1
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Welcome into the lounge presented by DraftKings. We have the

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: pleasure of sitting down with Kyle van Noy and Kyle,

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: you know, you've been talking about and you know, other

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: people who've been watching Ravens games were saying, he's been

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: balling off the couch.

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: Now you're back on the couch.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, straight off the couch.

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: But now we're on the so we're gonna try to

9
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: ball on the couch.

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah all right, I did that a lot. You got

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 3: that down, Yeah, I got it down pretty good.

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 2: So what's this been like?

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it has to have been like kind of

14
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: a whirlwind to jump in have immediate success.

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: Three sacks already in four games. That's pretty incredible. Just

16
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: what's it? What's his experience been like?

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 4: You know, honestly, it's something that I knew was going

18
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 4: to happen. It was just getting the right opportunity. I mean,

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 4: to go back even further, Uh, I've actually had eight

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 4: sacks in my last nine regular.

21
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 3: Season game, So don't short change him over here, even.

22
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: Going back to last year. Yeah, So I'm I feel

23
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 4: like I'm you know, in my prime. You know, a

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 4: lot of changes in the NFL with teams just going

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: way younger and whatnot.

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 3: And I feel like I'm now hitting my stride actually

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: as a rusher and just as a player. That's cool.

28
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: What is it about, Like, is it just experience? Is

29
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: it knowing your moves really well?

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: Like?

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: What is it that makes you feel like you're hitting

32
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: your strut?

33
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: I think it's just focusing on one position. For a

34
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 4: long time, I played multiple positions, you know.

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: Wherever they will belcher right.

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, wherever I was needed I went and yeah, you know,

37
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: I performed at a high level, but I was never

38
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: able to do one thing, you know, really really well.

39
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 4: And I feel like now that I've been able to

40
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 4: focus on pass rush and I'm able to do it

41
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: really really well.

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 5: It's interesting you come in and you've hit the ground

43
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 5: running Clowney pretty similar. I mean, he got here before you,

44
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 5: but but not too much ahead of you. And both

45
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: you guys have been like impact players for this defense.

46
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 5: I'm curious to get your perspective, like you've played in

47
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 5: different defenses and been in different teams, Like what is

48
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: it that has allowed you? And maybe it's just the

49
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 5: fact that you know that you as a player have

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 5: been able to do it, But why have you guys

51
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 5: been able to hit the ground running so well the

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 5: way you have this year.

53
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 3: You know, I think it's a lot of different things.

54
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 4: I think it's, you know, a team like which Mike mcdan,

55
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: Mike McDonald, excuse me, and Harbaugh's putting us in the

56
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 4: right positions to succeed, as well as our coaches, individual

57
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 4: coaches Weaver and Chuck Smith. They've done a really good

58
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 4: job of putting us and allowing us to be ourselves.

59
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 4: And then, honestly, I think it's just the chip on

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 4: our shoulders that we both have. JD has a big

61
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: chip on his shoulder and I do too, and we

62
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: want to be able to make game changing plays. We've

63
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: both done it in our careers, and I think it's

64
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: just something now that the raven fans get to see

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: up close and personal, and we're excited to do it

66
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: and we're excited to continue that chip on the shoulder,

67
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 4: just like the Baltimore Ravens fan base has. They have one,

68
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 4: so we're trying to emulate.

69
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: That is the underdog.

70
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that chip on your shoulder,

71
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, I assume that comes from you know, where's

72
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: your phone not ringing?

73
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Shoulder.

74
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 4: Honestly, I just feel like it's been my entire career.

75
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, I've been a very solid

76
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: player in this league. I've been paid at one point

77
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 4: as a franchise player and then what's happening to be

78
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: released a year later. So I just feel like I've

79
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: always been kind of undervalued and underestimated, and then when

80
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 4: teams or organizations get me, it's like a surprise, like whoa, Like,

81
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: we didn't know you could do this, and it's kind

82
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: of like, well, were you watching film?

83
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 3: What were you guys doing?

84
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I think it's more of, you know, just

85
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: me as a player, being who I am and just

86
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: having that chip on my shoulder and then continue to

87
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 4: be the best teammate too. I think that's awesome being here.

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 4: There's a lot of young guys and a lot of

89
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 4: guys that are hungry.

90
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: You know.

91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 4: One of my guys already is Mattbike and seeing him

92
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 4: and his growth since the couple weeks that I've been

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: here has been amazing. And you know, as my guy,

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: we're always you know, battling each other and you know,

95
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 4: messing with each other. And I'm very excited for him

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 4: in his future.

97
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, in terms of that chip.

