1
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Today on the Ravens Press Pass podcast, we had a

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,159
Speaker 1: chance to hear from the coordinators on the squad. So

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: let's kick things off with Special teams coordinator Chris Horton.

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Good to see everyone.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 3: Hope everyone's doing well. We're heading to week three and

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 3: for us, you know, we're just looking out to go

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: out there and just really just play our best football.

8
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 3: We still haven't as a unit, we still haven't done

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 3: that yet. And uh, I know one thing, I know,

10
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 3: our guys, our guys are working hard, and uh, pretty

11
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 3: soon we're gonna we're gonna take off. You know, these guys,

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: these guys want to be good, they want to be great.

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: We got to make sure we just continue to take

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 3: care of the little smallest little details. Questions, Chris.

15
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: I know it's always a surprise when when Justin Tucker

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 4: Bess is a field goal and and that will not

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 4: think them nefty nine yards? But is there? I know

18
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 4: with him, you have so much confidence in him. What

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: is the range where you guys are kind of like,

20
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 4: all right, let's let's probably not say talk around there.

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 3: You know, I think on the on the daylight on

22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 3: a day like that, it's a it's a fair question.

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: We we do go back and forth of you know,

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: uh with with Randy and and Harve's you know, and

25
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: those situations of saying, hey, is this one we we

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 3: want to go for. We want to go ahead and

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 3: go out there and kick and if if we feel

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: good about it, we put Tuck out there, because he

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 3: does he does have that capability to go out there

30
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: and make that kick, and we've seen that done numerous times.

31
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: So I think it just just depends on the situation

32
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: in the games. There's times last year, you know where

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 3: where we we had to win the game and we

34
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: put him out there and we make those kicks. So

35
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: it's just kind of a what do we feel what

36
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: do we feel like in that in that situation?

37
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 5: Juris going on right here.

38
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 6: Have you had guys for job buck returned and access

39
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 6: and making decisions on maybe not putting it on got

40
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 6: like Kyle Hamilton or because you're wanting to him more

41
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 6: on defense or the injuries and stuff.

42
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 7: Is that something guy goes into your process?

43
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: You know, it is something that goes into our process.

44
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: I think it's one of those things though, you know

45
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: where when you start you guys start going down, then

46
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 3: you know, all all hands on deck, right, and I

47
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: think I think it comes to that point of Okay,

48
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: well what can this guy do for us? Uh, he

49
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: is a valuable player, and he is playing maybe more

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: on office and defense. You know, how can he still

51
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: help us? And those guys they want to do it

52
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 3: because because it's all about it's all about the team, right,

53
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: it's all about it's all about winning. What can they

54
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: do to help us win and help us be successful.

55
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 3: We look into we we take that into account. We

56
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: make sure that we take care of those guys that

57
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: are playing a little bit more on office and defense,

58
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: and then it's an opportunity for the for some new

59
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,399
Speaker 3: guys to step in there and and really just play

60
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: to our standard and play the kind of football we

61
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 3: want to play.

62
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 7: That's what happened on the.

63
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: You know, Jeff, it's just like, uh, it's just one

64
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: of those things.

65
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: Right.

66
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: You You'll go back, you sit back, you're sitting on

67
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 3: the sideline and you're asking yourself, man, how could that happen?

68
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 8: Like?

69
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: Right, these are things we we we prepare for and

70
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: then when you watch the tape, you see how those

71
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: things happen. Right, we don't fully execute the punt coverage.

72
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: It's just not one guy, you know, it's it's it's

73
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: all eleven and including myself. Right I'm watching the tape like, hey,

74
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: could I have told this guy maybe something a little

75
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: bit different?

76
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: So it was all of us. We watched it.

77
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 3: Uh, we got it correct it We you know, we

78
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: feel we feel pretty good about, you know, putting those

79
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 3: guys out there and making place from here on.

80
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: That.

81
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: That was special teams coordinator Chris Horton. You're listening to

82
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens Press Pass podcast. We also heard from offensive

83
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 1: coordinator Todd Munken.

84
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: Todd, how pleased were you with the way the offense

85
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: looked in Cincinnati compared to the week before?

86
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 2: Well, it was a hell of a lot better.

