Today was practice 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.440 number nine of training camp for the Baltimore Ravens, and 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.040 after practice, we had the chance to hear from head 0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.960 coach John Harbaugh, new outside linebackers coach Chuck Smith, outside 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:22.160 linebacker a Dafeoway, and defensive tackle Justin Mattabikee. We'll get 0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:23.840 started here with Coach Harbaugh. 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:27.760 Okay, good to see everybody. Sure appreciate you being here. 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.680 Very good practice, very a competitive practice, a physical practice. 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:34.519 Thought the guys really stepped up and did a good 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.360 job and we improved today. What questions you have John? 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.280 With save Flowers, we see a lot of the big 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.280 plays in the field, but you also field and just 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.559 your interaction with and how how's he you know, as 0:00:44.600 --> 0:00:46.280 a rookie house he impressed you. It seems like you 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:46.800 thiry mothers. 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:48.240 I would agree. 0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.400 I mean, you know, all the guys are very motivated, 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.959 and say brings a unique personality to it. He's he's 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.640 always full energy. He's an energy giver. I think he 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:59.680 radiates energy. He's always ready to go on point, works hard, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.920 does extra, wants to be as good as he can 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:03.520 be every day and he proves it by what he does. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.640 So he's doing a great job and you know, he's 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:06.600 taking it one day at a time. 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.600 John never had any wordory updates on Rocket see David 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.000 a job or any of the guys that were on 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:11.480 the field for that. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.440 Yeah, those are short term. He should be back very soon. 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.280 Rocks should be back soon. Uh, David should be back soon. 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:19.320 Uh. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.480 Trenton had a little issue, soft tissue, so that, you know, 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.640 we'll probably play it safe for a little bit. We'll 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.960 see where it goes. I think those are normal camp things. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:32.319 So far, so good, you know, like online, is your 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:37.080 goal shot back by the pet Yeah, I don't know. 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:38.679 I haven't thought about that. I mean, I think he's 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.000 getting he's doing a really great job, and I think 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.000 there's a chance, you know, he'll he'll be out there 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.200 pretty soon. But again, I don't want to say for 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:46.840 sure because that just gets me in trouble. Then you're 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.000 gonna ask me, You're gonna say, well, you said he 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:52.320 would be back by a certain time, right. It's like 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.720 it's like it's like don't they say when you get arrested, 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.960 anything you say can and will be used against you, Right. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.120 I feel I feel it's similar to that. Here this 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:07.080 press conference. Sometimes we should be right, right, should read 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.560 my rights before we press conference starts. 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.840 John keban Seymour is someone who's been a major presence 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.560 for you guys on special teams the last couple years. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.120 But it seems like he's had a really good start 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:18.200 playing as a defensive deck. 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:19.040 What are you seeing from him? 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:21.679 I agree one hundred percent of Luke. He's playing dB 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:23.480 very well. I mean, he's you know, you know, he's 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.120 done for special teams wise, He's a guy a high 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:30.120 promise coming out. Then he faced just a lot of 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:33.720 hamstring issues in one one particular side, and and it 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:36.640 dogged him for like three different teams and basically cost 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.799 him in three different places. He came in here, we 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:40.799 build a plan for him in our training room, in 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.480 our weight room, uh and our performance room, and he 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:45.640 stuck to it. He's worked really hard ever since. And 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.320 now you know, knock on wood, he's in, he's been 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.240 he's been doing great with that. So and I think 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.320 his talent's really starting to express itself. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.080 John, probably he probably asked you a lot more about 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:55.760 Isaiah Way. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.919 But Charlie Fullara, what does he need to show you 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.800 guys to chance of. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.120 Snaps the parcasin right, well, I mean just what you 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.280 would expect. Charlie's doing it. I mean he's showing us, 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.280 he's making catches and he's blocking well every single day. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.520 I think he did a really good job with his 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.000 body composition. He's bigger, stronger. I mean you walk by him, right, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:16.080 you see how big he is. I mean, he really 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.200 is impressive. And I think he's done a great job 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.200 with that. So he's ready to go and let's see 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.000 how it goes into practices and games. But I expect 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.399 him to do very well, and I think he's gonna 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:25.160 earn playing time. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.440 To Munkins said yesterday that he's looking for one of 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:29.840 those type ons to maybe be able to do the 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:31.120 inline job a little bit more. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.959 Do you think either of those second year guys would 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.760 potentially do that? They're not known for that. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.520 I absolutely, I absolutely do. I mean, watch him in 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:40.120 practice had we had the inside run drill today, they're 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:42.840 doing very well. So let's see what happens. But they 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:44.200 can do it. I believe that. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.040 Fuming up special team players center make you play on defense. 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.680 Pilimont Phillips had multi more exceptions. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.480 But Love to day is snacks and Pat play ups. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.320 What do we see him from him as the line Mack. 0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:59.760 Right, great point. Del Sean Phillips is playing. He's all 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.800 over the field. I mean, how many, how many? 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:02.360 How many? 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.760 How many times the guy's hands on the ball, interceptions, 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.680 passper broken up, he's the ball runs outside, he's there 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.560 waiting for it. Just he looks fantastic and he's doing 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.000 a great job. And I would say that the whole 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.000 linebacking crew is really playing that way, so really happy 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.240 with those guys. It's top to bottom. Every single one 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.279 of those guys is playing super well. And he probably 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.640 has been the spark there with that that that particular group, 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.400 you know, behind Roquan and Pat John. 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.960 What do you make of the wide receiver competition right now? 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.560 Could this be the toughest some of the toughest decisions 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:30.919 you have to make when it comes to decide of whose. 0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.000 Days and who go, no question. I mean you talk 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.640 about fifth, possibly sixth receiver making this team, even the 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.920 practice squad guys. I think it's just a fight. 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:39.279 Man. 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.240 So many guys are playing well, guys are stepping up. 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.320 You know, uh, you know that, you know that of 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:47.760 course you've got uh Uh, Thailand, and you've got James 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.479 Prochet and they've they've done very well. Then you've got 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.720 Treadwell stepping up. Then you've got Black stepping up, you know. 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.840 Then you got those young guys popping up and making 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.080 plays here and there. So, uh, I can't wait for 0:04:57.120 --> 0:04:58.960 the games to start and see see who jumps in 0:04:59.000 --> 0:04:59.400 the games. 0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.040 Talking to Adante always today, he seems noticeably faster than 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:05.839 last year. And he told me last week, you've been 0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.520 a lot of work in that. 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:09.520 What have you seen from him making thick up the 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.400 last year even year? 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.479 Yeah, I mean that's a great question. I think he 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.080 is playing faster. You know, maybe it's his response time, 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.719 maybe the way he's processing things. But you know, he 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.280 flew around last year. He made a bunch of good 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.240 plays for us with speed last year. You know, the 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.640 ball goes to the perimeter, you see him and and 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.760 really all those defensive ends are out there pretty quick. 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:29.040 So I think he's uh having you know, a stellar 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.320 camp so far. So it's gotta keep building on it 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.120 cause we're still early. You know, we've got we've got 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:34.719 a long way to go. 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.480 John one more and there with the media after the 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:38.360 coach of practice. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:40.880 You mentioned how there was a much different five to this. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.960 Year's training camp, and Mark Andrews the NFL Network said 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:46.279 this is the most laser focused and seating. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.800 He's been a part of this deep in the training camp. 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.279 Is there a different feeling for you compared. 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:51.640 To last year. 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.280 Yeah, I mean, I you know, I'd probably to defer 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.480 to those guys's opinion. They're they're they're more on the 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.360 players are the most inside, they're the core and when 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.440 they say it, you know they mean it obviously. So 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:03.640 I'm happy to hear that. I feel that, But I 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.160 feel every year, you know, I feel like our guys 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.200 always come to work, but for them to feel a 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.280 little more juice, maybe that's I'm happy to hear it. 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.640 John Justin he had every days a pretty nice camps 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:17.680 so far. Another expectations high. 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.159 What is he to do? 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.760 In your news kind of make that hext forward right, Well, 0:06:23.800 --> 0:06:25.360 you know, he watched the tape and he played really 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.800 well last year, so it's just probably a matter of 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.360 you know, consistency and and stacked even more great reps 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:33.840 on top of those reps from last year. He's been 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.479 very explosive, as you've seen both in a run game 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.400 and pass game. He spent a lot of time in 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.320 our backfield so far this year and usually not going 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.080 around guys, so I expect, I really expect again high 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.680 expectations for for him. He's a very determined guy. He 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.800 doesn't say much. He kind of does his talking with 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.360 his pads and that's what we've seen so far. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.440 John, we saw more gamers got a little frustrated today, 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.479 I think a little more at times punted a ball 0:06:57.520 --> 0:06:59.200 away top Mogg. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:00.280 He said yesterday. 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.320 We're not where we need to be right now. 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.040 But that's okay. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.400 Can you talk a little bit of the progress of 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.599 the offense and just the competitiveness out there and kind 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.600 of the you know how demanding their being of where 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.440 they're at and where they need to get to. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:17.840 And absolutely it's a reflection I think of their perfectionism. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.640 You know, they're they're chasing perfection and that's what you 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.640 want to see from your players. When your players take 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.760 that mindset, you have a chance. Coaches pretty much always 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.200 have that mindset. When the players take on that personality, 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.280 I think because they feel they're capable of it, that's 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:31.480 what you want to see. I mean, the offense had 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.640 a very good practice today. They won the practice with 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.600 the points about eight points. I think it doesn't happen 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.840 too often. You know, usually the defense wins those practices. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.480 The defense also had a good practice, but the offense 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.400 made a bunch of plays. So the few plays they 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.360 didn't make and they're mad about them. You know, that's good. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:49.160 We do two more guests, John. 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.320 It seems like this is the most of Mars have 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.960 thrown the bunny backs of any camp a bit too. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.200 I mean, I remember I think Gi Rove said, you know, 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.600 Beth Lamar at times was the checkdown in that offense. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.720 Are you guys moving away from from that kind of 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:02.000 thing or. 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.440 Is it just kind of throwing to say with just 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:04.960 how he's gonna process tough? 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.080 No, I mean, I think the backs are very much 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.520 a part of the passing game right now, you know, 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.520 and whether it's checkdowns, whether it's you know, flat routes. 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.160 You saw we threw a wheel route in the in 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.600 the corner of the end zone that we almost made, 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:18.840 just kind of went right out of bounds, but the 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.520 catch was still made. You know, rookie running backs don't 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.320 get named yet. We'll see, you know, before we can 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.240 start using his name, but number thirty four. You know, 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.160 he showed, he showed he can run. He's got good hands, 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:30.679 you know. So yeah, and I think all the backs, 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.240 you know, Gus who has you know, maybe not been 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.000 known for that, has made a lot of good catches 0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.760 and run some really good routes. So all those guys 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.520 are really doing a good job. I feel like every 0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:41.760 one of our backs is a good receiving back right now. 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.480 I mean, Melvin Gordon's done a great job. Justices look 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:47.320 good doing it. They've all looked good doing it. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.640 Might be a bit broad, but two weeks into the 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:50.960 training help you. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.760 See the rookies take on the challenge of the daily practice. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.640 All yeah. I mean I haven't seen anything any problem 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:00.360 with those guys. I haven't seen those guys blink yet, 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.640 you know. So, And and it's been a grind form 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.480 because they do extra, they stay extra after after mini camp, 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:08.000 they come back in early, and they are just a 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.560 bunch of guys that kind of like football. They're very 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:13.320 comfortable in the in the discomfort of football, you know. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.640 And and uh, we appreciate that. That's kind of why 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.200 we drafted them. We brought them in. 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:23.160 All right, thanks, you're listening to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.360 That was head coach John Harbaugh talking to the media 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.000 after today's practice. Now let's hear from the Ravens new 0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:35.400 outside linebackers coach Chuck Smith aka Doctor Rush. 0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:37.680 You make up the young past rushers to this point 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:38.000 of camp. 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.679 Are you why are you liking where you are today? 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:43.280 Well? 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:44.920 I like the fact that they come and work hard 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:49.680 every day. I liked that they're enthusiastic. They've we've really 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.720 learned how to work with one another as a unit. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.120 And you know, they're fantastic to work with. And I'm 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.280 really thankful to come to an organism, an organzation that 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.560 has two guys with so much talent and upside. You know, 0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:06.080 you go a lot of places and you go and 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:08.480 you're like having to find guys that you have to develop. 