WEBVTT - John Harbaugh: Ravens Press Conferences 9/16/24 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:05.600 Welcome to the Raves Presspass podcast. The Ravens Fields to 0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:08.440 the Las Vegas Raiders twenty six to twenty three on Sunday, 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.000 and today we had a chance to hear from head 0:00:10.000 --> 0:00:11.000 coach John Harwall. 0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.920 Okay, appreciate everybody being here. Obviously, a lot of work, 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.239 a lot of work's going in, you know, after since 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.520 after the game until right now, all of us coaches 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:29.640 going through every part of the game with a fine 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.559 tooth comb every single play, every single player, every single situation, 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.840 every circumstance to make sure we understand where we're at 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:40.360 and then now make a plan for where we're going. 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.720 And we'll continue to do that. Players the same way, 0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.519 taking care of themselves physically and getting back from the 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.839 riggers of the game and getting in a position to 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.280 get ready to play the next game and practice and 0:00:52.320 --> 0:00:54.680 prepare for the next game that we have down in Dallas, 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.120 which will be a big challenge. So you go to work, 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.320 you move forward, and you try to continue to improve. 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:03.600 I know that I've heard it said the the NFL 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.560 season is a race to improve to become the best 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:10.440 team that you can over the course of the long haul. 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.560 And it's the race is a marathon, and we've got 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.080 to continue to try to improve as much as we 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.760 can every single day. And I think sometimes, you know, 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.840 your improvement shows up and sometimes it doesn't. And we 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.200 had a disappointing game yesterday. We're not happy about it. 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:29.440 We want to play better. We want to play winning football. 0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.560 We didn't. We didn't do things we needed to do 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.199 to win. So we've got to keep pounding the rock. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.640 And the rock is going to crack, you know, but 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.840 that's our job to keep pound and not get discouraged, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.760 not think all is for nothing, and continue to work 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:44.880 and our reward will be in will be out there 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:46.720 in our future if we continue to do that. So 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.040 what questions you have, John? I knew you were asked 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.680 this yesterday, but in a day movement for everything, kind 0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:54.040 of pay things like that. 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.520 Do you untestipate making any kind of moves as far 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.640 as personnel, starters, anything and won't lose? 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:00.760 Uh? 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:03.040 You know, We'll look at every possibility as a week 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.000 goes on. I think we're always gonna be searching for 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:06.680 ways to make our team better. There's a lot of 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.639 areas here or there. It's not just in like starting 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.000 and who's starting and who's not starting, it's and who's 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.120 playing in what groups? How many reps guys play, what 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.959 plays they play in, same thing on defense, defensive personnel groups. 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.560 So yeah, we're gonna look at everything all the time. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.320 I mean, you're always gonna do what you can do 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.560 with the players that you have, the schemes that you 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.239 have to try to get better. So a lot of 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.239 times it's changing schemes, you know, a lot of times 0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:32.959 it's changing drills to try to get better. It's changing 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:36.480 workloads for different guys, giving other guys an opportunity all 0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:38.440 those guys, all those types of things are things that 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.080 you do not just and I'll tell you do it 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.640 whether you win or lose. You do it all the time, 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.440 but you especially do it when you when you don't 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.000 win a game. 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.359 Two starters are going on obviously, I mean we're kind 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.000 of like a rookie after this and all the last 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.480 year following your position. Bastioned about that month season, what 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.400 do you see in from those two as far as 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.079 games are in progress from the what's your assessment on 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:04.920 where they are right now? 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.200 Yeah, talking about the two guards, those two guys Andrew 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.040 and Daniel, I think, yeah, we're seeing progress, but big 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.959 picture volume, it's not progress. It's measurable in a sense 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:16.640 if you look at the things and say, okay, overall 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.600 it's getting better. It's progress in areas and as other 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.000 areas that show up. And I think that's pretty normal 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.440 for young players. So when you put a young group 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.400 of guys out there, young players in any position, especially 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.840 in the offensive line, there are going to be growing pains. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.240 There's no doubt about it. And I think we've got 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.359 to continue to work as hard as we can to 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.400 make as many good plays as we can. We've got 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.040 a lot of good plays happening out there, but we're 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.600 just too inconsistent, you know. And you talk about the 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.960 offensive line, I think that's a fair evaluation. Is inconsistent. