The Ravens are 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.520 getting ready for a divisional matchup coming up on Sunday 0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.840 against the Cleveland Browns, and today we had a chance 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:12.680 to talk with head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.439 Appreciate you being here in this beautiful day. Another great 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:20.360 day for football. Every day is a great day for football. 0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:24.240 Very excited about the upcoming challenge. Division rival, very very 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.720 good football team. We know what kind of games these 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.720 are in our division. And then we're excited to be 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.080 at home. You know, we've got we got a chance 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:33.559 to play in front of our fans and in a 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:35.720 real big game. I know they're going to be really 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.000 into it. I know they're going to be loud. I 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.200 know they're going to disrupt the huddle and the communication 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:41.800 for the Browns by being just as loud as they 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.720 can be. Not just when the ball gets snapped, but 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.199 you know, between plays. I want to encourage that to 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.959 our fans. So we're looking forward to it, we all are, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.800 and but we understand the challenge that is in front 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:52.120 of us. 0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.480 Okay, what question do you have if you think the crowd. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:55.120 Was responsive for that? 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:58.360 Genoebeck Excuse me, I mean the crowd was responsible for 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.960 that Gene Hopeck communication here. 0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:05.600 Oh yeah, yeah, you know what, that's probably probably had 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.119 a lot to do with it. Actually, you know, they 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.839 had a miscommunication. They might have been checking a play 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:11.920 there or a route and they didn't They certainly didn't 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.240 get it. So that's a very good chance of that happened. 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:19.040 Thank you. That's right. Appreciate that. Good shout, John. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.440 Obviously, the Browns defense, I think the huge arts loud 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.080 right now this year when you're watching film though, what 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.399 kind of impressures you the most about that defense? 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:30.440 Very very very aggressive, I mean very attack orient They're 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.720 kind of they're kind of a mindset of a puncher, 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:35.800 you know. They come out swinging downhill in every at 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:37.920 every level of tight coverage all the way up to 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:42.119 the linebackers downhill versus run defensive line upfield. That's kind 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.039 of their their way. 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:43.920 Uh. 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:46.319 They understand who they are and they played very well, 0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.280 very hard. 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:49.800 On the ground. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.760 Step one of the lowest third down seases. 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.800 Them out on the defense. What do you think, what. 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.520 Do you say, would you watch the tape on there? 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.840 Just that makes it so hard to get first down. 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.520 Right, I mean, I don't think it's any secret. You know, 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.360 they're just really good. You know, they can rush the 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:06.240 passer and they can cover. That's that's kind of the 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.160 combination on third down. Plus you'll find out you'll see 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:10.839 that during third they have third and long a lot. 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.760 You know, they get into they get people into third 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.320 and long a ton because they're so successful on first 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:16.680 and second down as well. So it kind of all 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:17.440 goes together. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:18.919 Trying. 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.240 I know you expected to see Deshaun Watson last time 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.840 and then he didn't play, But you've studied him, your 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.520 prayer for him. What impresses you about him at this 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:27.520 point in his career. 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:29.240 Right, Well, I mean, just Sean's a playmaker. You know, 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.800 that's the thing he's gonna He's gonna do it on 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.840 time with the rhythm passing quick game he can do 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.760 with the play action the boots and the and the 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.639 and the drop and the play action stuff off of 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.040 their own run game. And then he can do it 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.040 start as far as extending the play, uh, both as 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:45.680 far as running and then also I think he does 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.320 a really good job on the run to find receivers 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.440 when he's moving out of the pockets. So, uh, playmaking quarterback. 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.160 You're playing Division teams, especially for the second time. How 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:59.000 much do you take from what work the first time 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:00.440 you play those teams? 