Honestly. 58 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: I think more guys need to have opportunities later in 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 2: their career. I think, you know, you've seen a lot 60 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: of players have success on good teams that are veterans. 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: You know, Bobby Wagner is another prime example. Seattle they've 62 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: had a linebacker issue, you know, this year he goes 63 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: to Washington. He's the spokesperson. He's the veteran on defense, 64 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: paired up with Jade and Daniels on offense like that, 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: you have him and Frankie lov Louva louv excuse me 66 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: that are kind of the veterans, but Bobby is the 67 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 2: super veteran that you need that I think more teams 68 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: should have that Eu Donnis Haslam kind of guy that's 69 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: been in your system a long time or have been 70 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: in the league that you kind of have an understanding with, 71 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: you know, Uh, he knows his role. 72 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 3: That's talked about. 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: And I think it's just a great way for young 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: players to see a professional one because it's such a 75 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 2: young league now where you know, they don't know what 76 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: being a professional is all about. And if you have 77 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 2: a veteran like a Bobby Wagner or myself, or there's 78 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: Kile's Cambo's down in Miami, if you have one of 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: those guys, the young guys can see, oh, this is 80 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 2: what it's like to be a professional. Oh, this is 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: what you have to do to be you know, I'm 82 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: not necessarily a Hall of Famer, but a productive player 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 2: in the league. 84 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: This is what it takes. 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, you've also know what it takes to win a 86 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. I mean, you've gone to Super Bowl winning 87 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: team with the Patriots. I'm just curious. We're almost down 88 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: the last game. This team seems to be peaking the 89 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: right time. Do you see that this Hey, this team, 90 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 4: what are the things you see in this team that 91 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 4: makes you feel like, hey, this could be a super 92 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 4: Bowl winning team. Because as we feel that this team 93 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 4: can do it, I'm curious that somebody who's done it 94 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 4: you see the same things. 95 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 3: And why? 96 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: Of course, I think you have the recipe for success, 97 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: right especially in the playoffs. 98 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 3: It's start with a quarterback. 99 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: We got that, Okay, stopping the run, you got that, 100 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 2: been doing a good job of that. We need to 101 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 2: keep doing that. Then you look at you know, the 102 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: O line and D line. How does that look? Okay, 103 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: We're we're looking pretty fair there. And then you look 104 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: at all, right, is that team playing complimary football during 105 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: the part where it gets really serious? And I feel 106 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 2: like we're trending towards that way. You know, there's other 107 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 2: teams where you could say the Chiefs, you know, they're 108 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 2: still the best team in the league. Nobody's knocked them off. 109 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: There's still the champs, there's still the team to beat. 110 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: You look at Buffalo, they're starting to play complimary football. 111 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: The Chargers looking complimary football. So that's how I look 112 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,239 Speaker 2: at the recipe for success. Who's playing complimentary football, who's 113 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: got a quarterback, who's got a who's stopping the run? 114 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: Those type of things, because in January weather comes up, 115 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: and do you want to stop the run when you 116 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: have Derrick Henry coming at you or a good scheme 117 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 2: coming at you. 118 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: So a lot of good teams. You know, you can 119 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 3: look at the NFC. 120 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: You got the Goals that are playing compromary football, the 121 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 2: Vikings playing compromary football. 122 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: So you just look at those. 123 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: Teams and who's playing that offense, defense, special teams, how 124 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 2: they're clicking, who's running the ball, who's stopping the run. 125 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: That's kind of what I look at. 126 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: Obviously, you played a long time for New England Patriots 127 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: and their heyday and they're a great franchise.

