Speaker 1: It's Monday, October thirtieth, and you're listening to the Ravens
Speaker 1: Press Pass podcast. It's a good Monday here in Baltimore's.
Speaker 1: The Ravens took down the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday to
Speaker 1: improve the six and two on the season. That's good
Speaker 1: enough for the best record in the AFC through the
Speaker 1: first eight games of the season. Head coach Sean Harball
Speaker 1: met with the media today and here's what he had
Speaker 1: to say.
Speaker 2: Appreciate everybody being here. Thanks, got back late and got
Speaker 2: to work and we're in the process now of reviewing
Speaker 2: the game, finishing up with that, and then most of
Speaker 2: us are onto the next game. So what questions you have?
Speaker 3: You know, a year ago at this time, you guys
Speaker 3: made a pretty big splash.
Speaker 2: Prote one here.
Speaker 3: So I'm just curious when it comes to those things.
Speaker 3: Do you feel like there's a specific need for this team? Secondly,
Speaker 3: how is that process between you are go just in
Speaker 3: terms of need versus what might be available?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's a really broad and good question because
Speaker 2: specific need and need, what level of need, you know,
Speaker 2: is kind of what it comes down to. You're talking
Speaker 2: about degrees. Do we have a specific overarching like we
Speaker 2: have to have guy. No, we have an excellent roster.
Speaker 2: Love our players. We have guys who are getting healthy
Speaker 2: that will be coming off ir even you know, like
Speaker 2: Peppi Williams for instance, and guys like that. So I
Speaker 2: love our guys. I think we have everything we need
Speaker 2: to be successful. It's at the same time, if an
Speaker 2: opportunity came to bring in somebody that can help us
Speaker 2: and make us better in any area really but you
Speaker 2: know certain areas more than others, of course, and you
Speaker 2: could do it in a way that was affordable to
Speaker 2: the to the team in the club cap wise, draft,
Speaker 2: pick wise, those kind of things you would do it.
Speaker 2: You would do it to try to get better. So
Speaker 2: that's kind of where we're at right now. Eric and
Speaker 2: his group is working through that. Which just meeting with
Speaker 2: Eric just now about some of those things, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's a possibility. It's not easy making trades in this league.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just not. It's not. Maybe some sports
Speaker 2: it is. I don't know, I've never been in another sport,
Speaker 2: but it's just not. You don't see as many trades
Speaker 2: in football. We've made a few the last few years.
Speaker 2: I think Eric's done a great job with that, and
Speaker 2: if there's one to be made that would help us,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll he'll pull it off. If not, then
Speaker 2: we'll be happy with what we have because we have
Speaker 2: a great team. We feel like.
Speaker 4: John, we heard from a lot of the defensive leaders
Speaker 4: after the game that they definitely they have not played
Speaker 4: up to their standard. What was your sense of what
Speaker 4: they've meant by that? Do you think they were talking about,
Speaker 4: you know, some of those drafts they gave up in
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter? What what was your sense of what
Speaker 4: they were saying is that?
Speaker 5: Was that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean I think we wanted to finish the
Speaker 2: game and shut them out and not give up to
Speaker 2: you know, we we were playing against the clock as
Speaker 2: much as you were against the offense in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: so we were pretty very vanilla with the call, and
Speaker 2: we ran the same call probably fifteen times in a
Speaker 2: row or so, and that's okay. But the idea was
Speaker 2: that we were certainly going to try to win the game.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a two score game in different ways there,
Speaker 2: so you want to make sure that you don't you
Speaker 2: still want to give them the game. You don't want
Speaker 2: to have something happen to just hands them the game.
Speaker 2: You want to win the game, and it's really not
Speaker 2: about style points at that point. So but I also
Speaker 2: feel like we have a lot of pride. You know,
Speaker 2: we have pride as players, we have pride as coaches,
Speaker 2: and we want to we want to we want to
Speaker 2: put the best I guess every stop, and that's exactly
Speaker 2: what they're talking about.
Speaker 6: I think, John, is your assessment of your special team season.
Speaker 5: You've made a lot of good plays and it's a
Speaker 5: lot of positive but it seems almost there's a lapse
Speaker 5: or something that needs to be worked on.
