Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens held
their locker clean out day today after losing in the
divisional rounds of the Buffalo Bills. On Sunday, the Ravens
had their final team meeting and said their farewells this morning,
and after that final team meeting, we had a chance
to hear from some of the players. So let's go
ahead and kick it off with full back Patchwork card.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Pat.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I mean, you you've been through a few of these now,
disappointment kind of always the same or does it grow
over the years as you guys keep getting close.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I think whenever you don't go to the Super Bowl
and win it, it's always disappointment, But you still have to
have pride and just look at the memories and this
season that we had, everything we've accomplished as a team. Individually,
this is one of the most fun I've had playing football.
It's the best offense ever been a part of. You know,
(00:56):
I got to play with the best running back in football,
best quarterback in football. So there's a lot to hang
my hat on. But you know, at the end of
the day, I wanna I want a Super Bowl. I
wanta baltim wanna have another Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
So.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
But I don't look at us as a failure.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You know, We've did a lot of great things, a
lot of things we can learn from and improve as
a team. So uh yeah, it obviously hurts, but time
will hill all all things. You just gotta look at
the things that you're grateful for. I'm healthy, I gotta
beautiful family, beautiful daughter. Can't wait to spend time with them.
So that's what I'm excited about right now.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Have we know how time that this team is and
the great seasons you guys have had, including this one,
why do you feel like you guys haven't been able
to get to that ultimate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Goal that you want.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
You just made too many mistakes. You know, you can't
turn the ball over three times. There's a lot of
things that happened in that game, and I feel like
if we didn't make those, with those mistakes, we were in
that game to win it, especially against a great team
like Buffalo. So uh yeah, it's just those those mistakes
you just can't happen. And even though we had those mistakes,
we were still in that game. So thanks just kind
(02:06):
of credit to the team that we have the way
we fight, the way we play, the way, the way
we believe in one another and what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But yeah, it's just too many mistakes that at you know,
with how.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Talented more is that it's just at some point the
odds are that, yeah, he's gonna get there.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, you know how special he is. And I think
this year, you just just seeing how he's grown as
a player, just how quickly he's making decisions, just his
growth of his reads is the way he throws the ball,
the way he decides when to run. It's inevitable he's
gonna win a super Bowl and I wanna be a
part of it. And it just sucks hasn't happened yet,
(02:46):
you know, But you know, I I D I feel
I F I personally feel bad for him because he
deserves it, just because of how great of a player
he is, Like he deserves to be considered one of
the best quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He already is.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But I know everyone considers championships as the the standard,
and you know he'll he'll get it one day.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I always love when people compare him to Pain and
man and pain Manning was three and five in playoffs,
just in the same amount of spand that Lamire is
and he wanted to win a couple. So there's still time.
He's still young. He's definitely gonna get one at some point.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Wanting to get one with you thought of it at all, agency.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, I mean maybe a Phrasian. I wanna stay here.
I wanna be here. I want to retire here. But
you know, we'll we'll see what happens when the time comes.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Remember that that will do replaces offense.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I mean, I know a couple of years ago when
he came in, you were Yeah, I mean I was
like an offensive line.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
See what I can do and why not?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
But yeah, I think he sees what I can do,
you know, understands how to you me? Yeah, I mean
I would love to keep being a part of it
as long as everyone wants me here. And you know,
he wants to keep using me the way he's been
using me. You know, maybe you know, lets me throw
the ball, but I'm tired of throwing.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you guys did the position. I think you did.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
How it's Mark doing like, yeah, yeah, we went in
to that end room. George talk just spoke just about
the whole season, just about us as a group. But yeah,
Mark's a complete competitor, so he'll be fine. We all
know he'll be fine. He's the heart and soul of
this team. He's one big games for us, so we'll
continue to win big games here. You know, he's the
(04:42):
guy to go to in big situations. And I know
he's gonna be hurting for a while, but yeah, he
he's gonna continue to do great things. You know, in
my eyes, he's gonna be a future Hall of Famer.
He's an all time raven. But yeah, I think again,
like I will heal all things. I think once, you know,
he'll get away from here, spend time with this, with
(05:04):
his family and his girlfriend, and I think he's only
gonna grow from miss and be even better, which is
scary because he's already very good. So you know, I
love him and he's had a great year. Can't let
one game or one played decide your whole career or
anything like that. So we know this won't define him
or shave him. So you know he'll he'll be He's
(05:26):
a great man. He'll be fine moving forward.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Beyond your individual situation. Do you do you kind of
hope that this this group coaches on down gets another
shot out of it as as a as a group.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
What do you mean the coaches and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, I mean coaches, I mean core players.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Just I think is I think as lamar as long
as the Mars here, and you'll have a shot every
year of getting a Super Bowl. I think that's that's
the main thing. As long as the Mars here. He
has a good group of guys around them that play
hard for him.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's all. That's all he needs. Do you see anything
to mark today or last night?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Just just a couple of sentences, nothing crazy. I mean,
there's nothing that he needs to hear that he already knows,
you know, s like I like I said, I think
just time will be his friend. Right now.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
You talk about the influence of Todd Munkins had on
this offensive past two years and how much you guys
hope that he doesn't leave.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah. Uh, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Understands who he has as players here and understands how
to use them. And I think you've seen the growth
from year one a year or two. You know, we
were so balanced this year we could do everything, attack
anybody anyway. He's great to be around. He's a fun
coach to play for. He knows how to be serious
but also kind of keep the room late, but also
(06:45):
able to get feedback from everybody. He doesn't have a
huge ego in terms of doesn't listen to any players
or coaches. You know, he's always just trying to do
what's right for the offense then for the teams. But yeah,
I'm hoping that he stays here. I know he loves
coaching offense. I know he loves coaching Lamar and all
the guys that we have here, So I don't see
(07:05):
why he would want to live.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Next up is Pro Bowl Defensive Lineman nominee.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
The process, everything that's going on with the last twelve
O MESSI wells people take.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
It for time.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Oh well, you know it's not a good feeling when
you uh go into anemy territory and expect to win
and you lose. So you know, it's not a good feeling.
