1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens press pass. Today you'll hear from

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: head coach John Harball following the Ravens fifty six to

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: nineteen win over the Miami Dolphins Bears.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Harves, Okay, good to see everybody. Appreciate you coming out

5
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: for the press conference. Very pleased with the victory, very

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: pleased with our positioning at the end of the regular season,

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: which has one more game left and then moving into

8
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So we have kind of a twofold thought

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: process right now.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 3: We have.

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: Our priority, which is the Steelers game and putting our

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: best foot forward, playing our best game against our biggest rival,

13
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: who we expected, you know, playing great football, and we

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: expect it to be a very hard fought game. So

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: we've got to get our minds right for that as

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: we will, and then you know, just planning for the

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: next step in the playoffs. So those are two things

18
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 2: we're looking at today and after today it'll be focused

19
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: on the Steelers completely. So from my perspective, the coaches

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 2: are focused on the Steelers right now.

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: So what question do you have.

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: John, beings that you've kind of clicked everything you need

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 4: to do.

24
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,559
Speaker 5: Have you made a decision on Lamar will he playing

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 5: that final game.

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: I have not made a decision on any personnel yet.

27
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: We got to kind of work through the injury part

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: of it first, and that'll take us probably twenty four

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: to forty eight hours to get a real handle on that,

30
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: and then we'll make those decisions. We're not going to

31
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 2: keep it a secret, Jamison. We'll let you know what

32
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna do once we start practicing.

33
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 5: How'd you touch the team know Howard can know Stevens

34
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 5: and the secondary?

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 6: Please?

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 5: What were you mtes out?

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 6: Well?

38
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: What's the kids a key? This guy's always being ready?

39
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 5: I mean I say, never know when they're gonna be

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 5: able to come in there and play.

41
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tod, I think that's one of the best points

42
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 2: about the game really, you know, the fact that those

43
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: guys stepped up and we had some things to come

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: up there we didn't anticipate, you know, we we had

45
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: some game time decisions and we had some things happen

46
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: during the game that knock guys out.

47
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 5: Thought.

48
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: I thought the corners, the safety just played tremendously well.

49
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Darren Worley comes in and plays great ball,

50
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: and all three of the corners, Arthur played great, Rock

51
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: played great, Ronald played great. Those guys played against an high,

52
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: you know, high high powered offense. I thought they played

53
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: good sound football. They covered many, they handled the motions,

54
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: they handled all the different combination coverages we were in

55
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: against that offense, and thought they just did a great job.

56
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 7: You you mentioned you're still sorting through the injuries, but

57
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 7: as of now, any of the guys who were out

58
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 7: yesterday or who got hurt yesterday, are you worried to

59
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 7: not be available for the playoff game?

60
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: IM way too early to say that.

61
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 2: I would say not at this point, you know, but hey,

62
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: that's that's a ways a way.

63
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 8: Specifically with Marlon, was he campaign to try to go

64
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 8: back in.

65
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: We saw him pacing on the sideline, riding a bike

66
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 5: all that.

67
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he wanted to, He wanted to, but it wasn't

68
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't meant to be.

69
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 9: Can you talk about Ben Cleetland's performance yesterday, A guy

70
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 9: that you know was sat back in the dad and

71
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 9: the third round of thing for you guys, just seating

72
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 9: his opportunity and when he made.

73
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: A bit right another one of probably the great stories

74
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 2: of the game. He played very well and you've seen

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: it in practice with Ben probably for really all season

76
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: he's had a chance to One of the things he

77
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: didn't have a chance to do sometimes earlier in his

78
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: career was stacked practices because he had little nicks and

79
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: bruises and things like that just kept him out of practice.

80
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: He stacked the whole season's worth the practices, and to me,

81
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: it showed up in the game. He played really well,

82
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: run blocking, pass blocking, really all of it. Thought he

83
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: had an excellent game.

84
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 8: You guys really used Justice Hill effective in the last

85
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 8: couple of Yames, especially as he found a use for

86
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 8: himself getting more involved in the passing game.

