Ohh no, this is, this
is. These were some songs that I wrote
for my coach asked me for some questions.
You know, I'm designated DJ so and
I'm going to see him after this.
So I just got it on there. Now
you got coming to this. I freestyle. Listen,
I don't need those, you know, I'm,
you know, this is the easy part.
It up I haven't seen. When played.
I I played
them last year.
I played them last year.
We we lost that game.
It came down to the end,
but we we ended up losing that game.
And you know, Lamar is as dynamic as it gets.
You know, early on in his career they tried
to say he was just a runner and you know,
he's did nothing but prove
that he's a total package.
You know, you throw the ball,
you can run the ball.
He could do whatever it
takes to to win games.
I'm gonna put his teammates
in great situations to win.
And that's why he should be
the highest paid player in NFL.
And that's why he should have the biggest,
the biggest contract out
of all the quarterbacks,
which will make them, you know,
the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
And he's done everything that
he could possibly do to put
himself in a great situation.
But I know that he's passed it and
he's not going to talk about it,
but, you know, even though we.
Got a competition and even
though I wanna win, you know,
I also, you know,
have respect for the game and I know
what's right and it's only right for,
you know,
the guys to get it done over there.
I'm sure he wouldn't talk about it
and I'm sure he wouldn't go there.
But you know,
I can and,
you know, respect the fact that.
A deal that he thinks.
Yeah, and it's a trust me, I, you know.
It's a tough situation to be in.
I have a. You know,
to not having anything promised and you
go out there and you wanted the fastest,
most dynamic players in the world and
everybody's gunning for you and you know,
you know, hats off to him.
He's handled it with respect.
He's a he's really put it off to the side to
not make it a distraction with his teammates.
You know, he's done everything that
he's done everything in the right way.
He's not, you know, holding out and you know,
letting him bleed all into the media.
He's handled it so respectfully.
And that's what you want, you know,
our young quarterbacks out,
our young players and that's what
you want out of the next generation
that's that's coming up so.
After more.
Quarterbacks in the past,
including one that you call a teammate.
Now what makes Lamar from
from your experience?
Ohh, nobody's like Lamar, man.
You know, he's he's quick.
He's he's he's twitchy.
Any little space that he can get,
he could take it the
distance he's a blend of.
Of all different players.
And he could throw the ball.
He's at his base is a quarterback,
but he can also move like a
receiver and hit the edge like a
running back and make guys miss
like a running back and you know,
a receiver and all of these things.
And he has a he has a great supporting
cast with his offensive line and
his running backs and you know,
quick receivers and you know, he's the guy.
It's it's really not it's
really not a secret.
You know,
I come up here if I say
anything other than that,
then it would be bulletin board material
because he he really he really is the.
The truth and his number of
respect for the Baltimore
Ravens and Lamar Jackson.
When you have a loss that's emotionally,
physically ruling as last weeks was,
how do you get ready for that next
week knowing the challenge that
we're lost last night? When was that?
I don't remember that.
You know, that's the mom says.
You gotta have, man,
you just gotta keep pushing.
You know, I, you know, I I truly believe
in my heart that I'm a winner.
And, you know,
you can accept defeat sometimes,
you know, because you know you
shouldn't have been beat, you know,
or you you shouldn't have lost that game.
If you had another crack at it,
you know, it would be different.
And no disrespect to the Miami
Dolphins or anything like that,
we lost that that day.
But in my heart, you know,
I feel like if we had another crack at it,
you know, hopefully, you know,
the score would be different,
but just got to move on.
Just got to forget about it.
They played an incredible game,
especially the defense,
especially tour,
you know.
Especially their receivers.
And they took advantage of all the
opportunities that were given and
they came out on top and you know,
we lost
like that. You just gotta, just
gotta move. He's not that.
It was not the first game they lost the NFL.
It's not my first game that I lost in life.
And it's definitely probably not gonna
be my last one, even though we want
to limit, limit them, you know, this season.
But you know, it's it's all good.
And like I said after the game,
it's it's good medicine, you know?
Take it on the chin and you keep pushing.
You keep pushing it. You know,
that feeling that you had after the game,
you, after a certain amount of those,
you, you don't want to feel that no
more and you're going to do whatever it
takes to win and do whatever it takes
to come out on the right side of those.
