WEBVTT - John Harbaugh: Ravens Press Conference 11/18/24

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Raves Press Pass podcast. The Ravens fell

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.879
<v Speaker 1>to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, losing eighteen to sixteen

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to drop them to seven and four on the season.

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>On Monday, we had a chance to hear from head

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>coach John Harbaugh during his standard weekly press.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>No updates right now. We're just monitoring it as we

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>go here and he'll be working to get ready for

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>the game.

0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 3>After looking at.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 4>The film from the three point version out there, seemed

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 4>like the Steelers were saying afterwards that they the players.

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 2>Going in the direction, Well, it didn't work. You know,

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:49.919
<v Speaker 2>I think anytime you got to play it didn't work,

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>you kind of look at it very critically. I mean,

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 2>we're we're disappointing that play. You want to have a

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>better play up there, better play call, the better executed play,

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>everything along those lines. So I think you know, in

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 2>every game whether you win or lose, but especially when

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>you lose, and especially when it's an opportunity to tie

0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the game at the end after a hard fought game

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 2>like that, you got to look at those plays really hard.

0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's when we'd like to have back just across board.

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Maybe not per se along those lines. Not having Derek

0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 3>on the field for that play.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 2>To do things, I guess, yeah, I don't know, really,

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure about the question. I just think there's play.

0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>There are plays where guys are on the field. The

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>guys are on the field for specific types of plays,

0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, and depends on the type of play, whether

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>Mark's out there or Isaiah's out there, Orse's out there,

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 2>or baits out there or whoever. Dereck Henry is a

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 2>great football player and you want him out there situationally,

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 2>but he's not out there for every play. So, like

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I said after the game, that's the play that was called.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's the personnel group that it was set

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 2>up in through a lot of a lot of game planning.

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, coaches are they're in early, they're home late,

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and they try to put the best We all try

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 2>to put the best play we can together and come

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.600
<v Speaker 2>up with the best plays, and when it doesn't work out,

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, it hurts, it's bad and you really feel

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 2>you feel disappointed about it because it's it's it's your job,

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 2>it's what you want to get done well. So all

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 2>the little nuances within that are all things that disappoint you,

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.960
<v Speaker 2>but every player is not on the field for every play.

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to have had a better play there, you know,

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and I like to have had a successful play. So

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>you look back on it and that's how you feel

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 2>about it. You feel bad.

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:34.079
<v Speaker 3>About its successful in it.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 5>Was there any thoughts of maybe seeing a key and

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 5>that he wasn't very involved offensively?

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 2>Yes, he was.

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 5>There a thought just to see what a different look

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 5>with him and there I know he's run such a

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 5>different dynamic.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, the way the way you're asking it is it

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.920
<v Speaker 2>just to be like experimental. No, there's no thought to

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.000
<v Speaker 2>experiment in that game right there. Keaton's a guy we

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>want to get involved, for sure. He's only been back

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.919
<v Speaker 2>for two weeks, you know, coming back from a knee injury. Uh,

0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the way the game went, we only got Derek twelve

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 2>carries as it was, thirteen carries as it was, so

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you want to get him more. You know. We only

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>had like fifty two or fifty three offensive plays. We

0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't have as many throws or runs or anything else

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 2>that we wanted. So now to try to get a

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>specific player in the game, you could say the same

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>thing about any other player. You want to get a

0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 2>more rep more reps, more opportunities, you probably need more plays,

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>and to get more plays, you need more successful plays,

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>more first downs, more yards. We were off the field

0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a couple of times real quick two I think two

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>of our series were off the field in two or

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 2>three plays. So it just cuts down the opportunities for everybody.

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>John made a.

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 6>Change in safety with Ardarius Washington in places. Mor what

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.840
<v Speaker 6>do you mean have you seen Kamar Darius up until

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 6>this point for him to earn this opportunity, and then

0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 6>how do you think he played or he played every

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 6>snap because the only guy.

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 7>Who did that.

0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was a plan going in. Those two guys

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 2>we tried, we had you know, we were trying to

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.480
<v Speaker 2>attack some issues that we had in the back end,

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>as everybody knows. And I thought I thought they played

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>well back there. Those guys did a good job. Where

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Darius had earned that opportunity, earned that chance by by

0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>by the way he practiced, and then also by the

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>way he played when he was in there during the

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 2>during the course of the season. We put Kyle back

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>there as well. I thought he played very well back there.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 2>He did a great job communicating. But they both did

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and they played well so that would definitely be a

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 2>formula going forward. And then you know, still the guys

0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 2>that are here with us are still going to be

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>working to do whatever they can to help us win.

