Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September sixth, and it is kickoff week.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens are getting ready to play the Houston Texans

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday at M and T. Banks Stadium. We can't

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: wait to see the Ravens flock back in action for

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: this week one game. As the Ravens prepare for this game,

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh,

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: quarterback Lamar Jackson, and wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. Let's

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: kick things off with Coach Harbaugh.

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody being here. Good practice. Guys came out and

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: took care of business. So we're one step closer, trying

11
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: to take it one day at a time, focus on

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: our preparation, get ready to play very good football team.

13
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: What questions you have, John saw that.

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: The offensive lineman had an expended inside at the beginner.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 4: Any other adjustments just because of the extreme heat today

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:47,919
Speaker 4: we did.

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: We had a couple of things, you know, with water

18
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: breaks and things like that, and everybody did a great job,

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: felt good about where they worked.

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 5: And we got the day in, got a lot of.

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 3: Cycle and a lot of energy maybe and anxiety.

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 6: How was he ning to coach channel.

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: Well?

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: It's funny you mentioned that, because that's exactly what we

25
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: talked about today in the team meeting, is that's the

26
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: excitement of the first game, is there, just like the

27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: fans are excited, players and coaches are excited, you know,

28
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,639
Speaker 2: and sometimes you gotta you gotta take a deep breath,

29
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: you know, and just kind of kind of sell you

30
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: settle yourself a little bit and take care of what's

31
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: right in front of you. And today but it was

32
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 2: right in front of us was meetings, uh, taking care

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: of themselves physically and then having a good practice. Now

34
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: it'll be another set of meetings and then taking care

35
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: of their bodies again. So one step at a time,

36
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: one revolution at a time, and then get ready to

37
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:30,760

00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 5: Right. It's a good question.

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: It's not really something you do way too much because

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: we've got to focus on what we do, uh, and

44
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: and their scheme on what they do.

45
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 5: You know, we know that CJ. Stroud is extremely talented.

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: We know that I watched them play a lot obviously,

47
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: and h have the utmost respect for him his ability

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: for for their offense, for the system they run, for

49
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: the players they have. Uh, they've got you know, great

50
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: skilled players. They got a great run game, you know,

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: downhill run game. They had that last year too in

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 2: terms of the you know, run, the zone scheme, fall

53
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: back on the field, all those things.

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 5: That we have to be ready for.

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: But uh, we're just gonna have to do what we do,

56
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: try to do our best that we can and let

57
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: the chips fall.

58
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: John.

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 3: Obviously we've won play. There's a lot of new players

60
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 3: on these teams. The fans are excited to see.

00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 7: And I know you're ready to see all these guys play,

62
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: But is there anybody that you're kind of anxious to

64
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: You know, I'm I'm anxious to see everybody. I mean,

65
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: really honestly, I'm anxious to see the team. That's That's

66
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: the anybody I'm anxious to see as the team and

67
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: all the parts of the team you know that are

68
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: gonna be out there playing trying to do their best.

69
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: Everybody wants to play very well, very much, and we're

70
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: gonna try to do our best.

71
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 5: John. Uh, this is gonna be adults first game in

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: about a year and a half.

73
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 6: They any bogs of or any talk about any snap

74
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 6: count for him for as.

75
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: No, we haven't had that conversation. I think it's gonna

76
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: be part and parcel of the game plan and the

77
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: personnel groups that go on the field.

78
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 5: But he's ready to go.

79
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 6: Hey, John Odell's gonna be speaking a little bit here today.

80
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 6: He shared in an interview that he texted you to

81
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 6: tell you that you run a world class organization. I

82
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 6: know you're not fishing form.

83
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: What does that?

84
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, Mark?

85
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 6: What does that mean to get that sort of a

86
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 6: nod from a player?

