WEBVTT - Coordinators: Ravens Practice 9/21 Press Conferences 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.160 Today on the Ravens Press Pass podcast, we had a 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:08.159 chance to hear from the coordinators on the squad. So 0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:11.600 let's kick things off with Special teams coordinator Chris Horton. 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:13.480 Good to see everyone. 0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:17.560 Hope everyone's doing well. We're heading to week three and 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:19.279 for us, you know, we're just looking out to go 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.200 out there and just really just play our best football. 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.480 We still haven't as a unit, we still haven't done 0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.400 that yet. And uh, I know one thing, I know, 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:28.120 our guys, our guys are working hard, and uh, pretty 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.960 soon we're gonna we're gonna take off. You know, these guys, 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:32.720 these guys want to be good, they want to be great. 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.479 We got to make sure we just continue to take 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:39.240 care of the little smallest little details. Questions, Chris. 0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.960 I know it's always a surprise when when Justin Tucker 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.120 Bess is a field goal and and that will not 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:48.080 think them nefty nine yards? But is there? I know 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.159 with him, you have so much confidence in him. What 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.320 is the range where you guys are kind of like, 0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.920 all right, let's let's probably not say talk around there. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.440 You know, I think on the on the daylight on 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:00.440 a day like that, it's a it's a fair question. 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.920 We we do go back and forth of you know, 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.880 uh with with Randy and and Harve's you know, and 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:09.080 those situations of saying, hey, is this one we we 0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:10.560 want to go for. We want to go ahead and 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.240 go out there and kick and if if we feel 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:13.920 good about it, we put Tuck out there, because he 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.440 does he does have that capability to go out there 0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:18.960 and make that kick, and we've seen that done numerous times. 0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.080 So I think it just just depends on the situation 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.520 in the games. There's times last year, you know where 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.040 where we we had to win the game and we 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:26.680 put him out there and we make those kicks. So 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.480 it's just kind of a what do we feel what 0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.080 do we feel like in that in that situation? 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.480 Juris going on right here. 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:40.680 Have you had guys for job buck returned and access 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.880 and making decisions on maybe not putting it on got 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:47.640 like Kyle Hamilton or because you're wanting to him more 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:49.360 on defense or the injuries and stuff. 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:50.840 Is that something guy goes into your process? 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.520 You know, it is something that goes into our process. 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.040 I think it's one of those things though, you know 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.240 where when you start you guys start going down, then 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.400 you know, all all hands on deck, right, and I 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.360 think I think it comes to that point of Okay, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.120 well what can this guy do for us? Uh, he 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.360 is a valuable player, and he is playing maybe more 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.720 on office and defense. You know, how can he still 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.400 help us? And those guys they want to do it 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.840 because because it's all about it's all about the team, right, 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:15.840 it's all about it's all about winning. What can they 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.720 do to help us win and help us be successful. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.400 We look into we we take that into account. We 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.880 make sure that we take care of those guys that 0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.760 are playing a little bit more on office and defense, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.240 and then it's an opportunity for the for some new 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.399 guys to step in there and and really just play 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.120 to our standard and play the kind of football we 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:33.160 want to play. 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.919 That's what happened on the. 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.360 You know, Jeff, it's just like, uh, it's just one 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:39.880 of those things. 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:40.080 Right. 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.760 You You'll go back, you sit back, you're sitting on 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.200 the sideline and you're asking yourself, man, how could that happen? 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:45.400 Like? 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.800 Right, these are things we we we prepare for and 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.000 then when you watch the tape, you see how those 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.520 things happen. Right, we don't fully execute the punt coverage. 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.480 It's just not one guy, you know, it's it's it's 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:58.760 all eleven and including myself. Right I'm watching the tape like, hey, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:00.640 could I have told this guy maybe something a little 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:01.120 bit different? 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:03.200 So it was all of us. We watched it. 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.080 Uh, we got it correct it We you know, we 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.160 feel we feel pretty good about, you know, putting those 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.040 guys out there and making place from here on. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.320 That. 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:16.000 That was special teams coordinator Chris Horton. You're listening to 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.200 the Ravens Press Pass podcast. We also heard from offensive 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:20.799 coordinator Todd Munken. 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.280 Todd, how pleased were you with the way the offense 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:28.280 looked in Cincinnati compared to the week before? 