WEBVTT - Henry & Coordinators: Ravens Press Conferences 11/22/24 0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.120 Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Friday, 0:00:05.200 --> 0:00:07.560 November twenty second. The Ravens are preparing to face off 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:09.920 with the LA Chargers this week, and today we heard 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.320 from the coordinators. So let's kick it off with offensive 0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:13.560 coordinator Tom Muckett. 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.960 Got I think this Chargers defense, you know, leads the 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:23.160 league and hit the amount of light boxes if they've 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.800 played it. I guess what do they do that maybe 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:27.800 could be advantageous for you guys in your running. 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.560 Well, first off, they do a great job, like I said, 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.160 with light boxes. Their interior guys do a great job 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:35.760 of anchoring. You know, you don't see a ton of movement. 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.080 They're outside backers do a great job of setting the 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.360 edge so there's not a lot of space there, and 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.199 the linebackers do an excellent job of fitting off of that. 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.200 You know, when backs are hesitant and they don't press 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.159 the hole, you know, then all of a sudden they 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:53.080 kind of they whatever, however you want the term of, 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.760 you know, play off the block and play back into 0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:56.120 the back. 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:57.480 So we got to do a great job. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:01.320 They're forcing trying to force their hand, you know, and 0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.480 trying to force them to get an extra defender down there. 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.640 I mean, that's like any game plan. 0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.000 They've been They've been really good in the reds and 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.920 what do you see you from their defense in the 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.520 reds And then of course they're just doing a good 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:12.839 job not giving up any points. 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.680 So if it carries over from that, like when you 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:17.840 can play a light box and still stop the run, 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.720 because if you're really we're really good in the red 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:23.319 zone because we're able to run the football, and then 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:26.160 when we're not, we have the equalizer and lamar. I 0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.160 mean that's you know, for us, we're lucky that way, 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.960 and for them it's like, okay, why A, you're good 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.960 in the red zone because you stop people from running 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.319 the ball in it just becomes more and more difficult 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:35.800 to throw it. 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:37.360 So we got to work it out. For us, are 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:37.759 really good. 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.640 When you went back in with the Pittsburgh game, other 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:44.800 than the penalties on the turnovers, did you see any 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.440 other reasons why you guys didn't get in the offensive 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:48.800 flow as much as usual? 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:50.680 Well, they're good. 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.480 They're good on defense, that's part of it. I mean, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.680 when you play good people or well coached, they got 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:59.680 good players. Obviously, turning the ball over is gonna put 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.800 a damn for on that. The penalties that set you 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.200 back to put you, you know, off track. We had 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.600 some other opportunities for some big plays which we didn't 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.760 end up capitalizing on. To the naked eye might not 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.720 have seen it, but either a protection issue here or 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:18.560 just progressing or the rail route to justice that you 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.000 know most of the time we come down with it. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:21.959 We didn't. That's still plays you got to make. 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:24.240 But at the end of the day, we just we 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:28.120 didn't play clean enough on the road, didn't start fast enough, 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.960 and that's what happens. We did give ourselves a chance, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.600 but didn't play didn't play good enough. 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:34.679 I had to kind of follow up on that, and 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.320 like Lamar talked about, and see, you know, needing to 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:42.079 be more consistent on offense for alas before that sort 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:45.000 of thing again, aside from the handles laws and kind 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.920 of playing behind the sticks, just curiously, what would that 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.640 look like to you and understanding it's different in meek, 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.560 but what would that consistency look like to you in terms. 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:58.880 Of it, Well, like most teams, it looks pretty simple. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.720 You're pretty good on first and you're in front of 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.440 the chains and you're so you can dictate run pass. 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.760 You know, when you're having penalties inefficient on first down 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.360 run or pass. We were inefficient throwing it. We weren't 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.720 as bad running it. We were just inefficient throwing it, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.679 you know. And that hasn't been us. I mean, we're 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.040 pretty good, you know, we just uh, it happened a 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.000 little bit in the Cincinnati game. Penalties. You know, some 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.360 inefficiency in what you're doing that set you back. And 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.560 that's gonna happen from time to time. But it's it's 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.520 all of us. It's from coaching to play. We got 0:03:35.520 --> 0:03:37.720 to coach better, got to play better, uh, to be 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.640 as consistent as we're capable of, and we are teth 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:41.080 What have. 0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.720 You made of the ineligible downfield penalties that have seemed 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.720 to pop up a little more frequently the last couple weeks. 