1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings. We are

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: psyched to have wide receiver Nelson Aguilor talking to us today.

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: So we'll start here. Nicknamed Nelly, everybody, everybody calls you Nelly.

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Yeah right, all right. So I don't know if you

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: know that Nelly has a little history with the Ravens

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,439
Speaker 1: because ray Lewis, you know, came out to Hot in

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: Here as intro did the whole ray Lewis. I'm sure

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: you've seen it, the ray Lewis dance that was to

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Nelly's Hot in Here. So the question is, since you're Nelly,

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna come out of the tunnel to hot

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: in Here either ray Lewis the whole thing.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think i'd probably pick a different one.

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, did you like Nelly? Are you a

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Nelly guy?

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah?

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Okay, not not enthusiastic though, just kind of like, yeah,

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: all right? Have you always gone by Nelly? Give us

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: we gotta know the whole full backstory.

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 3: I mean I think it just started as a kid. Yeah,

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 3: my mom said it, everybody said it.

21
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well there you go.

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 4: All right, Well, if you need to come out to

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 4: you know Raylos's dance. I'm sure he could let you

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: borrow it.

25
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 1: Are you sure about that? Yeah, you can do sure

26
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 1: about that?

27
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe. So what do you think so far of

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 4: life in Baltimore and being a member of this team.

29
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: I love it. It's been it's been awesome. It's been

30
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 3: real cool. I mean the word to describe it as

31
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 3: a family. You know, it feels right and it's family.

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: What makes it makes it feel that way?

33
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean it starts with the head ball coach.

34
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, he everything he does he does from

35
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 3: a place of love, and you know, you feel it.

36
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: You feel the family atmosphere and you know, I mean

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: quarterback family kind of guy.

38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: You know, offensive linement and clothes while receivers are close and.

39
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: You just feel like the family atmosphere is one of

40
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: the reasons why we got a shot.

41
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: That is that why? Like, had you heard that before

42
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: you came here? And did that play a role in

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: you coming here?

44
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 3: Well, a role of me coming here was people that

45
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 3: are like family to me were already here.

46
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: On the coaching staff.

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean T Martin was my college coach who

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: taught me a lot, you know. Keith Williams, coach Dub.

49
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: You know, I call him Unk. Even before I got here,

50
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: I've been working with Dub for some years now. So

51
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: of my best years in this league was through him.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 3: You know, talking to me through my tape helped me

53
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: prepare for who I was going against things like that. So,

54
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 3: I mean, and then you know g Lou you know

55
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: coach Lewis, who was my receiver coach my second year,

56
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: you know, helped me out so much, you know, confidence

57
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: wise and just you know, just relationship wise.

58
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: Right.

59
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: And yeah, also earlier we were walking in here, I

60
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: tell you about you know, George Gatzi, his brother was

61
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 3: my quarterback coach in high school. Crazy, So it doesn't

62
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: stop there. Willie Taggart coached in Tampa, Florida, and my

63
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: parents had a house a couple of houses down from

64
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 3: WILLI tag So it's pretty cool.

65
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: That is crazy.

66
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 4: So when you you know, when you get here and

67
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 4: you you talk about the family piece, I'm curious, like,

68
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 4: and this isn't intended to throw shade on any other

69
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 4: place that you've been, but you've been at different organizations,

70
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 4: but you feel like the family atmosphere here is something

71
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: special and unique is that you know, compared to where

72
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: you've been, and you know a lot of times, a

73
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 4: lot of times guys come here in this world you.

74
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 2: Have to compare it.

75
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: It's just like where I am in my life right now,

76
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: it's the most glaring thing. It's the family and the

77
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: love aspect. I mean, it doesn't matter about anywhere else.

78
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: It's just when I got here, it felt right. I

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 3: felt that home, I felt myself, and just being able

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 3: to just play fast and be at peace and and

81
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: put worry to the side is a beautiful thing.

82
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 4: That's awesome. I mean, when you talk to reporters last week,

83
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 4: you talked about that your focus is to be a

84
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: good teammate, and like you just said that over and

85
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: over again. You just kept coming back to that, like,

86
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: my focus is to be a good teammate. And I

87
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 4: got to believe in hearing you talk right now that

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: like part of the reason is that, like when you

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 4: feel like you're in this family atmosphere, everybody does their part,

90
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 4: and you just feel like your role and your responsibility

91
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 4: is take care of being a good teammate first, and

92
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: then everything else takes care of itself.

93
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 2: I think we've all we're all in this league for

94
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: a reason.

95
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: We're all capable doing your job and being a quality

96
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: teammate and being a part of something bigger than you

97
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: is what gets you the ultimate prize, you know, And

98
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: I've been there, right, I've been there before, and I

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: know that, you know, putting my head down and just

100
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 3: working and just you know, taking advantage of what comes

101
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 3: to you is what puts you in position and be

102
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: productive towards that end goal. And that's part of being

103
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 3: a good teammate. You know, you don't sit here and

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 3: you don't count anything. You just take what's given to

105
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: you and you just work every day. And that's the

106
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: reality of this business and success for a really good team.

