Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Monday,
Speaker 1: January twenty second, and the Ravens are getting ready to
Speaker 1: host the AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. As
Speaker 1: the team prepares for that game, we had a chance
Speaker 1: to hear from head coach John Harbaugh during his Monday
Speaker 1: afternoon press conference.
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate everybody being here. We are preparing for the
Speaker 2: Chiefs first conference championship game since nineteen seventy one.
Speaker 3: I've been told and matter of fact, Jerry Sandusky told
Speaker 3: me that right after the game, So it was pretty
Speaker 3: cool to hear that from Jerry. I think he was
Speaker 3: probably about ten years old when that happened. He said
Speaker 3: his dad was the on line coach. But we're excited
Speaker 3: about it. We're looking forward to it. It's a huge
Speaker 3: challenge playing a great football team, very talented, very well coached,
Speaker 3: know how to win. They've been in these situations many times.
Speaker 3: I think they've been in the championship game. Maybe this
Speaker 3: is their sixth time in a row, so they've been
Speaker 3: here before. It'll be a big challenge for us, our
Speaker 3: first time with this team and these guys, but we're
Speaker 3: up for the challenge and we're excited. What question do
Speaker 3: you have, John.
Speaker 4: With Mark and Andrews, would do you feel he was
Speaker 4: close to any point?
Speaker 3: And is the expectation for him to play this week?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll just see how he goes. We're looking forward
Speaker 2: to it.
Speaker 3: He practiced last week and I'm sure he'll practice again
Speaker 3: this week and if he's ready to play, he'll play.
Speaker 5: Mahomes four times are past five or six years, But
Speaker 5: Howard is still a game plan for a quarterback. You
Speaker 5: can make new spontaneous plays sort of, you know, with
Speaker 5: his arm in his legs.
Speaker 2: No question.
Speaker 3: I mean you got to factor it in the fact
Speaker 3: that he extends plays, he buys time, he buys time
Speaker 3: to run, sometimes buys time to throw. He's just a
Speaker 3: really lousive guy. You'll see me in space. Sometimes you'll
Speaker 3: make guys miss and all that. So you know, it's
Speaker 3: just Patrick Mahomes. He's unique, plays his own brand of
Speaker 3: football been very successful. We'll just have to study him
Speaker 3: and do our best to try to keep him under wraps.
Speaker 4: Hey, coach, how much have you been angled or how
Speaker 4: much are you going to harken back on your AFC
Speaker 4: Championship experience.
Speaker 6: You've obviously had a win after a loss in New England,
Speaker 6: and you talk about the Chiefs and their straight here.
Speaker 6: But how much are you able to go back and
Speaker 6: maybe use some of that as experience for.
Speaker 2: Current players to that? You know, I don't think it
Speaker 2: really applies too much. I mean, it's it's a new time,
Speaker 2: you know, and this is this game. It just it's us.
Speaker 3: It's this team against that team at this time, and
Speaker 3: that's focused on We've got to keep it simple.
Speaker 2: Just get ready to play the game.
Speaker 4: M's like going up against Andy in a game of
Speaker 4: this magnitude through your relationship with him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously it's a big deal
Speaker 3: in terms of the relationship that goes back a long, long,
Speaker 3: long way, and utmost respect for Andy, a most appreciation
Speaker 3: for what he's accomplished as a coach. We were together
Speaker 3: for ten years, you know, the first ten years there
Speaker 3: in Philly, and uh uh, you know, we were in
Speaker 3: a lot of championship games, you know, a lot of
Speaker 3: playoff games, and it was it was I learned so much,
Speaker 3: you know, I just learned so much as a coach
Speaker 3: and as a person.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 3: Then competing against him now all these years has been
Speaker 3: really challenging. I mean, Andy's a great coach, He's got
Speaker 3: a great staff. You name all the guys, Tom Melvin, Dave, Tobe,
Speaker 3: all the guys that have come through there that that
Speaker 3: we knew from from the Eagles. Uh, it's just a
Speaker 3: it's just a very talented group of people. And have
Speaker 3: the utmost respect for him.
Speaker 4: John, do you remember the first time that he met
Speaker 4: with Andy and what are maybe some of those lessons principles?
