WEBVTT - Jackson, Linderbaum & Washington: Ravens Press Conference 12/31/24

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Tuesday,

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.160
<v Speaker 1>December thirty first, and the Ravens are gearing up for

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>their huge game on Sunday. It's an AFC North showdown

0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:17.319
<v Speaker 1>between the Ravens and the Browns with the AFC North

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.439
<v Speaker 1>title on the line. Today, after practice, we had the

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to hear from quarterback Lamar Jackson, so.

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 2>There was for this MVP voting. There was no really

0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 2>debate over he's forty five yards passing away from his

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>first career four thousand passing season he has thrown. He

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 2>broke his own franchise record with thirty nine touchdown passes

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.519
<v Speaker 2>only four interceptions, by the way, and even though his

0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:50.040
<v Speaker 2>mother wanted him to run the ball more against the Eagles,

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 2>he still has run for over eight hundred and fifty

0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 2>yards for a fourth time, which is a Ravens record.

0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson was voted by the local media. It's the

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Ravens team MVP m job.

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Thank you guys. That means a lot.

0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh my home team, well, this is my second home

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.680
<v Speaker 4>right here, so home team media, uh man. I owe

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 4>it to my teammates and you guys. I appreciate you

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 4>all a lot definitely.

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 5>Morel that a touchdown pasted Isaiah. Likely seemed like the

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 5>Texans defenders worked sure if they should go after you

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 5>or stay back and coverage. You were just kind of

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 5>twaying with them like a cat mouse. Uh do you

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.800
<v Speaker 5>see like in their eyes, like you can read off

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 5>the eyes or is it just complete feel of the

0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 5>entire field of.

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Pr pretty much a pretty much a feel for the game.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Fifty five. I believe Hughes. I don't wanna get his

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 3>name on.

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 4>I believe Hughes, but he was, like I believe he

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 4>was doing the job, just trying to cut me off

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 4>and stuff like that from turning up.

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 4>I remember Mark going out of bounce, Zay say Files

0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 4>going out of bounce, and likely was just doing what

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 4>we wrik all the time, you know, scrambler drill. He

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 4>was two defenders on him, a corner in the linebacker,

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 4>I believe. And I'm just tryna get space away from

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 4>fifty five cause he was like a tall guy, and

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 4>I believe if you'd just pulled me, he probably would

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.079
<v Speaker 4>have sacked me or something like that. So I was

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.679
<v Speaker 4>just trying to stay far away, f f far away

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 4>from him. As I could but try to keep enough

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 4>balance to get to throw off. And that's just all

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:18.320
<v Speaker 4>it was.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 3>You know, Mark doesn't feel like it's uh lots of

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 3>Europe twenty thirty four, or.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 4>You don't really don't we feel like the season just

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:31.079
<v Speaker 4>getting started. Yeah, but yeah, Uh, New Year's Eve, New Year's.

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 6>Eve, man, I mean that stand outs uh to you

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 6>the most about twenty thirty four in your memory.

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 4>There's a lot of memory from twenty twenty four. I

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 4>don't think I have a standout. I don't. I don't

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 4>have a standout, man. There's been a lot of blessings.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:49.959
<v Speaker 4>I can't complain great Year's trap relation. Yeah, but i'm'a

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:55.359
<v Speaker 4>tryn to keep it to myself. Yeah, mor over the

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 4>year the last couple of years, do you study.

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 7>The film and other teams more or less about the

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:02.959
<v Speaker 7>same as you did earlier in your computer?

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 8>Oh?

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 3>The same?

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:04.640
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 4>It's like, you know, I'm I'm y, I'm seeing the

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 4>same things a lot, you know, Uh, different ways, Uh,

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 4>different teams, different opponents, different guys. You know, some guys

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 4>leave retired, some guys you know, enter the lead from college,

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 4>some guys on different teams, But it's pretty much the

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 4>same way, And it's not really like me just trying

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 4>to pinpoint them. It's me critiquing myself too, you know,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 4>from how they played me and how I can get

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 4>better for next time I play.

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.920
<v Speaker 7>But do you s get more out of study than

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 7>you used to?

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, can you yup?

