1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: Free agencies a different beast in itself. But I mean

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: my goal was always to come back, and I'm back

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: and honestly more happy than ever. So, you know, going

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: around the city eating, you know, before this COVID and

5
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: you know, people coming up to me telling me, don't leave.

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're, You're one of us who stay.

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: And that really meant a lot too, is just to

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: know that everywhere I went, every restaurant, store, and fans

9
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: were just like, you can't leave. And you know that

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: means a lot. With my injury history, teams don't know me.

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: You know, they don't know anything about me besides what

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: they've seen on TV or what they've seen on the tape.

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: But it wasn't enough to convince anybody's without a meeting

14
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: or interview, are physical without somebody really trying to sign me.

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: So I can't take it as a chip of my shoulder.

16
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna go out and play my game like

17
00:00:46,400 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: I always play my career. Welcome into the loud. We're

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: back in video mode. Unfortunately for all you out there

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: to have to stare at Garrett's ugly mug. You got

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: this that was a little too close. Nobody looks good that. Yeah,

21
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: I think you got some spinach at your teeth or

22
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: something like that. I can see what I have for

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: lunch here. But glad to be back, and we're glad

24
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: to have enough the guests. You have Jimmy Smith coming

25
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: on fresh off his one years deal to remain with

26
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens, just like you said when we interviewed him

27
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, which I actually side note.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: I like the way that he was approach in that

29
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Remember, because we interviewed him right before the

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: Titans playoff game and he was like Garrett, you're all

31
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: you're all cocky. You're like, yeah, this thinks in the bag,

32
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 1: and and Jimmy was like, hey, everybody's like kind of

33
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: feeling this way. We need to all slow our role

34
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: a little bit. And that's how I was feeling too.

35
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: So me and Jimmy like this, I don't want to say.

36
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I hate saying I told you so, yeah, why are

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: you bringing up bad memories? This is a happy I

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: was supposed to be. We're us to be looking forward.

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: This is a happy podcast. Jim I just want to

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: be positive. I don't want to know what the point

41
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: of that was. I don't know why I'm even going

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: down this, but really it's just to prove once again

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: that you're an idiot, So I always do a tangent

44
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: for that. Well, I'm not an idiot about the fact

45
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: that I said Jenny was gonna be back, and he

46
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: is back, and I'm excited about that. Uh So, without

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: any further ado, let's go ahead and jump into our

48
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: interview with recently resigned quarterback Jimmy Smith. Well, we're thrilled

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: to have Jimmy Smith on with us now, obviously in

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Do a little sight seeing in front of

51
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: the gold Gape Bridge. Jimmy, what brings you to San Francisco?

52
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: It looks like your couches popping up to anyway. I

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: can be outside without actually going outside. Right now, it's

54
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: fresh air out here. I'm just gonna how we gotta

55
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: take in the sights, you know, through your imagination. Right

56
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: now I'm floating around on my little magic a Laddin

57
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: carment about a gold Gate Bridge. It's not long you've

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: been stuck in the house with seven days now, yep? Yeah,

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: how many games have you been I I don't have

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: a video game system. It's pretty it's pretty rough over here.

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: I didn't even have a TV, but that's an investment

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: that needs to be made. Yeah, do you still have

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: a TV? You don't have a television broth, I have.

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: I have a projector so we can project Netflix. But

65
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: then I'm too lazy to set that up, so I

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: just end up watching. You don't have cable, that's correct,

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: that's correct, And I don't have a physical TV, but

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I have a projector. Yeah, that's still pretty rough. I

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: mean I have I don't play games either, but I've

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: been working through some Netflix series Ozark. You guys on

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: the Dark only two seasons, and I think they just

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: continued that one know the new ones coming out this week? Oh, yes, exactly. Yeah,

73
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,080

74
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: guys watched that show? I skipped it. It's pretty good.

