00:00So how different is it getting ready for a Lamar Jackson offense?
00:21You know, I think everybody kind of, you know, you know what to expect, but you don't know
00:24what to expect.
00:25Like, obviously they have a ton of weapons on offense, but, you know, he's the ultimate
00:31weapon with his legs and his arm.
00:33The running quarterback, is that like the most difficult layer of an offense, trying
00:38to stop that?
00:39Teams with the running quarterback, just that dimension feels like it's such a game changer
00:43for offenses.
00:44Yeah, definitely.
00:45You know, you could do everything right and, you know, they can kind of slip through the
00:47cracks and move the chains.
00:49So it's just about, you know, not getting discouraged, you know, getting back to the
00:53rhythm and trying to get them off balance and uncomfortable.
00:58Would you rather play like an MVP level pocket quarterback or a dual threat?
01:04It depends.
01:05You know, sometimes they're the same person.
01:06You know, sometimes it's like, but at the same time, I think it just depends on the
01:12kind of game you're trying to play.
01:14I just, you know, I just know that this point in my career and, you know, even when I, you
01:18know, starting in my career, you know, I always want to play against the best.
01:20So, you know, this is definitely one of those quarterbacks.
01:24How about Derrick Henry, man, 6'2", the size and speed combination for him.
01:28I imagine, like, if you look at the running backs across the league, he's probably the
01:31one you're thinking, damn, I'd rather not have to face you on a Sunday.
01:35You know, I'll face him a couple of times, you know, it's one of those things where it's
01:39like, you know, I accept the challenge.
01:41I want the challenge.
01:43But at the same time, you know, I don't think he's 6'2", I feel like he's bigger than that
01:46because I've definitely stood next to him, you know, during a couple of interviews and
01:50I'm like looking up at this dude like, man, this is like 6'4", 6'2".
