Speaker 1: AFC Championship coming up on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: There's a lot of attention on this game and these

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: two teams during this week, and there was a whole

6
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: bunch of media in the house. Here today is the

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: Ravens had practice and also held some press conferences. Let's

8
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: kick things off a head coach John Harbaugh.

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: Okay, great seeing everybody. Appreciate everybody being here. I started

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: on the week. We our first practice day. We're good meetings,

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,959
Speaker 2: We're off to a good start. We're excited about having

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: a great day today.

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: What question do you have.

14
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: When you're going against you know, Pat homes and kind

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 4: of stands out as far as like your biggest challenge

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 4: when you know when you addressing kind of concerns more.

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty hard to pick one one of the

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: biggest challenges versus Patrick Mahomes. I think it's the whole package.

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: Everything he does, he's he's a playmaker, he runs that offense.

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: He is the center of the offense in every way,

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: makes all the calls organizes, him, creates, obviously plays, he's

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: he's he's a big challenge.

23
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 5: Coach.

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: I know you and coach you have a long relationship.

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 6: When it comes to this week and you're playing each

26
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 6: other and so much on the line, you just cut

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 6: things off ahead of time or what's it like when

28
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 6: you're not playing?

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we're both like all coaches, you're kind

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: of wrapped up in your own team, right you're I mean,

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: it's not like we're talking every week or anything like that.

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: So surely not that it's no different in that sense.

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Just we're playing each other at this point in time

34
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: with so much on the line.

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I bet it's I.

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 7: Don't know if it's a dream, but is this something

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 7: that you're looking forward to? Is it like sort of

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 7: the mentor Yeah?

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: I think it's pretty cool, you know.

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: I mean I look back to the those years and

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: you think about all the all the great coaches that

42
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: run that staff. The staff and Andy assembled and and mentored,

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: as you said, and taught us all so much. We

44
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: were a close group of guys, and I'm kind of

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: a staff that loved each other, you know. I see

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: a lot of that in this staff too. You know,

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: and you know, idn't give you all the names. I mean,

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 2: Steve Spagnola is on their staff. Now, he was a

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: big part of that. We became close friends, and Dave

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Tobe and Tom Melvin, but also all the other guys

51
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: you know, Ron Rivera and Brad Childress and Leslie Frazier

52
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: and Pat Shermer. You know, you go down the line

53
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: so many amazing coaches's.

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 8: Played six straight answer championship games. Has that experience be

55
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 8: anything as far going to this name whereasus a new year,

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 8: new teams, et cetera.

57
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure it's very valuable for them.

58
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: I mean they've been in this situation, you know, many

59
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: times and uh uh they played in this game. So

60
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 2: I think they're a very experienced team. You know, they're

61
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 2: a hardened team. They've been through a lot and uh

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 2: and uh, I'm sure that's uh. That experience always is helpful.

63
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 9: John, do you think the one that you guys have

64
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 9: had to go through the number of teams that the

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 9: winning teams, the playoff teams, do you think that has

66
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 9: given you the experience your gee goal in a game

67
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 9: like that.

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all those things forward you as a

69
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: team and you get to this point, teams are forged.

70
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: You know, they've been through a lot. You know our story,

71
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 2: our journey is our journey, right, and it's unique. It's

72
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: it's no different than human beings or individuals. You know,

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: everybody's on their own unique path and our path is

74
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: our path. And we've had you know, a lot of

75
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: short weeks, a lot of quick turnarounds, a lot of

76
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 2: tough teams. We've played a lot of physical ballgames, teams

77
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: that were playing for a lot. That's been our journey

78
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: this year. So that's how we've been forged for this

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: for this moment, I'd like to the creation of the

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: internship program back in twenty fourteen that end up bringing

81
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: them Mike McDonald here and how did that come to be?

82
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 7: What was the inspiration for that and work out as

83
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 7: I guess as well as your hope.

84
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's worked out.

85
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: I mean it's worked out just with those guys obviously

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: that are here on the staff now, but also a

87
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: number of other guys that in gals that are here

88
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: on that are still here coaching or that have gone

89
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: out of places. And coach was a hugely successful idea

90
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: that we had way back when we kind of came

91
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: up with it together.

92
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: I would say a.

93
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: Lot of guys like Dan Parsons were involved and I

94
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: think back to Matt Weiss was involved in that. Other

95
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: coaches and then Assie and Eric were a big part

96
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: of that. Scott Cohen's been a big part of that

97
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: from the beginning and ah to the opportunity to give

98
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: young people an opportunity, you know, and go out and

99
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: try to find the very best people, the most deserving.

100
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: Candidates that you could find.

101
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: You know that we could uh that are working in

102
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: football somewhere, so try to keep it going. We got

103
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: some great young people right now in that program.

104
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 10: With with you know, the goal of getting the Super

105
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 10: Bowl just one game away. You know you've been in

106
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 10: this spot before with teams, But what do you think,

107
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 10: what would you say the biggest I guess the thing

108
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 10: is this week to keep the mindset and the mentality

109
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 10: like it has been all season and not you know,

110
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 10: get too high.

111
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is always the biggest thing.

112
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: It's you want to go play well, you know it's

113
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: it's one game. It's like the Hoosiers movie, right, I

114
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: mean you have you seen that movie, Sean?

115
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 5: You know, you know like, I.

116
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: Gotta say it to our team because most of I'll

117
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: bet our players haven't seen it. You know, if I

118
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: gave him that reference, I mean, you know, ten feet high,

119
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: you know, the free throw line is it's ten feet

120
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: you know, so it's you know, one hundred yards long

121
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 2: and fifty three and the third yards wide. The field

122
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 2: doesn't change. The hassmarks are on the same spot. So really,

123
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 2: our guys understand that. You know, they've understood that all year.

124
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: Your focus is always going to be on just playing

125
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: your best football game and all the details of going

126
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: to that one play at a time. That's what my

127
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: mom always says.

128
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: So I'll go with that advice.

129
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 11: Smith has to not only be like a great player himself,

130
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 11: but kind of raise the level of teammates around him.

131
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 11: Is that is that a quality that you all saw

132
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 11: in him when before he made a trader?

133
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: And what was that quality?

134
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: Part of it?

135
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 3: What you wanted and what reason why you Yeah?

