Justin Madubuike: Zach Orr Is a Defensive Mastermind | Baltimore Ravens

I would jao d t um my my man de Walker I've been training with for the past three off season so uh you know I definitely told J and do about it to tack along as well so it was cool to have my boys with me out there and training and just getting better but but you know now going with Zack is the defensive coordinator you know a lot of people until they get to see you guys playing in games how differ going to be you know you spent here the spring I mean how different do you think this defense will be under Zack I think would be great under Zach you know Zach is a defensive Mastermind he knows what put in position to be successful you he knows our weaknesses he knows he knows our strengths he knows how he can utilize us to play great on defense you know I feel like our defense going to be even better than last year you know I just feel like guys are being accustoming each other and just growing as just not only players just as brothers and I think we just cre uh strength and growth and Trust in each other I think that's going to be um a testament to how good we're going to be this year that's every year of your career you've gotten better you double the sa Turtles every year and it that would be lofty for this year if you doubled it but how do you get better this year I just stay present I just stay in the moment um I always have to understand I always have to put the work in to get the results that I want to get and um I try to stay about true to that and uh just focus on a little things like you know sleep diet nutrition you know just little things I can just just as little just as little Pebbles that just add up over time I try to focus on those things I know uh putting in the work you know that check that way St but just doing a little things well throughout Camp throughout the season just adding little is your sack goal for this year higher than it was last year and what you finished with last year um it might be it might not be you know uh but it's definitely it's definitely double do just for sure I know like I'm that type of player I know I expect highly of myself you know I have to hold myself to that standard but I just take one day at time stay Pres and and um put the work just along those lines you see someone like Aaron Donald um you know being all pro last year and still only finished with like seven or eight sacks I mean does that kind of help you calibrate your expectations of what a successful season can be on an individual level yeah for sure you know he's one of the greats one of the greats of all time to play and uh you know um honestly when I came in as a rookie and I wanted to be like not like him but play like him in the sense of just being great just being a known player in this league and you know I just added that focus and I guess you could say uh year after year after year I've gotten better and I guess um it's been working but you know I have a long way to go and to even be mentioned in St s hand in terms of play but you know I'm determined a willing and um just going to take one day Time Justin um you know we talked you obviously when you signed the extension you talked about how blessed you were for that I'm curious does that also come with pressure do you feel added pressure when you sign something like that and so forth um I wouldn't say pressure I would say expectations from uh people or you know team are definitely going to be you know maybe blocking me different expecting different ways that they're going to um try to swow me down so I guess you could say pressure until the pressure myself to uh stay poti and stay focused and stay better than I was last year so that's the only pressure outside of that it's just expectations and just the world to keboard being been like working with new Johnson just going through everything yeah Dennis is great you know Den is cool um he he care for Texas and bayor I'm from Texas so we had that connection but outside of that you know he's just a good guy uh somebody that L has very good insight about the game and um trying to find ways to get better and brings a good energy too like that and um it's good you prepare in any different way or try to use try to perfect any different moves When You're Expecting to get more double teams yeah uh but overall I think the most important thing for me is just staying in shape staying um you know in great shape um having a high motor and uh just focusing on way to not get tired and U that's why I was talking about really about the nutrition and just the sleep and all those things I add up or prob me uh St Point those things so what's your biggest focus of you know from a technique standpoint on something you want to improve on or goal or so forth you're working on uh man I mean it's obviously I worked on everything strength uh technique push so I just say everything getting better at at everything every aspect of the game you know whole well well-rounded uh player just be great by defense did you feel like you ended last year maybe playing the best you ever did I mean that Texas game game was incredible chief game incredible you feel like you almost disappointed to see season end short cuz you were almost reaching New Heights every single week yeah you know um I always feel like I can do better I just feel like uh you know after those performances even though I play well I just I had I'm like no they haven't seen nothing yet you know I can even be better I can even be stronger I can be faster so that's just the mentality I I come into work with and um you know I just try to put into through the hard work and just St focus and um you know let the chips over what them is this teams you know One Division champion titles you've had the number one seed in the playoffs obviously you haven't gotten to the point where you want as a team what what do you think it you know it will have what will have to this team have to do to get to that next little get to that super Point everybody just being downed and focused and locked in you know every every day um you know control what you can control and that's really all you can do and just put in you know your hard work and had every single day and just um leave it out leave it all out there on the field I me that's all you can do if everybody does that from from coaches to to strange staff to players to everybody I think we're going to get to where we going thank you apprciate thank you
