1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: It's Thursday, October twenty sixth and you were listening to

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens are gearing up

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: for a matchup coming up against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday,

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: and today we had a chance to hear from the coordinators.

5
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: Let's kick things off with special teams coordinator Chris Horton's.

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: Got some skykicks over there was what.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 3: Was kind of the possi you know, I think the

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 3: first one, you know, we just felt like, you know,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 3: as an opportunity, we had that wind blown in our face.

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 3: We just felt like, hey, if if we couldn't get

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: the ball in the end zone, just just not knowing

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 3: early on, give us an opportunity put a ball in play.

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 3: It's had something we haven't done in a while. So

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 3: just give us an opportunity to let our guys cover

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 3: down there, just try to make a play.

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 4: Get Tyler Wallace died, See what's his importance?

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 3: You know, Tiland has done a very good job for us,

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 3: you know, and you know, like I said before, you know,

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 3: any guy that's that that's at our disposal, we're gonna

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: use him. So it's good to see him back out here. Practice,

21
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 3: running around, uh, getting himself called back up. But you know, obviously, uh,

22
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: you know what he brings to the table is uh,

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 3: it's been it's been really good for us, you know.

24
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 5: Uh, we miss having him out there.

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: He's a good he's a good football player, is a

26
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 3: good gunner, he's a physical player. You know, all those

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 3: things that we talk about and we preach from our

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 3: from our special teams and what we look for.

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 6: What's the difference for still on a game like Sundays

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 6: where your only punting twice, adre to game.

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 5: For your punt anymore.

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: Uh, you know those That's happened to Sam a couple

33
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: of times throughout his career, and so for it to

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: happen to Jordan's on Sunday, you know, I think that

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 3: first punt came two minutes left in the third quarter,

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: you know, and and and for him, it's just a

37
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: it's just a mindset thing, right. He has that net

38
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: over there. He's got to keep himself locked in, uh,

39
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: in tune to the game. And so when he goes

40
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: out there, you know, it could only be one punt,

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: and we expect that punt to be you know, high level,

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: and uh, that first punt man, it was.

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 5: It was outstanding. Guys covered well.

44
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: We also talk with defensive coordinator Mike McDonald.

45
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: After having a game like that, especially defensively, having so

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 2: many positive things, as a coach, do you try to

47
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: do some things to make sure that's you know, because

48
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: all week they're going to get their pats on the back,

49
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: you're all how good they are and things like that.

50
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: As a coach, do you try to do some things

51
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,839
Speaker 2: to keep things in check.

52
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 7: I don't think you're not making the decisions based off

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 7: of kind of the weather and and the way the

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 7: winds blowing. I think you're just going off of what

55
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 7: the tape told you. And the tape told us that

56
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 7: we did the things that we needed to do to

57
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 7: win the game. So that was that was really good,

58
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 7: you know, starting fast things like that. But tape all

59
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 7: also told us that there were some things that, you know,

60
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 7: we definitely have to make sure we get cleaned up

61
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 7: moving forward. So that's the message, and it just depends

62
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 7: on on a week to week basis, and this this

63
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 7: week was really honest, it's just no different than any

64
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 7: other weeks.

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 5: Click for Justin Manibikka.

66
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 8: We've seen flashes ever since he was drafted, but to

67
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 8: consistently put it together week after week. What do you

68
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 8: what has happened for that to turn over.

69
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 7: I don't see an impetus, you know, per se of

70
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 7: something clicking. I just I think you've seen his work

71
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 7: ethic over the course of the off season. Just let's

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 7: take this this whole calendar year for example, just had

73
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 7: a great off season here, all the time, put in

74
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 7: all the work, always a great attitude, and then anytime

75
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 7: you're watching one on ones and the things that we're stressing,

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 7: you know up front in terms of the pass rush

77
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 7: was executing at a high level. So I just I

78
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 7: think you know, the whole year, and then go back

79
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 7: to last year. Just like I said, I mean, just

80
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 7: that that effort, energy, focus that's always been there with

81
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 7: Justin and you know, the the maybe the results hadn't

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 7: been there as much for whatever reasons, whether.

83
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 9: It's opportunity or not. But I think you're obviously seeing

84
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 9: it come together now.

85
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 7: It's kind of like when someone says you're an overnight success,

86
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 7: but it's really like ten years of hard work.

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 9: I think I think that's a good example of Justin.