75
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: A little clip, I'm actually yeah, it's pretty solid, I'm

76
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: telling you. And now the other one that's blowing up

77
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: is the Tiger one. Uh yeah, I just saying a

78
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: clip of that too, Yeah, King Tigers shot at the Tigers. Yes,

79
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: so obviously we got you on here, Jimmy to talk

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: about your Netflix uh and game video game habits. That's

81
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: the biggest thing going on this week. I guess the

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: other news is that you signed a new contract one

83
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: year extension with the Ravens. So when we did the

84
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: podcast with you back in the season, you told us

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: you'd be back. You are back. Is this how you

86
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: still playing out all along? I mean obviously not exactly,

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: but you know, free agency is a different beast in itself. Um,

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean my goal was always to come back, and

89
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm back and honestly more happy than ever. So you

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: know that's all rest behind me. Yeah, it was. It

91
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: was your first time being on the market, right, Yeah,

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: so what was what was the experience that Like, was

93
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: it all that you thought it would be or what?

94
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: And you know, it's like being a relationship for a

95
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: long time and then being single all of a sudden,

96
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: you know, you think you can get all these looks

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: and maybe then not looking at you the same way,

98
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: a little more comfortable in the relationship. He was in there,

99
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: you know, your your former partner. They accept everything about you,

100
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, all the words, everything like that, exactly like that.

101
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: So just I mean, how excited are you that it

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: that it ended up working out this play? Oh? Like

103
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: I said, extremely, Like I never like in my heart,

104
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: never really had plans of ever leaving Baltimore. Um, honestly,

105
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: like I wasn't even getting enough calls in the beginning.

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: And it could have been because of the COVID stuff

107
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: and you know, being a veteran and haven't been injured,

108
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: they probably wanted to physical me or whatever it may

109
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: have been. But I didn't get the rush of calls

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: that I kind of expected to get or wanted to get,

111
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: and just you know, just kind of used other the

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: teams leverage. Really everybody had no plans, well every lead

113
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: right at one point I started getting to be like, oh,

114
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: no team calls like the Ravens flying with the Ravens,

115
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: I don't play ball, right, That's kind of how it

116
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: came down to. Was that was there ever a point

117
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: like as you went through the process that you felt like, okay,

118
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: I'm getting a call from a team that maybe this

119
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: one seems like it could be legitimate or was it

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: always was it kind of quiet, like what what was

121
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: that you know a few days period, week period like well,

122
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: when the first the first wave had obvious the top

123
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: guys and get signed. Um, then after a few days

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 1: pasted a couple reporters hit me up, but I didn't

125
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: have anything, and I'm talking to my agent and you know,

126
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the initial I guess what we wanted. Initially we put

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: out their teams weren't really buying on that, and I

128
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: can understand, um. But then when we got down to

129
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: you know, some lower money, a team came in and

130
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: possible shooter, definitely, but they came in with kind of

131
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: more efficient to see what I would take and what

132
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't take. Um, But maybe like two days later,

133
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens offer me a better offer, So stay with

134
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: So what's I mean? You've got to be thrilled to

135
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: keep this secondary together and be a huge part of it.

136
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the best secondary in the NFL. That's not

137
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: even up for argument at this point. Just how much

138
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: of a factor was that to to return with your

139
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: guys and know that you can play at an elite level?

140
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh my goodness. I mean, just to be

141
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: able to go back to a secondary with that abundance

142
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: of talent, like you said, and the fact that I

143
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: actually believe our windows right now, you know, to get

144
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: a talented quarterback and all these players under contract and

145
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: have a secondary and the front seven like we're building

146
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: right now and to get everybody into contract at the

147
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: right time. I think right now is our time to

148
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: to to reach the super B bowling. You know, I

149
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: definitely don't want to leave that. At the same time

150
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: as you know, I live in Baltimore, so you know,

151
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: going around the city eating, you know, before this COVID

152
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: and you know, people coming up to me telling me

153
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: don't leave. You know, you're you're one of us. You

154
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: stay And that really meant a lot too, is just

