1 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to this post game edition of the From the 2 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,440 Speaker 1: Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Cola. The Browns top the Green 3 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: Bay Packers in a thrilling thirteen to ten final at 4 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: Huntington bank Field this Sunday. On this episode, you're here 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: from head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Joe Flacco, and defensive 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: end Miles Garrett. We start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, 7 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: who gave his thoughts on the big win. 8 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 2: Really proud of that football team in there, feeding off 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: of each other, you know, was not always easy. And listen, 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: that's a great football team. On the other side, that's 11 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 2: I have a ton of respect for a coach Laflora 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: and that group. That's a great, great team. And we 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 2: battled to the end and made those plays when we 14 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: needed to and just fed off of each other and 15 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 2: complimented each other. And you know, we get that big 16 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 2: takeaway from Grant sets us up. You know, we got 17 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: a big play obviously from Q Early, we get a stop, 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: we got a block from Shelby, so it was just everybody. 19 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: Then Drake came through at the end. I'm really proud 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 2: of that young man. I'm happy for that young man, 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 2: he's uh, he's been through a lot and and he 22 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 2: uh he he, he's uh he came through. So happy 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 2: for him. And you know, it's uh, this is the NFL. 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 3: It's hard. 25 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: Uh. You're gonna go up against some tough teams and 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 2: some tough matchups and you're gonna have to fight, scratch 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 2: and claw. And I thought our team did that today, 28 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 2: if that'll take any question. 29 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 4: Paid off during the week kind. 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: Of apparently apparently, so, I mean, and you know, made 31 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 2: a made a point of it this week. I mean 32 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 2: that that's football, one on one. We know that we 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: we have to play that way every single week. But 34 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 2: I think you saw there in that fourth quarter, our 35 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: defense needed to get stops, and they got stops. Uh, 36 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: And and that was a huge part of that game. 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 3: Can you just talk about the emotions that you had 38 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,639 Speaker 3: coming off the field with your fist pumping. 39 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 2: I don't remember. I don't remember. Yeah, you know, for me, 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: I get to watch this team work, I get to 41 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 2: watch these coaches work, and when you don't get the 42 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: results you want in the first couple, you want it 43 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: for them. I wanted that ball to go through uprights 44 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: for Andre. I wanted that team to to fight till 45 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: the last minute, to the last second in this case, 46 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: and come away with a win because they deserve it 47 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 2: based on how hard they work. 48 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 5: How important is it to get a win early? I 49 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 5: mean not let week after we talked about the work. 50 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: The thing. I'll tell you, Chris, in the NFL, you 51 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 2: better put the blinders on because this win today won't 52 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 2: matter next week. And whatever whoever playing next week that 53 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: they don't care what we just did. It's just it's 54 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: how the NFL happens. Every week. It comes at you 55 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: and you have to move on. You got to put 56 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: the blinders on. So obviously we go into this one winless. 57 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: I know that, but I can't let that affect how 58 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: I work. I can't let that affect how we get 59 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 2: this team ready to play and then ultimately we worry 60 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: about these one game seasons that we have. I'm sorry. 61 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,920 Speaker 4: How bad do you think it got for Schmidt after 62 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 4: that first week? 63 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: Yeah? 64 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 4: I went a lot. 65 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: He's been through a lot in his life, I would 66 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: tell you, and the kids kids come through. 67 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 4: How confident were you did you could get the ball 68 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 4: to David and get up to the line and spike 69 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 4: it in enough time? 70 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 2: Well, pretty confident because we've worked it now that's right 71 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: at the cusp. We're going to make it onto a 72 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 2: lot of training tapes this week in the NFL because 73 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: teams are gonna say, can you do that in twelve? 74 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: And it's been done right around there, but you have 75 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 2: to be great. Joe knew it, Dave knew it, the 76 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 2: whole guy, all the guys knew it. So you practice 77 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: those looks typically you say fifteen seconds. I just had 78 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: a lot of confidence in that group to get it done. 79 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 6: Can then how much like what more can you say 80 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 6: about this defense, especially kind of holding things down for 81 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 6: three quarters? I mean, Joe even said last week like 82 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 6: he compared this defense to some of these really really 83 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 6: great Ravens defenses that he played with. 84 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 2: That first, you know, I think our defense is playing 85 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 2: at a high level. And what I love about our 86 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: defense is how we play as much as what we do, 87 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: and you know the schemes we play. Just watch us play. 88 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: Watch our guys come off the ball, watch them run 89 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 2: to the ball, watch them celebrate with each other. That's 90 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: that's that's an infectious group over there. 