WEBVTT - John Harbaugh: Monday Press Conference (9/11) 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.320 Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens opened 0:00:06.360 --> 0:00:09.480 the season with a twenty five to nine victory over 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.400 the Houston Texans. It's good to start the year in 0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:14.760 the win column. Now, the flip side of that great 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.000 win is that they did suffer some significant injuries in 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.239 this one. They lost JK. Dobbins for the season with 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.240 the torn achilles and also dealt with a handful of 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.280 other injuries. On Monday afternoon, head coach John Harbaugh met 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.840 with the media for his standard Monday afternoon press conference, 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.239 and he updated the media about the status of those 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.920 players who dealt with the injuries on Sunday. 0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:42.000 Okay, first of all, I just want to make mention 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.040 of nine to eleven being today being nine to eleven. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.920 Most of us our age, we're a lot younger. Even 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.040 remember where we were on that Tuesday morning. I was 0:00:54.080 --> 0:01:00.080 in Philly game planning for a game. Good sir, I 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.840 beg it's the Giants. I'm not sure, but and just 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.760 happened to see the second one go in and something 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.920 you never forget. Been to the Memorial now a couple 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.120 of years ago, would highly recommend it to anybody and 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:15.000 everybody go spend as much time there as you can. 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:20.000 The stories are amazing and compelling. So for you know, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:24.800 for our country one important day that is as far 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.840 as the game, just really happy and please with the win. 0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.080 And I'd say the number one thing pleased with is 0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.000 the effort. The effort that our guys played with was 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.880 about as good as it gets. It was standard setting effort, 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:41.480 you know, in all three phases, and that was something 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.479 that you can hang your hat on and you can 0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.240 win with. And the physicality was there along with that. 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.640 So just really happy with that. Also the idea that 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.720 we we made plays that we had to make in 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.720 critical situations to win the game. I thought guys came 0:01:55.800 --> 0:02:01.000 up with plays, stops, conversions, touchdowns, getting the ball and 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.520 field goal range, making kicks, all the things, even punts. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.560 You know, you look at the Jordan's punt early on 0:02:07.640 --> 0:02:10.040 from backed up, I think he had a sixty sixty 0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:14.160 plus yard punt, fifty plus yard net, flipping field position 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.560 from your own ten yard line. That's pretty pretty great 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:20.160 play that you know, sometimes doesn't get noticed. So those 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:21.720 kind of players were made during the game. So really 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.040 happy with that. The things that we you know, is 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.160 obviously it's always this way after your first game, and 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:27.760 really it's this way after every game. But there's so 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.919 many things we have to work on, so many things 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.480 from an operation standpoint, both sides of the ball, and 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.840 special teams, execution standpoint, both sides of the ball and 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.840 special teams. Penalties, just way, way too many penalties. Too 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.760 many times we took chips and we put them back 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.440 in front of our opponent. You know, we don't want 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.560 to do that. We want to keep the chips, to 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.400 hoard the chips. You win with more chips, and we 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.480 don't need to be giving them things that are that 0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:54.400 are you know, caused by us not doing the things 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:57.040 we need to do quite the right way. So we'll 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:58.840 be looking at that real hard this week and looking 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:00.520 hard to improve in those areas. That's, you know, what 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.000 we refer to as winning football. So we'll be talking 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:07.160 about that. But individual efforts, uh, focus, playing hard. Want 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.600 to really proud of the guys and really proud of 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.840 the win against a good Houston team. I've said this 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.919 before and about certain teams early in the season. They're 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.360 gonna win a lot of football games this year. So uh, 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.480 you mark it down, you'll you'll see that's a good 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:22.440 young football team. 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.120 So what questions you have. 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.960 John, as far as injuries, Do you have any updates 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:31.680 one Marcus Marcus Williams running stally in Toyland. 0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:32.959 I do, I do again. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.960 I just confirmed JK he's going to have this the uh, 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.760 the Achilles surgery to repair that. And he texted me 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.600 last night after we texted back and forth and told 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.760 me not to worry. He'll be back better and stronger 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:50.520 than before. So here his spirits will be good. Marcus 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:52.920 has a peck injury. He's talking to consulting with the 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.560 doctors right now. He'll be out for a while. Uh 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.720 may not be a season ender though. Uh there's different 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.000 options that he has. So we'll keep you updated on that. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:03.960 And then it's soon because he'll have to make a 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.800 decision soon on a possible surgery there. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:10.640 Tyler has a has. 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:14.520 An ankle sprain, so i'd say week to week right now. Uh, 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:15.800 he may be out for this game. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:17.160 Uh. 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:21.000 Ronnie has a knee brain Uh, so again that'd be 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.040 kind of similar to Tyler right now. So we'll see 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:24.560 where those guys are at. But they could be out 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.000 this game, and we'll be counting on the guys if 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:33.720 they are out to step up and play. There's that 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.440 everybody any other injury questions. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:36.160 We're at it. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:43.960 Marlon has a shot. Yeah, thanks Jeff, He's got a shot. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.279 But depends, you know, it's uh, it's it's pretty early 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.719 in the process, but it's possible. 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.440 So we'll see same thing. Mark looks good, you know, 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:54.160 we'll see how he does. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.000 I would prefer those to the practice, actually to the 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.560 report probably is going to be your best indicator. 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.120 Was there any kind of stuff that Mark Price kind 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:04.919 of like say how he would play? 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:06.960 Yeah, just you'd never know. I don't. I don't know. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.680 It's just somes. We hoped he'd make it, couldn't make 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.440 it to the game. We were trying. He was trying, 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:15.800 just didn't didn't get there. John. 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.640 Was there a point where Marcus Boyles tried to play through. 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:20.760 His injury during the game. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:24.040 There was, it happened. It happened. Uh, didn't really, he 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:26.800 didn't really realize what it was. It just kept bothering 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.720 him as he went. Made some plays too, played really, 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520 I mean, Marcus played greats. It's a tough one for us, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.440 There's no doubt, you know, and I'm disappointed that, you know, 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.239 Marcus Uh. All three of those guys are are great players. 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.240 You know, those are guys that were hoping to get 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.240 back uh in different times. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.440 But uh he. 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.280 Did, he played, he played some more plays, played well 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.160 in those plays, and then just you know, it was 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:46.920 really bothered him. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.560 He had checked out and that's what they found in 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:50.400 his position again. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.679 But you still played and filled in for Marcus pretty 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.440 extensively last year when he's on the list. 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.039 That helped you a little bit in terms of knowing what. 0:05:58.080 --> 0:05:58.560 He takes back. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:00.440 Well, yeah, were still gonna play great defense. 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:02.560 I mean I feel really still really good about our defense, 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.200 you know, because Gino is going to be Gino. You know, 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:05.760 he's not going to try to be Marcus. He's going 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.839 to play the way he plays, and he's proven he 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.120 can play very well back there. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:10.960 So got all the conference in the world. 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.600 And Gino and Darryl Worley and anybody else we might 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.440 bring in here, We've got some options. So but those 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.320 those guys, especially Gino who's done it before, Yes, one 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:24.760 hundred percent, all the conference in the world, Geno, I know. 0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.520 Patrick McCard went in and tackle once Ronie went. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.520 Now, is that kind of the player that stayed with him. 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:30.760 Yeah. 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.480 Yeah, Patrick's our backup tackle both sides, and uh, you 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.520 know Patrick's played a lot of football, so you know 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.719 he'll play well. Also, it's uh, it's not the guy 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.000 that we can we're concerned with in terms of how 0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:41.520 well he'll play. 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:42.200 He'll play well. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.880 And Tyler, I mean, is it is it you can 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.760 look back and say, well, I'm really glad to really 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:47.880 get Musterer on the press. 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:53.599 Absolutely right, and Sam did a good job as your father. 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.920 Melan Gordon will be well up from the practice fund when. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.000 He's outside of the organization for running back happened before. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.920 Now, I think that we're good. I like the guys 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:03.360 we got. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.320 Melvin is gonna you know, he's here for a reason 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.000 and uh certainly didn't expect it to be this quick, 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.600 but uh, that's why he's here, and that's why he 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.760 wanted to stay here, I think because you know, he 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:15.640 likes it here, you know, and he likes the offense, 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.440 and he likes the the the environment. And uh, he's 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:20.880 a heck of a talented guy. He saw him in 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.640 the preseason. He's he's a proven back. So I'm very 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:25.800 very glad that he's here. 