0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 5>Yup?

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? Definitely. Uh.

0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 4>When I was younger, you know, it was like a

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>terminology thing, like just entering the league and tryna get

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 4>a feel for the terminology, the different terminology from college

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 4>and me being in my seventh year, a lot of

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 4>things slowed down and I'm I'm saying things that I

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 4>didn't see before.

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 8>Why.

0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.040
<v Speaker 9>I know you don't care about stats, but would it

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 9>be meaningful for you to finish with the best single

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 9>season quarterback creating ever?

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 4>If I'm if I'm on my childhood in my childhood

0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 4>mindset and breaking the record. Yeah, but I'm trying to

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 4>win the games, so it really don't matter. If it happens,

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 4>it happens, if it don't, probably would happen sometime down

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 4>a line.

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Almar.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 8>Since the byeweek, we've seen a big up taking the

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 8>pistol runs. H Before the BIE week, it was a

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 8>lot of under center runs and do.

0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 3>You notice that?

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 8>And uh, what what is k Have you noticed the

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 8>benefit that you guys have had out of running more

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 8>out of pistol?

0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 4>I I believe it's just the scheme versus teams that

0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 4>make us like change it up a bit.

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:31.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, we gotta keep it balance.

0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 4>We can't just go into a game, a NFL game

0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 4>with that and just do the same thing from probably weed.

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, like teams are probably pinpoint, Oh they doing

0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 4>this when they do this, when they line up like this,

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 4>they doing this. It's only a couple of outside of

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.919
<v Speaker 4>this stuff like that, So we gotta change it up

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 4>a bit.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.640
<v Speaker 5>Or obviously say Flowers had a great rookie year this year,

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 5>he's taking it to even another level in your opinion,

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>you know what's it been that's made the.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.360
<v Speaker 3>Difference for him us?

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 4>I can't call it like when he entered the league

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.920
<v Speaker 4>last year, you know, he was the same, like he

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.839
<v Speaker 4>just got that that the get him, like he he

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:02.599
<v Speaker 4>just wanna be the best he can be, be the

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 4>best receiver he could be in the lead and that's

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 4>the football league and just try to help his team win.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 4>And him being a young player and what he bring

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.160
<v Speaker 4>it to the table is like, that's what you need

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 4>out of young guys.

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 3>You need a lot of young guys to be the

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 3>same way. He had the same mindset. That's just wanna win,

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 3>Famar does it? Als?

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 9>Is it like you guys seem to have him poor

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 9>with each other and when you spend time off the

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 9>field and so forth, like how how would import him?

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 9>Cause is that for on the field success? You know,

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 9>and that sort of thing to you guys?

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.159
<v Speaker 4>Uh, I believe it's it's part of the chemistry. You know,

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 4>you guys probably start s knowing, no knowing each other

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 4>thoughts sometimes with certain things you know from field play,

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 4>you know, and just watching highlights or something like that.

0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 4>Just the bunding bunding off the outside of the field

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.279
<v Speaker 4>and running on the f on the field.

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 3>It it helps your team out a lot. I believe

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>that's just me more.

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.560
<v Speaker 7>And you know, an entry group, you know, the teams

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 7>like kind of go when he the first season in

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.760
<v Speaker 7>the NFL. But when you come in the NFL, you

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 7>heard a lot of criticism, people skeptical or now you're

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 7>having your best season year seven. This still the the

0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 7>whatever the you wanna call him. The doubters, the haters whatever,

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.480
<v Speaker 7>d D. Does that still motivate you in.

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 4>In your seven Yeah, because like it's really nothing to

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 4>talk about for real life.

0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Just let us play football. But it is what it is.

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.000
<v Speaker 4>It's gonna always be that, you know, once you, once you,

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 4>when you playing sports, it's gonna always be talk.

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.120
<v Speaker 3>Of how good the players, how bad are players?

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 4>He should be this, he should be that. It's gonna

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.760
<v Speaker 4>always be that type of talk. So it is what

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 4>it is. But just keep it up.

