1
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: You gotta know what you are, respect the game, respect

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: to people that's in front of you. Know. But at

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, never never just credit yourself

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: as a player. As a defense. You just come together.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: What can we do to face this and get back

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: to being us? The baby started crying. I rolled over

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: and I'd be like something help like, no, I'm bag sleeping.

8
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge the post. By week, you're feeling refreshed.

9
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm feeling very refreshed. You almost died. I didn't always

10
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: to give it abbreviated version. I was out in California

11
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: visiting wine country, which is awesome. Had a great time

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: in Sonoma, Nappa. However, and youone that's been paying attention

13
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: to the dudes, the fires are out there and uh,

14
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: we came dangerously close to a wildfire on the side

15
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: of the road. Uh which how far I mean probably

16
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: about a hundred yards away. It was terrifying. I mean

17
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: what you saw the smoke, and it was one thing,

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: but when we got close we can see the smoke billing,

19
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: and then we saw the flames and we were like

20
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: and people were cars were coming the other direction, going

21
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: driving the wrong way on the on the freeway ramp

22
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: to get away from it. It was terrifying. It was terrifying,

23
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: but so we got away around. We got you back, glad,

24
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: We got you back, buddy. For as much as I

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: like to buster chops, I don't want to see you.

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: It was scared. It was scary. So fire wildfires, if

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: you ever find yourself close, they are not anything to

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: mess with. And all serious and thank you to all

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the firefighters. Yeah, that is a scary job. It is.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: I Meanwhile, the only thing I was running away from

31
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: We're running two was my next meal to run to,

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: next your next meal. Yeah, it was pretty great. Anyway,

33
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: we are back. I mean, you come back from the buying.

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: There ain't a bigger game than this, going up against

35
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: the defending Super Bowl champions two by the way, or undefeated,

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: who by the way, have the least defense, who by

37
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: the way, have to go Tom Brady here. So uh,

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: this is a pretty awesome game. Really something else, by

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: the way, the best ever, Bill Belichick, I could probably

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: keep going. Um, so they're really good, but you know what,

41
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: you know what, the Rams are really good too, and

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is really good. And you can tell this

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: team is excited to have Lamar Jackson on their side

44
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: in this one. Yeah, absolutely, I mean beyond. To be honest,

45
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I don't really think of it. It just as like,

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm I am glad to have Lamar Jackson on our

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: side in this game. But I think of it as

48
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: bigger than that. I just think that the Ravens are

49
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: a team that respects for the Patriots, tu, but they're

50
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: not scared of the Patriots. I think a lot of

51
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: teams can go up and they face the Patriots and

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: they build up this whole persona of who they are,

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's rightfully built up because of all the

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: things that you're talking about. But some teams let that

55
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: get the best of them. And throughout their history, whether

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: they've won or lost, the Ravens have always played the

57
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Patriots really tough, um and I think it's because they

58
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: don't make the game bigger than it is. And so

59
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I think that goes well. I agree with you that

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I think it's great to have Lamar Jackson. I want

61
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: him on, you know, my side, ten days out of ten.

62
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: I think it's bigger than just having him on the Ravens. Yeah,

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: it is bigger than that, because you know who else

64
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: we have on our side Chuck Clark about yes and

65
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: so boom, yes, we're we're excited to having Chuck Clark

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: on and we're gonna talk with him during this. But

67
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 1: before we do that, we have some emails. We've getting

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot of them. We got this one is from

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Pate uh says he's another Canadian Ravens fan from Vancouver.

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Love the International and I love Canada. Yeah, frankly we

71
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: had a we had a Vancouver since he said it

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: was another one. Oh another Okay, yeah he listens. Yeah,

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: a long time listener, first time emailing. Sorry for being

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: lazy and not getting to it sooner. I love the show.