136
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean our scouts do a great job. I think

137
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: that Joe Hortiz going back and scouting ro Quand back

138
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: at Georgia. You know those are all in the you know,

139
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 2: so you kind of you knew what kind.

140
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: Of a guy you were getting for sure.

141
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: Then you saw him at Chicago and how he conducted

142
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: himself and how he played. But you never know until

143
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: guys here exactly how it's gonna fit you, you know,

144
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: in your chemistry. And it's definitely been right. You know,

145
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: it's definitely been perfect fit, perfect match. He's just been

146
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: himself and uh, you know he was he was always

147
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: a raven. He just didn't know until he got here.

148
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: I guess to quote the great Steve Smith, you know,

149
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: so it's been a great fit. I think he does

150
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: make everybody around them better. To your point, the greatest

151
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 2: players tend to do that.

152
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 12: Right when Isaiah or when Mark got hurt, you know,

153
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 12: there were folks questioning, I've never hurt you guys a

154
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 12: lot offensive league in the building.

155
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 13: What were you guys expecting out of Isaiah in terms

156
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 13: of replacing what Mark.

157
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 12: Does for you guys?

158
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 14: And has he met those expectations as he exceeded them?

159
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we said it. Then if you go

160
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: back and look, I think you asked me this question

161
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: back then, you know, and that's the same answer as

162
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: I gave you that. You know, we expect Isaiah to

163
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: step right in and play at a high level. You know,

164
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: we see him in practice, we knew what he was

165
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 2: capable of doing. And then everybody else picks up, you know,

166
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: and picks up a little more right along the way.

167
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: But I don't don't believe anybody's surprised by how well

168
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: Isaiah's played. H And but you're happy when you see it.

169
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: You know, you want to see it happen and actualize.

170
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: So to see that happen has been great.

171
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 15: When you guys drafted Lamar, you have this incredible speed,

172
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 15: you know, still does as his body has changed, as

173
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 15: his rolling, his offense has changed. What are the other

174
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 15: kinds of skills that he has as a runner that

175
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 15: have made him still, you know, among the best guys

176
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 15: and break guys.

177
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 13: Better fuel.

178
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think anybody could probably answer that

179
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: question is watch watch him play? You know, so, uh,

180
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: he's hard to tackle. I mean to me, I guess

181
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: the greatest compliment would be being hard to tackle. I

182
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: can think back when I was a kid, I read

183
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: the Woody Hayes book, and Woody Hayes talked about you

184
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: could tell what a great running back look like carrying

185
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: the ball, say, by how many tackles people miss trying

186
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: to tackle him. I think that's true for wide receivers

187
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: run after the catch. It's true for you know, quarterbacks

188
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: on scrambles. I mean, Patrick Mahomes is one of the

189
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: best that making tacklers missed. So Lamar's unique that way.

190
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: He's one of the best I've ever seen. Obviously anybody's

191
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: ever seen. So he's a tough tackle.

192
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: That's your queen.

193
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 13: And said a couple weeks ago, like some of these

194
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 13: teams want to play basketball on grass, We're gonna.

195
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: Hit who you want to hit.

196
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: The emersis being on physical.

197
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: Hamilton's really developed.

198
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 15: Of a physical player when he was strap out him

199
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 15: to talk about his length and to some extent, his

200
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,479
Speaker 15: physical what's impressed you about the way he plays.

201
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 2: Physically, Well, I would say just what you're saying, But

202
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a physical player. You know, he's a

203
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: very good tackler. That that tackle on the screen on

204
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: the left side last week, where he came up and

205
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: fronted up the ball carrier just squared him right up,

206
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: kind of chest the chest on most and then drove

207
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 2: him back probably epitomizes that he's just he's he's he's

208
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 2: he's a hitter. He shows up where he where it's

209
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: required to show up to make the play, and he

210
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: does it. You know, he does it, you know, kind

211
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: of a bad attitude, so to speak. So that's how

212
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: you want to see guys play. And you know, I

213
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: think we were hoping to get that. You know, you

214
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: always hope to get that from all your players. And

215
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: we got a lot of guys to play like that.

216
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 2: Kyle's one of them.

217
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 8: What's on the second half, you guys started to lean

218
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 8: on Lamar and his legs a lot more. He's so

219
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 8: efficient in those quarterback design one place. Is it a

220
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 8: challenge to to kind of not call those plays maybe

221
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 8: more often, to try to, you know, keep him up

222
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 8: right and allow him to be more balanced.

223
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: As for that, I think right now everybody's focuses and

224
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: just putting the best team out there we can, the

225
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: most explosive offense we can, the best plays we can

226
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: really by whatever means necessary.

227
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 3: That's what our thought is on that.

228
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 5: Flowers was coming out.

229
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 12: You know, if there was questions about his size, why

230
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 12: was that not an issue for.

231
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 5: You guys when you were a scout.

232
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: Well, I mean everything is an issue. You look at everything,

233
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: for sure, Jet, But with Zay, you just look at

234
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: the tape. I mean we always we always believe that

235
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: tape is the king. You know, if you want to,

236
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: if you want to evaluate a football player, start with

237
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 2: watching him play football. And so you watched a play football.

238
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 2: He played. He played really good. You know, he made catches,

239
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: he made people miss. And then you want to say, okay,

240
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 2: is this going to translate? Well, how do you think

241
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: this is going to translate to the NFL. That's a

242
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 2: little more that's a little more of a you know,

243
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: uh educated kind of a guess that you have to make,

244
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: so to speak. But we just felt like he had

245
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: all the other intangibles in terms of mindset and attitude

246
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: and smart and competitive and hard worker, love football, all

247
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: those kinds of things that made you feel like that

248
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 2: amazing skill set was going to transfer. And that really

249
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: was what it did.

250
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: It for us.

251
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbaugh. Next up is quarterback

252
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson.

253
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 9: So, Lamar, you played a lot of football games your

254
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 9: whole life.

255
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: This year AFC Championship game, is there a different feeling

256
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 4: for you, intreaus.

257
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 16: Uh nah, not really, no different feeling. You know, it's

258
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 16: a it's another game, a higher level atmosphere. Game that's

259
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 16: about it. You know, the uh atmosphere, it's gonna be different.

