Good practice, Nice day, guys. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:26.759 We're into it, very focused on the upcoming challenge, which 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:30.160 is a rivalry game against the Bengals, with a lot 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:31.880 of stake early in the season, like they all are 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.960 when you play in this division, and we know what 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.440 kind of game to expect. It's always that way, and 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.839 we're looking forward to the challenge. What question do you have? 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.240 God, you know Joe Burrow mister last season them with Andrey, 0:00:43.520 --> 0:00:45.640 he's back four games with you kind of see from 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:47.360 having your thrown Yeah. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.199 Really, we've seen the same thing that we've always seen 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.199 from him. He's playing very well, plays the game in 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.760 a very unique way, very very precise way in terms 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.320 of his reads, his accuracy, timing, he's strong in the pocket, 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.920 all those things that he's leading, leading that team, leading 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:06.080 that offense like he always does on a He's completing. 0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:07.000 Se percent pass this year. 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:08.360 Jamar Chase t Higgins. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:09.880 What kind of magic prums. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:10.520 They create, no question. 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.400 I mean they've got really great skill, they always have. 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.240 They have a great a great scheme. Uh, They've got 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:17.720 great receivers and it doesn't even stop with those two guys. 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.800 Those two guys obviously are you know, top shelf type 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.040 wide receivers, but I think a great depth in the 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.840 receiving corps. Tight ends are really good receivers. They brought 0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:28.440 in Micasiki, They've They've got a good group of tight ends. 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.080 They all do different things really well. So it's just 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.800 a very and the running backs are playing really well. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.600 I mean both running backs are playing. Moss and Brown 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.840 are both playing excellent, running hard, very productive when they 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.360 get the ball. So it's a well rounded offense. 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.000 The coach seeing a divisional team, you know most of 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:46.959 the players very well. 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:48.840 How do you feel to have Genos Stole and someone 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.640 have made a big impact with the Ravens now on 0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:51.440 the other side. 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.160 Yeah, I don't feel great about it. 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.960 You know, I like him when he was on our side, 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:58.600 but he's done a great job. There's nothing but respect 0:01:58.600 --> 0:01:59.960 for Gino. He's playing very well. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:00.480 All for him. 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.360 You can see that he's doing a great job of 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.760 communicating back there as well as how he's just playing 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.880 play to play making plays. So happy for him, but 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.040 you know, we love him, but he's the enemy this week. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:14.600 Coach back out today obviously kind of went down at 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:16.119 devising fashion during training camp. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:17.519 How good was it to see him back and also 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:18.920 what you need characteristics. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:19.560 Does he brings this next year? 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:20.839 Well, he's a great leader. 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.320 I mean, Arthur is one of those guys that you know, 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.320 you just feel his energy even when he's not playing 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.240 on the sideline, he was into it. I mean, he 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.640 was flying around, he knew all the calls, he was 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.360 coaching guys up, and he he was looking forward to 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.440 coming back. And to see him back. It's a little 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.560 bit of a process. You know, you've been on, you've 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:39.880 been down for four or five weeks. He's gonna have 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:41.560 to kind of ramp his way back in. We'll see 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.119 day to day here how he does with that. But 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.359 but it's great to have out there. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.720 Coach week five and almost harpers participation in practice. That's 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.800 gonna be pretty good at its short of being healthy, yea. 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.520 All go all glory to God. You know, we we 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.840 understand and how how valuable that is you know, and 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.400 how rare that is, and uh, you know, we just 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:07.280 got to I just think the guys are working really 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.480 hard to you know, they just the guys that work 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.919 super hard. They practice hard, they work hard in the 0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:14.720 weight room. I think the wait staff, the training staff 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:17.000 has all done a great job with that. But you 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.320 know what day to day process, try to try to 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:22.680 do the best we can today and and be ready 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:23.160 for tomorrow. 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.880 Let's talk with Todd Hook. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:27.160 Is it spreading this offense? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.800 There was a question where Patrick burn Hard's role might 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.480 even want and then the last two weeks it's just 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:36.040 been like a pattering ram out there. Uh when you've 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.839 watched him in this year, what stood. 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:39.240 Out about him? 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.160 Well, yeah, Pat, Uh, he kind of understands his role. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.960 You mentioned not maybe knowing what the role was going 0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.360 to be, but it was probably more about whether that 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.240 role was going to be there because you knew what 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:51.680 his role was going to be if he was here, right, 0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.040 And that's the one that you see doing it at 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:56.720 a very high level. Last two weeks especially have been 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.760 ramped up I think for Pat, and he just creates 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:01.880 another dimension out there that defenses have to deal with. 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.560 Where you were asked about him after Sunday night's game, 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.720 or where have you seen Travis Jones sort of take 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:10.800 the next stride? I mean we've always seen it in 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.360 practice and the flashes of training camp, and now he's 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:15.960 playing a lot more snams. But what it stood out 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:16.280 to you. 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.320 Did, Well, it really is kind of what you just said. 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.440 He is Travis has been doing it in practice. You know, 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.240 we've seen it in practice. We've talked about it in 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.719 this group right here about how well he's been practicing 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.839 and when he played in games last year. It might 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.159 might be the fact that he's a little more mature 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.479 in terms of his physical body but technique wise, but 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.400 it might be just af facts get more reps, you know, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.400 and he's having a chance to showcase his skills even 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.120 that much more so. He's he's he's becoming a dominant 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.279 defensive tackle, no doubt. 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:45.000 John. 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:49.039 Obviously the Ponte Adams news comes out, you guys are 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.839 inevitably linked. I just have to ask the obligatory question, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:53.720 but how could you feel about this offense, this fib 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.160 receiving core for all that time. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.120 Well, you know how we feel about our guys, and 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:01.840 really can't comment on anybody else's play. So we talked 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:06.080 about Devontae Ams a couple weeks ago, and I didn't 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:07.880 want to talk to him anymore after about him anymore 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:09.640 after the game. We've seen enough of him at that point. 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.920 But we do. We love our guys, John, So I'm 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:14.640 all let out here. 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.680 I know the expectation was never to keep I know 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.039 Keith Mitchell was eligible this week with the expectation was 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.000 never to happen this early. But do you have a 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.679 better sense of how he's coming along and how long 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.479 it's going to take him gaing back? 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:27.960 Right? 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:31.000 It's impossible to put a timetable on exactly right now. 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.200 I think I would say this, he is right on schedule. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.120 He was. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.600 He was on the schedule was to be back, you know, 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:40.760 this season. Exactly when that would be. We're probably closer 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.280 to understanding that now, just because it's you know, we're 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.040 closer toward towards the end of that. But you couldn't 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.599 really pin it down yet. He's not close enough yet 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.680 to really talk about it. But but he's doing really well. 0:05:55.880 --> 0:06:01.880 We also heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson's provision game. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.000 Uh, how much does that familiarity kind of help you 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:06.719 in as far as your preparation. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.640 This week, uh s M. 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.240 Not just prepare like any other game, you know, Uh 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.840 to tryna everything have everything right, you know, uh from 0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.920 practice and film out on the practice field. It just 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.640 take take everything I uh I learned from the practice 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.440 fild what I see taking into the game. 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:27.000 Is it man in any any more different? 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.160 Poll? 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.960 When there is that familiarity from now another. You know, 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.680 obviously they see you twice a year, so they're they're 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:34.000 used to used to tell you right. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:34.799 Now, Uh somewhat. 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.320 But you know, each and ever year team gonna try 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.200 to get better and try to change up on what 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:40.280 they did the previous year. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.279 Or with the success you guys are having on the grounds, 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:44.920 you know, putting up all these charts on the ground, 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.320 do you think their defenses will start playing you any 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:48.719 differently to try to sell. 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.440 Out to stop the run? 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.719 I believe so. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.800 But then they gotta get prepared for those guys who 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.800 running those routes. Uh, our receivers in our tight ends, 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.720 sometimes our backs. 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:04.440 Tomorrow. Yeah, we know how close you are to mark In. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.039 He's embraced blocking and he's been an important part of 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.360 what you've done on a couple of weeks, but him 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.600 going without a catch two straight weeks, is that something 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.000 you would dress with him? Do you feel the need 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.840 to address with him to make sure he stays up 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.040 and is in concerned brother. 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:19.760 Role on their offense? 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.240 Uh, I believe his role is he he's doing He's 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.040 doing his role, you know.

