WEBVTT - Andrews, Likely & Others: Ravens Press Conferences 9/12/24 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.520 Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Thursday, 0:00:05.559 --> 0:00:08.760 September twelfth, and the Ravens are preparing for Sundays home 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:12.200 opener coming up against the Las Vegas Raiders. As we 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:13.760 get ready for that game, today we had a chance 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.840 to hear from the coordinators, so let's kick things off 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:17.640 of Special teams coordinator Chris Horton. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:23.920 Good to see everyone. Hope everyone's doing well today. 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:26.599 I thought we had a really good two days, just 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.040 really trying to really focus up so we can go 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.280 out and put our best foot forward. Thought from the 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:33.960 game just you know, in the very limited amount of 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.880 plays that we played, I thought our guys played hard, 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.839 they played physical. There's always some things that we're going 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.080 to continue to work on, so we could just really 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:43.600 try to improve how we go out there. 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.520 Weekly questions with your. 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.800 Personal pression In the new kickoff of yours. 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.680 You know, I like the play. I think it's a 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:54.680 it's an opportunity. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.000 I said this before you know there's a there's a 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.400 ball being kicked off and there's a ball being tackled. 0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:00.640 That's that's football. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:03.120 So you know, anytime that could happen, you give the 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.319 guys on the field an opportunity to go play a play. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.479 Those guys are fired up, they're excited, So I feel 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:08.479 pretty good about the play. 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.679 That to be a little bit of an overreactor here, 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:12.160 but it doesn't. 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.000 Didn't seem like there was a lot of difference in 0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:16.560 the Chiefs certainly seem more willing to give up that 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.200 thirty yards on the kickoffs. I mean, do you think 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.760 that will change based on situations in various you know, 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:26.200 scores or games. 0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:26.760 You know. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.640 I can't really speak for the other teams across the league. 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.839 I think I said this last week. Every team's gonna 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.760 be different. Every team's gonna do what they feel is 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:36.840 best for their team, or they're gonna do what they 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.199 think they want to do right for the other coaches. 0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:39.840 But I think for. 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.520 Us, any chance, any chance we get, I think to 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.360 play the play. If I feel good about what we're 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.039 putting out there, we'll continue to play the play. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.559 Chris, you guys have made just one of your last 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.560 six fifty yard plus field litt attempts. 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.400 Do you see any pattern to those, to the operations 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.560 on those kicks, any anything that you're concerned. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:57.040 About going forward? 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:58.000 Not at all. 0:01:58.160 --> 0:01:59.680 I don't think I don't think there's anything to be 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.480 concerns earned about. I think I think the thing with 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.760 Justin is, as always, let's just let's just play the 0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:07.880 next play, right, And I think I think when you 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.680 when you think about those those last six kicks, uh, 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.480 there's every kicks different, Every situation is different, right, every 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.560 every element is different. Obviously, the object is to get 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.840 the goal, get the ball between the goal posts, right. 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.560 So when something doesn't go right, I think I think 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.520 the one thing Justin does is he comes back, he 0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:25.720 looks at you see what could he. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:26.360 Have done better? 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.440 But I don't think there's anything to be to be 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:30.799 concerned about because I think every kick, when you look 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.520 at those misses, they're they're different. Every the someone were 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.640 sixty seven. Some are the end of the games, you know, 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.320 and things like that. So I don't like, again, I 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.239 don't think there's anything to be concerned about. He's in 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.520 a good spot. He's still a heck of a kicker. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.360 Chris, do you feel that there's concerns party? 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:51.400 Maybe the detection unit since point since a point point shoot, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:56.560 there's been four fifty plus attempts that loss anything makes just. 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.600 An entire operation. 0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:00.919 Again, No, not at all I think. 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:02.960 Uh, I think again, when you look at you look 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.640 at the situations. Uh, if it's a if it's a 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.280 colder day, right, the ball is gonna be a little 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.560 bit lower the ball, you know. So I think I 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.280 think for us man, we're just focusing on, like, obviously 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:14.120 being as good as. 