Speaker 1: Welcome into Raven's press past. Today, we'll hear from head
Speaker 1: coach John Harball as he has his first Monday press
Speaker 1: conference of the season. Here's coach Harball.
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate you guys being here game week. Guys
Speaker 2: are excited, good work day to day. What questions you have.
Speaker 3: We didn't see more cancers out there, and you said,
Speaker 3: don't push the panic put right still.
Speaker 2: To you, right, we're still not pushing the panic button.
Speaker 2: We should see him out there Wednesday, So yeah, what
Speaker 2: elsell sall hunt you out there obviously before listen bus
Speaker 2: be full go with this winter or is he still
Speaker 2: ramping up? Yeah? I mean I think we'll see what
Speaker 2: he does Wednesday, and all that stuff right now becomes,
Speaker 2: uh really becomes what you see as far as practice
Speaker 2: and what you see on the on the injury report,
Speaker 2: we'll probably tell you everything you need to know. That's
Speaker 2: always the best indicator because you never can't really predict
Speaker 2: exactly what guys are gonna be able to do. So
Speaker 2: we'll see what they can do. The th.
Speaker 3: Of this guy is back like one two and then
Speaker 3: this is the.
Speaker 2: That that is my understanding of the rule. You have
Speaker 2: to designate they have to be on your fifty three
Speaker 2: man roster, and the third quarterback can only come in
Speaker 2: after the first and second quarterback have been ruled out
Speaker 2: of the game. That's my understanding some months, this particular
Speaker 2: team at your right mark, I'm at it's both, you know,
Speaker 2: have a really good feel for this team. I really
Speaker 2: like this team. Work, ethic, attention to detail, all the
Speaker 2: things that you look for as a coach. This team
Speaker 2: is done, you know, every day in practice, meetings, all
Speaker 2: of it. Uh, then you go play games and you
Speaker 2: and you get you can find out where you're at,
Speaker 2: because you really never know where you're at as a
Speaker 2: team until you play games, and then it's like a
Speaker 2: new beginning and then you start over a little bit. Hey,
Speaker 2: this is where we're at, and this is where we
Speaker 2: need to go from here. How different.
Speaker 4: Playing home and not the way of the last year?
Speaker 1: Different?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's Uh, it's different for sure. Playing
Speaker 2: at home home opener is always exciting, especially when it's
Speaker 2: the opener, you know, that's exciting. We love having our fans.
Speaker 2: We we we can't wait to see our fans in
Speaker 2: that stadium. I know they're gonna be loud. I know
Speaker 2: they're gonna be excited. I really believe that the Ravens
Speaker 2: fans understand how valuable they are, how disruptive they can be,
Speaker 2: you know, to an opposing offense. So we need that
Speaker 2: we count on that when we play at home. So, uh,
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to seeing it, John, facing persons at
Speaker 2: people quarterback. Is that the certainly either game one?
Speaker 3: How many defense did right exactly?
Speaker 2: I mean we're turning over every stone, Jeff, And so
Speaker 2: you look at all those things that you just mentioned,
Speaker 2: and uh, anything else we can think of. Really, Uh,
Speaker 2: you do go a little bit by coordinator history and
Speaker 2: pedigree a little bit, so all those things factor in.
Speaker 2: But really the focus, especially in the opener, has got
Speaker 2: to be on you, yourself and your team. You know,
Speaker 2: It's really not about the opponent per se as much
Speaker 2: as how we execute, how we run, how we operate,
Speaker 2: how we play, play the way we we've envisioned ourselves playing.
Speaker 2: That's what we're really going to be focused on. Would
Speaker 2: that be true no matter who you were playing or
Speaker 2: is that particularly in the case that would be true
Speaker 2: no matter who we're playing. Absolutely any opener and really
Speaker 2: any game to different degrees, but especially in the opening game.
Speaker 5: Johnna Lamars has some really good season opening performances. Is
Speaker 5: that I know you probably would like a picion to
Speaker 5: come out there with not a whole lot of idea
Speaker 5: maybe relative to other games, what might be on the table,
Speaker 5: and to execute.
