The Ravens are 0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.840 coming off a twenty to ten victory over the La 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.240 Chargers on prime time Sunday night Football. 0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:12.680 Now. 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.440 This is the bye week for the Ravens and head 0:00:15.480 --> 0:00:18.079 coach John Harball talked about that win and what he's 0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.720 going to be focused on during the spy Welcome back. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:22.400 You look great. 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:23.560 Oh, thank you. 0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:26.720 That's what no sleep looks like. 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:27.400 It really does. 0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:28.840 Yeah, pretty much. 0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:31.400 It's right good to see everybody. This is what no 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:34.240 sleep looks like. But a happy It's a very happy 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:39.120 no sleep. Everybody's pleased with the outcome and really just 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.919 got to work as soon as we got back in 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:42.960 went to work on the game and then making our 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.760 plans for the rest of the week. Is a staff players, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.320 some players are to check in other players we've given 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.720 them the week off. So that's where we're at right now, 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.920 and we're looking forward to preparing for the next five 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.400 weeks of the regular season and if we do a 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.720 good job beyond that. So what questions you have. 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.920 Then I can't recall from much of the bat. Is 0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.000 it pretty standard we give this whole week. 0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:07.600 And what way it kind of for that decision. 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:09.399 Yeah, it's kind of moved that way the last couple 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.399 of years. You know, five weeks have gotten shorter, I 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.360 think compared to what they used to be. Heck, you 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.160 used to be there the whole week until like Friday, 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:17.959 you know, and you have the opportunity to come back 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:20.920 possibly Monday, Tuesday, even Wednesday if you wanted to. We 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:23.760 haven't done that for a while, but it just seemed 0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:25.839 like the right thing. You know, we're twelve weeks into 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:29.680 the season. I don't think we would have gained as 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.800 much from practicing as we would from you know, resting basically. 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.680 So let the guys get away and kind of regroup, 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.920 you know, physically even spiritually a little bit, and just 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.800 heal up and get ready for what's what's ahead. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.120 Last night, apologize because I was not. There was there 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.680 an administrating issue with the spots or with those challenges 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:55.360 that weren't made. When you go back and watch it, 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.560 do you wish the challenges hadn't made or what happened there? 0:01:57.760 --> 0:01:58.000 Yeah? 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:00.559 Well, there were administrative issues even on the field goals. 0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.320 I mean, the field goals were running down on us 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.720 every single time we had the one delay a game. 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.200 That was odd. You know, the guys are pretty much 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:10.160 in the same rhythm. So we were struggling with the 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.919 administrators administrative aspect of the of the play's prematurehole game. 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.480 But we would look back and look at the challenges, 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:19.880 not really, I mean the one on the sideline with Lamar, 0:02:20.120 --> 0:02:23.000 we looked at that closely this morning. We didn't have 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.680 the views that you had later on TV. We didn't 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.840 have those before the next play, you know where they 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.840 spliced together the angles, and it didn't look like on 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.640 the angle we had during the game that we would 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.640 win it, And going back and looking at the spliced angle, 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.840 we wouldn't have won it. I mean, they're not going 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.520 to overturn that with what the angles that they had, 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.440 so that would have cost us the time out and 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.320 we would have been out of challenges. The other one 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.679 we thought was a first down. I mean everybody in 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.880 the stadium thought that was a first down. It came 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.840 on TV. In our press box is a first down, 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.079 and we thought he pointed first down, so we called 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.240 a we called him, we called a first down play there. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:02.000 So we wasted to play on that one administratively. So 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.200 that was one you'd like to have back. We regret 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.160 the fact that we didn't realize that they marked it 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.480 short as we looked at it. It shouldn't have been 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.240 marked short. They should have caught it upstairs anyway with 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.480 the replay official, but they didn't, So we'll take responsibility 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.480 for that. That's one that we thought was a first down. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.200 As far as the one, the one we did challenge. 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:23.720 You think that was the right challenge. You know, you 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.799 did the best you could. We didn't have the view 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.840 of it stopped start and it ended up being straight across. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.880 Even so, you know, that's a seventeen yard play on 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.760 third and long. That's a high leverage type opportunity. You've 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.600 got to challenge that one in that situation. So I 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.480 think looking back, we probably did the right thing. I 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.040 know we did the right things given the information we had, 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.760 and even looking back on were. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.720 There when you look back at it now, where there's 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:48.480 some communication, maybe breakdowns. You're in a foreign stadium, you're 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.680 not in your home stadium, So sometimes those things weren't 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:51.280 in a weird way. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:53.920 I mean, was there situations where maybe you weren't able 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.600 to get the answer you were looking for in terms 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.280 of a first down or a certain call or situation. 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.560 Well, yeah, I don't get the view, you know, even 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.480 on TV, like we have a TV monitor up in 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.400 the box, but you don't get you get what the 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:08.200 TV gives you. So there's not there's nothing on the 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.800 screens in the stadium that they're giving you like they 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:10.400 would at home. 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:11.440 Uh. 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.160 And those are all plays, you know, going to the 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.240 line of scrimmage quickly. 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:15.240 Uh. 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.400 So yeah, you don't. You don't get all the information 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.240 that you'd like to have for sure, But we had, 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.159 we had the information looking back on it, really, I 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.080 mean honestly, now, I'd tell you if I thought we 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.680 should or shouldn't have challenged it, and we would not 0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:28.359 have won that challenge on the mar you know. And 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:29.680 we can all look at it and say, I think 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.640 he got the first down. I'd like to say, yeah, 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.680 I think he got the ball over inside, But what 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.880 are they going to turn over? And we study that 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.320 and we look and see what they turn over? Why 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:41.960 what they see And we're pretty good at knowing what 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.359 they're going to turn over with they're not. And you 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.320 couldn't we lose a timeout and a and a and 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.200 a challenge there that would that could have hurt us 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.520 at the end of the game. So hindsight even I 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.440 really feel like that was the right decision not to challenge. 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:55.560 I mean, I want to get the first down there, 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.840 but you know that's just the way it went. 0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.640 John, How did Ronnie Stanley get out of the game, 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:03.840 And just knowing he's dealt with that right in me 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.760 a couple of different times this year. You know, how 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.560 beneficial do you think this by week can be for 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.520 him to try to get him as close to full 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:10.800 strength of the rest of the way as you can. 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:13.880 I do think that it's going to be beneficial for him, 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.520 you know. I mean, it's it's something that's been you know, 0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.680 I mean it's it's it's not been great. You know, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.200 it's I think he'd probably be the first to tell 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.600 you it's not been great. He needs just he needs 0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:24.840 to get stronger, and he's get his technique right, and 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.760 he's got out practice and and to keep growing back 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.320 into you know, his his he's a great player. You know, 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:31.720 we want to get him back to playing at that 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:32.280 high level. 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.479 Talk about because the thirteen games into the season haven't 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:38.000 had a break traveled internationally. 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.480 You've gone to the West coast. Just how taxing dots 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.600 the season in and helps the beneficial is this. 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:43.960 By wee can be right? 0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.520 Well, yes, I told the guys last night in the 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.280 locker room. I was really I'm really proud of him. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.359 I think we all are, because they played with a 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.440 high level of energy and it took that kind of 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.640 energy to win. I mean, that's a team that is 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.120 actually a very good football team, very talented team. It 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:59.479 was a desperate team had to have that win at home, 0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:01.960 and we just played at a high level. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:02.120 Man. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.279 I mean, our guys were playing hard. It was a 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.839 very physical game. And to do that, like you said, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:10.880 through the course of this season, with all the travel 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.200 and all tough games you've had, I think it's pretty 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:16.160 pretty remarkable. I'm really proud of the guys. So this 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:18.520 is a beneficial time. We're going to try to make 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.000 the most of it, you know, and then be ready 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.120 to roll for what's gonna be the toughest schedule in 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:23.640 football for the next five weeks. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.480 Talking about your defense, I they talked about it a 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.880 little bit last night, but I know you guys have 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.800 had better yardage games limiting the opponent. But the way 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:35.960 you guys played last night, I mean, is that not 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:39.520 arguably like your best defense at effort of the season. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.960 You think, yeah, you could say that probably, I mean 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.520 we've had some pretty good ones, you know, but that 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.560 that's a heck of an offense. They challenge in a 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.760 lot of different ways, and you know, you take you 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.960 take away the one quarterback scramble probably and they didn't 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.279 have much, you know, so and then the one long 0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:59.280 drive they had also that and then Jadavian Clowney coming 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.680 up with that. I'm gonna tell you what, I failed 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.839 to mention that last night. Just didn't hit my mind 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:05.760 that that was that might have been to play of 0:07:05.800 --> 0:07:09.280 the game. I mean, that brush, that sack, that recovery, 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:12.800 the whole thing was just I mean, I mean just 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.880 a Hall of Fame type play. So even when they 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.000 did get the two longer drives, I think our guys 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:21.200 stepp up pretty big. They did score on the one unfortunately, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.480 but yeah, I can make it a good point at. 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.960 Forty four yarder that Tucker missed last night, I think 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.480 this is first miss inside fifty. What do you make 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:30.960 of the season that he's. 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:31.320 Had so far. 0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.520 Yeah, I'm Tuck Tuck. That was one he was rushed on. 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.240 I mean, he was rushed on all those field goals 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.240 the whole game. So I'm not making excuses for him. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.040 You know, he would never accept that. He'll tell you 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:42.920 he's got to make him under any circumstance. I mean, 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:46.400 we can't afford to call time out there. I don't 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:48.160 know why the clock was running so fast, why they 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.440 didn't administer it the way they normally do, but we 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:53.480 knew after the delayed game on the first one that 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:55.880 we were going to have to just speed it all 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.440 up and get it off. So it's just a miss. 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.080 He's human, you know, and I'm sure glad we got him. 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.960 Always will be in terms of a kind of this 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:06.440 is kind of self scouting process. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.440 Is there a benefit of the vibing as late as 0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.960 it is like the identity you know, what's the identity. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.280 Of the team that's kind on those sides when you 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.440 get to kind of make tweaks for the final stretch 0:08:15.440 --> 0:08:16.360 here from the. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:20.760 Regular season right right there, We're gonna make the most 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.480 of it. You know, We've got an opportunity now to 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:24.520 kind of get to work as a coaching staff this week. 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.480 Look at ourselves, look at our opponents. Try to try 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.400 to drum up some ideas, you know, going down the 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.160 stretch for situational football, there's plenty of areas of all 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.680 three phases that you know, we need to improve. You know, 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.959 we need to get better. There's a lot of things 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.439 we can get better at. You know, I could go 0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:44.920 through the list right now, but I probably don't want to. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:48.319 But we've gone through the list already today, and we're 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.400 gonna try to find ways to improve as a as 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.319 a coaching staff, to help our guys and give them 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.640 some more tools going down the stretch, first game, stepping. 0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:57.920 In for Mark after injury. Would you think of Isaiah 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.360 Likely in the job he did yesterday? 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.360 He did great, He did a great job. I just 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.400 you know, he's athletic, man. I mean to see him, 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.439 those are things you guys have all seen in practice 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.439 and training camp and all that in preseason. Uh, that's 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.160 kind of kind of who you thought he was gonna 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:13.920 be when he got his opportunity. So really proud of him, 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.880 happy for him, and it's gonna he's gonna be able 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.320 to build off that these. 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:18.840 Guys in a while. 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.480 But is there any updates on the status of David 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.079 a job though and tights out there? 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.760 Yes, David Ajobo had surgery last week late actually in 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:35.200 LA to repair a partially torn a c L. He 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:38.719 had to make a decision about it in terms of 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.480 whether to risk it or not, and every every every 0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:44.680 medical expert said to get it fixed because it would 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.640 have said he wanted to play. But even even I 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.319 told him, I said, man, you gotta you gotta get 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:51.120 that right for the rest of your career because it's 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:55.040 a clean type of surgery. And he'll be rolling again, uh, 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.400 you know, training camp at the latest, he'll be rolling. 