Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Wednesday,
Speaker 1: December thirteenth, and the Ravens were repairing to face the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. As the Ravens get ready for
Speaker 1: that game, we had a chance to talk with head
Speaker 1: coach John Harball today after practice.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody. I appreciate you being here.
Speaker 3: Good practice, and we're pointing towards Sunday night against an
Speaker 3: excellent Jacksonville team. Played them quite a bit the last
Speaker 3: few years, and we know what's in store and we're
Speaker 3: looking forward to the opportunity. A couple of roster moves.
Speaker 3: We brought him Malik Cunningham. He had a chance to
Speaker 3: come over here and be a part of our team.
Speaker 3: We're very excited about that. I feel like he's got
Speaker 3: a great future in the league. And so he was
Speaker 3: at practice today. And then Devin Duvernet is on the
Speaker 3: short term I are we'll expect him to be back
Speaker 3: for the playoffs. So but our first job is we
Speaker 3: got to get there for and talk that. So it's
Speaker 3: that's our goal. Well questions, yeah, John, within the week,
Speaker 3: now you have full quarterbacks, what how would just kind
Speaker 3: of describe what will be kind up a point because
Speaker 3: that in a lot of teams have the full quarterback. No,
Speaker 3: it's definitely different, unique situation. Uh, from a quarterback perspective,
Speaker 3: it's a future type of a move. I think Eric
Speaker 3: would describe it as that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: So he can, Uh, he'll practice.
Speaker 3: He's out there practiate quarterback today early in practice, but
Speaker 3: he'll also work a wide receiver and work on special
Speaker 3: teams too, and things he was doing in New England already.
Speaker 3: That's what he's doing there as far as practicing as well.
Speaker 3: So we'll know he's a very talented person, you know.
Speaker 3: So he'll contribute every way he can. But we'll stay
Speaker 3: with the four quarterbacks. That's the way we'll do it,
Speaker 3: and he'll contribute in a lot of different ways at
Speaker 3: this point in time.
Speaker 2: So Hamilton out there, how do you think he's moving
Speaker 2: around with that biration? I thought he moved pretty good.
Speaker 2: You know, I was pretty happy to see it.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: He he wasn't a full participant.
Speaker 3: He was out there for a lot of most of
Speaker 3: the practice, did as much as he could and we'll
Speaker 3: see how he progresses as week goes on.
Speaker 6: John obviously helped is a big part of this game.
Speaker 7: What do you how impressed you just with your team,
Speaker 7: even despite your own injury issues to still have all
Speaker 7: fifty three guys on the field today in December.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's a that's a plus for us. We've Hey,
Speaker 3: we're happy about that. You know, you guys have been
Speaker 3: around here the last few years. So that's a that's
Speaker 3: a that's a major plus fours. So but we've got
Speaker 3: to go out there with all all of our fifty
Speaker 3: three and everybody else and play our best game on
Speaker 3: Sunday to have a chance to win this game.
Speaker 8: John, you've got regressive on Fort Detroit this year as
Speaker 8: much as this last game.
Speaker 9: A couple of situations in Fort and Clerk at the
Speaker 9: fee goal.
Speaker 10: Is that match up based in this last game?
Speaker 11: And is the unit out of place where you feel
Speaker 11: comfortable going for there to be made for the Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean I think there's always growth to be made.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, so I'll say all the above,
Speaker 3: but there was no fourth in like ones or less
Speaker 3: than ones in this game.
Speaker 2: There are more two and threes.
Speaker 3: If I if I, if I remember right, you know,
Speaker 3: I have to go back and look at that. So
Speaker 3: you just take every situation as it goes in the game.
Speaker 3: You know how you feel about adding points and the
Speaker 3: risk in terms of making the field goal where you're
Speaker 3: at as far as punting, I think all that goes
Speaker 3: into it. I don't think it's any grand really, you know,
Speaker 3: assessment compared to other years. Really just trying to do
Speaker 3: the best we can. We definitely have confidence in our
Speaker 3: ability to get it. So we'll see what happens going forward. Tape,
Speaker 3: I see a really good quarterback, you know, I mean
Speaker 3: it's a big broad question. Ryan, you know, you kind
Speaker 3: of opened a lot of doors for me there. You know,
Speaker 3: what do you think of Trevor Lawrence? I think he's
Speaker 3: really good. You know, he's big, you can throw really good,
Speaker 3: you can run really good. What else can I say?
