Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Monday,
Speaker 1: September thirtieth. The Ravens approved it two and two on
Speaker 1: Sunday after taking down the Buffalo Bills thirty five to ten.
Speaker 1: It was a complete victory for the Ravens. The offense
Speaker 1: really relied on running back Derek Candergan on the ground game.
Speaker 1: Henry had one hundred and ninety nine rushing yards at
Speaker 1: a pair of touchdowns, and the Ravens Finch with two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy one total rushing yards in the game.
Speaker 1: The Ravens showed everyone that they are one of the
Speaker 1: very best teams in football by taking down Buffalo, who
Speaker 1: was undefeated coming into this game. Today, we had a
Speaker 1: chance to hear from head coach John Harbball. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say during his weekly press conference with
Speaker 1: the media.
Speaker 2: All Right, good to see everybody, appreciate you being here.
Speaker 2: Let's go, Ohs, Let's go. Can't wait for that game
Speaker 2: tomorrow afternoon at Camden Yards. Got to be honest with
Speaker 2: probably won't be watching it, but be monitoring it very closely,
Speaker 2: so sport those guys. We're excited for him and can't
Speaker 2: wait to see him go get after it in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Excited about our win last night. As you look at it,
Speaker 2: we did many good things and things that we improved on.
Speaker 2: We're building. I think we're grown as a football team.
Speaker 2: We're kind of in that building phase, still trying to
Speaker 2: stack practices and good plays every day and improvement. But
Speaker 2: yet we have so many things that we can get
Speaker 2: better at that we need to get better at. So
Speaker 2: many things that you'd like to have back from the
Speaker 2: game and do better that we'll try our best to
Speaker 2: learn from and we will learn from them, just like
Speaker 2: we have in the past, you know, games before this.
Speaker 2: So that's what we'll work on right now, trying to
Speaker 2: put all this stuff together so we can get our
Speaker 2: guys in here and have a great week of practice
Speaker 2: to get ready for the Bengals.
Speaker 3: What question do you.
Speaker 4: Have, John, You know, Derrick Henry you get had another
Speaker 4: massive game. There was a lot of questions with him
Speaker 4: being three years old and you know the track record
Speaker 4: for running backs. Why do you think he is still
Speaker 4: being so productive at this age when a lot of
Speaker 4: running backs just are.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure it's different for every single person,
Speaker 2: but I mean There's a lot of things about Derek
Speaker 2: that make him unique. Talent is one of them, for sure,
Speaker 2: and work ethic is another one for sure. He's a very,
Speaker 2: very you know, just tough human being, for sure. But
Speaker 2: he really the proof is in the results, and you
Speaker 2: kind of go by what you see. So we're evaluating
Speaker 2: the possibility of bringing him in here. I think we
Speaker 2: just looked at how he's been playing, you know, and
Speaker 2: to see that continue on obviously is great. But we
Speaker 2: did expect him to play this way and we're excited
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 5: It's not a season with two losses, two wins, you're
Speaker 5: talking about Stint even Keeld.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a marathon a season. How do you
Speaker 3: get your players players may be little more.
Speaker 6: Emotional like coaches, how do you get them to buy
Speaker 6: into that sort of philosophy.
Speaker 7: And that stay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the players are pros too, you know,
Speaker 2: and I think at this level, I think the there's
Speaker 2: a real collaboration between coaches and players, especially nowadays.
Speaker 3: Uh and in the NFL.
Speaker 2: You know, these these are these are grown men, you know,
Speaker 2: these are guys that are professionals.
Speaker 3: They they take their careers very seriously.
Speaker 2: It means a lot to them and they understand how
Speaker 2: the season works, and we'll let the players. We do
Speaker 2: wise words and the players talk to the team. We
Speaker 2: have different captains every week. They talk to the guys.
Speaker 2: They say brilliant things, they say things that are spot on,
Speaker 2: you know, and we have that kind of a kind
Speaker 2: of leadership, that kind of a culture where where it's
Speaker 2: kind of grown from within, nurtured from within. Uh, those
Speaker 2: are the guys that set the tone. Uh, that's what
Speaker 2: you want.
Speaker 5: For these obviously, because that you're what two things? What
Speaker 5: what went in the decision to get Patrick to start there?
