What 0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:09.440 kind of trade camp do you think he's. 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:12.160 Kind of put together, I would says, put together fantastic 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.200 training camp. To your point, I mean another great day. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:16.280 We're connected on a bunch of deep balls out there. 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.200 He's been spectacular with their route running. 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:19.880 Uh details. 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.560 I feel like at the timing has been fantastic with him. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.440 Is just a very special athlete. It comes to work 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:28.360 every day and ready to go to work. So we're 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.160 very proud of them and keep going. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.640 John, we saw it. I don't handles that go down 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:34.679 like a left leg injury. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.640 And the update there, yeah, looks stable, looks good. Uh 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.720 you know, obviously we'll continue to do some tests tonight 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:43.200 and tomorrow to make sure. But first indications are that's 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:43.760 he's fine. 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.920 Did you guys get a more substantial update that's right 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:48.000 on Wiggins and where everything? 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.280 Yeah, Wiggins is not a serious injury. Uh has the 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:53.400 same one that I got yesterday or last week on 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.160 the on the water slide. 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.320 Yeah, look at look at my moviment. I could have 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.400 I went back to for the game. So I think 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.400 we're good son official designation with the water slide injury. 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.800 It is actually yeah, it was actually an a C spraying, 0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.600 So I don't even know if this is that very serious. 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.959 So but you know, you know, I would say that 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.359 from an immune system standpoint, there's some superpowers that have 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.519 to do with healing with some people, and I'm just 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.160 one of those guys that just comes back like that. 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.040 So I can't expect that of all the guys. But 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.680 you know, so we'll see how he how he responds. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:24.919 I'm ready. I was ready for Friday. I would have. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.560 Yeah, I might have taken a little shot or something 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.359 to get it done, but we'd have been out there 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.400 if anybody had wanted to be out there. Cut your 0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:34.079 kid definitely the secondary with some guys going down, give 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.280 me that second preseason game. 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:37.959 Yes, we're in good shape. We don't have h we 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.000 don't have any serious stuff. So we got Arthur. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.400 That's still gonna be something that's going to go into 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.440 the probably the first couple of weeks this season. 0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:45.560 But that's all we have right now. 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:47.880 So it Friday's games looked like it's tussling. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.639 Get the passing offensive stab between now and Saturday, what 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:51.359 kind of improvements. 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:53.560 Yeah, you know, I think that's just something we got 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.240 chased in practice. I mean in the preseason and if 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.440 you watch all the preseason games, the passing game is 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:00.560 going to be the biggest challenge. I don't really see 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.680 too many teams out there just you know, dicing people 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.480 up in the passing game because your guys aren't out there. 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.160 So the timing is going to be what it is. 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.000 So we're not too worried about that. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.880 It's obviously we want to be as good as it 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:11.960 can possibly be, and we want to see guys step up, 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.160 run good routes, make plays. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:16.640 You know, that's that's a work in progress. 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.480 But you're developed. You're talking about developmental guys. For the 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.239 most part, I thought Josh handled that well. You know, 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.480 there weren't always the right routes being run. We had 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.400 a couple of little hiccups and protection with some of 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.560 the younger guys, So just things like that are things 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.799 we worked through. I did think the offensive line played well. 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.160 Go back and you watch the tape from a run 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.480 blocking standpoint and the pass blocking standpoint. 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:37.920 A man for man, I thought they played well. Just 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.640 specifically get that probably with the position change. Now that 0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:45.120 he's practiced three or four weeks now at like guard, 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:46.760 how do you think he did in the game. Was 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.839 it a continuation of what you've seen in practice. Now thought, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.040 I thought you made a jump in the game. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:54.160 You know, he passed protection especially, was really good with 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:57.160 his feet, uses punch, punched well, stage square, stayed in 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.280 front of people. I thought he played well and I 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.480 thought he especially played one pass protection run game he 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.760 was good too. So, uh, you know, that was kind 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.240 of a I'd say that he passed the test, passed 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.760 the first test, and keep building from there and get 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.200 to the next game. We had a big week of 0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.760 practice this week to keep building. But I was happy 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.400 with Daniel, I was happy with Seppy, with Bennett center. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.120 I thought Ben played well at center. Uh maybe he's 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.720 a center, you know, so, but he can also play guard. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:21.960 So that was It was a lot of good things. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:22.680 I long to say. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.680 One did you feel like wore he is and Rosengarden 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:27.640 sort of made a good case that they could play 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.280 well in week one if you decided to go that way. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.200 I do think so. I do think so. For Heast 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.839 was very consistent and Rose mcguard was very consistent. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:34.200 You know. 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.920 For for Roger, let's get up some more plays next week. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:38.000 You know, we were kind of working. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.080 We had Pat got Pat played well, uh, and then 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.839 Josh played well at left tackle. And then so Rogers 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.239 reps were a little less. We'll get Rogers Moore reps 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.800 next week and practice this week. But he also, I 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:50.839 would say the whole offensive line passed the test. There's 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.000 nobody really in that group of guys you're talking about 0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:55.400 that didn't look like they could play just. 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.520 One target for a test water at the Point Park. 0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:58.520 What do you think he had to end of the 0:04:58.600 --> 0:04:59.039 n for the. 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.840 Leaks gay, Yeah, no doubt. He's been dealing with the 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.560 rib thing, so he's been a little limited with that. 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.960 So hopefully that kind of it should be good this week, 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.760 and if nothing else happens, I'd like to see him 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.440 get out there and take take a lot more reps 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:10.920 and and really see what he can do. 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.080 We saw you add a couple of Daman receivers Russell 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.360 Gage at the other side up there to day, and 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:18.520 you're just looking for a little a little better of 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.120 a presence in his well receiving room. 