WEBVTT - Zay Flowers & Todd Monken: Ravens Press Conferences 6/3/25 0:00:03.279 --> 0:00:06.560 Welcome into the Ravens Press Past Podcast. It is Tuesday, 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.879 June third, and today the Ravens held an open practice 0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.680 of organized team activities. After practice, we had a chance 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.360 to hear from offensive coordinator Tom Munkett. 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:21.400 I know it's week two about but as anything from 0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:25.080 that with DeAndre Hopkins, I know I probably see him 0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:28.080 throughout your career, but anything since he's been around here 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:29.200 that kind of stood out. 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.599 To you, Well, first of all, it's great having him here. 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.199 I think he's been really diligent, you know, not perfect, 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.640 but I think he's been diligent in what we do offensively. 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:43.640 You know, we're just trying to get him up to speed, 0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:44.280 but he's been great. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:46.479 Have you seen. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:53.199 Himself? Ted will on his side, I'm sure he is. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.280 I'm busy calling the place. I really don't know. I 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.760 think he's not trying to be an ass. I'm just 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:00.480 saying that. I don't know. I'm sure he is working 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.680 with the young guys. Uh. He's a great dude. I mean, 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.720 he really is a good person. He understands why we 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:10.720 brought him here, what we expect from him to be 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.640 an outstanding player. I just think that's his nature to 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.319 help those guys. Just what Lettle I've seen when he's 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.640 been around those guys, he just seems to interact with them, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:21.199 you know, at a really high level. 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.200 How do you go there's so many guys who can 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.800 you know, mark and throw the ball teams? How do 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.880 you go back anywhere to get another highly decorative, talented 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:37.160 guy and instead of what does he bring not in 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:40.080 that regard to getting into making what you guys are 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:40.360 looking for. 0:01:40.480 --> 0:01:43.600 Well, we'll see it stay four. But as I said 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.520 in another interview, I'd in the off season. I'd rather 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.280 have too much talent try to figure out how to 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:53.880 manage it, how to have everybody embrace their role, than 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.720 not have enough. So we love having another weapon. I 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:59.640 thought Nelly the last couple of years did a great 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.320 job for us as our third receiver. I don't really 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.520 see d Hop as a third receiver. I see him 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.840 more as we have three starters at wide receiver. But 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.960 we also haven't a too tight end. So it'll be 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.520 interesting as we get going, especially once we get to 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:15.440 camp and we get the pads on how we can 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.919 integrate him into the offense. But we're excited, he said, 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:19.400 how much. 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.080 He might be able to hope things up more than 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:25.200 eight flowers too, because he's a he's a different kind 0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:26.440 of receiver, different guy. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.200 And again, can't wait till we really get to go 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.720 full speed and get the pads on and really see it. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.880 You know, we're really we're not there yet. He's not 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.720 there yet, So can't wait to, uh to get there 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:39.720 and and really see what we got. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.359 What did you like about Cooper rushing the offseason and 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:44.400 kind of seeing him. 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.160 Out there today taking a lot of the. 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:49.880 You know, first three games. Yeah, again, it's he's a pro. 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:51.480 That's why he's made it in the NFL as law 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.600 as he has. That's why his record as a starter 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.120 is what it is, because it's not like those guys 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.280 get a lot of reps, you know. So when he's 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.720 had his opportunities, Uh, he's done an outstanding job, not 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.480 a good job, an outstanding job of winning football games. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.720 He knows where to go with the ball. He knows 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.680 his skill set. I mean, it's it's one thing to 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.560 have a skill set, it's either another to understand that 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.840 he's not Lamar. So he's got to know where to 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:23.320 go with the ball beyond time using his arm, talent, anticipation, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.040 with throws and uh, you know, being able to get 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.600 the ball out and get it to checkdowns. Sorry, with a. 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.359 Thousand yards slash year, they're kind of woking for him 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:37.040 to do. Make him to throw or the next step 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:37.800 to couch. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:42.440 Well, we just got to get him the ball more. 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.000 I mean, that's really it. The problem is we have 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:49.360 a lot of those guys like you know, he's he's 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.240 an unbelievable football player. You know, he's he's not only 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:57.320 an outside receiver that has elite route running skills, but 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.200 he's unbelievable with the ball in his hands. So you 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:03.600 have like a guy that fits two positions, really plays 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.800 two spots. Now, I'm not sure we're gonna use that 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.400 when it's contract negotiations that we see him as two players, 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.040 but I'm just saying that you can use him in 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:13.360 a variety of roles to get him the ball, which 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.360 allows your volume to go up. You know, he's a 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.560 volume catch guy. You can use him in novelty screens 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.200 getting him the ball down the field. So I expect 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.599 him to take another leap, you know, in terms of 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:29.600 you know, his consistency. But you know, when you make 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:32.839 it to the Pro Bowl or you're an all pro like, 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.440 you're pretty good, You're pretty good. 