0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:47.560 I mean, is it as simple as the ball not 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:48.600 coming out on time? 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.240 Like, what do you make of that? 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:56.240 Well, some of it's RPOs where if we end up 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.160 keeping it and then throwing it later, you're gonna be 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:02.840 called for it, you know, the screen if it gets delayed. 0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:04.600 We gotta stay flatter, We got to dust it. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.400 We had one against the Bengals where they sent it 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:12.119 back and said we had maintained contact and shouldn't have been, 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.600 but we got to do a better job. Usually it 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.440 shows up in the screen game in your RPOs. Some 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.039 of that is the price of doing business. But we 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:22.440 gotta gotta be a little more lateral, little flatter, all right. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:27.280 How you to explain the seemed like, like Len Aguilar, 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:29.400 we're a little confused on that two point play with 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.120 where they were lying up. Can you talk a little 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.080 bit of that play and just the confusion maybe pre snap. 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:35.680 Did you see that confusion or. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:42.640 I just think they were communicating. I didn't see it 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.760 as much as confusion. It looks like that. Obviously we 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.159 didn't execute it at a high level and obviously got 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:50.839 to call it better. That goes along with every call 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:52.480 that I make in the game. We got to execute better, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:56.440 gotta call it better. That's we've got to plan it better. Disappointing, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:58.880 you know, I'm just like the two point play we 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.840 got against the Bengals was not disappointing. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.719 I mean it was, you know it just when. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.760 It looks like that, I thought Lamar did a great 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.560 job of trying to at least make a play. I mean, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.839 it's just just disappointing at a critical point of that. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.640 What you're paid to do is execute at high level, 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.080 starting with me and then our players. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.520 Todd, this is you know, when fancy this game, they 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.680 see number one offense versus number one defense, Just what 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.400 would you more describe this game as rather than just 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.800 the number one first? Number one is looking at it? 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.640 Well, every team's different, you know, and I say this 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:33.040 every week. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.480 You can't carry over points and you can't carry over 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.000 yards like an execution, Like you know, what's that got 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:40.960 to do with this week? They're really good. We're really good. 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:41.400 You know. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.800 That's why we're where we're at. You know, so we 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.359 got to execute at a better clip. You know, we 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.000 kind of saved ourselves at Cincinnati, you know, we really did. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.360 We really weren't playing very good. We got a turnover, 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.359 and we're certainly cable better. A lot of self inflicted 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.120 starting with coaching. How do we get our guys really 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:05.400 dialed in? Okay, that's every team talk around the league. 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.440 It's how do they get their guys really dialed in 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:10.800 to what we're looking for to get them to let 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.360 their talent shine. And we're certainly capable that we're not 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.120 where we're at this year without having done that. But 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:21.240 to me, that's the biggest thing is who's going to execute, 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:23.680 you know, play in and play out and have it 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.320 looked the way you want wanted to look because they're 0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:27.880 trying to get us behind the chains and we're trying 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:28.560 to stay on track. 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.040 That's really the nature of the game. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.920 Next up, as defensive coordinator, Zach Or. 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:40.120 Last week you. 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:44.919 Talked about feeling crushed after a win because of defensive performance. 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:48.120 It's almost the inverse here where the defense appear to 0:06:48.160 --> 0:06:52.719 be strong, didn't allow a touchdown for the final score, 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:54.680 wasn't what you wanted it to be. Just as full 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.359 as your reaction after such a turn of. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.279 Events, Man, it was honestly with the saying Phil, just 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.960 because I'll honestly take a win over anything else, like 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.760 obviously selfishly, and what I'm responsible for is the defense. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:09.520 And you know we have to play well, and we 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:10.760 know we have to play well to get to where 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:11.240 we want to go. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.520 But I want to win the game. Ultimately. If we 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.600 win the game, you know, that's all that matters. 