WEBVTT - John Harbaugh: Press Conference (11/13)

0:00:02.880 --> 0:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today you'll hear from head

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>coach John Harball, tight end Mark Andrews, and running back

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Keith Mitchell. Let's start out with Harps.

0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, good seeing everybody appreciates you guys being here.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 3>Obviously short week, right back at it Cincinnati in front

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 3>of us, very important divisional game. I guess a very

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:23.319
<v Speaker 3>good team, so we're looking forward to it. But we

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 3>have a lot of work to do and that's what

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 3>we're on to today. So what questions you have, Johnny.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 2>We saw that Ronnie and Marlin did not practice today.

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 4>Anything significant, anything up agantry injuries would.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.040
<v Speaker 3>Either one not long term, not long term, I'd say

0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 3>day to day. Hopefully we'll get him to Thursday. There's

0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 3>a chance, and we'll see where we're at.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 5>John, recognizing he's tough, we wanted to be out there.

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 5>It looks like Marcus Williams was having a hard time,

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, wrapping up with left arm, especially. Are you

0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 5>concerned about a liability there or just he's going to

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 5>fight through and play well.

0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's gonna keep getting better as he gets

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:03.040
<v Speaker 3>more comfortable. You know, he's got some limitation there with

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 3>kind of the protection he's got on it right now,

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 3>but as it gets stronger, it's getting stronger, he'll need

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 3>less of that and give them a little more range

0:01:10.280 --> 0:01:12.839
<v Speaker 3>of motion. So I think he's gonna be just fine

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 3>moving around good. So he's a big part of what

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:15.839
<v Speaker 3>we're doing.

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.840
<v Speaker 6>You guys, have you know, started fast pretty much every

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 6>game this year, you.

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Know, the fullest quarter.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 6>I think it's kind of been with the first Is

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.120
<v Speaker 6>there anything there? It probably doesn't seem like there's any

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 6>one trend or whatever what you're called the dude you

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 6>identified anything there in terms of that.

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, I think it's a national football it's

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 3>it's tough, it's a long season. And yeah, probably the

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>story is we've started fast really every game. That's pretty unusual.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>If we had finished strong in every game, we'd be undefeated,

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>which is what we'd like to be right now, but

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 3>we're not. So those three games where we didn't finish

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 3>where we needed to, we lost. Uh So that's kind

0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 3>of what we're working on right now. Certainly looking at

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 3>the details, you know, like you said, within it this

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 3>that whatever the detail might be, that's part of the process.

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, this thing is a journey, you know, it's

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 3>never you never set. I think we like to look

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>at and say, Okay, this is what they are, this

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 3>is what they are, and this is what they're gonna

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 3>be all year. It's like no, every team is forging

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 3>kind of the season as they go and things happen.

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 3>You get game plan, you don't play things great, You

0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.920
<v Speaker 3>play things great, plays come up, plays get made, plays

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 3>don't get made. It's the it's to me, it's the

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 3>it's the Uh, it's the it's the miracle of the

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 3>National Football League. You know, that's why everybody watches it.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 3>It's so exciting. So we just know what we got

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 3>to work on right now to get better, and that's

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>what we're working on.

0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.880
<v Speaker 7>What's what's the biggest challenge to turn around and other things?

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Getting ready to pardon them after probably two things.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the one thing is the physical part of it,

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 3>right for the guys, I mean that's just a big, big,

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:49.680
<v Speaker 3>big challenge. But uh, after it once a year, so

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 3>they're they're up for doing it. They know it's coming.

0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>So our guys are ready to face that challenge and

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 3>try to be their best Thursday. And then the mental

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:58.799
<v Speaker 3>part of it, uh, being ready with the game plan

0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 3>and putting the game plan together. Because we were right

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 3>on the game plan today right after the game. That's quick.

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 3>But we felt like we were prepared as a coaching

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 3>staff and UH, and and having a division obviously division

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 3>opponents helpful with that. Probably appreciate question jumping off that,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.320
<v Speaker 3>But do you do you find that players will like

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 3>to get right back to work after a disappointing day.

