Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast.
Speaker 2: The Ravens fell to the Kansas City Chiefs twenty seven
Speaker 2: to twenty in the season opener Thursday night.
Speaker 1: After the game, we heard from head coach John Harball.
Speaker 3: Good heart fought football game, very exciting football game, a
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of a lot of back and forth.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of the where our guys play, you know,
Speaker 3: I think the way we fought, the way we competed,
Speaker 3: the challenges that we faced, just by the situation of
Speaker 3: the game and all the things going on around the game,
Speaker 3: and obviously the challenge that our opponent presents us, which
Speaker 3: is a great opponent, and then the university throughout the
Speaker 3: course of the game is a challenge. I thought our guys,
Speaker 3: you know, met all those things, all those setbacks at times,
Speaker 3: and and and fought like crazy to overcome it, you know.
Speaker 3: And it looked like we had an opportunity here to
Speaker 3: to to tie the game up or or try to
Speaker 3: win it with a two point conversion. So it didn't
Speaker 3: happen at the end, but probably the way the guys fought,
Speaker 3: We're only going to get better from here on that
Speaker 3: and I'm looking forward to that I'm really looking forward
Speaker 3: to getting back to work next week and getting ready
Speaker 3: for the Raiders.
Speaker 4: John.
Speaker 5: Just starting with obviously, Isaiah was huge for you guys
Speaker 5: all the night.
Speaker 6: And even battle and acted game on the deal.
Speaker 7: That last position of what you see.
Speaker 8: Out of him and what do.
Speaker 5: You tell him after coming so.
Speaker 3: Falls Oh, I think Isaiah played just a great football
Speaker 3: game of courageous game. I made so many plays, especially
Speaker 3: down the stretch, play after play put Lamar obviously in
Speaker 3: the same category. All those guys. I mean, those guys
Speaker 3: were making plays and fighting. The offensive line I thought
Speaker 3: did a heck of a job out there. A lot
Speaker 3: of question marks that you know, the pundits and the
Speaker 3: prognosticators had about the offensive line saying that with that
Speaker 3: offensive line we couldn't do anything. And the way they
Speaker 3: went out there and played against that defense, I thought
Speaker 3: was pretty impressive. And that's a challenge, especially in this environment.
Speaker 3: Communication and there's good there were problems on both sides,
Speaker 3: but I thought Isaiah played a great football game. I
Speaker 3: was proud of him and a lot of other guys too.
Speaker 6: What are kind of emotions though, at the end of
Speaker 6: the game, when you feel like, okay, you've tied the game,
Speaker 6: and then you're told.
Speaker 3: What you're talking about motions, you're disappointed, he thought. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know what it looked like on the replay,
Speaker 3: so I can't say, but I really couldn't tell them
Speaker 3: the big screen, you guys probably had a better viewpoint of.
Speaker 4: It, so.
Speaker 9: Legal perm.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they put a thing out.
Speaker 3: That they said they were gonna call that differently. I
Speaker 3: think understanding how differently we were the first offensive series
Speaker 3: of the season with that, and I think they saw
Speaker 3: probably everybody watching it. It'll be interesting to see if
Speaker 3: they call it the same way the whole season, and
Speaker 3: I'll challenge him to call it the same way to
Speaker 3: call it tonight the whole season, so hopefully they'll be
Speaker 3: consistent about that.
Speaker 7: Lamar has called Kansas City his kryptonite. I feel about
Speaker 7: his late drive and just give me a confidence moving
Speaker 7: forward if you played them again.
Speaker 3: I thought his late drive was great, and I thought
Speaker 3: he had some other good drives in there, some great
Speaker 3: conversions in there. So we'll be looking forward to the rate.
Speaker 3: You know, we've got to get ready for the for
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and that'll be a big challenge for us
Speaker 3: in our in our own home stadium a home opener,
Speaker 3: so that's what we'll be getting ready for.
Speaker 8: Check how much was communication defensively early in the midway
Speaker 8: through the third quarter difficult where you had to take
Speaker 8: the two timeouts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just had some issues with uh, the substitutions
Speaker 3: back and forth. They were running, you know, different groups
Speaker 3: on the field and stuff like that, and and we
Speaker 3: did have some communication problems. That's something that we'll have
Speaker 3: to iron out. For sure. We can be better with that.
Speaker 3: We will be better with that, uh and that you know,
Speaker 3: it wasn't what we wanted, so we'll have to improve
Speaker 3: on that.