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: Like John Harwall talked this week about you having a

99
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: great start here and being so successful here, and he

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 5: kind of talked about how everybody's motivated by different things,

101
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: Like for you, do you get motivated by kind of

102
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 5: what you're talking about, like this notion of having to

103
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 5: prove it again, or people doubting you, or like is

104
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 5: how do you internalize that stuff and use it as motivation?

105
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: Do you use it as motiv Like what is the

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: motivation for you?

107
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: That's a good questionquestion. You know.

108
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: I've actually thought about this question a lot lately, and

109
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: I think it's you. You enjoy proving people wrong, right,

110
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: Like that's something everybody does.

111
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 3: It's what you guys do too. It's yeah, exactly.

112
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 2: It happen too often.

113
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,239
Speaker 3: See this is good, especially when you let the person

114
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 3: like talk and you're like I got the answer, like this,

115
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 3: wait exactly. Yeah.

116
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: But me personally, I want to prove to the people

117
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 4: that are in my corner, right, And that's kind of

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: my focus, especially my son now that he's getting older

119
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: and starting to learn a little bit more what football

120
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: is and what dad's job is. It's fun to see

121
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 4: him out of game and cheering and getting like just

122
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: it clicks in his head as well as my parents.

123
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: I like to make people proud, and you know, yeah,

124
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 4: it's a it's a little combination of everything, and then

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 4: me to know that I'm still a guy that can

126
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 4: wreck games and be a contributor on a team. And

127
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: then obviously you can't you can't say you know, I

128
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: would be lying up here through my teeth if I

129
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: didn't say money.

130
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 3: Money's also a motivation. So it's a combination of everything.

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you take me through the process of coming

132
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: to Baltimore.

133
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 2: You know, you had worked out or for a visit earlier.

134
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: It took a little bit of time, and then ultimately

135
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: you decided this is the right place.

136
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Can you take me through that?

137
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

138
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: I I came for a visit, I want to say,

139
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 4: in July, and we had conversations and whatnot. But I

140
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 4: just think we're too far off on the money part

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 4: and too far of like, you know, what my role

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: would be. There was too many unknowns at that time,

143
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 4: and I just wasn't comfortable with it. And then eventually

144
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: there are some injuries here and my role was going

145
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 4: to increase, so I felt comfortable enough to come and

146
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 4: I enjoyed the environment. I enjoyed the coaches, I enjoyed

147
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 4: the personnel. I enjoyed Ozzy, I enjoy you know a

148
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 4: lot of behind the scenes people that were really good

149
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: to me, and just with the conversations and then the

150
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 4: players and the conversation with the players. Being on a

151
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 4: team that's going to be competitive, that you knew was

152
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: going to have a shot, that you knew had the

153
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 4: potential to be really good, and we still have the

154
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 4: potential to.

155
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: Be really good.

156
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 4: That was a big draw to me, and you know,

157
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 4: it turned out to be really good. I also had

158
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: the Raiders, so it was kind of an easy decision

159
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 4: for me picking this decision.

160
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 5: Did you feel is that a hard go back to July,

161
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: you leave here, we were all kind of like, wonder

162
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: if it's going to happen?

163
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, like that you were mad.

164
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: At I was mad. I was mad at Eric, but

165
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: I'm okay to say that. I'm sure Eric was mad

166
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: at me.

167
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

168
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 5: It's interesting because you basically come here and you have

169
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 5: the visit and it goes well ish, like well enough

170
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 5: ultimately be sitting here.

171
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: It went good all the way until the end until

172
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: I gave you the numbers exactly.

173
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, But honestly it's it's it's all good, Like

174
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm here for a reason. They ended up, you know,

175
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 4: we ended up being a good marriage, and Eric's been

176
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 4: awesome to me. He's been really cool, you know, and

177
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: it's worked out really good. And I just hope I

178
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 4: can continue to be a light and continue to be

179
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: a good teammate and a good player.

180
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: I'm curious about that because like, is it hard for you?

181
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: I mean, it sounds like maybe it wasn't, but basically

182
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: to like to walk away and not take whatever's presented

183
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 5: to you at that time somebody.

184
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: Else was gonna come for But but but but don't

185
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily know like you're you're betting on yourself.

186
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. And I think what's the problem is

187
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: is like how do I articulate this? Like for me,

188
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: it's like what are these other teams watching? Like?

189
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 4: And then people are shocked that I'm doing this here

190
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 4: and now it's like, well what the hell have you

191
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: been watching?

192
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? At least years? But that's

193
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: not just me. That's a lot of players that are

194
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: in my position as a old uh and more experienced.

