Excited about the challenge 0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.320 in front of us, which is playing the Pittsburgh Steelers 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.680 at our stadium. Always a great challenge. A couple of announcements. 0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:31.440 Quarterback for this game. 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.680 Will be Tyler, the backup will be Josh. That's the 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:35.680 way we'll be going with it. 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.640 Beyond that, it's really not too much to talk about 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.440 knowing real injury announcement that I know it for sure 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.360 as Daryl Worley will be out of the game with 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.680 his injuries. After that, it's going to be day to 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.920 day with guys. Closer to the game, we'll know who 0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.640 can play, really out ruling anybody else out of the 0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.160 game until we see what our injury situations. 0:00:56.640 --> 0:01:03.360 Okay, what questions of Lamari is an active he will 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:09.160 be there. Macon Rudolph sort of gave their offensive a 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:09.480 little bit. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:10.360 It's been a couple of years that. 0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:10.800 You've seen him. 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:11.800 What are you seeing it for him? Now? 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.200 Yeah, I would say that. I mean he has given 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:16.840 him a jolt. You know, he's playing really well. He's 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.440 standing in there, he's making throws, he's delivering the ball 0:01:19.520 --> 0:01:24.360 down the field. Uh, you know outside inside, Uh, moving 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.880 around the pocket. Well obviously there numbers are way up 0:01:27.920 --> 0:01:29.240 in the game since he's been in there. 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.800 So yeah, he's made a difference for him. 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.480 You waited till today to make the final announcement on Lamar. 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.200 I mean what sort of nailed it. 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:36.520 Down for you? 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:38.280 Uh? 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.360 I just think you just kind of consider all things. 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:42.440 There's really not any one thing that goes into it. 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:44.920 Just all things considered, it seemed to be the right 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:47.520 thing to do, and we have conversations with Lamar and 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.080 others and make the decision. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:58.560 Lamar improved particularly in any one area this year. 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.000 Like you know that is this over? 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.400 Like what wasend out about the way he performed this 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:05.080 year most year? 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:05.760 Right? 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.200 You know that's that's a question that we get asked 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.520 a lot to try to pick one thing out, and 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:12.680 it's really hard to do that, you know, because I 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.320 just feel like there wasn't any one thing, you know 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.640 that kind of needed to be better. It's like really 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.360 most players at that level you're talking about the best 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.040 of the best. It's really the ability to improve across 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.920 the board, you know, and the collective difference it makes 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.440 from when y're to the next and to me, with Lamar, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.839 it's just kind of a natural progression. I mean, he's 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.560 he's he's always been a great player since he got here. 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:36.720 But his ability to improve across the board, I think 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:38.560 is abil ability over the course of the season to 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.679 assimilate the offense that we're in now. A lot of 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.239 things that are very similar to what we've done in 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.040 the past, but a lot of things aren't, you know, 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.720 and operating at the line of scrimmage and making certain 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.160 decisions that showed up even in this last game or 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:49.840 a big part of it. 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.280 Two, he's throwing the ball. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.640 Well, he's he's he's moving in the pocket, he's seeing 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.680 the field, he's protecting the ball, all the run game 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:57.440 checks that he makes. 0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.040 I mean, it's just there's a lot of things. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.359 Kay is good. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.720 Doesn't too much to see when you towards that the 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:09.000 other season, Well, that's probably one thing I would say 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.160 is probably uh, I mean, he's always kind of had 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.000 a single minded focus. But I I don't think I've 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:15.359 ever seen it quite like this. Uh, he's been that 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.440 way since the off season when we talked, since he 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:21.000 came to Ota, since training camp, one. 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:22.440 Day at a time, locked in. 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.360 That's kind of how he's approaching, and I think it's 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.720 it's been reflected and how he's practiced and how he's played. 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:28.919 Job. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.960 Where did you think of the Will's ball and exciting? 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.680 It's a big for your candid, just the success your team. 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:35.920 And James people both had him. 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.760 Yeah, it's been amazing. I mean, I just couldn't be happier. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.360 I it was a nail bier, you know, obviously playing 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.560 Alabama and Nick Saban and then the and uh the 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.160 players that they have. Uh, it was really it was 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.200 really amazing when that that stop got made at the 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.520 end of the five yard line. So I was just 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:54.880 thrilled for the Michigan team. Throw for Jim, throw for Jesse, Uh, 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.520 thrilled for Sharon, throw for everybody there, you know, JJ, Blake, 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.480 Corn St. Francis Guy, Saint Francis Guy made the play 0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.680 at the end there to stop the quarterback from scoring. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.000 So we got a lot of Saint Francis Academy. Guys, 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:10.000 there just couldn't have been more more more pleased. I 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:12.280 was really happy for my mom and dad. You know 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.920 that interview that they had, they were talking about switching seats, 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.360 you know, I mean that is so classic of them, 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.200 you know, actually thinking it probably did make the difference. Uh, 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.599 and my mom, I mean, the guy doing the announcement, 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.920 you guys will appreciate this. But my dad, you know, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.040 well he's kind of he's a little bit He's fun, 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:28.560 but he's a little bit polished, you know, he's he's 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.400 been an interviewed before. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:30.240 My mom. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:31.680 You put a microphone in front of her face, so 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.039 you hang out with her for a couple of minutes. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:34.520 You know, you don't even have to ask her what 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:35.960 she thinks. She's got to tell you what she thinks. 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:36.120 You know. 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.120 I think he figured that out pretty quick. So it 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:44.680 was fun to watch. I'm gonna go to the game. 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.280 I'm gonna go to the game. Take Angered and uh yeah, 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.040 we're gonna enjoy that. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.080 Thanks reaction to a game like yours in the past. 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.119 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, they uh, they've they're they're pretty excited. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.560 My dad always he's either here he always says, who's 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.520 got better than us? I mean that's like that's a given. 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:02.120 You know, we say that to the team a lot. 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.880 Our guys know the answer. We even have the T shirt. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:06.560 But uh. 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.360 Yeah, my dad always says every time we win, he 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.760 always basically says, that's that's your best win. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.279 Yet, you know, so they keep coming. 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.040 We saw Malik Cunningham out there warming up with wide receivers. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.160 I know he's a quarterback here, but what are some 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:28.040 of the skills he brings. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:28.840 In that sort of role. 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.080 I guess yeah, I mean, you know we're gonna you know, 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:32.880 he'll be up for the game. He'll be active, and 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.440 he'll be also he'll be up, you know, a quarterback 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.200 in the rotation. He'll be our third quarterback. But he'll 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.000 also be able to play some other positions for us. 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:41.679 He'll be able to play a little bit on special teams, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:43.640 whatever we decide he can do. I mean he's a 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.359 little new to that. Uh he'll be playing wide receiver, 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.320 which he's been practicing uh here and there, and uh 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:50.960 so he'll be he'll be a factor. 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:53.760 Going back to Lamar for a second, I know you 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.120 guys have a lot more than you want to do, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.520 so does he. But just think it back to the offseason, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.880 just all the un shorty surrounding him and maybe a 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:03.960 speuture with the team, and you think back to that 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.960 point and where you are now and to see the 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.520 regular season he's been able to have just what comes 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:11.000 to your mind about how happy you are from the 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.480 transition from Saint March to now. 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:15.960 Yeah, happy, very happy. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.040 Couldn't be any happier, you know, I mean, this is 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.240 this is this is the this is the outcome that 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.200 that that that that honestly that I hoped for and 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.600 prayed for, you know, and and to see it come 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:31.920 about this way not surprising, you know, I think you 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.560 never know, But I think our thought, My thought was 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.400 that it was gonna it was gonna happen, that he 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:38.880 was gonna be a Raven, just because I felt like 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:41.200 he wanted to be a Raven, but also because I 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.320 was on the outside of it, kind of watching a 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400 little bit, not being directly involved. I just felt my 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.760 feeling was Lamar wanted to be here, and and Eric 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.400 and Steve wanted Lamar here, you know, and that being 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.560 the case, it was gonna work out one way or 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.840 another somehow, And so I just was patient. You know 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.200 in my mind that when we start practicing, there will 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.760 be out there. But beyond that, I think what I'm 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.359 really excited about through all of that is just la 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:13.720 Mar's character, his competitiveness, his desire to be great. To 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.680 your point, uh, to be the best. You know, that 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.320 has never been in question, but I think it's shown 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.120 very true throughout the whole process. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.200 John, you talked on you talked on Monday about how 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.440 you're it's a two stage process at this point. You're 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.240 preparing for the Steelers, but you're preparing for the playoffs too. 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:31.240 Do you have it all mapped out at this point? 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.200 I mean do you do? You do? 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.800 You sort of know every day between now in the 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:34.800 on the playoff team. 