Speaker 10: We will challenge is something happened on the TV pass
Speaker 10: where Worthy slipped behind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we just didn't play the defense exactly where obviously
Speaker 3: we didn't play the defense right. There's nobody deep back there.
Speaker 3: So that was a that was that was We had
Speaker 3: certain mistakes during the game that were problem. Substitutions weren't issue.
Speaker 3: That was probably the one big mistake we had. The
Speaker 3: rest of the way, I thought our defense played really well.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, that's a heck of an offense
Speaker 3: out there, and our guys played so hard, fought, uh,
Speaker 3: fought against the run. I thought they'd a job against
Speaker 3: the run covering their guys. You know, it's not easy
Speaker 3: with all the screens and all different things they do.
Speaker 3: And then you've got my homes who extends. And I
Speaker 3: thought d Line and our rushers did a good job
Speaker 3: of keeping him in there, especially in the second half.
Speaker 3: You know, so so many good things happened. Uh, but
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of things to work on,
Speaker 3: for sure, there's no doubt, and that that would be
Speaker 3: one of them.
Speaker 7: All right, there's great thanks.
Speaker 1: We also heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 11: So he's touched down pleas.
Speaker 9: He's saying, you said that, James, I thought I wasn't
Speaker 9: touching me. I thought it was a touchdown, though I
Speaker 9: still think it's a touchdown.
Speaker 5: Lam are also fault targets for as they have Just
Speaker 5: what what goes into that connection? And how did you
Speaker 5: kind of see him beside from the last way really, M.
Speaker 3: Mean, he was just opening you know what I'm seeing.
Speaker 9: I don't wanna get it wrong, but it looked like
Speaker 9: thirty two and twenty was like turning to like pursue
Speaker 9: him when they realized where the ball was going. So
Speaker 9: I threw af threw it so he can like make
Speaker 9: a play on it, just so I don't throw it
Speaker 9: like a line job to hit him in the face
Speaker 9: mask and they turn around to pick the ball. So
Speaker 9: I give him, give him balls so he can jump.
Speaker 4: A little bit.
Speaker 9: But I thought he did a a great job acrobatic catch.
Speaker 9: And I believe it was two fee down.
Speaker 8: You know what, I'm staying on that m little more
Speaker 8: of the press boxes in the clouds, so it's hard
Speaker 8: to see what's going on there to play before the flowers.
Speaker 8: Did that ball get tifted out of your hand or
Speaker 8: was that just just missfiring?
Speaker 4: No, I'm actually it was uh. I went scrambled.
Speaker 9: I seen Chris Jones was on uh Justice Hill. Justice
Speaker 9: Hill was blocking Chris Jones, so I was trying to
Speaker 9: help Justice out and I try to get out of
Speaker 9: the pocket, and I seen Bateman like flying across, so
Speaker 9: I'm thinking baitman gonna stop And as them throwing the ball,
Speaker 9: I see Za flying cross. I'm like, can't ms I
Speaker 9: that wasn't the intended.
Speaker 4: For uh uh l ja flowers. So yeah, I was.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 9: I was teeed off about that cause I'm like, if
Speaker 9: I wuda held on to a little bit more I
Speaker 9: would have just fired at the za the touch.
Speaker 6: So you didn't see it until the very end.
Speaker 9: Yeah, Like when I threw the oh I seen him.
Speaker 9: I'm like like, I wanna say something other, but I'm like, damn.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 8: Lamar m is what you guys as an offense go
Speaker 8: in to expect the crackdown on illegal formations? Or was
Speaker 8: there a confusion with how that was being called?
Speaker 9: Oh man, we would definitely were in practice. We we
Speaker 9: didn't have that, you know, we had rest that practice,
Speaker 9: you know, throughout camp and stuff like that. We didn't
Speaker 9: feel like we rarely had a call like that, you know,
Speaker 9: So for that to go down at in a game
Speaker 9: like this first game of the season, things happening you.
Speaker 7: Called Kansas City or krypton Nite in the past.
Speaker 6: Is the last drive is not my Kryman Knight?
Speaker 4: What's that?
Speaker 11: It's not my Kryman Knight.
Speaker 10: Okay, So does that last drive give you encouragement or
Speaker 10: does it give you frustrated that you were two inches short.
Speaker 9: The whole game? Give me encouragement, you know, cause I
Speaker 9: believe our guys are fighting, you know. Unfortunately we had
Speaker 9: penalties every time we had a almost an explosive every
Speaker 9: time we had an explosive lamar, when you guys are going.