91 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 7: Talking about Joe, would you say that the fact that 92 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 7: he was without two starting tackles. 93 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 8: Did they have something to do? It was tough sledding 94 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 8: for him. 95 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Obviously, that's a that's a that's a great defense. I'm 96 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: confident in saying that's a great defense. And those two 97 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: edge rushers are outstanding. And then we had injuries early 98 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 2: to you know, our tackles, and we're without Jack going 99 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: to this game, so they made life really hard. Our 100 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: guys battled like crazy. We had to make some adjustments. 101 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,600 Speaker 2: But to be able to to play how we did 102 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: as a football team, I thought was really impressive. 103 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 4: I love the way you guys really did a pretty 104 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 4: good job on Michael Parisons. He didn't she didn't make 105 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 4: a lot of noise. 106 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 2: He was making noise. Jeff, he was around the quarterback. 107 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: He's if he's not getting a sack, I get it, 108 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: but he's pressuring. He's He's a great one. 109 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 7: Especially for your special teams to come through after all 110 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 7: the rows that you guys have had, all the injuries 111 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 7: that you guys have had. 112 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 8: How big was that for everybody? 113 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? That was huge. Really proud of the effort from 114 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: from that group. We want to play well on all 115 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 2: three sides of the ball and to come through with 116 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: a huge block. I think Shelby got it right, which 117 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 2: Shelby has about a thousand of those in his career. 118 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: So Shelby got one. And then to hit that kick 119 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: at the end that that's you know, it's great for 120 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 2: that group. 121 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: Jump starting that. 122 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was awesome. You know, he's a volume runner. 123 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: Knew that he gets better with touches. He gets his 124 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,559 Speaker 2: first touchdown, which I'm excited for him, but he's only 125 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: going to get better. How do you explain. 126 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 8: Shelby somehow find the way to get his hands on 127 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 8: ball the way he does. 128 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 4: He's always been able to. 129 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 2: I mean bats balls on passes, he bats balls on blocks, 130 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: field goals. He's always done it. He has a great 131 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 2: feel for it. I want to say, when I was 132 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: coaching at the Vikings in nineteen, he had an interception 133 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 2: versus us like he's just he's very aware of that 134 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: football and he's got he's just got great anticipation. 135 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 4: How coachable is that versus just sort of innate sense. 136 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: Of it's innate. Yeah, that's that's something that he's been 137 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: blessed with. 138 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 7: That's on the sidelines, that your team would even when 139 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 7: you were down and it seemed almost hopeless to be 140 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 7: able to come back. Did you sense that they had 141 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 7: to resolve I mean, what was their stuff going? 142 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: And we've talked about that, Mary kay, we've talked about 143 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 2: it as a team. We know what these seasons are like. 144 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: We know there's ups and downs that you got to navigate. 145 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: Uh that that's that's the NFL. And our guys have 146 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: confidence in each other that. 147 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: It's onned it next week on the Detroit. But can 148 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 4: this carry some momentum for your players? Yeah? 149 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: Momentum is important, don't get me wrong. And and but 150 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: you have to build off this and I think for us, 151 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 2: we'll trust me. I'll enjoy it, Jeff, don't worry. But 152 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 2: tomorrow we got to move on. Tomorrow. You got to 153 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: watch this tape and find a way to get better, 154 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 2: and then you have to move on. You got a 155 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: big game next week. No point in one interception. 156 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 8: Why did you not consider pull and flock out to 157 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 8: give the team this? 158 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 7: Fine? 159 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just focused and don't want to think is 160 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 2: best for the team. 161 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: Did you any update on on Dewan? 162 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: No update, We're going to MRI. 163 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 4: I gotcha explanation on a on a red play? 164 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 2: Yes, so I think the big thing there is we 165 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: need them to call that a fumble recovery by us. 166 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 2: They did not feel like there was enough video information 167 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: to call the recovery by us, so it's clearly a fumble. 