1 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Past Podcast. It is Tuesday, 2 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: June third, and today the Ravens held an open practice 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: of organized team activities. After practice, we had a chance 4 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: to hear from offensive coordinator Tom Munkett. 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,400 Speaker 2: I know it's week two about but as anything from 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 2: that with DeAndre Hopkins, I know I probably see him 7 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 2: throughout your career, but anything since he's been around here 8 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 2: that kind of stood out. 9 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,599 Speaker 3: To you, Well, first of all, it's great having him here. 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 3: I think he's been really diligent, you know, not perfect, 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 3: but I think he's been diligent in what we do offensively. 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 3: You know, we're just trying to get him up to speed, 13 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:44,280 Speaker 3: but he's been great. 14 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 4: Have you seen. 15 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 3: Himself? Ted will on his side, I'm sure he is. 16 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 3: I'm busy calling the place. I really don't know. I 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 3: think he's not trying to be an ass. I'm just 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 3: saying that. I don't know. I'm sure he is working 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 3: with the young guys. Uh. He's a great dude. I mean, 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: he really is a good person. He understands why we 21 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: brought him here, what we expect from him to be 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 3: an outstanding player. I just think that's his nature to 23 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 3: help those guys. Just what Lettle I've seen when he's 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 3: been around those guys, he just seems to interact with them, 25 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,199 Speaker 3: you know, at a really high level. 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 5: How do you go there's so many guys who can 27 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 5: you know, mark and throw the ball teams? How do 28 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 5: you go back anywhere to get another highly decorative, talented 29 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 5: guy and instead of what does he bring not in 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 5: that regard to getting into making what you guys are 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 5: looking for. 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: Well, we'll see it stay four. But as I said 33 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 3: in another interview, I'd in the off season. I'd rather 34 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: have too much talent try to figure out how to 35 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: manage it, how to have everybody embrace their role, than 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: not have enough. So we love having another weapon. I 37 00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: thought Nelly the last couple of years did a great 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 3: job for us as our third receiver. I don't really 39 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 3: see d Hop as a third receiver. I see him 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: more as we have three starters at wide receiver. But 41 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 3: we also haven't a too tight end. So it'll be 42 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 3: interesting as we get going, especially once we get to 43 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: camp and we get the pads on how we can 44 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 3: integrate him into the offense. But we're excited, he said, 45 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: how much. 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 6: He might be able to hope things up more than 47 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 6: eight flowers too, because he's a he's a different kind 48 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 6: of receiver, different guy. 49 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: And again, can't wait till we really get to go 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: full speed and get the pads on and really see it. 51 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 3: You know, we're really we're not there yet. He's not 52 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 3: there yet, So can't wait to, uh to get there 53 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: and and really see what we got. 54 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 6: What did you like about Cooper rushing the offseason and 55 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 6: kind of seeing him. 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 5: Out there today taking a lot of the. 57 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: You know, first three games. Yeah, again, it's he's a pro. 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: That's why he's made it in the NFL as law 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 3: as he has. That's why his record as a starter 60 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: is what it is, because it's not like those guys 61 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: get a lot of reps, you know. So when he's 62 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: had his opportunities, Uh, he's done an outstanding job, not 63 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 3: a good job, an outstanding job of winning football games. 64 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 3: He knows where to go with the ball. He knows 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 3: his skill set. I mean, it's it's one thing to 66 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 3: have a skill set, it's either another to understand that 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 3: he's not Lamar. So he's got to know where to 68 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 3: go with the ball beyond time using his arm, talent, anticipation, 69 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 3: with throws and uh, you know, being able to get 70 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: the ball out and get it to checkdowns. Sorry, with a. 71 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 5: Thousand yards slash year, they're kind of woking for him 72 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 5: to do. Make him to throw or the next step 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 5: to couch. 74 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 3: Well, we just got to get him the ball more. 75 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: I mean, that's really it. The problem is we have 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: a lot of those guys like you know, he's he's 77 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 3: an unbelievable football player. You know, he's he's not only 78 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 3: an outside receiver that has elite route running skills, but 79 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 3: he's unbelievable with the ball in his hands. So you 80 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 3: have like a guy that fits two positions, really plays 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 3: two spots. Now, I'm not sure we're gonna use that 82 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 3: when it's contract negotiations that we see him as two players, 83 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: but I'm just saying that you can use him in 84 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: a variety of roles to get him the ball, which 85 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 3: allows your volume to go up. You know, he's a 86 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: volume catch guy. You can use him in novelty screens 87 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 3: getting him the ball down the field. So I expect 88 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: him to take another leap, you know, in terms of 89 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: you know, his consistency. But you know, when you make 90 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 3: it to the Pro Bowl or you're an all pro like, 91 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: you're pretty good, You're pretty good. 92 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 5: I don't know how you look at everything every own season? 