Speaker 5: And why do you think that works so well with
Speaker 5: with him? I'm sorry with him and left guard and
Speaker 5: Rogers starting a right guard, both the first start right.
Speaker 2: Well, that move made a lot of sense. I think
Speaker 2: we all definitely agreed on it. Not not that the
Speaker 2: other guys couldn't have played in there.
Speaker 3: They could have.
Speaker 2: And I'll say this about like Ben for instance, he's
Speaker 2: been practicing very well, so when Ben gets his chance,
Speaker 2: he's gonna play very well. But Pat Patrick's such an
Speaker 2: experienced guy and he's played all the positions. Although left
Speaker 2: guard I think I read was ten snaps in the past,
Speaker 2: so that was a good stat you guys pulled up.
Speaker 2: He's practiced a lot at all the positions over the years, and.
Speaker 3: He's just a guy.
Speaker 2: Just that's his kind of superpower, you know, that's his
Speaker 2: that's his trait that he can do so many different
Speaker 2: things so well. And you know, as we go forward,
Speaker 2: you know, we'll see how how Andrew's ankle is and
Speaker 2: all that, and but Pat can continue to do it
Speaker 2: and he's only going to get better if he gets
Speaker 2: more reps there. And obviously Roger the guy has been
Speaker 2: coming on. He's a high draft pick, he's a guy
Speaker 2: we have a lot of expectations for and he didn't
Speaker 2: do anything in that game to dampen that down at all.
Speaker 2: So I think he's kind of taken as it comes
Speaker 2: every single week and try to put the best group
Speaker 2: out there you can with the best next guys playing,
Speaker 2: and whoever have everybody ready. Soon need arises that you
Speaker 2: can put a player and that that's ready to help
Speaker 2: you win.
Speaker 8: That whole back to back timeout scenario that heart in
Speaker 8: the second half, Now that you're calling back and looked
Speaker 8: at it, any thoughts on how that went down maybe
Speaker 8: back or was that just something that was a game
Speaker 8: operation thing that was.
Speaker 3: That was not good. I mean, that was one I
Speaker 3: want back, you know.
Speaker 2: It just there's a lot of reason stuff happens in
Speaker 2: a game, and there's a lot of things that happened,
Speaker 2: but now I want that one back that was bad.
Speaker 2: Felt bad about it at the time, Still feel bad
Speaker 2: about it, Gonna feel bad about it next year, and
Speaker 2: ten years from now, I'm gonna hate it still. So
Speaker 2: it's just a bad, bad sequence for us, for me, especially.
Speaker 9: John Wiggans had some tough moments in the game the
Speaker 9: week the week before, but you had him out there
Speaker 9: almost every Wiggins had some tough moments a week before,
Speaker 9: but you had him out there for almost every defensive snap.
Speaker 3: Right away yesterday.
Speaker 9: And what game the fifth that he would handle that
Speaker 9: as well as he did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I me that's growth, you know, just a growth guy,
Speaker 2: growth mindset, and we trust our guys to learn and
Speaker 2: grow and gave him an opportunity to go out there
Speaker 2: and do it again. And he's been practicing really well.
Speaker 2: And you know, I mean, he and I had numerous conversations.
Speaker 2: He and Chris had numerous conversations, just natural part of football,
Speaker 2: you know, and he listens and practiced well last week
Speaker 2: and went out and played well.
Speaker 10: If you look at a lot of the big Henry
Speaker 10: runs or any of your big offensive players over the
Speaker 10: last couple of weeks usually find a tight end to
Speaker 10: full back or a wide receiver blocking in the perimeter
Speaker 10: or making a play down field.
Speaker 4: What about how selfless.
Speaker 10: Kind of some of those guys have been that. You know,
Speaker 10: Mark Andrews hasn't had a catch in two weeks, and
Speaker 10: Flowers didn't have his normal you know numbers yesterday. But
Speaker 10: just how kind of people are buying into that?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's football is a team sport, you know,
Speaker 2: it's the ultimate team sport. And when you've got a
Speaker 2: bunch of players who are team players, team guys, I
Speaker 2: think you have a chance to be a good team.
Speaker 3: And that's what we have. So as we've said before,
Speaker 3: you know, it's.