So it's like it 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.720 is what it is, we trying to win, We trying 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:06.000 to win? 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:09.719 Or are you seeing a greater frequency of fans or 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:13.240 any individuals commenting and messaging you at over the years or. 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.600 I believe it it it's become a thing like ever 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.720 since I believe that the betting just started. Uh, A 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:23.480 lot of bets have started, like fandor stuff like that. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.960 I believe that's when that's just started happening. But I 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:27.839 don't care. I just don't like when my teammates get 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:30.440 hit with oh you you missed it by two yards, 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:31.280 Like bro, we don't give 'em. 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:35.439 We don't care about your two yards. But like, yeah, 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:36.439 y you. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.600 You guys have had a lot of really good rushing 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.560 attacks here over the years. Obviously the addition Derek has 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.760 changed things. But is there anything else you can point 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:46.959 to about what's different with this rushing attack and White's 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:48.000 written swell. 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.000 Uh, just a a different unit. You know, we got 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.920 different guys that added to the office line. Obviously, and 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:58.000 then Derek in the backfield. Uh, it's just guys. Gods 0:09:58.040 --> 0:09:58.480 are different. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:09:58.680 You know. 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.720 Years in the past we had a great rushing attack 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.000 as well, but it's just different guys doing it this time. 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.360 Does it feel like this year is you know, rushing attack. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.840 It's the hardest one to stop that you've had since. 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.400 Been the sport. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.320 I wouldn't say that, because just two weeks ago it was, oh, 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:12.839 they need to run the ball more and where's the 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.520 run game? So and then now you know, we just 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:16.800 want two games with uh our office line doing a 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:18.480 great job and our running backs doing a great job. 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.160 Nine's like, this is the best running rushing attack. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:22.440 They are the Raves ever had. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.920 So it's like it's just pick your poison with our offense. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.079 That's what I believe, not just a run game, passing 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:28.600 game too, more playing. 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.120 Off of that a little bit. I mean, this is 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.000 the offense where you can do RPOs. You could be 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.000 staying in the pocket all game, you can line up 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:38.480 under center. Now, how much do you think that versatility 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:43.000 gives you that an added advantage in what defenses can't 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:44.120 really protect what you're gonna do. 0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.040 Uh Man, just playing chess and not checkers out there 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.880 on that field. And that's basically what it is with 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:51.520 our offense. Cause any given game, you know, depending on 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.760 what the defense giving us. Okay, they stopping the run, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:55.680 so now we just aired out. You know, they stopping 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.559 the pass and go on cover two, cover four quarters 0:10:57.559 --> 0:10:59.480 and stuff like that. We running the ball, so it's 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.559 like it's it's hard to defend us. That's what I believe. 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.319 You know, we've talked about how you've been getting the 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.400 keys to the offense. How much have you I mean, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.880 we see you talking and we're not hearing exactly what 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:15.440 you're saying, But how much are you changing things up? 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.920 Is it what you say it's frequent or you know 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.280 not its frequents. Maybe people accept that. How much How 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:21.440 often do you think you're doing things? 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:24.440 It depends on what the defense given me. You know, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:26.880 I might check out or something. I might just change 0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:30.280 the protection one way put it here, you know, it depends. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.800 It's really on the defense. I'm going off the defense, Lamar. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.200 You talked about Chelseae's explosiveness earlier and obviously the physicality 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.680 of Derek as a runner. Just those different skill sets. 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:41.280 How does that help you as a quarterback and what 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:42.480 kind of luxury is it for you to. 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:43.880 Have that man? 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.280 Just put the put the ball in those guys hand 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.920 and let those guys work, you know, and then when 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:50.840 I have to throw the ball, I work, you know, 0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.960 and those guys help out with blocking as well, you know, 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.280 not just running the ball. And Justice just had to 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 touch down catch. Uh, Derek Hearing just had to touch 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.720 down catch. So you're helping the past game as well. 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:01.840 So they just doing it all right. 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.960 Now, are you? 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.520 Uh, you're pretty even keeled throughout the year, you know, 0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.000 without getting too high or too low. And after reins 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.840 for losses, you know, two weeks ago, it's a different conversation. 0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:12.480 Now you win two games and it's I you know, 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:12.760 there's a. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:13.280 Lot of excitement. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:15.720 How do you you know, keep yourself with the team 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.720 as a leader from you you know, kind of buying 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.760 into either way. Uh, all the conversation you know, around this. 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.840 Team or pretty much cause we seen what it was 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.920 the first two games, you know how it was just 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.920 like what are the Ravens doing? You know, the Ravens 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:30.520 are the worst team in the NFL. We were seeing 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:32.439 all type of crap. And then we just win these 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:34.320 games and it's like, oh, they did a team to beat. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:38.880 It's like, bro, we just played football whenever we have to, Thursday, Monday, Sunday, 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:40.760 it don't really matter. We just go out there or 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.520 the m the win, the mentality. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.800 Next up as defensive lineman Travis Jones, who's really come 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.880 on strong this year. He talked about the physical style 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:54.480 of play that he's bringing, any impact that he's making 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:55.280 on this defense. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:04.760 Michael on Sunday, Just how did your role change, uh, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.440 either in increased snaps or just positionally what kind of 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.200 allowed you to have a what what occurred on Sunday? 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.880 Hold On? Uh, Yeah, missing missing Mike p for that 0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:16.760 s UH game last week was a big thing. But 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.400 I just felt like I just had to step up, 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.000 play some extra snaps and just go out there and dominant. 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:22.680 Have you ever heard the. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.319 Quarterback as hard as you did Josh All on that side? 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:25.760 Nah? 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.480 I didn't.
