1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: So what do you think awakes defensive? I love it. 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: He's a brilliant mind. I think he's creative and he's 3 00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: doing something different all the time, you know. And then 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: the way he kind of put it together, you know, 5 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: he simplified it for the players, which I think is 6 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: most important, because you can be real creative, but the 7 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: players can't grasp it, and that makes it tough. I 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: probably myself, I'm being very, very versatile. I could play 9 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: a lot of places I couldn't drop because I don't 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: know weakness. I could drop yet, you know, I much 11 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: rather prefer going forward, though once a while, you know, 12 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: drop me back and covers it might catch pick. You 13 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: got three of my career. You do have three. I 14 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: are gonna have to fake minutes. So I'm just saying, 15 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: you know, well, you talk about kind of mentoring the 16 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: young guys. Did you see Lamar's beach football about jumping? 17 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: I think he got scolded enough by by the coaches. 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge. We have the pleasure today, Garrett, 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: of being joined by Clais Campbell. Now we've already had 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: Clais on the pod. This is the second time in 21 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: like three months something like that we had him on 22 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: at the start of coron of of of coronavirus and 23 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: we all went into lockdown. He was one of our 24 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: first guests. So now we're just rolling right through the 25 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: rolodex the second time. Well, at the time, it was like, 26 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: we'll probably see you in person in a couple of weeks, 27 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: Clarissa to meet you, uh, you know over over video here. 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: We'll see you in person a couple of weeks. Obviously 29 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: that's not been the case, but you know, that first 30 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: week it was just basically all about why he signed. 31 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 1: And now we have there's been a lot that's happened, uh, 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: And we'll be gonna get his his perspective about the 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: upcoming season and meeting his new teammates and and how 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: that's gone. Virtually. I'm kind of curious to get his 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: perspective on just what it's like as a leader to 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: come into a new place and then not actually be 37 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: able to meet anyone in person. That's a bit of 38 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: a weird dynamic. But before we welcome in Clais, I 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: want everyone to know that if you've been reading the reports, 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: you know Ram Trucks or Motor trends back to back 41 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: truck of the Year, the Ram fifteen hundred is the 42 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: top pick with an available heavy V eight engine e 43 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: torque hybrid technology and a twelve inch touch screen.

Kleis happy to have you for a 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: second time. Man, you were like lounge royalty at this point. 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: Although we brought up before we before we called you up, 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: you know, we brought up that we probably last time 55 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: when we had you on shortly after you signed. We're like, 56 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: all right, man, well you know we'll see in the 57 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: facility and probably not too long. You know, I can't 58 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: wait to meet you in person on that one. Who 59 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: knows what it's going to be, hopefully sooner or later, 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: because like this team got a chest to be special, 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: So I can't wait to get to work. Yeah for sure, 62 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: for sure. Well let's let's start off. I mean, I 63 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: want to talk about just how weird it's been this 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: offseason for a guy who joins a new team to 65 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: do this all virtually, you know, and and a leader 66 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: on the team, not just you know, you're not just 67 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: some guy, you know. I mean you're a leader on 68 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: this team and to do that virtually, how do you 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: How do you do that? I mean, honestly, you know, 70 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: there's not much you can do right now, just trying 71 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: to you know, bring the guys together. You know. I 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 1: think the culture did a really good job of keeping 73 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the meetings kind of for you know, asking questions different players, 74 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: get a chance for everybody to know each other. Uh. 75 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: And then they brought in good speakers and stuff, and 76 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: so that was cool. But essentially, I mean the biggest 77 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: thing is just you know, uh, you know, just trying 78 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: to do the best I can, you know, showing up 79 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: every day and you know, being prepared and as my questions. 80 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: You know, I guess the number one way to will 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 1: be a leaders will lead by example. Do you feel 82 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: like you know your new teammates yet? Like there's because 83 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: it's hard We've all been in these video conference calls. 