Speaker 3: The guy's one of the best quarterbacks in football. So
Speaker 3: that's what I see on tape.
Speaker 12: Don just now. I think he has this streak of
Speaker 12: a half sack like ten street games. I mean, how
Speaker 12: impressive is especially for an interierity, because.
Speaker 3: Well, it's is that record. It's gotta be some kind
Speaker 3: of record, don't they record? Okay, I'm for that. I'm
Speaker 3: for tying the record down, for beating the record and
Speaker 3: I'm for extending the record.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: Uh, it's it's he's just he's having a fantastic season
Speaker 3: and it's just not surprising, you know. I mean you
Speaker 3: saw it as he all through the years. By sawt
Speaker 3: in training camp. We all did. And he works hard
Speaker 3: every day. He's humble, he's he's determined, he's confident, and
Speaker 3: he wants to be the best player he can be.
Speaker 3: He plays, he plays for his team. I just you know,
Speaker 3: there's nothing about about him that isn't an a plus.
Speaker 3: And to see him have that kind of success, you know,
Speaker 3: it's awesome.
Speaker 11: I think Malik is a guy that just come back
Speaker 11: to him for a second and like, what do you
Speaker 11: like about him? Given this unique skill set in terms
Speaker 11: of obviously you mentioned your sior angle part.
Speaker 9: Of that, in terms of what he could actually.
Speaker 2: Do, Yeah, it's gonna be really interesting to see how
Speaker 2: it develops.
Speaker 10: Some me.
Speaker 3: He's a quarterback, you know, there's no doubt about that.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's he's here to play quarterback and
Speaker 3: develop as a quarterback. And and that was kind of
Speaker 3: the future move you know down the road. Uh, that's
Speaker 3: that's just an opportunity. I think when you're a general manager,
Speaker 3: you've got to look for all those opportunities. And Eric
Speaker 3: is is you know, he's the best, So he does
Speaker 3: that and that's part of it. But in the meantime,
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's talented enough and willing enough to
Speaker 3: help any way can.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of how you see it.
Speaker 7: Quack, why did you decide that you wanted to ask
Speaker 7: some more into interview for that position because he said
Speaker 7: he never expressly.
Speaker 11: Said he wanted it.
Speaker 7: And since then, when you see performances like Lamar Jackson
Speaker 7: just had, where do you see he's into influence in.
Speaker 3: The way he spent well, I mean, T, you know,
Speaker 3: is a quarterback coach. You know, he's been a quarterback
Speaker 3: coach in his career. He's uh, he's been an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: You know, he played quarterback obviously pretty well at Tennessee
Speaker 3: and then in college. My brother I worked with him
Speaker 3: at the Raiders, so T, you know, T's always I've
Speaker 3: always seen Te as a quarterback coach in that sense.
Speaker 3: We did a great job with the wide receivers and uh,
Speaker 3: and when we were you know, just looking to kind
Speaker 3: of see what we're going to do in terms of
Speaker 3: taking the step that we've taken in the off season.
Speaker 3: It just made a lot of sense to ask him
Speaker 3: the interview. And and I'll say this, when he did
Speaker 3: an interview for it, he did a tremendous job. I mean,
Speaker 3: really really great job. Just kind of kind of blew
Speaker 3: me away. Not that I was surprised by it, but
Speaker 3: you know I was. I was kind of expecting it,
Speaker 3: but then you see it and you're like, wow, this
Speaker 3: t was He's the guy for the job, you know,
Speaker 3: And and he's just done a great job the Dolphins.
Speaker 6: The Dolphins lost since the last time to talk to you.
Speaker 6: So you guys are in the number one spot in
Speaker 6: the conference now, I know you don't want.
Speaker 12: To get ahead of youth.
Speaker 6: Is there some excitement for the team and having that
Speaker 6: goal with the number one seed out there to chase
Speaker 6: so clearly or you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's knowing's there's no number one seed.
Speaker 3: There's no such thing as that right now.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. There's just because they put.
Speaker 3: A bracket up on TV screen doesn't mean anything.
