It is Wednesday, 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.840 September thirteenth. The Ravens are preparing for a Week two 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.760 divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. A Head coach John 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.880 Harball met with the media after practice to look ahead 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:16.680 to that game. 0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.080 We don't have JK. That's disappointing. 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.119 You know, he's a great player, he's a great guy, 0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:25.400 and you know, obviously anytime you have a player like 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.040 that in your roster, that's a big deal. You know, 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:31.640 he's an explosive, explosive athlete, ball carrier, receiver. But I'm 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:33.520 very confident the guys we have stepping in there as well. 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:35.920 We have very good players stepping in and they're excited 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:36.760 for their opportunity. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:40.879 I think with the switch of coordinators there was some 0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.280 question as to Patrick Riccard what his role would be 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:45.919 in their offense. You guys used him. 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:47.800 I think on twenty year snaps. 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.080 What does he represent for this team? And why do 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.320 you think you able to find fits? You know, it's 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.800 obviously moving in a different direction than the season past. 0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:58.280 Yeah, I mean he's a good football player and you 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.440 have a good football player on your team. Them want 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:00.880 to use him. 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:02.760 You know, so how many plays it is from week 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.679 to week, I think that'll be it won't be like 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.920 the same, It'll be whatever it is that week, based 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.200 on whatever's that going on. But he's a good football player. 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:11.759 He brings what he brings. You know what he brings. 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.600 I mean you see it every day when you watch 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.720 him play, right, and it's it's it's effective, it's it's 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.480 it's a meaningful, meaningful reps when he's out there doing 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:21.480 what he does well. So I'm very happy we have 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:22.920 my our team John. 0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.640 I think in training cap he was noticeable that now 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:28.600 how many think he's a little more vote He said 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.200 he was more comfortable communicating. 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:32.520 How much do you have to lean on him now 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:33.560 with Marcus. 0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:35.959 Potentially missing some time and just how much does it 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.160 help that he's kind of taken more of that communications. 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.039 Leadership roles, right. I mean, he's had a great camp. 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.760 He's done everything that he's been asked to do in 0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.680 different roles, you know, position wise, moving around. He's still 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.360 capable of doing that. We still have all those options 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.280 at our disposal with the guys are putting out there, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.240 and yeah, I'm sure he'll be very vocal, but he 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:57.560 was before, you know. Uh so that's what that's the 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.080 way we're roll. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.760 He coached him as eight flowers, and he looked like 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.559 he was being the leaf for a long time. 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.640 He's always his vision of being always hunger and hungered. 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.440 For the game. How good is it this for he's 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.839 developed as a as a play well. 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:14.280 I mean, you know, he's chomping at the bit to 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.760 get out there and the show what he can do. 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.400 He made the big catch over the middle into the 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.359 red zone. I had, you know, a lot of really 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.960 good blocks. He was He's running routes fast. I was 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.120 happy for him, you know. So he's just gonna build 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.079 off of that, and he's gonna have a lot of 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.320 great days in front of him. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:33.400 A challenge against the biggest offense that I mean a 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.400 lot of students didn't yeah. 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.720 Cheese, Yeah. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.720 And we're very familiar with their their talent. I mean, 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.680 they've had it. They've a very talented offense. Obviously got 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.160 a great back, got a great quarterback. Uh you know, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.920 so we played him a lot, they played us a lot. 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.280 We're very familiar with one another. 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.120 I mean, they obviously did not play up to their 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:54.639 standards in their opener against Cleveland. 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.040 I mean, do you just I mean, do you. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.840 Throw that out to some agree and assume that they'll 0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.440 be the team that US did in the past years, 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:01.440 or how do you treat that first getting Yeah. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.320 Just we're playing, We're playing.

It's 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:06.560 gonna be played this week, not the one that was 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.160 played last week by either team. Same thing goes for us. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.560 I mean, you never stay the same, So we're getting 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.280 ready for next week. I'm sure they're doing the same. 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.440 Tell you mentioned after the game about the pass rush 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:18.880 that you know, it was a lot to talk about 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.360 before seeing, but I I'm assuming you would please with what 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.800 you saw Sunday. Can you talk about I guess what 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.600 you saw and you know, moving forward? 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.959 Uh yeah, I mean I saw exactly what I told 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.800 you we would see, you know, and then those guys 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.000 were bringing it. So it was exciting and fun and uh, 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:34.400 you know, we've got we got a new challenge in 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.400 front of us this week, and and uh you know, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.120 we got to get better. Those guys are determined to 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:43.120 keep getting better. And uh, you know, obviously pass rush pressure, sacks, hurries, 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.840 batted balls, those are very important, you know, aspects of 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.840 pass defense to the National Football League. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.600 So I like the way they played. We got to 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.400 get better, keep getting better. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:04:02.920 Respect from the bank, and so to challenge respective u. 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:13.880 S teach just start jobs. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:18.799 Yeah, I mean the challenge is the guys. 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.120 You know, that's that is football, and uh that's why 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.360 guys as we as we spoke about last week are 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:27.120 on the roster. You know, they're they're starting caliber players 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.680 or they wouldn't be, you know, in the league the 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.599 way I look at it, especially on this team. So 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.880 those guys are, uh, those guys are ready to roll, man, 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.279 and they're gonna go out there and play.

Seven year players. 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.560 Yeah, I mean, you know, they're playing the same defense 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.680 they filled. They're filling the roles that that have been 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.640 built into the defense. They did a nice job doing that. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:07.440 You know. 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:07.880 Obviously. 0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.640 Uh, the Hill kid, we got a little a little 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.080 knowledge of he's kind of kind of we're familiar with 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:14.840 the family there.

It's early on this season, but 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:15.560 it's a big game and we're gonna treat. 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:15.680 It like that. 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.400 That was running back Gus Edwards. Another key player who 0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:25.560 is gonna have to step up is safety Kyle Hamilton. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.600 Next to him, Marcus Williams went down with a peck 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.440 injury in the season opener. He's gonna be out for 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.000 the foreseeable future, So that means that there's gonna be 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.640 a lot of pressure on the second year safety Kyle 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.720
