Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is Sunday,
Speaker 1: September fifteenth. The Ravens dropped to oh to two on
Speaker 1: the season after losing to the Las Vegas Raiders twenty
Speaker 1: six to twenty three at M and T Banks Stadium.
Speaker 1: It was a disappointing loss for the team and after
Speaker 1: the game, we heard from head coach John Harball.
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate you being here. Disappointing loss, tough loss, could
Speaker 2: have gone our way for sure, but we didn't get
Speaker 2: the job done. Oh and two, we we're gonna play
Speaker 2: a seventeen game season and we will be defined by
Speaker 2: the next fifteen games. So that's gonna be our objective
Speaker 2: to play the best fifteen games we can be the
Speaker 2: best football team we can be, and if we do that,
Speaker 2: then we're gonna have a really good season, have a
Speaker 2: shot to win a lot of games and get in
Speaker 2: the playoffs and make a run. So that's what we
Speaker 2: have to do. Big picture, short term, we got to
Speaker 2: go back and look at every little thing, continue to
Speaker 2: clean up the things that we know we can clean
Speaker 2: up and get better at that make a difference in games.
Speaker 2: And we'll continue to work very hard.
Speaker 3: To do that.
Speaker 2: What questions you have one of the Brandon Stevens, probably
Speaker 2: Brandon Steven Steve a cold Did you have a.
Speaker 3: Good advantage point?
Speaker 4: You've seen that, and what was kind of your view
Speaker 4: outing that?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Well, I saw that one. Uh you know, I saw
Speaker 2: the Marlon one on the uh the big screen. So
Speaker 2: until I see the TV copy, I'm not gonna be
Speaker 2: able to say, because on the big screen it looked
Speaker 2: like he had his hands completely off of him.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I wouldn't know neither one of those what
Speaker 2: to say to those two guys for better technique. It
Speaker 2: looked like perfect technique from where I was, But I'll
Speaker 2: have to look at the TV copy to see what
Speaker 2: the official thought he saw what he called that?
Speaker 5: Uh? What did you make of the second half defense?
Speaker 7: Did you guys have up with like forty yards in
Speaker 7: the first half?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 8: What changed?
Speaker 9: What?
Speaker 5: What did you see today?
Speaker 7: Just start doing anything different?
Speaker 2: I think the penalties extended drives, that's the biggest thing.
Speaker 2: If those drives don't get extended, you got them backed up,
Speaker 2: you're gonna be off the field and they don't have
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make plays. But you know, when the
Speaker 2: drive gets extended, you know, for some reason, then you
Speaker 2: play you know, really good playmakers, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: the play gets made, pass gets made here and there
Speaker 2: and all that. But you know, we held up really well.
Speaker 2: We were fighting right down there. You know, you got
Speaker 2: a fourth and forever and a pass interference takes it
Speaker 2: out of the one that's you know, usually gonna score
Speaker 2: from the one. So uh, that's just that's just hard
Speaker 2: to hard to control that one.
Speaker 7: John similar influence on your offense, mean seem like especially
Speaker 7: you know, laying the fourth quarter penalties kind of setting
Speaker 7: your own drives back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we had the uh, the false start, so those
Speaker 2: really shouldn't happen. You know, those are things that we
Speaker 2: just got to just take a deep breath and and
Speaker 2: clean and that shouldn't happen. You know that we're better
Speaker 2: than that. We will be. I I I'm not worried
Speaker 2: about those going forward, but we've got to make sure
Speaker 2: we're diligent and intentional about not having those false starts
Speaker 2: that would have extended drives, especially the one coming out
Speaker 2: there in the mid fourth quarter with the quarterback sneak
Speaker 2: holding on Ronnie. I mean, I don't know, I just
Speaker 2: have to look at it and see it didn't you
Speaker 2: know nothing. I think I could really coach him on
Speaker 2: that I saw on the replay, But maybe there's something
Speaker 2: more there than me Ci John no One.
Speaker 9: The challenge is today, were you surprised and the decision
Speaker 9: in the end.
Speaker 2: Of both of those, Uh, well, the one in the
Speaker 2: first half, you know, that was close. I think if
Speaker 2: they I think if they you know, if I thought
Speaker 2: that one was at a real chance. But it was
Speaker 2: also we had two time outs. We have plenty of time.
