Speaker 1: Welcome into Ravens Press Pass. Today we'll hear from offensive
Speaker 1: coordinator Todd Munkin, defensive coordinator Mike McDonald, and special teams
Speaker 1: coordinator Chris Horton.
Speaker 2: Let's start with Monk.
Speaker 3: Going against the Cleveland defense.
Speaker 4: Obviously, you see the numbers are all up there, But
Speaker 4: what stands out to you when you're looking out there?
Speaker 4: I guess kind of what the challenge is?
Speaker 2: Acre.
Speaker 3: No, First of all, it is a great challenge playing there.
Speaker 3: That's number one. They do a great job of challenging
Speaker 3: you schematically in all areas as you get ready in
Speaker 3: terms of your game plan, they challenge you, and they
Speaker 3: do it with tremendous players. But it's one thing to
Speaker 3: have tremendous players and the way they play, I mean
Speaker 3: they play hardy. So it's gonna be a great challenge
Speaker 3: for us and we're excited to go.
Speaker 1: How what does it mean you to go back to
Speaker 1: Cleveland giving your history there?
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't no, you know, that was four years ago.
Speaker 3: Basically in some ways I wish I would have done
Speaker 3: it better. You know, there's there's some of that that.
Speaker 3: The hasms were great, j W. Paul front office was great.
Speaker 3: We just didn't do it well enough. I didn't do
Speaker 3: it well enough, so that part of it. But I'm
Speaker 3: excited to go back. I'm a raven and that was
Speaker 3: four years ago.
Speaker 5: Is there any It's kind of dumb way to put it,
Speaker 5: but put extra motivation in that regard because you know
Speaker 5: it didn't really go when you wanted to vote.
Speaker 3: No, there's no motivation is to play better on offense
Speaker 3: and to execute at a higher level and stack plays.
Speaker 3: You know you can't go score fumble and then you
Speaker 3: go four straight possessions putting the ball in the ground.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what motivates me. It's not you know,
Speaker 3: it's not going back to Cleveland. It's the product we
Speaker 3: put on the field consistently, starting with me how I
Speaker 3: do it, and then our players taking the plan to
Speaker 3: the practice and then to the field because we've seen
Speaker 3: what it looks like, so now we've just got to
Speaker 3: continue to improve that. That's the motivation.
Speaker 6: Lamar is fumbled ball four times three, I mean, hasn't
Speaker 6: lost everything.
Speaker 2: One of the ways fumble four times? Is that a concern?
Speaker 2: Is that something you have to address with them?
Speaker 3: Sure, it's always it doesn't matter whether it's Lamar or
Speaker 3: any quarterback in terms of their ball security in the pocket,
Speaker 3: outside the pocket, and you know it's coming. The more
Speaker 3: it ends up on the ground, I mean, it's there's
Speaker 3: no question there's showing that to their defensive players. So
Speaker 3: it's a point of emphasisis week of all of our players.
Speaker 3: We can't can't turn the ball over, can't put it
Speaker 3: on the ground. It puts us puts us all at risk.
Speaker 4: He didn't end up throwing down field very much against
Speaker 4: the ball over What happened to sort of makes that
Speaker 4: the case.
Speaker 3: Some of it was, you know, early in the game
Speaker 3: we did the first two drives, we hit you know,
Speaker 3: seam throws or a pocket throw to get it, and
Speaker 3: we had another opportunity late late in the game. But
Speaker 3: some of it we were trying to get the ball out.
Speaker 3: There was a situational part. There was others we did
Speaker 3: have opportunities or we were trying to get it down
Speaker 3: the field and we just didn't end up getting to
Speaker 3: it either by protection route, and some of it was
Speaker 3: by design that we were trying to stay a little
Speaker 3: bit ahead of the head of the chains.
Speaker 7: Did they do something different to take away than the
Speaker 7: run and over time Lamar and.
Speaker 2: Money said.
Speaker 3: Some of it. They did. They got some bigger people
Speaker 3: out there that that made it a little more difficult.
Speaker 3: Got to do a better job of scheming it and
Speaker 3: calling it, that's for sure at the end. But no,
Speaker 3: we certainly and there's part of it that we didn't
Speaker 3: execute well enough. So it's all the above, but it
Speaker 3: starts with me and how we do it and having
Speaker 3: a much better plan and giving us a chance to
Speaker 3: execute at a much higher level.
