UM, you know, obviously, I think coming from a player's perspective, we understand, Um, you know how tough it is to be you know, not able to be on the field, you know, being hurt, being injured, being you know, whatever comes up on game day. The first thing you want to do is be out there on the field. And UM, you know, when something comes up and you're not able to do that, you know, mentally it hurts. So you know we understand that. UM. You know we've all been
there before. I've been hurt just as much as anybody, UM, and understand the pressure along that goes with it and the disappointment that goes with it. Um. You know, so absolutely we have his back one hundred percent. You know, we trusted UM. You know he wants to be out there on the field. We know he wants to be out there on the field. So, UM, we've got his back and he understands we're behind him. I'm likely obviously question. Yeah, there's there's quite a bit to play for. Um, first
and foremost for this team, this organization. We put so much into this season. Um, you know, to to lay down or to you know, whatever you want to call it, not show up these last three weeks is not an option. You know that we've got way too many, too many guys with a lot of pride um for themselves, for this organization, for this team, UM, and really to play
for each other. You know, we've we've got we've built a strong bond on this team, UM and really have a brother you know, like a brotherhood uh in here. So you know, playing for the guy next to you, playing for and then at the end of the day, playing for your job. You know, it's crunch time. You know, it's evaluation time and in um these situations in this organization right now, and everybody understands that. You know, going into the these these last three games, the idea of
the Pro Bowl. Have you thought about it at all? And if you were to happen over me, haven't thought about it much. UM. Head's been down into this situation here, UM, you know, trying to focus and get this thing back right. UM. But it would be an honor, you know, it would, UM, something I've always thought about, something I've always dreamed of,
you know, wanted to um be a part of. So but you know there's right now main main focus and really until this the last game, UM, the main focus is is this, you know, and winning these last three games. Last year, was there a point in the spring or the summer or evage the season would have really clicked in? Um, I can't say. I can't say one specific MOMENTUM. I'll tell you what we've It's been a gradual, continuous um, you know, learning, learning experience. Obviously, I'm I'm used to
being on the outside a little bit. Last time I've played in the middle a little bit, but not not as much as I have on the outside. UM. But over this course the course of the season, you know, working with my position coach and working with coach Schwartz, you know, having the ability to pick their brains and kind of learn from them and then having toilet come in and you know, give bits and pieces here, here
and there. It's been, you know, big help. And I attributed you know, a lot to the guys around me that I have as a resource. You know, it's it's it's tough because, um, you understand the situation. But at the end of the day, we're blessed to be here. UM. I think perspective when you get in these situations, a sense of perspective comes along with it. UM. You know, obviously the goals, the things that you set out to do, UM are very unlikely now and and and unlikely for
us to achieve. And UM, you know, but to to go towards your last question, we still have a ton to play for. You know this, we can really springboard ourselves um for next season, you know, and really UM, set a foundation and learn from the mistakes and all the close losses UM that we've gone through. You know, learn from that, build a foundation and springboard us us forward, um for the future. So you know, it's it's tough.
It's tough, it really is, UM. But you know it's the learning process and it's something that you've got to make sure you take advantage of because you don't want to go through all that stuff and not learn anything from it. You know, we've got to take it, apply it, and move forward. The Raven's offensive line it starting to become more solidified. But Marshal, beyond the flip sides in your film study, I'm watching Marshal yonda whatever you've seen
from him. What really stands out with you? Watching the player? Uh? You know, I think they utilize him well, UM, but I think that team is a whole, just their offense as a whole. Man, it's just really coming um, you know of whatever, you know, whatever you want to call it. They're really clicking. They're starting to click, they're starting to find their identity. Um and I think first and foremost it starts to Flacco, um, you know, running to play.
So yeah, obviously he's a great player. But you know, as a whole, we've got it. They've they've got a lot of weapons, they've got a lot of a lot of guys, um that we have to have to contain. It doesn't impact, but suspension. You wonder this last guy, wonder what the offense might have been if he had been there. I mean, you can't, you can't think about it like that. Man. You gotta the situation is what it is, and you've got to roll with it, you know.
And it's always that's that's his league, you know, it's next man up. It's just like somebody getting injured, you know and um having to sit out. So um, you can't really I know, hey, right, it's h but you really can't. You can't really think about it like that. You know. You just gotta play with who's who's up? And uh move forward. You don't feel like class one guys. You don't feel like you you can lay it down a little man. That's a that's a question for Lane. Obviously
he's got his own feelings. I think he's addressed that already to you guys, um, but no, for me, it's you've got to move forward with who you have. You can't focus on who you don't have. If you do that, you're in the wrong bit this. Your mind's in the wrong place too. Problem. M h m hm