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah, a lot of flattery stuff. Yeah

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: read that. That's my favorite part of Alright. Anyway, thank

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: you for the comments. But the question is he's got

78
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: a draft idea, which was the subject of email, said,

79
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I would like to see you guys do a current

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: team draft with the players currently on the roster. Okay

81
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: snake draft, selecting one player at a time to form

82
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: the best squad. This is interesting. Obviously, not a fieldable

83
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: team like you imagine a scrimmage pick up football game,

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: just curious to see where you guys would rank our

85
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: players right now, all the best from Canada. keV. That's

86
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: a fun idea. Basically, it's it's a fantasy football draft

87
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: with only the Ravens, and it's not just fantasy football

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: points you. Yeah, I'll get number one overall pick and

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm taking Lamar. Yeah. Why do you get number one

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: overall pick? Because I just do? Because I beat you

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: in the most I beat you in the most drafts recently.

92
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: Mock draft. Uh, of course, trounce you in the Thanksgiving

93
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: draft way back when that that was one that you had.

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: That's your worst draft of all time. Listeners who missed

95
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: the Thanksgiving Draft from a couple of years ago need

96
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: to go back and listen to that episode. Another total

97
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: tobaccle on your part. We did a Halloween Kendy d

98
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: and everyone agreed that you completely failed of that one. Completely.

99
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Get recy's cups stickers. You've got nothing. What did I get?

100
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: You got apples or something bad? Apples? Got some candy corn,

101
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: so I would have never taken you got candy corn

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: is trash. You got candy corn and something else. It

103
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: was the worst. That might have been worse than Thanksgiving

104
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Draft historically bad Um, that's a fun idea. We might

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: have to do that at some point. We gotta get

106
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: something going in anyway. With that said, you know who

107
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: i'd take. Fine, if you're taking Lamar, I'm taking Chuck Clark. Two.

108
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: With that's ever, get into our interview with Chuck Clark.

109
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: All right, we have Chuck Clark, who has been probably

110
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: you and binds the best surprise of the season. I

111
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: don't mean to assault you. I don't even saying yeah,

112
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: but still surprise here, but still Chuck, I mean wearing

113
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: the green dot leading the defense. From a communication aspect,

114
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: you've been an integral player. I'm assuming you're not at

115
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: all surprise however, No, it's just all about embracement roles.

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: You know, just ready to be called upon, being the

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: next guy up, and when your time comes, you gotta

118
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: take advantage of it and see it, do you. You know?

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,119
Speaker 1: We want to talk about the communication piece a little

120
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: bit because I feel like that's something that is we

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: talk a lot about, but it's hard to totally grasp

122
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: it from a fan standpoint because we're not on the

123
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: field seeing what's happening. Take me through like a play,

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: the call comes into your helmet. How do you go

125
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: through the process of getting this out to everybody and

126
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: make sure everyone's on the same page. I mean hopefully

127
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 1: we all in the general area, but uh, just you

128
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: know the call, come in and saying it to everybody,

129
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: and I mean we out there on the field, I'll

130
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: say it, and then more people say it when we

131
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: all together, so everybody know what's going on. Like if

132
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: I go on a deep ball downfield, you know, I

133
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: gotta run back play over because I gotta get back

134
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: down there to let everybody else know that didn't get

135
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Of course they're right down field.

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: So I mean it's not bad though, right, And how

137
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: complex is a call? Like how many words are we

138
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: talking here? We got something that can be pretty long,

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: and I like I have to say it so like

140
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 1: throughout the week practice is I might say it and

141
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: it might sound like mm, well lit up a little bit,

142
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, I gotta make sure

143
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: I can get that out right. But I mean, it's

144
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: not not too bad. Other than a few of them,

145
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 1: they are pretty pretty good with without giving anything away,

146
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: can you give us an example, uh, green left goose?

147
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: All right? That's that's a blitz go right there. So

148
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: when when they came to after the reason you're wearing

149
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: the green dot case fans don't know, the whole story

150
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: is is Tony was wearing it. Well, Peanut was wearing it,

151
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: the Tony was wearing it. Then then Tony got hurt, um,

152
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: and then you've stepped into the starting line up. You're

153
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: playing every single snap and you are now wearing it.