88
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 10: You're getting that consistent pass rush production from an interior

89
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 10: guy like that.

90
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 11: How important is that in terms of the overall plan

91
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 11: to kind of keep the quarterback off balanced.

92
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's a great question. I mean it's huge.

93
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 7: You know, people think of pass rushers as guys just

94
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 7: on the edge, but obviously there's some great ones throughout

95
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 7: the league. You know, there's there's more gaps than there

96
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 7: are rushers the majority of the time. So interior rush

97
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 7: is gonna be very important, you know, to push the

98
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 7: pocket and then understand you know, when you have a

99
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 7: two way go, when you can make a move, how

100
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 7: you counter at the level, things like that. So there's

101
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 7: a lot that goes into it. But definitely, you know,

102
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 7: a guy like like Beaks up front, you know, doing

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 7: what he's doing is great. You know, I'd beer miss

104
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 7: if if you don't mention guys like Michael Pierce and

105
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 7: and Brody and and Travis Jones and the other guys

106
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 7: that are rushing inside because a lot of times those

107
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 7: guys are taking the double teams and pushing the pocket

108
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 7: and that allows you for other guys to have single

109
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 7: blocks and that's what makes the whole thing go, as

110
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 7: well as matching the route, so the timing is right.

111
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 9: So it's a team effort. It's all eleven really, but

112
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 9: it's great to have a guy inside that can do

113
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 9: what he's doing. Like a lot of the reports code

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 9: out of the air is there that they're taking.

115
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 6: Their time with Kyler Murray.

116
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 12: But when you see the practice fully as it did yesterday,

117
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 12: how did you approach that as a defensive point hit?

118
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, you got to be ready for it. You

119
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 9: got to be ready for him.

120
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 7: Obviously, there's no reps of him this year in this system,

121
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 7: so you're you would try to marry you know, his

122
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 7: skill set and what you've seen in the past with

123
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 7: what they're trying to do. Not an easy task. You know,

124
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 7: we'll see what happens throughout the rest of the week,

125
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 7: but it's definitely something you have to be ready for

126
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 7: if he if he is out there.

127
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,559
Speaker 13: Mike, I know you've been asked about Gino throughout the season,

128
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 13: but when a player produces like that, you know, does

129
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 13: that change what you're able to do with him or

130
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 13: is it more of like a continuation of the plan

131
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 13: you're trying to execute when he's putting up numbers.

132
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 7: I think it's a continuation of the plan. To Gino's credit,

133
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 7: I don't want to take what he's away from what

134
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 7: he's doing. But the players are coming to him through

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 7: the scheme and hit through his responsibility, and that's I'm

136
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 7: commending him by executing at a high level. And it's

137
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 7: like the ball finds energy you're you know, if you're

138
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 7: doing things the right way all the time and playing

139
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 7: with high energy, the ball will find you. And when

140
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 7: it does, he's been able to make a play on

141
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 7: the ball. So he's doing a great job, but we've

142
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 7: got to keep it rolling.

143
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: When you're looking at the Cardinals offense, how important will

144
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: be to keep your former perceiver your Hollywood brown and

145
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: get in front of it each other.

146
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a he's an explosive player, and he's someone

147
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 7: you have to account for both in the vertical game

148
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 7: and in the in the catch and run game. So

149
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 7: you know, he's I wouldn't say unique in that matter,

150
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 7: but there's not a lot of guys that have that

151
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 7: that both of that skill set.

152
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 9: So that's something that we definitely definitely have to account

153
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 9: for for sure.

154
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 6: How do you think he's Just the experience of see

155
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 6: Lamar in practice every day prepares you guys. First team,

156
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 6: whether it's Kyler or Dobbs and just the quarterback design

157
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 6: right threat that Arizona will probably present.

158
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 9: H Yeah, that's a good question. I think.

159
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 7: You know, when you're practicing the things throughout camp, he

160
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 7: gives you a realistic look of if you could make

161
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 7: the player or not.

162
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 9: You know, you stay away from them more.

163
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 7: Sometimes there's some plays where you're like, oh, we would

164
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 7: have tackled them, you know, and you probably wouldn't have,

165
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 7: but you can get onto the next play, so you know,

166
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 7: I wouldn't overdo it much.

167
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 9: But obviously, you know, having an elite.