107
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: Well, you've been taking advantage of all your opportunities and practice.

108
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: It seems like you've been balling out out there and

109
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: it's been all summer long. It seems like you and

110
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: Lamar just have really good chemistry already, you know, which

111
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: with a new target you would think, all right, this

112
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: takes a little time to develop, like the back shoulder stuff. Especially,

113
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: he knows how to put it up. You know where

114
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: you can. You're the only one that's gonna get it.

115
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 4: Yesterday's practice was the perfect It's time again.

116
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: It's been the back shoulder leaping catch that you've made

117
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: a dozen times. It feels like in practice, what is

118
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: it about your chemistry? How did that develop?

119
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, it has a lot to do

120
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: with how he communicates, you know, his placement on.

121
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: The ball, and then you know, I just I trust,

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: I trust it.

123
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 3: It hasn't been perfect out there because I missed some,

124
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: but I truly trusted, you know, and even when I

125
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: missed something, I trust it because I'm like, that was

126
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 3: pretty unique that it got to me.

127
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't prepared, but as soon as I flashed,

128
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: it was there.

129
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 3: And it's like, I'm happy because if it's something that

130
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: I can master and have the same you know, you know,

131
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 3: communication with him and be on the same page with him,

132
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 3: it adds to my ability to go vertical because a

133
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: lot of people, if you're a fast guy, they start

134
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 3: playing you over the top. So you go speed releasing

135
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: and guy tries to like stack you or a guy

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: and not even stack your guy tries to like, you know,

137
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 3: play over the top and cut you off. You're still

138
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: not covered. If you and the quarterback have understanding of

139
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 3: where he's now going to place.

140
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: The ball right, if he can throw that back shoulder.

141
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: If you got that, then the vertical threat is that

142
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: much more dangerous.

143
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: Because now people play you low hit and you can

144
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 3: stack him and you can run by him.

145
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: So I'm be honest.

146
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: With you, he's really good at that, and I'm super

147
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 3: happy he's actually helped me get better at that, because

148
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that's always been my game.

149
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: There's something that I've drown to and adapted to doing here.

150
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Now, has elevating been part of your game always? I mean, like,

151
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: I know Obj's got some ups he's sharing that in

152
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: his career. You've got I don't know if you got

153
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the biggest ups on team, but it's up there.

154
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I've always been able to jump, but I'm

155
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: not gonna lie. I don't think I've always just jumped

156
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 3: all the time. Yeah, yeah, Okay, I want to I

157
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: want to give credit to my my A team back

158
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: in Tampa, Okay, because my kids. I was in the

00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: and I'm practicing with them and I'm dunking all the time,

161
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: and it's like I got my legs back somehow, and

162
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, I like jumping all the time,

163
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: even more than running downfield. I like just jumping on

164
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: that's funny.

165
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Well, that's yeah. I mean in my practice notes that

166
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I write up like so many times to be like

167
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Nelson and Agalore elevates for another catch. Like, so are

179
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: I love unselfish ball, you know. And then I got

180
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: really good point guards that play for me, and when

181
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: they make some passes or they make some decisions, I

182
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: love like being the one being like, hey, one more

183
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: pass like stuff like that. But I mean, those kids

184
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 3: are awesome, and they they're dual sports athletes. A lot

185
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: of guys that play for me, So it's kind of

186
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: cool to see them just do special things on the

187
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: basketball court. Because I know football season, they go and

188
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: cut it up in football too.

189
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: You kind of have like you you sound like a

190
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: coach the way you talk. You got some wisdom about you.

191
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: You got coach speak going. Yeah, you're channeling you talk

192
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: about unselfishness even with your team, and like, I feel

193
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 1: like that's gonna have to be part of the twenty

194
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: twenty three Ravens, right. I mean, like there's so many

195
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: ballers out there on offense and like so many targets

196
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: that Monk can call plays for the market, they're the

197
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: ball too, Like, how do you all kind of just

198
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: handle that when there's a lot of mouths defeat.

199
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: You gotta win. That's the only thing that matters.

200
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 3: Like, I mean, like you get into this like statistic

201
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: aspect of it because.

202
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: That's what people see. You know, everybody wants to get

203
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 2: paid and all that.

204
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 3: Well, I'm at the point of my career where I

205
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: want to win, and I think winning, you know, cures

206
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff.

207
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: You know, you can put yourself in a position to

208
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 2: get paid when you win.

209
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: Football games for us right now, man, you can put

210
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 3: quality things on tape without the ball coming to you.

211
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: You know, good routes, good discipline, you know, effort all that,

212
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: and you get evaluated that way. And if you just

213
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 3: do that, that's you controlling your aspect and the ball

214
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: finds you.

215
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 2: It finds you.

216
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: The quarterback's done a really good job of finding multiple

217
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 3: people and Lamar, you know, he's already made that very clear,

218
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: like I'm a fine I'm a fine guys. I'm gonna

219
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: get everybody going, and I think he's gonna do a

220
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 3: great job of that. We just got to just run hard,

221
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 3: get open, you know, and just show great effort with

222
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: or without the ball.

223
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 4: It's it's interesting hearing you talk about that because I

224
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 4: think a lot of times everyone knows receivers want the ball.

