We practiced it the last couple 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:31.200 of weeks. You know, it was pretty cold the last 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:32.759 couple of weeks. A lot of wins, so that's been 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.760 good for us. I kind of feel good about that. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.399 We will get out there tomorrow. I really believe we'll 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:38.760 be able to get out there tomorrow. The field was 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.480 frozen today, so we weren't able to get out there today, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.240 But tomorrow looks like we should. 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.400 Stands out to you about this Houston team that's. 0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:48.880 Different than so. 0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:51.680 Yeah, Houston team. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.920 You know, they're just seventeen weeks better. You know, I 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.320 think they do a good job. Obviously, they've suddenly improved 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.680 every single week. I thought they were very good football 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.640 team week one. I think if you go back and 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.320 check your record, you'll you'll find that. You know, so 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.880 they've they haven't surprised me or they haven't surprised us. 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.480 They've they've done pretty much what what I thought they 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.840 were gonna do. They're very good football team. They're very talented. 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.080 They played very hard. Uh they executed a high level 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.720 the you know, CJ is just doing phenomenal job. 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:21.799 Uh. 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.040 Nico Collins Michigan guy, you know, man, he's he's a 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.840 go to guy for him. A lot of a lot 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.120 of skilled players, good offensive line, playing very physical defenses 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.080 all over the field as you'd expect, you know, obviously, 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:36.880 just a really good football team. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.600 And so you saw Mark Hans to take a nice 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:41.680 grab their drills. 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.400 But because of the left, what have. 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.679 You seen from him just physically since he's been back 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.680 practicing and is there hope he might be able to play? 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:51.079 Yeah? 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.480 That was I think today was his best best showing 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.000 so far. You know, he really took took a big step. 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.919 Just what you saw today we saw as well. Uh 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:00.920 So that's encouraging. Just have to see how it goes. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:05.200 Remember being as of your head coach, who were quarterback 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.720 and getting into the playoffs? And what have you seen 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.399 in Tamiko Ryan because he gets out there for years. 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.320 I considering the. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:15.400 Calendar of getting in. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.640 It's a way back machine there. I mean, I remember 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.240 that run. It was it was exciting. Who are we 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.040 beat in the first game? 0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.679 Was that Dolphins? 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:30.240 Oh yeah, I remember, I remember now? And we were 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:35.680 down to Miami. Didn't didn't Sugs have an interception? Or 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:37.160 was it a reed read? 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:37.640 See? 0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:40.520 I remember it so well. You know, you just you 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.480 just you're just not thinking that way right now. You know, 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:44.600 you're thinking about what's in front of you. But then 0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.240 we went to Tennessee and beat Tennessee, and then we 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.480 went to Pittsburgh and didn't win. 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.360 I remember that, John. 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:52.800 What does change this week? 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.840 I mean, obviously playoffs, the winner go home element is 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.280 thrown in there, but are you preparing your team? 0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.080 Is anything drastically change the sence? 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.160 And now you know, it's just the excitement of being 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.760 in the playoffs. I mean, you understand it's a It's 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:09.160 true we talk about being one to know and it. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.760 Comes into sharp focus in the playoffs. 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.240 But our guys understand that's not something we need to 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.960 talk about. We just understand that the teams you know 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.200 that are playing right now, there's eight teams left and 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:21.279 it's the best eight teams, and so you're playing high level. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.400 We've been playing those kind of games pretty much for 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.560 the last number of weeks, and our preparation remains the same. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:31.200 We were great today on point and I'm excited about that. 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.600 You did have the hardest schedule coming out of here 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.360 late by. You have the hardest schedule for about a 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.480 five week run. And how much does that help as 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:38.440 you're prepare for the playoffs. 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:39.120 Well, it definitely helps. 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.720 I mean it sharpens you, you know, it's it forges you, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:42.719 it makes you stronger. 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:45.240 Donaha. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.880 The plan when you guys signed Odell was gonna have 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:49.680 to kind of ramp up. 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.240 But the way that we had and I know you 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.839 weren't there that worked out in Arizona or whatever it was. 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.400 But to see him kind of come along physically, have 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.280 to see your football now being a guy who it 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:01.400 has to be the years. 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.600 What was, like I said, impressed your shot out to 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:04.880 you a kind of way he's branded up. 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.520 Yeah, I definitely definitely appreciate that question. I just think 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:08.360 he's been through a lot. 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.240 Odell's been through so much and uh, and he's worked 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.440 so hard and it hasn't been easy. 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:14.960 I mean, I think there's a lot of pain. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.480 Involved there over the over the course of the last 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.839 two years and even throughout the course of the season 0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.800 in terms of working through the different challenges. And he's 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.320 at his best right now. You know, you see him 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:28.360 out there, he looks really good. He's moving around excellent fast, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.320 he's catching the ball, running great routes. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.640 So I think, you know, I'm looking forward to seeing 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:33.280 what he does here. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.280 John didn't Williams haveing Williams weeks from a thing where 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:39.000 he just wasn't. 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:39.920 All the way back in this kind. 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.760 Yeah, you know, I don't the medical details of it, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:46.920 but it wasn't it wasn't there. It just wasn't there, 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.320 you know, as far as being ready to to uh 0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.400 get out there and be safe and play at that level. 0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.680 So we looked at it, tried to get it there, 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.320 and it just wasn't getting there. And that Paige did 0:05:58.320 --> 0:05:59.760 everything he could do and he'll be back, you know, 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:00.360 next year. 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:05.359 But I just wasn't there right now, I. 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:06.680 Would say coach Sean Harbaugh. 0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.200 Next up is quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.599 Therefore practice throwing the ball left handed doing chest bumps 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:13.960 out there. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.880 Uh, I mean it's the playoff weeks. Uh, it seems 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.760 very very loose out there. That's kind of how you 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.360 feel right now. 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.000 Absolutely, you know, we had some time off to regroup 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:32.800 lot back in hight Antsy Antsy Cordea, Lamar, how much 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.880 did it change when you once you know, it came 0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:37.640 to the realization that you guys were playing the Texans 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:38.359 hunch jobs. 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.440 And picked out who your opponent was. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.480 Did did anything to change. 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:45.080 When were times of stock I know you'dn't preparing, but mentally. 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:45.599 Did any kind of coach? 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:46.479 Uh? 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.560 No, I just went right to film from uh the 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.400 first time we paid them and just watched film from 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.560 throughout the season who they you know, from other opponents 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:54.799 in Texas have played. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.120 Just went right to it, you know, film study. 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.200 How different do you feel they are from seven couple 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:00.800 weeks to war? 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.640 They I I believe they're more in sync as a team, 0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.520 you know, I I I believe they had new guys 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:06.520 getting used to the coach. 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.520 They're playing lights south ball right now. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.200 It war uh goa Charbo just said that he feels 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.360 like Odell is at his best right now.