154
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: So when Tony gets hurt and they come to you

155
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: and they say, we're thinking about having you be that guy,

156
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: was it just a matter of you, like were you

157
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: all on board with that? Were you at all uncertain?

158
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: Like what was your thought at that time? Well? I

159
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: knew um when the injury happened, and you know, I

160
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: was like I started looking at the defense and numbers.

161
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: I was like, okay, definitely know I'm about to be starting.

162
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: So it was that Monday I was looking at film

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and I was just thinking about now. I was like, yeah,

164
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna have to get the mike now because

165
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: I was thinking about all the people that had had

166
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: it and they were out there, and I was like, definitely,

167
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna get it. So like while I was

168
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: studying film for the next game coming up. I was like, okay,

169
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: just be prepared, you know. And then later on that day,

170
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: wink I ended up calling me. He was saying, how

171
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: do you feel about having the MIC this week and

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: moving forward? And I was like, I'd been thinking about it, so,

173
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ready for it. And you did it

174
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: in college. Yeah yeah, I mean but in college you

175
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: don't got microphones and whatnot. But it's more so signaling

176
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: it in and echoing into the defense. But it's pretty

177
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: much the same. You were the guy that was responsible

178
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah. And then physically, how did you feel

179
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: after your first game of playing every single snap on defense?

180
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: Because I think it was the first time you've done

181
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: that in the NFL. No, no, no, I had I

182
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: had two stars. That's kicked off. Man. I didn't know

183
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: it every I didn't realize it was every snap though.

184
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, good, you know, condition the course of a

185
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: football game. So I felt good. Nice. So I just

186
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: want to talk about kind of your progression here. I mean,

187
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: you come in and there's just been great safeties here,

188
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you kind of had to wait

189
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: your turn behind wet all and then and Tony and

190
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, and then they get Earl Thomas, and it's like,

191
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: at any point do you think, all right, you know,

192
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: obviously you love those guys, but what am I going

193
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: to get my shot? You know? Yeah, I mean as

194
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: a player, those things definitely come through your mind. But

195
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: you can't let him stay because when you do, that's

196
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: that's when it begins to mess up your game. So

197
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: you always gotta stay pretty even. You know what I'm saying.

198
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: You can't get too high, I can't get too low.

199
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: You seem good at that, Yeah, I mean, you just

200
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: you gotta stay even. I mean, you gotta know what

201
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: you are, respect the game, respect to people that's in

202
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 1: front of you, you know. But at the end of

203
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: the day, never never just credit yourself as a player,

204
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, just always keep keep going hard. And like

205
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: I said, when your Thomas called and you know you

206
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: gotta step up and take I thought it was pretty cool.

207
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: And Earl Thomas said that when he first got here

208
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: and he came in and he was talking to you,

209
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: and I guess watching film with you and Saul, just

210
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: how much you knew just how you're such a serie

211
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: of the game. He was like, why did they sign me.

212
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: That's a that's a lot coming from a player like him,

213
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, the career that he's had out in Seattle

214
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: then to come here, I mean that means a lot.

215
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: But like I said that, from me, it was just

216
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the player that I am, that

217
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be, you know, respecting the game, always knowing

218
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: the game, gotta know what you can gotta do before

219
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: you can even get out on the field and do it.

220
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: So can you talk a little bit about your film study?

221
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: Everybody talks about how you're the smartest guy in the

222
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: room and you know everything. How many hours do you

223
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: put into it? How does that all go down? I

224
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: remember when I first got here, like the Ricky camp

225
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: O t a S. I was just like, just being

226
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: a safety, you got to know everything on the defense, honestly,

227
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: and all the cars and check so I was just like,

228
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: I can't go out there and not know this defense.

229
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: So just finally being in it for three years and

230
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: just excuse me, reiterating and going over it again and

231
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: again and again, it's kind of like second hand nature.

