00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Past podcast. It is Monday,

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: September ninth. The Ravens were back on the practice field

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: today preparing for their home opener coming up against the

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. After practice today, we had a chance

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: to hear from head coach John Harpall.

6
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody. Appreciate you guys being here.

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: That's a fumble. Those are bad, very bad fumble. That's right.

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: That's a great point. That's right. You get on the ground,

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: you crill up around it. Yes, that's a shot. That's

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: a shot he's taking out of me. I appreciate everybody

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: being here. We're looking forward to the next challenge in

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: front of us. Got a good practice today and we're

13
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: getting ready for the Raiders. What questions you have We

14
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,279
Speaker 2: didn't see them more out there in the practice. Yeah,

15
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: we had a number of guys that weren't out there,

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: some personal, uh, some some you know, physical. So you know,

17
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: injury report comes out Wednesday afternoon, so you'll be better

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: advised on that day regarding all those guys. Coach, two sacks,

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 2: seven quarterback hits against the Chiefs. What do you think

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: of the past rushing team? I thought the pass rush

21
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: was good. You know, you're you're you're rushing Patrick Mahomes.

22
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: I'm a little disappointed a couple of times he got out,

23
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: but I really haven't seen a game where he hasn't

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: gotten out to some degree to extend plays. I thought

25
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: we got him a number of times, kept him in

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: the pocket pretty darn well all in all, pressured him.

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: I felt good about it can be better. Absolutely, it

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: can be better, and in some cases with Patrick, just

29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,839
Speaker 2: like it's gonna be with Gardner Minshew, because they're mobile

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: guys who move around knowing better than Patrick Mahomes. But

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: just a matter of just just be impatient enough to

32
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: go ahead and wrap him up. You know, those are

33
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: the things I think that that we couldn't do better.

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: And we talked about that today. When did you When

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: were you notified about this point of bamphasis about the

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: formations and are you satisfied that.

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: Point made it's not going to be an issue going

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: forward or how do you approach it there?

39
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, we had the officials here in the preseason

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: and uh and we uh, we talked to him about it.

41
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: Lined up, Ronnie lined up probably closer than he did

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: in the preseason practices in all those times. Uh, and

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 2: then they called him, you know, so Uh, we hate.

44
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 2: We do have data on that, and we have tracking data.

45
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: They get the chips in the shoulder pads, so we

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: know exactly where Ronnie was lined up relative to where

47
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: their guys were lined up. Uh. And Uh, I'm not

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 2: worried about it going forward. I thought Ronnie was in

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 2: reasonable position there most all the time. I do think

50
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: the adjustment needs to be made. Is is like during

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 2: the course of the drive. If they basically if it's

52
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: something that you didn't expect and it's totally different than

53
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: they're calling the games, he's got to make the You

54
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 2: got to make the drastic adjustment right away and then

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: we'll talk about it later, you know. And Ronnie was

56
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: Ronnie actually thought he was doing that. So when you

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: watch the tape, I think what he said bears out. John,

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: I have to the game. I think some of the

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 2: players we're talking about them edunication the defense, or can

60
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: be more so specific when it comes to the cloud

61
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: and communication on defense. Our issues on defense were, Uh,

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: we had a missed assignment, you know that hurt us.

63
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 2: That's something that was really not so much a communication issue,

64
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: just just a volume issue probably as much as anything.

65
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, we're looking at that really hard first game

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: of the season in that kind of an environment. The

67
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: other issues were more just the way we played the play.

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: So I don't think maybe communication was used in kind

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: of a general term. I think the substitution issues were

70
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 2: legit if you want to call those communications. Certainly, probably

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: we had too many substitution groups up to be honest,

72
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: you know, I think we were trying to play a

73
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: lot of different guys and get them in their situationally,

74
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I guess the no huddle team, and we didn't do

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: a great job. They were selling guys in like at

76
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: eighteen seconds on the play clock and calling their play

77
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: real quick. So that creates an issue where we put

78
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: our group in there, then you gotta call the play

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: before the fifteen second clock goes off. I think that

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: might have been it. Maybe that was what they were

81
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: talking about, that was a communication issue, But really more

82
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: it's a it's kind of a substitution issue. We changed it.