Speaker 2: Almost felt like it was calling a time out and
Speaker 2: kind of giving our guys a chance to get a
Speaker 2: breath of air, which I wanted to do, so it
Speaker 2: was worth taking a shot there. The other one was
Speaker 2: such a high leverage play, so you had such an
Speaker 2: opportunity and we went so fast. I just thought it
Speaker 2: was worth in the heat of battle taking a shot
Speaker 2: at I would have hated to have, you know, seen
Speaker 2: it later that he was clearly off the ground and
Speaker 2: not done it, you know. So that's the challenge of
Speaker 2: the speed of the situation sometimes.
Speaker 9: Sure, I know you're.
Speaker 10: Gonna look at tape going forward, but are you considering
Speaker 10: any cold could you consider any changes up.
Speaker 11: Front along the offensive?
Speaker 5: Line.
Speaker 9: I know Rosen gard Gers it is is already rotaken in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just gokinda looking try to coach the
Speaker 2: guys and keep getting better with the guys. You know,
Speaker 2: we were I look at the tape and we'll see,
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, we're always gonna play the best players.
Speaker 2: You know, that's always part of it. If that is
Speaker 2: what your question is, We'll always try to do that.
Speaker 9: On the process of the challenges.
Speaker 6: If that's something that you're calling upstairs to have something
Speaker 6: here from whether or not it's worthy of challenge.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, you do.
Speaker 2: And you know, just it's going fast. I mean you
Speaker 2: know they're run to the line, they're gonna snap it
Speaker 2: to try to make sure you can get the challenge off.
Speaker 2: So it's not like you have all day and you
Speaker 2: don't get much of a look.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 2: Just the high leverage of it. I just felt like
Speaker 2: it was on me. I just felt like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a shot here and see if we
Speaker 2: can see if we win this one, because it was
Speaker 2: a big chunk play. I mean, you know, you're not
Speaker 2: gonna be undefeated on challenges over the course of the season.
Speaker 2: I don't think that's the difference in the game. It
Speaker 2: would have been nice to have the time out, but
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta take a shot sometimes too, nine
Speaker 2: years since you had if you go over to kind
Speaker 2: of charge it's kind for you.
Speaker 11: What is kind of the message that you get to players?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the message that we define in our season. You know,
Speaker 2: when it's going to not be defined by everybody, it's
Speaker 2: gonna say that we're not any good. You know that
Speaker 2: we're done, that the season's over after two games. Uh,
Speaker 2: that's what's gonna be said. We understand that, you know,
Speaker 2: it's but they're not here, they're not inside. No one
Speaker 2: inside's gonna say that. We got to take care of
Speaker 2: our stuff, take care of our business, take care of
Speaker 2: our work.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 2: We know that we're a good football team and we've
Speaker 2: got to go keep getting better and better and better
Speaker 2: and and define the season and by the way we play.
Speaker 13: You had that incident involving the man on the chain
Speaker 13: game collapse on your sideline. What what did you see
Speaker 13: and did it affect your guys being just so close
Speaker 13: to your people.
Speaker 2: I'm just grateful that he he was revived, you know,
Speaker 2: thank thank God, Thank thank God. First of all, cause
Speaker 2: there was there was prayers being made. Promise you, there
Speaker 2: was prayers being made right there touching him and for
Speaker 2: God to bring him back, bring him back, bring him back.
Speaker 2: And uh and God answered that. And Uh for the
Speaker 2: the MS people, I mean they were on the spot.
Speaker 2: They they jumped right into action. Man, they were heroes
Speaker 2: out there today. Uh. You know that gentleman has been
Speaker 2: on our sideline. He's a wonderful person. You see him
Speaker 2: every week and to see, uh, do those guys do
Speaker 2: their job and him come back like that was just
Speaker 2: it was a miracle.
Speaker 9: How great Justin has been throughout his career. He seems
Speaker 9: like a fifty pleasure. Our field goals have been a
Speaker 9: struggle getting back to last year.
Speaker 4: What do you say to him?
Speaker 9: And I'm sure you have the utmost confidence send I'm
Speaker 9: attained to send him out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right upmost confidence in Justin, absolutely utmost confidence and
Speaker 2: them to send him out there every time we need
Speaker 2: to kick and aulmost confidence that he's going to be
Speaker 2: the best, the best at it and do a great
Speaker 2: job and do what he does and he's our guy.
