0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today you'll hear from head

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.520
<v Speaker 1>coach John Harball following the Ravens twenty four to sixteen

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>win over the Tennessee Titans in London. Here's Coach Harball.

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good to see everybody here. Appreciate that. I not

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>some journalists aren't here. They're probably traveling back from London.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 2>So we appreciate those that were there and appreciate you

0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 2>guys back here for being here. First of all, just

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>congrats to our players and our coaches for a great win.

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.479
<v Speaker 2>It's a tough win over there against a very good

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 2>football team, but our guys got the job done. I'm

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 2>proud of them for that. To the fans that were there,

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>there was a lot of great fans in London, Ravens

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 2>fans from really all over the world, and a lot

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:49.640
<v Speaker 2>from Baltimore too. I can't tell you how many fans

0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 2>after the game we saw and they're like from Baltimore,

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 2>coaching from Baltimore, you know, and they were excited so

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and also fans from different places. It's really cool to

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>see how many Ravens fans are all over the world.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 2>It was exciting. And then a salute to our staff,

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Simon Keith, people that you don't even know that just

0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 2>did such a great job, Joan Megan, all the different

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>people that did such an amazing job to make the

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 2>trip out there as best as it could be for

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:25.560
<v Speaker 2>the players and the coaches to focus on football and

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>getting ready to play the game. So I'm just really

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>happy about that, and for Steve Bashatti Steven Renee both

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>for what they do for us in terms of doing

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 2>everything first class so we can do things in a

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 2>way that just gives us the best chance to be

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 2>as good as we can possibly be. So it really

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>shows up on a trip like that with that, what

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>questions you have.

0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.000
<v Speaker 3>John, You just acknowledged all the work that goes into

0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.880
<v Speaker 3>that trip, and there's so much discussion about going earlier,

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:50.880
<v Speaker 3>going later in the week.

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 2>But the other side of that, you know, for the most.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 3>Part, over the years, teams have generally had their buy

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 3>with some exceptions including you six years ago. What do

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 3>you do different only this week, if anything, to try

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 3>to get guys reactivated to be back in the Eastern time.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, that's a great question. I don't really

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 2>know that we have any definitive like science on that,

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>but we're going to just get back to business as usual.

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 2>We're going to try to get back on our schedule.

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I think coming this way is kind of a good thing.

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 2>You're used to getting up, you know, because you're ahead

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of time there. So we'll be back at it tomorrow

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>afternoon with our guys doing what we do. They're going

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>to get a chance to sleep all day to day.

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>If they want, they'll go to good Night's Rest tonight.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>They don't have to come until till twelve fifteen on Tuesday,

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll be pointed towards the Lions.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 3>There's been a lot of interest among your fans about

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 3>the adjection call on Kyle, you know, kind of wondering

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 3>what the standard is. I guess is that something that

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:45.679
<v Speaker 3>you've given more thought to, or is this something you

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 3>canna lost the league about? Kind of where are you

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 3>going to?

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:49.919
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I mean she certainly will ask the league

0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>about it, because you just want to understand what the

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>parameters are I think really based you generally, it was

0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 2>definitely a flaggable penalty, no doubt about that. It was

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 2>helmet the helmet. The one thing I do know is

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that Kyle certainly didn't intend to do that. He was

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>coming over trying to play the ball and their helmets hit,

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, so and it was forcible, so it should

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 2>have been flagged. Beyond that, it's really a judgment call,

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>whether the officials on the field make it or whether

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.959
<v Speaker 2>it goes back to New York, which is my understanding

0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 2>it did in that particular case. It's a judgment call

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 2>on their part and they make it and you just

0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 2>you just live with it. That's what it is. So

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>they'll explain it to us, I'm sure, and they had

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 2>their reasons for doing it, and that's the way it went,

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and we accept that.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't think to go back to December of twenty twenty,

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 3>you guys fast.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.680
<v Speaker 4>Basically cut too snow and now it's become a huge

0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 4>part of this defense.

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 3>How has he changed from that player to this point.

0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:44.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, it was kind of a numbers game at the time.

