00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: The Ravens won their fourth straight game by taking down

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Next up they have the

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: New York Jets coming to M and T Bay Stadium. Today,

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from head coach John Harpball.

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody here. Appreciate you guys being here.

7
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 2: A good win, and we're focusing on the next challenge,

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: which will be the Jets on Sunday. Very important game

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: again and opportunity to get above five hundred and and

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: keep in the hunt for the division title. More a

11
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: game behind there, that's the big picture, but the focus

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: is on preparing for the next game. Well, questions you

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: have as.

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 3: Far as entry wise, did you guys come out of

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: this scheme?

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, we look pretty good. We had an issue after

17
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: the game. Keon Martin had to stay in Cleveland with

18
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: a They were looking at a chest injury. It looks

19
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: like he's okay. I had a bunch of testing there

20
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: in the hospital last night. All came out negative, you know,

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: in a good way. And he's back now. So we'll

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: see how that kind of progresses the next twenty four.

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: Hours, Johnny, is your sense that Marlon Humphrey is available

24
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: as we possibly you said a week two based on

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 4: the TV do that, Serge?

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, optimistic about that right now.

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 3: Bo Yep, that's something where you could play with that.

28
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: We saw that rap on.

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure right now. I'm sure they have some

30
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: protection for it, probably though, john when you went back

31
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: and looked at the red zone possessions that for you.

32
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: Ended up having to take fuelbles. What were the combination

33
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 3: of things that you saw that that didn't work as

34
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: well as they should have?

35
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: Right Well, just you know a lot of different things.

36
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, each play is a little bit different.

37
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Some players could have been executed better. Some plays they

38
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: did a great job of defending. You know, try to

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: run it a couple of times, maybe you didn't get

40
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: it in, but bigger pictures, you know, that's that's an

41
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: important part of the field for us. We we uh,

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: we want to score touchdowns down there, you know, and

43
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: you know you at least want to you want to

44
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: protect the three as well. You know, we didn't do

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: that one time with the kind of a fluky play,

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: but but we need to score touchdowns down there. It's

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 2: it's gonna definitely continue to be a point of emphasis.

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 2: It has been, and we want to be more successful

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: down in the red zone for sure.

50
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 5: What are some of the things that you've appointed that you.

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 6: Can do to try to help you in that area?

52
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: What was that?

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 7: What are some of the things that you pinpointed already

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 7: that you guys can do.

55
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: Try some of the things we can what do in

56
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: that area? We can ext do better, We can call

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,279
Speaker 2: better plays. You know, we can make plays.

58
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: Coach, when you go.

59
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 8: Back and look at for it all Miles paract that

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 8: you knew that he was going to come in and

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 8: try and right the game was served different things that

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 8: you guys could have done maybe as the game went

63
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 8: on to try and limit you know, the.

64
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Way we did about everything you can do. You know,

65
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: we tried about everything you can do, and uh we

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: blocked him a number of times.

67
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 9: Uh.

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: That's the kind of defense really that you you want

69
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: to try to hit big plays on. You know, that's

70
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: really the way they're they're organized. We hit some big plays. Uh.

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: You know, the red zone is probably the biggest thing.

72
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: You know, if we could have got the job done

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 2: down there, a little better. You were put. We had

74
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 2: a big, big scoring game. But it's always going to

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 2: be that way when you play that that defense, because

76
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: that's that's they do a good job of creating chaos.

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 2: And then especially him, you know so, uh, that's kind

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 2: of how it goes with him. Yoh, Chris.

79
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 7: Chris Horton last week was talking to us about the

80
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 7: idea of decision making on returns in the one western

81
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 7: return kind of backing upfield and I think.

82
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: The two and then on the wind blow them up.

83
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: What do you what do you say him? Did you

84
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: tell him later in the game, Hey, let's be careful,

85
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 3: you know, let's let those dropping the wind like this.

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: What do you say, Well, everyone's different, you know, so, Uh,

87
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: the one that's tailing away from him, that's you know,

88
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 2: you're on the run there. He definitely knows he doesn't

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: want to catch that one. That's that's hopefully a learning experience.