You know, we talked a little bit about 175 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: your age, and I did dig up on this. Yeah, exactly, So, 176 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: I mean I agree with you that, like, hey, people 177 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: should recognize that veteran players like can be very productive 178 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: into their thirties. And one, yeah, with that said, what 179 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: you're doing is still pretty rare. Right, there's only eleven 180 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: players that have been thirty three years older older who 181 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: have had more sex than season that you did. That 182 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: you have the season in NFL history only eleven guys, 183 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: So still pretty special. What you're doing right now. How 184 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: have you individually been able to do it and keep 185 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 1: this high level of play. 186 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's a good question. I think it's 187 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: you know, one couple of things I would like to 188 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 2: get off my chest is I feel like it's never 189 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: been a resurrection Personally, I think that narrative has been 190 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 2: thrown out. Yes, I've had career years here, but I've 191 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: always been a productive player. That goes back to when 192 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: I got out of Detroit and was actually put on 193 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 2: a football field. It was like Bam, I hit the 194 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: ground running. You know, whether it was in Miami, it 195 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 2: wasn't you know, the expectation I wanted down there, but 196 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: still was productive. Whether it was with the Chargers, still productive. 197 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: So I don't I want that narrative gone. The other 198 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 2: one too, is like to mee age is just a number. 199 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: To me, think, if you take care of your body, 200 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 2: you eat the right way, you work out the right way, 201 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 2: and you have that football football stamina, I think you 202 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 2: can do anything. And then just what I've done, I 203 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: think I've just surrounded myself with a lot of awesome people, 204 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: not a bunch of yes yes people people that like 205 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: my wife, who's been my biggest cheerleader. She's the reason probably, 206 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 2: you know, she's probably the reason why I'm still playing, 207 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: because there's been a couple of times like, you know, 208 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 2: I'm over this and she's like, no, you have more, 209 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: you have more to do. You know, you don't want 210 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 2: to regret being done. She's the reason why I'm why 211 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 2: I'm here with the Ravens, that's for sure. She just 212 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 2: pushed me to play, keep playing. I was to the 213 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: point whereas you know, early in the season, I'm like, well, 214 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: you know, I feel like I should be on a 215 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: team right now. This is kind of crazy. Yeah, And 216 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: she was like, well, you know, let's just keep working out, 217 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: keep doing your thing. You're ready, like you work out 218 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 2: in the backyard and you know your son's been watch 219 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: and just keep going. So you know, then the call 220 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: came and it was just like hit the ground running. 221 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: She's like, I told. 222 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: You, yeah, yeah, and she can. 223 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: Yeah she can. 224 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 2: So you know, I've been very blessed to have her 225 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: as you know, my sidekick, my co pilot throughout my 226 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: entire NFL career and you know, as a team we've 227 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: done pretty well. 228 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. 229 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, speaking of family, I know it's your son was 230 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 4: in the locker room. 231 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,480 Speaker 3: And yeah, let's go after the game. 232 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: How cool is that that you can share what you're 233 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 4: doing this year with him your family in the ways 234 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 4: that maybe ten years ago you could not. 235 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good question. I think for me, 236 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 2: it's just the memories, right when you go through life, 237 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: when you really look at it, likes about memories and 238 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 2: creating memories and that everlasting impact. I just want to 239 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: be able to do that for him that he got to, 240 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: you know, later in life. You know, he's five and 241 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: I'll play again next year. Let's get that out. He'll 242 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: be six. Being around understanding you know, he calls Lamar 243 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: Jackson Amar Jackson, Aamar Jackson. 244 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 3: That's his favorite player. 245 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 2: But just being able to be in that setting, be 246 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: around Uncle Mark Andrews and being able to go up 247 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 2: to him on the football field and say good job, 248 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: uncle Mark. 249 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: You know, it's awesome. 250 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: It is very cool. What you know. We talk about 251 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,959 Speaker 1: the production that you've had, and I think it's a 252 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: great point that you bring up, Like over your career, 253 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: you've kind of evolved to the role that you've been 254 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: assigned right, Like in New England, you had a lot 255 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: of coverage responsibilities and you, yeah, built a reputation is 256 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 1: one of the best coverage outside linebackers in the league. Yeah, 257 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: you know, getting picks and past places and all that stuff. 258 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: And now you come here and like you said, it's 259 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: you've been able to focus on Hey, get after the quarterback. Yeah, 260 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: pass Rush.

I think it started with. 265 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 2: When I was transitioning or wanting to transition, because I 266 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: felt like it's time in my career where I'm done 267 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: trying to cover these twenty one, twenty two, twenty three 268 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 2: year old running backs who. 269 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,239 Speaker 3: Are a lot fashion in the open field. 270 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 2: When it comes down to like, especially in previous employment 271 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: up North, we won't talk say their name anymore, but 272 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 2: I was guarding a lot of running backs then and 273 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 2: we played a lot of man coverage, and so it 274 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 2: was kind of like, all right, now I'm getting kind 275 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 2: of they're trying to single me out. 276 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 3: Good friend, I'll tell you a quick story.

I'm looking at him. 280 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, he's coming at me. I backed up, 281 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: like to twelve yards and C. J. Spiller still ran 282 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 2: by me, of course, but I ended up being incomplete 283 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: pass and I'm acting like a dB like no, no, no, 284 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 2: you know, yeah, yeah, no, flys over steep belt, you know, 285 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: all that good stuff. But I was just done doing that, 286 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 2: and it was like, I'm ready to rush the passer. 287 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 2: And then when I was in Los Angeles, you know, 288 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: I went there to be you know, kind of the 289 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 2: three man crew with Joey and Kmack. They had an 290 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: injury off the ball. They saw I've done that in 291 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 2: the past.