0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.920 You know, the numbers, they matter in a sense, I'm 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.120 not gonna act like they don't, but The most important 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.880 is a w now from our standpoint, from defensive standpoint, 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.320 did see improvement, did see things that we wanted to 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:28.880 see out there that we talked about during the week. 0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.640 So I'm proud of the guys in that sense. But 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.120 it wasn't good enough to win. We talked about it. 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.720 We like, you know, we have to help put our 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.400 offense in better positions to win the game. And obviously 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.880 we did some good things, but for this particular game, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.520 it wasn't good enough. So you know, we just keep 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.160 on coaching, keep on looking at things we got to 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:49.640 get better at and correct and got to keep on improving. 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:50.280 Coach. 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.360 After watching JAK and Gus here for so many years 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.080 and then you see the season that JK is having 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:56.720 now in particular, do you know anything different about what's 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:58.120 anything they're doing out there right now? 0:07:58.400 --> 0:07:58.760 Nah? Man. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.520 I mean both of those guys they real talented. JK 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.440 and Gus got a chance to know those guys really well, 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.000 watch them grow up here in Baltimore, and anything that 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.800 they're doing right now is no surprise at all. I 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:12.760 mean JK he's been a top back, Gus has been 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:15.040 a top back. They've helped us win many games here, 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:17.440 so we knew once they signed there that they were 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:19.160 gonna help those guys out. And what we're seeing on 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.840 film are two explosive physical backs and I'm happy that 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.720 those guys are finally healthy. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:29.400 Hearts mentioned the other day, you know, Kyle and Darius 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.640 kind of being the plan going forward back there. 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.880 What do you like from. 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:38.679 What you saw, you know, particularly from more Darius last week? 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:39.520 What do you like about that? 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:41.560 YEA, man, I like the communication. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.120 I like I like you know him, him and KM 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:48.000 taking charge back there, leading, directing, making quick calls, getting 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.640 everybody on the same page. And then the competitiveness man, 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.840 the effort to the football, the toughness tackling, and I mean, 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.840 AD's what five seven five eight, but he throws his 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:58.520 stuff in there, and that's what you want, that's what 0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.240 you appreciate. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.080 And he played like a raven, so I thought. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.760 I thought his first start was real good and got 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:06.400 some stuff he could clean up, and I'm looking forward 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:07.719 to see what he's gonna do Monday night. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.839 H bros. The practice all week and you know his 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.880 goo a building. You guys have had to that's the case. 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:19.520 You talk about the challenges not having it and how 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:20.479 you guys feel. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.280 Like definitely, definitely it'll be It would be challenge if 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.240 Rokwan can't go, like said, you know, we're holding out, 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.240 we're holding out hope and everything like that. But I 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:32.040 think he'll just be by committee. You know, you know, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:35.960 not one person is gonna place replace Rokwan. Every down linebacker, 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.160 top linebacker in this league, all pro h for a reason, 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.040 so not one guy is gonna replace him. But we 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:44.280 like our guys that we have in the room, they're 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.400 here for a reason, and somebody gotta step up. You know, 0:09:46.440 --> 0:09:47.720 they got to step up, and we got to step 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.319 up collectively as a as a defense, and that linebacker 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.160 room got to step up collectively as a group. 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.319 Yeah, obviously, what do you see from Elik? 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.240 You know in that situation, you know, being thrown at 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.360 God thrown it. If I know, he played something that 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:01.040 was a good situation. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:02.960 Yeah, it was a different situation than Malik's a PROB man, 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:04.520 he's been around, and we tell these guys, man, you 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.800 won play away man that going in there you never know, 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:07.800 so you got to stay ready. 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:09.880 And Malik he was ready. 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.200 I thought he went in there and did a good job, 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.160 especially after the first series he settled down, and that's 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.440 what we expect from him. He's in that room. He 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.160 knows what to do, he knows how to play. He's 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.439 played a lot of ball for so you know, I 0:10:20.679 --> 0:10:22.480 was pleased with what he did. And that's just showing 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.520 the young guys that you never know when your number 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:26.800 is gonna be called, so you better be ready because 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:27.800 it can happen at any time. 