You know, when we're presented with
situations like that in the future,
so, you know, you know,
I lost every now and then is,
is, is good. You know,
last year with the Los Angeles Rams,
you know,
we lost the last game of the season.
It probably would have took us if
we didn't win that game.
We would have been the number one seed.
An easy path straight into a Super Bowl,
but we end up losing that game and it gave
us a chip on our shoulder and we had to.
We had one game at home versus
the Arizona Cardinals.
We had to travel to Tampa and face
a a really tough Tampa Bay team.
You know the team that we that,
that we that we lost to at the
end of the season.
They ended up going to Green Bay
and beating a tough Green Bay team
and sub degree weather came back.
We played those guys for a third
time which we hadn't beat.
We had beaten those guys in in seven
games straight before then and then
we're able to grind out a win and go to
the Super Bowl and won the Super Bowl.
So you know, losses are, you know,
sometimes they reality check, you know,
sometimes you just need to, you know.
Bleed a little bit.
Sometimes you need to take one
in the mouth to know like, hey,
if I don't do everything right,
if I don't do everything I could
possibly do to win this game,
even though that we did.
You know, you could still lose, you know,
and even if you do everything right,
you could still lose games.
Just how.
That's just what makes our league great.
So, you know,
everybody's handling the well,
you know, just like I thought we would.
I'm excited to see how we respond.
I'm the type of guy, like.
If we if I'm playing Madden,
if I'm playing a video game and I'll lose,
I wanna run it back, like, right
now. Like, come on,
let's let's run it back.
Let's play one more time.
You really can't, you know,
do that in football.
You got to kind of simmer and let
it sit with you and gotta wait
till the next Sunday to play.
So I'm I'm champing at the
bit to to get back out there
and and and play again.
Today.
Yeah, I actually saw Dan the next day and,
you know, I talked with him and
you could just tell sometimes
you gotta sit there, alright.
But you can kind of tell that they're not.
You know, he was saying he was
alright and I and I I felt that,
you know, he was all right.
You know, I could see it in
his eyes that he was alright.
And then you could kind of joke with
him then, you know, after, you know,
you you on the good side of it.
Now you can kind of joke with him and say,
man, you got a slinky.
Nick, man, if you if you have a.
Loose neck like that, man,
it could have been a little bit worse.
You know, you could kind of,
you know, laugh about it,
but it was it would definitely
wasn't a serious situation.
And you know,
it's just the the ugly side of our sport,
man.
It's just true blessing that he was
able to to come out our ride and
he's here at practice and you know,
he should be ready to go this week.
And it's just it's just a a
true blessing like he he's got
some angels over him for sure.
It was great, like it was the battle.
It reminded me of those.
You know those those those those those
80s John Elway versus you know Dan Marino
like a classic battle even though even
though you got a great quarterback,
you know sometimes a grace you don't lose.
But the way they fought back to the the very,
very end, like that's what you
want like that showed a lot.
You know if you got if you got kids if
you got kids and stuff and you know even
though your son got beat up and but he.
Showed a lot of grit and he still you
know you you could OK it's gonna he
gonna be something one day he's got
he's tough even though it's there's
no silver lining in losses but.
No, I mean,
I I was that was a classic battle between,
you know, two good quarterbacks.
And I'm sure we have a lot more of those,
man. And I love our guy, man.
And he just shows you why he,
you know, should get, you know,
all the accolades that he should get, man.
Shows you why he hit.
He is who he is.
Even though everybody was banged up and I'm
not going to sit here and make any excuses,
but it was just dope to, you know,
see my brothers go out there and
and and fight to the very end
and heat and and all that stuff.
That's what football is about, man.
It was even though it was a gruesome day,
like it was for me, you know,
being 12 years in, it's like,
bro, that that was fun.
Like, these are the games that,
you know, you're going to remember.
Even though we lost, man, like,
it was still fun for me, you know?
I'm not about to sit here and.
You know,
going to dumps and do this and do that,
like, I'm gonna move forward.
But looking back on it like, man,
it was, it was a fun day, man,
playing in front of that crowd
even though it was.
Miami fans are man. It was a fun day.
We we came up short,
our guys battled like and I'm happy to
call these guys my teammates and my brother.
