WEBVTT - Monken, Orr, & Horton: Ravens Training Camp 8/13/24 Press Conference 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.160 Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Tuesday, 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.639 August thirteenth. The Ravens wrapped up another day of training 0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.640 camp practice today and afterwards we had a chance to 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.440 hear from the coordinator. Let's kick things off with offensive 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.480 coordinator at Todd munkt. 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.640 Yeah, I've bet the seven gallop Teddy and Henry. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:32.400 I mean, it's kind of a kind of a obvious question. 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:40.199 I mean, yeah, Week one. 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.040 Looked like a lot of deep shots satan days. 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.040 That was that a focus in practice to kind of 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:42.559 let it rip? 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:45.800 That just work out today. I mean, we've been trying 0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.800 to keep working, you know, somewhere downfield. Pass game just 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.000 worked out today where the ball found its way down 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:51.400 the field. 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:55.800 Tod with regard to the game, it looked like Devin 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.680 Leary was really not taking shots. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:00.400 Down the field. I'm not sure if they try open, 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.400 they certainly didn't take many of the were they were 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:03.800 far down the field up and we went to walk 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:05.440 over where they were at the same page. 0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:07.160 What do you do with that? 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.520 Well, we just never got really in a rhythm, you know. 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.600 I mean he got in the game and we went 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.759 straight three and outs. I mean, so that means three 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.360 of his nine plays were third downs. Okay, throw in 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.759 half of them are runs or somewhere in there. And 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.600 we got sacked on a shot down the field. So 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.080 you know, it's part of it. You know, it's easier 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.440 to get the ball down the field, the better you 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.400 get in a rhythm. You know, that's just part of it. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.000 We just didn't, you know, and that's we got to 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:34.399 be better. 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.360 When you have a franchise quarterback and so much of 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.640 the focus is on him, what do you then see 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.240 as the most important functions of. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:42.840 Your background life. 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.720 Well, first off, I mean, Josh does a tremendous job 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.280 of being ready, consummate pro it twice been in the 0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.800 NFL for so long. I mean, he's he gets what 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.160 we want to do. He has a great feel for 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.280 where we are and where we need to get to. 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.040 I think he's a great sounding board for Lamar and 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:04.480 for us. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.480 Come don you're you're one to year two of Demon. 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.359 It's curious about at Dynamic ten years and thirty that 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.720 sperience working at a three off for the first three. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.320 Or second year. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.040 How much change is throwing stuff out? You got it 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:22.760 stuff in Dynamic in two guys, back to. 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.040 Two in terms of those plays and so well, you 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.880 would hope it's only going to get better, and it has. 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.280 You know, we've had a great off season, not only 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:36.639 individually but systematically. Once you get into the year, it's 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.440 hard to really tweak too much, you know, or assess 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.960 it just week to week the next team you're playing. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:45.880 Give him the off seat and the able to say, Okay, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.800 we have to do this more after do this more, 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.360 need to be better here, need to do this systematically 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.679 and individually, And it's been a great off season and 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:54.320 he's been great. 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.560 He's systematically there's something in particularly like an example, need 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.400 the guy that's the terms that change. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.320 Oh, I don't know just how we do it, just 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.400 just so we are on the same page. Probably how 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:08.799 do we streamline it to where we're all on the 0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:16.239 same page. Players can anticipate calls, anticipate situations where we 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.840 want to go abc D each week. What are our 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:22.160 staples that we want to be able to get to 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.360 and so eliminate as much of the guest work as 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.799 you can, Right, does that make sense? Like that's just 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.079 probably a strong word we don't have. We're not guessing 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.880 that's silly, but just in terms of where we want 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:33.040 to go. 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.000 Say I like virging guard and take his number of 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.120 the first team reps now over a few days, what 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.440 do you see from them and season against the story industry. 