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: We fixed it in the third quarter when we when

84
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: we kept our groups on the field, and we didn't

85
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: have an issue to that, So that's probably what they're

86
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: talking about Blacker Room the week one breach here when

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: you make the oldest progress that you read that, I've

88
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: been saying that for seventeen years here, you know, and

89
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: I would say that, you know, and and that's what

90
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: you know, I appreciated about. I think what our guys

91
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: were saying after the game, you know, taking that kind

92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 2: of positive approach. Not in any way too. I mean

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, they're a great football team. I mean they

94
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: won the game because they played the winning is football.

95
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: You know, they made the fewest mistakes and that's why

96
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: they won the game. And those are things that you know,

97
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: those those that get your floor in your ceiling, right,

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: the floor, the ceiling, how highs the ceiling, how highs

99
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: the floor, how lows the ceiling, How how lows the floor?

100
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: You want to always raise the floor, you know. That's

101
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: what winning football does. It raises the floor as high

102
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: as it can be. And we've been that kind of

103
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: team over the years. That's why we won so many games.

104
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: And I think that the Chiefs floor was higher in

105
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 2: that game than our game was and and ultimately that

106
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: was probably the difference in the game. So those are

107
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: the things I think we can do this week. We

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: can raise that flo lower up quite high. I'm not

109
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: too worried about our ceiling. I know we've got tremendous

110
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: players and we'll make plays, but I want to see

111
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: that floor come up a little bit and play a

112
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: little more that way between week one and week two.

113
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: The follow up on.

114
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 3: That, in terms of some of the things you just highlighted,

115
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: was that attributable to some of their success in the

116
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 3: middle of the field. It seemed like that, you know,

117
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 3: they were particularly successful there if you will.

118
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: They had some crossing routes back if you want to

119
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: know the details of it. I mean, we got quarters

120
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: covers in the backside. They were on speed from bunch

121
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: splitz back to the quarter side, and they were leveraging

122
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: the underneath the underneath defense. A couple of times, especially

123
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: early in the game, we cleaned it up. We changed

124
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: which side we were rolling the coverage too, and it

125
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: cleaned it up. So you do make those adjustments during

126
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: the course of the game. I mean, you know, you're

127
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 2: playing a team that game plans really well, and that

128
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: had whole off season to game plan us, you know,

129
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: so they came up with a couple probably three good

130
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: ideas that were that were good that. It's the nice

131
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: thing about it is you play that team in the

132
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: first week, you see the stuff that other people might

133
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: see too, probably not, because they're probably the best in

134
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: the business at that. So I feel kind of good

135
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: about that. I thought we adjusted during the game on

136
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: those things pretty well, things we hadn't seen before.

137
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 3: People talk about the formation stuff about consistency, and I've

138
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: read some stuff over the weekend that the concern would

139
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: be different.

140
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: Officiating crews may call it different.

141
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 4: I don't know your what your plans were Sunday, But

142
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 4: did you watch the game looking.

143
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: For that in particular where guys were lined up on

144
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 2: other teams? Is that something you guys have paid attention to? Well,

145
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't watch the games looking for that,

146
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: but we have we have tracking data, so our analytics

147
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: people will have the tracking data. We have the tracking

148
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: data from that game. We know exactly where the chief

149
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: tackles were lined up and exactly where ours were lined up,

150
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: so we know and if someone wants to do that,

151
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: maybe our guys will do. That's probably good idea. I

152
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: haven't sent it to you, you know, for the league,

153
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: and you'll have it. That's not I mean it's public

154
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 2: information as far as I know. If it's not, I'm

155
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 2: sure we'll get a memo from the league on that.

