The Ravens took down the Denver Broncos forty 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: one to ten on Sunday, but they have to quickly 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: turn the page because on Thursday night, the Cincinnati Bengals 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: are coming to town for a prime time matchup.

So we're 9 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: excited about that, and the Ravens quickly turned the page 10 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: to this game on Thursday night. They held a simulated 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: practice today and afterwards we had a chance to hear 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,239 Speaker 1: from some of the guys and head coach John Hardball. 13 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: Okay, good to see you guys.

Obviously they see it the same way, so 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to be at a very best, very 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: important game. But we're locked in and preparing for that 22 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 2: right now. That's what we're doing. The questions John everybody else, 23 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,520 Speaker 2: I've not changed or done anything as far as your 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 2: Thursday week operation. Well, yeah, I mean we're always tweaking things, 25 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: you know. It's today's practice was different than other ones 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: that we've had in terms of the reps and how 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: I went about it. You always kind of adjust for 28 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: you know, what you learn and where your team is 29 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: at and everything we use. We do use a lot 30 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: of information that performance information numbers and things like that, 31 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: and loads and things like that. We use that to 32 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: set these practices up. But the main thing is we're 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 2: working on the plays and the defensive calls and the 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: special teams calls that we're gonna we're gonna need and 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 2: run Thursday night, and that's where that's what we're working on. 36 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 3: Do you find these. 37 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: Division games are not easy to prepare Fornesday night, but 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 4: a little bit easier from a staring point being almost short. 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: Week because there's so yeah, well, in that sense, you 40 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: don't have to learn your opponent as much. You know 41 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: you already you already know that you know the players, 42 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: and you know the history. You know you've lived it. 43 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: You go back and you studied again really hard.

Anyway, 55 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: for the whole team. We'll see how it works for everybody. Yeah, well, 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, whatever, you got to do, whatever it takes. 57 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: It's a long season. A lot of things happen. Guys 58 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: prepare different ways. 59 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 5: Uh. 60 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: Sometimes guys have things that they're dealing with. Other time 61 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: other times guys need rest. You know, you just you 62 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: take it as it as it presents itself. 63 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: Travis Jones held out yet, it will not held out. 64 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 4: But with the kind of emergency bases where if you 65 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 4: need it, we could go to work, like just give 66 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 4: me a couple. 67 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: More days, right, we had we'd kind of hope for 68 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: a certain number of reps if we needed them, and uh, 69 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 2: you know they were. They're a good running team, so 70 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: we went with the extra D line in that sense. 71 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: But you know, he didn't have to go, and I 72 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: thought those guys, kudos to the guys that that went 73 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 2: and they did a great job be so likely. 74 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 6: On the injury report, was that something that happened during 75 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 6: the game yesterday. 76 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: Is it any longer term. 77 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: Concern, Yeah, something he's dealing with. It's just with the 78 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 2: short week. We'll just have to see how it works 79 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: out here the next couple of days. 80 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: Lamark has been really good. I think leads the NFL 81 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: and and passes a fifteen yards and more. Given the 82 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 4: offense and all the sort of words you happened and 83 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: how in bold and I guess do you guys feel 84 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: in terms of that that's truely aggressive? 85 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 5: Well, I feel no different than we've felt all year 86 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 5: about it. 87 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: You know. 88 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: It's uh, it's those plays are the plays. Sometimes it's 89 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: a result of the play design. Sometimes it's you know, 90 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: Lamar extending to play making stuff happen too. You've seen 91 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: that as well, So it just kind of as you 92 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: go it unfolds before you. Your personality is and offense, 93 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: the things that you do well, the things you need 94 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: to get better at, just kind of unfolds as you 95 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: go and try to try to just keep improving. And 96 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 2: I think our offense, all our whole team has done 97 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: a great job of that. 98 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 4: Marcus Williams was put back and they'll starting lineup after 99 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 4: not playing Cleveland. 