Obviously. 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:32.440 It's a game that we look forward to every year. 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:34.919 What questions you have, don I know you don't like to. 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.839 Talk much back interview, but what is it like when 0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:39.960 you go on the field and you see Marlon Odell, 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.560 you know, even Ronnie and Bateman, all those guys coming 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.040 back good? 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:43.800 Yeah, I mean it's good. 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:46.440 It's good to see guys out there practicing. Different guys 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:48.880 are in different stages, you know, as the week goes 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:51.600 on in terms of all the different guys, we'll see 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:54.520 where they're at for Sunday. But it is good seeing 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:55.240 guys get back out. 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.200 Ny from Marlin Turns, I know you're probably not going to. 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:00.840 Get fit, get specific. 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.360 But what have you seen in terms of the Kenny 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.000 products there? 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.120 Well, I mean he's been working super hard. It's one 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:06.880 of those things where it's really just a matter of 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.360 the healing process in there taking place in the bone 0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:14.039 or whatever. And so it looks good, we'll see what happens. 0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:15.840 It's just got to see how response to the work low. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:17.240 That's the main thing right now. 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.720 He coach, you had a few players this week, in 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.160 particular Eric Thomains and having a veteran like him and 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.760 after just Oliver's departure, is his main assignment to be 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:28.280 like one of those blocking tight ends. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.679 Well, there's no doubt Eric's known for that. You know, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:32.440 it's kind of his things. He can run routes, catch 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:32.720 the ball. 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:33.080 Certainly. 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.319 He said, he's a veteran player, highly decorated tight end 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.040 in this league who's kind of known as a really 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:42.760 good blocking tight end. So he was available, he was 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.039 excited to come back, and you know, we can put 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.479 him into that mix and see where we go. 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:50.960 On Kenny pictons since Paser, I mean that he's expected 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.280 to play on Sunday. He was what you've seen for 0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.840 the mont you know what you expect the problem on Sunday. 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.400 Right, Well, we've got a lot of tape on on 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.960 kennybviously played them seeing him on tape all the time. 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.800 Obviously excellent quarterback. You know, in the system he's they 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.799 fitted the system to him. It seems like like always. Yeah, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.040 I mean we're looking forward to the challenge, you know, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.919 and that's what it's going to be, and we expect 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:15.160 him to be out there. He says he's going to 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.240 be out there. We're expecting to be out there. You know, 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.960 it is what it is. You know, you find out 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.840 we had the same situation last week and it didn't 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:21.359 go that way. 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.600 So you know, we'll just see where we're at. 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.040 But uh, you know, obviously Mitch Trubisky's a heck of 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.400 a player too, and we'll be preparing for the Pittsburgh 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:29.200 Steeler offense. 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.120 John had a usual stretch of the schedule three straight 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.480 road games for a division game, then international game. Do 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.160 you have to shift things like players, sleep, cycle, nutrition, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.639 vocals on any differently or do you just stay day 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:41.000 to day. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:42.840 We have a plan, but I think we can talk 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.280 about that next week. It'll be better, Yeah. 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.320 John, A lot of great linebackers have similar traits. 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:52.160 But when it comes from Roquan, especially the way you 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.040 kind of just splashed in your defense last year, right, 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.079 is there's something unique that makes him kind of stay 0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.440 out amongst the even amongst the crowd of the great 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:01.520 linebackers that you can cook. 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.520 It's a great question, I'd say, yeah. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.160 I mean, I don't think you're you could possibly stand 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.359 out in this different this craft as a football player 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.560 unless there's things about you that are very unique, you know, 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.880 and sometimes it's the simplest things and just being great 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:18.840 at those things that is unique, because the simplest thing, 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.560 sometimes the hardest thing, is to be consistently great at 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.480 and that's one of the things he does. I Mean, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:27.800 he's relentlessly chasing every detail of his craft, and he 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.079 does it with an enthusiasm and a demeanor and a 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:34.519 confidence that you pretty much, uh, you respect when you 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.400 see it, that's for sure. 