<v Speaker 1>AFC Championship coming up on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of attention on this game and these

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>two teams during this week, and there was a whole

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.919
<v Speaker 1>bunch of media in the house. Here today is the

0:00:21.000 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>Ravens had practice and also held some press conferences. Let's

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>kick things off a head coach John Harbaugh.

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Okay, great seeing everybody. Appreciate everybody being here. I started

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 2>on the week. We our first practice day. We're good meetings,

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 2>We're off to a good start. We're excited about having

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 2>a great day today.

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 3>What question do you have.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 4>When you're going against you know, Pat homes and kind

0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 4>of stands out as far as like your biggest challenge

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 4>when you know when you addressing kind of concerns more.

0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's pretty hard to pick one one of the

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.560
<v Speaker 2>biggest challenges versus Patrick Mahomes. I think it's the whole package.

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 2>Everything he does, he's he's a playmaker, he runs that offense.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 2>He is the center of the offense in every way,

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 2>makes all the calls organizes, him, creates, obviously plays, he's

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>he's he's a big challenge.

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 5>Coach.

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 3>I know you and coach you have a long relationship.

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 6>When it comes to this week and you're playing each

0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:24.880
<v Speaker 6>other and so much on the line, you just cut

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.400
<v Speaker 6>things off ahead of time or what's it like when

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 6>you're not playing?

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we're both like all coaches, you're kind

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 2>of wrapped up in your own team, right you're I mean,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 2>it's not like we're talking every week or anything like that.

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>So surely not that it's no different in that sense.

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Just we're playing each other at this point in time

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.039
<v Speaker 2>with so much on the line.

0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I bet it's I.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:51.320
<v Speaker 7>Don't know if it's a dream, but is this something

0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:53.720
<v Speaker 7>that you're looking forward to? Is it like sort of

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 7>the mentor Yeah?

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>I think it's pretty cool, you know.

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean I look back to the those years and

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 2>you think about all the all the great coaches that

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 2>run that staff. The staff and Andy assembled and and mentored,

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 2>as you said, and taught us all so much. We

0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 2>were a close group of guys, and I'm kind of

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 2>a staff that loved each other, you know. I see

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of that in this staff too. You know,

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 2>and you know, idn't give you all the names. I mean,

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Steve Spagnola is on their staff. Now, he was a

0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>big part of that. We became close friends, and Dave

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 2>Tobe and Tom Melvin, but also all the other guys

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, Ron Rivera and Brad Childress and Leslie Frazier

0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.640
<v Speaker 2>and Pat Shermer. You know, you go down the line

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>so many amazing coaches's.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 8>Played six straight answer championship games. Has that experience be

0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 8>anything as far going to this name whereasus a new year,

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 8>new teams, et cetera.

0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure it's very valuable for them.

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean they've been in this situation, you know, many

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 2>times and uh uh they played in this game. So

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I think they're a very experienced team. You know, they're

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.399
<v Speaker 2>a hardened team. They've been through a lot and uh

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 2>and uh, I'm sure that's uh. That experience always is helpful.

0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 9>John, do you think the one that you guys have

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 9>had to go through the number of teams that the

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 9>winning teams, the playoff teams, do you think that has

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.959
<v Speaker 9>given you the experience your gee goal in a game

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 9>like that.

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think all those things forward you as a

0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>team and you get to this point, teams are forged.

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 2>You know, they've been through a lot. You know our story,

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>our journey is our journey, right, and it's unique. It's

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>it's no different than human beings or individuals. You know,

0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 2>everybody's on their own unique path and our path is

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>our path. And we've had you know, a lot of

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 2>short weeks, a lot of quick turnarounds, a lot of

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:31.519
<v Speaker 2>tough teams. We've played a lot of physical ballgames, teams

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that were playing for a lot. That's been our journey

0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 2>this year. So that's how we've been forged for this

0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>for this moment, I'd like to the creation of the

0:03:39.560 --> 0:03:42.120
<v Speaker 2>internship program back in twenty fourteen that end up bringing

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 2>them Mike McDonald here and how did that come to be?

0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 7>What was the inspiration for that and work out as

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 7>I guess as well as your hope.

0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's worked out.

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's worked out just with those guys obviously

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 2>that are here on the staff now, but also a

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>number of other guys that in gals that are here

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 2>on that are still here coaching or that have gone

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>out of places. And coach was a hugely successful idea

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that we had way back when we kind of came

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 2>up with it together.

0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I would say a.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Lot of guys like Dan Parsons were involved and I

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 2>think back to Matt Weiss was involved in that. Other

0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 2>coaches and then Assie and Eric were a big part

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 2>of that. Scott Cohen's been a big part of that

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:19.680
<v Speaker 2>from the beginning and ah to the opportunity to give

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 2>young people an opportunity, you know, and go out and

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.880
<v Speaker 2>try to find the very best people, the most deserving.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 3>Candidates that you could find.

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>You know that we could uh that are working in

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.640
<v Speaker 2>football somewhere, so try to keep it going. We got

0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:32.760
<v Speaker 2>some great young people right now in that program.

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 10>With with you know, the goal of getting the Super

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 10>Bowl just one game away. You know you've been in

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 10>this spot before with teams, But what do you think,

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:45.320
<v Speaker 10>what would you say the biggest I guess the thing

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 10>is this week to keep the mindset and the mentality

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 10>like it has been all season and not you know,

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 10>get too high.

0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the biggest thing is always the biggest thing.

0:04:56.480 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>It's you want to go play well, you know it's

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 2>it's one game. It's like the Hoosiers movie, right, I

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>mean you have you seen that movie, Sean?

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 5>You know, you know like, I.

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Gotta say it to our team because most of I'll

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>bet our players haven't seen it. You know, if I

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>gave him that reference, I mean, you know, ten feet high,

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 2>you know, the free throw line is it's ten feet

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:17.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, so it's you know, one hundred yards long

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>and fifty three and the third yards wide. The field

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.559
<v Speaker 2>doesn't change. The hassmarks are on the same spot. So really,

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 2>our guys understand that. You know, they've understood that all year.

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Your focus is always going to be on just playing

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 2>your best football game and all the details of going

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to that one play at a time. That's what my

0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 2>mom always says.

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 3>So I'll go with that advice.

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 11>Smith has to not only be like a great player himself,

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 11>but kind of raise the level of teammates around him.

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 11>Is that is that a quality that you all saw

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:49.000
<v Speaker 11>in him when before he made a trader?

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:50.120
<v Speaker 3>And what was that quality?

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 5>Part of it?

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>What you wanted and what reason why you Yeah?

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean our scouts do a great job. I think

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>that Joe Hortiz going back and scouting ro Quand back

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 2>at Georgia. You know those are all in the you know,

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 2>so you kind of you knew what kind.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:03.920
<v Speaker 3>Of a guy you were getting for sure.

0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Then you saw him at Chicago and how he conducted

0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>himself and how he played. But you never know until

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.800
<v Speaker 2>guys here exactly how it's gonna fit you, you know,

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>in your chemistry. And it's definitely been right. You know,

0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 2>it's definitely been perfect fit, perfect match. He's just been

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 2>himself and uh, you know he was he was always

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 2>a raven. He just didn't know until he got here.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess to quote the great Steve Smith, you know,

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>so it's been a great fit. I think he does

0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 2>make everybody around them better. To your point, the greatest

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.080
<v Speaker 2>players tend to do that.

0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:37.760
<v Speaker 12>Right when Isaiah or when Mark got hurt, you know,

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 12>there were folks questioning, I've never hurt you guys a

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 12>lot offensive league in the building.

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 13>What were you guys expecting out of Isaiah in terms

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.159
<v Speaker 13>of replacing what Mark.

0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:49.679
<v Speaker 12>Does for you guys?

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 14>And has he met those expectations as he exceeded them?

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean we said it. Then if you go

0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 2>back and look, I think you asked me this question

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 2>back then, you know, and that's the same answer as

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.320
<v Speaker 2>I gave you that. You know, we expect Isaiah to

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>step right in and play at a high level. You know,

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we see him in practice, we knew what he was

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>capable of doing. And then everybody else picks up, you know,

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>and picks up a little more right along the way.

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 2>But I don't don't believe anybody's surprised by how well

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Isaiah's played. H And but you're happy when you see it.