Speaker 2: We believe in Justin for sure.
Speaker 3: John.
Speaker 14: That the game time touchdown drive that they had, did
Speaker 14: you feel like the coverage was pretty good for most
Speaker 14: of that drive and Belarius and Adams are just just
Speaker 14: really good players or what did you kind of make
Speaker 14: of their Really?
Speaker 2: I thought they made a few plays. You know, we
Speaker 2: have him fourth in forever, you know, and then we've
Speaker 2: got a passing interference call in the end zone. That's
Speaker 2: what I thought, That's what I saw, all right, Okay,
Speaker 2: thanks thanks.
Speaker 1: We also heard from veteran linebacker at Rokwan Smith. We're
Speaker 1: going to.
Speaker 10: Know this is a position you s never thought for
Speaker 10: this team would be in a one too.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 14: What's kind of your thoughts heading on.
Speaker 12: Heading forward with this team?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 15: Absolutely, Uh, it's the past now when you think about it.
Speaker 15: But all we can do is respond. And I think
Speaker 15: that's what defined each and every human being. How you
Speaker 15: define and you know, adverse moments and I know the
Speaker 15: guys in the locker room, uh, and how we f
Speaker 15: how we feel about it. Trust me, it sucks more
Speaker 15: for us than anyone else. And I just know we're
Speaker 15: gonna put our head down and keep going and you know,
Speaker 15: correct our mistakes because there's no way you know we
Speaker 15: should be owing too.
Speaker 11: But hey, it is what it is.
Speaker 10: We w uh, John I'm talking about the influence and
Speaker 10: some of the penalties had on extent uh most faces drives.
Speaker 11: Did that?
Speaker 7: Is that demoralizing? And do you feel like that affected
Speaker 7: your performance later in the game.
Speaker 15: At the end of the day, the refs make a
Speaker 15: call regardless UH if I agree with it or even
Speaker 15: if some of them don't agree with it. It's what
Speaker 15: they call on the field and we have to go
Speaker 15: with it. But definitely sucks in some of those moments.
Speaker 12: But it is what it is.
Speaker 13: Real.
Speaker 16: The biggest suggest that you saw a second happen to
Speaker 16: just being able to move the.
Speaker 5: Ball, social work or to the first.
Speaker 15: Uh, I think just extended extended the plays. I think
Speaker 15: extended plays uh penalties and you know some of them
Speaker 15: guys winning, uh winning their matchups, and that just goes
Speaker 15: back to each and every individual.
Speaker 17: So why you weren't as pleased.
Speaker 13: As the communication uh the last did you feel like
Speaker 13: that at least improved to sleep on?
Speaker 15: Yeah, the communication definitely improved uh from last week, but
Speaker 15: there was still uh some laps and communications and uh
Speaker 15: different situations throughout the game. And it's just something that
Speaker 15: we gotta improve on with the noise and everything like that.
Speaker 15: So it just gotta each and every guy, and it
Speaker 15: starts with myself making sure each and every guy got
Speaker 15: the call, echo and the chicks and whatever the case
Speaker 15: may be. So but we'll get better at that for sure.
Speaker 5: You played, you were going fought? Just a howar to
Speaker 5: go with?
Speaker 7: What was kind of going through your head?
Speaker 5: And if if not, what was your message.
Speaker 3: To to guys in a lot?
Speaker 15: Yeah, uh, not a lot going through my head, more
Speaker 15: so just how this was gonna go. But as always,
Speaker 15: chin up, chest out, you know, regardless of what we're
Speaker 15: going through, what I'm going through, at the end of
Speaker 15: the day, we have a job, and our job is
Speaker 15: to win, uh and be the best football team we
Speaker 15: could be, and we haven't been that just quite So
Speaker 15: it's about us looking ourselves in the mirror and how
Speaker 15: we're gonna respond from here regardless of what everyone else says.
Speaker 15: Is more so about what each and every guy believes
Speaker 15: in the locker room and actually go out and showcase,
Speaker 15: uh when we get the opportunity next week. But hats
Speaker 15: off the Vegas Uh. They played it, they played a
Speaker 15: good game and they won, so hats off to them.