260
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 8: I know there's obviously more you wanna do, but just

261
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 8: with so much craziness to especially this all season, to

262
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 8: to get to this point right now where you're a

263
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 8: game away from the super Bowl meant just what does

264
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 8: it mean to go from maybe the uncertainty in the

265
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 8: off season to now, you know, playing for an opportunity

266
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 8: to go play for.

267
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 5: It off Uh.

268
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 16: To be honest, card that it doesn't mean anything right now.

269
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 16: You know we still have still out there on you know, uh,

270
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 16: the prize, you know that what we're chasing right now,

271
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 16: So it really doesn't change nothing until til we complete

272
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 16: the mission.

273
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 17: May you talked about that atmosphere just just a second

274
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 17: to me? Is that that more is you're gonna hear

275
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 17: when you run out on?

276
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: So there is that kind of or what you have

277
00:11:59,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 7: in mind?

278
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 17: And I you were drafted when you talked about reading

279
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 17: your super Bowl to this city.

280
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 16: Mom, because the mission isn't complete you know on once

281
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 16: that once that mission is complete, then I'm go'a have

282
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 16: an answer for you or right.

283
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 7: That the young mission that's in complete, did you have

284
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 7: to sort of balance yourself now put too much pressure

285
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 7: on yourself in this situation, or that's the team effort,

286
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 7: not just fund your gown.

287
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 16: Not at all, you know, just for us to be

288
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 16: in this situation. I I wasn't putting pressure on myself.

289
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 16: You know, I'm going into every game the same way,

290
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 16: same mindset. Uh, just going one player at the time,

291
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 16: you know, you know, you know the saying one player

292
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 16: at the time, one game at a time, and that's

293
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 16: pretty much been that.

294
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: I I don't put pressure on myself at all. Or

295
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 3: you gonn transferred for rek On?

296
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 11: What did he break through this team in this franchise?

297
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: Man?

298
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 16: He run uh the Ray Ray Lewis juice back, you know,

299
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 16: for for our generation, the grit, you know, the the everything,

300
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 16: you know, the leadership, his poors, his aggression. You know,

301
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 16: we we needed that from out from my linebacker, from

302
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 16: both of 'em. You know him and Patrick be doing

303
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 16: a wonderful job. But but Row, He's just unbelievable. You know,

304
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 16: we we needed that, and I'm glad we got him

305
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 16: every day. The great job.

306
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 10: Why in either first playoff matchup fifteen quarterbacks.

307
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 7: Under th years older or before we're at a vast.

308
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 12: I know you're playing.

309
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 18: Against the Chiefs defense, but everybody's gonna talk about you

310
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 18: and pat the house.

311
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: What is it.

312
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 7: About that kind of matchup that you really like?

313
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 10: What is it about competing.

314
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 3: Against him that you really like?

315
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 16: I don't like competing against him at all? Yeah, uh

316
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 16: but yeah, I mean he's a great quarterback. Definitely hall

317
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 16: of famer. Uh it's not even a it's a new brander.

318
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 16: He's definitely a Hall of Famer. But I it's just

319
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 16: I believe it's just two to two greats up and

320
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 16: coming grades, just going toe to toe, you know, like

321
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 16: a heavyweight fight, heavyweight matchup.

322
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 3: That's that's just what I see a few years since

323
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: you played the Chiefs.

324
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 13: But that that last game, obviously big comeback in fourth quarter.

325
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 13: What was the feeling like in betwe like when you

326
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 13: were on the field. Does it add more pressure when

327
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 13: you know that offense is gonna get the ball back

328
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 13: and you know you gotta keep the ball away, so

329
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 13: to speak, and keep him.

330
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: From getting a chance.

331
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 16: No, like I like I told like I told him,

332
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 16: you know, there's no pressure at all on my shoulders

333
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 16: or on my mind. The defense just gotta do what

334
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 16: they've been doing all season, and we gotta do what

335
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 16: we supposed to do. You know, put points on the

336
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 16: board and we would have nothing to word about. You know,

337
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 16: just everyone do their job. It's a great team, no

338
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 16: doubt about it. You know all phases special teams, offense, defense.

339
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 16: But if you score on points and you you stop

340
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 16: an opposing team, we'll have a fair chance to win.

341
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: And that's just what we need to do.

342
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 8: You see this defense every day they they given every

343
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 8: offense fits to this point.

344
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 16: What what makes them so great is your open I

345
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 16: believe every each and every got on our defense just hungry.

346
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 16: You know, they got they own chip on their shoulder

347
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 16: from whatever they've been through.

348
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: You know, we don't know everyone's.

349
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 16: Story, but I I believe our defense just we got

350
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 16: different guys with different mindsets, but the same goal and

351
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 16: and and that's showing out there on the field.

352
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: You know how they're.

353
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 16: Just just running over people and hitting people, you know,

354
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 16: making creating turnos and stuff like that. Uh man, I

355
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 16: defense just unique in their own ways.

356
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 15: Talks about how you know a lot about the South

357
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 15: Florida guy, he's coming out.

358
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 4: And you trust you you kind of talked about all

359
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: of those guys, when did you first hear about Jay Flowers?

360
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 4: And why did you think he would beat such a

361
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 4: good fit.

362
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 16: For this off that you're I heard about Jay Flowers

363
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 16: and youth football growing up.

364
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 3: You know, they was always talking about the little kid

365
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: number four U uh.

366

Speaker 3: Seven or something like that.

368
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 16: I always heard about Jay and you know, high school college,

369
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 16: he was still that same guy. And when, uh, when

372
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 16: his team wasn't you know, they did they wasn't all that.

373
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: I don't wanna say it like that, but it wasn't.

374
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 16: But uh, but they made the most of it, you know,

375
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 16: and most was his opportunities and he just showed it.

386
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 16: a lot.

387
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 3: You know.

388
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,960

393
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 16: of you know, uh, kind of a player he is,

394
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 16: and what he brings to the table for us, It'll

395
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 16: definitely mean a lot for us.

396
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 5: You know which one you know?

397

399
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 16: That's up the Mark and coach Harball. Hopefully he will

400
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 16: be up though, hopefully.

401
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 10: If Andrews can go Pards likely what kind of men

402
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 10: does that give you guys, to those guys.

