>> coming to you from the espn zone in downtown baltimore it's the fox 45 play book with bruce cunningham. >> good morning everybody and well tom to another edition of fox 45 play book to my right are my 2 co-hosts for this year going to be swapping out a little bit. first of recall nog 89 mark clayton. make him feel welcome, everybody. [applause] >> and then to mark's right the raven's leading rusher the full back number 33 laron[applause] great to see both of you.

i'm excited about working with you guys. >> me too. >> let's talk about last week. i think a lot of people in town the expectations were so high. a lot of fans were looking like 100-0 win. you say it all the time. they get paid too. kansas city is an nfl team up t. you have to give them credit they played great. opening game we knew they would come out playing hard and everybody. a lot of people -- a did a radio show. we worked hard. it was a training cam. we played like we wanted to but we stuck together as a team. we had a defense. it was a team game. we came out on top. >> since you are both offensive players. he called it defensive kingdom

when he was drafted. you think of defense. that 38 points had to look great to you guys. >> yeah, i think we are headed to the offensive kingdom. i mean as an offense that's what you want to do you want to score points. our goal first and for most is to win the game. you win the game. we were fortunate to do that. kansas city played tough. they played a good hard nose game i was glad they got to be in the game. it showed the character of the team how we do when it was a close game and being able to step up and not make plays. >> tell me about the growth of joe floxlaco . >> how he understands the game more take charge in the huddle.

play call on me. he does everything. we know that he can make any pass on the fold any throw. the sky is the limit. do good. cope the defense up. >> i hear you. when flak owflaco was a rocky ut job you know what joe put down in pro football player. does that surprise you? he's not going to be running the roads at night. >> joe loves baltimore. >> that performance on opening day by him was very special and by the offense. you guys were both brought this here to help establish an offense. while it's not quite there yet i'm sure you would agree you have to feel great about the progress you guys are making. >> it was a long season, even longer for me with injury and everything.

i mean in many things we worked hard. our goal was to be 10 times better than we were last year offensively. we knew it was going to take a lot of work, a lot of dedication and a lot of focus. we were able to do that in the off season and come no the training camp. i got to really watch them get in and grind the entire training camp and by through week by week. when we started hitting our goal in each game and put it on the field sunday, we were proud of. we are going to get better. without the work we have done that was about it. >> pretty good game for somebody that wasn't supposed to play. >> now it's time for our weekly feature the play of the game with just over 2 minutes to go. game tide at 24. the perfect default mark on the post pattern for the 31-yard touchdown giving the ravens

31-24 lead that would prove to be your game winner. the ravens beat the chief in at the season opener. that is all behind us. this sunday, today, san diego chargers in san diego. it is tough to go all the way across the continent and play a football game. it will be a tough game they have a great defense. great coach. like the coach say we win the game thursday and friday preparing for the game. it's going to be a long flight for me. to go out and win a game. >> how do you big guys fly that far. don't you get close close closterphobic. no i don't like it.

>> skinny dude that hurts. >> he's on the plane for hours. >> monday night football san diego i'm assuming you watched the game. what did you take out of the game. >> i got to watch the beginning an then i fell asleep. open teams. just a glimpse that i got defense was -- they were fast. oakland was doing some things. >> what did you see? >> like you said the first half oakland came out and started fast. how he starts is how they finish. it's the end of the woke and nfl. we have to cover every play.

there will be fired up to play us. i'm looking forward to it. i'm ready to get to practice tomorrow and see what happens. >> is there gaterade plans for camp if you win the game? >> of course. you are pretty handy with the gaterade, i notice. >> at the end of the day it's about having fun. if anybody has a team we play in, when we win they are getting it. >> real quick you had to have felt the buzz last sunday. they are ready for football. >> the best fans. >> we have the best fans in the land. >> no questions about that. they were so pumped you were we were on offense. first drive joke on the play. >> still to come on fox 45 play book we will run down the afc

do. i'm looking forward to it. >> how do his tomorrow mates look at them in terms of stepping back into the full back. >> as a raven doing whatever it takes to get the job done. >> that's collectively. we are about winning. true enough we play hard and work hard because we want to win the championship. whatever it takes to get that done that's what we are going to do. >> you mentioned going to miami if you get to the super bowl you have to play. fly. you know that. >> now it's time for you the raven fans to step up to the mic. it is the fan forum we have a line of folks. no number on the jersey. >> what's your name and where are you from? >> rick from brooklyn. which one is going to score the most town downs?