87
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: Especially especially Yeah, you know that we've seen it in

88
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: practice a lot. Justice has really good hands. He's excellent

89
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: route runner. He's also excellent in pass protection too. And

90
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: then Lamar, you know, saw the coverage diagnosed it a

91
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: couple of times and got us into certain routes that

92
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: freed Justice up on some of those rail routes. And

93
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: that was I was pretty impressive to see those two

94
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: guys working together at the last scrimmage like that.

95
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 4: Every team nowadays kind of his next man up, and

96
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 4: successful teams are the ones that kind of usually don't

97
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: see a big drop off when you know, some major

98
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 4: injuries happen.

99
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 5: Do you kind of feel like one of the defining

100
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 5: characteristics of.

101
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 4: This team to this point has just been that the

102
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: ability for guys to kind of come in when you've

103
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 4: had some front line gets get injured and not have

104
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 4: a drop off.

105
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I think absolutely it's it's a defining

106
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: you have to it has to be that way in

107
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 2: the National Football League for sure. You just have to

108
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: have that quality to sustain and have stamina through the

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: whole season as a team. You know, team stamina requires

110
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: guys to step in and play and play at the

111
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: same high starter level. I mean, in our minds, everybody's

112
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 2: a starter. You have to be because you're one. You're

113
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: one click away from being out there, and you know,

114
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 2: everything riding on your shoulders, so you've got to prepare

115
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: that way. I think our guys have always done a

116
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: good job of that. I think if you go back

117
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 2: in past years, many any past years, you'll see the

118
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: same thing, the same trait with this team. So you know,

119
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: just appreciate about that type type of players that we have,

120
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: and they've done that this year.

121
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 7: John as we as we talked to the players up

122
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 7: for the game, yesterday.

123
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: The guys who were here four years ago, it.

124
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 7: Seemed like all of them said that experience does stick

125
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 7: with them, that it will inform kind of how they prepare.

126
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 5: For this opportunity.

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 7: I guess for you, what do you think are the

128
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 7: best lessons you took from that experience and how that

129
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 7: played out?

130
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 3: Which experience?

131
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 2: That was a disappointment, you know, it just was a disappointment.

132
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: We we did our best we had. You know, certain

133
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: kind of season's different than this season. It's a different team,

134
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: different circumstances, different everything, you know, except for the record

135
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: was about the same, you know, and the bye I think,

136
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 2: I you know, I remember the experience and the choices

137
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: we made. But the decisions we made we made for

138
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: certain reasons and we thought they were the right decisions.

139
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: What impacted what how? In terms of us not playing

140
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: our best football that day, It's really hard to say,

141
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: you know what the cause and effect was. We just didn't,

142
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: you know, we didn't go out there and we didn't

143
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: do it, you know, And that's the thing that I

144
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: kind of take from.

145
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: It the most. Of course, you want to, you don't

146
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: want to. We want to be better.

147
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 2: We have to play way better than that in this

148
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: next game if we want to win so and we

149
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: do want to win so uh, but you got to

150
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: look at everything kind of in the in the from

151
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: the framework or through the lens of today this team

152
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: and the challenges that we're facing, and that's what we'll

153
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: try to do.

154
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 5: Gener along those lines.

155
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 8: What kind of easier philosophy you're weighing, you know, what

156
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 8: kinds obviously injuries that you know that it plays a part,

157
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 8: but waying the decisions on guys to play and how

158
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 8: much to play and so forth, versus versus.

159
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a really good question.

160
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: It's a little bit over stated just because you just

161
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 2: it's not like the preseason. We a bunch of guys.

162
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you have you have six spots to work with,

163
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: and there's gonna be probably somewhere in that range with

164
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: different guys who have injuries, you know, somewhere three, four, five,

165
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: six guys every week. That's how it is every week.