Speaker 2: Right. Well, there's always something needs to be worked on
Speaker 2: special teams that have a lot of experience with it,
Speaker 2: you know, the expectations that all six phases are going
Speaker 2: to win. You know, you're talking about six different phases,
Speaker 2: and it's pretty hard to be to bet a thousand
Speaker 2: and six different phases and have every every Special Teams
Speaker 2: phase either push or win every every snap. I think
Speaker 2: we've we've done that a lot. I mean, we've had
Speaker 2: a ton of successor the standard is really really high,
Speaker 2: and that's good. We want the standard to be super high.
Speaker 2: Standard's probably higher here than anywhere in the league if
Speaker 2: you look at it over the last number of years.
Speaker 2: So that's awesome, and we chased that standard for sure.
Speaker 2: We played a very good special teams game yesterday. You
Speaker 2: know there's it's our kickof the one kickoff got him
Speaker 2: inside the twenty. We had four punts I think inside
Speaker 2: the ten. You know, our net pump was forty seven
Speaker 2: forty eight. It's pretty unbelievably good pump return. We were
Speaker 2: three for thirty, you know, ten yard average, and half
Speaker 2: of our calls were fake defense calls. You know, we
Speaker 2: were playing, we were paying playing safe pump return because
Speaker 2: they were in fake type of territory or fake down distant.
Speaker 2: So and we still had those return yards against a
Speaker 2: really good punk cover team. Kickoff return didn't get any chances.
Speaker 2: And the one, the one you're talking about is the
Speaker 2: onside kick, where that was the one we need to
Speaker 2: in this game play better. I mean, what happened was,
Speaker 2: you know, and I talked to their kicker afterwards, you know,
Speaker 2: I congratulated him on the kick because it really it's
Speaker 2: supposed to be a high hopper. It came up, it
Speaker 2: came up low and short, and we just need to
Speaker 2: be aggressive on that and go get it right now,
Speaker 2: and we hesitated. He hesitates his loss on outside kick
Speaker 2: recovery obviously, and it bounced, so we and the second
Speaker 2: one was the exact same kick and we went and
Speaker 2: got it. Uh So that's that's how it went. And
Speaker 2: you know, and I think we're it's like anything else,
Speaker 2: it's a battle. I think our special team's overall is
Speaker 2: playing at a high level. But we will keep chasing
Speaker 2: perfection and try to you know, try to make every
Speaker 2: play it's either a push or a plus. That's what
Speaker 2: we go for.
Speaker 3: Sometimes a little unusual for men to back up a
Speaker 3: huge what do you usual season to the bar. He
Speaker 3: also able to watch the passer like they were yesterday.
Speaker 2: Unless right, Well, yeah, he's having a great year. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess you first attribute Justin's great year to Justin.
Speaker 2: I mean, he's playing great. He's he's talented, he works hard,
Speaker 2: He's he's steadily come you know, he's coming coming here
Speaker 2: from the beginning and steadily worked hard to become the
Speaker 2: kind of player is. I really think he's having just
Speaker 2: a top notch hear, but against the run, chasing the
Speaker 2: ball down obviously and pass rush and so it's hit
Speaker 2: what he's doing. Plus I think the other guys, you know,
Speaker 2: the other guys, it's spread out. You've got guys who
Speaker 2: are pressuring from every different direction, defensive ends, inside guys, linebackers, safeties, corners,
Speaker 2: you know, Nicol you know, getting sacks that that kind
Speaker 2: of helps everybody. You know. It's kind of like the
Speaker 2: rising tide raises all ships. So but he deserves the
Speaker 2: credit for that.
Speaker 5: John, we can see, yes, Adels was really trying to
Speaker 5: get the ball and not a lot of receptions can
Speaker 5: still impact in how knows even draw flags and get
Speaker 5: defensive tension. What is that a special quality in terms
Speaker 5: of what he's doing for your team so far and
Speaker 5: just drawing the attention and even drawing you know, do
Speaker 5: on that flag when.
Speaker 3: You got to play.
Speaker 2: You know, it really is. I mean Odell's super talented,
Speaker 2: very determined, you know, really has a high standard for himself,
Speaker 2: really works hard, you know, and I really think that
Speaker 2: that's kind of indicative of kind of like his reputation.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like they have it. They know who
Speaker 2: he is, you know, they know he's number three, and
Speaker 2: they do not want to give up a completion to him,
Speaker 2: you know, And and he's being he's being covered that way,
Speaker 2: and it draws two huge defensive passion in afference calls. Now,
Speaker 2: Odell and Lamar and all of us want those to
Speaker 2: be catches, but passion affairs is the same as a
Speaker 2: catching this league, almost a touchdown would be a touchdown.
Speaker 2: You got to put it the one you gotta go score.