Speaker 1: What is the message to the offense this week?
Speaker 2: You know some of the three is.
Speaker 1: A new offensive system. After a game like that, do
Speaker 1: you kind of say, all right, you know we're still
Speaker 1: we're still in the early stages of growing, or how
Speaker 1: do you kind of talk to.
Speaker 2: Them about that?
Speaker 3: All the above. You don't want to overreact, but you
Speaker 3: don't want to just scrub it under the rug because
Speaker 3: it was just a week ago. We went to the
Speaker 3: Bengals and played really, really well and function at a
Speaker 3: really high level on the road. So we have it
Speaker 3: in us, So how do we carry that week to week?
Speaker 3: How do we install it, game plan it the right
Speaker 3: way so our guys understand what to expect and when
Speaker 3: we get there, or we get those opportunities, we have
Speaker 3: a chance to execute a high level. That's really what
Speaker 3: it is. At times, we have too much drag. Too
Speaker 3: much starts with me. I mean, I'm in charge of it.
Speaker 3: We have too much drag, you know. And there's a
Speaker 3: lot of reasons why that is that it really doesn't
Speaker 3: make it. You got to clean it up and get
Speaker 3: better at it and take it to the field. Because,
Speaker 3: like I said, we've two weeks in a row. We've
Speaker 3: taken the opening drive and gone down and scored, and
Speaker 3: then it carried over the Bengals and then you know,
Speaker 3: it didn't you know, we had certainly an opportunity on
Speaker 3: that second drive, and then we just sputtered. Then we
Speaker 3: just never got that mojo back. And got to find
Speaker 3: a way to get that. Got to call it better,
Speaker 3: got to execute better. That's that's the way it works.
Speaker 6: What are some of the.
Speaker 8: Rod strokes ways of contending with the Browns defense. I
Speaker 8: know that they're aggressive, They've talked about how they really
Speaker 8: want to make Jackson uncomfortable. What are some strokes ways
Speaker 8: of you know, going against that defense.
Speaker 3: Maybe, well, first off, it.
Speaker 2: Their goal.
Speaker 3: They're trying to make every quarterback uncomfortable. Like every defense is.
Speaker 3: I mean that the idea is if you make the
Speaker 3: quarterback uncomfortable, then it's difficult for them to operate. So
Speaker 3: I understand that part of it. Our job is to
Speaker 3: try and make it where he's not uncomfortable. It's really
Speaker 3: actually pretty simple in football. They're trying to make your
Speaker 3: quarterback uncomfortable. We're trying to make him really comfortable, and
Speaker 3: then we'll see, you know, that's really that's really the
Speaker 3: the chess match. They're really you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: And we got really good players, and they got really
Speaker 3: good players, so let's go to just play hard. You know.
Speaker 3: I just I just think they uh, you know, I
Speaker 3: think they've done a nice job of their acquisitions in
Speaker 3: the offseason, bolstering their defense, obviously bringing in you know, Jim,
Speaker 3: and they're bringing the new defensive scheme. It's got a
Speaker 3: new excitement and new enthusiasm, and then when it gets
Speaker 3: backed up in games, it even just raises another levels.
Speaker 3: That makes sense, Like you know, all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: that confidence level just continues to raise as there's a
Speaker 3: belief system, then it gets you know, translated onto the field,
Speaker 3: so then it just raises like Okay, this is what
Speaker 3: it looks like. So that's our job to uh, to
Speaker 3: do everything in our power to not to not to
Speaker 3: not have that happen come a Sunday.
Speaker 4: How much part is it to put the focus that
Speaker 4: you want to on Lucky Garrett and you know they
Speaker 4: have Zivarius on the.
Speaker 3: Other on sure, well they've got they've got good players.
Speaker 3: So it's and it's not even just him. I mean
Speaker 3: they're very active at blindbacker. I mean they like to
Speaker 3: bring delp it, you know, they they bring multiple players,
Speaker 3: they get edgy, they make you defend you know, a
Speaker 3: number of players, number of coverages, schemes. Uh, just in
Speaker 3: terms of just making sure your sound And to me,
Speaker 3: the biggest thing is how do you stay out of
Speaker 3: those long, long yarded situations? How do you stay out
Speaker 3: of the chains? And when you get opportunities to be
Speaker 3: able to make plays down the field? That's that But
Speaker 3: that's not just them, that's everybody. How do you stay
Speaker 3: out of chains? And yet how can you still be
Speaker 3: explosive to give yourself a chance? And that that's the
Speaker 3: challenge playing a good defense.