156
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: But so that it's not even that's one of those

157
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: ones that's black and white. You know, you can look

158
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: at that and know exactly where they're lined up, so

159
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 2: you can know exactly whether it's being called consistently or not. Coach,

160
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: But was the reaction to Kyle van Noyd's diagnosis and

161
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: what's the game plan going forward the next couple weeks

162
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: about the veteran like that on the outside, Uh, my

163
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: reaction is that their injury report will come out Wednesday

164
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: after practice and we'll know more then.

165
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: So we know.

166
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 3: The run game is a big part of what you

167
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: guys want to do, especially with Henry here now not

168
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 3: a lot of success Thursday night.

169
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 4: What did you see when you watched.

170
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: The run game.

171
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: I think it's a great quick point and I think

172
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: it's gonna be kind of Every game is gonna be

173
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: kind of interesting and different. I like the way the

174
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: run game looked for the most part, with just the

175
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: running back run game. There were some plays that I'd

176
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: like to see be blocked a little better, but other

177
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: plays that were blocked really well, and and then we

178
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: rushed for one hundred and eighty five yards overall, and

179
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: a lot of that to them. A but that's the formula.

180
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 2: The formula is all the guys together. It's not just

181
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: the one guy. I think we didn't bring Derek in

182
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: here to be, you know, the guy that gets the

183
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: ball thirty times a game. He's done that before. That's

184
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: really not the plan. The plan is is Derek Lamar, Mark,

185
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: Isaiah Zay, Bait Nelly. You know, that's kind of the

186
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: plan in this offense going forward. So I think that

187
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: evaluation will be best made, you know, over the course

188
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: of the season. And I'm very confident there's gonna be

189
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: games where where where Derek's gonna go for one hundred

190
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: plus or more and you're gonna be asking me, why

191
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: ISAA only got two catches? You know, that's probably gonna

192
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: happen during the course of the season, and that's gonna

193
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: be good for us. That's that's what we want to be.

194
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: We want to be unpredictable that way, and where what

195
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 2: does the game take us? You know as we get

196
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: into the game.

197
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 4: I guess along those lines, one of the things you

198
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 4: were hearing from Putnit's on Friday, was are the Ravens

199
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: kind of searching for I appreciate the pundit, thank you.

200
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: Are they searching for an offensive identity?

201
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: And I mean you were sort of just touching on that.

202
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: I mean, do you feel like you're maybe gonna have

203
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 4: a different offensive identity week to week to.

204
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: Some well, I mean you're gonna use your different weapons

205
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: week the week, you know. I feel like an offensive

206
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: idea entity is definitely something that you you develop over

207
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 2: the course of time. We've had We've had a lot

208
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 2: of iterations of offensive identities over the years, especially since

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: Lamar's been here. But they do start with your quarterback.

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: You know, if you watch you look at the Chiefs,

211
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 2: it definitely starts as Patrick. They're probably more established with

212
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: that right now with our guys that they have. But

213
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 2: you know, Pacheco gets the ball, where was where was?

214
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: Kels didn't get the balls many times in this game,

215
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 2: you know, So it's just going to be game to

216
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: a game like that in any good offense.

217
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 3: Obviously a lot of kudos for Justice Phill on those

218
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 3: those last two plays blocking Chris Jones won one. I

219
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: guess first of all, was that what was supposed to

220
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: happen execution isn't. And second one, just what did.

221
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: You kind of see? Yeah, well, I give I give well,

222
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 2: I showed the guys that those two plays I get.

223
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: I thought Justice was amazing. You know, I give him

224
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: all the cred in the world. That was one of

225
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: those ones with the crowd noise. We wanted to bake.

226
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: We wanted to go to a base six man protection

227
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 2: and fan our tackles, but we didn't get to it

228
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: with the crowd noise. Maybe that's a communication thing on offense,

229
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: uh that we would have liked to have had. And

230
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: I think in that protection, Justice made the adjustment he

231
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: was expecting to tackle to probably, but then he tackled

232
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: in fan and there he was with number ninety five

233
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: right in front of him, and I thought he did

234
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: a pretty darn good job given the circumstances. So that's

235
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: part of the communication. When you're up there and you're

236
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: looking for blitz or no blitz, those kind of things,

237
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: and you check your protections to that kind of stuff.

