Speaker 1: November twentieth, and the Ravens are gearing up for a

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: matchup on Prime Time on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. Now,

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: as the Ravens get ready for that matchup, we had

5
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: a chance to talk with head coach John Harbaugh today

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: and he provided up updates on the injury front on

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: several key players and also looked ahead the Sunday's game

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: in La.

9
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

10
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: Good to see everybody. Appreciate you guys being here. I

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 3: hope you had a good weekend. We are working on

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: the Chargers game coming up, had a chance to study,

13
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, the Bengals game on Friday as the coaching staff.

14
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: The players will come back in tomorrow afternoon and we'll

15
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,279
Speaker 3: probably debrief on the Bengals game just a little bit,

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 3: make our corrections, things that we need to build on

17
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 3: going forward, you know, for the next game, and then

18
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: it'll be all about our next opportunity.

19
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:00,319
Speaker 2: So what question do you have the game?

20
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: We talked about Mark likely being out with all the

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: tests that's going on, is at a definitive.

22
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, it's not. Nothing's completely definitive yet. But my

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: understanding is in talking with our trainer and the doctors,

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 3: is that it wasn't as bad as initially feared right

25
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 3: after the game. That there is there is the type

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 3: of damage that's done sometimes and that kind of an

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: action what happens to the ankle, But it wasn't as

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 3: bad as it could have been. It's a little cleaner

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: than they thought based on the MRI. He's going to

30
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: be involved with doctor Anderson down there in Carolina Charlotte

31
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: here the next few days and that we'll know more.

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: But there might be an outside chance you could get

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 3: back at some point in time. So we'll just have

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: to see how that goes on. And I want to

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: say that's definitive by a stretch, but there is some optimism.

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: John.

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: I had a couple of fans ask why UH brought

38
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: our Washington was active.

39
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: There's a curious yeah.

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: I mean it just has to do with our opponent.

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 3: You know, the types of formations and personnel groups they

42
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 3: were in, type of game they play on offense. It

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: was a it was a just a strategic decision in

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: terms of how best use our personnel and.

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 5: What did that technology that what did you see it

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: from his play. Uh, you know this year compared to

47
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 5: the last year, and obviously you guys gave him the

48
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: contract extension in August.

49
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: Excited about right, Yeah, Brodus brought I love broader, I

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,960

Speaker 3: it every single practice, every single game.

52
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: Very physical player.

53
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 3: Uh it does a great job pushing the pocket pass

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 3: run game.

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,440

Speaker 3: to week process remark.

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 6: Obviously beyond his what he brings the tables and receivers,

61
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 6: he's a very good blocker. What have you seen from

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 6: Isaiah Likely and Charlie Colors they've kind of improved as

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 6: young growing blockers.

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: Also, Yeah, I have seen that Ryan. I mean those

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: guys are they develop and they've been getting better really

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: every day, you know, every part of every part of

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: their game. You know, as tight ends in inline blocking,

68
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: perimeter blocking, past game stuff. You know, as Charlie made

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 3: the catch Asay had numerous perimeter blocks are outstanding. Charlie's

70
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: been doing a really good job with the inline blocking

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 3: the last month or so that he's been out there

72
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: doing it. So have full confidence in those guys. I

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: know they're going to go in there.

74
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: And get their shot and do a great job with it.

75
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 7: I'm at an opportunity to spend some time with your

76
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 7: brother before, during.

77
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Or after the Michigan game. Yeah, yeah, we did.

78
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: They came over, Jim and Sarah came over and watched

79
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: it with Ingrid and I. So we watched that game.

80
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: Tough game, great win for Michigan. Kudos to Maryland. They

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 3: played played a great ball game. So we got a

82
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 3: chance to watch it. So it was fun.

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 8: Was that experience like.

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 7: To watch the game with the guy who's supposed to

85
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 7: be on the sidewink?

86
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was fun. I mean I enjoyed it.

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's my brother. I think he would

88
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: he would have rather been on the sideline. I got

89
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: a pretty good feeling. But we appreciate him.

90
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: Being over the house.

91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 9: Uh.

92
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 3: Sarah was She was great as always, charming and uh

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: we had we had sandwiches and the snacks. Would you

94
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: like the menu, Jerry? Yeah, yeah, no, it wasn't catered.