403
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 16: I don't know what dimension it brings us, you know what,

404
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 16: what would it give us? But what those guys on

405
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 16: the field, we'll see, h we'll see what all the

406
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 16: time that we have around those guys as well, we'll

407
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 16: definitely see.

408
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: You know, you talk, you talk a lot this year

409
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: about being locked in. Yeah, what what specify?

410
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 12: When?

411
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 3: What the ways have you been? Is how I think

412
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: you catting.

413
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 13: Into this season's specify that.

414
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 12: Uh.

415
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 16: I'll just say like small details, uh, things that I

416
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 16: probably probably would like overshadow back, you know, years in

417
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 16: the past, but now I'm tryna, I'm tryna think about

418
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 16: all the small details what would help us in in

419
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 16: every situation.

420
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 3: That's pretty much what I mean by staying locked in

421
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: and focused.

422
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 19: Us about playing a one game where as locked as

423
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,199
Speaker 19: you are and.

424
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 14: You're allowed you thought to say about that's right.

425
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 16: Yeah, that's that's why I have to folk focused on

426
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 16: the LC Championship and not the super Bowl, cause I

427
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 16: did think about it, but we can't overshadow what's in

428
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 16: front of us right now, not at all. You know,

429
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 16: those guys are the former former super Bowl champions, and

430
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 16: to be a champion, you gotta go through a champion.

431
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: You know, so that that's pretty much the mindset.

432
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,840

455
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

456
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 15: A couple of years ago, you can't train, can have

457
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 15: have gone some muscle. Uh why is that important to you?

458
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 15: And how do you think that has kind off? That's

459
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 15: just the way that you can't play this game.

460
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

461
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 16: I I just felt, uh, well, you know the years

462
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 16: in the past, our guys, our officer line went down

463
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 16: and stuff like that. So I I felt like I

464
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 16: was gonna take uh more hits. I just thought at

465
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 16: the time. So I just thought it was best for

466
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 16: me to just put on some more weight. But Oline

467
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 16: is doing so good. I didn't need all the weight.

468
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,360
Speaker 15: Either want more for if you all to be lost

469
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 15: in the meaning you feel like you lost any speed

470
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 15: when you can put on that that muscle.

471
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 16: Nah, I I don't think I lost any speed. I

472
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 16: I'll probably say I got tired a little faster.

473
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 3: That's about it.

474
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 12: Wow.

475
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 13: What about your relationship with Likely has enabled to trust

476
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 13: to build so quickly? W was it when he just

477
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 13: came in last year's a rookie or or what's it

478
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 13: allowed that relationship to build.

479
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: Just just from seeing him working practice?

480
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 8: Uh?

481
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 3: It it started last year.

482
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 16: But seeing him borking practice and seeing what he's doing

483
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 16: versus our guys on defense. You know, we got great

484
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 16: guys on defense all across the board. But when he

485
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 16: making plays against guys like Kyle, like competing against Kyle

486
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 16: Iron Schoppins Iron.

487
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 3: You know Kyle's a great, great safety, but Iron Shoppins.

488
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 16: Iron, and I'm saying I'm competing, you know, going back

489
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 16: and forth, he'll win one, He'll win one. Like he's

490
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 16: just he's just playing great football. I'm like, we got

491
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 16: a dog Unlikely and he's showing up on film, it's

492
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 16: showing up game day.

493
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. Now let's hear from a

494
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: linebacker rookwand Smith rookwan.

495
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 12: Uh.

496
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 4: This season, you guys have played the best against the best.

497
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 5: Why the record, right?

498
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 4: Why do you feel this team has done this?

499
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 20: I think we just do we're signed up to do,

500
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 20: and that's play for each other at the end of

501
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 20: the day, give everything we got and try to send

502
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 20: a message play in and play out, and hey, no

503
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 20: bigger station do that than the game coming up this week.

504
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 14: This will be the first time you've played against Patrick

505
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 14: for Holmes.

506
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: We know how good he is, but what is studying him?

507
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 4: What is what makes him that good?

508
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 7: What makes him that difficult to be as the rest

509
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 7: of the NFL's experience of last five years.

510
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 20: Yeah, absolutely, we all know he's an elite quarterback. Does

511
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 20: everything well I think personally, just as his ability to

512
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 20: be able to read coverages as well as it stim plays,

513
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 20: it stim plays with his legs and then you know,

514
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,400
Speaker 20: if you're not plastering being able to throw it down

515
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 20: the fielding can hurt you that way. So he's a

516
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 20: great quarterback.

517
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 5: We all know that.

518
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: But so are we on defense. So let's see how

519
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 3: much how much.

520
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: We're difficult with that name or gott.

521
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: I think it just goes back to doing your job.

522
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 20: And I have the aulmost respect for each and every

523
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 20: guy to go to war Worth on the field, and

524
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 20: I know, play in and play out, we want to

525
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 20: dictate the game our way at the end of the day.

526
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 20: So you know, hats off of him for everything that

527
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 20: he does, But at the end of the day, it's

528
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 20: about us, always and forever.

529
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 6: Can we self scout a little bit what makes this

530
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 6: defense so great throughout this whole season.

531
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 20: And then playing the high I think it just goes

532
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 20: back to excuse me, guys not being complacent, guys being

533
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 20: consistent day in and day out, and I think it

534
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 20: starts with the preparation throughout the week. Each and every

535
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 20: guy look themselves in the mirror, like I try to

536
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 20: tell each and every guy every day, and if you

537
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 20: give everything that you got, it's not many people that

538
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 20: can do what we can do. And I know this

539
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 20: defense is really good and we're gonna, you know, do

540
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 20: everything in our power to make sure we show that

541
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 20: to the world all those lines.

542
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 12: You know, your lads defense in the guys wins championships.

543
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: The you guys is who that plays for such a

544
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: high level d hey prime trying through that in today's game,

545
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: that just watching an offense.

546
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: Aways a passing game.

547
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 20: Yeah, you definitely hear a lot of things about the

548
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 20: offense and defense wins championships.

549
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 3: And you know, each and every guy we know. You know,

550
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: it's a team game at the end of the day.

551
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 20: But if we dictate things on all terms and keep

552
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 20: getting the ball back to lamar Hey, it's gonna be

553
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 20: a long day for whichever other defense is out there

554
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 20: in the field. But I have the utmost faith in

555
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 20: every single guy, and we're gonna do everything it takes

556
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 20: to make sure we get the job done by any

557
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 20: means necessary.

