1
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: You kind of have to bet on yourself a little

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: bit as far as you know, trusting your instincts as

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: a player and who you are as a person and

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: just going out there and playing your best football. Yeah. Yeah,

5
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: you don't want to be the guy like belly bumps

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:17,479
Speaker 1: him and then he's like fall into the ground and

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: then you kind of look like an idiot. There was

8
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: stuff I was like, Pittsburgh Winns they beat the Giants

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,680

Speaker 1: don't know, We'll see and you gotta give me credit.

22
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: I felt pretty confident about this one all the way through.

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: You're pretty strong on the doves. What was your final

24
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:28,759

26
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: And then in the press box was get a little nervous.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: I know you're referring to about some people around here.

28
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: It's get a little nervous a lot. But that was

29
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: not quickly raised because it was a pretty close game

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: there in the first quarter, but second quarters started to

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: get out the gas. Yeah. Uh, this team is is

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: just really good. I mean, it's just it's a great

33
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: time to be a Ravens fan. It's a great time

34
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: to be a Ravens employee. We're hitting up the food

35
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: trucks on Tuesday after you when maybe the food trucks

37
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: fun right now. There's Raven's fever in Baltimore. I know

38
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: two different couples who are friends of ours who have

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: bought tickets to Miami. Really yeah, they just want ahead,

40
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: just went ahead and got the flight. If it doesn't

41
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: have to get cancel it. They get good fair. I

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: don't know what fair was how do you cancel it?

43
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: You can't get your money less, you get your yeah

44
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: stuff less. That's the way to go exactly. See, my

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: father in law is already looking at the airbnbs. We

46
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: gotta go, yeah, because the flights, you know, those will

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: go up in a hurry. Airbnbs are going up already too. Yeah.

48
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: So uh so I know people who are already booked

49
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: on their flights to Miami for the Super Bowl. I mean,

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start looking at some restaurants. Oh yeah, check

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: it out. Which finger are you gonna get the ring on? Pinky?

52
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it too much to go pinky ring?

53
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: I think that's a pretty fall move. All right. Before

54
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: we get into our interview with Matt, we've got some

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: from Mike Bowman and the and the email says, as

69
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here on a Sunday night after sensational yet

70
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: typical Lamar performance, it got me thinking about how there's

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: something about Lamar that I can't really stand. He's so

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: good and entertaining, ruined these standalone Sunday on Monday night games.

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: We're so spoiled to watch the Morrow play sixteen times

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: a year plus the playoffs, that I can't watch this

75
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: Bears offense or anyone else anymore. They're two boring. It's true,

76
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: that's so true. I thought that when I was watching

77
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: what the third the Browns Steelers game Thursday night game

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: and night I went to bed before the frecas at

79
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: the end, so I missed the most interesting part of

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: the game. Um, but I was just watching that game

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: and I was like godly day, Like I remember the

82
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: days when I would watch other games and be like, man,

83
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: why can't the Ravens offense do this stuff? This stuff

84
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: looks great and creative, and like why are we not

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: doing this? And then now I watched these other offenses

86
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, this varsity you know, it's awesome.

87
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: It's awesome now to be like the bell of the ball.

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: You know, everybody wants to be like the Ravens offense.

89
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. And we're gonna talk to a guy

90
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: who's a really important piece of that Ravens offense. Yeah

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: you like that, and that would be center Matt Screws.

92
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: So that's jump into the interview with Matt. Matt, we

93
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: gotta start off by asking you about your T shirt

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: that you wore to the games, made some ways of

95
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: the Lamar Jackson thrill Up. Can you tell us where

96
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: you got the shirt and you know what inspired you

97
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: to to put it on that day? Yeah, I was

98
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: doing a radio show down in Canonsville and um, just

99
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: random guy just came up to me. He was like, hey, uh,

100
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: I got the shirt for you, and he like opened

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: it up and it's like, you know, the Lamar Jackson

102
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: Mar's face on Michael Jackson and I was like, yeah, sure,

103
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I'll take it, like you know whatever. And then I

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: take it home, and um, I started thinking like, man,

105
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: I should wear it for the game. I think it

106
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: would be kind of funny. And then um, my wife

107
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: is like, yeah, you really got to do it. I

108
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: think it would be really good. So my wife was

109
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: kind of like the one pushing me to do it.

110
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, I didn't realize I was gonna blow

111
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: up the way it did. I thought it was just

112
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: kind of be on like the inst the story of

113
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens, and everyone just like passes through it. But

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: then uh, I saw the Ravens put it on like

115
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: their main page, and then Sports Illustrated we posted it,

116
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: and then ESPN and all the other people on Twitter

117
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: where yeah, and I was like, oh man, this is

118
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: like blowing up way more than I thought it would.

119
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: But no, it was really funny when you when you

120
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: break out, and I feel like that it's got to

121
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: live beyond just the instant story. I mean that's like

122
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: that was main page worthy right there. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

123
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: And I didn't really think it would be just because

124
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: some other guys have some really good you know fashion

125
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: designer clothes. I mean, the starting center isn't usually the

126
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: one expected to make the fashion stands, right exactly. I

127
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: think I'm the most like unassuming person, so I think

128
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: that's probably what also added to it. That's pretty great. Well, Uh,

129
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: you know, we get we do have to talk about

130
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: blocking for Lamar and uh and I kind of do

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 1: feel bad though whenever I talk to people like on

132
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: the offense, it's always about Lamar. So we will get

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: to you first. We do have to talk about Lamar

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: and what is what is the challenge of blocking for him?

135
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: How different does he make things for you? I would say,

136
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: like it's not a huge challenge, but just like as

137
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 1: far as knowing where he's going to be in the pocket, um,

138
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times you'll see him like

139
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: run through the line of scrimmage right behind me or

140
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: Bozeman or Marshall, um. And I would say that's just

141
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: like the hardest part because you don't want to get

142
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 1: caught up in like holding someone um. And you just

143
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: have to make sure you're good with your hands and

144
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: as soon as you like see are out of like

145
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: your peripheral you just kind of like let go and

146
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: he's just fast enough where he can just run by people. Um.

