WEBVTT - Jackson, Henry, Hamilton & More: Ravens Press Conferences 10/17/24 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.240 Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. Today is Thursday, 0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.480 October seventeenth. Today we had a chance to hear from 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:10.400 head coach John Harball as Ravens prepare to face the 0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.920 Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week on Monday Night football. 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:20.160 All right, good seeing everybody, appreciate everybody being here, a 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.640 beautiful day, good practice. Are getting ready for a very 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.320 tough opponent Monday night football in their place. I'm sure 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.240 it'll be electric. And the Bucks you're playing at a 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.960 high level. Coach Bowls does a great job with that team. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.600 The whole staff does. Baker Mayfield playing at a high level. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.280 Offense is ranked the top of the pack, and so 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:42.960 many different categories defense flying around. So we're looking forward 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:44.960 to it and we understand the challenge it's in front 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:45.239 of us. 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.800 What question do you have John with there? 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:48.120 Henry? 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.920 I know you always going again to me. 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.199 You were familiar with me, But did you know the 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:54.319 extent of kind of what he does to. 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.560 Prepare for games and prepare for his body? 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:58.800 Did you know that before you met kind of mat him? 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:00.880 No, I didn't. I mean I hadn't been around him. 0:01:00.920 --> 0:01:02.520 You know, I always heard he was a good guy. 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.040 And he worked hard. But to see it firsthand, the 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.840 level of professionalism from Derrick Henry, it's, uh, it's it's 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.080 been great, and it's been really good for our young guys. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.800 I think to see that because you know, sometimes the 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.840 best leadership is by example, and he's certainly providing it 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:17.840 for those guys. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:20.319 Chris Gowin and Mike Evans. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:21.640 This the guys are playing at a high level. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:22.800 What kind of matchup. 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.039 Problems and these guys can hate, oh, tremendous matchup problems. 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.200 You know they've got they've got two of the best. 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.319 And uh, they put those guys in spots you know 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.920 usually usually uh, you know, fourteens in the slot, usually 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.360 thirteens out there at X. Uh you single it, you 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:37.120 single them up, he's a problem. And then you got 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.440 fourteen to slot. If you single him up, he's a problem. 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.560 They're both catch and run players. They're both contested catch players. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.039 Tight ends are playing well, blocking well, making making the 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.400 catches they need to make backs. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:48.560 Three backs playing well. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:51.440 They got a young guy just from Syracuse, is from 0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.120 right over here, Calvert Hawk. You know, he had a 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.960 bunch of yards and played great. So it's a very 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:57.680 deep offense. 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:01.400 Have you seen Baker evolved in these year one as 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.120 a rookie to now how the game changed? 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:06.640 You know, I don't know that it's really changed. I 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.919 think he's still playing like he plays. He's playing Baker ball, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.320 you know, at a very high level, you know, and 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:13.920 they've I think they've done a very good job of 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.360 building the offense around what he does well with his 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.280 his two star receivers. You know, offensive line is playing 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.799 well too, so all those things that kind of kind 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.120 of come together for him. It seems at this point. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.200 Luboarding is entering week seven hunboards where you to see 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.239 the team not getting destroyed only a day, going mentally 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.440 not only in their game, getting stronger, but multiply mentally 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.000 mentally stronger. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.280 Yeah, I mean, I hope, so you know that that's 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.720 kind of the thing. It's uh, hopefully you can just 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:48.440 continue to keep locked in, stay humble, work hard, maintain 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.959 your faith every single day and understand that it's a 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.280 long journey, you know, and it's a one week league. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.320 It's a one it's one day preparation, one day, one 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:58.960 play at a time, and it's a one week league. 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.440 All you can focus on is what's in front of you, 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.040 you know, and I do believe our guys have done 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.120 a very good job of that, and we need to 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:06.600 continue to do that job. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.280 You guys have like a kind of hard and fast 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.639 rule when you're playing someone like Mike Evans, and it's 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.079 a fifty to fifty ball about the kind of when 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.680 to turn your head, when to stay, you know, eyes 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:17.880 on receiver, to try to play a. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:18.320 Cutch of wind. 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.760 Yeah, that's a great that's a really great question. 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:22.200 You know. 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.400 I wish there was a hard and fast rule of when, 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.000 because the problem is no two situations are ever exactly 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:32.480 the same. You know, the timing, your leverage, your relationship, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:33.959 how far away you are, how close you are, where 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.880 the ball is when the ball gets there, all those 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.120 things are different. And it's probably more of a of 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:41.480 a of a just a reaction type of a thing 0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.440 if you play through your fundamentals, you know. So we 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:45.680 want to do a good job at the line. You're 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.880 talking about one on one against Mike Evans. You gotta 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.360 do a good job at the line. First of all, 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.960 maintain position when he releases, because he's so strong on 0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.560 the release. I've been down the field. Be in position 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.400 when the ball comes that way, so you have a 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.440 chance to make a play on the ball. You know, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.800 can't play through the receiver, you can fear with the receiver, 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.200 all those different things, but you can be in position 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.120 in that catch area in front of the receiver, near 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.720 the receiver to play the ball and then try to 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.480 play it well. So there's kind of principles and fundamentals 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.840 that go with that, and the fundamental technique football. Really 0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:19.680 it probably applies there, you know, maybe more than anywhere else. 