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, you want to see it happen and actualize.

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 2>So to see that happen has been great.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 15>When you guys drafted Lamar, you have this incredible speed,

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 15>you know, still does as his body has changed, as

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 15>his rolling, his offense has changed. What are the other

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.160
<v Speaker 15>kinds of skills that he has as a runner that

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 15>have made him still, you know, among the best guys

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 15>and break guys.

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 13>Better fuel.

0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean, I think anybody could probably answer that

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 2>question is watch watch him play? You know, so, uh,

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 2>he's hard to tackle. I mean to me, I guess

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the greatest compliment would be being hard to tackle. I

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 2>can think back when I was a kid, I read

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the Woody Hayes book, and Woody Hayes talked about you

0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>could tell what a great running back look like carrying

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the ball, say, by how many tackles people miss trying

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to tackle him. I think that's true for wide receivers

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 2>run after the catch. It's true for you know, quarterbacks

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>on scrambles. I mean, Patrick Mahomes is one of the

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>best that making tacklers missed. So Lamar's unique that way.

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the best I've ever seen. Obviously anybody's

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 2>ever seen. So he's a tough tackle.

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 3>That's your queen.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 13>And said a couple weeks ago, like some of these

0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.600
<v Speaker 13>teams want to play basketball on grass, We're gonna.

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:30.560
<v Speaker 4>Hit who you want to hit.

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 5>The emersis being on physical.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Hamilton's really developed.

0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 15>Of a physical player when he was strap out him

0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.600
<v Speaker 15>to talk about his length and to some extent, his

0:08:40.640 --> 0:08:43.479
<v Speaker 15>physical what's impressed you about the way he plays.

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.280
<v Speaker 2>Physically, Well, I would say just what you're saying, But

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's a physical player. You know, he's a

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>very good tackler. That that tackle on the screen on

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the left side last week, where he came up and

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 2>fronted up the ball carrier just squared him right up,

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>kind of chest the chest on most and then drove

0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 2>him back probably epitomizes that he's just he's he's he's

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>he's a hitter. He shows up where he where it's

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:06.959
<v Speaker 2>required to show up to make the play, and he

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 2>does it. You know, he does it, you know, kind

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of a bad attitude, so to speak. So that's how

0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 2>you want to see guys play. And you know, I

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 2>think we were hoping to get that. You know, you

0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 2>always hope to get that from all your players. And

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 2>we got a lot of guys to play like that.

0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:24.319
<v Speaker 2>Kyle's one of them.

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 8>What's on the second half, you guys started to lean

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 8>on Lamar and his legs a lot more. He's so

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.400
<v Speaker 8>efficient in those quarterback design one place. Is it a

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.640
<v Speaker 8>challenge to to kind of not call those plays maybe

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 8>more often, to try to, you know, keep him up

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 8>right and allow him to be more balanced.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 2>As for that, I think right now everybody's focuses and

0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.679
<v Speaker 2>just putting the best team out there we can, the

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.480
<v Speaker 2>most explosive offense we can, the best plays we can

0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>really by whatever means necessary.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 3>That's what our thought is on that.

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:58.640
<v Speaker 5>Flowers was coming out.

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.480
<v Speaker 12>You know, if there was questions about his size, why

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 12>was that not an issue for.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:05.079
<v Speaker 5>You guys when you were a scout.

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean everything is an issue. You look at everything,

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 2>for sure, Jet, But with Zay, you just look at

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>the tape. I mean we always we always believe that

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>tape is the king. You know, if you want to,

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>if you want to evaluate a football player, start with

0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:18.200
<v Speaker 2>watching him play football. And so you watched a play football.

0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 2>He played. He played really good. You know, he made catches,

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.800
<v Speaker 2>he made people miss. And then you want to say, okay,

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 2>is this going to translate? Well, how do you think

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.640
<v Speaker 2>this is going to translate to the NFL. That's a

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 2>little more that's a little more of a you know,

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>uh educated kind of a guess that you have to make,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 2>so to speak. But we just felt like he had

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 2>all the other intangibles in terms of mindset and attitude

0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 2>and smart and competitive and hard worker, love football, all

0:10:42.040 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>those kinds of things that made you feel like that

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 2>amazing skill set was going to transfer. And that really

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:47.040
<v Speaker 2>was what it did.

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 3>It for us.

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.559
<v Speaker 1>That was head coach John Harbaugh. Next up is quarterback

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:54.360
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson.

0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 9>So, Lamar, you played a lot of football games your

0:10:58.320 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 9>whole life.

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 4>This year AFC Championship game, is there a different feeling

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 4>for you, intreaus.

0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 16>Uh nah, not really, no different feeling. You know, it's

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 16>a it's another game, a higher level atmosphere. Game that's

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 16>about it. You know, the uh atmosphere, it's gonna be different.

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 8>I know there's obviously more you wanna do, but just

0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 8>with so much craziness to especially this all season, to

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 8>to get to this point right now where you're a

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.079
<v Speaker 8>game away from the super Bowl meant just what does

0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 8>it mean to go from maybe the uncertainty in the

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 8>off season to now, you know, playing for an opportunity

0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:35.559
<v Speaker 8>to go play for.

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.079
<v Speaker 5>It off Uh.

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.000
<v Speaker 16>To be honest, card that it doesn't mean anything right now.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 16>You know we still have still out there on you know, uh,

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 16>the prize, you know that what we're chasing right now,

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.960
<v Speaker 16>So it really doesn't change nothing until til we complete

0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:50.400
<v Speaker 16>the mission.

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 17>May you talked about that atmosphere just just a second

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 17>to me? Is that that more is you're gonna hear

0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:57.079
<v Speaker 17>when you run out on?

0:11:57.200 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 7>So there is that kind of or what you have

0:11:59.400 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 7>in mind?

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.079
<v Speaker 17>And I you were drafted when you talked about reading

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 17>your super Bowl to this city.

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 16>Mom, because the mission isn't complete you know on once

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 16>that once that mission is complete, then I'm go'a have

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:12.360
<v Speaker 16>an answer for you or right.

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 7>That the young mission that's in complete, did you have

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.160
<v Speaker 7>to sort of balance yourself now put too much pressure

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 7>on yourself in this situation, or that's the team effort,

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.120
<v Speaker 7>not just fund your gown.

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 16>Not at all, you know, just for us to be

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 16>in this situation. I I wasn't putting pressure on myself.

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:30.760
<v Speaker 16>You know, I'm going into every game the same way,

0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 16>same mindset. Uh, just going one player at the time,

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 16>you know, you know, you know the saying one player

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:38.480
<v Speaker 16>at the time, one game at a time, and that's

0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:39.199
<v Speaker 16>pretty much been that.

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.120
<v Speaker 3>I I don't put pressure on myself at all. Or

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.439
<v Speaker 3>you gonn transferred for rek On?

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 11>What did he break through this team in this franchise?

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 3>Man?

0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.040
<v Speaker 16>He run uh the Ray Ray Lewis juice back, you know,

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 16>for for our generation, the grit, you know, the the everything,

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.680
<v Speaker 16>you know, the leadership, his poors, his aggression. You know,

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 16>we we needed that from out from my linebacker, from

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.679
<v Speaker 16>both of 'em. You know him and Patrick be doing

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 16>a wonderful job. But but Row, He's just unbelievable. You know,

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 16>we we needed that, and I'm glad we got him

0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:10.880
<v Speaker 16>every day. The great job.

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 10>Why in either first playoff matchup fifteen quarterbacks.

0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 7>Under th years older or before we're at a vast.

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:18.600
<v Speaker 12>I know you're playing.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 18>Against the Chiefs defense, but everybody's gonna talk about you

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:21.839
<v Speaker 18>and pat the house.

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:22.439
<v Speaker 3>What is it.

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.080
<v Speaker 7>About that kind of matchup that you really like?

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 10>What is it about competing.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Against him that you really like?

0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 16>I don't like competing against him at all? Yeah, uh

0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:34.600
<v Speaker 16>but yeah, I mean he's a great quarterback. Definitely hall

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 16>of famer. Uh it's not even a it's a new brander.

0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 16>He's definitely a Hall of Famer. But I it's just

0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.720
<v Speaker 16>I believe it's just two to two greats up and

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 16>coming grades, just going toe to toe, you know, like

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 16>a heavyweight fight, heavyweight matchup.