Speaker 2: It's it's what you do.
Speaker 3: So we our guys understand that we've got to go
Speaker 3: earn everything we get and if if if we earn it,
Speaker 3: then that's that.
Speaker 2: Then we'll get it. If we don't earn it, we won't.
Speaker 3: So we're gonna try to as many games as we can,
Speaker 3: climb as high as we can, but really just play
Speaker 3: one play at a time as well as we can
Speaker 3: compete as hard as we can every single play, every
Speaker 3: single series, every single quarter, every single game, and that's
Speaker 3: our focus, and that's really all we're thinking about.
Speaker 10: John, there's some special teams coordinators gaining head coaching buzzes,
Speaker 10: things kind of regress and what about special teams and
Speaker 10: from that background, did you feel was beneficial for you
Speaker 10: and transitioning into a head coach.
Speaker 3: That maybe, Yeah, everyone has a unique kind of path
Speaker 3: and to see see guys that come up in different
Speaker 3: paths other than you know, the traditional offensive coordinator quarterback
Speaker 3: path is good and there's great coaches you do it
Speaker 3: that way too. But you know, I think one thing
Speaker 3: about that particular route that you're talking about is the
Speaker 3: opportunity to be really well rounded in terms of the
Speaker 3: game management, dealing with the roster, the roster decisions, being
Speaker 3: able to kind of have a relationship with all different
Speaker 3: players on the team, and then also being involved most
Speaker 3: of the special teams coaches have coached different positions over
Speaker 3: the course of their career, offense, defense as well. So
Speaker 3: just being able to have an umbrella kind of an understanding,
Speaker 3: I think is a big, big advantage that they have.
Speaker 3: It's kind of been overlooked a little bit over the years,
Speaker 3: and uh, I think more of those guys should get
Speaker 3: an opportunity.
Speaker 2: I hope somebody does soon.
Speaker 3: Again, you know, I like to think it worked Okay,
Speaker 3: it worked out pretty good the last time.
Speaker 2: So hopefully one of those guys will get a shot soon.
Speaker 9: You think Todd Munket's personality has fit in in terms
Speaker 9: of just the firing nature, his energy, and I'm talking
Speaker 9: about specifically, and like meeting with his players seem to
Speaker 9: really appreciate his kind of you know, loud, boisterous kind
Speaker 9: of style.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean he's he's he's he's got everybody's
Speaker 3: got their own style, and Todd style is is Todd style,
Speaker 3: you know, and it's it's his personality and really good
Speaker 3: and it's he's a very good teacher, He's a very
Speaker 3: good he expresses things, really was a great communicator, makes
Speaker 3: it very clear you know what he's looking for and
Speaker 3: he does it in a real energetic kind of way.
Speaker 2: You know, in it's a fun way.
Speaker 3: And I don't know, I just I think he's a
Speaker 3: great football coach doing a great job. And I agree
Speaker 3: the players have have latched onto it and they appreciate it.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, so as the.
Speaker 7: Release of the game on Sunday, Josh Allen he sending
Speaker 7: one of his better seasons rushing the past. So what
Speaker 7: have you seen from him in the challenge.
Speaker 2: That he might right?
Speaker 3: Josh Allen usually coming off our left side. He's gonna
Speaker 3: have to We're gonna have to be account for him
Speaker 3: and everything we do. But you know, gosh, I mean
Speaker 3: the whole front. They got a really good guy on
Speaker 3: the right side, and they got two guys back in
Speaker 3: those two guys up that play all the time that
Speaker 3: are really good too on the edges and got they've
Speaker 3: got two good great inside in the middle, linebacker inside backers,
Speaker 3: and that front is pretty dominant too. So some of
Speaker 3: the best defenses in the league. And we're getting ready
Speaker 3: for him.
Speaker 9: Remark how much time with had to go and stand
Speaker 9: headed Ryan to Redino Blubbers earlier.
Speaker 11: Shady clip of Kevin Zeitler kind of shifting over sides
Speaker 11: and catching on Donald.
Speaker 9: And a block that freed up the bar after work with.