Speaker 10: To do tempo there in the fourth quarter to the
Speaker 10: offense really seemed to click there. What was what was
Speaker 10: kind of working?
Speaker 12: There? Was it?
Speaker 6: You guys got into the rhythm that that.
Speaker 9: Had no Actually, we do that a lot throughout practice.
Speaker 9: You know, just started, just go a two minute er
Speaker 9: or just go fast, you know, uh, keep our win
Speaker 9: and just go. We we do that sometimes throughout practice,
Speaker 9: So we work on that.
Speaker 5: Mark how much did your your completion night, I said,
Speaker 5: the forty nine yard touchdown? How much did that really
Speaker 5: infuse you guys with the energy?
Speaker 8: Changed the game a little bit for you?
Speaker 9: Guess just cloud it was a touchdown and nothing happened.
Speaker 9: We didn't it didn't call it ain't call back or
Speaker 9: anything like that, cause he made a spectacular run and catch.
Speaker 9: You know, Uh, he did his thing. And I like
Speaker 9: to the step back at the end, you know, right
Speaker 9: before the touchdown. That was amazing, you know school but yeah,
Speaker 9: that look that looked crazy. Nah, his was his was
Speaker 9: a I said his was dope because it's in the NFL.
Speaker 9: I was in I was in high school.
Speaker 13: They go, mark you you say the Chiefs are not
Speaker 13: your kryptonite, but nuh seeing how last season ended. In
Speaker 13: this season, yeah, as the gun, what did it say
Speaker 13: about your team and measuring up against the two time champs?
Speaker 12: Yuh went t uh.
Speaker 9: I believe our offense got a lot of we got
Speaker 9: no additions and we just getting a trusted you know.
Speaker 9: I don't wanna say preseason it is the reason, cause
Speaker 9: it wasn't cause we battle. You know, you could see
Speaker 9: what we put points on the board, and you just
Speaker 9: gotta do what we gotta do it bewoe of those
Speaker 9: games simple.
Speaker 2: Uh, a little one roop coruner in Isaiah, we'll talk
Speaker 2: about how just the fight, if the fighting you that
Speaker 2: shows today kind of gets him optimism in moving forward? Man,
Speaker 2: how how do you describe kind of got farther out
Speaker 2: in the optimism and the outlook of his team moving forward?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I I believe everyone in our our locker room hate losing,
Speaker 9: point blank period. Coaches, s, trainers, uh, equipment, guys, cafeteria
Speaker 9: women and men, and definitely the players, you know, cause
Speaker 9: we out there put it on the line, blood, sweat
Speaker 9: and tears, and for us to lose to those guys
Speaker 9: and the way we lost even though I don't wanna lose,
Speaker 9: but uh, I can't be mad at my guys cause
Speaker 9: he batter no longer.
Speaker 6: It's a long season. So you guys, you're constantly evolving.
Speaker 6: What do you focus on evolving to get to the
Speaker 6: point where you do pasts?
Speaker 9: Clean up penalties, clean up, clean up completions and and
Speaker 9: things like that. You know, when we go scramber drill,
Speaker 9: we wreak on that scrimmer drills, complete those catch those
Speaker 9: We just gotta do what we gotta do to one
Speaker 9: of those games.
Speaker 8: Lamark.
Speaker 7: Uh, how frustrated specificallyg brothers illegal formation penalties and think
Speaker 7: it's generally the one time winning.
Speaker 4: Penalties that you guys got out the team and now
Speaker 4: you guys about foss script.
Speaker 9: I mean, it's very frustrating cause we busting out behind
Speaker 9: out there. You know, we tryna win the game at
Speaker 9: the end of the day, and we it's it's like
Speaker 9: every time we got a big play, it's like a
Speaker 9: flag down. It's like, God, we can't we can't be
Speaker 9: having that, you know, But we gonna watch fam and
Speaker 9: and see who we can clean those things up. Cause
Speaker 9: I believe we got the best fan base in the
Speaker 9: in the NFL, and they wanna see that through what
Speaker 9: you wanna see that from us? You know what the
Speaker 9: guys who got to the no addition David Henry, you know,
Speaker 9: new officer linement and stuff like that, and they just
Speaker 9: wanna see us do what we do.
Speaker 1: Next up is linebacker rokwand Smith wait too?
Speaker 6: Or in the likely touchdown? What are you watching on
Speaker 6: the big screen? Did you think it was a touchdown?
Speaker 14: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Absolutely?