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.200 Right, Yeah, the only question is what day we're gonna play. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:38.760 You know, it was a little bit, I'm be honest 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.440 with you, a little surprise that we played on Saturday 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:40.880 on this one. 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.600 But you know, it's fine. You just adapt. 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.360 So it's mapped out and then we'll see which day 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.120 we play. So there's a couple of maps. 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:51.840 In this finale. 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.440 Pittsburgh obviously, I mean it's a rival. Do you like 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.360 it in the fact that I mean, obviously, you guys 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.960 are number one seeded seasons gapped up, but they're playing 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.040 for something, and you guys have a I don't know 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.600 you can keep them out of the playoffs, I guess. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.480 I mean, do you like that scenario in this final? 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:07.720 Boy? 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.040 Yeah, I mean I don't think you have to be. 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:16.920 There's no lack of motivation for sure, just because it's, 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.560 first of all, it's an NFL game, you know, and 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:20.240 the guys playing in the game are gonna be given 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:22.800 it all they've got. You have to and the guys 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.280 playing the game want to win each play and they 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.400 want to win the game. They're gonna play their very best. 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.360 They're gonna play as hard as they possibly can. The 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:30.880 other part of it, you know, it's we're playing a 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.000 division rival, so you know what that goes what goes 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:35.839 with that, you know, they know us, we know them, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.079 and we know what's gonna take to win a game 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:38.640 like this, you know. 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.120 So and then that's Pittsburgh, So all those things factor in. 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.760 How creative. Maybe this is more Eric's department, but I'm 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.280 sure you have the impact on it. You almost have 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.880 to get Saturday to make sure you have coverage at 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.960 certain spots to make sure you can get the guys 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.800 off that you don't want really to see. Is that 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.320 kind of been something you're gonna have to juggle right 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.560 up until inactives or do nine even is. 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:03.120 For the game? 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.760 Yeah, I mean it's uh, it's like a It's like 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.600 a puzzle, except the p the puzzle pieces are constantly 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.520 morphing into different shapes, you know, day by day, so 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.280 by Saturday, I'm sure it'll all fit together. 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.000 The plus movie say, as a practice doesn't kind of 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.040 threat the entertenances or has it been an ast an. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.520 Age of the week as you more, and it's just 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.160 like maybe a chechny. 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:32.640 Dismas says right, big challenge, I mean big challenge. 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.240 You know Zay's been been dealing with that issue and 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.480 uh and hadn't been able to practice but still played well. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:39.959 But that's not something that you want to have to 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:40.679 happen too much. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:43.440 I mean, he needs practice, So hopefully he'll be able 0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.240 to get out there and practice tomorrow, you know, uh 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:47.120 and Friday. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:47.960 That's our hope. 0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:50.880 Joh And you've talked a little bout twenty nineteen, but 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.719 when you're planning out these next couple of weeks. I 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.040 is there anything you've planned to do differently maybe to 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.000 kind of ha against the rust factor and guy's not 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:03.000 getting my props. 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:04.880 Yeah, I mean, you know, I don't know. We put 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:06.679 up five hundred yards in that game. You know, we 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.840 just didn't score touchdowns. I mean that's really the bottom line. 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.079 And by the end of the game, our defense, you know, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.559 got a little get a little worn out against a 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.640 really good running team. So you know, it's it's kind 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.360 of a it's a narrative. We didn't we didn't. We 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.079 didn't win the game. We didn't score enough points. But 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.319 when like we weren't moving the ball, we just didn't 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.760 execute in the red zone very well. So you know, 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:28.320 that was just a football game. I think we had 0:10:28.360 --> 0:10:30.240 really good practices and went back and kind of looked 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.160 through that and notes and things like that. We practiced great, guys, 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.480 had good spirits. I think I think we had a 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.760 good game plan. We just didn't get the job done 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.480 in certain plays, you know, So that's how football goes. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.679 So not really I think more it's I guess my 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.599 long the long winded point here is that you just 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:48.600 look at where you're at with your team at this time. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.079 And make the decisions that are best as you see it. 0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.000 That was hey, coach John Harwall. We also talked with 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:58.920 quarterback Lamar Jackson. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.640 Or what's your your reaction drawn John told us that, Uh, 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.240 if you're not gonna be playing in this stuff and Alle, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:05.400 what's kind of your reaction to that? 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:05.960 Uh? 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:08.360 Yeah, yeah, I'm cool with it.