147
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, you know when plays break down

148
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: or anything like that and he starts running on his own,

149
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: you kind of just played by your instincts and uh

150
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: see that he starts running and started blocking people in

151
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: front of you, and usually he'll make you right and

152
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: make you look at so um yeah, just trying not

153
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: to overthink you too much. And I imagine you you

154
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to be the guy who like trips lamar,

155
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, like way and stopped and taking a run.

156
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: That's trouble. Yeah, yeah, you don't want to be the

157
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: guy like belly bumps him and then he's like fall

158
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: into the ground and then you kind of look like

159
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: an idiot. But but yeah, no, it's it's definitely a

160
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: fine line and just kind of not forcing like anything

161
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: to happen and just kind of letting him make the

162
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: decisions where to go and then just playing off of that.

163
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Could you talk about how fun it is to be

164
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: part of this offense, Like I think a lot of

165
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: Ravens fans are watching this team and this is the

166
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: most fun team that people in Baltimore have probably watched ever.

167
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: For the Ravens particular offense. You know. I mean like

168
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: this team has won two Super Bowls, but it's been

169
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: from you know, especially the two thousand team was defense.

170
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: This seem is so much fun to watch. Like how

171
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: much fun does it to be part of it as

172
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: a player. Yeah, it's definitely a lot of fun. Um,

173
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: the big plays and just being part of some of

174
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: Lamar's like amazing jukes and runs like that's really cool too. UM.

175
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of it too, just like

176
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: from the locker room, like just from the whole week.

177
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: You know, we're a really close knick group, um, as

178
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: an offense and as a team in general. So I

179
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: think that really helps to um. You know, when you're

180
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: cheering each other on and you want each other to

181
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: do well. So I think that's what also is part

182
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: of it too. You know, when uh it's Gusts or

183
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews or Anger or whoever scores a touchdown, Uh,

184
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, we're all really happy for him. We're all

185
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: celebrating in the end zone together. So I think that

186
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: brings a special element to the team as well. You know,

187
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: we're all trying to play for each other and we

188
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: want to see each other succeed. Do you get a

189
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: sense during a game how incredible some of these players are,

190
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Because there was an awesome moment. It was against the

191
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Bengals and Joe d is talking to you guys on

192
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: on the offensive line and we caught it and we

193
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: shared it and wired where he basically says, wait, so

194
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: you guys see this replay and I think it was ron.

195
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: He was like, see it. I was blocking for him, Like,

196
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't need to see the replay. I was out

197
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: there on the field. I had the best view in

198
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: the house. I saw that unfold. But I do get

199
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: his point because I feel like there's an element of

200
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: like you're just in the play and you probably have

201
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to wait and then you see these plays on replay

202
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: and you're like, wow, that looks even better. At the

203
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: same time, yeah, for sure. Um that one with Lamar,

204
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: I mean I had kind of this is not bad,

205
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: Like I kind of stopped because I was like, okay,

206
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: like three guys are around him, like I think, you know,

207
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: we got a good guardage play, but he's gonna get

208
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: tackled and then he's fun out of it. I'm like,

209
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: oh my gosh. Like so I just started spreading because

210
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm just so excited because I know he's about to score. UM.

211
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: And then you go and watch like the replays of

212
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: it UM shared everywhere, and it's it's still you appreciated

213
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: that much more and and it is really fun to

214
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: be a part of that. Um you know the one

215
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: where Lamar and I had, the one with the Patriots,

216
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: like that one was really cool. Um. But yeah, it

217
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: is cool to experience that live and then also being

218
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: able to go back and watch, uh because you're still

219
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,959
Speaker 1: kind of like build up back sidem like, oh, I

220
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: don't know what's about that, but he's about to get

221
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: tackle and then he like makes like this incredible play

222
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: that you already know what's gonna happen. But uh, yeah,

223
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: it's really fun to be a part of that. You

224
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: mentioned getting the T shirt from the fan. Do you

225
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: get a sense, being around Baltimore and interacting some with

226
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: fans just how starved this city was for an offense

227
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: like this after such a long defensive tradition. Yeah, I

228
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, um, surprisingly I get noticed more.

229
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: Any this is the ultimate right like it was. It

230
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: was nice, like you know, for the last three years

231
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: I could go kind of incognito to like anywhere I wanted,

232
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: no one knew who I was. Uh, you know, I

233
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: could kind of go as like wherever I want. And

234
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: then now, like on Monday night, my wife and I

235
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: were eating dinner and a woman like you know comes

236
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: up to us and talks to us or um in

237
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: the grocery store or whatever. People like recognize me. So

238
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: I'm not used to that part, um. But yeah, you

239
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: can just see when people, when you talk to people

240
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: wherever out in public, that they're really exciting. They're always

241
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: talking about the big plays and how exciting this has

242
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: been for them. Um. And it's definitely cool to bring

243
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: that excitement to the city and just to feel that

244
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: on Sundays when we're at home. Um, just the atmosphere

245
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: of the stadium everything that it's pretty cool. Does anybody

246
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 1: bring up the Seattle play where you didn't snap the

247
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: ball in the time right nowt Lamar lost? Not yeah,

248
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: not not really, um, but yeah, I was like, I

249
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: was mad at myself for that play even happening. But

250
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think the biggest com or uh comment

251
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: I saw was like, oh, like I don't like Lamar

252
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: getting mad at Screw. I'm like, man, I'm just mad

253
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: at myself. I mean he didn't get that mad. I

254
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: mean he could have done a lot worse. You know,

255
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: we're all like competing like heat of the moment, like

