okay thanks for being here good day we're working hard what question you have back out there just from what you were saying how how do you look out there mark looked good yeah he looked good had a good practice because Tom Wallace had a really good training camp hard work in practice he's got to give more opportunities in the offense this season you envision him getting more opportun I do I do I think Thailand's going to get an opportunity opportunities everywhere offense and special teams uh he uh he's looked good had a couple nice plays out there today of course and uh like he does really every day so looking forward to seeing how he does this year obviously from here getting a lot of hype about that how cool has that been for you to watch and also what in particular stood out about him right well you know just for him it's you know really I think it's kind of cool that he's from here and he's close by growing up here than Maryland and everything that's a big deal we appreciate the turps we appreciate the program over there all the programs over there so that's a that's that's that's big but more than that individually you're really happy for these guys that make it like he's an undrafted free agent who just made an NFL football team that's a big deal and he did it uh the hard way he earned it you know he he made plays and uh he's very diligent and uh he's going to get his opportunity this season to play some NFL football and I think he's going to do very well John you look at you know the list of undrafted regs that you've had over the years including your defensive coordinator now um what do you think that having a legacy like that kind of uses into into the culture of this team just every year it seems like you have a guy who can come out of the the undrafted pile and and make difference uh well it's a meritocracy you know football is is a you know there's there's there's no there's no there's no heirs in football there's no crowns you have to you have there's no Royal Jerry rosberg used to say it best I was searching for this now I now I remember there's no royalty in football you know you got to go out and you've got to earn everything every every week Ray Lewis used to say you know the biggest challenge is the fact that you've got to go do it the next day especially when you're at that level because at that point in time everybody wants to put put you up on their mantle so to speak as as a Ray Lewis type player so the the more accomplished you become the tougher becomes to uh to to live up to that meritocracy you got to do it so that's the beautiful thing about it so much build up for the season everything going on in the offseason camps everything are you getting the point now to where you're kind of ready to see what your team looks like this year of course I this is what you you look forward to you know you do all that work in the offseason and preseason and even during the season for the games so you as as as challenging as they are as much uh tension as there is you're excited to go to go compete you know and that's what we're looking forward to John I knew you guys obviously been had the Chiefs on your mind and so forth I guess what's the they're very good football team what's the challenge they present maybe playing a team like that week won versus you know last time you saw them at the end of the season is there a difference is there a different kind of challenge involved in that yeah that's a good question I don't really know I I mean just because it's really not something I've really thought about I mean this is that was a challenge that game and this is a challenge this game there's a lot of similarities it's the same team you know uh but it's a different place and it's a different setting so that'll be different uh of course they've changed as the team we've changed as the team so that'll be different just like every year uh so every game's different uh even when you play the Steelers or the Browns or the Bengals first game second game it's still different you know so it's this every game stands on its own think you share on the three guys who practicing today which three guys were practicing Eddie the uh Eddie has Eddie didn't make a flight they got flights canceled that was his deal the other two guys are just standard operating stuff right now good good thanks huh