Speaker 14: I thought it was a touchdown and that's what they
Speaker 14: called on the field, and I didn't think it was
Speaker 14: enough evidence to overturn it. But I feel like that'll
Speaker 14: be something that the rests would have to deal with
Speaker 14: whenever that time comes, and that's out of my control.
Speaker 5: Rowan, you know, obviously cool mistakes is John referred too.
Speaker 6: But how'd you kind.
Speaker 5: Of feel and taking the field against one of the
Speaker 5: league's best and touch with Mahomes and now you guys.
Speaker 15: You made out overall?
Speaker 14: Yeah, it felt great heading into the game, but obviously
Speaker 14: there was a lot of mistakes out there, and that's
Speaker 14: not what we pride ourselves on. And I think that
Speaker 14: starts with me communicating each and every detail throughout to
Speaker 14: the guys and making sure we're all on the same page,
Speaker 14: and if we're all on the same page, we're a
Speaker 14: tough defense to move the ball on. But a lot
Speaker 14: of the things that happened was self inflicted. But hats
Speaker 14: off of those guys. They made us pay for it,
Speaker 14: and hey, it's a game of inches.
Speaker 8: Was it just first game stuff stuff that you kind
Speaker 8: of just have to work your way through, or was
Speaker 8: a crowd noise? What do you what was the kind
Speaker 8: of the infatus behind some of the communication issues.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I don't think it's the first game things at all,
Speaker 14: And I think it's just more so each and every
Speaker 14: individual holding themselves to a higher standard. And I think
Speaker 14: that starts with me leading to guys and making sure
Speaker 14: the communication is up to par and then echoing it
Speaker 14: throughout and doing that throughout the game regardless of the circumstances.
Speaker 14: There's no excuses whatsoever. And you know, has off of
Speaker 14: those guys. They won the game, but we'll definitely see
Speaker 14: them again.
Speaker 11: Brokon what do.
Speaker 6: You as a team do you feel? I mean, you
Speaker 6: nearly keep back and type this game of it. As
Speaker 6: a team, what are you taking from from from this game?
Speaker 14: All the great things and then all the negative things?
Speaker 14: Just building off building off of those. You know, you
Speaker 14: have to look ourselves in the mirror, each and every individual.
Speaker 14: There's a lot of players personally out there today that
Speaker 14: I wish I could get back. I didn't feel like
Speaker 14: I played my best game, and I think, you know,
Speaker 14: when I play my best game, I feel like that
Speaker 14: echoes out throughout the defense. So I think it just
Speaker 14: starts with myself personally, and I have to be better
Speaker 14: in order for us to be better as a defense.
Speaker 14: And then when we do that, we'll be great. But
Speaker 14: you know, hats off of those guys, and we're looking
Speaker 14: forward to next week. It'll be a great opportunity to
Speaker 14: bounce back.
Speaker 12: Why saying it starts with you?
Speaker 15: Why is it that you're putting that responsibility of yourself.
Speaker 14: I'm the leader of the defense, and there's countless other
Speaker 14: leaders out there as well.
Speaker 4: But I look.
Speaker 14: Myself in the mirror and I hold myself to the
Speaker 14: highs of high standards. And at the end of the day,
Speaker 14: I get the call in from the DC and I
Speaker 14: echo the call out to the guys, and I have
Speaker 14: to make sure we're all on the same page. So
Speaker 14: that's what it is, and it'll be that way. So
Speaker 14: it is what it is. But you know, just take
Speaker 14: things and you build off of it.
Speaker 10: Okay, would you guys do the second half because the
Speaker 10: first half they're clear in the kind of the middle
Speaker 10: of the field, and the second half, you guys, you
Speaker 10: would deny that make them arial a little bit.
Speaker 14: Yeah, I think it was just uh some adjustments. Hats
Speaker 14: off the zo for that making adjustments at halftime knowing
Speaker 14: where they was hitting us at. And a couple of
Speaker 14: plays like myself personally when three uh ran the option
Speaker 14: right on me. I think number four ran the option
Speaker 14: right on me. So gotta be all over that. Yeah,
Speaker 14: that's what it is. Thought it was a bs horse caller,
Speaker 14: but it is what it is.
Speaker 12: What was your perception that play along the Chiefs sidelines.
Speaker 4: Of oh he f he flopped?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 14: Yeah, he flopped. Uh that's why the referees didn't call it.
Speaker 14: It was a great call by a great noe call
Speaker 14: by the reff But whoever eighty eight is, I don't
Speaker 14: know who he is, but he better watch watch himself.
Speaker 15: He did he did a little slick push.