238
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 2: You've got to work through those things. Roger Rose Garden

239
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: in for a couple series in the first half. Are

240
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: you guys pretty committed to giving him more game action,

241
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: finding opportunities for him to play a little right tackle. Yeah,

242
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I think just it would be smart. He's

243
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: a talented player. It would be smart to develop him,

244
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: you know as we go. You know, you got the

245
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: veteran guy, Pat McCarry's. I think it's about a solid

246
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: of a players you're ever going to see. Knows what

247
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: he's doing, Trustworthy been there before that environment, you know,

248
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: Pat was Pat was, Pat was what we thought was

249
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: the best best there and I think going forward, but

250
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: also Roger is an up and coming player, and we

251
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 2: want to make sure that we keep keep giving him

252
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: opportunities to grow those lines. You know, earlier we were

253
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 2: talking about progress week one, week two. It happens for

254
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: all players. How much of that progress do you want

255
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: to see on that offensive line? You know, among everybody?

256
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: And I guess from a chemistry how much I'd like

257
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: to see it be ten million times better. That's what

258
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: I want. But you think it'll be ten many times better,

259
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: It's gonna be twice as good. Dependine you're gonna get,

260
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 2: You're gonna get. The baseline is not He's pretty darn good.

261
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 2: Baseline is pretty darn good in that environment against that

262
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 2: against that defense. You know, I'm not I'm not as

263
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 2: like fair klempt is that is that the right word

264
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: for clempt? Okay, thanks, I appreciate that. It doesn't bother

265
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 2: me as much as it bothers you, obviously or some others.

266
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: I'm not too worried about the offensive line because I

267
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: know how hard day work, and I know how talented

268
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: they are. And I watch all the other offensive lines

269
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, and I think if you

270
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: applied some of the same standard to the other offensive

271
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: lines out there, you'd be like, boy, it's a tough

272
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: position to play against these guys. So our offensive line

273
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 2: is gonna be really good this year. I believe that

274
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: we're working hard towards that. So I'm not gonna sit

275
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 2: here and doubt those guys. I'm gonna coach those guys,

276
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: and those guys are gonna get out there and play,

277
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: and I think by the end of the season, you're

278
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: gonna feel real good about our offensive line chemistry working,

279
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 2: you know, working together. The more time they have on

280
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: the field together help that massively, massively, no doubt. I mean,

281
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 2: when that when that offensive line goes out there again

282
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: in that in that stadium with that crowd noise against

283
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 2: that defense. Uh, and that kind of a game that

284
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: that's that's it. Man. It's not gonna get tougher than that.

285
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: So I appreciate that. Now, we got another challenge coming

286
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 2: in here this week because we've got another great defensive

287
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 2: line that will be lining up again. So let's get

288
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: locked in on that challenge. Keep it simple, and we'll

289
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: be in good shape for fronts for one hundred and

290
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: twenty two yards. I mean, at this point, seven years

291
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: into this.

292
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: Whole thing, do you does that still impressure or as

293
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 4: you kind of go like, oh, that's that's Lamar.

294
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, well it still impresses me. I mean

295
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: I think it should. Doesn't impress you presses Lamar always

296
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: impresses me. I just I feel like he never he

297
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: doesn't really surprise me because I guess we've seen it

298
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: so much and it's just been a gift to Baltimore

299
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: and to to to the Ravens and to all of

300
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: our fans and all of us. But you know, being

301
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: there and there with him every day, I recognize how

302
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: how how much it means to him, how competitive he is,

303
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: what kind of a fighter he is, and this guy

304
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: wants to win, you know. He wants to he wants

305
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: to make plays, he wants to lead his team. You know.

306
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: That's what I saw on Thursday night. And all the

307
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: football stuff. We just keep coaching, you know, and he's

308
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: the leader in that. So but I'm proud of him.

309
