Speaker 1: You're listening to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Sunday,
Speaker 1: November third, and the Ravens took down the Denver Broncos
Speaker 1: forty one to ten. After the game, we heard from
Speaker 1: the coaches and the players. So let's kick it off
Speaker 1: with coach Harball.
Speaker 2: Okay, great to see everybody. Appreciate you being here. Really
Speaker 2: important mid season game at home. Crowd was into it.
Speaker 2: We appreciate that. Love our crowd, love our fans. Guys
Speaker 2: got ready to play and played our best complete game
Speaker 2: of the season so far, I would say as a team,
Speaker 2: and I'm proud of the guys for that. Guys like
Speaker 2: Derek Henry Lamar Jackson. Our defense stepped up and played
Speaker 2: really well. We had the situation at the end of
Speaker 2: the at the end after the first drive we got
Speaker 2: the turnover, got backed up with a sack punting him
Speaker 2: down to the two yard linet ended up getting the
Speaker 2: stop and ended up scoring seven straight times after that.
Speaker 2: So really proud of the guys for the way they played.
Speaker 2: We have turned our attention already at Cincinnati, talking about
Speaker 2: in the locker room already. We're playing Thursday night. We're
Speaker 2: gonna have to be at our best in that game. Okay,
Speaker 2: what question? Do you have another.
Speaker 3: Perfect passer rating day for for Lamar? I'm guessing as
Speaker 3: many rest days as he wants now go for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Lamar played really good. He uh fourth. I think
Speaker 2: it's his fourth perfect passer rating and I think that's
Speaker 2: an NFL record. Is it tied for the NFL record? Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm betting on Lamar at some point to break it.
Speaker 2: But I thought he played great. But also the team
Speaker 2: around him, I mean the pass protects. That's a really
Speaker 2: good pass rush team of real aggressive defense, a really
Speaker 2: highly ranked defense. Our offense came to play as a group.
Speaker 3: How is he able to do that when like one practice?
Speaker 2: Lamar? He I think we talked about preparing all week,
Speaker 2: you know, and he did a great job with it.
Speaker 4: Mom with me, what do you make of man?
Speaker 2: I'd like to be Lamar right now. That would be amazing.
Speaker 2: I always I always joke with the guys. I got
Speaker 2: joke of Lamar. Man, what's it like to be able
Speaker 2: to throw a ball like that?
Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 2: If I throw a ball like that would be the
Speaker 2: greatest lead to or I say to guys, what's it
Speaker 2: like to be six foot six three? Hundred and forty
Speaker 2: pounds of just you know, massive humanity knocking people off
Speaker 2: the ball. I would love to be able to do that.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine being that big and walking in the bar?
Speaker 2: Can you imagine what that'd be like?
Speaker 4: I would.
Speaker 2: I'd love to be Zay Flowers. Can you imagine you're
Speaker 2: a catch and run like that?
Speaker 4: Be that quick?
Speaker 2: I can't even imagine what that's like. What's your question?
Speaker 5: It was really about Zay just his ability. You are
Speaker 5: always seen his ability after the catch, what he can
Speaker 5: do with the ball in his hands.
Speaker 3: But today, yeah, obviously.
Speaker 2: Look like well that play at the end was end
Speaker 2: of the half. I mean that play was unbelievable play.
Speaker 2: I mean to throw on the protection, to throw the
Speaker 2: catch in a little stop and stuttern. Sometimes I'll admit
Speaker 2: I'm telling him just go just get up field as
Speaker 2: me as you can, you know, but he's thinking of
Speaker 2: he's thinking about scoring every time. So that was just
Speaker 2: a phenomenal football play.
Speaker 6: John.
Speaker 7: I know you guys have been really good running the
Speaker 7: football for years now, But how does Derek in his
Speaker 7: ability to kind of close games of how you type
Speaker 7: manager the offense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a big thing. I mean, we have
Speaker 2: been really good to running the ball for a long time.
Speaker 2: But he is different. I mean, Derrick Henry is different.
Speaker 2: You know, he's adding a dimension that we have not
Speaker 2: had before. I don't know, you go back to Jamal
Speaker 2: Lewis maybe you know, maybe this is this is different,
Speaker 2: you know, and I'm excited about it. But you know what,
Speaker 2: so I acknowledge that we say that if I can
Speaker 2: tell you he's sitting right here in the room. What
Speaker 2: he talked about to the team was Thursday night. We
Speaker 2: talked about Thursday Night's get ready to go Thursday night.