I go back to rushing, and then I 298 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: was able to showcase that I could rush. I think 299 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: that gained the attention of the Ravens and then that 300 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: off season I worked with a personal coach that I 301 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: still work with, working on the craft of rushing, and 302 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 2: then getting here with Chuck Smith, who they dedicate time for, 303 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 2: was able to just work with him and then just 304 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 2: get down in a rhythm and just it's still new 305 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: for me.

Like at the end of the day, I 338 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 2: know football and just my mindset with that, I just 339 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: think that's just how I go. 340 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 3: A little cut from the old school. 341 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I like it. 342 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: I like it. 343 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: God, this defense is going from you know, have some 344 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 4: struggles early to over the last six seven leagues, maybe 345 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,920 Speaker 4: being the best defense in the NFL. As a vet, 346 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 4: I'm just curious, Like I know, there were some frank 347 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 4: conversations with coaches players that you guys played a part 348 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 4: in turning things around. What do you think click with 349 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,920 Speaker 4: you guys, and what part did you play in kind 350 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 4: of helping that turnaround? 351 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 3: You think that's a good question. 352 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 2: I think it was a little hand in for everybody 353 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 2: right personally, Like something that I did was I got 354 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 2: the group together. That was one of the things I did. 355 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,399 Speaker 2: I want to say like what we were talked about 356 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: or anything, but it was just I felt like it 357 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 2: was just time to get everybody together, you know, have 358 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 2: a deep breath for a second. Then you know the 359 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: changes that they made in the secondary helped, and then 360 00:17:53,680 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: you know, just continuing to believe in Zo's plan and adjust, 361 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 2: Like I think where teams go wrong, not wrong or 362 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: I just think teams every year is different. 363 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: You got to always adjust, right. You can't just. 364 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: You know, there's very few places that can just be 365 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 2: the same every year. Like the league changes adapt so fast. 366 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 2: If you look at all of the top defenses, you know, 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 2: over the course of time, even this place from the 368 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,119 Speaker 2: decordinators of DMP's when he started, like Bellock, Bellock, I 369 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 2: want to say that Billock, Yeah, Brian Billock to you know, 370 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,880 Speaker 2: wink to Mike Mack to z O. They've changed over 371 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 2: the course. Yes, their foundation pieces are still there. That 372 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 2: core message is still yet there, but they've adapted over time. 373 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: And I think. 374 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 2: That's what we were doing, is we were adapting into 375 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 2: a new a new guy at the Helm. They adapted 376 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 2: from Wink to Mike Mack and now we've gone from 377 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 2: Mike Mack to z O and it's adapted over time. Now, 378 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 2: other organizations, to me, don't do that as successful, but 379 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 2: this place is number one of that being successful because 380 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 2: the standard and the message is always it's set way 381 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 2: before myself walking through the doors. 382 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 3: It's just a way of raving. Football is defense. 383 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: Well, how did you see Zach handle all that? Because 384 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: you know he was under a lot of heat yeah, 385 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: on and then you know talking with the players and 386 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: work with you How did you see him handle all 387 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: that like a. 388 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: Pro, like like somebody you would want, somebody who cares 389 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 2: about their job, cares about winning, cares about doing the 390 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 2: things the right way. 391 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 392 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 2: I think he's done an awesome job. It's like people 393 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: are funny. It's like the only way up for him 394 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: was down right. You come in and you're replacing the 395 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 2: number one defense and it's like, oh, the expectations is like, oh, 396 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 2: you're just going to do it over again. And it's like, no, 397 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 2: he's you got to do it. It's your own way 398 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: and your own like it's just different and you know 399 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 2: you have the same pieces, it's just a different year. 400 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: And I think that wasn't in our cars has just 401 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 2: come out right of way and just be dominant. It 402 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 2: was a work in progress and it's been awesome. And 403 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: I think we've all grown and the players have grown 404 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 2: a lot. You know, a lot of players have stepped 405 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 2: up in leadership roles and we got a lot of 406 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 2: defenders playing again through this entire season at a high level. 407 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: I'm curious about one guy that you talked about, not 408 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: the biggest, not the strongest, necessarily Ardarius Washington. Yeah, the 409 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,239 Speaker 1: favorite player really, So yeah, what is it about our 410 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: Darius that you love so much? 411 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 3: Man? 412 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: That's I've told him since I've gotten here, you're my 413 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 2: favorite player. Like he really defines the word football like 414 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: just a football player where he just got a knack 415 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: of playing football, Like you just said, like that's a 416 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: that's because I see myself and him, Yeah, I see 417 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: that chip on his shoulder. I see a good football player. 