90
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: You know, it's been probably his first game playing in

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: those kind of conditions with that kind of wind, and

92
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 2: you know, AFC North type of a stadium to experience

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: that with that kind of a cutter ball. You know,

94
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: it's a left footed punter. The ball is cutting away

95
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: from him. That's that's probably one of the most challenging,

96
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: especially that end of of that stadium, really challenging ball.

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 2: That's one you definitely want to get away from. And

98
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 2: uh so he'll learn from that, I'm sure, and he

99
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 2: did as the game when I let another one get

100
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: on the ground, which was good. Backing up like that,

101
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, I think he lost track of where he

102
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: was that probably would have rather had him just let

103
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: that go in the end zone. But there are times

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: and we don't we don't we don't always make a

105
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: hard and fast you know, the ten the old ten

106
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 2: yard line rule, those days have changed a little bit

107
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: because heck, you can the ball come out to the

108
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: eight and roll on to the one that's not that's

109
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: not good, or sometimes you know, they just there's nobody

110
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: near you, you know, and you've seen some long returns

111
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: happen because it's a line drive and there's a lot

112
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: of space, and you don't mind him backing up and

113
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: returning some of those if we've had those over the years,

114
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: all these years that we've been doing it. You don't

115
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: want to harden fast too much, but you do want

116
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: to have principles built around the rule, and you know

117
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: he's learning. You know, he's a rookie, and I think

118
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: he's really accountable, and nobody works harder. I tell you

119
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: he works hard in practice every single day at it.

120
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: He's very coachable. So I think he's going to continue

121
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: to grow that way. John.

122
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 10: You know, for ever since the law has been here,

123
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 10: his wrunging ability has been a big part of this offense.

124
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 10: This year, I think his rushing yards per game is

125
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 10: probably the lowest he's been. There is there a reason why,

126
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 10: as have you guys made a conscious decision not to

127
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 10: close many correct?

128
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: Why do you think he hasn't been running as much

129
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 3: as he hasn't.

130
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: I was happy with some of the runs yesterday. He

131
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: got out of the pocket a few times when he

132
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: when he really really needed him to, and got us

133
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: some yards and saved us a couple of times. I thought.

134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: I thought he also, I give a lot of credit

135
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: because he was under dress a few times, were you know,

136
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 2: in that kind of a game. He made some decisions

137
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: too to protect the football, which was which was big.

138
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: So I thought he played a really smart game that way.

139
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: They we had some quarterback runs called they took away

140
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: the quarterback, you know, a number of times, you know,

141
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: always gonna let him run either, So just week the week,

142
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: have an answer for that, you know, it's it's it's

143
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: not required. You know tomorrow, next thing, you know, lamorrow

144
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: breakout and run for one hundred yards. You know, so

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: that that's always in the sure defenses, I've got to

146
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: consider that as a possibility. And that's that's a good

147
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: thing for us.

148
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 11: John, how much has kind of you guys have been

149
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 11: banged up on and off in the secondary? How much

150
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 11: does a wuz really his ability to kind of step

151
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 11: in and keep things going and just play sound football.

152
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: How important has that been for that group? I think

153
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 2: very important, Jeff. I mean that's I told Eric on

154
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 2: the plane last night. I think that might be his

155
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 2: most underrated signing. You know, it's just a really big,

156
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 2: really been a big signing for us. And he's done

157
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: great and we knew he was a good player. We've

158
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: seen him over the years. I'd say even better than advertised.

159
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: You know, he's played really good football, had a heck

160
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: of a game.

161
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 11: People used to express a teaching tape all the time,

162
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 11: but how he kept working through the ball in the

163
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 11: end zone there and say that is that kind of

164
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 11: an example of what you try to preach.

165
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: It was a great player. Yeah, the ability to just

166
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: to not panic, you know, when you're playing the ball

167
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: downfield like that, especially with your back to the ball

168
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: chasing a fade route. That's probably the toughest thing in

169
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: corner has to do. And to uh to play it

170
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: in a way that you get into the catch cylinder

171
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 2: we call it. In front of the receiver and and

172
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 2: affect the affect the hands, affect the ball, find the ball,

173
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: play the ball, not not hinder the receiver in too

174
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: much of a way where you call for for interference

175
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: or anything like that. You know, he's really done well

176
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: with it. I think a lot of our guys have.

177
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: I think our coaches do a great job of teaching that.