Speaker 3: Strangple, What has that unit been asked to do a
Speaker 3: terrific pass blocking there? And why do you think they
Speaker 3: been successful at the games a center. Well, I think
Speaker 3: we've seen you know, we talked about the challenge this
Speaker 3: week and I told the guys in the media sporning,
Speaker 3: but we've also seen the best in the league, and
Speaker 3: that's been a week after week here in the last
Speaker 3: month or so or more. I think the offensive line
Speaker 3: I've done a phenomenal job, and I put the running
Speaker 3: backs in that category two. As far as pass blocking,
Speaker 3: but that was you're talking about passing off a game
Speaker 3: and a twist, which is what Jacksonville does a ton of.
Speaker 3: They're really good at it got to be great at that,
Speaker 3: but that's what offensive line play is. And our guys,
Speaker 3: I think our guys are the best in the business.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of those guys. I think Joe and Mike
Speaker 3: do a great job. But I think we have really
Speaker 3: great players that really just work hard every single day
Speaker 3: and all the details, kind of blue collar work to
Speaker 3: make a payoff like that on Sunday that.
Speaker 1: Was takeing coach John Harrball. We also heard from a
Speaker 1: quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 12: Familiar face out of practice day with.
Speaker 13: Yeah, brother, what do you kind of see is uh?
Speaker 12: You know with him joining the team. Kind of the
Speaker 12: potential he has?
Speaker 14: Oh man, the type of potential man, great quarterback. You
Speaker 14: know I've seen the first hand, you know, when he
Speaker 14: was a freshman at Louisville.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 14: And you know obviously had to watch some of his
Speaker 14: high school highlights because that's just what we do, you know,
Speaker 14: we know watching each other play football. He's, like I said,
Speaker 14: great quarterback, man, explosive, can throw the ball anywhere on
Speaker 14: the field, make guys miss.
Speaker 13: He can do it all.
Speaker 6: Are you fit up nothing but division leaders over the
Speaker 6: next three weeks? Do you like almost having like a
Speaker 6: mini playoffs before the playoffs?
Speaker 14: I like playing football, so it really doesn't matter, you know,
Speaker 14: I'm just gonna have fun.
Speaker 7: Are you shared the advice the aguilar gay? Prior to
Speaker 7: that Dave Flowers touchdown?
Speaker 15: What difference has he made to me?
Speaker 10: In his addition, just because he has veteran leadership too?
Speaker 5: Is win a championship as well?
Speaker 14: Oh yeah, just like that prime example, that just that
Speaker 14: situation on just vet knowledge, you know, just bringing knowledge
Speaker 14: to the gam and knowing on what guys would do,
Speaker 14: you know, just how to take ownership of, you know,
Speaker 14: within a play, not being selfish, you know, stuff like that,
Speaker 14: because that was very unselfish of him to you know,
Speaker 14: I'm just gonna run this.
Speaker 13: Gud the way and JL be open.
Speaker 14: You know, some guys probably be like, if I ain't
Speaker 14: getting the ball, I'm just gonna do whatever I do. You know,
Speaker 14: so small stuff like that, you know, just separation some
Speaker 14: from other guys or.
Speaker 1: You obviously about one a MVP before and certainly in
Speaker 1: the conversation again this year.
Speaker 10: Does that mean something to you? What do you make
Speaker 10: of that?
Speaker 14: It's an honor, you know, just like you said, just
Speaker 14: for me being acknowledged, you know, just being that MVP
Speaker 14: conversation with great guys who's who was all up being
Speaker 14: nominated for. But you know, I'm just staying lock there,
Speaker 14: trying to win because i want another championship, if anything,
Speaker 14: another trophy, if that's you know what that means anything.
Speaker 16: Your last two opponents, Jaguars and the Rams, their most
Speaker 16: recent games have been against the Browns. Is there anything
Speaker 16: to seeing what may in the yps North team or
Speaker 16: what they're trying to do to.
Speaker 8: Attack a defense. Is that something that you guys pick
Speaker 8: up on or is that not really the focus? And
Speaker 8: when you're kind of deconstructing the film, so that's the question.
Speaker 8: So the Jaguars and the Rams, their most recent games
Speaker 8: have been against the Browns, and do you see and
Speaker 8: when you're picking apart film ways that maybe the Browns
Speaker 8: are going after those opponents that you guys try to
Speaker 8: pick up on or is that not really how it
Speaker 8: works on the film?