Speaker 1: In Peers, we also heard it from quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 15: More, what kind of goods playor have you been that
Speaker 15: you have been on team that you're probably.
Speaker 12: Never played with.
Speaker 16: Right now, you just gotta find a way to win,
Speaker 16: you know, like you said, and I use being on
Speaker 16: to you just gotta catch y'll catch our momentum and
Speaker 16: get it started right away.
Speaker 14: Or on the interception the baby and what what?
Speaker 7: What happened?
Speaker 12: Was? It?
Speaker 5: Was it the type spot to turn to put the
Speaker 5: falls or whatever you mean it?
Speaker 18: Uh?
Speaker 16: It was just a good play by both players. You know,
Speaker 16: I threw at the babyman, it was accurate. Guy made
Speaker 16: a play on it. It was just tip in forty one.
Speaker 16: Spike just made a good play on that ball.
Speaker 10: You guys on the second touchdown drives and seemed like
Speaker 10: it had so much momentum.
Speaker 9: And sort of founder rhythm.
Speaker 7: Where where did you guys get away with that?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 11: What change did you feel?
Speaker 17: S Uh?
Speaker 16: I can't call it, you know, like you said, we
Speaker 16: had the momentum. Uh, I believe we up fourth quarter
Speaker 16: twenty three thirteen. Usually we just finished teams about there.
Speaker 16: You know, we just go to hit to get the
Speaker 16: ball roll and just go to punishing people. But I
Speaker 16: guess they gas had the best of us today, And
Speaker 16: I say.
Speaker 5: So, why do you feel that after throwing out ten
Speaker 5: and being the fourth quarter you were too conservative?
Speaker 7: Do you feel that they just made more plays?
Speaker 18: What kind of was your diagnosis of what happened before?
Speaker 16: No, I just feel like we just need to do
Speaker 16: what we do. You know, at the end of the day,
Speaker 16: those guys made plays. You know, they got us off
Speaker 16: the field. We gotta find a way to stay on
Speaker 16: the field.
Speaker 12: How long we saw you.
Speaker 9: You talked to earlier in the week about Max Crosby
Speaker 9: and the way he plays. He make a lot of
Speaker 9: plays today did resulting in a lot of negative plays? Somy,
Speaker 9: Do you feel like those kind of impact of the
Speaker 9: guys as success.
Speaker 16: Yeah, we gotta find a way to those impactful guys.
Speaker 16: We gotta find a way to you know, just knock
Speaker 16: 'em out the game, get him out the game, you know,
Speaker 16: not literally knock 'em out, but just find a way
Speaker 16: to just protect and just get him out of the game.
Speaker 16: You know, just not let them just run around and
Speaker 16: do what they do.
Speaker 10: Or are you a good amount of control or pre
Speaker 10: snap action he's and is getting the right protections fall
Speaker 10: under sort your responsibility is more all in that sense.
Speaker 16: Oh, we was in the right protections.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 16: They they didn't get us on any blixes when they
Speaker 16: brought brought their blixes. He was just being an impactful player,
Speaker 16: you know that the the guy that how motive guy
Speaker 16: he was. You know we got t two sacks today. Uh,
Speaker 16: he was just doing what he was doing.
Speaker 3: Why you mention?
Speaker 5: You mentioned in your first arterial in too, you know,
Speaker 5: to get where you guys wanna be. I know it's
Speaker 5: a couple months away, but where the challenges now as
Speaker 5: you move forward?
Speaker 18: Now over too?
Speaker 16: Uh put points on the board, you know. Uh, and
Speaker 16: just finish people. Just finish 'em.
Speaker 1: You know we have the lead.
Speaker 16: Just keep scoring, find a way to keep scoring, you know,
Speaker 16: just keep milking the clock, keep doing what we do.
Speaker 16: Play raven football.
Speaker 4: Lamar is the is the guy that everybody looks to.
Speaker 4: You do you do you feel a need to maybe
Speaker 4: say more this week? I mean, will will you be
Speaker 4: trying to lift spirits? Or is it more just get
Speaker 4: back to business s?
Speaker 16: There's always business, you know. Yeah, but we gonna see,
Speaker 16: we gonna see, you know, I'm definitely gonna talk to
Speaker 16: my gods though, cause we gotta find find our moji.