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 3>That's that's just what I see a few years since

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.040
<v Speaker 3>you played the Chiefs.

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 13>But that that last game, obviously big comeback in fourth quarter.

0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.760
<v Speaker 13>What was the feeling like in betwe like when you

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 13>were on the field. Does it add more pressure when

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 13>you know that offense is gonna get the ball back

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.960
<v Speaker 13>and you know you gotta keep the ball away, so

0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 13>to speak, and keep him.

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 3>From getting a chance.

0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 16>No, like I like I told like I told him,

0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:16.360
<v Speaker 16>you know, there's no pressure at all on my shoulders

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 16>or on my mind. The defense just gotta do what

0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.920
<v Speaker 16>they've been doing all season, and we gotta do what

0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 16>we supposed to do. You know, put points on the

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 16>board and we would have nothing to word about. You know,

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 16>just everyone do their job. It's a great team, no

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 16>doubt about it. You know all phases special teams, offense, defense.

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 16>But if you score on points and you you stop

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 16>an opposing team, we'll have a fair chance to win.

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 3>And that's just what we need to do.

0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:42.680
<v Speaker 8>You see this defense every day they they given every

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.080
<v Speaker 8>offense fits to this point.

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 16>What what makes them so great is your open I

0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.160
<v Speaker 16>believe every each and every got on our defense just hungry.

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 16>You know, they got they own chip on their shoulder

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.360
<v Speaker 16>from whatever they've been through.

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 3>You know, we don't know everyone's.

0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 16>Story, but I I believe our defense just we got

0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.600
<v Speaker 16>different guys with different mindsets, but the same goal and

<v Speaker 3>But what what with.

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 16>Mark and the type of guy he is, the type

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 16>of you know, uh, kind of a player he is,

0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 16>and what he brings to the table for us, It'll

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:40.800

<v Speaker 5>To play between?

0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:53.320
<v Speaker 16>That's up the Mark and coach Harball. Hopefully he will

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:55.520
<v Speaker 16>be up though, hopefully.

0:16:56.240 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 10>If Andrews can go Pards likely what kind of men

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 10>does that give you guys, to those guys.

0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.000
<v Speaker 16>I don't know what dimension it brings us, you know what,

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.720
<v Speaker 16>what would it give us? But what those guys on

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 16>the field, we'll see, h we'll see what all the

0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 16>time that we have around those guys as well, we'll

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:14.480
<v Speaker 16>definitely see.

0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, you talk, you talk a lot this year

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 3>about being locked in. Yeah, what what specify?

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 12>When?

0:17:22.119 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 3>What the ways have you been? Is how I think

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:25.720
<v Speaker 3>you catting.

0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:29.280
<v Speaker 13>Into this season's specify that.

0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:34.159
<v Speaker 16>I'll just say like small details, uh, things that I

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.399
<v Speaker 16>probably probably would like overshadow back, you know, years in

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 16>the past, but now I'm tryna, I'm tryna think about

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 16>all the small details what would help us in in

0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:43.240
<v Speaker 16>every situation.

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.639
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty much what I mean by staying locked in

0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:46.600
<v Speaker 3>and focused.

0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 19>Us about playing a one game where as locked as

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:54.199
<v Speaker 19>you are and.

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.639
<v Speaker 14>You're allowed you thought to say about that's right.

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.040
<v Speaker 16>Yeah, that's that's why I have to folk focused on

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 16>the LC Championship and not the super Bowl, cause I

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.919
<v Speaker 16>did think about it, but we can't overshadow what's in

0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 16>front of us right now, not at all. You know,

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.119
<v Speaker 16>those guys are the former former super Bowl champions, and

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 16>to be a champion, you gotta go through a champion.

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, so that that's pretty much the mindset.

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 13>Who sort of game a lot of people before.

0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 14>To see you like private leagues last week on uh

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:27.840
<v Speaker 14>real flow you game or so maysic go what does

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 14>it mean for you guys in the group closest support

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 14>all over the world?

0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Wand that's crazy, that's crazy, man, That's that's great to see.

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 16>You know, our game is, you know, just spreading across

<v Speaker 5>Hit.

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 16>I would never think we'll have fans you know, uh

0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:46.800
<v Speaker 16>from UK traveling and see see this game that's great.

0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:51.480
<v Speaker 19>As oh NFL, cause you've ever played for Yeah, someone

0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 19>else who got played with man ask you what's it

0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 19>like playing rond What would you say if you have

0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 19>any theories on why he's play able to be so successful.

0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:01.960
<v Speaker 16>So just donna come here, but you not tryna win

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 16>if you don't wanna work. You know, that's the coach

0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 16>with like a military mindset. You know, he's he wants

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 16>the best out of us.

0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:11.800
<v Speaker 3>He wants to win. I like to win, so you

0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.160
<v Speaker 3>know I'm gonna do whatever it's haste to win. That's

0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 3>what you getting out your coach.

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.159
<v Speaker 15>A couple of years ago, you can't train, can have

0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.159
<v Speaker 15>have gone some muscle. Uh why is that important to you?

0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:23.520
<v Speaker 15>And how do you think that has kind off? That's

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.120
<v Speaker 15>just the way that you can't play this game.

0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:29.359
<v Speaker 16>I I just felt, uh, well, you know the years

0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.439
<v Speaker 16>in the past, our guys, our officer line went down

0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:33.440
<v Speaker 16>and stuff like that. So I I felt like I

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.560
<v Speaker 16>was gonna take uh more hits. I just thought at

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 16>the time. So I just thought it was best for

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.120
<v Speaker 16>me to just put on some more weight. But Oline

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.520
<v Speaker 16>is doing so good. I didn't need all the weight.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:47.360
<v Speaker 15>Either want more for if you all to be lost

0:19:47.400 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 15>in the meaning you feel like you lost any speed

0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:50.679
<v Speaker 15>when you can put on that that muscle.

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.240
<v Speaker 16>Nah, I I don't think I lost any speed. I

0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 16>I'll probably say I got tired a little faster.

0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 3>That's about it.

0:19:57.720 --> 0:19:57.920
<v Speaker 12>Wow.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:03.119
<v Speaker 13>What about your relationship with Likely has enabled to trust

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.680
<v Speaker 13>to build so quickly? W was it when he just

0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:07.760
<v Speaker 13>came in last year's a rookie or or what's it

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:09.440
<v Speaker 13>allowed that relationship to build.

0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 3>Just just from seeing him working practice?

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 8>Uh?

0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:14.239
<v Speaker 3>It it started last year.

0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 16>But seeing him borking practice and seeing what he's doing

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:20.040
<v Speaker 16>versus our guys on defense. You know, we got great

0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:22.440
<v Speaker 16>guys on defense all across the board. But when he

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:26.360
<v Speaker 16>making plays against guys like Kyle, like competing against Kyle

0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:27.240
<v Speaker 16>Iron Schoppins Iron.

0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:31.879
<v Speaker 3>You know Kyle's a great, great safety, but Iron Shoppins.

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 16>Iron, and I'm saying I'm competing, you know, going back

0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:35.320
<v Speaker 16>and forth, he'll win one, He'll win one. Like he's

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.919
<v Speaker 16>just he's just playing great football. I'm like, we got

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 16>a dog Unlikely and he's showing up on film, it's

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:41.320
<v Speaker 16>showing up game day.

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.920
<v Speaker 1>That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. Now let's hear from a

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>linebacker rookwand Smith rookwan.

0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:50.439
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 4>This season, you guys have played the best against the best.

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 5>Why the record, right?

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Why do you feel this team has done this?

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:03.159
<v Speaker 20>I think we just do we're signed up to do,

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.600
<v Speaker 20>and that's play for each other at the end of

0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 20>the day, give everything we got and try to send

0:21:07.760 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 20>a message play in and play out, and hey, no

0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:12.640
<v Speaker 20>bigger station do that than the game coming up this week.

0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 14>This will be the first time you've played against Patrick

0:21:17.040 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 14>for Holmes.

0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:21.000
<v Speaker 3>We know how good he is, but what is studying him?

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:22.960
<v Speaker 4>What is what makes him that good?

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 7>What makes him that difficult to be as the rest

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 7>of the NFL's experience of last five years.