178
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: And he's yeah, he's had some training tape to your

179
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 2: point with that kind of technique.

180
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 10: John, I know we spoke spoke about Kean Martin at

181
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 10: the beginning. I mean, how important just at one his

182
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 10: one field play. How how has that been, especially when

183
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 10: he's been able to step up and playing at one

184
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 10: as well.

185
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he did great. I mean he did great, as

186
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: sach you know, he had a couple of good coverages

187
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: had a bad ball. I thought he played really well,

188
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: played well on special teams. Hasn't been playing well on

189
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 2: special teams. Uh, it's done really really good job.

190
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: You know, Mark Andrews play, Sam and Blaye talked to

191
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: some guys last night that that you know, kind of

192
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: came up just during the week. I know you talked

193
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 3: about it last night. A couple of things. Was that

194
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: born kind of out of that toss to Lamar at

195
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: all that you guys have run the previous week, and

196
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 3: and and sort of I guess I'm trying to get

197
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 3: to the kind of the root of of how you

198
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: guys should have came up at that play.

199
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: We're gonna do a a historical biography on the on

200
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: the game planning process of a play, you know, and uh,

201
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 2: you know, on how did it happen? It happened like

202
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 2: all plays happened, you know, and it was I think

203
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: that's you know, you look at the you look at

204
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: the quarterback sneak and the people going to great lengths

205
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: to get that stop. We've run a number of of

206
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 2: the tush pushes over the last three or four years.

207
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: The sneaks with Mark and uh, you know, at some

208
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: point in time it gets to the extent where they

209
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: just take the play away and you've got to have

210
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 2: an answer. You gotta have a counter punch. And those

211
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: two plays have been in the hopper for a few weeks,

212
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: maybe a month, maybe more, maybe a little more, and uh,

213
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: just kind of been design and stuff like that, trying

214
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 2: to figure it out. And yes, part of it's just

215
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: not one thing, it's all the different plays that everybody

216
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: talks about. So we started working on that one like

217
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. We started working on it a little bit,

218
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: and then this week we got a bunch of reps

219
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 2: in practice on it, and that was it a chance

220
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: to call it.

221
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: How much did with Lamar? And they're going that, how

222
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: much does that obviously drive the hell?

223
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, you saw the hickman, you know,

224
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: went that way with it. You know, he was probably

225
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: responsible for for Lamar there and then the corner on

226
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: the back side that pulled, that held him. So that

227
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: kept your pursuit away a little bit, you know, and

228
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: then you look at what happened with rich Questioninger. You

229
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 2: know he's here. Heck for a player, man, this guy, Wow,

230
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: this guy's all over the field. You know, what a

231
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: what a great pick those guys made there. We loved

232
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: him too, you know, and uh, he probably would have

233
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 2: made the play except Charlie got pinned his guy in

234
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: and got up and got a piece of him there too,

235
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: which was really heads heads up played by Charlie. Excellent

236
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: play by Charlie. Get to get that block. That's probably

237
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: made the difference. That Mark obviously ran really fast. So

238
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 2: that was it, and you know it was it was

239
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: a big play. I mean, it's gonna be in historic

240
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: It's gonna be one of those iconic plays, I think.

241
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: You know, you look at one thing about it. It's

242
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: kind of interesting. You know, you guys have covered the

243
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: ravens and stuff, and you look at look at all

244
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: these games in Cleveland over the years, you know, and

245
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: you know, down twenty to nothing in the first quarter,

246
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: you know, or or a block of field going overtime

247
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 2: four time now, you know, or or Milamar you know,

248
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: coming back on the field after after we go for

249
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 2: fourth and one to fourth and five and throwing a

250
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: touchdown pass. You know. I mean, there's so many crazy

251
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: games in that stadium over the last twenty years. So

252
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: this goes into analyst for sure. With all those.

253
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 7: Games gave it a name, and you guys gave it

254
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 7: a name Hurricane and not been pushing Bush on.

255
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 6: But the trifecta having Derrick, Henry, Mark Andrews and of

256
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 6: course Patrick card Back. How instrumental was having power card

257
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 6: back in a situation like that and making Lamar kind

258
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 6: of the depot?

259
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I mean just Pat probably, I would think

260
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: of it more in the big big picture, you know.

