Speaker 1: Welcome to the Raves Presspass podcast. The Ravens Fields to
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders twenty six to twenty three on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and today we had a chance to hear from head
Speaker 1: coach John Harwall.
Speaker 2: Okay, appreciate everybody being here. Obviously, a lot of work,
Speaker 2: a lot of work's going in, you know, after since
Speaker 2: after the game until right now, all of us coaches
Speaker 2: going through every part of the game with a fine
Speaker 2: tooth comb every single play, every single player, every single situation,
Speaker 2: every circumstance to make sure we understand where we're at
Speaker 2: and then now make a plan for where we're going.
Speaker 2: And we'll continue to do that. Players the same way,
Speaker 2: taking care of themselves physically and getting back from the
Speaker 2: riggers of the game and getting in a position to
Speaker 2: get ready to play the next game and practice and
Speaker 2: prepare for the next game that we have down in Dallas,
Speaker 2: which will be a big challenge. So you go to work,
Speaker 2: you move forward, and you try to continue to improve.
Speaker 2: I know that I've heard it said the the NFL
Speaker 2: season is a race to improve to become the best
Speaker 2: team that you can over the course of the long haul.
Speaker 2: And it's the race is a marathon, and we've got
Speaker 2: to continue to try to improve as much as we
Speaker 2: can every single day. And I think sometimes, you know,
Speaker 2: your improvement shows up and sometimes it doesn't. And we
Speaker 2: had a disappointing game yesterday. We're not happy about it.
Speaker 2: We want to play better. We want to play winning football.
Speaker 2: We didn't. We didn't do things we needed to do
Speaker 2: to win. So we've got to keep pounding the rock.
Speaker 2: And the rock is going to crack, you know, but
Speaker 2: that's our job to keep pound and not get discouraged,
Speaker 2: not think all is for nothing, and continue to work
Speaker 2: and our reward will be in will be out there
Speaker 2: in our future if we continue to do that. So
Speaker 2: what questions you have, John? I knew you were asked
Speaker 2: this yesterday, but in a day movement for everything, kind
Speaker 2: of pay things like that.
Speaker 3: Do you untestipate making any kind of moves as far
Speaker 3: as personnel, starters, anything and won't lose?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: You know, We'll look at every possibility as a week
Speaker 2: goes on. I think we're always gonna be searching for
Speaker 2: ways to make our team better. There's a lot of
Speaker 2: areas here or there. It's not just in like starting
Speaker 2: and who's starting and who's not starting, it's and who's
Speaker 2: playing in what groups? How many reps guys play, what
Speaker 2: plays they play in, same thing on defense, defensive personnel groups.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're gonna look at everything all the time.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're always gonna do what you can do
Speaker 2: with the players that you have, the schemes that you
Speaker 2: have to try to get better. So a lot of
Speaker 2: times it's changing schemes, you know, a lot of times
Speaker 2: it's changing drills to try to get better. It's changing
Speaker 2: workloads for different guys, giving other guys an opportunity all
Speaker 2: those guys, all those types of things are things that
Speaker 2: you do not just and I'll tell you do it
Speaker 2: whether you win or lose. You do it all the time,
Speaker 2: but you especially do it when you when you don't
Speaker 2: win a game.
Speaker 4: Two starters are going on obviously, I mean we're kind
Speaker 4: of like a rookie after this and all the last
Speaker 4: year following your position. Bastioned about that month season, what
Speaker 4: do you see in from those two as far as
Speaker 4: games are in progress from the what's your assessment on
Speaker 4: where they are right now?
Speaker 2: Yeah, talking about the two guards, those two guys Andrew
Speaker 2: and Daniel, I think, yeah, we're seeing progress, but big
Speaker 2: picture volume, it's not progress. It's measurable in a sense
Speaker 2: if you look at the things and say, okay, overall
Speaker 2: it's getting better. It's progress in areas and as other
Speaker 2: areas that show up. And I think that's pretty normal
Speaker 2: for young players. So when you put a young group
Speaker 2: of guys out there, young players in any position, especially
Speaker 2: in the offensive line, there are going to be growing pains.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. And I think we've got
Speaker 2: to continue to work as hard as we can to
Speaker 2: make as many good plays as we can. We've got
Speaker 2: a lot of good plays happening out there, but we're
Speaker 2: just too inconsistent, you know. And you talk about the
Speaker 2: offensive line, I think that's a fair evaluation. Is inconsistent.
