0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>fresh off their bye week and now it's time for

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the stretch run. They've got four games left in the

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 1>regular season and they are in the middle of a

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>playoff push. Today they were back on the practice field

0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and gearing up for that final run. And after practice

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>today we had a chance to hear from head coach

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:22.119
<v Speaker 1>John Harbaugh.

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good seeing everybody. Appreciate you guys being here. A

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>good start to the week. What questions you have.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 3>Going to get the Giants be in a heavy favorite everyone.

0:00:36.520 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna hear all week about help and Piston Boston leads.

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 3>Any concern about that, do you try to do anything

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:44.319
<v Speaker 3>to kind of counteract out.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.280
<v Speaker 2>We're excited to get back to work. You know, we

0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>had a good week. I think our guys made the

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.919
<v Speaker 2>most of the week. Different guys different things. We had

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 2>some rest player wise. We also had a bunch of

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>guys training and working and getting ready for what's ahead.

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 2>We have a four game season in front of us

0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>right now. This is the season as we've kind of

0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 2>begins now. The season is important to determine, you know,

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 2>the important outcomes for the rest of the way, and

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're focused on. So we're gonna be focused

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.200
<v Speaker 2>on this game, but everything we've got into it, uh,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and then we'll go from there.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.639
<v Speaker 4>John We obviously all reported about the statement on Deontay

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 4>Johnson last.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 5>Week, but is there a path for him to beet

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 5>back with the team after the suspension.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 2>I think this statement said that there'd be no further

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>comment on that, So we'll just kind of leave it

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 2>at that and we'll see where it goes as time permits.

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 4>Does does the suspension include practice as well?

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>I think I just said what it says. It's a

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>suspension this week, right, That's what it is. Suspension. You

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>mean suspension. There's no practice during suspension. Yeah, that's how

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>suspensions work.

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 6>There's been three instances with guys that have kind of

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.240
<v Speaker 6>come out but unhappy with the role. Are you okay

0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 6>with the buying in the locker room and term of

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 6>roles and all that or is that just always a

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 6>challenge in individual situations.

0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I think we've been doing great. I mean, we've got

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 2>guys that are out there playing heck hard. Are you

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 2>talking about the receiver room? Is that every talking about not.

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 6>Just receiver room, but Eddie Jackson and Marcus Williams.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, guys have been professional. They work hard, guys

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>want to play, and uh, you know, it's based on

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:24.200
<v Speaker 2>it's based on opportunity, it's based on performance, it's based

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 2>on need, all those things. Our locker room has been fantastic,

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, and guys have been working hard. You saw

0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 2>the way they practiced out here today, So I'm really happy.

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 2>You see how hard they play every single week. We're

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.720
<v Speaker 2>in a great place and I love our guys.

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 6>John, do you have any update on Deante Hardy's injury situation?

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:41.799
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.440
<v Speaker 2>No, I have no update on that.

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, John, help pleased?

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 7>Are you just?

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 4>I mean you've had just about everyone on the practice field.

0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean you had to buy weedon.

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 2>You talked about some of the guys that that time

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.160
<v Speaker 2>off could help you feel good about where your team

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 2>is Helplies. Now do I feel great about where our

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 2>team is at? I mean we had almost everybody, all

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>but one guy out there today. He's dealing with a hamstring,

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.440
<v Speaker 2>so he'll be a day to day going into the game.

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll see if he can make it to the game.

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 2>And the rest of the guys out there practicing fast

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 2>and good and excited for what's in front of us,

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>really happy with where we're at and can't wait to

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>see what we do over the next week, two weeks,

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>three weeks, four weeks into the playoffs.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 4>I know week fourteen buy is probably a little unusual,

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 4>But did you feel like it came at the right

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 4>time but maybe a little reset or would you have

0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 4>liked to kind of keep it.

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Going it might have.

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm happy with where it's at. You know,

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 2>you kind of you take it. It's like any circumstance,

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you take it as you find it. But I can

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 2>find a lot of positives in it being this past week,

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, I felt like it was at the right time.

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's an opportunity really for us to really

0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of just heal up and freshen up and continue

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>to get stronger. I mean, we want to play our

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>best football right now. That's what we're really focusing on doing.

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Everything else is just is just a sideshow. Everything else

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.520
<v Speaker 2>is just a distraction. None of it's important. What's important

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 2>is is our football, you know, the football, getting the

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 2>football right, playing our best football, uh that we're capable

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 2>of playing. Everybody locked in for that. That's what it's

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 2>really all about. Nothing else matters, Everything else is just

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>just just static.