95
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't catered.

96
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: Make our own sandwiches most of the time. But uh,

97
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 3: uh no, it was it was good. And uh he

98
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: did have his play sheet and his call shoot in

99
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 3: front of him, and you know, that was kind of

100
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,239
Speaker 3: fun to talk a little football during the game.

101
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 10: Did you learn anything about like the way he.

102
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so. I think so got some insight

103
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 3: in the way he thinks. Uh, you know, I know

104
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: he's very involved with the play calling offensively obviously, and

105
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: and uh, you know that's something that's uh, I just

106
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: I credit his team and his coaching staff for overcoming that.

107
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a big tough it's a challenging

108
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: thing not to have your head coach out there. He's

109
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: an offensive coach obviously, quarterback quarterback coach, very involved in

110
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: everything they're doing. But that's hard for him. You know,

111
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 3: I'm not considering say it's not you know, and you know,

112
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: obviously I think it's incredibly unfair, you know what's going on.

113
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 3: That's how I feel about it. And but I think

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 3: he's handled it at the highest level. He had, you know,

115
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: someone like you know, in that situation, you have no power,

116
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 3: you have no say in any of it. You just

117
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 3: do what they tell you to do. That's what you

118
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: have to do. And uh and and the facts aren't

119
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 3: all understood or or out. But certainly the quote unquote

120
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: investigation is not complete. It's not even close. So but

121
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: that's where it stands. Just from a personal level, that's

122
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: all aside the chance to be together as a family.

123
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: It was it was great. I enjoyed it and I'm

124
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: sure glad that came up.

125
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: With a win.

126
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 10: John, Have you seen enough from Travis vocalect believe that

127
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 10: he could be a guy who could help you here

128
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 10: going forward, if you, you know, add a third tight end.

129
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: To your roster.

130
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think that's definitely process. You know,

131
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: a work in progress. He's he looks good in practice.

132
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 3: The Travis does a great job. He's tough on our guys,

133
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: he makes catches. He's developing as a blocker. You know,

134
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: it's a little bit tough to develop in season the

135
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: way the rules are now for young guys. I do

136
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: have to say, because you're not in pads very much,

137
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 3: you know, you're not really doing things that help guys

138
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 3: develop as football players. And that's that's that's one of

139
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 3: the sad things about the way it works. It's necessary,

140
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: but it's just it's just tough. So I don't think

141
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: you really know about what a person could actually bring

142
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 3: to the table until you get him out there, So

143
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: we wouldn't know for sure, but I would say all

144
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 3: all arrows are pointed up for sure. You know, he

145
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: does a great job and I'm excited about his future.

146
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: John, with your reaction to Joe Flacco none back in

147
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: the league, but vaguer the Cleveland Yeah, yeah, it's great

148
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: for Joe.

149
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 3: And I saw where Joe had said a few times

150
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 3: where he was he wanted to play still and still

151
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: had still had plenty of juice left.

152
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 2: So I don't doubt Joe. I never doubt Joe.

153
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's an ultimate competitor, and you know,

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: we'll see what happens.

155
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 8: John, more than ten weeks into the season now, just

156
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 8: where big picture you seniors, your team make the most

157
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 8: strides and maybe achieve some goals that you've been hoping

158
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 8: for and progressing toward as.

159
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: You continue want well, I mean, you know, we're just

160
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: so much in the middle of that right now. It's

161
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 3: really it's really just right now, we're just trying to

162
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: get ready for the Chargers game, you know, and get

163
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: our game plan together. You watch that team on tape,

164
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 3: how talented they are all three phases. Great quarterback, you know,

165
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: great skill players, high draft picks, really everywhere. So that's

166
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: really what we're just kind of getting ready for. But

167
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 3: I will say this about our team in terms of development,

168
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: I just love the way they play. I mean, we

169
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 3: we play hard, and we play with discipline, you know,

170
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: we try we do our best to play smart and

171
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: h and they're very conscientious about that, try to do

172
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: the right things that lend themselves to winning, you know,

173
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: And that's what you appreciate as a coach. They care

174
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: about that, they care about winning and playing winning football.