168
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 7: Quarterback like that that you're seeing every day really in

169
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 7: any scheme, you know, Iron Sharpen's Iron in that manner,

170
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 7: Like we've.

171
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 10: Seen the versatility in your scheme talked about with inside

172
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 10: linebackers and secondary as a hole as they played with

173
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 10: top positions. Something on the film though, showed Michael Pierce

174
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 10: and some defensive lineman dropping back into coverage as important.

175
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 10: Just what did they show in that regard to be

176
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 10: able to entrust them with such a play call and

177
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 10: the other guys making the plays surrounding them.

178
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would just I mean, it's just we're blessed

179
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 9: that we have a unit that.

180
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 7: Plays together and you can do a lot of different

181
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 7: things where different guys are getting credit for stuff and

182
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 7: a lot there's a lot of heavy lifting going on

183
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 7: where you're not necessarily making the play, but you're setting

184
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 7: some of your teammate up for success us. And when

185
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 7: you have eleven guys playing like that, you got a

186
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 7: really good chance to be pretty good. And that's something

187
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 7: that we're focusing on, something that we've harped on as

188
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 7: a unit. Our coaches do a great job of, you know,

189
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 7: just like pick games for example, like setting the other

190
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 7: guy up, not being selfish and playing team football.

191
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 9: And when you do that, you got a really good

192
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 9: chance to win games.

193
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 6: On a technique level, is there a name for like

194
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 6: the kind of the player where you see Mike Pierce,

195
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 6: you know, engage the center of the guard just long

196
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 6: enough before dust back. I mean, what is there a

197
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 6: name for that kind of rush or drop or whatever

198
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 6: it is.

199
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: We can talk probably on it, but you know there

200
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 9: probably is a call for it.

201
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 12: Yes, Like heard just a bunch of guys, especially in

202
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 12: recent weeks, just saying how they really feel like the

203
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 12: unit is gelling really well in recent weeks.

204
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 4: From a defensive coordinator, like, how do you see that happening?

205
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 4: Do you see that happening? How does that happen? And

206
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 4: how does that really it?

207
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 7: Well, it's great to hear that, you know, I didn't

208
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 7: I didn't. Uh, I didn't catch that, but awesome to hear.

209
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 7: And that's again, that's something that is goes unnoticed. We

210
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 7: talked about, you know, in our meeting earlier in the week.

211
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 7: It's it's about the little details that you don't necessarily

212
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 7: see is what makes the difference. And camaraderie and and

213
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,319
Speaker 7: selflessness and effort and execution are things that don't aren't

214
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 7: necessarily shown to the naked eye when you're when you're

215
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 7: watching the tape. So to answer your question, that's those

216
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 7: are the things that you see on a play in

217
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 7: and play out basis is execution, guys doing the things

218
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 7: their coach to do, playing really hard, having great energy

219
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 7: in the meeting rooms, and focus and having taken in

220
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 7: a day to day to day mentality, and those are

221
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 7: the things as a coach you know you're striving for

222
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 7: all the time.

223
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 9: And we and we're chasing it still.

224
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 7: I mean we're not there by any means, but we're

225
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 7: we're chasing it and you can feel it, you know,

226
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 7: on a day to day basis, for sure.

227
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 6: I think there are some thought that one one of

228
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,599
Speaker 6: the Humphrey came back, he could slide and slot and

229
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 6: abw way to get Stevens, keep.

230
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 9: Him out there and then maybe get dark be your Rocky.

231
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 6: House scene or even Armer Davis. How is the way

232
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 6: Arthur Molest played inside kind of solidified things for you guys,

233
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 6: and maybe you know, change in what you do with

234
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 6: the defensive backs there.

235
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 7: Well, A lot a lot of the decisions we've made

236
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 7: in the back is a functional one. Who's available and uh,

237
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 7: and just just the the overall skill set that you're

238
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 7: working with. But to your point about Arthur has been

239
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 7: playing really good football for us and uh, and then

240
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 7: that would that would drive some decisions on not having

241
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 7: to shake things up per se, It's not out of

242
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 7: the question moving forward. I mean, we have a lot

243
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 7: of good guys back there that you know, we want

244
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 7: to get on the field and then have deserved chances

245
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 7: to be out there. So I think you'll see us

246
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 7: mix it up, you know, over the next few weeks

247
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 7: based on matchups and who's available and things like that.