Speaker 2: His defense has kind of taken some hits over the
Speaker 2: season publicly, but today they several times Denver got down inside.
Speaker 8: Like ten fifteen yard line and could not score.
Speaker 2: What did you see that stood out on the defensive
Speaker 2: played today. I thought the red zone defense was amazing.
Speaker 2: I thought they did a great job in coverage. I
Speaker 2: thought our coverage did a great job the whole game.
Speaker 2: He got you know, he's a really dangerous quarterback because
Speaker 2: you all saw him. He's really hard to get down
Speaker 2: in the pocket. He was running around doing some things.
Speaker 2: And I thought our pass rush did a really nice job,
Speaker 2: especially in the red zone of not letting them run
Speaker 2: out of there and score scrambling. So yeah, kudos to
Speaker 2: the defense, Kudos to that, kudos to all the coaches
Speaker 2: and the players. But you know what, Thursday night is
Speaker 2: right around the corner.
Speaker 7: John, you mentioned help productive Denver has been as a
Speaker 7: pass rush team. Did you feel like this was a
Speaker 7: game where your offensive line kind of really found its
Speaker 7: footing again after a topper week last week.
Speaker 2: I thought our offensive line really played well in this game, run,
Speaker 2: run blocking, and pass protection. It's a very good pass
Speaker 2: rushing group across the board. There was a challenge with
Speaker 2: the twists and the games and the picks that our
Speaker 2: interior guys had to handle, and the speed rush outside guys,
Speaker 2: our tackles did a good job. Yeah, I thought they
Speaker 2: did a really good job.
Speaker 3: John, The D line and K was banged up all
Speaker 3: weeks and the guys missed practice. You got two games
Speaker 3: in five days.
Speaker 8: How do you feel like they held up to that?
Speaker 2: They held up great. I mean, you know, obviously Medabeeks,
Speaker 2: you know, he just he led the group, He led
Speaker 2: the charge. But then you had, you know, two guys
Speaker 2: up off the practice called Chris Wromley and Josh DePaul.
Speaker 2: Those two guys, man, they stepped it up, and we
Speaker 2: we've always thought those were quality players, you know, really
Speaker 2: good football players. So you know, hats off to those
Speaker 2: guys as well. Broader Washington played very well, also, proud
Speaker 2: of those guys.
Speaker 6: Only had three rushing with them. So I think was
Speaker 6: this a game where intentionally.
Speaker 2: The limit for whatever reasons, you know, we leave that.
Speaker 2: I personally leave it more to Lamar. I mean, Lamar
Speaker 2: knows what he's got to do and he makes great choices.
Speaker 2: But he was standing in there and just throwing it.
Speaker 2: I remember, I think I mentioned that one of the
Speaker 2: guys on the phone after second or third series, Lamar's
Speaker 2: on fire. He's on fire throwing the ball. He just
Speaker 2: uh he he had a great game.
Speaker 9: More for drump we saw the dB staying after this
Speaker 9: week just to practice the d the DB's practice to
Speaker 9: just practice instead of around How key was it for
Speaker 9: Ardarius Washington to get that interception to open the game, especially.
Speaker 10: After week they had.
Speaker 2: Timing is everything in life, right, I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: all the all the challenges we had catching them all
Speaker 2: the week before and other times in the season. Uh,
Speaker 2: to come out in the first series and catch one.
Speaker 2: That was that was pretty cool, you know. Uh uh,
Speaker 2: the Good Lord had her back. I said, I saw
Speaker 2: this before. Let him that glory, glory and God alone,
Speaker 2: I was. I was glorying God right there. I was
Speaker 2: glorying in God right there. I was thanking him for
Speaker 2: that pick, you know, for the fact that we caught
Speaker 2: that thing. So that was. That was a good start, John.
Speaker 7: A really good, big performance for a pair second year
Speaker 7: defensive guys. And and Tavius and trenton just sweek. How
Speaker 7: important is it for them to develop, for you guys
Speaker 7: to accomplish your goals you want as a defense?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, a big part of us. Some of those
Speaker 2: two guys are huge. Trent had some really good coverage
Speaker 2: plays and of course in the run defense. And then
Speaker 2: Tavius had two sacks, I mean two big sacks. The
Speaker 2: one big one in the second half was massive.
Speaker 11: All right.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 10: Next up is quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 3: So so, Lamar one day of practice and a perfect passerway,
Speaker 3: how how is that possible?