256
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: we're close to scoring and something like that happens. So um, yeah, no,

257
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: I didn't mind at all. I mean I've had coaches

258
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: say worse to me and you tap on the helmet

259
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: kind of like mind for like a second and then

260
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: he's like it's all yeah, yeah, No. I understood his frustration,

261
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: and luckily we were able to finish on that drive

262
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: and make a big play. So we obviously want to

263
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: talk about you, uh and your season and your eyes

264
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: to get to this point, how uh you know, validating

265
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: is it for you to be playing at the level

266
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: that you are. You've you've clearly earned a starting spot

267
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: and you're playing it at such a high level. Um,

268
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: and you know people questioned it and all that stuff, Like,

269
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: I gotta believe for you that you have to feel,

270
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of pride about the way that

271
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: you're playing right now. Yeah, for sure, And um, you

272
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: know it's definitely a different path than what a lot

273
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: of people have taken. And I know that, um, having

274
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: the undrafted free agent tag, there comes a lot of

275
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more criticism or critiques and people will

276
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: may watch you a little bit closer, um when things

277
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: go bad rather than things are going good. And so UM,

278
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: I kind of just took that in stride and UM

279
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: use it as motivation, just worked on my craft. UM

280
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: and those are the biggest things for me that like,

281
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think a duke, Um, it took me,

282
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of years to like really get

283
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: into that starting role where I was playing at a

284
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: high level. And I think the same thing happened here

285
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. You know, my practice squad year, UM,

286
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was a really big year for me

287
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: for my growth as just knowledge of football and just strength,

288
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: getting bigger and stronger, and then just kind of building

289
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: on every single year past that. So um, that's been

290
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing for me is just um improving year

291
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: to year, taking the things that um, I really did

292
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: like about my game from past years and building on them,

293
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: and then seeing the things that I didn't do well

294
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: and just really making sure I honed in on those

295
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: during the off season. UM. And yeah, I mean I

296
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: don't know, I just I just feel like I gotta

297
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: keep playing at that high level and um, continue to

298
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: prove people wrong. I like your confidence. Uh, Like I

299
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: remember background draft time, you know, I'm sure you heard

300
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: of people like other Ravens gonna draft an interior offensive

301
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: linemen and that's an area where they could they could

302
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: bulk up or whatever. And you were like, well, I

303
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: think we're you know, I feel like I'm gonna be

304
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: the starter this year, Like you were confident. Is that

305
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: just part of your makeup? Um? I mean I guess

306
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I feel like you kind of have to force yourself

307
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: to be confident, Like I'm just not a very like

308
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: outgoing guy and all that stuff. So I think being

309
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you kind of have to force yourself

310
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: to be confident because if you are starting to question

311
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: yourself or leave any room for you know, self doubt,

312
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: then that's when it comes in when your play starts

313
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: to you know, maybe decrease, or someone comes in and

314
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: starts playing well and you kind of get nervous and

315
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: tensed up. Um. Yeah, you just kind of have to

316
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: build confidence within yourself. UM. Build confidence when you go

317
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: out on the practice field during training camp, build it

318
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: when you're in the preseason, um, and just use it

319
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: as motivation and um yeah, I mean I don't know,

320
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: you just kind of have to build confidence in that

321
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: way and just know that, uh, you kind of have

322
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: to bet on yourself a little bit as far as

323
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, trusting your instincts as a player and who

324
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: you are as a person and just going out there

325
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: and playing your best football. One thing I think that's

326
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: really cool about that too, is you know, like you said,

327
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: being undrafted, there there's a label kind of put on guys,

328
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: and I feel like oftentimes when a player starts out

329
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: on the practice squad and it spends really an entire

330
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: year on the practice squad, you don't often see that

331
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: player arise become a multi year starter, you know what

332
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Like someone drafted free agents. I feel like

333
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: they hit training camp and then they kind of blow

334
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: up or over the their first summer as a rookie

335
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: and people are like, Wow, they really missed him, and

336
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: he kind of immediately becomes an impact player. But once

337
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: you go to the practice squad, I just find that

338
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: it's hard for guys to really rise to your level

339
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: from the practice squad. What would if you were to

340
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: say the one thing that's most important in doing that,

341
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, in grinding in that way or whatever, having

342
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: the patients, whatever it is, you know, how is somebody

343
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: able to do that? Yeah, I think, Uh, the biggest

344
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: thing for me was like my mindset. So, um, obviously

345
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: I wasn't happy with making the practice squad, but I

346
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: knew that I had to make the most out of

347
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: my situation. So um, my first year, like on practice squad,

348
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I was gonna be you know, diligent with being the

349
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: best scout team player. I wasn't gonna make mistakes. So

350
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: I was, um, I'm gonna do everything I could on

351
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: the field, doing extra reps after practice, whatever it took,

352
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: um in the weight room, making sure um I do

353
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: everything they're do everything for my best effort. Um. And yeah,

354
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think for me, it wasn't getting complacent

355
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: because sometimes guys say, well I made the practice squad,

356
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: So I mean that's not bad and I can probably

357
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: get on the next next year, or you know kind

358
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: of just keep like status quo. And so that offseason, Um,

359
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: I just went you know, full pedal to the medal

360
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: with you know, training and getting bigger and stronger, and

361
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just kind of put it in

362
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: my mind that like I'm I don't want to accept,

363
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: you know, another failure and so um and that year

364
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: I got put on practice squad again for two games,

365
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 1: which was really tough, but then eventually got to start

366
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: twelve games at right guards. So um, yeah, I think

367
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: just not letting your guard down. I mean I think

368
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: guys will do that and then you know they have

369
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: to get caught up to the fifty three and are

370
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 1: expected to perform and then they're not ready you know, mentally,

371
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: physically or whatever. Um. See, I think just for me,

372
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: it was just a mentality of always like being ready,

373
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: working hard, um and if you do that, you know

374
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: things will fall in the right place. And so I

375
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: just never want to be complacent and just kind of

376
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: um just being the best player I can. It's kind

377
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: of cool to how you've gone about it your own

378
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: way because you replaced Ryan Jensen, who was a totally

379
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: different kind of guy, and that he was this long

380
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,479
Speaker 1: haired wild man you know, who like kind of made

381
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: a reputation to fight every day during practice a fighter,

382
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: and like you go about it like you're like the

383
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: nicest guy and but you know, still kicking people's butts. Um.

