Speaker 1: Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today was the joint practice
Speaker 1: between the Baltimore Ravens and Green Bay Packers just outside
Speaker 1: lambeau Field. Very exciting day and we heard from head
Speaker 1: coach John Harball and tight end Isaiah Likely. Here's Coach
Speaker 1: Harball talking about the big takeaways from today's joint practice.
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate everybody being here in beautiful Green Bay and
Speaker 2: it is a beautiful day. Really amazing facility, great fields,
Speaker 2: great fans, and we sure appreciate the Packers for hosting
Speaker 2: us here for this practice. They're a high class team,
Speaker 2: well coached by coach Lafloor, and then the whole organization.
Speaker 3: I would go back to Bob Harlan.
Speaker 2: Okay, Bob Harlan a guy I've got to be really
Speaker 2: good friends with his family. Brian is my agent, but
Speaker 2: Bob Harlan is on His fingerprints are all over this
Speaker 2: place and he's built this thing up from the ground
Speaker 2: floor to what it is today. So we appreciate Dad.
Speaker 2: We're very grateful.
Speaker 3: What question do you have, you know, probably guess another team,
Speaker 3: the first team, et cetera. How do you think the practice?
Speaker 3: What did you guys get out?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I thought the practice was excellent. Uh,
Speaker 2: it's what you hope for in a practice like this.
Speaker 2: It's what we expected against the team coach by Matt Lafleur,
Speaker 2: uh his dad, my dad coach against each other way
Speaker 2: back when at Central Michigan versus Western Michigan back in
Speaker 2: the day, so football family. Both teams were we're keeping it,
Speaker 2: you know, between the lines between the whistles, and it
Speaker 2: was physical practice. They're a very good team. I thought
Speaker 2: our guys did well, quitted themselves very well both sides
Speaker 2: of the ball.
Speaker 3: I thought we played good football.
Speaker 2: It was good to get out there in a little
Speaker 2: up up tempo situation against another team situationally and try
Speaker 2: to handle the problems.
Speaker 3: That are caused by that. So real grateful for that work.
Speaker 3: Plans are for Saturday in terms of whether you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Play the Stars at all or yeah, we've kind of
Speaker 2: announced we're kind of on the same uh uh path
Speaker 2: that we've been on throughout the season so far, so
Speaker 2: we'll kind of stick to that plant in, you know,
Speaker 2: just for a guy like that is obviously not gonna
Speaker 2: play much to get these kind of reps against Pick.
Speaker 2: No question, I was on the offensive field. So I
Speaker 2: didn't get a chance to see the defense uh or
Speaker 2: see that interception, but I heard about it, and uh,
Speaker 2: I think for Row. Row was looking forward to this practice,
Speaker 2: as were a lot of the guys. Lamar was looking
Speaker 2: forward to it. Zay Isaiah, A lot of guys are
Speaker 2: looking forward to a chance to get out there and
Speaker 2: go against another team.
Speaker 3: It's really it's valuable to do it.
Speaker 2: Uh. You can do it in games. We decided not to,
Speaker 2: So this practice takes on importance.
Speaker 1: When you were watching your offense, would you say for
Speaker 1: the Packers defensive road and that's gonna been the story
Speaker 1: around here in the last couple weeks.
Speaker 3: I thought they were good. I mean I haven't. I
Speaker 3: have not followed the press on the Packers.
Speaker 2: At all, to be honest with you. But I thought
Speaker 2: it was a physical front. I thought their bowl rush
Speaker 2: was really good.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Run defense was solid, strong, looked like a bunch of
Speaker 2: big dudes that play hard.
Speaker 3: I was impressed with him. Some evaluations, you know, starting positions.
Speaker 1: What can you get different out of these chorte offices
Speaker 1: than before you get overseason games.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's a great question.
Speaker 2: In some ways, it might be better you know, you
Speaker 2: get a little more of an isolated opportunity to look
Speaker 2: at guys situationally one on one pass rush. That's a
Speaker 2: great drill to take a look at and evaluate for instance.
Speaker 2: So but they're both valuable and we're happy to have
Speaker 2: the chance to do it.
Speaker 3: Did you get a chance to your ride? And I
Speaker 3: did not? I was They brought me over in a cart.
Speaker 3: I I could probably get on a bike.
Speaker 2: I've heard some of the Packers players were telling me
Speaker 2: that you gotta kind of take a a real close
Speaker 2: look at the bike first. You know, the the quality
Speaker 2: of the bike is not guaranteed. Usually they're really good,
Speaker 2: but you know, make sure the change's been oiled up
Speaker 2: three and one oil. Everything's moving smoothly, right. I want
Speaker 2: to see a chain popped. Don't want to see it
Speaker 2: gets stuck. Don't want that on video, you know, so
Speaker 2: we'll have to see.
Speaker 3: But you've had a couple of nice catchers too, uh,
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it. Pass up the paper. John Batman
Speaker 3: had a good nice catchers. I haven't seen him. Gotta
Speaker 3: Ram He came back to practice few weeks ago. Seem
Speaker 3: like Ram.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Richard looked good out there today. He looked quick fast.