Speaker 2: That's the difference. That's the only difference. So I was
Speaker 2: happy with the way he played. I was happy with
Speaker 2: the fact that he was targeted. Uh. You know, then
Speaker 2: he got hit in the ribs on the sideline play
Speaker 2: and had to go out for a walk, came back in. Uh,
Speaker 2: didn't really get targeted too much, but did get the
Speaker 2: one big play passer ference, but was blocking well, which
Speaker 2: you probably didn't see. So he's playing really well, and
Speaker 2: I just think that it's gonna it's gonna pop. You know,
Speaker 2: he's gonna start getting some big catches for us.
Speaker 4: You get the sense that he he's the guy who
Speaker 4: beats himself up a little bit when he has a
Speaker 4: day rate Donna catches, even though he clearly did do
Speaker 4: things that the team yesterday.
Speaker 2: I don't know a good question for him, but I
Speaker 2: think he really wants to get catches, and he really
Speaker 2: wants to be a big factor in the game. You know,
Speaker 2: that's what he's used to. You know, he's he's a
Speaker 2: he's a he's a world class player, world class athlete,
Speaker 2: and that's the kind of expectation that he has for himself.
Speaker 3: Sure along those lines, I don't know if you'd seen,
Speaker 3: you know, he got the second PA throw, he you know,
Speaker 3: was upsetnth sideline. You know, I was curious that was
Speaker 3: the frustration of you know, getting a good catch. Obviously
Speaker 3: appearence or if it was if there was any his
Speaker 3: communication or.
Speaker 2: Just or just you know, obviously I think it's the
Speaker 2: last part. You know, it just wants to wants to
Speaker 2: make plays. You know, that's what he wants to do,
Speaker 2: and and you appreciate that he wasn't I talked to him. Actually,
Speaker 2: he wasn't mad at anybody. Just you know, he wants
Speaker 2: to make plays and wants the great son was in
Speaker 2: the stand first time, playing in front of his young
Speaker 2: son there, you know, in Arizona.
Speaker 6: So yeah, you.
Speaker 2: Know how it goes. That's that's how that's how guys are.
Speaker 6: It's curious your thoughts on ken Zeitler's kind of record
Speaker 6: that he said yesterday being all thirty two teams. Just
Speaker 6: your take on that. And then also the interior offensive
Speaker 6: line seems been playing. We had a really high level
Speaker 6: right now and just what you're seeing from that group
Speaker 6: as they've kind of jelled together and you know, stayed helping.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, agree, I mean they're playing really well
Speaker 2: and I think we're getting better and better. You saw
Speaker 2: the inside interior run game really come alive in the
Speaker 2: second half. That was something we've been working really hard on.
Speaker 2: And then with that, you know, Lamar got outside a
Speaker 2: couple of times on some keepers late in the game
Speaker 2: when we call those. Yeah, Kevin getting the all time
Speaker 2: only one of three ever to have that kind of opportunity,
Speaker 2: he said. He said the Cardinals had been elusive, elusive
Speaker 2: for him the last few years, which is kind of fun.
Speaker 2: But I don't know how many people can say they
Speaker 2: beat every team in the league, especially an offensive lineman.
Speaker 2: You know, that's pretty cool in terms.
Speaker 7: Of what he brings him a leadership quality. I've talked
Speaker 7: to a couple of the guys like Tyler Linderbond and
Speaker 7: said that his work at it in particular something that
Speaker 7: really stands out about him. I know he's only been
Speaker 7: here for a couple of seasons, but what have you
Speaker 7: seen from him in terms of work.
Speaker 2: At I'm sorry, who is that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kevin, thanks, you know what it is. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's he's a leader in kind of a really kind
Speaker 2: of interesting ways. First of all, by work ethic. This guy,
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't believe how he practice. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, he's the guy that does the pass sets
Speaker 2: when his wife's having a baby in the hospital. You've
Speaker 2: seen that, right, And that's how he kind of is
Speaker 2: all the time. He's he's he's just a on his
Speaker 2: craft all the time. But more than that, like he
Speaker 2: kind of he's he's a leader by relationship, Like he
Speaker 2: has the guys over to his house. He's hasn't by
Speaker 2: the pool they have, I don't know what they eat,
Speaker 2: probably a lot, but they have a lot of fun.
Speaker 2: And he kind of leads that way, which is which
Speaker 2: is really kind of neat. So he does it by
Speaker 2: relationship and by by example.
Speaker 4: I would say a lot of people are calling it
Speaker 4: to Michael Pierce game yesterday.