384
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 1: So like I guess what was that like replacing him?

385
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, I think um, that was like one

386
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: of the harder things too, because everyone was trying to

387
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: compare me to Jensen, like, oh, what are you gonna

388
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: what do you learn from him? Or how are you

389
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: gonna be like him? Or um, And that was just

390
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: like the hardest thing that Uh, the first year of

391
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: me starting at Center was like trying to break that

392
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: mold and just being like, Hey, I'm my own person,

393
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: on my own player, um, and you know, I'm not

394
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: going to be someone who I'm not like. I don't know,

395
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: I just can't turn into like that kind of person.

396
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know your hair out right now.

397
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: It wouldn't work. It doesn't work. Yeah, So yeah, I

398
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: think that was the biggest thing for me, is just

399
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 1: like making my name known and kind of separating myself

400
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: from that time when Jensen was at the Center and

401
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: just being like okay, like there's a new person taking over.

402
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: I gotta believe though that Jensen's path which wasn't all

403
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: that different from yours. He was a six round pick,

404
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: then he went to the practice squad, and he spend

405
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: a year on the practice squad, and then he gets

406
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,239
Speaker 1: in the starting lineup and he played well and then

407
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: he gets the big payday. I gotta believe that you

408
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: looked at that how it happened here and you don't.

409
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: It's not motivation, but you gotta believe, like why could

410
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: that not be me? Like why could I not have?

411
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: Why can I not be a guy that's getting the

412
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: richest center contract in three years? Yeah? Yeah, for sure,

413
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, um, and that's definitely motivation and things that,

414
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: um you see come to reality and you're like, oh man,

415
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: like that's it's pretty awesome for him, where you know,

416
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: kind of like the similar story. So um yeah, I

417
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 1: mean I think I just gotta keep on playing well

418
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: and just hope hopefully, um things will go in the

419
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: right direction that way. And um, I try not to

420
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,959
Speaker 1: think about that stuff too much because um sometimes I

421
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: feel like guys can focus on that too much and

422
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: then it because it starts affecting their game. Whereas me,

423
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm just like, all right, I'm just gonna put my

424
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: game out there and then let the dust settle and

425
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: see where it goes from there. But yeah, I mean

426
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: seeing Jensen and getting paid what he did was awesome,

427
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: and um yeah, I mean we'll just have to see.

428
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: So you're a Pittsburgh guy, right, big Steelers fan? Can

429
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: you share the listeners here about your now hidden Steelers

430
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: fandom are buried? I guess not hidden? Yeah, yeah, I

431
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: mean I would say it's definitely buried. I Uh. I

432
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: had to go back in my Instagram, like not too

433
00:20:54,119 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: long ago, because there was stuff was like Pittsburgh wins,

434
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: they beat the Giants or whatever like that. I was like, man,

435
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: I got it to leave this stuff. Yeah, good thing.

436
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: I never actually said anything about the Ravens. I was

437
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: just like always congratulating the Steelers on their wins, and

438
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I mean I like when I was,

439
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: you know, three or four years old, I had like

440
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: a full like helmet and jersey and pants and um yeah,

441
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: I had all like the Steelers jerseys everything like that.

442
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,199
Speaker 1: So it was a little tough, um breaking that and

443
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: also just telling my family that I was gonna be

444
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: playing for the Ravens because you know, they're all die

445
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: hard Steelers fans and so now they just kind of

446
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: put their Steeler stuff to like a little bit back

447
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: in the closet and then just have my my Ravens

448
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: stuff at the front. They ever wear their Steelers stuff anymore.

449
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: There's no way that hard, right, And you know, we

450
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: have still some friends back in Pittsburgh, so you know

451
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: they'll get invited to a Steelers game just for like

452
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: a random game, not against us, but I'll see them

453
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: in like Penguins Jersey or Steelers Jersey and like, all

454
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: right whatever. Obviously you guys haven't given up on that yet.

455
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: But my dad still has like the license plate frame

456
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: that has like Steelers, like Pittsburgh Steelers and all that stuff.

457
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, curious how you were a Steelers fan though,

458
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: because you grew up in Columbus, right, went to high

459
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: school in Columbus, which I'm a Columbus guy too, and

460
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: so I'm curious, why not the Browns of the Bengals. Well,

461
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: I was born in Pittsburgh, So I was born in

462
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and then yeah, and then I uh so I

463
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: moved to Columbus when I was like fourteen, um, and

464
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: so I hated the Browns like that was like above

465
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: anyone else, like any team, but I think above the

466
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: Ravens honestly, Like I don't even know why. I just

467
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 1: hated Cleveland. Um, but yeah, there were It's a weird

468
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: like melting pot in Columbus, Like there's actually a good

469
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: bit of Steelers fans and then like the since and

470
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: Cleveland fans are kind of sprinkled in there. Um, so yeah,

471
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of fit in a little

472
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: bit better with the Steeler stuff. But did you hate

473
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: the Ravens and your kid? I mean, you can't say

474
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 1: I did. So I was a Browns fan, So I did,

475
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 1: so you can say yes, honestly, Like I didn't hate

476
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: them that much. I just I think I really respected

477
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: the rivalry more than anything. Like I just loved like

478
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: the physical nature of that game and like it was

479
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: always gonna be really good. Um but political any but really,

480
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: I honestly hated I hated the Browns the most. I