Speaker 5: I know it's probably different for every receiver.
Speaker 2: Vote what do you want them?
Speaker 5: I guess how do you want them to improve im more?
Speaker 5: They can Tellibless coming and you know Oamar might not
Speaker 5: be able to get to the end of his drop
Speaker 5: before he's got to kind of.
Speaker 1: Get rid of that.
Speaker 3: Sure, we did an outstanding job at Cincinnati in terms
Speaker 3: of when they did come, you know, in terms of
Speaker 3: our recognition, and some of it was still good on Sunday. Uh,
Speaker 3: we just weren't as clean. We weren't as clean in
Speaker 3: some of the protections something to do with them. We
Speaker 3: weren't as clean in terms of our routes. We weren't
Speaker 3: clean in a lot of areas in terms of the calls.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's all all of us. I mean,
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, you own it. We
Speaker 3: got offensively okay, we got to coach better, we got
Speaker 3: to attack the week better, and we got to execute better.
Speaker 3: It's really that simple.
Speaker 9: You know, how difficult is it to keep with a
Speaker 9: game play, especially passing what you want to do when
Speaker 9: you might be without two of your top receivers.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, first off, that's why Nelson Aguilar is here.
Speaker 3: You know as a player, Devin Duvernet has made plenty
Speaker 3: of player in the past, and and Zay is a
Speaker 3: fantastic rookie, you know, only going to get better. So
Speaker 3: Mark Andrews, I think for the first time and three
Speaker 3: or four weeks is feeling you know better. I mean,
Speaker 3: I think he's moving better. I mean really, this is
Speaker 3: the first week I've seen, you know, in probably four
Speaker 3: or five that I feel like he's at full speed,
Speaker 3: you know, So that that's a positive. That's a plus
Speaker 3: going in this week and every week that we're together.
Speaker 3: I really believe we're going to continue to do it better.
Speaker 3: And what we'll.
Speaker 1: See next up defensive coordinat Mike McDonald after us, you
Speaker 1: see them changing a lot from a run scheme standpoint
Speaker 1: without him or or he's just kind of plug and play.
Speaker 2: Probably more of the latter, just you know, small sample
Speaker 2: size with the one game, but yeah, sticking to the
Speaker 2: sticking to their normal plan. Very potent run game, you know,
Speaker 2: best some of the best in the league. So we
Speaker 2: expect the same. Like we obviously saw a vision.
Speaker 7: I say, how would you use this past week if
Speaker 7: you fabled is his versatility and other keep spreads and stuff.
Speaker 2: It's good how he fagel with him and where he
Speaker 2: plays and you need all that, uh, Yeah, Yeah, I'd
Speaker 2: say that's that's a fair assessment. Again, we talked to
Speaker 2: his versatility for forever now it seems like but definitely
Speaker 2: allows you to have that flexibility on a week to
Speaker 2: week basis on how much. I don't think the plan
Speaker 2: was to put him there the whole time, you know,
Speaker 2: just and you see how games go so and then
Speaker 2: where we're at personnel wise as well, you know that
Speaker 2: will be driving those decisions from from a week to
Speaker 2: week and then throughout a game.
Speaker 5: Basis like a seamless or as compress that you mean
Speaker 5: by their Orley's translation from cornerback to safety and be
Speaker 5: able to basically get every down defender for you guys
Speaker 5: on Sunday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great point. Really, Seamless, I guess is
Speaker 2: a great way to explain it. You know, throughout the
Speaker 2: spring and the off season, it felt like a season
Speaker 2: vet back there and understanding kind of the eye progression
Speaker 2: and they overlap and the things are trying to create
Speaker 2: in the secondary. Just had a great feel for it
Speaker 2: from the get go. So seamless is a good way
Speaker 2: to describe it.
Speaker 5: When you have a guy like him at or moon
Speaker 5: play that many steps in the game how do you approach.
Speaker 10: This week just in terms of workload or making sure
Speaker 10: they don't get.