155
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: to know that everywhere I went, every restaurant store, fans

156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: were just like, you can't leave. And you know that

157
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: means a lot that the city loves like that. Where

158
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: do you feel like, sorry, yeah, where do you feel

159
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: like you are kind of in your career? I mean,

160
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: you know we've talked a lot about hey, if I

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: could just stay healthy, man, Like the talent level obviously

162
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: is there. Right do you feel do you still feel like,

163
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: even though this is a one year deal and whatnot,

164
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 1: that like your best football could could be ahead of

165
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you could come in this year. I mean it could. Um,

166
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm in a different role. I'm used to always being

167
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: a guy, uh and now you know, being the third corner.

168
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: You know, it's a little different, but it's also I

169
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: take it as you know, I got two great corners

170
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: playing with us. We're all gonna play obviously, but it's

171
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: more it's less on my body. Um, it's less Uh,

172
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 1: it's I don't have to take the whole plate all

173
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: the time, I guess you could say. And I think

174
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: that that's gonna definitely know along in my career, I

175
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: felt like, so going back to when you're on the

176
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: market and you're talking about other teams may potentially calling you,

177
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, like this is does that give you

178
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: the proverbial chip on your shoulder, like because you expect

179
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: maybe to get more calls than maybe you got, And

180
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: is there a sense of like, Okay, if there weren't

181
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: as many teams that were interested that I'm out to

182
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: prove that I'm still a premier corner in this league. Yeah,

183
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: it's just my my thing. But I didn't think there

184
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: was it was a talent thing that team didn't want

185
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: to contact. I feel like some things have happened in

186
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the last few years, and with my injury history, teams

187
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: don't know me, you know, they don't know anything about

188
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: me besides what they've seen on TV or what they've

189
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: seen on the phone tape. But it wasn't enough to

190
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: convince anybody's or at least it wasn't enough for you

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: without a meeting or interview, are physical without somebody really

192
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: trying to sign me. So I can't take it as

193
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: a chip on my shoulder. But I'm gonna go out

194
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: and play my game. I don't always play my whole career.

195
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Just I'm not really worried about I didn't take it

196
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: as any extra ammo um. It is a little bit

197
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: more like, hey, that's surprising, Like no team, You know,

198
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 1: teams didn't really jump out immediately, but you know, every

199
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: athlete thinks that, you know, every team, everybody's gonna want them,

200
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: but you know that's not the past. So you know

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to want me once, and that's the matter. Right.

202
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: In a weird way, it seems like the coronavirus thing

203
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: potentially could have had an impact, and you staying like

204
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: if you had been able to go out there on

205
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: these visits and get into another team's building and take

206
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: a physical and impress them when you sit down with

207
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: the head coach and the GM, then maybe you don't

208
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: end up here. It seems like that that in a

209
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: weird way, this may have played a role in you're

210
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: staying here. Uh, maybe a little bit, but not really.

211
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, let's like I said, let's the team

212
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: came out the out the works, which is something some

213
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: great deal that you just can't pass. You know, can

214
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: make your future that much better. But like I said,

215
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: my heart and my mind was always in Baltimore. I

216
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: told you guy at the end of the season, like

217
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't play, I don't really need it out and

218
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: we figured it out. That would have just created more

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 1: average for you. So maybe you could have got more

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: money for they actually had a bad I might have

221
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 1: picked the deal in the end of the season. I

222
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: would have a better deal, which is crazier. Yeah, I'm decided.

223
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: I decided to hit free agency. Wanted to see what

224
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: it was like, and you know, I don't regret it,

225
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: but I moved on. I right, what you mentioned kind

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: of like a different role. And I know what you're saying,

227
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: maybe not like a sixteen game starter, a full time starter,

228
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: but could it go beyond that? Could you kind of

229
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: feel a little bit of of what Brandon did last year?

