<v Speaker 1>Welcome you to the Ravens Press Past Podcast. It is Monday,

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:09.000

0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:10.920
<v Speaker 1>to hear from head coach John Harbaugh.

<v Speaker 4>Do you have a special doment for story that kind

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 4>of stands out when you're kind of him?

0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, you know so many really cool things,

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>but just you know, when he was telling me stories

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 2>about growing up in al Equipma, Pennsylvania, which is a

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 2>football hotbed, a small town and all they do is

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 2>play football, he said he grew up basically had a

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 2>small town. You had, you had the Italian neighborhood. You

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>had all the different on en clays and they were

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>small towns, so they were right close together. It's a

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 2>block here, block there. And they'd get together and they'd

0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>play against each other and with each other. And he said,

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 2>all grown up, you know, from dawn until dusk, and

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>it was really football.

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 3>It was a football town.

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Then they'd get to the high school and they were

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 2>all on the same team and they were a powerhouse.

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>And those are some of his best friends of this day.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that's pretty cool. He was working in the

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 2>in the steel mill when he was seventeen and eighteen

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>years old, and that's that's the Moulten you know, the

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>steel mill. You know, the molten moulten steel coming out

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>of the big vats that we don't have anymore, that

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 2>America needs to bring back. You know, we're for that, right.

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 3>Are we.

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Until not getting political here, but let's bring back

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>to steel mills. Because guys like Joe Delas Sandras were

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 2>in the steel mills as a teenager.

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:02.799
<v Speaker 3>And he did mention.

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 2>That what he was taught by the older guys working

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>in the steel mill that before you took your shift,

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>you had a shot of whiskey. One shot of whiskey

0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.359
<v Speaker 2>to get you ready for your for your for your

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.200
<v Speaker 2>tour duty there, So h that was pretty cool. And

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 2>then all the great coaching stories over the years. And

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 2>then all the players that just you know that that

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.000
<v Speaker 2>that said stuff, you know, and I think even guys

0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 2>like RG three as a quarterback talking about him.

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 3>So those are pretty cool things. Palace impacting.

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, I'm sure all of you guys are filling in,

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 4>but it's specifically the office in line of the guys

0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 4>that were working with him on a daily base.

0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 5>Did you get a sense of how those guys are

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 5>dealing with this?

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, Ronnie Stanley I said some really good things.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Talk to Tyler. Pat McCary spoke to the team today

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 2>about it. Uh, those guys that have been with him

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>for a long time, even the young guys who were

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>impacted by him, the rookies even, uh, I think they were.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>They were a little quieter today, you know, and locked in,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.000
<v Speaker 2>as was the whole team, especially in.

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 3>The team meeting.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 2>I think he's it's his Uh, his memory is gonna

0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>be on our minds, you know. Uh, and it should

0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>be and it should motivate us coach, how difficult next

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours setting a master talking to guys, that making.

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 3>A team, etc.

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a great question, Todd. I mean that's an

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>ongoing process, so I think we continue on. It's not

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>like all of a sudden we have to make cuts

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and we haven't been thinking about it. We've been thinking

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.600
<v Speaker 2>about it really every day. So we have a very

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>good idea where we're at. There are moving parts. There's

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>different rules and eligibilities and different things like that, different needs, injuries,

0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>things like that that you take into account in order

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 2>to set the roster and take advantage of trying to

0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.520
<v Speaker 2>keep as many of the good players as you can,

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>and because we have a lot of good players. So

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're trying to work out now and we'll

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 2>have that done by tomorrow.

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 5>There was a report that that third quarterback rule has

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.800
<v Speaker 5>changed and now if you want to have an emerging

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 5>quarterback available, it has to be on the fifty three.

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 5>Will that change how you approach that?

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>It sure could. I mean it just depends. We were

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of counting on the rules. I didn't know it

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.520
<v Speaker 2>changed until ch had told me walking off the field.

0:04:54.560 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Just now. So I think the PA vetoed it. That's

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 3>what happened.

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 2>So they vetoed it for whatever good reason that they had,

0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and we'll have to change our thinking on that, Johnna.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 6>Do you make a decision on the on the three

0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:12.599
<v Speaker 6>open spots in the offensive line.

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 3>Conticular to start there we have?

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not gonna make any announcements on any starting

0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 2>positions going into the Chief game.

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 3>You know what would be the point. We'll just go

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:22.640
<v Speaker 3>play the game.

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:26.120
<v Speaker 6>Don you anticipate you with any game as in last

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.120
<v Speaker 6>year you rotated tackles.

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, that kind of see entertainment.