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 3>I think they do when they have a Thursday night game.

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>You know a lot of guys come in on a

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 3>normal week though they'll come in and lyft on Monday. Uh,

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 3>they'll watch the tape a lot of times even though

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>it's their off day. So different guys do it differently.

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 6>Is there any long those lines? Is there any different

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 6>about a Thursday Night came from from your guys in

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 6>the standpoint, like you know, prime time on the lights,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 6>that sort of thing, a little introjuice to their Fursday.

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.920
<v Speaker 2>It's just hits that. No.

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I think there is. I mean I think there is.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I think they're excited about Thursday Night. Thursday Night's a

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>it's a it's a primetime game. You know, it's the

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 3>only game on uh, it's a national TV game, you know,

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>on Amazon Prime.

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Is that right?

0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 3>Huh, So there they'll be excited to play. It's a

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 3>big deal.

0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>John.

0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 8>I know you're asked yesterday that Mitchell you not playing

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 8>as much in the second half. Ste anything you can

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 8>add to that, and just when you see how productive

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 8>he is, I mean, that's kind of an understandable question

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 8>to that he wasn't on the field a.

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Whole lot in a second. It's a very good question.

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.479
<v Speaker 3>I think it's you know, something that's probably you know,

0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 3>as you look back on it, part of the process

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 3>of getting a young guy in there, you know, kind

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 3>of working him into the game plan as part of

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 3>the process as we go. You know, I don't think

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 3>we felt probably as an offensive coaching staff, we're going

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 3>to throw the whole game plan on him. And then

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 3>those are kind of the plays he got called from

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.160
<v Speaker 3>the groupings get called in second half. Looking back on it,

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:36.479
<v Speaker 3>would we wanted him out there more? Yeah, And I

0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 3>think that'll factor into this this game plan. The way

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 3>he got called those plays weren't the ones that he

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 3>was kind of scheduled for, you know. So uh you

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.200
<v Speaker 3>look at look all ad Mark, you know, I mean

0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 3>you got two passes in the game.

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Is that what we want absolutely not.

0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, you want to the ball goes where it

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 3>goes sometimes, but we want the ball to go to Mark.

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.280
<v Speaker 3>So I think that's also part of the kind of

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 3>the dynamic as the season goes along, trying to work

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 3>through those things.

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 7>You mentioned yesterday to Shawn kind of getting elusive and

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 7>getting out of the pocket. Was was a disappointment when

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.480
<v Speaker 7>you had a chance to kind of digest the game.

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 7>What'd you kind of see was that because it seemed

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 7>like you guys were getting pressure.

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 9>Was it over pursuit?

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Was it just what happened?

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a great question. Almost Sometimes it was basically

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:21.599
<v Speaker 3>we pressed the pocket too too close to him, you know,

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 3>and he was able to get away. We got a

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.720
<v Speaker 3>few holding calls trying when he tried to get out

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 3>of the two, but you know, then it's a little

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 3>tough to tear off. So there's definitely a you know,

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 3>it's a it's a it's a fine line, you know,

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 3>with a quarterback that strong and that good broke a

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 3>tackler too.

0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh, We've got to do a better job of that.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 3>We have another one this week coming in who does

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 3>the same type of thing, just a different way. But

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.840
<v Speaker 3>Joe Burrow is just as good as getting out of

0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>the pocket and making play. So it's gonna be a

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 3>big point of emphasis.

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.919
<v Speaker 10>How different do you think the Bengals are gonna be

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 10>Thursday compared to the first time you played them? Just

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:56.760
<v Speaker 10>I mean, you mentioned Burrow his mobility, you know, healthier,

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 10>But what what do you what do you see from them?

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, yeah, they're they're there are ten games

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>in eleven games in whatever, and they're they're a different team.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, just like just like we are, just like

0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 3>every team in the league is. They've got you know,

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 3>he's healthier, other guys aren't. It's a different time, John.

0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.920
<v Speaker 4>From a coaching perspective, it's tough not with some of

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 4>the late games stuff to kind of question everything and

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 4>your guys trying too hard. Is there certain calls that

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 4>we could do to try to change this? Like how

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.400
<v Speaker 4>much do you put on yourself to try to kind

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 4>of figure out the root of some of these late

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 4>game issues.