84 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: It's hard to have any conversations, and so much of 85 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: the time it's the conversations that you have at lunch 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: or in the locker room where you really build those 87 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: those bonds of this friendships. Like do you feel like 88 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: you know the guys, particularly ones that you didn't have 89 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: any relationship with before, Uh, you know, get traded to Baltimore. Yeah, 90 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: I mean I've gotten to know guys better than I 91 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: did before, but not to the level of that I 92 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: would like to. But there's enough time, you know, as 93 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 1: long as we're in the building, you know, I feel 94 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: like we'd be able to build a bond. But uh, 95 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: I mean obviously, you know, being in the building, you know, 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: getting to lunch time, getting there early, you know, leaving, 97 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: walking out together. I mean, that's what those relationships are 98 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: really made. And uh, you know, not having that this year, 99 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: you know, it makes it a little more complicated. At 100 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: the same time, you know, you gotta use what's at 101 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: your disposal to get what you want. And so you know, 102 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: I've had a couple of phone conversations with a couple 103 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: of guys and stuff like that. So you know, I 104 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: feel like we're building a bond, just it's different, right, right, Well, 105 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: so what's it been like in the virtual meetings, Like, 106 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: how do you feel like you're picking up this defense 107 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: coming into it and having to learn it all in 108 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: this really unique way. Oh well, I mean, uh, you 109 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: have to go over a couple of times, you know, 110 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: And I've always been a fairly quick study, and I 111 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: think my experience plays a big row. I feel bad 112 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: for the rookies and some of the younger guys who 113 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: who have to learn a new system because that that 114 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: the men uniqles reps, you know, walk through reps and like, 115 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, I mean everybody learns different. You know. All 116 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: we have right now is kind of you know, a 117 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: screen and you know, somebody talking to you. So it's 118 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: kind of tough. But I will say that I think 119 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: I have a good grasp on the defense. I feel 120 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: like I have a good grasp of how the coaches 121 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: want to use me rock can add value. So I'm 122 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 1: pretty excided, but pretty young guys, and I feel real 123 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: terrible for them. Yeah. We're actually talking to Robert Griffin 124 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 1: the other day and he was saying, just like, man, 125 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: I love these rookies. I love the guy. Like he's 126 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: been working out with a couple of guys He's like, 127 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: I think they're great players, but to expect something from 128 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: him this year, like a big impact, like that's asking 129 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: a lot give in the time loss. Do you kind 130 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: of sense the same thing whatever doubt. I mean, I've 131 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: always kind of been one of those guys where like 132 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 1: you might get one rookie you know, maybe too if 133 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: you know, if they just developed fast. But I don't 134 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: really like depending on rookies that I have to. But 135 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: then there comes a couple of guys around that, you know, 136 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: who are special, and I'm hoping that we have a 137 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: couple of guys like that who are gonna play well 138 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: force this year. But this is gonna be more complicated 139 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: than usual, you know, But I think they got the juice. 140 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: They got the juice, so I don't think you know this, 141 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: uh you know, ot a period was gonna hold them 142 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: up too much if they got it so well. In 143 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: terms of those rookies. So the last time we talked 144 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: to you, it was right after UK to Baltimore is 145 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: in March, and then in April they go and use 146 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: a couple of early draft picks on linebackers. It just 147 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: seems like this off season the defense with you and 148 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: Wolf and those linebackers. It's just and it was the 149 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: top five defense last year, has taken a big leap, 150 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: certainly on paper, from from where they were last year. 151 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: Are you just really fired up about what this defense 152 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: can do, knowing with the additions that View and Derek 153 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: and then the young guys in this group overall, Yeah, 154 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we have to find time to jail. 155 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: You know, this whole offseason is gonna you know, we 156 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: probably have to. It's qubably gonna build as we go 157 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: along and hopefully play best ball towards the end of 158 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: the season. But I think I do think that we 159 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: have enough experience coming in with Wolf and myself where 160 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, we've been around, so I think we should 161 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: be able to go pretty fast. But I do think 162 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: with the rookies, you know, if they have to step 163 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: in and play right away, which I think is going 164 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: to be the case from you watch interviews and stuff, 165 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: and they're pretty smart. You know, you can tell that 166 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: they're picking up things fast, but they're still rookies and 167 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: so you know, I give them time to mature and 168 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 1: so you know, hopefully you know, you know, week seven 169 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: week they're playing you know, great ball, you know, to 170 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: expecting me great a week one. You know, that would 171 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: be very very lucky, you know. I mean they might 172 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: be one of the best draft picks in all time, 173 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: that's the case. But I'm hoping. But I do think 174 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: that you know, this defense has a lot of good 175 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: pieces and we've been there for a long time. Uh 176 00:07:58,080 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: you know guys who have who have played, you know, 177 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: weincaster as according I gotta fill for him, and uh 178 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: so I feel like that was definitely gonna be you 179 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 1: know this We're gonna be a great defense, you know, 180 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: but I do want to make sure that we take 181 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: it one day at a time and earn our stripes. 