0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>We still liked him at the time, and then we

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.040
<v Speaker 2>brought him back right away, you know, and he came

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>available again. So I don't think it was ever a

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 2>thing that we didn't like Gino. But he's definitely a

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>developed into a heck of a player. You know, he's

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>grown so much bo since those days and he was

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>he was a good player then, but man, he's just

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 2>getting his opportunity. I think it's a good example of

0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>someone that you know, takes care of the details on

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 2>a day to day basis, comes to work every day,

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>does his best, you know, doesn't doesn't complain, doesn't get

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 2>all caught up in things. Why is this not happening

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>for me? Or that's not happening for me. Then when

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 2>his opportunity comes, he's prepared and he make the most

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 2>of it, you know, And that's something that you just

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.280
<v Speaker 2>it's just great to see and it's a good lesson

0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 2>I think for young people, you know, if they're going

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 2>to watch it. I want to be great at something.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to be a pro football player. Watch Geno

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Stone and what he's been doing with Gino.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Is it just about him having a patient and patients

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 3>and now his opportunity as them or does he does

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 3>something differently recently that's who you not step into the role.

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's a great question more than just patience. Patience, Yeah, sure,

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.480
<v Speaker 2>it's part of it because understanding that you don't determine

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 2>when the opportunity comes, but the fact that you do

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 2>determine what you do to be prepared for the opportunity

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>when it comes. And what he's done every single day,

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>which is work as hard as he can, be coachable

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 2>and be his best one day at a time. Then

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>when the chance came, he was ready for it.

0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 5>Have you got to send?

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 3>So Marcus Williams with a hamstring, if it's gonna be

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.080
<v Speaker 3>something that's gonna keep him out a little while. And

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:10.800
<v Speaker 3>and I guess just for him, I'm disappointing, you know,

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.680
<v Speaker 3>because he's already deal with the peg to work his

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 3>way back to.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.839
<v Speaker 2>That and dealing with this. Yeah, it's for Marcus, you know,

0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 2>it's challenging. It's kind of like it's how it goes sometimes.

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.359
<v Speaker 2>And it was he was trying to block on the

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 2>return the Gino's interception return and got kind of hit

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>sort of from behind it on the side, and that's

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 2>kind of made the hamstring string not a long term hamstring,

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.200
<v Speaker 2>But hamstrings are finicky. So it's not gonna be a

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. It might be. It's gonna be week

0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:37.119
<v Speaker 2>to week probably. I think he's gonna be real iffy

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>for this week and then after that we'll see where

0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:39.320
<v Speaker 2>it goes.

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 5>Regarding not of you talked about getting back to business usual.

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 5>What went into that decision originally to do not have

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 5>the byway after this.

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Intercon Yeah, well it's not our choice. I legal. The

0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 2>way it works is they'll call every team and say, hey,

0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>these are the options that you guys might be looking at.

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>You know, what would you prefer? Not we can't get

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.839
<v Speaker 2>guarantee anything, but what would you kind of rather prefer?

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Would you want in this case early buy or late by?

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>And so it's not really decision that we make so much.

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:12.479
<v Speaker 2>It's like, would you rather I'm not we didn't really

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>want to have a buye too early, but they gave

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>us the late bye. It was in an early game

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 2>in London, So it's just the way work. We liked

0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>the later by the early game in London is what

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>it is. We're playing the lines. It just turns out,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, arguably the best team in the NFC right

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 2>now playing great football, and so that's where we're at.

0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 3>You talked yesterday about how to be more efficient in

0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.359
<v Speaker 3>the red zone. Probably the quickest path to that is

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 3>to be more efficient in the running game.

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Especially on the power runs.

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 3>When you looked at the tip of the game, did

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 3>you see a pattern to why I think it didn't

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 3>work as well in the situations or I don't know, Yeah, I.

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Mean, I don't know if there's any one theme. It's

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 2>always little things here and there. But you know, we

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>were running into some big fronts there, you know what

0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, We try to spread them out. They didn't

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 2>cooperate quite as much in terms of spreading out, and

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>then we didn't. You know, they did a good job.