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.160 It's almost randomly inconsistent, you know. So that's something we've 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.360 got to work through. But also across the board with 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.880 our whole team, you know, we're not we're not a 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.560 consistent football team right now. And if we become a 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.640 consistent football team, and when we become a consistent football team, 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.680 then we'll be a winning football team. Until then, it's 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.400 gonna be it's gonna be hard to do that. So 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:07.800 we need to work to make that show up on Sunday. 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.160 That's the goal, is to be a consistent executing team 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:11.720 on Sunday. 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.120 What was the biggest difference Derek Hary in that first 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:15.040 YEF and second half. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.840 I don't know if I'm comparing halfs. I just haven't 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.120 thought about it that way. As you know, I think 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:26.200 we ran the ball pretty well overall. With Derek. We 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:27.920 got some some good runs. I can think about the 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:29.720 runs we got, but I'm thinking I'm kind of in 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.440 the weeds with that right now. On certain plays why 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.880 we didn't gaze many yards other players you get more yards. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.599 I'm sure defense starts to get a little bit tired, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.760 you know. I'm sure we got to beat on some 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:44.160 blocks and things like that. So I think over over 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.160 the course of a game, you expect your running game 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.760 to kind of improve as a game goes on. That's 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:48.359 what you hope for. 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:51.400 The offseason. 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:53.160 You talked a lot about kind of going back to 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:55.600 the drawing board with the offense, kind of revamping it 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.640 and continuing to rebuild it around Lamar. Through these first 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.120 two game, have you seen some of the points of 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.760 emphasis that you wanted to see through this offense so. 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.200 Far, Okay, lot, there's a lot in there, but it's 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:08.839 kind of hidden right now. You know, it's in the bushes. 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.440 You got to You're gonna have to dig in there 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.000 and look for it right now because the results aren't 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.960 what we want it to be. But the things that 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.440 we're trying to build are being built. 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:16.640 You know. 0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:19.440 We're working on the details and there's a lot of 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:24.080 plays getting made. There's choices being made, there's play decisions 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.080 being made that I'm happy with, you know, and I 0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.200 think that we got to continue to build on it. 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.920 We're in the right direction and we've got the right plan. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.640 We've just got to learn to execute it better and 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:36.320 more consistently, you know, And I think we'll do that 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.680 as we go. We'll continue to get better. And that's 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.840 every single guy doing the best they can. I'll say this, 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.479 the most consistent player we have consistently executed and consistently 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.360 playing is Lamar on offense. I mean, Lamar's playing very well. 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.160 He's making good decisions, he's taking charge of the offense. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.840 He's making throws, he's obviously he's moving around when he 0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:00.840 has to. He's running the ball sometimes when it's a 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:02.760 run pass option. He's throwing the ball when he should 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.040 on a run pass option, and I feel really good 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:06.040 about the direction that way. 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.080 He said, you said, you want to kind of see 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.680 the TV copy if you could. 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:14.160 But on the passenger Eres call against Brandon Stevens, what 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:15.479 did you see when you looked. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.200 At it again in a big picture? 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.240 What have you seen from the secondary overall the first community? 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:25.919 Well, I think on the passenger fround the pass interference calls, 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.080 I think there was two of them. Is that right? 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:35.000 You had Marlin and you had Brandon? Right right? I 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.000 think when you look at those plays from a coaching 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.360 perspective and not from a perspective of evaluating officiating, because 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.000 that's not our job. That's not what we do. You 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.680 look and you say, well, what can we coach on 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.760 the second one Brandon's won? There are things to coach 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.320 technique wise, you know. I think Brandon will be the 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.160 first to tell you because he played he played the 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.240 other one down in the end zone the other way perfectly. 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.440 I think there are things that he would say he 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.080 could do better there that would put him in better 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.599 position not to have that call happen. So that that's 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:09.440 that's something that we can avoid the other one with Marlin. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.720 I don't wouldn't have anything any coaching point to tell 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.600 Marlin he could do better. Didn't see anything there that 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.280 that he could improve on with his technique. I thought 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.240 he played it really, really well in that first one. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:24.600 John, has Flowers spoken you or the coaching of w 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.720 a frustration following yesterday's Gabe when he posted the fans 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.000 comments on Twitter said that it's the second we can 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:34.400 row that Flowers has had a big first half and 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.080 they stopped getting him the ball. Has that been a 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:38.600 contention from. 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.640 Some Flowers Nothing I'm aware of. I've know day has 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.360 been great, great conversations with Zay. I'm not aware of 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:46.480 an the social media stuff. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.440 I'll go back to the secondary, which been your just 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:55.840 overall impression of or maybe evaluation of how they played so. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.240 Far to this point. You think, I think the secondary 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:02.120 overall is on track, but we're not consistent. You know, 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.160 we're not consistent and we need to do And it's 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.560 not just a secondary. We're talking about pass defense, you know, 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:11.560 so pass defense is at all three levels. Of course, 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:13.680 the linebackers are involved in that, and the pass rush 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:18.120 is involved in that. So we can play coverage is better. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:19.880 Sometimes it's a one on one thing where they make 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.160 a good play. I can think of the tight end 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.080 made the play on the diving catch coming inside for 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.840 the first time conversion to the right of the offense 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.880 over there. That was number eighty nine. That's a great play. 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:34.079 It's well covered. He makes the play the fade the 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:38.280 fade ball on this left sideline to Adams number seventeen. 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.719 That's well played. That's that's the offense making a really 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:43.760 good play. There's other plays where we're not you know, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.439 we don't play it as well as we could. We're 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.360 not in position, we don't see it quite the same way. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.480 We react a little late. There's some few completions that 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.760 way that happened, especially kind of down the stretch in 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.480 the two minute stuff. I thought a couple of times 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.280 and then a couple of other times he got out. 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.200 You know, we certain situations, especially in the fourth quarter, 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.680 that you can't let the quarterback out of the pocket, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.480 you know, because it just extends plays. That makes it impossible. 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.880 And they got the ball down inside the five yard 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.720 line one time there and it led to a touchdown. So, uh, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.600 that's that's on the front level. So everybody takes responsibility 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.679 for pass defense, so across the board. The bottom line is, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:21.560 at the end of the game, in this this pass game, 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:25.040 you know we have a ten point lead. It's on 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.920 all of us as a team to maintain that lead. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.160 We need to we need our punt team needs to 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:33.079 be better, that's for darn sure. Our offense needs to 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.040 be better, and our defense needs to be responsible to 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.120 get stops. You know, stops have to be made, plays 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.280 have to be made. If you make plays to get 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.120 the stops and you leave with a win. So when 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.280 we learn to do that consistently, then we're gonna win. 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:47.200 We're gonna win, We're gonna win all those kind of games. 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.800 I mean, giving up a fourth quarter lead is never okay, 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.640 it's not acceptable. It should never happen. And you do 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.719 it because because you don't play consistent football, uh to 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.160 get the stops that you need to get. And our 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.000 guys know that they'll they'll take accountability for it. Coaches 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.080 will take accountability for it. I mean why I say us, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.760 I mean all of us players and coaches together, that's 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.960 our job to get that done. When you guys do. 0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:11.880 Lose the fourth quarter, league fans will leak that to 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.280 other games in which that's happened and say, well, they 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.400 have an issue with that. But do you do you 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.040 even look at it that way or do you look 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.439 at it more as a sort of result of a 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.520 lot of smaller things that happen in the game and 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:23.719 kind of add up to that. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:25.720 I guess, yeah. Well, I mean, no two things are 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.920 the same, So I don't know, there's no way to 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.280 pinpoint it exactly if that's what you're looking for. I'm 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:33.040 not really kind of sure exactly how to answer the question, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.600 other than to say that you can't give up ten 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:39.840 point leads in the fourth quarter. I mean, whatever happens 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.640 to play consistent football to make the plays that need 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:43.959 to be made. I mean, you know, a ball needs 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:45.559 to get batted down, a sack needs to be made, 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:48.760 quarterback needs to get tackled. A player needs to get covered. 