Speaker 1: Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today, we heard from head
Speaker 1: coach John Harball giving the final injury updates heading into
Speaker 1: Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. We also heard
Speaker 1: in the locker room from wide Receiverse Flowers and outside
Speaker 1: linebacker Kyle Van Nuyt. Let's start with Harps.
Speaker 2: Okay, great, seeing everybody appreciate you guys being here. A
Speaker 2: couple of things we have, just really one thing. Nate
Speaker 2: I was in a car accident a couple of days ago.
Speaker 2: They were kind of working through. It looks like he's
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to make it to the game,
Speaker 2: So he'll be out for this game. With that, what questions?
Speaker 2: He's fine, he's healthy, he's fine, but he's just not
Speaker 2: gonna be able to play. What questions you have, coach?
Speaker 2: The Chiefs were sort of determined to the double covered
Speaker 2: to Andrews, which I think, do you think I create
Speaker 2: opportunities for Isay? Likely? And did that sort of shut
Speaker 2: their focus down before his breakout game? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 2: that's that's what you hope, that you've got different guys
Speaker 2: in different spots to draw attention in different ways, you know,
Speaker 2: and hopefully you're out combinations and running the ball and
Speaker 2: throwing the ball and all different things you do put
Speaker 2: people in conflict defensively, you know, what where do you
Speaker 2: move your coverage or who do you cover or who
Speaker 2: you put on who? And if we can create those
Speaker 2: kind of problems throughout the season, that would be that'd
Speaker 2: be a big plus for us.
Speaker 3: John with the Raiders playing the Chargers in week one, brother,
Speaker 3: isn't that coach?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 4: Any correspondence with you might have to play them in
Speaker 4: week two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we always talk, but it's amazing. It's
Speaker 2: it's probably overrated. You know. Everybody has I think similar information,
Speaker 2: you know, and really what it boils down to is
Speaker 2: how you approach it, how you want to game plan it,
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. So we can see on tape
Speaker 2: what they did and then you kind of try to
Speaker 2: build your plan yourself. So I don't think there's too
Speaker 2: too many secrets out there. John with with Nate, I
Speaker 2: know you said he's okay.
Speaker 4: Is this a more of a week two week situation
Speaker 4: that your guys are just till you to monitor with him?
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know. It's a car accident, you know,
Speaker 2: we'll have to It's funny like, uh, I've heard it
Speaker 2: said like like sometimes, like you guys will ask a
Speaker 2: question and I'll go, like, you know why cause I
Speaker 2: have no idea what the answer is. I have no
Speaker 2: absolutely no idea what the answer is. So and I say, well,
Speaker 2: what am I gonna say? Cause I don't really know
Speaker 2: what it It's a car accident. It doesn't seem real serious.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: Beyond that, what do I know? I don't know anything.
Speaker 2: Coaching the team, trying to get ready to play. Really,
Speaker 2: that's really what it is. The doctors don't even know,
Speaker 2: if you don't be honest, the doctors don't know, and
Speaker 2: they're the doctors, and I can say I'm not a doctor, right,
Speaker 2: but they don't know half the time. You know, that's
Speaker 2: proven true. You guys have been to the hospital and stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, they try to figure stuff as best they can.
Speaker 2: So we'll see how.
Speaker 4: Does this change your secondary rotation considering it'll.
Speaker 2: Change it, you know, yeah, we'll get the certain guys
Speaker 2: in there that are going there and play and play
Speaker 2: very well. Okay, al rightly not obviously, don't have great
Speaker 2: questions right now today, So that's fine. First question, yesterday
Speaker 2: you good? He did assault of your questions. Everybody's got
Speaker 2: to bring it every day. Man, you got to bring
Speaker 2: your game every day. It's a competitive world out there.
Speaker 2: Back on practicially any sense for him, he's out there practicing.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: We'll just have to see how it responds. See I
Speaker 2: feels tomorrow and see if you can go all right, John?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 2: John?
Speaker 4: Before the game, Honora, Joe, d and Jacobe.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: How how emotional do you think that's gonna be for
Speaker 4: just you and and and the rest of the team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it'll be a challenge, you know. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a it's a great I'm just glad we're doing it,
Speaker 2: you know. I think it's awesome. The Ravens over the years,
Speaker 2: you know, led by Steve and all the great people here,
Speaker 2: have always been great about those kind of things, you know,
Speaker 2: and even the stuff they put out with the videos
Speaker 2: and tributes and things like that, just honoring the people
Speaker 2: that played here, coach to here, all those kind of things.
Speaker 2: It's pretty awesome and I'm happy they're doing it, proud
Speaker 2: to do it, and it will be a strong moment
Speaker 2: for families and for friends and for all of us.
Speaker 2: And then we got to go play a game, so
Speaker 2: that'll be what we got to focus on and try
Speaker 2: to honor them by the way we play.
Speaker 1: Next up, here's outside linebacker kyle Vin Noi talking about
Speaker 1: the eye injury he suffered last week against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: Just how are you feeling and how good did it
Speaker 1: feel to get back on the field.
Speaker 4: To feel really good? Feeling good, feeling optimistic. I still
Speaker 4: have two days obviously, and just trying to do everything
Speaker 4: I can, and you know, we're looking to just go
Speaker 4: one and know this week against the Raiders. They're a
Speaker 4: good teams. They've had success traveling east most West Coast
Speaker 4: teams I don't think have as much as success as
Speaker 4: the Raiders have, and they've done a good job with
Speaker 4: Antonio Piers leading the helmet with a fractured orbital, Yeah,
Speaker 4: very very serious.