Speaker 2: It's almost randomly inconsistent, you know. So that's something we've
Speaker 2: got to work through. But also across the board with
Speaker 2: our whole team, you know, we're not we're not a
Speaker 2: consistent football team right now. And if we become a
Speaker 2: consistent football team, and when we become a consistent football team,
Speaker 2: then we'll be a winning football team. Until then, it's
Speaker 2: gonna be it's gonna be hard to do that. So
Speaker 2: we need to work to make that show up on Sunday.
Speaker 2: That's the goal, is to be a consistent executing team
Speaker 2: on Sunday.
Speaker 5: What was the biggest difference Derek Hary in that first
Speaker 5: YEF and second half.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm comparing halfs. I just haven't
Speaker 2: thought about it that way. As you know, I think
Speaker 2: we ran the ball pretty well overall. With Derek. We
Speaker 2: got some some good runs. I can think about the
Speaker 2: runs we got, but I'm thinking I'm kind of in
Speaker 2: the weeds with that right now. On certain plays why
Speaker 2: we didn't gaze many yards other players you get more yards.
Speaker 2: I'm sure defense starts to get a little bit tired,
Speaker 2: you know. I'm sure we got to beat on some
Speaker 2: blocks and things like that. So I think over over
Speaker 2: the course of a game, you expect your running game
Speaker 2: to kind of improve as a game goes on. That's
Speaker 2: what you hope for.
Speaker 6: The offseason.
Speaker 5: You talked a lot about kind of going back to
Speaker 5: the drawing board with the offense, kind of revamping it
Speaker 5: and continuing to rebuild it around Lamar. Through these first
Speaker 5: two game, have you seen some of the points of
Speaker 5: emphasis that you wanted to see through this offense so.
Speaker 2: Far, Okay, lot, there's a lot in there, but it's
Speaker 2: kind of hidden right now. You know, it's in the bushes.
Speaker 2: You got to You're gonna have to dig in there
Speaker 2: and look for it right now because the results aren't
Speaker 2: what we want it to be. But the things that
Speaker 2: we're trying to build are being built.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: We're working on the details and there's a lot of
Speaker 2: plays getting made. There's choices being made, there's play decisions
Speaker 2: being made that I'm happy with, you know, and I
Speaker 2: think that we got to continue to build on it.
Speaker 2: We're in the right direction and we've got the right plan.
Speaker 2: We've just got to learn to execute it better and
Speaker 2: more consistently, you know, And I think we'll do that
Speaker 2: as we go. We'll continue to get better. And that's
Speaker 2: every single guy doing the best they can. I'll say this,
Speaker 2: the most consistent player we have consistently executed and consistently
Speaker 2: playing is Lamar on offense. I mean, Lamar's playing very well.
Speaker 2: He's making good decisions, he's taking charge of the offense.
Speaker 2: He's making throws, he's obviously he's moving around when he
Speaker 2: has to. He's running the ball sometimes when it's a
Speaker 2: run pass option. He's throwing the ball when he should
Speaker 2: on a run pass option, and I feel really good
Speaker 2: about the direction that way.
Speaker 3: He said, you said, you want to kind of see
Speaker 3: the TV copy if you could.
Speaker 7: But on the passenger Eres call against Brandon Stevens, what
Speaker 7: did you see when you looked.
Speaker 2: At it again in a big picture?
Speaker 3: What have you seen from the secondary overall the first community?
Speaker 2: Well, I think on the passenger fround the pass interference calls,
Speaker 2: I think there was two of them. Is that right?
Speaker 2: You had Marlin and you had Brandon? Right right? I
Speaker 2: think when you look at those plays from a coaching
Speaker 2: perspective and not from a perspective of evaluating officiating, because
Speaker 2: that's not our job. That's not what we do. You
Speaker 2: look and you say, well, what can we coach on
Speaker 2: the second one Brandon's won? There are things to coach
Speaker 2: technique wise, you know. I think Brandon will be the
Speaker 2: first to tell you because he played he played the
Speaker 2: other one down in the end zone the other way perfectly.
