And as 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:19.880 we do on a typical Wednesday during a game week, 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.360 we hear from head coach John Harbaugh as well as 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:27.800 quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard from linebacker Rokwan Smith 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.200 as well as running back Derrick Henry, and then we 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.080 went into the locker room and caught up with safety 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:36.360 Kyle Hamilton as well as rookie cornerback Nate Wiggins. Let's 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.000 start off with head coach John Harbaugh. 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:44.360 Okay, good to see everybody. Sure appreciate you being here. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:46.720 Good day, hot day out here today. Guys did a 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:49.880 good job with practice and we're looking forward to getting 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:50.560 ready for the game. 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:53.800 What questions you have, John, You're pretty. 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:57.440 Familiar with six stacks over there over there with there's 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.920 practice packers. What's kind of the thing that you guys 0:01:00.240 --> 0:01:00.920 have to account for? 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:01.400 What well? 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:03.080 Is it something that he does it's different than some 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:03.760 other teams. 0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.520 No, I mean it's everybody's different than every other team. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.160 So it's kind of a tough question to answer. He's 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.760 he's unique and what he does a lot of things 0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:13.640 that he does we do. We do that he does 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:15.880 other teams do, and other things that are unique. It's 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.679 kind of the way it's all put together, probably for 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.000 any any coach, when when certain blitzes show up or 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.759 when coverages show up, He'll keep it moving on you. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.039 He'll keep you guessing, for sure. I think that's one 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.000 of the great strengths of what Steve does as a 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:29.000 defensive play caller. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.119 So, yeah, they do a great job. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.360 Are you finding that you have to balance the emotions 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.440 of week one, of last seasons and of this being 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.320 the Chiefs? Is that anything that's kind of bringing into 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.240 play and how do you as a coach? 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:45.119 Sure? 0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:47.160 I mean, I think those things are always in play. 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.600 It's it's an emotional game, it's an emotional sport. It's 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.320 an emotional life, isn't it. I mean the things that 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.440 you have in your life that you care about are 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:56.920 important to you, and you want to do well and 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.400 you want to be successful. Those are all things that 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.640 matter to all, you know, So no different for our guys. 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.040 So you know, we talk about the things that that 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:06.920 we need to do in terms of being successful. That's 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.360 what we talk about with the guys all the time, 0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.760 and the things that you're talking about are certainly part 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:10.960 of that. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.000 John, we've never talked to you since you guys have 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:16.760 brought in Tyler Huddly again. 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.280 Yeah, it's good to have Tyler back. 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:22.520 You know, he'll be he's working off the practice squad 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.720 be uh, he'll be in as our third quarterback at 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:26.959 this time right here, so you know, he kind of 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.160 knows the offense it's been. It's a lot different maybe 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:30.919 in some ways than it was when he was here, 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.360 but a lot the same too, So he'll have to 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:35.200 relearn a lot of things and see where we're at 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:36.560 since he's been gone. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.280 But he's doing a good job of that, very diligent 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:40.120 and we're happy to have him back. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.800 Coach Rigunni Thailand Wallace, the impact he has had on 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:48.120 training camp, special teams, how do you see he's development 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:49.200 to be an asset. 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:51.520 And yeah, I mean to me Toilan's been a very 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.520 steady grower as a football player, you know, and he's 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.240 developed into a very good player for us. He won 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.919 us a game last year. He's made he's made catches 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:01.600 on offense, he's blocked people. I expect him to take 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.640 another step, maybe the biggest step of his career so 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:05.280 far this year. 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.440 Hey, coach, you've been doing it before, but is it 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.519 kind of a unique and strange situation when you enter 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:12.880 of a game if you've. 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.600 Not seeing these guys in a live situation, whereas you. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.840 Know week three you've seen what these guys look like, 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:20.280 where some of these guys haven't played since the AFC 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.200 Championship in a live setting. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.160 Well, yeah, for sure, it's it's the first game. You know, 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:28.080 it's the opener, the real opener. It wouldn't be any 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:29.680 different even the head played in the game a little bit, 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.440 because it's still different, but it probably enhances that whole 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.240 kind of a situation more than it would. So there's 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:38.800 a lot of unknowns that you go in and I 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.000 think you learn a lot. You certainly have a better 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.000 understanding of where your team is that on Friday than 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.320 you do on Wednesday. So we'll be looking forward to 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:46.040 that part of it too. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:49.480 You think, with you know, some of the experience you 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.880 have along the offensive line, that you're asking for something 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.080 different than Ronnie Stanley in terms of being now one 0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:55.800 of the oldest guys. 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:58.640 They've been one of the oldest guys for a while. 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.600 I feel like, so, No, Ronnie's doing a great job. 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.000 He's working hard, he's looked good in practice, and see 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.880 him out there doing extra right now, I'm looking forward 0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.160 to seeing High Place Thursday night. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:10.160 John, there's only. 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.520 One team that you get to prepare for for a month, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.520 so you know, I had that's your next opponent. What 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.320 have you learned over the years about getting ready for 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:17.000 that opener? 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:18.400 And how's that kind of involved. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:19.960 Yeah, I mean, I don't know. There's a lot of things. 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.159 You learn about a lot of things and certainly take 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:24.440 it all into account. How you run training camp, how 0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:27.400 you run the practices up until that game, how you 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.239 organize the reps, all those different kinds of things. 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:30.560 But one of the big. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.559 Lessons to me is that you have to remember it's 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:34.839 it's the first game, but it's not the only game. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.039 So you know, we're gonna have another game after that, 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:39.320 and we're gonna have We're gonna we're gonna have seventeen 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.440 regular season games and as many postseason games as we earn, 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:44.640 so that we've got to keep that in mind and 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:47.200 kind of keep it in perspective that way have been. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:48.040 You've had maybe. 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:50.560 Less interactions with the Andy over the summer because this 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:51.360 is the first game. 0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.320 We never talk over the summer anyway. He's too busy. 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.520 He's out there in Huntington Beach at his beautiful beach 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:59.280 home out there, So I never hear from him in 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:00.240 the summer to. 0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:02.800 Do the coaching Academy interview thing. 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:05.240 He did that a few years ago. Actually, yeah, so 0:05:05.320 --> 0:05:07.080 we'll be we'll be looking for another one here soon. 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.239 I have to let him know expecting a new interview. 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:13.720 But did you watch it? 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:14.080 Wow? 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:16.400 Was that? 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:23.040 Was that the interviewer? The interviewe it turned you turned off? Okay? Wow, okay, 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.839 boom China. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.880 I think there was a practice pretty early this summer 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.040 where you guys have a lot of heavy blitzers of 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.200 them are he was really really good against it in 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:35.200 training camp. Obviously, they blitzed you with you know, six 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.440 man pressures, seven man pressures pretty often in that Age 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.760 Champions game. What does it take for you guys to 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.320 be successful to guess that kind of pressure. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.040 Yeah, it's gonna take. 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.240 It's gonna take I ding those those uh, the pressures 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.560 when they're coming I ding how we're to pick them 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:50.120 up or to block them or to throw off them 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.720 with the hots and different things in the executing. 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:53.040 That's what it takes, you know. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.200 And when they when a team comes after you with 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.080 blitzes and you've got to you've got to meet him. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:58.880 You've got to meet him where they stand, stand your 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.640 ground and and uh and uh and attack them. 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:02.800 That's that's what you have to do. 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:04.800 So we've been working hard at that, we always have, 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.040 and I'm looking forward to seeing how we do. 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.040 So I'm looking over film from preseason. Can you take 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:12.960 away a whole lot from watching the Chiefs preseason tape 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.400 or really any team's tape for Week one and bearing 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.680 against them? Or is it just a lot of vanilla 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.479 style plays that they're working on with, you know, not 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:21.279 even their starters. 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:22.920 Sometimes Yeah, it's uh. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.840 You watch it, you get a few notes and just 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.279 kind of see where they're at style wise, I guess, 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:28.359 but you don't get a lot from it. 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:38.680 Now, here's quarterback Lamar Jackson, So Mark getting Matt. 0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.560 Mark Andrews back there on the practice field. Whatever the years, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:43.960 why do you think he has been such a good 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.159 end zone, red zone. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:50.039 Target field, end zone, red zone, down the field, on 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:53.640 the side side, making catches, just all around. Man, he's 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.680 just got a great feel for the game and he 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.480 made my job a lot easier. And I say a 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:01.560 lot about Mark and what he does for this game, 0:07:01.600 --> 0:07:03.400 but man, he just a great all around tight end 0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:04.480 and la Mark. 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:05.839 How do you feel to have his new back in 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:06.320 the building? 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:09.320 Have the ho oh, the snoop oh, Man, it's great 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:10.960 to have my brother back in the building. Man, great 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.160 to see him. Man, you know, cut his hair, a 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.400 different approach, look look a little like mature like you know, 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.320 but it's great to have my brother back, man, definitely. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.640 Or a two part question, how much of a relationship 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:25.680 if you have any with Patrick Mahomes And just what 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.880 do you see from him on the field that makes 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.160 him unique? And and what do you take away from 0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:30.560 his game? 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.720 I don't I don't have a relationship with him. I 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:38.200 don't think I have a relationship with any quarterback in 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.360 the league. I don't take anything from it, any anything 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.720 from him. You know, I just play my game. But 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.400 he's a great quarterback. I'm say that he's a great quarterback. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:50.360 He has the accolades to prove it. But man, He's 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.440 just he may thing. He made things happen on the 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.400 field that make it seem successful. 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:56.440 I can see that. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:07:58.480 Mare week. 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.280 Yeah, what's the biggest challenge to playing out there in 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.000 Kansas City? We know it's gonna be amped up. We 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.440 won every but historically and you know you played out there, 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.240 you played some great games. Uh, what's the toughest thing 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:08.960 about playing there? 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.520 We just not in front of our crowd. Uh, the 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.760 whole game is not like the whole Raven flock there. 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.640 But it's I I know it's our fan base is 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.440 always traveling with us, but it's just not our crowd. 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:19.560 That's all. 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:23.040 That's the biggest difference. And I'll say that, how do 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:23.880 you need the noise? 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.400 How do you use a quarterback handle all that noise? 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.800 Just like any other environment, you know, just stay poised, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.880 stay locked in and listen to the cars, walk up 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:35.280 to the line when I make my checks, and let 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:36.280 my line know what we're doing. 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:37.080 Stuff like that. 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:39.360 Well, what was your reaction when you saw this game 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:40.920 come up on the schedule? You know, you were playing 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.240 the Chiefs. But for the NFL to make this the 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:46.120 season opener means they obviously think a lot about this 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:46.840 match out. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:48.319 Or uh yuh. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.120 I'm approaching like any other game, you know, but it's 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.679 the start of the season, so we gotta make a 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.240 greater imperson for the first game of the season. 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.079 When you say you're approaching like any other game, revenge 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:58.839 won't be on your mind at all, And I'm sure 0:08:58.840 --> 0:08:59.960 it'll be on the Ravens flock. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.079 I mean, any game I play and I feel like 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.040 it's a revenge game. So I'm not just gonna look 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.720 at this game like in the a revenge game anybody 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.560 we played, no matter if we beat 'em or lost 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.280 to 'em prior uh, previous years. 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:13.559 I just wanna win, mar like. 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:17.200 You know, pretty much have winning records against pretty much 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.800 all the teams and quarterbacks my homes in Kansas City 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.360 is the one team that's kind of been the opposite 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:22.840 of a little bit? 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.120 Does that certainly any motivation for you at all? 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.800 Like I just said, that's r pretty much similar to 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.360 that question. I'm approach to every game the same way. 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.839 You know, I wanna win regardless win lose to daw 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:37.080 previous times.