87
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: You know, I'd be a lie to say it doesn't

88
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: mean something, right, I mean it means something because there's

89
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: a guy that you know, he's been around, he knows

90
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: what he's talking about, you know, and have so much

91
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: respect for him. I think that's you respect when it

92
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 2: comes from somebody that works so hard every day at

93
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: his craft. But yeah, it was meaningful, It was it

94
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 2: was appreciated. But uh, yeah, we're not fishing for compliments.

95
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: I like that.

96
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 8: I know he hasn't been here the whole time, but

97
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 8: do you have a sense of sort of what he's

98
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 8: at last year and half and realized to get back

99
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 8: to this.

100
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 5: Point I do. I just talk to him coming off

101
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: the field.

102
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: You guys saw that, you know that was that was

103
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: really kind of he'll probably tell you, but that's kind

104
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: of what he's talking about. That's what he's thinking about.

105
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: He's very aware of the fact that he hasn't played

106
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: in a long time and how important it is now

107
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: excited he is, how much he's put into getting himself

108
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: back to this point. I mean, when you when you

109
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 2: commit so much, you make so many sacrifices, you work

110
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: so hard, you know that those are investments that are

111
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: made with your time and your energy and your effort

112
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: and your emotions and everything else.

113
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 5: And I know he's looking for that to pay off.

114
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: You know, he's hoping that that's gonna pay off, and

115
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 2: he's gonna be out there playing just as hard and

116
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: as well as he can because of it.

117
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 6: John, I think the.

118
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 9: Attribute we're supposed often associated with coach markets billion and

119
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 9: is still confidence in his quarterbacks that he works.

120
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 10: But we know Lamar, he's a pretty unprofitable guy.

121
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: Alds confidence.

122
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 9: So you know, how do you think that is gonna

123
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 9: You know how Lamar the person he's.

124
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 5: Going Yeah, I mean, Lamar's his own man. You know Lamar.

125
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: Lamar is a confident guy. And he's confident because he's

126
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: another guy that works so hard at it. I mean,

127
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: Lamar has put everything into it. He's been out here,

128
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: he's been studying day and night. Uh, he's been he's

129
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 2: been working, he's been working on all his fundamentals and uh,

130
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: and he's ready to go. And he's ready, like we

131
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 2: said last week, he's ready to be on point with

132
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 2: everything he does. So I think Todd and here they

133
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: get along great. You know, they've got to be like that.

134
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: They are like that, they talk a lot and then

135
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens and not. It's not just one

136
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 2: game either. You know, we're gonna talking about a whole

137
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 2: season in front of us.

138
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 5: Oh, I don't know, John.

139
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 8: I think it's implied by the amount of investment you

140
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 8: put it to the passing attack, including giving the margin contract.

141
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 8: But do you see him, you know, just attempting more

142
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 8: passes this season?

143
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 10: Maybe?

144
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 8: Do you see him maybe setting passes, are passing the

145
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 8: attempt of single high season highs And how can that

146
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 8: influence your offense?

147
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 5: Team?

148
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, well, probably the answer is gonna be We're

149
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: gonna do whatever we feel like we need to do

150
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: to win, because that's always the answer. You know, it

151
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,919
Speaker 2: was never it was never you know, not throwing the

152
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: ball or not running whatever.

153
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 5: It was never that.

154
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: But I think just by virtue of the of the

155
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: personality of the team, it's a pretty fair assumption that

156
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: we're gonna throw the ball more, no question about that,

157
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 2: and I'm excited about that. But again, game to game,

158
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: series to series, whatever needs to be done, that's what

159
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: our guys are up for.

160
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 9: John, I understand you're not gonna abu close the game

161
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 9: of push, But defensively, I don't know that there's a

162
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 9: corner you had that was one other than Ardarius watching

163
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 9: the day that was out their practice get the entire time.

164
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 9: How much do you have to rely on kind of

165
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 9: versatility and match ups sort of especially early in the

166
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 9: season and some of the corners finally floating kind of

167
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 9: going back and the form.