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:02.720 Well, you do, You do take a lot of that, 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:04.520 and you try to you kind of try to extrapolate 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.799 a little bit about what their answer might be and 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:08.800 what you're gonna need to do to counter that. I mean, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.880 it's kind of a guessing game there. But you don't 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.000 want to, you know, stop the play for them. You know, 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.320 you want to make sure that you test them a 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.040 little bit, and I'm sure they'll test us and make 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.040 sure that we can defend only the plays that were 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.440 successful against us the last time, but the ones that 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:22.959 have been successful by other teams too. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.959 They have opinion great to make your time last a week, 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.160 I believe che and fair. Now, you know, it's kind 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.200 of paying the media chatter that oh, he's gonna give 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:34.079 them secrets and that. 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.080 How much did you think about that and talk about that? 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.600 Is that a factor when it comes to players that 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:42.000 recently win beIN with. 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:46.840 You guys, No, I mean it's it's you're changing from 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:48.400 week to week so much in terms of the plays 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.280 that you actually run and the way you run them. 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.000 And then anytime any kind of like code words or 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.040 signals or anything like that, that you're always protecting those, 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:58.120 you're always changing them so that I don't think that's 0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.440 gonna be an issue one way or the other. 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.480 Job you made your value at organizationally just being unpredictable 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:13.000 for moments that you consulate involving aspect how meet to 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.560 this point of the season, how do you think Todd 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.840 has gone out of the all kinds to keep an 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.560 Opponents of bounce us to play calls me? You know, 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.400 for example, this last week you saw him called for 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.320 runs and a lot more at early downs. Is that's 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.120 something that you've seen and maybe police with everybody? 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.120 Absolutely. I mean there's there's a there's a lot of 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.800 layers to that, you know, and I think sometimes we 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.200 look at it and you can it's easy to look 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.800 at like pick out one one factor or another, whether 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.600 it's like you say, early down, how many times you run, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.640 how many times you're passing? But there are so many 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.200 layers into that that people are studying so much information 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:46.560 that we get who's on the field, where they're lined up, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.480 what the motions look like, Uh you know, what what 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.240 call was made before that? In terms of sequencing of calls. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.200 We really do study coaches at this level study all 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.760 those things. So it's very nuanced in terms of keeping 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.280 people off balance. Do you think Todd's done a good 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:04.159 job of that? And Uh, but the bottom line really 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.120 is execution. It's all said, all this stuff really is important, 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.360 but really the most important thing is that you execute 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:09.920 the play as well. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.040 John, We've seen Lamar be very efficient so far. 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.040 Two plays, a two paths. 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:18.560 I think you want to have back or maybe to 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.520 rashat the deep ones a couple of deep ones. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:21.479 Do you think maybe the. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.440 Consistency of the deep throws its guys, that may be 0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:25.760 the kind of the next step that you guys are 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.599 trying to achieve. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.720 That Yeah, I mean you know it's uh those when 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.440 we hit those plays and games, it's gonna be it's 0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:31.840 gonna be great. I mean that's a big it's a 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.200 difference maker, I'm sure, and we chase that all the time, 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.919 but we were hit them in practice. Uh regularly, Sometimes 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:39.920 things come up. I think sometimes you make a decision 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:43.560 maybe just to throw it away. Other times, Uh, you know, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.280 it might be a step or two further than you 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.640 want or shorter than you want it. But all in all, 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.640 I'm very confident in our deep passing game, and I'm 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.320 very I'm very certain that we're gonna make those plays 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:53.039 in the coming weeks. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.400 Leader Mob in particular open the pretty big hole of 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.040 Mitchell and is a touchdown run is that? 0:05:58.279 --> 0:05:59.840 You know what have you seen them handing the year two? 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.120 How much is he adding in terms of rud block 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:02.640 into the line? 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.160 No question, Well, he adds a lot. I mean, he's 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.160 a he's a great run blocker. I think he's a 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.320 I think he's an excellent pass blocker as well. But 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:11.920 he's he's a guy that can really sustain a block. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.160 I mean, when it really comes right down to it, 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.200 he can. He can get into a fit very quickly. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.720 He's just an explosive athlete, and then he can sustain. Really, 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.720 that's the bottom line with blocking. He does it really well. 