195
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 4: There we go almost top myself, more experienced player in

196
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: the league. I think people forget that some of these

197
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 4: players can still play at a high level. And I

198
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: understand the business aspect. I understand you want to develop,

199
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 4: I understand cheaper, I get all that. So it just

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 4: worked out and it's been positive, and I just want to,

201
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: you know, continue to focus on the positivity that the.

202
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 3: Ravens have shown me.

203
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: They've been really good to me, They've been really good

204
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 4: to Clowney, They've been really good to all the experienced

205
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: players on our team, and we're really meshed really well,

206
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 4: and we hope to continue that mesh and continue to

207
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 4: have that ball rolling.

208
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems like that is a big motivating factor,

209
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: just kind of even beyond yourself, is just a proved

210
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: for these more experienced season guys that like the league's

211
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: wrong about us. It's kind of it kind of reminds

212
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: me of like the whole running back debate, you know

213
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: a little bit this off season, where running backs like,

214
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: what the.

215
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: Hell, Yeah, that's very true.

216
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like pass rushers too, are saying like, look,

217
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, we we have kind of found our game.

218
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: Like there's a lot of value to these more experienced

219
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: pass rushers. Is that true for you?

220
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can say that. I just think personally that

221
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 4: was my position. Other people, you know, may not have

222
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 4: that same position that I have. Yeah, that was just

223
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 4: my opinion towards it.

224
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: Gotcha.

225
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 5: Were you watching Ravens games when you before you came

226
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 5: back here.

227
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I was doing picks for different teams on

228
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 4: like who I thought was going to win and lose.

229
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 3: So I was watching everything.

230
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 5: But just as you were just watching as a fan, Like,

231
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 5: were you like thinking like, I'm probably gonna end up there.

232
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 3: No, I had no idea.

233
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Really.

234
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

235
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 6: Interesting, I had no.

236
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: Idea what team I was going to go to. I

237
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 4: literally was sitting on my ca I was like a

238
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: normal fan watching games.

239
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 6: Interesting because it's like it is crazy.

240
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 5: You're sitting there watching games, you're doing picture, doing media

241
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 5: or whatever, and then all of a sudden, it's like

242
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: now you're you're now you're now you're on the field,

243
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 5: and like this team that you just kind of were

244
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 5: watching casually you're suiting up with.

245
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was ready.

246
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: I put a lot of time and effort into my

247
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 4: backyard by myself setting up cone setting really thrills. Oh yeah,

248
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 4: I was ready. I was ready for this moment. I

249
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: mean to come off the couch and then go into

250
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: the Cleveland game and have a little impact that I

251
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 4: did with the limited amount of snaps that I got,

252
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 4: like that was all you know.

253
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that wasn't by accident at all.

254
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: I trained a specific way, and you know, I've been

255
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 4: able to lean back on that training now and I

256
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 4: still focus on that same training, if not amplified a

257
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 4: little bit more. But I mean, for me, that's I

258
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 4: knew this was going to happen. It was just a

259
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 4: matter of when.

260
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,719
Speaker 2: What kind of what passed through rush moves? Are you

261
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 2: putting on your kid in the backyard hour?

262
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's actually all my wife out of the way, babe.

263
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: I'm curious, you know, because I'd always thought of you,

264
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: you know, in the New England.

265
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: Defense as like, you know very much a Swiss Army knife,

266
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: really good in coverage. You had shown that over your career,

267
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: and now it seems like you're like, I want to

268
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: rush the passers.

269
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, give me those snaps. Why is that?

270
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: Because you could get paid a lot more.

271
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: That and I would say, that's what my strength is,

272
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: That's what I did in college. If you go back

273
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 4: then I had thirteen and a half sacks my junior year.

274
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 4: I think I had five and a half my senior

275
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 4: year and missed about twenty. So I think that's where

276
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable, That's where I know I'm best at. And

277
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 4: it's just kind of focusing on one thing versus like

278
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: trying to do a bunch of things.

279
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and hone in on that and go get it.

280
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 6: Well, you could have a career year in sacks.

281
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got three right now?

282
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 6: Your career high is?

283
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: Are we including like postseason?

284
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: Sure?

285
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe I believe it's eight? Eight?

286
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, all right, well.

287
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 6: Postseason is going to be part of this team, right, Okay,

288
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 6: so I mean long post.

289
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: Because one game at a time right now, I'm Arizona. Yeah,

290
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 4: I know that might be a previous employment answer, but

291
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 4: I'm like, legit focused on like one game at a

292
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: time because so much can happen in a game and

293
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: after a game.