168 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: I need them in the moment to see that it's 169 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: a fumble give us the football, because it's just too 170 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: hard when the ball's in a pile to say definitively 171 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: who comes away with it. It has to be a 172 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: clear recovery anytime it gets in a pile, it's really 173 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: really hard. So I prefer if they see the fumble 174 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 2: on the front end. 175 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: Why the wind it right? Jack off to start the game. 176 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jack was obviously battling. Just felt like that was 177 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: what was best for both Dewand and Cornelias. 178 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 4: And then did chop block? They call when you got 179 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: the goal? 180 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: I didn't see it. Was it a good call? Okay? 181 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 2: I had some people in my ear sand it was 182 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 2: a bad call, but I didn't see it yet. 183 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 4: They just said it was. 184 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: Whose they Yeah, he said it was a good call. 185 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 7: Even though it was a tough game for Joe and 186 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 7: the offense. You're sticking with Joe. 187 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 4: Going for it, Yes, Kim, when you don't score really 188 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 4: moved the ball that great until the last four minutes. Yeah, 189 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 4: what changed? I know they're too quick runs, but which follow. 190 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 2: We get changed? There? The field position? You know, it's 191 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: part of playing complimentary football is setting our offense up 192 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: on short fields by taking it away or making a 193 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: great plan on special teams, and or you get a 194 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: long run like Q a couple of runs, then you're 195 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 2: moving the ball. But I thought just started to play 196 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: a little bit more complimentary. I do you think your 197 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: team can finally kind of just take a breath now 198 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: after winning a game like this, Yeah, listen again, just 199 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: to go back the NFL is you can't ride the 200 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: roller coaster. It's too long of a season. You can't 201 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: ride the ups and downs like that. For us, we 202 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: focus on what's in front of us. I know our 203 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: fans probably ride that roller coaster, and certainly I did 204 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: when I was a young kid, but or a fan, 205 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: I should say, And but for us, it really it 206 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: doesn't serve you well to think about last week or 207 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 2: two weeks ago. It doesn't help us. So we're so 208 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 2: focused in the moment. We put the blinders on and 209 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: worry about what's right in front of us. 210 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 4: And what about Joel being able to play. Unbelievable. 211 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't. I gave Joel a game ball in there. 212 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: He's a He's I can't say enough about him, the 213 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 2: football player of the person. He was battling. He was 214 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: not feeling good, he wasn't walking real well, but he battled. 215 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: And that's Joe Potonio for you. 216 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: When you're watching him work out. Are you saying, no, 217 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 4: he's okay? I know he talked to him. What does 218 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: he kind of say, is you watch in the locker room? 219 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just I'll let him share, probably Scott, but 220 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,319 Speaker 2: he knew he wanted to be out there for his team. 221 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 7: How fun was it for you to see how happy 222 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 7: and excited the fans were the fortieth anniversary of. 223 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 2: The Dog I mean, well, that was awesome for me. 224 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: Just to catch up with Ernest Byner. I didn't see 225 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: Bernie by texted with Bernie. Had Hanford Dixon break the 226 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: team down and just tell the team that the history 227 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: that we have in this place, and we you know, 228 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 2: I get to use the dog mentality so much. It's 229 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 2: really what we we've branded our a lot of what 230 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: we do off of our dog mental and uh, you know, 231 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 2: Coach Schwartz is a great line that hungry dogs run 232 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: faster and all of that is born right out of Hanford, 233 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 2: So unbelievable history there and it was awesome having those 234 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: guys around. 235 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 9: Up next, quarterback Joe Flacco started. 236 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 5: With Andre, I mean two weeks ago, you know, you 237 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 5: talked about you never know when I mean, everybody sort 238 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 5: of goes through moments like he had then. 239 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 4: You know, just the difference in the emotions of the. 240 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: Team around him for getting that opportunity. 241 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like just like you said, we talked 242 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: about it. I mean, today was like a day full 243 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 3: of like situations like that we can talk about forever, 244 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: just like that. And he got his chance like a 245 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 3: couple of times there. Uh, you know, hit hit two 246 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: field goals for us, down the edge, down the end, 247 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 3: an extra point. You never know when you're gonna get 248 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: your chance, and you know you have to be ready 249 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: to respond again, Like I said, I mean, today was 250 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 3: a day completely filled with that type of thing. I 251 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 3: mean you could probably imagine but don't really know because 252 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 3: you haven't experienced it. But when you're running out in 253 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 3: the