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.760 Obviously, Kyle Hamilton, we've seen him move around a lot, 0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.640 We've seen him play deep safety in the past, but 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.240 this past Sunday was the most we've seen him back 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.400 there this year. Understanding you've had a need to clean 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:40.080 up the back end of the defense. Is there still 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.760 a balance also with wanting to still have opportunities for 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.840 him to play closer to the line of scrimpers so 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:47.960 you'll almost like get you know, Rob Peter to pay 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:50.120 Paul scenario that you at least seem to be mindful 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:50.319 of it. 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.520 Yeah, and that's definitely something I mean, you always look 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.000 at your best players and try to figure out how 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.760 do you get him shots? And for defensive players, it's 0:10:57.800 --> 0:10:59.960 like how do you get them close? For college in particular, 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.960 how you're getting close to line scrimmage, how you how 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.280 can you send him on the blitz and how can 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:06.559 you just utilize his whole skill set? So it's definitely 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.720 trying to find balance in that. But you know the 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.000 good thing about Kyle Halilton he a great player, So 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.640 wherever you put him, he can make it happen and 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.160 be great there. And I thought he played a great 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.240 game last Sunday. 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.240 Zamy know, Zach, would you do you anticipate him calling 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.079 being the green doc guy if if he has. 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:24.600 To be, Yeah, if he has to be, if he 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:26.800 has to be, like we did this last game when 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.679 when Rowe was out, I fully expect Kyle Hamilton to 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:29.920 do that. 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:30.920 He's great at it. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.760 Uh, we got reps at it throughout training camp and 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.160 really throughout the season, so he'll be ready. 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:36.640 Zack. 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:39.280 Can you anticipate if if ro Punk can't go and 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.520 Simpson more slides to the micro position and fills in 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.040 for ro punt and you've had the league maybe on 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:47.800 the opposing side, or just what kind of goes into 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.080 making those determinations. 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.480 Honestly, it really just depends on what what the charges 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.400 give us, you know what I mean? So, like I said, 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.520 it's gonna be Uh, if ro can't go, it'll be 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.320 it'll be linedbacker by committee, depending on what we want 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.959 to run and and what they want to run as well, 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.080 So it's a mixture of both. So you'll see, you know, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.280 ro kwon k go. You'll see a mixture of guys 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:06.600 in there. 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.960 Did you feel like Travis why I'd earned more snaps 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:10.319 with the way and he played. 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:10.440 In this VERU? 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:11.679 Oh yeah, definitely definitely. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.520 When you can make plays on the football and compete 0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.160 at that type of level, you definitely earned your ways 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.160 for some more snaps. And I'm real pleased with Trey 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.520 how he's came in, how he's worked so hard to 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.360 learn to play book, and he's been vocal in the meetings, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:25.200 which I appreciate. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:26.559 So he's a pro pro. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.520 I see why everybody we talk to about him likes 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.880 him and say that you guys will you guys would 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.000 like him in y'all building. So I'm pleased and I'm 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:35.880 eager to see, you know where he's gonna take this. 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:38.120 Brandon Stevens. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:42.760 So Brandon Stevens is still you know, part of the 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.280 defense and plays a lot of snaps, but been balancing 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.880 with him and Tradavious maybe on that outside spot and 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:52.080 you just maybe he could be more near the box 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.560 or playing in the slots because his versatility has been 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.520 you know, from safety, playing outside corner, just with everything 0:12:59.559 --> 0:12:59.880 that he can. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:00.480 Yeah. 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.760 Yeah, I think now Adam tra Davis that as tar 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.080 room to ast our secondary depth, and that allows us 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.720 to do more things. I think you've seen a couple 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:09.920 of times throughout the game that we had both of 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.640 those guys in there at the same time. It allows 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:13.960 us to do a lot because those guys, they can 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:14.880 do a lot of different things. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.320 And specifically be Steve, he's. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.400 Been at corner, but he can move all around. We 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.680 haven't had to, but you know, if we have to, 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.000 he's gonna be perfect. 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:23.160 Fine. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.959 He could blitz, he could play zone coverage, and then 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:26.120 he can still play man. 0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.439 So, you know, the more guys who can go out 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:29.440 there and make plays for us in. 