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 8>Health.

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:19.919
<v Speaker 4>You know how close Michael Pierce to being able to

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 4>come back, And I know you've got some time in

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 4>his window. He practiced full today so and then Travis

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:29.159
<v Speaker 4>Jones as well, and it was.

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 2>He practiced full today too.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>So having those guys back, how much does that help?

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 9>That time?

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>That huge? Those guys are great players. I mean, those

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 2>guys are game wreckers inside, you know, those guys being

0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>being being ready to go, being one hundred percent. Uh

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>is a is A is a possibility for us, A

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>massive possibility, two massive guys playing massively good football. That's

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>the idea inside and the trenches there. These games are

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna be one in the trenches. That's where it's going

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:58.919
<v Speaker 2>to start. So uh, that's what we want to do.

0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 2>We want those guys out there doing what they do.

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 3>And I know, with three games and love of danger,

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 3>trying to scout as much as possible ahead, were you

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 3>able to do even some self I knew a lot

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 3>of times in your body we could do a lot

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>of self scouting as well. Were you able to do

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>that or was it more focused as coaches looking ahead?

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh? It's focused on all that. I mean, the self

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>scouting is part of it, because you want to understand

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>how people see you, you know, and how they're going

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 2>to gain plan against you. You try to do that

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 2>as you go. We do a really good job of

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>that as we go. But I also think a chance

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 2>to really kind of take a deep dive then plan

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 2>going forward. You know, the players, you know, they focus

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 2>on the rest. The coaches, they get to work on

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.880
<v Speaker 2>all these things, and it's very comprehensive everything that has

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>to do with the next four weeks and past. That

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>is what we're looking at in terms of finding ways

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 2>to make plays, score points, get stops, you know, all

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>the different things we can do keep people off balance,

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>great problems for our opponents, put our players in position

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 2>to make plays. I mean, those are the things that

0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>we're trying to find. Turn over every stone that we

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 2>can along those lines, and we can come up with

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 2>and that's what we did. John, you said justin Tucker

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 2>was going to have to figure his things out. Have

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:08.040
<v Speaker 2>you talked to him since you return and where does

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 2>his head seem.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 5>To be at?

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 2>I talked to him. He's in a great place. Yeah,

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 2>He's in a great place, John, you have.

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>A chance to watch the first episode of art.

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>I did not.

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.720
<v Speaker 2>I did not. I will say, you know, like you

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 2>do get home at night usually we work pretty late

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 2>at night. Don't get a lot of TV watching time,

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, as a football you know, in this football

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.719
<v Speaker 2>coaching world during the season. So there were a couple

0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 2>of shows I got caught up on, but that wasn't

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 2>one of them. So I hate to set them right there. Sorry, guys,

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean I was there. I know what happened already.

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have to see it. I watched Yellowstone, Man,

0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm fired up to get a Yellowstone back to watch.

0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Do I plan to watch? I don't know. We'll see,

0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll see, all right.

0:06:57.279 --> 0:06:58.040
<v Speaker 3>We'll see how it goes.

0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's a good story, you know.

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:02.520
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, how do you want.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 5>To ask the key stretch coming up? What's been your

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:06.560
<v Speaker 5>message to the team or do you feel like I've

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 5>even had to say anything? Like you guys kind of

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 5>know what it is.

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I thought pretty much shared most of it with you already,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, through the press conference. I mean, guys know

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 2>and uh, but we try to speak it, you know,

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>we're all trying to be on the same page. But

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>this is our opportunity and it's about the football. Let's

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 2>go play our best football. Weren't a good place. We

0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.720
<v Speaker 2>got a bunch of great players, a bunch of great coaches.

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>We got some tough opponents in front of us, starting

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 2>with the Giants on Sunday, and let's go see what

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 2>we're all about.

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.960

0:07:55.880 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 8>Say yeah, you'll be welcome back, cause it it's a

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:05.320

<v Speaker 8>gonna lie. I just wanna win. So anything I could do,

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.319

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.079
<v Speaker 8>the older team. And if that's catching one pass, if

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 8>that's catching ten passes, that's what i'm'a do now after

0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:57.760
<v Speaker 8>the game more than.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 3>His mother custom out for that, Yeah more?

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.559
<v Speaker 8>What do you think that that's a floridam all when

0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 8>you're playing.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 3>With him out there? Do you do you think there's

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:07.800
<v Speaker 3>chances for lamar or do you.

