1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today you'll hear from head

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: coach John Harball, tight end Mark Andrews, and running back

3
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: Keith Mitchell. Let's start out with Harps.

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: All right, good seeing everybody appreciates you guys being here.

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 3: Obviously short week, right back at it Cincinnati in front

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 3: of us, very important divisional game. I guess a very

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 3: good team, so we're looking forward to it. But we

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 3: have a lot of work to do and that's what

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 3: we're on to today. So what questions you have, Johnny.

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: We saw that Ronnie and Marlin did not practice today.

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 4: Anything significant, anything up agantry injuries would.

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 3: Either one not long term, not long term, I'd say

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 3: day to day. Hopefully we'll get him to Thursday. There's

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 3: a chance, and we'll see where we're at.

15
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 5: John, recognizing he's tough, we wanted to be out there.

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 5: It looks like Marcus Williams was having a hard time,

17
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 5: you know, wrapping up with left arm, especially. Are you

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 5: concerned about a liability there or just he's going to

19
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 5: fight through and play well.

20
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna keep getting better as he gets

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: more comfortable. You know, he's got some limitation there with

22
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 3: kind of the protection he's got on it right now,

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 3: but as it gets stronger, it's getting stronger, he'll need

24
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: less of that and give them a little more range

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,839
Speaker 3: of motion. So I think he's gonna be just fine

26
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: moving around good. So he's a big part of what

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 3: we're doing.

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 6: You guys, have you know, started fast pretty much every

29
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 6: game this year, you.

30
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: Know, the fullest quarter.

31
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 6: I think it's kind of been with the first Is

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 6: there anything there? It probably doesn't seem like there's any

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 6: one trend or whatever what you're called the dude you

34
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 6: identified anything there in terms of that.

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I think it's a national football it's

36
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: it's tough, it's a long season. And yeah, probably the

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: story is we've started fast really every game. That's pretty unusual.

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 3: If we had finished strong in every game, we'd be undefeated,

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: which is what we'd like to be right now, but

40
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: we're not. So those three games where we didn't finish

41
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: where we needed to, we lost. Uh So that's kind

42
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: of what we're working on right now. Certainly looking at

43
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: the details, you know, like you said, within it this

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: that whatever the detail might be, that's part of the process.

45
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this thing is a journey, you know, it's

46
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: never you never set. I think we like to look

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 3: at and say, Okay, this is what they are, this

48
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: is what they are, and this is what they're gonna

49
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 3: be all year. It's like no, every team is forging

50
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: kind of the season as they go and things happen.

51
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: You get game plan, you don't play things great, You

52
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 3: play things great, plays come up, plays get made, plays

53
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: don't get made. It's the it's to me, it's the

54
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 3: it's the Uh, it's the it's the miracle of the

55
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: National Football League. You know, that's why everybody watches it.

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: It's so exciting. So we just know what we got

57
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: to work on right now to get better, and that's

58
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: what we're working on.

59
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 7: What's what's the biggest challenge to turn around and other things?

60
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 2: Getting ready to pardon them after probably two things.

61
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the one thing is the physical part of it,

62
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 3: right for the guys, I mean that's just a big, big,

63
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: big challenge. But uh, after it once a year, so

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: they're they're up for doing it. They know it's coming.

65
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 3: So our guys are ready to face that challenge and

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: try to be their best Thursday. And then the mental

67
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: part of it, uh, being ready with the game plan

68
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: and putting the game plan together. Because we were right

69
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: on the game plan today right after the game. That's quick.

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: But we felt like we were prepared as a coaching

71
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: staff and UH, and and having a division obviously division

72
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: opponents helpful with that. Probably appreciate question jumping off that,

73
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: But do you do you find that players will like

74
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: to get right back to work after a disappointing day.

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,959
Speaker 3: I think they do when they have a Thursday night game.

76
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: You know a lot of guys come in on a

77
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 3: normal week though they'll come in and lyft on Monday. Uh,

78
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: they'll watch the tape a lot of times even though

79
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: it's their off day. So different guys do it differently.

