<v Speaker 2>Yeah, today's got an omens.

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, we had to stomach issue sometimes, so we

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 3>kept him on the days.

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Just you get background, the.

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 5>Fasts, time being able to get out here, most things.

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 5>First time here.

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 3>You know a lot of a lot of the rookies

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 3>kind of commented out how great the stadium is. You know,

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>the fans excitement cheered, very play.

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Came out and then just fell him.

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 6>You're gonna talk to buy him.

0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>It's gonna get him out here to get an understanding

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 2>what the staateum is like just.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 4>A little bit John, how much rest, great days and

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 4>a lot of their fortunate.

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of heat. How much do you look at.

0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.120
<v Speaker 4>That and how players work through that and the inters

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 4>how they held out fundamentally, right, when you look at

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:35.560
<v Speaker 4>it hard.

0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.600
<v Speaker 3>And the heat, how they hold up fundamentally and sign

0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 3>the rise. It's an opportunity of fatigue, do you call them?

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 3>So when you get fatigue, take the opportunity to create

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 3>the ability to produce in that fatigue and get your

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 3>performance to the highest level with you the most hired.

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Plus there's elements and conditions that only are benefits to us.

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 3>So hop the guys did a really good job of it.

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 3>And see it looks like next week, how don't you can.

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Get to who best day in him to.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Make him play especially the turf. We're seeing him find

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>out a comfort zone.

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Starting that, right, I mean, I.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:10.919
<v Speaker 3>Think Odell's got a really good plan and he did.

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 2>He had a nice day to day. He lets go

0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>better every day. He's he looked great out here.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I expect nothing. But but you know in classical o

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.519
<v Speaker 3>y'ell Beckham junior, you know he's uh, he's a hard worker,

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 3>he's very conscient what he does, so I have.

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>No concerns about that at all.

0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>He looked good in what do you think of the

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>defensive line? They're pretty good dropped in to day.

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I know they're not the pads like don't get after.

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 3>Day today, Warrior defensive line is gonna be mad because

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 3>all the cheers after the places that get made when

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 3>they might have thought the head of sack right, Let's

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>see how practice goes.

0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>So I'll be hearing about that tonight.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.320
<v Speaker 1>That was head coach John Harball after practice on Saturday

0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>at Mt Bank Stadium. We also had a chance to

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>hear from a quarterback, Lamar Jackson. You can tell he's

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 1>fired up about some of his new weapons, including Odell

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Beckham Junior, who he threw a touchdown pass to in

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Saturday's practice. Here's what Lamar had to say.

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I love the crowd atmosphere. I love being I help

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 2>my teammates. I was just talking to NFL Network and

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>they was telling me I haven't been out here since

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>December four and I'm like, that's a long time. And

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 2>it was very cold today, it was very hot, but

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyedan I enjoyed it a lot.

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 6>Work can you get in assessment where you guys think

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.919
<v Speaker 6>you are right now or where you think you want

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.359
<v Speaker 6>to be, you know, I mean with the whole whole

0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 6>new system coming in, I feel like, you know, we've

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 6>been installing every day except for the day, but actually.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>We did installed today. But I feel like we're moving

0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>along in the right direction. We're processing everything fast and

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>our guys, I feel like our guys ready. Everyone has

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 2>something to prove, and that connection with OBJ looks like

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>it's already there. That's I feel pretty good done it. Yeah,

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I feel awesome.

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 4>Mom.

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.320
<v Speaker 2>He makes my job a lot easier. You know, Obj,

0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 2>it's the guy.

0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 1>It's that guy than the touchdown you through to him

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.400
<v Speaker 1>in that front corner of the end zone. Take me

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>through that play.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh you know it's a play action play fake to

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.040
<v Speaker 2>the running back roll out. He was just hauling tail,

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, across the field and I just gave it

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a touch past. I seen Kyle Hamilton, you know under

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>uh great safety by the way. I had to just

0:04:03.000 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 2>throw the ball over it over him and you know

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>what Dall did the rest.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>You and Mark Andrews have talked like for years about

0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the street ball connection that you have and see like

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that was You're kind of directing him on that play.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that plenty of times in games. Is that

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>just kind of backyard football right there?

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh?

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>You know, man, Mark got that great connection man, like

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 2>we always do. You know, ever since our rookie season, uh,

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.960
<v Speaker 2>going back to charges game. You know, it's always been

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the same same thing. You know, that's my boy, and

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>we gonna make things happen on the field. You know

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>that people never seen before.