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.000 John Lamar's done so so much so well this year. 0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:27.039 But there have been a couple of mesh points problems 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.040 with Justice Hill. What's happening there and how do you 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:30.520 fix it? 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.640 Well, you fix it by just consistency in terms of 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.640 the angles and the mesh you know. 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:36.000 Fit. 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.480 So something came up in that last game that that 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.600 kind of altered the spacing between the quarterback and the 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.640 running back there that you know just kind of happened, 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:48.800 and you got to judge keep working through it. So 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.440 we're not happy about that at all. I think that's 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:52.840 probably the main thing, you know, for us right now, 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:54.680 to make sure we clean up all those things and 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:55.719 keep the ball off the ground. 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.880 That was head coach John harry Ball. We also talked 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:04.640 with center Tyler Linderbob, he's having a great season. Here's 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:05.400 what he had to say. 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.280 Well, I mean when you get to get that running 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:13.559 game going in a game, I know you're not counting 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.560 the yards it's happening, but I mean as an offensive line, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:19.200 do you kind of feel kind of the taking over 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.120 in a game like that when these rushing yards keep 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:21.600 falling up? 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:23.960 Yeah, I think as an alignment, that's your dream to 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.480 get the run game going. You know, certainly every game 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.320 we're trying to, you know, be effective in the run 0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:30.480 game because that opens up a lot of other things. 0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:33.440 But you know, especially talking. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.160 About last game, you know, it was, you know, it's 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.640 kind of slow early, just stay with it, stay at it, 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.440 and running back started hitting those holes and you know, 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:48.040 so saw saw things start to get moving, we're. 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:49.800 Teler reach, you're seeing different elements. How much where did 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.360 you think this offense still has to run? 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:52.920 Yeah? 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:53.320 A lot. 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.000 You know, there's still a lot of things each and 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:57.920 every game on tape that you know we can improve on, 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.920 you know, and certainly just being that almost to the 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:06.200 halfway point, you know, we're doing a lot of good things, 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:07.600 but also things that when you get better at. 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:08.000 Uh. 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:10.960 And you know, I think we've got a good group 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:13.440 of guys that know that and want to improve, you know, 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:18.360 aren't aren't content with what what where we're at right now. 0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:20.600 So that's always good when we have a good group 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:21.080 of guys like that. 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.600 Tell her, Uh, the left guard position was a competition 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.360 at the beginning of the season. John Simpson won it. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.160 And if you played next to him for the next 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.520 nine weeks. Just what's been like working next to him 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.679 and and how have you seen him perform just over 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:36.480 the course of the season. 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.719 Yeah, John's been awesome. You know, He's definitely deserved the 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:43.120 starting job. Just coming in here every day, working his 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.720 tail off. I'm gonna just thing with him, just gaining 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.520 confidence each and every week. Uh, you know, he practices hard, 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.480 goes out there and performs on game day. So you 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.360 know we're looking at teammates. That's what that's what you 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:54.240 want to have your teammate. 0:08:55.040 --> 0:08:58.120 You got for that play on the sixty yard run 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.240 by Keith Mitchell, take out one guy, run down field, 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.480 take out two more guys twenty five yards downfield. What's 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.280 your mentality on that play where you look ahead of you, 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:07.880 the run still going and you you're trying to get 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.959 downfield in that play. 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.280 Just trying to be explosive, trying to make those explosive 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.640 plays happening. You know, if you look on the on 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.080 the tape and on the film, you know, all everyone's 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.160 doing their job. Everyone's you know, finding someone to block. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:21.360 I'm just trying to do my part, and so are 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:22.680 other ten guys on the team. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.559 Tyler, when you talk about being explosive, a lot of 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:27.679 the time when Nets mentioned it's about positions, you know, 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.480 skill players, wide receivers, running backs. Does that also go 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:32.439 to the offensive line that you guys also want to 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:33.199 be explosive. 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:34.520 Yeah, for sure. 