But you know, we everybody in this black room mess
so much love and respect for each other. So we're
just trying to cope with it. But you know, just
trying to suck it all. And it doesn't feel like
it really hit all the way yet. But you know,
(07:41):
I'll take your time with it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How do you how do you move on from like
the disappointment of.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
The season seven.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You know, you just you just process it just one,
you know, day at a time. At this point, you
know it's most disappointing and uh yeah, there's no it's
just you're just still trying to cope with that. You
were returning our iPads a day and you know, you
it just feels like, you know, we should've kept going,
but you know we just fell a little short song?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It what was to like about the season? Uh? One
of the ages you know worth you did all the good.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Things once you do you know where that you know,
like you know this big picture wise, how do you
how do you look at the season?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
You know, just motivation to just uh keep going to
where we belong and that's t in the top and
you know it's it's just strong processing and just.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, you feel.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Like it makes it more difficult when you have games
like this that you feel like an end result could
have been from O.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Doing mistakes that you guys said not so much that
be us.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
It's that way in on it.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Oh, in some ways it does. Yes, you know, if
we all look back at the film, I know there's
things that we could have done better, but you know
it's over and done with and the results of the results,
and you know, just processing it all and just trying
to move move forward with impossible like and and and
do better like uh just uh you know chairs this
(09:08):
norment with these guys. You know, every years it's a
new it's a new room, it's a new team. So
you know, just cheers these moments with these guys and
just don't forget the strong bond and you know, relationships
that you uh built and.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Move on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
We also heard from rookie first round pick cornerback Nate Lakes, Well,
they just how difficult is at the end of the
season and and know 'em that it for this year.
It's it's it's over right now.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Yeah, you know, it's it's very difficult just knowing, uh
just knowing how good we how good we uh could
have been. Uh just it just difficult just knowing, uh
we just gave the game up and know we could
have on. So uh it's it's it's very difficult. But
uh like just like we just gotta go into that
season U get better.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But what are the conversations like today as you talk
with teammates and kind of process. What's going on the
last twenty four hours.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Uh, it was just a lot of uh just people
was just upset. Just uh just keep being ourself, like, uh,
nobody not we not losing anybody. We just losing to ourselves.
So everybody just uh just mad about that for real.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
For you, what do you take away from your rookie season?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (10:18):
Just just really Uh I know, uh I had in
beginning of the season just a lot of uh pis,
but going going like deep into the season, I started
getting better. So now it just uh for me to
just get uncomfortable. I feel like I'm comfortable enough going
to my next season or naw, I'm I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So yeah, y along those lines, I mean, you got
your your snaps increase, You're playing time really increasing, you
play a key role down the stretch. Uh how poious
going into your second season? Do you feel like you
are to to come in and be a starter and
then play a big role.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
I feel like, uh, I'm i'm'a poor to uh as
eg as they can be.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
I feel like I showed what I can do. Uh,
I show what uh my COVID skills, So I feel
like I can go out and body in the league,
you know, so uh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And I guess for you, what what's your.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Big focus this off season?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Just really getting stronger and getting my weight up.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
I feel like that's a big part of my game,
just getting stronger and uh.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
When they drafted you, they said they had a plan
for you in your physical development.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean, how much did you develop or how much
could you develop from when you got here to Baltimore
into I guess where you kind of r down.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Uh yeah, I develop uh tremendously.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I feel like my my strength uh just taking on
uh like the NFL. Like NFL Uh guys, I feel like,
uh I'm not getting bullied around like folks said I was,
and I'm getting out the season. So uh yeah, I
feel like my uh my weight and strength that got
community scrimble was you're.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Playing weight higher this year than it was in Clemson.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, sir, Yeah. Uh in clumps, I was
like one sixty something. No, I'm like one seventy eight,
seventy six, seventy eight.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
So is it is there a target that you want
to get through this offseason?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (11:45):
Nah, not really, just to get strongled for real. I
don't really not tryna add weight just to get stronger. Uh,
I ain't trying to lose no speed.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So, in addition to hearing from Nate Wigans, we also
heard from fellow rookie right tackle Roger Wildcar.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
What was it like to, you know, go from there?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, by the way, you know, I think anytime you
give up a sack as an alignment, it's probably the
lowest point you'll ever you'll ever be in as an alignment,
you know. And I just took the negative and turning
in the positive. So you know, I only I knew
I could only go up from there. And you know,
kind of this back half of the season, I you know,
I want to make sure I laid it out all
on the line. You know, I gave it my all,
and you know that's the one thing I walk with
(12:27):
every single game I play. I just want to make
sure I gave it my all. And you know, I
go to sleep easy at night knowing that.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
So what do you think you've learned most about yourself?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, that you know I'm here for a reason. Like
I said kind of earlier, I'm here for a reason,
and I could be the most dominant player I want
to be at offensive tackle, and you know, my goal
is to try to help this team get as many
wins possible and help guys like Lamar Derek Mark win
(12:57):
that Super Bowl they all been chasing because they laid
the groundworks for this organization and you know, I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Everything I can to help that happen.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Did it feel like a launching pad kind of season
for you?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Yeah, I mean for sure, I think my first snap
kind of started off low and you know, kind of
just accelerated from there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So you know, it's been It's been a really good
season for me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You know, I want to make sure I built in
got better weekend week out.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
So yeah, just a technical question for you. Do you
feel like right tackle? You just focused this off season
right tackle, right tackle, right tackle? Or is there any
prospects that you think, Hey, if they wanted me to
play left tackle next year or try it, that you could.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, you know, I think a lot of that will
come down on you know, what decisions being made in
the off season that kind of earned on my hands,
you know, gott Willing. I hope we keep Ronnie, Like
I said, those aren't in my hands. But Ronnie played
like an All Pro this year. In my opinion, I
think you should have been a Pro bowler. Played his
ass off all year. And you know, whether if that
(13:53):
means me go to left tackle or wherever happens, you know,
I'm willing to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Wide receiver Dave Flowers talk with the media. He was
unable to play in the two playoff games after injuring
his knee in the regular season finale, disappointing way for
his season, and he talked about the lessons of this
season and his mentality moving forward.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What would be the key to overcome another year very
similar like the last one.