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.960 John went to an aspect of your team is getting 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.000 a huge amount of praise, like the offenses right now 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.600 across the country, as your instinct as a coach to 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.320 sort of say, like, hold your horses, let's not get 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.080 ahead of ourselves. There's still a lot of work to do, 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:34.920 or like you just block it out. 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:35.640 I mean, what's your. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.159 Yeah, I think just put in perspective. I mean, it's 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.280 not hard for guys to remember what was being said 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.320 four weeks ago, five weeks ago. So noise is noise. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.880 New noise is new noise. So it doesn't matter. It's 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:49.800 just pretty much at the end of the day, it's 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.840 it's what you do every day to be the best 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.400 player that you can be. We seek improvement, you know, 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.719 we want to be We say one percent better, we 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.320 say better better today than yesterday, better tomorrow and today. 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.000 All those things we say. We're really trying to do 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.960 is is see if we can you know, improve on 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.720 one thing all the time. You know, that's the thing. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.400 So we're always improving on something all the time. And 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.200 if we can do that, then you know we're in 0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.640 a good place. Although all the rest of it is, 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.800 you know, no, guys read it. It's okay to read 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.680 good and bad. It's fine you read it, but it 0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.359 shouldn't really impact your process. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.120 John, you know, Lamar last Ture obviously having me a 0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.560 pe terrific year this season kind of you know, you 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:36.080 look at the way he's played on the stats and 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:39.520 just the way he's played a similar pace. What's the 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:44.000 difference going from year one to year two forgot for him? 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.599 And and is this maybe like the highest you've seen 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.719 so many so much at it over the years, like 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.960 it's this maybe the highest best version you've seen of him? 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.239 Yeah, yeah, well probably the answer honestly, answer is probably yes, 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.360 just because you know, he's the most far long as 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:03.280 he's been you know, uh, just as a player in 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.240 development wise, and he's steady, steadily, steadily always He's that 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.040 guy that kind of epitomizes what we're talking about there. 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.719 He's always seeking to improve, very much a perfectionist. He 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.479 wants to he wants every play to be perfect. He 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:19.040 chases perfection in his football. So I'd say, yeah, and 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.360 but I think his focus is on the next play, 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:22.279 you know, the next game. 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.640 John Hill was game one with DMPs and his senior advisable. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:30.880 It was good. 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.720 It was really good. I think Dean kind of got 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.159 settled in and and he and Zach and he's in 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.880 there with the defensive coaches. Uh, just being a being 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.000 a help and a sounding board and great input, great experience, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:42.719 good for all of us. You know, I have had a 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.039 chance to talk to him about different things, and you know, 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.159 you just, uh, it's always good to seek wise console. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.440 You know, it's a it's a it's a blessing to 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.839 seek wise console. So and indeed is definitely wise console 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:55.719 toper almost. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.640 We also heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:10.920 We're talking about just like you're twenty two and one against. 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:16.040 Why is that people want to know what from your perspective, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.120 why have you been so dominant against the NFC. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:24.600 Man just all around team effort, game planning. Probably just 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.080 just because we send each other once a year, so 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.640 it's like hard the game plan for us. So a 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:32.560 little bit of everything, Lamar, How can. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.040 You describe this chemistry with Derry. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:35.480 Henry so far? 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.960 What did you think you thought it was gonna be 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.560 that dominate on the running game? 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:40.200 Uh? 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:43.000 Yeah, yeah, I thought so, just because of what he's 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.960 able to do, you know, the type of running back 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.520 he years, and like him just wanting to want to 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:48.360 do everything right. 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.280 You know, if it's just some type of mistake and 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:51.000 be a mistake on. 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.600 My on my my my part, he gonna it's all good. 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:56.600 Like same thing with me. So it's like he just 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:57.720 make everything easier for me. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.560 As when you have Derrick Henry to fake the ball 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.160 to because he's such a threat to. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.360 Run, it very effective because guys like they trying to 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.160 stop him before he gets started, so they trying to hit. 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.560 ABC gap it really don't matter. They just trying to 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:13.080 stop him. 