294
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm curious when you take of you know,

295
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 5: you you've I'm sure had perspective of the Ravens from

296
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 5: the outside looking in, Like what has your impression been

297
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 5: of the culture and the operation here since you've arrived.

298
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 3: Oh, That's another good question. Perception.

299
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 4: Honestly, I really didn't have I didn't really like say

300
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 4: good or bad or anything. I just from the distance,

301
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: it's always been like they're very competitive every year, even

302
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 4: team like they play and incredibly competitive. Even when they

303
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 4: were you know, struggling in a season, every game was

304
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 4: like down to the wire, it seemed like.

305
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: So I always respected how they played.

306
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: But I've never had like, oh that team sucks or

307
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 4: I hate playing them, you know, or I like playing

308
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 4: them like the Jets, I love playing to get the Jets,

309
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: anything like that. But since being being here, it's been

310
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: honestly first class, family oriented, which has been awesome, Like

311
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: you can bring your kid to work and everybody's like

312
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: it's normal, Like that's that was different for me. And

313
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 4: just the the put the input that you can have,

314
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: you know, something that I may suggest or like I'll

315
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: give you a little insight.

316
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: It was really cool to have.

317
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: You know, Todd, he's been kind of uh not, I

318
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 4: don't want to say struggling, but I want I want

319
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: to say the right word.

320
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: He hasn't been able to make everybody happy.

321
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: Right in them in with the red area and just

322
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,160

Speaker 4: getting his you know, boots on the ground here and

325
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,480

326
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 4: unfair to like jump at him saying like oh this

327
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: you know his offense, you blah blah blah, whatever you

328

00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,640

336
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,880

337
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 4: honored for the work that he put in, the extra

338
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: work that he put in with Lamar, running the plays

339
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 4: to a team, you know, executing offensive line, all that

340
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 4: was really good. And to see him get his flowers

341
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 4: was like really cool.

342
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: So you having a long conversation with Mike McDonald walking

343
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: out onto the practice field last week, I want to say,

344
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: and it feels like you two have kind of struck

345
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: up a good relationship also.

346
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was a good conversation. Hopefully, you know,

347
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 3: it'll it'll show on one of these Sundays.

348
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely listening to a lound.

349
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: It's been good. Obviously, he and I are actually similar

350
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 4: in age, so you know, we were able to have

351
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 4: conversations about different things in different schemes and it's been fun.

352
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

353
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 5: Have you always been kind of like having that rapport

354
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: with with coaches and feeling for you know, feeling I

355
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: guess empowered to give some as are insighter.

356
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't say it's that.

357
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: It's more of just conversations about their scheme and how

358
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,879
Speaker 4: they see things. And you know, I've I've been able

359
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 4: to have the green dot in my career multiple times,

360
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,159
Speaker 4: so it's like I've been able to see how a

361
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: coordinator thinks and what are you thinking in this situation

362
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 4: or why this calling that, just to get a better

363
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 4: idea of how they are, how they're wired, you know,

364
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 4: what they're thinking. So you know, in situations, I understand

365
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 4: why he's calling this and what he's thinking, and I'm

366
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: able to you know, translate that to a younger guy

367
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 4: in the middle of a game where it's like they

368
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 4: may not be thinking that, but hey, he's calling I

369
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 4: know he's calling this because of you know, we're in

370
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: the high red. They their keys are to do X,

371
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 4: Y and Z, and I'm able to say, hey, be

372
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 4: aware of these plays.

373
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 3: That's why we're calling this real quick.

374
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 2: That's why one more season, guys, right there.

375
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's funny. I just I've always had a high IQ.

376
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 4: In the game, and being able to steal a player

377
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 4: two in the middle of the game can show a lot.

378
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's good.

379
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: You talk about previous employers and your two time Super

380
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Bowl champions, so you know what it looks like, right.

381
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 1: Is there something that you see as a consistent theme

382
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: among Super Bowl winners that you have to have and

383
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: do you see it with the Ravens?

384
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 4: Honestly, I don't even I don't even like comparing teams

385
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 4: or every year is different, every circumstance is different, every

386
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 4: game is different, and I think it's just a mentality

387
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 4: and I like what I see.

388
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all right.

389
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: And another team that you used to play for, the Lions,

390
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: was there any special motivation for you beating them?

391
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: No, because I honestly didn't play that much there, so.

392
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 2: I didn't the drafted you in the second round.

393
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 4: The tidbit on that is my position. Coach legit for

394
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: two years that I was there, told me you're a

395
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 4: good player.

396
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: We don't know where to put you. That's crazy, crazy.

397
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: That's why I said, well, why the hell did you draft? Right?

398
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: But he would think he has some input in the draft.