Speaker 10 (14:25):
No, we got turnovers, so we gotta shot the turnovers.
We gotta we gotta get better at that in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Say just how difficult was it to not be able
to play?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, you had a great season, make the Pro Bowl,
and just to not be available.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
For these postseason you get some tough Wasn't no killing
me for show a lot. I want to be out
there every game. I want to be I want to
go through everything they go through. So not being out
there it took a little toll on me just to
watch that and not be able to participate and do
what I wanted to do and help the team.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Did you feel like you were gonna have a good
chance in Kansas City if you guys advanced.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Yeah, I feel like I was gonna have a better
chance to play.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You feel sure that's something that you gotta carry into
the offseason as as mitigation.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Uh, definitely, cause you you wanna play your last game.
You wanna play every game, so not being able to
play that that that it'll mess with me a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Do you hope that most of this group gets to
come back together and take another shot out at it from.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Coaches on down? Yeah, I wish.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I wish the whole grou would come back and these
these are the guys, these my guys, so why not
why not take another cry?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Lamar was a vocal post game.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
You know, turnovers kind of were the end result in
this one.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
What do you say to guys like him, the guys
like Mark that kind of have those moments unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fall to them.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
I mean, I mean, you go the whole season and
Lamar do what he do, run around the backfield and
make plays, and then everybody like, oh he great, he this,
he that, and then he mess up one time and
then now it's nah n I everybody don't want him
to do what he do. Just like Mark, he catch everything.
He dropped one, he dropped two. The I mean, it's football,
(16:01):
so sometimes it happened, Ye.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Tay, what was the message y'ah from the coach and
made that?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (16:08):
He told us he proud of us. He told her
he probably everything we went through, ups and down. So
i'm'a just take it like that.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
So yeah, Todd Todd stealing has head coaching interviews that's
interested in just how big a loss would it be
if if Todd were to depart.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
I mean, we had we had a top two, top
three offense the past two two years since I've been here,
So just learning another player, but that'd be crazy. But
coach Market did a great job with us in and
you know, if he take the job, then congrats.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But we would like him. We like him. You know,
Lamar's probably better than anybody here.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Do you what do you think again, coming from a
season like this, what he'll take and and go into
that call?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
He mad?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
We mad?
Speaker 10 (16:50):
He mad for sure, like cause we know we know
our team, we know what we supposed to do, and
we know the only way that we we can't do
what we want to is what we did yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So I already know how you feeling.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
We already know how everybody feeling in so it ain't
really much I can say because we already know.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
We also heard from running back Justice Hill the kind
of process this day. I know, it's always difficult. How
do you go about the emotions of this day?
Speaker 12 (17:19):
You know, it's only one team that's gonna be happy
at the end of the season, So fortunately that's not us,
and I mean kind of used to at this point.
But we're just gonna regroup, go about it the same way,
same mentality and work, putting the work from now till
the kick off.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Next season, go through the season and hope, hopefully we.
Speaker 12 (17:39):
Get another chance to win the thing.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
So yeah, how.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do you look at the season? Obviously there's a lot
of good you want, want the division and want a
playoff game at but it doesn't end the w you want.
How do you look at the season on the whole?
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Yeah, man, it was a good year. I think for
us it was a it was a really.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
Good developmental year two, just going through a lot of
versity early on, fighting through adversity, fighting through being down
and coming back and winning games, uh, something that we
really I hadn't done that much since I've been here,
and so I feel like it was a good building
year for us, and that's gonna carry us since the
next year. I mean, momentum has been set and we
just gonna continue to build on that. Obviously, it's not
(18:18):
gonna be the same team. We gonna lose people, we
gonna gain some people, but with the culture that's set here, Uh,
I'm excited about the future.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
That's It's just how much do you cross your fingers
and hope that Todd Funkin is is still here. He's
taking some head coaching interviews.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Yeah, man, t Man, he's been a a great oc
he He's putting guys in great situations, in great position
to make plays, and uh P, it's really been fun
to be a part of. Uh So, if if he
gets a head coaching job, that's what coaches dream of,
you know, just like players wanna have high accolades and
(18:54):
make Pro Bowls and it be Hall of famers, uh,
coaches wanna be head coaches one day.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And so if he gets the opportunity, i'm'a be out
for 'em.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Huh. How much adds to kind of the disappointment that
you know, you didn't get another shot at the Chiefs.