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 3>For me, it helps or less less. You got to

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 3>know the early game and you can just go Saturday.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 7>So how many times is there a part of you

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:40.719
<v Speaker 7>that likes the fact that you get the first game

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 7>of the weekend and you could just kind of focus

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 7>on what you guys and you can focused on pick

0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:46.720

<v Speaker 4>you know, just another guy or another one of one

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 4>type of generation of tenants aga, I believe.

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:26.400

<v Speaker 5>of grow over the course of the season. You guys

0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 5>are going into the playoffs playing really good ball.

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, just I think each and every week just seeing

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 10>the improvements. No one, it has to do with just

0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 10>guys playing new positions each and every game, learned something new,

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.360
<v Speaker 10>getting better. And then you know, just credit to the

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:06.360
<v Speaker 10>guys working on their craft each and every day, you know,

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 10>whether it's a walk through his practice, trying to make

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 10>each other better, pushing each other to be at our best.

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.080
<v Speaker 10>And of course once you once we you know, get

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:18.079
<v Speaker 10>to that postseason, you won't be hitting on all cylinders.

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 5>How personally, just proud are you of that? I mean,

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 5>obviously entering the year, there's a lot of talking about

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 5>the airline and all the new guys in starting positions

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.680

<v Speaker 10>just you know, all the things that you know, we

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.559
<v Speaker 10>went through in the preseason. You know, losing Joe d

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:46.240
<v Speaker 10>surely hasn't been easy, you know, but I think, you know,

0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:47.960

<v Speaker 5>Chance to win the AFC North two years in a row.

0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 5>What does that mean to you?

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.319
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it's a it's a great opportunity. It's that it's

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.920
<v Speaker 10>hard to come by, you know, and just we get

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.000

<v Speaker 10>no one more deserving than award than Lamar Jackson.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:51.480

<v Speaker 6>Because of the communication we have. That's why I feel like,

0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, it's been such a big deal cause the

0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 6>communication we have out there on the field in aus

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:27.920

<v Speaker 5>Forever?

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Did did you? Did you sort of assume that would

<v Speaker 3>be there?

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.480
<v Speaker 7>Or has that been even a pleasant surprise to you,

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.839
<v Speaker 7>how smooth it's working out.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:38.640

<v Speaker 6>and everything like that, and they'll get guys lined up

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.200
<v Speaker 6>and help those guys out like around us in each other.

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.200
<v Speaker 6>So like it wasn't surprised at all for there.

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.800
<v Speaker 11>Bartol Humphrey last week said you might have had the

0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.000
<v Speaker 11>hardest job of all because every summer it seems you're

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 11>fighting for a job on the team. If we could

0:11:57.320 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 11>go back to the draft process, do you remember of

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.880
<v Speaker 11>that of not being drafted up joining this team?

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean, oh man, not being drafted It kind of

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.719
<v Speaker 6>just seemed in a dark place, you know what I mean.

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 6>So then like when I got here, like all I

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 6>wanted to do is prove myself and go out there

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.720
<v Speaker 6>and play football. So like I was kind of down

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 6>for like about two months or so, I'll say, But

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.280
<v Speaker 6>then when I got here, I just wanted to play

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 6>play ball, improve myself and go out there and you know,

0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:23.240
<v Speaker 6>ultimately come and started as I am now. But some

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 6>injuries had came along that way and kind of like

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 6>stumbled that, but now I'm here.

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 5>After your fourth down stop on Jill mixing, Zach Orr

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.400
<v Speaker 5>seemed flying over top of you to the ground in celebration.

0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 9>Did you even notice stuff was happening?

0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.160
<v Speaker 6>Nah, I know, sir, I didn't. I didn't even know

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 6>he did that. Like we both kind of blacked out.

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 6>Like when I talked to him about it, he blacked out.

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 6>I blacked out, so like I got to my phone.

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.240
<v Speaker 6>Like a reporter asked me after the game, you know,

0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:47.839
<v Speaker 6>did you see Zach or anything. I was like, nah,

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 6>I didn't even see him. So I got back to

0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 6>my phone and I checked. I said, oh, this is

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.160
<v Speaker 6>what she was talking about. Well at first, no, I

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:54.320
<v Speaker 6>didn't know. I didn't even see it.

0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.960