182 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: You know, we can't just you know, expect to show 183 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: up and you know teams are gonna respect it. Switch 184 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: to earn each and every day. What do you think 185 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: of wings defense? And you said, you know how you 186 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: know you have a good idea how they're going to 187 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: use them. That means you know you're lining up why 188 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: just getting getting after the quarterback? Right? It's full time 189 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: place get after we want to pad the sack numbers, right? 190 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: Is that I like to I probably myself. I'm being 191 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: very very versatile. I can put a lot of places 192 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, I do think that, you know, that adds 193 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: value in the in the heavy type of scheme, because 194 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: then you can put me in different positions. You know, 195 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: I even I can drop, you know, I don't know 196 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: if Winkings I could drop yet, but you know, I 197 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: much rather prefer going forward. Though every once in a while, 198 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: you know, drop me back in coverage, I might catch 199 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: a pick. I do got three of my career. You 200 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,560 Speaker 1: do have three? Huh. Yeah, you know I'm gonna have 201 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: to Payton manute. So I'm just saying, you know, there's 202 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: a lot of safeties and corners that played a long time. 203 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: Never inter said to Payton Manning, So you got something 204 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 1: on it. Yeah. I never sacked him though he was 205 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: the one guy on my list of those great that 206 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: I didn't get the sack. So I guess I got 207 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: took the consolation prize. So what do you think of 208 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: Winks defensive? I love it, you know, Uh, I think 209 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: that uh you know, he's he's a brilliant mind. Uh 210 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, he understands how to you how to put 211 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: his players in position to be successful. Uh. You know, 212 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: I think he's creative, you know, So, I mean, you know, 213 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: when you started put on the tape and he's doing 214 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 1: something different all the time, you know, and then the 215 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: way he kind of put it together, you know, he 216 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: simplifly simplified it for the players, which I think is 217 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: most important because you can be real creative, but if 218 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: the players can't grasp it, and that makes it tough. 219 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: So I think that the real art is how he 220 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: made it where we can understand it and be able 221 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: to go out there and execute it. So, you know, 222 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: it's a great defense. I'm decided to go out there 223 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: and try to make Wink, you know, uh, try to 224 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: try to pack his stance a little bit for him. 225 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: So you said at the top that part of the 226 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: reason you're you want to get to work and get 227 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: the season started is because you feel like this team 228 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,719 Speaker 1: has the chance to be something special. And there's a 229 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: million different reasons why we all want football to come 230 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: back and and have a season and all that. We're 231 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: all keeping our fingers crossed. Everything moves in that direction. 232 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: But is there a sense in your mind that you 233 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: just want to be part of the reason that you 234 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: want to play so badly is because you feel like 235 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: this is a team like you. You're in Baltimore, to 236 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, Like that's you've talked about that before, 237 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Like you feel like this team could do what you 238 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: want to do it, uh, And that's how I feel 239 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: like we I want to make sure we have a 240 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: season because this team could be so good. And it 241 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: sounds like you kind of feel the same way. Yeah, 242 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: without a doubt, you know, I feel like, you know, 243 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: it would be very uh you know, bad fortunate if 244 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: we don't get to finish the season, you know, because 245 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: of COVID. If we can follow the rules and lock 246 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: in and be able to have a full complete season. 