0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, absolutely, we all know he's an elite quarterback. Does

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 20>everything well I think personally, just as his ability to

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 20>be able to read coverages as well as it stim plays,

0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.680
<v Speaker 20>it stim plays with his legs and then you know,

0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 20>if you're not plastering being able to throw it down

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 20>the fielding can hurt you that way. So he's a

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:48.320
<v Speaker 20>great quarterback.

0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:48.960
<v Speaker 5>We all know that.

0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.000
<v Speaker 3>But so are we on defense. So let's see how

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:54.119
<v Speaker 3>much how much.

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 4>We're difficult with that name or gott.

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it just goes back to doing your job.

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:07.280
<v Speaker 20>And I have the aulmost respect for each and every

0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 20>guy to go to war Worth on the field, and

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 20>I know, play in and play out, we want to

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 20>dictate the game our way at the end of the day.

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:15.960
<v Speaker 20>So you know, hats off of him for everything that

0:22:16.040 --> 0:22:17.680
<v Speaker 20>he does, But at the end of the day, it's

0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 20>about us, always and forever.

0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Can we self scout a little bit what makes this

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.679
<v Speaker 6>defense so great throughout this whole season.

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 20>And then playing the high I think it just goes

0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:31.160
<v Speaker 20>back to excuse me, guys not being complacent, guys being

0:22:31.200 --> 0:22:33.159
<v Speaker 20>consistent day in and day out, and I think it

0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:36.120
<v Speaker 20>starts with the preparation throughout the week. Each and every

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.159
<v Speaker 20>guy look themselves in the mirror, like I try to

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:40.359
<v Speaker 20>tell each and every guy every day, and if you

0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 20>give everything that you got, it's not many people that

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 20>can do what we can do. And I know this

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 20>defense is really good and we're gonna, you know, do

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 20>everything in our power to make sure we show that

0:22:51.000 --> 0:22:52.879
<v Speaker 20>to the world all those lines.

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 12>You know, your lads defense in the guys wins championships.

0:22:56.480 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>The you guys is who that plays for such a

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>high level d hey prime trying through that in today's game,

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that just watching an offense.

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:06.880
<v Speaker 3>Aways a passing game.

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.040
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, you definitely hear a lot of things about the

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:11.440
<v Speaker 20>offense and defense wins championships.

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 3>And you know, each and every guy we know. You know,

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:15.800
<v Speaker 3>it's a team game at the end of the day.

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 20>But if we dictate things on all terms and keep

0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.840
<v Speaker 20>getting the ball back to lamar Hey, it's gonna be

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:22.960
<v Speaker 20>a long day for whichever other defense is out there

0:23:23.000 --> 0:23:25.080
<v Speaker 20>in the field. But I have the utmost faith in

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:27.560
<v Speaker 20>every single guy, and we're gonna do everything it takes

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 20>to make sure we get the job done by any

0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:29.920
<v Speaker 20>means necessary.

0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:32.159
<v Speaker 5>You know, you guys have.

0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.840
<v Speaker 13>Really been known this year for really taking a part

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.800
<v Speaker 13>quarterbacks and the other two quarterbacks still in the playoffs

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:41.720
<v Speaker 13>beating him already does it playing against Mahomes. You also

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.119
<v Speaker 13>elect the graduate level course.

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.159
<v Speaker 20>And what you guys have done all year. No, I

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.280
<v Speaker 20>don't think it's a graduate level course. I think it's

0:23:48.320 --> 0:23:50.639
<v Speaker 20>a It's a course that has to be done, and

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:53.120
<v Speaker 20>we're gonna get it done. That's that's the message. It's

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:56.280
<v Speaker 20>not about of this. He puts his pants on just

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:59.479
<v Speaker 20>like any any other quarterback. Yes, he's an elite quarterback,

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.200
<v Speaker 20>but at the end of they were an elite defense.

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 20>And that's that's our job to stop the up posting offense.

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.000
<v Speaker 20>And that's what that's our job playing and play out

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:07.000
<v Speaker 20>and that's what we gotta.

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:11.760
<v Speaker 3>Do us and just sort of picking up his game drops.

0:24:12.440 --> 0:24:16.320
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, utmost respect for Ray and you know, everything he's

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:20.320
<v Speaker 20>done for this organization and for the linebacker in general

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 20>in his game and so I think the greatest ever

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:23.159
<v Speaker 20>to do it.

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 3>And just being able to pick his mind mindset.

0:24:25.760 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 20>And I just remember even as as a kid, well

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:29.760
<v Speaker 20>before I knew I was gonna ever play for the Ravens,

0:24:29.800 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 20>being able to just watch his hype videos, watch his

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 20>speeches and things like that, and it always inspired me

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.760
<v Speaker 20>since a little one. And you know, to be able

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.120
<v Speaker 20>to just have those personal conversation that takes me back

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 20>in a sense. But you know, we all have a

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:45.960
<v Speaker 20>job and all the knowledge he's given me, definitely try

0:24:46.000 --> 0:24:47.880
<v Speaker 20>to share it amongst the guys.

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:51.600
<v Speaker 11>When you're your teams coach, we're talking about how you're

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:54.360
<v Speaker 11>kind of me everyone around you play a little bit better.

0:24:57.920 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 5>Is that for.

0:25:00.280 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 3>It's natural than you.

0:25:01.280 --> 0:25:03.240
<v Speaker 11>It's a leader conscious of it. What is your approach

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:04.520
<v Speaker 11>to that part of it?

0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 20>Honestly, I just go out and give everything that I got,

0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:11.280
<v Speaker 20>lead first and foremost by example and knowing that each

0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:12.960
<v Speaker 20>and every guy that wants to be great at the

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:15.000
<v Speaker 20>end of the day is not It's a resume that

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:16.000
<v Speaker 20>you have at the end of the day. And I

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.240
<v Speaker 20>constantly remind guys, whatever you put out there on film

0:25:18.680 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 20>is gonna live forever. So if you want your kids

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 20>to see you doing something years from now, hey hats

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:26.040
<v Speaker 20>off to you. But I know one day when I

0:25:26.160 --> 0:25:27.680
<v Speaker 20>have kids, I want them to know that I was

0:25:27.720 --> 0:25:30.080
<v Speaker 20>that guy that you know, knock your face off, and

0:25:30.240 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 20>you know, do everything that it takes, play in and

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:33.640
<v Speaker 20>play out and make sure my guy's in the best

0:25:33.680 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 20>place as well as I'm in the best place.

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:37.280
<v Speaker 3>And I feel like if you do that, everything else

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 3>will work out for itself. I'm talking about history here.

0:25:40.720 --> 0:25:42.880
<v Speaker 5>I mean in this building, you know you're talking.

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 13>About red is now give the pictures of the great

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.240
<v Speaker 13>defensive players who were here and the big playoff games

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:52.359
<v Speaker 13>they played in. There a special buzz or feeling that

0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:55.399
<v Speaker 13>you get in a week like this, again, in a

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 13>big playoff game, when you just kind of consider the

0:25:57.880 --> 0:25:59.440
<v Speaker 13>legacy that this team is a part of.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, no, there's definitely a lot of history here for

0:26:02.680 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 20>the short years that the Ravens been a part of

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 20>the league since ninety six, a lot of history. But

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:11.240
<v Speaker 20>just being able to bring a championship game back to Baltimore,

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 20>that's definitely huge.

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:15.160
<v Speaker 3>Don't take that lightly. Definitely with the fans.

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 20>Man, the fans come in live, especially last week, so

0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.920
<v Speaker 20>it's going to be definitely huge for those guys this week.

0:26:21.040 --> 0:26:22.320
<v Speaker 20>And at the end of the day, it just goes

0:26:22.359 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 20>back to each and every guy doing what we do,

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.199
<v Speaker 20>and that's just playing our style of ball, punishing every

0:26:27.280 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 20>cat and let letting everyone know after they, you know,

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 20>get hit by us, like you got hit by the

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 20>Ravens and you know, send a message to hey, I

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:35.320
<v Speaker 20>don't want to play that team again.

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:36.520
<v Speaker 5>That's how we are.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:38.720
<v Speaker 3>That's how we are, and we just want to pose

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.200
<v Speaker 3>our will play in and play out.

