1 00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Well that was um, you know again, I thought, really 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: good effort buy our team today, coming off the short week. Um, 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: it's really those guys did a really good job getting 4 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:12,039 Speaker 1: ready for the game. Um. You know, I thought we 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: were able to start fast and played a good tempo early. Um. 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: You know, three turnovers and three plays was pretty you know, 7 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: pretty good there for the defense. And I thought we 8 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: played well in the kicking game. You know, had a 9 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: couple of good field position plays, good hit on punk coverage, 10 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: almost got another ball out, and you know, made some 11 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: big plays offensively. Um, a couple of big pass plays 12 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: down the field of field, screen pass and you know 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: we're able to you know play from a head in 14 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: this game, which was a you know good thing. So um, 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: you know, this guy's really grounded out this week. Like 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: I said, had a good week of preparation. Thought we 17 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: were you know, well prepared for the game. You know, 18 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 1: played played a tough game. Cleveland's a very explosive team, 19 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: and you know they certainly gave us some problems, um, 20 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, both sides of the ball. But you know, 21 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 1: in the end, the turnovers, um, you know, an opportunity 22 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: of our ability to capitalize on those was really good, um, 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: and and kind of the difference really excellent, great play 24 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: by high Tower. Um, you know, coming out on the 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: on the strip fumble and um, you know Van Noy 26 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: played that, played that play well and so it was 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: getting good team defense. So I don't good to be eight. No. Um, 28 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: you know the Raven's been off for a couple of weeks. 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: So there boy, I'm sure they'll be ready to go 30 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: be tough next week. But good too, good to get 31 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 1: this one. I raise you. Uh, you just won your 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: three hundredth game. It's curious how quickly do you turn 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: your attention to trying to get number three? Oh one? Yeah, 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: pretty quick. Um. Now it's a great, um privilege to 35 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: coach this team and to coach the guys that I've 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: coached throughout my career. UM. Fortunately adn't playing any of 37 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: those games. That's a good thing for us. But I've 38 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: had a lot of good players, a lot of great players, 39 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: and you know they're the ones that winning games, and 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: that a lot of great assistant coaches, UM on my 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: staff through um you know when's it Cleveland and certainly 42 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: here so UM, you know I was a part of 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: those but you know, honestly, a players. Players win games 44 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: in this league, and I've been fortunate coach a lot 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: of gravelines. Bill. I'm sure you don't want to labor 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: too much the accomplishment, but I do want to ask, 47 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: is it is there a particular emotion? Is it somewhat humbling? 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: You mentioned the players right away, and you've talked in 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: the past about how hard you can be to play for, 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: how difficult it is, how much you ask of players, um, 51 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: rainy daylight today, or as efficient as you are. It's 52 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: I wonder if that's what your emotion is, if any 53 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: on this. Yes, I mean, it looks always good to win. Um, 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: you know, it's good to beat Cleveland, it's good to 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: beat anybody. It's tough league to win in. So um, 56 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: I'm proud of what the guys did, proud of what 57 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: this team accomplished today. And yeah, but we got bigger 58 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: goals ahead, and um, you know the Ravens are gonna 59 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: be tough next week. I don't care about this game 60 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: or what I did or what anybody else did, so 61 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: you know we're gonna have to turn a page quickly 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: and move on to ball more. I built congratulations on 63 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: the number three hundred um, talk about Jonathan Jones play 64 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: he did in the first quarter there. Yeah, it was 65 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: a great play. Um. You know, John's really fast, he 66 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: plays a great effort all the time, and you know 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: he's made so many big plays for us in the 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: four years that he's been here. But that was a 69 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: that was a tremendous play. You know, he just tracked 70 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: chubbed down and you know time the slap perfectly and 71 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure who got the ball, but it 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: was you know, getting it out was half the battle, 73 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: and recovering it was the other half the battle. But um, 74 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: you know I thought our the defense as a team, 75 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: our effort hustle on that play, Um, you know, really 76 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: speaks to the level of commitment that those guys have 77 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: out there for each other and for the team. So 78 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: you chase a back like shub fifty sixty yards downfield, 79 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: not the ball out and recover it and you know 80 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: it was a huge play, kind of a demoralizing play, 81 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: but it would be a you know, a big play 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 1: for us, and you know it really just goes to 83 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: our I don't know us in