225
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 4: I mean that's like no secret, you know. I think

226
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 4: that that's sometimes viewed as a negative. But I mean

227
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 4: even monkn has talked about it, like I want receivers

228
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: who want the ball, Like that's what you want in

229
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: your guys. But there also is this unselfishness, this perspective

230
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: that you have about that, And is that something that

231
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 4: is kind of the mentality of this receiver group. Even

232
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: though you got all these new weapons, everyone wants the ball,

233
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 4: everyone wants a piece, But like there's this unselfish unselfishness

234
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: that permeates for that group.

235
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: You know.

236
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 3: My my explination is more about, like, hey, you know,

237
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 3: having the mature mentality of just focusing on you and

238
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 3: if the ball finds you.

239
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 2: It comes there.

240
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: If you truly want the ball, every route you run,

241
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: you'll run hard and when the ball finds you, you'll

242
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: maximize on that opportunity.

243
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

244
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 3: So I think that like without worrying about did it

245
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: come to me? My focus is on getting open with

246
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 3: or without the ball, whether I'm the first read or

247
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: the third read.

248
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: And that's what our coaches teach us.

249
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 3: You know, everybody's always said it to you, but you

250
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: have to remind yourself because at times when you get

251
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 3: all wounded up about ah, my target's my targets, I

252
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 3: ain't getting this, you start to cheat yourself on how

253
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 3: you run every route. You only think you gotta run

254
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: hard when you know the ball's coming to you. If

255
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: you had a complimentary route, are you going to run

256
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: that route hard? Because that'd be the route right there

257
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: that you know they come off of the main target

258
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 3: and go to the complimentary But you might have bes

259
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 3: that effort that effort on that route, and it's like,

260
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: it sucks sometimes when you think like that. And that's

261
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: from experience. I've learned from experience. I'm not just saying

262
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: that just like it's happened to me before. So I'm

263
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: at a place where it's like, hey, run hard, be

264
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 3: unselfish about the reality there's only one ball out there,

265
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: but be also intentional about getting open because when your

266
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: opportunities come here, and take advantage of it.

267
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 4: Yeah. I'm curious how you and l have kind of

268
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 4: meshed because when I hear both of you talk, there's

269
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: a lot of similar things that you talk about in

270
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: terms of like growth and maturation and your veteran players,

271
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: and you both come in here to a new place.

272
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: Like I feel like I'm like hoping that you are

273
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: speaking up and being a leader in the wide receiver

274
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: room because what you're saying, I'm like, I love all

275
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, Like you're telling this to the guys, right,

276
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: you know, Like I guess I'm like.

277
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 3: We communicate, Yeah, but we got great receiver coaches too. Yeah,

278
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: heah got two really special receiver coaches in there. And

279
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 3: then going back to what you just said about oh,

280
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: like oh, and I have a really good relationship because

281
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 3: I have so much respect for him, and I think

282
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: he's gained some respect for me by the way I

283
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 3: have practiced and prepared. I mean he's probably seen me

284
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: from Afar, but being near me, I think that there's

285
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: mutual respect because he knows that I truly love football.

286
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: You know, I love all sports, but I truly love football,

287
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: and I love like learning it. I love you know,

288
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: practicing it and preparing for it. So when I I

289
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: speak from a place of like, you know, the want

290
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: for it to be really really good, not like there's

291
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: nothing else about it, Like I'm not, I'm not perfect,

292
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 3: but I want for it to be really good.

293
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: So I know we have that respect, and I like

294
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: how he.

295
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: Approaches, you know, the mental aspect of the game, because

296
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 3: physically he's gifted. I've been more impressed with his mental approach.

297
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: And then the person. Yeah, that's the one I've been

298
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: most impressed with. Is the person.

299
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 3: For those that don't know the person, you you know what,

300
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: it's kind of interesting because you have to be somebody

301
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 3: close enough to him for him to show you the person.

302
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: And the person is you know, unselfish, humble, caring and

303
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,119
Speaker 3: just you know a competitor.

304
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: That's awesome.

305
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: You talked also about Lamar and his knowledge of the

306
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: game previously. When you've talked about this, what is it

307
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: that you've seen that fans don't see that really stands

308
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: out about that.

309
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if too many people understand that he

310
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 3: has a under like he has an understanding of how

311
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: he sees the game of football, and it's simple to him,

312
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: like he sees, you know, opportunities for ball placement, he

313
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 3: sees opportunities when you should give your eyes because he's

314
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 3: going to slice it through there.

315
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: He's going to get you in different voids and windows, and.

316
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: He's going to tell you that, let's say it happens

317
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 3: in practice and you didn't just automatically get it. He's

318
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: going to tell you like, look, I saw this right here,

319
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: and I need you to do this right here because.

320
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about these things.

321
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: And as a player, when the quarterback tells you something

322
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 3: like that, it would behoove you to pay attention because

323
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: those are his habits, his.

324
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Understanding, right, He's like, this is when I want to

325
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: see your eyes. Like at this point of the round,

326
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: he tells.