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we look at the football. You know, you all

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 3>have time to dig into the psychology. If that's what

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 3>you're asking me for the root causes. Maybe there's some

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 3>historical reasons for it. I'm not exactly sure, but we're

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.599
<v Speaker 3>just looking at the football, you know. So we fixed

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.680
<v Speaker 3>the football. That's what we're doing, and our guys are

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.480
<v Speaker 3>good about that. We've got a very honest culture, very

0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:58.080
<v Speaker 3>straightforward culture. You know, we don't gloss anything over. We

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 3>all look at ourselves. We were in a partners we

0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 3>look at how we look ats pro football, you know,

0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 3>so the players and the coaches are in a partnership

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 3>together to try to play the best we can, you know,

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 3>coach the best we can put the best performers out

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 3>there that we can together.

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.240
<v Speaker 2>That's really how we do it. And I think that's

0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>part of the whole the process of the whole season.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>You know. So you can't panic, you don't.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 3>You don't get all upset about one game, you know,

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 3>just like you don't get over happy about one game,

0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 3>and you kind of try to keep an even keel

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 3>and keep moving, you know, straight ahead through the water.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 6>Did you get an explanation on the delay the game call?

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 10>That is it?

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Some of you guys thought that clock was reset on

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:40.760
<v Speaker 4>their year Lives offensive drive.

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 3>You know, they explained it. You know that those are

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:46.000
<v Speaker 3>hard Why they pumped the clock? Why they don't we

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 3>thought we were going to get a pump clock later

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 3>when we took the delay a game they had a

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>guy on the field injured. They didn't pump the clock

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 3>on that one, so, uh, not sure, not sure.

0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 7>Did you get an explanation of the crack back would

0:07:58.440 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 7>look to be a crackback block?

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Yet?

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we set it in. Hopefully we will. You know,

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 3>I saw it on tape.

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I felt like trying to save me, trying to save me.

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that. Yeah, all right.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.520
<v Speaker 8>I felt like the game kind of slowed to a

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 8>crawl at times yesterday, just given the number of injuries

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 8>and penalties and so forth.

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 6>Is it can it be hard for an offense to

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:25.920
<v Speaker 6>stay in rhythm when that's happening.

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>With Well, that's a good question. I don't.

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 3>I just think you have to deal with it. Just

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 3>you have to deal with it. And there's a lot

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 3>of delays part of football.

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>I guess.

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:42.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, great, thanks, here's tight end Mark Andrews.

0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:44.160
<v Speaker 8>Does it kind of.

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.959
<v Speaker 4>Help having a short meet coming off a lot that

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 4>you mean we just turn your focus to what's next

0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 4>on a Thursday?

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean, right now, it's all about just focusing

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:53.600
<v Speaker 9>on the next game, focusing on football, you know, like

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 9>I said after that game, we're just gonna you know,

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.680
<v Speaker 9>take you know, our mistakes and what we did in

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 9>the good things, bad things, learn from it, grow as

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 9>a team and become better, and luckily we get to

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 9>play Thursday.

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Like you said, you might.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 10>Start so strong, how are you able to you know,

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 10>this time around, carry.

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 9>That into the second had to keep them moment, just finish,

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.719
<v Speaker 9>you know. I think we've uh, we've seen it, you know,

0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 9>both ways this year, us finishing strong and and us not.

0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 9>So for us, it's we gotta be dominant. We gotta

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 9>be dominant all four quarters. And I'm looking forward to

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.800
<v Speaker 9>to to be able to take the field to the

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 9>guys this Thursday.

0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.240
<v Speaker 1>What is it about finishing Mark? I mean, obviously there's

0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>just the execution of the plays, right, but is there

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a mindset to finishing fourth quarter play?

0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 9>It's just football, man. So that's why this game is

0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 9>so beautiful as anything. It happens any given Sunday. The

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 9>guys that were playing against are are you know, incredibly talented,

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 9>and they're there for a reason. So we gotta be

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 9>on our p's and q's. We gotta do our job

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 9>and just play together and good things will happen.