Speaker 2: You know, if Derek or the running game doesn't quite
Speaker 2: get going from a stat wise, the questions are always
Speaker 2: gonna be what about the running game? The running game
Speaker 2: gets going, and the questions are always going to be
Speaker 2: what about this player? That player is not getting targeted,
Speaker 2: or you're not throwing the ball that much, or the
Speaker 2: passing yards aren't up or whatever.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just it's just it's part and parcel.
Speaker 3: We understand that.
Speaker 2: And the answer is always that, you know, the hole
Speaker 2: is greater than the parts, and the parts make the hole.
Speaker 2: And those guys get it. I mean, they're contributing in
Speaker 2: a big way. Mark Andrews is gonna definitely have big
Speaker 2: games here catching the ball. Isaiah is gonna have big
Speaker 2: games catching the ball. All those guys are, We're gonna have,
Speaker 2: We're gonna have. We're gonna have a big passing game
Speaker 2: coming up here at some point in time soon. It's
Speaker 2: hard to predict what it's gonna be because if the
Speaker 2: games go where they go, and the ball goes where
Speaker 2: it goes.
Speaker 3: And it's just a competitive deal.
Speaker 2: But you know, my point is is that the reason
Speaker 2: we ran the ball so well is because everybody was
Speaker 2: bought into the play that was being run in that
Speaker 2: moment and executed it so well. Mark had some phenomenal
Speaker 2: blocks out there, I mean some dominant blocks.
Speaker 3: So did Isaiah, So did Bait. You know, so did Zay.
Speaker 2: You know, Zay's in their crack blocking, you know, and
Speaker 2: he's you know, him and him and in Thailand are
Speaker 2: crack blocking defensive ends in there. That's that's what makes you,
Speaker 2: you know, gives you a chance to be successful. And
Speaker 2: when those guys are running outs and catching the ball,
Speaker 2: people will be blocking for them as well.
Speaker 7: John, And I know you kind of explained that they're
Speaker 7: but with specifically Mark, because there's a level production that
Speaker 7: everyone kind of expecting them go back to back games
Speaker 7: without a catch. Is that something that you will talk
Speaker 7: to the player to make sure everything's okay or you know,
Speaker 7: how do you.
Speaker 3: Kind of handle that?
Speaker 2: You know, I could probably try to talk to Mark
Speaker 2: to make sure everything's okay, but he would just look
Speaker 2: at me like, what are you talking to me about?
Speaker 2: You know, everything's fine, everything's good. You know, guys are competitive.
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody, everybody wants to be the difference because
Speaker 2: they know they're they're great players. Mark Andrews is a
Speaker 2: great player. All those guys are special in their own way,
Speaker 2: but Mark is a star.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 3: I'm there's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: And the fact that the fact that we were doing
Speaker 2: well on offense as a team and that part hasn't
Speaker 2: been expressing itself in the last two weeks gets me
Speaker 2: kind of excited because that's another weapon that we have
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. So it's just part of the
Speaker 2: versatility of the offense, which is really important.
Speaker 8: Remember last year when you signed Kyle.
Speaker 5: Fannoy and you can said, you know, you.
Speaker 10: Played against and William with the Patriots a lot of time.
Speaker 5: There are a lot of new things to say about
Speaker 5: I'm kind of like the Henry question as a coach
Speaker 5: when you watch him, now, why.
Speaker 4: Do you think he is excelling so.
Speaker 6: Well at the age that he is?
Speaker 2: Well, he'll tell you that he's young. I mean, every
Speaker 2: time you talk to him, he'll tell you, guys, don't
Speaker 2: He'll tell you I'm young.
Speaker 3: I'm young.
Speaker 2: And you know, he's certainly playing young, but he's also
Speaker 2: playing crafty. He's playing like a very smart He's in
Speaker 2: the right place. The thing that I'm impressed with and
Speaker 2: this is not just him, this is the whole defense,
Speaker 2: and I think the coaches and led by Zach have
Speaker 2: done a great job of emphasiz this.
Speaker 3: But he's playing so hard.
Speaker 2: I mean, you see him, you know you're chasing Josh
Speaker 2: Allen out to the defensive left side and forcing him
Speaker 2: to make a decision as quick as possible. All those
Speaker 2: guys doing that him turning and running down the screen
Speaker 2: passes pretty impressive.