Speaker 2: I think there are things that he would say he
Speaker 2: could do better there that would put him in better
Speaker 2: position not to have that call happen. So that that's
Speaker 2: that's something that we can avoid the other one with Marlin.
Speaker 2: I don't wouldn't have anything any coaching point to tell
Speaker 2: Marlin he could do better. Didn't see anything there that
Speaker 2: that he could improve on with his technique. I thought
Speaker 2: he played it really, really well in that first one.
Speaker 6: John, has Flowers spoken you or the coaching of w
Speaker 6: a frustration following yesterday's Gabe when he posted the fans
Speaker 6: comments on Twitter said that it's the second we can
Speaker 6: row that Flowers has had a big first half and
Speaker 6: they stopped getting him the ball. Has that been a
Speaker 6: contention from.
Speaker 2: Some Flowers Nothing I'm aware of. I've know day has
Speaker 2: been great, great conversations with Zay. I'm not aware of
Speaker 2: an the social media stuff.
Speaker 7: I'll go back to the secondary, which been your just
Speaker 7: overall impression of or maybe evaluation of how they played so.
Speaker 2: Far to this point. You think, I think the secondary
Speaker 2: overall is on track, but we're not consistent. You know,
Speaker 2: we're not consistent and we need to do And it's
Speaker 2: not just a secondary. We're talking about pass defense, you know,
Speaker 2: so pass defense is at all three levels. Of course,
Speaker 2: the linebackers are involved in that, and the pass rush
Speaker 2: is involved in that. So we can play coverage is better.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a one on one thing where they make
Speaker 2: a good play. I can think of the tight end
Speaker 2: made the play on the diving catch coming inside for
Speaker 2: the first time conversion to the right of the offense
Speaker 2: over there. That was number eighty nine. That's a great play.
Speaker 2: It's well covered. He makes the play the fade the
Speaker 2: fade ball on this left sideline to Adams number seventeen.
Speaker 2: That's well played. That's that's the offense making a really
Speaker 2: good play. There's other plays where we're not you know,
Speaker 2: we don't play it as well as we could. We're
Speaker 2: not in position, we don't see it quite the same way.
Speaker 2: We react a little late. There's some few completions that
Speaker 2: way that happened, especially kind of down the stretch in
Speaker 2: the two minute stuff. I thought a couple of times
Speaker 2: and then a couple of other times he got out.
Speaker 2: You know, we certain situations, especially in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: that you can't let the quarterback out of the pocket,
Speaker 2: you know, because it just extends plays. That makes it impossible.
Speaker 2: And they got the ball down inside the five yard
Speaker 2: line one time there and it led to a touchdown. So, uh,
Speaker 2: that's that's on the front level. So everybody takes responsibility
Speaker 2: for pass defense, so across the board. The bottom line is,
Speaker 2: at the end of the game, in this this pass game,
Speaker 2: you know we have a ten point lead. It's on
Speaker 2: all of us as a team to maintain that lead.
Speaker 2: We need to we need our punt team needs to
Speaker 2: be better, that's for darn sure. Our offense needs to
Speaker 2: be better, and our defense needs to be responsible to
Speaker 2: get stops. You know, stops have to be made, plays
Speaker 2: have to be made. If you make plays to get
Speaker 2: the stops and you leave with a win. So when
Speaker 2: we learn to do that consistently, then we're gonna win.
Speaker 2: We're gonna win, We're gonna win all those kind of games.
Speaker 2: I mean, giving up a fourth quarter lead is never okay,
Speaker 2: it's not acceptable. It should never happen. And you do
Speaker 2: it because because you don't play consistent football, uh to
Speaker 2: get the stops that you need to get. And our
Speaker 2: guys know that they'll they'll take accountability for it. Coaches
Speaker 2: will take accountability for it. I mean why I say us,
Speaker 2: I mean all of us players and coaches together, that's
Speaker 2: our job to get that done. When you guys do.