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.440 Well, it was a hell of a lot better. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:39.040 Just in terms of operation communication myself, lamar huddle breaking 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.600 the huddle not perfect, still left some things out there, 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.680 just in terms of operation. To me, that's the start 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.400 of it. Otherwise you have a lot of drag. You know, 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.040 it doesn't look like you wanted to look like. So 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.560 we were. I was pleased with that part of it. 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.640 Obviously the guys did are a great job of executing, 0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.480 but it started with the operation. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.320 So not as much dragged as we don't want to go. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.560 There this past week, No, not as much, not as 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.240 much wasted plays like not as many just not giving 0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:13.480 yourself a chance to be successful. And talked about that 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:17.520 last week. So that's it's still an ongoing process. What 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.520 we do each week, what we do, well, what they do, 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:22.680 what we put on the plane, and then carrying that 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:23.760 over to Sunday. 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.520 Tied for the fewest amount of three announcers in offense. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.919 Just can you talk about the importance of getting that 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:31.799 first first down and. 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.280 How you practice and you know, work to get that 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:35.960 first watch. 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.080 Yeah, what's crazy is that first game? 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.640 You know it we had the same you know we 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.960 you know, like said half the battles getting that first 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.560 first down and then we just stalled and we just 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.680 just a lot of drag. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.880 But as I always say, like. 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:57.640 Overall statistics, just make you feel good because it really 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.520 doesn't make for this week. Like our job is to 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.280 do the same thing this week, if that makes sense. 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.080 I'm not trying to be mean or but it's really 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:07.560 weak to week. It's you can't carry that over and say, well, hey, 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.880 wait a minute, you know, no, we got to do 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.480 it each week. That's that's the that's what we're paid 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.240 to do, and that is to try to find a 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.760 way each week to do that and then continue drives. 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.320 But it is it is important to get that first 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.400 first down and get yourself going. And I've been happy 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:23.159 with that part of it. 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.400 Yes, Lamarns Blowers entrepreneur is very evident how much fun 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:28.520 they were having in that game? 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.400 How much fun did you have? 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:31.880 Oh, it's never fun. Game day is not fun. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.760 Oh no, everybody says that. I mean, it's stressful as hell. 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.679 But I enjoy watching our guys play. I enjoy coaching 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.480 our players. I think we've got a great group of 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.920 young guys. You know, it's fun to come out every 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.400 day and come to the meeting rooms with those guys. 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:55.080 That that I enjoy. But I mean it's a job, 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:55.520 you know. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:06:00.320 Everything builds up to basically game day, you know, And 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:04.120 I don't take that lightly, you know, So it's it 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.200 is what it is. I mean, you fight like heck 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:07.920 during the week to get the looks you want and 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:10.240 try to carry that over on Sunday and put the 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.120 guys in the best position to be successful. 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.000 Speaking quick the week and thats Z has been pretty 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.520 think to those first two weeks, how much of that 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:20.600 is situational? 0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:21.159 How much is it? 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:21.800 Is it? 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:23.920 Obviously he's you know, he's a guy who who's got 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:24.559 a lot of talent. 0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.559 Well, the above, I mean, you're gonna put any player 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:31.320 in a position that gives them the best chance to 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.159 be successful, wherever that might be. You know, you're not 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.760 gonna put a tight end out there to run a 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.760 take route normally, you're gonna put them where they can 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.440 be successful. You put za where you think you can 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:45.160 be successful. We dictate some of that. The defense dictates 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.960 some of that. Number of reps dictate some of that. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.680 Uh style of game. It is like this week we 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:56.080 got into two minutes. Well, the wideouts are happy as hell, right, 0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:57.840 get in a four minute, the running backs are happy 0:06:57.880 --> 0:06:58.160 as hell. 0:06:58.560 --> 0:06:58.720 Right. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.120 That's just the way it works, right, And so you 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.920 get more opportunities to showcase your ability, which is what 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:07.080 this like every skill player is looking to do. So 0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:08.960 we do try to find ways to get all of 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.320 our players involved as best we can. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:17.360 And you about him in respect that he may be 0:07:17.480 --> 0:07:20.400 surprised us and stood out for Guidan as it. 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:23.960 Looked, Well, I'm just gonna go beyond his skill set, 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.720 because that's that's easy to see. 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:33.160 I think you can being around him. 