399
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and you know I ended up, you know,

400
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 4: being a general manager's pick. He ended up getting fired

401
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: in year two. So just see, I saw the business

402
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: really quick as a as a young player.

403
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: It didn't work out there and that's okay.

404
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 4: Ended up getting traded to an awesome spot for me

405
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: to help flourish, ended up getting a big contract, and then.

406
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: That whole fiasco.

407
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: So I've had a lot of experience and I'll be

408
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 4: able to talk a lot of different points when I'm

409
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: done playing and hopefully get a lucrative deal, you know,

410
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 4: talking on a podcast or beyond TV.

411
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: We'll always like that we don't have.

412
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 6: We don't have the lucrative deal part of it.

413
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 3: It is coming. It's coming, Yes, it's coming exactly.

414
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: So you're you're a proud b y, you guy.

Speaker 2: h U.

419
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 4: That was a little tongue. Honestly, it was amazing. It

420
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 4: was amazing to have those type of legends at the bank.

421
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 4: My first time at the bank, So to have that

422
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 4: atmosphere and that those those kind of legends in the

423
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 4: building was quiet an honor me. Knowing Helloi personally was awesome.

424
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 4: It's always good to see big brother.

425
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you I saw that?

426
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 3: Yeah it is. He's basically my cousin.

427
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 2: I saw your cousin looking up. I was like in

428
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 2: the family tree.

429
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's kind of confusing. They go like a million

430
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: ways when you're poly right. So it was good to

431
00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: see him.

432
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 3: You know.

433
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 4: It was awesome to see uh sugs in the tunnel

434
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 4: before the game, and just that mutual respect. He didn't

435
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 4: we didn't say anything, but just you know, a head

436
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 4: not acknowledging each other and respect. I've really admired what

437
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 4: he's done in his career and how he's done it.

438
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 4: He was really that dude. And obviously when you have

439
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 4: a name like bal So Hard University, I you're that dude.

440
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 4: So it was just cool to you know, just acknowledge

441
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 4: a legend like that and have the fan base and

442
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 4: be a part of that was a really cool experience.

443
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

444
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: Well you you're playing like that dude this year, and

445
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 5: a lot of guys on this defense are This defense

446
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 5: is good, it's legitimate, and there's a lot of pride

447
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 5: on the Defense podcast.

448
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 4: You got a lot of assholes way guys that are hungry.

449
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so you like that mentalities was needed? Yeah,

450
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: I mean it just seems like this defense, like you,

451
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 5: I think Roquan sets the tone in terms of like

452
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 5: and veteran players like yourself do as well. But like I,

453
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 5: the sense that I get and everything that I hear

454
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 5: from players on this defense is like, we're confident, We're

455
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 5: not scared, We're going to tell you what we think.

456
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 6: We're gonna be unapologetic.

457
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 2: Allergetic, a holes, I'm not allowed to.

458
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 5: Be sure and and and I think that carries over

459
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 5: to the way that you play the game.

460
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 6: Do you see it that way too?

461
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: Yeah? I do.

462
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 4: You know, I think we're starting to gel together too,

463
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 4: like a lot of us, you know, myself, JD, some

464
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: other guys coming from different places coming together with the

465
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 4: core that they have here. And you know, just getting

466
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: on the same page and working together, and you know,

467
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 4: especially in the D line group of not rushing together

468
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 4: until like right now, so we're still there's still such

469
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 4: a high ceiling, and guys that have been injured off

470
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 4: and coming back and just getting in a jail to

471
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 4: really play off each other and see how, you know,

472
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,480

Speaker 3: Love that.

514
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: And you know it is he's got a future in

515
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 1: media for sure. He's going to take one of our

516
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: He's going to take your jobs on that. No, I

517
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: just think he's what's interesting about him is it feels

518
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: like that chip on his shoulder is really kind of

519
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: just a long standing thing, like you talked about where

520
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: even going back to when he was drafted by the

521
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: Lions and them not really feeling like they had a

522
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: position for him. Like he's just not really you know,

523
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: been able to kind of thrive in spurts of his

524
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: career right and now getting you know, up to his age,

525
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: it's like teams questioning, Okay, does this guy still have

526
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: it and he still feels like yeah, like there's a

527
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: lot of untapped potential here, right, Yeah, And to have

528
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: that imbalance of perceptions can certainly motivate.

529
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 6: Well, it's it is crazy.

530
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: It's like early in his career it's well, you're a

531
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 5: positionless player, we don't know where to put you.

532
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: So then he.

533
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 5: Had success, but now it's like you're too old, you know,

534
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 5: and so so like, and he's felt like he's had

535
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 5: this potential it's been untapped even in recent years, and

536
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 5: he goes to these new teams like, Wow, you're really good.