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: You know. It's like it's pretty easy now. So do

233
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: you not have to go home and study now you

234
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: can go play video games. Yeah. No, I definitely do

235
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: study because you know, we have things and different things

236
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: to come up in your game planning. Yeah, so always

237
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 1: always studying. But I mean the basically defense is pretty

238
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, it's there, so I pretty

239
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: much know it. I think you're being pretty modest because

240
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: you're saying you got it now. But Marlon Honver, when

241
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: he talked to us, has said he remembers his rookie

242
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: year and basically being like, hey, Chuck, what we're trying

243
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: to figure that out now, That's what I'm saying. So, like,

244
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: as it's safety, you gotta know everything. You gotta be

245
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: able to help somebody out. We out there on the

246
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: fly and things going, you know what saying bullets Fine,

247
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,959
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to r You got this, you

248
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: got that. So that's why when I first came in,

249
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: I write down, like so we had to play it

250
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: was you know, we got a bunch of them, we

251
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: got one play. Yeah good. I'm writing down everything from

252
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: what the corners doing, with the nickels doing, and the linebackers.

253
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, So I have a game

254
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: is flowing. Yeah, just so you know how how things

255
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: fit out and how they play out. You are like

256
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: a football junkie, Like is that just kind of who

257
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: you are? Have you always been that way? And like

258
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: looking at the XS and those pieces of the game.

259
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: It's crazy because I wasn't really like it didn't start

260
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: to college honestly. But a matter of fact, I said

261
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: this the other the other day in the interview. I

262
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: said they didn't really start to college. But then my

263
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: dad said he heard that, and he was like, no, well,

264
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, we we had a uh we got a

265
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: video you on camera. I used to play quarterback back

266
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: in Pop one and he had me a camera in

267
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: the front yard like doing handoffs and stuff. He's like, so,

268
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: what's the sixth hole, what's the fourth hole? And all that?

269
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: So I mean, but really, really I didn't really get

270
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: into it, like how I am down to college. I say,

271
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, you see the game different you're studying. It's

272
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: just a whole different level from there. That's interesting. So

273
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: we want to also get into obviously the big game

274
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: coming up. You know, what's it like for you stepping

275
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: in against Tom Brady and that offense and and all

276
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: that that that that means, um I wouldn't say, because

277
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: I can't put it on me, But I mean for

278
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: the defense, like we got a great challenge ahead of

279
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: us to go get a win, and you know then

280
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: we're going against the good offense. We go out there

281
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: and compete and do what we gotta do when the

282
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: lights come on, right. I mean, Tom Brady always seemed

283
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: you echo with Lamar said today that he's the good

284
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: of all goods. He's the king goat. Yeah, yeah, I

285
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: mean look at his track record. You know, he's been

286
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: doing it for a long time, and he knows where

287
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: to go with the ball. He knows all the checks

288
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: in their offense. Sign So I mean, I mean he's

289
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: the goalie. Go to Beck got him some good shoes

290
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: that you got any gifts from. Do you get excited

291
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: about like a quarterback matchup? Like as a fan you

292
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: look at it and it's like this is Tom Brady

293
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: Verslamar Jackson and those types of things. But as a player,

294
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: do you get excited about the notion of going and

295
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: playing Tom Brady? Definitely? Definitely, As just say the like,

296
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: you're the quarterback of the defense, so and he's of

297
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: course quarterback, So quarterback versus quarterback when we on the field,

298
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: and you gotta disguise, gotta make the colleges go out

299
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: there and make plays and compete. You know, you talk

300
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: about the film study, I mean, is is there another

301
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 1: level to it? Does it go to another level with

302
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: the Patriots because you know that they are so good

303
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: at reading what you're trying to do well, I mean

304
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: just watching them, you you can see that they know

305
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: how to break down and and as defense is unfold

306
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: they know where to go with the ball and things

307
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: like that. So I mean, I think that you just

308
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: gotta do what you do at the end of the day.