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 5>We'll just drive.

0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.440
<v Speaker 4>Check out the way he runs and the idea you post.

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.360
<v Speaker 9>You to have a ferocity to get together a couple

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:49.000
<v Speaker 9>of times this week.

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:51.439
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, I'm excited for the I'm excited for the matchup.

0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 20>Hats off to you know, I took my hat off

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:56.600
<v Speaker 20>to anybody that runs the ball hard and you bring

0:26:56.680 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 20>it every single game, every single play. I love that

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:01.600
<v Speaker 20>because at the end of the day, one is gonna

0:27:01.600 --> 0:27:03.240
<v Speaker 20>have to break, and I don't plan to be on

0:27:03.320 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 20>the breaking in your lockers.

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 4>Pretty close to Lamar, how would you use him characterized

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:12.160
<v Speaker 4>kind of his his demeanor, his attitudes since the playoffs began.

0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.000
<v Speaker 20>Yeah, man, talking with Jack day in and day out,

0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:18.160
<v Speaker 20>I just know his mindset, how excited he is about

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:20.680
<v Speaker 20>to show the world exactly who he is playing and

0:27:20.760 --> 0:27:23.200
<v Speaker 20>play out, and just the way he's leading the offense

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 20>and the things he's able to do with the football.

0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 20>And like I've always said since I've been here, I'm

0:27:28.040 --> 0:27:30.719
<v Speaker 20>just grateful that I'm playing with him and not against him,

0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 20>because it's definitely a handful and he can beat you

0:27:33.200 --> 0:27:35.480
<v Speaker 20>in so many different ways. So I'm just happy to

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:37.560
<v Speaker 20>be a part of it and happy that he's on

0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:37.960
<v Speaker 20>my team.

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:40.800
<v Speaker 14>Is there a different edge you're going against.

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:44.719
<v Speaker 20>I don't think there's a different edge. I think it's

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 20>an edge of defending your turf. Any any man that

0:27:49.240 --> 0:27:51.119
<v Speaker 20>has a chance, you know someone's trying to come in

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:53.320
<v Speaker 20>and take something for you that you've worked your entire

0:27:53.400 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 20>life for and if you need any more added substance

0:27:56.119 --> 0:27:57.960
<v Speaker 20>to that, than what are you playing the game for?

0:27:58.200 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 20>In my opinion, So it's about I know, mon, know

0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:02.600
<v Speaker 20>this man across from me, what are you going to

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:04.960
<v Speaker 20>do to make sure we advance? And that's what I

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:06.919
<v Speaker 20>think it boils down to at the end of the day.

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:08.960
<v Speaker 20>And if you need any more hype or anything like that,

0:28:09.560 --> 0:28:11.560
<v Speaker 20>like I said, you're planning for the wrong reason. Hey,

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 20>I know I'm planning for the right reason. I'm trying

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:16.720
<v Speaker 20>to punish your cat every chance I get allowed. You guys,

0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 20>I think Mike McDonald allows us to just be ourselves

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 20>at the end of the day, gives us such a

0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 20>unique plan, dissect offenses like it's no other like he's

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 20>a mad scientist in a sense, and then you know,

0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 20>give it to us in a way that we understand it.

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 20>And that's hats off to the entire defensive stuff from

0:28:35.280 --> 0:28:37.800
<v Speaker 20>top to bottom, everybody that's on the defensive side of

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:40.120
<v Speaker 20>the ball. And I love it and being able to

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 20>just hit you from any different angle. And when you

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:44.840
<v Speaker 20>have it like that, man, it's hard to complain. And

0:28:45.280 --> 0:28:47.560
<v Speaker 20>everybody get there one on one. So it's about winning

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:49.240
<v Speaker 20>your one on one once you get it. That's what

0:28:49.320 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 20>I think it is in a nutshell fun, when.

0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 10>You're one step away from the goal that you've been

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 10>working your whole average, you getting superhole.

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:58.640
<v Speaker 12>How different is this from the.

0:28:58.680 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 10>Keeping the element?

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I know one look ahead, but how different

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:03.000
<v Speaker 3>is Yeah?

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 20>I think it just goes back to something is in

0:29:05.480 --> 0:29:08.840
<v Speaker 20>your way, trying to before trying to stop you from

0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 20>getting where you want to go, and what are you

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:11.200
<v Speaker 20>gonna do about it?

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:12.120
<v Speaker 3>As a human being?

0:29:12.280 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 20>Like, if something is in your way and you've been

0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:17.680
<v Speaker 20>dreaming for something your entire life, busting your tail day

0:29:17.720 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 20>in and day out for something, and are you gonna

0:29:20.240 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 20>allow something to stop you? You're gonna give everything and

0:29:22.120 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 20>your human power to make sure that that's not the case.

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:26.880
<v Speaker 20>And that's how we look at it, and I know

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 20>we're gonna play that way every given place. So tune

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 20>in Sunday, get your popcorn ready.

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 10>For getting these animated speeches in prekat for games?

0:29:38.280 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 12>Do you plan that ahead of time?

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 8>What's your message to be?

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 20>Honestly, I've gotten I questioned a couple of times, and

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.480
<v Speaker 20>I never really plan any speeches. I just go from

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.760
<v Speaker 20>what's on the heart, what's on the mind and what

0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 20>I feel like, you know, my going out through pregame,

0:29:51.960 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 20>coming to the stadium, and like whatever I'm feeling mentally,

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 20>and I just like express that. I don't try to

0:29:57.240 --> 0:30:00.320
<v Speaker 20>make things up to like make guys feel the this way.

0:30:00.320 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 20>I feel that way because at the end of the day,

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:05.240
<v Speaker 20>it's fake. I'm myself. All I know is to be

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 20>myself and deliver what's on my heart instead of trying

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 20>to create things that are nonsense in a sense. So

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:12.880
<v Speaker 20>I think that's why a lot of people go wrong

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:14.440
<v Speaker 20>get in this world trying to be something they're not.

0:30:14.560 --> 0:30:16.440
<v Speaker 3>And I just expressed what's on my heart at the

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 3>end of the day.

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.760
<v Speaker 1>That was linebacker rookwand Smith and next up is All

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Pro safety Kyle Hamilton, which.

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:27.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know the atmosphere it was for the

0:30:28.280 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 4>division game. This is the first time the raiding is

0:30:30.320 --> 0:30:33.320
<v Speaker 4>supposed to the Amcon champiship team. What do you expect

0:30:33.360 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 4>the atmosphere to be like the long one side.

0:30:36.320 --> 0:30:39.280
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I think I've said it before, but at this

0:30:39.480 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 18>level you can take for granted sometimes the fans and

0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 18>the atmosphere. You know, it's not the same around the

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 18>league and come from the South, come from the SEC atmosphere,

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 18>you kind of get used to that. But the Ravens

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.880
<v Speaker 18>atmosphere is no different from that, I'd say, And I

0:30:55.960 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 18>feel like it's been turned up the whole season, but

0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 18>it's going to be even more loud, even more chaotic

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 18>on Sunday, and I'm excited to see it.

0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:05.920
<v Speaker 14>You've taken the most snaps this season in the slot.

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.240
<v Speaker 14>Travis Kelce has maken the most snaps this season in

0:31:09.360 --> 0:31:11.680
<v Speaker 14>the slot as well. What can you say about that

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:15.800
<v Speaker 14>potential matchup between you two and and what do you

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.560
<v Speaker 14>see as the challenges of his game to contain?

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I mean, he's a great player in our league,

0:31:21.360 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 18>and he's been a great player for as long as

0:31:23.600 --> 0:31:26.120
<v Speaker 18>I can remember, as long as I've been watching him

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 18>at this level, and he's ere in every ounce of

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:30.720
<v Speaker 18>respect that he's gone to this point, and it's gonna

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:34.959
<v Speaker 18>be a challenge. I'm part of the plan to hopefully

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 18>take him away, but it's a team effort at the

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 18>same time. You know, we got to guys up front

0:31:38.840 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 18>rushing the quarterback, make it unclear on my homes and

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:43.960
<v Speaker 18>then in the back end, you know it's not gonna

0:31:43.960 --> 0:31:44.280
<v Speaker 18>be man.

0:31:44.280 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Man the whole game.