247 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: You know, I feel like the team that we that 248 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,359 Speaker 1: that you know, both Wavings have built, has every opportunity 249 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: to be a Super Bowl champ, you know, on the 250 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: win at all, and it will be a shame if, 251 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, if opportunities wasted, you know. So for me, 252 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: you know, I really want to take advantage of this year. 253 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: You know. But the hard part is is that you know, 254 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: you got what you know, six cented players and really 255 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: usually it's about two thousand players a year, you know 256 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: who are on the team. You know are on a 257 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: team at some point in time throughout the season, and 258 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: you have to kind of all those guys to you know, 259 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: follow the rules and to you know, uh you know 260 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: me make sure they you know, pretty much separating from 261 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: people and trying to keep the locker room safe to 262 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: get through the whole season. And that's the scary part 263 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: because you know, it's really gonna be an honor system. 264 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: But we have to do what we have to do 265 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 1: and we're gonna try and hopefully we can get to 266 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: the whole season and go out there and when it's 267 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: all said done, I kissed that Lombardi trophy. Man, that's 268 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: to go. Well, you you have a ten week old 269 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: baby at your first child, so you're not going anywhere anyway, right, Well, me, 270 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about me too much. But 271 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: I mean he's not so, but you do have you know, 272 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: dads who have kids who are in school that you 273 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: have to worry about. You know, sometimes mom works and 274 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: that the house, uh you know, and then sometimes guys 275 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: just want to go out to a restaurant or the 276 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: guys who are single and they you know, have you know, 277 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: you have to whoever you you know, if you have 278 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: a friend that comes by, you have to worry about 279 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: wherever they've been, you know, so to me. It's kind 280 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: of a it's gonna be a lot to move aparts, 281 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: but hopefully we can make it work because I feel 282 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: like this year could be very very special. Do do 283 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: you guys do any enforcing of each other like players, like, 284 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: you know, mandatory masks for zoom meetings, just to get 285 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: into habit of it. That's a good idea, you know. 286 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: I think that we're gonna have to really police each other, 287 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: hold each other accountable, you know, and be there for 288 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: our teammates because you know, essentially, if one guy gets 289 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: sick and he gets into the locker room, he can 290 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: affect the whole the whole season. So I think that's uh, 291 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: you know, this is the ultimate sacrifice for the team, 292 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: for the greater good, you know kind of situations. So 293 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: for us to have to go out there and play football, 294 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: guys have to put a woman's sacrifice. Is that something 295 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: that you feel like needs to be said to players, 296 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: young players on the team or it does? Yeah, I mean, 297 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm I'm, I'm you know, cut from the cloth of 298 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: repetition over and over again, you know, saying all the time, speaking, 299 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, so you can remember yourself. I mean before 300 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: every player, I'm thinking about you know, my assignment. What 301 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: I have to do a equote in my mind. So 302 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's the same thing, especially young guys. 303 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: And just keep reminded, you know, sacrifice for a team. 304 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: You know, do what's required so we go out here 305 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: and and and and win football games. Want to be honest, 306 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this season, you know, as long as it 307 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: kicks off and everything goes as we expect. I mean, heck, 308 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: the last the last team standing might just be the team. 309 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: It's just as much about talent as it is player availability. 310 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I mean if you're you could 311 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: be a great team, and if you have one guy, 312 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: one important player gets sick, then you know the worst 313 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: team might beat you. So I mean that's that's a 314 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 1: huge part of the equation this year. I agree, you 315 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: know it really is. Uh yeah, I mean you have 316 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: to like this year might be one of those years 317 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: where a guy players close. You want to get the 318 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: more responsible one. You know, even if come down to 319 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: get into that three roster, you know what, it's close, 320 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 1: you had to get the one who's more most responsible. 321 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 1: You know, hopefully guys will all lock in and this 322 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: year will be different than most. I mean hopefully it 323 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: will be a one year thing where we all have 324 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: to sacrifice and then we go back to normal life 325 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: next season. Yeah, let's have so we want to talk. 326 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you about that ten week go. Now, 327 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: how how's fatherhood going for you? It's been incredible. You know, 328 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: I've been on top of the moon, you know, just 329 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: to join every day. You know, I think that's one 330 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: of the few blessings in the skies from this whole 331 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: situation is I get to be at home and watch 332 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: him grow. You know, I still gonna get my workout 333 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: in and do everything, but when I come home, I 334 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: could just you know, sit here. And I mean every 335 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: day he's getting bigger