87
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: Just in terms of operation communication myself, lamar huddle breaking

88
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 5: the huddle not perfect, still left some things out there,

89
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: just in terms of operation. To me, that's the start

90
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 5: of it. Otherwise you have a lot of drag. You know,

91
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: it doesn't look like you wanted to look like. So

92
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: we were. I was pleased with that part of it.

93
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: Obviously the guys did are a great job of executing,

94
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: but it started with the operation.

95
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: So not as much dragged as we don't want to go.

96
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 5: There this past week, No, not as much, not as

97
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: much wasted plays like not as many just not giving

98
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 5: yourself a chance to be successful. And talked about that

99
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: last week. So that's it's still an ongoing process. What

100
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: we do each week, what we do, well, what they do,

101
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: what we put on the plane, and then carrying that

102
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 5: over to Sunday.

103
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 6: Tied for the fewest amount of three announcers in offense.

104
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 6: Just can you talk about the importance of getting that

105
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,799
Speaker 6: first first down and.

106
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 9: How you practice and you know, work to get that

107
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 9: first watch.

108
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's crazy is that first game?

109
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 5: You know it we had the same you know we

110
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: you know, like said half the battles getting that first

111
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: first down and then we just stalled and we just

112
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 5: just a lot of drag.

113
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: But as I always say, like.

114
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 5: Overall statistics, just make you feel good because it really

115
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: doesn't make for this week. Like our job is to

116
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: do the same thing this week, if that makes sense.

117
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: I'm not trying to be mean or but it's really

118
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: weak to week. It's you can't carry that over and say, well, hey,

119
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 5: wait a minute, you know, no, we got to do

120
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 5: it each week. That's that's the that's what we're paid

121
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 5: to do, and that is to try to find a

122
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 5: way each week to do that and then continue drives.

123
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 5: But it is it is important to get that first

124
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 5: first down and get yourself going. And I've been happy

125
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 5: with that part of it.

126
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Yes, Lamarns Blowers entrepreneur is very evident how much fun

127
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: they were having in that game?

128
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 5: How much fun did you have?

129
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: Oh, it's never fun. Game day is not fun.

130
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 5: Oh no, everybody says that. I mean, it's stressful as hell.

131
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 5: But I enjoy watching our guys play. I enjoy coaching

132
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 5: our players. I think we've got a great group of

133
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: young guys. You know, it's fun to come out every

134
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: day and come to the meeting rooms with those guys.

135
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: That that I enjoy. But I mean it's a job,

136
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: you know.

137
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 5: Everything builds up to basically game day, you know, And

138
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 5: I don't take that lightly, you know, So it's it

139
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 5: is what it is. I mean, you fight like heck

140
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 5: during the week to get the looks you want and

141
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 5: try to carry that over on Sunday and put the

142
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: guys in the best position to be successful.

143
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 7: Speaking quick the week and thats Z has been pretty

144
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 7: think to those first two weeks, how much of that

145
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: is situational?

146
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 2: How much is it?

147
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Is it?

148
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 7: Obviously he's you know, he's a guy who who's got

149
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,559
Speaker 7: a lot of talent.

150
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 5: Well, the above, I mean, you're gonna put any player

151
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 5: in a position that gives them the best chance to

152
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 5: be successful, wherever that might be. You know, you're not

153
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 5: gonna put a tight end out there to run a

154
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 5: take route normally, you're gonna put them where they can

155
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 5: be successful. You put za where you think you can

156
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 5: be successful. We dictate some of that. The defense dictates

157
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 5: some of that. Number of reps dictate some of that.

158
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 5: Uh style of game. It is like this week we

159
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 5: got into two minutes. Well, the wideouts are happy as hell, right,

160
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 5: get in a four minute, the running backs are happy

161
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 5: as hell.

162
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 2: Right.

163
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 5: That's just the way it works, right, And so you

164
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: get more opportunities to showcase your ability, which is what

165
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 5: this like every skill player is looking to do. So

166
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: we do try to find ways to get all of

167
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 5: our players involved as best we can.

168
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 7: And you about him in respect that he may be

169
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 7: surprised us and stood out for Guidan as it.

170
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: Looked, Well, I'm just gonna go beyond his skill set,

171
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 5: because that's that's easy to see.

172
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: I think you can being around him.

173
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 5: You just feel his contagious spirit, his youthfulness, his smile, his.

174
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Approach every day.