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:45.720 Well, he's only getting better, you know, there was you know, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:47.800 like any young player, there's some ups and downs, but 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.800 it isn't for a lack of effort, intelligence, want to 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.840 you know, toughness, athleticism. I think you're gonna be a 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:56.720 really good player, you know, and you can see it 0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:00.280 every day. The improvement I feel likely has missed where 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:03.000 so warm camp and he's coming off a really strong season. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:04.960 What do you envision for his whole of this kind 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:05.280 of stame. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.680 Yes, he's had a great camp, a great off season. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:12.920 He was here the whole off season and he's embraced 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.120 that part of it. You've actually seen some other things 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:18.800 in his game, particularly in line that we've asked him 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.040 to do. So we expect him to have a great year. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:26.080 Last year. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:38.400 Well, I mean it's I think like certainly you you 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.279 want to have an offense as a nightmare to defend. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.360 I mean, I think that's what we're all trying to accomplish, right, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.000 an offense that you're capable of winning in a variety 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:48.760 of ways. If you need to run it to win, 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:50.000 you can run it to win. If you need to 0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:51.480 throw it to win, you can throw it to win. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.480 And uh, that's all we're fighting for, to be elite 0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:56.880 in all of those areas. And then the last part 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.960 of it is are you leading situational football? Short yardage, 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.000 red zone? Are you not turning it over your explosive 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.679 foreman and all those things that really really dictate a game. 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:11.240 When there are always eyes on the lot pers or 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.960 second letter. You guys just kind of juice up the 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:17.720 number of screenplays last year? How how do you be 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:18.760 successful in business? 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:19.200 Screen team? 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:20.400 And you can always do name. 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.320 Adadation, especially you know kind of pie with. 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:24.320 These little sc. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.000 He's got to do it better. 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:28.080 I mean, we can scheme it. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.240 Better, we can. 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.160 Prepare better in terms of how we want to do 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.720 it formationlet who we want to get it to and 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.280 then call it. Probably just didn't call it enough and 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.040 didn't screen enough last year, didn't take the pressure off 0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:44.760 our old line enough. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.120 What have you seen out of Keith Kirkwood and Anthony 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.600 Miller two the kind of veterans that are. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:50.680 Further down on the depturnal. 0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:52.400 I like those guys, you know. 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:55.200 I mean, all Kirkwood has done is coming and do 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.320 what we ask him to do, does a great job 0:05:57.400 --> 0:06:00.360 in the run game, has made some plays when given 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.400 the opportunity on the field, and you can see why 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.760 he's however, many years in the NFL. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:06.680 Same with Miller. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:10.159 You can see his explosiveness. You can see him getting 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.360 in out of breaks, how important the game is. He 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.360 enjoys playing the game. 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.280 Next up is defensive coordinator zach Or. 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:26.080 Talk so much about the other man, about the green 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.880 dot and how not only were you giving him the 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.839 plays and instruction, where hyping on on the personal Lane's 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.000 the what's the balance as a coordinators there coming from 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:35.680 the French position? 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:35.960 Job? 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.880 Where jobs the hip up those guys? Then how does 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:40.560 that change the here places? 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:42.599 Yeah, I mean I think first and foremost, Trent did 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.480 a great job with the green dot. I mean it 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.520 was his first time with it. He hasn't really actually 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.280 done it in practice, So I was I was very 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:49.839 very pleased with how well. 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.000 He was able to get the call communicated to the defense. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.320 And then as far as that goes, my personality is 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:56.920 gonna show like I'm me so they got a couple 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.560 of long drives and as they get going, I was like, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.800 come on, let's pick up, let's keep it going. Uh, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.920 let's get these guys off the field. So it was 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:04.640 good that he felt that energy and he related to 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.719 everybody else. But the balance is obviously first and foremost. 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:09.720 I get him the call, but i'm'a i'm'a let my 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:10.840 personality show as well. 0:07:11.160 --> 0:07:12.480 What's the big there is. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:17.160 What you've seen him correctly yours grow to being a 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:18.720 living about Yeah. 