168
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I trust those players, you know, I

169
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 2: trust those players who go out there, corner safeties, linebackers,

170
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: the whole defense, the whole team really to go out

171
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: there and play well. And we you know, we've got

172
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: guys in our team for a reason. You know, it's

173
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 2: because they're very good players, So you know, that's that's

174
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: not really a road I need to travel down in

175
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 2: terms of concern, because I know those guys are gonna

176
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: go out there and play their hearts out, you know,

177
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: and they're and they're excellent players, and and you know,

178
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 2: the bar is high, and I'm i'm I'm I'm very

179
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 2: certain that they're gonna play very well.

180
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: Two more guys, John Safeflowers.

181
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,799
Speaker 8: Obviously, guys just created a ton of interest around themselves

182
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 8: over the last in a couple of months.

183
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: What's your sense best on what you've learned about him

184
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 4: about how he's going to make that transition from what

185
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: he's gonna be in the summer to kind of the

186
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 4: real stage.

187
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 5: Yeah.

188
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, it's just probably the pundits and

189
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 2: the prognosticators to quote Jack Harball. You know, I'm not

190
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 2: one either one of those, So I don't have a

191
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: prediction in terms of, you know, how he's gonna fare.

192
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna fare really well, you know, because

193
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 2: he's a really good player, and he works really hard,

194
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: and you know, guys like that tend to do really well.

195
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 2: You know, he's got talent, So I think he's gonna

196
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: do great. But how he's going to transition and all that,

197
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know. I just think he's gonna

198
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: come out and play great football for us and win

199
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: games for us. And that's all we really ask to

200
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 2: make it more than that, you know, it's kind of like,

201
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: what are we talking about here?

202
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harball. You're listening to the

203
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Ravens Press Pass podcast. We also had a chance to

204
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: hear from quarterback Lamar Jackson, who talked about the team's

205
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,200

Speaker 8: How things work in live action against another team?

211
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,800

00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 11: difficult for you out too right?

319
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: You got to call so that.

320
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 5: I think we played Cincinnati my first start.

321
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 7: Yes, Uh, I remember going into the game, Uh, nervous, hot,

322
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 7: butterflies until you know the actually my first snap, but

323
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 7: like you said, we got the dub.

324
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 5: But after the first.

325
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 7: Snap, I think the nervousness went away and I was

326
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 7: just ready to go hit the ground running.

327
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 10: A little more story that's been bubbling up lately is

328
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 10: the raisins coming at all black quarterback, black coaches.

329
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, two black quarterbacks, two black coaches, and to

330
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 3: seeing at the first in.

00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 4: The NFL like for you, what do you think, how.

332
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 7: Significant do you think it is for people to see that,

333
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 7: and what does it mean to you.

334
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 3: To be a part of it?

335
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:46,559
Speaker 1: Oh?

336
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 7: Man, it's awesome for people to see, you know, just

337
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 7: a new era in the league. You know, all across

338
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 7: the board, you know every level, you know, collegiate level, NFL,

339
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 7: and it's great for me to be a part of,

340
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 7: you know, first time for everything, Lamar.

341
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 8: I mean even s s before you got into the

342
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 8: league kind of fought people trying to pigeonhole you and

343
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 8: with your running talent and saying you're one kind of player.

344
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 8: Do you think with the new offense, the receiving threats

345
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 8: you have just hear new contract, do you think things

346
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 8: are set up to show people the kind of quarterback

347
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 8: that you have always seen yourself ass and and show

348
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 8: your arm talent.

349
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 9: Just as much as you're running talent.

350
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 10: Uh.

351
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 7: I believe so, But I also believe it's gonna always

352
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 7: be doubt no matter what you know, no matter what

353
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 7: you're showing showing people. You know, it's it's all about

354
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 7: you know, proving yourself right, not everyone else. So just

355
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 7: go out there and and do what I do, you know,

356
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 7: we gonna see.

357
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: Come on, what's up with the new.

358
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 6: Coatry staff down there in the Texans?

359
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 3: Is it different to prepare for it?