How how bad did you guys want that shot to do?
Speaker 12 (19:10):
I mean, you just wanna go to super Bowl and
if they were in a way, uh, we would have
to get through 'em, and I'll be.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
An excited whoever we played to get to a super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (19:17):
So unfortunately it's not the case, but uh we'll try
to get next year.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
For you, you know, a big season for you, career
highs really across the board.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Just what did this do for you individually?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
M I I mean it's something that I knew I
could do this entire time, and so at definitely the
beginning of my.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Career was very frustrated not being able to get the opportunities.
And so.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Yeah, I mean I'm right where I need to be,
doing the things I wanna do and doing the things
that I know I can, and so I'm just gonna
continue to prove on those things and uh do what
I uh do whatever I can do to help a
team with.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
How how how confident are you that Thereck Henry could
have another season next year like you had this season.
Speaker 12 (19:58):
I mean, it's the greatest running back, the one of
the eer to ever played for real, So, uh, very confident.
I don't think they'll go ever have a drop off.
And if he ever feels himself there, I don't think
he would play. But if he feels strong and which
he is, probably the best he's felt in his career,
Like uh, I expect him to have even better year
next year.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Justice, We know how good of a team you guys are.
You all you're always having these these great regular season
Why do you think you guys haven't been able to
kind of get where you wanna be and change.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
Your work s. You just gotta make the plays when
the players are there to be made. And uh, yeah, well,
in the last couple of years, we've turned the ball
over and we just hadn't been able to play those
perfect games that you need to play in the playoffs
to win. We're definitely capable of playing those games and
winning those games, and we just been falling short. And uh,
(20:50):
we just got to get cheer and learn from those
mistakes that we've made, and I mean we've made lots
of 'em in the last couple of years, but to
kind of eliminate the those in the future, and if
we eliminate turnovers, I mean, I don't think it really
any team that can hangle us. And so yeah, we
just got to focus on that next year and then
move forward.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It get harder, easier, is the same, like every year
to come back from, you know, a disappointment like.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
That, Harder, easier, the same, I guess. I mean, I
guess it would be getting an article like the more
you go through it, if it's just more frustrating, I
would say than anything. But uh, I mean, the only
one team wins at the end of the year, you know,
So it's thirty thirty one other teams with the same
(21:39):
exact feeling, and so, uh, we're just gonna continue to
do the things that we can to improve as a
team overall and make sure that we're that one happy team.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
At the at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So and lastly, we hear from offensive lineman Patrick McCarry
kind of.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
A you know, a day later to do the kind
of the feelings still linger from from that game.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Yeah, still sucks, have to move on, right, but it's
okay that a lot of sings for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's part of it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
How long it will it take you to get work.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
I don't know, day at a time. The hopefully quite
h doesn't help help.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It been around since you know, n nineteen, when you
guys have had such good teams in the regular season
to to keep getting this close but not break 'em
through the way you wanna me to help.
Speaker 11 (22:31):
How frustrate seven? It's tough. Uh, there's only one winner
at the end of it, so not being that one,
it's tough, but thirty one teams go through that and
that's part of it. It's tough to make it this
far and not get to the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
But either way, we got an uh get another opportunity
next year to do it again. So hope for a
better outcome LA next year.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
That's you.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
You've always been out of a play here and play
there guy blove on the way you feel.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Like you showed about your solo season and kind of
by the starting role.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
Uh, I don't know I could keep doing it.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
I hope that I showed that.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Still.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
How do you put get over and saw some wine
there is that?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Yeah, that's just from your maybe a couple bottles that
would be good.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
Yeah, I don't know. You gotta move on, just get
to work again and put everything in perspective and keep going.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Have you have you thought about your future and and
the not lots here? Not yet?
Speaker 11 (23:33):
I hope, I hope me here, I don't know, not yet, Patrick.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
H even you know, like you said, it's only one winner.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
But does it make it tough.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
To still look at cause you guys had a great
regular season and everything that do you still kind of
as a successful year?
Speaker 8 (23:45):
How do you equate it? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
I mean we had throughout the year. There's a lot
of opsers, a lot of downs. Uh. Right now, it's
easy to focus on the negatives because we didn't get
what we wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
But I think as the days go on, you look back,
you said, we did we did a lot of good stuff.
It's not to where we want to be and hoping
for a better outcome next year, but we did some
special things this year, and we'll remember that.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
You're listening to the Ravens Press Past podcast, make sure
you subscribe. Thank you so much for listening. Also head
over to the Lounge podcast feed and subscribe there as well.
Thank you so much for listening. We'll talk with you
again soon.
Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens held
their locker clean out day today after losing in the
divisional rounds of the Buffalo Bills. On Sunday, the Ravens
had their final team meeting and said their farewells this morning,
and after that final team meeting, we had a chance
to hear from some of the players. So let's go
ahead and kick it off with full back Patchwork card.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Pat.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I mean, you you've been through a few of these now,
disappointment kind of always the same or does it grow
over the years as you guys keep getting close.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
I think whenever you don't go to the Super Bowl
and win it, it's always disappointment, But you still have to
have pride and just look at the memories and this
season that we had, everything we've accomplished as a team. Individually,
this is one of the most fun I've had playing football.