327
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 3: You that one time I would probably do that because

328
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: because that opportunity gonna come. Yeah, when if you don't

329
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: do that, you know you're not getting ready. But if

330
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: you do do that, you're gonna notice how like seamless,

331
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: the connection and the opportunities come because you're listening.

332
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 2: You're down in it and you're in his head.

333
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: Now he's explained to you how he sees things, so

334
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: now you're starting to do those things.

335
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: This receiver group is really interesting because you have five

336
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 4: former first round picks in the room right now, a

337
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 4: lot of talent in that room. And say Flowers, obviously

338
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 4: he's a first round pick and he's looked really good.

339
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm curious your impressions of him, but also in your

340
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: experience in the league as a first round pick, knowing

341
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 4: the pressure and the expectations that come along with it,

342
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 4: what kind of guidance you give to him is he

343
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: navigates all of that this rookie season.

344
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: The best part about you know, this season is there's

345
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 3: one goal in mind. You know, you know we can

346
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: underpromise and over deliver. We don't need to say like

347
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 3: this what it is, but for all thirty two teams,

348
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: it's one goal has to win, and he just happens

349
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: to be an electric player towards that goal, not about

350
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 3: him being a rookie or anything like that, because we

351
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: get into too much like everybody's hey, all right, what

352
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: are your rookie stats gonna be? Are you gonna be

353
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: a rookie of the year. Is he gonna be a

354
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 3: thousand yard Is he this? If he caught you know,

355
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: forty plus balls and had eight hundred yards and we

356
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 3: won a super Bowl?

357
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: He had a great rookie year.

358
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: Pretty good year for sure if you want to But if.

359
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: You want to say, oh, well he caught, he had thirteen.

360
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 3: Hundred yards and ten touchdowns, but we didn't win, you know, now,

361
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: it's just now you're talking about individualism again. I think

362
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: he if you told him which one would he take,

363
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: I think he would take the super Bowl.

364
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 2: And the numbers that came to Super Bowl. I don't know.

365
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 4: I know.

366
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: I would just mean if I want a super Bowl,

367
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: I want to Super on my third year, and I

368
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 3: was super grateful, you know, And the goal is that

369
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: for me, And that's just why in my life.

370
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: And I think he's gonna be amazing.

371
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: You're gonna see a lot of different ways he's used

372
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 3: and you're gonna see some electric plays from him, because

373
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: he's built like that. He's built to be like electric

374
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: and a game changer. It's in his personality, it's in

375
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 3: his skill set, you know, it's in his mindset too,

376
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: like he has a mindset of a game changing mindset,

377
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: you know.

378
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 2: And BS about that.

379
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, you've You've mentioned the super Bowl a couple of times,

380
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 4: and you won it with the Eagles in your third year, right,

381
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: you and maybe Justin Tucker are maybe the only two

382
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 4: guys on this team or Odell Odell of course, Odell

383
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 4: who've won a super Bowl? Do you feel any sort

384
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 4: of responsibility to impart what it takes to win a

385
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 4: super Bowl on this team?

386
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: Through habits? Through habits, and you know, the conversations I have,

387
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: I don't.

388
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 2: You know.

389
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 3: It's not about saying, hey, I have one listened to me.

390
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, like you know, when you have a

391
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: team capable, that's a reality.

392
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: Not every time season starts.

393
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 3: Do you look around and say, oh, I got that

394
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: kind of team.

395
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: You know, if you have a team capable.

396
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 4: You feel pretty good about this group.

397
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: I do.

398
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 3: And I think it comes down to habits, comes down

399
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: to relationships, It comes down to unseelfishness, you know, and

400
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: the work that's being put in.

401
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: Are those the biggest takeaways that you took from winning

402
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl? Like like, what were your things when

403
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: you're saying, oh man, this was the formula, this is

404
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: this is what it takes. What what was that?

405
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: It's definitely unselfishness.

406
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, and relationships on selfishness in relationships. And I'm not

407
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: just talking position and position relationships. I'm talking d lineman

408
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 3: like Chris Long and Brandon Graham reminded me every day

409
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: about the plays I'm gonna make.

410
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 2: And we're in week four or five.

411
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 3: You know, you're celebrating you know, you know six six

412
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 3: catch game or seven cash game or touchdown with me

413
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 3: or even like some I'm down, you know I didn't

414
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: do well that coming over to me and say, hey,

415
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 3: bounce back you're going to And then that week in

416
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: practice they're on me like yeah, yeah, yeah, Nellie, you're

417
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: gonna like the love that came from guys that weren't

418
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 3: even in my room is real. Or the battles with

419
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: the you know, nickel cornerback or outside cornerbacks, and the

420
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 3: conversation us in those dvs that year would always stay

421
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: after and do releases together, just always working to make

422
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: each other better because we knew it was about the

423
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: ponent we were going against. Right, we are already won

424
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: in practice, we compete, but we were preparing for whoever

425
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 3: we were going to go against. And that's what it is.

426
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: It's relationships, man, It's relationships. Relationships, relationships, man, and it's

427
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 3: cross position relationships, right, not just in your unit.