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:39.800 Is there any aspect that when he arrived change you 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.520 felt like it was affecting the culture of either the 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.120 defense or even just the linebacker room. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.120 Yeah, certainly adding to it. I mean, you know, a 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:48.000 great leader brings brings it to the culture. I think 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.960 the culture is a lot of things and one of 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.840 the things it's uh, it becomes kind of a mix 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.040 for all the all the parts, you know, all all 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.480 the pieces in there, and sometimes sometimes you know, there 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.360 can be a cat list. And I think he was 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.000 a little bit of a catalyst for us that way 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.440 and just the way he operates, and and that's good. 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:06.400 That's what leadership is. 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.120 If he jumping right away or Steve Smith talking about it, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:10.960 I got to wait a year. 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:13.880 But you know, Steve Smith didn't read wait a year. 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.520 He might have said that. I recall him jumping right 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.720 in and yeah, and Roe was the same way. He 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:21.440 jumped right in, and he just was Row, just like 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.279 Steve was Steve. And and one of the great quotes 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:29.120 that Steve Smith has is uh he says uh, he 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:30.320 says I was born or raven. 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:32.920 I just didn't know it until I got here. You know, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:34.080 it's pretty good. 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.280 We appreciate that John. 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:36.560 Uh. 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:39.600 He saw obviously Marcus Williams get full participation in the 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.200 last week, but it's a different kind of situation for him. 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.480 Are you looking for something specific this week to kind 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.320 of get him the green mind? 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:46.640 Just looking for him to be ready. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:47.919 You know, I think it's a lot of factors that 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.880 are involved with that, and uh, and we'll see as 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.640 we get along in the week how he looks, how 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.560 he feels, and whether or not he's ready and he 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.039 feels he can perform and he's gonna be safe. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:04:58.800 Do you feel like, you know the orders give you 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.880 guys are over the cost or is he sort of 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.160 didn't go and forward? 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:05.120 He certainly has. Uh, he's played very well. I mean 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.040 obviously that catch is the run. Uh, he's he's he's 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.080 a he's he's something. You know, I really appreciate it 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:11.479 with what we thought he was gonna be when he 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:13.360 came in, he's been. He's been all that and more. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.320 And now we have to figure out the roster gymnastics 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.320 of all that right now. Also that combines with the 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.559 injuries and things like that. So uh, Eric be working 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:24.080 on that and trying to do the math on that. 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:28.160 I think you guys have been one of the best 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:31.920 stepends of the journey. Yeah, not giving up those intermediates. 0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:34.160 I know say that you guys have been on that 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.080 at those best teams, not giving up and pass like 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.520 intermediate and he throws. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:39.159 I know. 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.120 The emphasis with Mike has been like a Noxio soccer 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.600 communication in the back end. Have you seen that kind 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:46.560 of playoffs? I'm obviously film is one thing. 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:47.800 Which to kind of be on it. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.360 The part just field, I'm on our game dangers hearing 0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:50.880 guys talking. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.400 Oh yeah, I mean, that's that's something that is a staple. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:57.440 I mean, that's a staple, uh, principle in football and 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.760 in life. You know, maybe not obnoxious in life, but 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:03.200 certainly of noxes on a football field when you've got 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.560 seventy five thousand fans screaming their lungs out to try 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.120 to impede your communication. And that's what we've got to 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.120 be able to do. And I think the guys have 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.520 done a really good job of it, but we can 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.200 get a lot better. It's week four, so you know, 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.400 week five is another chapter and you've got to be 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.400 better than you were the week before, for sure. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.120 So that's what we keep chasing. 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:22.240 Odell and. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:25.800 Were shot back being back out there. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:31.960 How does that change the dynamic of things for you guys? 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:32.320 Uh? 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.200 Well, I mean it's two more really good players, you know, 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.480 and in terms of what you can do, what they're 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.560 capable of doing, the fact that you've got some more 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:41.560 guys out there with who are fast and talented than 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:42.800 you had previously. 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.760 I think it kind of speaks for itself. 