Speaker 5: You know, he plays so well and so many places
Speaker 5: stood out when you watch him over the course of game.
Speaker 5: To game and you go back and watch more closely, what.
Speaker 1: Kind of things show up than you see that maybe
Speaker 1: we don't see well.
Speaker 2: Game to game. He's played very consistently bo so it's
Speaker 2: kind of been like that. And then this game, the
Speaker 2: consistent play paid off in these opportunities to make these
Speaker 2: huge plays. So he's been doing the same thing without
Speaker 2: having the chance to actually make those plays. Sometimes sometimes
Speaker 2: he get pushed out to somebody else, are cut back,
Speaker 2: and then the sacks and the pressures he's he's been
Speaker 2: playing all year. He's having a great year. I think
Speaker 2: he's doing a great job and it's nice to see it,
Speaker 2: you know, kind of pay off a huge game for
Speaker 2: him like that.
Speaker 5: About a year since Rokwan Smith came the team, what
Speaker 5: did you know about specifically his leadership or communication before
Speaker 5: he arrived and based on kind of reputation or whatever
Speaker 5: you going in, has he those expectations that you.
Speaker 2: Have right with? Will you knew from the college draft?
Speaker 2: That's what they all said about him at Georgia and
Speaker 2: then Chicago. You talk to people who played for the Bears,
Speaker 2: of people in the organization, coaches, and that's kind of
Speaker 2: what they said about him there too. That he's he's
Speaker 2: a leader and all the things that you've seen, but
Speaker 2: you don't know exactly and you don't really hear it
Speaker 2: to the extent I don't think. I mean people maybe
Speaker 2: they don't want to tell you too much either. Then
Speaker 2: he comes here and he's I don't know. Sometimes it's
Speaker 2: a good fit too, Like he comes in here and
Speaker 2: he's it's kind of like just this place really fits him.
Speaker 2: I think, you know, I think he'd probably tell you that,
Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of his it fits his personality,
Speaker 2: his style. He's been a great fit. I think it's
Speaker 2: one of the all time great trades that we made.
Speaker 2: Not you know, I think the Bears did it. Nothing
Speaker 2: against the Bears they made. They got a good pick
Speaker 2: out of it, and they made it, you know, salary
Speaker 2: cap and all the stuff that they got out of it.
Speaker 2: It's probably going to be under sold a little bit,
Speaker 2: but in the end you'll see how it pays off
Speaker 2: for him. But maybe he was just the Maybe it
Speaker 2: was a win win, you know, but it's definitely a
Speaker 2: win for us.
Speaker 4: I mean, we talked so much about these trade deadline deals,
Speaker 4: the potential for them. You've been around the league a
Speaker 4: long time.
Speaker 2: How rare do you think it is.
Speaker 4: For a guy to come in like that midway through
Speaker 4: a season and have the breadth of impact that, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's probably pretty rare.
Speaker 2: I mean, no doubt about Child's I mean, I just
Speaker 2: I don't really keep track of that stuff, but I
Speaker 2: don't really remember too many of those, so I'd say
Speaker 2: it's a pretty big deal.
Speaker 5: John.
Speaker 3: On the broadcast, it looked like players are slippy and
Speaker 3: strowing with field conditions.
Speaker 2: It's just something that you've noticed.
Speaker 6: And when you do notice on something, is that something
Speaker 6: that you have to account for and play calling.
Speaker 2: For better or for worse. You know, I think it's
Speaker 2: the players responsible ability to kind of work on that
Speaker 2: as much as they can. You know, you can't really
Speaker 2: overthink it from a play calling standpoint. You have to
Speaker 2: account for it with the cleats, you know, and the
Speaker 2: guys understanding that in situations. I think I saw it
Speaker 2: was a couple of rain games, wasn't the Pittsburgh game,
Speaker 2: brainy stormy? So you just you got to keep your
Speaker 2: feet underneath yourself as an athlete, and our guys did
Speaker 2: a good job that for the most part. There was
Speaker 2: a few plays where we slipped, no doubt it was.
Speaker 2: You know, it's a different kind of grass they bring
Speaker 2: it in. It's nice. It was good safe field, but
Speaker 2: it's a little slicker. You know, we had the top
Speaker 2: nine for practice. Field was waste slicker than that, you know,
Speaker 2: so I thought, yeah, I was good practice for us
Speaker 2: on a slick field. You know, they adjusted from Wednesday
Speaker 2: to Thursday. So that's something that you just talk to
Speaker 2: you guys about and if you guys change their shoes
Speaker 2: and things like that. So, but that's something you really
Speaker 2: do have to think about them. It's very important to
Speaker 2: have good footing to baden.