558
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 5: You know, you guys have.

559
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 13: Really been known this year for really taking a part

560
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 13: quarterbacks and the other two quarterbacks still in the playoffs

561
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 13: beating him already does it playing against Mahomes. You also

562
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 13: elect the graduate level course.

563
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 20: And what you guys have done all year. No, I

564
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 20: don't think it's a graduate level course. I think it's

565
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 20: a It's a course that has to be done, and

566
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 20: we're gonna get it done. That's that's the message. It's

567
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 20: not about of this. He puts his pants on just

568
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 20: like any any other quarterback. Yes, he's an elite quarterback,

569
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 20: but at the end of they were an elite defense.

570
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 20: And that's that's our job to stop the up posting offense.

571
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 20: And that's what that's our job playing and play out

572
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 20: and that's what we gotta.

573
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: Do us and just sort of picking up his game drops.

576
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 20: in his game and so I think the greatest ever

577
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 20: to do it.

578
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: And just being able to pick his mind mindset.

579
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 20: And I just remember even as as a kid, well

580
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 20: before I knew I was gonna ever play for the Ravens,

581
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 20: being able to just watch his hype videos, watch his

582
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 20: speeches and things like that, and it always inspired me

583
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 20: since a little one. And you know, to be able

584
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 20: to just have those personal conversation that takes me back

585
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 20: in a sense. But you know, we all have a

586
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 20: job and all the knowledge he's given me, definitely try

587
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 20: to share it amongst the guys.

588
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 11: When you're your teams coach, we're talking about how you're

589
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 11: kind of me everyone around you play a little bit better.

590
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 5: Is that for.

591
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 3: It's natural than you.

592
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 11: It's a leader conscious of it. What is your approach

593
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 11: to that part of it?

594
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 20: Honestly, I just go out and give everything that I got,

595
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 20: lead first and foremost by example and knowing that each

596
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 20: and every guy that wants to be great at the

597
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 20: end of the day is not It's a resume that

598
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 20: you have at the end of the day. And I

599
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 20: constantly remind guys, whatever you put out there on film

600
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 20: is gonna live forever. So if you want your kids

601
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 20: to see you doing something years from now, hey hats

602
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 20: off to you. But I know one day when I

603
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 20: have kids, I want them to know that I was

604
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 20: that guy that you know, knock your face off, and

605
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 20: you know, do everything that it takes, play in and

606
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 20: play out and make sure my guy's in the best

607
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 20: place as well as I'm in the best place.

608
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: And I feel like if you do that, everything else

609
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: will work out for itself. I'm talking about history here.

610
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 5: I mean in this building, you know you're talking.

611
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 13: About red is now give the pictures of the great

612
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 13: defensive players who were here and the big playoff games

613
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 13: they played in. There a special buzz or feeling that

614
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 13: you get in a week like this, again, in a

615
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 13: big playoff game, when you just kind of consider the

616
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 13: legacy that this team is a part of.

617
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 20: Yeah, no, there's definitely a lot of history here for

618
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 20: the short years that the Ravens been a part of

619
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 20: the league since ninety six, a lot of history. But

620
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 20: just being able to bring a championship game back to Baltimore,

621
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 20: that's definitely huge.

622
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 3: Don't take that lightly. Definitely with the fans.

623
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 20: Man, the fans come in live, especially last week, so

624
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 20: it's going to be definitely huge for those guys this week.

625
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 20: And at the end of the day, it just goes

626
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 20: back to each and every guy doing what we do,

627
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 20: and that's just playing our style of ball, punishing every

628
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 20: cat and let letting everyone know after they, you know,

631
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 20: don't want to play that team again.

632
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: That's how we are.

633
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: That's how we are, and we just want to pose

634
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: our will play in and play out.

635
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 5: We'll just drive.

636
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 4: Check out the way he runs and the idea you post.

637
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 9: You to have a ferocity to get together a couple

638
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 9: of times this week.

639
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm excited for the I'm excited for the matchup.

640
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 20: Hats off to you know, I took my hat off

641
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 20: to anybody that runs the ball hard and you bring

642
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 20: it every single game, every single play. I love that

643
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 20: because at the end of the day, one is gonna

644
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 20: have to break, and I don't plan to be on

645
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 20: the breaking in your lockers.

646
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 4: Pretty close to Lamar, how would you use him characterized

647
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 4: kind of his his demeanor, his attitudes since the playoffs began.

648
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, man, talking with Jack day in and day out,

649
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 20: I just know his mindset, how excited he is about

650
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 20: to show the world exactly who he is playing and

651
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 20: play out, and just the way he's leading the offense

652
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 20: and the things he's able to do with the football.

653
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 20: And like I've always said since I've been here, I'm

654
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,719
Speaker 20: just grateful that I'm playing with him and not against him,

655
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 20: because it's definitely a handful and he can beat you

656
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 20: in so many different ways. So I'm just happy to

657
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 20: be a part of it and happy that he's on

658
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 20: my team.

659
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 14: Is there a different edge you're going against.

660
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 20: I don't think there's a different edge. I think it's

661
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 20: an edge of defending your turf. Any any man that

662
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 20: has a chance, you know someone's trying to come in

663
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 20: and take something for you that you've worked your entire

664
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 20: life for and if you need any more added substance

665
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 20: to that, than what are you playing the game for?

666
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 20: In my opinion, So it's about I know, mon, know

667
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 20: this man across from me, what are you going to

668
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 20: do to make sure we advance? And that's what I

669
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 20: think it boils down to at the end of the day.

670
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 20: And if you need any more hype or anything like that,

671
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 20: like I said, you're planning for the wrong reason. Hey,

672
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 20: I know I'm planning for the right reason. I'm trying

673
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 20: to punish your cat every chance I get allowed. You guys,

674
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 20: I think Mike McDonald allows us to just be ourselves

675
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 20: at the end of the day, gives us such a

676
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 20: unique plan, dissect offenses like it's no other like he's

677
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 20: a mad scientist in a sense, and then you know,

678
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 20: give it to us in a way that we understand it.