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.640 Specifically, you find out when you get there, you know 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.600 that's that's kind of how it goes. You have to 0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:51.960 play the games on Sunday to really know the answer 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:52.800 to a question like that. 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:54.920 A great thanks. 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.599 That was that coach John Harbaugh. We also talked with 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.000 inside linebacker Patrick Quayens having a terrific season this year. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.719 He talked about his mindset going into this game in Pittsburgh. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:09.640 Someone that has said. 0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:12.160 Before that you relished playing an enemy territory. There's something 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.320 a little after this sets you still try to ring. Uh. 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:16.239 Yeah, uh. 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.280 Anytime you know, you join this organization and they talk 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.320 about this game, it's the game that defines you and 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:24.840 makes you a raven. And uh when I was on 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:27.200 my SI on their sideline my rookie year, Mike Tomlin 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.880 was looking at me, s yelling at me, You're not 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.480 a raven, You're not a raven y R. You're not 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:33.520 supposed to be there, You're not You're not one of them. 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.920 So every time I play them in something personal that 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:43.000 with you, Yeah, definitely did, definitely did. I don't care 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.800 if he was joking. I don't care if he was serious. 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:46.320 At the end of the day, I don't on your 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.080 sideline you're telling me I'm not a raven. It's kind 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:48.760 of disrespectful. 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.560 So do you think it's not that not everything playing 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:53.280 you go in any. 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.920 Yeah, I just cause at that point it's like, I like, 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.200 I never even told you anything, like you just coming 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:00.800 at me. So I mean, at from that point on, 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:02.520 it was just it is what it is. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:02.760 You know. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.000 That's kind of like, Uh, you know, if you played them, 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:08.040 you were talking about how you know you feel you 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:08.360 weren't a. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.480 Ray of it until you get the Steelers rightly did so? 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.800 Uh are you ready to just even the numbers? 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:14.240 Yeah? 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.880 Uh your matchups against them definitely.

You think, yeah, definitely, it definitely pissed him off. 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.520 It definitely did. 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.240 You're uh here a quarterway to the season or we 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:25.520 battled through a lot of development, Uh. 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.280 Pressure throughout It just where you feeling right now. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.560 On in this season, still trying to improve. 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:32.880 Uh, I feel like my game there's another level to 0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:36.120 a lot I feel like we're just getting started, and 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:38.560 you know, I I'm just trying to be great. I'm 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.640 trying to come in every day focus getting better one 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.520 day at a time. I'm not tryna look too much 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.520 into the future. Uh, even though there's goals that I 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.720 wanna reach, I'm just really just focused on being one 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:48.679 percent better each day. 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:51.440 I Thrick you mentioned, you. 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.160 Know, rose influence on here and so far since you 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:56.920 got here, A curious could you see your Davy in it? 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.880 And Uh, probably way in the way I do. I 0:09:58.920 --> 0:09:59.560 know he's got here. 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:01.040 What do you see. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:04.360 From those guys that stands down to you? Uh? What 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:05.800 uh clowney? 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.800 You really see like the intensity that he plays with 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:10.040 every play, the aggression that he plays with, how physical 0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:12.480 he is, uh, how fast he closes in on the 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.920 attack point and with k what kV is, Just how 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.280 smart he is, Uh coming in the first day knowing 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.120 is that exactly what to do on all his jobs, 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.800 talking about certain players that he's about to see. Uh, 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.319 just you know how well he communicated the first time 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.320 he was out there. So Uh, it's two different things 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:29.840 that you get from both of them, but you still 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.760 get a concept of things that they do well, and uh, 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.560 just seeing those two guys, two guys that you look 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.319 up I looked up to, playing playing the sport, just 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.520 watching them do what they do and be great and just. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:42.000 Trying to really fall in they path. 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.400 Patrick Hill with Marylin going down early and Marcus doing 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:47.480 down early. But what do you think the perception was 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.679 of this secondary and what do you think Pats show 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.079 in the past three or fourth weeks? 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:52.320 Now we knew our guys catball. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.280 Uh, I think when you look at the outside world, 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.720 the outside world look at obviously it's Marlin and Marcus, 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.319 you know, going down, But uh, we got faith in 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.320 the guys that we got and they wouldn't be here 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.920 if we knew they couldn't play. So any time we 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.320 stepped on the field with our eleven, we know we 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:06.240 got faking in each other. 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.280 And you guy think, uh, you know, I talked to 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.280 you and there was all these injuries happening, and you 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:13.480 had really how's it down? Kind of the opposite. How's 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:17.000 it feel when you know you're getting back Marlin Odell Baiting, 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:18.320 How how's it do when you get these. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:18.839 Guys coming back? 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.480 It's definitely confidence boost But at the same time, you know, uh, 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.280 we going out there with the same game plan, doing 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.360 the same thing we've been doing, and just trying to 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.480 up at the notch, and uh, you know, getting those 0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:29.840 guys back is a huge plus. But like I said, 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:31.040 the guys that we had in there, I felt like 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:32.960 we did good with them, and I feel like they 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:34.960 you know, they stepped up to the plate and there 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:36.640 was there's not gonna be no drop off at all. 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:38.040 Did better. 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.000 If there's a a lot of talk the fourth year 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:43.240 of guys just kind of how competitive this a snooda 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.840 for quarterbacks. Joe Burrow maar, you know they could sending 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.560 wants going back. Ex What do you kind of make 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.000 of things right now? It's seems like the Mars at 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:53.400 the top of the rest is kind of in transition almost. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.840 Uh, it's just a tough division as a whole. I 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.440 think you look at every position, every position got great players, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.520 and I think that's just what makes each ain't so tough. Uh, 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.640 minus the rivalry is just each position is loaded with talent. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.600 And when you look at each player that's in the division, 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.760 you look at the quarterbacks and the talent that's around 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.280 those quarterbacks that make them better. So think, uh, all 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:14.480 the t quarterbacks in our division are great quarterbacks. They're 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.680 obviously on the teams for a reason, starting on those 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.560 teams for a reason, and they got the guys around 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:20.240 'em that we gotta go play against every day. And 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.439 I honestly think it's the toughest division in football. I 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.040 honestly if you aks me, but yeah, that's how I feel. 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.320 Patrick d It's it's one game of the time. 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.760 But do you feel like the the locker room kind 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:33.959 of is the natitude of if you beat at the port, 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.040 you you sweep all your AFC uprop games. 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:36.880 Uh. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.320 I mean, honestly, we just trying to be one to notice. 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:40.839 We were not looking too much in the future. Like 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:42.880 I said, we were focused on get being one percent better. 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.200 L Like I said, it's tough. It's tough to go 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:49.320 in there. I'm you look at my record. That's why 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:51.320 I'm focused on this week. Just getting better as a player, 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:53.040 getting better on the defense, looking back at the past 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:54.640 things that we did wrong, and just getting better from 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.120 those things so that way we could go in there 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:57.840 and get this one and then you know, start talking 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:58.360 about the future. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:58.800 At that point. 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.719 It is a calitary that's Najie Harris runs with does 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.840 that kind of add to the rivalry and the physicality 0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:05.800 of this game overall? 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.640 I think anytime you playing a great player like him, uh, 0:13:08.840 --> 0:13:10.120 you want to try to get out there him. And 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.760 obviously when he goes, their team goals man and when 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.160 you show him down, their team shuts down. So the 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.040 big focus is definitely stopping twenty two. 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.640 That was linebacker Patrick Queen. We also talked with tight 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.400 end Mark Andrews Is coming off a two touchdown game 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.200 last week in Cleveland. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.640 When you when you're getting guys back, like you know, 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.280 Oto Marlon Days, how's it feeling you. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:35.880 Get it feels great? 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.400 You know obviously you know some of these guys that 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.760 are coming back are special players and can help this offense. 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:44.200 And you know it's exciting to. 0:13:44.160 --> 0:13:46.240 Be able to have all those guys back and be 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.679 full throttle and you know, watch these guys make plays. 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:51.520 You know, we talked about Lamar and the type of 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.360 player that he is, and you're surrounded with you know, 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.160 the other guys outside like that that's special. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.120 Chal have have. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.719 H those guys are you know, ballplayers are dogs.
