WEBVTT - John Harbaugh & Players: Ravens Practice 1/4 Press Conferences 0:00:02.840 --> 0:00:04.560 Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. 0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:06.920 The Ravens were gearing up for a Week eighteen game 0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:09.800 against the Pittsburgh Steelers to close out the regular season. 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:11.480 Today we had a chance to hear from head coach 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:12.400 John Hartball. 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:18.320 Good seeing everybody, appreciate you guys being here. Chad just 0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.880 informed that is a massive hole in the sun. You 0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:25.960 guys hear about that sixty ears spitting out gamma rays. 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:27.840 Does that mean we're all going to be like Bruce 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:35.839 Banner Hawks? That'd be amazing, weren't they? Okay, on that note, 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:38.040 what questions you have? 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:39.400 So? 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:43.360 What kind of weather are you preparing for? N I 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.080 guess it'd be a little colder with a hole in 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.840 the sun. Probably we're preparing for cold weather and rain 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.880 and sleep and a you know, grass field is going 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.160 to be probably a little bit, a little bit loose, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:05.800 so getting ready for that, especially. 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.080 This rivalry with Pittsburgh. How do you think that has 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.959 influenced the locker room and especially kind of the bitter 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:16.000 taste of the left game. 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:17.000 You guys play. 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.720 Yeah, I mean, I don't think no matter who you 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.920 play in this particular game, in this situation, there would 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:25.480 be no lack of motivation. I mean, our guys love 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.760 to play. The pro football players. They want to go 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:28.800 out there and they want to play, and they want 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:30.680 to play while they want to win and they want 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:33.080 to put their best foot forward. The fact that it's 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:38.000 division rival, the Steelers, that certainly doesn't lessen it. You know, 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.080 that's it's always a very important game for us. It's 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.920 a team that we respect very much. We also understand 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.440 the type of game that we're always playing against those guys, 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.280 so our guys are looking forward to it. 0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:52.960 He's been kind of the guy the last couple of 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:55.279 weeks now that they've been winning a couple of games. 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.560 How has he kind of impacted that offense? Well, I mean, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.920 obviously they've been very success with him in there. I 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.800 think he's uh, he's he's making I think he's reading 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:06.360 the offense out. They've got, you know, kind of they've adjusted, 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.320 they've kind of written certain directions and away from certain 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.799 directions in terms of what they're running, what they're calling. Uh, 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.480 he's operating the offense really well, putting the ball where 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.639 it's supposed to go based on the coverage, and they're 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.040 running the ball really well. And he's done really well so, uh, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.840 you know, just kind of looked at him and how 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:26.120 he's it's there's still their offense, but his version of 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.320 it is what we're studying. The video you guys pusted 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:32.120 the pro bow announcements obviously, and particularly striking. 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.120 I think it was maybe. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.320 Patrick Queen's reaction how much how much it meant to him. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.640 I mean, was that kind of any thing for you 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:38.919 to see? I mean, you know how much he took 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.760 them to heart back when he was a twenty one 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.320 year old rookie, and was cool to see that. Well, yeah, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.400 it was great to see it. I mean, you know, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.160 it's very deserving. I thought he played great last year too, 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.440 and to see it recognized by the peers and the 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.160 fans and everybody. To see that video with Eric, it 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.240 was really cool to see. I mean, I thought that 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:58.640 was great with all the guys and yeah, just you know, 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:01.160 it means a lot of the guys to be recognized 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.200 like that. It's a pro football player. When you're a 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:07.240 pro football player, it always it's always strikes me, is 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.600 how much it means to the guys Every year when 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:10.799 you make those announcements. 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.520 What's it like for you when you're revealing one by 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.000 one in front of the whole team, and what's that like? 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.640 It's it's fun, man Like we of course we've got technology, 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:20.720 so you know, we'll get the screen, we get some drama. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.680 Did the lights a little bit? All of a sudden 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.000 the picture pops up for the player and uh goes crazy. 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:27.240 So it's it's a lot of fun. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.359 I guess how much of the I don't say like press, 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.320 but the kind of gap scheme that it's placed to run, they. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.480 Have been effective using it. You guys have been helping 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:42.920 down like that kind of stuff this year. 0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:44.960 How important are how much are you kind of looking 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.360 towards to how you guys defend that did this week 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:48.400 as a repair? 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:52.880 Yeah, I mean it's uh, it's uh. They run. They 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.839 run a couple of versions. They run of gaps games, 0:03:54.840 --> 0:03:57.160 they run you know, we're called duo with no fuller. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.000 You know they've been running that for years. They usually 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.280 do it with the tight ends side with extra tight 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.160 ends over there. Sometimes they'll bring the wide receivers down 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.000 there and insert them or or sift the backside and 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.960 then they run the puller gap skins. You know, the 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.640 power more than anything else with power. Oh and they've 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:14.920 been great at that, and I think the biggest thing 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.360 is it's a downhill run, but it can also bounce. 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.800 You know, if you stop it up inside and you 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:20.800 don't control your redges, those two backs will take it 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:22.599 outside of the second and they're both hard to tackle. 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:24.760 So it'll be a big challenge for us every week 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.640 stands on its own and stopping the run will be, 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.800 you know, job one force in this game. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.120 John. Opportunity do you think with Tyler? 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.440 I mean, we really haven't seen much this year because 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.000 Lamar has been there for all. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.000 What comportunity do you think this presents. 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:39.279 For him as well? 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:39.920 Oh? 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.800 Yeah, it's a big opportunity. I mean, you know, go 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:43.760 out there and then play against the defense like this, 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.720 you know, one of the top defenses. 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:45.680 In the league. 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.320 It's it's a great opportunity for him. But he's ready 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.240 for it. You know, I'm looking forward to seeing him play. 0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.080 The focus is on just execution at that quarterback spot. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.280 But is there any part of you can see how 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.800 you know differently Tyler kind of it's from Lamar and 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.040 you know, obviously the same kind of team, same play caller, 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:09.040 but so far there up the business. 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.479 Yeah, I mean it's that's true for for any quarterbacks 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.280 or any players. You know, everybody brings their own stamp 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:18.839 to it, you know. And then as a coach, I 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:20.719 think you recognize that. And when you play guys like 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.920 you're talking about Mason Rudolph, it's the same exact thing. 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.479 They have their different style. You kind of recognize that. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:26.679 It is fun to watch. 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.560 And again, a man which will not have a record 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.960 below five hundred, it's pretty a standing market over the years. 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.760 What's your what do you pregame conversations? Have they evolved 0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.479 over the time, Like from the beginnings, we're both young coaches, 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:41.239 and now that some of the guys have been around, 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.640 I appreciate that both young coaches. Yeah that's good. You 0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:47.920 mean yeah, well you said we were young coaches. Yeah, 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:54.680 you're right, Okay, I guess I'll take it. It's uh, 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.120 it's it's it's like any relationship. I mean, it's it's 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.960 certainly grown involved over the years. I have great respect 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.479 for Mike for what he's done, for their organization, for 0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.839 what they've done. I think his stamp is on the 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.880 football team without question. You know, they're a team that 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.800 plays winning football. They don't beat themselves, They don't have 0:06:11.800 --> 0:06:13.720 a lot of penalties, they don't turn the ball over. 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.440 And then his style is kind of ever since he 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.599 got there, they've been about playing good, solid football and 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.159 then being physical and then creating big plays, you know, 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.240 on both sides of the ball. So I think that's 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.280 there again now like it always is, and just come 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.200 to understand that. I think they probably have a pretty 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.880 good understanding and how we like to play, and probably 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.880 Mike and I probably have a pretty good understanding how 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.040 each other coaches his team, you know, So there won't 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.919 be too many surprises probably that way. But it's an 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.040 honor and I am I'm grateful for it and definitely 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.760 don't take that part of it lightly. It's a good 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.200 competitive relationship and it's been amazing. 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:51.880 That was head coach Jehan Harball. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.239 We also got the news this week of the Ravens 0:06:54.320 --> 0:06:57.320 having seven players selected to the Pro Bowl. One of 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.919 those guys is the first time Pro bowler is linebacker. 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.120 Had your queen.

