<v Speaker 1>we had a chance to talk with head coach John Harbaugh.

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 2>Good seeing everybody appreciate you being here.

0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Really focused on the task at hand in front of us,

0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 3>which is a big challenge, but we're up for it.

0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.919
<v Speaker 2>We're looking forward to it. What question did you.

0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Have, John, you mentioned earlier able that I'll just because.

0:00:29.800 --> 0:00:34.720
<v Speaker 2>As any easy to add to that myself. Yeah, you

0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 2>look at the calendar going into week ten?

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 3>How bim makes you feel to have all fifty three

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 3>players and they work through it makes me feel good. Yeah,

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 3>it's happy, But people haven't given it that much thought.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 3>To be honest with you, I'm just focused on the

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.280
<v Speaker 3>next game and having a good practice today. But the

0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 3>fact that the guys are out there practicing, yeah, sure,

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 3>it's a it's a big, big plus for us.

0:00:56.360 --> 0:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I agree with that. That was easy on get my

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 2>easy button.

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 4>How do you see you guys are gonna deal with

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 4>mental physical physics.

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 3>How we're gonna deal with mental and physical fatigue? That's

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 3>like the best question we've had right here, by the way.

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 3>Nice nice job. I think I think we're dealing with

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 3>it right now. We've we've done a good job of that. Uh,

0:01:18.080 --> 0:01:19.960
<v Speaker 3>we've been on the road, we've been on the you know,

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 3>different very tough teams, very physical games, and I feel

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 3>like our guys have handled it very well. And we've

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 3>got to continue to do it because you know, we've

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 3>got this game against the Browns then, which is a

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.400
<v Speaker 3>division game and it's gonna be a physical game that

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 3>always is another physical game against Cincinnati on Thursday.

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's probably probably the main point.

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Right now is how we handle that and how we

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 3>approach it, and our job is to handle it better

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>than our opponents.

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 2>To you, guys can learn a lot.

0:01:47.480 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 4>What you're about, just young guys kind of buddy.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.840
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, that's how it always works. You know, you're

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 3>always growing, it's always a process. You're always putting new

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 3>guys in and well, I don't care if it's offense,

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 3>defense or special teams. It's always a growth mindset and

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:13.880
<v Speaker 3>a process. So it probably wasn't as bad as as

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.160
<v Speaker 3>you thought it was early in the year, and it's

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 3>probably not as good as maybe you're making it out

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 3>to be right now, but I think we're playing good

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.520
<v Speaker 3>and we're gonna have to play our best, and we're

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 3>playing a really good special teams unit coming in here

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 3>tomorrow or Sunday, and another good one on Thursday. And

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.920
<v Speaker 3>our division has four great special teams, uh, you know,

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 3>operations and they always have So that's another reason that

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 3>makes this division good. And we're gonna have to be

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:42.799
<v Speaker 3>at our best to you know, to.

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 2>To help our team.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>We also had a chance to talk with some of

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the locker room. Here's what they had

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>to say.

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>I can put up the VIP.

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Wrote that that was Morgan. You know.

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 5>We just there's a ton of medios over here for

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Gino and all the pacey's being is so we kind

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 5>of need to separate to get our space back a

0:02:59.240 --> 0:02:59.639
<v Speaker 5>little bit.

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 6>What's your mindset going into this Browns game? Obviously the

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 6>big matchup with Miles Garrett.

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 5>It's gonna be a battle, it's gonna be a war.

0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 5>We know it's gonna be a physical game. We know

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 5>the type of teams that are in our conference, and

0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.320
<v Speaker 5>the Browns are a physical team, and we got to

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 5>bring our our a game.

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:15.679
<v Speaker 6>Oh, well, do you feel like this offensive line is

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 6>gelling together right now? Obviously you're running the ball really well.

0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 6>What do you think is kind of in behind that?

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.519
<v Speaker 5>I just think we have great chemistry, you know, uh,

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 5>be able to have the same guys in the room

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 5>the last couple of years and uh, just having a

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 5>great room of guys, and we just have the mentality

0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 5>and attitude and you know, we're still not where we

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 5>want to be, and we just you know, are not

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 5>getting complacent and what we're doing, and we're just always

0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 5>working to get better.

0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 7>Nie Hole's Garris having one of our best seasons or

0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 7>defensive player in the league in the first half. Do

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 7>you relish these these kind of battles against the best

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 7>players in the league.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 5>Definitely, you know, you look forward to these opportunities and

0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 5>uh in this game and these are one of those

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 5>games where you know there's something an opportunity to uh,

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, to prove you know, the type of player

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 5>I am and the type of offense line that we are,

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 5>the type of offense that we are, the type of

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.839
<v Speaker 5>team that we are, and you know, we look forward

0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 5>to opportunities for you.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 7>You're sitting here on seventy two and you have two

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 7>back and back division games. You know, what's the mentality

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 7>of the team knowing you know what he could do

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 7>with over these next couple of weeks in terms of

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 7>this division race.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean we we know where we are as

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 5>a team and where we lie in this league. But

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 5>like you said, we're just trying to take this one

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 5>game at a time. We know I'm pouring these division

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 5>games are and uh, we're turning this game like a

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>super Bowl, So you know, we're trying to make sure

0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 5>that we're putting our best foot forward and you know,

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 5>leave everything out there. N you've etually what a couple

0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 5>of other offensive guys have said that the offense is

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 5>trending in the right direction, but it's not where you

0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 5>want to be get what what are you looking for.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:37.719
<v Speaker 2>To get to that next time?

0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:39.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, for us, it's perfection.

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 5>For us, it's making every blog for the perfect technique

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 5>and uh for seventy five.

0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 4>Plays a game.

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 5>And you know that's a hard feat to do, but

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 5>that's that's our goal, that's our mentality. And you know,

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 5>maybe we won't, maybe we won't get there, but you

0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 5>know we keep that, keep that mindset.

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 4>We're I think we're getting pretty close.

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 5>Where you're playing like super like nine games where you

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.839
<v Speaker 5>can do all and I guess you know, for yourself,

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:03.919
<v Speaker 5>there's any you know we've been trying to get to.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>What do you feel like, Oh, things are really good?

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:06.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, exactly.

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's the same standard I hope for myself.

0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 5>You know, I try to be perfect out there. I

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 5>try to make sure I not only get the job done,

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 5>but I'm doing it with great technique and every play

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 5>of the game, you'd be consistently, you know, I think

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 5>I'm getting better.

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:20.240