261
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's instrumental and everything as far as

262
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: the run game, you know, and he also play action protection.

263
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: And he's got passes too, you know, It's not like

264
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: you can't catch passes. So yeah, he's part that's that

265
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: plays the part of it. So yes, it's been a

266
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: big deal having Pat back. I guess I'm.

267
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 7: Saying having those three, those three massive bodies right there

268
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 7: and Lamar as the decoy, I mean going forward, that's

269
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 7: something more you can work with, I would presume and

270
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 7: be more creative.

271
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, yeah, they're they're all out there, and

272
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: they're all out there together, you know, in certain plays.

273
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: So it's definitely definitely something that defenses have to contend with.

274
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 8: John last week, Zach Gor said he fought in Minnesota

275
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 8: was Travis Jones' best game.

276
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 3: In his career as a pass rusher. What what have

277
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: you seen from Jones over the last month or so?

278
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 3: It really elevated his game.

279
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's he's, he's kind of notching it up.

280
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 2: I think it's almost a little bit of it's kind

281
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 2: of like confidence, you know. I think with Travis, he's

282
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: such a humble, hardworking guy and sometimes you just want

283
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: to stay at home. It'say, like, hey man, I did

284
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: have him, Like last year, I had him in the

285
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: weight room. I just kind of ran in him and

286
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: we were trying to talk, and I was I said,

287
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 2: come over here. We looked at in the mirror and

288
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 2: I'm standing there. You know, he's standing there and I'm

289
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: standing there and we're looking at each other in the mirror.

290
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,239
Speaker 2: You know, I go, look at yourself. Look at yourself?

291
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: How great you look? You know? You know, guys, you're

292
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: gonna you gonna kill people, You're gonna dominate, you know,

293
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 2: And you know, sometimes he takes he's. He he knows that,

294
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 2: you know, he's he's. He works so hard, but a

295
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: little bit of a belief in your yourself goes a

296
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 2: long way. And I think he's starting to really feel it.

297
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: You know that he can he can take over games

298
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: a little bit.

299
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 12: Obviously it's a small Sampa size, but two straight teams

300
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 12: in a row from Lamar under sixty percent percentage. Obviously,

301
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 12: two good defenses that he's gone against. But any just

302
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 12: common ninitors for some of these misses, mas off rank

303
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 12: these past two weeks.

304
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: No winning games, you know, find a way to win

305
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: the game. That's that's what counts. Uh, That's that's what matters.

306
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 2: And I think Lamar did a great job in both

307
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 2: those games of playing playing that kind of winning football.

308
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 3: It looks like Tyrod Taylor.

309
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor's gonna be a quarterback for the dead. What

310
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: do you remember from.

311
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 3: His his time here?

312
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: I remember his great guy. You know it's been a

313
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: while now, how long has it been.

314
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 3: Probably have been like ten to eleven three years, so.

315
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: Run into him a couple of times since then, you know,

316
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: get a big hug, and uh, the much respect, I mean,

317
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: what a career is a great pick for us. You know,

318
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: he did a great job here, really good guy and

319
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: and and much respect for what he's accomplished. I mean,

320
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: he's been in the league a long time. He's always

321
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: played well when he's played, and it'll be it'll be

322
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: a dimension for us to have to deal with for sure,

323
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: because he's a really good player.

324
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 9: John Colla, Hamilton had a big impact in your pass

325
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 9: rush yesterday and just even when they had a guy

326
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 9: accounting for him as you.

327
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 3: Can made a professional quarterback.

328
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 9: How rare is that kind of skill set himself of

329
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 9: his size and any defensive back.

330
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty rare, Pretty rare. I mean he he he

331
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: made it really hard on the running backs, you know,

332
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: just to block him, and then his length to you know,

333
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: bat and ball back, ding balls down, those kinds of things.

334
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: It's just it was really he was just impactful. He

335
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 2: was he always is, but he was super impactful the

336
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: whole game pretty much in every way you can be impactful. Yeah,

337
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: he only had one one bad play and it was

338
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 2: really after the play, you know, so we'll have to

339
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: talk about that, you know, just to uh.

340
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 3: To piggyback on that. He was you know, kind of

341
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: all over the field in his style and bears that out.