248
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 7: But definitely Marlin going to the slot isn't out of

249
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 7: the question. And that's nothing against Arthur. He's obviously playing

250
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 7: really good football. But you know, you're always looking for

251
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 7: ways to get get your best guys out there based

252
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 7: on based on the situa.

253
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 13: Mike, what was your reaction to the news coming out

254
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 13: of Michigan this week?

255
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 7: You know, I appreciate the question. It's I've been here

256
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 7: two years, you know, I'm a Raven now and obviously

257
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 7: all our focus is really move is on the Cardinals

258
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 7: this week, But appreciate the question.

259
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 1: That was defensive coordinator Mike McDonald. We also talked with

260
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Todd Munkin, who actually got the game ball

261
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: on Sunday. That was a big moment for him as

262
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens completely dominated that game against the Lions. The

263
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: offense had its best showing of the season. They scored

264
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: touchdowns on their first four drives of the game. Monkin

265
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: talked about that performance and how the Ravens built on

266
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: that moving forward.

267
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 6: And they showed the time inside a locker footage after

268
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 6: the game looked like a pretty mean coul for you.

269
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 5: Kind of talked about what was well, you know a

270
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 5: lot of things frustration, you know, like I said, no,

271
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 5: that's the way it should look. You know, I don't

272
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: think you ever anticipate scoring touchdowns to your first four drives,

273
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 5: but that's what you're paid to do. You're paid to

274
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 5: put a product out there, maximize your players potential, and

275
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 5: we did that. You know, it feels good and it

276
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: feels like crap when it doesn't. I don't know how's

277
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 5: to say it, you know, just the way it is.

278
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,599
Speaker 5: So from that part of it, you know, it was

279
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 5: a chance to enjoy it, you know what I'm saying.

280
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 5: So no, the way to put it, you know what

281
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 5: I'm saying. The end of the game, you play well enough,

282
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 5: you hold up your out of the bargain. Guys play good,

283
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,319
Speaker 5: you know, you play like your cable playing. We really

284
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 5: hadn't a game like that since the Bengals. We really

285
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 5: had played like that against the Bengals, and we had

286
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 5: had spots you know, here or there, you know, But

287
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 5: now we're looking forward. We're through through week seven and

288
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 5: now it's onto week eight and hopefully we can stack

289
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 5: those type of games together.

290
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 11: What it can be.

291
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 12: Do you think that that can act as kind of

292
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 12: a springboard to doing that more regularly.

293
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 5: I hope. So, I mean, you know that's what you're

294
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 5: looking for of what what does it look like in

295
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 5: my opinion on Wednesday and then Thursday and then on Friday.

296
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 5: And how do you carry that over? That's not only

297
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 5: in the practice field. That's up when you're game planning.

298
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 5: That's when you're deciding what you're gonna do in any

299
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: down in distance, any part of the field, and then

300
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 5: making sure that the players you detail it out exactly

301
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 5: what you anticipate and what they can anticipate from play calls.

302
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes just goes your way. Sometimes it doesn't.

303
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 5: I wish it was that simple, but sometimes it just

304
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 5: goes your way.

305
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 11: Sorry for interrupting, But those those r FO designs specific

306
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 11: to Lamar kind of running out like he has the

307
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 11: design to run. How how specific was that to a

308
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 11: quarterback like Lamar who has those unique talent.

309
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 5: Some are, some aren't, some are part of you know,

310
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,079
Speaker 5: a read scheme with that built in. Just how and

311
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: that that one play call forced him to keep it

312
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 5: and then obviously defender squeeze to him and he spit

313
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: the ball out. So again, we had a number of

314
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 5: those in the plan and we've had those up. It

315
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 5: just sometimes just didn't present themselves. You know, they were

316
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 5: more chase mechanics. We've had games where they've been mess charge,

317
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 5: we've had games where they've served, So even though some

318
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 5: of the calls might have been up, we just didn't

319
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 5: get the same look.

320
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: Do you feel like Lamar has a particular special ability

321
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: to to get the ball where it needs to go

322
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: while he's on sort of while he's running, or while

323
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: he's making it look like he's about to run, or

324
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 4: just on nonstandard kind of foot.

325
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: For sure, you guys have seen it. I mean his

326
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 5: off platform arm angles, ability to get the ball in

327
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 5: space and see the field is unique. And he's done

328
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 5: a great job, really has and you know we're just

329
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 5: we're just getting started. We really are, you know, really

330
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: just getting started, and we just got to build from here.