428
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: Right. So you went to Vegas afterwards and really had

429
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: I mean a monster year, eight hundred and ninety six yards,

430
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns and again, you know, we don't want to

431
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 1: go into individualism and status. I'm just saying it was

432
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: a really good year for you, like what you know,

433
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: and then the following two years in New England, we're

434
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: not as big as numbers kind of how do you

435
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: look back on those times and sort through that yourself?

436
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 3: I mean, just being honest, it's relationships that came with

437
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 3: one and then the other.

438
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 2: And I hate to be a guy that's, you know,

439
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: swayed by.

440
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 3: Love and comfort, but sometimes that is what it is

441
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 3: for me. Yeah, Like I had a lot of people

442
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 3: in the Vegas building that truly had love and respect

443
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: for me and poured that into me, and they started

444
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 3: with the head ball coach and John Gruden, you know,

445
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 3: Rich Passacia was there. You know, so many people that

446
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: just you know, they had so much confidence in me,

447
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: but also instilled more in me and just watched me

448
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: work and respected the way I worked. And it worked

449
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 3: out for me in that way that you know, I

450
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: felt right. Whatever I did, I felt right. Whether it

451
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: didn't work out great, I felt right.

452
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: So with your backstory, you have an interest backstory. First

Speaker 4: any connection with a Jabo in a way on the

456
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,920

Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Can you explain?

470
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: Just habits? It's respecting habits.

00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

475
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 1: I just talked to them for a story about this

476
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: to you guys, and they were saying, in the Nigerian household,

477
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: like the education aspect, your grades better be good before

478
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: football happens. Was that how it was for you growing up?

479
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 2: I mean I thought I was gonna be a doctor

480
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: or a lawyer growing up.

481
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm happy I could see that player.

482
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: But no, we take it seriously, very seriously. My dad

483
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,679
Speaker 3: is a super educated man. He's a smart man, and

484
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 3: you know he you know, he was always somebody to

485
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: remind us the importance education because you come back with.

486
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: School grades that weren't legit. Yeah, you know, don't worry

487
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: about fun.

488
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: Fun well, family too, it is another thing they really

489
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: you know, you've talked a lot about family like that

490
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: was a huge part of their culture and all that stuff.

491
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: So it seems like that's certainly part of you.

492
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 2: The Nigerian culture is based on family.

493
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably why I have the habit I have now

494
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: been comfortable when things feel like family.

495
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. So what was it like for you in high school?

496

503
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: But how'd you kind of handle that?

504
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 3: I won't give myself that much. I trusted. I trusted

544
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: ask you, like, what what do you think of Todd's

545
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: of Monk's offense?

546
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: It's offense. Yeah, it's good, it's electric. I mean, you know, he's.

547
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 3: A lot of verticals, but multiple like multiple cuts, you know,

548
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 3: off the vertical stem.

549
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: And that's a good thing about it.

550
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 3: Like you, you want to be able to use speed,

551
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 3: but you also want to be able to use your

552
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: change direction at the top. And you know, we use

553
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 3: condensed lists, We'll be spread out, We'll do a lot

554
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: of different things, and I'm happy that there's variety in

555
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 3: that aspect, right.

556
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: And and him as a dude, I mean, a different

557
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: voice than Manzi, but you know him as him as

558
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 1: a coach, what's he like?

559
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: He's a jokester. He's a good guy. Yeah, he's a

560
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 2: good guy. He means business, but he's a jokester.

561
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 3: And he comes from a really good place because I

562
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 3: think in his heart or heart, he understands that to

563
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 3: win football games, you have to have a professionalism about you,

564
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 3: to prepare like a pro and to perform like a pro.

565
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: And I respect them for that.

566
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 4: So your career is super interesting to me because when

567
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: I look at it like you've won a super Bowl

568
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 4: first round pick. You've had some highs, you've had some lows,

569
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 4: You've been in different places, and here you talk today

570
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 4: like that has all brought you perspective that you're caring

571
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 4: with you now, how have you handled the highs and

572
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: the lows of your career and how has that shaped you.

573
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 3: It's everything that's happened prior to this point has just

574
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: put me at a place of peace. Like I'm nine

575
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 3: years in I feel great, body is good, I'm happy.

576
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: Like if you told me I was gonna play nine

577
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 3: years in professional football league and be happy. Have speed,

578
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 3: have you know, good energy, have my health, you know,

579
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 3: made good money, and you knowing me at like want

580
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 3: a super Bowl that not all nine years were perfect statistically,

581
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: or you know early in your career people heckled you,

582
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 3: or whatever it may be. I would tell you, man,

583
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: I'll take where I am right now because of that, because.

584
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm stronger as a man.

585
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: I also have different tools, you know, to carry with

586
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 3: me to also teach young kids who will go through

587
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 3: the same thing. Because any experience I had isn't just

588
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: unique to me. It's the world of sports. You know,

589
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: you know, I think Kobe had a quote like you

590
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: know that that I listened to when I was younger,

591
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: and it was like, you know, don't take it so personal.

592
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: You know, he talked about like criticism and critics will

593
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: be here before you and after you.

594
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: Don't take it so personal. The game is an exempt,

595
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: like you cannot get rid of that. That is like

596
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: a part of it.