Speaker 3: Lose the fourth quarter, league fans will leak that to
Speaker 3: other games in which that's happened and say, well, they
Speaker 3: have an issue with that. But do you do you
Speaker 3: even look at it that way or do you look
Speaker 3: at it more as a sort of result of a
Speaker 3: lot of smaller things that happen in the game and
Speaker 3: kind of add up to that.
Speaker 2: I guess, yeah. Well, I mean, no two things are
Speaker 2: the same, So I don't know, there's no way to
Speaker 2: pinpoint it exactly if that's what you're looking for. I'm
Speaker 2: not really kind of sure exactly how to answer the question,
Speaker 2: other than to say that you can't give up ten
Speaker 2: point leads in the fourth quarter. I mean, whatever happens
Speaker 2: to play consistent football to make the plays that need
Speaker 2: to be made. I mean, you know, a ball needs
Speaker 2: to get batted down, a sack needs to be made,
Speaker 2: quarterback needs to get tackled. A player needs to get covered.
Speaker 2: You know, a scrambled drill he needs to get plastered.
Speaker 2: Somebody needs to catch a pick. You know, over the
Speaker 2: years you look back, you know, don't drop a pick
Speaker 2: that didn't happen this game. But you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: plays need to get made to get yourself off the field.
Speaker 2: Offenses don't take themselves off the field. You've got to
Speaker 2: get them off the field by the way you play,
Speaker 2: you know. And I just feel like we just need
Speaker 2: to do a better job of that. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: something that we can be we over the past four
Speaker 2: or five years, that's something that's been a difference.
Speaker 8: Now.
Speaker 2: The fact that you have so many leads in the
Speaker 2: fourth quarter probably lends itself to you're going to lose
Speaker 2: more leads than most teams. So I understand that part
Speaker 2: of it. But I also want to win those games.
Speaker 2: We all do, so we just need to do a
Speaker 2: better job with that.
Speaker 8: You do to prove your efficiency and those challenge when
Speaker 8: you or your act when you kind of at work
Speaker 8: just and wise, but take make sure you have only
Speaker 8: to look over guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you have your choice, Like basically, you
Speaker 2: decide if you don't want to, like, if you want
Speaker 2: to have a winning percentage in challenges, just don't challenge stuff.
Speaker 2: Just let it go, you know. And if you miss
Speaker 2: a challenge, you know, if you have one that you
Speaker 2: should have challenged that you don't challenge, it doesn't get
Speaker 2: counted against your record. But I don't think that way,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not worried about the record. You know
Speaker 2: that someone might be printing about what your challenge record is.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think about the opportunity in the game
Speaker 2: to see if we could have a chance to use
Speaker 2: the challenge to our advantage to try to win the game.
Speaker 2: So the first one, like I said yesterday, that's probably
Speaker 2: a situation where I don't mind taking a chance there
Speaker 2: now one because they did have his hand under the ball,
Speaker 2: and maybe there's a chance that they'll turn that over.
Speaker 2: And you know, I thought probably was less than fifty
Speaker 2: to fifty when I saw it, I saw it right
Speaker 2: I looked at it, I saw it. I knew what
Speaker 2: happened right away. I thought, you know what, I don't
Speaker 2: mind the time out right here. Let me see if
Speaker 2: we can get him to turn that one over, because
Speaker 2: you know, his hand was under the ball, and you know,
Speaker 2: but I can see why they didn't overturn it. The
Speaker 2: second one was moving fast, and you know, I saw
Speaker 2: it from far. I saw it quickly on the replay board.
Speaker 2: It was a quick shot in the booth. I thought
Speaker 2: to myself, it's really close. There's a good chances toes
Speaker 2: are still on the ground, but there's a chances toes
Speaker 2: are off the ground and I didn't have time. We
Speaker 2: didn't have time to get another look at it. So
Speaker 2: I decided and he the moment, to go ahead and
Speaker 2: take a shot at it, because I felt like, if
Speaker 2: we win it, we gotta we gotta, you know, it's
Speaker 2: gonna really help us. And if we don't win it,
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that timeout is not going to come down
Speaker 2: to be the difference. But I don't have the luxury
Speaker 2: to know that we're gonna need that time out for sure.
