00:00 I think they played a great game.
00:01 You know, Lamar, he was the MVP of the league for a reason.
00:04 Hats off to them playing physical.
00:06 We didn't get the stops we needed to win the game,
00:08 and that's on us.
00:10 The last -- the third and three with about 248 left.
00:13 Looks like you did what you wanted to do, you guys.
00:15 70 minutes.
00:16 Is Lamar making a play?
00:18 Yeah, he made a play.
00:19 There's so many rush lanes you get to cover,
00:21 and he popped in out of about three of them, got out,
00:25 and just an incredible play by him.
00:28 And, yeah, we needed to get that stop and didn't get it,
00:32 but incredible play by him.
00:34 Zach, you keep saying you have to rush him differently
00:37 than you rush any other quarterback.
00:39 Is there -- have you guys figured that out?
00:41 Has anybody figured it out, how you rush him?
00:43 You can do your best.
00:44 You know, it's more so about, you know,
00:46 trying to stop him from stepping up
00:48 instead of winning your rushes,
00:49 but you still got to cause pressure
00:51 when your rushes and affect him.
00:53 So it's a tough balance
00:54 because he really can hurt you in both ways.
00:57 I think we did a good job.
00:59 Couple sacks wiped by penalties, which hurts,
01:01 but, you know, it doesn't matter.
01:04 You got to keep going.
01:06 Zach said, you know, about the 0-2 start last year
01:09 compared to this year.
01:10 Ted kind of said the opposite about
01:11 how you can't rely on last year to help you out this year.
01:14 Where do you fall on using that experience for this season?
01:17 Yeah, it's -- you know, we've been here before,
01:19 but at the same time, it's a totally new year.
01:21 There's no guarantee we're going to turn out like next year.
01:24 We got to come to work next week
01:25 and try and get our first win.
01:28 Just because we've been here before
01:29 doesn't mean we're going to be there again,
01:30 so it's on us to come to work.
01:34 Did you feel like -- Sam,
01:35 it seemed like they just kind of killed --
01:38 you know, they really -- you know, they had one big play,
01:39 and that was about it.
01:40 I mean, they just kind of killed you underneath.
01:44 Yeah, you know, it was down a few linemen there
01:46 doing some quick underneath passes.
01:48 They got a few runs on us that we got to figure out how to fit,
01:52 but I think we played hard all day.
01:54 Just a few plays here and there that they made,
01:56 great throws by their quarterback and skilled players.
02:01 Yeah, it was a tough battle.
02:02 I think we played 50 plays in the first half,
02:04 but it was a battle.
02:07 Seems like it's always a time of possession.
02:09 I mean, it's a time of possession,
02:10 number of possessions things when you get into a game with them.
02:14 Yeah, no doubt.
02:15 Usually we try and get the ball first,
02:17 but every possession is so important in this game,
02:19 so, you know, yeah, tough battle.
02:24 You mentioned how talented Lamar is.
02:25 How different is it preparing for this Ravens team
02:27 when you know Lamar is going to play versus
02:28 when you know he's not going to play?
02:30 Yeah, I mean, there's -- you know, once you get out there,
02:32 you see the speed and his elusiveness.
02:34 There's no way to prepare for it.
02:36 You just got to relentlessly pursue him,
02:39 and there's nobody like him else in the league.