Speaker 16: You know, we gotta find and and do what we do,
Speaker 16: cause that's b that's not us at all.
Speaker 5: Is that point of ware you feel you do?
Speaker 4: You feel like you guys are are still trying to
Speaker 4: find a little bit of the identity year or two
Speaker 4: of the offense at least.
Speaker 14: Sit there's first year here and so forth.
Speaker 5: Are you still, I guess try to find the floating
Speaker 5: in the offense?
Speaker 16: Uh No, I wouldn't say that. You know, we uh
Speaker 16: I believe we got young guys on the team, you know,
Speaker 16: on our offense this year. Uh, we just gotta do
Speaker 16: what we do still, you know, cause Derek was running
Speaker 16: the ball tremendously that day. You know, he had a
Speaker 16: uh a few uh burst out there from a few
Speaker 16: players that he burst out on. And the line was
Speaker 16: doing they doing their job. We just got to find
Speaker 16: a way to just get the ball rolling and it
Speaker 16: stay consistent.
Speaker 4: Three vials on the first.
Speaker 12: Half just kind of work.
Speaker 11: Wasn't working for uh for you guys offense a little
Speaker 11: un respective.
Speaker 16: Uh we wasn't scoring, but the field goals.
Speaker 18: It's part of football, you know.
Speaker 16: They those guys did the same thing and they had
Speaker 16: like six points, you know, we had nine. Uh we
Speaker 16: wanna score, but uh we put points on the board
Speaker 16: next time we touch.
Speaker 6: Down two more more when you're getting the ball back
Speaker 6: after they tie up the game, I mean getting improve.
Speaker 18: On the side.
Speaker 6: Was their communication on ensuring to get him off, get
Speaker 6: keep him away from you, or to just maybe specifically
Speaker 6: try to protect against him.
Speaker 13: Was a communication like that entering the field.
Speaker 16: I can't I can't call it. You know, I'm not
Speaker 16: the one who not having to block him or anything
Speaker 16: like that or talking on the line. But we had
Speaker 16: to write protection up. You know, sometimes you gotta have
Speaker 16: those one on one fights. Sometimes we gotta windows.
Speaker 1: In the locker room. Today we heard from a number
Speaker 1: of players, including kicker Justin Tucker.
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, obviously I left I left one out there,
Speaker 6: left three points out there that uh, you know, could
Speaker 6: have been important down the stretch, you know. But something
Speaker 6: that we are going to continue to do is just
Speaker 6: go to work. You know, it's a long season. This
Speaker 6: hurts right now. This uh you know, this loss hurts.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm disappointed in my own performance. But at
Speaker 6: the exact same time, uh, you know, thankfully you know
Speaker 6: my and I mean this sincerely, like I can come
Speaker 6: from a place of gratitude where I have personal experience
Speaker 6: where I've had to, you know, bounce back from tough
Speaker 6: performances in the past, and I'm gonna draw upon that.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna lean into my teammates and just like we are,
Speaker 6: We're all going to lean into each other right now
Speaker 6: and just get to work.
Speaker 7: Justin It's as you're sort of mentioning, it's so rare
Speaker 7: for you guys to start going to you know, as
Speaker 7: a team leader, what do you feel like your messaging
Speaker 7: will be not just individual performances, just about the team mentality.
Speaker 6: I think it's just so we got to keep going.
Speaker 6: You know, you just got to trust the process, just
Speaker 6: coming in and work each and every day, whether it's
Speaker 6: on the field or in the meeting room. You know,
Speaker 6: Harbes mentioned to the team right after, you know, right
Speaker 6: after the game here.
Speaker 11: In the locker room, that we just need to come together.
Speaker 6: And it's true. I mean, we've we've had, you know,
Speaker 6: experiences in the past where we have had to really
Speaker 6: grind to get going or we've really had to you know,
Speaker 6: slug it out to get our first win. But this
Speaker 6: team is is too talented, too hard working with you know,
Speaker 6: the leadership that we have, like in the locker room,
Speaker 6: and then you know, all throughout our coaching staff, we
Speaker 6: have every reason to be confident. Every little thing that
Speaker 6: we can address we will. And yeah, I think the
Speaker 6: key is just to come together and keep working justin.