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.000 Is there's something you're looking for him with these guys, 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.240 You think, Well, I think sometimes you know you're you're 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.120 playing the opportunities. You know, there's an opportunity to bring 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:29.960 those guys in who've done some things. I mean Russell. 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.479 Obviously he has had a ton of catches in the league. 0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.320 Anthony's been in the league two or three years and 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.600 he's a talented guy. Hasn't broken through yet, but you know, 0:05:36.680 --> 0:05:38.400 we we were impressed with his talent, how to work out. 0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.880 Looked very good. Looks like he's in great shape. So 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:42.400 why not take a look at these guys and see 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:43.920 what they can do and see if they can make 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:44.280 a push. 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.920 You expect that, we do. We do expect Bait back 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:49.360 real soon. 0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.960 Yeah, yeah, and what I want to speak for him, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.000 but I think he's I think he's real right, he's 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:54.400 right there. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.200 He's practicing at eleven on eleven today. 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.599 Kind of his ramp up, and it is a ramp up, 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:03.800 so it was a limited type of a practice today. 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:05.039 Uh, looked good. 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:07.480 Came inside one time, we got pinned inside a little 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.560 anxious to get in there and would have given up contaents. 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:10.600 I'll talk to him about that. 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:13.400 But seeing him out there, he chased I think he 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:15.000 chased Josh around the corner. 0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:16.080 He could see his speed. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.880 He looks big out there. So yeah, I'm excited to 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:21.679 have him back out there. I know nobody's more excited 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.320 than he is it's hard come in you're a rookie 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.520 and you know you got to be kind of on 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.320 you're on the shelf for all these months. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:30.640 That's tough. So he's really excited to be back. 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:32.440 As PJ. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.280 Tample working off the side is already. 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:37.680 Kind of he's getting close. He's getting close. It's not 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.080 not probably this week, but he's getting close. So what 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:45.240 you saw the pisa at Isaac out there the second record, 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:46.400 Horton's ramp up. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.800 I'm sure what are you see him so far as progress? 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.680 For me, yeah, i'd say right on the schedule. 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.840 This was, as we mentioned, the first kind of the 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.719 first day of a of a of a limited practice. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.200 So I hope he ramps up quickly. You know that's 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:01.000 gonna be the hope. I love to get him in 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.400 the game, you know this week if we could, John, 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.200 did you have any updates on Machina leave against see 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.320 how the years us Cain. Yeah, those guys are both 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.320 end up being kind of stinger type guys in the game, 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.800 so they'll go through a protocol with that. They usually 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:17.720 involve those guys in the concussion program. I don't even 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:19.320 know if they're in the concussion protocol to be honest 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.800 with you, I'm not sure, but but they'll be fine. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:24.480 He said, you were comfortable and. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.360 Our persons are kind of playing the first week. 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:29.680 How close do you think you ordered me? 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.280 Well, I mean, I'm comfortable that they took the steps 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:33.880 that they showed us that they have a shot to 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.840 do it. They haven't been you know, they're not there yet, 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.000 but we still got three weeks, you know, have work 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.360 to do. So I think they're very much in the mix. 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.720 And how close were we to name in it? Probably 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:50.400 you know, another game, maybe two games. Honestly, do you 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:53.680 think a job the Woods here to play? I do 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.400 think he will be, but that's up to the doctors. 0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.240 You know, they decide that. So they just didn't player 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.640 in for this game. But uh, in anticipating he will be. 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.480 But we'll see if he's practice full speed today. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.000 So it looked pretty good. 0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:09.840 John Woof, you. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.640 Thought of one Bright in the preseason opener in his 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:13.800 training camp as a whole. 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:15.640 Yeah, I think Owen has been one of those guys. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.600 You know, he's he's a he's an explosive guy, and 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.080 I thought he ran the ball hard north and south. 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:23.680 You know, he's hit it up in there was explosive, 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.520 pretty pretty solid pass protection, ran the routes well. I 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:29.320 thought he made a case for himself, so we'll see 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.160 going forward. I really thought all the guys did Collier 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.720 and you know, didn't get many reps and Ali Olli 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.720 ran in there hard. Now you know, he was aggressive 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.160 and he's got that speed and explosiveness. The one he 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.640 popped around the edges. Kind of good to see that burst. 0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:42.839 And I promise he's got good hands. I mean he 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:44.800 shows good hands out here in practice. You know he 0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:48.319 had the one drop. I'm not gonna panic about that. 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:49.199 He's got good hands. 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.840 Got only your person looked at the new kickoff for any. 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:58.200 Of your assessments with it in life, Yeah, I would 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.640 say it's hard to see, you know, all all the 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.800 little stuff because everything is at the same time, and 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:07.360 you got a bunch of guys like running into each 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:09.199 other close quarters at the same time, and there was 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:11.640 there was a there was a block in the back. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.160 They don't there's this blatant takedown that went into somebody's knee. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.480 So I'm a little a little concerned about all the 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:26.079 all the chaotic injury potential for the play. Uh, But 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:28.000 I thought it was a lot of fun. I thought 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.520 our guys did a good job with it. I thought 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.240 our coverage was good. We had said one one that 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:33.640 wasn't great, the rest of them were great. And I 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.719 thought our returns we were blocking people really well, and 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:37.679 we just got to keep building on it. So I 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.839 would say, probably, if I could, probably, that's gonna be 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.520 my last statement honestly about like what we want to 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.640 think of it, because who cares. Uh, I think it's 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.000 going to be I think I think I want us 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.079 to be good at it, and so we were pretty 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.120 good at it in this first game, so let's let's 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:53.559 build on that. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:54.720 Let's go, all right. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:10:02.480 Thanks you're listening to the Ravens Press Pass podcast.