230
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: We were just discussing this yesterday. You know, could the

231
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Ravens use you in a hybrid corner safety kind of

232
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: roll a little bit moving forward, just so they can

233
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: get all three of you on the field at the

234
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: same time, really, all four of us. Yeah, well right, Yeah,

235
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: I expect. I definitely expect that. I took some not

236
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: I didn't take any revus, but I definitely started looking

237
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: at safety a lot more last year, just just messing

238
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: around with it. But I feel like, um, I could

239
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: be used to you know, deployment on some tight ends

240
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: or something like that. Um, I definitely think I'd be

241
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: in some type of new role, but the third corner

242
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: for sure, third or fourth corner or whatever it may be.

243
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: But I definitely got could be used to match up

244
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: against certain you know, tight ends or something like that.

245
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Very cool. Is that kind of exciting for you? Yeah?

246
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: I mean I'm excited. It's a new it's a new roles,

247
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: a new phase of football for me in a in

248
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: a sense, um, and I'm excited to take it along.

249
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: You know, I didn't initially. You know, you're like, oh god,

250
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: I gotta go still prove I canna be a starter

251
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: and playing as a nap. But I think, you know,

252
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: once I took a step back and realized this could

253
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: be a blessing because I'm still gonna get to play

254
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: a ton and I'm playing for my team, and I'm

255
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: also get to, you know, not to have so much

256
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: wearing tearing with my body, you know, help me keep

257
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: playing this game that I love for long a go long.

258
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: So you mentioned the thing about this team's window and

259
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: that they're kind of right there on the cusp of

260
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: getting to a super Bowl winning super Bowl. I'm just curious, like,

261
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: how much did you not want to leave that? Like

262
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure that any player, You're probably worst nightmare would

263
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: be you go elsewhere and then the Ravens who were

264
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: right there on the cost of it go back and

265
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: win a super Bowl? Like was that part of the

266
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: How big of a factor was that? I guess it's huge.

267
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: It's huge. I mean, I mean, I feel like I'm

268
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: part of the paint m me obviously a part of

269
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: the team, but i mean, like help building all this,

270
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: just like the Gems, and I'm part of this. So

271
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: I didn't want to leave it, especially you know, You're

272
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: don't have to kick me out of the rabs. We

273
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: have to really kick me out to leave before I

274
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: don't try to be a part of this. So I

275
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: definitely didn't. I definitely didn't want to be with another

276
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: squad going to a team that wasn't you know, a

277
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: contender or you know I had you know, somebody young

278
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: or at the quarterback. Was that just I didn't want

279
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: to go to anything unstable. And I know what we

280
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,959
Speaker 1: got fourteen and two over here. You know, every year

281
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: is different, but what the couple of moves that they

282
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: made and free agency. I'm like, oh, yeah, oh we're

283
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: going for it, like I can't leave squad, you know. Yeah,

284
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: so we want to ask you about this. You're you're

285
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: a fan of the was I take it absolutely absolutely. Man.

286
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: You got Clariss Cambell, we got Brockers, shoot on big Baby,

287
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: like you know, we're building the front side and we

288
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: get a few a couple of linebackers, and you know,

289
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what we could be this year.

290
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: I feel like you guys like we're just gonna have

291
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: so many athletic freaks now, I mean Clariss Campbell, Brockers

292
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: reportedly Brockers like you have to keep throwing that out there, Jenny, Um,

293
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: I mean that puts size on your line. You know, like,

294
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what game it, but we went we

295
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: were playing Pittsburgh Steelers. I should be even saying we

296
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: right out. I was talking about my coach Chris you

297
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: and we walked out there and we just kind of

298
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: looked at Pittsburgh like, wow, their D line is massive,

299
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: looks like something. When you're going out there, you know,

300
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: like to take a take a step back, and you know,

301
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: we have we have good you know, good D line

302
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: and no, no question, but we ain't. They ain't six

303
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: sevens Now. We got a couple of six five six

304
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: six plus dudes, and you know, and they could cover

305
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: up from from some grounds. So and they're really good.