field, you know, after however many minutes of not 254 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: putting a point on the board board it's hard. You know, 255 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 3: it's hard, and you got to be able to keep 256 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 3: a straight face and somehow keep it together. And you know, 257 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 3: we talked all week about playing complimentary football, and I 258 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: don't think until you experience it you truly understand like 259 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: what that could possibly mean. But today, like I think, 260 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: I feel that we like spoke it into existence today 261 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: and we came out of here with a win because 262 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: of it. 263 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 9: J If, I've been in those situations many times in 264 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 9: your career and you have to get that ball down 265 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 9: and spike it to set up the field goal. 266 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,119 Speaker 4: So just take us through that sequence. 267 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, you know, you go in and you tell everybody, Hey, 268 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: it's we got to get down.

The guys that need to be off 277 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: the bar are going to be off the ball, and 278 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 3: you you give them one last little check and you 279 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 3: spike it and we did it exactly how you would 280 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: want to do it. 281 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 7: So grateful are you that Kevin is giving you know, 282 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 7: you the opportunity to work through some of these early 283 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 7: growing pains of the offense. Now Quinchawn's coming through a 284 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 7: little bit. Kevin said, he's you know, sticking with you 285 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,720 Speaker 7: going forward, even though this was kind of tough sledding 286 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 7: today in or you're about two tackles and stuff. But 287 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 7: as you guys are growing together, how grateful are you 288 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 7: that you get to keep going and maybe see the 289 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 7: vision here? 290 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: What this? 291 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that's what it's all about. You know, 292 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 3: I talked about it. It's hard, it's hard to do 293 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: to go out there and play in games like today 294 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 3: and you know, keep it together. But that's what football 295 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 3: is sometimes. And I mean we have talked about it, 296 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: the type of defense that we have and just going 297 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: out there and you know, capital on turnovers and not 298 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 3: making mistakes yourself. And you know, it wasn't pretty today 299 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: and there were you know, it was tough. There was 300 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 3: times where there probably were guys down the field that 301 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 3: were open and it's just I didn't make it happen. 302 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: And you feel for the group as a whole. I mean, 303 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 3: everybody wants to go out there and perform and put 304 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: up numbers, points, yards, all that stuff. And part of 305 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 3: your job as a quarterback is to get that done. 306 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: But also your job is to win a football game 307 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 3: and and and just play your role in whatever that 308 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: may be. And I think today, as tough as it 309 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: can be, we won a football game, and it was hard. 310 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 3: It's hard when you're in your own stadium and you 311 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 3: can't put points on the board and everybody feels it 312 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 3: and you feel it, but you got to keep going 313 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: out there and doing your job and having faith that 314 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 3: you know something's gonna happen and we're gonna get it done. 315 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 4: Why do you think it was so hard for fifty 316 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 4: five minutes or. 317 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 2: Whatever it was. 318 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: Well, they're good. We're not quite where we want to be, 319 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 3: and they're good team. 320 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 4: So when you see. 321 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 7: When shown breaking off those two runs like that and 322 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 7: you know, plowing in for the touchdowns, so you could 323 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 7: take it. 324 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 3: You could take a deep breath. You know, it's nice 325 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 3: when you hand the ball off and you see a 326 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 3: little you see something split kind of as you're turning 327 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: around and he's taken off down the field. Uh So, 328 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 3: you know, I think it's a testament to our O 329 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: line for springing him on one and great job by 330 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 3: him for hitting it and getting as much as he 331 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: could with him. He's a good player, man, and he's 332 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 3: got a good head on his shoulders. That's the biggest thing. 333 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: You know. 334 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: He wants to do it the right way. And you 335 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 3: know he's he's fully bought in. Uh so, so you 336 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: know he's got a good future. 337 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 5: No play on that drive was Harold that third down 338 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 5: where he was able to kind of shake out of 339 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 5: the out of the tackle pick up the first down. 340 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 3: Just just you've seen it all, you know, all year. 341 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 3: I think in the three we've only played three games, 342 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: and how many times have we seen his ability to 343 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 3: just break out of tackle. It's pretty crazy, right. Yeah, 344 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 3: he's strong, he's strong. I mean he's big, but I 345 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: think he he's just so strong and put together.