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.320 The back end, I'm loving it because we'll put you 0:13:32.360 --> 0:13:35.079 out there. 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.440 With as often as they run play action and just 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.880 as often as they have dropped like the pass. Especially 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.240 since Justin Herbert has gotten more healthy. What kind of 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:45.480 stresses have put on you guys, especially in the spine 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.120 of that defense. 0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:50.160 Yeah, definitely, man, they're rolling right now. The offense, Herbert's 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:51.960 playing a high level. You could definitely see from early 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.360 on in the season to now that he's feeling better, 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.400 he's feeling healthy, he's feeling more comfortable in the system. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:13:59.040 So it's definitely a challenge. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:02.000 With the run game, then you got to play action 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:03.920 and then they just got to drop back. I was 0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.120 I was laughing. I was like breaking them down. I said, man, 0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.959 they run everything over there in LA. So it's definitely 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:10.760 a challenge. We have to be on our p's and q's. 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:13.320 But I really honestly feel this way, like if we 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:15.400 do our job and we read our keys and we 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.760 play fundamentally sound, that will be okay. 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:21.560 You look at this version of Giro's offense, how much 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:24.080 is familiar and how much is maybe different with Herbert 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:25.760 in place of Lamar a quarterback. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:28.800 So it's real, it's real familiar. It's real familiar. A 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.560 lot of different things. Now you could tell that he's 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.920 added a couple of wrinkles here and there, but for 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.000 the most part, the offense real familiar to what we've 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:37.960 seen since g Ro's been here. 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.200 Next is special teams coordinator Chris. 0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:48.280 Horby, good to see everyone today. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:49.600 I hope you guys are all doing well. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.840 What a good challenge for us this week to go out, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.800 go out to La Monday night football and just get 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.560 ready to try to go play our best football. You know, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.400 it's something that we've been focusing on since we really 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.280 started the season. We have our moments, it's been up 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.000 and down, but I do believe our guys are going 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.000 out there, They're they're competing at a high level, and 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.360 they're doing everything we asked of them, although not perfect 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.560 all the time. Those are the things that we're going 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.320 to continue to chase questions. 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:21.640 Chris nick Moore was talking on the podcast this weekend 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.720 talk about how Senousie came is just embracing being the 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.320 special teams guy when there's been a history of them 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.360 throughout the course of this organization. Just what have you 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:35.240 seen from Sanousie in year one and take off the role? 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.600 You know, I just think so far after after eleven 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.960 weeks of football, the preseason, of training camp, just just 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.200 seeing him come in the way he approached the game, 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.240 he's since he got here, he's been all in, he's 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.440 been fully invested. And then when he got out on 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.720 the field, the physicality, the effort that he plays with, 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:56.800 and then his attention to details. I think for a 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:01.000 young guy, what he's done as far as you know, 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.800 getting guys, rallying guys, he's kind of like he's kind 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.240 of like the energizer buddy for our group. And and 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.000 he's just a rookie, you know, and our guys are 0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:11.400 pleased with him. I've been very pleased with him. And 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:12.960 he's out there. I mean, he's doing a heck of 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:13.680 a job for us. 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.080 Chris so justin the other day he's seen probably not 0:16:17.200 --> 0:16:20.680 as irritated, you know, for help as as he just 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:24.200 you know, when he has a day like Pittsburgh, what 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.680 you say anything or what's the conversation with what's been 0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.600 play kind of throughout all these helps of bats. 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.240 I think throughout the whole I think throughout the whole process. Uh, 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.200 you know, and I've said this before, I really game day, 0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:41.000 I really don't. I don't spend much time talking to Justin, 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.360 But did you know I did after the Pittsburgh game. 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.000 I go, I went up to him, and you know, 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:46.600 and I just talked and you know, just told her, 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.880 hey man, you have to just find a way to 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.640 continue to be you and being great at the things 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.280 that you're great at, and and kicking the ball is 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.160 what he's really great at, you know. And uh, and 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.120 it hasn't been going his way as much as we 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:03.640 like this this year. But you know, we got I 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.800
