Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Past Podcast. It is Monday,

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: August fourteenth. The Ravens were back on the practice field

3
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: this afternoon after pre season opener of victory over the

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Eagles on Saturday. After practice, which is a light practice,

00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 1: head coach John Harball address the media.

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: Okay, first of all, before we get started, I want

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: to I want to welcome to the family of Eli A.

8
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: Gonzalez who are here today. Had a chance to talk

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: with them, Elia's mom, amazing kids, what a great family

10
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: it is, and what a tragedy it was. And I

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 2: just want to say, and I know we say this,

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: but we're determined to do the things that we can do,

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: partner with their family, our foundation and others to make

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: a difference in these areas that are experience in this

15
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: trauma and this violence, which has to end. There's no

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: reason for it. And just thank them for being here,

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: for the love that they have for each other, for

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: the great family that they are and continue to be like.

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: We all strive to be just like them.

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: So I just want to welcome them here and thank

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: them for coming out.

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 3: Okay, we got all the.

23
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: Kids out here today again and we appreciate that and

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: we had a good, good practice. We're excited about the

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: Commanders coming in tomorrow and Wednesday to practice.

26
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 3: Were looking forward to it.

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: Ron and I have talked extensively about the practices and

28
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: the practice schedule and the format and the tempos and

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: all those things, and we're on the same page. You're

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: actually going to meet with them tonight. Some of their

31
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: players are coming up tonight. We'll meet with some of

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 2: our players and get on the same page with the

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: drills and things like that. That's always helpful. We've done

34
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: that over the years, and we're excited about that part

35
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: of it too. So we just can't wait to have

36
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: two productive days against a very good football team, a

37
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: very well coached team. We're looking forward to that. So

38
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: what questions you have to meet with Godler, Well, we

39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: made it normal to meet with them. Sometimes we do

40
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: it the day of we're practicing in the morning. So

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: we decided to do it, you know, tonight when they

42
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: come up, they're gonna they're gonna branch off for that

43
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: group and come over here, and I think they wanted

44
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: to see the set up too, so but I think

45
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: it is normal to just try to get together beforehand

46
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: and build a plan kind of everybody communicate and try

47
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: to get the most out of it we can.

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: General. We kept asking the past few weeks about take

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: Dobbinson's out there on the field. How's it feeling to

50
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: have him back on the field.

51
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: It feels good to have him back there on the field.

52
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: He's excited. We're all excited. We'll probably ramp him up

53
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: a little bit this week and kind of work him

54
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: in there and try to be smart in how we

55
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: do it. But uh, but he'll he'll be fine. He's

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 2: he's he's one hundred percent healthy.

57
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: It looks good. He's been training hard, so he's ready

58
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: to go. John, why didn't today work work out to

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 3: be the day?

60
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't know. I think it just

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: worked out for whatever reasons it worked out. I'm just

62
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: try not to look at it too deeply and be

63
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: grateful John.

64
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 3: Hell's Hell's tias bells are progressing. It does it get

65
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 3: to a point where they're concerned about him being ready.

66
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: For a record. It hasn't gotten to that point. They

67
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: feel good about it. I mean, you know, it's just

68
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: a it's a it's an agitated knee. I guess there's

69
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: not really anything other to say about that, and I

70
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: think they are being cautious.

71
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: I will say, uh, and they.

72
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: Feel like today they did say his hee look the best.

73
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: It's luck, you know, swelling things like that. So you know,

74
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: I know he'll be back for the season. But I

75
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: know as well as you can know. You know there's

76
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: not a serious problem in there. It's just him getting

77
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: right for him to play to his highest level.

78
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: John, we didn't see James crochet out. There is everything

79
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 3: going right with him after Saturday's game.

80
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: Sure, James had a contusion kind of a hip back,

81
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 2: kind of buttocks thing type thing, so he could have

82
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: practice tomorrow maybe, but I don't know if he will

83
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: just we may. We may just hold him out another

84
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: day or not. We had a couple of other things.

85
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: Tyler has a hamstring tweak, so we'll be conscious with

86
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: that for a little while here. We're not going to

87
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: be in a hurry on that one either. I think

88
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: about the hamstrings. You just don't want to redo it,

89
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: you know, you want to you don't want to re

90
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: injure it. We want We really have been very cautious

91
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 2: with the ham strings of late, so we'll probably continue

92
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: that trend.

93
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: I'm toad you guys didn't have very many offensive steps

94
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 3: in the years to have in these games that impact

95
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 3: at all.

96
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: How you allocated playing.

97
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: Time for the next year.

98
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: Well, not for the practices because they're just set up already.

99
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: It's kind of even offensive defense. It may have some

100
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: you know, I think the starters are going to get

101
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: a lot of reps these next two practices, so they

102
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: didn't play in the game, so it probably won't pact

103
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: as much as all that. But the other guys want

104
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: to practice too, so they'll be out there and it'll

105
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: be just kind of what it is.

106
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: John, going back and looking at it with the own

107
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: tas Saturn Night, wouldn't the biggest struck for you is

108
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 3: like that their kings went nation all like, yeah, exactly.

109
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 3: I mean that's how you always feel, Pete, no doubt.

110
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 2: I think I really appreciated was the aspect of what

111
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 2: we would call winning football, which is why I wore

112
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: the T shirt today. I thought our guys understood that

113
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 2: we played situational football very well. The high leverage situations

114
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: we did very well in you know, the sudden changed situations,

115
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: the turnovers we created, some of the short yarded situations.

116
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: I thought we did really well with it. You know,

117
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: a two minutes and both ends, both the end of

118
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: the half. Then we came out and scored with the

119
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: first drive, which is a big deal around halftime, and

120
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: then two minut and at the end of the game

121
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: and four minute to finish. Those are all things that

122
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: have been emphasises for us, and that was really why

123
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: the game was won in the end.

124
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't that we outplayed anybody. We probably didn't.

125
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 2: They probably did, you know, because they played very well,

126
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: But we won the game because of those things.

127
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 3: I don't think it's Saturday.

128
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: You guys had four sacks, look out a lot of pressure,

129
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: but it seemed like there was a place that just

130
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: over ninety percent of the way in there and not

131
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: getting home. Are there any specific adjustments that joll counting

132
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: for sacks, gfl as ways that you.

133
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Look kept up.

134
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean four sacks pretty good, you know, so

135
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: we're we're not complaining about that, but you know there

136
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: were more that were close and sometimes you don't get there.

137
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a big, physical, good offensive line. The

138
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: ball comes out quick with that offense. You know, they

139
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: got the ball at quick on some seams and some fades.

140
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: I thought that they made some good throws and catches

141
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: on that was really the bulk of their offense and

142
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 2: quarterbacks scrambles. They did run the ball a little bit

143
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: more with the inside zone stuff for their temple than

144
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: we would want to see, so we want to firm

145
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: that up. But mostly it's the seams and the fades

146
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: and the quarterback scrambles is where they got most of

147
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 2: their yards.

148
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: We know when the center squad practices, they can get

149
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 3: pretty intense. Where you expected the intensity level to be

150
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: at what instant.

151
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: Teas, Oh, I mean, as it's gonna be an intense practice,

152
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 2: there's no doubt because that's that's how these guys are.

153
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 3: You know, they're they're they're they always are.

154
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL teams always practice very well and

155
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: very hard, and especially when you go against each other,

156
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: you want to put your best foot forward, and we

157
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: want to put our best foot forward in every way.

158
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,480

Speaker 2: don't want more reps going on when you have one

195
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: position get light than those The guys who are practicing

196
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: take a little more rep more reps than you want

197
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: to take in the day, or more at risk.