597
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 3: So if somebody had something to say to me because

598
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,880
Speaker 3: I didn't perform, it's reality, they have all the right

599
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 3: to It's when you take it so personally that you

600
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 3: forget to do your part, which is to get better

601
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: and to you know, fix that.

602
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: Error, make it right.

603
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 4: And did you have to learn that hundred percent?

604
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: I had to search every day because you sometimes work

605
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: so hard that if somebody was criticizing you, you put

606
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: your guard up and you forget to have the self

607
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: confidence to be self critical about the result.

608
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 2: Because what makes.

609
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: A great athlete a great athlete is being self critical.

610
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: But what some athletes forget is the aspect of self confidence.

611
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 3: You know, to be truly confident you can be self

612
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: critical is.

613
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 2: Like a very important thing.

614
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 3: Like I have great confidence in myself, so like if

615
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: something don't work well, I miss a ball and not

616
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 3: the best route.

617
00:28:58,040 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: I can say, I know that.

618
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: Tighten up, go fix that, next one, lock in, next one,

619
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: do this, next one.

620
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 2: Just speed. I'm alright with that.

621
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 3: Before if something didn't go well, before I even got

622
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 3: a chance to do this or do that, I would

623
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: if I heard something, I would now be fighting two things,

624
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: me preparing, but me guarding myself and my emotions.

625
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 2: And it's like, man, emotions are to the side. Sometimes

626
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: it's just.

627
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: You grinding to get better because your my emotional state

628
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: is peace and happiness, like, oh, I'm good, like playing

629
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: with house money, I'm good.

630
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: Well, it's a testament to you because some guys, a

631
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: lot of guys you know, go through early career struggles

632
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: and they don't come out of it right. It can

633
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: break some guys, even if they're high draft picks, especially

634
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: if they're high draft picks because of the pressure, you know.

635
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that speaks to you, So like, how

637
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: get through that? You know you talk about it was

638
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a learning process. How did you do that?

639
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: Keep fighting, I mean and putting yourself at peace to

640
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: to realize you're in control of like the effort aspect

641
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 3: of it and then the making the right aspect of it.

642
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,800

645
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,440

646
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 3: take it so personal like it's an attack on you.

647
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 3: It's just comes with the territory, and as a person,

652
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 3: isn't to, you know, tell somebody's opinion of me is wrong,

653
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: like hey, he's wrong or he shouldn't be saying that.

654
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: That's not my job.

655
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560

00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: It's just like, like, like I told him, I'm like, man, like,

689
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: I hope you're saying this stuff, yeah, in the in

690
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: the room, you know, because it just I feel like

691
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: he's got such a veteran's mindset and like it's such

692
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: a pro Yeah, he's an impressive dude.

693
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 4: Well, like honestly, and I said this to him, like

694
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 4: when I hear him and Odell talk, there's a lot

695
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 4: of similarities there, like in terms of life lessons, life

696
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 4: lessons in perspective and where like where football sits in

697
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: their life and how they've arrived here in Baltimore kind

698
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 4: of going through all of these highs and lows and

699
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 4: like what they want out of his team and what

700
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 4: they want out of an organization. Like, yeah, a lot

701
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 4: of similarities there. And I think that, like I think

702
00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 4: that's going to service team.

703
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, and it's certainly a bonus for

704
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: lack of a better word, that you have two Super

705
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: Bowl winners, two vetsuo have won a Super Bowl. Who

706
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 1: knows what it takes to do that. In the room

707
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: and you know along with all these other young guys. Yeah,

708
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: they're just great mentors for them and really the offense

709
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: as a whole, even for Lamar and even for a

710
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: bunch of guys, they can share some really great perspective

711
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: on what it takes to get there, because like to

712
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: your point, Justin Tucker is the only Raven on the

713
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: team that won back in twenty twelve, and so some

714
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: of those lessons I don't know if they need to

715
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: be imparted, but the Ravens over the years have lost

716
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: that kind of perspective gradually, and it's great to have

717
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: two guys who are going to be huge parts of

718
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 1: the team that can share that.

719
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: Well.

720
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting when I asked him about that,

721
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 4: and he made the point like it's through habits, Like

722
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 4: I impart that through habits, and like he's not necessarily

723
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: getting up there like this is what it's going to

724
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 4: take to win a Super Bowl and I've done this,

725
00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: but like you see the work ethic, and I mean

726
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 4: from a football standpoint too, Like I know he didn't

727
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 4: really want to get into stat projections or anything like that,

728
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 4: but like I mean, you said it, everything that we're

729
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 4: seeing from him in practice is really encouraging, and like

730
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: I recognize there's only one ball to go around, and

731
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: I don't know that he's going to lead the team

732
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 4: in receiving, which clearly is not like his biggest focus.

733
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: But I've said time and time again and I really

734
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 4: believe this, like he's gonna help his team win games

735
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 4: this year. There's gonna be plays. There's gonna be plays.

736
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 4: It's going to be you know, it's gonna be a

737
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: play in the fourth quarter where he hits a twenty

738
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 4: yard back shoulder down the field or he catches a

739
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 4: red zone touchdown, like that play is something that he

740
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 4: is bringing to this team. And then he still has

741
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 4: a speed threat. It's interesting that you hear.