166
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: So it's not gonna be different this week, especially on

167
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: another short week. So that pretty much dictates for you, you

168
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: know what you're gonna do. So I don't really have

169
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: a philosophy. I think we'll probably make decisions. And the

170
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: good thing is I feel like the depth we have,

171
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: you know, like like we're doing an offensive tackle, we

172
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: can share time with guys, and that's a very valuable thing,

173
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: you know, So that comes into play as well. We

174
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: just look at all that, but we're gonna the team

175
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: we put out there, which is gonna be the team

176
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: we have.

177
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: It's our team.

178
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: It's gonna go out there and do everything they can

179
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 2: to win the game, play our best football game of

180
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: the season and win the game and gets a real

181
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: tough opponent.

182
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 9: John winning a super Bowl and making it to February

183
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 9: of the mottos for this team this season, how much

184
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 9: has Jackson and some of the others ask you about

185
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 9: what it felt.

186
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: Like and what it takes to when a super Bowl

187
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: be you have done?

188
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's not been part of our conversation. Our

189
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: conversation has been on the on the week at hand,

190
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: you know, framed up by the idea that we are

191
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: goals to go, want to know, and that's really all

192
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: we focused on.

193
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 8: I guess from the perspective of coaches staff communicating the

194
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 8: players in these past four weeks spend for you guys

195
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 8: in terms of getting ready to face.

196
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 5: These very unique, very challenging offenses.

197
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 9: And what it may be, you know, showed to you guys,

198
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 9: got how you can prepare how much how beneficial could

199
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 9: be in the playoffs.

200
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I don't I don't take any

201
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: great like takeaway from it, other than the fact that

202
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 2: it's what you do.

203
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: It's a process.

204
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: We have a defensive system that we continue to evolve,

205
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: you know, the offensive system that is new to us

206
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: but has evolved throughout the course of the season. Same

207
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: thing on special teams. And then you just try to apply,

208
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: you know, your system, your players, uh to the opponent

209
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 2: you're facing, you know, and just try to try to

210
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 2: do the best you can to take away what they

211
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 2: do well or to attack, you know, what they don't

212
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: do well, and to put your guys in position to give.

213
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 3: Them an advantage. I mean, we always seek advantages.

214
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: We always try to find ways to give our guys

215
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: some advantage in the play if we can to at

216
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: least be equal. And there's always gonna be sometimes that

217
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: guys are disadvantages because of the way it's set structured.

218
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: You might you might put the coverage over here and

219
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: over here, we're a little light and man you've got

220
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: you've got the ankle weights on. You know, you've got

221
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 2: to come through for us and and overcome the disadvantage,

222
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: you know. So, but we weigh all that out, you know,

223
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: with every every call or every scheme that we that

224
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: we do all three phases. I think our coaches do

225
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job of that. Everybody's got their area, you know,

226
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: and they just go through the process. And I will

227
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: say to your point that I think our coach has

228
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 2: done a great job of that. You know, I think

229
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: everybody in their area, you know, whether it's backed up

230
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: coach or the or the red zone coach or the

231
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 2: low red zone coach or whatever it might be, those

232
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: guys have all done a great job.

233
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 5: So change out after the game. There's we saw some

234
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 5: of the postgame celebration in that hot How would you

235
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 5: evaluate some of the dancing, some of the dance moves, Yeah,

236
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 5: dance moves.

237
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, I can I can say this. I think that

238
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: probably as I look at this crowd out here, you

239
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: all can probably relate to this. While I was dancing, okay,

240
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 2: I would thought it was pretty darn good. I mean

241
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: I thought it was impressive, you know, I mean I

242
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: thought I was.

243
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: Smooth, you know, rolling.

244
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: Then my daughter showed me later on tape and it

245
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 2: looked a lot like what happens at home when she

246
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 2: video takes me.

247
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: It wasn't too much different.

248
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 2: So, uh, I was a little bit disappointed. And the

249
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 2: when you know, the tape doesn't lie, I was a

250
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 2: little bit disappointed in the performance.

251
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 10: But uh, but you the other well, you know I

252
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 10: got low. Did you notice I was ever bed?

253
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot to be said for that.