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.719 So that that's what he did. And then what was 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:03.559 the other one? Tyas is just trying to get the 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.320 knee where he can basically handle the loading, you know, 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:10.199 swelling and stuff like that. It's just kind of an 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.880 angry knee. I guess that really haven't been told exactly. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.280 I think it's kind of a little bit of a 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.600 hard one to cipher. That's why we have been able 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.720 to be very clear with it. But when it calms 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.560 down enough, he's going to be back playing. So I 0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:24.040 know he's working toward that, and if and when we 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.880 get him back, it'd be a huge bonus for us. 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.000 Under the complication of that that you only have that 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.440 twenty one day window to play with, so you know, 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:32.319 you don't want to start his clock, and then you 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.280 realize he's not ready, and then you're kind of in 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:34.960 a roster bond. 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:36.920 Well, it's not so much sad as this. He's just 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.239 not ready to start his clock yet, you know, physically. 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:40.880 So if he was ready to start his clock, I 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.280 think we put him out there and get going with it, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.240 especially this point in time. But we're just not there 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:45.880 with the knee. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.120 Did you come out with. 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:50.160 Any other unsettled all stuff out of the game, anything 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:50.560 you're word. 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:51.440 About over the next couple of weeks. 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.720 Now, John, what do you know of Arthur Mulett six 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.760 months ago versus? What have you learned from him? 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:58.079 Since? 0:10:58.240 --> 0:10:59.760 Well? I knew he's a pain in the butt playing 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.040 again him, you know, because we played against him quite 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:03.840 a bit in New Orleans and then Pittsburgh. You know, 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.280 I I I didn't like him at Pittsburgh because I 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:07.920 thought they lost their nickel. Then all of a sudden 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.120 he's out there playing and I wasn't sure how good 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:11.720 he was gonna be. Then he turned out to be 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.480 really good, so I was mad about it. And then uh, 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:16.240 he came here, you know, and I was happy about 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.040 it because he's a tough dude. Man. He's a hard 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.880 playing guy. He brings a lot of sad, a lot 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.400 of energy. He's never satisfied come up with that play 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.000 he made. That sack was a huge play. And it 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:29.320 wasn't only he had a number of plays. I mean, 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.160 he was out there, he made the most of his time. Uh. Yeah, 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.920 he's done a great job for so that was a 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.360 that was a great job by our our personnel department. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:38.920 On the broadcast last side. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.760 They talked about Kyle Hamilton and how he's. 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:42.880 Having a noble caliber, old pro type season. 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.640 What have you seen from his development from the Negos season. 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.600 Yeah, I've seen just what you guys have seen. I 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.960 think Gerty's he's been He's been something. You know, He's 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:52.920 just he's all over the field and he and we 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.199 give him we put more on his plate every single 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:56.960 week and he and he makes the most of it. 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.760 You know, he cleans his plate. So we'll keep putting 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:02.719 more on there, you know. And uh, but he's I 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:04.720 think he's he's kind of a reflection of the whole 0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:07.719 defense right now. They they they're hungry, they want to 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:10.520 get better, they want more. Uh, they want, they want, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.839 they hate when they don't, you know, make a play, 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.439 any any type of play, that's. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:15.600 What you love. 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:18.480 Abottom. I think he's kind of him and all the guys, 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.120 they're just kind of in the same mold that way. 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.040 Nice topic wearing there. 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.840 Can you remember a better weekend for the Harball brothers? 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.240 And my dad says it's the best one ever. But 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.400 he always says that, you know, every weekend he says, Oh, 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.640 the thing is, you never had a better win, and 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.520 he goes, but this time it's really true, you know, Uh, 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.960 this time it might be. But uh, now I'm just 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.240 proud of, proud of obviously Jim and and uh and 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.800 that whole team. To see that team come together. I 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.560 see a lot of similarities in the two teams, you know, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.680 how how bonded together they are, how they really are 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.360 family and you know, through thick and thin. So yeah, 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.520 happy for happy for everybody this weekend. 