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:15.480 In the backfield before he's he get the rolling, you know, 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.000 get to a second level or third level. So that 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:19.640 play action definitely is effective. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:22.440 I know you like to say you don't play against 0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:23.240 the other quarterback. 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:27.280 Yeah, play, But what's your relationship with Baker Mayfield? 0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.000 And do you have any extra kick when you play 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.280 against another quarterback that was in your draft class? 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:34.720 No, you know, I just I just want to win, 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:35.000 you know. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.240 I go out there and I just want to look 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:38.360 at every game the same way. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:40.160 And he's a tremendous quarterback. 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.800 You know, he has been since college, ever since I've 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.800 on him, you know, even going back to Hosman, both 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.920 of us one Housman the year, back to back from 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.040 each other. Uh So, yeah, a little bit. You can 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:52.400 say we've got a relationship a little bit from there. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.080 But outside of football, I really don't be around other quarterbacks. 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.480 So I I don't know. Every time you ask me 0:08:58.520 --> 0:09:01.000 about another quarterback, it's like know what to say. You know, 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.080 I love the game. I love his game. 0:09:03.160 --> 0:09:05.200 Man, he's still the same person from what I see, 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.600 you know from Afar. He's still the same Baker, still 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.079 making things happen for those guys. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.520 Coach just talked about how you would like to be 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:14.360 a perfectionist. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.240 That being said, the way the offense is playing, Uh yeah, 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.319 I mean things are things. 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:23.920 Going the way you expect it a little bit better 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:25.920 as a room for improvement being a perfection. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:30.200 Definitely room for improvement because, uh, sometimes things go the 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.920 way I wanted to less sometimes they don't, and uh, 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:35.520 sometimes I feel a way about it, you know, I 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:39.120 get mad at myself. So yeah, but it's still like 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.240 you said, it's room for improvement with our offense. You know, 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.079 it's not a perfect offense. No offense is, but we're 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.680 still working trying to get somewhere. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.199 So the more you seem to have a real mastery 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:51.199 of the offense, the line of you're playing this is 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.439 a high level. Do you feel like like right now 0:09:53.480 --> 0:09:56.280 this season that you're playing as well as as you 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:56.680 ever have. 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.760 I just think, my you know, my everything is like 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:02.240 slow down even more, just from the years I've been 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:05.080 in the league and seeing all type of defense, seeing 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.920 all types of blixes. Uh, everything is just second nature 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.120 right now. So I'm just trying to be a better 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:12.960 player of myself, you know, each and every year. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.760 So I just say, everything's just slowing down. That's what's 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:16.120 helping it. 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.880 You hear more and more people around the country to say, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.480 Raven something or you or you just I don't wanna 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:22.760 hear it. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.400 I mean, people gonna say whatever they want to say. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:25.800 You know. 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.959 Uh, we were just on to and we were the 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:29.120 worst offense in the league. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.360 So you know, just being foreign too right now, people 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:35.160 gonna still say whatever they gonna say, you know, cause 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.200 it can be a game we can come out with 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:39.920 a with a win, but an ugly offensive game in there. 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:41.520 So you know, it's the worst offense. So it's like 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.280 each and every week it's gonna be something different. We 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.839 just gotta focus on trying to be the best Raven 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.680 offense that the Ravens ever had. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.600 Is there's something to the Florida connection? You know, you say, 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.760 Derek Henry all Florida guys, that trio going back to 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:55.920 Florida this weekend? 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:57.400 Is there something. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:03.120 Than other guys? What's what's with the Florida connection? What's 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:03.520 behind it? 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:04.280 Man? 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.199 It's like that's what we breed down there, like just football. 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.000 A lot of football players, don't get me wrong. We 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.520 have some basketball players here and there are probably some 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:12.640 doctors and lawyers, but. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.840 So we breed football players. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:16.080 Man. 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.560 We there's something we do down There's like a big 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.120 family gathering on saturdays, you know, use football. There's always 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.800 been that way from what I've known, you know, just 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:27.440 somebody that's loving football down there. 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:33.040 That's all alight when you you know, I know you're 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:35.480 focused on the next game and the season so forth. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:36.520 But here we are. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.400 You know, when it's six weeks in your name comes 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.280 up in m VP conversations again, do you. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:42.600 Do you hear? 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.160 That stuff is sort of what do you think if 0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:47.720 it is an easy to block out, how do you 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.199 how do you kind of manage when all that hype 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:52.480 I guess starts building again. 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:55.880 I know how I feel to be on too. I 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.600 really don't care about the hype, you know, and not 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.439 just being on too.
