Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: In the Ravens press pass today, we heard from head
Speaker 2: coach John Harbaugh and rookie cornerback Nate Wiggins as the
Speaker 2: Ravens put the finishing touches on their preparations for the
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. First up, yours, harps, All.
Speaker 1: Right, good seeing everybody. Appreciate everybody being here. Well, questions
Speaker 1: you have? That was Thanksgiving? That was my Thanksgiving? That's
Speaker 1: a nice question. It was outstanding. It was awesome. Got
Speaker 1: home about mid afternoon and the dinner was almost ready,
Speaker 1: and you know, and and football was on. You know
Speaker 1: what's better it is? It's my personally, it's my favorite holiday.
Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about Thanksgiving? Where do you rank?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 1: A lot of agreement here because you don't need obligations
Speaker 1: other than you got to get them, all right, and
Speaker 1: just enjoy one of those companies, right. You have no
Speaker 1: presents to buy, you know, Thursday. I don't know. It's
Speaker 1: a great, great holidays. There are dishes, did you and
Speaker 1: you did mine too? Do the dishes right? Yeah? Do
Speaker 1: the dishes? Do you have? Do you have a dog?
Speaker 1: If you have a dog, you gotta take the dog out.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. Dishes and dog, right, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: dog could take care of the dishes. It works. Oh
Speaker 1: that's good. Well, I guess we're good here. Huh.
Speaker 3: We saw van Ney had to sack late in the
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, I think one one snap and one in
Speaker 3: the last five.
Speaker 1: How's he progressing?
Speaker 3: We didn't see now with that practice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't practice this week, kind of working through
Speaker 1: a thing or two. Uh, not major stuff, but stuff
Speaker 1: that'll be touch and go up until Sunday, So we'll
Speaker 1: see where he's at.
Speaker 3: Can you say whether you guys expect cool or to
Speaker 3: go on?
Speaker 2: I R or is that not really?
Speaker 1: I probably really can't say that right now. Well, No,
Speaker 1: we have the bye week next week, and I think
Speaker 1: Eric and Adrian and doctor tuckerrow go through that probably
Speaker 1: next few days. That'll be a decision.
Speaker 3: Consider earlier in the week, like the Piers set a
Speaker 3: chance maybe a need update on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael person to practice today, so we'll see where
Speaker 1: he's at. I think that's something in terms of how
Speaker 1: he's feeling. You know, we're going up against the big,
Speaker 1: physical offensive line, so you want he'd be he'd be
Speaker 1: a great addition, but he's got to be at his
Speaker 1: best too, you know. He's got to feel that.
Speaker 3: Does the fact that you have to buy on the
Speaker 3: other side of this play into a lot of those
Speaker 3: Does a guy player not calculations because maybe you say
Speaker 3: I've given give him full two weeks.
Speaker 1: Off it can help put an injury?
Speaker 3: I mean, does that play into everything?
Speaker 1: I think it's probably part of it, minor part of it,
Speaker 1: but definitely a consideration.
Speaker 3: Sure, what have you see from Roquon and his progress?
Speaker 3: He's obviously trying to continue together with that play after
Speaker 3: week and how we feel this week?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, full practice, So again same kind of I think,
Speaker 1: same kind of conversation. You got to get there and
Speaker 1: see how guys are feeling. The wady to go being
Speaker 1: out arose.
Speaker 3: Which you have had to shuffle some guys. Chrisport, someone
Speaker 3: who's played a good bit the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 3: What does he took in some of those sub packages
Speaker 3: where maybe you have turned.
Speaker 1: Down a little bit. Yeah, yeah, he's a underrated guy.
Speaker 1: You know, Chris, Chris are a really good football player,
Speaker 1: and on the passing down stuff, he's really got a
Speaker 1: knack his own coverage. He's a good man, he's a
Speaker 1: good blitzer, so he definitely brings something to the table. Heck,
Speaker 1: maybe we should have had him out there a little
Speaker 1: sooner this season, you know, but he's he's done. He
Speaker 1: did a really good job last week.
Speaker 3: John. Their numbers rushing the football over the last seven
Speaker 3: games are our lead the league. Is there any adjustments
Speaker 3: that they've made in terms of a different way they're
Speaker 3: approaching their running game than they were earlier this season?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really couldn't say. It'd probably be a good
Speaker 1: better question for them. We're just kind of taking them
Speaker 1: as we find him, you know right now what they're
Speaker 1: doing now, trying to do the best we can to
Speaker 1: stop it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lamar's talked about like so start time off, thanks,
Speaker 3: and he wanted to get off through the best they've
Speaker 3: started to think at forty six and the last seven,
Speaker 3: you guys have forded that's good or not? Yeah, I
Speaker 3: think that's the only thing. But what do you guys
Speaker 3: need to do to kind of speed things up?
Speaker 1: I guess yeah. I mean it just comes down to the
Speaker 1: execution and not putting yourself behind the eight ball, you know,
Speaker 1: and just try to stay ahead of the sticks, extend
Speaker 1: some drives and see if we can score. And we
Speaker 1: really haven't done that to start game very well last
Speaker 1: few games.
Speaker 2: Next we heard from rookie cornerback Nate Wiggins he's taking
Speaker 2: on a bear role in the secondary. In recent weeks,
Speaker 2: anything kind of that you felt has gotten easier as
Speaker 2: the years going on.
Speaker 4: Just really just uh, I just started my game. I
Speaker 4: feel like more players. I get more content with my
Speaker 4: band been in the NFL, and I just feel like, uh,
Speaker 4: more players that I get easier to get to me.
Speaker 3: So the last two weeks the secondary has really kind
Speaker 3: of stepped it up. Do you feel like this is
Speaker 3: kind of like a turning point for the UNI right now?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are. We alreadyknew, uh we had to like
Speaker 4: a great unit. Uh we wasn't playing enough to uh
Speaker 4: uh the stepping so but I knew we had to.
Speaker 2: Get it together.
Speaker 4: Uh and yeah, you.
Speaker 3: Come make a lot of talk with the vegles out say.
Speaker 2: Out run game.
Speaker 3: But those receivers got with a secret.
Speaker 4: That more shy what I'm saying that, Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 4: uh they got good uh good receivers too. Uh mean
Speaker 4: they they oh they show up on of film. So
Speaker 4: we we all hard nobody to running game.
Speaker 3: But we have to start the past union too soon?
Speaker 3: And how much the things changed. I guess when Javonte
Speaker 3: spect he isn't out there as supposed to like whining
Speaker 3: him in ah a supposed.
Speaker 2: To football play.
Speaker 4: Oh it changed a lot cause he was suppos he
Speaker 4: was supposed to pay.
Speaker 3: So, I mean, hey, it helps the Uh what what's
Speaker 3: the biggest challenge start someone as big as.
Speaker 4: Strong as a J Brown?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm I mean my game physical is I
Speaker 4: uh so? I mean uh huh I like being physical,
Speaker 4: so I mean, and that's that's what I like to do. So,
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't really think it if at me
Speaker 4: it feels.
Speaker 3: Like you're around the ball more and more. How much
Speaker 3: you looking forward to that first interception?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: It's coming. Uh, it's coming real soon. And I get it,
Speaker 4: I know, So I don't know what I'm gonna do it,
Speaker 4: So I'm just oent on you.
Speaker 3: You already have the celebration plan.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I already got it. I already got a plan.
Speaker 4: I already know what I'm gonna do.