306
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: So I think that big plus for us. It still

307
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: get off the bus thing, you know, when you see

308
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: him getting off the bus, you're like, nah, I don't

309
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: want to messine that. It's definitely an effect. I don't

310
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: don't ever believe that that doesn't have an effect. So

311
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: so your guys defense, especially the second half last year

312
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: where you got back on the field, was was really good,

313
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: top five defense. But you add the pieces that they've

314
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: added in free agency, and then I feel like having

315
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: a year with Earl Thomas being in the second year,

316
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: Marcus came in the middle of the year and had

317
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: to get up to speed immediately. Do you feel like

318
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: as a whole this defence could be even better because

319
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: these you guys are gonna have familiarity camaraderie on the

320
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: back end of that defense and then the pieces that

321
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: we talked about in the front end. So we're just

322
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: gonna be able to stop the run and get after quarterbacks. Question.

323
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you give Earl another year, uh to understand

324
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: and really understand the defense on how he wants to

325
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: play things and just a little nuances of the defense,

326
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: and you know we're gonna blitz a lot and all

327
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: that stuff, so he's gonna get figure out different things

328
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: and how to patrol the back in back there. And

329
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: then Marcus as well, learning more and more about the defense.

330
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: He already kind of picked it up. I mean, it

331
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: just gives everybody a year of jel and chemistry together.

332
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we get our new d linemen in

333
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: there and we'll gael quickly, I'm sure, and even if

334
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: it's just training camp, uh, well, we'll get together. Then.

335
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited to see how I have a

336
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: level we can reach to, you know, putting together the

337
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: defense that they the organization did last year and then

338
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, on the role and us being able to

339
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: reach and I don't even know what a ranking was,

340
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: but thirty two to seven or five or something like that.

341
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: It's five or four. Yeah, that type of growth and

342
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: that amount of time, I'm excited to see when you

343
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: add you know, these type of caliber players, what what

344
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: type of defense that we can really get to and

345
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: what the defensive we could be. So what's what's gonna

346
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: happen with you? Don Jimmy, give us the scoop, give

347
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: us the inside scoop. He he's gonna sign a long

348
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: term deal. He's playing it out the tag. What are

349
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: you thinking? You done? He's franchised. Yeah, he's the franchise, baby,

350
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: franchise right now, I don't know an outside linebacker franchise. Huh.

351
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: You can't quite get that d M money. Huh, right,

352
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: like put me at the end. But now he great player,

353
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 1: great young player. I'm excited. Hopefully stays he stays, because

354
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna do that but make us better. Um,

355
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: but you know, you know how that franchise stuff goes.

356
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: You know, business goes. Yeah, so what are you been

357
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: up to, Jenny? Like I said, playing a lot of

358
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: video games, um beds, getting ready, getting I was supposed

359
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: to be married, getting married this summer, but we don't

360
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 1: know anymore because you know, all this stuff going on.

361
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: So it was a little bit of planning that and

362
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what date, you know, if it's

363
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna open up in time. So now we have you know,

364
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 1: we have too, like a month before and to figure

365
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: out if you got to do. But I think we

366
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: played council, but just elopes. We real quick. Yeah. I

367
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't have looked to Italy. No Italy, you know you're

368
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: looking at Wuhan. I wouldn't look like Vegas or something

369
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: like that with the family for some South Lake Tahoe. Yeah,

370
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 1: now you have you have you have young kids? How's

371
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: this working? See? Yeah, I'm shocked you're able to play

372
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: video gamest the young kids. I'm jealous. But I've been

373
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: playing more Monopoly and you know, little Nascar games and

374
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 1: little just those kiddie games with them, and you know

375
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: they run so little Beans and jay Len though they

376
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: have now connected well enough for I can just literally

377
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: sit them and let them play run around the house.