It's the best offense ever been a part of. You know,
(00:56):
I got to play with the best running back in football,
best quarterback in football. So there's a lot to hang
my hat on. But you know, at the end of
the day, I wanna I want a Super Bowl. I
wanta baltim wanna have another Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (01:09):
So.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
But I don't look at us as a failure.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
You know, We've did a lot of great things, a
lot of things we can learn from and improve as
a team. So uh yeah, it obviously hurts, but time
will hill all all things. You just gotta look at
the things that you're grateful for. I'm healthy, I gotta
beautiful family, beautiful daughter. Can't wait to spend time with them.
So that's what I'm excited about right now.
Speaker 6 (01:32):
Have we know how time that this team is and
the great seasons you guys have had, including this one,
why do you feel like you guys haven't been able
to get to that ultimate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Goal that you want.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
You just made too many mistakes. You know, you can't
turn the ball over three times. There's a lot of
things that happened in that game, and I feel like
if we didn't make those, with those mistakes, we were in
that game to win it, especially against a great team
like Buffalo. So uh yeah, it's just those those mistakes
you just can't happen. And even though we had those mistakes,
we were still in that game. So thanks just kind
(02:06):
of credit to the team that we have the way
we fight, the way we play, the way, the way
we believe in one another and what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
But yeah, it's just too many mistakes that at you know,
with how.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Talented more is that it's just at some point the
odds are that, yeah, he's gonna get there.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, you know how special he is. And I think
this year, you just just seeing how he's grown as
a player, just how quickly he's making decisions, just his
growth of his reads is the way he throws the ball,
the way he decides when to run. It's inevitable he's
gonna win a super Bowl and I wanna be a
part of it. And it just sucks hasn't happened yet,
(02:46):
you know, But you know, I I D I feel
I F I personally feel bad for him because he
deserves it, just because of how great of a player
he is, Like he deserves to be considered one of
the best quarterbacks.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
He already is.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But I know everyone considers championships as the the standard,
and you know he'll he'll get it one day.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I always love when people compare him to Pain and
man and pain Manning was three and five in playoffs,
just in the same amount of spand that Lamire is
and he wanted to win a couple. So there's still time.
He's still young. He's definitely gonna get one at some point.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Wanting to get one with you thought of it at all, agency.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
Yeah, I mean maybe a Phrasian. I wanna stay here.
I wanna be here. I want to retire here. But
you know, we'll we'll see what happens when the time comes.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Remember that that will do replaces offense.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I mean, I know a couple of years ago when
he came in, you were Yeah, I mean I was
like an offensive line.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
See what I can do and why not?
Speaker 4 (03:55):
But yeah, I think he sees what I can do,
you know, understands how to you me? Yeah, I mean
I would love to keep being a part of it
as long as everyone wants me here. And you know,
he wants to keep using me the way he's been
using me. You know, maybe you know, lets me throw
the ball, but I'm tired of throwing.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
So you guys did the position. I think you did.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
How it's Mark doing like, yeah, yeah, we went in
to that end room. George talk just spoke just about
the whole season, just about us as a group. But yeah,
Mark's a complete competitor, so he'll be fine. We all
know he'll be fine. He's the heart and soul of
this team. He's one big games for us, so we'll
continue to win big games here. You know, he's the
(04:42):
guy to go to in big situations. And I know
he's gonna be hurting for a while, but yeah, he
he's gonna continue to do great things. You know, in
my eyes, he's gonna be a future Hall of Famer.
He's an all time raven. But yeah, I think again,
like I will heal all things. I think once, you know,
he'll get away from here, spend time with this, with
(05:04):
his family and his girlfriend, and I think he's only
gonna grow from miss and be even better, which is
scary because he's already very good. So you know, I
love him and he's had a great year. Can't let
one game or one played decide your whole career or
anything like that. So we know this won't define him
or shave him. So you know he'll he'll be He's
(05:26):
a great man. He'll be fine moving forward.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Beyond your individual situation. Do you do you kind of
hope that this this group coaches on down gets another
shot out of it as as a as a group.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
What do you mean the coaches and stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, I mean coaches, I mean core players.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Just I think is I think as lamar as long
as the Mars here, and you'll have a shot every
year of getting a Super Bowl. I think that's that's
the main thing. As long as the Mars here. He
has a good group of guys around them that play
hard for him.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's all. That's all he needs. Do you see anything
to mark today or last night?
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Just just a couple of sentences, nothing crazy. I mean,
there's nothing that he needs to hear that he already knows,
you know, s like I like I said, I think
just time will be his friend. Right now.
Speaker 7 (06:13):
You talk about the influence of Todd Munkins had on
this offensive past two years and how much you guys
hope that he doesn't leave.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah. Uh, you know, he.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Understands who he has as players here and understands how
to use them. And I think you've seen the growth
from year one a year or two. You know, we
were so balanced this year we could do everything, attack
anybody anyway. He's great to be around. He's a fun
coach to play for. He knows how to be serious
but also kind of keep the room late, but also
(06:45):
able to get feedback from everybody. He doesn't have a
huge ego in terms of doesn't listen to any players
or coaches. You know, he's always just trying to do
what's right for the offense then for the teams. But yeah,
I'm hoping that he stays here. I know he loves
coaching offense. I know he loves coaching Lamar and all
the guys that we have here, So I don't see
(07:05):
why he would want to live.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Next up is Pro Bowl Defensive Lineman nominee.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
The process, everything that's going on with the last twelve
O MESSI wells people take.
Speaker 8 (07:18):
It for time.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Oh well, you know it's not a good feeling when
you uh go into anemy territory and expect to win
and you lose. So you know, it's not a good feeling.