481
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 1: don't even know why. I just say I just did

482
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: not like the Browns. That was like kind of the

483
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: team that I hated. And now and now you are

484
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: going up against another Pittsburgh guy who went to the

485
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: University of Pittsburgh and Aaron Donald. You were saying in

486
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: the locker room you think maybe you went up against

487
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: him in high school too. Yeah in college? Yeah, so,

488
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: um he was really good in high school. Uh, And

489
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: so it was like a couple of years ago. I'm like,

490
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I think him and I like kind

491
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: of crossed paths when I was in Pittsburgh, and I

492
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: think I checked the roster and he was pen Hills

493
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: High School. So I'm pretty sure I have to find

494
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: the game somewhere on YouTube or something like that where,

495
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: uh see if if he was on the field, because

496
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he was. And then in college you

497
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: got him, and I watched the clip that you were

498
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: talking about today where he tackles the running back and

499
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Yeah, yeah, that was pretty impressive. And um,

500
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: like I was saying, for I didn't want to throw

501
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: my right tackle under the bus, but he was supposed

502
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: to like slow him down for me so I could

503
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: get back there. And uh literally as I took my

504
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: first step, like he was up the field so fast

505
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: and tackle both guys, I'm like, all right, well you

506
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: kind of made like a diving effort kind of Yeah. Yeah,

507
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 1: that's definitely there. Yeah. I tried to do everything to like,

508
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, maybe distract him for a second, but yeah,

509
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: definitely didn't stop him much. I think it'll be a

510
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: little better off with Marcia Hontitty your right side, well, Matt,

511
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, a pleasure and best of

512
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: luck in the rematch. Thanks. Thanks, all right, we're really

513
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: good stuff. It is funny the Pittsburgh thing. And one

514
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: thing we didn't get into, uh until here after we

515
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: stopped recording, is he's also he also went to the Duke,

516
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: So not only is he a Steelers fan growing up

517
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: when he went to Duke, he's like the most hated

518
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: man in Maryland pretty much. And he even he actually

519
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 1: talked about that real quick about how when he was

520
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: first of rookie, fans are like get the yea and

521
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: he's like, man, this is I don't know how this

522
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: is gonna work out right, But he's done well. He's

523
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: I think it's because he's such a nice guy. You know,

524
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: he can defuse some of that a little bit. I

525
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: didn't know the Steelers story until you brought it up

526
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: that he's from Pittsburgh, just that he was a Steelers

527
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: because I knew, like I said, he's a Columbus guy

528
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: and so I knew that about him. I didn't know

529
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 1: the Steelers thing. Yeah, big time Steelers guy, big time Dukie.

530
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: So we got we got some beef now too. As

531
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: a urt myself. Yeah, I think it's always funny because

532
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: you guys who are terps grass, what are you about

533
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: to say? Well, I just think it's funny because you

534
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: pretend to like make Duke like it's your rival and

535
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: it's not even close to your rival it was when

536
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: I was there. Yeah, it's it's like, oh, there are

537
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: because I remember beating them in the ac ketball game. Garrett,

538
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: what Ohio Ohio? Well that's the thing. I went to Ohio,

539
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: but I'm an Ohio State fan. I don't have this.

540
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 1: That's pathetic, don't You can't go to one school and

541
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: then say you're a fan of the other. Yeah, it

542
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: has to be your albuma mater. That is the latest

543
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: thing I've ever I've always thought that's the dumbest argument

544
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: I've ever heard, because if you go, if you grow

545
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: up for eighteen years, you go to Ohio State, you

546
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: grow up for eighteen years, and you root for a

547
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: school throughout your entire life, and then you go to

548
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: another school, you're supposed to just throw away that fandom.

549
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,239
Speaker 1: You root for the school that you go to. So

550
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: for the first eighteen years of the life your life,

551
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: you can't have a Matt Screw had to change the

552
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: lead assist, didn't he. Yeah, well I didn't you supposed to. Yeah.

553
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: So anyway, like I was saying, you, Maryland people are

554
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: so blind to the fact that it's not a real rivalry.

555
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't. I'm sure. I'm sure Matt would agree. I'm

556
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: sure Matt would agree. We beat them in a lot

557
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: of big games. Yeah, let's asking we need to have

558
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: mad back what rivalries are, because you went, you're a bobcat.

559
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: The hell's a bobcat? You don't know what a bobcat is?

560
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: How dumb are you? What is a content? It's a cat, idiot?

561
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: All right, that's enough to make it. It's it's bigger

562
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: than a normal house cat. It's smaller than a lion.

563
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: It would get its butt kicked by a turt Yeah, okay,

564
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: good one. All right, let's jump me into this interview

565
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 1: with PFT commenter. We are happy to be joined by

566
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: PFT commentor a favorite of ours here, I mean long

567
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: time favorite, longtime favorite. Keeps us laughing. I still remember

568
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about before we started this interview, or

569
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: talk to you about it, uh, the interview that we

570
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: had with you about Joe Flacco back in the Day

571
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger, in which we couldn't use half of

572
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: the interview because you were Ben Roethlisberger's intelligence so much

573
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: so now we're talking about the new quarterback p FT.

574
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: And I listened to your podcast this week and I

575
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: hear that you think the Ravens are gonna win the

576
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 1: super Bowl. You're putting your you're you're steak in the

577
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: grounds that the Ravens are winning the super Bowl this year.

578
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: I did say that. I say a lot of things

579
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: on the podcast, to be fair, most of which don't

580
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: end up coming true. Like I think the my preseason

581
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: prediction for the Dolphins was that they were going to

582
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: go seven and nine, and that's you know, it's not

583
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: it's not real. Actually know what I think. I said

584
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: nine and seven, and then I switched it. I accepted myself.