Speaker 1: Tired of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you don't want anybody playing one hundred snaps,
Speaker 2: but obviously the game unfolded a certain way, and you
Speaker 2: know you gotta do what you got to do to
Speaker 2: try to win the game. But you know it's a
Speaker 2: tough league going back and seven days later and sometimes
Speaker 2: you know, three or four days later having to play
Speaker 2: a game. So these guys are rows. Harves is a
Speaker 2: great job setting the schedule up, and we have a
Speaker 2: bunch of recovery things that guys are taking advantage of.
Speaker 2: Everyone has their own, uh individual kind of plan on
Speaker 2: a week to week basis. But those guys who are
Speaker 2: talking in their little sore but they'll they said, they'll
Speaker 2: be ready to go.
Speaker 4: You're blitzeeing at a higher percentage than you were last year.
Speaker 4: Is that is that driven by the fact that you're
Speaker 4: missing a lot of guys on the edge? Is it
Speaker 4: more about sort of the matchups your face so far
Speaker 4: and what's what's pushing that right now?
Speaker 2: Well, it's something that we want the ability to do
Speaker 2: at any given point. So you're you're to have the
Speaker 2: threat of of blitz on either side or up the
Speaker 2: mill or double edge or whatever. You're always want that
Speaker 2: threat to an offense. So, uh, that's just part of
Speaker 2: our identity. I think you might not have seen it
Speaker 2: last year for several reasons, you know, probably what we
Speaker 2: felt like our team strengths were and how how good
Speaker 2: we were it the different you know, you know, kind
Speaker 2: of pressure packages that they were able to get to.
Speaker 2: So I think it's more probably it's probably a it's
Speaker 2: still a game plan idea, but it's something that you
Speaker 2: know we're definitely gonna carry and have the ability to
Speaker 2: get to at any point in time.
Speaker 7: Like watching the Browns, did you see a clear difference
Speaker 7: with Watson and so comfortably he was in his play
Speaker 7: last week than you have thrown them when you're watching
Speaker 7: in the first two games.
Speaker 2: It's tough to tough to gauge is comfort level? Uh,
Speaker 2: definitely the effectiveness and the efficiency see of the offense.
Speaker 2: You know, you can obviously go by the stats and
Speaker 2: the score and things like that, but I feel like
Speaker 2: they're finding their stride and I don't know who they
Speaker 2: want to be. You can definitely have definitely for sure, like.
Speaker 5: What impressed to you about how they use samar Cooper
Speaker 5: kind of hunting your match up. Just his ability to
Speaker 5: the line up anywhere and be successful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do a great job. It's u you don't
Speaker 2: see that a lot of receivers playing all those different
Speaker 2: types of positions and they find different ways on a
Speaker 2: week to week basis to scheme them open to your point,
Speaker 2: and uh, you know it's it's it's credit to him,
Speaker 2: you know, it's probably not It's not easy to be
Speaker 2: a receiver and learn all three spots, sometimes four spots
Speaker 2: and learn the whole route treet from there. So definitely
Speaker 2: a dynamic player that we're have to account for and
Speaker 2: understand where he's at at all times.
Speaker 10: Intangibles that some of these guys bring in Patrick Queen
Speaker 10: and we saw him, you know, take responsibility for loss
Speaker 10: or say after this game, what if you or after
Speaker 10: this last game, what have you seen from him in
Speaker 10: that aspect of personality? Why is getting more comfortable to
Speaker 10: being a leader.
Speaker 2: Come out just with p Q. It's it's the p
Speaker 2: Q that that that we know and love. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's nothing different that we expected. It's nothing out of
Speaker 2: the ordinary from him. It's to me, it's uh, the
Speaker 2: guy that that we know, you know, on a day
Speaker 2: to day basis, and i'd speak to the whole defense
Speaker 2: and team rather, you know, the the mentality and the
Speaker 2: things and the discussions that we had after the game.
Speaker 2: Not that you're proud to hear it, but it's it's uh,
Speaker 2: it's it's reflective of the character of of the guys
Speaker 2: we have on the team. Everyone's looking inwardly. We're humble
Speaker 2: and hungry enough to look for things that we can
Speaker 2: do differently on individual basis and eventually make our team better,
Speaker 2: you know, to take the next step and become the
Speaker 2: team you want to be over the course of the year.
