• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Another week and of a really good defense. What what
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do you see when you Baltimore's deep, they're stout up front.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You know, they got a r uh heavy rotation of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: guys there, got pretty good linebackers and uh you know
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: roal Quinn Smith and Patrick Queen and then they got
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: a steady back in that that's pretty solid. So you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: another challenge for us to go out there and you know,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: just continue to do what we do on offense and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: just I think it's gonna be a tough game, you know,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: all around for for you know us, because you know
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: they have they play a similar style to us. So
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you know, just playing up against somebody you know who's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: hard nosed and who's gonna you know, fight to the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: uh the very end, like the Baltimore Ravens. I think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good battle. Sounds like you were
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: pretty six Saturday night, sir. Sounds like you were a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: pretty six Saturday Who told you that? Uh, pete? Oh okay, yeah,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit? How bad was it? I ain't know
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: who told you? Wondering No, I was just throwing up
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a little bit, yes, ma'am. So I'm good. Now, what
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: are the other things Baltimore's really good is right zone defense.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: So what have you guys figured out as an offense
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: about the effectiveness in the red zone the last week
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: or so? You talking about on our part just being efficient,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: uh in the run game and just winning our one
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: on one matchups. I think, uh, Carrie Joseph and uh,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you know Shane Waldrim had put us in great positions
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: in the w when we got to the redsone in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: these past two weeks to just run the simple plays
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that we're used to and just be effective and uh,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you know, just be just do everybody do their part,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and then you know the results were gonna be the results.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So uh, you know we scored uh two, two or
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: three times last week in the resone. So just steady
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: getting better. Uh in that department you see you run
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: simple place. But that touched out to Jake Bogo. That
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: was a different blog of it was kind of a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: change up on that. When when you get to this
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: point in the season, what's the benefit of showing so
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: much earlier so that now maybe you can I you
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: can fake teams into thinking of seeing one thing versus
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: see us. Uh. I mean it's a simple play to
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: us cause we've been running us since training camps. It's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just different guys in different positions, uh, you know in
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: our offense, so uh just interchan in, interchanging everybody and
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: making them do the same the same route or the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: same uh you know, blocking scheme, but just do it
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: with different people. I think, uh is a is a
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: big key for us, just with the the twer. We've
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: talked a lot about the two roarchies, but just how
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: how have you seen them week to week? Just continue
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to develop and improve and contribute for him. I mean
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: they've just been consistent, uh ever since training camp. Uh.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Normally uh sometimes you know a guy would start showing
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: their hand or start, uh you know, getting tired cause
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: uh you know, the NFL season is longer than a
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: college football season. But they haven't shown any signs of
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: slowing down or any signs of fatigue. So uh, I
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: think that's that's that's the best part. You know that
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: they're showing is no signs of slowing down. What was
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: your very first impression of Bobo watching them on the iPad? Uh?
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: During ot as he moves a lot like a smaller guy.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He can break down in like two or three steps
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: whenever it's a stopping route and uh, he has very
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: consistent hands. And then just watching them in person, every
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: thing I said was, uh, you know, right on the head,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: except for he's a even better person and better teammate. Uh,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know than anybody could ave. Imagine you've scored game
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: winning touchdowns before. Where does it rank when you are
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: responsible for a block on a game winning touchdown like
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you or else? Uh? I mean I think there wasn't
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: a flag on the ground, So that's just the plus part.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I get to look at that part. But you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: just having Jackson score, you know, a touchdown of that magnitude,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you know, when we were wearing the throwback jersey's a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: at home. Uh, and he's a rookie. I mean, just
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: to see his excitement after he scored and when we
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: got to the sideline was everything I need to see.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And it just made me feel good cause you know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I I blocked for him on that play and I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: took pride in doing it, So I mean it ranks
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up there. But uh, you know, nothing beats you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: seeing your little brother or Jackson or you know, anybody
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that you care for a score game when it touched
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: down like that, do you get the subject is what
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: of Finenso's kind of boosted or last scow boys getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the ms on a couple times, kind of having
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: things go his way a little and then uh, I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: mean his confidence. I don't think it's ever uh wavered.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: It was just you know, when where at when was
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: everybody going to see him break out or get uh
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: get him in a toychdown or get him in the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: end zone. I'm sorry, but uh, you know, I don't
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: think it's confident. Confidence has wavered. Any you're making a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: block like that on a play like that, what's the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: key so that you don't end up with the flag
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: on the field? Just hands inside or uh when the
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: defender starts to pull away, just let him go. That's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: your hands were outside of that once. So yeah, I
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: started when you started feeling full. Yeah, that's why I said, uh,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: hands either inside or when I feel him pull away.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: If my hands aren't inside, didn't let him go, cause
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: if my hands were inside, there shouldn't be a holding.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: F Uh A call you know, to be called? And
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: do you immediately look on the ground to see if
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: there's a flag or I look for a touchdown first?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Then I look for a flag, right I was waiting.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I was trying to see if the official was gonna
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: try to, you know, copy me with the type down
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: toych doown signal. And then I looked on the ground.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a flag. So I start celebrating. How
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: are we we see Tyler not practice a little while.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But then you know, like it comes out Sunday, first three,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: first drive or whatever. You know, hey, th th that
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: gets sound impressives. I kind of just seen Tyler being
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: able to kind of r write this out when he's
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: going through a r uh. I mean, Tyler's the best
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: athlete I've ever seen on the planet. Uh. He never
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: does anything during you know, the off season or before
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: practice or anything, and just comes out and he may
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: give you a hundred two touchdowns, may give you three
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hundred a touchdown, or may just make au dB fall
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: on the ground and make him look silly. I mean,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Locke is a special player because of his ability to
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: just go out there and just run routes, to just
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: play football to the best visibility and at a high level. So,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: you know, just watching him in the past five years
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: has been great because I've got to learn a lot
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from him, but that I know, that's one thing that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I cannot do is just not practice and just go
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: out there and make people look silly. But you know
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that's a special gift. Lock ass. Where would you like
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to see the offensive proved on board third down in
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: rezon and continue to get back to uh taking care
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: of the football? A guy like Zach sharp and a
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: coming back healthy you. I mean, what kind of value
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the guys getting out of a guy that can run
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: like he runs and can uh make a contribution in
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the pass game too? Uh? I mean I'll throw Zach
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and along the lines of uh, you know, Jake Bobo
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and uh Jackson. Uh. When he's rolling, he's rolling, he
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: can you know, run through your face or outrun you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: And he's a hard worker, you know, not only at
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: practice but in the weight room and outside the building.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So uh, just the rookie class that uh, you know,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Peter and John have been able to draft and uh
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: get in this building has just been amazing in the
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: past couple of years. So UH just as excited to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: see their growth and where they go from here. Have
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you crossed pass uh before today? Obviously with Leonard Williams
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: uh in the past, Yes, sir, what big group showed. Uh.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean he's a great guy, but you know he
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was on the wrong side of the field, so couldn't
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: give him too much respect. But glad he's on our
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: team now. Anything else got it? He probably he's give
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: it off for Leonard Williams. Everybody