378
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 1: There he's he just sits there and just watches TV

379
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: like like an adult. So it's pretty easy. Looks like

380
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 1: a tornado hit it, but it's pretty simple. I was

381
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: just saying, Make's been complaining NonStop about the fact that

382
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: he's got to deal with his kids during this COVID quarantine.

383
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that you're also not complaining about your kids. Nah,

384
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: not at all. I want to hear about your monopoly strategy, Jimmy.

385
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: What's like, you're good properties you gotta get, you get,

386
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: you gotta build hotels on that. How you get the money? Well?

387
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: What what? What properties? You know? The cheap properties? You're

388
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: a boardwalk park place? Guy? What are we talking? Walk

389
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: park place? I'm Donald Trump. Hey, Jimmy, I'm curious. Is

390
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: it gonna be weird? I mean, it seems like, uh o,

391
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: t as aren't gonna happen. Like it seems like the

392
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: entire offseason program is probably not gonna happen. You won't

393
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: be together again until training camp. How different is that

394
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna make things? Well? I had, well, if we're locked

395
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: in doors, it might make things real a real problem.

396
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: But I remember I came in a lockout here, so

397
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: I kind of remember it being like this. We came

398
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: straight into training camp. It was tough that training camp

399
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: we had. You know, we have some really long practices

400
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: just to make sure everybody was in shape and ready

401
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: to go because everybody had that time off. But I

402
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be tough on the rookies especially and

403
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: first year guys because they have to go do this

404
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,719
Speaker 1: all this on their own and be ready to go

405
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 1: in August. How do you how do you stay in

406
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: shape because gyms are closed? Like what do you? What

407
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: do you do to stay in shape? But if it's personal,

408
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: my personal trainer comes over to the house and trains

409
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: me and my ladies down in the gym downstairs. Got

410
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: you nice? I mean, is it? Do you? Kind Of,

411
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: as a leader and a veteran on this team, have

412
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 1: to reach out more to your teammates to say, hey, guys, like,

413
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of crazy, but like we

414
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: have championship aspirations here and we don't want to mess

415
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: that up because you're not taking care of your business. Luckily, Luckily,

416
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: like we don't have to do that because we have

417
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that already have them mentality. They

418
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: know what's up, you know, especially on Defense Design Ball,

419
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: they all know, you know, you gotta do it on

420
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: only gotta you know, we gotta bust our butts until

421
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, until you gotta go back to training camp.

422
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's a guy that we have

423
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: to call and you know, trying to kick him in

424
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: the button to make sure you do. I feel like

425
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: every guy on our squad already knows what stuff cool. Cool,

426
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: all right, Jimmy well enjoy San Francisco. Put them put

427
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: their ass back on. So you know, on this little

428
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: app you guys tell me to downlow, you can put

429
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: all kinds of backgrounds. I haven't figured it out, you know.

430
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: I've seen people do this, but I haven't figured out

431
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: how to do it yet. It's it's it's the first

432
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: little button. It tells you like background or not. See,

433
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: we're all learning a lot more tech stuff here. Oh,

434
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: Garret's looking at it right now. I'm trying to figure

435
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: this background though I don't. I'm not on my phone,

436
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm on a computer, So maybe that's the issue. All right,

437
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: We're all gonna learn get a little tech lesson here.

438

Speaker 1: he if he had been able to stay healthy for

448
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: his entire career, he would have been a great great

449
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: you know, he would have been in Mount Rushmore contention potentially,

450
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: but unfortunately hasn't worked out that way. But I'm so

456
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: think of any player that's that's been on this team,

457
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: because he has won a super Bowl first round pick.

