WEBVTT - Starks, Green, Peebles & Harbaugh: Ravens 2025 Rookie Minicamp Press Conferences 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:06.040 Welcome to the Ravens Press Past Podcast. Today is Sunday, 0:00:06.120 --> 0:00:08.280 May fourth, and today we got to see the rookies 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.800 on the field for the first time. After practice, we 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:12.520 heard from head coach John Harwall. 0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:18.720 So off to a good start, as you can see 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:22.560 a lot of guys here, well over sixty players for 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:25.159 the rookie mini camp. At levels you go from the 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:29.400 draft choices to the undrafted signed free agents to the 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.320 tryout guys, and the tryout guys is since when you 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:34.640 were doing it. It's we've got a lot more guys 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:36.239 now in the tryout deal than we used to have. 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:38.080 Maybe maybe he had that at one time, Vinnie, I 0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.200 don't know it. You bringing a ton too. The Cowboys 0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.280 used to bring like two hundred guys a training camp. Right, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.200 we're not quite there, but but these guys are great 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.720 guys who are looking for a shot month the opportunity, 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.760 and you know, we're here to provide an opportunity and 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:53.840 see how they do. And I was really pleased with 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:58.120 the first practice. Just told him, I said, I said, no, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:00.360 you know you came in here. Your your football player. 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:02.440 You know, on you once you make your first tackle, 0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.319 your first block. My dad always used to say, when 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.880 you do that, whatever level you might be, in third grade, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:09.959 you make your first tackle, you're a football player, so 0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.440 my dad says, and you'll always be a football player. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.240 These guys come in to your football players. But now 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:18.120 after this practice, they can call home, call their mom, 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:23.199 their dad, their girlfriend, their brother, whoever, their buddy, and say, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.959 now I am a pro football player. I'm a pro 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.759 football player. Because they're a little nervous. It's the first 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.319 practice ever, you know, in a pro field. What's it 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.760 going to be like, and it's just it's rookies the 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.119 next phases in front of them. But it's a big 0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.360 step for these guys and it means a lot to them. 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.559 They had a really good practice. It was clean, didn't 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.440 have a lot of mistakes, didn't have a lot of 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.720 pre snap issues, didn't have anything that was you know, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.160 out of line with the temple of the practice. Guys 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.680 are on their feet, taking care one another, still practicing, 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:54.400 rehearsing quickly and fast and getting things right. So it's 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.680 a smart group of guys. So we feel really good 0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.160 about where we're at after after day one. All right, 0:01:59.160 --> 0:01:59.800 what question do you have? 0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:03.400 Johnny had six draft pick in the defensive. 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:04.640 So awe you put your top two. 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.080 I mean, how I know it's very early, but how 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.320 much pencil do you think they could make an impact 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:09.760 in this Nam? 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:11.880 Well, I mean, you know, all those guys are are 0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.600 real good players. You know, the draft picks and you 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.959 start with Malachi and work your way right down through 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.200 and uh, we drafted all those guys for a reason. 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.919 And and they're uh, they're they're guys that have made 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:24.600 plays at a high level in college. You know, disruptive 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.519 type players, every one of them. So yeah, we'll see. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.600 I think they can all they all gotta they all 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.840 got a shot. We'll see how they do. 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.280 So Emery was sidelined for I guess all the factors, 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:36.120 or at least the start of it. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.640 Yeah, it's gonna be a little while. You know, he 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.240 had he had a labor shoulder issue that I think 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.800 you guys were aware of. And so when that's gonna 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.800 I don't think it's gonna clear up now, you know, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:50.680 probably be looking at training camp, maybe maybe earlier, but uh, 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.040 we'll just have to see how you go. So he's 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:53.480 not gonna practice in the immediate future. 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.480 You don't think many a possibility for him. 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.320 Uh, you know, I don't think we'll probably push it. 0:02:58.360 --> 0:02:59.560 I mean, if he can do it, we'll do it. 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.799 But I'm not thinking about pushing it there if it's 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:05.640 if it's if it's not totally ready yet done. 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.080 Yesterday, you guys signed Joe Nople offensive lineman, swing swing tackle, 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:14.400 especially given in the wake of mccarrey leaving and knowing 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.280 how versatile he was. How nice is it to bring 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.760 someone in who has played I think four of the 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.919 five offensive line positions in doing that, and. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:22.560 He's in Baltimore now, so maybe we get five out 0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.600 of five, right? Uh he uh yeah, to get to 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.880 get Joseph no Boom in here, a veteran, played, talented guy, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.360 played both sides. Really to focus probably as a swing 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.320 tackle as much as anything for us. I mean that's 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.240 kind of where we really really need that veteran presence 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.640 as a swing tackle play both sides, uh and then 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:43.840 uh yeah. He could pop down in our guard, but 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.560 I think we'll be focusing on tackle. But really big 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.160 signing for us. We're really excited to talk to him 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:52.040 last night. He's fired up, he's excited to be here, Luke, and. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.080 It's one thing to like watch these guys on tape. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.320 Now you're getting to see him on the field itself. 0:03:57.320 --> 0:03:59.160 Well, a guy like Mike Green, what stands out when 0:03:59.200 --> 0:03:59.840 you actually see. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.440 Him, Like, yeah, you know, I think you see it. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.160 You see it kind of up close and personal, the 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.960 explosiveness and the size. You know, he's a big guy. 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.120 And as much as anything, I just like seeing the faces, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.960 you know, the guys, how excited they are, you know, 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:14.920 the fact that this is something that they've been dreaming 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:16.839 of and working for and here they are, and they're 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.240 so excited and so nervous to get out there and 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.320 get after it and get started. And then at the 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:22.919 end of the practice they feel like, oh, you know, 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.560 I feel good about it. You know, I got through it. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.800 I can do this. And Mike's no different than all 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.400 the guys that way, you know, the first time through. 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:30.680 So it's good to see. 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.279 Jack you had offensive tackle this. You're a lot of turnover. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.680 But next year all the tight ends and Patrick required. 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.800 Of course, their contracts are up after this year. How 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:41.920 much do you concern yourself with that as opposed to 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:42.919 letting you you see where. 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.039 At that, Well, yeah, I'll let DC worry more about 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.040 than I will. I mean, you always, it's always everything's 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.680 in the back of my mind. But it's a it's 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.960 year to year, week to week, day to day operation, really, 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.520 So we build a team for this year, one year 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.520 at a time, and then you know, d C Eric 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.080 he's got to be thinking in terms of the long 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.680 term with the contracts and things like that, which you know, 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.320 nobody does it better, so I'll let him worry about it. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.400 Joh And I know Brandy did a lot of the 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:10.560 kicking scouting. What was it like for you, Chris and 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.720 the other guys to see each other live kick here? 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:14.320 Yeah, it was good. It was good to see it. 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:17.040 It's good to hear it, I think as much as anything, Gianna, 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.080 it's good to hear a kicker, you know, and the 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.560 way the ball comes off his foot is impressive. And 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.120 both kickers I thought, looked really good today. So we 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.839 got them out there behind the line of the snap 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.120 and everything, and I think they made them all, didn't they. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.800 You guys were watching, so that's that's good to see. 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:32.680 So it's a good start that way. 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:33.440 John. 0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.080 With a guy like Mike Green that plays in the trenches, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:37.400 I know you guys aren't doing a lot. 0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:38.279 Of physical stuff. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:41.599 These days, But are you able to kind of see 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:42.920 a little bit of what you're. 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.640 Hope and who's with them once you he. 0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:45.080 Does get it. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.280 It's a great question, you know. It's like we tell 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:49.599 these guys, this is not practice in the sense, it's 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.599 not competitive, it's rehearsal. So you're really what you're what 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.240 you're competing against is your execution. We're looking for execution. 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.040 If you saw the practice, we built it from no helmets, 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:01.400 you know, just without without even running the play, just 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.159 coming up to the line of scrimmage and getting the snap. 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.839 Then we built it into you know, do everything fast 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.920 pre snap, but then go half speed. Then we put 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.800 the helmets on and we did it fast. But it 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.800 wasn't competitive, and that's kind of the the I guess 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.800 the ramp up we try to do. So can we 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:18.640 see things? Sure? Can you see everything? No, you can't 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:19.200 see everything. 