Speaker 4: What is it kind of say about what he's done
Speaker 4: in his office, it's done over yours.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I mean that's great, That's what that's we
Speaker 2: hope for. You want your quarterback to beyond point and
Speaker 2: ready to go. Lamar is our quarterback, and I expect
Speaker 2: him to be on point, ready to go. He has
Speaker 2: been in the past to your point, and he I'm
Speaker 2: sure he expects that of himself. And I think everybody's
Speaker 2: got to go out there and just put their best
Speaker 2: foot forward, play the best they can, not have a
Speaker 2: lot of anxiety, just put it out there and let
Speaker 2: it rep hold out.
Speaker 4: Indeed, almost and starters for all the preseasons excited when
Speaker 4: the wind seem a talented you have.
Speaker 2: The right very excited about that, just like just like
Speaker 2: you are, just like the fans are, we're all any
Speaker 2: any of us who care about you know, the Ravens
Speaker 2: are excited to see all the guys out there on
Speaker 2: the field together you know, and it's gonna be a
Speaker 2: meaningful game. So yeah, of course there's an there's an
Speaker 2: element of we don't know, we haven't seen it yet
Speaker 2: at all, uh, in a game situation. So I'm as
Speaker 2: excited about every as every as everybody else is to
Speaker 2: see it happen.
Speaker 3: Is Marlin still.
Speaker 2: He is on schedule? Yeah, Marlin's right on schedule. He's
Speaker 2: doing great, Johnny.
Speaker 3: This question as close to that you got down fifty
Speaker 3: for me Eric to say Friday, how he likes how
Speaker 3: the team got out of training camps help wise, and
Speaker 3: are you generally pretty pleased with the depth that you
Speaker 3: see out there and what do you have and the
Speaker 3: options you have as the you know, the mere positions.
Speaker 2: I am. I feel like it's a very good roster.
Speaker 2: We're deep. I mean, I know that people have their opinions,
Speaker 2: rosters get ranked and all that, don't really pay too
Speaker 2: much attention to it. Though by the very fact that
Speaker 2: I bring it up, you know that I've read a
Speaker 2: few things and uh, you know some of the things
Speaker 2: you take personally. Of course, I'm sure the guys do,
Speaker 2: but I believe we have a really I'm excited about
Speaker 2: the roster and the guys and the team, and I'm
Speaker 2: just excited to go start playing some games.
Speaker 5: Probably a pretty sure question because you don't know what.
Speaker 5: We don't know how the special team tools are going
Speaker 5: to affect just how you guys do things.
Speaker 4: But I mean, couldn't be situation where it's just because
Speaker 4: of how it plays out for you guys league wide
Speaker 4: where age you just change your practice schedule around to
Speaker 4: emphasize special teams anyway, because it's not they don't have
Speaker 4: as meanable impacts as the previous years because the new rules.
Speaker 2: Right, first of all, it's a great catch. Was that
Speaker 2: your phone? That was a great catch? Isn't that amazing? Uh?
Speaker 2: And asking the question right along? Uh, you know what,
Speaker 2: we we have a way of doing things, a process.
Speaker 2: It won't change too much. I think within that you
Speaker 2: know where you spend time, where your reps go. That'll
Speaker 2: be week to week in terms that we're playing. We're
Speaker 2: playing a great special teams outfit. This was the number
Speaker 2: one ranked a Goslin team last year, the number two
Speaker 2: d v O d v A team and special teams.
Speaker 2: They've got you know five and you know their fifth
Speaker 2: and six year veterans all over their their core group
Speaker 2: right there. They know how to play. We're gonna have
Speaker 2: our hands full, so yeah, we have to emphasize special teams,
Speaker 2: especially this week, just to make sure that you know
Speaker 2: we're doing our part, and so that's what we'll be doing.
Speaker 1: We expect.
Speaker 2: If I could spit it out correctly.