309
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: You can't over overdo it because when you get doing that,

310
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: start doing that and get outside of your game and

311
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: outside of the defense, that's when things when guys are

312
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: trying to do what they're not supposed to. I'm curious

313
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: from a big picture level, has it been interesting or

314
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: strange to see how much the defense has changed within

315
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: the last eight months. Like the guys last year who

316
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: were such more key players. Obviously many of them moved on,

317
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: but then you had some injuries. You have some chance

318
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: you have a guy like Josh Bonds who comes in

319
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: off the street and moves into the starting lineup. Um

320
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: Ford obviously playing a lot like you're in the starting

321
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: line of there's been major Marcus Peters comes in and

322
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: the starting right away, Like this defense is completely different

323
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: from last year, right, I mean that's just a nature

324
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: the NFL coming and going into the league, you know,

325
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: and I mean my first two years, of course, we

326
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: had a lot more firm pieces in place, but this

327
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: year it's been a lot of moving around and guys

328
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: in and out. Do you feel like, you know, you

329
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: guys are a prival group on defense, and you struggled

330
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: early in the year, but it seems like you've kind

331
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: of figured it out lately and you just come you

332
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: come off your best game against UH Seattle and an

333
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: VP candidate Russell Wilson, did that talk bother and motivate

334
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: you when there was criticism of how you guys are playing?

335
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean always, I mean because you always here to here,

336
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: So I mean as a defense, you just come together.

337
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: What can we do to fix this and get back

338
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: to being us and going out there and actually doing

339
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: them because you can talk about going and being us,

340
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: but you actually got a guy down the field improve it, right, right,

341
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: you can do that? Well? I think it's what's interesting

342
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: to going into this game is the comparisons between our

343
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: defense this year and the Patriots defense from last year,

344
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: which started out not good and everybody in around the

345
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: league was talking out, all the Patriots defense is really bad,

346
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: blah blah, and then they just gradually improved. They just improved, improved,

347
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: keep getting better over the course of the year, and

348
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: then you get to the playoffs, the Super Bowl, and

349
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: really is their defense that led him to that championship.

350
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Parnell actually mentioned that a couple weeks ago. Is that

351
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: something you guys kind of look at and you're like, hey, man,

352
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: we can just be We can be like they were

353
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: last year. If our defense keeps improving, who knows. I mean,

354
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: we just got to roll what we got out there

355
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: and just keep going, keep communicating and boiling on making plays,

356
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: getting turns. So it's also just aside from becoming a

357
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: starter in this defense, been a pretty wild month for you,

358
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: the birth of your daughter, which happened just before you

359
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: got the starting job. Charlie Rain How's how's Charlie doing.

360
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: She's doing good. She's you know, sleeping, sleep, wake up,

361
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: getting milk, drunk, back to sleep, getting so you're saying

362
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: she drinks milk, or she gets milk drunk because the

363
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: milk she joins them again, she getting a little drunk

364
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: like she should be drinking. And then soon as you

365
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: pulled a bottle from her, she was it a crazy

366
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 1: week when she's I mean, obviously your daughter's point, it's

367
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: a crazy week, um, but can you take us through,

368
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: like the emotion and just how wild that week was

369
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: for you. I mean from the football point, I was

370
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: just like, you know, when be starting this week, I mean,

371
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: I did it, but it wasn't like it was my

372
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: first time starting. So I'm just like, all right, I'm

373
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: back starting, about to go out here and prove that.

374
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 1: So from the football standpoint, it wasn't too nerve wrack

375
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, gonna be ready for that game. But

376
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: from the birth of my daughter thing, it was, man,

377
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: it was what was it the Thursday morning, coming into

378
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: the fast Friday, we went to the doctor and got

379
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: sent back home. But then while I came back to work,

380
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: my wife she told me she was like, yeah, my

381
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: mom took me up there. So then I left here

382
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: and when I went there, we you know, she ended

383
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 1: up coming later that Friday. So I was just like

384
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: I have got had some rest, so I'm good for

385
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: the game. But I really wasn't worried abou a football.