0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 6>Do you anticipate that you have back this year for

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 6>the regular season?

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure, that definitely could be a possibility. I think it's

0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>something that we did last year effectively. So it's a

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:43.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of a new strategy, you know. I mean people

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:45.800
<v Speaker 2>have done that before. You know, we'll have to take

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 2>credit for with Joe D. You know one of Joe

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 2>D's innovations.

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.160
<v Speaker 4>John how it looked like Kyler literbaumb was back out

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 4>there today? How do you feel like he coming back today?

0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 2>I tell you look good out there. It's good to

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 2>see Tyler Linna when I'm out there of practice. So

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>it's good that was I. I'm pleased with that.

0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and anything you could share about maybe what you

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 6>might have heard on the mix. Same act injury.

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was an ankle spring, not not a major

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 2>ankle spring at all. He was out there today as

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>well practice. It was full speed, so it's okay.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've done I mean injuries.

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 6>Also saw Kyle and Handler can read uh, you know,

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 6>I practice and then it doesn't out there too, and then.

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Tells an agib. Yeah, I'll just say this about all

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.039
<v Speaker 3>those things. It's definite.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:36.520
<v Speaker 2>Don't mean to interrupt you, but it's uh, there's no

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>serious injuries. None of those guys have anything that's gonna

0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 2>keep them out unless something crops up that I don't

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 2>know about, so I can you know, I I'll say that,

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 2>then you know something will happen maybe and you guys

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>will be like, oh, you didn't tell us the truth,

0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.320
<v Speaker 2>so you know it is what it is. But there's

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 2>nothing now that's gonna keep anybody out of practice, out

0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 2>of practice on Friday or that that you don't know about,

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Like allis still up in there. I can't tell you that.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 2>But other than that, it's just we're not really gonna

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>get into two too much talk about the injuries because why,

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's a it's a competitive disadvantage to to

0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:08.600
<v Speaker 2>get too deep into what your guys' injuries are. That

0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>puts them not in the best position competitively, and us

0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. We'd like to keep our opponent's guessing

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. You know, that's that's the benefit to us.

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's kind of where we're at during the season.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>If it doesn't have anything to do with like if

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I if I, if I think the opponent already knows

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's obvious, I'll just say it. But if because

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 2>they know he's on the concussion protocol with Alis, until

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 2>he gets off the concussion protocol, they know he's out,

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>so I can talk about that anybody else like that,

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 2>It wouldn't wouldn't be favorable to us or to the

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>player to to, you know, give out information to the

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs or the Raiders or anybody else.

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 3>It just doesn't help us. You know, we're trying to

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:43.200
<v Speaker 3>have every possible edge we can.

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 5>Does it feel that there are more kind of questionable

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 5>injury types when you're trying to sort this fifty three

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 5>than other years. You mentioned Ali and other players that

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 5>you have to kind of figure out how plus what

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 5>the change this year where you can put you to

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 5>I our short term before you cut. Does that all

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 5>feel different this year or not?

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a little different. Yeah, that you don't have

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to you have to, you know, cut guys and then

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 2>bring them back and all those kind of rules. They

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 2>clean that rule up so you can just do it.

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, guys need to be on short term my

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>R and I think those rules have been good. Used

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 2>to be able to put a guy in I R

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of the season or you had to

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 2>carry him. That wasn't good for anybody. So I think

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.679
<v Speaker 2>the NFL has done a fantastic job of just bringing

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 2>common sense into the equation with that stuff. Because guys

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 2>don't want to bounce around teams. They want to they

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 2>want to get dug in, they want to keep developing,

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 2>usually with the team that they're at, So why should

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>injuries cause people to start moving around. So that's been

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:39.800
<v Speaker 2>really good. As far as the difference in the injuries,

0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>we haven't had a lot of serious injuries. That's probably

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 2>the biggest difference. You know, we've had We've had little

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 2>things here and there, you know, but that's that's if

0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:48.560
<v Speaker 2>you're not. If you don't have little things here and there,

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 2>you're not even practicing. We've had we've had little things

0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>off the field, you know, Josh ross Is this year

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>was a car accident. So I think we've had a

0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 2>great camp that way. But you know that's that's day

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.319
<v Speaker 2>by day. So we just kind of keep going day

0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 2>by day with that and see where we go.

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.960
<v Speaker 4>John, I mean, it will be about twenty four hours

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.839
<v Speaker 4>until everything gets out for you. I mean, what is

0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 4>the next twenty five hours. I mean, are you constantly

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 4>tulking air, are you talking to coaching? How does that

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 4>process that maybe over the next twenty hours goes for you.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 2>We've had most of those conversations already and I think

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 2>for now it'll be just if anything changes, if anything

0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>becomes available, we'll have a conversation other than just talking.