Speaker 2: So if i'd have been more conservative on that, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't have thrown the flag, because usually I throw the
Speaker 2: flag when I'm in a situation like that, I'll usually
Speaker 2: throw it when I'm sure. I decided on that one
Speaker 2: to take a shot, you know, and ended up hurting
Speaker 2: us because if we didn't have the time out at
Speaker 2: the end of the game.
Speaker 8: John hopes these were you with the way that A
Speaker 8: da fe Away played two and a half sacks and
Speaker 8: nast a lot about him as far as in the
Speaker 8: next step, but it's like he was very active in
Speaker 8: terms of the pressure in the pop.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think A Daugh is just really you know, well,
Speaker 2: you know, We've been saying it all along. You know
Speaker 2: that we have pass rushers, you know, and I feel
Speaker 2: like kind of proud of that. You know that these
Speaker 2: guys are coming on and we're two games into a
Speaker 2: long season and we're starting to establish, you know, ourselves
Speaker 2: and having some guys that can really get to the quarterback.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited about that, fired up about those guys.
Speaker 2: I think those guys are going to continue to get better.
Speaker 2: Da Fe, David Uh, you know Van Noy, you know,
Speaker 2: the old guy in there, he's rushing the passer well,
Speaker 2: and Tavius and then you got your guys on the
Speaker 2: inside between between Nomdie and between Travis and others are
Speaker 2: doing a good job too.
Speaker 6: Just going back to the offensive line, it looked like
Speaker 6: Roger Rosengartner took a step up in his second game.
Speaker 4: What'd you see from him in his product?
Speaker 2: Did Roger took really good, really good improvement from week
Speaker 2: one to week two, you know, as a rookie. First game,
Speaker 2: now second game, I thought he stepped it up and
Speaker 2: played well, you know, so that was that was his
Speaker 2: Obviously he's only played two games, but it was a
Speaker 2: major major improvement from the week before. So let's hope
Speaker 2: he keeps on that track.
Speaker 5: Maybe you know you've been rotating him in there in
Speaker 5: the misty games him mccar Would it be a situation
Speaker 5: you've seen mccar is pretty much go back in each time.
Speaker 5: Would it be a situation if you felt like Rose
Speaker 5: Regard was hot or whatever at that time, that he
Speaker 5: would just would just stick with them?
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's possible.
Speaker 7: Sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know Pat's playing well too, you know,
Speaker 2: but Pat had you know, he's gonna have some places
Speaker 2: he wants back. So, uh, you know, the more plays
Speaker 2: you play, the more chances are to have some inconsistencies.
Speaker 2: But yeah, we're gonna keep working both those guys in there.
Speaker 2: It's a good thing to have them both. I think
Speaker 2: that's a positive thing. And I want to get to
Speaker 2: the point where, you know, the whole offensive line is
Speaker 2: playing at a consistent level. That's what we gotta that's
Speaker 2: what we gotta fight for. Uh, that we're playing on
Speaker 2: a consistent level across the board with the offensive.
Speaker 4: Line's are an ideal.
Speaker 5: But is that the onliest one you would think about
Speaker 5: doing that type of rotations with doing.
Speaker 2: The game opposed to it? It just depends on who
Speaker 2: you have, you know, and who the options.
Speaker 1: Are usual.
Speaker 8: Expect to achieve that.
Speaker 2: No, I think play action passes are really important for us.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's that's a big part of what
Speaker 2: we need to do as much play action as we
Speaker 2: can get. Uh, and there's different types of play actions.
Speaker 2: We threw more screens than we usually do. I think
Speaker 2: that probably took the place that some play action passes
Speaker 2: probably in the count, you know, if you're counting. We
Speaker 2: also ran the ball more than than we have in
Speaker 2: the past, so that probably might have taken some of
Speaker 2: the play action count either. And I think there's always
Speaker 2: gonna be you know, you might have more play actions,
Speaker 2: you might have fewer runs, you might have fewer screens,
Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. So it goes hand in hand.
Speaker 2: But you know, play action passes are something we do
Speaker 2: really well. And I'm I'm a big proponent.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: I wanna see showing the run, throw it behind the linebackers.