Speaker 2: You know, it's or three games in going into a
Speaker 2: fourth game. We got hopefully a bunch more after this,
Speaker 2: and uh, really, I think that attitude is reflective. You know,
Speaker 2: throughout the locker room.
Speaker 4: Their their defense has obviously been tremendous so far. Is
Speaker 4: that something that you pay attention to it all? Or
Speaker 4: does it still at any competitive aspect in your players you think?
Speaker 4: Or is it you don't play.
Speaker 2: Them, So it's not really on the rate, you know,
Speaker 2: our focus is really just how good can we how
Speaker 2: good can we be as our as our defense and
Speaker 2: what we can do to win the game. Obviously, they
Speaker 2: got great stats right now, so I got to give
Speaker 2: credit where credits due, but we got we have enough
Speaker 2: to worry on our side of the ball.
Speaker 4: As far as what do you want to kind of
Speaker 4: improve upon. I know the Colts did run thirty sometimes
Speaker 4: that can get those yards.
Speaker 2: But as far as the.
Speaker 3: Defense, what do you want to see improvement in that aspect?
Speaker 2: Well, to your point, there was definitely a standard here
Speaker 2: in the run defense. And you know you can't give
Speaker 2: up four explosive runs. I mean, that's just the fact
Speaker 2: of the matter. Different there's really a couple of them.
Speaker 2: We lost the edge on on two on two runs
Speaker 2: on the twenty four yards and then we can play
Speaker 2: the interior runs better. On the stretch cutback and the
Speaker 2: split flow play, we just need to play that play better.
Speaker 2: And we missed a tackle on that one as well.
Speaker 2: So we've talked about those plays. Uh, the guys, it's
Speaker 2: very clear on what happened those plays and who's responsible
Speaker 2: for it. We'll leave that in house and we just
Speaker 2: keep attacking it, you know. And uh, this is definitely
Speaker 2: a challenging run game that you know that brings to
Speaker 2: the table. So it's all hands on deck this week,
Speaker 2: as you know, as with every week.
Speaker 10: About calling him, what's up the progress and especially at.
Speaker 9: The crack right.
Speaker 2: Well, he had a he had a he had a
Speaker 2: great game and was able to get the ball off
Speaker 2: the quarterback the one time that you know, probably could
Speaker 2: have changed the game there at the end of the half. Uh.
Speaker 2: But it's it's uh, I'm not surprised. It's what we
Speaker 2: expect from Kyle. You know, he's a guy that we're
Speaker 2: gonna move around and we expect, you know, to influence
Speaker 2: the game from multiple positions, and the expectations is to
Speaker 2: do it on a weekly basis. I mean, he's that type.
Speaker 2: He's that type of player. So moving forward, just keeping
Speaker 2: him you know, don't don't reach for plays. Let the
Speaker 2: plays come to you. But you know, play with the
Speaker 2: effort that he playing with, just like the rest of
Speaker 2: the defense, and keep attacking the ball so we can
Speaker 2: we can take it away and give it back to
Speaker 2: our offense.
Speaker 7: You need to see and what you convince you that hips.
Speaker 2: That day you're ready to play, well, well, I can
Speaker 2: tell you this, he's an impressive guy. I mean from
Speaker 2: the day that we came into to visit and just
Speaker 2: getting to know him and talk to him about ball,
Speaker 2: and he's already got third down thoughts and stuff like that. Uh,
Speaker 2: but it seems like he's been in this defense for
Speaker 2: you know, however long. But it's a he's impressive, similar
Speaker 2: like when Rocon showed up, You're just like, okay's this dude.
Speaker 2: He knows his stuff. So he's an impressive guy away around.
Speaker 2: Obviously a great football player from what we've seen already
Speaker 2: on the practice field, and you know, it's got a
Speaker 2: great track record, so you know, we'll see how it
Speaker 2: shakes out over the course of the rest of the week.
Speaker 2: But I feel really great about him.
Speaker 1: And lastly, special teams coordinator Chris Horton.
Speaker 2: Good to see everyone.
Speaker 6: Hope everyone's doing well for us. You know, I'm just
Speaker 6: having an opperture unity to really just kind of analyze
Speaker 6: the the last three weeks of UH of our games.