386
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 1: Was just worried about all right, the baby can come,

387
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, you can enjoy your get a little bit

388
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: of rest and be ready ball out. Yeah, and I

389
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: watch sleep are getting these days? You're getting up for

390
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: the feedings in the middle of the night. How's it

391
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: working out here, chuck? Yeah. I don't want to say,

392
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: because the sud think. I don't want to think bad.

393
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: But h okay, So the baby starts crying, I roll

394
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: over and I'd be like, you need some help, and

395
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: she's like no, And I'm bag sleeping right there in trouble. Sometimes,

396
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, I will admit I only say this because

397
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: my wife doesn't listen. There's some some cries and I'm

398
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: just I kind of hear, almost like I don't hear

399
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: that baby. But there is definitely a thing with the mom.

400
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just like programmed to wake at

401
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: the smallest little stir. They hear. They hear everything. She

402
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: makes a little whimper, she's breaking her head. They're looking

403
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 1: at legitimately. Sometimes you don't actually sometimes it's not as legitimate.

404
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you one other question, Chuck here before

405
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: we let you go, because every time I walked in

406
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: the locker room, especially last year, I smelled your bang

407
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: gay pretty strong stub on your leg. I would always

408
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: be like, dang truck cluck oiling up again. You had like, yeah, yeah, no.

409
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: I mean last year, I was just you know, kind

410
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 1: of figuring out a routine, and that was my thing

411
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: for last year. But I ain't been doing that this

412
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: I haven't done it this year. So I mean, just

413
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: kind of figuring out a routine. But I don't know.

414
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: I just liked it at the time. I felt like

415
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: every day I would go get in the hotel and

416
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: come rub that on and out to practice. But my

417
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: routine ain't been a little bit different. You appreciate you

418
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: answering that because it was a question that's been on

419
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: mind for a long time. But we would joke about it.

420
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: Was like, if we're gonna go interview, Chuck, you know,

421
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 1: you just gotta have to be prepared for that seen

422
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: you know that be strong that you didn't it. I mean,

423
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: you don't smell it, just it's just strong. It's that

424
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: minty smell, man, that icy hot well there you go.

425
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: Maybe that explains you know you're having a career year. Well, Chuck,

426
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: thank you appreciate it. Thanks, thank you so much. All right, Well,

427
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: good stuff from Chuck. Just a really cool guy. Chill dude. Uh,

428
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: obviously he's got the parenting thing down already. Um so

429
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: exactly so. Uh, you know, it's it is crazy how

430
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: big a player he has become in this defense. You

431
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: think about him and Josh Binds have really changed this

432
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: defense for the better. Um, and a lot of it

433
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: I think can really be attributed kind of too. I mean,

434
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: of course on the field, but also like their personality

435
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: and just like the energy they bring to the field.

436
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: I think has settled the whole unit down. Yeah, you

437
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: know they're going to be in the right spot at

438
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: the right time and and when you're playing defense, not

439
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: make making mistakes was the problem earlier in the season.

440
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: Just not making mistakes is essential. Like you heard him

441
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: talking about it when he discussed the week of that

442
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: he was going to be a starter in having his

443
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: daughter born. How he was like, I wasn't nervous about

444
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: the football piece. That attitude carries onto the field when

445
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: he gets out there, He's not flustered. He's not overwhelmed,

446
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: even if it's only his third start of his career

447
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: and he's wearing the mic trying to communicate with everybody,

448
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: like he's not overwhelmed in that atmosphere, which goes a

449
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: really long way, and sometimes you need that, like sometimes

450
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: you just need to be somebody that can be a

451
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: calming presence and to your point, that's when Josh Bines

452
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: has been um and Chuck has been the same way.