100 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 3: Just what was your assessment that doesn't play in this performance. 101 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, Marcus played really well. Thought the whole defense did. 102 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: The coverage was really good. But yeah, Marcus had an 103 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: excellent game. I started off the game, I mean, came 104 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: right out of there the dp HAF and had that 105 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: hit right to the line of scrimmage and great play, 106 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: great tackle play, and numerous other really good plays throughout 107 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: the game. Was in great position, discouraged a lot of 108 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: throws downfield because of where he was at numerous times. 109 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: I thought he played really well trying it. 110 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: Toward the end of the second quarter they had just scored. 111 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 2: You get the ball back with something like I don't know, 112 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: forty five to fifty seconds and one time out you 113 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 2: end up scoring on the Flowers touchdown. 114 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 7: But what goes into you're getting the ball coming out 115 00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 7: at halftime as well. 116 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: It was into your decision at that point whether it 117 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: be aggressive in. 118 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 5: That moment or on it. Well, it's a good question. 119 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: It really starts when you're on defense and you're trying 120 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: to manage the time in a way that you know 121 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: you don't you don't call timeouts for for the offense, 122 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 2: for their offense to give them time to go score. 123 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: Or they had timeouts, we knew they would use them, 124 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: but when it got to it got down towards where 125 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 2: we thought we could get them stopped and you have 126 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 2: a chance to get the ball back, you'd like to 127 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: have it back, like with a minute or so as 128 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 2: much time as you can give yourself a chance to 129 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: at least get a field. Well, that's the thinking. So 130 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 2: we called those timeouts to try to get that back. 131 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: I think we still had one left if I remember right, 132 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 2: for our drive, which worked out really well for us. 133 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: And yeah, we're trying to be aggressive. We want to 134 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: go get points. You need points. You know, it's another possession, 135 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 2: so you kind of have an opportunity to steal possession 136 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: at the end of the half, especially when you're getting 137 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 2: the ball to start the second half. You get possessions 138 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: on both sides of that thing, and it just couldn't 139 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: have worked out any better for us. 140 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 5: I mean, that's the ideal when you. 141 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: Can put a touchdown and a touchdown and bracket halftime 142 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: with touchdowns, that's that's the goal. 143 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 4: Which almost there any satisfact winning the challenge. 144 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: There was always winning a challenge other than just getting 145 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 2: the ball on offense because of the turnover. Yeah, you 146 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 2: know what I tell you what with our guys in 147 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: the box, Daniel Stern and the people in the box 148 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: did a great job of really taking a good look 149 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,799 Speaker 2: at that monitor we had that we had the pylon 150 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: camera when when they saw the pilon when he saw 151 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 2: the pilon camera shot upstairs, you know, he he he 152 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 2: saw right away that it had a real good chance 153 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: to win. So that was awesome. I mean that was 154 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 2: big for us. That was a huge, huge play in 155 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 2: the game. 156 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 7: John Eddie Jackson just a numbers game and we would 157 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 7: get more wind to be with hiss back, you had 158 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 7: to leave the DG or that. 159 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 3: Decision to go down. 160 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 5: That's what it was. 161 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 2: I mean, it was nothing about the way the way 162 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 2: he played. He played well and he was in good position. 163 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 2: He made tackles. He's been playing well all year. It's 164 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 2: just kind of the way the numbers are working out 165 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,160 Speaker 2: right now. Then you've got the versatility of different guys 166 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 2: in spots on you know, he and I had a 167 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: great conversation. He's he's a class act pro in every way. 168 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 2: He wants to play, wants to contribute, and he will 169 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: I see it the same way as Marcus. 170 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 5: He will. 171 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 2: He'll be out there and he'll be making a difference 172 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: for us this year, and we'll just let the circumstances 173 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 2: kind of unfold on that. 174 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 7: John, I think you guys are on like a per 175 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 7: play places per play basis just about as efficient with 176 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 7: motion as without. I think he cranked it up a 177 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 7: little bit against Denver. But I guess what kind of 178 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 7: goes into just the game planning approach each week to 179 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 7: decide we want to be more static, we want to 180 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 7: be more dynamic. 