742
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just that play like he's he's

743
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: caught balls all over the field.

744
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 4: It's I know of you like I know he's got

745
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 4: the speed and you kind of think of that, but

746
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 4: like he's not. That's not what he's been doing in practice.

747
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 4: It's been like that. That element is there, but it's

748
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 4: like a lot of these like back shoulder, crisp route running,

749
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: tough catches at times, Like I just I didn't when

750
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 4: I think about his game, I didn't think about that

751
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 4: element as much, and he's shown that in practice. So,

752
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 4: like I said, I think he's going to he's gonna

753
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 4: help us seem in some big ways this year.

754
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I have no idea how the whole

755
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 1: wide receiver production breakdown is gonna go I mean, like

756
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: all these guys have the talent. You know, we talk

757
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: about the five first round picks in the room right now.

758
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: You know they all have big time talent, right they

759
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 1: all can go off. I mean even just specifically the

760
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: top four guys. I mean you're talking about Odell, Nelson

761
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: Za and Rashat Bateman, Like any of those four guys

762
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 1: could just go off this h and So, Yeah, I

763
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: don't know how it's all gonna go down. But Nelson

764
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: Agalore I think has proven that. Yeah, I should we

765
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: should give him some targets, you know, like he's gonna,

766
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: to his point, maximize those opportunities. That's what it's all

767
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: about for these wide receivers. Are you going to maximize

768
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: your opportunity because there's a lot of mouths to feed.

769
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

770
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,720
Speaker 4: So, and I just I thought he had.

771
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: It's point though about the numbers. I thought the funny

772
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: thing was about Zay He's like, you know, if he

773
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: has eight hundred yards, like and we don't win, you know,

774
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: and we win the Super Bowl, like, that's a good year.

775
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, I mean if he has eight hundred

776
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: yards period, Like, that's pretty good rookie year. If that's it,

777
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: He's like, and then you know whatever, if he has

778
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and we don't win Super Bowl, it's not

779
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: as good. I'm like, if eight hundred is the floor,

780
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: sign me up.

781
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 4: Look, you just always back to the individual stats over here.

782
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, it is your fantasy world that we live in.

783
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 4: You are you're worried about? Yeah, honestly. And the last

784
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 4: thing I'll say about Nelson too, like I I you know,

785
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,439
Speaker 4: I appreciate his candor talking about the highs and lows

786
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 4: of his career. Sure, it's the guy came in first

787
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 4: Tron pick and had some well documented struggles in Philly

788
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: and you know, came out of that, ends up winning

789
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: a Super Bowl, ends up going to other teams and

790
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 4: have your career and yeah, like impressive, impressive guy. And

791
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 4: I've liked, you know, I've liked everything I've seen for

792
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 4: him so far.

793
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

794
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:12,760

801
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,400
Speaker 4: as well. Any other notes from you this week that

802
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 4: you kind of jump out to you, Well.

803
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: Since we lasted our takeaways, you know, the offense had

804
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: kind of a rough Saturday practice. Nine interceptions. Now part

805
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: of that was certainly because the script was kind of

806
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: against them. It was third and longs for much of practice,

807
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: and in that scenario the defense has they're licking their chops.

808
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: They have exactly what they want they can get after

809
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: the pass. They can send all kind of blitz as

810
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: they can, you know, whatever, they know a pass is coming,

811
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: and credit to the defense they capitalize. Nine interceptions. Obviously,

812
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: that's too many for the offense. You know, some of

813
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen, but nine's too many. And John Harwall

814
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: came back on Monday and said the offense was a

815
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,720
Speaker 1: lot crisper. He was really proud of them for practicing

816
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: with intentionality I think was his word.

817
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 4: No interceptions, zero.

818
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: Interceptions on Monday, and got hot in the red zone,

819
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 1: which obviously there's been a lot of focus on that

820
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 1: after the struggles last year in the red zone. So

821
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: good to see the offense have kind of a bounce

822
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: back performance and keep stacking. And really Lake Todd Munkin

823
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: has said, it's about trajectory. Are you consistently getting better.

824
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have blips, You're gonna have practices like Saturdays

825
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: every once in a while. You want to minimize those,

826
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: get back on track and head in the right direction.

827
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: And that's what we saw on Monday. Yeah.

828
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 4: The other thing that I'll be you know that is

829
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 4: a it's not necessarily a takeaway, but something I'm just

830
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 4: watching really closely is is the cornerback situation?

831
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 1: Are you gonna get me going?

832
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 4: Well, I know there's the number two cornerback situation. I

833
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 4: like with Rock you're seeing currently not on the field.

834
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 4: Hopefully he's back soon, as we know friends of the Lounge,

835
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 4: we hope he's back really soon. But it's opened the

836
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 4: door for Jalen Armor Davis and Brandon Stevens and those

837
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: guys are competing for a role there, and you know,

838
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 4: I think that they've had highs and lows. They've had

839
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 4: you know, up and down moments, and so you know,

840
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 4: I'll be watching those guys closely to see if, like

841
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 4: the Ravens feel confident going into let's just say, if

842
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: Rock were to if that were to linger, you know,

843
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 4: you go into the regular season, do you feel confident

844
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 4: in Jalen armor Davis starting a game for you if

845
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 4: you need him to. Do you feel confident Brandon Stevens?