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.400 Just just his his his understanding of the game, like 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.320 his understanding the game. Like I said, it's always when 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.440 you're a rookie. The NFL game is so much different 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.200 than the college game. So it took a good year 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.560 to understand it. He has a real good understanding of it. 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.440 And the great thing I'm excited about him is he 0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.800 got a long way to go as far as what 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:38.000 he's gonna be. He's already really good and he's gonna 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.080 be even better the more the older he gets. 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:46.640 The more experience he gets. Well, Uh, we didn't get 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.000 any substitutional errors, so I think that was good. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.160 But I thought, I thought after he went smooth without 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:52.960 the operation was smooth the coaches did a great job. 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.480 Give me the personnel, Uh, give me good feedback. The 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.160 communication was smooth between me and the person with the 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:00.200 green dots. So I think it went good. And like 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.280 I said, uh, we get great work at it every 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.680 single day, like today, we had a couple of call 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:04.240 up periods. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:04.760 Uh. 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.000 So I felt real comfortable. I was real pleased that 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.320 the operation went smooth throughout. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:09.480 The whole game. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:13.679 You learned something. 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.720 I could say, Uh not really honestly, wasn't really different man, Like, 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.120 like it's crazy, I'm telling you. Coach Harball put a 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.840 lot of stress on us, like with the play close. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:27.440 You see, we got play cloths going all the time, 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:28.960 so you got your forced to make a call and 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:31.520 then just going against our offense. They do tempo a lot, 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.160 so you're forced to think on the fly and make 0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:36.880 quick decisions. So it actually felt pretty natural. It felt 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.760 more natural than what I thought it was gonna feel 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:40.160 because I didn't know, I didn't know what to expect. 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.520 A lot of those think that they sack was like 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.400 a pretty puts with you. Some ordinariors might think things 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.240 a little bit of smilla. How did you kind of 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.600 decide how to tell those a tweet try and stuff 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:53.880 out and Alsodden shoving TI. 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.839 Yeah, I think we done something that that That blitz 0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.520 right there is something that we've run for a long 0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:00.640 time here. You know, we might have it out the vault, 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.920 but it's something that we've done for a long time here. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.959 So obviously it's a preseason I think the benefit that 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.640 we have is we got the element of surprise, so 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:09.439 we're not gonna show much at all, you know, so 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.520 what you see in the preseasons is not really what 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.439 you're necessarily gonna see during the regular season. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.360 Exact, you've got a chance to watch the film. 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.920 Obviously one of the things to sit out very efficient 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.640 offense from the egles and stems of unfortunately being able 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.680 to brind down first Now put on the other side, 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.520 Ravens really stopped the wrong places after having a chance 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.680 to see it. What were the big factors in stopping 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:28.360 the wrong plays? 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.199 I mean, just guys communicating. You know, a lot of 0:09:31.240 --> 0:09:34.000 times exposed to plays happen for miscommunication. Somebody didn't get 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.359 the call, somebody didn't get the right covered, so it's miscommunication. 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.679 Now guys popping loose. So I thought a communication was 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:40.720 really well and. 0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:41.840 We got to keep that going. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.199 So the more the more plays, the more supposed to 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:46.200 plays you limit, the better you're gonna play on defense. Now, 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:47.960 obviously we got some stuff we want to clean up 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:49.640 in the run game. I think it's a good tape 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.240 to watch. Stuff was moving a little fast. First game 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.160 experience for us as a unit. But I think it's 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.240 I think it's gonna go well. I think it's gonna 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:57.839 get better and better. 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.679 Date, Wiggins had a great game preseason debut. Obviously going 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.000 out later on, but earlier in his debut had a 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.080 bunch of pass breakouts. Is that what you were expecting 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.439 out of him to come out in the field and 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:09.480 be that fast and make that many plays or were 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:11.400 you even a little bit surprised by how active he 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.120 was around the world. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.439 Nah, that's what we expect, man. 