181 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,679 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think you know, and obviously todder 182 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: Be you know, give you he probably won't tell you anything, 183 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: you know, so but there's two things is how it 184 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: affects the defense, you know, and how they adjust to it, 185 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: and so much you want to find out how they're 186 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: going to adjust to it, and Denver is a good 187 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: example of that. 188 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 5: What Seawan does. 189 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 2: I mean the first fifteen plays, they put a lot 190 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: of motions out there, in formations and put the formation 191 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 2: into the boundary just to see see what they can 192 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: build for the rest of the game. But if you 193 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: can create some kind of advantage, whether it's a numbers 194 00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: advantage of blocking advantage, sometimes it shows you if it's 195 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: manners own. Sometimes you can create a problem with their 196 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 2: coverage and get somebody open. I mean, all those things 197 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: are part of it. Sometimes it's just to put them 198 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: on your heels a little bit, just to create a 199 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 2: different picture. So you can hide a formation and run 200 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: the same macy rod that you would run. But maybe 201 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: they have a more difficult time identifying what's coming because 202 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: they have to because there's moving parts in front of it. 203 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: I think all those things are part of it. Sometimes 204 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: it's could just come out, line up and play ball. 205 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 2: So and I think Todd does a great job too 206 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: of building off of what you've been doing. Well, they've 207 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 2: seen that they have to defend one thing. Now let's 208 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 2: give them something off of that. That's the next step. 209 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 3: John, do you. 210 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 4: Expect anything in Prince's crazy at the deadline, know about 211 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: twenty hours away or so, or you can conversation with 212 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,079 Speaker 4: Eric regularly or not. 213 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: He oh yeah, I mean he always brings stuff to 214 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 2: me if it's if it's something that's real and legitimate. 215 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 2: He communicates really really well with that, and we'll just 216 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: see where it goes. I mean, it's about twenty four 217 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 2: hours now, tell that, So now's the time and we'll 218 00:08:58,760 --> 00:08:59,680 Speaker 2: see if something unfolds. 219 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 5: But right now, from my perspective. 220 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about the game, the game plan against 221 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 2: Cincinnati and focusing on that. 222 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 4: On your about halfway through the season is how would 223 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 4: you evaluate your rookies like Nick Wiggins, Roger Rose. 224 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 3: And Gardener guys that have been active in these games. 225 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say growing, you know those guys growing. 226 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: Other guys too.

Uh, 391 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 8: the first game we played them this season, they were 392 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 8: showing me all type of looks. So there's no telling 393 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 8: what they're gonna be doing this game. Hopefully it'll be 394 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 8: probably the same, you know, because we put up a 395 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 8: lot of points. 396 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 7: I'll see uh on that. You know, the wheel route 397 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 7: to justice yesterday board the snap kind of set them motion, 398 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 7: brought them back, ends up working down the west sideline. 399 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 7: I mean, did you know kind of before even snapped 400 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 7: the ball that you had Denver's defense kind of worked 401 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 7: right where you needed to. 402 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 8: I'll just say I knew I was going with the 403 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 8: ball pre snap. Yeah, just from just looking at the 404 00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 8: defense and how they played out pre snap. 405 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: Next is cornerback Marlon Humphrey. 406 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 3: How's how's than you doing? 407 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 5: How to do that? 408 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: It's great? 409 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 9: Well, and you played in quite a few Thursday games. 