458
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: Pretty big, pretty big role in winning that Super Bowl too. Yeah. Yeah,

459
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: the end of that game is pretty important now. Um,

460
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 1: and has been a huge part of the reason that

461
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: the team has been in the playoffs and been successful

462
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: over the course of his career. Um. However, he's never

463
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: been a pro bowler because of injuries. Uh. He and

464
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: I think that he's had you know, there's been seasons

465
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: where when he's gotten hurt, the team has lost in

466
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um, and I think everyone has felt like, man,

467
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: if only Jimmy were on the field, we would have

468
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: we would have been in a much better position. Now,

469
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: let's no fault of his own, but it's just an interest,

470
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: Like when you look at his career and his impact

471
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: on the organization, it's just really interesting to kind of

472
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: have that debate and where he ranks and what all

473
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: that means. Um, because because like you said, like when

474
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: he's at his best, he is one of the best.

475
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,399
Speaker 1: And and um, I think it's great for the Ravens

476
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: to have him back, no question for sure, for sure.

477
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: So I was interested in in uh, kind of the

478
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: end of our conversation in which he was talking about

479
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: how COVID is going to impact players and training and

480
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: what that all means. So, you know, and and my

481
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: mind jumps to, as it always does, is how can

482
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens have an advantage when it comes to this, right? In?

483
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: What way could the Ravens you know, be a step

484
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: ahead of other teams that are also locked out of

485
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: their offseason training and O T A s and all that.

486
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: I Mean, one thing that I point to is the

487
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: coordinators staying in place. Yeah, you know, and and Dick

488
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: cast mentioned that in our conversation that that was really

489
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: a huge win for the Ravens, you know. I mean,

490
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: can you imagine having a good look at the Browns

491
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: new head coach, new coordinators, having to start fresh and

492
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: install something without the players being able to be there.

493
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: That's a hundred times more difficult. You can't get on

494
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: the field to actually work through that stuff, I mean, right,

495
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: the fact that the Ravens now, of course they're gonna

496
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: still change things up and add new wrinkles and and

497
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: all that. You can never stay the same in the NFL.

498
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: But the ability to have that that foundation on offense

499
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 1: and defense to work from, I think it's huge. I

500
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: think that's a good point. I also think that the

501
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: way that John Harbor runs training camp is going to

502
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: be a big difference. It's a tough training camp. He

503
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: gets guys into shape. And I think you can look

504
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: at the course of Ravens history since John Harba has

505
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 1: been there, they started the season strong. I mean, Jimmy

506
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 1: pointed to the eleven season where it was very similar.

507
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: They started that year with the thirty five and seven

508
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: butt kick in of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Uh So, I

509
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: think that is a good thing for this team. Considering

510
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: the way that he approaches training camp. Those practices are

511
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: already a grind. It's probably gonna even be more so

512
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: this year, knowing that guys are gonna have to get

513
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: into shape. I'm just like, I think that that is

514
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: a bigger thing than people realize. And everyone's in the

515
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: on a level of playing field there. So it's not

516
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: like the Ravens is the only team that's not gonna

517
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: be practicing. It's it's all in the same boat, but

518
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: it is. There's a reason why they practice in in April,

519
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: m Ay, in June, so not having that is a

520
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 1: significant thing. I think more from a physical standpoint, I

521
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,439
Speaker 1: worry about injuries early in training camp. If guys are

522
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: trying to get healthy or get get in shape. You know,

523
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: say a guy lets himself go a little bit and

524
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: then tries to come into training camp and says, all right,

525
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: I gotta get in shape and hurry. That's when injuries

526
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: can pop up. Um, And then he brought up the rookies.

527
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 1: I think from a rookie standpoint, it's always funny seeing

528
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: rookies like a weekend of training camp and they're just dead.

529
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 1: They're just beaten down, you know. And so now without

530
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: having anything leading up to that point, I think it's

531
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,239
Speaker 1: gonna be a really steep learning curve for them. And

532
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 1: it does make me wonder whether, as you're building the roster,

533
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 1: if if there's any part of the consideration of the

534
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: team saying we may not want to commit to a

535
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,719
Speaker 1: rookie coming in and making a huge impact, like right away.