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.880 So I'm sorry John that was when you say you're good, 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.240 you don't foresee looking outside the organization? 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.760 No, I mean, you know, no, I don't. That's not 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:35.520 what I'm looking to do. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.600 But you know, if you want to ask Eric what 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.640 his thoughts are, give him a call. 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.800 John Wan with JK Domans, I think everyone kind of 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.280 knew that it was going to be the lead back 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.280 into the season. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.440 JK was gonna be the lead back going into the season. 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.200 Now that he is, he's done for the year, how 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.880 do you foresee it? Do you feel it will be 0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:58.840 a kind of committee between those three eyes? 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:01.520 Yeah, that's just I wouldn't even I wouldn't have put 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.840 it in those terms before, and so why would I 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:05.840 answer the question in those terms after? You know, we've 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.920 got backs. We play our backs, they all play, they 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.640 play well. We love our backs, We love all of 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.920 our guys, and you know, it's just just nowadays NFL 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.640 is a lot of guys have to play. I think 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.240 that's pretty clear. You know, and your ole guys, you 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.320 play personnel groups. There's a lot of strategy to it, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.680 and all every single guy in your roster's got to 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.560 be able to win for you as a starter, you know, 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:27.840 And so I pretty much can see you consider all 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.960 the guys starters really if just being truthful about it, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.480 and they all have to be able to play that well. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:33.960 They're on the team for a reason. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:35.960 You know, it's because they're good enough to do it, 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:38.000 and so and all those backs are going to play 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:38.440 quite a bit. 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:43.200 Coach about JK, A lot of the players seem visibly 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.400 affected by the news of his injury. What is your 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:50.200 general message to the team when an injury impassed? 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:53.120 The players like that really don't have a general message. 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:55.920 You know, the message is understood. The guys understand it. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.400 I think you know you you You were also probably 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.440 hearing the question the way they answered the quesquestions, and 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.480 then they answered it in that sense, they understand what 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.239 it means and kind of goes back to the last 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:09.520 conversation in terms of all everybody's a starter, and now 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.240 now certain guys get opportunities to step up and show 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.360 what they can do, and we'll be counting on those 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.800 guys to do a great job. And I know they 0:09:15.840 --> 0:09:19.880 will so disappointed when injuries happened, Excited for the guys 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.960 who get an opportunity, and you move forward because the 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:22.720 games keep coming. 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.079 Jo Staying with the running backs, Justice Hill. You talked 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:28.960 about him a little bit as a guy who's you know, 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.800 he's viene or one and always done well on special teams, 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.319 but seems like whatever he's asked to do something that's 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:36.400 kind of stuff there and now you may have a 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:37.920 chance to play a bigger rules will come. 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.960 Back, right, Matt Cliff, you know, obviously is the way 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.400 he's played speaks for itself, right. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:43.760 I mean, you guys have seen him play. 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.200 The fans have all seen him play now through the years, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:49.320 but also in the preseason and yesterday, So I don't 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.079 think it needs any explanation. You've got tremendous confidence in 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:54.920 Justice Hill. He's he's a very good running back, he's 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.640 a very good all around player, and it's going to 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:58.839 be a great opportunity for him. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.040 We talked to the offensive guys after the game. I mean, 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.520 like Saylor said, for being honest with ourselves, we probably 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.679 didn't execute it up to our standard. Up Marsenter or Rusty. 0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.760 I mean, when you looked at the table, did you 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.319 see a lot of things where things were maybe just 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.240 off For what was your kind of broad take on offense? 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.679 Absolutely, absolutely, a lot lots of little things, even communication, 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.120 just the way we were operating. It was, you know, 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:23.839 it was it was up and down, you know, it 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.760 was a little spotty. We had some really good moments, 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.600 many good moments, but we also had many not good moments, 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.480 you know. And just being on the same page where 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.319 we were lined up, timing up motions, getting out of 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:38.439 huddle as quickly as you wanted to at times, route running, 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:42.640 blocking schemes, which linebacker we were working towards. Uh, there's 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.760 there's just a myriad of things that go into playing 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:48.199 a football game and operating offensively or defensively, and special teams. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:50.760 It's it's there's a. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.439 Lot of moving parts, you know, and we've got to 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.240 get the parts moving more in sync, you know. And 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:57.880 it's early in the season, it's not unexpected, but I 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.880 promise you we want to be chasing perfection. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:00.280 Man. 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:00.880 We we don't. 0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.040 We really don't want to be not hitting on all 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:05.920 gears at any time, and so we'll be working really 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:08.319 hard to get better in all those areas this week. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:10.439 Our guys are the guys. That's what the tone in 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.640 the locker room was last night. For sure. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.480 I think he probably saw that child, you know, with 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:18.240 your questions. The guys know it, and they're excited to 0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.920 get to work and and get better and keep keep building. 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:24.559 Already a lot of optims got around the door. 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.640 But he played. 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.120 He played all but set and snaps know he needs 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:31.320 to move. 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:34.000 Yeah, definitely. Well, I thought he played really well. 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.400 And uh, I think, well, you know, I guess if 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.920 the if the underlying question is did you want to 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.920 play him that much? You know, and will you playing 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.480 that much going forward? It's like we we we got 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:45.520 a good guy in rock you know, also got in 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:47.880 there late. I think he's gonna be a lot stronger 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.520 this week too, so we'll have a chance to play 0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:51.280 to roll our guys in, you know, and then when 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.240 Marlin comes back, we're gonna be feeling good about our 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.480 situation there. But yeah, I thought Ronald played really good, 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.120 especially given you know, like you said, coming back off 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:01.160 an injury, you kind of forget that it even happened 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:02.200 that that recently. 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:02.959 He looks good to me. 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.440 I mean, I'm really really happy he's on our Team's 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:09.760 a great guy. He plays, super hard competitor, you know, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.160 just our kind of guy who came back and played 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:17.559 some biggers. Uh, you know, his way back to the 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:18.240 Bolvar Rose. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.480 It was an accursion to see and made a few 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:21.320 catches and you. 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:25.560 Know, yeah he did. 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.120 He shot played really well, made the big catch over 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.840 the middle, down hidding into the red zone and blocked 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.199 really well all the receivers did you know. 0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:34.520 I think he was just kind of excited to be 0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:35.040 back out. 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.160 There and and be fighting in a game, you know, 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.360 And uh, there's a lot of great days ahead of 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:40.160 a shot for sure. 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:43.640 I think there was only one. 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:47.439 Designed rush for tomorrow yesterday, and it was the huge 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.120 stinked Is that just something that's kind of a wed 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.920 even drive to drive insiduation, just. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:53.280 How to get him involved, And. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.360 Well, yeah, I mean that is, but there was more 0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.520 than that in the in the plans, so there were 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.520 there were more than that call. It wasn't the only 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:05.080 one quarterback sneak. So he's reading a lot of those, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.240 a lot of those runs out, but some of them 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.120 are a pos, some of them are have a have 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:13.000 a quarterback run element in him as well, So there 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:16.719 were numerous ones in there actually, So I think it 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:18.320 will be week to week, yes. 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:20.319 And uh, he's gonna have to be. 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:22.520 He's someone that that is an element of his game 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.199 that defenses are going to have to account for for 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:28.120 sure Jonas every week. I mean you know that they're 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.000 they're gonna have to They're gonna have to count for 0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:34.840 him both out of the pocket extending plays and also, uh, 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:36.840 you know with the QB driven plays, and we've got 0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:37.920 a myria out of those plays. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.560 We saw Bill get quite a lot of them. Snaps yesterday. 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.280 Was that how much was that playing? 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:52.439 How much was that play? Yeah, I mean I think 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:54.080 it's both, you know, I mean kind of way it goes. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.360 But he's a starting wide receiver, so he played like 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:58.439 a starting wide receiver, played a lot of plays healthy, 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:00.880 I'm excited to be out there, and uh, you know 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:03.280 that's going to translate. He had a couple of big catches, 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.520 I mean a huge catch at the end that got 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.679 some field goal range that was a kind of put 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:09.760 the separation in the in the lead that we needed. 