175
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if I've ever come to work, which

176
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: hopefully I've tried to do the exact same thing. But

177
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 5: he's got a smile on his face. He loves playing football,

178
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 5: which are all of our guys do. But again, it's just, uh,

179
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 5: it's fun to be around. He's got a little bit

180
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: of an absence of fear. You know, he doesn't there.

181
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: I think he's expected to have success, and that's half

182
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: the battle when you're a young player is to expect

183
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 5: to have success, and he expects to have success.

184
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 8: That's someone you've been in a number of places. How

185
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 8: rare and how valuable is it to have someone like

186
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 8: Patrick McCarey who can play all five offensive line spots.

187
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 8: He started at multiple spots over the course of his career,

188
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 8: knowing that you know injuries are going to happen over

189
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 8: the course of the season.

190
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like you're trying to get him a

191
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 5: contract extension here by my comments here, First of all,

192
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: it's extremely valuable anybody that makes I said it way

193
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 5: back when whoever makes our fifty three men roster and

194
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 5: or as part of our practice squad is elite.

195
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 2: They're elite. I mean, they're here for a.

196
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: Reason because you feel good that if something were to

197
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 5: happen at any given position, the expectation is that those

198
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 5: players will go in and play at a high level.

199
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: And we should expect that. And he did that, you know,

200
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: and he has done that. That wasn't new. We were

201
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 5: not surprised that he played at a very high level.

202
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: Todd.

203
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 4: You guys just brought back King and Drake who was

204
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: here last year. I know, he just got here. But

205
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: is there any familiarities in the offense that he can

206
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 4: kind of grasp from what he was doing last year.

207
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 7: With the Ravens.

208
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: I think so there's some carryover, you know. Some of

209
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 5: the verbiage is the same, some of it's different, you know.

210
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 5: So but again it's it's getting up to speed with

211
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 5: what the little different nuances are. But inside zones, inside zone,

212
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: outside zone, gap schemes, a flat route, a wheel route,

213
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, it's all the same. We just

214
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 5: got to get him up to speed, and if he

215
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: ends up being up at some point, then you know,

216
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 5: you start with a certain base of plays that that

217
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: he feels like he can handle. You know that, we

218
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: know he can go on the field, and it's not

219
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 5: a matter of execution, it's a matter of the operation

220
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 5: of it, right, It's that he can run a flat route,

221
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: but not if he runs an angle and we're expecting

222
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 5: a flat If that makes sense, you know that then

223
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 5: it's not.

224
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 8: Along those lines, is it anywhere difficult for he's lining

225
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,599
Speaker 8: to line up where they physically are. You know, on

226
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 8: that final drive.

227
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 7: You're kind basically the message certain guys along that the

228
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 7: line they're having to dues a lot of on the

229
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 7: left side of where you see on the right side.

230
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 7: Is that just an expectation for the DALs.

231
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 5: Well, it's a credit to those guys, you know, it's

232
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: a credit to those guys being able to move around

233
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 5: and be able to play both sides.

234
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 7: I know you've been asked about being reunited with Totell.

235
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 6: Bet in junior, But now that you've been around it

236
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 6: for a few months, what's maybe the biggest difference you

237
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 6: see out of him just as a person from twenty nineteen.

238
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 5: Oh, He's always from a person standpoint, Odell's always been

239
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 5: a fantastic person.

240
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 2: You know, people gravitate to him. He's got a great

241
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: towards him.

242
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 5: He's got a great personality, he's got great charisma, and

243
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 5: he loves playing football. He loves being around the locker room.

244
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 5: He loves the guys. You know, you see I've said

245
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 5: this before. I think you see, like any of us,

246
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 5: as you, as you age, you mature, he may think differently.

247
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 5: I'm giving you my opinion, but you know, I mean

248
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 5: it's to the point, like I said, Rams, when a

249
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 5: Super Bowl get hurt, come and back, I think there's

250
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 5: a there's a certain wanting to be able to prove

251
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: that I can still that he can still play at

252
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 5: a high level, which it's fun to be.

253
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: And or he's done a great job with our younger guys.

254
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 5: I think he's probably he's always been good at that,

255
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 5: but I think he feels more sense of being a

256
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 5: little bit older how important that is for the younger players.

257
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 1: That was Todd Munkin And last but not least, we

258
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: heard from defensive coordinator Mike McDonald.