Speaker 9: I know you're a confident God. The field goal miss today,
Speaker 9: and it seems like digging back to last year, the
Speaker 9: fifty plus field goals have been a little bit of
Speaker 9: an issue. Are you seeing anything or is there anything
Speaker 9: even if you don't want to say, have you spotted
Speaker 9: something yourself that may be causing this?
Speaker 6: You know, I think as as simply as I can
Speaker 6: put it, you know, And it's it's not it's not
Speaker 6: my favorite topic of discussion, but I just missed the kick,
Speaker 6: you know, and I don't want to continue having this conversation.
Speaker 6: When I go out onto the field, I'm confident that
Speaker 6: I'm going to nail every single kick no matter where
Speaker 6: we are on the field. You know, today was was
Speaker 6: no different. You Know, we got off to a pretty
Speaker 6: good start kicking the ball. The ball was coming off
Speaker 6: my foot pretty nicely. Nick was thrown back good snaps,
Speaker 6: Jordan was throwing back good holds and then you know,
Speaker 6: we like I just misfired on the one from fifty six,
Speaker 6: you know, left three points out there that we could
Speaker 6: have we certainly could have used down the stretch in
Speaker 6: this game, you know, but at the at the exact
Speaker 6: same time, trying to you know, overanalyze or dwell on
Speaker 6: a mistake or you know, a performance that is not
Speaker 6: up to our collective standard, that's not gonna do us
Speaker 6: any any good. What's what is going to help us
Speaker 6: is continuing to trust the process and you know, just
Speaker 6: come together as a team and just get to work.
Speaker 6: I mean, this is a long season. You know, we're
Speaker 6: owing too, but we have every reason to be confident
Speaker 6: we can clean up some things I can clean up,
Speaker 6: you know, I think everybody in here would say the
Speaker 6: you know, the real accountability is taking the burden of
Speaker 6: blame on yourself so somebody else doesn't have to. And
Speaker 6: everybody in this locker room is built just like that.
Speaker 6: I think we're gonna be just fine. We're gonna be
Speaker 6: a really good football team.
Speaker 1: Next up is running back Derrick Henry.
Speaker 14: Kind of the sense of the locker room.
Speaker 15: I mean, this is a team that I'm sure didn't
Speaker 15: expect the FETA into and now find itself in that position.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 18: I mean, we definitely wanna be on too. I wanna
Speaker 18: go out to the start, but you know, we just
Speaker 18: gotta keep working, Kevin faith and one another. You know,
Speaker 18: it's a lot of team that's like oing too and
Speaker 18: Phosa Seas are strong and she's gotta you know, look.
Speaker 17: At it that way.
Speaker 18: You know we have slow start right now, but just
Speaker 18: keep leaving each other. Yeah, keep working and keep getting
Speaker 18: better in the winds. Will getting the win calls soon.
Speaker 9: It look like the run game really started to pick
Speaker 9: up a little bit in the second half there. What
Speaker 9: what do you feel like changed, if anything, compared to
Speaker 9: what it was doing, what you guys were doing it first.
Speaker 18: I just think execution. I was all executing in the
Speaker 18: rung game. Me doing my job, and you know the
Speaker 18: guys that are blocking, I'm doing theirs. You know, it's
Speaker 18: the run game takes you know, all all eleven and
Speaker 18: they we did a g great job of executing and
Speaker 18: get that started.
Speaker 3: When when you touched at that touchdown, was there a
Speaker 3: feeling like alright, we're we're finishing these guys.
Speaker 18: I mean I felt like we started to get mymentum
Speaker 18: were executing, move on the ball, you know, just things
Speaker 18: are going away. We wanted to as far as in
Speaker 18: the rung game, and I thought the guys did a
Speaker 18: great job. And uh, you know, I thought we were
Speaker 18: you know, uh we we had a lot of momentum,
Speaker 18: you know, once we got going.
Speaker 4: Derek, when that the false start, and I know it
Speaker 4: was something that you don't wanna do. Did you know,
Speaker 4: did you think the count was a little early?
Speaker 5: Is that why you were moving forward a little bit?
Speaker 17: Well?
Speaker 12: Can you take us through what it happened.
