It is Tuesday, 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:08.200 June eleventh. The Ravens wrapped up their first day at 0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:10.320 Mini camp practice and afterwards we had a chance to 0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.520 hear from some key players a head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.240 Let's kick things off with Coach Harps. 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.680 Okay, good seeing everybody appreciate you being here. We had 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:23.319 a really good practice. I was excited about that Mini camp, 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:27.960 the first mandatory practice of the year, and we enjoyed it. 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.880 And it's great to see the guys out there. On 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.040 top of that, we had eighty Ravens legends here with 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:37.080 their families. Uh, kind of reminiscing. I think the Ravens 0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:39.879 do a great job. Matt Little with the Ravens alumni 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.280 does an amazing job. I think all our all of 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:42.879 our people do. 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:43.519 Uh. 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.080 They got to cook out over there now. Kids are 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.640 playing touch football or tackle football and everybody's having a 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:52.120 great time. So really enjoying that. It's it's a once 0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:53.960 a Raven, always a Raven you really he really is 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:58.080 a family type of a of a an organization. And 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.600 when you see the guys back, the smiles their faces, 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.200 who want to introduce their kids to you, our players 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.680 go over, take them minute to meet their kids, to 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.800 sign autographs, to do pictures. It's to me, it's what 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:10.399 it's all about. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.119 How many did you recall? 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.240 Well after I was told I got them all. But 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.600 you know, sometimes the face is the name of the body. 0:01:18.640 --> 0:01:21.240 You know, everything kind of changes over time, Jerry, except 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.560 for you. Yeah, you used to always stay the same. 0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:24.840 John. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:28.240 We talked to Ronnie about the lapse after fall starts. 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.160 He said, you know, it's gonna get guys to learn 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.959 very quickly the day when is that something that you 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.120 just thought you bounding into that or like, you know, 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.080 how long do you think you'll be continuing the rule? 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.720 Well, as long as we don't, there's a really easy 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.520 way to stop it. You know, don't be don't be 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:47.000 jumping off sides. But we've been going through the off 0:01:47.040 --> 0:01:49.600 season and we're doing a lot with cadence, We're doing 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.240 a lot without the line of communication, and it's challenging. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.600 So we understand there are gonna be those moments and 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:57.000 you have a choice. You either always go on one 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.240 or you say we're gonna push through it. We're gonna 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.080 have that, We're gonna live with mistakes, but we're gonna 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:02.800 We're gonna get good at it. So we want to 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:04.800 get good at because we think it's cadence is a weapon, 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.560 and we want to be able to communicate the line, 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.519 and we want to be able to protect our communication. 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.680 So if Toddy must the guys to run after they 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.720 jump off side, they'll do it. And I appreciate Josh 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:16.880 Johnson being the first guy to be the leader and 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.000 get out there and take the first lap. So that's 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:19.640 what leaders do. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.440 Ronnie was saying he hasn't felt the skitsin's twenty twenty. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:26.000 I guess it's that about what you're seeing a similarity 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.520 between what you looked like before that. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.119 Season and now. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.840 Yeah, I don't remember twenty twenty. It seems so long. 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:33.000 That whole year is just a blip. It's just gone. 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:39.400 You know. Did anybody remember twenty twenty? Apparently Ronnie does. 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.520 And it was a good year for Ronnie, bad year 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.720 for everybody else, but a good year for Ronnie. Where 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:48.639 are we going with this? I think Ronnie's doing a 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.400 good job. I really do. I mean, he got in shape, 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:55.400 it looks like he's ready to go. That's exciting. I 0:02:55.440 --> 0:03:00.320 love Ronnie, I love I love you. Know who he 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.480 is personality, but also love what he's capable of doing 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:05.480 on the football field. You know, if we get Ronnie 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.679 Stanley out there playing to that level, that would be wonderful. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.639 You along those lines, do you see a guy who's 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.560 interrport from maybe or fit. Obviously he doesn't have injuries 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:17.600 to deal with. Now if you did, you of the 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:23.680 season in spirited in the practices and they are sensing, uh, motivation. 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.320 Is probably after that work. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.720 So are you sensing something out of him is hus impressive? 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:30.040 Yeah? 