Speaker 1: A couple of less catches end around and it seems
Speaker 1: like he's kind of come on a little bit at
Speaker 1: how big is that ram in the solvents?
Speaker 2: It's so big, I mean two big plays. The early
Speaker 2: catch to keep the drive alive, to go get the
Speaker 2: ball and take it away from the defender was just
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not going to see a better play
Speaker 2: than that. It was great. And then at the end
Speaker 2: a round, so to speak, it's it's really not It's
Speaker 2: a jet sweet type of play with with a reid
Speaker 2: option involved in a gap scheme, so to be clear,
Speaker 2: But Lamar read it right and gave it. You know,
Speaker 2: it's not something he's done a lot.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's practiced it even that much, you know,
Speaker 2: the ball handling of it. But to have him be
Speaker 2: able to do that, maybe they weren't expecting it, you know,
Speaker 2: but he he ran around there and I'll tell you
Speaker 2: when he turned the corner and accelerated up the sideline right,
Speaker 2: that was impressive, wasn't it. I Mean, he ran by
Speaker 2: a couple of guys and he really showed some bursts
Speaker 2: there and got up the sideline. They actually hit him
Speaker 2: out of bounds. Got us another fifteen, So it was
Speaker 2: it was a huge play in the game that ran
Speaker 2: time off the clock, got us down in there deeper
Speaker 2: and got us another score.
Speaker 5: John, do you see just following up on our shot?
Speaker 5: Do you see more confidence and he's for trusting his
Speaker 5: physical abilities as he gets further and further away from
Speaker 5: the injury. Has that even been like a week by
Speaker 5: week season journey where now and seems more confidence to
Speaker 5: make plays like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really perceptive because it's not the
Speaker 2: it's not confidence in his ability. He's always been very confident.
Speaker 2: It's confidence in his just health, the fact he's been
Speaker 2: all to stack practices now and get a feel in
Speaker 2: the offense and catch balls and run routes and compete
Speaker 2: for balls. Football is a practice sport. We've said that before.
Speaker 2: The more you practice, the better you get, you know,
Speaker 2: and the better feeld you get for the game, all
Speaker 2: those different things. And I would say it's just starting
Speaker 2: to kind of come together for him that way. And
Speaker 2: I'm hoping. I think the second half of the season
Speaker 2: for Rashad is going to be big, going to be
Speaker 2: very successful.
Speaker 4: Lamur talked after the game about the approach that Arizona
Speaker 4: took defensively. I mean, you know, only rushing three or four.
Speaker 4: We're talking a lot of guys into coverage in broad strokes.
Speaker 4: How do you guys want to attack that kind of defense?
Speaker 2: We got to be patient, you know, I mean, uh,
Speaker 2: it was, it was, it was. It was. It was
Speaker 2: kind of a cage rush, a very physical rush, which
Speaker 2: you know, Lions tried to do the same thing. Most
Speaker 2: teams kind of do that. Again, it says not not everybody.
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh's different. You know, they cage except for the you know,
Speaker 2: the two guys on the edge are just going you know,
Speaker 2: so we different teams plays different ways. Uh, but uh,
Speaker 2: you've got to be willing to check it down. You
Speaker 2: got to be willing to run it. I think you
Speaker 2: gotta be willing to call you know, get the ball
Speaker 2: out quick, you run the RPOs, which we called a
Speaker 2: lot of r pos yesterday. H all those things. Uh,
Speaker 2: you got to be able to do in the second half.
Speaker 2: You know, the run game kind of started going, and
Speaker 2: we're we're in a situation once we got the lead,
Speaker 2: you know, we were able to do that with that
Speaker 2: score at the end of the half even gave us
Speaker 2: a chance to probably run the ball even a little more.
Speaker 2: But you know, you're always trying to find yeah, and
Speaker 2: and and really in the first half two a lot
Speaker 2: of times you're trying to figure out what they are
Speaker 2: doing to you. You know, sometimes you got a certain
Speaker 2: play call and they bring a front up it doesn't work,
Speaker 2: or they stem to a front it's tough on the play,
Speaker 2: or or we try to throw a screen and and
Speaker 2: and the D and the and the defensive end. And
Speaker 2: the one screen we ran there was a loss. I
Speaker 2: mean he drops right to the screen. You know, it
Speaker 2: wasn't something we'd seen, was it even in their call
Speaker 2: or did you just feel the screen? You know, you
Speaker 2: don't always know. So it's you can't never a perfect formula.