I 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:30.760 don't run from a fight, and uh, it was just 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.600 some mu's worked out. Like I said, I had to 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.600 put in and understanding that I came in uh to 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.360 the lead raw uh young uh, but not that much 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:39.920 experience under my belt. So I knew it was gonna 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.199 be a building process, but I didn't expect it to 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.880 be that hard. And honestly, you know, it's just it. 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:47.559 I wouldn't trade it for the world. I wouldn't y 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.120 you know, uh redo anything that I I've been through, 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.120 I would still face everything like I did. 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:52.640 Uh. 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.160 I think that's what Bill's character and I think that 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:56.880 put me in a position that I am right now 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.080 just to uh, you know, be so confident in myself 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.079 and just u uh being able to cherish every moment. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.920 Patrick all year you and pro Corne and Adam and that 0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.080 you're the best linebacker do in the in the league. 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:09.480 How happier are you to see that you are the 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.400 two guys representing the inside line back the crew in the. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:14.240 End or so It's pretty dope. It's pretty dope. 0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.480 Uh, anytime you get to share share that man, uh, 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.480 being a teammate with him and the type of person 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.480 he is and uh how he plays the game and 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:23.640 just be able to share that kind of accolate with somebody. 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.800 I mean, it just means a lot, uh, just like 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.520 I respect this game or respect him as a person, uh, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.920 just everything about him, and you know, uh being able 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.040 to share that is huge. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.880 How you're basically emotional obviously in that video of the 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:36.880 day post. Did you remember a time before in your 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.280 football player that something brought out this much emotion? 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:41.200 And yet not not even cause I don't any think 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.280 we don't want to not out that happy honestly. Uh, 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.640 It's just it's I think it's just on a different scale, 0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:49.360 like the whole world is like you know, basically saying 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.199 Congress like, uh, you played, you had a hell of 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:55.280 a season, and it's just it's it's not a feeling. 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.720 I think that could relate to that. Honestly, you at 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:58.480 you say, dope. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.160 You just really know what's gonna happen after the season 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.280 in terms of where you are. Is that is that 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:04.880 in your mind at all? Is that freeing how you're 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:05.679 thinking about this run? 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.160 Or is that just you know, just shoved out of 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.040 it comes up every now and then by the end 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.559 of the day. Man, I'm happy where I'm at right now, honestly, 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.640 And you know, we still out, Like I said, we 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:15.640 got a lot of games out to play with that 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.200 one goal that we all want. So if we achieved that, 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:19.920 I think everything else to take care of itself. 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:21.880 Patrick. 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.600 We can see the the KT tape on your shoulder 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.280 and I've seen some things from games. 0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.400 What's the discussion like this week is you know, you know. 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.760 You could probably maybe be one of the guys who 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.199 gets some rested versus playing against the Steelers. 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:38.000 I'm gonna suit up. I'm soon up, so I'm excited 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.080 to get out there. I'm excited to play. 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:44.720 That was linebacker Patrick Queen. 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.559 Another Pro bowler on this team is center Tyler linderbob 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.600 first round pick, was selected in his second NFL season. 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.080 He's really established himself as one of the best centers 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.719 in all of football, and he reacted to that recognition 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.920 today on the podium. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.400 We told a little bit of video when Eric was 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.440 kind of breaking it to you. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.360 How's a feel when you kind of. 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.000 Get that honor of knowing that you're among the best, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.800 that you're at your position in the NFL. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.320 Yeah, you know, it feels good. I mean, especially you 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:21.440 know year two. You know, it's not really an accolade 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.679 I try to play for. Accolades aren't something I try 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.719 to play for. But I think it's it happens when 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:29.520 the team's playing well. You know, you're gonna get more 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:33.320 guys that, you know, get recognized. You know, I said 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.640 an interview yesterday. You know, I think a lot of 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.720 credit goes to my teammates as well too, you know, 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.480 the guys they play next to making my job a 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.880 little bit easier, you know, and then you know, the 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.480 coaching staff and stuff like that. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.160 But you know, it was a good feeling. 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:49.439 No, I mean, it wasn't a good feeling Initially when I 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:51.680 got I said, someone said I had to go up 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:56.320 and talk to EDC but because you know, you never know. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.360 But no, it was good when he told me. You know, 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.679 the cameras we're in there and it's a pretty cool experience. 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.360 I don't know, I don't know what we're going to 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:09.600 talk about, but you never know. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:12.680 Your first round picks a year. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:13.800 Ago, both in the Pro Bowl. 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.800 You share that with Kyle? What does that mean to him? Yeah, 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.480 just you know, we continue to work, continue to each other. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.480 You know, guys on the Steam, there's like a good 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.520 men that are deserving of being Pro Bowlers. 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:26.000 You know. 0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.360 I think there's a lot of talented guys on this team. 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:29.920 Especially Kyle. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.320 Kyle can do a lot of different things. 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:31.560 You know. 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:33.640 You guys see it on the field, you know, and 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:35.440 just in the locker room. He's a great guy too. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.400 So happy for him and proud of him, you know. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.760 But you know, I think a lot of guys can agree. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:43.840 You know, we still got another goal that we're chasing. 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:48.439 So not to minimize your talent and your work ethic 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:50.560 to get to this position, but is there anything that 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:56.200 the Ravens did. We're about the way things work here 0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:00.120 that you think has kind of helped maximize your ability 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.640 in your first two years year career. 0:14:02.080 --> 0:14:03.800 Yeah, Like I said, you know, we got a lot 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:05.400 of good players on this team. You know a lot 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.200 of guys around me that are really good and really 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.960 talented players. So anytime you're surrounding yourself by elite talent, 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.360 you know it's going to make you better. 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:14.839 And I think it's definitely done that. You know, the 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:15.679 first two years. 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.440 Just continue to get better, learn from each other, I 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:19.600 think is the biggest. 0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:25.080 Thing has been working offensive line has been different guys 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.320 than me. Oh, I think it's you know, I think 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.320 it's been good for us, you know, keeping guys fresh. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:32.360 Uh you know, you know we that deal with some 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.320 injuries and we won't guys be fresh in the fourth quarter. 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:38.240 And I think you know we've we've shown that and 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.360 guys are continuing to get healthier and stronger, and we 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:42.640 got a lot of guys on the line that can 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:43.320 play good football. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:44.400 So whoever's in there, you. 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.920 Know, we got one hundred trust and confidence and then 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.160 they'll get the job done. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:49.520 It's finely. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.400 Coming out of college, you had your critics who talk 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.720 about how small you were, and now you're pro bowlder. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:58.680 Yeah, you're always gonna have critics. You know, I still 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:00.800 there's still critics. You know, our what even if you. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:03.600 Make the Pro Bowl. You know, at the end of 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.760 the day, at the end of the day, you know, 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:07.640 the Pittsburgh Stars are gonna care on Saturday if I'm 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:08.880 a pro bowler and now I'm still gonna have to 0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:09.640 go out there and play. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.520 So you know, just. 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:17.480 Enjoy it for whenever they said, you know, I made 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.400 the problem, but I got to move ahead and you know, 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.840 focus on this upcoming game and then into the playoff 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.520 push because we're all chasing a goal. You know that 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:27.120 that is bigger than Pro Bowls. 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:28.359 You know, the guys. 0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:30.480 Around you contributed to to. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.239 That, to to your abilities.

Obviously the 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.560 talents there, but it is a communication recognition. What stood 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:52.000 out A. 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.920 Yeah, uh, you know, I think one whenever you got 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.720 a bunch of talented guys, you got to play together, 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:00.480 and I think you know, we've can t to get 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:03.520 better and better no matter who's in there, just you know, 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:06.880 all five playing together. You know, it doesn't do any 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:09.720 good if if four guys are playing playing well together 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.480 and then one guy isn't. You know, you gotta that's 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:16.240 the unique thing about the position is is the continuity, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.440 like you said, that needs to happen in order to 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.040 be successful as a unit and just continue to make 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.440 strides and strives to be better, and you know you 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.320 want to be playing your best football towards you know, 0:16:26.440 --> 0:16:29.920 December and January, you know, I think, and then we're 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:35.880 trying our hardest to get to that Point's. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.600 Sort of how to make best use of that extra 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:39.560 week that you guys did dider. 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.280 No, I haven't thought about it once. You know, we're 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.400 you know, Steelers got our got our number the last game, 0:16:44.400 --> 0:16:45.920 and I think you know our goal is to go 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.400 out here and win Saturday. So that's all our focus 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:53.120 is right now. Obviously, you know, really kind of bitter 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.280 finish to that game. It is that I know you 0:16:57.480 --> 0:16:59.520 want to win every game every week, But does that 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.120 add some spice your motivation for you guys in the 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:03.240 law firm this week? 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:05.159 Yeah?