and bigger. He's probably gonna be 336 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: as big as me. And if you want, that was 337 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: my next question. Yeah, he's strong and he's look, he's 338 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a great athlete. So uh, following the death 339 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: footsteps and you know, maybe one day he played for 340 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: the Raisins. Were you were you a big baby? You 341 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: know I was. I was always considered you know, like 342 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: I remember my mom told me when I was three, 343 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: I told people I was six, and everybody believed her 344 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: because I was as big as six year olds. It 345 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: was the same you know before, but I mean he's 346 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: literally like bigger than got the kids that are six months. Okay, 347 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 1: when he was born, he wasn't he was twenty one inches, 348 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: but he was skinny. He was he was never pounds 349 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: of five ounces. I think because my wife is so small, uh, 350 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: you know, he didn't develop as much. But now he's 351 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, sixteen pounds. It's you know, what what what 352 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: jobs are you on? Like what night shift you onta 353 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: I might change a couple of diapers, you know. Uh, 354 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: my wife is breastfeeding, so I kind of get out 355 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: of all the heavy lifting, you know. I'll check out 356 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: him from time to time, but I get to do 357 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: all the fun stuff, you know. I get to you know, 358 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: go on the floor, play with him, give him some 359 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: penny time, and all that good stuff. But all the 360 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: left him and my wife a superwoman. A lot of 361 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: times we guys have kids for the first time to 362 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: talk about how it changes their viewpoint, changes the perspective, 363 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: changes their values.

It's like 365 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 1: you you needed to change your perspective or value. But 366 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: I am curious how how it has shifted just the 367 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: way you see the world or how you see football 368 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: at all of that.

They just said no, you know, 458 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: because I have a lot of friends who are a 459 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: black court just like me, you know, my brothers just 460 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: like me, you know, And I don't think I'm you know, 461 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: much different at all, you know what I mean. I 462 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: feel like I'm just you know, uh, you know, average 463 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 1: average guy, you know that's working really hard to be 464 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,439 Speaker 1: you know, you know, great at football and to you know, 465 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: make a difference in the world.

You know. I 481 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, uh, you know, there's always been 482 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the circles where I have 483 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: black friends, who would you know, we all we have 484 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: these conversations all the time, you know, since I was young, 485 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: we've had conversations about racism. But now, you know, and 486 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 1: I've had a few now a whole lot more conversations 487 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: with my white friends, who are you know, not asking 488 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 1: what they can do, and not only what they can do, 489 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 1: but they're given you know, uh, you know, great insight 490 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: on different things that can be done, you know, And 491 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: I think that's that's very powerful, because you know, I 492 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: have some friends who are very very smart and uh 493 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: and very very capable of doing great things, and so 494 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: you know, I've been you know, leaning on them for 495 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: advice on how to you know, how to get positive change, 496 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's gonna it's gonna take some time, 497 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: but I feel like That's what's encouraging about right now 498 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: is that we have a lot more people who are 499 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: not black, course speaking up for issues for some of 500 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: the question that black people are experients. And I feel like, 501 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: you know, the NFL has that strong responsibility seeing how 502 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: that you know, any percent of the product of the 503 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: players are African American and so, you know, I feel 504 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,919 Speaker 1: like the NFL ownership has to you know, uh, you know, 505 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: continue to tell our stories and and uh, you know, 506 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: change the stigma on black people as a whole. Yeah, well, 507 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: I think it was awesome. One thing that you recently 508 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: did was donating a lot of laptops to Baltimore City schools. Uh, 509 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: you know, two kids who needed those laptops to continue 510 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: to learn online during COVID nineteen. I mean, it's kind 511 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: of like two birds with one stone, right, I mean, 512 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: you're helping kids on the COVID front. You're helping and 513 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: you're helping kids that really, I mean, COVID is kind 514 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 1: of exposing even more so the disparities that we have 515 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: in our society, and uh, can you just talk about 516 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: a little bit about that and why you felt so 517 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: impassion to do that specifically? Yeah, you know what I 518 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: mean I've got a lot of you know, plans to 519 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: do a lot of stuff in Baltimore, and um, you know, 520 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: I've been working with my team and trying to figure 521 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: out the best way to be efficient, to help the 