their efforts. Great played 84 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: by John. Um. How did Sunoo do this week? Cramming 85 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: and fitting in and learning everything good. He worked really hard. 86 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 1: He spent a lot of extra time with um everybody, 87 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: especially Joe on Troy Um, but you know obviously Josh, 88 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: Tom on other receivers, m Phil and Jewels and you 89 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: know those guys. So um that he worked hard and 90 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: I thought he you know, gained a lot of um 91 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: brown on the offense. Um, hopefully he'll be further ahead 92 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: next week. But UM, you know glad, I'm glad glad 93 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: he is here, and you know, hopefully he'll be able 94 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: to continue to contribute for us. I just want to 95 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: ask you about the offensive line. Obviously a lot of 96 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: guys going in and out. Just how do you feel 97 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: about the state of the offensive line right now? And um, 98 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: were you kind of proud of the guys at least 99 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: having some new faces in there? And still yeah, absolutely, 100 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: And that's a good defensive line right there. I mean, 101 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: they're they're good inside, they're good outside. I'd say great outside. 102 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,039 Speaker 1: Probably as good as anybody will. We will play certainly 103 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: in but we have played. I mean, um, they're tough, 104 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: but you know, our guys battled in there and it 105 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: wasn't perfect, but we stood an errand and battled with him. 106 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: You know, James stepped in for Shock and you know 107 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: it was big for us, and you know Ted's done 108 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: it all year and you know Marshall's done it for Isaiah. So, um, 109 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta give us guys a lot of credit. 110 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,559 Speaker 1: They work hard, they're tough, and you know they keep fighting. 111 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, it's not perfect all the time, but 112 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: it never will be against a defensive line like that. 113 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: They just they compete hard. Bill. It's not every day 114 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 1: you see a third and ten screen pass goal for 115 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: fifty nine yards and a big spot in the game. 116 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: Would you see on the play call from Josh McDaniels 117 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: and also the execution, Yeah, great call. You know they're 118 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: man coverage and you know line Baker got picked off 119 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: going across the field on the screen and you know 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: James made a great run. We had some good downfield 121 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: blocking too that you know, probably added another fifteen or 122 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: twenty yards I don't know to it, something like that, 123 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: so as well executed. Um, you know, we worked hard 124 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: on the screen game all year and we've had some 125 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: we've had some big plays on it. So really that 126 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: was a big one and key time in the game. 127 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: It really changed though, you know, obviously changed the field position. 128 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: You know, give us a put us, give him, give 129 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: us an opportunity to get a hit early in the game, 130 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: which was good. Bill. How much of the effect did 131 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: the rain have on today's game, and specifically, how does 132 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: it when it's raining all day like it did today. 133 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: How different does the rain have an effect on when 134 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: it's a turf field where it's more of a slick 135 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: condition or as opposed to a grass field as like 136 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: in Washington or Pittsburgh. Yeah, well, I mean it, you know, 137 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: I'll just stick to this field because what it was today. 138 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: It was because of the rain all afternoon. The field 139 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: was very wet, and I'd say it was slick. So 140 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: footing was a problem. M certainly, ball handling was an issue, 141 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 1: and it was tough. It was tough in pregame warmups. 142 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of I would say mishandled balls. Um. 143 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: I noticed some by them, definitely by us. Kicking was 144 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: an issue. The wind was I think stronger in the 145 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: first pregame warm up in the part of the first half, 146 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: maybe first quarter, than it was at the half. After halftime. 147 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: After half time really wasn't bad. It seemed a kind 148 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: of light drizzle, the wind kind of died down, and 149 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was much of a much of 150 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: an advantage. Um. It blew more towards our sidelines. That 151 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: affected the direction of the planning a little bit and kicking, 152 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: but UM, overall, I thought it was, you know, minimal 153 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: in the second half. First half, I thought it was 154 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: a big factor. It was hard to hard to handle 155 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: the ball, hard to catch it, hard to tackle. You know, 156 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: we missed some tackles, and it's it's always hard to tackle, 157 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 1: and you know, you're a wet A guy you're tackling 158 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 1: is wet, and especially when he's a good runner like Chub, 159 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: you know, who's strong and physical and you know can 160 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: run through some of those tackles. So he did a 161 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: good job of that. And UM, but it was, you know, 162 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 1: it was definitely a factor in the game, no question 163 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: about it. Last question, Oh, we know you offense into 164 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: your best corner to cover their second best receiver.