Speaker 1: Did you expect to be soon?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just grateful for the specialists that I
Speaker 4: have and the the doctors that treated me, and you know,
Speaker 4: very appreciative of the the everybody that's been involved in
Speaker 4: this and just taking it one day at a time.
Speaker 4: You know, like I said, forty eight hours is still
Speaker 4: a long ways away, and you know we'll see.
Speaker 2: That injury or challenged to it from an equipment standpoint,
Speaker 2: trying to does a helmet advisor like anything that need
Speaker 2: to be modified just to protect your line when you play?
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I play, you know, I'll talk to the
Speaker 4: equipment and the doctors to make sure I have the
Speaker 4: proper gear. Definitely aware advisor, that's for sure, But do
Speaker 4: everything necessarily necessary to be ready if I play? Is
Speaker 4: that an injury where there is much they.
Speaker 2: Can do to treat it?
Speaker 4: Or say that one more time said, is.
Speaker 2: It an injury where they can do much to treat it?
Speaker 2: Or do you just have to rest it?
Speaker 4: I mean, it's when you have a bone break, it's
Speaker 4: kind of time, right. Uh, But that's just with any bone,
Speaker 4: whether it's a finger, foot, anything like that. I mean,
Speaker 4: you could obviously have surgery, and you know, just time
Speaker 4: is probably gonna be the best.
Speaker 1: Help you feel that.
Speaker 2: It's a matter of being clear body the doctors more
Speaker 2: than you feel like good enough to play right now.
Speaker 1: Or what's kind of status?
Speaker 4: You know. I think I'm just gonna do what's best
Speaker 4: for me, and the doctors are going to do what's
Speaker 4: best for me as well. So I think it's going
Speaker 4: to be a tag team effort. Uh, And Honestly, I've
Speaker 4: just been grateful for the specialist that I've talked with.
Speaker 4: Everybody has been awesome in that regards, and I've gotten
Speaker 4: awesome responses from being able to communicate with them, being
Speaker 4: able to meet with some of the best specialists for
Speaker 4: a long period of time to get all the questions
Speaker 4: that I have had asked and answered. It has been awesome.
Speaker 2: The Union made a supportive comment yesterday, you know, the
Speaker 2: League had their response to that. Do you do you
Speaker 2: have anything more to say about Kansas City?
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course I have more to say, but I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna I'm not gonna get into that just because
Speaker 4: I'm I'm honestly all focused on the Raiders now, like
Speaker 4: I obviously have a lot to say about it, but
Speaker 4: at the same time, there's no point to continue to
Speaker 4: go back and forth. You know, you're right or I'm right. However,
Speaker 4: I'm just focused on the Raiders, excited to potentially play,
Speaker 4: excited to be back out there with my teammates today.
Speaker 4: I thought today was a great practice, and just looking
Speaker 4: forward to the next forty eight hours.
Speaker 1: Could you have any.
Speaker 2: Further interactions with Kansas City?
Speaker 1: Was there any other communication?
Speaker 4: Alady not running nope.
Speaker 1: And lastly, here's wide receiver Zay Flowers.
Speaker 2: A debut.
Speaker 4: Now, how how excited are you to to be.
Speaker 2: Back in front of the home towns?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: Super incided, super incided, Shoot me a forward, super excited. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, just be able to go out there and
Speaker 3: play again in front of the home team. You know,
Speaker 3: we got the best crowd, We got the best fans
Speaker 3: in the nation. So just being back in front of
Speaker 3: them and be able to play just gonna give us
Speaker 3: a new energy.
Speaker 1: What do you see from this offense after week one?
Speaker 3: What were some of the.
Speaker 1: Takeaways for yards? Like?
Speaker 3: Good takeaways? Yeah, good takeaway. You know we put up
Speaker 3: we had four hundred fifty three yards and we had
Speaker 3: but a hundred yards in penalties. So once we get
Speaker 3: that down and use those penalties as for a progress,
Speaker 3: we gonna have five hundred six hundred yards of offense.
Speaker 3: So I feel like that's the positive where you got
Speaker 3: a lot more left.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know you were talking about how much more comfortable
Speaker 1: you feel in your two. Did that translate to the
Speaker 1: field in cac Did you feel a difference.
Speaker 2: From your own to year tip?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, like I was way more can I just went
Speaker 3: out and played football and just played my game. So
Speaker 3: I wasn't really like last year. I was in my
Speaker 3: head just moving fast, and this year I was more
Speaker 3: calm and knew what I was doing a lot more.
Speaker 1: Is there any inspiration seeing Davante Adams, you know on
Speaker 1: the other side, Oh, he'd go, he'd to go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. I've been watching him since. I tried
Speaker 3: to steal some of his moods. But I'm not as
Speaker 3: tall and I'm not you know what I mean. I
Speaker 3: just use it. I just use it in my own way.
Speaker 3: So I used to watch him a lot, try to
Speaker 3: translate some of his moves of my game. I thought
Speaker 3: he was the best receivering in lead for like the
Speaker 3: last five six years, because nobody can match his movement.
Speaker 3: Nobody can match what you do.