585
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: I told everybody that I really said seven and nine,

586
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: and I said it so much that even I started

587
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: to believe it at that point. But the bottom line is,

588
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be wrong about that Dolphins prediction. I'm wrong

589
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: about a lot of predictions, but I do think that

590
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens are gonna win the Super bowls year.

591
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: I think that that's that good. That different On offense,

592
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: they're uh, is there an opportunistic defense so it's kind

593
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: of been but don't break it to take advantage of

594
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: turnover situation on defense? And uh, I think they have

595
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: a very easy division two. Well, I you know, I

596
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: hope you're not wrong about this prediction because you also

597
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: have in addition to saying the Dolphins were gonna go

598
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: seven and nine, I pretty I'm pretty sure you said

599
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna win out, the Jets are gonna win out,

600
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: maybe the Bills are gonna win out. You have like

601
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: eight different teams that are gonna win out who we're

602
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: all on the Ravens schedule the rest of the way.

603
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: So I'm not sure how much to buy what you're selling. Yeah. Well, Also,

604
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: all those other teams that I mentioned that White went out,

605
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: they all played each other at least once, if not twice,

606
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know, there might be a lot of ties.

607
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Maybe just not lose out. How about that? I like that?

608
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: So how much are you enjoying watching Lamar and uh?

609
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: And as a guy who donned the shades on the

610
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: sidelines and yourself being a person who never takes off

611
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: the shades how much did you enjoy that? I enjoyed

612
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: it quite a bit. I think more than enjoying Lamar

613
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: was I was thrilled to see RG three get back

614
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: in there. Uh. The heisman backfield was great. Took me

615
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: back to watching him back in two thousand twelves. I

616
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: love RG three, I always will. Um he is Uh,

617
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: he's I think he's learned. Actually, I would give Argie

618
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: three some credit when he got that when he took

619
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: that offload, when he took that pitch back. Uh, he

620
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: did not run into an opposing player. He ran to

621
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and that's something that is a foreign concept

622
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: to him. Uh. And I'm proud of him for adapting

623
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: his game and learning and moving on. I wish nothing

624
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: but the best for him. But to speak on Lamar Jackson,

625
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: Lamar is a problem. He's a problem. I think he's

626
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: a little unsporting at times because he makes opponents look

627
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: so very foolish when they try to tackle him, and

628
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: he seems like he's moving at Uh. It's not that

629
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: he seems like he's moving at a higher rate of

630
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: speed than everybody else. He makes everyone else look incredibly slow,

631
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: and he doesn't look that fast when he runs because

632
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: he's so smooth. When he goes fast, he just makes

633
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: everybody else look like they've got a bucket of cement

634
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: that's attached to their foot, and he makes professional athletes

635
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: look foolish on a regular basis. And so for that,

636
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Lamar be a little bit more

637
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: sporting and maybe allow himself to be tackled once in

638
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: a while, just to not hook the other guys can

639
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: so much. But besides that, Lamar is. He is fun

640
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: to watch. He is. I'm not ready to say to

641
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: the word. I'm not ready to stay elite just yet

642
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: because he hasn't won Super Bowl. But I think we're

643
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: at the stage in Lamar Jackson's career where he is

644
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: elite enough to the point where we're asking is Lamar

645
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: Jackson the elite? I was gonna say, wait a second,

646
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: because I'm once again confused because you sent me a

647
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: full box of T shirts with Lamar Jackson Elite on it. Yeah,

648
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: that's true, absolutely right, And I'm not saying that I

649
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: won't make money off the factor. Uh no, what what

650
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: the elite churchs actually mean? And it was the same

651
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: thing with Blaco, who is a fake favor to mine

652
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: when you guys have in Baltimore, uh is the elite

653
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 1: question is being asked, But right now the conversation is happening.

654
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Is Lamar Jackson elite? So that's really what the church represents.

655
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: And if I think that, I think that, uh, Lamar

656
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: Jackson is going to be the most fun quarterback to

657
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: watch in football for as long as he stays healthy.

658
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: I know that everybody's saying that, like when when is

659
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 1: he going to get hurt? Hopefully never, but there's always

660
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: that question about Lamar and the style of football that

661
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: he plays. Is he gonna get a clean shot taken

662
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: on him? I hope he doesn't, but he seems pretty

663
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: good at avoiding contact. It's like him and and Ted

664
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Skin or Ted Jinn or however pronounced the same. Those

665
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: are the two guys that are the best players in

666
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: football are avoiding contact. But Lamar does it while staying

667
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: in bounds, while Ted does it by running like six

668
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: rows deep on the sidelines to get away from new

669
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: but it's trying to tackle him. So Lamar, he's got

670
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: an excellent skill set and he's incredibly getted out of

671
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: avoiding those big hits. So he's gonna be the most

672
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,239
Speaker 1: fun player to watch the football I think for the

673
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: next five, six, seven years. But again I said that

674
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: at one point about arg three too, So I hope

675
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: to be I hope to be right this time, right,

676
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: right right. I think you make a good point about

677
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: Lamar and the sportsmanship thing, and so he just got

678
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: nominated as like the Art Rooney Sports and Ship Guy

679
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: of the Year. But when you're out there breaking guys ankles, yeah,

680
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: he puts a lot of guys on the other end

681
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: of a high highlight reel. We were so during training camp,

682
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: we were practicing against the Eagles, and he put he

683
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: did at one time to this guy put his put

684
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: him on skates so bad. And we had this camera

685
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: on the shot and it showed the Eagles sideline and

686
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: their players reaction to their own guy getting put on

687
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: his butt was like just savage. I mean, they were

688
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: all like, oh about their guy. It was so bad.

689
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: We didn't even post that clip to the guys feelings.

690
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: We feel free to send that to me out pretending

691
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: to not know where YEA. One thing I want I'm

692
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: worried about is your podcast, mate, big Cat. He seems

693
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: to put himself kind of like in the eye of

694
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: the storm with Ravens Twitter. What's what's the deal with that? Yeah,

695
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: he used the f word pretty early in the season.