Speaker 12: Then?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 13: Just I knew what the assignment was, you know, I
Speaker 13: definitely studied those guys getting on coach t and just
Speaker 13: putting an extrat just because I was not there, just
Speaker 13: watching practice and studying family on those guys that pretty
Speaker 13: much help. And God, you know, God, my Lord said
Speaker 13: with Jesus Christ, that's why we having so much success.
Speaker 13: That's the one uh that's leading us, you know throughout
Speaker 13: these games and weekend week out.
Speaker 9: The why you mentioned uh t Martin, you stow him
Speaker 9: showing you a lot of love after the game on
Speaker 9: the big screen, like.
Speaker 6: How coens he helped take your game to.
Speaker 5: The nest level.
Speaker 13: Man, Just great coaching. You know, that's a guy who's
Speaker 13: been in the league and you know, had a I
Speaker 13: for for the game and I just pick it back
Speaker 13: off of 'em. You know, things that he see out
Speaker 13: what well he see during film s film sessions, and
Speaker 13: we just talking amongst each other, him and Josh's well
Speaker 13: and Devin. You know, just our our QB room is
Speaker 13: so dynamic, just picking each other's brain man, from what
Speaker 13: we seeing out there on that field. That's helping helping us.
Speaker 5: Or you speak a little to just the connection you
Speaker 5: and Zay half the day, the two touchdowns for him
Speaker 5: and obviously the one before the half was was a
Speaker 5: different level type of play.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I just believe it's just not say like all
Speaker 13: our receivers, all my receivers, I have chemistry with all
Speaker 13: those guys. It it's really the games we w we entering,
Speaker 13: you know. Uh, it's a pickey poison offense. So based
Speaker 13: on what the defense given me, certain guys might have
Speaker 13: a day, you know, cause like a couple of weeks
Speaker 13: ago it was Bait having the night, and you know,
Speaker 13: a couple of weeks later it's say so it It's
Speaker 13: really it's really based on the defense of for how
Speaker 13: how they feeling, you know, who, who's this offense tilting
Speaker 13: towards you know what? All the great guys we have.
Speaker 13: It can be the tight ends. One game might just
Speaker 13: be the running backs. One game you really never know or.
Speaker 14: What did you just say ever talked to you or
Speaker 14: you were talking about these movie teammates.
Speaker 15: M Juice.
Speaker 4: Coming.
Speaker 13: Uh, that's just him. You know, God blessed him with
Speaker 13: the ability to make guys miss. You know, it's always
Speaker 13: been him, you know, going back to Brown conn of
Speaker 13: backing youth football, it's always he's always been that player,
Speaker 13: you know, and him catching a uh post pattern and
Speaker 13: making guys mess and getting xyrs for a touchdown.
Speaker 3: That's just him playing ball.
Speaker 7: Cole Bridge.
Speaker 8: I'm sorry saying with him.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's for Presidian Bridge, Okase what I Asasuple Rushes,
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna go into the stats cause we like
Speaker 4: much more skills.
Speaker 9: And things like a passion for the game.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 11: How does it feel to understand that you motivate a
Speaker 11: lot of young guys down in Brazil such a part place.
Speaker 3: Brazil with your with your passion and your skills. Man,
Speaker 3: that's dope.
Speaker 13: Uh, that's dope. Oh man, that's just it's a blessing
Speaker 13: man from for people in Brazil to know who I am.
Speaker 14: That's that's just dope.
Speaker 1: Oh ya, that's crazy.
Speaker 4: I gotta go to Brazil one time.
Speaker 3: I gotta travel at.
Speaker 16: Brazil once.
Speaker 8: To the the touchdown to day for the half and
Speaker 8: can you just walk us through what what you saw
Speaker 8: that upon the play and then sort of just your
Speaker 8: view of that that move and what you saw.
Speaker 13: Yeah, it looked like they was playing quarters to me
Speaker 13: and the safety poachs backside, twenty six poachs backside. So
Speaker 13: I just had to beat him. Lift the ball over
Speaker 13: the line back of fifty five. I don't know his name, sorry,
Speaker 13: but uh, lift the ball over him and just let Uh,
Speaker 13: they do the rest and that's pretty much what he did.
Speaker 8: What was you just your view pointed that moved when
Speaker 8: you saw big back kept back.
