1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Really like, Uh, where we're at right now. I think 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,680 Speaker 1: it's the second time we've gone through the installation of 3 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: the package, and I love, love the room and really 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: excited to you know, take this thing all the way 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 1: into mini camp and then build for the third time 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,119 Speaker 1: that they'll go through it and training camp. With that, 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: I'll open it up to questions. Coach, can you told 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: about so many young corners you have, you know, oppositely Glory, Yeah, 9 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, like a Rob Rob initially just come to 10 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: my mind when you said that. I think he's been 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: doing really well. Uh, and they're all competing, you know. 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 1: It's it's hard when you sit there and look at 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: all the different corners right now because of how early 14 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: it is. You know, we haven't even had a practicing 15 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 1: pad yet, and also they're not in their top training 16 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: camp fall shape yet. So but what I've seen, I 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: really do like, I love that room, and I think 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: we got the best secondary coach in the league. It's 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: your own unsince. I'm excited for that room. You went 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: through a year last year where it seemed like you 21 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: were trying to find a new corner every year. Yeah, 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: what kind of lessons did you learn of trying to overcome. 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I know it's don't don't go to door dash to 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: find a backup corner. No it Uh. I think that 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, if you just everything's in perspective that you 26 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: have to have a flexible enough scheme that, uh, you 27 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: can make some different changes if you have a guy 28 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: that hasn't had much playing time or has been a 29 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: backup or whatever, that you can you can make some 30 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: different calls to help that player out. But I mean, 31 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: football is this tough profession. And you know, it's just 32 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: like I talked about corners all the time, offense cordners 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: talked about wide receivers. You know, so everybody's you know, 34 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: drafting wide receivers, you know, up top part of the draft. 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's a great challenge. You mentioned before, 36 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: what what do you like about him money outside? That 37 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: was Yeah, when they drafted him last year, he was 38 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: seen as a as a as an inside guy. Yeah, 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: I think that from what I've seen, my evaluation with 40 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 1: it is, uh, the game is slowing down for him 41 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: like it is any rookie going into his second year. 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 1: But when you put him outside, I think it slows 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: it down even more. You know from being inside because 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: there's it's like walking in the middle of the street. 45 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: You know, when you're inside compared to outside you're just 46 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: standing on the sidewalk, you can see things a lot better, 47 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: a lot easier when you come in. Um. You know, 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 1: everyone says, okay, weeks to bring the pressure package. That's 49 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: what he believes in me. Can you just give a 50 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: quick thumbnail on what your philosophy is as far as 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: I mean, it's easy to say pressure. I mean a 52 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: lot of guys like pressure, but you analytically do it 53 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 1: more than anyone makes it me. So, what is your 54 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: philosophy about what I want to do to the offense? Well, 55 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: I think that you just really answered the question is 56 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: is you want to dick take to the offense and 57 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: sitting instead of sitting there and let them dictate to you? 58 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I think that you know, this game's 59 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: of adjustments and mash ups and everything else, but I 60 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: would rather them have a headache and stay out. You know, 61 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: five nights before we play, I'm figuring out, you know, 62 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We try to present different looks 63 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: every time we play, because you know, pressure does break 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: pipes and that's that's that's our philosophy that uh, you know, 65 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: if you have a great quarterback, uh, you wanted me 66 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: to make quick decisions that you're going against. And if 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: you have an average quarterback, you want to change up 68 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: your different looks coverage wise and everything else. But at 69 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: the end of the day, you want a quarterback on 70 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: his back. And I don't care if he throws it 71 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: or not. But if you if you can just get 72 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: quarterback hits, they know you know who they're playing against. 73 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: When you present that the players the first time here, right, 74 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 1: I imagine you know what was their reaction, especially the 75 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: guys who have been here before. Like I said, it's 76 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: it's a great room. I mean I really do and 77 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: enjoy that room of players, of people, uh, coaches and 78 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: the players, and it's, uh, it's just been a lot 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: of fun. And I just tell them who I am. 80 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm just not one of those guys. It's 81 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: gonna drive home and say I wish I didn't play 82 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: max coverage there. You know. It's it's we're gonna put 83 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: the game in the players hands because this game always 84 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: has good and always will be about the players. And 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: I've said that ever since I've been in this position, 86 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: so you know, I think that as long as they 87 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: know it's situationally what you know, what we're gonna call 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: and and we'll talk about it. You know, we'll talk 89 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: about it on Saturday. We're talking about on Friday's but 90 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Saturday night meeting. You know, in these situations, here's what 91 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna call is everybody with us, and you get 92 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: a lot of success because you're putting you're putting the 93 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: game in the player's hands, and that's what it's about. 94 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: On deepens as a whole. How does it live help? Well, 95 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: I always say there's a good place for a small person. 96 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: It's behind us big long person you know in this 97 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: league because you know, it helps everything. It helps you 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 1: open field tackling, it helps separating off blocks. You know, 99 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: it helps going up for the ball. You know. So 100 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: link does play a big part of it. Now that 101 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: Joe did a great job, and Dave's with with the 102 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: draft and free agency and the undrafted free agents, it's 103 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: it's been it's been a it's been a long process. 