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.240 Of course he did some the field to pick off 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.279 the back well, do anything just when it's kind of 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:26.400 playing the eye balls on him. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.880 Did anything kind of stand out with you about him? 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.480 Yeah, traits about Carson. I mean he's big, he saw him. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:32.880 He's big, he's rangey, he's got long arms, he's he's 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.159 high cut, he's he can and he can really move, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.679 you know, he moves his feet really well. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:37.480 Uh. 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.159 And then the other thing is you see how how 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:40.680 young he is. I mean, I guess I look at 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.480 that that that that frame, and you say, man, we 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.680 can grow so much into that. And he's gonna get 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.279 in that weight room and get to work right away. 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.200 And and you know he's kind of like a young 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.480 you know, a young colt out there trying to trying 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:54.919 to learn how to control that that that frame. 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.320 John Collins Schleier, Maryland kid trying to potentially earn a 0:06:58.320 --> 0:06:59.520 spot in your quarterback room. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.200 Did you have any early impressions you? 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.520 Yeah, arm man, what an arm he was. He was 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.000 throwing some bebies out there, especially in the outbreaking routes 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.039 on the sideline. Uh. And the kind of striking is 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:10.800 I didn't realize how big he was. You know, he's 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:12.200 a great looking athlete. 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.440 John, What do you hope that Malachi can not only 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.280 learn from this off season but also the safeties in 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:20.600 your room right now Kyle Antennerberg's watch. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:22.720 Right, Well, yeah, I hope he becomes I hope he 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.280 learns how to be like an all pro. I mean, 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:25.880 that's guy. What you hope I mean you hope for 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.320 the best and uh and plan for the best too, 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.200 I guess, and I expect him to do really well. 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.840 You know, he's he's our first round pick. A lot 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.320 is a lot to who much is given, much as 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.480 much as required, and nobody understands it better than him. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.680 Is a young guy. Really impressed with his maturity. He 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:44.120 broke the huddle today. That's not an easy thing to 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.120 do your first time. So uh, so far, so good. 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.120 We'll we'll be Would you like to see the next 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.000 progression for this group going forward? 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.480 Let's what's the next step to do? 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.200 That's a good question, Jerry. I think the next step 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.200 is probably you know, recovery and then taking what they 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.080 learned in the media is post practice out to practice 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:04.560 the next day and see what gets cleaned up. So 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.000 they're gonna be a little sort tomorrow. You know, they 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.160 haven't been moving in a football practice for a while. 0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:11.240 Can they get back out there and repeat it, move 0:08:11.280 --> 0:08:14.720 around and and then you know, build on today. I 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:18.440 think there's a gain website. You said you guys might 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.120 be having great practices. Here's anything you. 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:21.760 Can say about that? 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.440 Yeah, I would just say, it's all up in the 0:08:23.440 --> 0:08:26.720 air right now. If we've talked to the Buccaneers about that, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.640 talk to the commanders about that. But the league controls 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.920 who you end up playing. So we're still waiting to 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:34.680 hear from the league in terms of what our preseason 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.959 games will actually be. I've actually talked to some other 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:40.440 coaches that we maybe could be playing to see if 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.000 they'd be interested, and there's expressed interest. So I think 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.400 we will be having joint practices. Hopefully we'll have a 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.120 day here. You just have to see if it works out. 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.560 I think he gets there with a lot of bactors 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:53.959 after the p private league set. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:54.640 From the definite. 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:57.480 It's that dynamic. 0:08:57.600 --> 0:08:59.880 I mean, it's giving a lot of attention on that dynamic. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.880 How do you put see it time? 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.640 Yeah, you know, for. 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.920 Those guys to be guiled and toxifate. 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:07.160 To say, right, great question. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:07.439 Yeah. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:08.920 I mean, as you know, Justin's been in the building 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.120 the last couple of weeks, kicking and everything, and if 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.040 you have a chance to talk a little bit, been 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.160 working hard. I would just say, like from a standpoint 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.000 of the investigation and all that, I mean, it's we 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.520 don't know anything. I mean we haven't been given any information, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.000 and that as it should be. You know, it's all 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.800 done the way it's done, So we don't know anything 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:31.080 along those lines. So you can't make any decisions based 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.600 on that. Every decision we make has to be based 0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.200 on football. There's a lot of layers to that. You know, 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:37.960 you've got a rookie kicker and here you took them, 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.400 took him in the sixth round early in the sixth round. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:45.160 He's a talented guy. Uh, just from a football standpoint, 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:47.599 salary cap, you know, all the different things that you 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:51.040 just take into consideration. Uh, whatever we decide to do 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:52.800 over the next few weeks will be based on football. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:54.080 Son. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.720 I think you mentioned at the end of the season 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.880 that maybe's a would get throughgery, would put the need 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.160 than anything ever coming. 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.720 In good question. It did not go to surgery. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:04.040 Uh. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.200 He actually he was doing a little dance and the 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.160 way you missed last week and he said he's he 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:11.199 said he's feeling great. His knees back, but he did 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.080 it with rehab and and yeah, he should be ready 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:14.280 to go. 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:17.920 The mental part is so important with the kicker position. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.920 Is that something you can really evaluate. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:21.880 In this kind of setting, or is it. 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:23.120 You know, you just kind of have to wait and 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:24.320 see l guy does in the game. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:26.200 I think, yeah, it's a good question. You probably can 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.480 evaluate it to a degree. I mean, you know, there's 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.600 pressure out here, especially when you're trying to win a job, 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.400 and you go back to when Justin won the job 0:10:33.440 --> 0:10:36.040 how he handle it. But I don't think you're ever 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.440 going to really know until I mean, everything guys do 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.960 the first year is like a new day, So you know, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:42.800 it's a kicker. Every kick is going to be the 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.480 first time he's done it over the course of his 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:46.840 rookie season, So that's always going to be a little 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.240 bit of certainly going to be an unknown if you know, 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.520 whenever you go with the rookie kicker, that would be 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:52.040 an unknown. 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.320 Sorry, do you fear the rookies in particular show up 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:59.360 more prepared, more better knowing their craft already because there's 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.000 so much more from out there and you're going from them, 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.600 whether be're elead eleven type of camps all the way 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.200 up through now, and the way that you approach and how. 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.840 You what you can do with them on day one. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.320 You know, I think that's a great point, Pete. I 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.000 would say, yes, they are more prepared than ever for 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.319 whatever reason. Maybe it's coming up through high school and 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:18.920 you got all the camps with all the little helmets 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.120 on and all the flag football and all the passing leagues. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.040 I don't know what it is, but these guys come 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.040 in ready, and I think the college programs do a 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.200 great job of preparing them. 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.600 And Nebraska the start years. 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.880 See here, No, we signed him, yeah, I believe. So 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:44.160 it could be wrong, but we're checking the the wrestler. Yeah, 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:52.040 we've only got sixty nine guys here. Okay, yeah, we 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:52.360 get it. 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:52.599 Back to you. 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:58.599 I like them today. Look good, strong, one hundred and 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.280 sixty six and oh I think right? Is that good? 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.000 That's very good. 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:09.400 Probably we'll see when we play Kelly, Greg you leveraged. 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:12.679 He leveraged those blocks really well. Yeah. I watched him 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.280 play in college. I mean he played against Michigan a 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.480 couple of times, so a chance I was kind of 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.280 we were talking in the uh in the hallway. I 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.520 ran into him talking about the Michigan Nebraska game, so 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:23.720 the Michigan was too. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:25.560 And all one time. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.120 Yeah, I didn't I might have mentioned that maybe anything else. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:32.320 All right, thanks, appreciate you guys. 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.560 Then we heard from first round safety Malachi Stars. 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.800 Malachi, how exciting is it to be on the field? 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.800 And John Harball told us she even broke down the 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:47.040 huddle just kind. 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:48.600 Of what is that?