Speaker 13: Okay, So I'm like, yeah, he probably about to get
Speaker 13: tackled by twenty nine. But then he stell farm still
Speaker 13: farmed off a block. I wanna say, Bait, I wanna
Speaker 13: say Bait. I don't know whoever it was right there,
Speaker 13: he still farmed in twenty nine, looked like he was
Speaker 13: about to make the tackle. He ran into his guard
Speaker 13: and say he did the rest and Bait he helped
Speaker 13: out too. Bait came back for that block. So that
Speaker 13: was that was just dope for our receivers.
Speaker 6: And Ada Mark Uh but troupery cards being part of.
Speaker 3: The uh your off beleag part of the office.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he huge fun after were you in to see
Speaker 6: number forty doing that?
Speaker 13: So I was happy as hell for him to score
Speaker 13: like my fault dag Uh.
Speaker 2: I was happy.
Speaker 13: I was excited for uh Pat you know he he's
Speaker 13: been looking for that uh receiving touchdown. Then he had
Speaker 13: it to day, So that was dope or are?
Speaker 6: They were third of the league defense coming in and
Speaker 6: had a lot of sens success a lot of different ways.
Speaker 6: Did you like, looked at their defense during the week
Speaker 6: and then you know, applied that to what what?
Speaker 8: What do you feel like you did well.
Speaker 6: To take advantage of what they were they going to
Speaker 6: be better?
Speaker 13: Uh, just take advantage what they was giving me. Just
Speaker 13: getting the ball to my guys and letting them execute.
Speaker 13: Uh Nellie ba Zay uh losey Mark pat It was justice.
Speaker 13: I can go on and on, but just getting getting
Speaker 13: the ball to those guys also not doing a great
Speaker 13: job blocking, made my job a lot easier.
Speaker 8: All right, thanks.
Speaker 1: Next, let's go with running back Derek Henry. He scored
Speaker 1: a pair of touchdowns and top one hundred yards on
Speaker 1: the day.
Speaker 10: He talked about this game and the success that he's
Speaker 10: having this year.
Speaker 8: How y'all doing, Derek?
Speaker 3: I think you're up to thirteen touchdowns already this season.
Speaker 3: How much of it bent is just a want to
Speaker 3: get through that act job?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I mean, like I said before, I get the credit
Speaker 12: to you guys who are blocking to make my job easier.
Speaker 12: And all I gotta do is just make my reads,
Speaker 12: you know your south then make them make the most
Speaker 12: of the play. So credit to all the guys blocking
Speaker 12: was a great job and all their unselfishness.
Speaker 7: Derek on that point, from the first two of the
Speaker 7: season to now, what what do you think has been
Speaker 7: the biggest stride, especially for the offensive line and and how.
Speaker 8: They'd been blocking.
Speaker 12: I think it's just them executing, coming off the ball,
Speaker 12: being physical. I think the work that they do during
Speaker 12: the week, think it shows on game day. And the
Speaker 12: chemistry they have, uh up front, I think that shows
Speaker 12: as well.
Speaker 4: And you know they they take.
Speaker 12: Pride in it in the run game and protecting Lamar,
Speaker 12: so you know, they they they d deserve all the
Speaker 12: credit and hats off to them.
Speaker 8: Derick, you've had You've talked about this a little bit,
Speaker 8: but what kind of impact does it have on you
Speaker 8: as your runner having a guy like Lebar back there,
Speaker 8: particularly that he's played, you know, as well as.
Speaker 12: He has and see then yeah, I know, I mean,
Speaker 12: I know guy asked coach Harbor all about him running today.
Speaker 12: We he didn't, he didn't have to, you know, you know,
Speaker 12: he just dangerous with his arm and I think he
Speaker 12: he showed that today. You know, if you wanna take
Speaker 12: away him running the ball to go over your head
Speaker 12: and throw it and it's you know, he got a
Speaker 12: running he'll be he he'll do that as well, So
Speaker 12: you know, hats off to him.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 12: It's just he's an engine to make this thing go.
Speaker 12: And you know MB three.
Speaker 11: So hm, Derek, you are now at overall under rushing
Speaker 11: touchdowns for your career, which is a past Barrs Sanders
Speaker 11: with at ninety nine.
Speaker 3: Just like, what does that.
Speaker 17: Mean to you?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 12: I mean, God, God has been tremendously good to me
Speaker 12: and I'm thankful and credit to everybody who's been a
Speaker 12: part of my my career to help me get to this,
Speaker 12: to this milestone. You know, very Barry Sanders is like
Speaker 12: a a U running back superhero. So you know that's
Speaker 12: very cool. And I don't take it for granted.
Speaker 6: Derek.