679
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 20: And that's hats off to the entire defensive stuff from

680
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 20: top to bottom, everybody that's on the defensive side of

681
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 20: the ball. And I love it and being able to

682
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 20: just hit you from any different angle. And when you

683
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 20: have it like that, man, it's hard to complain. And

684
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 20: everybody get there one on one. So it's about winning

685
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 20: your one on one once you get it. That's what

686
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 20: I think it is in a nutshell fun, when.

687
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 10: You're one step away from the goal that you've been

688
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 10: working your whole average, you getting superhole.

689
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 12: How different is this from the.

690
00:28:58,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 10: Keeping the element?

691
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I know one look ahead, but how different

692
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: is Yeah?

693
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 20: I think it just goes back to something is in

694
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 20: your way, trying to before trying to stop you from

695
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 20: getting where you want to go, and what are you

696
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 20: gonna do about it?

697
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 3: As a human being?

698
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 20: Like, if something is in your way and you've been

699
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 20: dreaming for something your entire life, busting your tail day

700
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 20: in and day out for something, and are you gonna

701
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 20: allow something to stop you? You're gonna give everything and

702
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 20: your human power to make sure that that's not the case.

703
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 20: And that's how we look at it, and I know

704
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 20: we're gonna play that way every given place. So tune

705
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 20: in Sunday, get your popcorn ready.

706
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 10: For getting these animated speeches in prekat for games?

707
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 12: Do you plan that ahead of time?

708
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 8: What's your message to be?

709
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 20: Honestly, I've gotten I questioned a couple of times, and

710
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 20: I never really plan any speeches. I just go from

711
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 20: what's on the heart, what's on the mind and what

712
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 20: I feel like, you know, my going out through pregame,

713
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 20: coming to the stadium, and like whatever I'm feeling mentally,

714
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 20: and I just like express that. I don't try to

Speaker 20: make things up to like make guys feel the this way.

716
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 20: I feel that way because at the end of the day,

717
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 20: it's fake. I'm myself. All I know is to be

718
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 20: myself and deliver what's on my heart instead of trying

719
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 20: to create things that are nonsense in a sense. So

720
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 20: I think that's why a lot of people go wrong

721
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 20: get in this world trying to be something they're not.

722
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: And I just expressed what's on my heart at the

723
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: end of the day.

724
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: That was linebacker rookwand Smith and next up is All

725
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: Pro safety Kyle Hamilton, which.

726
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: You know, you know the atmosphere it was for the

727
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: division game. This is the first time the raiding is

728
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: supposed to the Amcon champiship team. What do you expect

729
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 4: the atmosphere to be like the long one side.

730
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 18: Yeah, I think I've said it before, but at this

731
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 18: level you can take for granted sometimes the fans and

732
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 18: the atmosphere. You know, it's not the same around the

733
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 18: league and come from the South, come from the SEC atmosphere,

734
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 18: you kind of get used to that. But the Ravens

735
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 18: atmosphere is no different from that, I'd say, And I

736
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 18: feel like it's been turned up the whole season, but

737
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 18: it's going to be even more loud, even more chaotic

738
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 18: on Sunday, and I'm excited to see it.

739
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 14: You've taken the most snaps this season in the slot.

740
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 14: Travis Kelce has maken the most snaps this season in

741
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 14: the slot as well. What can you say about that

742
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 14: potential matchup between you two and and what do you

743
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 14: see as the challenges of his game to contain?

744
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, he's a great player in our league,

745
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 18: and he's been a great player for as long as

746
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 18: I can remember, as long as I've been watching him

747
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 18: at this level, and he's ere in every ounce of

748
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 18: respect that he's gone to this point, and it's gonna

749
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,959
Speaker 18: be a challenge. I'm part of the plan to hopefully

750
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 18: take him away, but it's a team effort at the

751
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 18: same time. You know, we got to guys up front

752
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 18: rushing the quarterback, make it unclear on my homes and

753
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 18: then in the back end, you know it's not gonna

754
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 18: be man.

755
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 5: Man the whole game.

756
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 18: We gotta have guys in the right spots, guys attached

757
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 18: to him, that kind of stuff.

758
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 13: I just want to go off of what Lamar was

759
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 13: just saying, work off of Isaiah, you guys going ahead

760
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 13: and practice what makes Isaiah likely such a tough effort?

761
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 18: Yeah, First, his hands are just different than a lot

762
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 18: of other guys. You know, he catches everything that's thrown

763
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 18: to him, and he runs his route so precisely. He's

764
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 18: very fast, honestly once he gets to where he needs

765
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 18: to go, and he's deceptive and playing with your leverage

766
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,719
Speaker 18: and stuff like that. He's super smart. Obviously, we got

767
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 18: great coaches. We got Mark in there telling him certain

768
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 18: kind of nuances stuff like that. So I think it's

769
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 18: only scratch the surface of what he can be in

770
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 18: this league. And it's kind of funny. He's technically a backup,

771
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 18: but I feel like he's top whatever you want to say,

772
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 18: tight end our league.

773
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 8: You guys obviously go against Lamar every day. How to go,

774
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 8: you know, seeing him on a daily basis prepare you

775
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 8: for the challenge of seeing the guy like Patrick Mahomes.

776
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 5: Yeah.

777
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 18: I think in terms of those two it's just about

778
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 18: creativity and keeping a play alive at the end of

779
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 18: the day. You know, there's guys up front who are

780
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 18: going to do their job and do it so well

781
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 18: that they get to you. It's just about who you

782
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 18: have back there to keep the player alive. And you know,

783
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 18: we got eight who's the best at in the world.

784
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 18: And obviously Mahomes has been doing it for a long

785
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,479
Speaker 18: time as one brings off of it. So I think

786
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 18: seeing that look in practice, you know, getting the plaster

787
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 18: of our dbs when the quarterback gets out the pocket,

788
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 18: stuff like that is really helpful for us and going

789
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 18: to be able to apply it this week.

790
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 7: People, last year, we're in this tuision.

791
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 3: Chantons go through with you, champion.

792
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 13: Is this a challenge you guys.

793
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 5: Team situation, Yeah, definitely.