537
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 5: He's like, I know I've been telling you right and

538
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 5: so like now, but but then all of a sudden,

539
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 5: like you you become a veteran player, and now it's like,

540
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 5: while you're too old, oh, actually you're not too old.

541
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 5: You can come in here and be a really, really

542
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 5: quality player.

543
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: We should definitely stop like reacting super positively to his sacks.

544
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's like you can't be surprised. It's like, oh, yeah,

545
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: this is what we expected. So it's like you know

546
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, like I don't want to hear people anymore.

547
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 2: Big point you be like.

548
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Kyle van Noy, three sacks is first, no, no, no,

549
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: this is what we expected.

550
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, like I said to him, I mean I really

551
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: think this he could have a career season. I mean

552
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 5: like in terms of a sack production like and then

553
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 5: and then I think you will as he continues to

554
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 5: prove a lot of people wrong, you know.

555
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: And I think that like Javion Clowny's on that path too. Well,

556
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: that's a crazy thing.

557
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 6: Like you have multiple guys.

558
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 2: This is what happens when you lead the league in sacks.

559
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 5: Clowney, mattabk and Kyle Vin all on pace. Yep, to

560
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 5: have career seasons.

561
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: It's pretty incredible.

562
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 6: Now, you know, it's it's a long year. You got

563
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 6: to keep it up all that stuff.

564
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 2: But Kyle Hamilton, Kyle.

565
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 6: Hamilton, yes, I can keep you going the game. Can

566
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 6: I keep going? Arthur Malette, let's go. Everyone's having a career.

567
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 6: You're in sacks.

568
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's incredible, and it's a testament. You know,

569
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 1: I hate to you don't want to give too much

570
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: credit to Mike McDonald's coaching staff. They're deserving everybody's deserving

571
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: the credit. The players are doing it right, and so

572
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: I think to Kyle's point, Mike and the coaches and

573
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: Chuck Smith, they're all doing good job of coaching the

574
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: pass rush. And it's not just outside linebackers. Chuck Smith,

575
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: he's working with the defensive lineman. Like you're seeing some

576
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: of the same moves from those guys, right, So Chuck

577
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: Smith deserves credit. Mike McDonald his scheme, you know, very creative,

578
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: pass rush, blitzes and whatnot that deserves credit. And then

579
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: the players, you know, for for executing at a high level.

580
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: So you know, the Ravens aren't in the credit game,

581
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: but I think all of them deserve it for sure.

582
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that like the way I give the

583
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 5: coaching staff credit is helping these players. We've seen it

584
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 5: now with multiple players who have come in late in

585
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 5: the process. Kyle's one, Clowny's another, ro Kwan last year. Now,

586
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 5: these are all really high end players, so it helps

587
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 5: you have high end players making this transition, but you

588
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 5: have players who have come in and basically stepped in

589
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 5: immediately and had a big impact. And so I give

590
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 5: the coaching staff credit for basically building a defense that

591
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 5: allows players to come in and do that, and then

592
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 5: also working with them in order to make sure that.

593
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 6: They're up to speed.

594
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 5: And so look, I've been really impressed with Kyle and

595
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 5: it's like, again we've mentioned this before, but you know,

596
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: the big one of the biggest question Slash concerns coming

597
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 5: into the season was the pass rush, and it has

598
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 5: been one of the strengths of the team. Absolutely, and

599
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 5: adding Kyle van Noy the reason they Raven signed Kyle

600
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 5: van noy Is because they felt like they needed some

601
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 5: support in that area, and he's.

602
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: A Jabo went down with the injury. A da Fayoi

603
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: went down with the ankle. You know, I think there

604
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: was it wasn't clear exactly whether a Jaba was going

605
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: to miss the rest of the season yep or not.

606
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: And so they went and made this move and it's been.

607
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 2: A good move.

608
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: And on top of it, Ojabo is going to come back.

609
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Ohway is back and I already had a great game

610
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: against the Lions. And so the rich keep getting richer

611
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: at a spot where people.

612
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 2: Thought the Ravens were poor.

613
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

614
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: The other one too is Tyas Bouser, whos you have

615
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 5: to play a game this season? You know, just on

616
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 5: the injury update there, the update is that there's really

617
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 5: not an update to be an update update. Yeah, I

618
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: mean John Harwall said last week, you know, it's become

619
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 5: a little bit more complicated. It could have an announcement

620
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 5: on that front. Tyas has spoken on his radio show

621
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: just kind of in vague terms a little bit that

622
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 5: says like he's working, he's trying to get back.