I don't know if we 348 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 3: realized how quite how hard he was going to be 349 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 3: to tackle. But man, does he do a good job 350 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 3: at the ball in his hands. 351 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 4: What are you I mean, I know you've done Discoverer, 352 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 4: but what are your emotions like when Grant gets a 353 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 4: pick and all of a sudden the ball's at the 354 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 4: four yard line and then show Me gets the blackfield. 355 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 4: But when it looks like you're gonna be down. 356 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 3: With twenty seconds off, Yeah, just like, just do your 357 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: job like you've done. You've you've it's been hard, but 358 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 3: you've stuck to it all day and just done the 359 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 3: simple things. Done your job each play. Continue to do 360 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: that and have faith that everything else is going to 361 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 3: take care of yourself and we're going to get an opportunity. 362 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 3: And that's what happened last week. 363 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 6: You kind of evoked some really really good defenses when 364 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 6: you talked about. 365 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 4: Your time and yeah, yeah. 366 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 2: Like what more can you say about about this defense today?

I don't know how many, you know, games 369 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 3: like that I can deal with. But I mean, guys, 370 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: I don't think anything needs to be said about it. 371 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 3: Look how they played. I mean, it was unbelievable. Every 372 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 3: time you looked up, it seemed like they had Jordan 373 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 3: on the ground and that that that's a good running 374 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 3: team and they kind of they hit it. You know, 375 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 3: they got they were able to control the clock here 376 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 3: and there, but you know, we also weren't able to 377 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 3: do what we wanted to do on offense to kind 378 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: of move the chains. They're they're they're really good. 379 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 7: Were you from the fact that you didn't press this game, 380 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 7: that you didn't force it, and that you stayed playing 381 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 7: within yourself. 382 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: Even though listen, I mean if we yeah, I am, 383 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: but you know, yes, that's like, that's what we have 384 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: to do right now. And listen, we could have very 385 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: easily not won this game, and we and to be 386 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 3: a different story, but but I'd still be feeling a 387 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 3: similar way in terms of just doing my job and 388 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 3: it it may not look pretty, and you know, it's 389 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 3: it could be tough, but you know, you gotta kind 390 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 3: of rely on the team that we are right now 391 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 3: to kind of come through with what we did today. 392 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 3: And you know, I've seen crazier things, but this was 393 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 3: definitely one of those hard fought, crazy wins. 394 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 4: Can you talking about the passing the joke on the 395 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 4: final drive? Just pretty gutsy call with that no sign 396 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 4: what that would want the side of the game. 397 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, we practice that all the time too. You know, 398 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 3: we run all slants and Dave's a big guy.

It was one on 401 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 3: one man coverage. Dave's big, so I wanted to give 402 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 3: him the opportunity. I didn't have to worry about it 403 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 3: getting blocked at the line or anything like that. And 404 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 3: I knew he would get a little bit of a 405 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: position on the guy and and get as much as 406 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 3: he can before having to go down. I mean, we 407 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: you have to go down quick in that in that instance, 408 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 3: So that the that's the call that we kind of 409 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: go with, and we have you know, faith and Kevin 410 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 3: calling it and our guy's running it and now it's 411 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 3: just about you know, getting up to the line and 412 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: spiking it. 413 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 4: So when you're talking last week about the recipe and 414 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 4: the defense is playing so well, this is why you 415 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 4: envision just maybe not as hard like I. 416 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 3: I've been here, man, I've been through these games and 417 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 3: through these types of wins.