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:38.560 You just feel his contagious spirit, his youthfulness, his smile, his. 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:39.600 Approach every day. 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.240 I don't know if I've ever come to work, which 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.520 hopefully I've tried to do the exact same thing. But 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.200 he's got a smile on his face. He loves playing football, 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.320 which are all of our guys do. But again, it's just, uh, 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.320 it's fun to be around. He's got a little bit 0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.320 of an absence of fear. You know, he doesn't there. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.120 I think he's expected to have success, and that's half 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.800 the battle when you're a young player is to expect 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.520 to have success, and he expects to have success. 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.200 That's someone you've been in a number of places. How 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.240 rare and how valuable is it to have someone like 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.320 Patrick McCarey who can play all five offensive line spots. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.280 He started at multiple spots over the course of his career, 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.520 knowing that you know injuries are going to happen over 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:23.280 the course of the season. 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:24.920 Yeah, it feels like you're trying to get him a 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.800 contract extension here by my comments here, First of all, 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.520 it's extremely valuable anybody that makes I said it way 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:34.040 back when whoever makes our fifty three men roster and 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.120 or as part of our practice squad is elite. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.040 They're elite. I mean, they're here for a. 0:08:38.000 --> 0:08:41.280 Reason because you feel good that if something were to 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:45.080 happen at any given position, the expectation is that those 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:46.800 players will go in and play at a high level. 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:51.960 And we should expect that. And he did that, you know, 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.360 and he has done that. That wasn't new. We were 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.800 not surprised that he played at a very high level. 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:58.040 Todd. 0:08:58.080 --> 0:08:59.920 You guys just brought back King and Drake who was 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.200 here last year. I know, he just got here. But 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.880 is there any familiarities in the offense that he can 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.080 kind of grasp from what he was doing last year. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:09.520 With the Ravens. 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.960 I think so there's some carryover, you know. Some of 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:16.920 the verbiage is the same, some of it's different, you know. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.800 So but again it's it's getting up to speed with 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.840 what the little different nuances are. But inside zones, inside zone, 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.000 outside zone, gap schemes, a flat route, a wheel route, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.640 you know, I mean, it's all the same. We just 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.720 got to get him up to speed, and if he 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:34.160 ends up being up at some point, then you know, 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.720 you start with a certain base of plays that that 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.400 he feels like he can handle. You know that, we 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:40.120 know he can go on the field, and it's not 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.840 a matter of execution, it's a matter of the operation 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:46.920 of it, right, It's that he can run a flat route, 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:48.640 but not if he runs an angle and we're expecting 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.520 a flat If that makes sense, you know that then 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:50.800 it's not. 0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:55.520 Along those lines, is it anywhere difficult for he's lining 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.599 to line up where they physically are. You know, on 0:09:58.840 --> 0:09:59.679 that final drive. 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.599 You're kind basically the message certain guys along that the 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.319 line they're having to dues a lot of on the 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:05.680 left side of where you see on the right side. 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.440 Is that just an expectation for the DALs. 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.000 Well, it's a credit to those guys, you know, it's 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.000 a credit to those guys being able to move around 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:13.840 and be able to play both sides. 0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.640 I know you've been asked about being reunited with Totell. 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.079 Bet in junior, But now that you've been around it 0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:21.920 for a few months, what's maybe the biggest difference you 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.280 see out of him just as a person from twenty nineteen. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.839 Oh, He's always from a person standpoint, Odell's always been 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:30.600 a fantastic person. 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.559 You know, people gravitate to him. He's got a great 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:34.000 towards him. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.720 He's got a great personality, he's got great charisma, and 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.319 he loves playing football. He loves being around the locker room. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.720 He loves the guys. You know, you see I've said 0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:47.520 this before. I think you see, like any of us, 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.880 as you, as you age, you mature, he may think differently. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.120 I'm giving you my opinion, but you know, I mean 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.760 it's to the point, like I said, Rams, when a 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.040 Super Bowl get hurt, come and back, I think there's 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:05.120 a there's a certain wanting to be able to prove 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:06.600 that I can still that he can still play at 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.680 a high level, which it's fun to be. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:10.480 And or he's done a great job with our younger guys. 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:12.680 I think he's probably he's always been good at that, 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.000 but I think he feels more sense of being a 0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:17.880 little bit older how important that is for the younger players. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.320 That was Todd Munkin And last but not least, we 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.040 heard from defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.920 Yeah, you know it's I wasn't not surprised. I mean 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.160 said we had one hundred percent confidence in him, and 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.560 he played a great game and obviously with the huge play, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.079 the huge pick there in the red zone. So uh, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.280 you know, changed a bunch of expected points in the game, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.760 and just obviously excited about how he played. But we're 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.640 expecting to keep keep moving just like the rest of 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.080 the defense. We got a long way to go. So 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:52.880 another challenge this week, but definitely definitely played a great games. 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.079 Run the change and bridges. 0:11:56.440 --> 0:11:58.679 Uh, well, you know that the base runs are are 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.960 the same, you know, probably it's more of the quarterback 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.120 designed runs where you know they wanted to ultimately end 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.120 up in the quarterbacks hands. I would imagine go down 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.839 a little bit, but uh uh, and those are different 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:11.679 types of situations that pop up in the game. But 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.199 it's it's uh, it's more similar than you than you'd anticipate. 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:16.960 Mike be a. 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.040 PK's got four penalties in two weeks, the fifteen year 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.840 od variety. Is that a fine line to walk between 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.000 telling him to be a little smarter and not want 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.120 to kind of fail. 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.200 Some of this aggressive, specific simple views that you play. 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.840 I think you, I think you hit it spot on. 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.800 That's exactly That's exactly the message with him, and he knows, 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.680 you know, we're we've talked about it, and he's, uh, 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.720 he's well aware of the penalties. But uh, I don't, 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.120 I don't. I don't foresee it being an issue moving forward. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.920 I think it's more of a uh thing of chance, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:46.719 you know, based on how he's played in things. But 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.240 he's got to make some better decisions than some of 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:49.440 those moments, and he will. 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.840 U Coach Harp thought about how active clown he was. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:56.360 He's a guy who's been in the league a long time, 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.840 but you haven't had him that long. Are you still 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.160 kind of learning things you can do with him or 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:04.160 you have a pretty good handle. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.000 I'm just going about that process. 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.079 Yeah, that's an interesting question. I think you're always looking 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.480 to find ways for guys to do things they do well. 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.040 So I think that how how how he can be 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.760 disruptive in the run game and how you can move 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:19.720 them around in the past game. I think, you know, 0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:21.880 we'll continue to find ways to build on just like 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:24.760 everybody else. But yeah, so he's doing the things that 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.240 we imagined to do, so hopefully hopefully keep it rolling. 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:32.200 Like Girl Commen and Patrick and gotten off the Shrunks, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.120 they're kind of doing what they do. It's curious what 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.200 you think their influence has been on each other from 0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.839 the communication recognition standpoint terms of what you guys, you know, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.960 want a two week two weeks. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.960 I just I just think, I think you're talking about 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.600 two great players that have a passion for the game 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:54.160 and work extremely hard and care about their teammates and 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.400 care about our defense and how well we perform and 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.720 want to lead both through their actions and both through 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.120 how they handled themselves on a daily basis. And uh 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.480 as a coaching staff, you know, give a great shout 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.320 out to Zach. I mean, he's done a tremendous job 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:12.120 of building that camaraderie throughout the whole room. I wouldn't 0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:13.720 make any more of it than that. And it's just 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.920 I think, you know, just credit to our Eric and 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:18.440 our personal the party for getting him in the same 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:20.760 room together, and the rest, you know, kind of comes 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.080 to life. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.400 So with our Darius Washington going down, what have you 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.360 seen from Arthur Mallett? I mean, I know he missed 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.080 most of training camp with the hamstring, but since he's 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:30.720 gotten back on the field the last few weeks and 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.160 him potentially obviously haven't experienced at the Naples. 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.880 Yeah, I haven't seen anything different than what we saw 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:40.720 when we wanted to sign him versus when he first 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:43.920 got here. Obviously had the setback during camp, but he's 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:46.560 right there so you know, if and when his opportunity 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.600 comes along, just like Gino last week, you know, let's roll. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:53.080 You know, it's very confident in him coming in and 0:14:53.360 --> 0:14:54.800 doing a great job, when after. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.160 That was Mike McDonald. You also heard from Todd dun 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.680 and Chris Horton, So go ahead, it's hit that subscribe 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.000 button if you haven't done so already, and do the 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.680 same over the Lounge feed as well. Also make sure 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.720 you leave a rating and a review.