Speaker 6: Was there somebody on the sideline that pushed you as well?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 14: Whoever number eighty eight is, I have no idea who
Speaker 14: he is, but I'll see him when I see him in.
Speaker 6: Rokann one of the other leaders on the teams, obviously, Lamar,
Speaker 6: what did you feel back.
Speaker 11: His effort tonight?
Speaker 4: Uh, it was a great effort by Lamar.
Speaker 14: Uh Personally, as a defense, we should have never put
Speaker 14: in put him in that position, uh, being being able
Speaker 14: to come back from like that, But it was hats
Speaker 14: off to him some reason. He's a two time MVP.
Speaker 14: But as a defense, we should have never put those
Speaker 14: guys in the position. So it starts with us as
Speaker 14: a defense and eliminating explosive plays, eliminating countless mistakes that
Speaker 14: we had, and then given the offense many opportunities to.
Speaker 4: Do what they do.
Speaker 14: And we'll do that the rest of the way. So
Speaker 14: this is the worst will play off season, so I
Speaker 14: can promise you that.
Speaker 4: All right. Thanks.
Speaker 2: We also heard from tight end Isaiah Likely, who had
Speaker 2: a big game in the loss.
Speaker 6: It looks like when the replays that maybe the foot
Speaker 6: was l What's what's your perspective for whether that was
Speaker 6: a touchdown?
Speaker 2: Unt.
Speaker 15: I mean, at this point, it's just you gotta live
Speaker 15: with the call. I mean, you gotta look on obviously,
Speaker 15: watch the films here. We could diet better to not
Speaker 15: throw ourselves in a situation where you know, to leave
Speaker 15: in the ref's hands to be able to call that
Speaker 15: call and call the game. So you know, I say,
Speaker 15: just watch the films here what we can improve on
Speaker 15: and go into next week.
Speaker 5: See we also, so you go down in the corner,
Speaker 5: you looked pretty.
Speaker 6: Hurt us side.
Speaker 7: What happened?
Speaker 5: And then what was the sequence that led you back
Speaker 5: on the field for that minor play?
Speaker 15: It was you know, it's just a high ball. You know,
Speaker 15: it was just us and nobody kind of kind of
Speaker 15: passed from l I try to go make up make
Speaker 15: a play, got uh pushed by the DV laying it
Speaker 15: kind of hard, and then you know, got up, shook
Speaker 15: a little bit, and then adrenaline and running. Mean, it's
Speaker 15: last player of the game. Would you wanna be out
Speaker 15: the game?
Speaker 1: What do you guys take away from la final drive?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 15: Really, just keep going, I mean, just m major in
Speaker 15: the minor details to be able to execute and be
Speaker 15: able to put that last touching on the board, I mean,
Speaker 15: and not leave it into ours hands, you know, at
Speaker 15: the game as easy as possible. The first th th, three, third, quarters.
Speaker 15: So when we get to those situations, we could just
Speaker 15: go in victory formation D and go and then the
Speaker 15: boss is hard.
Speaker 10: But your long touchdown that you score.
Speaker 7: Can you just break down that play? And and did
Speaker 7: you just see that defender coming right before goal white
Speaker 7: and then your periphery or.
Speaker 9: That you take?
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean, uh when I caught it? Uh, I
Speaker 15: just seen thirty two. Uh really take a bad angle,
Speaker 15: So I try to get to the sideline. Uh za
Speaker 15: you know a little twin made a great block. Uh,
Speaker 15: And I felt like, you know, every time makes a
Speaker 15: good block, I always gotta make, you know, go for six.
Speaker 15: And then I've seen six out my peripheral, so I
Speaker 15: it's you know, that close to go line. He thinks like,
Speaker 15: you know, usually gonna dive or something. So I just
Speaker 15: seeing how good it breaks for it and stop you guys.
Speaker 4: I mean you guys win.
Speaker 6: I mean this is a two time defending Super Bowl
Speaker 6: champions and in their place, you almost went to the
Speaker 6: tail with him. I mean, what what do you take
Speaker 6: away from a competitive game like that against this team?
Speaker 15: I say, this is probably the worst game we gonna
Speaker 15: play all year. So if this is the best that
Speaker 15: they got, I mean good luck in the postseason.
Speaker 7: I said, to that point, we hear brow talk about
Speaker 7: you know, self inflicted runs. But it comes down to
Speaker 7: the end, you guys have a chance to tie it.