536
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: Like I'm curious as they're thinking about the drafted and

537
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: they're like, should we really count on a rookie making

538
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: an immediate impact knowing he won't even be on the

539
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: field until training camp. I think that's maybe part of

540
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: the consideration. That would been a good question for Eric

541
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: to cost we have, I know, and yeah, it would

542
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: be a good question. We can ask searties. He probised

543
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: to come back on. Yeah, well we'll get you'll get Joe,

544
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: or we'll get uh maybe we'll we'll we'll get that

545
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: question answered at some point. Yes, yes, yes, but I

546
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: do think that's a good point. Um. Yeah. So one

547
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: thing I also want to point out here before we

548
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: go is a new mock draft monitor is out Mock

549
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: Draft Monitors six point oh. It is the post free

550
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: agency one written by our guy Clifton Brown. And who's

551
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: been who's been grinding? Because by the way, Garrett, I

552
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you know this, but I'm on vacation

553
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: but still doing the pod. Well, what's funny. I can't

554
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: tell a difference whether you're on vacation or whether you're

555
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: in the office. It's the same amount of work. It's

556
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: a minimal amount of work. Oh stop, it's a minimal difference.

557
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, it makes on vacation this week, I

558
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: haven't even noticed out here. Maybe working on an impact

559
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm working on vacation. I opened myself up to criticism. Wow,

560
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: but let's all right. Moving on. Oh and by the way,

561
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: by the way, I didn't think about this afterwards, about

562
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: our debate about who's more Baltimore from yesterday, I got

563
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: a maryor In tattoo. Man, again, I think that you're confused.

564
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,120
Speaker 1: Where's your Baltimore tattoo? I think that you're a little confused.

565
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: Once again, that's the state of Maryland. Baltimore is a

566
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: city within Maryland. It's not just the entire state. That

567
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: is specifically a rising sun Maryland tattoo, which is where

568
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: you're from, not Baltimore. Well, you just continue to either

569
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: show that you're not a Baltimore guy or that you

570
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: don't understand city and state jurisdiction. We're gonna have a capital.

571
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: I'll battle you in capitals, all right, We'll have a

572
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: geography that's right, right, geography that's get start. Is it

573
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: a geography? Is that the map that? Okay, I was

574
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: thinking geo everything in geometry. It's algebra. It's algebra. My

575
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:54,480
Speaker 1: brain is deteriorating here geography and geometry. It was already

576
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: a low starting point. It's just now it's just withering. Um.

577
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I also came up with another. Uh, since we don't

578
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: get to see each other, we have to bounce ideas

579
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: off each other while we're live on the pod. I

580
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: came up with a draft idea for us. Okay, this

581
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: is the bunker draft. Okay, we're talking non perishable goods,

582
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: which yeah, like like we're talking beans, you know, Rice,

583
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: I think we should put a list together for this.

584
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: What do you think that's a good idea? You know

585
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: what else I think is, uh, it's always funny because

586
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: I feel like this is always an item in our drafts.

587
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: Alcohol No, so you can't put alcohol on there. It's

588
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: just that ruins it. That ruins it, but you know

589
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: it does ruin it. But then it's always the debate

590
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: how how how do you take it? And it always

591
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: does it? Number one? That's just that's just like a

592
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: shoeing pick. I know. That's the uh, that's the Joe

593
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: Burrow of picks this year. I mean, come on. I'm

594
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: also a little creeped out by the new setup you

595
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: got going in here. I don't feel comfortable being in

596
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: your bedroom. It's again, okay, all right, okay, I'm like

597
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: looking at the bed behind me, I'm like, I like

598
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: the I like the frame. I like the frame with

599
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: the pictures hanging. It's that's nice. Yeah, nice, nice dot

600
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: rights frame. Where'd you get that? I don't know. It's

601
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: an old friend. Cut it out. Actually, those at our wedding,

602
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Nice. It's on vacation, man. Thanks for

603
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: scheduling it while I was on vacation. All right. That's

604
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: that's all. It's trying to wrap this up anyway. Thanks

605
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: for listening. You can always reach us at the lounge