696
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: He called the Ravens frouds. And as a long time

697
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: sports talk show lister and even longer time sports talk

698
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 1: show caller, I can tell you that saying the F

699
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: word fraud is the worst thing that you can say

700
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: about anyone. You can go the scale goes, uh, they stink,

701
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: they suck, they're bums, and then they're frauds. Those are

702
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: those are the four levels of hatreds that that a

703
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,439
Speaker 1: sports fan can bestow upon a team, and Big Cat

704
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: jumped straight into fraud and fraud is there's that's that's

705
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,240
Speaker 1: fighting words. It's on site if somebody calls your fraud.

706
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 1: So I think he's he took back the fraud word

707
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: when you beat the Seahawks. I believe that's when he

708
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 1: said he presented. But to me, the stink is always

709
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 1: going to be there. You don't forget your first time

710
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: listening to a Panther album. You don't forget the first

711
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: time that somebody calls your team of fraud. And so

712
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't blame Ravens Twitter for for not letting go

713
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,879
Speaker 1: of that, because that's a very mean thing that he said.

714
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: But he is trying to He's evolved his thoughts on

715
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens. I'll say it that way. He doesn't get that. Yeah,

716
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: he admitted a bad take, which is something I rarely do.

717
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: So he at least admitted that he was wrong. But

718
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame them if there was some lingering. But

719
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: just no, Ravens, I'm on your side. I've been on

720
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: your side for a long time. Did you turn back

721
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: I do n't. On Twitter, gret No, no, no, I

722
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: didn't turn back at him. I just saw I just

723
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: saw him early on, you know, saying the Ravens are frauds,

724
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: and then I saw the dropping the effort, and then

725
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: I saw him trying to backtrack and basically get back

726
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: in the good graces of Ravens Twitter. It sounds like

727
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: he's that's like his mission right now, and so I

728
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,720
Speaker 1: just wanted to know if you thought we should forgive him.

729
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: I think I think you can forgive, but don't forget.

730
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like how I'm in the same situation

731
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: with with Viking Twitter because of my constent hatred of

732
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins and love affair of cow Sloader, who they

733
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: cut at the end of training camp this year. So

734
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: I've been very mean to them and Dave didn't mean

735
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: back to me, and we have an understanding. At least.

736
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: Big Cat is trying to evolve. I'm tractor evolve like

737
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 1: Hims as well. I apologize for putting the dun chain

738
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: on him after week two. So you know, we all

739
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: make enemies in this business. If you're not making enemies,

740
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: you're not doing to give enough job. That's what I

741
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: always say. What's your what's your guy? And our guy

742
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: Danny would head up to these days, That's a good question.

743
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: Danny is playing a lot of golf. He is having

744
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot of fun with his family. I haven't talked

745
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 1: to him in a while. Uh, we text occasionally. He's

746
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: I know he's really thriving in the time and he

747
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,359
Speaker 1: loves not having to be out there during the week

748
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: and practicing and training camp. I know, I know he

749
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: must miss it on Sundays going out there with guys,

750
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: but he doesn't miss all the stuff besides that. Uh,

751
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: he did tell me that, um, he came up with

752
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl HAIRBT for me. So I don't know

753
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: if anybody out there is familiar with my history with Danny,

754
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: But I said I was not going to cut my

755
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: hair until Danny on the Super Bowl, and with that

756
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: was as a player, as a coach, I was gonna

757
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,399
Speaker 1: keep growing it. And uh, news flash, the Chargers didn't

758
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl and the Ravens didn't win a

759
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with him, and so now he doesn't want

760
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: to coach, and so my hair just keeps growing. So

761
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: he gave me a team last year and it seemed

762
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: that I was going to cut my hair for Last

763
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: year was Danny's first ever fantasy football team. Uh, so

764
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: he had never played fantasy football. He did his draft,

765
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: he managed his team. They got to I think it

766
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: was a second round of playoffs and they lost, so

767
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: it was close. It was close to him. I would

768
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: have liked. Uh. This year, he said that he wanted

769
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: me to cut my hair if Quintin Nelson won a

770
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl on the Colts, So that the Coulture are

771
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: now my team that I'm looking at, uh to try

772
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: to avoid having to having to make my first trip

773
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: to the barber in like six years. What's your fantasy

774
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 1: football team looked like and do you have any Ravens

775
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: on it, nobody cares about my pay. You guys are

Speaker 1: we know your jokes. Yeah, if nice, try, nice, try,

779
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,480

780
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: fancy team, you can listen to Hanks Fancy Football Podcast

781
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: because we talked a little bit about it on that.

782
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 1: Yeah don't, I don't. I'm not even going to mention

783
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: the name of it, so don't actually listen to it.

784
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure, thank you for calling it. But yeah,

785
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: no problem, I'm serious. You guys are a Super Bowl pick.

786
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about about watching the best here in

787
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Yeah I haven't really you know, would

788
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: and trying to get back and yeah, I was gonna say,

789
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: I think I think the vikings. I think it would

790
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: be a battle of apologies between me and Big Cat where, uh,

791
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: we're hated by one side and loved by the other.

792
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: So it would be a very natural progression of this season.

793
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's gonna be vikings against the against the Ravens.

794
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: And the game is play in prime time, So Kirk

795
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: Cousin is going to lose that game. It's a Ravens

796
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:11,560

Speaker 1: ours at pod that don't listen to part in my take,

804
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: So they're going to get a big boost this week

805
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: after his appearance on the Lounge. All right, before we

806
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: wrap up today, because we're getting kind of a long

807
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: we got another email here. This is from Tyler Gross

808
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and he says, I have a good nickname for Lamar Jackson.