But you know, we everybody in this black room mess
so much love and respect for each other. So we're
just trying to cope with it. But you know, just
trying to suck it all. And it doesn't feel like
it really hit all the way yet. But you know,
(07:41):
I'll take your time with it.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
How do you how do you move on from like
the disappointment of.
Speaker 8 (07:46):
The season seven.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
You know, you just you just process it just one,
you know, day at a time. At this point, you
know it's most disappointing and uh yeah, there's no it's
just you're just still trying to cope with that. You
were returning our iPads a day and you know, you
it just feels like, you know, we should've kept going,
but you know we just fell a little short song?
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It what was to like about the season? Uh? One
of the ages you know worth you did all the good.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Things once you do you know where that you know,
like you know this big picture wise, how do you
how do you look at the season?
Speaker 5 (08:19):
You know, just motivation to just uh keep going to
where we belong and that's t in the top and
you know it's it's just strong processing and just.
Speaker 8 (08:31):
Yeah, yeah, you feel.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Like it makes it more difficult when you have games
like this that you feel like an end result could
have been from O.
Speaker 8 (08:39):
Doing mistakes that you guys said not so much that
be us.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
It's that way in on it.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Oh, in some ways it does. Yes, you know, if
we all look back at the film, I know there's
things that we could have done better, but you know
it's over and done with and the results of the results,
and you know, just processing it all and just trying
to move move forward with impossible like and and and
do better like uh just uh you know chairs this
(09:08):
norment with these guys. You know, every years it's a
new it's a new room, it's a new team. So
you know, just cheers these moments with these guys and
just don't forget the strong bond and you know, relationships
that you uh built and.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Move on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
We also heard from rookie first round pick cornerback Nate Lakes, Well,
they just how difficult is at the end of the
season and and know 'em that it for this year.
It's it's it's over right now.
Speaker 9 (09:40):
Yeah, you know, it's it's very difficult just knowing, uh
just knowing how good we how good we uh could
have been. Uh just it just difficult just knowing, uh
we just gave the game up and know we could
have on. So uh it's it's it's very difficult. But
uh like just like we just gotta go into that
season U get better.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But what are the conversations like today as you talk
with teammates and kind of process. What's going on the
last twenty four hours.
Speaker 9 (10:03):
Uh, it was just a lot of uh just people
was just upset. Just uh just keep being ourself, like, uh,
nobody not we not losing anybody. We just losing to ourselves.
So everybody just uh just mad about that for real.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
For you, what do you take away from your rookie season?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (10:18):
Just just really Uh I know, uh I had in
beginning of the season just a lot of uh pis,
but going going like deep into the season, I started
getting better. So now it just uh for me to
just get uncomfortable. I feel like I'm comfortable enough going
to my next season or naw, I'm I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
So yeah, y along those lines, I mean, you got
your your snaps increase, You're playing time really increasing, you
play a key role down the stretch. Uh how poious
going into your second season? Do you feel like you
are to to come in and be a starter and
then play a big role.
Speaker 9 (10:45):
I feel like, uh, I'm i'm'a poor to uh as
eg as they can be.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (10:48):
I feel like I showed what I can do. Uh,
I show what uh my COVID skills, So I feel
like I can go out and body in the league,
you know, so uh yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And I guess for you, what what's your.
Speaker 9 (10:58):
Big focus this off season?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Just really getting stronger and getting my weight up.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (11:02):
I feel like that's a big part of my game,
just getting stronger and uh.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
When they drafted you, they said they had a plan
for you in your physical development.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I mean, how much did you develop or how much
could you develop from when you got here to Baltimore
into I guess where you kind of r down.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
Uh yeah, I develop uh tremendously.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
I feel like my my strength uh just taking on
uh like the NFL. Like NFL Uh guys, I feel like,
uh I'm not getting bullied around like folks said I was,
and I'm getting out the season. So uh yeah, I
feel like my uh my weight and strength that got
community scrimble was you're.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Playing weight higher this year than it was in Clemson.
Speaker 9 (11:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, sir, Yeah. Uh in clumps, I was
like one sixty something. No, I'm like one seventy eight,
seventy six, seventy eight.
Speaker 7 (11:41):
So is it is there a target that you want
to get through this offseason?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (11:45):
Nah, not really, just to get strongled for real. I
don't really not tryna add weight just to get stronger. Uh,
I ain't trying to lose no speed.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
So, in addition to hearing from Nate Wigans, we also
heard from fellow rookie right tackle Roger Wildcar.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
What was it like to, you know, go from there?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, by the way, you know, I think anytime you
give up a sack as an alignment, it's probably the
lowest point you'll ever you'll ever be in as an alignment,
you know. And I just took the negative and turning
in the positive. So you know, I only I knew
I could only go up from there. And you know,
kind of this back half of the season, I you know,
I want to make sure I laid it out all
on the line. You know, I gave it my all,
and you know that's the one thing I walk with
(12:27):
every single game I play. I just want to make
sure I gave it my all. And you know, I
go to sleep easy at night knowing that.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
So what do you think you've learned most about yourself?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
Yeah, that you know I'm here for a reason. Like
I said kind of earlier, I'm here for a reason,
and I could be the most dominant player I want
to be at offensive tackle, and you know, my goal
is to try to help this team get as many
wins possible and help guys like Lamar Derek Mark win
(12:57):
that Super Bowl they all been chasing because they laid
the groundworks for this organization and you know, I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Everything I can to help that happen.