331
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 14: A thousand lines obviously very good in past protection and

332
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 14: also the luxury of having Patrick Card we left tackle

333
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 14: essentially and block might that what kind of lectury and

334
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 14: how the creators that allowed you and you.

335
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 5: Can move forwardy to two up like that. I thought

336
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 5: the whole line did a great job in protection. Obviously

337
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 5: we use patent a number of ways. He's got a

338
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 5: unique skill set, so we use him in pass pro,

339
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 5: we use him in protection and sometimes if the man

340
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 5: that the defender that had him in mayon added. So

341
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 5: you don't count on a forty yard game to pat

342
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: Ricard on a checkdown, but you'll take it.

343
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 2: You seemed like the earlier one a lot of pre

344
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: snap movement, multiple prestat movement. Was that were you looking

345
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: for something specific or was it just.

346
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 15: Kind of just you know, part of what you're doing.

347
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 5: We've had some of the pre stat movement, and we

348
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 5: had a little bit more on third downs this past week,

349
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 5: but we've had it, maybe not as many you know,

350
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 5: our pos in the past. You know, the way this

351
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: defense played kind of presented that to us a little

352
00:15:59,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 5: bit more.

353
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 6: This is there other than other than the end result?

354
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 6: Is there a common denominator is some of the best point.

355
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 6: I guess issues between Justice of Lamar have sort of

356
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 6: reared with some of the fumbles on these changes.

357
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 5: You know, obviously we've got to get it fixed. That

358
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 5: one in particular was different than the one you know

359
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 5: in Cleveland, which was a miscommunication in terms of the play.

360
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 5: But obviously it doesn't matter who the back is. I mean,

361
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 5: when you have some QB driven runs with Lamar's ability

362
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 5: to pull it and get on the perimeter. You have

363
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 5: to be elked at that part of the game. If

364
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 5: you're under center and you're really not QB driven, that

365
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 5: isn't a factor. There isn't the read part of it.

366
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 5: That element comes into play with the athletic quarterbacks, the

367
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 5: guys that can attack the perimeter, and we have to

368
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 5: be lead at no matter who that is, whether it's

369
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 5: a receiver coming in motion, its one of our running backs.

370
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 5: We have to be because you don't want to get

371
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: to the point because you can't take that out of

372
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 5: your plan. It's a big part of what you do.

373
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 9: Like you said, sometimes it just works out.

374
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 12: But just from your perspective, I think everybody's wondering why

375
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 12: it came together the way it did on Sunday, right,

376
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 12: Why did it all come together and look so good

377
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 12: and work out so well?

378
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: From your perspective, why, Well, if you asked our team,

379
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 5: I thought last Wednesday was our best practice. Again, I

380
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 5: thought over the last few weeks we practiced well. Didn't

381
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 5: play as well against Pittsburgh, obviously played better against Tennessee,

382
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 5: just didn't finish in the red zone. And I think

383
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 5: they had started to see that, had started to see

384
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: that the things we were doing, and I think last

385
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 5: Wednesday Thursday were a couple of our best practices. That

386
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 5: doesn't always mean that it's going to carry over, but

387
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: I thought those guys saw that the energy level was great.

388
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 5: Thought they started feeling better about the things that we

389
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 5: were doing, and it just carried over to Saturday, and

390
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 5: we made plays at critical times. You know, even when

391
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 5: we didn't get one of the third downs, we came

392
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: right back and got it on the second one we

393
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 5: had offsetting penalties and got the next one on a

394
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 5: third and eleven. We hit Zay on a deep out

395
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 5: route that converted and kept a drive going. So even

396
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 5: when we didn't have a number of third downs in

397
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 5: that game, but when we needed third downs we converted

398
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 5: early in the game. That kept drives going. So sometimes

399
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: you have to make a play when you get to

400
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 5: the third downs and you're not being explosive to convert,

401
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 5: and we did a much better job scheming it, calling

402
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 5: it in the red zone. You know, we were explosive,

403
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 5: We were aggressive, right, And that's that's the key, is

404
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 5: how do you find a way once you get those drives,

405
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 5: convert on third downs and then get touchdowns in the

406
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 5: red zone, which we had like a little lapse. There

407
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 5: are obviously a couple of games, but we had been

408
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: good up till that point, and we were good. We

409
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 5: were good the other day and would have had a

410
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 5: chance at the other one. We got a little holding call. Uh,

411
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 5: But the guys, the guys were on point. When we

412
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 5: talked to the players afterward, by and largest, they were

413
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 5: not you fust I mean, they were all saying, well,

414
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 5: there's still a lot of things we could have done better.