Speaker 6: It's about the little things. It's about it's about the
Speaker 6: little details, and that's really what we're chasing.
Speaker 1: UH.
Speaker 6: We got a division game this week. We're looking forward
Speaker 6: to just really going on and trying to play our
Speaker 6: best football game. We still haven't put that together, but
Speaker 6: we're doing some good things and uh, and those things
Speaker 6: are showing up on the tape, but we got to
Speaker 6: really find some consistency. And that's all a part of
Speaker 6: what we're doing. Questions up and down, great punts, Uh, the.
Speaker 8: Strategic that it was supposed to be high, and.
Speaker 6: You know, overall, you know, I thought, I'm you know,
Speaker 6: we think he's he's done a good job. He's done
Speaker 6: a good job so far of really just kind of
Speaker 6: doing what we've asked him to do. And uh, and
Speaker 6: then there's some some things that we could always work on. Right,
Speaker 6: it goes back to that consistency thing that I'm talking about.
Speaker 6: It's just it's it's everywhere. It's across the board. It's
Speaker 6: not it's not just Jordan and punting. It's it's us
Speaker 6: covering the punt. You know, it's just just knowing just
Speaker 6: doing our jobs and understanding how to get those things done.
Speaker 6: But that punt at the end of the game, obviously,
Speaker 6: that's an opportunity for us to flip the field. Uh,
Speaker 6: the drop was a little bit the drop was a
Speaker 6: little bit high, and it didn't it didn't go where
Speaker 6: it should where it should have went. So again we're
Speaker 6: just trying to chase those little details. I think overall,
Speaker 6: after three weeks, Jordan has done a pretty good job.
Speaker 5: Chris, what are what are specifically some of those little
Speaker 5: things beyond obviously consistency.
Speaker 8: Trying to lay up data that will will then.
Speaker 6: Example to a these little things, you know, some of
Speaker 6: the little things. Just making sure everyone's everyone's doing their job,
Speaker 6: you know, being where we're supposed to be, uh in coverage.
Speaker 6: You know, we do all we have responsibilities, and we
Speaker 6: haven't really truly uh fanned the.
Speaker 3: Field like we need to.
Speaker 6: So we spend a little bit more time just making
Speaker 6: sure that we all understand that.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 6: It's it's easy to kind of sit in the media
Speaker 6: room and coach it and do all those things, but
Speaker 6: it's another thing to go out into a game and
Speaker 6: actually get those things done. We've been pretty good at it,
Speaker 6: you know, So we just got to keep we just
Speaker 6: got to keep chasing those little details, and we got
Speaker 6: the guys in the room to uh to get it done.
Speaker 2: Are you allowed to essentially on side kick a free kick?
Speaker 2: Because I know you had your hands.
Speaker 8: Team on there with Devin on the on near the.
Speaker 5: Side of the line of scrimmage on.
Speaker 6: The free kicks, right, Yeah, I mean they can they
Speaker 6: can pretty much hit any ball that they want in
Speaker 6: that situation, right, and that with that time. Uh, that's
Speaker 6: kind of what that's kind of what we were thinking.
Speaker 6: You know, we thought we were under the two men
Speaker 6: and Warner and you know, we kind of did what
Speaker 6: we did with the instructions of ZA and we're just
Speaker 6: putting the right guys out there. They hit the ball,
Speaker 6: the ball, you know, pop a ball up. We want
Speaker 6: guys out there that can fill that balls.
Speaker 8: The situation that you had to practice a lot of
Speaker 8: slings a very unique kind of instance, the timing everything ball.
Speaker 6: Oh, I think that you know we've practiced, we've practiced
Speaker 6: that situation.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 6: Just but it you know, when you get in those
Speaker 6: situations gets real, real chaotic. You're trying to get the
Speaker 6: right guys out there, right because normally you'd put your
Speaker 6: kickoff return team out there, right, and then so that
Speaker 6: team's different than what your hands team is. So y,
Speaker 6: you know, you gotta run around, you gotta grab all
Speaker 6: the guys and kind of and kind of do that,
Speaker 6: and you know, and so it's just one.
Speaker 2: Of those things.
Speaker 6: Man, we we missed that opportunity but uh, again, that's
Speaker 6: it's one thing we're definitely working on.
Speaker 2: How much of the injuries really kind of impacted your unit?