Speaker 13: Rakdown, No, that's not really hot. Ors.
Speaker 14: You know, we pretty much just how to give do
Speaker 14: our thing, you know, but you try to find out
Speaker 14: there isn't outside their defense. You know, they put us
Speaker 14: in a better situation of when we face when we
Speaker 14: face them, because.
Speaker 13: Teams play different.
Speaker 14: You know, we can't go off how they played the
Speaker 14: Browns because our guys are different.
Speaker 10: Curious what you took notice of Isaiah likely to touch?
Speaker 14: They already told me it was gonna do it, like
Speaker 14: if if either one of them scored, they gonna do
Speaker 14: that celebration.
Speaker 13: I'm like, I'm not.
Speaker 14: Worried about it. But they really did it. So it
Speaker 14: was pretty funny. I was definitely laughing about it was cool.
Speaker 13: I liked it. I liked it. I give it a
Speaker 13: to give.
Speaker 11: Actually, you had some thumbs up for celebrations.
Speaker 13: Okay, so about that the thumb down? All right, So
Speaker 13: I didn't.
Speaker 14: The only reason I gave h my thumbs down because
Speaker 14: I feel like we wasn't in sync with it, Like
Speaker 14: the whole team wasn't, you know, going in on the celebration.
Speaker 14: It was like him and Bait only and everyone else
Speaker 14: was like clueless, like we were like, what's going on?
Speaker 14: So that's all I but that was horrible, Like next time,
Speaker 14: let us know, give us a heads up, you know.
Speaker 14: But it was good when I caught on what was
Speaker 14: going on the bouquet flowers, like, okay, that was nice.
Speaker 14: It was a nice thought.
Speaker 9: That has been more coordination.
Speaker 14: How Yeah, because after I told him about that horrible
Speaker 14: celebration that he did the first one, you know, the
Speaker 14: second one was pretty good, him and Odell when they
Speaker 14: did the little whatever it was, it was pretty dope.
Speaker 13: I like that one.
Speaker 14: And then this past you know, Sunday, the one with
Speaker 14: him and likely I liked that one. That was pretty
Speaker 14: good as well, but they been stepping it up they
Speaker 14: stepping up the mom.
Speaker 7: What do you make of Zay's comfortability now? Uh, not
Speaker 7: only just on a touchdown grab, but even the two
Speaker 7: point conversion catch that he makes. I mean when you
Speaker 7: go back and watch those plays again, are you watching
Speaker 7: his maturity right now?
Speaker 14: I mean I been knew what he was capable of,
Speaker 14: you know, just from us being in South Florida, just training,
Speaker 14: you know, just build a chemistry.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 14: And it's just his camp, you know, just his first
Speaker 14: day at camp. How he's just elusive and he's trying
Speaker 14: to get better each and every play. You know, if
Speaker 14: he make a mistake, he's trying to redo it and
Speaker 14: get better at it. You know, I've been seeing the maturity.
Speaker 14: You just got to keep getting better, keep being him money.
Speaker 4: Just what stands out to you when you're talking together
Speaker 4: about him and his game.
Speaker 13: He's unique.
Speaker 14: You know, he's one of one of one only he
Speaker 14: can do it he do when he's on the field,
Speaker 14: you know, and when he gets his chance and to
Speaker 14: show the rail, I believe people gonna see it, you know,
Speaker 14: just not from college, just when he enter the league,
Speaker 14: because we've seen the preseason when he was with the Patriots.
Speaker 13: You know, little glimpses of it, but I just think
Speaker 13: the roil love him. At the Scott's Lemon.
Speaker 15: Phone, Mark John was talking about how clean the offensive
Speaker 15: line kept you for the most part. He also praised
Speaker 15: the running backs to pass protection. When you watch you
Speaker 15: go back and watch games, what like about a guy
Speaker 15: like Justice, He'll stands out in froms of pass protection specifically.
Speaker 13: Because things that stand out is, you know, Justice.
Speaker 14: People might look at him like, oh, he's an under
Speaker 14: sized back or something, and he might not be able
Speaker 14: to pick up a lineback of blicks. He shows you
Speaker 14: on film. You know he steps up, take on the
Speaker 14: block just like he's two hundred pounds. You know, he's
Speaker 14: just a great all around back. He can do it all.