410 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 9: What's what's the biggest challenge? What do you do differently 411 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 9: to try to be ready for Thursday game knowing that 412 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 9: you're not gonna get as much preparation time. 413 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, it's hard, l uh, a lot of mental work, 414 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 10: but really big on the body. It's it's always seems 415 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 10: like whoever can recover the fastest is usually the team 416 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 10: that you know that looks the freshest. And uh it 417 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 10: it's tough. It's just tough turn around, but you know 418 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 10: it's uh the r the reward after is cool, you 419 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 10: know if you went when when you win, uh to 420 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 10: get the extra days off, but uh, you know thursdays 421 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 10: about you know, recovery, mental work. So a little different 422 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 10: twist than just a typical Sunday game. 423 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: What's the biggest challenge of going against the Joe Burrow 424 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 3: heard the biggest challenges. Uh. 425 00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 10: I mean he he trusts his guy. He likes his 426 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 10: guys more than than he likes me. So that's that's 427 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,439 Speaker 10: the biggest challenge challenge. You know, most quarterbacks when they 428 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 10: see it got kind of covered, they usually don't throw it. 429 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 10: But Joe, he's like, even if this guy's covered, I 430 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 10: think my guy can make a play. And you know, tho, 431 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 10: those guys make a ton of plays. I think last game, 432 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 10: there's a lot of contested catches and it seemed like 433 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 10: they came down with you know a lot of those. 434 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 10: So you know it's gonna be a lot of uh, 435 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 10: a lot of passing, great receivers and obviously, uh a 436 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 10: guy like Joe. 437 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: You know, he. 438 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 10: Puts it on the money, he doesn't you know there y, 439 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,959 Speaker 10: you know what you're gonna get with Joe. I mean, 440 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,719 Speaker 10: ELI elite quarterback. So it's always a touch challenge. 441 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 5: Well maybe a. 442 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: Simple question, but how good it feel to get those 443 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: two picks against. 444 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: Hamp for that? Shoot? Man, we were like so far 445 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 3: away from that. 446 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 10: I don't even it's uh it's Cincinnati week, so I'm 447 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 10: I'm ready to to to get some work in for Cincy. 448 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 6: How much motivation is the defense taking from the last 449 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 6: since the game it was a high scoring event, you 450 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 6: know you all taken taking motivation from that one. 451 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 10: Yeah, we felt like we should have lost, you know, 452 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 10: I think that's what kind of what we talked about today. 453 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 10: You know it's, uh, we won the game, but we 454 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 10: we did not play well, I think especially the secondary alone. 455 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,639 Speaker 10: You know, it was like I said, it was a 456 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 10: lot of contested catches, but you know, big plays, too 457 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 10: many big plays. So we're we're we're hoping to tryna 458 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 10: limit the passing attack and and get going. You know, 459 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 10: we we wanna that's the biggest thing. You know, we've 460 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 10: been we've been searching. I think it's it's been a 461 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 10: really good response in our room of you know, as 462 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 10: Covin and Nowis said, you know, he didn't finished last 463 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 10: and nothing. So with with that number being thirty two 464 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 10: that that's not something we like, that's not something we 465 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 10: wanna be. 466 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 3: And it's always a a tough challenge. 467 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 10: But you know, I think we got the guys for 468 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 10: the job, and we're gonna keep working at it, keep 469 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 10: working at it all the. 470 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 3: Way up until game time, and then let it loose 471 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 3: Thursday night. 472 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 4: You feel like the Denver game was a step forward 473 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 4: for the defense. 474 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 3: In the secondary. 475 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 10: Yeah, I thought it was. You know, I thought we 476 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,640 Speaker 10: I thought we played well. I wanted to keep uh 477 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 10: them under two hundred. I know, right there at the end, 478 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 10: I think they got it. But you know, we just 479 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 10: gotta keep chasing the details. 480 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: You know. 481 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 10: I think it's it's bad when you know what you're 482 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 10: being coached. If you're not don't have it to the t. 483 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 10: That's what's kind of hurting us. So we we've you know, 484 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 10: in our room, we've we've realized as players, you know, 485 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 10: we gotta do it exactly how we're coached, exactly how 486 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 10: we're doing it in practice to get it to go 487 00:19:58,440 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 10: in the game. 488 00:19:58,840 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 3: We can't practice it all. 489 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 10: We this way, we can just coach this way, and 490 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 10: then we get in the game is and it's not 491 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 10: exactly how you just practiced it. So that's been the 492 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 10: biggest thing. We've been talking about doing your one of 493 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 10: eleven so many times this year. Just one guy's just 494 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 10: not exactly where he's supposed to be, and that's where 495 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 10: it's been hit. It's it's been hitting like ninety percent. 