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:31.560 I mean, you know, I you go by what you 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.919 see as a coach, you know, and and uh, as 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.960 Bill Parcells said, now what you remember, you know? And 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.560 uh what I see from Ronnie is he's moving his feet, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:42.080 looks like he's got a good anchor, and uh, you know, 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.680 he'll get into the pads and just just work, just 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.720 gotta get to work and really get everybody ready. I mean, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.800 he's the same as everybody else. But obviously having a 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.280 a talented left tackle playing at a high level would 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:53.480 be really good for a football team. 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:55.040 John sol. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:02.160 I know, I know, and Ot there's some insight with 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.080 the new door and do you have any update on 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:04.360 the line. 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:04.680 I do. 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.160 I guess I can say now I've talked to him 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.640 a few times. The last couple of days. His baby 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:11.480 is in the hospital fair five week old daughter. 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:12.240 Uh. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.240 They brought her back in the hospital this weekend and 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.400 now the last couple of days. So he felt like 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.159 he couldn't really leave his family. So we understood and 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:20.039 we excused him for that. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.680 John, we saw Kyle Hamilton is observing. 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.240 Is he dealing with a physical issue and you're gonna 0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:25.800 be ready for training? 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:28.400 Kyle will be ready. Kyle had some loose bodies in 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:30.760 his elbow that they went ahead and just plucked out. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:32.479 So it's a two to three week deal. 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.600 Shot with Derek, you know, running back at thirty years old. 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.120 So all the wearing Terry's head over his his career. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.680 Do you guys view him as someone who can meet 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:41.160 to him the same kind of Workplader he had. 0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:42.919 He's gonnessee here? Sure? 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.840 I mean we do you know? I mean I watched it. 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.320 I watched the wear and tear that he put on 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.320 defenses you know and ours included over the years. And 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.640 he came out, He's come out. He's in great shape. 0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.640 He's a stickler for detail, knowing knowing the plays, and 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.280 he's moving really well. So I can't wait to see 0:04:59.360 --> 0:04:59.880 him in action. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:04.200 John's on that note without pads, and then they didn't, 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:06.280 you know, roll saying that you. 0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:08.320 Know when when pads are on, that's really where he 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.839 shines obviously took What can you kind of tell about 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.120 this fit within the offense when you're. 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:15.159 Doing a meaningful work? 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:17.159 Yeah, well, you know, we run a lot of the 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.839 same plays that that that everybody runs. You know, we 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.880 run inside zone, outside zone, run the gap schemes. You know, 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.800 we got some lead schemes, some traps. He's run all 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.039 those plays before. He's really good in past protection. Uh, 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.240 So you know it's uh, I don't think it's even 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.760 gonna be an issue with the fit. Uh. He's gonna 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.920 help us, He's gonna make the make the offense better. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.080 He's gonna help Lamar all those things. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:40.200 John, I know it early and and a lot of 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.800 the practices is scripted right now. But when when you're 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.120 when you do have Henry and Lamar out there together, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.520 are you seeing some of the uh, just the human 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.360 aspect of defenders trying to guard those two guys and 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:54.280 read option whatever the case may be. 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.320 Just that hesitation that they may get. 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.720 Definitely, I think to your point, you can see the 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.120 potent of it, but you know, it's just it's just 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.520 it's a fit drill right now. So there's really no 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.880 stress being put on the defense over the offense physical 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:11.640 physical physicality wise, but hopefully you know, the idea that 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.400 he can attack from the A gap all the way out, 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:16.560 and then the offense can attack from the A gap 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.920 all around and they've got to defend him and and 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:23.080 Lamar full with the field and the other guys full 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.320 with the field. That's just the width of the field, 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.360 not the depth of field. Hopefully that stretches the defense out. 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.320 You know, it's kind of a big picture concept of it. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.320 But the guy that when he runs down there, it's 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.120 going to be meaningful. 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:34.560 So trying to feel like. 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.279 The team is adjusting to hold the changes to the 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:37.200 coaching staff over. 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.799 The office's I think he's been great. Coach has been great. 