Speaker 4: What happened that that you took with you?
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, well I was trying to I was
Speaker 3: hoping to be retained. Yeah, I know that, and that
Speaker 3: he was coming in. I was one year with Ray Rhodes.
Speaker 3: Ray Rhoades brought me into the National Football League. Couldn't
Speaker 3: have been, couldn't have been. Can't be more grateful. I mean,
Speaker 3: Ray Rose is great to be around for a year
Speaker 3: or two and phrase out there listen, just thank you
Speaker 3: very much. I'm always appreciative of what I learned from Ray.
Speaker 3: And then Andy came in and I was hoping to
Speaker 3: stay and and he gave me an opportunity to do it.
Speaker 3: And I was really I was young and just figuring
Speaker 3: things out.
Speaker 2: So that was good.
Speaker 3: Of him and hope he hope, he hope he's glad
Speaker 3: he did, you know, looking back on it. But one
Speaker 3: of the things I tell his story a lot. But
Speaker 3: one of the things with Andy, he had this three
Speaker 3: by five card behind his desk on his bolting board.
Speaker 3: Uh uh, and it just said, don't judge, don't judge.
Speaker 3: And I got the nerve to ask him about it
Speaker 3: one time and he just basically, you know, it's kind
Speaker 3: of a biblical principle, you know, and take people where
Speaker 3: they're at, assume the best, you know, try to communicate
Speaker 3: with everybody on you know, equal terms. And I've never
Speaker 3: forgot that.
Speaker 2: John. You're you're an adopted at Baltimore.
Speaker 4: And at this point, I mean, what was your sense
Speaker 4: of kind of what it meant to the people in
Speaker 4: the stadium to be there, for them to get on
Speaker 4: Saturday and then literally means to you know, host the
Speaker 4: game of this magnitude on Sunday.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seemed like it meant a lot, I'll tell
Speaker 3: you the fans it was meaningful. Even driving out of
Speaker 3: the stadium, there's still people everywhere, lined around everywhere, and
Speaker 3: of course I rolled my root window down, you know,
Speaker 3: and kind of you know, we yelled and yelled go
Speaker 3: Ravens and stuff like that. It was it was really fun. Uh,
Speaker 3: it was loud, it was it was emotional. You could
Speaker 3: just tell how much it meant. Now I would I
Speaker 3: would say that this is uh, this is even bigger,
Speaker 3: you know, and it's like game day, you know, I
Speaker 3: think everybody coming to the stadium, everybody watching on TV.
Speaker 3: You know, just like we tell our players, get a
Speaker 3: good night's rest, you know, get a good meal before
Speaker 3: the game night before the game, you know, get you
Speaker 3: get your clock set, uh, get you get your game
Speaker 3: time ready. So spiritually, mentally, physically, let's be ready to go.
Speaker 3: Let's be ready to be loud and be proud and
Speaker 3: rock that stadium.
Speaker 2: What were you up to in nineteen seventy one?
Speaker 3: Was I doing in nineteen seventy one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know where we were. We were at Iowa.
Speaker 3: My dad just took a job at the University of
Speaker 3: Iowa to coaches secondary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's when we lived in that little house on
Speaker 2: Taller in Court. And we didn't have a car. Half
Speaker 2: the time.
Speaker 3: Sometimes we got a car, sometimes we didn't, you know.
Speaker 3: So when we had a car, we got a ride
Speaker 3: to school.
Speaker 2: We didn't have a car. We were walking. You know.
Speaker 3: That's when Dad would say, who's got it better than us?
Speaker 3: We'd say everybody with a car.
Speaker 2: You know, said, no, you don't understand the value of walking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, nobody's got it better than you.
Speaker 4: You weren't watching the ANC Championship game in Baltimore.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I do remember the field goal to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. Jim O'Brien. Right, I saw that. Remember
Speaker 2: that kick. I can remember that kick nine.
Speaker 3: Years old, absolutely straight ahead, right boom, A.
Speaker 2: Short kick as that a car? Yeah? Sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 7: No, I was to say.
