00:00Are you surprised that you guys are four and one right now?
00:04Yeah, I don't know. I would say surprised. I think we all have just bought into the process
00:09and we've really enjoyed coming out and competing every rep. And I think what's so cool about it is
00:15we've seen a lot of growth from OTAs to camp. We've seen a lot of growth through day one of
00:21camp to the end of camp and now week one to going into week five, six, and hopefully we can continue
00:29to get better every week and just stay intentful on every single rep, every single play, and
00:35making the most out of every single day. Luke McCaffrey with us here on GND. Luke,
00:39big one this weekend. The Ravens are good. They've been good. Not having the gangbuster
00:44season we're used to from them, but everyone feels, myself included, like it's only a matter
00:47of time. What kind of challenge did they bring and what do you make of them from afar?
00:52Yeah, they're a really good football team. They know how to win. I think when you get to the NFL,
00:57every team is going to have good players and every team is going to have some level of success.
01:02And so to have a team with a lot of just competitors, a lot of people who play the
01:07game at a high level is always a challenge each and every week. I think they do a good job of
01:12playing as a team, which is something I know we take pride of in our building. And so I think it'll
01:17be a great competitive matchup and it'll be a good one for us to go out there and compete.
01:24Luke, you guys have had success on the road, dating back really since week one in Tampa.
01:29The trip to Cincinnati, Danny and I were in the crowd. It was unbelievably loud. The atmosphere
01:35was as good as it's going to be anywhere else. Baltimore was involved, right? And Danny actually
01:40looked at me right before the game and he's like, this is going to go very poorly. I won't tell you
01:44exactly what he said, but he said, yeah, this is going to be a lot. The environment was so
01:49intimidating. You have a little face. Wow. So I say that to tell you guys work the bangles
01:57offensively. Then you go to Arizona, you do big things. Are you at a point where you feel like
02:01you're comfortable in those environments? It's been low penalty counts or is it too early to say
02:05that? Yeah. I mean, again, I think it just comes down to every game's different. Every game's a
02:10different atmosphere. I go back to Cincinnati and I think that was just such a, an awesome
02:15environment that, that I think we all fed off of. You go to Arizona and I don't know
02:20if you can clarify that one as an away game. I think we probably had more fans than them.
02:24And so having that advantage, having that, having that atmosphere was cool to see that
02:30covered in burgundy and gold. And then, you know, I think we just got to stay focused on
02:36play at a time and just, you know, communicating and detailing everything we do.