He he threw me off with it, but it 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.040 was a honor, you know, and I don't I don't 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.800 take it lightly. I'm I'm happy I got to do 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:14.960 it and hopefully I can do it again. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.559 Ye now kind it alway kind of let your football 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.120 iq right, And I'm how impressed the worthy interviews and 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.400 whatnot tickets to Like, what would be some advice you'd 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:25.040 give another player that can play kind of well next 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.800 year in terms of picking up and playbol for. 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:27.960 How you how you go about that? 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:32.079 Yeah, honest say, just really dive into it. You move 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.439 so much faster in the game of football when you 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.400 know what people around you are doing. Uh So, just 0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:39.319 being able to kind of pick up on what your 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.079 other safety is doing, and then your corner, and then 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.920 your your nickel, and then the linebackers, and then when 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.400 you get to the front, you know you're fit. And 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.160 then at that point you know defense. So now you're 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:51.040 just playing with the offense. Okay, what's the offense giving me? 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.760 They're gonna give me this? How can I How can 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:53.319 I beat that? 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:53.600 You know? 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.520 So at a certain point you just get to where 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.720 you're playing defense, but you're playing with the offense while 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:00.600 you're play and defense. 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.320 Okay, can you can you share a little bit about 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.359 what your message was breaking down? 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:08.160 Yeah, Like I said earlier, it was a really good day. 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:12.320 Uh gods had really good energy. Everybody was on time 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:14.000 the meetings. I told him just to be on time again, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.720 to come out tomorrow with the same energy and just 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:17.800 keep having fun. You know, we're all here chasing our dreams, 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:20.440 so we're all supporting each other and just you know, 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:22.840 keep it, keep it going. 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.840 You've been through a couple of practices. Have you seen 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.360 the difference between the John hobball. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:31.680 Maybe that you were needing during drafts and maybe now 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.360 in practice moved game. 0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.880 He's the same. He's the same guy day in and 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:38.560 day out. He really is. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:39.320 Uh. 0:14:39.400 --> 0:14:41.200 And just like his energy when he's out there, and 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.920 just like what he brings to to practice and to 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.280 the team. I mean, like it's it's crazy, like he 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.040 walks out there and he starts talking and it's like 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.600 everybody's just boom, let's go to work. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:52.040 Uh. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.560 So I said he was blessing to have him as 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:55.120 a coach. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.800 Break down the teams, as he mentioned up here too, 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:00.560 with kind of like with the first round pick, there's 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.040 a lot expected of you, and that's when you're to 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:05.120 be that kind of leader. To see this kind of 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:06.560 was that a reminder to you of kind of what 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.680 they're going to expect from you going forward despite the 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:09.400 fact that you just. 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:13.760 Got Yeah, yeah, but I already knew it just kind 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:14.160 of coming in. 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:15.080 We had talked about it. 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:18.360 Uh, just you know, being that being that leader, keep 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:20.040 being myself who I was when I came from the 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.080 University of Georgia. So just being able to continue to 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.040 be myself and really dive into being a pro and 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:27.600 bring gods along with me as well. 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.480 I think it's huge for me. How did your when 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:31.400 did your leadership? 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.240 I kind of plays the first take you Is that 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:34.960 always been there? 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:36.280 Or how did you develop yourself? 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:38.720 You know, I think it's it's always been there. 0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.840 But I think when I got to University of Georgia, 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.320 I just followed the right people, uh, the leaders that 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.080 were there before me. Like I watched them and I 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.240 saw what they did, and then I figured out how 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.400 I wanted to lead myself. And I feel like you 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:53.400 should always lead by example, So that's what I do. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:58.040 But like, I've learned different styles and techniques that people use, 0:15:58.080 --> 0:15:59.480 and I kind of picked it up and put. 0:15:59.280 --> 0:15:59.960 It into my own leader. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.280 So just being able to watch people the right way 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:07.520 and the right guys has helped me a lot. Nolan Smith, 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.200