Speaker 8: This group of guys obviously seemed to keep it so
Speaker 8: loose despite the high pressure situations. How much can you
Speaker 8: put towards how much fun you've had being around this
Speaker 8: particular group in the chemistry surround them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's been a lot of fun. I love
Speaker 2: being around these guys.
Speaker 3: It's it's just every day, you know, you like coming
Speaker 3: to work every day, you know, you like driving in
Speaker 3: and be bopping. I'm usually here before most of them,
Speaker 3: so I see him coming in.
Speaker 2: Most of the guys.
Speaker 3: Uh, but uh, they're they're fun to be around. I
Speaker 3: mean it's just they come in, they're full of energy.
Speaker 3: They're they're determined. They want to they want to prepare,
Speaker 3: they want to practice, they want to lift weights, they
Speaker 3: want to they want to get the game plan. They
Speaker 3: like being around one another when we go to practice.
Speaker 3: The energy is high. Uh yeah, there's a lot of last.
Speaker 3: But there's also a lot of a lot of determination,
Speaker 3: you know, and a lot of focus, a lot of
Speaker 3: conversation around football. You know, when you're about football. It's
Speaker 3: fun to talk about football, you know, and our guys
Speaker 3: enjoy that part of it. So yeah, it's been it's
Speaker 3: been fabulous. It's just a great group of guys and
Speaker 3: very determined football team.
Speaker 4: Expect more Nunford to practices and how is he progressing?
Speaker 4: And to go along with that, how please have you
Speaker 4: been with the way Derby is set up? I mean
Speaker 4: how to pass break about them in the second.
Speaker 2: Play the game really set no doubt.
Speaker 3: I mean, Ronald Darby's played outstanding, Brandon Stevens has put outstanding,
Speaker 3: Arthur Marlette has played outstanding. Uh Rock has played outstanding.
Speaker 3: All those guys have stepped up and played very good.
Speaker 3: The coverage has been out This has been great. Uh
Speaker 3: and and with Marlon, I promise you if Marlon can go,
Speaker 3: he will. If he can practice, he will. I think
Speaker 3: you'll see it as the week goes on. Based on
Speaker 3: how much he practices, you probably get a pretty good
Speaker 3: feel for it. Pretty I'm pretty sure if he can
Speaker 3: be out there, you know for sure be out there.
Speaker 3: So I'm very hopeful. We'll have to see what happens.
Speaker 2: Carries in the game. How much does he help your
Speaker 2: coaches def see him in the game and the.
Speaker 3: Raves game plan moving for Yeah, I think it does.
Speaker 3: I mean he looked good, right, I mean I thought
Speaker 3: he looked really good out there. Dalvin did and ran
Speaker 3: hard and you know, showed showed his skill set off
Speaker 3: and got us those yards the end of the game
Speaker 3: along with Justice too, and to help us, you know.
Speaker 2: Seal it away.
Speaker 3: So it's just it's one more really good player whose
Speaker 3: hands we can put the ball into and and and
Speaker 3: that's a good thing.
Speaker 9: And you talk back of the game very briefly about
Speaker 9: Justice Hill and I know early year they were pumbling
Speaker 9: on the mesh pointing problems between him and Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 9: And hasn't happened for a long time.
Speaker 6: But in the last same month or so, how two months,
Speaker 6: how have you seen Justice Hill kind of.
Speaker 3: Develop over the season, right, Well, I mean I've told him,
Speaker 3: I just think he's suit supremely talented player, but his
Speaker 3: heart's even bigger, you know. And this guy he runs
Speaker 3: so hard and his acceleration in his burst is just
Speaker 3: is right up there at the top of the league.
Speaker 3: I mean, he gets the ball north, He's got really
Speaker 3: good vision, catches the ball like pass protects well rounded back.
Speaker 3: I mean, I just I couldn't say enough about him.
Speaker 3: I think he's been a difference maker for us.
Speaker 4: Lamar's talked a lot about and you as well, about
Speaker 4: him being locked in, locked in. You've heard a lot
Speaker 4: this year. I'm just curious, like, from your perspective as coaching,
Speaker 4: what does that mean to you And is there a
Speaker 4: particular example that maybe stands out.