360
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 6: Cause this, you know, you haven't seen the Texans with

361
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 6: this new coachery step before any film with that.

362
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: Is it a little bit more challenging going into this game?

363
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 9: Cause there might be a.

364
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: Little bit more uncertainty is about how that defense might look?

365
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 10: Uh?

366
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 7: It depends, like like you said, you know, def different,

367
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 7: you know, coach, different players, but the system is you know,

368
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 7: sort of similar to other teams you know who who

369
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: we played in the past. And from watching film watching

370
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 7: forty nine Ers, Uh, defense and coach coming from forty

371
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 7: nine ers similar defenses.

372
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 8: With Todd Mounkin, w what is stood out to you

373
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 8: about him as Uh?

374
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 5: I being outspoken?

375
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 7: Uh, I said, I think I said that before, you know,

376
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 7: just being outspoken and you know, being loud in the

377
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 7: meeting rooms.

378
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, like, it's early. You know, he got his

379
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: blood flowing. I feel like that stick out to me

380
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: the most.

381
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: Might be a while.

382
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: Since you been on the.

383
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: Comes Sunder, do you anticipate feeling any differently as you're

388
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: different field to be given all those transpires. So it's

389
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 3: time to down the field.

390
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 5: Uh.

391
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 7: I say, I'm a little bit anxious, but you know,

392
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 7: coach Coach Harbot said in the me you know, don't

393
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 7: peak too soon, So I'm trying not to peak too soon.

394
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 7: I was lifting earlier, uh with coach Scott, and I

395
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 7: was telling him like, I feel like I'm ready, like

396
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 7: cause I was running around and walked through early too.

397
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 7: So I'm just pumped, to be honest, and I'm pumped.

398
00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 7: I can't wait to get out there.

399
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 11: You think you're a little more anxious.

400
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 7: I haven't played since December and like November one of 'em.

401
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 7: It's a long time. Say it's a long time. That's

402
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 7: a long time. So I'm just I'm just pump on't

403
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 7: ready to get out there on the field. Why did

Speaker 5: I don't wanna watch it. I don't wanna watch it.

406
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:19,960

412
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: what do you think of this team chemistry and how

413
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: preparers to teams should have.

414
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:36,520

00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 7: so I feel like the chemistry is even better.

421
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also talked with veteran

422
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver Odell Beckham Junior. You can tell when listening

423
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: to Beckham today that he is fired up about this

424
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400

426
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: think Ravens fans feel the same way. Here's what OBJ

427
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: had to say for your first game in a couple

428
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: of years actually being on the field, I meanly emotional

429
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: for you.

430
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 3: What are the emotions going into this first game?

431
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 10: I think so it's like over four hundred and fifty

432
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 10: days in count I don't know exact dates, but it's

433
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 10: been a long time. It's been a long time in

434
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 10: my mind, it's been a long time in reality, and

435
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 10: I've just been you know, we're trying to tend like

436
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 10: it's not here for the whole training camp and just

437
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 10: go about it and be grateful to be back out there.

438
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 10: But I'm excited. I don't know what emotions will be

439
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 10: running through me. I know I'll be excited to play

440
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 10: football again. So I'm just ready to get there. Trying

441
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 10: to take it a day at a time and you know,

442
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 10: ease my way into it.

443
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: So the tweet kind of to that point about how

444
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: excited you are for this game. How do you try

445
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: to kind of keep a level head going to this

446
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: game knowing what all that's going on for the past

447
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: two years getting.

448
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: You back to this point.

449
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 10: I don't know if there's a manual for it. Just

450
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 10: one day at a time, you know, like like coach

451
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 10: always talks about one meeting at a time, when practice,

452
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 10: one player at a time. Just trying to keep that mindset, uh,

453
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 10: And that'll keep me, you know, never too I never

454
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 10: too low. But I can tell you this I'm excited.