623
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: Gol is the comeback this year, but he's.

624
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 5: Not provided any clear timeline or timetable for when that's

625
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 5: going to be. And this week John Harwall was asked

626
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 5: about it again and basically said no resolution on that front. Yes,

627
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 5: So as it stands right now, Tyas is still on

628
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 5: the non football injury list. When he gets back on

629
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: the field, if he gets back on the field is

630
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 5: anybody's guess. But the good news is the Ravens have

631
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 5: some really good outside linebackers on the team right now.

632
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to get cranked up this Sunday in Air.

633
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: So no, this is the old adage. You can't have

634
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: a letdown game. Right You're coming off a huge win

635
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: against a really good Lions team, You're feeling great. Now

636
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: you're going against the Cardinals team that's one you know

637
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: has one win on the season, right, and you can't

638
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: have a letdown game against the Cardinals, who you know

639
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: they have talented players on their side too, One of

640
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: which I think that's going to be talked about a

641
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: lot this week is Marcus Brown. Let's go back and

642
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: revisit that a little bit, the whole Mark East Brown situation.

643
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: So obviously, the Ravens leading wide receiver first round draft

644
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: pick playing well, I mean he had some good years

645
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: here in Baltimore, eclipsed a thousand yards and then requested

646
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: to be traded.

647
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Eric ta Costa.

648
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: Obliged trade him for a first round pick, and the

649
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: Ravens got Tyle Linderbaum.

650
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 3: Yep.

651
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: Now you fast forward two years after that, the Ravens

652
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: draft to Ze Flowers, and you know, he's become their

653
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 1: number one ride receiver, really off the jump.

654
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 2: Big credit to Zay, big credit to coaches, everybody. I

655
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 2: think this is really worked out well for the Ravens.

656
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: I do.

657
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: You know, I think that Mark he's he's doing well

658
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: in Arizona.

659
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, he leads them right now three hundred and

660
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: eighty three receiving yards. But it remains to me seen

661
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 1: is he going to get that big contract after this year?

662
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: No?

663
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, who knows. I mean, I'd just be guessing.

664
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 5: I think that, like you know, when he's when he's

665
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 5: talked about it, you know, he felt like he wanted

666
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: a new a change of scenery, a new opportunity, a

667
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 5: place where he felt like he could take his talent

668
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 5: to the next level. Also when he got traded there,

669
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 5: of course, you know, Kylin Murray is one of his

670
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 5: best friends, right and Kyler Murray was a starting quarterback

671
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 5: who has not played it all this year because of

672
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 5: his knee injury coming that he'd suffered last year. So

673
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 5: he's still working his way back. You know, lots of

674
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 5: questions in Arizona about all that on all that stuff

675
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 5: when Kyler gets back on the field and all that.

676
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: He's practicing right now but not expected to play. But

677
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: right this Sunday, right it is. It's it's a big

678
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: question mark there on a lot of levels. So hollywoods

679
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 1: in the last year of his rookie contract, does he resign?

680
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: Does he go elsewhere? His name has been floated out

681
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 5: in the trade deadline. You know, if the Cardinals were

682
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 5: to look to move, would they trade him. I don't

683
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 5: know where any of that lands, you know. I think

684
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 5: that it's always with these trades, Like I don't know,

685
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 5: it's always tough to look back and see and think like, well,

686
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 5: what could have been or you know this, would he

687
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 5: have been happier here now? I don't know, you know,

688
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 5: I have no idea, but I like where the Ravens are,

689
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 5: Like I love the fact that they got Tyler Linderbaum,

690
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 5: and I love the fact that god Zay Flowers, and

691
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 5: I think that like those two players are corner some

692
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 5: pieces of his team in the short term and will

693
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 5: be for the long term.

694
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 6: So I don't know. Hollywood had some good years here.

695
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 5: He topped a thousand yards, Like you mentioned, his last

696
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 5: season here, you know, he wanted to go somewhere.

697
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: Else, So who knows, we'll see.

698
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: He's definitely a player for the Ravens to watch out

699
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: for on Sunday. You know, Joshua Dobbs is their quarter

700
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: quarterback right now. James Connor he's on IR so he's

701
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: not gonna be a factor in this game. And so

702
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: this is a game I think for the Ravens where

703
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: they should they should win pretty strongly. Yeah, say, coming

704
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: off that Lions game, I mean, you're facing the Cardinals team. Offensively,

705
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm talking about nineteenth now, they've been a little you know,

706
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: they've been pretty good, but really it's been the run game.

707
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 1: They sixth in rushing, but a lot of that was.

708
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 2: With James Connor.