Speaker 2: To what that meaning is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's real complicated. I mean, you
Speaker 3: come to work, and you and you come to work
Speaker 3: to go to work, you know, and and uh and
Speaker 3: get get locked in on what what your responsibilities are
Speaker 3: and what your job is and and make sure you're prepared.
Speaker 3: And then even as a football player, on the specific
Speaker 3: thing you know, when you line up, you lock in,
Speaker 3: you lock in on your on your job, your responsibility,
Speaker 3: your eyes, your feet, your hands, uh, the communication of
Speaker 3: the whole thing. Just supremely focused, you know, not looking left,
Speaker 3: not looking right, looking straight ahead, looking forward, short term
Speaker 3: and really long term too. You know, you can be
Speaker 3: locked in for the long term too. Specific examples to
Speaker 3: me is just every play. I mean I think it's
Speaker 3: just every play. When you watch the guy's play, you
Speaker 3: can see it, you know, and uh uh that's that's
Speaker 3: probably the greatest example of it. So you can pull
Speaker 3: up to me any play from this last game, you'll
Speaker 3: see a bunch of guys who are locked in and focused.
Speaker 3: Probably the best examples I could give.
Speaker 7: I made of Lamar's halftime speech. Have you seen that
Speaker 7: side of him before, especially in years of previous.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, I mean yeah, I've seen it
Speaker 3: plenty of times. He's uh, Lamar's determined. I I don't know,
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like it wasn't like some crazy thing,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean I saw the way it was described.
Speaker 3: It wasn't like that.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: He was he was just he was locked in. He
Speaker 3: was determined, and he kind of said some things and
Speaker 3: so let's go. You know, this is this is not
Speaker 3: the way it needs to be played, and we're better
Speaker 3: than that and let's go take care of business. Is
Speaker 3: basically what he said. So I think someone said it
Speaker 3: was profanity laced or something, you know.
Speaker 4: Uh, there was a lot of cursing.
Speaker 2: Here he said. He said some things I can't repeat. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't.
Speaker 3: It was. I don't think it's like you're imagining it, honestly.
Speaker 3: I mean I remember it that way, and I would
Speaker 3: have I think I would, you know, because he's not
Speaker 3: He's just not that kind of guy.
Speaker 2: He doesn't really talk like that. But no, it was,
Speaker 2: it was. It was. It was great. You know, it's good.
Speaker 2: It wasn't it was. It was. It was.
Speaker 3: I don't think it's a big story. I think the
Speaker 3: way he plays a big story that's kind of I
Speaker 3: think that's even big story. But Lamar is a leader.
Speaker 3: I mean Lamar is a leader from the beginning to
Speaker 3: the end. And the way he plays what he says,
Speaker 3: guys listening to him, the way he runs the offense,
Speaker 3: I mean, he's just a he's an A plus plus leader.
Speaker 10: There will be a lot to talk about the Holmes
Speaker 10: and Kelsey, and rightly so, but how difficult. Does the
Speaker 10: checko now in their run game just to kind of
Speaker 10: stop all kind of challenges do they present.
Speaker 5: On the ground.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're run the ball really well.
Speaker 3: They'll come out with you know, three or four kind
Speaker 3: of game plan runs certain ways. Nothing nothing that you
Speaker 3: haven't seen before, but they dial in on something that
Speaker 3: they try to exploit. And then number ten, Jecko man,
Speaker 3: guy's coming downhill. You know, he's he's hitting it that
Speaker 3: way all out. You know, he's two hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: five pounds, his knees are a high. You know, he's
Speaker 3: he's just he's rolling, you know, And it's gonna be
Speaker 3: a big challenge for us to deal with him because
Speaker 3: he's he's as physical a runner as there is in
Speaker 3: the league. He's as determined as there is, and we're
Speaker 3: gonna have to be a physical, determined defense to tackle him.
Speaker 3: And you know, I like our guys. I like our
Speaker 3: guys chances. I think our guys will be up for it.
Speaker 3: And we're gonna have to because he's a good runner.
Speaker 10: What makes Mahomes so tough to bring down in the pocket,
Speaker 10: He's one of the best at, like, you know, avoiding
Speaker 10: pressures that turn into sacks. And I guess related to
Speaker 10: that house significant Kansas City in two D can't he
Speaker 10: can't make it. I guess he left.