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 6>It seems almost an inconceivable question over the last decade.

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 3>But he's already thought to.

0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 7>Bring a competition for Justin Tucker as a tryout candidates.

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Or anything at this point. No, no, there's no thought

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to that. I mean, you have to find that competition first.

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Just if you're going to be blunt about it, you know,

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 2>where is that competition? That would be one thing. And

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 2>the best option right now is to get Justin you know,

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 2>back on point where where he's because he's fully capable

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>of doing it. Certainly haven't lost any confidence in Justin Tucker.

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, you saw that on the fifty four yarder

0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and we sent him out for and he drilled it.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's the Justin Tuk that he wants to see,

0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 2>that we all want to see on every kick. And uh,

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.400
<v Speaker 2>he's definitely our best option and he's going to make

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of kicks. I really believe that going forward.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's up to him, you know, it's up to

0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 2>him and the guys he works with every day to

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>make those balls go straight. So that's not competition right

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>now at this time. Now, that's not something we want

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:24.520
<v Speaker 2>to for Justin. We just got to compete to get

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 2>better and make those kicks, those field goals.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 5>Are you seeing it as is it on the kicking side?

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 8>That is there?

0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 5>Is there anything going on in part of the other

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 5>mechanics that go into it, whether it's the hold or anything.

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Else, not specifically, it's just a it's just a matter

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of that. It's their team, they work together. I think

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:44.440
<v Speaker 2>when things go well, Justin credits those guys really well,

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think they all take responsibility, you know, for

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.239
<v Speaker 2>every good thing or for and for everything it doesn't

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:49.679
<v Speaker 2>go well.

0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 7>Is there any way to look at the number of

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 7>kind of hees the offensive mine, especially in this last game,

0:05:55.160 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 7>which is throughout the year, you know, holds the goal field. Obviously,

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 7>one of the strengths of this office is the marketability

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 7>to improvise the hole of them all with give us

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.720
<v Speaker 7>these time, but with some of those plays kicking the

0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:14.440
<v Speaker 7>ball off faster, we help addressing of those.

0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 9>Kind of ties.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Well. The holding penalties run runs, and those are penalties

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:22.400
<v Speaker 2>that hurt us. I mean it's just to start with

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.600
<v Speaker 2>what type of penalties we're talking about. First of all,

0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 2>too many penalties, way too many penalties. The penalties on

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 2>offense are the one thing that is holding us back.

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 2>That's the biggest issue. It shows up in different ways.

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.080
<v Speaker 2>So holding penalties on run plays, Yeah, color separation, it's happening,

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 2>and we're grabbing those guys and it's getting called. It's

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 2>putting us to you know, it's putting us to first

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.880
<v Speaker 2>and twenty, it's putting us to second and nineteen. And

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>we're probably the best get back on track offense in

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>the league right now overcoming those things. But we shouldn't

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 2>have to overcome them. When you play defense like we played,

0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 2>or you're play in a game like we were playing

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>in sometimes it becomes too high amount in the scale.

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>And that's why we didn't score as many points. That's

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.359
<v Speaker 2>really the number one reason, because we were behind the

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 2>sticks too much because of the penalties. So holding penalties

0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 2>run game, no holding penalties in the past game. We've

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>been pretty good in pass protection. We haven't had too

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 2>many holding penalties in pass protection. I give our line

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 2>a lot of credit for that, especially the way Lamar

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.840
<v Speaker 2>moves around I think they do a great job of

0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>blocking for Lamar that way. The linemen downfield penalties in

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>this game, there was one that happened on a run

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>play that got taken out kind of like we took

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 2>it outside to the right. I think we could have

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 2>held our water on the lne of scrimm is there

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 2>a little better. The other the other ones were screens,

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, where the screens get held up and the

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>timing gets messed up. So that's tough. But we still

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>got to try to find a way to be intentional

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 2>about that and not get downfield. But I will say,

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 2>on the screens, when they cover the screen and it

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.760
<v Speaker 2>gets delayed, that's a tougher deal. Other types of penalties

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 2>help me out, that's yeah, I'm trying to be like

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 2>really specific about us. You get, oh, the special yeah, yeah,

0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean the special teams penalties aren't acceptable. I mean

0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>they back you up and put you put you behind,

0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>and those those are both unnecessary penalties, and they're both

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.320
<v Speaker 2>technique penalties, you know. Uh one of them was a

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>leverage penalty and the kickoff return and in terms of

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>not setting up the right way and the right spot,

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 2>get beat across your face grab the guy, okay. Not okay,

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>We work hard on that. The other one was the

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 2>punt return downfield. You don't you don't put your hands

0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>on you don't try to you don't try to block

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:38.400
<v Speaker 2>somebody on the tip of the shoulder pad because it

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 2>inevitably it becomes the back, you know, on the punt return.