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>They're a very good front. I mean, they've got some

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.960
<v Speaker 2>very physical players. The whole game was like that. They

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 2>are a physical, tough run defense. We're going to see

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 2>as or more this week against Alliance. So we're gonna

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>have to do a great job of game planning all

0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 2>across the field, red zone, outside the red zone, run pass, run,

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.000
<v Speaker 2>pass options, play action, all that stuff is gonna have

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>to be really well organized, and we're gonna have to

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 2>be prepared because we're going against just as good a defense,

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>are better, So it's part of that. We've got to

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.080
<v Speaker 2>do a great job of game planning down there and

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>setting up the plays in a way that we can

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 2>try to find some advantage just for ourselves.

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 6>John the as much has been really consistent really all

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 6>here's one I think you seek too. Why you think

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.320
<v Speaker 6>that is as an hand spot of fact, they got

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:48.200
<v Speaker 6>to getting it from a lot of different people.

0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, probably, Cliff, It is probably because it's a lot

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>of different people. You know, we are we're getting a

0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 2>pass rush production from everybody. It was a lot of

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 2>times it was it was pressures early, which I think

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you'd mentioned a couple of times. Now it's pressures and sacks.

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 2>We're starting. The sacks are starting to fall in place,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.240
<v Speaker 2>and I think we've spent spoken about that in terms

0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 2>of they come in bunches sometimes, so we want to

0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 2>keep the sacks coming. They did a great job yesterday

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>morning in terms of finishing off those sacks. You know,

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 2>getting the quarterback on the ground is kind of the

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 2>last straw. And even when the quarterback broke out a

0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>couple times, whichever quarterback it was, Tannehill or Willis, our

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.400
<v Speaker 2>guys were able to chase him down. So that's what

0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>you want.

0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Have you been able to get any other updates on that,

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>any of the guys if you left the game, like.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Urban or Samoa, Yeah, Urban is uh had some stinger issues,

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 2>so they'll be looking at those today. Who else Seymour

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 2>and her like Seymour don't know too much more about. Uh,

0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.840
<v Speaker 2>it's not gonna be overly serious. I don't think Harrison

0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>Malik concussion protocol. He's clearing very quickly on.

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 3>That related to the age rushings and if you rest

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.119
<v Speaker 3>over when to apologize.

0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 2>But is there an update on Tyer Kaser?

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 4>Is his availability in or away?

0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 2>Always looking close a job will give you, gave you

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>some information, so I feel more free to kind of

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 2>comment on that. But he's decided on that he's going

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.839
<v Speaker 2>to get himself back from the high ankle sprain and

0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.040
<v Speaker 2>he had like a sprain knee, I would say, so

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 2>he's he's going to be in the neighborhood here in

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the next few weeks, Uh, Tias. I'm gonna let Tias

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 2>comment on that, you know. So that's that's gotten a

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>little more complicated over the last couple of weeks and

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>really not really liberty to talk about it right now.

0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.719
<v Speaker 2>But at some point in time, I'm sure we'll have

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 2>an announcement on that one way or another. He's got

0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to make some choices and decisions.

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.319
<v Speaker 3>Let's you talk a lot about guys, would maybe the

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 3>most of the opportunities.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Lately, just In that day one of those guys, Well,

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.760
<v Speaker 1>what do you see from him that it has allowed

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>to live now?

0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Kind of like Gino, you know, I just think Justin

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>is just very determined guy. And all he does is

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 2>come to work every day and work as hard as

0:09:55.760 --> 0:09:58.599
<v Speaker 2>he possibly can go along with this amazing amount of

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>talent that he has. His motor runs runs hot all

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the time. He just plays so hard, he's so physical

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and uh, you know, then all of a sudden boom,

0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>a few plays happened. You start to notice some more.

0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 2>But he's been playing like that all season. Is there

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 2>anything about the US he missed.

0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:15.040
<v Speaker 3>During your week?

0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>You, Jerry, I missed you? Where were you? You weren't there?

0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.040
<v Speaker 2>The King was asking about you. The food The food

0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>was good, I tell you. Sarah Snyder and our people

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:31.440
<v Speaker 2>did a great job with their people and they were

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:32.559
<v Speaker 2>they were It was great.