0:31:44.840 --> 0:31:47.280
<v Speaker 18>We gotta have guys in the right spots, guys attached

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:48.320
<v Speaker 18>to him, that kind of stuff.

0:31:48.800 --> 0:31:50.280
<v Speaker 13>I just want to go off of what Lamar was

0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:53.760
<v Speaker 13>just saying, work off of Isaiah, you guys going ahead

0:31:53.800 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 13>and practice what makes Isaiah likely such a tough effort?

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.959
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, First, his hands are just different than a lot

0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 18>of other guys. You know, he catches everything that's thrown

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:09.520
<v Speaker 18>to him, and he runs his route so precisely. He's

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 18>very fast, honestly once he gets to where he needs

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.280
<v Speaker 18>to go, and he's deceptive and playing with your leverage

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:17.719
<v Speaker 18>and stuff like that. He's super smart. Obviously, we got

0:32:17.760 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 18>great coaches. We got Mark in there telling him certain

0:32:20.880 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 18>kind of nuances stuff like that. So I think it's

0:32:23.120 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 18>only scratch the surface of what he can be in

0:32:24.960 --> 0:32:27.800
<v Speaker 18>this league. And it's kind of funny. He's technically a backup,

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.080
<v Speaker 18>but I feel like he's top whatever you want to say,

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 18>tight end our league.

0:32:33.000 --> 0:32:36.320
<v Speaker 8>You guys obviously go against Lamar every day. How to go,

0:32:36.680 --> 0:32:38.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, seeing him on a daily basis prepare you

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:42.160
<v Speaker 8>for the challenge of seeing the guy like Patrick Mahomes.

0:32:42.800 --> 0:32:43.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 18>I think in terms of those two it's just about

0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 18>creativity and keeping a play alive at the end of

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 18>the day. You know, there's guys up front who are

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.520
<v Speaker 18>going to do their job and do it so well

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 18>that they get to you. It's just about who you

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:57.560
<v Speaker 18>have back there to keep the player alive. And you know,

0:32:57.640 --> 0:32:59.880
<v Speaker 18>we got eight who's the best at in the world.

0:33:00.000 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 18>And obviously Mahomes has been doing it for a long

0:33:02.280 --> 0:33:04.479
<v Speaker 18>time as one brings off of it. So I think

0:33:04.560 --> 0:33:07.800
<v Speaker 18>seeing that look in practice, you know, getting the plaster

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 18>of our dbs when the quarterback gets out the pocket,

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.440
<v Speaker 18>stuff like that is really helpful for us and going

0:33:12.480 --> 0:33:13.720
<v Speaker 18>to be able to apply it this week.

0:33:16.040 --> 0:33:18.320
<v Speaker 7>People, last year, we're in this tuision.

0:33:21.160 --> 0:33:23.040
<v Speaker 3>Chantons go through with you, champion.

0:33:23.520 --> 0:33:25.640
<v Speaker 13>Is this a challenge you guys.

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 5>Team situation, Yeah, definitely.

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:32.840
<v Speaker 18>I mean this is the the position we wanted to

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 18>be in, and everything that we've wanted up to date

0:33:35.360 --> 0:33:37.720
<v Speaker 18>is all at our control. You know, we're a game

0:33:37.800 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 18>away from being where we want to be, two games

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 18>away from completing the mission. But at the same time,

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.520
<v Speaker 18>we have to be focused on Wednesday practice, going out

0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:46.240
<v Speaker 18>there having a good practice and following that up with

0:33:46.360 --> 0:33:49.240
<v Speaker 18>a week of good practice. But you know, going against

0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 18>team like the Chiefs who's been a juggering out in

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.320
<v Speaker 18>the league for a while. It's it's a privilege and

0:33:53.760 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 18>it's added pressure. But you know, pressure either makes diamonds

0:33:57.320 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 18>or pressure bus pipes. So we're hopefully going to make

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:02.360
<v Speaker 18>diamonds out of it, right, What about.

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:07.880
<v Speaker 12>Really residently for why do you think you a kind

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 12>of flying.

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:13.080
<v Speaker 18>It's a challenging scheme one, and it takes a little

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.279
<v Speaker 18>while to get all the kinks out of it, you know,

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 18>going through OTAs, going through camp, all that stuff. There's

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 18>going to be certain times where we may mess something up.

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.279
<v Speaker 18>But going into the season, I feel like we got

0:34:23.320 --> 0:34:25.720
<v Speaker 18>all that ironed out and now we're kind of clicking

0:34:25.760 --> 0:34:28.040
<v Speaker 18>on all cylinders we have so for the whole year,

0:34:28.120 --> 0:34:30.359
<v Speaker 18>I think, and at the end of the day as well.

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:32.280
<v Speaker 18>It's I was just joking with one of the coaches

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.520
<v Speaker 18>the other day, I said, it's about Jimmy's and Joe's,

0:34:34.560 --> 0:34:37.759
<v Speaker 18>not X's and O's. So obviously the plan helps us

0:34:37.760 --> 0:34:39.920
<v Speaker 18>a lot going out there, but at the same time,

0:34:39.960 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 18>we have a bunch of guys on our side of

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:42.800
<v Speaker 18>the ball who can go out there and make plays,

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:45.400
<v Speaker 18>and if a play breaks down, just going out there

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:46.720
<v Speaker 18>making a football player, not being.

0:34:46.560 --> 0:34:51.120
<v Speaker 5>A robot at your way. I like the different just

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:52.680
<v Speaker 5>the duality of it.

0:34:52.760 --> 0:34:55.799
<v Speaker 18>You know, there's, first off, we have guys up front

0:34:55.840 --> 0:34:57.239
<v Speaker 18>who allows to do a bunch of stuff on the

0:34:57.280 --> 0:35:00.400
<v Speaker 18>back end in terms of doing their job career. But

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:06.120
<v Speaker 18>I think the moving around everybody's doing different things. It's

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:08.720
<v Speaker 18>it doesn't make us one dimensional.

0:35:08.800 --> 0:35:08.960
<v Speaker 9>You know.

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:10.279
<v Speaker 18>We have a bunch of guys who can do a

0:35:10.320 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 18>lot of different stuff and makes it hard on the

0:35:12.239 --> 0:35:13.880
<v Speaker 18>offense not to know who's gonna be doing one on

0:35:13.960 --> 0:35:16.040
<v Speaker 18>each snap. And I feel like everybody's doing a good

0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:16.920
<v Speaker 18>job buying into.

0:35:16.760 --> 0:35:18.080
<v Speaker 5>That y you talked.

0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:22.000
<v Speaker 17>You talked about growing up in set country, you played

0:35:22.040 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 17>at nor Dam, you know, where you get a lot

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 17>of attention. But this kind of game where you know,

0:35:26.719 --> 0:35:28.520
<v Speaker 17>for you, fifty million people are going to be watching,

0:35:28.640 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 17>where the whole city is locked into it all week,

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 17>is this sort of the kind of being the kind

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.520
<v Speaker 17>of skins you have in mind as a young player

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:36.319
<v Speaker 17>when you're growing up.

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, definitely.

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:41.920
<v Speaker 18>And uh it's if in anything that you do, you

0:35:41.960 --> 0:35:43.480
<v Speaker 18>want to do at the highest level, and this is

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 18>the highest level, and you know there's only four teams left,

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:48.880
<v Speaker 18>so it's the best of the best, and it's about

0:35:48.880 --> 0:35:50.600
<v Speaker 18>what you're gonna do when the popcorns popping. So I

0:35:50.680 --> 0:35:54.480
<v Speaker 18>feel like I've grown up my whole life with that Monstra.

0:35:54.680 --> 0:35:58.359
<v Speaker 18>Just in the biggest moments, you gotta be your best self.

0:35:58.440 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 18>And you know, big time players, big time plays, big

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:02.920
<v Speaker 18>time games, and this is the opportunity to do so.

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:06.560
<v Speaker 13>A queen had said a couple of weeks ago that

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:09.360
<v Speaker 13>you know, other keep want to play basketball on arractions.

0:36:09.440 --> 0:36:12.960
<v Speaker 3>We just want to hit you. How has the kind

0:36:12.960 --> 0:36:14.800
<v Speaker 3>of emphasis on being physical?

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 6>How does that manifest himself from Harball might in the

0:36:18.640 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 6>meeting rooms?