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.079 I mean we've seen that his college tape, We've seen 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.920 it out here throughout training camp. Now, I was a 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.599 little surprised they went after him early so often. But 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:23.760 one thing that you recognized we're early in pregame that 0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:26.719 like when the lights came on, he was ready, and 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.280 that's that's one thing you want to see. So his 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.640 confidence was through the roof even before the game started. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.480 So it was great to see Nate go out there 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:35.360 and make those plays. Those are players that we expect 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:36.800 him to make, but it's it's good when you see 0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:37.440 him go out there. 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.200 And do it. And I think that that's just real 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.200 good for his confidence. 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:45.360 Trucksmissed yesterday, always snashed short the seeding for some of 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.400 the snash with the clowny, I mean going missing games. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.520 You see him playing more snaps this season, awesome. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.040 Yeah, I mean, I think the disguise a limit for 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.559 a DAFAE man like Doph has had a great training camp. 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.320 It's the best training camp I've seen him have since 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:03.400 we've been together. And uh, I do agree. Like stats 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:04.880 are one thing, but when you cut on the film 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:08.800 see you know QB pressures or just causing havoit him 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.880 drawing a double team, getting pressure for somebody else or 0:11:10.920 --> 0:11:13.160 sack for somebody else, we count that as stats. As 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.800 coaching staff that might not might not necessarily show up 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:16.280 as a. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.600 Stat in the stat sheet. 0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:19.959 Uh yeah, we do expect Off to play even more 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.720 and be even more disruptive and more explosive, and uh 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.319 stat to go up because he is what he is 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.959 he's the guy, you know what I mean, He's the guy. 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.439 And like I said earlier, the better uh D f 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.319 Oway is, the better the defense and the better his 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:31.959 team's gonna be. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.120 And I'm excited about this dude. He comes. 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:37.199 He comes every single day, locked in, focused, ready to work, 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:39.600 and that's that's great to see. Like I mean, I'm 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:41.880 really excited to see him when we get out there 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.000 and really get going because he's got a different level 0:11:44.000 --> 0:11:45.199 of intensity exactly. 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:47.920 Extremely pretty up for you. 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.000 Do you think that's because you were already as an 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.320 assistant then as the player. 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.800 I'm thinking about all of the fans, thinking about the 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:58.120 whole field and had you doing nothing reps for the. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.160 Job for years or yeah, I mean, you definitely do 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.480 mental reps as a position coach, because that's one things 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.319 we precher. You gott to prepare yourself for that, for 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:09.040 the for the next opportunity, because you never know what's 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:09.480 gonna happen. 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.000 But I think more the preparation came from being. 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.640 Out here in practicing camp, Like these call up peers 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:18.520 that we do are invaluable here at practice man, So 0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.600 like I said, it made that transition smooth. I think 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.040 the practices and the scrimmage that we did a couple 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:24.719 of weeks ago really helped me out. 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:30.000 Kind of has a little scare and practice. Everybody's holding 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.800 your breath. This is one day he's back out here, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:34.439 back to balls. 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:34.520 And going on. 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.560 Man, we was holding our breath. We was fortunate, thanking 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:38.920 the Lord that it wasn't none serious. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:39.880 It was some minor And. 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.920 That's just a testament to Kyle Halmlton like his toughness, 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.720 has wanted his willing, willingness to be there for his teammates, 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:46.679 his leadership. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:48.360 And then I mean he's a heck of a player. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.200 So you guys saw that play he made to day. 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:51.360 I mean that was ridiculous. 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.520 I'll be hard pressed to find somebody else in the 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:54.599 lead that could make a play like that. 0:12:54.880 --> 0:12:56.160 Now, we wish you to caught the ball. You know, 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:58.439 he'll tell you that too, But it was a heck 0:12:58.480 --> 0:12:59.120 of a play. Man. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.240 But call him to like we always been saying, he's 0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.040 one of one. We're glad he's part of our team. 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.400 There's a bunch you actually preparing the team for a preseason, kay, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:08.720 Do you actually stating team? 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.800 You guys play off with the offense prepense? 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:14.840 Yeah, we we we're gonna run our basic menu. Now, 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:16.720 we'll show them a couple of plays, and we'll show them. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.400 We'll tell them to watch a game just so they 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:19.760 get a feel for the guy. We don't want them 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.920 to go in there blindsided. So you have idea of 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.520 what plays they're possibly. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:23.600 Going to run. 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.000 But it's no game plan deal where we're trying to 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.480 a specifically stop this place and call this coverage or 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:32.560 call this front, or call this blitz. We just gonna 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.160 run our stuff because we really want to see these 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.560 guys come out here and just execute and see how 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.240 well they can play. 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:38.920 We don't want to really try to trick anybody here. 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.040 In the preseason trend. 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:46.680 It's been sending nickel pressure, what about that play? 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.000 Maybe just for your team out just growth from the 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.560 league wide is so successful about it when operated with. 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.360 The talent that you have here, man, I just think 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.600 that is just it all. It all goes hand in hand. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:02.400 It's just like eleven play working in one, working as one, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.520 so you present different looks, you can you can get 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:08.000 protections to go certain ways, and then you get guys 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.160 who could time up the blitz and can blit fast. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.720 So we tell our guys all the time. If if 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:14.520 we're gonna send you on the blitz, you better hit 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.079 it like your life depends on it, because it does. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.120 And we got a lot of guys who do that. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.120 Just comes in and make up love brought in. What 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:26.000 do you see him in broad camp? Bo Brad been 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:26.480 great man. 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.480 I mean, he's a he's a locked in young guy. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.600 Especially I love to see that as a udf ah. 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.920 We knew its talented coming from Maryland, and all he's 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:34.240 done is come in to work. I know he had 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.560 the injury in the spring, but ever since he's been back, 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.440 he's continued to get better and better and better. And 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:41.080 I'm really excited about him. I'm excited. I'm decided about 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:42.920 him in the game. I'm excited about see what he's 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:43.800 gonna do this week as well. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.360 How much it's work clos. 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:49.960 I guess this John howaen coming off the leaves today, 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:51.120 especially weird. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:51.920 When he wasn't the story of camp. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.240 I guess how does it kind of reject your expectations 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:54.840 for what it can be? 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:55.600 Great man. 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:56.640 I'm excited about David A. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.880 Jobo just from the standpoint of he's he's finally healthy 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.160 enough to stat days of practice, and I think you 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:04.960 see that from when he first started practicing to now, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.880 just he's getting better and better and better. 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.280 And we know what type of talent he is. 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:11.880 He's strong, he's big, he's athletic, he's uh, he's fast, 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:13.120 he's mean. 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.080 Everything we look for in the outside linebackers and all 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:16.920 it all, it all it. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:18.840 All he needed to do was just get the reps, 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.800 and he's getting these great reps out here. So I'm 0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:23.120 really excited about him. He continue on the path he's going. 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.680 He stays locked in, he keeps working like he's working 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.720 and God willing, he stays healthy. He's gonna have a 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:29.400 great year for us. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.480 Two guys and unquote lean him over that snaps Joe 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:35.400 Evans and c J. 0:15:35.600 --> 0:15:36.040 Ravend Allen. 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:40.080 This is a tact I think, Yeah, Joe, that's part 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:40.720 of the preseason. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.520 Man. Sometimes you're gonna ask guys to play positions that 0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:45.480 they normally don't play or play a lot of snaps. 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.280 And I'm so proud of Joe and CJ. Obviously, CJ 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:50.360 he played out of position. He played outside linebacker the 0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:52.440 whole game for us. He's an interior D lineman, and 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:53.480 he did a hell of a job. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:54.320 Same with Joe. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:56.280 Joe played I think sixty eight snaps out of the 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.000 however had seventy eight or something like that. He didn't 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.160 batter eye. And that's type of guys we like. Man, 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.280 those guys play like a raven and that's what we 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:04.800 look for. Guys who can go out there, do the 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.360 dirty work, do what's asked of them, and give it all. 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.760 They give it everything they got. That's what those two 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.000 guys did that. So I'm excited about him. I know 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.440 the Vets are excited about him, and what they did 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:16.400