Speaker 7 (13:04):
Did it feel like a launching pad kind of season
for you?
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Yeah, I mean for sure, I think my first snap
kind of started off low and you know, kind of
just accelerated from there.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So you know, it's been It's been a really good
season for me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
You know, I want to make sure I built in
got better weekend week out.
Speaker 7 (13:21):
So yeah, just a technical question for you. Do you
feel like right tackle? You just focused this off season
right tackle, right tackle, right tackle? Or is there any
prospects that you think, Hey, if they wanted me to
play left tackle next year or try it, that you could.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Yeah, you know, I think a lot of that will
come down on you know, what decisions being made in
the off season that kind of earned on my hands,
you know, gott Willing. I hope we keep Ronnie, Like
I said, those aren't in my hands. But Ronnie played
like an All Pro this year. In my opinion, I
think you should have been a Pro bowler. Played his
ass off all year. And you know, whether if that
(13:53):
means me go to left tackle or wherever happens, you know,
I'm willing to do whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Wide receiver Dave Flowers talk with the media. He was
unable to play in the two playoff games after injuring
his knee in the regular season finale, disappointing way for
his season, and he talked about the lessons of this
season and his mentality moving forward.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
What would be the key to overcome another year very
similar like the last one.
Speaker 10 (14:25):
No, we got turnovers, so we gotta shot the turnovers.
We gotta we gotta get better at that in the playoffs?
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Say just how difficult was it to not be able
to play?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I mean, you had a great season, make the Pro Bowl,
and just to not be available.
Speaker 10 (14:39):
For these postseason you get some tough Wasn't no killing
me for show a lot. I want to be out
there every game. I want to be I want to
go through everything they go through. So not being out
there it took a little toll on me just to
watch that and not be able to participate and do
what I wanted to do and help the team.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Did you feel like you were gonna have a good
chance in Kansas City if you guys advanced.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (14:59):
Yeah, I feel like I was gonna have a better
chance to play.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
You feel sure that's something that you gotta carry into
the offseason as as mitigation.
Speaker 10 (15:07):
Uh, definitely, cause you you wanna play your last game.
You wanna play every game, so not being able to
play that that that it'll mess with me a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Do you hope that most of this group gets to
come back together and take another shot out at it from.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Coaches on down? Yeah, I wish.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I wish the whole grou would come back and these
these are the guys, these my guys, so why not
why not take another cry?
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Lamar was a vocal post game.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
You know, turnovers kind of were the end result in
this one.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
What do you say to guys like him, the guys
like Mark that kind of have those moments unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Fall to them.
Speaker 10 (15:39):
I mean, I mean, you go the whole season and
Lamar do what he do, run around the backfield and
make plays, and then everybody like, oh he great, he this,
he that, and then he mess up one time and
then now it's nah n I everybody don't want him
to do what he do. Just like Mark, he catch everything.
He dropped one, he dropped two. The I mean, it's football,
(16:01):
so sometimes it happened, Ye.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Tay, what was the message y'ah from the coach and
made that?
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Uh?
Speaker 10 (16:08):
He told us he proud of us. He told her
he probably everything we went through, ups and down. So
i'm'a just take it like that.
Speaker 7 (16:15):
So yeah, Todd Todd stealing has head coaching interviews that's
interested in just how big a loss would it be
if if Todd were to depart.
Speaker 10 (16:23):
I mean, we had we had a top two, top
three offense the past two two years since I've been here,
So just learning another player, but that'd be crazy. But
coach Market did a great job with us in and
you know, if he take the job, then congrats.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
But we would like him. We like him. You know,
Lamar's probably better than anybody here.
Speaker 11 (16:43):
Do you what do you think again, coming from a
season like this, what he'll take and and go into
that call?
Speaker 8 (16:49):
He mad?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
We mad?
Speaker 10 (16:50):
He mad for sure, like cause we know we know
our team, we know what we supposed to do, and
we know the only way that we we can't do
what we want to is what we did yesterday.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
So I already know how you feeling.
Speaker 10 (17:03):
We already know how everybody feeling in so it ain't
really much I can say because we already know.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
We also heard from running back Justice Hill the kind
of process this day. I know, it's always difficult. How
do you go about the emotions of this day?
Speaker 12 (17:19):
You know, it's only one team that's gonna be happy
at the end of the season, So fortunately that's not us,
and I mean kind of used to at this point.
But we're just gonna regroup, go about it the same way,
same mentality and work, putting the work from now till
the kick off.
Speaker 8 (17:36):
Next season, go through the season and hope, hopefully we.
Speaker 12 (17:39):
Get another chance to win the thing.
Speaker 8 (17:42):
So yeah, how.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Do you look at the season? Obviously there's a lot
of good you want, want the division and want a
playoff game at but it doesn't end the w you want.
How do you look at the season on the whole?
Speaker 8 (17:52):
Yeah, man, it was a good year. I think for
us it was a it was a really.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
Good developmental year two, just going through a lot of
versity early on, fighting through adversity, fighting through being down
and coming back and winning games, uh, something that we
really I hadn't done that much since I've been here,
and so I feel like it was a good building
year for us, and that's gonna carry us since the
next year. I mean, momentum has been set and we
just gonna continue to build on that. Obviously, it's not
(18:18):
gonna be the same team. We gonna lose people, we
gonna gain some people, but with the culture that's set here, Uh,
I'm excited about the future.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
That's It's just how much do you cross your fingers
and hope that Todd Funkin is is still here. He's
taking some head coaching interviews.