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 2>But we have a plan in place, and then everything

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 2>is written in firmly and uh chalk. You know, it

0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 2>can be a race in any moment and change, so well,

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.160
<v Speaker 2>not everything. I mean, you know tomorrow will be here,

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Mark Andrews.

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 3>Will be here.

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 2>You can you can you know that's engraved that's in stone,

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that's engraved in stone.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:44.000
<v Speaker 3>Tablets, Mountain at least for now.

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 6>We know how important special teams is to those The

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 6>consideration of those final three spots, I mean, did you

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 6>kind of get a sense for with the new rules

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 6>by the end of preseason, just what the kind of

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 6>traits you're looking for from those guys to fill those

0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:56.400
<v Speaker 6>kind of spots.

0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Right, We do have a plan for that.

0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's still gonna remained to be seeing because

0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:05.199
<v Speaker 2>it's still in experimental stages right now, but we we

0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of got some clues as far as what type

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>of body types you want different spots and bigger, smaller, faster,

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 2>all those kind of things, hopefully, and we'll just see

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:13.760
<v Speaker 2>how it plays out.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Obviously, the injuries by large went went quite well. On

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 3>this being the end of camp.

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 5>Overall assessment then of kind of where you think, all, right,

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.839
<v Speaker 5>did you get done really all that you wanted to

0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:23.679
<v Speaker 5>get done during this time?

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 2>I think we did, Pete, you know, I mean, you

0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 2>always want to get the most done as you possibly can,

0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 2>so and what is that what are we measuring that against?

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:33.679
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of hard to say what that number, what

0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.439
<v Speaker 2>that what the amount of getting stuff done was. But

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm really I feel good with the process in the

0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.840
<v Speaker 2>sense that everybody was locked in, everybody was fully committed,

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.240
<v Speaker 2>everybody did the best they could in every circumstance. Uh,

0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, we chased perfection as best we could, and uh,

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 2>we're going to try to do the same throughout the

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 2>course of the season. I got told the guys we're

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna play Thursday night against the Chiefs. We've been pointed

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 2>towards that the whole you know, off season, of course,

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>since the schedule came out. But after that game, we

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 2>get in that locker room, we come back Friday from

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:02.679
<v Speaker 2>that game, there's gonna be another game in front of us.

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be the Raiders, you know.

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>After that, I think it's the Cowboys, Is that right?

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna have a whole season. So that will

0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 2>be a beginning for us, not an end. It's an

0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>end right now because that's the next challenge. After that,

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:15.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll be it'll be a beginning and a launch point,

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.079
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna try to improve every day throughout the

0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:18.839
<v Speaker 2>course of the season.

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:21.959
<v Speaker 3>Oh, when writes.

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 4>Injury, are you will have to talk about the number

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 4>three running back roll? Or do you feel pretty good.

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.719
<v Speaker 6>About the options in house? Or is that something you

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 6>feel like you may have to look outside.

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I would just say Jeff that that's

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 2>all speculative, you know, I mean, it just depends. I

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>like the guys in the house, if there's something outside

0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>that looks really great, I'm sure we'll look at it.

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.160
<v Speaker 2>It just depends who the names are, you know, what

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.319
<v Speaker 2>the options are. It's like it's like going forward on

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.120
<v Speaker 2>fourth down, you know what I mean, what are your

0:11:47.200 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>chances of getting it? Is it gonna help us win

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the game or not? So it just kind of comes

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.160
<v Speaker 2>down to that. We'll be open to anything. I mean,

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.439
<v Speaker 2>if the right player becomes available, I'm quite sure Eric,

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:58.319
<v Speaker 2>we'll be looking at him. But you know, people aren't

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 2>in the habit of getting rid of really great players

0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:04.079
<v Speaker 2>right before the season starts.

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:05.679
<v Speaker 3>We do two more.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.280
<v Speaker 6>Should we bring back a shout at whiskey.

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Before work we go all way before the press conference? Well,

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 3>you know we could do that. You're gonna be the

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.000
<v Speaker 3>first buy you're gonna buy for everybody.

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.199
<v Speaker 1>That was Raven's head coach John Harbaugh. The team has

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to get down to fifty three players on the roster

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>by Tuesday at four pm, and the focus from here

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>on out is gonna be on the Kansas City Chiefs

0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>and that matchup coming up in Arrowhead on Thursday, September

0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>fifth to open the NFL season. Thank you so much

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 1>for listening. We will be back with you later this week.