175
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: And again, they just play so darn hard. You just

176
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: have to be proud of them. I put the tape on,

177
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: I'm proud of that part of it. I'm proud of

178
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 3: a lot of it. But that speaks to who they

179
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 3: are as people and players. So just got to keep

180
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: building on all those things.

181
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, way some people talk about pass rush, they kind

182
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 7: of re use it to one on one matches, But

183
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 7: the way you guys play, it's a lot of teamwork,

184
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 7: it's a lot of selflessness. How do you think that

185
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 7: those two facts are kind of play into the way

186
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 7: that you guys have played this year.

187
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's a good point. I mean, you know,

188
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 2: it is both.

189
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: It is one on one matchups a lot of times,

190
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 3: but it's also teamwork and playing together. I mean, even

191
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 3: when you are one on one, you've got there's five

192
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: rush lanes and four guys usually, and you have to

193
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: account for all those rush lanes, and the quarterback gets out,

194
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 3: which he has against you know, quarterbacks have gotten out

195
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: and made some yards. They did in this last game too,

196
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: and they do every week in the NFL. Yet you

197
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 3: try to minimize that. So you can't get sacks if

198
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 3: the quarterback's running away, So you got to work together.

199
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 3: I never see the sack that was just completely one

200
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 3: on one. Completely, I mean, there's always a team effort

201
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: involved there. But then to your point, you add in

202
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 3: the blitz patterns and the and the and the and

203
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 3: the games and stunts and all that being executed at

204
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 3: a high level. A lot of times it's the guy

205
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,359
Speaker 3: doesn't get the sacked that deserves most of the credit sometimes.

206
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: And the fact that I think we have fourteen guys

207
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 3: who've gotten sacks this year, uh, still too shy of

208
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: last year. We had sixteen different guys get sacks last year.

209
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 3: I was told, So that's that's a credit really to

210
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 3: that point you're making. But really, any way you can

211
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: get them is the way you want them.

212
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 4: Taking on that in the summer when we talked a

213
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: lot about Chucksmith coming to work with the young pass rushers,

214
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: and then you know always production recently, I mean, are

215
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: we sort of seeing to that labor, I mean, is

216
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 4: he is he more sophisticated pass rusher.

217
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: Maybe than he was when he in the league? Oh?

218
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Charles a great point. I mean, Chuck Smith

219
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: does a great job. I think he's an outstanding coach. Uh,

220
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 3: he's got he's a technician. Uh, he's very Uh he

221
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: studied this thing his whole life, you know, and his

222
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: whole adult life, I know. And uh, and then you

223
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: know Anthony Weavers another great coach. Those guys team up

224
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: and work together on that. They do just a phenomenal

225
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 3: Nobody does a better job in the league than those

226
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 3: two guys coaching the pass rush part of it. And

227
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: then to your point about a da Fe worked incredibly

228
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: hard at it and he's still i mean on the ascent,

229
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: he is getting better all the time. And I think

230
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: he's gonna you know, he hasn't even I don't think

231
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: he even scratched the service yet about how what kind of

232
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: player he can be, pass rusher, run, defense.

233
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 2: All of it. You play improvements, where has.

234
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: He made an improvements can be more specific hands.

235
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 2: Speed where all.

236
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he's a much better game runner,

237
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 3: you know, all the he's a better penetrator, he's a

238
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: better looper in terms of timing up that it's cleaner

239
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: now than it used to be. Mike a lot of times,

240
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 3: you know, especially with the t East, you know, we're

241
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: not getting that, we're not getting jammed up and slowed

242
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: down as much as we were off of the off

243
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: of the penetrator. I also think the one on one

244
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: moves have really really smoothed out. You know, uh, spin

245
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 3: move has moved out. Not perfect, you know a lot

246
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: of times, but he's got four or five kind of

247
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 3: kind of moves. I would say, two or three go

248
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: to moves and probably four or five moves over all

249
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: that he uses pretty regularly. That's that's a big, a

250
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 3: big addition to what he was before more just kind

251
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 3: of a straight speed rusher probably when we first got here.

252
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: So Yeah, he's working hard on all that stuff.

253
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 9: Justin NBK, and he's blowing away all his career stats

254
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 9: from before this.

255
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,119
Speaker 2: Sorry because you go ahead and beat the whole question.