Speaker 16: You guys have said all all off in this season
Speaker 16: and so pick your boys and type offense. In the
Speaker 16: first half, I think you guys at twenty four yards rushing,
Speaker 16: but you threw for over two hundred yards and two scores.
Speaker 16: And the second half of the run game is this
Speaker 16: sort of what you mean by that that if uh,
Speaker 16: the defense wants to pay take away one thing, you
Speaker 16: guys will adjust and do something else.
Speaker 12: Well, I think it just credit the officer line protecting
Speaker 12: l L find the open guys and receivers getting open
Speaker 12: the receivers at tight ends. Everybody just be great, jah
Speaker 12: and if they wanna take care take away to run.
Speaker 12: Those guys did the great job of getting open and
Speaker 12: opening it up for for everybody. And you know, say,
Speaker 12: Files did a great job. And you know he's just
Speaker 12: so dynamic. We ball in his hands. You you know,
Speaker 12: you just assume he's gonna score and it's it's gonna
Speaker 12: be a big pair every time. So you know, him
Speaker 12: and him and L did the great job today received
Speaker 12: his tight end. So you know, credit to them to
Speaker 12: for us to be complimentary and be able to do both.
Speaker 3: There were you aware that you had ninety nine yards
Speaker 3: before that last serious you went in and you got
Speaker 3: the uh extra yards to get over it?
Speaker 12: Yeah, they kept saying it, so somebody ill if I
Speaker 12: if I get it, I get it. I I I
Speaker 12: shouldn't have went in that cause the ball was on
Speaker 12: the grounds U and stuff like that. Yeah, I know
Speaker 12: it's that we got it over with and it it
Speaker 12: is what it is. But uh but yeah, man, for
Speaker 12: me to have the day that I had, you know,
Speaker 12: I give it credit to everybody. Everybody blocking. But I'm
Speaker 12: not happy with how I played and I need to
Speaker 12: to do better this this next game. But you know,
Speaker 12: any any success I had, give it the credit to them.
Speaker 12: To me, I'm not too happy about the game.
Speaker 4: So there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got just the uh one day of practice
Speaker 7: with Lamar this week.
Speaker 11: Wh was there any indication that he was gonna be
Speaker 11: less than a hundred percent before this game?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 12: Hell, you gotta do to get him ready to play
Speaker 12: th th that's what he gonna do. They he showed
Speaker 12: it today. I mean, you needed one day and had
Speaker 12: a perpacatutor. So whatever he needs to do to to
Speaker 12: be able to go, go play, cause you know that's
Speaker 12: what he has to do. You know, I feel like
Speaker 12: you know it, don't It don't matter if it's one
Speaker 12: day or half a day, you know, he gonna be ready.
Speaker 3: So Derek John had said in the locker room, you
Speaker 3: had said, hey, it's a ton of Thursday night already.
Speaker 16: Since since that it's your first year here, h how
Speaker 16: how well have you like taken this vibe of AFC
Speaker 16: North football in this way?
Speaker 8: Cause it's just like you said, it's Cincinnati Thursday and night.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean it's it's a battle. I mean every
Speaker 12: the Vision game we had has been a battle, and
Speaker 12: and it came down to the wire. So you know,
Speaker 12: we just gotta lock in, you know, t tomorrow to
Speaker 12: get ready for those guys you know divisions, it's it's
Speaker 12: a division. They have great teams, great players, So you know,
Speaker 12: just us just being locked in and being focused till
Speaker 12: Thursday comes and get rid of.
Speaker 10: In the locker room.
Speaker 1: We also heard from a handful of guys. Let's go
Speaker 1: with outside linebacker Tavius Robinson.
Speaker 14: A lot of people have seen you, you know, rush the passer,
Speaker 14: but we so you make several tackles down field.
Speaker 9: How important is to.
Speaker 4: Be versus I like that in the defense most definitely.
Speaker 4: It's the more you can do the better, for sure.
Speaker 4: So it was great to make tackles down there. And
Speaker 4: uh yeah, it's it's important for sure.
Speaker 17: What kind of a jolt the whole team that you're
Speaker 17: able to make.
Speaker 3: Stots on.
Speaker 4: Huge think I was saying earlier, just if we have
Speaker 4: a yard or we're gonna try and stop that at
Speaker 4: a point, So huge, more men ships to shore confidence.
Speaker 2: There's some confidence going into what you have coming Thursday,
Speaker 2: to have come off a game like this that's got.
Speaker 4: To be in Yeah, most definitely. Definitely a lot of confidence.