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.400 We possibly can on that play. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:18.600 Uh, that's getting a getting a field goal, block, getting 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:19.119 upon block. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.600 Those those aren't things that we want to see. 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:23.800 Obviously there's something that might have happened in those situations, 0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.560 but I don't think there's any concern with protection or 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:27.239 anything like that. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.160 I think feels out. 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.160 I thought I thought Jordan was good. 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.079 You know, he had those two punts inside the inside 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.880 of the twenty, you know, and again we had very 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.560 we had very limited opportunities. 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:39.840 Right, and that's that's good. 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.240 I I encourage that if you're only punting the ball twice, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.680 that means your offense is moving the ball, right, So 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.880 I'm I'm encouraging that. But then when he does go 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:48.800 out there, he does it, he's doing a really good job. 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.640 I thought he had a great a great spring in 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.880 a great camp, and uh, I think that's gonna continue 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.280 to carry over the more opportunities he get on the field. 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.760 Up as defensive coordinator Zach. 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:07.680 For one, obviously you guys had the coverage mixed up 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.000 for on the second Touchhown was worthy. But how overall, 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:13.320 how do you think communication went as far as getting 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.200 the getting the call in the rope on and I 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.640 mean everything you guys like to do pre snap at 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:18.279 defensive line. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:18.560 I thought it. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:19.919 I thought it was all right. I don't think it 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.120 was good enough. I don't think it was up to 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.360 our standard. And you know, me personally, just I look 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.279 at it as a coach. You I look at yourself first, 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.760 so you know, I look I take full responsibility of that. 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.359 And you know, we look forward to the challenge of 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.160 responding and and doing things to our standard. But it 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.240 was okay, but you know here in Baltimore, okay, it 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.400 is not good enough. So you know, it's a learning 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.720 experience for for myself and for everybody, and we look, right, 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:43.840 we look forward to getting out their Sunday right in 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:44.360 our wrongs. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.200 Whatd you what did you learn from that experience? Obviously 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.800 the first time in that spot too, Like you just 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.279 said that, you sort of put it on some of 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:53.640 it on yourself. Would I guess what what's your biggest 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.960 takeaway from during the week one to week two. 0:04:56.640 --> 0:05:00.360 I'll just say, man, just you know, keep keep us simple, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.440 keep it simple, keep it simple. Felt like, you know, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.320 try to do too much in certain situations and you know, 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:05.840 cost us. 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:06.479 To play a little slow. 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:06.640 Man. 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:07.640 We got great players here. 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.680 Just allow him to go out there, play fast, do 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:11.279 their thing, and everything's gonna be alright. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.520 John pointed to the substitution in particular. Snowship. 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.159 Was that an area where you think you maybe could 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.159 have simplified a little bit or where did you come around? 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.880 Definitely, definitely we had we had we had a couple 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:21.840 of different personnel groups going in and uh credit to 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.400 the chiefs, they did some things that were kind of 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.640 messing with us a little bit. But I definitely feel 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.800 like the substitution, uh thing could definitely get cleaned up 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.600 because I look at it, like, you know, we cost us, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.800 uh two timeouts that we could've used towards the end 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.200 of the game that you know, offense could have used. 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.560 So it's it was, like I. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.919 Said, it was a learning experience and uh, something we 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:41.400 learned from. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:40.520 You know. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:44.360 Obviously not really surprised that that Trenton didn't play for 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:47.000 percentage that snaps the peak you did last year. 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.160 Still some really good players linking deflection inpourtant quarter. 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.440 You know, does the intention to get Trenton develop him 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:56.320 to a level where he can be sort of an 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.000 every every down linebacker. 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.360 Oh, definitely, definitely. I mean Trent did Turnt to the 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:02.080 heck of a job in the game. Like you said, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.800 he made some plays, especially in key moments that that 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.160 third downplay was big. Gave us a chance to u 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.320 uh go down either tie or win the game. And 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:11.200 I think, like you said, he's going into his second 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.640 year and he's gonna continue to play more and more 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:15.800 as we g as we get going, what do you wanna. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.479 See from him to get that trust. 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.480 And that then just keep coming out here working, Just 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:21.520 keep coming out here working. We got a lot of 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.200 good play, We got a lot of good players, and 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:25.160 you know a lot of them are gonna play. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:28.680 Similarly, we saw Neighborings play a little bit more on 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.200 defense trams as in the game, but not too much. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.080 What does he need to do to get more. 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.279 Of those stabs during just aside, tru uh Nig's gonna 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.680 They's gonna be fine. There's gonna play a lot a 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:38.599 lot of football, uh for us. Gona play a lot 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:40.479 of great football for us. So I think, just like 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.520 you said, just continue, Uh like I said with Trent, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.880 just continue to come in and continue to work. And 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:47.039 uh he played, he played. He played well in the 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.240 game as well. So uh, the better he plays, the 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.760 the more he's gonna be out there. But Nig's gonna 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.440 play a lot of football for us. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.640 I know there's a lot more to to it, but yeah, 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:58.560 what is it like to see a guy like David the. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.280 Job os or like wait. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:01.440 Birth the way he did kind of come out with 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.600 her for some pass or some success. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.400 For I'm I'm proud. I'm proud of uh job man 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.680 like job. All he's done is work so hard to 0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.120 get back. I mean he's came back earlier than what 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.200 uh people thought he was gonna be uh back, And 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:15.920 the biggest thing I said with him is just staying healthy. 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.160 He's he's very talented. When he plays, he's productive. You 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.280 guys saw that on uh last Thursday. So Uh, I 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.760 think he's been doing the heck of a job of 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:28.000 with his body, his mindset, approaching practice, approaching uh, his prehab, 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:29.920 making sure that he could stay as healthy as possible. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.200 And like I said, long as he's healthy and he's 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.320 on the field, he's he's gonna. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:34.240 Play real good football for us. 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.240 I think we got a just a glimpse of what 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.160 he could, uh, what he's gonna be for us this year. 0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.480 Render to him after getting that sack, and it's very us. 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:45.920 What has that? 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:47.360 I mean, it means a lot to him. 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.600 Man, You're gonna just imagine a guy who's who's come 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.440 in with high expectations, who hasn't been able to play 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.360 a lot for things that are out of his control. 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.400 I mean, you can't really control a lot of injuries 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.840 he's had, and for two years he's had to sit 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.240 on the sideline and watch and I'm pretty sure hear 0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.400 all the noise about about him and how he's not 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:05.880 been out there. So we love it. We love that 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.240 he expressed himself. We love that he was fired up. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.400 And he's already an energetic guy. So you know, after 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:13.240 that sack, IM pretty sure all the emotions just came 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.240 out of that. 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.680 He asked you and again into the game and then 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.960 what you expected it to be like your first game 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.000 in real game. Now you've done it. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.720 Are there any takeaways from the inside from the substitution stuff. 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.120 I would say that it happens faster. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.240 It happens a lot faster in the regular season than 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.720 the preseason, which I try to anticipate. But you know, 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.600 I have just said when you don't know until you know, 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.480 so now I kind of get a gauge of real 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.400 like regular season speed. And like I said, it's something 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:43.800 that I that I'm learning, I've learned, I've learned from 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 and look forward to, uh, you know, getting better this 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:47.520 this week coming up? 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:48.320 Is there's one the. 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:52.120 Relief thinking about sort of the curve of NFL offenses. 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:54.480 I mean, you're going against Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.400 in the Week one. It doesn't get more challenging than that. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.200 I mean, is there some relief from like, okay, like 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.439 e everything else. 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:01.800 I can handle. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.719 Nah, there's there's no relief. It's a week to week league, man, 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.080 And like I said, I respect every single player and 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.160 coach in this league, respect every offense in this league, 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:12.400 and every every game is different in its own so 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:14.520 you don't know, uh what you're gonna have to do 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.040 to to come away with a win in this game. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.560 So it's not a relief. Like you said, Uh, what 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.400 happened happened. Now we're looking forward to his next challenge. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.360 We know it's a good football team coming in here. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:27.880 They feeling probably the same way we felt after after losing, 0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.480 so U we we expecting UH them to give us 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:31.160 their best shot. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:32.280 Zach, talking about the. 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:35.119 Raiders they had, you know, they were pretty efficient offensively 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:36.400 except for the turnovers. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.199 I was you know, looking at their dose. 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.079 Do you think, all right, well, there's ways to help 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.080 maybe continue that, trying to force those or otherwise, you 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.840 know what, it's the key to trying to keep them 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:46.559 from being as efficient as they were. 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.400 Yeah, I think we have to. 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:50.199 We have to try to limit the ex limit the 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.679 explosive plays. Like we gave up too many exposive plays 0:09:52.720 --> 0:09:54.960 in in UH week one. We had to limit those. 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.560 They have great playmakers. We have to be able to 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.680 cover their skill and then stop the run. So I 0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.439 think we stopped to run and cover their skill obviously. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:04.679 You know you speak about Davonte Adams, he's one of 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.760 the top receivers in this league has and then you 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.640 know they got some good young pieces as well, good 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.080 running back, solid offensive line, So we have to limit 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:16.080 the explosive plays make them have to go to down 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.960 the field and make them have to dry drive the ball, 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.520 and then if the ball is in the air as 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.040 opportunities for us to take it away, we have to 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:22.559 take the football away. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.400 I think a lot of people when they took Bowers 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.640 kind of expected that they're to be a twelve personnel team. 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.480 But I think Bowers in Mayland got like fifteen snaps together. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.760 I guess what we're kind of stuck out to you 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.000 about maybe how they use their personnel in that week. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:38.080 One man, I thought they probably would play more twelve 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.760 personnel thirteen personnel, But like I say, it's week to week, 0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:43.480 so they could come out and flip the script this week. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:44.120 So we're preparing. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:46.559 We're preparing for that, We're preparing for what they did 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:47.560 in the first game as well. 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:57.599 We also heard from offensive coordinator Todd Munkett, well, with 0:10:58.040 --> 0:10:58.319 the new. 0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:01.920 Offensive line, it kind of helped up them one at 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:02.719 the first game. 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:06.040 The ship They're good. I'm excited moving forward, you know. 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:09.720 So there there's a lot to build off of really, 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.600 to be honest, with all the guys that played. 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.920 So often here week one and week two, especially for 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.960 young players, the root for improvement is really you often 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:20.920 see really big jumps. 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:21.680 Do you expect that? 0:11:22.720 --> 0:11:24.960 What I do? We saw it last year from US. 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:26.880 I can't speak to other teams, but I can speak 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:29.760 from the Texans games to the Bengals game on the road. 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:34.440 We were significantly better, significantly cleaner. Our operation was better, 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.920 our execution was better. Time will tell, but we had 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.360 a great practice today. So I'm excited to see you 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:41.680 know where we've come in a couple of days. 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:44.240 Tiger said, there was a lot. 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:44.640 To do at all. 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:46.679 What are some of the things that you saw that 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:49.079 making hopeful going into the two? 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.920 Just being cleaner, you know, that's probably as much as anything. 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:59.800 I mean, what makes it hard to stack plays? Penalties, 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.720 you know, missed assignments. Call's got to be better. I 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:08.080 got to do it better during the week because the 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.319 the points didn't match the yards, and you need to 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:10.760 have a match. 0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.760 It's it's about points, not about yards. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.880 It looked like Lamar was pre active before his snap, 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.599 but all the point and then you know, using the 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.720 pre snap weapons that he has available. I guess just 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.520 from your kind of view, how did he do and 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.360 getting you guys into that best play that. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:25.440 You have on the menu. 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.679 He was great. He was great. He did a great job. 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.760 Really tough environment, you know for all of us, you know, 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.680 to start the year off there loud, you know, silent cadence. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.480 I thought he did a great job. But although I 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:41.240 thought all the guys handled it, we weren't. We weren't 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.560 clean by any means where we want to be. But 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.679 from that standpoint, I thought he did a great job 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:46.760 and the guys did a great job. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:50.560 We were asking John earlier this week about Roger rose Garden. 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:52.920 He said, makes sense to kind of keep developing him, 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:57.560 especially in these early weeks. Obviously, I'm sure you worry 0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:00.520 about him basing an elite pass rushers, rushers like he 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:02.559 did against Chris Jones last week, but is it also 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.560 does the staff feel like it's part of the process 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:09.440 to expose him to some of these elite pass rushers. 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:10.360 Some of that. 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.400 Rodgers is going to be a heck of a football player. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.760 It's not a matter of if, it's just a matter 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.040 of when. So we got to continue to develop him, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:20.800 keep keep you know, getting him in the game. You know, 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.400 he's going to get out here every day and practice 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.680 against a really good defensive line. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.000 And We're going to continue to seek growth. 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.800 We really don't want any of our guys on an 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.760 island against a great pass rusher, so he's not the 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:31.400 only one. 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:32.800 We got to do a great job. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.760 Of change of protections and chipping and doing all the 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:36.800 things you have to do against some of the elite 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:37.640 players in this league. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:40.679 Her partnership kind of work the way you wanted it to, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:41.959 or Mark got double teamed a lot. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.080 So Lamar has a big game. 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.440 With Well, there was no thought that that's how it 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.200 would turn out. Did we intend on playing the tight 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:50.800 ends a bunch? 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:51.160 Yes. 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:56.240 Did we anticipate we'd have that amount of snaps? No, 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.600 you know, we didn't anticipate that, and that's not the norm. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.360 You're not gonna have eighty snaps or something like that 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:07.480 in a given game, you know, per se. But I 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.199 think we do a really good job of trying to 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.040 find ways to distribute the ball, and we're gonna have 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:14.360 to continue to do that. We've got a number of 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:16.800 excellent skill players that deserve to get the ball, and 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:17.720 that's what we're trying to do. 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.320 Sometimes the ball just finds them and sometimes the game 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:21.080 goes that way. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.200 You know, we didn't have a ton of two minutes. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.480 Last year, we had two in that game, you know, 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:27.720 and they were extended two minutes. I mean there was 0:14:27.720 --> 0:14:31.800 probably a total of fifteen snaps in two minutes, which 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.800 at that point, the whiteouts are happy and the running 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.440 backs aren't happy. And when you're winning, the running backs 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:38.120 are happy and the whiteouts aren't happy. So that's just 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.600 the way it goes now, I'll tell you. And that's 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.360 that's the way it works in this business. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:42.600 You know. 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:44.880 The good news is we have a lot of really 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.360 talented skill guys that they give you a lot of 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.640 you know, a lot of opportunity to move the spread 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:51.160 the ball round. 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.080 We also heard from offensive line coach George Warhawk. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.360 Tell us a little bit about when when we heard 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.600 you out there with the team, you had this. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:11.920 Call after you say hi you Yeah, that's a nervous tick. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.600 Oh that's a nervous that's just me being excited. Right. 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.320 So, uh, when we're an individual and we're going, I go. 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:22.600 If you notice, I'm right behind them when they're going. 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:24.480 So it's a nervous stick. I've had it for forever. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.760 But it's about being intent and playing with some intensity. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:32.560 Okay, George Obviously there's a very human element to what's 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.040 transpired the last month of you know, what has this 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.000 process been like for you as far as you know, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.200 the Ravens reaching out to you joining the team and 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.800 just you know, from a football standpoint, kind of joining 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.240 this in the in the midst of it already. 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:45.800 Yeah, being pretty ramped up. 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.560 That's that's a big question, first and foremost. I mean, 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.720 the situation was tragic. Uh, Joe and I were both 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.040 in the World League together. I'm not saying we were 0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:58.360 close close friends, but we're a very good acquaintances. If 0:15:58.400 --> 0:15:59.960 he had a question, he called me at calling back. 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.600