455
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 10: I'm excited to be back on the field. It's truly

456
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 10: a blessing. Uh. You know, God really, you know, gave

457
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 10: me another opportunity to play. The Ravens gave me another

458
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 10: opportunity to play. And I don't I don't take it

459
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 10: for granted.

460
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: When you did the interview with Childs, who you talked about,

461
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: you know, texting her ball and the about the operation

462
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,159

463
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: just been you know, we really enjoyed.

464
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: The fIF years since you've arrived.

465
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,400
Speaker 1: What is it that stands out about the team, about

466
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: the way you run things since you've been here.

467
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 10: It's wa it's just world class.

468
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 2: Uh.

469
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 10: I could see it from the way meetings go in

470
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 10: and they the things that we focus on and you know,

471
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 10: the little things that actually important of the game that

472
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 10: you don't really like harp on and and give much

473
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 10: detail to. He goes over that and then you see

474
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 10: it come up in the game and you just know

475
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 10: exactly why he's doing it. So it's that it's it's

476
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 10: the way that they run things around here, practice, the

477
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 10: weight room, training room. It's just it's just world class.

478
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: You know.

479
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 10: I was kind of blown away by coming here. You

480
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 10: never know what to expect anywhere you go, and it's

481

483
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 10: could possibly be, for the guys around me, for myself,

484
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 10: and for this team.

485
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 4: Odell, don't I don't know that you need to tell

486
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: anything in the way of advice. But what do you

487
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: remember about way way back, you know, the first time

488
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 4: you were out there for real after being a first

489
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 4: run tick and all the hype and all the preparation

490
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 4: and everything that went into it.

491
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 5: Uh.

492
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 10: I mean, I haven't told him anything yet, but I'm like, listen,

493
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 10: you know who you are, and he's got a lot

494
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 10: of confidence in himself. I don't really know if there's

495
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 10: gonna be much that needs to be said. Maybe I

496
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 10: need to give him a little bump, get him hype,

497
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 10: or tell him to calm down. Either way, you know,

498
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 10: I'm I don't know how much advice I can give him,

499
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 10: cause i'ma be right there with him, you know. As

500
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 10: far as excitement, it's I feel like this is my

501
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 10: first game. Uh So I think we're both gonna be excited,

502
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 10: and he has every capability in the world. There's a

503
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 10: reason he was as high as a draft pick as

504
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 10: he was as a reason. You know people are raving

505
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 10: about him, go point, but there's a reason he's here.

506
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 10: So I I don't know exactly what I'm gonna tell him,

507
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 10: but I know he's gonna be ready.

508
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 8: Do you really feel like this is kind of like

509
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 8: your first gave me?

510
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 5: It really does?

511
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 10: Uh, the whole the whole thing feels like a reset

512
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 10: for me. There's been a lot of like dejavou moments

513
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 10: of little things that's happened that just kind of feels

514
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 10: reminiscent of my rookie year in a sense, just the

515
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 10: the feeling of the excitement that I have to play

516
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 10: football and just a new opportunity, a new life. So

517
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 10: I don't know what to expect, but I'm excited.

518
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 8: Adill he played with some really great veteran quarterbacks.

519
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 5: You live and that.

520
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 8: M Lamar now like six years in his career. What

521
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 8: are some of the tr rates that you see that

522
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 8: really show to you that, hey, here's a guy who's

523
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 8: a veteran who's really establishing himself and has sort of

524
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 8: veteran traits and presence.

525
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 10: I just think you anybody who has those traits is

526
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 10: one who's followed. And you know, we all follow eight.

527
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 5: We go as he goes.

528
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 10: So every quarterback anybody's had is is probably different. And

529
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 10: he's definitely different than uh any other quarterback I've had,

530
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 10: But it it's the leadership comes from, you know, the

531
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 10: smile on his face, the confidence he puts, you know,

532
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 10: within us as far as making a throw, whether the

533
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 10: coverage is tight coverage or whether you know you're wide open,

534
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 10: it's it's it's a connection that you have and he

535
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 10: gives me the confidence to go out there and know

536
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 10: that you know, you do what you gotta do and

537
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 10: get open. I'm'a throw you the ball and if you

538
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 10: didn't get open after of the ball anyway, make the play.