Speaker 12 (18:33):
Yeah, man, t Man, he's been a a great oc
he He's putting guys in great situations, in great position
to make plays, and uh P, it's really been fun
to be a part of. Uh So, if if he
gets a head coaching job, that's what coaches dream of,
you know, just like players wanna have high accolades and
(18:54):
make Pro Bowls and it be Hall of famers, uh,
coaches wanna be head coaches one day.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And so if he gets the opportunity, i'm'a be out
for 'em.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Huh. How much adds to kind of the disappointment that
you know, you didn't get another shot at the Chiefs.
How how bad did you guys want that shot to do?
Speaker 12 (19:10):
I mean, you just wanna go to super Bowl and
if they were in a way, uh, we would have
to get through 'em, and I'll be.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
An excited whoever we played to get to a super Bowl.
Speaker 12 (19:17):
So unfortunately it's not the case, but uh we'll try
to get next year.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
For you, you know, a big season for you, career
highs really across the board.
Speaker 8 (19:28):
Just what did this do for you individually?
Speaker 12 (19:32):
M I I mean it's something that I knew I
could do this entire time, and so at definitely the
beginning of my.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
Career was very frustrated not being able to get the opportunities.
And so.
Speaker 12 (19:42):
Yeah, I mean I'm right where I need to be,
doing the things I wanna do and doing the things
that I know I can, and so I'm just gonna
continue to prove on those things and uh do what
I uh do whatever I can do to help a
team with.
Speaker 7 (19:52):
How how how confident are you that Thereck Henry could
have another season next year like you had this season.
Speaker 12 (19:58):
I mean, it's the greatest running back, the one of
the eer to ever played for real, So, uh, very confident.
I don't think they'll go ever have a drop off.
And if he ever feels himself there, I don't think
he would play. But if he feels strong and which
he is, probably the best he's felt in his career,
Like uh, I expect him to have even better year
next year.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
Justice, We know how good of a team you guys are.
You all you're always having these these great regular season
Why do you think you guys haven't been able to
kind of get where you wanna be and change.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
Your work s. You just gotta make the plays when
the players are there to be made. And uh, yeah, well,
in the last couple of years, we've turned the ball
over and we just hadn't been able to play those
perfect games that you need to play in the playoffs
to win. We're definitely capable of playing those games and
winning those games, and we just been falling short. And uh,
(20:50):
we just got to get cheer and learn from those
mistakes that we've made, and I mean we've made lots
of 'em in the last couple of years, but to
kind of eliminate the those in the future, and if
we eliminate turnovers, I mean, I don't think it really
any team that can hangle us. And so yeah, we
just got to focus on that next year and then
move forward.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It get harder, easier, is the same, like every year
to come back from, you know, a disappointment like.
Speaker 12 (21:18):
That, Harder, easier, the same, I guess. I mean, I
guess it would be getting an article like the more
you go through it, if it's just more frustrating, I
would say than anything. But uh, I mean, the only
one team wins at the end of the year, you know,
So it's thirty thirty one other teams with the same
(21:39):
exact feeling, and so, uh, we're just gonna continue to
do the things that we can to improve as a
team overall and make sure that we're that one happy team.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
At the at the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
So and lastly, we hear from offensive lineman Patrick McCarry
kind of.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
A you know, a day later to do the kind
of the feelings still linger from from that game.
Speaker 11 (22:05):
Yeah, still sucks, have to move on, right, but it's
okay that a lot of sings for a little bit.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
That's part of it.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
How long it will it take you to get work.
Speaker 11 (22:17):
I don't know, day at a time. The hopefully quite
h doesn't help help.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
It been around since you know, n nineteen, when you
guys have had such good teams in the regular season
to to keep getting this close but not break 'em
through the way you wanna me to help.
Speaker 11 (22:31):
How frustrate seven? It's tough. Uh, there's only one winner
at the end of it, so not being that one,
it's tough, but thirty one teams go through that and
that's part of it. It's tough to make it this
far and not get to the super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (22:45):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (22:45):
But either way, we got an uh get another opportunity
next year to do it again. So hope for a
better outcome LA next year.
Speaker 8 (22:54):
That's you.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
You've always been out of a play here and play
there guy blove on the way you feel.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Like you showed about your solo season and kind of
by the starting role.
Speaker 11 (23:06):
Uh, I don't know I could keep doing it.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:11):
I hope that I showed that.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Still.
Speaker 7 (23:14):
How do you put get over and saw some wine
there is that?
Speaker 11 (23:19):
Yeah, that's just from your maybe a couple bottles that
would be good.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
Yeah, I don't know. You gotta move on, just get
to work again and put everything in perspective and keep going.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Have you have you thought about your future and and
the not lots here? Not yet?
Speaker 11 (23:33):
I hope, I hope me here, I don't know, not yet, Patrick.
Speaker 6 (23:36):
H even you know, like you said, it's only one winner.
Speaker 8 (23:38):
But does it make it tough.
Speaker 6 (23:40):
To still look at cause you guys had a great
regular season and everything that do you still kind of
as a successful year?
Speaker 8 (23:45):
How do you equate it? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (23:47):
I mean we had throughout the year. There's a lot
of opsers, a lot of downs. Uh. Right now, it's
easy to focus on the negatives because we didn't get
what we wanted.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Uh.
Speaker 11 (23:58):
But I think as the days go on, you look back,
you said, we did we did a lot of good stuff.
It's not to where we want to be and hoping
for a better outcome next year, but we did some
special things this year, and we'll remember that.