342
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 3: How much is moving him down as much as you

343
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 3: guys have and stuff changed or impacted influenced what you

344
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 3: want to do defensively.

345
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been big it's been great. It's been great,

346
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: and you see it. I mean it's been as much

347
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: as you see you see it when you watch the

348
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: game for sure. And also we've run him back out too.

349
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: You know, he's gone deep, you know, and they don't

350
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: really know where he's going to show up. I think

351
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: Zach and the guys on defensive done a great job

352
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: with all of our players of moving around and having

353
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: guys show up where they're not really expected to be

354
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: a lot of times.

355
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: John DeAndre Hopkins, that's not the first time that he's

356
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: set you guys up for early to the offense for

357
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: a game changing play this season. How much do you

358
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 5: wish that he was able to get more involved earlier

359
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 5: in the game.

360
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 9: Or is that just really hard because.

361
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: You've got to spread the ball around up to more.

362
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely want to get him involved. I mean,

363
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: you want to get him involved. You want to get

364
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: all the guys involved. So it's not really like one guy.

365
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: I mean, as soon as you talk about one guy,

366
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: that the next game you're talking about the next guy.

367
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 2: And it's the same question, but it's just a different name,

368
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: you know. So that's part of it, you know. But

369
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: hop is definitely a guy that you want to try

370
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: to isolate and get him the ball. You know, he's

371
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: just because he's going to catch it. You know, he's

372
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 2: going to come up with it. That that slant was

373
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: was a heck of a catch and huge, like you said,

374
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: huge huge playing the game. I told him that, you know,

375
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: he wants more and more and more. He wants to

376
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: because it's got who he is. And and I just

377
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: told him, I said, dude, I said, you won the game,

378
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: you know, Keith Mitchell. You know the screen pass that

379
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: won the game. I mean, those are all game winning

380
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: plays that kind of that kind of go into the

381
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 2: series of events, you know. So I absolutely agree with that.

382
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 2: Definitely want to want to get hot as many many

383
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: touches as we possibly can. You know, that's that's important. John.

384
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 11: I think just in general nowadays, people will focus our

385
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 11: one or two clips of a certain all offensive line

386
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 11: or in particular like a group of offensive line. You

387
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 11: guys obviously evaluate everything. Are you seeing the necessary progress

388
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 11: that you want to see from that group as a

389
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 11: whole going forward?

390
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean there's more of the question or

391
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 2: is it just a general question like that question.

392
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 11: About you know, you've been asked almost every week about

393
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 11: maybe potential changes there and why not? And I'm asking

394
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,120
Speaker 11: you know, are you seeing the progress where you don't

395
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 11: think changes are necessary?

396
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 2: You put the best five players out there. The best

397
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: five players are the guys, the best of the guys,

398
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 2: five guys who are playing the best. That's what you do.

399
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's not it's not even hard answer,

400
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 2: you know. So the question is pretty much much, Yeah,

401
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: we're putting the best five players out there and they're

402
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 2: playing pretty darn good. Can they play better? Sure? And

403
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: you evaluate it play by play, every single position. You

404
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 2: evaluate it play for play for play for play, and

405
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: some players are great, some players are good. Some players

406
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 2: need to be better and you want them to be

407
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 2: better and you try to improve on them. So that's

408
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: how it goes with every position. So and there's always

409
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: going to be areas where you know that from one

410
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 2: game to the next, can play better or whatever. So

411
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: that that's how it works. You put your team out

412
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: there and you compete. That's what that's what we've been doing.

413
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: So all all of our guys, including our offensive line,

414
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: you fight and compete and and and uh and get

415
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 2: after it, you know, and that's that's what those guys

416
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 2: are doing too. So none of our positions are perfect.

417
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: And uh and they're not perfect either, so but they're

418
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: trying to be. They're trying to be. So we put

419
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: our best group out there and we fight. That's what

420
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 2: we do.

421
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 12: John, do you think that there are continuity you know,

422
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 12: and just how relatively healthy.

423
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 2: The group is fan like has a high compound effects

424
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 2: this time of.

425
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 3: Years with how much time on past they able to have.

426
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: Sorry five, Yeah, that's important, especially for that position. You

427
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 2: know that it's a valuable thing. Great, great, thanks.