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.760 You know, a scrambled drill he needs to get plastered. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.240 Somebody needs to catch a pick. You know, over the 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.079 years you look back, you know, don't drop a pick 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.320 that didn't happen this game. But you know what I'm saying, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.439 plays need to get made to get yourself off the field. 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.880 Offenses don't take themselves off the field. You've got to 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:06.720 get them off the field by the way you play, 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.720 you know. And I just feel like we just need 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:09.960 to do a better job of that. I mean, that's 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.440 something that we can be we over the past four 0:11:12.520 --> 0:11:14.840 or five years, that's something that's been a difference. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:14.960 Now. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.400 The fact that you have so many leads in the 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.920 fourth quarter probably lends itself to you're going to lose 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:22.080 more leads than most teams. So I understand that part 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.240 of it. But I also want to win those games. 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.000 We all do, so we just need to do a 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:27.719 better job with that. 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:35.319 You do to prove your efficiency and those challenge when 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.440 you or your act when you kind of at work 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.600 just and wise, but take make sure you have only 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:44.280 to look over guys. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.839 Yeah, I mean you have your choice, Like basically, you 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.600 decide if you don't want to, like, if you want 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.040 to have a winning percentage in challenges, just don't challenge stuff. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.920 Just let it go, you know. And if you miss 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:57.559 a challenge, you know, if you have one that you 0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.480 should have challenged that you don't challenge, it doesn't get 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:02.600 counted against your record. But I don't think that way, 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.480 you know, I'm not worried about the record. You know 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:08.120 that someone might be printing about what your challenge record is. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.320 I'm trying to think about the opportunity in the game 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.840 to see if we could have a chance to use 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.840 the challenge to our advantage to try to win the game. 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.760 So the first one, like I said yesterday, that's probably 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:20.679 a situation where I don't mind taking a chance there 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.800 now one because they did have his hand under the ball, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.360 and maybe there's a chance that they'll turn that over. 0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.240 And you know, I thought probably was less than fifty 0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.640 to fifty when I saw it, I saw it right 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:31.559 I looked at it, I saw it. I knew what 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:33.800 happened right away. I thought, you know what, I don't 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:35.680 mind the time out right here. Let me see if 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:37.240 we can get him to turn that one over, because 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.480 you know, his hand was under the ball, and you know, 0:12:40.520 --> 0:12:43.480 but I can see why they didn't overturn it. The 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.520 second one was moving fast, and you know, I saw 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:48.920 it from far. I saw it quickly on the replay board. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.560 It was a quick shot in the booth. I thought 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.560 to myself, it's really close. There's a good chances toes 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.400 are still on the ground, but there's a chances toes 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:58.599 are off the ground and I didn't have time. We 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.679 didn't have time to get another look at it. So 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:02.880 I decided and he the moment, to go ahead and 0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:05.199 take a shot at it, because I felt like, if 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:06.840 we win it, we gotta we gotta, you know, it's 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:08.959 gonna really help us. And if we don't win it, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:10.959 I'm hoping that timeout is not going to come down 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.560 to be the difference. But I don't have the luxury 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.320 to know that we're gonna need that time out for sure. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.400 So if i'd have been more conservative on that, I 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.120 wouldn't have thrown the flag, because usually I throw the 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.400 flag when I'm in a situation like that, I'll usually 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.920 throw it when I'm sure. I decided on that one 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:25.480 to take a shot, you know, and ended up hurting 0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.360 us because if we didn't have the time out at 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:27.959 the end of the game. 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:32.920 John hopes these were you with the way that A 0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:35.559 da fe Away played two and a half sacks and 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.599 nast a lot about him as far as in the 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:40.400 next step, but it's like he was very active in 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:41.600 terms of the pressure in the pop. 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.480 Yeah, I think A Daugh is just really you know, well, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.439 you know, We've been saying it all along. You know 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.880 that we have pass rushers, you know, and I feel 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.640 like kind of proud of that. You know that these 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.719 guys are coming on and we're two games into a 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.520 long season and we're starting to establish, you know, ourselves 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:02.800 and having some guys that can really get to the quarterback. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:03.000 You know. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:06.760 So I'm really excited about that, fired up about those guys. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:08.680 I think those guys are going to continue to get better. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:12.599 Da Fe, David Uh, you know Van Noy, you know, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.600 the old guy in there, he's rushing the passer well, 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.839 and Tavius and then you got your guys on the 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:21.840 inside between between Nomdie and between Travis and others are 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:22.680 doing a good job too. 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.320 Just going back to the offensive line, it looked like 0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:29.600 Roger Rosengartner took a step up in his second game. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.480 What'd you see from him in his product? 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.760 Did Roger took really good, really good improvement from week 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:36.680 one to week two, you know, as a rookie. First game, 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.440 now second game, I thought he stepped it up and 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.840 played well, you know, so that was that was his 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.800 Obviously he's only played two games, but it was a 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:49.320 major major improvement from the week before. So let's hope 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:50.280 he keeps on that track. 0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:53.280 Maybe you know you've been rotating him in there in 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.160 the misty games him mccar Would it be a situation 0:14:56.240 --> 0:14:58.840 you've seen mccar is pretty much go back in each time. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.840 Would it be a situation if you felt like Rose 0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.080 Regard was hot or whatever at that time, that he 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:05.720 would just would just stick with them? 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:06.960 Well, I think it's possible. 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:07.240 Sure. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.920 I mean, you know Pat's playing well too, you know, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:11.640 but Pat had you know, he's gonna have some places 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.800 he wants back. So, uh, you know, the more plays 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.120 you play, the more chances are to have some inconsistencies. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.080 But yeah, we're gonna keep working both those guys in there. 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.680 It's a good thing to have them both. I think 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.240 that's a positive thing. And I want to get to 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.800 the point where, you know, the whole offensive line is 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:30.000 playing at a consistent level. That's what we gotta that's 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.520 what we gotta fight for. Uh, that we're playing on 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:35.080 a consistent level across the board with the offensive. 0:15:34.720 --> 0:15:37.040 Line's are an ideal. 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.880 But is that the onliest one you would think about 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.400 doing that type of rotations with doing. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.640 The game opposed to it? It just depends on who 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:47.560 you have, you know, and who the options. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:54.560 Are usual. 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:02.440 Expect to achieve that. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:04.760 No, I think play action passes are really important for us. 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.200 I mean, that's that's that's a big part of what 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:08.960 we need to do as much play action as we 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.880 can get. Uh, and there's different types of play actions. 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.880 We threw more screens than we usually do. I think 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:15.800 that probably took the place that some play action passes 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:17.920 probably in the count, you know, if you're counting. We 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.760 also ran the ball more than than we have in 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:22.280 the past, so that probably might have taken some of 0:16:22.320 --> 0:16:24.120 the play action count either. And I think there's always 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.040 gonna be you know, you might have more play actions, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:28.880 you might have fewer runs, you might have fewer screens, 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.280 all that kind of stuff. So it goes hand in hand. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.080 But you know, play action passes are something we do 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.160 really well. And I'm I'm a big proponent. 0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:35.320 Man. 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:39.320 I wanna see showing the run, throw it behind the linebackers. 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:41.800 Your game. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:46.520 You up, you're emphasising those more. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.480 You know, wants more consibilities. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:56.280 Changing the nation. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.040 Well, I mean you're always gonna grow, you know, and 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:00.920 the game is never gonna stay the same. You know. 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:03.760 We've definitely are trying to take this offense to another 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:07.320 level with just being able to being able to do 0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:09.800 stuff on the field with Lamar Lamar, you know, I 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.040 would say Lamar has the keys to the offense. You know, 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.800 he's he's the driver of that car, you know, and 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:17.600 he drives it on the field. You know, Todd's calling 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.040 the plays, staff is putting the plan together, but Lamar 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:23.919 has has has a lot of tools at at his disposal. 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:26.840 So that's something that you know that's going to continue 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:28.359 to grow and improve and we're going to build on 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.399 that as we go. I think Lamar's doing a very 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.480 good job with it, and I'm excited about what we can. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.120 Do with itspctive. 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:39.560 At least broken about from not being Woozers is that 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:42.720 Ben Cleveland has held his own when he's played plays 0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:43.360 out well. 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:45.680 What does he have to do to become an option 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:46.880 to playing war snaps? 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.600