254
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: But uh, but like I think my advice would be

255
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: to any any any young people who are working away

256
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 2: into with dancing at like dances and proms and things

257
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: like that. Here's my advice. It's like, don't be shy,

258
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: don't be afraid. Bring the energy, man, get off the wall,

259
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: get out there and dance.

260
00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 3: Bring the energy.

261
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 10: Doesn't matter what you look like it, but it's how

262
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 10: much fun you have, all right, No wallflowers, you.

263
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: Can have energy.

264
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 8: Ill back and obviously had a huge catch yesterday. He's

265
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 8: had some games down the stretcher where he's played really well, obviously,

266
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 8: and I'm curious what aside from him he had the field,

267
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 8: what what's his impact been? Particularly is we get to

268
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 8: this part of the season for a guy who's been there,

269
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 8: done that, right.

270
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I think he I think that part of

271
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: the leadership part is really good. I mean, Dell's leadership

272
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: is been outstanding and he's a he's a real relational

273
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: type leader. Uh he is, like to the point, he's

274
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: been there, he's done that, He's been in these big games.

275
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: He's had great success, you know. I mean, he just

276
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 2: he knows, he knows what takes, you know. And uh

277
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: so I do think he's he's with the guys, he

278
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: encourages guys, really was very encouraging kind of a leader.

279
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 5: Uh.

280
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: The other part of it, though, is his ability to

281
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: make plays. I mean, to me, he's a major factor

282
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: out there. I mean, people are, they're they're they're giving

283
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 2: him attentions. He's there, They're man, sure they cover him,

284
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: and he's he's coming up with the ball.

285
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 5: You know.

286
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 2: So he's a guy that could break out and have

287
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 2: ten catches in any time in a game, or he

288
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: has the one that makes a huge difference in the game.

289
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 5: You know.

290
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: That's really kind of one of those great Odell Beckham

291
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 2: type of catches.

292
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 9: Man.

293
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, you know.

294
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 10: So, uh, he's he's a.

295
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: He's a factor, a big factor.

296
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,119
Speaker 5: John on that video of the postgame shot Baby.

297
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 4: Kind of looked kind of emotional when he's talking about

298
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 4: how much the team means means, don't just talk about

299
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 4: the strides he's made, just you know, how hes you know,

300
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 4: not everything's got his way this year totally, but it

301
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 4: seems to you know, his attitude and all that.

302
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think Rashad like he's been through

303
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 2: so much adversity personally with the with basically the injuries,

304
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: you know, high pick, you know, high expectations, and then

305
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: fighting through injuries, fighting through injuries, you know, and then uh,

306
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 2: and then this I think this year kind of that

307
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: settled out kind of early season and then just grinding

308
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: every single day, going to work, stacking practice is knowing

309
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 2: at some point in time and yeah, disappointing sometimes after games,

310
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 2: you know, you know, maybe maybe the Dan gets may

311
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 2: balls he wanted or you know, maybe he didn't make

312
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: a catch he wanted to make, yet not letting him

313
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: get it, not letting that get him down, you know,

314
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: and uh, and knowing a big day was coming. You know,

315
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't he wants me to tell you, but I

316
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 2: told him, I said man, I said, he came to me.

317
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 2: I saw him Friday. I said, you know, big game,

318
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: bait Man, It's gonna be a big game for bait,

319
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 2: and and he came up with some massive catches for us,

320
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: kept some drives going. I think that's just a prelude

321
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: to what's coming.

322
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 4: Because times was around a time at this point, just

323
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 4: because I mean, you have imagine he did the long land,

324
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 4: but you still't have.

325
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 5: To retire it off.

326
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I honestly, it's hard for me to say. It's

327
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: not something I'm directly involved with every single day Medically.

328
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: Eric's involved with that with the team, doctors and stuff.

329
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: So I don't know if I could really add anything

330
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 2: to it that would be helpful.

331
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 6: Reason meets big plays. Obviously Thailand's return. You know San

332
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 6: Francisco there's a long punt return lead in the game yesterday.

333
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: What do you think has really kind of come together

334
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 6: for the special team sceneit where they're making this splash plays.