Speaker 8: Last time, nond you ahead just great things to say
Speaker 8: about the way that Zach Orr called the game.
Speaker 6: I guess a month in, what have you seen from
Speaker 6: his development.
Speaker 7: In that world?
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, that's a great point. I thought both coordinators
Speaker 2: were really on point, have been on point, but he
Speaker 2: really showed up in this game and defense, it really
Speaker 2: showed up. You know, Zach has been in the coaches,
Speaker 2: I mean not all the coaches together have a great collaboration,
Speaker 2: but I think they put together a great game plan.
Speaker 2: I think Zach really called the game really well. He
Speaker 2: kept him off balance. There was a nice mix of
Speaker 2: coverage of different various kinds of pressures. I mean, there's
Speaker 2: a lot of pressures, but there are various types of pressures.
Speaker 2: You know, there were four man blitzers, there were five
Speaker 2: man type of pressures. There were different coverages and different
Speaker 2: coverage rotations behind the blitzes, and you kind of kind
Speaker 2: of call them at the right time.
Speaker 3: And I don't think you don't want to have.
Speaker 2: An offense have a bead necessarily and where you're going next.
Speaker 2: And he did a really good job of that. And
Speaker 2: I would say the same thing about Todd and the
Speaker 2: offensive coaches. They were moving around different places. It helps
Speaker 2: to have some success, you know, when you can kind
Speaker 2: of get some plays and get some reps and get
Speaker 2: some first downs, you know, then you have a chance
Speaker 2: to call more stuff. So and I thought they did
Speaker 2: a great job of it, both both Todd and Zach.
Speaker 5: Go back to what you're saying about Kyle annoying giving
Speaker 5: the age. Is that something you'll you think you'll have
Speaker 5: to sort of manage as you get deeper into the seasons,
Speaker 5: or to snap founts and workloading that sort of thing.
Speaker 2: I think we'll keep an eye on up for sure,
Speaker 2: you know, and probably as much as anything you look
Speaker 2: at practice, you know, I mean, Kyle's not going to
Speaker 2: be a guy that's gonna need as many reps of
Speaker 2: practice as a.
Speaker 3: Younger guy might.
Speaker 2: Or will, so definitely manage that and then we'll see
Speaker 2: in the game, you know, it's not I mean, I
Speaker 2: think any player, you know, there's kind of an ideal
Speaker 2: number of reps. You know, you get gassed out there,
Speaker 2: so you definitely want to keep your guys as fresh
Speaker 2: as possible.
Speaker 3: Even in game. But yeah, we'll definitely be.
Speaker 6: Looking at that, which conventional thought is running backs are
Speaker 6: usually best on their first contract, right, Justice Hills now
Speaker 6: playing really good football and when it's third contract? Now,
Speaker 6: how have you seen him progress as a player? What
Speaker 6: Justice Hills?
Speaker 3: Oh? Justin third contract?
Speaker 2: But I mean you know it's not I mean he
Speaker 2: got a couple of pretty quick ones.
Speaker 3: I mean, how old is he He's what year is
Speaker 3: he in the league? Six? Six?
Speaker 2: I mean it's not like, okay, right, he's not thirty
Speaker 2: years old, but that's still young.
Speaker 3: Though. If you ask Kyle to be clear, you see
Speaker 3: him like grow.
Speaker 6: I mean it seems like he's playing his best football. Now,
Speaker 6: how is he improved as a player?
Speaker 2: He has improved as a player. I mean you're exactly
Speaker 2: right about that. He's he was a good player coming in.
Speaker 2: He was a kind of a speed kind of a back,
Speaker 2: you know, and you saw him as a third down back.
Speaker 3: But he's just a guy. I mean we said it
Speaker 3: before about him. He kissed.
Speaker 2: Nothing gets this guy down. I mean there's nothing that
Speaker 2: can can break him. He just keeps coming in and
Speaker 2: he's got a smile on his face and he works hard.
Speaker 2: He really smart person, understands the game, understands.
Speaker 3: The entire offense.
Speaker 2: He could probably line him up at every position and
Speaker 2: he could, he'd know what to do for sure, and
Speaker 2: every skill position at least he probably knows the blocking
Speaker 2: schemes too. I just think he's that kind of a guy.