Speaker 2: You know, things happen and you just try to navigate
Speaker 2: your way through it as a play caller and as
Speaker 2: the guys make the offensive adjustments in there.
Speaker 3: One of those things that that Lamar sorry, that has
Speaker 3: tried to focus on and work on. From the standpoint
Speaker 3: of I'm assuming it's a fine line between holding it
Speaker 3: too long and then you know, checking down as you mentioned,
Speaker 3: and so forth. And we you know, we saw make
Speaker 3: some money believing the play against the Lions multiple times
Speaker 3: where he did about the ball and then yesterday you
Speaker 3: know those really didn't ma tear lize. So so that
Speaker 3: back to the question, I guess, is that something that
Speaker 3: he sort of is working on and is focused on.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean I think that's something that's that's
Speaker 2: a a it's a fluid thing, you know. Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: principles to the plays, there's timing to the plays that
Speaker 2: are run, and then there's playmaking. You know, many times,
Speaker 2: you know Lamar and the guys will you know, he'll
Speaker 2: scramble and get your chill. I'm one throwing d the
Speaker 2: r she'll hold the ball, step around, make a throw,
Speaker 2: or just the protection'll hold up and I'll be able
Speaker 2: to hold a whole heart and boom, the coverage gets
Speaker 2: pried open and somebody is able to come wide open.
Speaker 2: You know, we've seen that lots of times. Other times
Speaker 2: it just collapses on you. You're trying to hold it,
Speaker 2: you don't maybe see a guy whatever, and you get sacked.
Speaker 2: I mean, sometimes it happens. The main thing in that
Speaker 2: case we can overcome sacks. We don't want too many
Speaker 2: of them. You don't want them in critical situation, don't
Speaker 2: want him in fringe funeral range, but you definitely want
Speaker 2: to hold onto the ball. And that think Lamar has
Speaker 2: done a good job of that last few weeks, especially
Speaker 2: being conscious of that. He's also made plays, extended plays,
Speaker 2: especially in the red zone, numerous extended plays that you're
Speaker 2: happy with. So I think that's something that you just
Speaker 2: got to understand as part of playing the game sometimes
Speaker 2: and just work on and say, Okay, in this situation,
Speaker 2: maybe the ball goes here, what do you think? And
Speaker 2: I really asking Lamar what he saw and what he
Speaker 2: thinks and why he did what he did. Usually is
Speaker 2: a really good way to kind of to understand it
Speaker 2: because he sees the game really well and he looks back,
Speaker 2: he knows why he did what he did and what
Speaker 2: he's and he's able to, you know, express that to you.
Speaker 3: You didn't go both.
Speaker 2: What is your next twenty four hours to look like?
Speaker 2: But so long we have your week's week rhythm, but
Speaker 2: the trade deadline coming up? Are you fully prepared on
Speaker 2: the game?
Speaker 4: And the Eric calls him in from time to time
Speaker 4: to talk about pretty possibly, do you spend a lot
Speaker 4: of time the next twenty four hours focused on the
Speaker 4: trade deadline as opposed to the next game?
Speaker 2: I spent that's the first one. I'm working fully on
Speaker 2: the game. And then when Eric comes in and says, hey,
Speaker 2: this is what we've got going in this or that
Speaker 2: scenario that becomes somewhat realistic, and then then we'll talk
Speaker 2: about it. That's how it works.
Speaker 4: You gets injuries after the game, which is which is
Speaker 4: a good day, I guess. But was there anything coming
Speaker 4: out of the game worry about this week?
Speaker 2: Nothing major coming out of the game, and we may
Speaker 2: have some hope coming back. A chance to talk to
Speaker 2: Tius just last week and Tyas was was pretty optimistic,
Speaker 2: you know. So I can't say it's a guarantee, you know,
Speaker 2: because it's just kind of a it's a it's a
Speaker 2: it's a it's a knee that's a little a little
Speaker 2: angry at times. But who knows, maybe maybe we'll get
Speaker 2: ties back. We'll see how that goes in the next
Speaker 2: few weeks.
Speaker 5: Close.
Speaker 2: Pepe is close. Yep, Pepe's close. Ham's close. So and
Speaker 2: you got to make some decisions there and those are
Speaker 2: all good things.
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Horrible.
Speaker 2: Now.