256
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 9: Blowing away all his career that's from previous seasons. What

257
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 9: have you learned about him watching your comings to his

258
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 9: own that maybe you didn't know before. Has anything surprised

259
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 9: you as you've seen this season?

260
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, justin great question, nothing really has surprised me because

261
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 3: I knew he was gonna have a great season. You know,

262
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: you could see it in the spring summer. He kind

263
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 3: of saw the last couple of years. I mean, the

264
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 3: talent has really been there, and again it's a developmental thing.

265
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: I mean, guys grows players third round pick a lot

266
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 3: of talent and has always played well for us, but man,

267
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: I mean another level just in terms of the combination

268
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: of his explosive talent, the time in the weight room

269
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: and all things he's worked on to just become bigger, faster, stronger, quicker,

270
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: all those things, but also the technique more consistent, much

271
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: more consistent technique wise play to play than he had

272
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: been before, and it's showing up in his stats.

273
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: Being that defensive team going Brandon Stevens. What you know,

274
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 5: he's played really nicely for you guys. This season is

275
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 5: a good lard where the strides are in the specific

276
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: areas you've seen, and pretty good with them.

277
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's he's just seeing things quite kind

278
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: of quicker and probably processing in such more of a

279
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: kind of a subconscious way. He didn't play defensive back

280
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 3: a lot coming here and hadn't seen a lot of

281
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: those things happen, so I think he had to kind

282
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: of think his way through his reactions. Now not the case.

283
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: You know, he's reacting his way through his reactions. He's

284
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 3: seen it enough, he just responds and and it's just

285
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: playing faster as a result.

286
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 10: John, we saw Lamar kind of push through that that

287
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 10: ankle injury.

288
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 2: He said he was financing game.

289
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 4: But now four days removed, does it seem like giverything's

290
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 4: okay with one of that ankle?

291
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 2: It does.

292
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 10: Thursday, I think it was Darby for two drives and yes,

293
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 10: he would come in. Then the fourth quarter we saw

294
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 10: Armor Davis a little bit. Was that a matter of

295
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 10: just you know, he's earning the playing time and you

296
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 10: wanted to see a young player play in that situation

297
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 10: and how would you assess, how would you perform?

298
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I thought he played well a little

299
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 3: bit he was in there. We definitely want to get

300
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: him on the field and give him a chance to

301
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: kind of grow as a player. So that was an

302
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 3: opportunity to do it. And I also think there's competition

303
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 3: for those those reps you know out there. You know,

304
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: Marlin hopefully be back this week. We'll see, but uh

305
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: you know, we've got kind of a deep corner group

306
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: and they all want to play. So give you guys

307
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: a chance get out there and play and kind of

308
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: build it going forward.

309
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 2: John.

310
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 7: And then we asked you about the hip drops on Thursday,

311
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 7: you know, before today in USA. Today, one member of

312
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 7: the competition committee with the league suggested that the uh

313
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 7: or will be a waste of fan outright in the season.

314
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: You feel strongly you need to wag it up, just

315
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: the hip drop as.

316
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: A Yeah, I've kind of got in my mind to

317
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: plan for that. You know that if I was king

318
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 3: for a day what I would do. But I'm not,

319
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 3: so you know, no one cares. But from right now,

320
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: I just think that it's in good hands. You know,

321
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: the competition committee talks about those things and if they

322
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: decide to do something, it would be for a good reason.

323
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 9: I know.

324
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 3: I know Roger Goodell gets involved in all those things

325
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: as much as you can, and Rich and all those

326
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: guys do a great job. So whatever whatever they decide

327
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: to do at whatever point in time now would be

328
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: you know, you just you just bye bye and you say, hey,

329
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: it's what's best, you know. And then in the off season,

330
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure they'll be debating, they'll be voted on and

331
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 3: all that, but right now we're just trying to try

332
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: to get ready for the next game.

333
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 2: How do you guys talk.

334
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: To your defensive players about that? I mean, is.

335
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: It is that?

336
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 10: Is that something you teach because it isn't the toolkit

337
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 10: right now?

338
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: Or is it just do they do my instinct?

339
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 4: Or how do you deal without?

340
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 10: As coach?