Speaker 2: He left the gain yesterday with the pack injury. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he just got a great pocket presence.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 3: I think he sees the field and he sees he
Speaker 3: feels the pocket. You know, he must have you know,
Speaker 3: antenna that he just kind of senses all that. Like
Speaker 3: your car, you know, it's got all the centers, it
Speaker 3: starts beeping when guys get close. It must be that
Speaker 3: way for him because he kind of senses the pressure
Speaker 3: and he's able to just move around and get away
Speaker 3: but keep his eyes down field, slip out all those
Speaker 3: kind of things.
Speaker 2: Just what he does.
Speaker 3: Everybody that watches football knows it. That's just it's his.
Speaker 3: It's one of his gifts, you know. So we're gonna
Speaker 3: have to really study it be good at defending it.
Speaker 3: I do like our guys chances. We've got a lot
Speaker 3: of really good athletes. A lot of guys play hard.
Speaker 3: So we'll just try to make as hard on him
Speaker 3: as we can. As far as who's playing for them
Speaker 3: or not. That's just kind of is what it is.
Speaker 11: A second head coach in NFL history to make conference
Speaker 11: championship appearances after a ten year gap. The only other
Speaker 11: one was dick er Meal and that was because he
Speaker 11: wasn't coaching.
Speaker 2: For fifteen years.
Speaker 4: Can you just talk about.
Speaker 11: The challenges that you faced and you know, reconstructing a
Speaker 11: team and working with everybody here to.
Speaker 4: Get back here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, not really thinking about that. It's like the last
Speaker 3: thing on my mind right now.
Speaker 11: CoA.
Speaker 8: John wanted to go back to your post game prestoda
Speaker 8: the other day. You started it off with the scripture
Speaker 8: and just thinking about how you've been talking throughout the season.
Speaker 8: You reference faith and spirituality here and there. We see
Speaker 8: praying with the players, they talk openly about their faith.
Speaker 7: Why is it for you as a coach?
Speaker 8: Why has it been so important to keep faith as
Speaker 8: a bad break of this team's identity?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Well, one thing that it's important here is that we've
Speaker 3: always been this way, is uh, is that everybody expresses
Speaker 3: who they are and can be who they are, you know,
Speaker 3: freely and without apology, you know. And uh, we always
Speaker 3: like to be our best self, you know. We kind
Speaker 3: of encourage that to one another and sometimes we fall short,
Speaker 3: but we're always.
Speaker 2: Striving for that.
Speaker 3: We encourage each other to strive for that, you know,
Speaker 3: and try to try to support each other as much
Speaker 3: as we can. I need as much support as everybody
Speaker 3: else does, you know. And so we're really in a
Speaker 3: partnership here at players and coaches, uh and and and
Speaker 3: scouts and everybody in the organization, you know, are in
Speaker 3: a partnership. And uh and that's that's the basic part
Speaker 3: of it. So if faith is a part of who
Speaker 3: you are and part of your life, ah, then it's
Speaker 3: it's welcomed, you know. And uh So I don't try
Speaker 3: to hide that from my perspective of who I am.
Speaker 3: It's it's sustained me, it's made it's improved me greatly
Speaker 3: over the years. It's the only thing I think that
Speaker 3: really does change your heart, in my opinion, is faith.
Speaker 3: You really can't do it yourself. It's impossible. It has
Speaker 3: been for me. But the more I trust, the better
Speaker 3: I get, And the more I trust God, the better
Speaker 3: I get. So you know, I'm not a shamed of that.
Speaker 3: And I think our guys appreciate it, and everybody, whatever
Speaker 3: their thoughts are on.
Speaker 2: It, you know, they're welcome.
Speaker 3: And you know, this is always some good dialogue that way,
Speaker 3: because we've got some really smart guys and stuff. But
Speaker 3: you know, that's that's the that's the way we're formulated.
