Interview format:
There’s some things that I can do on the side like scouting. (Ravens GM Eric) DeCosta and I always talked about that, whenever I was done, to do some stuff on the West Coast and fly out every few months and meet with them or whatever. That’s always a possibility right now that I could do that on the side if that offer comes about. Coaching, whether it’s NFL or college, it’s hard for me to look at those things because I’m just now enjoying retirement. How long is it going to be? I couldn’t really tell you. I know that it will be at least a year or two, where I really don’t even want to listen to those opportunities because it’s not really plausible right now. But I know eventually, I’m going to want to do something and I’m going to want to be the best at it. When the timing is right, where that avenue will take me, we’ll see. But all those things that you mentioned, coaching, management, they are all options. It just depends on where I want to see myself.

Q: Let’s go with a hypothetical. DeCosta and/or John Harbaugh ask you to work for the Ravens in some capacity. When the time comes, is that something that could interest you?

Of course. There’s no doubt. Everybody knows how much I loved that place and how much joy and happiness it brought, and how much I tried to give to them. I think they admire that and how I helped that organization and team to build what it is now. I had a strong hand in a lot of those guys. That’s obviously something that is there, and of course, I’d be open and honored to have those conversations if they ever happen.

I don't want to steal ALL of Zerb's thunder. Some of the other questions are: toughest QB he ever faced, how do you reply to people who say that Lamar's play isn't sustainable, best teammate, what do the Ravens have to do to get to the SB, etc. Weddle is forthright and engaging. Fun read.