453
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: He's also playing at high levels. He's in the right spot,

454
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: he flies around to the football. It's not like he's

455
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: just a good I think sometimes when you talk about

456
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: a good communicator, that is like code for like not

457
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: an athletic. Yeah, exactly all he's important communicating, but he's

458
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: not making any plays. I don't think that's the case

459
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: with Chuck. I think that he's also always been around

460
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: the ball, season and stuff like that. Like Chuck is

461
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: always around the ball, always around the ball. He's in

462
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: the right spot. I think he's gonna pick off Tom Brady. Well,

463
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: he got like you said during what I'm saying, he

464
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: got my homes last year. He got my homes. You

465
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: got one m v P. Can he get the goat.

466
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 1: I think he might be able to that's a cheap

467
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: what's a goat? Sound? You just do that to Tom

468
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: after you pick him off Chuck. Yeah, that's some great

469
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: trash talking, great trash, great trash sock. Who's the goat? Now?

470
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's get enough of that. Let's get into

471
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: another email question here. As always, you can read us

472
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: at the lounge at Ravens dot NFL dot net. This

473
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: one comes from Brandon and he says, as a Ravens

474
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: fan from North Carolina, Carolina, I don't get to see

475
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: a lot of games. I follow on Red Zone, sling

476
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: TV uh and go to a bar when I can.

477
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: But as a fan who's kept up via social media,

478
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: the Ravens app you guys are the best. Thank you,

479
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, ESPN and other outlets. Boo. Notice

480
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: that Lamar's energy and attitude seems to be infectious. A

481
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: lot of media pundits and analysts say that the best

482
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks bring up the team around them. After Lamar's performance

483
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: in Seattle, are we saying that about him? Yeah? The

484
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: short answer is yes, everyone. I've said this from the

485
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: time that Lamar got here and moved into the starting lineup.

486
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: He has an infectious impersonality. Uh he impersonality or just

487
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: personal personality, Okay, infectually he has an infectious personality. He

488
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: everyone around the team gravitates towards him, even like just

489
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: anywhere you go around him. He can walk into a

490
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: room and he brightens the spears of that room and

491
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: everybody feels he walks out of that room and everyone

492
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: everyone feels like he's their friend by the time he leaves.

493
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: He has he treats people with respect. Um he had.

494
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: He's just fun to be around. And I think that

495
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 1: that makes a difference on a locker room, on a

496
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: team all that just a very genuine guy, never disrespectful

497
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: in any way. Uh, just like always kind of laughing

498
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 1: and has a smile on his face. Like a guy

499
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: who you can tell is a fierce competitor, but a

500
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: guy who just like enjoys life. And it doesn't make

501
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: it like this contentious thing. Like you can be a

502
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: competitor and that can like make you want to battle

503
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: everybody around you, right and just constantly be in competition

504
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: with about a reporter's question about a whatever. Like that's

505
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: not lamar, Like he can turn it off and just

506
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: be a human being and like and then turn it

507
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: on on the football field. Yeah, and and and some

508
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: guys are uncomfortable in the spotlight and it changes who

509
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: they are. I think the fact that he's been in

510
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: the spotlight since he's been a really young person, and

511
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: he's handled it incredibly well, I think is part of

512
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: the reason that he's so good at this point as

513
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: this all these quarterbacks have been in the spot Like,

514
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback in the NFL, you've been in

515
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: the spotlight for a long time. Not like him, Not

516
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,359
Speaker 1: like him. He's the Heisman Trophy winner. He's nineteen years old.

517
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: So compare that to compare at at a very young age. Yes, um,

518
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: and so he's been on that stage, and you know,

519
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: once you're into the NFL, I agree, it's all kind

520
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: of the same. But early on he had that exposure

521
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: and that success, and he's handled all of it incredibly well.