522 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 1: most people in the best way. And uh with the computers, 523 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 1: you know, laptimes. I think that was you know, I 524 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: mean just you know, like you said, Uh, the COVID 525 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: situation opened up a lot of issues that you know 526 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: a lot of kids are experiencing. And so you know, 527 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: doing the laptops is that's easy, you know because essentially, 528 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,239 Speaker 1: you know, there are kids out there who have to 529 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 1: work remotely from home, but they don't have the tools 530 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: to go out there and do it. So you know, 531 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: arm and the kids with with the tools. That's that 532 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: was number one. You know. I've also you know, done 533 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: it to help small businesses you know, who are who 534 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: are struggling, you know, trying trying to survive during this 535 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: time where they don't not get a lot of business. Uh. 536 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: You know, I've I've you know, all kinds of plans 537 00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: and stuff I want to do in the near a 538 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,880 Speaker 1: few you know, but you know, it really just comes 539 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: down to having a great team around me and just 540 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: leaning on them and uh and trying to partner with 541 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 1: the white people you know, uh. And so essentially I 542 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: feel like, uh, you know, the only way to really 543 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: make a difference in as world as slaves up and 544 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: and and you know, putting you know, swack, it's what 545 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: UPU the so putting resources you know up and uh 546 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: and essentially right now, since you can't be there, you 547 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: know daily, you know, are making a difference. You know, 548 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: it's it's easier to you know, put some money up 549 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: and uh and put in the right places. But you 550 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: know you should expect, you know, continue to expect more 551 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: things from me, you know. I you know, big goals 552 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: to help help help a lot of people, you know, uh, 553 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: But that the end of the day, you know, just 554 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: one day at a time. So you've been helping. You've 555 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: been involved in the community throughout your career and helped 556 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: people in the different cities that you played. And obviously 557 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: when you're when you're going to a new team, the 558 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: first thing that you're thinking about is football and excelling 559 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: that area. But I am curious, were you excited about 560 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: the fact that when you come to Baltimore, it's a 561 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: city that has a reputation actually that it needs some 562 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: sports um and and having lived in the city, it 563 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: certainly does. But was that part of your excitement or 564 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: was that something that you were excited about and motivated 565 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: about that you can't do a city where you felt 566 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: like needs help and that you could provide it. Yeah, 567 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: you know, Now, obviously I only do so much, and 568 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like, you know, I wish I 569 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: could do so much more, you know, But at the 570 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 1: same time, you know, I feel like there's you know, 571 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: I have a lot of value to add. The hard part. 572 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: We're going to a new city though, and going to 573 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: a new team, and so much of my time is 574 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: going to have to go into trying to be the 575 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: best fall player I can be, you know, especially with 576 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: all the new things that trying to you know, literally 577 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: you know, learn a new playbook and trying to you know, 578 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: get to know my teammates and to be able to 579 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 1: you know, do all the stuff I need to do 580 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: to be able to play football in high level. Is 581 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna take away for some stuff I do in the community. 582 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: This first year. I think the second years, who I 583 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: probably make you know, a lot more strides, But I 584 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: do want to you know. I mean I think that 585 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: you know, as I got an older, I've learned how 586 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: to do things more efficiently. And I think now is 587 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: partnering with people who are already doing a great job 588 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: and just adding resources, you know, at an exposure and 589 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,960 Speaker 1: then uh, you know, putting in some time. But I 590 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 1: think in your tools where I would probably make the 591 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 1: most difference, where I can really learn the city and 592 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: figure out where I can have value and just you know, 593 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: I spend some time. But essentially, uh, you know, I'm 594 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,399 Speaker 1: very excited because Baltimore is a place that has a 595 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: lot of kids who need help, a lot of people 596 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: who need help, and uh, you know, just to me, 597 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: I feel like when people need help, I mean, that's 598 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: when it's easy to step in and do something. You know, 599 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: when you can see it, you know, it's right there 600 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: in front of your face. So you brought up the 601 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: football thing, we and we don't want to get back 602 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 1: to that, so I don't want to ask you some 603 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: more football questions here too. Uh But but I'm curious 604 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: from you. Uh so you you since you joined the book, 605 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: since you join the Ravens, what have your impressions been 606 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: of Lamar? I know you met him at the Pro Bowl. 607 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure, But what do you think of him now 608 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: that you've met virtually at least you know, he's hungry, 609 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the guy is uh, he's very 610 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 1: gifted and uh, you know, he's a hard worker, you know. 611 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 1: I think that's one of the things that I think, 612 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, kind of goes underrated on the national scale. 