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.400
<v Speaker 4>How does that interest something physical manifest yourself tame day.

0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:24.839
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, it's one thing to talk about it, and it's

0:36:24.840 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 18>another thing to actually do it. And you can't just

0:36:27.360 --> 0:36:29.000
<v Speaker 18>turn that switch on and off. It's got to be

0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:32.880
<v Speaker 18>something that you've done throughout the whole year, throughout the

0:36:32.960 --> 0:36:35.640
<v Speaker 18>whole organization. You know, it starts at the top. Like

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:38.320
<v Speaker 18>you said, we coach Harball just everything that he preaches,

0:36:38.440 --> 0:36:40.880
<v Speaker 18>just physicality on both sides of the ball, special teams.

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 5>It's just the way that we operate.

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.640
<v Speaker 18>And you know, it's like I said, it's one thing

0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:46.960
<v Speaker 18>to say it, but I feel like we go out

0:36:46.960 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 18>there and prove it every day and practice where it

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:51.960
<v Speaker 18>starts at, and then transitions to the game. It just

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:54.160
<v Speaker 18>gets that more intense when you know we're not going

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:57.279
<v Speaker 18>against each other and going against people who we don't

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.120
<v Speaker 18>see all the time and people who can actually hit.

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 18>So it's I feel like they do a good job

0:37:02.280 --> 0:37:04.360
<v Speaker 18>here of just drafting people who have that mindset, signing

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 18>people who have that mindset, and even if you may

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:08.400
<v Speaker 18>not coming in, you kind of adapt it once you

0:37:08.520 --> 0:37:08.799
<v Speaker 18>get here.

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:10.560
<v Speaker 5>There's really no choice.

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:14.120
<v Speaker 4>You see, you see Lamar in that locker room every day.

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:19.160
<v Speaker 4>How much you describe kind of his his demeanor, his mindset.

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 18>Since the playoffs, I think just in the the whole

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.279
<v Speaker 18>year as a whole, he's I mean, I've only been

0:37:26.320 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 18>here two years, but you know, I feel like there's

0:37:29.560 --> 0:37:32.080
<v Speaker 18>a little something different there this year. You know, he's

0:37:33.560 --> 0:37:36.680
<v Speaker 18>a big leader for us, where everybody on this team

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:40.400
<v Speaker 18>looks to him for just energy and just good vibes,

0:37:40.400 --> 0:37:41.920
<v Speaker 18>and he brings out every single day and you know,

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 18>no matter what's going on in the building, no matter

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:45.480
<v Speaker 18>what's going on in the game, he's gonna be the

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 18>same Lamar. And I feel like He's just carried that

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:50.320
<v Speaker 18>even further into the playoffs. You know, it's it's not

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 18>necessarily about being a a butthole for while you're in

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 18>the playoffs and just being more mean once you get

0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 18>the playoffs. It's just more consistent with what you've been doing.

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:02.560
<v Speaker 18>I feel like guys respect that a lot more than

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:05.120
<v Speaker 18>I feel like that's something that he's done.

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.920
<v Speaker 3>Alamar. You know, players talking about when they made the

0:38:09.000 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 3>jump from college.

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:10.120
<v Speaker 5>To the NFL.

0:38:10.280 --> 0:38:11.880
<v Speaker 3>Just the speed of the game changes.

0:38:12.280 --> 0:38:14.840
<v Speaker 15>If you kind of remember any any memories of you,

0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:17.320
<v Speaker 15>you know, slot and see if you're just trying to

0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:20.239
<v Speaker 15>square up the mar field on like a scramble or

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:21.080
<v Speaker 15>a design and run.

0:38:21.440 --> 0:38:25.400
<v Speaker 18>Just kind of how different as Yeah, without giving him

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 18>too much credit, I feel like, uh, you know, he's different.

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.399
<v Speaker 18>You guys see it every single game, and I see

0:38:30.400 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 18>it every day in practice. And that goes back to

0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:36.440
<v Speaker 18>somebody else's questions. Just getting prepared for the game. You know,

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:38.600
<v Speaker 18>we're not gonna see a lot of guys who are

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:40.960
<v Speaker 18>running out us downhill who are as shifty as him.

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:44.400
<v Speaker 18>So setting up our angles and stuff like that is

0:38:44.520 --> 0:38:46.439
<v Speaker 18>helping us a lot going against the more. But there's

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:50.880
<v Speaker 18>definitely a growing growing period there coming into camp and

0:38:51.400 --> 0:38:53.080
<v Speaker 18>Ota is all that stuff going against some more in

0:38:53.120 --> 0:38:55.320
<v Speaker 18>the open field, but kind of get to learn his

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:57.120
<v Speaker 18>tendencies this and that. It's easier for me to say

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.120
<v Speaker 18>because I see it every day. It's and I see

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:01.239
<v Speaker 18>why it's hard for other guys taggling on other teams.

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 17>Last You've come a long way in a short period

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 17>of time from your rookie year too, being in a

0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 17>Pro Bowl, all pro guy.

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.440
<v Speaker 3>What is that quicker progression done.

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:16.080
<v Speaker 17>For your confidence in your sense of belonging among the

0:39:16.200 --> 0:39:17.000
<v Speaker 17>best in the NFL.

0:39:17.920 --> 0:39:21.040
<v Speaker 18>Yeah, I don't think it's really changed my confidence per se.

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:25.560
<v Speaker 18>I think it's just more reassurance, you know, because I

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 18>always felt that I've had the ability to succeed at

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 18>a high level no matter what level I'm at, and

0:39:31.040 --> 0:39:32.960
<v Speaker 18>I try to stay the same person every single day,

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:34.640
<v Speaker 18>no matter what's going on around me. And I feel

0:39:34.680 --> 0:39:37.120
<v Speaker 18>like just all these accolades and stuff are cool and

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.319
<v Speaker 18>going to be cool to tell the grandkids one day.

0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 18>But at the same time, you know, we have a

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:43.440
<v Speaker 18>bigger goal in mine and for me, like I said,

0:39:43.480 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 18>it's just more reassurance and at the same time, it's

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 18>just more respect for my peers, and I think that's

0:39:48.480 --> 0:39:51.880
<v Speaker 18>very important as well. You know, no offense, but I

0:39:51.920 --> 0:39:54.640
<v Speaker 18>could really care less what media has to say about me,

0:39:54.719 --> 0:39:56.400
<v Speaker 18>what other people have to say about me outside of

0:39:56.880 --> 0:39:58.440
<v Speaker 18>my family and the ones who are close to me

0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:00.840
<v Speaker 18>in the building. And I feel like all that stuff,

0:40:00.920 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 18>you know, it comes with a certain level of respect

0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:04.759
<v Speaker 18>that the guys have for me, So I appreciate that.

0:40:07.640 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 1>In the locker room today, we also heard from several players,

0:40:10.040 --> 0:40:13.839
<v Speaker 1>So let's go to wide receiver or shot Bateman went

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:14.920
<v Speaker 1>into the APS Championship.

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 21>Uh, you know, same as every week, just you know,

0:40:18.200 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 21>continue to stay locked in and locked in on our

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.920
<v Speaker 21>details and you know, treated like every other week. But

0:40:24.040 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 21>you know, obviously there's you know, more at stake at

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 21>this game, so we just gotta go out and play

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:29.120
<v Speaker 21>a little more.

0:40:29.160 --> 0:40:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Talk about how to how to beat the champions. You guys,

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you got to beat the champions obviously, this is a

0:40:33.560 --> 0:40:36.279
<v Speaker 1>situation where the Chiefs have been previously. How does that

0:40:36.360 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>mindset kind of drive you guys at all during this week?

0:40:41.400 --> 0:40:43.920
<v Speaker 21>I mean, we all know what they're capable of, but

0:40:43.960 --> 0:40:45.520
<v Speaker 21>I think at this point we know what we're capable

0:40:45.520 --> 0:40:46.040
<v Speaker 21>of as well.

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.279
<v Speaker 5>I feel like it's more so you know about what

0:40:49.440 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 5>we do, not much about what they do.

0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:53.440
<v Speaker 21>We just go out and play our game like we

0:40:53.560 --> 0:40:56.120
<v Speaker 21>have been and you know, hopefully we see what's the

0:40:56.200 --> 0:40:56.880
<v Speaker 21>end resort after that.