341
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: No, we don't teach it, you know we we we

342
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: don't teach it. I don't think I don't. I can't

343
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: remember one of our guys doing it. Maybe I'm wrong,

344
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 3: but I don't remember seeing it from one of our guys.

345
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 2: It's not something we.

346
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 5: Teach left on injuries any anything. With Odell's shoulder, I

347
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 5: know it was it was a little rough after the game.

348
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 2: But any update there.

349
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, he's he's uh, he's not gonna be uh,

350
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: it's not kind of a long term shoulder thing. So

351
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: you guys have I promise you every single guy we

352
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 3: could sit in here.

353
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: You guys should probably want to sit in here and.

354
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 3: Go through every guy and there's exact status what they

355
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: got if which I'm not, but.

356
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 2: But you could, you know, so everybody's got something. I

357
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 2: got some things too. I could tell you my my

358
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 2: issues is you were really interesting John Andrews.

359
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: Will you which there a possibility you might use more

360
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: wide receiver packages and just oh sure, I think so,

361
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 3: you know, everything's on the table for sure, Mike. You know,

362
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 3: more wide receivers are going to play those guys, those

363
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: tight ends more than they have played, for sure. Kind

364
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: of keep it, mix it up. One thing we want

365
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 3: to always do is keep it moving. We don't want

366
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: to become and sometimes you have to be and we

367
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: have in the past. You know, you get forced into

368
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 3: certain kind of groups based on what your what you

369
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: what your roster looks like. But really I do believe

370
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: more than we have been you know in the recent memory,

371
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: we're probably more prepared to deal with something like this

372
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 3: than we have been. We have a lot of guys

373
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 3: that can step up and make plays wide receivers, tight ends,

374
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: running backs. Uh, feel really good about the guys that

375
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: are gonna all together fill in for Mark Andrews. I

376
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: mean Mark, listen, man, Mark is like such a competitor,

377
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 3: such a town as a superstar player, it's impossible to

378
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: replace him per se. We have to replace him together

379
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 3: as a group, and I really believe we can do it,

380
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 3: you know, and then when he gets back, we'll just

381
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: be that much stronger for it, you know, whatever that is.

382
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 4: Say there's an outside chance for I mean, are you

383
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 4: thinking like big like playoffs?

384
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: Maybe yeah.

385
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: I don't even want to say right now he's got

386
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: you know, once he gets back, maybe later, you know,

387
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 3: from this week. Maybe maybe that's something we could we

388
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 3: could mention and talk about because we would just know more.

389
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 3: And and also I probably have to lean into Mark

390
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: on that too, you know, what are his thoughts on it?

391
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 3: So I don't want to speak for Mark either, but

392
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 3: I knew to tell you this, there's no bigger competitor.

393
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 3: Nobody wants to be out there more than Mark Andrews.

394
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy, he is all about He's all

395
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 3: about everything, but he's all about game day, you know.

396
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: So I try, you know, I'll get a hug every

397
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: now and then tell him I love him, because I

398
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 3: do love him, But I try to get too close

399
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: to him, you know, I mean, he's he's all about it.

400
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 10: What you take not here?

401
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 2: What did you have a sense of his mood right now?

402
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: How frustrated is or anything like that? And of course

403
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: of the three day.

404
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 3: Seas is all Yeah, I couldn't even say. I mean, yeah,

405
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's frustrated, but he's okay, he'll be okay,

406
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 3: He's tough.

407
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:18,199
Speaker 5: Uh.

408
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 7: Do you feel I have the issue the issues whatever

409
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 7: you want call with the run defense or are pretty

410
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 7: fixable with maybe you guys giving up some jargity past

411
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 7: past couple of games.

412
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, I'm not too worried about our run defense.

413
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 2: You know We've got we take a lot of pride

414
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: in that.

415
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 8: The Chargers are four and six on the season, and

416
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 8: you know, it seems like their margin fair to get

417
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 8: in the playoffs is right at this point? Uh, do

418
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 8: you coach any differently win it's a team that's desperate

419
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 8: for a win, or is it just kind of continue

420
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 8: to just coach for your opponents.

421
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: No, we're desperate for a win. You know, We're one

422
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 3: hundred percent desperate for a win. That's that's what we're
