1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: What a great opportunity was for us. Uh, you know, 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: fly across upon and represent this iconic for uh, it's 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: an iconic organization. Uh to go playing that game against 4 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: a great team and a great quarterback, which I told 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: you the week prior, and really happy with our resiliencies 6 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: as a defense, our effort. Uh. There was a lot 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 1: of guys that made a lot of big plays in 8 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: the game, and I was just really happy for them 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: and love the result at the end. With that'll open 10 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: it up with questions, inc Is this a game obviously 11 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: the former team is scheming had circled for a long time, 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: or feel any different than Norton. I mean, it's it's Uh, 13 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: it's it's different just for this reason. I have a 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: lot of friends on that other sideline, you know, a 15 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: lot of people that have meant a lot to me 16 00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: in my life. Um. But you know, when where someone 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: asked me about the Ravens, I always think about Clarence Brooks, 18 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: my dear friend. Uh, and he's the one and I've 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: used it ever since, you know, said this game always 20 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: has been and always will be about the players. And 21 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: that's the truth. So in that essence, it's it's game 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: six but like I said, I have a you know, 23 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: a deep love for a lot of people over there. 24 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: You know, Steve Bischotti took care of my family for 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: ten years. Obviously, John and I have coached together, and 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: I've coached with his dad, and I've known him, known 27 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: the family forever. He's like a brother. Um. And uh, 28 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: you know, ozzyk Newson was a mentor mentor for me 29 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: for ten years over there, and we you know, helped 30 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: build something that they're on their fifteenth year of doing 31 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: right now. And you know the exciting part about coming here, 32 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: it's year one and we just gotta keep keep it, 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: staying with the process and where we're going and how 34 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: we're going to get there, all of those you know, 35 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: great things you talked about. Why aren't you there? I 36 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: guess that's it's never been fully explained, like what happened 37 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: at the end of last year. Well, I think that 38 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's just one of those things that I 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: always believe that wherever you're at, where you're supposed to be. Uh, 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: John and I had conversations, uh laid back, but you know, 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: before they made the announcement about where we wanted to 42 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: be and what we wanted to do. And you know, 43 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be a lot of movement in 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: the NFL, and I thought myself and it has re 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: energized me, uh, you know, for myself to go someplace 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: new and and and and try to build it again. 47 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, he was it was like I said, 48 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: we're family, John and I are. It's it's it was 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: nothing negative, It was nothing. It was just it was 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: just time. Um. And when I say it's just time, 51 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,359 Speaker 1: it was just time for both of us. You are, 52 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: you've dealt with a lot of secondary injuries there last 53 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: year and finished last and past defense. Um, you've dealt 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: with a lot of injuries here this year in your 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: secondary and I think you're number eighting in in the 56 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: NFL right now. Um, why have you been able to 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: be successful against the past. But I think it's you know, 58 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of things that you know that 59 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: you have to handle with, you know, just the different things. 60 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: And and that happened in a game first of all. 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I give credit to to Jerome Henderson 62 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: and Mike Tryer, Jeromes and charge of the secondary and uh, 63 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: I mean they just had guys, you know, stepping up 64 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: and and just being ready to play. Um and I 65 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: think that, you know, we've handled the series of events 66 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: well as a defense, and uh you know, knock on wood, 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: we haven't. We haven't given up the the big pass yet, 68 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: you know, I mean the long one. So that's that's 69 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: what we're trying to to do, is keep that number low. 70 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: We've got a great challenge this week. You your your 71 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: defense plays with a lot of emotion, a lot of energy. 72 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: You need a lot of aggression. Do you, personally this 73 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: week try to tone down the emotion because it's the Ravens, 74 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: because it's those family ties, or do you kind of 75 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: feed into that? Are you talking about myself personally? No? 76 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think that. You know, like I said, 77 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: I want this game to be about them. You know, 78 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: it has nothing to do you know, because and I 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: think Dave's alluded to this earlier, you know, in coaching, 80 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: you know, we're Gypsy's anyway. Now, I happen to be 81 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: there for ten years, which is a long time, but 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: you know I was also Oakland and I was also 83 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 1: in Denver. So it's you know, coaches, that's just the 84 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: way our profession is. You know, is there a little 85 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: competitive spirit any when you you go play a team 86 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: that used to work. For sure, there is I'm not 87 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna deny that everybody. Everybody know us at but as 88 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: far as circling the game and everything else, this is 89 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: just the next game. And and that's we've had success 90 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: approaching it that way. You know, we empty the tank 91 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: on Sunday and we fill it up the rest of 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: the week. And uh, you know, I just think that 93 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: that's how you have to approach it. And that's how 94 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 1: because what I you know, what I tell the players 95 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: all the time is what I owe you during a 96 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: game is my composure. That's where I show you my 97 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: athleticism is keeping my composure. So you're always thinking about 98 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: the next play. So you know, there's some people tell 99 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: me I need to be more animated on the sidelines, 100 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna be animated if you're thinking about 101 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 1: the next play. What you're gonna call next? What? You know? 102 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: It's it's like, uh, you know, when when you watch 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 1: two people playing chess, a guy makes a great move. 104 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't stand up out of the chair and chess 105 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: bumps somebody because he did it. You know, he's whatever. 106 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: Wink when you when you did when the decision was 107 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: finaled that you would be leaving the Ravens and knowing 108 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: that you're probably gonna have another opportunity somewhere else. What 109 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: were your emotions were you? Were you sad? Were you happy? Happy? 110 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: And excited when I left the Ravens? Yeah, I was happy, 111 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: excited about the next chapter. No, I mean you're gonna 112 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: miss people, you know. I mean you miss people. You 113 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: grow close to people, you know. It's like my wife 114 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: and are originally from Ohio. Our kids were born there, 115 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: but Maryland's their home because we were there for ten 116 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: years so and and my granddaughter Gigi still back there. 117 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: That's I get face times now got called pop up 118 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: for the first time. That's a big thing. Guys, this case, 119 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: you don't know was was part of it. Leaving to 120 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: go somewhere new and help build something was part of it. 121 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: Like it's no secret you want to be a head coach. 122 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: It was part of it. Allowing your defense and your 123 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 1: scheme and the difference you make, you know, to not 124 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: receive more credit, but get highlighted more somewhere where maybe 125 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: people would notice it. No, I just I just like 126 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: to see players have success. And I didn't think that 127 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: deep into it. No, I mean that's a good question, 128 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: but I just I believe in in the scheme that 129 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: we run. How flexible it is. Uh, you know, told 130 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: you it's all it's positions, defense and and it's the 131 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: players that make it go. And you know it's it's 132 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: it's it's just been a fun new challenge and it's 133 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: re energized me. And what are you without getting away 134 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 1: in your secrets of course, told your players about that challenge. 135 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: Shout out to Lamar. He gave me a shout out, 136 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 1: so I had to give a shout out back to him. Um, 137 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: my relationship with Lamar. I love the guy. I think 138 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: you know that it's another great challenge. You know, we 139 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: went from you know, Aaron Rodgers League MVP to now 140 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: we're going to Lamar Jackson League MVP back in nineteen 141 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: so I was with him when he did that. And 142 00:07:54,960 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: he is unbelievable player. And for anybody that wants to 143 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 1: say anything that he's not okay, because he's unbelievable and 144 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: he's playing at it in an m v p uh 145 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: caliber right now like he was back in nineteen all right, 146 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: and it's it's deaf, it's different. Sitting in the chair 147 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: now instead of practice when you're watching it, and it's 148 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: like I told Drew Wilkins all those times we're going 149 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: against him, and the guy said, oh I got him, 150 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: you know, because you gotta stay with in the quarterback. 151 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: Oh I had him. We're gonna find that out on Sunday, 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: whether or not they got him or not. You know, 153 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 1: I know it's you know, it's it's not you know, 154 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: it's different guys, But it's the truth with him, because 155 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: not only can he beat you with his arm, which 156 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: he's throwing the ball really well, um, but he can 157 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: beat you with his legs and his mind and everything 158 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: else because he's he's playing at a high level. Wait, 159 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: what have you told your guys about the way roughing 160 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: the passer is being officiated? Now? How do you teach 161 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: your guys about not doing full body? I'm sure you've 162 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: seen the two plays that a lot of attention. It's, 163 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: you know, we don't make the rules. We just played 164 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: by them. And you know, once again, it gets into 165 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: one of those situations when there's a call. It doesn't 166 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: matter what I think about the calls. You know, I 167 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: don't allow my ego to get that big that I 168 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: think that you know that this is that and this 169 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: is that. You know, I mean, it just doesn't matter. 170 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: And like I said, Roger Goodell is not going to 171 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,959 Speaker 1: call and say stop the game. Wins pissed because this 172 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: this roughing the passer a deal. So you just you 173 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: just gotta try to tackle the way the rule states, 174 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: and you know that it's everybody makes mistakes. Now you 175 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 1: know that those things happen fast. I'm talking about for 176 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: the officials, and you just got to move on because 177 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,319 Speaker 1: if you sit there and go nuts for the next 178 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,319 Speaker 1: three plays, once again, it's three plays you're giving away.