104 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: You know, we've been here like four months now, but 105 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: it seems I was joking with Dave's the other day 106 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: it seems like we've been together for four years. But 107 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's a good thing. That's how much we're 108 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: enjoying it, joining it here and doing this Baltimore for 109 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: a while in Baltimore for while, really good things there. 110 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 1: What was your reaction when John mentioned to you that 111 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,559 Speaker 1: he was going to make a change. Uh, it really 112 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: John didn't mention it to me. We had some conversations 113 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, there was a lot of change 114 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: in the league this year, and there's you know, I'm 115 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 1: not gonna It's no big secret. I want to become 116 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: a head coach in this league. And I thought with 117 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: the different opportunities, with the different changes, that it was 118 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: you know, it was it was, it was mutual. And John. 119 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,559 Speaker 1: I love John Harbaugh. I mean he's he's a brother 120 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: and I always will be. And Mr Paschelli took care 121 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: of our family for ten years and I love that organization. 122 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 1: But when when this opportunity come about, I just thought, 123 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, from my time before when I met with 124 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: Mr Marri and Mr Tish and those guys, this is uh, 125 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: this is awesome, an awesome opportunity for us. What do 126 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: you remember about that interview and why I wasn't that 127 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: a positive experience. It's just the uh, the man that 128 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: Mr marri was, you know, and talking to him, it 129 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: was just a very comfortable conversation, uh, which he made 130 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: it comfortable, you know, because I, you know, I interviewed 131 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: for the head coaching job and I wasn't comfortable. I 132 00:06:54,279 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: was nervous, but he made it. It was just it 133 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: was really good conversation that we have for about four 134 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: hours after all the success you had in like, what 135 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: is there left for you to prove to the combat coach? 136 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: I think, you know, it'll happen if it's supposed to happen. 137 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: I you know, I tell my kids this. You know, 138 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: wherever you're at, where you're supposed to be, and uh, 139 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: that's what the way I feel here now. So that uh, 140 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: I don't you know, I don't know what what's in 141 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: store for us or down the road. And that's a 142 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: great thing about life. But I know one thing, We're 143 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: gonna have the best Thursday you've ever seen. And so 144 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: we look at it defensively. The offense. They see the 145 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: departures that you guys have, most notably James Bradbury and 146 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Logan Ryan and some of the outside perspective is this 147 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: defense is gonna gonna struggle this year. So what would 148 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: your message be to that perception? We'll see, We'll see, 149 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: you know, just wink. They've I've been called that since college. 150 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: I would say, were you you guys did draft you 151 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: know an address Shurt cavan that the fifth pick him? 152 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: What are your expectations for him as a rookie? Kind 153 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: of just to be Cavon? I mean I as a 154 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, you want every pick to be a defensive player. 155 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: But I was excited he was he was He was 156 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: Drew's number one guy, Drew Wilkins, the outside linebacker coach, 157 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: and he was my number one guy coming out of 158 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: the process. And he's gonna be a lot of fun 159 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:32,599 Speaker 1: to be around, just all of his different flexibilities, the 160 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: way we can use him in the scheme and his 161 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: pass rush ability. I think that he is uh, He's 162 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: a bright, very football smart kid that has a lot 163 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: of aspirations and goals, And don't we all want our 164 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: kids to have aspirations goals. So I just I've loved 165 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: him since day one and another young pass rusher last 166 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 1: year in And are or any similarity like or is 167 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:06,199 Speaker 1: there anything that the coach ability wise, you would relate. Yeah, 168 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: they're both great people, you know what I mean, And 169 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: they're in they're football smart, you know, but you know 170 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: there's they're they're definitely different, you know. But it's gonna be, 171 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 1: like I said, a lot of fun to watch about 172 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: this job. Are you doing a deep dive on what 173 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: the talent level is here or do you just simply 174 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: say I can work with whatever they give I think 175 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: that you do that. I think that you work with 176 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: whatever they give you wherever you go. And I think 177 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: anybody tells you any different looking at you're dead in 178 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: the eye line. Because you know, I've I've respect I 179 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: didn't know Brian, you know, you know personally, you know 180 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 1: we've been around each other. But I've respected him as 181 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: as a coordinator. It's a defensive coordinator going against the 182 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. And I've learned it a lot of football 183 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: in the last four months from it, how he looks 184 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: at things offensively. Let's don't forget he coached defense too. 185 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: He coach defense for five years. And uh, I just 186 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: I really respect him as a man. And uh and 187 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,720 Speaker 1: I know you guys can see the change of the 188 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: culture around here that that we're gonna have fun. We're 189 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna play hard, hard nosed. We're gonna run 190 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: after the football and tackle people. I guarantee you that 191 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,319 Speaker 1: that will play hard as as they can play. In Baltimore, 192 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: it seems like a great linebacker every year. I know 193 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: he's coming off injury, but what do you see from 194 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: Blake Martinez? Yeah, he's Blake's doing everything that that that 195 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: you can possibly do to get back on the field. 196 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: He's you know, he tells me he's ready to go 197 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: right now. And I know Ronnie is doing a great 198 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: job with him, and I just I really respect Blake 199 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 1: and what he's done in this league. You're actually a 200 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: very fiery guy. We all know and know that. So 201 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: just circling back to what before, Um, then the idea 202 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: that well, don't have high hopes for this defense? Do 203 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: you want to prove that wrong? Do you have? You 204 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: have a fire?