93 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 2: Was there something kind of home getting on or about 94 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 2: people review or in particular area like the you. 95 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: Know, the game as a whole, get a lot better 96 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 3: at great question. You know, when we started the off season, 97 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 3: we had to really drill down into being specific intentional 98 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: of what those areas were, because if you just took 99 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 3: a broad scope or perspective, you'd say, well, we were 100 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: really good at that, we were really good at this, 101 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: we were really good at that area. We were really 102 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 3: good at this, and yet that wasn't always the case 103 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: in certain parts of what we did. So we just 104 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 3: really tried to drill down as to how the things 105 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 3: that we do, how do we do them better? How 106 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: do we function at a higher level. Obviously we started 107 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 3: to get the penalties cleaned up, how do we function 108 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,480 Speaker 3: better at the line of scrimmage, from our operation to communication, 109 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 3: and really hone in after looking at last year, what 110 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: our guys do really well? What is lamar like like, really, 111 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 3: that's that's really it? Why waste time? I felt like 112 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 3: we did that last year. I felt like we first 113 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 3: couple of games all the off season of what we did, 114 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 3: we kind of wanted to see it and it wasn't 115 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 3: good enough. I mean it really wasn't. So who are 116 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 3: we really so we can come out of the gates fast. 117 00:05:54,760 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: About the advantage having two tight ends to ends have 118 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: more than that which he works at Charlie. But just 119 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: the fact of what Mark and and say, how do 120 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 2: you think that worked out last year? And do you 121 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 2: think things can change with with what. 122 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 7: You can do with that? 123 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 3: Well, it works out great because both of those guys, 124 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: first of all, they're good friends and they're selfless. Like 125 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 3: that's not easy, you know. I mean, I know we 126 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 3: played a lot of twelve personnel, but there's also you know, 127 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 3: when we go eleven personnel, one thems in the game. 128 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: And they're both very capable guys. So Coach Goats does 129 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,679 Speaker 3: a great job every week of how do we rotate 130 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: those guys? Where do we have the targets aligned? So 131 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: those guys feel like they're getting their opportunities. So it 132 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: starts with them. I mean, they're the ones that make 133 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 3: that decision that you know, they're selfless, and I think 134 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 3: it gives us you know, first of all, I'm fired 135 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 3: up the back. They're all here, okay to run it 136 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: back with those guys. And you know, I see as 137 00:06:57,960 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: very being very similar to last year in a lot 138 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: of ways, is because I think that's our best grouping Todd. 139 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 4: Coming into the season, it was so much going on 140 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: with the offensive line filling three different starter spots, the 141 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,679 Speaker 4: fortunate passing coach d obviously DA made it a challenge 142 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 4: going into the season. How is that different now with 143 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 4: less moving parts along the offensive line going into this year? 144 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you'll have to ask those guys. I mean, 145 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 3: what a great job you know, Trevelle did, Coach Warhop 146 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 3: did our players. You'll have to ask those guys, you know, really, 147 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: because they're the ones that did it. They're the ones 148 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 3: that went out there, let alone the new starters, you know, 149 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: and those guys embracing their role. But that since I've 150 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: been hen even before I got here, it feels like 151 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: the next old lineman just steps up. That's why you 152 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 3: draft players, That's why you develop, That's why you hope 153 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: that over the years you're good enough to let those 154 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: guys develop and then when it's their time, be it 155 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 3: Daniel or hell, it took Patrick a little bit longer 156 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: you know, to get that opportunity. But even guys in 157 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: the past, with Simpson and before I got here, powers 158 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: like let those guys continue to develop and have some 159 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 3: other guys there in the wings. But what a great 160 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: job that the coaches did and our players did of 161 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 3: just you know, moving on. That's not easy, you know, 162 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: a new voice, new players, But what a great job 163 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 3: they did. 164 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 5: We saw six full start pailies going on cant it 165 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 5: might have been more than that today. 166 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 7: Any idea of what's going on in terms of that 167 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 7: of sickness, and that was one of the things the 168 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 7: end of the last year. 169 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,119 Speaker 5: I was conning on it's a lot more opially cleaning 170 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 5: up the penalties. 171 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not very good. Now, Well, one thing I 172 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: told the guys that what we can't do is, first 173 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: of all, we have a lot of guys repping. So 174 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: the more you rep guys, you know that it's going 175 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 3: to put an onus on a lot of different guys, right, 176 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: and some guys that, to be honest, probably won't be 177 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: playing for us. But that's a freaking excuse. Okay. The 178 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: reality is we can't give in to just go into 179 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: one cadence. That's an easy solution. The easy solutions will 180 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: go on one every time, right, blah blah blah blah 181 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: blah blah. Set hut. I mean, is that the best 182 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: way to do it. I'm not trying to be I'm 183 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: just being real with you. So we've got to work 184 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: it now. Now is the time for us to work 185 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: multiple cadence, right, because that was one of our things 186 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 3: in the off season. How do we get better at 187 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 3: multiple catenes without without jumping and flinching as much?

We're gonna continue 190 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 3: to chart it. And the guys that continue to get penalties, 191 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: they'll struggle to get on the field. 192 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 5: There's a chance that you guys go into this season 193 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 5: with a good chance that you guys go in the 194 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 5: season with a rookie kicker.

But you still win for 342 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 8: a Pro Bowl season. Thus, w what is that kind 343 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 8: of kiddy confidence about how you can involved with what 344 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 8: you can be in this offense with even more downfield pargets. 345 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 7: It just showed me I could unlock a whole another 346 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 7: level of my game and I haven't unlocked it yet. 347 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 7: So once we start hearing those downfield passes more, I 348 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 7: think it'll get up it. It'll be a lot more 349 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 7: explosive players between me and a shot.