Speaker 7: But was the kind of the message you'll look to
Speaker 7: look at the talk and the locker right after?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 15: I say, really, just you know, holding it in on
Speaker 15: the minor details. You know, understand that, like I said,
Speaker 15: this is gonna be the you know, the worst that
Speaker 15: we're gonna look on on television, you know, being week
Speaker 15: one and really just build I mean when you leave
Speaker 15: into the ref's hand, I mean, it's that is their call.
Speaker 15: So at this point it's just you know, major in
Speaker 15: the minor details, do what we can to stay out
Speaker 15: the ref's hands. So, like I said, we can get victory.
Speaker 15: Formation always go home with a smile.
Speaker 8: I say, was there a confusion with the illegal formation calls?
Speaker 8: Like I know, you know they're postal cault on alignment.
Speaker 8: But in the huddle, were you guys talking about that
Speaker 8: adjustments you have to make because of it or did
Speaker 8: did you anticipate that that they were gonna call that tight? Uh?
Speaker 15: I'd have to I I honestly couldn't tell you. I
Speaker 15: mean I guess they were gonna harp on it this
Speaker 15: this game or this season in general. But I mean,
Speaker 15: like tho, those you know, self inflicting wounds obviously gonna
Speaker 15: put you behind schedule, so you know, watching film, getting
Speaker 15: better in that situation, making sure we you know, eliminate
Speaker 15: the penalty so we can stay on schedule and put
Speaker 15: a lot of puns on the board.
Speaker 4: How is it?
Speaker 5: I mean, I know, this is pretty much as close
Speaker 5: as it gets or class catch.
Speaker 7: Can you think of any catch that that closer or
Speaker 7: even a catch that you've seen that that's closer than
Speaker 7: the one?
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's it, Uh not that I know, I mean,
Speaker 15: I just I mean, that's that's what I mean. Man,
Speaker 15: I just gotta I gotta get both feet in. I
Speaker 15: I gotta I harp for myself to you know, catch everything.
Speaker 15: Make sure everybody put us in the best possibility. So
Speaker 15: I'll take, you know, responsibility. I next time I get
Speaker 15: my feet down, Hey.
Speaker 13: Say in real time, what did you think when you
Speaker 13: caught it? And when you saw where you were did
Speaker 13: you think you were in?
Speaker 15: I mean I let it the ref rep plated me.
Speaker 15: I let it the ref when he signal touchdown. I
Speaker 15: mean I thought it was what it was, and then
Speaker 15: we was obviously going to win the game, and then
Speaker 15: it is what it is.
Speaker 4: At this point, he didn't see where you where you landed?
Speaker 15: Nah, I d well, I mean so fast? Uh yeah,
Speaker 15: it's it's so fast. I mean I just you know,
Speaker 15: second nature, try to get my feet in, both feet in,
Speaker 15: and then once the re ref signal touchdown, I just
Speaker 15: knew you know what it was. But this point is
Speaker 15: what it is going to next week, looking the next week.
Speaker 6: How would you scrape that that for pos lamorrow tonight?
Speaker 16: Uh?
Speaker 15: I mean he showed you what type of player is.
Speaker 15: I mean, the two time MVP. Don't go down back
Speaker 15: down to nobody, no matter where we are, no matter
Speaker 15: whose environment, who were going up against. He gonna show
Speaker 15: you who he is every snap, every play, I mean,
Speaker 15: whether it's running or passing. I mean, he shows you
Speaker 15: that he's Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7: And how impress were you buy the stuff he did
Speaker 7: before the Stampa?
Speaker 6: I know we talked that seemed like something he was
Speaker 6: really trying.
Speaker 7: With all those pointed gesture.
Speaker 15: And emotion guys around, Uh, I felt like he was,
Speaker 15: you know, being great. I mean obviously we you know,
Speaker 15: had minor detail, uh details at uh penalties, but I
Speaker 15: mean Lamar's Lamar, I mean se first and fifteen second whatever.
Speaker 15: I mean. He always gonna make something happen. So when
Speaker 15: you have him as your quarterback, it's easy to always
Speaker 15: look positive.
Speaker 4: Alright, thanks, thank you.
Speaker 2: In the locker room, we also talked with several players,
Speaker 2: including left tackle Ronnie Stanley.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 17: We knew that they were gonna make a new emphasis
Speaker 17: on the legal formations, and we were talking to rest
Speaker 17: and OTA's actually and we got pretty good clarification and
Speaker 17: we were doing a good job in OTAs and you know,
Speaker 17: all of a sudden today, you know, the rest whatever
Speaker 17: calls they made third decision, but didn't feel consistent with
Speaker 17: what we were told.