Speaker 18: I wasn't moving forward. I just moved my legs outside.
Speaker 18: I was trying to get my balance. And you know
Speaker 18: he's he starting right after. But I wasn't false start out.
Speaker 18: Oh okay, move my leg So it used to call
Speaker 18: it a false start.
Speaker 17: It is what it is. I'd be better just from
Speaker 17: your standpoint, you when you were talking about execution then
Speaker 17: finding that momentum, just kind of what happened that it
Speaker 17: didn't go all the way.
Speaker 9: Through to the end.
Speaker 18: Sit again, you talked about execution on offense and getting momentum.
Speaker 6: Just from your perspective, why at times did that stall
Speaker 6: or just you know, eventually go away at the end
Speaker 6: to not get this one.
Speaker 18: But I mean they were just better team. I mean
Speaker 18: that's where they won. You know, we didn't make the
Speaker 18: plays when we needed to as a offense, when you
Speaker 18: used to go into the drum boards to get the film.
Speaker 18: You know, you know, correct the mistakes or the execution
Speaker 18: just just has to be better. But you know, we
Speaker 18: just set an extus as as the offense as a
Speaker 18: team when we needed to, and they did.
Speaker 11: That's why the one yeah got.
Speaker 3: Obviously the lost things, but the way the momentum you
Speaker 3: did start to get in the in the second half
Speaker 3: running the football, you know, a couple of long runs
Speaker 3: for you. Does that give you hope moving forward that
Speaker 3: this run game is starting to get on track?
Speaker 18: I mean, I I know eventually it'll happen. You know,
Speaker 18: you just gotta stay with it, k not not little face.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 18: You know we got help the guys blocking and they
Speaker 18: do a great job. That just a matter of time
Speaker 18: for for it to happen.
Speaker 10: So Derek can tennessee two years ago you guys start
Speaker 10: off them too, gropped out a bunch of winnings.
Speaker 7: Thanks, what kind of lessons do you take.
Speaker 18: And slow start like that?
Speaker 11: But how you kind of get back on that on
Speaker 11: the right track.
Speaker 18: I mean, these guys know how to win then went
Speaker 18: around here for a long time, so it'll be nothing
Speaker 18: I can say to them to you know, make them
Speaker 18: think any different than the anything having different. They know
Speaker 18: how to win, they know the formerly. So you know,
Speaker 18: we'll get back to it. You know, it's just a
Speaker 18: s sot'll start right now. But it's all about this execution,
Speaker 18: getting each other better, you know, uh, hold each other's
Speaker 18: accountable and turn this thing around.
Speaker 1: We also heard from rookie right tackle Roger rose Park.
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I thought we had a good game
Speaker 11: plan going in. Uh, a good week of prep, did
Speaker 11: a really good job just preparations and practice or whatever.
Speaker 11: You uh, a little bit of wanna make a bigger
Speaker 11: process on practice, you know, the way you wanna play
Speaker 11: and get improved better and better each week. And you
Speaker 11: know there's a few things we didn't execute on, you know, dependalties,
Speaker 11: if fans or bots can't happen. You know, you can
Speaker 11: make all the excuse in the world, but you gotta execute.
Speaker 8: Talk about dealing with nine, he's he's something.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Yeah, he's a great player. We knew going in
Speaker 11: that he'd be a game wrecker, So we got to
Speaker 11: do everything we can to minimize that. And you know
Speaker 11: he's gonna make plays, that's why he's out there. But uh,
Speaker 11: you know, I thought we had a good game plan
Speaker 11: going in. Like I said before, it's got to execute more.
Speaker 8: It was a big change first half second terms of
Speaker 8: me ever to run the ball. I mean, you have
Speaker 8: really opened up. What change there you got to that success?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think just starting from quarter one
Speaker 11: to quarter four, we want to implement that run the ball.
Speaker 11: We need to make sure we get twenty two back
Speaker 11: there going. And I think once that's that snowball thick.
Speaker 11: You know, once you get a couple of good hits,
Speaker 11: you know it'll start breaking open. So like I said before,
Speaker 11: just got to execute all the better things I think.
Speaker 8: I mean emotional ladies, I mean sit hero went to
Speaker 8: what I mean, it's an unfamiliar territory certain of this
Speaker 8: franchise you're just walking in. So we were the emotions
Speaker 8: like dam with the.
