<v Speaker 1>going to be sidelined for an extended period of time

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>as he continues to receive treatment. With Joe D currently

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>out and hospitalized, the team brought in offensive line coach

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>George Warhop to take over for the time being. Additionally,

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the team released a statement about tight end Mark Andrews.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. Head coach John Harbaugh met with the

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>media after practice and talked about all of that this afternoon.

0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:00.200

<v Speaker 3>in the summer and he came back a little bit.

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Uh you know, some complications have arisen from it. So

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 3>he's in the hospital right now and he'll be focusing

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 3>on his health for the next significant period of time.

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 2>And it's it's a blow.

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 3>I mean it's a blow because he's a great football

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>coach that he's beloved by the players, by the coaches.

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 3>He's uh, he's he's one of our time. He's a

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>top game planner, he's a top coach. He's a huge

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 3>part of our offense.

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>And he's gonna be missed very much.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 3>But we're gonna be much more concerned about his health

0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:57.800
<v Speaker 3>and his welfare and as well being going for Ford.

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>He's got his daughters back with him. His daughters have

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.000
<v Speaker 3>been a made all summer. They're the absolute best I know.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 3>He cherishes those girls. So it's gonna be okay. And

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 3>then we're bringing to George Warhop. George war Up's a

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 3>guy that actually we played against each other in college.

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Now he was at Cincinnati.

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I was at Miami, the oldest rivalry west of the

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Alleghany Mountains. It's about one hundred and thirty years old.

0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 3>That's pretty old, right, and continuous rivalry. He played every year.

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 3>The victory bell was always at stake. They won too,

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 3>we went to I can tell you I remember George

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 3>very well as a player. He does not remember me.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 3>He didn't notice me out there, but I noticed him.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 2>He was a great player.

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 3>He's been a great coach in this league, and we're

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 3>very fortunate and blessed to have him come aboard.

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 2>A statement about Mark Andrews, how is he feeling? What

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 2>else can you say about that?

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's feeling good. I would say, you know, I

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 3>You know, Mark wore's seat belts. And that was an

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 3>accident that happened, and it was pretty significant, I believe,

0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 3>and he came out of it with nothing, nothing.

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 2>At all, not a scrape.

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 3>So we're your seat belts, and we're we're thankful to

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 3>God for that, for him coming out of that's safe,

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:13.040

<v Speaker 3>we're talking about about our teams. Really, you know, he

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 3>was I kind of had some questions about his team,

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 3>and he had some questions about my team, and maybe

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>some things that were coming up with his team, and

0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 3>I had no I had no advice for him, and

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>some things up with our team, and you know, we

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 3>just that's kind of how it works, you know. So

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 3>as Joey you watch him. I have so much respect

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 3>for Brandon. I think is a great coach, great skipper,

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 3>and what a job they've done a team. So exciting

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 3>having those guys they're right there right there behind the

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>A got them right up there behind you know, with

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 3>the players they were fifteen yards away from the play

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 3>and I think they were really enjoying it, you know,

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>just like our guys would like be right there on

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 3>the dugout rail if you could be, you know.

0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's pretty cool having having those guys here.

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 3>So Steve Wilkes on the sideline today, can you talk

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>to us about your relationship with it? Yeah, Steve obviously

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.360
<v Speaker 3>another guy he wanted to come visit practice. I think

0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Steve is visiting certain teams here during training camp. And

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, like coaches do, coaches like to get out

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 3>and they like to learn, like the research, and Steve

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 3>is another coach we have tremendous respect for. Uh He's

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 3>been a guy that we've known for a long time.

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 3>And having him here and picking his brain a little

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:43.839

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Too, John or Saturday.

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.280
<v Speaker 3>Is it kind of gonna be the same philosophy for

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 3>your starters, especially for something like Lamar from the preseason

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.280
<v Speaker 3>or will you get any more guys out there? Yeah,

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 3>you know it's gonna be case by case for sure, Morgan,

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.880

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 3>he didn't divulge anything there, but there'll be headlines about it,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:17.720
<v Speaker 3>which is crazy to me.

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 2>But that's it's cool. That's a good point. Yeah, it's

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.760

<v Speaker 3>need to talk about every day. And so much of

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 3>it is just is getting getting good at what we

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 3>do in football, communicating and being on the same page

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 3>with our football. I don't have to say much to

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 3>these guys about taking care of themselves, because they do.

0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 3>They get their rest, they take care of their bodies.

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:31.920

<v Speaker 2>And let's see where it takes us.

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Every Yeah, it's an interesting it's an interesting dilemma for sure.

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 3>It's definitely not something I've ever been associated with. I

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 3>would just say, by the grace of God, George Warhop

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.080

<v Speaker 3>He doesn't know our system per se in terms of

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 3>our terminology, but he can learn that very quickly.

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 2>But he knows our techniques.

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.320