496 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,359 Speaker 10: When you watch other teams, you see people wide open here, 497 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 10: wide open here, doesn't get hit. But for us, it's 498 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 10: been really making us get so detailed because it seemed 499 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 10: like every time one guy's just supposed to be two 500 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 10: yards outside of the hash, you're not two yards of hash, 501 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 10: the ball goes there, you're not INSI leverage. 502 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,959 Speaker 3: It's it's been so little, tiny, detailed. 503 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 10: It's made everybody tighten up their approach, tighten up their 504 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 10: mindset and really just focus to just do only your job, 505 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 10: your job only. And so it's it's been, uh, it's 506 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 10: been very unique from that aspect. But it makes you focus. 507 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 10: It makes you focusing and that's what we need. 508 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 6: Has it has it bothered you some of the criticism 509 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 6: that Zach has taken after some of the more difficult 510 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 6: keeping some performances. 511 00:20:55,400 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 10: I uh, I don't exactly know what's going on besides 512 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 10: what kind of I get what I get told I 513 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 10: I my only my only social media is Instagram Live 514 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 10: after victory, So I haven't seen a lot, but I 515 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 10: do know there feel like there's been some chatter and 516 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 10: for me as a as a player, as no knowing 517 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 10: what's going on. I hate I hate seeing coaches get 518 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 10: under scrutiny when it's the player's fault, you know, And 519 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 10: I felt that there was you know, this ain't being 520 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 10: coached this way, right, This ain't being this this and 521 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 10: being this it's a little different, but it really sucks 522 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 10: when what we're putting, the product we're putting out there 523 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 10: isn't what we're being coached, isn't what we're practicing. And 524 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 10: that's that's kind of what what hurts me you know 525 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 10: some of the players I've given up? Is that the 526 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 10: coaches fault or did we practice it this week and 527 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 10: then I got in the game and I didn't play 528 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 10: it exactly how it was supposed to be and the 529 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 10: results of a big play. And I hate I hate 530 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 10: how you know, coaches get you know, I hate how 531 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 10: that goes. 532 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 3: But that that that is the NFL. 533 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 10: You know, it's you know, the the person over it 534 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 10: kind of gets whatever. 535 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 3: But it it is kind of what it is. 536 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 10: But I hate that just because you know, when it's 537 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,679 Speaker 10: when it's your when it's your fault. Sometimes while somebody's 538 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 10: getting scrutinized it, Uh, that's never It's never a good thing. 539 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 5: Marlon. 540 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 9: I don't think we had a chance to ask you 541 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 9: when Dean Pas joined the staff. You were one of 542 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 9: the few guys who played for him. I know it 543 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 9: was your rookie year. But him being here now a 544 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 9: few weeks, what do you think he's maybe brought that 545 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 9: has helped the defense or do you think will help 546 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 9: the defense moving forward. 547 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 10: He's just brought an extra set of eyes, extra set 548 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 10: of ears. He he's pulled guys to the side. It's 549 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 10: a it's a real surreal moment for me. I remember 550 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 10: when I was a rookie, Pease pulled me up to 551 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 10: the office. It was like, look at every everybody else 552 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 10: on the defense and then look at you, and it 553 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 10: wasn't too good. So it's been a surreal moment for me, 554 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 10: just kind of how far I've kind of become, how 555 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 10: I've kind of been doing this job for a long time. 556 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 3: But I think uh Pie's coming in has been a 557 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 3: really good, good help for us. 558 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 10: I think, you know, the knowledge he has there, and 559 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 10: then being that Zach was already you know, communicating with 560 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 10: them throughout the season, it's been really good. I think, 561 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 10: just give it a freshet of oz on some of 562 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 10: the things he said, and you know, he's he's doing 563 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 10: this for the love of the game. 564 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 3: You know he was, and so that's what I really like. 565 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 10: So I think I think it's only helped us, But 566 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 10: I've really felt like, you know, the past the past 567 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 10: week or so. 568 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: It's he's really kind of started to help out a 569 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 3: little bit more. 570 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Ravens Press Past podcast.