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 3>Challenge you like, I know, Keith Mitchell played special teams,

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 3>which what does it work him into the rotation with

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Gus and Justice Hill over.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>The next couple of weeks. Understandings and Muni still yeah,

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 2>absolutely absolutely, and he's he's going to be active now.

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Possibly he's got to earn it every week, sure, but

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.599
<v Speaker 2>he played well on special teams and he's done a

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.839
<v Speaker 2>good job in practice on offense the last two weeks.

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 2>So uh, I'm sure that Todd will be looking for

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to get him involved.

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.440
<v Speaker 7>Don't even been able to watch over the last all

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:05.240
<v Speaker 7>your travels, but did you see anything particular in the

0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 7>red zone situations that maybe the Titans did to uh there?

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh, yeah, watched it all obviously, some of it last

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 2>night on the plane we had a long flight, and

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 2>then and then some of it this morning. There are

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>no they didn't do anything different, if that's what you're asking.

0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.280
<v Speaker 2>They ran their defense and uh, and it's a good

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 2>it's a good red zone defense. Uh. We just didn't

0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.840
<v Speaker 2>get it done, you know. And I would I say,

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 2>coaches and players together. Uh, we've got to do a

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.599
<v Speaker 2>better job of game planning, a better job of executing,

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, and we can do it. I mean we've

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 2>you know, we've had great success in the red zone

0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and then we have had now we've kind of had

0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.079
<v Speaker 2>a drought here. So it's a long season. We're capable

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:48.959
<v Speaker 2>of being great in the red zone, and I'm sure

0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:50.560
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna have a lot of success going forward, but

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.240
<v Speaker 2>we've got to find it, we've got to make it happen.

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Now you're done in the whole experience, do you feel

0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 3>like get paid off to take a completely different approach

0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 3>to going to London?

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.560
<v Speaker 2>The semi did produce the.

0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Result that you want to produce.

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, wisdom is in the results, right, I mean,

0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.440
<v Speaker 2>that's part of it. But I also feel like, to

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>really answer your question is yeah, I think it helped us.

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it helped to be out there, to get acclimated,

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 2>to get the bodies right. I mean, he's I think

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.560
<v Speaker 2>people go to the Olympics, right, and the Olympics are

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>somewhere on the other side of the world. They don't

0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 2>go out there two days before the game. So I think,

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.319
<v Speaker 2>just looking back on it hindsight, it was the right

0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 2>thing to do. The next time we go, I think

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll probably do the same thing.

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 4>John, you haven't played at home game, I mean in

0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:34.719
<v Speaker 4>four weeks, and I mean it doesn't that longs to

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 4>be longer, and how much you're looking forward to not

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:38.880
<v Speaker 4>getting on a plane.

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.319
<v Speaker 2>For a game of the year. You know, it doesn't

0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>really feel anything as far as like it's a great

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>question because you just you just kind of take it

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 2>as it comes there. I know our guys are gonna

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 2>be excited to be at home, that's for sure. Our fans,

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 2>uh will be excited. I think for us to be

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 2>at home, they'll be in the stadium going crazy. I

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 2>know the Lions have been traveling really well. I think

0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 2>they've been filling up stadiums, so hopefully they don't fill

0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>up our stadium, you know, but it really doesn't matter.

0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 2>I mean, our our our fans are going to be loud,

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:07.839
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna be into it. They're gonna be enthusiastic,

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.559
<v Speaker 2>and uh, our guys are gonna be excited to play

0:13:10.600 --> 0:13:11.960
<v Speaker 2>in front of our fans. I can tell you that

0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you want to do a lot.

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:17.440
<v Speaker 4>Of teams that Walsh second teams in due to last

0:13:17.520 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 4>Mini cakes missing.

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:20.679
<v Speaker 2>How great is he to have.

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:23.480
<v Speaker 3>A Justin Tucker to full back on?