259
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know it's I wasn't not surprised. I mean

260
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 9: said we had one hundred percent confidence in him, and

261
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 9: he played a great game and obviously with the huge play,

262
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 9: the huge pick there in the red zone. So uh,

263
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 9: you know, changed a bunch of expected points in the game,

264
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 9: and just obviously excited about how he played. But we're

265
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 9: expecting to keep keep moving just like the rest of

266
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 9: the defense. We got a long way to go. So

267
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 9: another challenge this week, but definitely definitely played a great games.

268
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 2: Run the change and bridges.

269
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 9: Uh, well, you know that the base runs are are

270
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 9: the same, you know, probably it's more of the quarterback

271
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 9: designed runs where you know they wanted to ultimately end

272
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 9: up in the quarterbacks hands. I would imagine go down

273
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 9: a little bit, but uh uh, and those are different

274
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 9: types of situations that pop up in the game. But

275
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,199
Speaker 9: it's it's uh, it's more similar than you than you'd anticipate.

276
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 8: Mike be a.

277
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 7: PK's got four penalties in two weeks, the fifteen year

278
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 7: od variety. Is that a fine line to walk between

279
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 7: telling him to be a little smarter and not want

280
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 7: to kind of fail.

281
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 4: Some of this aggressive, specific simple views that you play.

282
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 2: I think you, I think you hit it spot on.

283
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 9: That's exactly That's exactly the message with him, and he knows,

284
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 9: you know, we're we've talked about it, and he's, uh,

285
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 9: he's well aware of the penalties. But uh, I don't,

286
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 9: I don't. I don't foresee it being an issue moving forward.

287
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 9: I think it's more of a uh thing of chance,

288
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 9: you know, based on how he's played in things. But

289
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 9: he's got to make some better decisions than some of

290
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 9: those moments, and he will.

291
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: U Coach Harp thought about how active clown he was.

292
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: He's a guy who's been in the league a long time,

293
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: but you haven't had him that long. Are you still

294
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: kind of learning things you can do with him or

295
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 3: you have a pretty good handle.

296
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 4: I'm just going about that process.

297
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's an interesting question. I think you're always looking

298
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 9: to find ways for guys to do things they do well.

299
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 9: So I think that how how how he can be

300
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 9: disruptive in the run game and how you can move

301
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 9: them around in the past game. I think, you know,

302
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 9: we'll continue to find ways to build on just like

303
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 9: everybody else. But yeah, so he's doing the things that

304
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 9: we imagined to do, so hopefully hopefully keep it rolling.

305
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 7: Like Girl Commen and Patrick and gotten off the Shrunks,

306
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 7: they're kind of doing what they do. It's curious what

307
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 7: you think their influence has been on each other from

308
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 7: the communication recognition standpoint terms of what you guys, you know,

309
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 7: want a two week two weeks.

310
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 9: I just I just think, I think you're talking about

311
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 9: two great players that have a passion for the game

312
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 9: and work extremely hard and care about their teammates and

313
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 9: care about our defense and how well we perform and

314
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 9: want to lead both through their actions and both through

315
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 9: how they handled themselves on a daily basis. And uh

316
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 9: as a coaching staff, you know, give a great shout

317
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 9: out to Zach. I mean, he's done a tremendous job

318
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 9: of building that camaraderie throughout the whole room. I wouldn't

319
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 9: make any more of it than that. And it's just

320
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 9: I think, you know, just credit to our Eric and

321
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 9: our personal the party for getting him in the same

322
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 9: room together, and the rest, you know, kind of comes

323
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 9: to life.

324
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 8: So with our Darius Washington going down, what have you

325
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 8: seen from Arthur Mallett? I mean, I know he missed

326
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 8: most of training camp with the hamstring, but since he's

327
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 8: gotten back on the field the last few weeks and

328
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 8: him potentially obviously haven't experienced at the Naples.

329
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I haven't seen anything different than what we saw

330
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 9: when we wanted to sign him versus when he first

331
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 9: got here. Obviously had the setback during camp, but he's

332
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 9: right there so you know, if and when his opportunity

333
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 9: comes along, just like Gino last week, you know, let's roll.

334
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 9: You know, it's very confident in him coming in and

335
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 9: doing a great job, when after.