Speaker 1: Yeah, from the other refs earlier on did you say
Speaker 1: you were surprised if it was the first time it
Speaker 1: was called on you?
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, I mean second play of the game, first
Speaker 17: pass play of the game, no warning before that. You know,
Speaker 17: I thought it was a little different. And then the
Speaker 17: way it was going through the game, you know, I
Speaker 17: really feel like they were just trying to make an
Speaker 17: example and chose me to be the one to to
Speaker 17: do that. And you know, as far as I saw,
Speaker 17: they weren't doing it on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 17: And I know that I was lined up, uh, you know,
Speaker 17: in a good position majority of those calls they made.
Speaker 17: But we'll go back watch the film and we'll make
Speaker 17: sure everyone will send it in.
Speaker 7: After Derek got called, you know once and then twice
Speaker 7: did did Was there any conversation or dialogue you had
Speaker 7: with with the officials a bit about it.
Speaker 12: And so forth.
Speaker 17: Yeah, there's plenty of plenty of dialogue. They just kept
Speaker 17: saying you need to move up, and I'm like, how
Speaker 17: much more do I need to move up? You know,
Speaker 17: And it's not my first year playing this thing. I
Speaker 17: know where to line up, and I was lining up
Speaker 17: a lot ahead of where I usually do, and I
Speaker 17: know my helmet was breaking the centers. But so we'll
Speaker 17: see on film, and you know, this is their call
Speaker 17: to make. But like I said, I they were trying
Speaker 17: to make an example out of me.
Speaker 12: Would say, you were lining up consistent with how you've
Speaker 12: lined up every other year of your career.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I would say, I'm line line up no different,
Speaker 17: And you know I would say I would even I
Speaker 17: would even go as far as saying I was lining
Speaker 17: up more in front of what I used to do
Speaker 17: in years past, you know, so because the emphasis, Yeah,
Speaker 17: because of the emphasis. So that was something we knew
Speaker 17: about in training camp and you know, we were working
Speaker 17: on as lineman, you know, and we have rests at
Speaker 17: practice all the time. You know, it's never been an issue.
Speaker 15: You know, so how all is obviously disrupt the rhythm
Speaker 15: of the game, but how much.
Speaker 3: More did it disrupt it?
Speaker 17: And that you guys weren't exactly sure, like how it was.
Speaker 9: Just trying to just figure out the map role.
Speaker 17: I mean, it definitely, you know, hindered us as a offense,
Speaker 17: you know. I mean there's a lot of big plays
Speaker 17: that were made that we had to come back. But
Speaker 17: luckily we overcome a lot of those things. But you know,
Speaker 17: we we we know how we we we see now
Speaker 17: how the rest are gonna you know call it and
Speaker 17: you know, just against us the whole time. So I
Speaker 17: think that's just something we need to overcome, you know,
Speaker 17: but you know, it definitely was a heindrance, but yeah,
Speaker 17: we're gonna fix it.
Speaker 2: Lastly, we heard from running back Dereck Henry, who talked
Speaker 2: about his debut as a raven.
Speaker 9: Derek Gott impactful touchdown in the beginning.
Speaker 7: Uh, how do you feel the rest of the game
Speaker 7: for you?
Speaker 16: Uh, A couple of runners off probably won't back. I
Speaker 16: wanted to do different, but I'm just trying to do
Speaker 16: the best I could to help his team win. And
Speaker 16: you know we came up short. One game goes then
Speaker 16: to final the whole season. We got play more to
Speaker 16: go play, watch the field not fly, get better and
Speaker 16: you know, be scept critical of myself and you know,
Speaker 16: continue to improve as.
Speaker 15: You were watching live and then I guess watching the
Speaker 15: the replay on the big court, what did you kind
Speaker 15: of think of Isaya it's a touchdown play?
Speaker 16: And were you surprised that it got turned to I
Speaker 16: mean I thought it was a touchdown. I thought what
Speaker 16: they called him the field was gonna be a touchdown.
Speaker 16: I got out of turn and you know it was
Speaker 16: just what what what they called and you know we'll
Speaker 16: be we'll get back and get better.
Speaker 12: What kind of momentum did that first touchdown drive do
Speaker 12: you for you personally?
Speaker 16: Oh, I mean it was good to get in there
Speaker 16: and they did a great job blocking, had a hole,
Speaker 16: just had to hit it, get in the end zone
Speaker 16: and we we'll ever get on the board. Uh uh
Speaker 16: he on the board, getting touched down. Uh felt good.