709
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and defensively, they ranked twenty eighth in the league

710
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: in total defense. Right, So the Ravens offense coming off

711
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: a big game against Lions, now going against the twenty

712
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: eighth ranked defense, you should.

713
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 3: Have a good day.

714
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing about the car Baker's returning for them.

715
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people coming into the season

716
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 5: kind of picked them to be one of the worst

717
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 5: teams in the league, you know, a bottom five, bottom

718
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 5: three team, and they've actually, I think played better than

719
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 5: most people expected it. Their one win is against the

720
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys team, and it came at a point where

721
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 5: everyone was like, man, this Cowboys team is the best

722
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 5: team in the.

723
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 2: League exactly, so you don't want to be that team.

724
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: Basically what you're talking about, the whole down game possibility,

725
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 5: They've already delivered that to the Cowboys, So, like, are

726
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 5: they capable of it? Yeah, we saw it a few

727
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 5: weeks ago. They just did that, right, So, like they

728
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 5: can do that, and they've actually beyond that. They've played

729
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: some teams tough like they've been been in these games.

730
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 5: They've played some tough games. You know, you mentioned Hollywood.

731
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 5: He has obviously big play potential and.

732
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 3: So like.

733
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: You, you definitely can't sleep on them. You can't sleep

734
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: on them, and I don't think the Ravens will. I

735
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: just I think to John Harball's point that he said

736
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: on Monday, you know, I would be very he said,

737
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: he would be very disappointed if guys didn't realize how.

738
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: This league works. That it's a week to week league.

739
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: And you can get knocked off your pedestal at any point. Right,

740
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: That's just how it works in the league. We see

741
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: it every single It's just so it's so funny that

742
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: every single year people like, man, it's crazy this year

743
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: some of these games are wild. I didn't expect that, Yeah,

744
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: but we say that every single year.

745
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: That's just how the league works.

746
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: And so you certainly hope that the Ravens know that

747
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: these are a bunch of locked in Noah, and to

748
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: Kyle Noy's point, you know, beyond dogs, he's got a

749
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: different word for it, and so I expect them to

750
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: go out and take care of business.

751
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

752
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 5: I think this defense is is just going to continue

753
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 5: to play at a really high level. What I really

754
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: want to see, I think is consistency from the offense.

755
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 5: And like Lamar Jackson said after the game, like look,

756
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: it's great, it's good that we had this one game,

757
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 5: but like we do this every week, you know, and

758
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 5: you look, you're not going to have thirty two point

759
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 5: wins every single week. Like that's not realistic in the NFL,

760
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,280
Speaker 5: but the consistency of execution of the way that the

761
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 5: system operates, I think that you can have more consistency

762
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 5: in that regard.

763
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: So like I think making mistakes really, I mean, it's

764
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens are shooting themselves in the foot too much

765
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: and their losses in particular, yeah, right, and going against

766
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: the Cardinals team.

767
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 2: That you're just better than. That's that's really what I.

768
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: Want to see, Like, don't shoot yourself in the foot,

769
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: and you should win this game, yep, and pretty comfortably,

770
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: I think.

771
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 5: But they have shot themselves in a foot exactly. So

772
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 5: it's like you can't do that, you know, Like you

773
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 5: can't fumble the ball when you're going down there to

774
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 5: take a lead like you did against the Colts. You

775
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 5: can't have kind of a lackluster performance in the second

776
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 5: half like you did against the Steelers and turn the

777
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,760
Speaker 5: ball over Like that's how you're going to find yourself

778
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 5: into trouble. If you start turning the ball over, start

779
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 5: having drops like, then you're going to be in a

780
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 5: difficult situation. And I think the Ravens are well aware

781
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: of that. I don't think that will be an issue,

782
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 5: but you know, those are the things that they need.

783
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 6: To focus on.

784
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 5: And again, I would love to see this offense put

785
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 5: together two three, four games stretch where it's like, okay,

786
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 5: now it's hum and like for sure, all of a

787
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 5: sudden the game against Lions, that's not the anomaly, that's

788
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 5: the standard.

789
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 6: That's just who that's standard. And then like you start rolling.

790
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 6: That's what happened in twenty nineteen.

791
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 5: And I think that like when you have a game

792
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 5: like you did on Sunday, it gives you flashbacks to

793
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen, so it is easy to take your mind there.

794
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 5: But basically they started rolling and they didn't stop throughout

795
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 5: the rest of the regular season. And so you hope

796
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,399
Speaker 5: that that can be the case for this team.

797
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: Yep, absolutely, I think that we're going to get a

798
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: when in Arizona. Let's go