80
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 6: Is there any long those lines? Is there any different

81
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 6: about a Thursday Night came from from your guys in

82
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 6: the standpoint, like you know, prime time on the lights,

83
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 6: that sort of thing, a little introjuice to their Fursday.

84
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: It's just hits that. No.

85
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: I think there is. I mean I think there is.

86
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: I think they're excited about Thursday Night. Thursday Night's a

87
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 3: it's a it's a primetime game. You know, it's the

88
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: only game on uh, it's a national TV game, you know,

89
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: on Amazon Prime.

90
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: Is that right?

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: Huh, So there they'll be excited to play. It's a

92
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: big deal.

93
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: John.

94
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 8: I know you're asked yesterday that Mitchell you not playing

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 8: as much in the second half. Ste anything you can

96
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 8: add to that, and just when you see how productive

97
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 8: he is, I mean, that's kind of an understandable question

98
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 8: to that he wasn't on the field a.

99
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: Whole lot in a second. It's a very good question.

100
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: I think it's you know, something that's probably you know,

101
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: as you look back on it, part of the process

102
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: of getting a young guy in there, you know, kind

103
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: of working him into the game plan as part of

104
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: the process as we go. You know, I don't think

105
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: we felt probably as an offensive coaching staff, we're going

106
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: to throw the whole game plan on him. And then

107
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 3: those are kind of the plays he got called from

108
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 3: the groupings get called in second half. Looking back on it,

109
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 3: would we wanted him out there more? Yeah, And I

110
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: think that'll factor into this this game plan. The way

111
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 3: he got called those plays weren't the ones that he

112
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: was kind of scheduled for, you know. So uh you

113
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: look at look all ad Mark, you know, I mean

114
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: you got two passes in the game.

115
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 2: Is that what we want absolutely not.

116
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: You know, you want to the ball goes where it

117
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: goes sometimes, but we want the ball to go to Mark.

118
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 3: So I think that's also part of the kind of

119
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 3: the dynamic as the season goes along, trying to work

120
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 3: through those things.

121
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 7: You mentioned yesterday to Shawn kind of getting elusive and

122
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 7: getting out of the pocket. Was was a disappointment when

123
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 7: you had a chance to kind of digest the game.

124
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 7: What'd you kind of see was that because it seemed

125
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 7: like you guys were getting pressure.

126
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 9: Was it over pursuit?

127
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Was it just what happened?

128
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a great question. Almost Sometimes it was basically

129
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 3: we pressed the pocket too too close to him, you know,

130
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: and he was able to get away. We got a

131
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 3: few holding calls trying when he tried to get out

132
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: of the two, but you know, then it's a little

133
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 3: tough to tear off. So there's definitely a you know,

134
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 3: it's a it's a it's a fine line, you know,

135
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: with a quarterback that strong and that good broke a

136
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: tackler too.

137
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: Uh, We've got to do a better job of that.

138
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: We have another one this week coming in who does

139
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 3: the same type of thing, just a different way. But

140
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow is just as good as getting out of

141
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: the pocket and making play. So it's gonna be a

142
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 3: big point of emphasis.

143
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 10: How different do you think the Bengals are gonna be

144
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 10: Thursday compared to the first time you played them? Just

145
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 10: I mean, you mentioned Burrow his mobility, you know, healthier,

146
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 10: But what what do you what do you see from them?

147
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, yeah, they're they're there are ten games

148
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 3: in eleven games in whatever, and they're they're a different team.

149
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 3: I mean, just like just like we are, just like

150
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: every team in the league is. They've got you know,

151
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: he's healthier, other guys aren't. It's a different time, John.

152
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: From a coaching perspective, it's tough not with some of

153
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 4: the late games stuff to kind of question everything and

154
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 4: your guys trying too hard. Is there certain calls that

155
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: we could do to try to change this? Like how

156
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: much do you put on yourself to try to kind

157
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: of figure out the root of some of these late

158
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 4: game issues.

