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know, of.

374
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: Course he's like he's human. I am one hundred percent

375
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: sure that he's thought about the Hall of Fame. Yeah,

376
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: he's a human being. He sees what's being written in

377
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: that he you know, he knows he has a chance

378
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: to be there, and he'd be I think the fourth, fifth,

379
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: fifth kicker ever in the Hall of Fame. Like I

380
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: expect that he'll be do that one. And I'm sure

381
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: he will give credit to those around him and deservedly so,

382
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, they have certainly helped him.

383
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 5: Along the way.

384
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: But there's no doubt that Jay Tuck is just the

385
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: goat in and of himself.

386
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 4: Also, so we're talking about soccer as a Hall of Famer,

387
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to say that the Launch podcast

388
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: is a Hall of Famer. We'reett a gold jacket. Is

389
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 4: this podcast getting a gold jacket?

390
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 5: It's to size them up.

391
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 4: Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame Rain Jack Them Up Podcast. Yes,

392
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: I agree, five hundred episodes. It's been a good run.

393
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 4: So we thought it would actually be fun to go

394
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 4: back and look at the very first episode that we did.

395
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 4: We started this thing in the fall of twenty sixteen.

396
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think in August. Augusta was around this time.

397
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 4: It was around this time again, as we've mentioned, Justin

398
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 4: Tucker was the first guest, So we thought it would

399
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 4: be fun to roll in the beginning of that very

400
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: first episode and see what's changed, what's maybe not changed

401
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: over the course of these five hundred episodes. So here

402
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: it is. This is the very first Lounge episode ever.

403
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens, the very first Ravens Lounge podcast.

404
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,639

405
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 4: a long awaited process.

406
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: Here.

407
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 4: We're two staff writers for the Baltimore Ravens, and what

408
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 4: we want to do is we want to take the

409
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: conversations that happen behind closed doors here. Both Ryan and

410
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 4: I we've been here for five years together and we

411
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 4: have a lot of conversations in our office and we

412
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 4: want to bring some of those conversations to the public view.

413
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 4: Here So why is it called.

414
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 5: The Ravens Lounge.

415
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: It's called that because players, staff members, basically a lot

416
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: of people come through our office and end up shooting

417
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: the breeze with us talking football, we end up arguing

418
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: with each other.

419
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: So we're gonna bring those to you.

420
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: Every single Tuesday, we will be releasing a new podcast,

421
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: and we are lucky to be joined on the very

422
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: first one by Justin Tucker. Justin, you've accomplished a lot.

423
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: This might be at the top of the list. You're

424
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: kicking off the Lounge podcast, the first ever guest, first

425
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:51,360
Speaker 1: ever podcast.

426
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 5: This might be your greatest honor.

427
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: Seriously, though, I was just about to say, what an honor,

428
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 3: what an achievement. This is great man. We're comfortable sitting

429
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 3: here on the cow. I feel like I've made it.

430
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 4: Does his rank? Super Bowl? Big Contract? This is.

431
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 3: By far and away. This is not the top.

432
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: Well, not much has changed, but he's still the same

433
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 1: terrible jokes. What's funny is when we recorded this podcast,

434
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: we had not gone back and listened to the first yet,

435
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: and we start ol Tucker the same bad joke.

436
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, he gave us the same pity laugh you know,

437
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 4: all these years later.

438
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he made the same joke too, exactly top of

439
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 5: the list.

440
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we all just go back to the hits, you

441
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: know we have, we had we stay in our lane, right.

442
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: The first question generally speaking of every interview with the

443
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: player or something about their nickname, it's some terrible joke

444
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 1: that I make.

445
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 5: Some land, some do not.

446
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: You know, the one with Nelly and the whole Nelly

447
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: Nelly hot in here didn't land.

448
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, just felt fun.

449
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: You has a missus.

450
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 5: Oh, I've had a lot of missus.

451
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 4: I mean, you got to keep swinging.

452
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: If you stop swinging, you get called out on strikes

453
00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: looking and that's just that's no.

454
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 3: Way to go down.

455
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 4: You're a volut volume shooter, no doubt about that. You're

456
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: a volume shooter. It's your you subscribe. It's not the

457
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: more shots you take. It's just.

00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 4: ever done. What's what are your favorites?

463
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, I remember one of the earliest ones with

464
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Terrell Suggs ever being particularly good. I mean, Jay talk

465
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: on the number one, did an impersonation you have that

466

Speaker 1: you want to.

467
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 4: Actually, we actually pulled up a clip here. This is

468
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: from the very first episode of Lounge Podcast, and we

469
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 4: asked Tucker on that episode about we were talking about

470
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: impressions because he was doing some impressions at that time,

471
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 4: so we were asking him about do you have any

472
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 4: good ones? What are your favorite impressions? So I want

473
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: to pull up this clip here from twenty sixteen from

474
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 4: episode number one.

475
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 3: My Rookie Year for my training Camp rookie show, Christopher

476
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 3: Walkins bit from Catch Me If you Can, you know,

477
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 3: to lit Mile Tu little mice fell in a bucket

478
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 3: of cream.

479
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 4: At first Miles, he quickly gave up and he drowned.

480
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 3: You know. That's that's about all I got.

481
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: So what do you think of his Christopher Walking impression?

482
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 5: It would be pretty great.

483
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 1: I wish we had more time with him today. We

484
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: could have gotten more impressions.

485
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 4: You know. It's funny that he did that impression during

486
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 4: his rookie talent show like that shows. I think one

487
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: of the things that stands out about Tuck is like

488
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: from the very first time he stepped onto campus here,

489
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 4: yeah he was he was not a shrinking violet like

490
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 4: he he was comfortable in a big moment, in the

491
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 4: big stage in front of a room, and I think

492
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 4: that was clear all the way from that Rookie Talent Show.

493
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 4: So any other interviews stand out to you?

494
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: The Lamar one that we had him a few times,

495
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: the most recent one after he signed his contract, I

496
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: thought it was particularly good and how he opened up

497
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: about that and what that meant to him and yeah,

498
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 1: he you know, Lamar, he's he's great. And I felt

499
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: like that interview after what had transpired with the contract

500
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: and the weight of all that, and just you know,

501
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: he just really kind of opened up for us.

502
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 5: And I thought that was a good one.

503
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: I thought that was good. I actually I would go

504
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 4: back and check out the In the first interview that

505
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: we did with Lamar, this was his rookie season, wasn't

506
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,919
Speaker 4: even the starter yet. We talked about his background, his

507
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: his family, the Combine process, the people that suggested like.

508
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: Want him to be Yeah, the Vikings, wasn't it.

509
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: I think it was the Chargersers wanted him to play

510
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 4: running back or work out a receiver, all that stuff.

511
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 4: We talked about all that stuff, and it was, you know,

512
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 4: it was Lamar's a rookie and it was pretty insightful

513
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,360
Speaker 4: just to get to know him a little bit, how

514
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: he operates, how he ticks. I thought that was good.

515
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 4: I've also enjoyed the interviews that we've done with DaCosta,

516
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 4: especially around draft, like those are really insightful. Learned a

517
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 4: lot about our prospects, our players, the process. So those

518
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 4: have been a lot of fun as well. But five

519
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 4: hundred episodes is a lot, you know. I think the

520
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 4: other thing too that I've enjoyed is like I think

521
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 4: it's been awesome the way we've been able to connect

522
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 4: with fans literally across the world. Like we love getting emails.

523