794
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 18: I mean this is the the position we wanted to

795
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 18: be in, and everything that we've wanted up to date

796
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 18: is all at our control. You know, we're a game

797
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 18: away from being where we want to be, two games

798
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 18: away from completing the mission. But at the same time,

799
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 18: we have to be focused on Wednesday practice, going out

800
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 18: there having a good practice and following that up with

801
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 18: a week of good practice. But you know, going against

802
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 18: team like the Chiefs who's been a juggering out in

803
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 18: the league for a while. It's it's a privilege and

804
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 18: it's added pressure. But you know, pressure either makes diamonds

805
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 18: or pressure bus pipes. So we're hopefully going to make

806
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 18: diamonds out of it, right, What about.

807
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 12: Really residently for why do you think you a kind

808
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 12: of flying.

809
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 18: It's a challenging scheme one, and it takes a little

810
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 18: while to get all the kinks out of it, you know,

811
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 18: going through OTAs, going through camp, all that stuff. There's

812
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 18: going to be certain times where we may mess something up.

813
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 18: But going into the season, I feel like we got

814
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 18: all that ironed out and now we're kind of clicking

815
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 18: on all cylinders we have so for the whole year,

816
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 18: I think, and at the end of the day as well.

817
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 18: It's I was just joking with one of the coaches

818
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 18: the other day, I said, it's about Jimmy's and Joe's,

819
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 18: not X's and O's. So obviously the plan helps us

820
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 18: a lot going out there, but at the same time,

821
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 18: we have a bunch of guys on our side of

822
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 18: the ball who can go out there and make plays,

823
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 18: and if a play breaks down, just going out there

824
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 18: making a football player, not being.

825
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 5: A robot at your way. I like the different just

826
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 5: the duality of it.

827
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 18: You know, there's, first off, we have guys up front

828
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 18: who allows to do a bunch of stuff on the

829
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 18: back end in terms of doing their job career. But

830
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 18: I think the moving around everybody's doing different things. It's

831
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 18: it doesn't make us one dimensional.

832
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 9: You know.

833
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,279
Speaker 18: We have a bunch of guys who can do a

834
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 18: lot of different stuff and makes it hard on the

835
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 18: offense not to know who's gonna be doing one on

836
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 18: each snap. And I feel like everybody's doing a good

837
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 18: job buying into.

838
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 5: That y you talked.

839
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 17: You talked about growing up in set country, you played

840
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 17: at nor Dam, you know, where you get a lot

841
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 17: of attention. But this kind of game where you know,

842
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 17: for you, fifty million people are going to be watching,

843
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 17: where the whole city is locked into it all week,

844
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 17: is this sort of the kind of being the kind

845
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 17: of skins you have in mind as a young player

846
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 17: when you're growing up.

847
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

848
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 18: And uh it's if in anything that you do, you

849
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 18: want to do at the highest level, and this is

850
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 18: the highest level, and you know there's only four teams left,

851
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 18: so it's the best of the best, and it's about

852
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 18: what you're gonna do when the popcorns popping. So I

853
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 18: feel like I've grown up my whole life with that Monstra.

854
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 18: Just in the biggest moments, you gotta be your best self.

855
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 18: And you know, big time players, big time plays, big

856
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 18: time games, and this is the opportunity to do so.

857
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 13: A queen had said a couple of weeks ago that

858
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 13: you know, other keep want to play basketball on arractions.

859
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: We just want to hit you. How has the kind

860
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 3: of emphasis on being physical?

861
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 6: How does that manifest himself from Harball might in the

862
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 6: meeting rooms?

863
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: How does that interest something physical manifest yourself tame day.

864
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's one thing to talk about it, and it's

865
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 18: another thing to actually do it. And you can't just

866
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 18: turn that switch on and off. It's got to be

867
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 18: something that you've done throughout the whole year, throughout the

868
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 18: whole organization. You know, it starts at the top. Like

869
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 18: you said, we coach Harball just everything that he preaches,

870
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 18: just physicality on both sides of the ball, special teams.

871
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 5: It's just the way that we operate.

872
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 18: And you know, it's like I said, it's one thing

873
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 18: to say it, but I feel like we go out

874
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 18: there and prove it every day and practice where it

875
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 18: starts at, and then transitions to the game. It just

876
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 18: gets that more intense when you know we're not going

877
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 18: against each other and going against people who we don't

878
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 18: see all the time and people who can actually hit.

879
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 18: So it's I feel like they do a good job

880
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 18: here of just drafting people who have that mindset, signing

881
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 18: people who have that mindset, and even if you may

882
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 18: not coming in, you kind of adapt it once you

883
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 18: get here.

884
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 5: There's really no choice.

885
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 4: You see, you see Lamar in that locker room every day.

886
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: How much you describe kind of his his demeanor, his mindset.

887
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 18: Since the playoffs, I think just in the the whole

888
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 18: year as a whole, he's I mean, I've only been

889
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 18: here two years, but you know, I feel like there's

890
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 18: a little something different there this year. You know, he's

891
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 18: a big leader for us, where everybody on this team

892
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 18: looks to him for just energy and just good vibes,

893
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 18: and he brings out every single day and you know,

894
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 18: no matter what's going on in the building, no matter

895
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 18: what's going on in the game, he's gonna be the

896
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 18: same Lamar. And I feel like He's just carried that

897
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 18: even further into the playoffs. You know, it's it's not

898
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 18: necessarily about being a a butthole for while you're in

899
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 18: the playoffs and just being more mean once you get

900
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 18: the playoffs. It's just more consistent with what you've been doing.

901
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 18: I feel like guys respect that a lot more than

902
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 18: I feel like that's something that he's done.

903
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: Alamar. You know, players talking about when they made the

904
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 3: jump from college.

905
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 5: To the NFL.

906
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: Just the speed of the game changes.

907
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 15: If you kind of remember any any memories of you,

908
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 15: you know, slot and see if you're just trying to

909
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 15: square up the mar field on like a scramble or

910
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 15: a design and run.

911
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 18: Just kind of how different as Yeah, without giving him

912
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 18: too much credit, I feel like, uh, you know, he's different.

913
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 18: You guys see it every single game, and I see

914
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 18: it every day in practice. And that goes back to

915
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 18: somebody else's questions. Just getting prepared for the game. You know,

916
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 18: we're not gonna see a lot of guys who are

917
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 18: running out us downhill who are as shifty as him.