You know, it's everyone gonna 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.240 shine it all together. 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.360 So you know, he can't really get all the flowers 0:11:57.400 --> 0:11:59.400 he deserves, you know, but to us, he definitely get 0:11:59.440 --> 0:11:59.800 his flowers. 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.000 Cause he's one of the ones. 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.839 We were talking about rookies to the improves since week one? 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.640 How have you seen Save Flowers improve?

Just stay in that mold, 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.160 because he go out there and just ball out. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.240 Yeah, I mean, how has he improved since week one? 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.160 He's been playing the same, He's been playing the same. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:27.920 Uh. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.720 She would just keep doing it, you know, just level 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:32.360 up a little bit more of anything, you know. 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.160 Market well, any better on this team looks away to 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.200 see him, uh, you know, run some routes and then 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.320 kind of come along in that progress from the something because. 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.160 It's great to see one of our guys back, you know, 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.480 one of our main guys are back. 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:46.199 Uh. 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.199 But if you just need him, keep it paying and 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.640 keep getting better day at a time. But we waiting 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:50.959 on him. 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.360 In your four previous playoff games, the offense didn't score 0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.760 more than twenty points. How much more confidence do you 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.280 feel that this year's offense has the ability to put 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:01.000 up the points you even win in the playoffs. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:05.959 Very confident, very very confident, extremely confident. 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.880 And then you were treating each game like with the 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.480 championship game. Cause back to that point, how do you 0:13:14.520 --> 0:13:17.120 make that mindset? He help you keep this far? 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.000 How it would pair you forward about? 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:20.160 Uh? 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.120 Just you know, just keeping my mind focused on the assignment, 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.559 you know, not letting anything into into my mind. You 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.920 know that I'm mess up, my mess up, my my 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.800 thoughts for the game and stuff like that, and it 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:32.400 it's great. 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.959 That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard from defensive 0:13:39.080 --> 0:13:41.600 leader Rokwan Smith at the podium today. 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:45.319 It's rule. How would you, uh you describe the mentality 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:46.439 of the team going into playoffs? 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.600 Oh, next game on the schedule. We all know what's 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:51.840 at stake. Is that all go home? 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:53.760 I mean it's go home or keep going, you know, 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.240 and we know our mission and we know how we 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.640 feel about each other, and we know it's not gonna 0:13:58.800 --> 0:13:59.199 end this week. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.680 So we're gonna do everything in our power and play 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.200 all style. We do that. Everything else, I'll take care 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:04.680 of yourself. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.720 Saturday, And how are you feeling ahead of your first 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:10.400 playoff game. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.079 That, oh, it was pretty I thought we had we 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:14.480 got a lot of it. It was kind of funny 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:18.480 you asked that because the head security, uh, one of 0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.960 the head security's Craig, he asked me. 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:21.520 He was like, bro, man, you came in. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:25.000 You didn't really uh, you didn't really speak much. You 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:27.080 just had the straight face like you it was a 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:28.800 real game. I'm trying to tell you to relax in 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.360 a sense. So it was just in that mindset, you know, 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.760 when I get to the stadium, man, I'm thinking like, hey, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:34.880 it's time to go to war. 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.280 So it was definitely good. 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.080 And then it was also good from the standpoint of 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.040 guys with families and stuff being able to hang out, kids, 0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.480 being able to enjoy the stadium, enjoy foods and just 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.280 break bread amongst each other. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:46.560 So it was pretty sweet. 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.320 You're a pretty intense guy during the regular season. I 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.640 think that's a fair comment. How much more intense do 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.280 you get for a playoff game? 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.240 I think you'll be there Saturday at what time? Four 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:03.640 thirty and then and we'll see how about that. Well, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:06.120 you know, I think it's always up a notch. But hey, 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.160 your life depends on it every single game throughout the 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:11.960 season and then playoffs. Man, it's just I don't think 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.720 personally you try to, but just I think instincts just 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:16.080 raise that raise our standard. 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.280 But at the end of the day, I'll see there 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:22.840 Saturday and we'll see when you look at affections from 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.000 week one c J. 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.680 Strap in week one to now, what stands out about 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:28.320 where they've come. 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:31.200 Yeah, I think they're definitely have approved, but hey, so 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:34.520 have we when you look at it, and yeah, they 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.640 do a lot of good things. Twenty six is running 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.560 the ball well. Seven he's very accurate, and then twelve 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.480 the receiver, he's definitely coming on. So the offense is 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:47.400 definitely clicking. But hey, we wouldn't want it any other way. 0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.000 So we're prepared for it and we're ready to go 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.560 to war regardless of who is against. And they're the 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.400