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.240 You know, our guys have come in and done a 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.320 great job, and uh, you know, just I look at 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.039 the product and I also look at the job the 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.960 process and the process has been amazing. I think we've 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.200 got we've had some great coaches and sometimes it's good 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:53.720 to mix it up a little bit and turn it 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.159 around a little bit and get another uh, just another 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:57.640 kind of a look at things. We haven't changed our 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:01.160 scheme on defense, but we've added stuff, We've tweaked stuff. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:04.360 We haven't really changed our philosophy on offense, especially from 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.520 last year, but we've definitely grown the offense special teams. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.880 We're chasing this new kickoff kickoff return things, trying to 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.880 figure that out. So it's a lot of a lot 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.960 of excitement. 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:14.880 John Dow's that everyone's back. You've got a lot of 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.600 differents in the locker room. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.440 How do you find a way to send messages to 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.080 the team when you're talking to them in meetings? 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.600 That's gonna resonate both with your two time MVP and 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:23.960 the undrafted rookie trying. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:24.680 To make his first roster. 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:26.920 Yeah, I don't know. It just just come comes to 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.280 us as coaches, you know, then the guys, and then 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:31.160 usually you go by what you see. It's the great 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.760 thing about coaching is that people say kind of keeps 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.080 you young. You know, it kind of does because you're 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:37.280 in there with the guys. You're in there with the 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.240 guys every day and there's a lot of banter and 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.160 back and forth and fun. We had fun out there today. 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:42.960 Mark and I were going out of the huddle and 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.640 trying to get this thing templed up. And that's that's 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.080 what you live for. I mean, that's the way. It's 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.920 got to be just open and honest and just lay 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:52.080 it out there and try to find a way to, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.320 uh to confront everything that has to do with our 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.680 football and uh, I don't know. I just think we 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.320 got a good bunch of guys, so it's really not 0:07:58.360 --> 0:07:59.960 hard to communicate with him. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.200 Ota and Minihammers have changed over the years and produce 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.400 some of the physicality in years passes. With their reunion here, 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:08.280 have you gotten. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:11.400 The bunch of the the guys coming back giving reviews 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.560 on what they make of VOTs. 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:14.680 Yeah, they didn't say you about, you know, putting the 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.720 flags on guys or anything like that. They didn't mention 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.880 that they were they were happy to be back. And 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:25.080 really it's always been that way. It was always supposed 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.600 to be no contact, but back in the day, you know, 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.680 they didn't really police it. I remember my first my 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.760 first time out here with the Ravens, first time we 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.800 had an o TA practice and the defense was blitzing 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.720 every play. You know, Rex was bringing the heat and 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.960 they were causing wreaking some havoc, you know, running through 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:46.120 gaps and stuff like that, and uh, you know, I basically, 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.160 you know, told him to calm down, and they started 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.440 calling the offense. Little brother Cam got ticked off. I 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:52.839 thought Cam and Rex were gonna go at it. Will 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.320 anybody pay to see that fight? Cam and Rex? So, 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.360 uh so, I don't know. Some guys said something. I said, 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.400 it's a couple of things. Back to the defense. Next thing, 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.040 you know, Jared Johnson's walking out in the field coming 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.000 toward me. You know, you know, we're the what do 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.319 you say? We were the number six defense in the 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.200 league last year, you know, and I did know my numbers. 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.880 I said, points, you were twenty four. Okay, point you 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.760 were twenty four, So, you know, so he comes walking 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:20.680 to everything. I looked at him. I said, I said, 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.120 you want to go? You want to go right now? 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.079 What I meant was, do you want to go off 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.400 the field back to the locker room. He thought, like, 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:30.360 you want to drop the gloves and go, you know, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.520 So we made up pretty quickly at that point. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:36.560 Johnny thought over. 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.520 The offensive line, and we know those positions and the 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:39.560 names that are competing. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.680 But how far out are you comfortable taking this realistically speaking, 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.040 are you going to go through all preseason or do 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.480 you want to make some of the decisions. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.439 Like you did for John last season. 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.600 Great question. I really like the earlier the better. I mean, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.959 it would be nice if we can kind of by 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.120 the first send of the second week in training camp. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.080 I'd be a goal to kind of have a good 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.240 idea to go into the games. You know, it could 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:04.400 go into the preseason games, but maybe just one spot 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:06.920 maybe up for grabs or something like that. That'd be okay. 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.280 But the sooner the better. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.120 You mentioned the new kickoff rules. I've been seeing a 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.560 couple of teams are kind of opening up the door 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.120 to anyone. They are really thinking out outside the box 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:19.200 on who can return. I know you guys have brought 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.960 in harding, and you have guys on this team that 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.959 have been returned specially, But in your mind, is there 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.160 anybody that's like, I'm not putting. 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:25.400 Them back there? 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.640 Oh yeah, there's a lot of guys. Yeah I'm not 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.040 going back there. Yeah, And Lamar's not going back there, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:37.079 and Mark's not going back there. Kyle's not going back there, 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.560 Beast's not going back there, Quan is not going back there. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:46.320 Who else you know? Who? Mat A bk not going 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.600 back there. File is not going back there, that's for sure. 0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.400 Stanley not going back there. Now, it's a lot there's 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:59.720 a lot of nose catching kicks. Was he Steven Shotty's 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.320 returney kicks? If Steve wats return kicked, Steve may go 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:05.440 back there. Yes, he's allowed, he can do whatever he wants. 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.320 But no, we're gonna stick with it to the serious point. 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:10.199 You know, we're gonna it's gonna be our We're not 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.400 gonna put Zay back there. We're gonna put our return 0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:14.040 guys back there. You know, those are the guys that 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.720 do it. I mean, if we got an emergency and 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:17.920 we had to have a guy because of injuries, we 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.720 would do it. That shouldn't happen. We've got guys that 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:22.440 can do it. We have returners that can do it, 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.600 and some young guys that want to do it. So 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:25.720 we'll love the guys. 0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:31.880 We also talk with veteran linebacker Roquan Smith. 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:34.600 You've had a kind of. 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.680 Success, you had kind of all grow up, the contract 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:38.280 all this stuff. 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.160 How do you approach from year to year? 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.240 Where do you think that you get Oh, there's a 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.000 lot of things where I think I can improve personally, 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.200 but I think it's all about the team and personally 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.480 and as a team, we came up short, so there's 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.520 always room to get better. And part of being here, 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.120 like pretty much the entire time, is that you know, 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:01.200 I love this. You know it's my up and I 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:04.040 love what I do, and so it's just about finding 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.319 little ways to get better. But I think there's ways 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.080 all across the field, whether that's you know, certain ways 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:13.800 to beat different blocks, maybe route recognition, even quicker things 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.200 like that. So I think there's a numerous amounts of things, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:19.120 and it's always about getting better, because you're not getting better, 0:12:19.160 --> 0:12:21.160 you're getting worse, in my opinion. 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.120 Recognition to credit for your receptions today or what happened on. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:28.560 That one, Oh, No, I just knew most quarterbacks are taught, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:30.959 and then I knew we had some pressure going. So 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.680 I knew most quarterbacks are taught. When the defender back 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.760 is turned going up the middle, shoot just to. 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:38.439 Lay it up. 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:40.600 So I knew I had to get my back turned, 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.079 and then somehow made a play real when you. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.520 First But do you think back to when you first 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.560 met Zach Orr, how did you kind of build trust 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:50.680 in one another and start to build that bond And 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.800 obviously he's in a bigger job now, but how did 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.360 you build that religionship? 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:54.920 Yeah? 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.800 Absolutely, I'm extremely proud of zero happy form and you 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.240 know the way he worked got busses his tail day 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.319 in and day out. Career ended short because he probably 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.280 would still be playing right now if if that, if 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:10.520 it wasn't for that. But I think it started from 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:12.400 when I first got here, when I first got traded, 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.320 my first day here, I remember him going up to 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:19.079 his office, me going over pretty much every play that 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:20.880 was a lot in my head was spinning a little bit, 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:23.400 but like how he was very patient with me and 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:26.760 was able to teach the information that I would need 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.400 in order to succeee with playing a game within like 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.400 six days. So I think that's just a credit to 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.360 like how he get down, how he's about his business, 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:37.640 and I'm just excited for him to show the world 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:41.240 exactly how he called a game and how he motivates 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:43.200 defense like no other. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.199 What is it been like going guys, Derrick Henry practice now. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:48.560 And what is it like knowing you. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.800 Don't have to do that Dams? 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.640 Yeah, no, for sure. With d hand, it's a lot, 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.360 it's a lot. It's a lot more chill right now. 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.160 Because it's OTA's mini camp. He don't have on his 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.160 pass so this is not his strong suit more so, 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:01.880 it's when he put his on that's when he become 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.280 that demon and whatnot. But it's great being able to 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.800 line up across from that guy, one of the best 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.800 backs of our generation. Got a mad respect for him 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.480 and all the things he's accomplished, and I still see 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.440 he has a lot of tread left on the tire. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.960 So I'm just excited for him to show the world 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.200 exactly what he can do. And yeah, lining up against 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:25.320 across from him is a lot different than lining up 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:26.400 to go to war with him. 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.440 You talking about team success, You guys last season were 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:31.600 number one in sacks, turnings or some points allowed. 0:14:31.640 --> 0:14:33.440 How do you help yourself with that same standard going 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:33.920 to this year? 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.960 Last year doesn't matter anymore. It's a new year, new team. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.280 But we still have a lot of these dogs on 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.800 the team and it's just about staying hungry. We hunt 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.520 as a pack and just like I think of like 0:14:45.760 --> 0:14:48.239 safaris and things like that, like a pack of hyenas 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.760 like lions or whoever it is. Don't really want to 0:14:51.040 --> 0:14:52.760 run up on those guys. So I feel like we 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.480 got that kind of mindset and guys on all three levels, 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.000 and we play hard and effort is something that we'll 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.480 never question and just being relentless and everything we do, 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.760 and I feel like if we do that, our talent 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.400 will take care of everything else we got. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.920 You got a lot of chances to see trying in 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:14.560 OTAs and the sweet in your eyes. 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.240 What are the strives he's made that you can see 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:20.320 so far early this summer. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.960 Yeah, no, I think man, I think he's gonna surprise 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.520 a lot of people. Man, he's still learning, for sure, 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:27.880 But I just think the way he don't make the 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.120 same mistakes over and over every day, he learned from 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.400 his mistakes, and I think that's crucial when you're young, 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.680 being able not to make the same mistakes twice. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.480 And I don't think he truld well. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.800 I know he don't understand how fast, how explosive, and 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.960 how powerful he is. But once he actually understand that, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:47.080 which I think will be very soon, watch out. 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.880 Brookland how beneficial is it having Zach Oh as a 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:52.960 defensive coordinator playing the same position that you played, Like, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.840 is that kind of helped that relationship in helping it evolved? 0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:57.280 Yeah, No, absolutely. 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.000 With him being a former linebacker playing it playing at 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.400 an all pro level, not many people can say they've 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.680 done that and then switch over to the coaching transition. 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:10.480 I think it definitely helps out. We see things a 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:13.560 lot similar he played back in this league, so the 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:15.240 way he saw things as the backer, he kind of 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:17.760 teach it from that, which I think makes things a 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.440 lot easier to understand. So I think it's gonna be 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:23.520 great and I'm just excited to put it on display 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.640 this fall. But you know, there's a process in place, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:27.760 and I'm respectful of that. 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:29.880 You know, Zach has. 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:32.920 Already talked about how being a first first time play caller, 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.880 there's some challenges that come with it. His first challenge, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.840 of course, is gonna be the Kansas City Chiefs and 0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:40.360 Patch Grumps. You know, Zach, how do you think he's. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:42.520 Gonna be able to have pand of that step up 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.640 to the plate and whatever comes is gonna throw everything 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.640 he got and he's gonna be prepared, like no other 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.320 than I got the utmost respect for him and the 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:52.560 utmost confidence that he's gonna do the job with Flying Colors. 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.560 I don't think there's any other questions to be asked 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:54.920 about that. 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:57.160 Is there stuff you do off. 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:00.440 The field to increase that sentive partnership with and I 0:17:00.440 --> 0:17:02.440 mean like, were you texting him, you know, during during 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.600