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.800 I don't know how you look at everything every own season? 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.479 Was there something kind of home getting on or about 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:46.240 people review or in particular area like the you. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.080 Know, the game as a whole, get a lot better 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.320 at great question. You know, when we started the off season, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.920 we had to really drill down into being specific intentional 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.320 of what those areas were, because if you just took 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.920 a broad scope or perspective, you'd say, well, we were 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.520 really good at that, we were really good at this, 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.120 we were really good at that area. We were really 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.440 good at this, and yet that wasn't always the case 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:12.960 in certain parts of what we did. So we just 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:16.320 really tried to drill down as to how the things 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.600 that we do, how do we do them better? How 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.840 do we function at a higher level. Obviously we started 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.719 to get the penalties cleaned up, how do we function 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.480 better at the line of scrimmage, from our operation to communication, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.960 and really hone in after looking at last year, what 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.480 our guys do really well? What is lamar like like, really, 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:39.000 that's that's really it? Why waste time? I felt like 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:41.479 we did that last year. I felt like we first 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:44.359 couple of games all the off season of what we did, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.920 we kind of wanted to see it and it wasn't 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.800 good enough. I mean it really wasn't. So who are 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:57.920 we really so we can come out of the gates fast. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:06:00.320 About the advantage having two tight ends to ends have 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.760 more than that which he works at Charlie. But just 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.440 the fact of what Mark and and say, how do 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.040 you think that worked out last year? And do you 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:10.400 think things can change with with what. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:11.000 You can do with that? 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.359 Well, it works out great because both of those guys, 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.320 first of all, they're good friends and they're selfless. Like 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:20.840 that's not easy, you know. I mean, I know we 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.159 played a lot of twelve personnel, but there's also you know, 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.400 when we go eleven personnel, one thems in the game. 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.960 And they're both very capable guys. So Coach Goats does 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:33.679 a great job every week of how do we rotate 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.600 those guys? Where do we have the targets aligned? So 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.560 those guys feel like they're getting their opportunities. So it 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.320 starts with them. I mean, they're the ones that make 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:48.920 that decision that you know, they're selfless, and I think 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.400 it gives us you know, first of all, I'm fired 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.920 up the back. They're all here, okay to run it 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.880 back with those guys. And you know, I see as 0:06:57.960 --> 0:06:59.680 very being very similar to last year in a lot 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.120 of ways, is because I think that's our best grouping Todd. 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.520 Coming into the season, it was so much going on 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.680 with the offensive line filling three different starter spots, the 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.679 fortunate passing coach d obviously DA made it a challenge 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.760 going into the season. How is that different now with 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.360 less moving parts along the offensive line going into this year? 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.720 Well, I mean, you'll have to ask those guys. I mean, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:26.640 what a great job you know, Trevelle did, Coach Warhop 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.200 did our players. You'll have to ask those guys, you know, really, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.080 because they're the ones that did it. They're the ones 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:35.480 that went out there, let alone the new starters, you know, 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.560 and those guys embracing their role. But that since I've 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.040 been hen even before I got here, it feels like 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:43.960 the next old lineman just steps up. That's why you 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.440 draft players, That's why you develop, That's why you hope 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.280 that over the years you're good enough to let those 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.840 guys develop and then when it's their time, be it 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.600 Daniel or hell, it took Patrick a little bit longer 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:55.760 you know, to get that opportunity. But even guys in 0:07:55.800 --> 0:07:58.400 the past, with Simpson and before I got here, powers 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:02.320 like let those guys continue to develop and have some 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.600 other guys there in the wings. But what a great 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.760 job that the coaches did and our players did of 0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.880 just you know, moving on. That's not easy, you know, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:16.160 a new voice, new players, But what a great job 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:16.560 they did. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.720 We saw six full start pailies going on cant it 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:21.880 might have been more than that today. 0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:23.960 Any idea of what's going on in terms of that 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.240 of sickness, and that was one of the things the 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:27.000 end of the last year. 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.119 I was conning on it's a lot more opially cleaning 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.000 up the penalties. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:35.080 Yeah, that's not very good. Now, Well, one thing I 0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:41.040 told the guys that what we can't do is, first 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:42.680 of all, we have a lot of guys repping. So 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.400 the more you rep guys, you know that it's going 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.319 to put an onus on a lot of different guys, right, 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:50.680 and some guys that, to be honest, probably won't be 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.160 playing for us. But that's a freaking excuse. Okay. The 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.400 reality is we can't give in to just go into 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.520 one cadence. That's an easy solution. The easy solutions will 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.000 go on one every time, right, blah blah blah blah 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.320 blah blah. Set hut. I mean, is that the best 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.760 way to do it. I'm not trying to be I'm 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.840 just being real with you. So we've got to work 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.920 it now. Now is the time for us to work 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.560 multiple cadence, right, because that was one of our things 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:15.320 in the off season. How do we get better at 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.680 multiple catenes without without jumping and flinching as much? For sure, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:22.040 it's disappointing. I watch it on his disappointed as as anybody. 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.520 But we're gonna continue to do it. We're gonna continue 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:28.120 to chart it. And the guys that continue to get penalties, 0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:29.520 they'll struggle to get on the field. 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.280 There's a chance that you guys go into this season 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:33.600 with a good chance that you guys go in the 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.760 season with a rookie kicker. Do you have any sense 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.160 yet as whether that might alter graduate or might be 0:09:40.200 --> 0:09:42.079 looking to be more assertive than some of that thirty 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.839 five forty five got a doubt. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.000 Not when they make everyone, I mean, heck, when those 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.040 I don't know which one's gonna be. But as long 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.280 as they make everyone and won't adjust anything. That's what 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.880 I'm counting on. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.200 We didn't see him out in the field today, but 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:59.120 are you and you're dealing with them, and when he's been. 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.800 In the building, are you feel good abouts had to 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:02.560 this point? 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.520 Yeah, I feel good. I always feel good about Lamar. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:10.120 He always comes in ready. You know that's I've never 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.400 felt like that when we've started camp or whenever he's 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:15.560 been here, that he's not ready. He loves to play football, 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.280 and he loves his teammates, he loves the Ravens. I mean, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.959 you know, I mean, I've never felt that way one 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.719 way or the other. You know about about his preparation. 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:27.679 He'll be ready to go and we'll be ready to 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:29.160 go against Buffalo come Sunday night. 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.400 And one of the guys a monk and talked about 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.600 his wide receiver, Zay Flowers. He was a Pro Bowler 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.800 in year two, but he is even bigger expectations going 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.360 into this season. And here's what Zay had to say 0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:46.760 during his time with the media. You have a Pro 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.280 Bowl season, you know what's next on the list for 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.680 you when you look at your aspirations for this season. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.760 I mean, to me, it just get better every year. 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:57.679 Do a little bit more than I did last year, 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.640 and as a team get furnther the than we did 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.840 last So, uh, that's that's kind of my goal. Do better, 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:04.800 just get better in every aspect of the game and 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.880 try to push for the ultimate goal. To su Bo, Yeah, 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:09.400 what has it been like? 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.959 You're trying a younger comport into adult at working with him? 0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:12.240 Uh? 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.760 He a real vet, like he know everything. He teach 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.160 you what he know, He give out the game and 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.400 he work hard too, so it's easy to just follow him. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.079 It's easy to get behind him and do what he do. 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.440 So he a great VET and he great for our group. 0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.680 From him that you wanna kind of add to your game, uh. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.280 He just he patiently everything he do.

So I've been learning that from him the 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:40.280 movies a long time. 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.120 Is there anything that he's been able any advice to 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:43.600 be able to give you or any other guys, It's 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:44.120 been hopeful. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.800 Just take care of your body. It's really been like 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.520 that with all my vets, Nelly, O'Dell d hot, they 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:51.680 all tell me the same thing, take care of your body. 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.240 And maybe I could play thirteen years like. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.520 Your group, I. 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.960 Say, more experience. I feel more like I can, I'm 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.160 more into the game, I'm more learning football. I learned 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.040 football a lot more than I did my rookie year, 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.920 and I just got a lot more experience on the field. 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.400 And understand is they just kind was the knee and 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.120 did you have to do anything to get to this 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.520 point just to make. 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.400 Sure you are ready for this? 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:16.920 Uh? 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.720 I mean I did a lot, but my kneed great. 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.400 I feel a hundred percent. I feel like I'm ready 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.960 to go, feel like I'm ready for the season, no limits. 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.760 So I'm good you spoke after. 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:27.640 With locker room clean out. 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:30.640 But just how tough was last season's ending knowing that 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.320 you had to watch January for that part of playoffs 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:33.920 on the sideline? 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.240 Uh? 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.800 Super tough. Cause when you play seventeen games just to 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.600 get to the first playoff game and you can't play 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.719 in it, it's always hard. So that was kind I 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.640 think that was my first time second time missing the 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.760 game ever, and it was missing a playoff game is 0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:48.800 is different, so it kind of felt a little different. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.840 So at least we get to play on first game 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:51.199 this year. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:53.439 So if you lingered it on. 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.760 You know, ever to miss a football game or or 0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:57.720 you just gonna. 0:12:57.480 --> 0:13:00.839 Flush it s think about Uh, I flushed it, to 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.280 be honest, like cause it's only I couldn't really do 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:05.839 nothing about it. It's like I was hurt. So I 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.720 just had to watch and helped the chair the guys 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.040 on and try to get to the next round. And 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.199 it feels possible. I woulda played day. 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.559 We got to the stars to the season last year 0:13:15.880 --> 0:13:17.120 and then you know this schedule. 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.600 Just a herd advocate as well. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.920 When you think about being ready and getting out to 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.080 a better start this year, what you kind of want. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.240 To see, especially your your positions. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:27.400 G get better. 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:32.000 I feel like my position group played solid last year, 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.199 if I'm being honest, So this year, I I I 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.080 want us to do the same thing. Just play hard 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.040 and do what we know what we can do so 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:39.920 and every time the ball come out a way, make 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.720 a play. So that's my expectations for the receiver group, 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.240 block and just help the team anyway we can. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.360 So's together with Lemarney off season helping you prepare for 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:50.120 the coming season. 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:50.920 Excuse me? 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.440 How is working with Lemarny off season help you prepare 0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:55.640 for the upcoming season? 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.679 It just get our time of down and things we 0:13:57.760 --> 0:13:59.720 wanted to work on during the season that we seen. 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:02.040 H we talk about on the field, like if we 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.800 running routes, He'll take you run it this way, or 0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:07.040 I like how you ran it this way. So it's 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:09.360 just really just talking a lot and detailing like the 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.079 small things that he that he wanna get down drop off. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.160 Like when you think of you've been close to your 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.319 two years, you have playoff teams, really contenders, but not 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:19.960 getting over with the hap y'all, see what do you 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.440 guys talk about to to get to the finish line? 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:23.680 Who those conversations? 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:25.880 H I. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.600 I feel like we we talk about a lot about 0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.880 beating ourselves, but on the field, we just play our games. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.120 So it's like we know we we know we were 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:35.640 we supposed to be and where we supposed to end 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:37.360 up at that the end of the year. So it's 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:39.480 really on us and we we we talk to ourselves. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.240 We talked to like ell all come in and talk 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.720 to us about meeting after like this year, he wanna 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.000 do a lot more me and he wanna do a 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.840 lot more team stuff. He wanna do a lot more 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.840 personal stuff with us, just to get that that team 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:51.640 karate on a good level. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.920 So Yan, you have a thousand yards season Pro Bowl? 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.640 Is there anything specifically, whether it's like statistic or anything 0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:01.160 that you're shooting for for? 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:01.480 Uh? 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:07.600 For yourself this year, do better than I did last year? 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:10.920 Everything top everything that I did last year. Or prove 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.360 everybody to say I can't whatever I can't do. Try 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.880 to prove everybody to show 'em I can do it, 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:17.440 or not proving them, just showing myself I can do it. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.200 Honestly say among those lines. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:22.160 I think we talked to you before last season and 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.640 you were hoping that you'd be a big part of 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.360 the downfield passing games, and you know, seemed like it 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:29.200 was more of a shot. But you still win for 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.320 a Pro Bowl season. Thus, w what is that kind 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.600 of kiddy confidence about how you can involved with what 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.520 you can be in this offense with even more downfield pargets. 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:39.120 It just showed me I could unlock a whole another 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.320 level of my game and I haven't unlocked it yet. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.080 So once we start hearing those downfield passes more, I 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.840 think it'll get up it. It'll be a lot more 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:47.960 explosive players between me and a shot. And now we 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.880 got d hops, so it should be three times three 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.280 times much real. 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:54.320 So I'm like football in your work person. 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.560 Uh, I don't I would played for real football. I'm 0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.240 just I just here to play my tackle football. I 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.240 ain't really hure about going to the Olympics. I'm trying 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:02.960 to warn the super Bowl. 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:06.640 She's also talk. 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.840 About how even at thirty two, he still kind of 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.640 has that speed out there. Yeah. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:12.680 Yeah, he trying to expose all of us. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:16.040 Yeah, but no, he's still him. 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.560 And it does he show like the speed that he's 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:19.480 kind of talking. 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:22.440 No, absolutely, he still play fast. He still play fast. 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.600 Everything he do fast, and like I said, like he 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.520 a true vet.