Speaker 6: Your game.
Speaker 3: You up, you're emphasising those more.
Speaker 5: You know, wants more consibilities.
Speaker 7: Changing the nation.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you're always gonna grow, you know, and
Speaker 2: the game is never gonna stay the same. You know.
Speaker 2: We've definitely are trying to take this offense to another
Speaker 2: level with just being able to being able to do
Speaker 2: stuff on the field with Lamar Lamar, you know, I
Speaker 2: would say Lamar has the keys to the offense. You know,
Speaker 2: he's he's the driver of that car, you know, and
Speaker 2: he drives it on the field. You know, Todd's calling
Speaker 2: the plays, staff is putting the plan together, but Lamar
Speaker 2: has has has a lot of tools at at his disposal.
Speaker 2: So that's something that you know that's going to continue
Speaker 2: to grow and improve and we're going to build on
Speaker 2: that as we go. I think Lamar's doing a very
Speaker 2: good job with it, and I'm excited about what we can.
Speaker 7: Do with itspctive.
Speaker 2: At least broken about from not being Woozers is that
Speaker 2: Ben Cleveland has held his own when he's played plays
Speaker 2: out well.
Speaker 5: What does he have to do to become an option
Speaker 5: to playing war snaps?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, if if Ben had earned
Speaker 2: the job the right guard, he'd be the starting right guard,
Speaker 2: you know. So I mean you look at the tape,
Speaker 2: you know, he didn't beat out Daniel or anybody. I
Speaker 2: think Ben's a good player. I like Ben. I want
Speaker 2: Ben to take the next step. You know, he's in
Speaker 2: the what year is in third year? The fourth year?
Speaker 2: His fourth year. You know, Ben knows what he needs
Speaker 2: to do if he wants playing time. He knows how
Speaker 2: he needs to play, and he knows how he needs
Speaker 2: to practice me and gets that chance. So our evaluation
Speaker 2: right now is that Daniel out played Ben, just fact,
Speaker 2: straight up, a matter of fact. If we thought Ben
Speaker 2: and outplayed Daniel, he'd be the starting right guard. So
Speaker 2: when I see, if I see that Ben's playing better
Speaker 2: than Daniel, then Ben will be the starting right guard,
Speaker 2: you know, and he practices every day. So it's like
Speaker 2: just to tell all the guys, I mean, show me,
Speaker 2: and that goes talk. We're talking about Ben because that's
Speaker 2: the question. I love Ben, and I think Ben can
Speaker 2: be a great player. I want to see it, just
Speaker 2: like I want to see it with Daniel, Okay, just
Speaker 2: so I want to see it with all the players.
Speaker 2: So we'll keep fighting for that, and UH, those guys
Speaker 2: will keep fighting for that.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: We coach our guys, and our guys compete and uh,
Speaker 2: and we're going to continue to improve fine personnel.
Speaker 8: Not for twelve persons playing of the N five personnel
Speaker 8: have you kind of seen that way out of eleven being.
Speaker 4: Which you look at in the front and runking.
Speaker 2: And asking, yeah, we're trying to run the ball as
Speaker 2: much as we can. Out of that group, you know
Speaker 2: that we call tiger, you know, with with Uh, with
Speaker 2: Mark and with Isaiah on the field, you know, which
Speaker 2: is gonna be seen as a passing group. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be seen very similar to eleven personnel or if you
Speaker 2: want to call it zebra like the West Coast teams do,
Speaker 2: you could and like we do, you could call zebra
Speaker 2: in here too. You know, there's a lot of ways
Speaker 2: things you can call it. So uh, that's gonna be
Speaker 2: seen like more like more like eleven twelve is with
Speaker 2: those guys. And then when you put Pat out there,
Speaker 2: even even even eleven, Pat might be seen either as
Speaker 2: a pass protection type of deal or run deal. So
Speaker 2: you try to balance all that out. But a lot
Speaker 2: of it's gonna be situationally too. So you can be
Speaker 2: in third and eight and it doesn't matter what you
Speaker 2: put on the field, they're gonna you're gonna get nickel
Speaker 2: or dime. So you can put whatever you want on
Speaker 2: the field and you're still going to get the passing stuff,
Speaker 2: you might get single high more than more than too high,
Speaker 2: maybe because it might think you're going to try to
Speaker 2: run the ball, but that might be true more th
Speaker 2: third and three, third and four, third and five. So
Speaker 2: we understand all that, and you try to keep people honest.