Speaker 13: Run out of.
Speaker 14: Batfield, catch out to batfield, supposed to runs, bring power
Speaker 14: and blocking.
Speaker 13: He can do it all about fastball game.
Speaker 9: And you guys are obviously doing more dropbacks this year,
Speaker 9: doing more passing year. How do you think they offered
Speaker 9: the blind as a bapt in to what ties got
Speaker 9: to do with the continuity that they've had. However, adjusted
Speaker 9: to you personally supporter back and become more.
Speaker 14: And I believe that, guys, justine just fine. You know
Speaker 14: anything we need I want to do, I believe they're
Speaker 14: capable of doing it. Uh, just practice me perfect And
Speaker 14: I feel like, you know, the more we practice, the
Speaker 14: better they get. The more we out there passing the ball,
Speaker 14: the better they're getting, you know, and I'm protected, Like
Speaker 14: you know, you guys just said they're just blocking the
Speaker 14: tail off.
Speaker 9: Do you view your relationship with Tyler Linderbaum and have
Speaker 9: you sensed this year or him becoming a little more talkative,
Speaker 9: just kind of showing his personality more than maybe he
Speaker 9: did as a rookie where he kind of just went
Speaker 9: about his business.
Speaker 13: Tyler has been the same since his rookie year.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 14: The only thing changes he's been in there. You know,
Speaker 14: he's been in the league another year, actual year. But
Speaker 14: Tyler has been the same. You know, the knowledge is there,
Speaker 14: you know, the vocal is just speaking being a leader.
Speaker 14: You know, even though he's young, he's been a leader,
Speaker 14: you know, just stepping up and just as he's smart,
Speaker 14: very smart. Tennessee Center, Great center.
Speaker 11: Lamar, how are you different than twenty nineteen, Different.
Speaker 14: Between nineteen old that obviously four years older. Well, I
Speaker 14: don't know, man, I don't know, I don't know. I
Speaker 14: can't tell you not right now.
Speaker 13: At least.
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also talked with linebacker
Speaker 1: Patrick Queen.
Speaker 13: After last year.
Speaker 4: That game didn't get the end of any guys one
Speaker 4: of them, wouldn't you see guy all film and convin
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence some of the teams of time to get
Speaker 4: that again. Just doing what we do best, keep the
Speaker 4: ball in front of us, be able to make tackles
Speaker 4: in open field. Kid got a great arm. You could
Speaker 4: see coverages, and the players do a good job once
Speaker 4: they get the battle in here and making place for him.
Speaker 4: And Travis is a great back. He could do everything
Speaker 4: on the figure receive. You can run the ball behind
Speaker 4: the line, you run behind his paths and stuff. So
Speaker 4: it's it's a full long challenge that we just gotta
Speaker 4: be ready for.
Speaker 6: Honestly, Trick, you haven't been shy about saying how good
Speaker 6: you think this team can be? How bad do you
Speaker 6: want the number one seed in the ANC?
Speaker 4: We want it bad. We wanted bad. If we don't
Speaker 4: get it. We made the playoffs, We're still in there.
Speaker 4: We still can dance, and I think that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 4: As long as we have our spot in there and
Speaker 4: everything else. Take care of yourself.
Speaker 12: I know this type of defense probably the run defenses,
Speaker 12: and where you guys wanted to be. How much do
Speaker 12: you guys take that to heart and how close do
Speaker 12: you think it is or how easy to kind of taxpense.
Speaker 4: We're looking at every way to improve that. Man, honestly,
Speaker 4: just coming down to err man owning the gap and
Speaker 4: doing the best they can. Sometimes they'll have numbers on
Speaker 4: you and somebody got to just make a play. You
Speaker 4: have to take it, take two gaps. So you know,
Speaker 4: we're looking at ways to improve that. And internally player wise,
Speaker 4: we all want to improve on that as well. We're
Speaker 4: all talking about it ourselves that one of us might
Speaker 4: have to go to extra mile to make a play,
Speaker 4: So that's what we do. We'll do it.
Speaker 9: Patrick Com. You guys got a bunch of guys who
Speaker 9: signed here or whether it's in the off season or
Speaker 9: even during training camp, Vanoi, Malet, Darby Clowney. Why do
Speaker 9: you think the locker room and this team in particular
Speaker 9: is such a good fit for a lot of these guys.