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:10.760 You know, I got this job and they're already here, 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.360 you know. So it's been fantastic so far. Those guys 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:15.960 everything I thought they they would be. 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.960 Oh wait, the other day committed you for your help 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.920 not only on the field, but also in helping his 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.760 confidence as well. How can you think of ways of 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.040 how you've been able to just moved. 0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.400 Him confidence fly I think knowledge. You know, one of 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.280 the things that I pride myself on is being a 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.480 somewhat of a past rusher story and outside of a 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.720 pass rush coach and now as a position coach, I 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.200 enlightened them on the history of it. You know, who 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:43.160 created a cross chop? He didn't know that the cross 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.679 chop was created by another Nigerian O c Yo Manori, 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.760 forming New York Giants, And that's like wow, him and Dafe. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.800 You know, they didn't know that Reggie White once played 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.959 in the USFL. You know, they didn't know about Chris 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.360 Dolman was one of the original hybrids when he came 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.600 out of pitt you know, so all these different things 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:02.199 unders and when the sack was invented in nineteen eighty two. 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.640 So remember they came to football late. So one of 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.320 the way that builds confidence when you understand how there 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.200 were people who invented these techniques. You know, there were 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.839 people that you know, how it started. And so when 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.000 I talk to them almost like a not really a 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.599 teacher student, I look at it like an uncle and 0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:21.680 a nephew, you know what I mean. Uncle tells you 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.800 all this stuff, and you're like, I'm gonna believe uncle. 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.280 I might not believe daddy, but I believe his brother. 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:29.760 So that's how it builds, you know what I mean. 0:11:29.840 --> 0:11:32.840 Then we take it from all those things, watching film, 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.840 I give them, you know, things to read, you know, 0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.680 classic books about rush. We look at videos and then 0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:42.079 they see it on the field. Then they see other 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.360 guys doing it, and I think when it comes to 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.560 that point, that helps build confidence and you know, respect 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.800 amongst each other because we can talk and it's not 0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.880 a dictatorship. It's like a partnership with everybody in that room. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.320 You also, undis you guys a front in general? Cash rush? 0:11:59.760 --> 0:11:59.920 Right? 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.280 He's got a lot of people. What stands out to 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:04.840 you pass rushers? 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.880 You want? Well, I'm glad you asked me that. Let 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:13.160 me just fix this mic right kind of like like 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.640 I'm jay Z all right. So look, first thing I 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.280 gotta say is we are called the de front. Right, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.760 I'm the head linebacker coach. I want to get this understood. 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.720 Listen and how it works. Coach Weaver, Anthony Weaver is 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:33.400 my mentor and in the defront, it's me as our 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:36.839 side linebacker coach. Coach Weaver is the assistant head coach, 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.320 but as from a from a standpoint, he's been around 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.480 the league a long time. We all work with everybody's players. 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:46.520 You know, everything ultimately goes through coach Weaver. But Coach 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:48.960 Weaver has given me a platform to do whatever I 0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:51.760 want to do. So from the standpoint of it that 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.320 it's a blessing. You know that someone will let you 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:58.480 come in, be humble enough where he's had crazy success 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.800 and he would let me come in and do things 0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.800 that most people in this league won't. And that's the 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.920 difference here with this organization. And so also we have 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.160 another person, Matt Robinson. I could not mention him, you know, 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.760 because he's a master of coverage. I've been working on 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.680 learning coverage. I've learned the coverage. But if you know 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.880 anything about Mike McDonald in this Raven's history of defense, 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.400 it's a lot right. So the thing that Coach Harball 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.280 did he put a utopia, I mean, I'm sorry, a 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.960 nucleus of people around me that are experts, and Coach 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.680 Weaver has expertise and he's also working. So whereas I 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.920 get a chance to work with Beck, we work with Beck, 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.640 you know, Mike and Broad. But guess what he also 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.640 works and does things with Ojabo, so I want to 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.880 make sure they get the proper You guys understand moving 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:49.239 forward that there are a lot of hands in this process. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:55.040 And you know meda Beak. I actually met Medabeak two 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.280 years ago. He came to Atlanta to train with me, 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.040 and they actually still trained with my assistant Dez this 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.800 year because I'm out of that business, so I'm not 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.560 able to train man. Meda Beak is Medebeek's a beast. 