Speaker 16: But you know I was early in the game and
Speaker 16: so just came up with short to day and uh,
Speaker 16: Washington fel like I said, and get better and grow
Speaker 16: from it and hm, you know, come out and be
Speaker 16: better next week.
Speaker 11: I mean this team, you guys competed. I mean, this
Speaker 11: is a two time to than Super Bowl champions in
Speaker 11: their place. Came down to the very end. As a team,
Speaker 11: I mean, what do you take from from the game, Like, yeah, I.
Speaker 16: Mean we uh, you know, we were able to uh
Speaker 16: put ourselves in a position to be able to have
Speaker 16: a chance to to win the game. You know, even
Speaker 16: you know the things were happened in the game as
Speaker 16: far as went outside of the ball, but you know,
Speaker 16: so a lot of things we can learn from and
Speaker 16: a lot of things we can continue to build on.
Speaker 16: And that's uh so what he wanna do as a team,
Speaker 16: learn from the mistakes and built on the positives.
Speaker 5: Martin talks about did the penalties really having this halting effect,
Speaker 5: especially in those.
Speaker 4: Middle two quarters, especially the illegal formation calls? What did
Speaker 4: that influence do you think that had on the offense?
Speaker 16: Well, I mean anytime you have anx self inflicted wounds,
Speaker 16: you know, it's always gonna be tough to try to overcome,
Speaker 16: you know, especially with a team like this who's uh
Speaker 16: very good and very sound and uh capitalize on uther
Speaker 16: on uh hoosing team that's mistakes.
Speaker 4: We just gotta just gotta learn from it the first game.
Speaker 4: Get those michigues out the way and be better the
Speaker 4: next time we out.
Speaker 7: There, they're there still playing out to city. Lamar, what
Speaker 7: was your own you know, he get you kept you
Speaker 7: guys into it, among other things up to the end there.

Speaker 16: To I mean, Lamar's tomorrow is like everybody else seeing.
Speaker 16: You know, he's gonna do him and make plays and
Speaker 16: you know put us a position to win. So yeah,
Speaker 16: Lamar's Lamar's.
Speaker 15: You like, did you look at him?
Speaker 12: What are some things that you want to take on
Speaker 12: this game that you'll be able to field.
Speaker 11: Out who you called with?
Speaker 4: You know, I think selectively as a group.
Speaker 16: You know, we know that, you know, as long as
Speaker 16: we were resilient, you know, no matter what happens, you
Speaker 16: know we can still be in the game.
Speaker 4: You know, we got play makers all around the fields.
Speaker 4: You know it could be back in the game.
Speaker 16: In the drive we saw that with Uh uh was
Speaker 16: they likely you know, making that big old play getting
Speaker 16: us back in the game just just that fast, you know,
Speaker 16: just got to stay locked in, happy, believe for one
Speaker 16: another and let h let the rest take.
Speaker 4: Everyselfagine touchdown catch, but likely how much? What kind of
Speaker 4: effective they have on the energy of the game, you think?
Speaker 16: Oh yeah, I mean that was a big momental swing
Speaker 16: for us. You know, we needed that score and we
Speaker 16: needed to score it quick, and you know he made
Speaker 16: a big play. You know, that's type of players is
Speaker 16: that he has seen maybe the plays and his name's
Speaker 16: called y Are.
Speaker 12: Your first game off? Your your first game playing alongside
Speaker 12: of Lamar to see well he was kind of putting
Speaker 12: on his back taking off run in the spin mows
Speaker 12: all that stuff, Like what what do you take away
Speaker 12: from your first game playing beside?
Speaker 16: I mean, I don't expect nothing less of enough from him.
Speaker 16: You know, he's been doing his whole career. Uh, that's
Speaker 16: the type of player he is. And you know, you
Speaker 16: know we're teammates now, but I've been seeing him when
Speaker 16: I was on the on the other side. So that's
Speaker 16: just just hopped playing Lamar is he's gonna lay online
Speaker 16: every single time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, doing something up.
Speaker 11: Funds to where you guys, you gotta pushing more so.
Speaker 4: To the perimeter. It seemed like you guys are throw
Speaker 4: the swing pass and then take that outside.
Speaker 10: Maybe not punchment for middle as much.
Speaker 4: No, not at all, just what uh Monk saw and
Speaker 4: wanted to call. So like they gave us the best.
Speaker 16: Opportunity to be able to make plays and we get
Speaker 16: the ball down the field and that's what that's what
Speaker 16: we try to do.