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, you know, you
Speaker 4: got to go back to work tomorrow, get ready for
Speaker 4: a short week, and uh, you know every week is different,
Speaker 4: so you you got to come out with the same
Speaker 4: mentality that we did this week, for sure.
Speaker 7: Do you think about your own upside and how much
Speaker 7: this defense relies on you to be the best version
Speaker 7: of yourself?
Speaker 4: Most definitely.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Every day, every day on the practice field and every game,
Speaker 4: I try to do my one of eleven and be
Speaker 4: the best version of myself because I know, you know,
Speaker 4: my brothers decide me and all of them are doing
Speaker 4: the exact same things, so it's important for me to
Speaker 4: do the same.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's a lot of talk about, you know, trade targets.
Speaker 11: I mean it's that time of year, right around the
Speaker 11: trade deadline.
Speaker 7: Is this group kind of thinking about just hey, we
Speaker 7: gotta we gotta be our own catalyst.
Speaker 8: We got to change it for ourselves.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're just thinking about getting better every day, So
Speaker 4: every practice, every meeting, just being intentional and just growing
Speaker 4: as the season goes.
Speaker 13: But what does it mean to you get means.
Speaker 4: A ton for sure. And again, just just to have
Speaker 4: my brothers and my team, you know, celebrate with me
Speaker 4: and be happy for me means a ton.
Speaker 10: But yeah, for sure, it's one of those moments like you.
Speaker 6: Know when they playing with accural that you get to
Speaker 6: in celebrations have the culmination.
Speaker 4: Yeah, very exciting. You know a lot of work throughout
Speaker 4: the week. I feel like every week is different, so, uh,
Speaker 4: you got to put in the work during the week
Speaker 4: to make plays like that.
Speaker 1: So for sure, big picture for the defense is how
Speaker 1: pleased are you with the way the defense responded after
Speaker 1: a tough one last week?
Speaker 7: But did he get back on track this week?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think Uh, I'm very happy with how we
Speaker 4: responded and again we talked about it last night and
Speaker 4: did what we needed to do. But now we got
Speaker 4: to continue to grow off that and uh do again
Speaker 4: to serge.
Speaker 1: We also heard from wide receiver Nelson Agalar then Nelson
Speaker 1: the big player that you had and how significant was
Speaker 1: it at that time of the morning week.
Speaker 17: The significance to me because they all count for me.
Speaker 18: And you know, it's also pretty amazing because it's it's
Speaker 18: L's vision.
Speaker 12: Really, it's L's vision.
Speaker 18: He he kind of you know, point guarded me to
Speaker 18: that area with how his eye contact and where he
Speaker 18: was trying to create to get me to go. And
Speaker 18: he really wanted me to get more on that.
Speaker 14: He was trying to get me to score.
Speaker 2: So I owe him a touchdown on the scramble.
Speaker 17: Drill because he uh, because it was more like we
Speaker 17: had something.
Speaker 14: He saw where they were.
Speaker 18: He bought some time and he gave me a ball
Speaker 18: so that I can you know, play it and and
Speaker 18: keep going. So he he that's what he does though,
Speaker 18: like he he has great vision for you as a
Speaker 18: pass catch and the route runner. You know, so that's
Speaker 18: pretty cool.
Speaker 1: How are you try to how are you adapted to
Speaker 1: the route as as a place.
Speaker 14: Well, you know, I it's a you know, my initial
Speaker 14: route was a basic cross and I start to take
Speaker 14: myself on that you know play and the way the
Speaker 14: defense defends him.
Speaker 17: He knows better than anyone. He knows how defenses defend him.
Speaker 14: And then the backside safety was very high.
Speaker 17: I started to go first window, and he saw something
Speaker 17: else and that's what he does.
Speaker 18: He's like, hey, and I see his eyes, so I
Speaker 18: go to where his eyes are.
Speaker 7: You know, that's what he does and what's the big
Speaker 7: game for him to day?
Speaker 9: What sets that he favored him? Uh, just a progression
Speaker 9: to your teeth.
Speaker 18: It's it's always important when you have such a great
Speaker 18: first year to have the hunger and the the excitement.
Speaker 14: To just compete in the next year. And I think
Speaker 14: that's what makes him who he is.
Speaker 18: He came here as a rookie, very hungry, anxious to
Speaker 18: just compete. He came here as his second year even hungrier,
Speaker 18: anxious and excited to make plays, compete.
Speaker 17: And be a focal point. And that's what he does.