0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 2>We do that.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 9>We got a special team.

0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 10>Mark, This game on Thursday was gonna be big either way.

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 10>But you know, given what happened yesterday and the result,

0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.960
<v Speaker 10>just how much bigger does this game on Thursday? You know,

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 10>between you guys and the Bengals. You know, given the

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 10>standings and what's at stake, how much bigger to make it?

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 2>You gotta look forward to it.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 9>You know, it's a it's a primetime Thursday night game. Uh,

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 9>the world's watching, so we'll we'll we'll all be up

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 9>for that. But you know, I think every you know,

0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 9>every game that we've had, we've been you know, hyped up,

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 9>peeked up for, and uh, there's no difference for this game.

0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 9>But you know, obviously it's a special games Thursday night,

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:19.079
<v Speaker 9>all lies on us.

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 7>Mark.

0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 5>Would you talk a little bit about the competitiveness and

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.559
<v Speaker 5>just this division white's.

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So tough playing in it.

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.880
<v Speaker 9>It's physical, man, it's a it's a physical division. You know,

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.160
<v Speaker 9>there's there's no team that's you know, that's easy. It's

0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:33.320
<v Speaker 9>a cake walking. Even if a team's way better one

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 9>year and and not another year, it's a it's always

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 9>gonna be a dogfight. So I've got a lot of

0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 9>pride in this division and and and uh obviously bride

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 9>in the Ravens. So yeah, it stuff.

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:46.439
<v Speaker 1>It's frustrating as yesterday was. I mean the offense. You've

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.560
<v Speaker 1>scored thirty more than thirty points at past four weeks.

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Do you what do you feel like is coming together

0:10:52.000 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 1>for this offense?

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.040
<v Speaker 9>I think had times. And you know, there's been a

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 9>couple of games we've been really efficient, but you know

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 9>there's certain dry as we're just moving the ball, you know,

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 9>being efficient and moving the ball, doing our job. And

0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:06.520
<v Speaker 9>you know, I think that we've we've grown as an offense.

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:08.400
<v Speaker 9>If you look from first game to to this game,

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 9>this last game, we've gotten a lot better. We've kind

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 9>of gotten our identity and it's only going to get

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 9>better and better.

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Thanks guys.

0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Next up, running back Keaton Mitchell.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:23.600

0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.680
<v Speaker 11>nothing like this. I don't know how big it's supposed

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 11>to be, but I know it's a divisional opponent. Uh So, yeah,

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 11>that that aspect, yes, I know is big, but I

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.839
<v Speaker 11>mean Monday or Thursday just another game.

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.400
<v Speaker 4>I didn't kind of handle this ride, you know.

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just a lot of buzz around you for

0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:20.640
<v Speaker 1>obvious reasons, making big plays. How do you kind of

0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:21.719
<v Speaker 1>take that all in?

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:26.240
<v Speaker 11>I mean, it is what it is. I mean I

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.320
<v Speaker 11>don't really get two stuff on that. I just try

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 11>to focus on the next game and focus on myself

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 11>and just give all the glory to my teammates cause

0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 11>I couldn't do it without the old line or anybody

0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:38.839
<v Speaker 11>on this team.

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 3>How would you describe the mood of the locker room

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:42.840
<v Speaker 3>over the last twenty four hours.

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 11>I mean, we coming in today, we j we all

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:49.239
<v Speaker 11>just put it behind it, like we just got Cincinnati.

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 11>We gotta take care of those, so we're not really

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:53.280
<v Speaker 11>we're not gonna let.

0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:53.959
<v Speaker 2>This game favorus.

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 5>Is this sort of silver lining of having such a

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.320
<v Speaker 5>quick turnaround that you have to sort of flush Sunday

0:12:58.360 --> 0:12:58.840
<v Speaker 5>so quickly.

0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.839

<v Speaker 11>his leaders by this.

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:06.319

0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:07.600
<v Speaker 6>shit than he plays.

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:08.760
<v Speaker 2>And so forth. Moving forward?