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 6>Do you not?

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:09.760
<v Speaker 8>If I'm wanna be honest, he can run a ball

0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 8>whatever you want. It's just up to him if you

0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 8>want to run it. So it's not nobody stopping him

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.679
<v Speaker 8>from running. It's really itself if you want advise it,

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 8>if you want to run. So you know, I'm I

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.679
<v Speaker 8>can't really tell him what to do. He got two MVPs,

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 8>so I'm gonna let him do what he do best.

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Have you guys had those conversations because he kind of

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>hinted last time that he was letting you guys go

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>through your progressions.

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 8>Almost Oh no, not really mean we just played. We

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 8>just played the game. We play off him, whatever you

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 8>want to do. That's what we all.

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Here is wide receiver or shot bateman.

0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 5>We've been playing for a long time now. Thirteen game

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 5>is straight. Some teams already had their vibe, but we didn't.

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 5>So it's definitely good to go take a break, see

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 5>some family, and come back to the game. I think

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 5>we all didn't need that.

0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>You got your pretty heavy favorite going into this Giants game.

0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 3>I think everyone's talking about how you guys sh Everyone's

0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 3>saying how you should beat the tie. How do you

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 3>go about not overlooking.

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:09.840
<v Speaker 5>Fam I mean being a Ravens football player. I think

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 5>we should be the giants. But I mean, obviously we

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 5>gotta go out and do what we need to do.

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 5>And I think that's what we need to focus on

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.440
<v Speaker 5>right now, is doing our job for.

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.720

<v Speaker 5>Uh late by, Yeah, just having a weight line, you know,

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 5>having that for the stretch from uh. I, I definitely think

0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 5>it comes at the right time. We all been going hard,

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.480

<v Speaker 4>Guys one fourth playoffs, you know, importing these possible games.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, all we know is every game is the same.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you had to last for important but or rall,

0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 5>there's a team and we're just thinking that to win

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 5>every single game whatever that looks like. We're not worried

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 5>about you know, we're all worry about the playoffs, but

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:08.920
<v Speaker 5>we're not worried about you know, what game is going

0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.840
<v Speaker 5>to get us there and and uh, the losses and

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:13.400
<v Speaker 5>this and that. We just worry about winning and you know,

0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 5>changing our bits and being our bus and then.

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 2>You guys got this league by so it's kind of

0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 2>like a breather here, but not really just because coming

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>at your schedule, how do you approach just having.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 9>That many games?

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 5>Nessa in, Uh, we're forced too, so we got to

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 5>find a way. So it is what it is.

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 9>It is what it is.

0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:31.200
<v Speaker 5>It's hard, but you know, guys find.

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:31.520
<v Speaker 3>Out what to do.

0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Next? Is kicker justin Tucker?

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 6>Just how does the team approach is playing this many

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.200
<v Speaker 6>as many games and in a crazy span?

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.439
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think we all understand the challenge that's ahead

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.200
<v Speaker 7>of us. You know, it almost doesn't make too much

0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:56.200
<v Speaker 7>sense to look too far ahead, uh and concern ourselves

0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:01.000
<v Speaker 7>with you know, the schedule. Everybody's got different challenges that

0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:05.679
<v Speaker 7>they're facing schedule wise across the league. What we can

0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.400
<v Speaker 7>control is how we approach our meetings today, how we

0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:13.959
<v Speaker 7>approached practice, and how we approach our preparation heading into

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 7>this game, most important game of the season, as far

0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 7>as we're concerned. You know, we feel like that every week.

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.079
<v Speaker 7>But maintaining that mindset is what will service well down

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.120
<v Speaker 7>the stretch here these uh these last several weeks in

0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:25.839
<v Speaker 7>the regular season.

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:27.040
<v Speaker 5>We're not on a championship team.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>You've been on multiple playoff teams here at this franchise.

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Does this locker room have.

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 8>What it takes the lock.

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:32.559
<v Speaker 1>In and get this done?

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.880
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely? I think it starts with uh, you know, our leadership.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.120
<v Speaker 7>You know I say that in every single every single

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 7>man in here with uh you know, with a roster spot,

0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:45.200
<v Speaker 7>with a locker, with a little real estate in this

0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 7>locker room, every single one of us will be counted

0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.880
<v Speaker 7>on in a significant way at some point. And when

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:55.440
<v Speaker 7>the time comes, I'm sure each and every guy in

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:59.719
<v Speaker 7>this locker room will be ready to perform.