Speaker 17: Day a day like that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, like I said, anytime you lose, you don't it's
Speaker 11: it's a horrible feeling, especially personally as a player. You know,
Speaker 11: you wish you could have a few plays back going
Speaker 11: back on it, but you know, we can't. It's a
Speaker 11: long season, so we can't mope around. And like I said,
Speaker 11: this week of practice going to be crucial for us,
Speaker 11: just building on that. Appreciate you, awesome, thank you.
Speaker 1: We also heard from outside linebacker adafe O Way, who
Speaker 1: had two and a half sacks on the day.
Speaker 8: You take us through early on in the clean really
Speaker 8: great defensively through three just about three quarters keeping them
Speaker 8: in check and then what what changed for them to
Speaker 8: be able to last poor possession of this corn?
Speaker 12: I guess they just kept they kept doing what they
Speaker 12: were doing. They consistent running the ball, creasing us up
Speaker 12: in the middle. I thought we were stopping on you know,
Speaker 12: on the edge and stuff like that. But they were
Speaker 12: just more persistent, making like you know, the plays that
Speaker 12: we didn't want to make and they made them. So
Speaker 12: probably say that's what it was. We had our foot
Speaker 12: on the gas in the beginning, but kind of lit
Speaker 12: up towards the end.
Speaker 8: You know, just to have that ten point lead at
Speaker 8: home home opener, what are the emotions like letting that one?
Speaker 8: Can you see that one get away?
Speaker 12: Uh? It sucks, It's definitely sucks. The only only light
Speaker 12: in the at the end of the tunnel was that
Speaker 12: Dallas lost too. It lost pretty badly, so we gotta
Speaker 12: just go go back to the next week and work,
Speaker 12: you know, because it ain't no way to go save
Speaker 12: us with us, you know. So it definitely sucks. I
Speaker 12: felt like we were there, but I feel like it's
Speaker 12: best that we go through this right now, so we
Speaker 12: get all the growing pains up and then we start
Speaker 12: cruising towards the end of the season.
Speaker 8: Like a year ago, Minshaw with the Colts almost the
Speaker 8: same game they come back, he just start, you know,
Speaker 8: maybe enough plays and early on looked bad. What is
Speaker 8: it about that guy at this place?
Speaker 12: Oh, I don't know. I didn't play last last time
Speaker 12: he was here, But I guess he's he's he's a
Speaker 12: he's a he's of fighters. Yeah, I guess he got
Speaker 12: hit a few times. He muddied the picture for him
Speaker 12: a little bit, but he kept on going. Kudos to him.
Speaker 12: Had I talked to him, but uh, I felt like
Speaker 12: it was more so what we did what we did wrong.
Speaker 17: Coach Tarba said, you guys still control your own destiny
Speaker 17: fifteen games if you play the way you want, and
Speaker 17: you'll be in the postseason. What do you need to
Speaker 17: do coming off and knowing to start kind of uncharted.
Speaker 12: While he story you guys, uh, just just keep on
Speaker 12: working hard, working how Ravens do. But you know, we're
Speaker 12: gonna have to change, you know, something stuffing that we
Speaker 12: stopped s like slipping into like the little mental areas, uh,
Speaker 12: mental areas. I don't know what's gonna be. We're gonna
Speaker 12: have to look back at the film and see, you know,
Speaker 12: where we're lacking at. But just continue to do what
Speaker 12: we were doing, you know, just working hard, posing out
Speaker 12: the outside noise. You been in this spot before, right,
Speaker 12: and you know, just just do what we gotta do.
Speaker 6: You're fool for you.
Speaker 17: You said in training camp you're chasing perfection this season
Speaker 17: and obviously good performance to in house sockey today.
Speaker 11: Does it feel a little different.
Speaker 17: What's kind of the transition for you?
Speaker 12: It kind of it feels good, but it's kind of
Speaker 12: like I knew who I was, y'all just did it.
Speaker 12: So it's kind of like, I thank god that the
Speaker 12: the results happening, and you know, he was able to
Speaker 12: stick in the pocket and I was able to get him,
Speaker 12: but I knew who I was, so it's kind of
Speaker 12: like thank you, but it's like what's the next You know.