0:40:58.800 --> 0:41:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Does the performance the second half last week kind of

0:41:01.320 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 1>give confidence a second carry over from week to week?

0:41:04.320 --> 0:41:06.000
<v Speaker 21>Yeah, I think we started out slow, but you know,

0:41:06.040 --> 0:41:07.880
<v Speaker 21>I think we uh picked up our pace. Uh, I

0:41:07.880 --> 0:41:10.080
<v Speaker 21>mean the second half. Uh, that's how we capable. Love

0:41:10.800 --> 0:41:13.360
<v Speaker 21>Lamar did a a good job of leading us in

0:41:13.440 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 21>the right direction a half time. So, uh, you know,

0:41:16.080 --> 0:41:17.480
<v Speaker 21>we just gotta come out and play fast, you know,

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:19.600
<v Speaker 21>accelllraating the middle in Phenishrouns.

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:24.400
<v Speaker 13>A couple of challenges Kansas City's defense present for your

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:26.360
<v Speaker 13>for your particular tiss Uh.

0:41:26.440 --> 0:41:28.640
<v Speaker 21>I mean I got a good secondary. I think it's

0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 21>probably one of the best, uh that we face.

0:41:30.400 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 5>All all season.

0:41:31.640 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:33.480
<v Speaker 21>You know it's a real, a real challenge. You know,

0:41:33.520 --> 0:41:36.600
<v Speaker 21>they played physical type coverage, so you know, we gotta

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 21>go out and make plays.

0:41:39.600 --> 0:41:42.120
<v Speaker 10>From an offensive standpoint the way that Kansas City can

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:46.080
<v Speaker 10>put up points and you know they're always uh dangerous

0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:48.280
<v Speaker 10>and you know dropped with dime mahomes.

0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 5>Can you know that offense can.

0:41:49.440 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Turn it around from an offensive standpoint from you.

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 10>For you guys, I mean, how critical is it to

0:41:54.040 --> 0:41:55.919
<v Speaker 10>to be on your a game and and be able

0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:58.040
<v Speaker 10>to to produce like you did in that second half

0:41:58.120 --> 0:41:58.720
<v Speaker 10>gainst Texas.

0:42:01.280 --> 0:42:03.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I think we can put up points as well.

0:42:03.320 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 21>They're not the only power for offense that's going to

0:42:06.200 --> 0:42:08.680
<v Speaker 21>work Sunday, So I guess we'll.

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:12.839
<v Speaker 5>See what could you describe this whole environment, the story game?

0:42:13.040 --> 0:42:15.200
<v Speaker 5>What do you expect from the fans this Sunday?

0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:16.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't know.

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 21>It's my it's my first time experience and something like

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:22.759
<v Speaker 21>this as long as I don't play this year or

0:42:23.000 --> 0:42:25.680
<v Speaker 21>you know, in general, so I know the bank will

0:42:25.719 --> 0:42:27.719
<v Speaker 21>be rocking like it always is, So you know, I'm

0:42:27.719 --> 0:42:28.480
<v Speaker 21>excited to play in it.

0:42:31.440 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 1>That was wide receiver Rashad Bateman. We also heard from

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 1>cornerback Brandon Stevens.

0:42:37.719 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 5>No, I mean it feels good man.

0:42:39.360 --> 0:42:39.480
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:42:40.120 --> 0:42:41.480
<v Speaker 22>You know a lot of teams which they could be

0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 22>in this position right now, so we definitely aren't taking

0:42:43.560 --> 0:42:47.040
<v Speaker 22>it for granted. But yeah, we're just focused on this game,

0:42:47.120 --> 0:42:49.840
<v Speaker 22>focused on one day at a time, you know, preparing

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 22>for this game.

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.360
<v Speaker 10>How hard is it to stay in the present mentally.

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:57.359
<v Speaker 10>You know, even Lamar said he's thought about the super Bowl,

0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.600
<v Speaker 10>but he's got us stay locked in on the championship game, right.

0:43:00.600 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 10>I mean it's human nature to look ahead a little bit,

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 10>and it's the super Bowl. How tough is it to

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:04.800
<v Speaker 10>stay in the president?

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.640
<v Speaker 22>Yeah obviously, Uh, you know it's hard not to to

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:10.840
<v Speaker 22>look ahead and see like, you know, what we're striving for,

0:43:11.040 --> 0:43:12.800
<v Speaker 22>you know what I mean. But you just gotta you know,

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:15.640
<v Speaker 22>bring it back t you know, to reality and you

0:43:15.719 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 22>know and understand that you know, this is the most

0:43:17.640 --> 0:43:22.280
<v Speaker 22>important game right now, and and you know, just preparing

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:24.120
<v Speaker 22>for this game, you know, and taking taking it like

0:43:24.160 --> 0:43:26.800
<v Speaker 22>I said, one day at a time, you know, f

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:30.680
<v Speaker 22>focusing up in the meetings, practice. But yeah, just just

0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:31.680
<v Speaker 22>coming back to reality.

0:43:32.000 --> 0:43:35.400
<v Speaker 13>We're gonna challenge you play it against Patrick Mahomes or

0:43:35.480 --> 0:43:36.759
<v Speaker 13>what's what's the match up?

0:43:36.840 --> 0:43:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Like, what's what feels different about kind.

0:43:39.560 --> 0:43:42.360
<v Speaker 5>Of going hip, going under center and and being prepared

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:43.040
<v Speaker 5>for what he could?

0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:46.239
<v Speaker 14>Uh.

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 22>I mean he's a great quarterback, you know, uh, regardless

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:53.480
<v Speaker 22>if he's under center and in the gun. But you know,

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:55.800
<v Speaker 22>we like like I like I said, we just you know,

0:43:56.040 --> 0:44:00.560
<v Speaker 22>come stick to the game plan. Continue to you know,

<v Speaker 22>just going against you know Lamar or uh or snoop.

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:13.160

0:46:13.200 --> 0:46:14.840
<v Speaker 22>you know what I mean, not not giving a a

0:46:14.960 --> 0:46:17.560

0:46:17.960 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 12>Uh.

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:21.280

<v Speaker 22>you know, through our training camp, uh mini camp.

0:46:23.440 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's uh, we're we're we're really just used

0:46:25.960 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 5>to it.

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.920
<v Speaker 10>You know, were any when you figure guys losses this season,

0:46:29.000 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 10>you've been vocal about it and kind of self inflected.

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Wounds in those games you can have.

0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 1>Is it in that a confidence whouster up?

0:46:35.040 --> 0:46:35.239
<v Speaker 22>Really?

0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:38.799
<v Speaker 19>No team has truly just come out and guys kind

0:46:38.800 --> 0:46:42.080
<v Speaker 19>of an a combination with things happening the feed girlses.

0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:45.719
<v Speaker 22>Like you pay Yeah, Uh, I mean honestly, we those

0:46:45.760 --> 0:46:48.879
<v Speaker 22>losses don't mean anything right now, you know. Uh yeah,

0:46:48.920 --> 0:46:51.239
<v Speaker 22>we're not even thinking about that, you know, but we know,

0:46:51.760 --> 0:46:53.960
<v Speaker 22>you know, we know where we've given up big plays

0:46:54.040 --> 0:46:57.000
<v Speaker 22>or whatnot. And I I mean the key to every

0:46:57.360 --> 0:46:59.640
<v Speaker 22>every week, uh, every week every victory is you know,

0:46:59.760 --> 0:47:04.400
<v Speaker 22>limit explosive and big plays. So U yeah, we eliminate that,

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:05.800
<v Speaker 22>you know, we'll be in good shape.

0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.759
<v Speaker 3>John was very complimentary of big coverage last game.

0:47:08.840 --> 0:47:11.879
<v Speaker 13>Obviously didn't let Houston inside twenty five.

0:47:12.520 --> 0:47:15.319
<v Speaker 3>What the confidences that get you going into a week

0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:15.640
<v Speaker 3>like this?

0:47:16.760 --> 0:47:18.839

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:21.600
<v Speaker 22>Uh, you know, no matter what we did the previous week,

0:47:22.680 --> 0:47:24.040
<v Speaker 22>you know, it was it was good to get back

0:47:24.080 --> 0:47:27.719