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Coach that all the time. Not okay, there's techniques involved

0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:48.480
<v Speaker 2>with that. Special teams is all about fundamentals and techniques,

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, and understanding the spacing and the geometry of

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.760
<v Speaker 2>those plays, and that's we've got to be better at that.

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 4>Penalties and see that as like discipline and like of

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 4>discipline gets put on the shoulders of coaching. What can

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:09.200
<v Speaker 4>be done to eliminate these issues moving forward down the stretch.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Here, Yeah, it's across the board. It's everything. I mean,

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the buck stops here, Harry Truman right stops with me.

0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.320
<v Speaker 2>So it's my job to make sure that we're doing

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 2>the things that we got to do. And we've from

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.960
<v Speaker 2>a coaching standpoint, from drill standpoint, from emphasis standpoint, technique standpoint,

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and making sure you guys understand that you know, it's

0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.600
<v Speaker 2>not okay, it's not acceptable. We've all got to be

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 2>intentional about getting it stopped, and my job to make

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>sure that everybody's focused.

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.320
<v Speaker 4>On Justin for a second.

0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 10>Is there any way to change up the problem solving

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 10>the process for him having to talk to somebody else,

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 10>different voice in there, or do you just sort of

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.120
<v Speaker 10>have to trust the process that has worked so well

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 10>for so many.

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Years, try to attack everything to the utmost that we

0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 2>can across the board. And you know, Justin is one

0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:58.680
<v Speaker 2>of the aspects that we're looking at. I mean, he's

0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.640
<v Speaker 2>going to get it figured out. We have coaches, we

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:04.360
<v Speaker 2>have technique, we look at the tape he's practicing, well,

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>he's got to kick it straight.

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:11.560
<v Speaker 8>Don't be more than Eddie Jackson staying home.

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 2>And also another question that safety is Sneeze Kinge's updated.

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Really no injury updates right now. There's MRIs today and

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>things like that, So we'll see where we're at after

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>all information comes in. I really don't have anything to

0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:31.560
<v Speaker 2>say about any of those personnel decisions that get made

0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 2>or why they get made. Some of those things are

0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 2>are just in house conversations that we have and and

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it stops there, and other things are just weak to

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 2>weak decisions that you make I mean, you make decisions

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>week to week. It's a week to week lead. And

0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.319
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty clear, you know. I say that a lot

0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>up here, and I think we all know that. You know.

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.559
<v Speaker 2>It's it's you can't get too high, you can't get

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.680
<v Speaker 2>too low. You're not as good as you it's not

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>as good as you think when things are going well,

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and you're not as you're not as bad as you

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 2>think when things are going well. It's a long season

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 2>and we've got a big game next week, So what

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>what worked last week or what the plan was last week,

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 2>whether it's play calls or who's on the field or

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 2>who plays. It evolves to the next week, and you've

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>got to look at your circumstances and meet them where

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 2>they're at, you know, just decide what's our best avenue strategy.

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>What can we do to try to win this next

0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 2>game against an opponent that's doing the same thing against you,

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.400
<v Speaker 2>trying to find a way to exploit anything they can

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to win the game. That's just the nature of this

0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.679
<v Speaker 2>competitive business, you know. So it's it's always going to

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 2>be like that, man. It's conflict, it's clashing, it's too

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>high level, you know, operations going against each other in battle,

0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, football battle. That's the beauty of it, that's

0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:49.680
<v Speaker 2>the challenge of it. You can't get all down on

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 2>yourself and start saying, oh, you know, we didn't do

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>this right, we didn't do that right. We're gonna beat

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.440
<v Speaker 2>ourselves up. You feel bad about it, but then you

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 2>put yourself off the mat and you go to work

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 2>because we've got a big game coming up. If we

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 2>win this game, we're gonna in great shape. If we

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>don't win this game, it's not gonna be the end

0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.599
<v Speaker 2>of the world. You know, that's just the fact, and

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>we'll go to the next game. So we got a

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 2>bunch of fighters, we got a bunch of competitors, and

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna make the best decisions we can that are

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:16.680
<v Speaker 2>best for our team to play the best football that

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>they can the very next week coming up.

0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 6>You started outings in grenavious way in the dime Hadge

0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 6>obviously you guys used four corners, but it seems like

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 6>he played more and more, even you know, when you were.