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.760 Medabeak has incredible upside. And you know what Medabeek kind 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.240 of reminds me of. There's this new generation of big 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.360 guys that kind of come in three four defenses that 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.840 you'll see, like the guys at Washington. You know, those 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.680 two big guys that were from Bama. When they came in, 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.240 everybody said that what two gappers. Right. There are times 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.920 I'm sure y'all wrote like, well, they ain't gonna have 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.680 no rush. They just got you know, Montez and Chase. 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.000 But the two inside guys became the better pass rushers. Right. 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.840 Think about the guys in Miami, some of the big guys, 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.960 those big guys in Miami. Think about the big guys 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.600 up in New York, all you guys kind of know. 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.440 But all I'm saying is this, the evolution of the 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:47.400 three four defensive tackle is Beak. He can rush, he 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:51.440 can play the run. He's aggressive, he's physical, and the 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:56.120 sky's the limit, it really is. He he's in that 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:59.680 unique air where he's going to continue to grow and 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.200 he has again he's been coach well, you know Mike 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.840 and his defense. He fits perfect in the defense. But 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.080 Beacon is a dog. I mean, he's a dog, and 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:10.240 he comes to work every day and has passion and 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:11.120 he's a good teammate. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:13.320 The last time you were up here, you talked about 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.880 a da fe Aoway and we're going to know what 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.800 his signature pass rush move is soon. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.760 Does he have that down yet and if so, have 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.040 you seen it developed in the first. 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.200 Two weeks of camp. Well, we've been working, you know, 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.040 we're just working on all kinds of different concepts, you know, 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.600 and that's what camp's all about. We're here to win, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.560 but we're also here when we lose, there's opportunities for 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.480 us to say, you know what, let's tweak this angle, 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:35.840 you know, let's work on We're working on the spin. 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.880 Let's do power, which is something that we want to 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:40.400 be able to add in the dude that has super 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.640 charged power. I mean, you run a four to three, 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.040 you can generate some power with your feet and that'll 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:48.720 help you run through people. So in this process, you know, 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.880 I can't say right now specifically his one movie's doing, 0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:54.360 because we're doing lots of moves. Does that make sense? 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:57.880 But ultimately whatever works best for him because we got 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:00.320 time until the season comes on. But you know, he's 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.920 pretty skilled up. You know, he's skilled up. We've been 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:06.040 working on it and we're able to communicate and see 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:09.200 what he likes and what he doesn't like, and you know, 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.920 we'll continue to develop. But right now, you know, we're 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:14.440 in camp. You know, we're battling it out. We're working 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:16.240 on not only working on the Daffe, but we're working 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:17.920 on other guys that are in the unit. You know, 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.000 to you know, t Rob, our fourth round pick, been balling. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.400 You guys have heard about Ham. You know what I'm saying. 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.960 Jeremiah Moon is having a great camp. You know, we 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.600 know about Ojabo. You know, so I got to give 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:31.960 a lot of credit that a part of that unit 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:35.360 because when Doff and Ojabo come out, they're guys that 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.360 are going in that are battling against number ones too, 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.960 first teamers too. So in this whole process, the unit's 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.480 doing great, and those guys are doing great, and they 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:47.160 come to work every day and continue to be as 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.520 good as you want guys to be to prepare for 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:57.000 a season. Pression. He's got heavy hands, he's not afraid 0:16:57.000 --> 0:17:03.920 of nobody. He's not. He has come out. He has 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:07.399 a workmanlike attitude. And one of the best examples I 0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.360 can say about him, we were going to do the 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:14.239 first one on ones of camp, the first so you know, 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:16.200 Dapa is running up. I mean, Dafa is gonna be 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.560 number one right off the bat, Dape right now, he's 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.680 the leader of the group. He is. That's how it goes, 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:22.960 you know. So Dafe runs up, He's ready, you know, 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:27.879 he's jumping all of a sudden, Dovahs like little bro 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.960 get out the way. I mean, you know, t Robbins 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.200 six six and a half, he's ready. He's up there 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:36.080 with ready to go. You know, he's up there, ready 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.359 to go. And that's how he is. I mean, he 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.359 is physical, He's getting at these guys. He is, you know, 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:43.320 hard worker. He's gonna definitely be an asset and I 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.280