Speaker 2: You know, you do the best you can, but you're
Speaker 2: not going to be fifty to fifty. I mean, there
Speaker 2: are going to be tendencies. You know, that's that's part
Speaker 2: of the deal. There's a reason that Mark and Isaiah
Speaker 2: are out there. But you also want to take advantage
Speaker 2: of the fact that they loosen it up too much
Speaker 2: and you run the ball, you know, And we try
Speaker 2: to do that, and we'll continue to try to build
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 7: We're talking about this yesterday obviously the eleven penalties yesterday.
Speaker 7: You know, probably a couple of questions once I think
Speaker 7: seven the week for how much of it when then
Speaker 7: it's just in the conversation in the meets, have that
Speaker 7: pan over these for three weeks.
Speaker 2: I would say it's a massive point of a massive
Speaker 2: point of emphasis, has been a massive point of emphasis
Speaker 2: and will always be. You know, it's it's just not okay.
Speaker 2: There's know you can talk about some calls here, talk
Speaker 2: about holding call, definitely talk about a call that was
Speaker 2: called as a face mask. You can talk about one
Speaker 2: of the past interferences, you know, and those are those
Speaker 2: are game changing plays, no doubt about it. But you
Speaker 2: can't talk about you can't talk about false starts, you know,
Speaker 2: you can't talk about obvious holding, you know, things like that.
Speaker 2: Can't talk about not lining up correctly. Those are things
Speaker 2: that we have to take responsibility for. And that's we're
Speaker 2: not there yet by any stretch of the imagination in
Speaker 2: terms of playing you know, playing consistent football across the
Speaker 2: board and not making mistakes that are costing us opportunities
Speaker 2: to move yards. So I would say that we cost
Speaker 2: ourselves more plays than our opponents do right now on
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. And that's something that just
Speaker 2: we have to clean up.
Speaker 6: John I mentioned the team has to be better on that.
Speaker 6: On the style of twenty four yards, what's a mechanical
Speaker 6: issue spreading molding and you.
Speaker 4: Didn't see a tape on that orsition.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's a technical issue. It's a punting punting
Speaker 2: is it's kind of like golf, you know, I mean,
Speaker 2: you know golf. Fortunately, the ball doesn't move, but it
Speaker 2: seems so hard the punter the ball is moving. I
Speaker 2: still don't think it's as hard as go. Well, who
Speaker 2: of us in here could punt the ball? Probably none
Speaker 2: of us, you know, but some of us think we
Speaker 2: can play golf. So I recognize it's hard, but you know,
Speaker 2: these are the you know, Jordan's one of the best
Speaker 2: punters in the world, and that punt's got to be made,
Speaker 2: he knows, you know, not just that one. It wasn't
Speaker 2: a good game. You know, it wasn't the kind of
Speaker 2: game he's capable of. It's not the way punting practice.
Speaker 2: So you got to take your practice performance and you
Speaker 2: got to take it to the game. You got you
Speaker 2: gotta help us, you know. So he's very conscientious. He
Speaker 2: wants to be the best, and uh, you know, sometimes
Speaker 2: you got to take a deep breath and just just
Speaker 2: go through your technique and do it the right way.
Speaker 2: And he's capable of that. And we're going to keep
Speaker 2: We're going to keep supporting him and keep coaching him.
Speaker 2: And I'm confident he's going to get the job done.
Speaker 2: But the job wasn't done in the last game. Hur Team.
Speaker 8: Joh I think ULDs Prissy Natures report with the cushions,
Speaker 8: you have an update.
Speaker 2: On where he is hurt all wise, I don't have
Speaker 2: an update really. I'm hopeful he'll be back this week though.
Speaker 5: Did you get out the game health the other wise job?
Speaker 2: I think so, but like you know, you never know,
Speaker 2: but I feel pretty good about it.
