00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: Just to shout out to our friend Rachel Yaffi and

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: she goes through some some hell things that she's dealing with,

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: and our prayers are with her that God would heal

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: her completely. We pray that what question do you have?

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: All eyes are.

12
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: One this game, but you hope We were talking a

13
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: little bit about Tampa. Do you think about it or

14
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 2: try to gage anything about you know, the upcoming game

15
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: of whether it's going to change anything, or have you

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: heard anything about that. I haven't heard anything. I'm trying

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: to gauge Allison's apartment complex right now because we don't

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: really have word. We know the power is still out.

19
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: We don't know if they're underwater or whatever, if they

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: give the car. She got a car down there, so

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: we're hoping not underwater, but so we got two things

22
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: going on there. We don't know much about either at

23
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 2: this point. You've been really good inside the red zone.

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: Obviously got Derek henry Wood anything dress, don't skim back

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: or anything to be so successful that Yeah, probably all

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 2: those things tought to me. You know, being good in

27
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: the red zone usually does start with running the ball.

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: It does go next probably you know you got to

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: block people and protect, but goes next to scheme for sure,

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: because you know, it's kind of a different kind of

31
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: a scheme game that get downer because things happen so

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: much faster. And thirdly, it ends up being about extended plays,

33
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: which we've been good at as well. So all three

34
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: of those areas our offense is doing a real nice job.

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 2: You got to try to keep it going.

36
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: Going on with that.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: Yesterday you asked me munking about the red zone. We

38
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: talked about how the packful. The discussion ars after the

39
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: one in the game where you said you guys are

40
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: just trying to win a game when to make field

41
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: goals off. We just need to talk a bit about

42
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: that conversation if you remember that from last year and

43
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: won the game, and just what kind of was the

44
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: proposit that discussion. Yeah, it seems like that's the century ago.

45
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: I don't remember, don't remember the conversation that well, probably

46
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: had one, you know, and we didn't. We'll kick the

47
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: field goals if we have to, but we sure we

48
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: want to score the touchdowns. I do remember. Also, if

49
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: if you remember, we were coming into that game, we

50
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: were coming off the Pittsburgh game where we had the

51
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: disappointing loss to Pittsburgh, and we we had something. We

52
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: had a we had a team meeting in the in

53
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: the chapel there at the at the resort we were at.

54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: It was an old basically an old monastery seminary kind

55
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: of the type of thing, and they had a beautiful

56
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: chapel and we called it the U the Chapel of

57
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 2: Truth because we had to put some truth out there

58
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: about how we were playing and what we needed to

59
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: do to go ahead and get right, you know. So

60
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: I remember that meeting. So there's a lot of meetings. Yeah,

61
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: John O fill years out of elevations. Do you anticipate

62
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: our lead to see is this his time? Because I

63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 2: know you need a number three back right. Definitely a possibility.

64
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: I practiced full. So we'll see where we see where we.

65
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: Go with that.

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: We have a plan and it'll be obviously announced, you

67
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: know when we get to Saturday with the reporting of

68
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: the elevations and all that. Hey, coach, I know that

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is probably your main rival, But because Washington is

70
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: better now than they've been in the past, and because

71
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: of proximity, could this be sort of a budding rival

72
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 2: where you may be more so between the fans and

73
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: the teams because you guys don't play each other then, Mark, Yeah,

74
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. It's really fun. I mean

75
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: I feel I'm sure that everybody's excited in the region,

76
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: you know, the d mvuh. It's it's cool. It's fun.

77
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it's about sports is to have fun,

78
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: you know. For the fans, I mean, we we take

79
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: it as life and death and and to us on

80
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: a given day it kind of feels like it is.

81
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: But in the end, it's it's a it's a great distraction.

82
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: It's a great thing to have fun with. I hope

83
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 2: people have a great time around the Ravens, you know,

84
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: and the Commanders and everybody else in the league. I

85
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 2: hope they enjoy it. I hope it's something that gets them,

86
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: you know, gets their mind in a different place sometimes

87
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: and they can enjoy it. So to whatever extent that is,

88
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: that's great for us. It's a rivalry because it's our

89
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 2: next game. We do respect this team. They're very good,

90
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: we're playing it and they're tough, physical outfit, you know,

91
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: so we're looking forward to the challenge of that and

92
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,000