522
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: He's just he's just a likable person in the competitive

523
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: thing I think shows itself on plays like you had

524
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: that fourth down play where he says he wants to

525
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: go for it, basically puts the team on his back,

526
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 1: gets it, and the entire team offense and defense are

527
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: like this is the dude I want to ride with. Yes, exactly,

528
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that he has galvanized this team, uh

529
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: and taking it to another level. Just like I said

530
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: at the top of the pod, talking to the players

531
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: about how they feel about this game against the Patriots

532
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: and how great the Patriots defense has been, and how

533
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: great Bill Belichick is that scheming up things to take

534
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: away the offense's best player. They're all like, yeah, let's

535
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: see if you can take away the Morrow. Let's see

536
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: and we will it'll be I'm maybe they he will.

537
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick has done it a lot. He's the best. Uh.

538
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: But I like the Ravens chances too. All right, another

539
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: question here. This one comes from Ricky Lane says has

540
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: two questions. Willie Sneed used to play quarterback? Why haven't

541
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: we designed to play to use his talents for trick plays?

542
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Michelle would love this, Michelle and just her boss. She

543
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: loves trick plays. She wants a game. Just a shout

544
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: out to Michelle of all trickles entirely. Every play is

545
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: a trick play. Now, I'm down with that. But Lawrence guy,

546
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: if anybody watched the Browns Patriots game, Brown's tried to

547
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: get a little tricky and Baker Mayfield through it right

548
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: into Lawrence Guy's face. That wasn't that tricky. That was

549
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: just a shovel pass. It was pretty guys going each way.

550
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: You see that in high school offense every time you

551
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: get as a little tricky, little tricky. Wasn't that tricky?

552
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: Lawrors Guy figured out pretty darn quick. He practically ate

553
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the football, um all right, So that's his first question.

554
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: Then Ricky also asked, we know after the buy that

555
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 1: we're probably going to see the Patriots used Mohammed Sanu

556
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: in in a few trick plays, and Mohammed Sanu and

557
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: a few trick plays against us. Do you think our

558
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: defense is ready for that? We should ask Chuck, So

559
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: we should ask this question at the beginning. Well, they've

560
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: already the players have questions about the trick play stuff,

561
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: Julian Elliman and Mohammed's new and their ability to so

562
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll never forget the game that. Yeah, I know, I

563
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: know we don't need to go back to bad memories

564
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: right now, but yeah, I think they'll be ready for that.

565
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: And the thing with trick plays is they're tricky for

566
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: a reason. They're a little bit unpredictable. Um, they are

567
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: unexpected and so you know it's hard to completely prepare

568
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: for them. The Ravens are not out there practice spending

569
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: all day working on Mohammed's new past places Like, that's

570
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: not what's happened. Well, let's ask Josh bind it's how

571
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: he feels about trick plays and j Jalen Samuel's. Jalen

572
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: Samuel's goes out and tries to throw a past and

573
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: Josh Bindes picks him off, like on the first drive

574
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: of the game. So all right, you want to use

575
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: trick plays something, right, Earl Thomas will see what he

576
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: thinks about that. Um. So yeah, And when it comes

577
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: to Willie, I mean yeah, maybe at some point. I

578
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: mean he did it in the playoffs for the Saints

579
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 1: two years ago, pretty almost had it a little too far. Um,

580
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't shock me if that comes at some point maybe

581
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 1: after the buy you you scheme something up. I don't know. Um,

582
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: but Willie us have the capability, you know, and you're

583
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: just but here's the funny thing, man, last year when

584
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: we had Lamar and Joe on the same team, Yeah,

585
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: they're never You're running them out in the same play

586
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: and You're always waiting for that trick play to happen

587
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: and just never really came. Yeah. Yeah, So like I said,

588
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: maybe it happens, but a trick play, that's probably you

589
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: run that once a season. Yeah, exactly. Um. All right

590
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: with all that said, I do want to end on

591
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: this Halloween. What are you for Halloween this year? I

592
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: actually don't have a costume this year. What Yeah, I

593
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: missed the Halloween party because the one that I was

Speaker 1: before I was out of town two. So no costume.