Speaker 4: It's being smart guys and people expressing themselves. Your defense
Speaker 4: has obviously been outstanding this year. When you think back
Speaker 4: to the to Mike's early years and you sort of
Speaker 4: tapping and what stood out to you most about him
Speaker 4: that that kind of gave you that belief and confidence
Speaker 4: in him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike's Mike's just the I think, real genuine person.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of great coaches on the staff,
Speaker 3: they all kind of share this this particular trait. But
Speaker 3: you know, he was here young. You know, he's just
Speaker 3: out of college, and uh, he was very eager and
Speaker 3: very smart, and very motivated and hard work king and
Speaker 3: all those kinds of things, and you could just tell,
Speaker 3: you know, he had all those kind of traits. I
Speaker 3: think he's been raised the right way. You know, his
Speaker 3: parents are incredible people, and and so he just got
Speaker 3: to it and worked hard at it and kind of
Speaker 3: gave up through the system. And then with this particular
Speaker 3: defensive system, you know, he's probably been blessed with the
Speaker 3: opportunity to grow with the same system. And then the
Speaker 3: evolution of the system over the course of the last
Speaker 3: what nine ten years, He's he's.
Speaker 2: Been right in the middle of all that.
Speaker 3: So it just is with a smart guy like that,
Speaker 3: he works hard like that, who's in that kind of
Speaker 3: a circumstance. You know, that's that's the result, I think
Speaker 3: is what you see is he's just got a really
Speaker 3: good feel for it, you know, for the he's got
Speaker 3: a feel for the game itself, but he's also got
Speaker 3: a great feel for applying the principles that he's he's
Speaker 3: he's been a part of developing actually over the last
Speaker 3: nine or ten years.
Speaker 2: And you know, it's hard.
Speaker 3: Guy's got a great staff around him. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: it's never one person. All those guys on defense are
Speaker 3: great coaches. I'm telling you, it's a really good staff.
Speaker 3: They work well together, they collaborate, they listen to one another.
Speaker 3: Uh they they they're they're they communicate well with each
Speaker 3: other and the players.
Speaker 2: It's just a good group.
Speaker 7: John, like bron said, the defense been great. All you
Speaker 7: great against Saturday. It seems like they continue to ace
Speaker 7: every test. How excited are you just got the challenge
Speaker 7: of them going up against this this Chiefs offense. Who's
Speaker 7: you know, been so good at this time of the year.
Speaker 2: No doubt. I mean that's a great point.
Speaker 3: Just just looking forward to it, you know, Yes, excited
Speaker 3: for it, for the challenge of it, to go in
Speaker 3: there with these bunch of guys. I tell you guys
Speaker 3: all the time, and it's gonna be an honor to
Speaker 3: take the field with with you men in this game,
Speaker 3: this opportunity to uh, to be side by side with you,
Speaker 3: with you guys, because I just admire them and the
Speaker 3: way they play. Uh, and it's true of our whole team,
Speaker 3: not just our defense. But you ask about the defense,
Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be a massive challenge, but it's gonna
Speaker 3: be one that we uh we accept, right and uh,
Speaker 3: we couldn't be more excited about.
Speaker 9: So you go back with Steve Spagnolo quite a few years.
Speaker 9: What's what's impressed to you about how that pass Russian
Speaker 9: secondary kind of tie everything together and how the very
Speaker 9: legitimate pressure from a lot of different ways.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not surprised at all.
Speaker 3: I Mean Steve was here coaching, was was with Steve
Speaker 3: and Philly for all those years, and then he was
Speaker 3: here for a couple of years coaching, So you know,
Speaker 3: you just you see, he brought stuff into this and
Speaker 3: he's contributed to our system, you know when he was here,
Speaker 3: and uh I can see that we've contributed to his
Speaker 3: system too. And I watch about tap and that's good.
Speaker 3: You know, that's where it's supposed to be. But uh,
Speaker 3: great football coach. They have a great staff to you know,
Speaker 3: Joe Collins over there too, and other great coaches. But
Speaker 3: the very smart system, very very well organized. Uh incredibly,
Speaker 3: they play really hard. Uh, It's just it's it's a
Speaker 3: challenge to to to go to to uh to.
Speaker 2: Game plan against.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I mean, I don't understand why don't see Steve's
Speaker 3: name for head coach. And I'm trying to scratch in
Speaker 3: my head on that one. You know, Uh, he's uh,
Speaker 3: he's very deserving of an opportunity coach.