613 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, he's probably one of the hardest 614 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: working people in the whole NFL, you know what I mean. 615 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: He wants to be the best, and he has a 616 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: big chip on the shoulder and he's driven, you know. 617 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: And I haven't had a lot of interactions with him, 618 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: uh you know so far this season, you know, with 619 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 1: the oustge program. But in my few times I've really 620 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: talked to him, you know, I just see a guy 621 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: who who wants who wants it all, you know, who's 622 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: willing to pay the price to get it all. And 623 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: to me, I mean that gets me inside it because 624 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: he's he has the gifts, you know, when he comes 625 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: down to you know, really sharpening those tools and making 626 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: them the best they can be so he can go 627 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 1: out there and perform on Sundays. And he has great 628 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: instincts you know. I mean I've seen him last year 629 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 1: when we when I practice against Baltimore in the preseason 630 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: and seeing them make throws from the pocket and just 631 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: doing that. You know that the growth he's made from 632 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 1: year one to year two, I can't wait to see 633 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: the growth down year three. Well, you talk about kind 634 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,679 Speaker 1: of mentoring the young guys. Did you see Lamar's beach 635 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: football and did you say anything to him about that 636 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: place about jumping over? I figured he got scolded enough 637 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: by by the coaches, you know, but you know, seeing 638 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: that definitely is like, you know, we gotta be a 639 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: more smarter than that. You know, definitely, you know you 640 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: avoided some serious harm there. But you know, we don't 641 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: even cut it that close. You know. But that's of 642 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: grown up, you know. And I mean he still as 643 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: a young man and he's gonna grow and mature a lot. 644 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 1: And that's that's gonna be fun to see because you know, 645 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: he's just scratching the surface of how good he can be. 646 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he has a lot of room for growth 647 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: and you know, hopefully he grows a lot. Well, you 648 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 1: you said that you can tell he's just driven and 649 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: hard working, Like how can you I'm interested to hear 650 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: what is it about the conversations you've had with him 651 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: and make you feel like, oh man, this guy wants 652 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: to go win it Like he is motivated and he's 653 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: he's determined to go get it done. Yeah. I mean 654 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: you could just tell by the way, you know, he 655 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 1: shows up and is prepared, you know, the way he communicates, 656 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, to look at his eyes. Really, I feel 657 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: like the look at the eyes is probably the best 658 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: way to tell what guys were about, you know, because 659 00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: I mean I feel like the lies, you know, you 660 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: really are the Lapso guys we look in his eyes. 661 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: But to me, I just felt like, you know, I 662 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: see a guy who was, uh, you know, who's who's 663 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 1: hungry and has a chip on the shoulder. And so 664 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: I mean, I guess it's kind of hard to explain, 665 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: you know, and I hope I'm right. I think I am. 666 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: The time we will we should see. Hey, I'm curious 667 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: one thing place before we let you go? Where are 668 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 1: you and how do you go through moving a family 669 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: to get ready for a season when there's so much uncertainty? 670 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: It's been unique. Uh it's hard to go and find 671 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: places with everything going on right now. So I'm currently 672 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: still in Jacksonville. Um, you know, uh, I thought I 673 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: had a place in balls were lined up, but you know, 674 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: I'm still searching for a place actually. So there's a 675 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: couple of options. So I mean, we'll get one you 676 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: know here pretty soon. But essentially I got to depend 677 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: on other people to help out, you know, especially like 678 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: my wife having a baby boy. I feel kind of bad, 679 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: but our parents are gonna come down and hope and uh, 680 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, and you get you know, movers on got 681 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: good stuff.

But you 686 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: know I can handle it. You know, it's it's gonna be, 687 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: uh you know, just something to do. Did you tell 688 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: the seller's agent that you're Klass Campbell? Did that come 689 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 1: off at all? Yeah? I try.
