00:00 >> You also don't get a chance to face many guys like Lamar.
00:03 What's the challenge in limiting what he can do in a game?
00:06 >> Yeah, Lamar, he's a different breed, man,
00:10 because now he's evolving into a very fine passer.
00:13 Which is weird, that this is gonna be his fourth matchup.
00:18 I know he's been dealing with some injuries, but
00:20 this is his fourth matchup since he's been a Raven against the Steelers.
00:23 So not much tape on him going up against this team and
00:29 his defense, so I'm just gonna be intrigued to see how they come out and
00:34 wanna implement the game plan and get him involved in certain ways.
00:39 So this is my first time going up against him, me and him from the same area, so
00:44 might be a little trash talking here and there in between the lines.
00:47 Nothing crazy though, but no, man, Lamar Jackson,
00:51 he was a lead MVP for a reason, he's a special, special talent.
00:56 >> What's the biggest challenge for you or for
00:58 a corner when you have a guy like Lamar?
01:00 I mean, you just gotta hold your cover with the guy for a few more seconds?
01:03 >> It's tough because now they're surrounding him around with
01:08 these speedy, shifty receivers.
01:10 It reminds me, if you go back when Russell Wilson was,
01:15 keep me on time cuz I got a one o'clock.
01:17 When Russell Wilson was in Seattle when he had the Doug Baldwin,
01:23 the Golden Tate and smaller, shifty receivers that can get open on those
01:28 off timing downs and that's kinda not saying they're taking a blueprint from
01:33 the Seattle Seahawks, but that's what they often remind me of when
01:38 the off schedule plays start to happen.
01:40 So as a defense, especially as a defensive back, we hate that because now
01:45 receivers are gonna run pretty much to an open area of the field.
01:49 It's already hard enough guarding them on the route that the offensive coordinator
01:52 is giving them, but now when they have the opportunity to go up, back,
01:56 across the field, Lamar able to create so much time, it just makes our job that much