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.080 Uh, big pass interference you know that he drew because 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:15.560 the way he ran his route and got open. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.800 I thought he was a factor out there. Another guy 0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:19.840 that blocked exceptionally well. He was into the game. He's 0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.600 playing physical. Uh, it was fun to watch him play 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:24.200 and uh, you. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:28.920 Talked after the game yesterday he raised McDonald for being 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:33.000 throw something into put these guys in physicians and see 0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:33.800 as a pass rusher. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.120 Hear that echo. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:39.000 I got the guys who just teaching ability and you 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.760 know obviously had a great year last year. But when 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.480 you were going through the process of interviewing him til 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.440 years back, he'd obviously been in his ability. Did you 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:48.960 know that he would be you know that care year, 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:51.760 that that good teacher afore this job, and you kind 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.440 of will go through that process for him. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.400 Yeah, that's why, that's why, that's why he got the job, 0:14:56.720 --> 0:14:58.920 you know, and had been with him, you know for 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.400 many years. He big basically grew up here as a 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:05.320 coach and he's, uh, you know, we have a great 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.200 coaching staff. You know, it's I think Mike's a good 0:15:08.240 --> 0:15:11.640 example of the coaching staff. But he's young, and he's smart, 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:15.400 and he's very determined and turns over every stone and 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.400 comes up with ideas, but he also vets his ideas 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.040 and not just his ideas. He's collaborative, you know with 0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.320 the guys, and got a great staff. I mean, Anthony Weaver, 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.120 you know you're not going to find a better leader, better, better, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.280 better defensive coach than Anthony Weaver. He's going to be 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:32.200 a head coach very soon. Zach Orr heck of a 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:34.800 young linebacker coach. I mean, Zach gets those guys rolling 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:35.840 and teaches details. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:39.720 At the same time. You know, Denard. We added Denard 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:40.280 from Philly. 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:43.440 He's he's added so much, you know, to the secondary 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.920 in terms of ideas and technique coaching. And there's also 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.040 very demanding coach along with Chris Hugh, he's been here 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.080 many years, coordinates our past defense, just does a phenomenal 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.880 job with that. I mean, Chris Hue at Thenard Uh, 0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:56.960 you know Zach. Eventually these guys are all going to 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.720 be coordinators and head coaches. And then Chuck Smith. Adding 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.680 Chuck to the defensive side was big, and I think 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.120 you saw, you know, kind of the energy that those 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.560 guys brought to the pass rush, right and Chuck des 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:07.920 there's a lot of credit for that, and he does 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.240 a phenomenal job with those guys. So I think I 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.720 got everybody on the defensive staff. There's more guys younger, 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.800 you know, they'll wait their turn, but we've got a 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.400 phenomenal staff. And I'd say the same thing about the 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.480 offensive staff and the special team staff. So you questions 0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.480 about Mike, but I turn it to the whole group. 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:25.320 It's a great coaching staff. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:29.760 John, Now it is. 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.200 There's a ton of injuries league wide yesterday. And you 0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:34.960 know how it is with injuries, people a reason for him. 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.480 Whether it's a field, whether it's preseason preparation, whether it's 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:40.960 how hard teams are practicing. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:42.960 There always has to be a reason for them. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:47.240 From your perspective, when you have four guys go down, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.760 do you feel like you're damned if you do or 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:52.840 damned if you don't. As a coach that it's just 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:55.040 inevitable at times that whether you're playing guys in the 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.320 preseason or you hold them out, it's kind of inevitable. 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:00.440 Or how do you kind of process when you have 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.360 such a hard day like that Nasry form? 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:05.280 Well, I think I've learned that that there is no answer. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.320 You know, if there was an answer, then that that'd 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.600 be what it would be what everybody's doing. Uh, you know, 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:14.080 you you practice guys, and you know you don't practice 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:15.960 guys you play them the preseason or you don't play 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.120 them the preseason, and injuries happened and that's the reason. 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:19.560 And would you do the other thing, it's like being 0:17:19.600 --> 0:17:20.400 on a hamster wheel. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.240 You know, you're on the hamster wheel and not getting anywhere. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.560 And really that's kind of how this injury whole, big 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:29.400 this injury conversation is going in the NFL. I think 0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:33.000 progress is being made for sure, but you know, looking 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.200