Speaker 2: You know, he had the one great catching practice about
Speaker 2: what a week and a half ago, and he landed
Speaker 2: on the ball and that was held him out for
Speaker 2: a few more days, which we were all bummed about. Uh,
Speaker 2: I'm happy with her shot. He's gonna have a great season.
Speaker 3: Off intire SiO. You make different decisions.
Speaker 2: I just a hood put today would play the times
Speaker 2: the bars from the scrimp like time to.
Speaker 3: Start to the pups. Yeah, Brian, I mean I thought
Speaker 3: they looked good.
Speaker 2: I mean they were bringing bull rushes and games and
Speaker 2: physical games in there, and our guys were stout passing
Speaker 2: that stuff off really well. I mean, you're not gonna
Speaker 2: be perfect. And Lamar definitely holds the ball. Lamar was
Speaker 2: not looking to run, you know, he was looking to
Speaker 2: stay in there and throw. I think he probably would
Speaker 2: run more in a game than he did today, and
Speaker 2: that's a problem for the defense too. But uh, you know,
Speaker 2: for I could see, I was standing there. I can't
Speaker 2: wait to see the tape, but I was happy with.
Speaker 2: Uh how firm the pocket was. You know, ninety percent
Speaker 2: of the time, I know what just happened.
Speaker 3: But were you able to get any word on Kyle Hamilton.
Speaker 3: He went for a bit. Yeah, it's not a serious injury, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I would like to.
Speaker 4: Shift in the league with more teams not playing starters
Speaker 4: in preseason.
Speaker 3: Do you joint practice like this have auded importance?
Speaker 2: They might, you know, especially if it goes to two
Speaker 2: preseason games, for sure, Jerry. Like we said last week,
Speaker 2: the important thing is who you practice against and the
Speaker 2: mindset of the two teams going in. These two teams
Speaker 2: had the right mindset going in, and therefore we got
Speaker 2: good work in.
Speaker 3: So I was. I was happy with it and I
Speaker 3: believe Matt was happy with it too. I did type
Speaker 3: out imports, figuring out who you have to play in
Speaker 3: these things. Is it just a matter of.
Speaker 4: If you're good, you're generally gonna play whoever you're playing
Speaker 4: in the preseason game that.
Speaker 2: Week end, or if you bub oh for the practice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we played everybody in the practice. Yeah, this was kind
Speaker 2: of an opportunity the guys that aren't gonna play in
Speaker 2: the preseason game to get the reps we do two more.
Speaker 2: Have you talked about the ball and not looking at
Speaker 2: the rogue the run, but today and obviously another guy's
Speaker 2: on the kickings all Jackson's.
Speaker 3: How I think he looked. I thought it looked real good. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I thought Lamar looked great.
Speaker 2: I mean, and I also think that the value of
Speaker 2: this thing because he's coming back there telling me, you know,
Speaker 2: I should have done this, I should have done that.
Speaker 2: It's just another kind of a circumstance for him to
Speaker 2: be in where he can kind of get ready for
Speaker 2: the season. Or what do I think of Derrick Henry? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I thought he looked good running through there. I mean,
Speaker 2: he popped through there a few times. And he he's
Speaker 2: he's an explosive guy. He's he's always critical of himself.
Speaker 2: You know, he's I should have taken that one outside,
Speaker 2: or I should have taken that one back. I love
Speaker 2: his attention to detail and how he's like he's his
Speaker 2: own biggest critic and his own biggest believer at the
Speaker 2: same time. And that's you know, that's that's what that's
Speaker 2: key to success.
Speaker 3: All Right, Thanks, everybody, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Next up, it's tight End Isaiah Likely discussing what he
Speaker 1: took from the joint practices and his outlook this season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, how valuabould be fine, Like you know, I mean,
Speaker 4: George practice like this what do you think put the guy.
Speaker 3: Out of the Uh?
Speaker 4: I felt like it was a great opportunity. I mean,
Speaker 4: especially when you know a lot of guys aren't playing
Speaker 4: in the preseason, so going against you know, another defense,
Speaker 4: seeing you know how the lead shaping their defenses around,
Speaker 4: especially going against an NFC opponent. Uh, It's definitely was
Speaker 4: great work today.
Speaker 3: That's your first.
Speaker 4: Experience, yeah, I wrote, Uh, I wrote, like a little
Speaker 4: roll low low riders, like a walk kind of down
Speaker 4: the little hill. But it was fun. I mean it
Speaker 4: was definitely new experience.
Speaker 2: It is the next top you around fans like tramp
Speaker 2: so well.
Speaker 4: For sure, Yeah, I mean definitely. I like, you know,
Speaker 4: the little atmosphere that was like the whole I guess,
Speaker 4: like the whole strip that you guys had a lot
Speaker 4: of fans out there.