809
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: And he's heard a few people compare him to a

810
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: video game and say he's a cheat code. What about

811
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: cheat code for his nickname? Just stop. We're still gonna

812
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: give him a what's his name, Tyler? Tyler is still

813
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 1: gonna get a Lounge C shirt. But bad nickname suggestion,

814
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: I'm just playing with you, you know, is just everybody's

815
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: trying to give Lamar a nickname. You know, we had

816
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: Larvlous remarkable after this last long run, we got now

817
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:21,279
Speaker 1: Seth Roberts is three L freak yell. Yeah, there's there's

818
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: new Era, which is his Instagram name. No, I don't

819
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: like new Era, but that's what that's when. Yeah, he's

820
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: maybe looking for a sponsorship. I mean, I like Action Jackson.

821
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: I think that's my favorite mar Really today he just

822
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: said he doesn't even care you can't force a nickname. Yeah,

823
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,240
Speaker 1: for his nickname, I kind of think like Action Jackson

824
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: was the most authentic. I like Action Jackson. Yeah. Yeah,

825
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,399
Speaker 1: all right, well let's just stick with that. I think

826
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 1: we just gave Lamar Jackson's nickname. We didn't we didn't

827
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: give him the nicknames had that nickname, I mean, but

828
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: we just made it officially. This whole debate is overs. Yeah, okay, Um,

829
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: and what are your thoughts about? Real quick? The game

830
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: on Monday night. But it's gonna be a really good game.

831
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. The way the Ravens are playing right now,

832
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: I feel confident that they can meet anybody anywhere. And um,

833
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: it's funny like listening to Lamar talk about it, and

834
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: you know, oh you know, do you have to be

835
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: concerned about Eric Weddle. He's one of the master's and skies,

836
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: and you know, he knows this offense like the back

837
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,720
Speaker 1: of his Handlmar was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I guess so.

838
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,400
Speaker 1: Oh Aaron Donald, Aaron Donald, he's a game record man.

839
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: He can get in the backfield, just totally strolling offense.

840
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 1: What do you think? What do you think of Aaron Donald?

841
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: How you gonna what are you doing? An impression of yourself? Now?

842
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: I just like, I kind of like, I just love

843
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think on that? Iron Donald?

844
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 1: I love how your media impression. But you are the

845
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: one asking some of these questions. I didn't ask either,

846
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: but yes, Geral, yes I do ask questions for players.

847
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: Uh so anyway, and then he's like, yeah, I mean

848
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is great, he's like best defense second league.

849
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do different? Nothing? You know,

850
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: I'm not really worried about my offense. Like, the thing

851
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: I love about Lamar is that he's so consistent in

852
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: every game. It's every game is a big game. One o'clock,

853
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 1: four o'clock, eight o'clock Monday, Thursday, Tuesday, Saturday, doesn't matter.

854
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: Well that was your dumb question. You're like, hey, and

855
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 1: he doesn't and he doesn't care exactly answer I wanted.

856
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: This has been a fun pod. Yeah, anyway, Monday night football.

857
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great game under the lights.

858
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 1: They're really good to you. When they came here for

859
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: training camp last year, you and I both looked at him.

860
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 1: You're like, man, these guys are huge. They're good. They

861
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: have a lot of talent. They I mean, that team

862
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: is just laden with superstars. I think the Ravens have

863
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: now also have some major superstar power and have more

864
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 1: depth than the Rams too, And I think that depth

865
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,880
Speaker 1: could show up in this game. I'm predicting Ravens dubs,

866
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna wait for the big at the end,

867
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, it works, Yeah, I

868
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: I I look at I mean, the Rams team, especially

869
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: on offense, has issues. They they're not the same offensive

870
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: firepower as they were. Well, they've been a lot better

871
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: at home than they have been on the road. Jared

872
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 1: Goff has struggled on the road, he has, but I'm

873
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: just saying in general, this is generally, you know, like

874
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 1: last year year they were the toast of town. Offensively,

875
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: they were basically where the Ravens are right now, and

876
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: everyone's talking about this offense is Sean And obviously Sean

877
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: McVeigh is a great coach, there's no question about that.

878
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 1: But their offense has not been the same um and

879
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: so I think that when I look at this, I

880
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: just feel like, if the Ravens put up twenty four points,

881
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Rams will score more than that. Like,

882
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Rams are gonna put up

883
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in this game with the way that the

884
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: Ravens defense is playing. And so if the Ravens can

885
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 1: get twenty to twenty four points, which I feel really

886
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 1: good about their ability to do, I think this is

887
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: a win. It's right now. The way the Ravens defense

888
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: is constructed, it makes it really hard to I mean,

889
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: when you have as many good coverage guys, good coverage corners,

890
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: it's tough to beat because it's one on one matchups

891
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: and you're just not gonna win that many one on

892
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: one matchups against Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters and Jim

893
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Smith and and those guys, and with Earl Thomas and

894
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,919
Speaker 1: Chuck Clark over the top, like those one on one

895
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: matchups are against elite players, and the Ravens just are

896
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: gonna win the majority, and that's helping the pass rush,

897
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: it's helping everything, yep, yep. So it'll be awesome. It'll

898
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 1: be another game in front of the entire world. And

899
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: if there was any moral levels for Lamar Mania to jump,

900
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if there are, but but if there are,

901
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 1: any great performance on Monday Night football in front of

902
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:32,240
Speaker 1: a national audience will really cement him as a front runner.

903
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: If he's not already, he is already the front runs.

904
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: This could really maybe create a gap. Like I said before,

905
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: I think it's this game. In the game, the Ravens

906
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: win both Lamar plays both in front of a national audience,

907
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: plays really well against Rahims, and then comes back and

908
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: beat the forty Niners defense, which has been the talk

909
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: of the town's defensively all year long. I think he's

910
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: got it locked up. All right. Um, well that's it

911
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: for this week. You can Garrett expect and Sam you

912
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: can expect. Boots pass bass passers,