539
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: You know.

540
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 10: So I don't know the exact traits, but it's just

541
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 10: you know it. He's a leader and we follow him.

542
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 11: So do people are gonna be saying about Todd Monkins

543
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 11: offense and his new scheme after week one?

544
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 10: I mean, we gotta see, you know, Uh, I don't really,

545
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 10: r really have an answer for that. I never put

546
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 10: out any expectations, but you know, the goal is the

547
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 10: score points. I don't have any numbers for you or

548
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 10: anything like that. But the goal is to score points,

549
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,479
Speaker 10: score points more points than the other team, and make

550
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 10: plays and be explosive. You know, we got a lot

551
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 10: of a lot of guys that need a ball in

552
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 10: their hands. Uh, it's only one balls. So we just

553
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 10: gotta find a way for everyone to eat and and

554
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 10: be efficient into their job and what the capable of doing. So,

555
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 10: I don't know, I'll let you write up what what

556
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 10: what they expect about his offense after week one?

557
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, you have you ever played with with the achieving group?

558
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 5: It's good.

559
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 10: I don't wanna look back to other groups, but I'll

560
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 10: just focus on this group specifically. I don't wanna compare

561
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 10: do any of that, cause I play with a lot

562
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 10: of great guys. But I look around and you know,

563
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,760

564
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 10: a first round. I was the first round. So it

565
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 10: was the first round. And even the other guys that

Speaker 1: Uh.

570
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,800

Speaker 10: and we know whoever's in has got to be the

572
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 10: one to make plays and they need to come out.

573
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 10: Whoever's coming in is gonna make plays like That's the

574
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,159

00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 10: Uh? I mean, I don't know. I just think that's

583
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 10: how I carry myself. I feel good. It's been a

584
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 10: lot of hard work to get to this point. I

585
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 10: know who I am. It's it's just time to you know,

Speaker 10: I just I feel good and ready to play football again.

589
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 10: Mardell saw you or.

590
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 4: On the sideline before practice, and he's someone who's double

591
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 4: his own challenges of injuries.

592
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 3: Have you been able to give him any words of wisdom?

593
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: And how's your relationship involved with him?

594
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

595
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 10: I give him all the wisdom and the I I

596
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 10: talk to him though, and anytime he needs to talk

597
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 10: about anything, you know, I never like to put you know,

598
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 10: people's business out as far as that that goes, but

599
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 10: there's definitely been those conversations about how do you keep

600
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 10: your mind right and all those things, and each person's

601
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 10: experiences they own. So what I've gone through is never

602
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 10: what the next person has gone through, even if we

603
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 10: had the exact same injury, you know, it's it's a

604
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 10: different experience. Different things that go on in our life,

605
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 10: different families, styles, different lives, you know, are all of

606
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 10: those things. But I just try and encourage him to

607
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 10: you know, if he ever needs helps in anything, There's

608
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 10: gonna be days where I need him. There's gonna be

609
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 10: days where he needs me. And that's just the like

610
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 10: I said, that's a mentality we we have in this room.

611
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 10: So I'm always there for him, just trying to encourage

612
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 10: him that he's capable of doing anything that he wants

613
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 10: to do, and just to see him back out there.

614
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 10: I know that he's excited that it's been a little

615
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 10: rough journey for him too, So I just try and

616
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 10: give him whatever words that.

617
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: I can do.

618
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 3: It's like you're one more place.

619
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: Is there someone?

620
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 8: Is there someone you think flying on the radar on

621
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 8: the steam that's set up for a breakout season or

622
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 8: surprise season.

623
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 10: Damn, I make you, uh is it that have to be?

624
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 7: I don't know. I all of us.

625
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: Like we're all ready to break out?

626
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:51,000