0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's nothing better in the kicking world than having

0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Justin Tucker as your kicker in American football. I can

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 2>tell you that it's the best thing. And he's the

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 2>best kicker, so yeah, we uh we do take him

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 2>for granted sometimes, uh, and he's not. You know, he'll

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 2>be the first to tell you he's not perfect, but

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:42.839
<v Speaker 2>he's close to it. So he had he had a

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:43.360
<v Speaker 2>great game.

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 4>At the end of the half, you're up it against

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.280
<v Speaker 4>the long field goal, and then of course they fall

0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.719
<v Speaker 4>hold in delhis com But what are the decisions to say,

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 4>We're not.

0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Going to talk around that one. Well, as far as

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.079
<v Speaker 2>the field goal, part of it was that it was

0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.079
<v Speaker 2>kind of a three prong decision. The field goal part

0:13:58.120 --> 0:13:59.679
<v Speaker 2>of it was it was too far. It was just

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:01.880
<v Speaker 2>too the turf wasn't that it was a little bit

0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:06.040
<v Speaker 2>looser turf footing. Chances of making that were really really nil,

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean honestly. So the next thought would have been

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>run the clock down to a certain number, which is

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 2>where about where it was, and go for it on

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>fourth down. The idea being we can complete a pass,

0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:18.679
<v Speaker 2>but we gotta we got to get you know, we

0:14:18.720 --> 0:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>got to get out of bounds, get the time. I

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 2>don't think we do. We have a timeout, I can't remember.

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:25.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we did. So you're basically going for

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.760
<v Speaker 2>like a free play. You get a pass interference, you

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>catch the ball and run out of bounds.

0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 2>We talked about that. That would have been the aggressive play.

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I decided against that just because I felt like, okay,

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.200
<v Speaker 2>but if it doesn't work and you don't convert, now

0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>they have the same opportunity going the other way. They

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 2>get a pass, you get a pass in afferance, or

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 2>they complete went out of bounds, and now they kicked

0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 2>the field goal. And I just wasn't willing to risk that,

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 2>you know the fact that as well as we'd played,

0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:51.720
<v Speaker 2>we hadn't put as many points up as we were

0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 2>capable of putting up. And I didn't want to give

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>them a free opportunity at three points. So I made

0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>a conservative decision to do it. And then it worked out,

0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, agressively for us, because our punt team did

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:05.960
<v Speaker 2>such a great job. I mean great punt, a great punt,

0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:09.120
<v Speaker 2>and a great coverage and then del Sean getting his

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.720
<v Speaker 2>first ever Fumbel recovery. It's set up three points.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 5>John talked a lot about this week two week league.

0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 5>Here he saw that this specifically undefeated forty nine ers

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.880
<v Speaker 5>lose to the rounds the back of the quarterback and

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:28.440
<v Speaker 5>see the Eagles lose him against a quote unquote inferior pumpy.

0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 5>Can you just talk about how hard it is to

0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.680
<v Speaker 5>win in this league and how on you have to

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.480
<v Speaker 5>be as a staff and as players.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, you just said it. I mean, I think what

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 2>you said is exactly right, because the margin is not

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>as great as it appears, or as great as it

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of the media naturally, we all portray it because

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 2>of outcomes. The margin is very thin in this league.

0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 2>It's razor thin. Everybody is right around five hundred or

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 2>just above five hundred, just below five hundred in terms

0:15:58.000 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of talent ability and coaching and all that other kinds

0:15:59.920 --> 0:16:03.400
<v Speaker 2>of stuff. So the difference is week to week. It's

0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:07.520
<v Speaker 2>your ability to you know, persist overcome, come up with

0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 2>a good game plan, execute the game plan, and then

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 2>really make plays, make plays that win games and critical situations.

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:14.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's who ends up ends up winning the game.

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>So you know, great players make great plays. So you

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>see quarterbacks and things like that, Guys like Lamar and

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Holmes and those guys can make the difference in games.

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I to look at Houston. We talked

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:26.880
<v Speaker 2>about them. I think everybody's saying, well, they didn't think

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Houston was a great team after we beat them in

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the opener, and I think I said, wats They're gonna

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 2>win a bunch of games this year. Right because you

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>watched them and you knew they were going to be

0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>a good team. So that's the greatness of the NFL,

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 2>I think.