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:36.080 You know, we got to block the guys in front 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.520 of us, you know, and then block guys in front 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.400 of us were to next level and then you know 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.640 we have you know, awesome skill position guys here that 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.559 can make a lot of things happen. So we do 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:46.760 our job, they do their jobs, a lot of good 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:47.360 things can happen. 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.440 So you're in little three games home stretch here. How 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.480 beneficial is to be playing at home in front of 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:53.480 your crowd. 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:54.800 Yeah, it's been awesome. 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.320 You know, our fans especially, you know, this past last 0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:58.880 game was awesome. You know, the more fans we can 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.200 get out there are, the better. You know, we really 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:05.160 lean on them, and they've been tremendous and you know 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.000 this this whole you know, this next two game stretch, 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.640 you know we can get more fans out there as well, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.760 because you know, when they're rolling, we're rolling. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.080 So it's good to have him out there. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.199 Brown goes without saying how special player Miles Garrett is, 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.160 but knowing that he can move arounds and I mean 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:22.040 just how much discussion is there among the offensive line, 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:23.320 but just knowing where. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.360 He is, I'll never see the plane. Yeah, he's definitely 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.520 a guy that you got to know where he's at. 0:10:26.760 --> 0:10:26.880 Uh. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:28.760 You know, one of the best d ends in the league, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.480 one of the best defenders in the league. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:31.760 Uh. 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:36.080 And the tape speech speaks for itself. You know, he's 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.520 he's a guy that has all the tools. You know, 0:10:39.679 --> 0:10:41.760 just his size, strength and speed. You know, it definitely 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.120 makes it makes it challenging. So you know it's someone 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.880 you you definitely know have to know who who and 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.599 where he's at. But you know that starts with the 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.040 game plan, starts with this week and just trusting our 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.120 fundamentals and technique and to get the job done. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.079 The miner's passion ten story down, he was saying, he 0:10:58.200 --> 0:10:59.800 is there's in the offensive plays. 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.439 From your standpoint, you feel like differences are defending differently 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.880 since he's working most where they're still restarting. 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.679 Yeah, I mean, you know you got to defend his legs, right, 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.120 he's one of the most electrifying players in the league. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.959 But also he can throw the hell hell out of 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.880 the ball. So you know, he's done a tremendous job. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.679 And you know, like Lamar said, you know, we got 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:22.960 a lot of good weapons that can get the ball. 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:26.640 So but when the times that he had to run, 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:28.360 he can run. When he needs a throw, he can throw. 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:30.160 When you get a new coordinator, I. 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:31.959 Mean, people obviously focus on what that means for the 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:32.840 quarterback through. 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:33.920 The wide receivers, et cetera, et cetera. 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.400 But much lardy, Kurt, would you say there's. 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.959 Been for the offensive line with the function you know 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.080 of course of this. Yeah, I mean. 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.679 I still think you know, starting having ot as with 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:49.880 Coach Monk was huge, you know, just getting familiar with, 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.120 you know, maybe our philosophy and in how we want 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.800 to be as a unit, understanding the communication, and I 0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.920 think he's been tremendous just trying to get everyone on 0:11:59.920 --> 0:12:03.079 the same page. And he always preaches over communicate. He'd 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.959 rather over communicate than under communicate. So, you know, just 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.000 creating our identity OTAs into fall camp, you know, finding 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.640 ourselves has been huge. And then you know we're still 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:14.920 creating that identity as the season goes, you know, still 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:19.559 finding stuff to improve on. But I still think we're 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:20.360 doing a lot of good things. 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.480 Does your jump feel much different under him than it 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:23.360 did under greg Or? 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:25.839 No? 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:28.600 I think, you know, it's it's it's about the same 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:31.240 also too. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:32.720 You know, it's just at the end of the day, 0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.920 wherever you go, you know, communication has to be important 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.319 for the limp position, So as long as everyone's on 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.839 the same page, you know, five guys doing the same thing, 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.079 you know, including tight ends and quarterback knows what's going on. 0:12:42.520 --> 0:12:44.280 You put yourself in a successful situation. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:48.439 Justin Mettapeak is having a great year on the d line. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:51.839 How what have you seen from him in practice? And 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.240 have you guys ever gone at it full speed? 