Speaker 6: Is there a point in games when you look at
Speaker 6: Lamar and you just say, this guy's gonna be unstoppable today,
Speaker 6: like he's just really locked in today.
Speaker 14: Well, well, it's not talking like that.
Speaker 12: He knows who he is.
Speaker 4: We know who he is.
Speaker 14: He's a ultimate competitor.
Speaker 4: We don't have to talk like that.
Speaker 17: He We just go out there and we compete, and
Speaker 17: Lamar Jackson is who Lamar Jackson is, the ultimate competitor.
Speaker 4: The ah.
Speaker 10: So the whole Picker Boys, I think only works.
Speaker 1: So there's the nattitude en selfishness, you know, on a
Speaker 1: off how does the attitude kind of show us the
Speaker 1: older day.
Speaker 16: Man.
Speaker 17: Each individual has to understand that the ultimate goal in
Speaker 17: this league is a championship. There's a lot of individual
Speaker 17: things you can accomplish towards that, but the championship is
Speaker 17: the most important thing. So if you catch four or
Speaker 17: five balls, one ball, it doesn't matter. And then when
Speaker 17: you have the most unselfish.
Speaker 18: Quarterback that wants you to maximize the opportunity that you get,
Speaker 18: that's an awesome thing.
Speaker 17: He he spearheads the unseelfishness.
Speaker 3: Eight.
Speaker 17: Does you know we just had a conversation earlier about
Speaker 17: you know him, like, hey, man, I might not be
Speaker 17: able to get back to you.
Speaker 4: That's why I try to get you to.
Speaker 12: Score, because that's what he cares about.
Speaker 18: He cares about us feeling valued and making plays.
Speaker 4: So pretty cool deal.
Speaker 1: Next up, we heard from some of the guys on
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Let's go with left tackle Ronnie Stanley.
Speaker 2: You know, break off runs and dazzle from your position.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean it's always great. You know I've been
Speaker 11: talking about the whole year. Playing with him is a blessing,
Speaker 11: great opportunity and never gets old. When you see him,
Speaker 11: you know, break the gap and you know Shug along it.
Speaker 12: Goes every thousand yards today.
Speaker 7: Just how much pride do you guys take as an
Speaker 7: offensive line in that, and you know, with him giving
Speaker 7: you guys.
Speaker 15: A credit proach.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, we always want to impose our will
Speaker 11: every week as a offensive line and make sure we're
Speaker 11: giving the guy, especially Derek, you know, space to run,
Speaker 11: but all our running backs and you know Lamar when
Speaker 11: he wants to run. But yeah, I think it's a
Speaker 11: great thing when we can control the game.
Speaker 3: Like that, even how good Derek is in the first half,
Speaker 3: that once it gets that fourth quarter, that's kind of where.
Speaker 14: His strongness is.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I don't really think about it too much,
Speaker 11: but I know he's gonna be ready to go all
Speaker 11: game and as game goes on, he definitely gets better.
Speaker 7: Was this a game where the line particularly wanted to
Speaker 7: turn the page from last week?
Speaker 2: I mean, I imagine you guys didn't have a great astaste.
Speaker 1: In your mouth dropter last week.
Speaker 11: I mean, I think we just take a mindset we're
Speaker 11: just trying to take steps forward. You know, wins come,
Speaker 11: sometimes losses come, but we're just trying to keep building
Speaker 11: and focusing on getting better as a union and individually.
Speaker 5: Ron about the defensive front over there, that pressure rate,
Speaker 5: their sack rate, Was that something you guys paid attention
Speaker 5: to and how much that motivates you guys as a
Speaker 5: unit offensive line specifically going into this game.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, we knew they had a great defensive
Speaker 11: front and they really played all together. They play well
Speaker 11: off each other, and we knew to win this game
Speaker 11: we had to be on point, and I think everyone
Speaker 11: did a great job today and taking all my challenge
Speaker 11: speaking of that, either they had the highest blitz rate
Speaker 11: in the league.
Speaker 8: Did they bring a lot of blitzes in Were there any.
Speaker 2: Times that you can call Lamar handling that blitz either
Speaker 2: audibling or whatnot to eat them?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean I think they did uh blitz quite
Speaker 11: a bit, and you know, had a lot of simulated
Speaker 11: pressures as well. But yeah, they were definitely showing a
Speaker 11: lot of different looks out there, and I think Lamar
Speaker 11: handled it well.
Speaker 5: Ron John called this the best complete game of the
Speaker 5: season for you guys, Did did you feel that way?