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.720
<v Speaker 4>In nickel with in the fourth quarter, how did he look?

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 6>And you know, do you feel like he's going to

0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 6>be in the mix more and warming the poor beating

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 6>off that.

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I thought Trey had a real good game. It's

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>worked really hard to pick up the defense, and still

0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.240
<v Speaker 2>a few things he learned, like we you know, all

0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 2>of our guys are still learning things. We all are.

0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.319
<v Speaker 2>But I thought he played well and I think he's

0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 2>a He's a nice piece for us back there, great addition.

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking forward to his continuing role and his expanding role.

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 5>Jo.

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.520
<v Speaker 10>When you when you went back and looked at it,

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.280
<v Speaker 10>what did the Steelers do well defensively to make it

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 10>life difficult for you?

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>They played really good Childs. I mean they're aggressive, they're physical,

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 2>they made tackles. We didn't exploit some of the things.

0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 2>And there are guys running open sometimes we didn't have

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.040
<v Speaker 2>time to get to or whatever. We just didn't capitalize

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 2>when we could. We had the penalties that set us

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 2>behind schedule. So you know, it's a combination of all

0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>those things. Can't really narrow it down to one.

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.200
<v Speaker 5>Thing, John, Obviously, a game like that is a little

0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 5>small as details matter. Was how frustrating was it just

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:27.440
<v Speaker 5>thinking back to the interception of justice He'll get the

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.800
<v Speaker 5>ball ticket from just to see them making the plays

0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.839
<v Speaker 5>that you feel like, you know the winning plays in

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 5>that game and your side not being able to make

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 5>as many as you like.

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's disappointing. Those the things that you want to do.

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>You want to find ways to win the game. John

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 2>One thing.

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 9>Lamars said, the approachate the skates like you thought maybe

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.640
<v Speaker 9>at one point they were becoming any game the teams.

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.520
<v Speaker 7>To heights And you don't want to.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 9>Say that that applies to everyone and it's our opinion,

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 9>but is there anything to they take from maybe that

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:03.840
<v Speaker 9>stay from one of your leaders. Did you see maybe

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.200
<v Speaker 9>a mental approach that was sort of butterflies or anything

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 9>like that can win that game?

0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:11.559
<v Speaker 2>No, I didn't see that.

0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.840
<v Speaker 8>Personal question. But David Ajava was a healthy scratch at

0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.320
<v Speaker 8>the third time this season yet at easta Isaac playing

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 8>this game, and you can gotway him a couple of

0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 8>times differently. What does he need to do to see

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 8>the field or what do you need to see from

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 8>him in practice?

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I have those conversations with the guys personally

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>every single day, and so you make those decisions based

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>on who gives and what and who and when and

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>how gives you the best chance. You think that in

0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>that game that week, and there's a lot of things

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 2>that go in each of those decisions.

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 10>A lot of defensive players said communication is still the

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:52.800
<v Speaker 10>reason for a.

0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 8>Lot of their mistakes.

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.400
<v Speaker 2>That guy can repeat that, Can you repeat that?

0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? A lot of defensive players said communication is still

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 5>reason for a lot of their mistates, but that it

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 5>took a really big step forward this game.

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 2>How do you have communication issues?

0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 5>And why do you think did start to clip for that?

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought we came out and played good in this game,

0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 2>but you know we can play better. You know there's

0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 2>things that we can do better on defense. For sure.

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 2>We'll look at all those things just like we did

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>last week.

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Next just cause you played a little better this week

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 2>doesn't mean you're gonna pay better next week. We were

0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 2>trying to chase perfection, uh, in every aspect of what

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 2>we do. But it's a it's a challenging deal because

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>you got an opponent over there that's coming after you

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 2>an attack and you it's it's back and forth, you know, uh,

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 2>And hopefully you can make those stops and make those plays.

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm proud of the guys. I thought the effort, the intensity,

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 2>the lock the guys were locked in and focused communication.

0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought was good on defense, really good, and we'll

0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:55.600
<v Speaker 2>just keep trying to improve and get better and try

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 2>to win the next game.

0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 9>John isn't a recent injury.

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.920
<v Speaker 2>But are we've met about Michael Peers.

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 9>Is he getting closer to being an optioners?

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>That's still well, he was an IR so when he

0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 2>comes off I R you know, then you'll know. But

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:11.080
<v Speaker 2>he's working hard every day. He's working hard every data

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 2>to get healthy and get back out there and he

0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:14.360

<v Speaker 3>at the calf last week that something it could be

0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 3>longer term potential injury reserve.

0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.720

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 2>at this point, so just have to see how it heals.