846
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: You know, Seymour's had a really good camp. I mean

847
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 1: that would you know him being a starter would be

848
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: he'd have to really continue that. You know, he's primarily

849
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: been a special teams guy. But I'm not saying he can't.

850
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: He's had a good camp.

851
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, And so or do you feel like you need

852
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 4: to go and bring in somebody else? Not Like there's

853
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 4: a ton of started corners that are sitting out there

854
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 4: on the market right now at this point in the game.

855
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 4: But guys will shake loose probably as cuts happened, and

856
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: so the Ravens you know, surveyed the market there. But

857
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 4: anyway that that's really a position group that I think that,

858
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 4: like I am watching super closely in these practices.

859
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I thought Dennard Wilson brought up a

860
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: really good point about Jalen Armor Davis, which was he's

861
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: in position like he's yea, he is there, it's about

862
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: finishing now at this point for him, like locating the ball,

863
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: finishing the play. But that kind of echoes what I've

864
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: seen in practice is you know, he's there's been some

865
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: catches on him. That's gonna happen. That's that's how it

866
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: works for a corner cornerback. You know, you break up

867
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 1: fewer than than you allow generally speaking. But like I

868
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: think that he can run, he can run with I've

869
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: seen him run with Zay Deep, you know, like he's

870
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: got good size, He's in position like and he's so

871
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: early in his career after not playing a whole lot

872
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: last year, Like every practice for him matters a lot,

873
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: and I see him improving. You know, is he where

874
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: he needs to be right now in his career? Is

875
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: for me to say yes, sign me up Week one starter.

876
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: Jalen Armor Davis feel great about it, Like, no, he's

877
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: gonna have to keep progressing in training camp and in

878
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: preseason and all that stuff to give probably himself and

879
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: the coaches, you know, that kind of confidence that he

880
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: could be that guy. But I see the tools, and

881
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: I see the progression, and I see the work that

882
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: he's putting in. That gives me confidence that he can

883
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: get there.

884
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:10,919
Speaker 2: Well.

885
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: The word that he used and R. Wilson used was consistency. Yeah,

886
00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 4: just he needs consistency.

887
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: It's the name of the game at corner, yep.

888
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 4: And that's the one big, one, one play exactly.

889
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's the same for like tackles, you know,

890
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: offensive linement. It's about consistency. What's your technique? Play in

891
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: play out? Because you get exposed once and everybody sees it.

892
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 1: You give up that sack. You know, you give up

893
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: one sack of game. It's not a great season for

894
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: you as an offensive lineman. You give up one bomb,

895
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: one touchdown. As a corner, it ain't great. Yeah, So

896
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: it's gotta be dialed in.

897
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 4: I was, I was great for whatever ninety eight percent

898
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: of the snatch work like that.

899
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: Not a corner that would happened on that two percent.

900
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 4: Huh. Yeah, it does not matter at corner. So I'm

901
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 4: sure we're gonna get a heavy dose of Jalen in

902
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 4: the preseason and by the way, preseason game this week.

903
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,360

00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 4: I mentioned this earlier, but I want to circle back to.

924
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: That point exactly. So wrote a cover story on those

925
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,879
Speaker 1: two guys in their brotherhood obviously high school teammates, both

926
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:52,680

Speaker 1: but meet each other at Blair Academy in New Jersey

928
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: and then go on to team up in the pros.

929
00:42:57,239 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just an incredible story. And now you

Speaker 1: know the Justin Houston is in Carolina, the Ravens that

931
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: we've talked. How many times have we talked about the

932
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: possibility of reuniting with Justin Houston. It didn't happen, so

933
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: as it stands right now, and maybe another outside linebacker

934
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: could be at at some point, but there's a lot

935
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 1: of weight even if they do sign somebody, there's a

936
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 1: lot of weight on their shoulders to be two horses

937
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 1: in the Ravens pass rush. And so go back and

938
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: read that story if you haven't done so. And yeah,

939
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the potential news you guys have.

940
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 4: I am to I'm a great story and I'm excited

941
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 4: about their ability. I mean, they look they look good

942
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 4: in practice.

943
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: Yeah wait, oh, way, like.

944
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 4: I was feeling this way last year going into the season.

945
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,760
Speaker 4: I felt like he was really looked great all spring

946
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 4: and had a really good training camp. It didn't translate

947
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 4: during the season. I think he looks good once again.

948
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: I mean I think both those guys are living in

949
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 4: the backfield on a lot of these plays. Yes, and

950
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 4: you know so, the Ravens believe that part of the

951
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 4: reason they opted not to sign to Justin Houston or

952
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 4: somebody else is because they have confidence in those two players.

953
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: Ye.

954
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 4: And we're gonna get a chance to see it this year.

955
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, really excited. Well, thank you for listening, and we

956
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: will be back with you Friday. On Friday,