0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:58.320 Yeah, I mean shop Beeks was a problem in camp OTAs. 0:12:58.400 --> 0:12:59.880 He's been a problem for us all lying for a 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.960 while now. So we've all seen the issues that he's caused, 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:07.240 the havoc havoc that he's caused in games, and we've 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.280 gone against that in practice. So what he's doing right now, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:13.079 it's not a surprise to any of us because that's 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.240 just the type of player he is. I mean, shoot, 0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:17.360 you watch him in practice that he's going the same speed, 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:19.640 so you no credit to him, and that's why he's 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:20.280 so successful. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:22.600 On Sundays. You see the. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:27.800 Defensive pressure packages and practice every day. How different are 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.720 they from what you see from a typical defense the NFL. 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.040 Yeah, they certainly, cause, uh you know, there's a lot 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:38.839 of different fronts that you can see for them, and 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:40.839 they come at you in a lot of different ways, 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:43.920 and it can it can be challenging, you know, They 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:45.679 and that's it, and it helps us, you know, when 0:13:45.720 --> 0:13:47.480 we can see that in No TAC, that in fall camp. 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:51.120 So and I'm not sure if there's other defense around 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.520 the league that shows multiple looks like they do, so 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.199 it definitely helps us get ready for the season and 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.520 it can be challenging for offenses to prepare for. 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.120 That was center Tyler Lennarbaum. If you want to hear 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:08.080 more from Lindy, check out his appearance on the Lounge 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.439 podcast that's dropping Thursday morning.

I think you would really enjoy that conversation, 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.080 So check that out on the Lounge podcast feed. And 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.320 also in addition to Tyler Linnterbaum, of course, quarterback Lamar 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.280 Jackson talked with the media today and here's what he 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:31.760 had to say. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.720 Number One in completion percentage as far as you know, 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.120 accuracy thing, what do you think has been the difference 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.360 for you? I mean you've always been in the sixty percent, 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.320 but now over sevens pric what do you think has 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:46.600 been the big difference this. 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:48.120 Year for you to get that up there. 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.960 What if I'll have an answer? Oh no, it just 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:57.080 Harvard dedication. Going out there and just compete my tail off. 0:14:57.960 --> 0:15:00.760 That's all, not even really to change, just a percentage 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:01.240 of anything. 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.440 I don't know that's. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.280 Something you ever look at it? Like do you ever 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.360 look at those staffs or that kind of stuff where 0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:10.400 you are and that kind of thing. 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.720 Nah, to be honest with you know, probably after the 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.440 game if they tell me about it. But I'm not 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:17.040 just gonna go and look and see what I did. 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.720 I'm tryna win. I don't really care about the stats. 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:21.080 Who are Uh? 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.000 This year first year with t Martin at your quarterbacks coach? 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:24.240 Uh? 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.800 Did can you talk about how he has helped you 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.800 develop and what he is like kind of behind the 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.040 scenes and meeting rooms and things like that. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:31.920 Uh? 0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:35.640 Just he want us to be perfect, me, Josh snoop. 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.240 He want us to be perfect. And every morning he 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.920 got something like a championship quarterback and what you you 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.560 being a championship quarterback? And he always tell me like, 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:46.440 i'm'a grade you harder than you know probably anybody else will. 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:48.400 And I'm cool with that, you know, cause I'm hard 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.720 on myself and I I know, I wanna be great 0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:53.120 and so is he. So so does he you know, 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.000 as our coach, he want all of us to be great. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.080 And that's pretty much it. 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.560 Obviously he played the game and he's kind of troubles 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.160 or in his own right. See, somebody that you admired 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:03.040 with is a if a player, the person the way 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:04.800 that we you know, the way he can have to 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:06.560 do based up his experience as a player as well. 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:06.880 Yeah. 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.600 Absolutely, Like you said, his experience being able to play 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.000 at this level, being a UH national champion in college. 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:16.600 That's that's crazy, Labar. 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.320 You've been talking about consistency. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:19.800 You guys have won four in a row. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.640 From your perspective, what's been working so well? I g 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:29.040 I believe our whole teams just locked in every phase, 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:33.120 especially teams, defense, offense. Each and every week, I believe 0:16:33.120 --> 0:16:36.320