335
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, the old thing, Preparation meets opportunity, and those

336
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 2: guys have been out there practice. You see them every day.

337
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: They practice for early and they they work hard. And

338
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 2: that return, that particular return we've been working on for

339
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: about six weeks and it's a little you know, cutback

340
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: return that we had and it was executed beautifully.

341
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: Good celebrations home court. Is it throughout the season to

342
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 5: have those moments of fun and do you feel like

343
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: through something different about the culture of the slabern this year.

344
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 3: It's a good question.

345
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: I think this is a really special, mature team, a

346
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: team that really has is connected, is really emotionally. You know,

347
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: there's a lot of bonds there. I think they love

348
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 2: each other, I really do. I think there's a strong

349
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 2: brotherhood family. It's a family type of a team, and

350
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 2: they're genuinely happy for one another when they do well.

351
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: And so when they do well, you know.

352
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 2: Opportunity they're able to celebrate it because they're really happy

353
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: for each other, you know. And that was what you saw,

354
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: you know, especially in a moment like that, a defining

355
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: moment when you win a division title. I mean, it's

356
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: a big deal in the National Football League to win

357
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: a division championship. It's really hard to do. Everybody's really

358
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 2: good our division, especially you know, so our guys. It

359
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: was great to see what guys think it likely is again.

360
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 5: To the point where you see him make these big

361
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 5: clutch plays, and it's like, okay, you're kind of almost

362
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 5: it's expected now for him to kind of be in

363
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 5: that situation and produce.

364
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: Do I expect it?

365
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 10: Of course?

366
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, just not really a surprise anymore.

367
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 5: It's calling it always like, yeah, that's kind of what

368
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 5: he does now.

369
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, funny, the guys that see

370
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 2: in practice every day were kind of like, hey, you

371
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: know what you been waiting for. You know, he's been

372
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: that way since he got here, kind of making those

373
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: kinds of plays. But yeah, just the experience, the game

374
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: playing experience, I think is really kind of has gotten

375
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: to the point where he's been able to take it,

376
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: take that, get the confidence out there and say hey

377
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: I can really do this in big games.

378
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 3: He's been he's been great. You know, it's been It's

379
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: been fun to watch.

Speaker 2: I turned around like, oh, you know, you had that

382
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: smile at Todd's that grinch smile that he's got there,

383
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: you know, and he was all happy, you know, Yeah,

384
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: it was great, It was great.

385
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 3: It was fine. It was fine.

386
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: That and Travis Switzer, all those guys, Craig Versus, all

387
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: those guys are down there, so it was cool, be

388
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: fast about this.

389
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 9: Guy before, But Kyle Annoys had a new single season

390
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 9: career sacks numbers, Jenny Clowney's one sack from setting a

391
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 9: time of personal best.

392
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: What about this team and this unit allows them to

393
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 5: foster that kind of success.

394
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think that I don't know that's a good

395
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: question for those guys, but I do think our system

396
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: is built in such a way as we are equal opportunity,

397
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: you know, uh, scheme builders. I guess you could say,

398
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's set up for it's set up

399
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 2: for everybody. You know, everybody can do something. You know,

400
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: do your job really great, you know. But it's also

401
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: and you try to put guys. Those guys are in

402
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: position and they do their job really and they play

403
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: super hard. I mean it's really them, you know, they're

404
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: the one making the plays. So I think they deserve

405
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,199
Speaker 2: the credit. I hope they get their records, man, I mean,

406
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: let's go, let's smash those records.

407
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: That's the goal, all right, as clinching the Once.

408
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: You make it easier to watch Michigan.

409
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 2: Coples gonna say it again, you know, once you make

410
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 2: it easier, that's a good question. Yeah, sometimes you gotta

411
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: be able to do two things at once, but I

412
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: will have an eye on that game and probably two

413
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,919
Speaker 2: eyes in that game, you know, for that period of time.

414
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 3: I have to admit that, Yeah, it's gonna be Go Blue, Man,

415
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:35,240