159
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, we look at the football. You know, you all

160
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 3: have time to dig into the psychology. If that's what

161
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 3: you're asking me for the root causes. Maybe there's some

162
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: historical reasons for it. I'm not exactly sure, but we're

163
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: just looking at the football, you know. So we fixed

164
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: the football. That's what we're doing, and our guys are

165
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: good about that. We've got a very honest culture, very

166
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: straightforward culture. You know, we don't gloss anything over. We

167
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: all look at ourselves. We were in a partners we

168
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: look at how we look ats pro football, you know,

169
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: so the players and the coaches are in a partnership

170
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: together to try to play the best we can, you know,

171
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: coach the best we can put the best performers out

172
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 3: there that we can together.

173
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: That's really how we do it. And I think that's

174
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: part of the whole the process of the whole season.

175
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: You know. So you can't panic, you don't.

176
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: You don't get all upset about one game, you know,

177
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: just like you don't get over happy about one game,

178
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 3: and you kind of try to keep an even keel

179
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: and keep moving, you know, straight ahead through the water.

180
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 6: Did you get an explanation on the delay the game call?

181
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 10: That is it?

182
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 4: Some of you guys thought that clock was reset on

183
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: their year Lives offensive drive.

184
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: You know, they explained it. You know that those are

185
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: hard Why they pumped the clock? Why they don't we

186
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 3: thought we were going to get a pump clock later

187
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: when we took the delay a game they had a

188
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 3: guy on the field injured. They didn't pump the clock

189
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: on that one, so, uh, not sure, not sure.

190
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 7: Did you get an explanation of the crack back would

191
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 7: look to be a crackback block?

192
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: Yet?

193
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, we set it in. Hopefully we will. You know,

194
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 3: I saw it on tape.

195
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: I felt like trying to save me, trying to save me.

196
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Yeah, all right.

197
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 8: I felt like the game kind of slowed to a

198
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 8: crawl at times yesterday, just given the number of injuries

199
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 8: and penalties and so forth.

200
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 6: Is it can it be hard for an offense to

201
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: stay in rhythm when that's happening.

202
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: With Well, that's a good question. I don't.

203
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: I just think you have to deal with it. Just

204
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 3: you have to deal with it. And there's a lot

205
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 3: of delays part of football.

206
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: I guess.

207
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: All right, great, thanks, here's tight end Mark Andrews.

208
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,160

00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 10: this time around, carry.

222

224
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 9: both ways this year, us finishing strong and and us not.

225
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 9: So for us, it's we gotta be dominant. We gotta

226
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 9: be dominant all four quarters. And I'm looking forward to

227
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 9: to to be able to take the field to the

228
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 9: guys this Thursday.

229
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: What is it about finishing Mark? I mean, obviously there's

230
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: just the execution of the plays, right, but is there

231
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: a mindset to finishing fourth quarter play?

232
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 9: It's just football, man. So that's why this game is

233
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 9: so beautiful as anything. It happens any given Sunday. The

234
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,000

235
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280

00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 9: on our p's and q's. We gotta do our job

237

Speaker 7: Mark.

254
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 5: Would you talk a little bit about the competitiveness and

255
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 5: just this division white's.

256
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: So tough playing in it.

257
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 9: It's physical, man, it's a it's a physical division. You know,

258
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 9: there's there's no team that's you know, that's easy. It's

259
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 9: a cake walking. Even if a team's way better one

260
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 9: year and and not another year, it's a it's always

261
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 9: gonna be a dogfight. So I've got a lot of

262
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 9: pride in this division and and and uh obviously bride

263
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 9: in the Ravens. So yeah, it stuff.

264
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: It's frustrating as yesterday was. I mean the offense. You've

265
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: scored thirty more than thirty points at past four weeks.

266
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: Do you what do you feel like is coming together

267
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: for this offense?

268
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

269
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 9: I think had times. And you know, there's been a

270
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 9: couple of games we've been really efficient, but you know

271
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 9: there's certain dry as we're just moving the ball, you know,

272
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 9: being efficient and moving the ball, doing our job. And

273
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 9: you know, I think that we've we've grown as an offense.

274
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 9: If you look from first game to to this game,

275
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 9: this last game, we've gotten a lot better. We've kind

276
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 9: of gotten our identity and it's only going to get

277
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 9: better and better.

278
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:16,680