Speaker 1: Following is?
Speaker 11: I mean, I think it's a it's a great game.
Speaker 11: I think, you know, the results are well, but the
Speaker 11: quality performance I think was well as well. But we
Speaker 11: still have a lot to build on and very happy,
Speaker 11: very confident guys going forward. But we're just gonna keep
Speaker 11: bilding taking steps forward with the offense.
Speaker 10: Is clicking like this? How difficult does that make you?
Speaker 6: Guys?
Speaker 7: Stop?
Speaker 11: I think you know, when we're clicking, I think we're
Speaker 11: you know, only only thing that can stop ourselves is ourselves.
Speaker 11: And I think there's a lot of a lot of
Speaker 11: validion that you know, and when when you see what
Speaker 11: we can do when we're or doing what we're supposed
Speaker 11: to do.
Speaker 8: Ronnie Lamar had your obviously the one day of practice
Speaker 8: this week didn't need to impute him obviously at all.
Speaker 8: What have you seen from him that he can go
Speaker 8: out there, have just the one practice.
Speaker 4: And have a day like this week?
Speaker 18: Guys?
Speaker 11: I mean, yeah, he couldn't be at practice, but I
Speaker 11: know he wanted to be out there and you want
Speaker 11: to improve, but you know, he's a professional. So whatever
Speaker 11: time you can get, he's gonna make sure that he's
Speaker 11: on point for us and himself. And you know he
Speaker 11: showed that out there today.
Speaker 3: How good was that one day of practice?
Speaker 11: I mean, Lamar, I feel like every day is good,
Speaker 11: but you know it's whatever he needs, So whatever he
Speaker 11: needs to be ready for game day, he's gonna take
Speaker 11: care of you.
Speaker 7: Ronnie, how do you approach that with the quick turnaround
Speaker 7: with the game on third.
Speaker 11: I think recovery's just gonna be a big thing this week,
Speaker 11: you know, making sure to stack on that, you know,
Speaker 11: maybe do a double things you would do on a day,
Speaker 11: you know, because very very short week, So got to
Speaker 11: make sure the body's feeling as good as possible.
Speaker 10: Next up is right tackle Roger Rosegard.
Speaker 3: Did you guys as a group very much want to
Speaker 3: put last week by Yeah?
Speaker 15: I think you have to. You can't dwell on last
Speaker 15: week at all.
Speaker 4: And then once you.
Speaker 15: I remember we got in the locker room last week,
Speaker 15: We're like, we're all we're all in on the Broncos.
Speaker 15: So that was a mentality.
Speaker 1: It feels like every week someone else is saying they're
Speaker 1: impressed by Lamar dazzling.
Speaker 16: Is that sort of becoming the.
Speaker 10: Norm for Derek Henry too?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Absolutely. Those those two guys are all pro for a reason.
Speaker 15: They they're the best at what they do. So you know,
Speaker 15: a week in week out what they do and make
Speaker 15: us look good as an old linement, especially Lamar. Yeah,
Speaker 15: they're the best.
Speaker 2: Is there still some novelty your fun to seeing Derek
Speaker 2: plow through guys in front of you?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 15: I mean I grew up watching him when I was
Speaker 15: in middle school, high school, in college. Now I get
Speaker 15: to play play with them and block form.
Speaker 4: So thanks for sure.
Speaker 6: That feeling is that?
Speaker 7: I mean, is that kind of the cool part of
Speaker 7: your job that if you if you do your job,
Speaker 7: then you kind of get to watch the magic. Right?
Speaker 15: Absolutely, it's It's the best feeling when it's a party
Speaker 15: in the end zone on every score, hold up protection
Speaker 15: for Lamar and then open up holes for Eric Justice,
Speaker 15: et cetera. So yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: We're at the mid point in season now.
Speaker 3: There were so many questions about the offensive line coming
Speaker 3: in with the turnover. How would you sort of assess
Speaker 3: where you guys are at the at the midpoint?
Speaker 15: Yeah, say, we're in a good spot. Just a lot
Speaker 15: of stuff we got to clean up, especially with me personally,
Speaker 15: I got tons of things you need to clean up
Speaker 15: on pre snap, during the snap, post snap. But I
Speaker 15: think as a as a group, we're in a really
Speaker 15: good spot and we know that and we just got
Speaker 15: to keep them at hum.
Speaker 10: Thank you so much for listening. Enjoy the win. We'll
Speaker 10: be back with you again tomorrow