Speaker 2: And then just to see him, like even through special teams,
Speaker 2: here's a guy that if we put him out there
Speaker 2: on special teams right now, and we probably will at
Speaker 2: some point when we need him, he'll play great on
Speaker 2: special teams too. He just does everything he asked him
Speaker 2: to do.
Speaker 3: He does well.
Speaker 11: But well, I been just lights out against the man
Speaker 11: man coverage coming into this game.
Speaker 3: You guys, really we're.
Speaker 11: Able to be pre effective. I guess what does it
Speaker 11: say that your guy's ability to hold up man man.
Speaker 11: I think you had a higher rate than just sort
Speaker 11: of like how often you kind of call it coverage,
Speaker 11: and especially development guys at Wiggins, you know, Kyle moved
Speaker 11: forward of the season.
Speaker 3: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: I've alway felt I really felt like we were going
Speaker 2: to be a really good man cover team going into
Speaker 2: the season, and to see it come to fruition here
Speaker 2: as we go, and especially in this game because they
Speaker 2: had done really well against man and the crossing routes.
Speaker 2: They were really hurting people with the cross routs. Josh
Speaker 2: is so accurate throwing those things in there. Our guys
Speaker 2: were on them, you know. And there was a couple
Speaker 2: of contested catches. I mean everything was contested really except
Speaker 2: the scramble play late. We were contesting everything and we
Speaker 2: were close, you know. And even some of the plays
Speaker 2: they made, some of the back shoulder throws, those are contested,
Speaker 2: just really great plays on their part. You got to
Speaker 2: give them credit for making those plays to Coleman over
Speaker 2: there on the left side. So I thought Brandon was
Speaker 2: really good. I thought Nate really made the things that
Speaker 2: he needed to do better from one week to the next.
Speaker 2: He did them, he fixed them. Marlon was all over
Speaker 2: people out there. Our safeties covered. Well, yeah, it's good
Speaker 2: to feel like you can have confidence in playing man
Speaker 2: coverage related to that from Alta is eligible to come
Speaker 2: back this week, uniticipating I do, I do, he should
Speaker 2: practice this week and then we'll see, you know, where
Speaker 2: he's at physically and roster wise.
Speaker 3: And all these kinds of things.
Speaker 9: What's the teaching point at any on the scramble play
Speaker 9: that Alan completed. I mean, obviously a tremendous athletic player
Speaker 9: that he makes on the sideline.
Speaker 3: But what would you teach coming.
Speaker 5: Out of that one?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know there are that. We had that very
Speaker 2: discussion this morning. And the thing about scrambled plays are
Speaker 2: are we have what we call plaster rules that we
Speaker 2: teach and I think we're great at him. To be
Speaker 2: honest with you, if you look at us over the
Speaker 2: last ten twelve years, it's been something that we've we've
Speaker 2: really kind of gotten good at because we've had to.
Speaker 2: You know, you look back to Ben Roethlisberger. Okay, that's
Speaker 2: where they That's where it started for us. I mean,
Speaker 2: if you didn't if you didn't try to keep you
Speaker 2: couldn't keep Ben in the pocket. You tried to and
Speaker 2: then you better plaster those guys because that's how they
Speaker 2: won games. And we developed our plaster rules then. So
Speaker 2: I think we have a good handle on it. But
Speaker 2: they're not hard fast because no two scrambles are the same.
Speaker 3: I think that.
Speaker 2: I think the Bills were twenty percent of their plays
Speaker 2: were scrambled plays. So that's their most called play, the
Speaker 2: most run play. It's not the most call play, it's
Speaker 2: the most run play. Right, twenty percent. That's one out
Speaker 2: of five plays or plays that that comes up in
Speaker 2: so you have to be on point, and every one
Speaker 2: of them is different because you can't predict what receiver
Speaker 2: is going to do. They have their rules. We know
Speaker 2: what their rules are because we study them on tape
Speaker 2: and break them down, and one of their rules is
Speaker 2: to go deep, you know, so you have to the
Speaker 2: situation is it is the person going deep plastered or
Speaker 2: is he a guy that's going to be taken up
Speaker 2: by the deepest the deepest player. So the rules are
Speaker 2: if you're a deep player, you know, you stay as
Speaker 2: deep as the deepest receiver. If you're a zone player,
Speaker 2: you have somebody in your zone, you turn it in
Speaker 2: demand and you plaster them and then you stick tight
Speaker 2: and have your eyes on your luggage. So that kind
Speaker 2: of fell between the cracks there, I think in terms
Speaker 2: of just the way the play played out. So we'll
Speaker 2: look at it on tape, we'll talk to the guys,
Speaker 2: and I'm confident that we'll be we'll do a good
Speaker 2: job going forward.