918
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 18: So setting up our angles and stuff like that is

919
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 18: helping us a lot going against the more. But there's

920
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 18: definitely a growing growing period there coming into camp and

921
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 18: Ota is all that stuff going against some more in

922
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 18: the open field, but kind of get to learn his

923
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 18: tendencies this and that. It's easier for me to say

924
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 18: because I see it every day. It's and I see

925
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 18: why it's hard for other guys taggling on other teams.

926
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 17: Last You've come a long way in a short period

927
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 17: of time from your rookie year too, being in a

928
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 17: Pro Bowl, all pro guy.

929
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: What is that quicker progression done.

930
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 17: For your confidence in your sense of belonging among the

931
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 17: best in the NFL.

932
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't think it's really changed my confidence per se.

933
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 18: I think it's just more reassurance, you know, because I

934
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 18: always felt that I've had the ability to succeed at

935
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 18: a high level no matter what level I'm at, and

936
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 18: I try to stay the same person every single day,

937
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 18: no matter what's going on around me. And I feel

938
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 18: like just all these accolades and stuff are cool and

939
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 18: going to be cool to tell the grandkids one day.

940
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 18: But at the same time, you know, we have a

941
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 18: bigger goal in mine and for me, like I said,

942
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 18: it's just more reassurance and at the same time, it's

943
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 18: just more respect for my peers, and I think that's

944
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 18: very important as well. You know, no offense, but I

945
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 18: could really care less what media has to say about me,

946
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,400
Speaker 18: what other people have to say about me outside of

947
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 18: my family and the ones who are close to me

948
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 18: in the building. And I feel like all that stuff,

949
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 18: you know, it comes with a certain level of respect

950
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 18: that the guys have for me, So I appreciate that.

951
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: In the locker room today, we also heard from several players,

952
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 1: So let's go to wide receiver or shot Bateman went

953
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: into the APS Championship.

954
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 21: Uh, you know, same as every week, just you know,

955
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 21: continue to stay locked in and locked in on our

956
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 21: details and you know, treated like every other week. But

957
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 21: you know, obviously there's you know, more at stake at

958
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 21: this game, so we just gotta go out and play

959
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 21: a little more.

960
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: Talk about how to how to beat the champions. You guys,

961
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: you got to beat the champions obviously, this is a

962
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: situation where the Chiefs have been previously. How does that

963
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 1: mindset kind of drive you guys at all during this week?

964
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 21: I mean, we all know what they're capable of, but

965
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 21: I think at this point we know what we're capable

966
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 21: of as well.

967
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 5: I feel like it's more so you know about what

968
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: we do, not much about what they do.

969
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 21: We just go out and play our game like we

970
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 21: have been and you know, hopefully we see what's the

971
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 21: end resort after that.

972
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: Does the performance the second half last week kind of

973
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: give confidence a second carry over from week to week?

974
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 21: Yeah, I think we started out slow, but you know,

975
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 21: I think we uh picked up our pace. Uh, I

976
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 21: mean the second half. Uh, that's how we capable. Love

977
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 21: Lamar did a a good job of leading us in

978
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 21: the right direction a half time. So, uh, you know,

979
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 21: we just gotta come out and play fast, you know,

980
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 21: accelllraating the middle in Phenishrouns.

981
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 13: A couple of challenges Kansas City's defense present for your

982
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 13: for your particular tiss Uh.

983
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 21: I mean I got a good secondary. I think it's

984
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 21: probably one of the best, uh that we face.

985
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 5: All all season.

986
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 12: Uh.

987
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 21: You know it's a real, a real challenge. You know,

988
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 21: they played physical type coverage, so you know, we gotta

989
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 21: go out and make plays.

990
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 10: From an offensive standpoint the way that Kansas City can

991
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 10: put up points and you know they're always uh dangerous

992
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 10: and you know dropped with dime mahomes.

993
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 5: Can you know that offense can.

994
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 3: Turn it around from an offensive standpoint from you.

995
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 10: For you guys, I mean, how critical is it to

996
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 10: to be on your a game and and be able

997
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 10: to to produce like you did in that second half

998
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:58,720

Speaker 21: excited to play in it.

1010
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: That was wide receiver Rashad Bateman. We also heard from

1011
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: cornerback Brandon Stevens.

1012
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,120

1013
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 6: Uh.

1014
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 22: You know a lot of teams which they could be

1015
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 22: in this position right now, so we definitely aren't taking

1016
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 22: it for granted. But yeah, we're just focused on this game,

1017
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,840

Speaker 10: How hard is it to stay in the present mentally.

1020
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 10: You know, even Lamar said he's thought about the super Bowl,

1021
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 10: but he's got us stay locked in on the championship game, right.

1022
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 10: I mean it's human nature to look ahead a little bit,

1023
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 10: and it's the super Bowl. How tough is it to

1098
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 22: you know what I mean, not not giving a a

1099
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 22: quarterback an easy throw with a guy just wide open.

1100
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 12: Uh.

1101
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,280

Speaker 5: to it.

1105
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 10: You know, were any when you figure guys losses this season,

1106
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 10: you've been vocal about it and kind of self inflected.

1107
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 3: Wounds in those games you can have.

1108
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Is it in that a confidence whouster up?

1109
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 22: Really?

1110
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 19: No team has truly just come out and guys kind

1111
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 19: of an a combination with things happening the feed girlses.

1112
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 22: Like you pay Yeah, Uh, I mean honestly, we those

1113
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 22: losses don't mean anything right now, you know. Uh yeah,

1114
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 22: we're not even thinking about that, you know, but we know,

1115
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 22: you know, we know where we've given up big plays

1116
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 22: or whatnot. And I I mean the key to every

1117
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 22: every week, uh, every week every victory is you know,

1118
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 22: limit explosive and big plays. So U yeah, we eliminate that,

1119
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:05,800
Speaker 22: you know, we'll be in good shape.

1120
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 3: John was very complimentary of big coverage last game.

1121
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 13: Obviously didn't let Houston inside twenty five.

1122
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 3: What the confidences that get you going into a week

1123
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 3: like this?

1124
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,839
Speaker 5: You know, I think honestly, we're we're a confident group.

1125
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 22: Uh, you know, no matter what we did the previous week,

1126
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 22: you know, it was it was good to get back

Speaker 22: from you know, an off week, a bye week, and uh,

1128

1130
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 22: to play, and so we just need to carry down

1131
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 22: into this week, you know.

1132