0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:28.920
<v Speaker 7>Well, mam, we're.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.719
<v Speaker 2>Usually talking to players about, uh, how they're watching, fans

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.400
<v Speaker 2>and kids in the rock when they see you come

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 2>on the field. What's it like for you when you

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>see Odell Beckham come out there and they're going just

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>as great as nowadays? I love it. I'm I'm happy

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>to see him out done. FA I just don't scream,

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>you know, screaming in the inside. You know, I'm streaming

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:45.599

<v Speaker 1>Of my my mom.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I tell him, like, man, that's that guy. I mean,

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 2>we got, you know, one of the the best receivers

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in the game, you know, future Hall of Famer and

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm just glad he's here. I got to ask me

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>if on.

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 5>Wednesday, but would you have any interest in doing that?

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:57.160
<v Speaker 6>Netflix?

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback series. Nas Oh, you know, actually definitely, you know,

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>reached out to me before. But you know, I appreciate him,

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, but you know, I'm just trying to focus

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 2>on ball right now, you know what, I'm trying to

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 2>focus on ball.

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm curious what you think of the jerseys, the practice

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 5>jerseys of the golden trim around the number.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:12.600
<v Speaker 1>What do you think?

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I love it?

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 4>Ryan.

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 2>We need to talk to missus Steven about making those

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.800
<v Speaker 2>game jersys and you need to be out there on

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>that field with him. You know, I love it though,

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>On the defensive side of the ball. We also talk

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>with linebacker Roquan Smith. He's a leader of this defense

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's really setting the tone and he's confident about

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>this defense, which he talked about on Saturday. What's up?

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>How's the intensity to go up? When you when you

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:40.840
<v Speaker 1>step in the state practice.

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 4>It's a little different feeling for sure. Like when I

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.720
<v Speaker 4>got off the bus, like I come in with my

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.920
<v Speaker 4>headphones on, I'm like, oh man, Like I had to

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.240
<v Speaker 4>remind myself we just practicing for a second. I come

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 4>through the locker room and whatnot. But it's definitely sweetened then,

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 4>you know, It's always good seeing the fans out in

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 4>the stadium. You know, love seeing those guys here. Those

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:58.360
<v Speaker 4>guys are always coming with a lot of passions, so

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 4>have a lot of respect for that and just you know,

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 4>still excited to be here and still excited to put

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 4>on opening day for them as well.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's been really hot these past few days.

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:09.760
<v Speaker 1>How does that affect the whether you're able to practice,

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the tempo, everything that goes into it.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Oh, definitely definitely affects you. But it's mental at the

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:17.480
<v Speaker 4>end of the day. Definitely is definitely draining for sure,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 4>but it's just repairing us for the season. We're building

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.559
<v Speaker 4>up our cardio, getting our legs right with a lactic

0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 4>acid as well. So I'm excited. I think the heat

0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 4>is a good thing and as long as we just

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 4>stand hydrated, taking care of ourselves and everything will be good.

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 4>It'll pay dividends for us in a long haul.

0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 6>Rocal communication has been something that PEQ said.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Marcus Williams said earlier this week.

0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 6>How big was that something that you guys worked on

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 6>this offseason.

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's huge. Always been on the same page, even

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 4>if you're wrong, you know, if we're all all eleven

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 4>or wrong doing the same thing, then likelihood will still

0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 4>be all right if you ask me so. It's critical

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.880
<v Speaker 4>in this defense as long as you communicate, that solves

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot of problems. And just knowing where someone else

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 4>is each and every given play gives you a lot

0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 4>of confidence as well. Communication breeze confidence. In my opinion, mean,

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:08.720
<v Speaker 4>what have you seen? I feel like just since we've

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 4>been out here, since we got the camp, uh since

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.080
<v Speaker 4>Ota is honestly just how everyone is so eager to

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 4>just be together, bust our tails day in and day out,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 4>and just come out and just find ways to get better.

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>There's no player looking at it as like, oh, I'm

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.240
<v Speaker 4>too good for this, I'm too good for that. We're

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 4>all like in here each and every day busting our tails,

0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 4>trying to get better, trying to find little things to

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.400
<v Speaker 4>improve on, and I feel like we continue at that rate.

0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 4>The skuy's the limit for us, and I don't feel

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 4>like we have I've said it before, I'll set it again.

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't feel like we have any weaknesses on defense,

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 4>and we just can't get complacent and do our jobs

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 4>to the best of our ability.