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:57.160 What does bye week look for you? 0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.280 From now till day? Bye week? Bye week? It'll be 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.520 from now till probably Friday. Yeah Friday for sure, will 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:05.719 be working full week as coaches, So yeah, I'll be 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.720 in all week doing that. Probably get the weekend you know, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.319 get away a little bit and probably watch a Big 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.360 ten championship game. I'm not here. I'll watch it here though, 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.079 I'm not going. Yeah, that's about it. It's gonna be simple. 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.640 That was head coach John Harball. We also had a 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:26.640 chance to talk with the coordinators today. Let's kick things 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.800 off a specially teams coordinator Chris Horton. 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:31.600 Good to see everyone today. 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.199 Hope everyone's doing well, especially guys that travel back from 0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:39.040 from the West coast. Appreciate you guys being here. Just 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.160 just looking forward to us throughout this bye week. You know, 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.840 it's a great opportunity for us, for us as coaches 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:47.440 to kind of dive deep into some of the things 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.040 that you really wouldn't wouldn't have had time to because 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.480 you're doing so much game planning. 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:53.240 But now I got. 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:55.160 A full week to kind of really just look at 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:59.200 ourselves and figure out ways just to get better, really encouraged, 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.320 like I said before, or by what our guys are doing. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.199 I think our guys are playing hard, our guys are executing, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.520 but we just gotta we gotta find that consistency. And 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.840 that's the one thing that we're looking for out of 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:12.480 the out of our units questions, Chris, I. 0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.800 Think, uh total now for field goal misses, I think 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:16.520 it's five. 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:17.079 Now. 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.680 Has there been a trend a theme to because you 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:23.800 know at this point, we don't usually see that that 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.000 many at this point in the season for you guys, you. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:27.400 Know, I know, I don't think it's a it's a 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:28.160 trend or a theme. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.920 I think, like I said before, every kicks different, right, 0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.920 every situation is different, and I think when it comes 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.600 down to what we had, the we had the blocks, 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.480 you know, those things. Those things are fundamental things that 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.320 you know, we as coaches, we can get fixed that, 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.280 we get cleaned up, and then we kind of take 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.160 those things away. As far as as far as the kick, 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.920 you know, those come down to little detailed things. So 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.800 there's a lot of there's a lot of differences in 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:54.880 between the kicks. But I don't think it's a it's 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.000 a problem. I still think we got the greatest kicker 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.080 in the in football that I could tell you, and 0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.920 we'll put them out there. But whenever we need them 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.000 or whenever we say so, so I think we're gonna 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.000 be okay. We'll keep putting them out there and we'll 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:07.800 keep working it just fine. Tune what we do. 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.200 John said the last night that there was some rush, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.360 right administrative things, had you guys scrambling or rushing? 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:15.880 What was that all about? 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:16.800 You know what? 0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:18.880 I think? Well, I think one of the things. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.280 You know, when those guys get out there, there's a 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.080 lot of there's a lot of nuance to it. Right, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.160 we score on offense, there's a big play, and there's 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.600 some guys that are on the field goal on the 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.280 field goal team, that are also on the offensive line. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.640 So if those guys are over there celebrating, then also 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:36.160 when they spot the ball, all right, what's the play clock? 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:36.400 You know? 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.600 And honestly, I think we got to just do a 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.400 better job of kind of handling it as well ourselves 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.200 managing the play clock, getting ourselves out there so we're 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.920 not putting ourselves in those situations. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.120 We go out there, we take our time, we kick 0:15:48.200 --> 0:15:50.280 the ball, we make the kick, you know. So I 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.520 think those are also some things we can take care of. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.880 Other than that, Do you think certain things operationally need 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:58.520 to improve around the. 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.440 Kick into I mean, is there too much pressure at 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.120 times along the edges? 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:05.720 Well, like did you feel that yesterday early in the 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.040 game that a couple of those early kicks, so there's 0:16:08.040 --> 0:16:09.720 a little too much pressure on the edge or now 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.040 are you okay with how the blocking stuff sold? 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:12.200 Now? 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:12.440 No? 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:15.080 I think the block the blockings, the blocking last night 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:15.520