Speaker 3: But you know, it's.
Speaker 2: Hard to say for all the all the scrambled plays
Speaker 2: you're going to have over the course of the next season.
Speaker 2: You're going to be perfect on all of them. I
Speaker 2: also think you've got to give them credit. I mean,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is going full speed to his right, you know,
Speaker 2: somehow off his back foot, puts a foot in the ground,
Speaker 2: throws the ball fifty yards across his body downfield. It's
Speaker 2: just a really amazing play by a great player too.
Speaker 2: So you know, we want to be on that player.
Speaker 2: We want to be defending that play for sure. We'll
Speaker 2: coach it. We'll coach it, and our guys will our guy,
Speaker 2: all our guys are thinking about right now after the game.
Speaker 2: I promise you that's the one play they're thinking about.
Speaker 2: But I got to give Josh Allen a lot of
Speaker 2: credit on that play too.
Speaker 9: I would say about Ronnie Stanley from being the anchor at.
Speaker 4: Enough tackle, kind.
Speaker 10: Of helping to lead a younger group with you off
Speaker 10: that's line, and just his play both in the passing
Speaker 10: game and his effectiveness when.
Speaker 4: You're running off that other side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ronnie Stanley deserves so much credit. I mean, he's
Speaker 2: really having a good year and he's got a lot
Speaker 2: of football left in him, and I expect him to
Speaker 2: keep improving. I think he's going to keep on the rise.
Speaker 2: He's really his level of play has just been going
Speaker 2: like this, you know. Uh, and it's fun to see
Speaker 2: both running pass He was a lot of times he
Speaker 2: was singled up out there in pass protection and and
Speaker 2: just did a really good job.
Speaker 3: And like you said, in the.
Speaker 2: Run game, reach blocks, down blocks, had some good cut
Speaker 2: off blocks, screen blocks, had a couple of really good
Speaker 2: screen blocks that sprung some screens.
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was good.
Speaker 11: Obviously, momentum after a win like Sunday Nights is you know,
Speaker 11: pretty high. Going into an ANC York game with you
Speaker 11: guys know each other as well.
Speaker 6: As you do.
Speaker 3: What is the kind of message coming to the start division.
Speaker 2: To player, Well, yeah, it's pretty pretty much that message.
Speaker 2: I mean, the message is this is a division game,
Speaker 2: this is a rivalry game. These are two teams that
Speaker 2: know each other really well. When you when you go
Speaker 2: prepare for these kind of a game and you start,
Speaker 2: you start pretty far down the road, you know, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of shared experiences and we've you know,
Speaker 2: we've gone there. It's a it's a tough environment to
Speaker 2: play in. It's a very different environment. And this they're
Speaker 2: just a very competitive team, you know, and they've got
Speaker 2: a lot of great players, and any think can happen.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think back to Steve Smith catching that
Speaker 2: pass when we're trying to come back and going for
Speaker 2: a touchdown nothing getting called back by an offensive passer affearance,
Speaker 2: which I wanted.
Speaker 3: The official who called is one of the best in
Speaker 3: the league. I mean, I think that he knows who
Speaker 3: he is, but I still have never forgotten the call.
Speaker 3: You know. It's like it's these these crazy, crazy.
Speaker 2: Things that happen in these division games, you know, or
Speaker 2: are pretty pretty incredible, and I think we're just going
Speaker 2: to have to be at our best.
Speaker 3: That's what we'll talk to our guys about. Shoe.
Speaker 10: We saw Peers practice in full Friday and then you
Speaker 10: guys announced he was down break doubtful. Is is that
Speaker 10: something else that popped up going forward that's come along?
Speaker 3: ERM concerned.
Speaker 2: I think it's part. It's just kind of the way