Speaker 3: For sure.
Speaker 2: The Blakes compared to the lunch your teammates made this summer,
Speaker 2: how big compared to the lunch your teammates built.
Speaker 4: This summer, Nah, I say, like they they're good. I
Speaker 4: mean obviously like love Baltimore, love love everybody come out
Speaker 4: to Baltimore, but obviously coming out here seeing the same love. Uh, definitely,
Speaker 4: then you know, always seeing the Ravens jerseys. It's also
Speaker 4: a good feeling.
Speaker 1: Are you aware of that?
Speaker 4: But you leadership year before this week or did somebody
Speaker 4: tell you about it? Y Uh, I've definitely s c Uh,
Speaker 4: I've definitely seen it. I mean, uh, I I know
Speaker 4: a couple guys on Green Bay, so I've definitely seen
Speaker 4: it on their stories on their Instagrams and stuff. So
Speaker 4: definitely seen it. But actually get to live in the experience.
Speaker 4: It's actually pretty cool.
Speaker 3: Is he which guys do you know? The packers for us?
Speaker 4: I know uh, Malie Heath, Uh the other rec Ray six,
Speaker 4: I know Aj Dillon. Then you had real hand of
Speaker 4: the record Sea Cam that what you do you think
Speaker 4: of what you did in the last point last season
Speaker 4: carried over?
Speaker 3: Int you what you did in stack this song?
Speaker 4: Uh? Really just I say carrying over the confidence. I
Speaker 4: mean obviously like you wanna, you know, hold on to
Speaker 4: everything that you did good and obviously benefit from the
Speaker 4: cons that you have. But I mean this is a
Speaker 4: new year. I mean we're on the bigger goals cause
Speaker 4: obviously you know everything then paying out the way we
Speaker 4: wanted to, so obviously keeping in mind that obviously what
Speaker 4: I did last year wasn't enough. So keeping that in
Speaker 4: and understand that this is this is another year to
Speaker 4: get done.
Speaker 3: How was it to not kind any fight? Gerda?
Speaker 4: First, Uh, I say, that's just being a pro. I mean, obviously,
Speaker 4: like it's gonna be competitive periods. You're gonna understand that,
Speaker 4: you know, for the most part, you don't necessarily know
Speaker 4: the person in front of you, So obviously understand that
Speaker 4: being a pro is understand that in the game you
Speaker 4: can't fight, So don't bring in us practice.
Speaker 2: I must bring that up to y'all in today's putting
Speaker 2: up the game.
Speaker 4: I felt like it was just you know, like a
Speaker 4: one pointer. I mean obviously, like they told us both
Speaker 4: were both sides stood on the rules, and then after
Speaker 4: that it was just you know, play football.
Speaker 3: The guy in front of you.
Speaker 2: How much did you use that to gauge your readiness
Speaker 2: for the regular seasons that.
Speaker 3: You're not playing? Uh?
Speaker 4: I say, really, just taking every rep that you have
Speaker 4: like a game rep. And I felt like, no matter
Speaker 4: who's in front of you, whether it's you know, Green
Speaker 4: Bay or even when we're playing the Ravens arc against
Speaker 4: our defense, just teaching treating every rep like it's a
Speaker 4: game rep. So when the game comes, it's easy.
Speaker 3: What was it like to see the starting defense out there?
Speaker 3: It was good.
Speaker 4: I mean obviously, you know, I've never played in Green Bay,
Speaker 4: so you know, seeing them, seeing how they operate, you know,
Speaker 4: seeing the coverages, seeing the defensive line. It was definitely
Speaker 4: like a new experience.
Speaker 3: How you're not playing Green Bay and how said lamp
Speaker 3: or what the iconic field.
Speaker 4: Uh, I'd definitely be you know, I'll definitely take it
Speaker 4: in when I walk in. Uh, obviously, like look around,
Speaker 4: see you know all the grades that played in there,
Speaker 4: and then really just go from there.
Speaker 3: Cause give your recommendations to get against the Chiefs first.
Speaker 4: Nah, he ain't give me no recommendation. I'll probably have
Speaker 4: to see after we got a team dinner. So hopefully,
Speaker 4: you know, they show up and show out when we
Speaker 4: get to this team dinner.
Speaker 1: Now, they say, seems really hopeful with the younger receivers.
Speaker 3: What have you seen from him?
Speaker 4: Like going into her two for him? Uh, I mean
Speaker 4: say they's taking off that leadership aspect of the receiver room.
Speaker 4: I mean good and bad players as they have. He
Speaker 4: always tries to embrace to show, you know, the younger
Speaker 4: guys below him that you know, don't dwell on the past.
Speaker 4: I mean, they make so many plays. I mean he's
Speaker 4: one of the focal points of our offense, so he
Speaker 4: knows that for the offense to go, he has to go.
Speaker 4: So Inspiring the younger guys to give every one hundred
Speaker 4: percent every play and show up and show out is
Speaker 4: definitely a monstra that he's been caring.