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>And then I think the sky's the limits.

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.120
<v Speaker 1>One of the newcomers to the team this year is

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>running back Melvin Gordon. Team signed him early in training

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>camp and he's added to a really talented running back mix.

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Now this is a veteran running back who's been a

0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Pro Bowl player in his career, and he talked about

0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>landing here in Baltimore here.

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 7>With Melvin Gordon.

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 5>Just Melvin, just what led you to joining the Ravens

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 5>and why did you make decisions come here?

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Uh?

0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 7>This good organization and uh, you know, they they wanted

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 7>me to be here, so you know, it's nothing better

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 7>than them being in the locker room. But uh, you

0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 7>know people in an organization that want you to be.

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.560
<v Speaker 5>There, right And obviously you know, the Ravens have a

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 5>lot of other good running backs, Gus and JK and guys.

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 5>I mean, just what do you feel like you're kind

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 5>of bringing to this running back room to compliment those guys?

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 7>Uh, just you know, just I don't know another is

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 7>supposed to play maker. Uh you know, I'm just waiting

0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 7>on my opportunity. And you know, those guys kind of

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:43.079
<v Speaker 7>got there. Uh you know, they're kind of establishing this

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 7>in this organization, and uh, you know, they got drafted

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 7>here they've been here for you know, four plus, I

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 7>think four plus hears everybody here. So you know, being

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:55.679
<v Speaker 7>a new guy, Uh, you know, you just gotta you

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.839
<v Speaker 7>gotta take you know, each and every opportunity for what

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.839
<v Speaker 7>is worth and and make the best of it. And

0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.959
<v Speaker 7>and when I get the ball in my hands and

0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 7>I get to do my thing, I just gotta I

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 7>gotta show them while I'm still valuable.

0:09:08.559 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>So we'll talk about establishment.

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 5>You're a pro Bowl running back.

0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.839
<v Speaker 7>You know, what do you want to prove to people?

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, after your last year in Denver?

0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:17.719
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I still got it. You know that I just

0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.280
<v Speaker 7>was in a bad situation. And uh, you know, I'm

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:23.080
<v Speaker 7>sure it's a lot of guys that's over there right

0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.240
<v Speaker 7>now thinking the same thing that I'm thinking. Like, you know,

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 7>people do a lot of dirt, kick them when they

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:32.280
<v Speaker 7>were down and disrespected and disrespected their name, and it's

0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:33.080
<v Speaker 7>just a lot to prove.

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:33.439
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.199
<v Speaker 7>I'm just in a different color now. Some of those

0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:36.920
<v Speaker 7>guys get to do it in those jerseys over there

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 7>in Denver. Uh you know, So you know, I'm happy

0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.599
<v Speaker 7>that you know, most of the guys that that you

0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.439
<v Speaker 7>know didn't have the years that we wanted due to

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 7>a bad situation, got another opportunity. Uh, just to show

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 7>the world. And and really that's that's all you can

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:50.880
<v Speaker 7>ask for.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.400
<v Speaker 5>You know, there's a lot of free agent running backs

0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 5>still out there. You know, what does it feel like

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.400
<v Speaker 5>for you that the Ravens came out and got you?

0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.720
<v Speaker 7>You know, it feels good, man. I mean, I'm honestly

0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 7>blood Uh, you know, nothing to complain about with anything

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 7>when it comes to this. You know, I'm happy that

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 7>I get to put on the jersey and represent, you know,

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.719
<v Speaker 7>an organization. You know, I'm excited because I could be

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 7>at home and be wondering what I'm what I'm gonna

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 7>do next, you know, and I have some things lined up,

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 7>but it's just you know, I'm I'm not ready to

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 7>get my dream up right now. And like I said,

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 7>I think I was supposed to be over here, I

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.360
<v Speaker 7>think two years ago. But you know I'm here now,

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 7>and uh, you know, they gave me opportunity and and

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 7>uh and they believed in me, and I want to,

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:35.959
<v Speaker 7>you know, I want to. I want to do my

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.240
<v Speaker 7>best and show them why you know, they made.

0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:39.000
<v Speaker 2>The right decision to bring me.

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm curious what happened two years ago. How close were

0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:46.079
<v Speaker 5>you to becoming your raven back then? That's close.

0:10:46.240 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>That was really close.

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:48.679
<v Speaker 7>People don't even know.

0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, everything worked out for a reason exactly here now.