Speaker 1: Now Thailand and lands On IR you know, the special
Speaker 1: teams to play.
Speaker 6: It's it's huge. It's it's across the board, right, It's
Speaker 6: just it's just not my unit. Uh, you know, it's
Speaker 6: just a it's across the team and we kind of
Speaker 6: we kind of just we kind of just roll with it, right. Uh,
Speaker 6: Like I said last week, if you're on this team,
Speaker 6: you belong on this team. When you get your opportunity,
Speaker 6: you just go out and you just try to play
Speaker 6: your best football. And if if we do that, it
Speaker 6: it has affected us a little bit because the guys
Speaker 6: that normally do play for us, they're playing a lot
Speaker 6: more offense, they're playing a lot more defense. But we
Speaker 6: don't we don't kind of use that as an excuse.
Speaker 6: If you're here and you're on this team and we
Speaker 6: put you out there, we're expecting you to go play.
Speaker 9: Well.
Speaker 4: There's what happened on the the thirty two yard punk
Speaker 4: return the big Guy against your Ays. It looked like
Speaker 4: Jordan Bisley executed the kick that he wanted. The time
Speaker 4: you have guys in the area that was it's one
Speaker 4: person in a position.
Speaker 6: Or what happened to Oh you know, I thought the punt.
Speaker 6: The punt was great. The punt, it was a great location.
Speaker 6: It was good on the punt, and we just we
Speaker 6: just again, we just had guys not going to that ball, right.
Speaker 6: I think when you look at that play and we
Speaker 6: sit back and we watch those plays, Uh, Isaac's there
Speaker 6: to go make the play, right, but he's really the
Speaker 6: only guy on the left side. Uh, so we were
Speaker 6: missing two players that should have been over there on
Speaker 6: the left side. We just gotta guys got to continue
Speaker 6: to just do their job when they're out there and
Speaker 6: get to the football and we'll and we'll be fine.
Speaker 5: Chris, it looks like Jalen armor Davis when he kind
Speaker 5: of is able to separate the supplies downfield. I mean
Speaker 5: it made really pops, what are you kinda see from him?
Speaker 6: And that the reason, you know, it's it's one of
Speaker 6: the things with Jalen, right, he is he is a
Speaker 6: fast guy, and uh, when you put him out there,
Speaker 6: you want to you want to put him in position
Speaker 6: where he could he could utilize his skill set and
Speaker 6: speed is one of them, So when he is out
Speaker 6: out there as a gunner, you know, we want to
Speaker 6: make him plays. If he's in a single, we're not
Speaker 6: allowing to get down there and make plays. You know,
Speaker 6: we're playing them on We're playing them on kickoff. We
Speaker 6: got him playing all over the place as a gunner
Speaker 6: on our own part.
Speaker 2: Return.
Speaker 6: He can do a lot for us. He hasn't played
Speaker 6: a lot of football, right, so he's still considered a
Speaker 6: young guy that we're trying to get to play up
Speaker 6: to the standard, and he has done a good job
Speaker 6: so far.
Speaker 1: Next, let's go into the Ravens locker room.
Speaker 6: How much have you talked about maybe having out so
Speaker 6: you already gotten one dawn that you guys really jump
Speaker 6: get these wins.
Speaker 9: I mean, obviously it's big, you know our division. You know,
Speaker 9: you look at last year and everybody you know finishing
Speaker 9: the tie. So just be able to get those wins
Speaker 9: early and especially going the road, it's a key to
Speaker 9: to to what we want to do in our future.
Speaker 9: So you know, we got to take one game at
Speaker 9: a time and one day at a time, and that's
Speaker 9: what we're doing.
Speaker 4: Or have you been what have you thought about the
Speaker 4: way the team has responded to last week and got
Speaker 4: to turn the fogus to this match against us.
Speaker 9: You know, we looked at the film. You know, obviously
Speaker 9: we wasn't pleased with a lot of things that went on,
Speaker 9: and a lot of it was self afflicting wounds, and
Speaker 9: those are things that you can correct, right so, you know,
Speaker 9: going back to the drawing board this week and just
Speaker 9: making sure the communication and everything that we got going on,
Speaker 9: you installs and stuff like that, that we're doing the
Speaker 9: best job that we can to get those things done.