Speaker 9: Why are you able to sort of integrate these guys
Speaker 9: so quickly and these guys a lot of them are
Speaker 9: having kind of career type years.
Speaker 4: I think what we do allows everybody just to be
Speaker 4: free and just do what they do the best. They
Speaker 4: do everything that you see that we do. Everybody has
Speaker 4: a certain role, certain job, but at the same time
Speaker 4: can do everything else, can also do the other persons job.
Speaker 4: So when you got interchangeable pieces like that where everybody
Speaker 4: can do everything, they keep stuff moving, keep offen is
Speaker 4: guessing and that's why everybody is performing the way they perform.
Speaker 9: From a personality standpoint, do you think there's a sense
Speaker 9: of be yourself where guys aren't asked to kind of
Speaker 9: stifle their personalities or to change what they've been doing.
Speaker 10: In the past.
Speaker 4: Definitely, And no coach is not asking to change anything.
Speaker 4: They want you to be who you are now. Certain
Speaker 4: stuff like setting the edge, all that stuff. Obviously you
Speaker 4: gotta do all that stuff. That's that's football. That's we're
Speaker 4: gonna stop the run, so that's always preached. But as
Speaker 4: far as like how you rush or how you want
Speaker 4: to set a block, set the edge, you could do
Speaker 4: you got free will at that.
Speaker 3: Obviously this defense.
Speaker 5: As Briven Due, you know, one of their groups and
Speaker 5: three this year that you know the question, Really, you
Speaker 5: guys have a lot of pride, but you're going up
Speaker 5: against the quarterback like Lawrence at a team like Jackson whatever,
Speaker 5: as the porting offense.
Speaker 1: How important is it for you guys as the defense
Speaker 1: to deliver a really strong show when you play well.
Speaker 4: I just think that goes back to last year with
Speaker 4: the solar taste that we left in our mouth from
Speaker 4: that game last year. So we're looking to improve and
Speaker 4: every aspect of our defense. We just got to go
Speaker 4: in there and play our game. Play play bullyt football,
Speaker 4: play Ravens football. Just everybody do their job to the
Speaker 4: best of their ability, going there, confident, going there swinging.
Speaker 4: We just gotta be us, I see, that's all. It's
Speaker 4: gona take us being us, us being bullets that's going
Speaker 4: out there and dominate with.
Speaker 12: With Odell, we see him, I mean he talked there, right.
Speaker 12: I saw him come up to your locker room and
Speaker 12: talk to you. How would you just kind of describe
Speaker 12: him as a leader.
Speaker 4: He's a great guy. You know, the media got their
Speaker 4: own perception of how Oldell is, But to me, Odell's
Speaker 4: like the big bread I never had. He's just great guy,
Speaker 4: does everything for you, always making sure you're straight, always
Speaker 4: joke and always climb to always make sure you gotta
Speaker 4: smile on your face. And that's actually kind of a
Speaker 4: guy that we need in the locker room, to be
Speaker 4: honest with.
Speaker 10: You, Pries. Sports media and sports culture puts a heavy
Speaker 10: emphasis on championships and de emphasizes the regular season. So
Speaker 10: when you're virtually guaranteed the spot in the playoffs, what
Speaker 10: keeps you and this team pushing, you know, as hard
Speaker 10: as you guys do during the regular season in these
Speaker 10: final few weeks.
Speaker 4: Uh, But when it's his job and everything gets uh
Speaker 4: looked at, everything is great. And I think at the
Speaker 4: end of the day, you just want to be great.
Speaker 4: You don't want to be you don't want to go
Speaker 4: out there put in the battle film. You don't want
Speaker 4: anybody to be able to say, yeah, we got one
Speaker 4: on you. You just want to be yourself. You want
Speaker 4: to be dominant, You want to be fearce. You want
Speaker 4: to be fear You want to go into the playoffs
Speaker 4: and knowing everybody has the mindset of we gotta play Baltimore.
Speaker 4: So I think when we go into those last four games,
Speaker 4: we're looking to just dominate everybody like everybody's on our list.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Patrick Queen. You're listening to the Ravens