418 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 2: I see somebody who just loves football, has a knack 419 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 2: for it, just makes place. Don't matter where you put him, Nickel, 420 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 2: you could put him at corner. I'm sure if you 421 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 2: put him at nose tackle he would find he would legit, 422 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 2: find a way under. Yeah, he would do whatever it 423 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: took to get the ball or make the tackle. That's 424 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 2: just the type of attitude he has, and that's the 425 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: type of players I like to play with. 426 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 4: It's awesome you have been around at least two goats, 427 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 4: you know, with Brady and out Lamar. Yeah, I'm just 428 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 4: curious you've seen both of them up closed. Lamar, I've 429 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 4: heard you talk about his development as the leader. Just 430 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 4: what you're seeing in him now, the way he's growing. 431 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 4: What what other thing he's doing that you say, he 432 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 4: you know, he's got it. 433 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just got I don't know how you can't 434 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: put into words. It's just like once you've been around that. 435 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: That was the other thing too. I've been around really 436 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 2: good quarterbacks. Stafford, he's won a Super Bowl, arguably Hall 437 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: of Famer. His stats are insane, like the first to 438 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: everything at young ages. I think Justin Herbert's an incredible quarterback. 439 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: I mean he's playing really well this year. And then Lamar, 440 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 2: he's just In a different category. He's electric with the football, 441 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: and I think the thing that is impressive most about 442 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: him is he's just got the it factor. You can't 443 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: pinpoint exactly what it is. It's just he's just that dude, 444 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 2: and it's awesome. To be honest, team, I would hate 445 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: to go against him, it would be a headache. But 446 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: the way he's just handling business this year, the way 447 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 2: he's you know, not satisfied with anything. I think that's 448 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 2: what drives him to be great is you know, he's 449 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 2: pissed off when he throws a pick, even though maybe 450 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: it wasn't his fault. He's saying, that's my fault. I 451 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: need to deliver a better football. I need to be better. 452 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: And when you have somebody like that, you got a 453 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 2: man on a mission and you want to be a 454 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: part of that mission and do everything you can to 455 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: hold up your end of the bargain. 456 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: Nice last question for me, what happened to the sact? 457 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: I really like that one. 458 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: I did you know that was just an inside joke 459 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: for the week.

And this pass rush as as 498 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: a whole is getting cranked up too. 499 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 3: Kyle, he's a baller to me. 500 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 4: I mean, he was one of those guys, like you said, 501 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 4: you know it might not be the best athlete on 502 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 4: the field, but he's an incredibly smart player. 503 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 3: To me too. 504 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 4: He knows what's happening times before the ball is snapped. 505 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 4: Very rarely see him take a step in the wrong direction. 506 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 4: So when you have those things, you can make plays. 507 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 4: And yeah, I think going into playoffs, having a vet 508 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 4: guy like that who not only helps himself but can 509 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 4: tell other guys. I go Dafe and you know, you 510 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 4: have a rogue line and guys he works with on defense, 511 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: they're always working together. He's one of those guys you 512 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 4: want because he just sees the game. 513 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: So well, yeah, he's just a guy you want on 514 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: your team, point blank. And you know, he was a 515 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: free agent in this past offseason. There's a lot of 516 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: time spent talking about, oh, do the Ravens bring back 517 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: Jadavion Clowney or you know, is it van Ney or whatnot? 518 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,120 Speaker 1: And Clowney ends up signing with the Panthers back kind 519 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: of near his where he grew up a little bit 520 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: closer to home. And the Ravens inked Kyle van Noida 521 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 1: a two year deal, and boy has that move worked out. 522 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 1: I mean, that was just a great move. And it 523 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: was also good to hear Kyle say, hey, yeah, I'm 524 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: playing out these two years on this contract. This is 525 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: not my final year. So I was also happy to 526 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: hear that. 527 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, why wouldn't he exactly, But with doing a great 528 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 4: job with a great team, I do think he gets 529 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,640 Speaker 4: extra jews from being with the Ravens. 530 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 3: A true contender your career. 531 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: You know you don't want to be in a place, 532 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: you know where this time of year, you don't have 533 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 4: anything team wise to play for it. He loves playing here. 534 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 4: The Ravens love Avane. It's a great marriage. 535 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: Yep. 536 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 1: Absolutely well, thank you for listening.