415
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 12: When we look at the film, you know, we'll see that.

416
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 5: As a coach to you, do you like to hear that? Sure?

417
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you're always looking for perfection. You're

418
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: looking to be elite whatever you do. So I think

419
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 5: there was frustration that before the half that we turned

420
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: the ball over, could have finished the half on our terms,

421
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 5: and then at the end when we had an opportunity

422
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: we end up kicking a field goal, and then when

423
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 5: we put in some of the other guys, we could

424
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 5: have finished the game on our terms. So we didn't

425
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: finish the half on our terms, and we didn't finish

426
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 5: the game on our terms. No matter who's in the game,

427
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 5: and not give it back to their offense and put

428
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: our defense back out there. We could have to me

429
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 5: ending both halves on our terms is what you're looking for.

430
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 6: I think just a piggyback up with podcast. You know,

431
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 6: we saw the offense pass for bridge fifty yards and

432
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 6: then you know Kurt Warner's breakdown says that there's some

433
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 6: issues still with the space, you know, the route concepts

434
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 6: and stuff like that. I guess, how would you kind

435
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: of assess just the process of.

436
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 5: Both Sure, No, I think anytime I don't disagree with

437
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 5: some of the things he's saying, I think in terms

438
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 5: of making sure that we're on point in terms of

439
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: if you're spacing, in terms of everybody being on the

440
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 5: same page. But do I think that any different than

441
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 5: most weeks. No, you know, I think you can break

442
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 5: down anybody and say, hey, I think that was maybe

443
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: taking the other side of the narrative because it was

444
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 5: so much one side, so you go to the other

445
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 5: side of the narrative a little bit. I don't think

446
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 5: either side's wrong. I think there were certain things we

447
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 5: did that were really outstanding that you look in and say, wow,

448
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: we can bill on and there's other things that we'll

449
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 5: get glossed over because you won, and you'll look at

450
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: and go, that's got to be a lot better, or

451
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 5: we can't be who we want. And it's the same

452
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: way when you don't play as well. There's things you

453
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 5: won't look at and you'll look at you go, boy,

454
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 5: we did that really well. And yet there's things that

455
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 5: you won't look at it that way because of the

456
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 5: way you've finished. So I don't disagree with either side

457
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 5: of it. There was some elite things we did and

458
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: there's some things that for sure we've got to clean

459
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 5: up and not just count on that eight. It's going

460
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 5: to run around and make a play, right, he is going.

461
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 13: To do that.

462
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: That is what he does. But that's not my job.

463
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 5: Our job is to be elite in getting guys in

464
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 5: the right spots, calling it being aggressive, getting the guys

465
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 5: in the right spots and letting our allent shine.

466
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 7: It's going to get a lot better.

467
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 12: Example.

468
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 5: I just think there's it's more than just one thing.

469
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 5: I think it's consistency in terms of route depths right

470
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 5: here and out of the huddle right if we're changing

471
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 5: a play right, there's just over time and This is

472
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 5: no different than any game. There's mister Simon here getting

473
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: lined up here, how we're doing it here, So we're

474
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 5: hearing it out of the huddle, getting lined up. Our

475
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 5: spacing's right. So again, so we don't count on some

476
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 5: ad lib lib, just Lamar making a play and making

477
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: up for it, which can occur in the run game too.

478
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 5: It could occurred in the RPO world where all of

479
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: a sudden he ends up just making a play.

480
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 13: Right.

481
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 5: Those are things that he has a unique ability to do.

482
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 5: But when you really take off is you shrink those

483
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 5: other things and again you let your talent shine and

484
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 5: you're really everybody's executing at a high level, including Lamar,

485
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: including how we call it and how we scheme it,

486
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: all the above, all the above making.

487
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 8: Up forward in the RBO was that the eighty yard

488
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 8: pitch to Goss rely the little pass was that he

489
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 8: looked like he wanted to go left off three and

490
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,200
Speaker 8: then let it saw something that just him again eighty eight.

491
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 5: Now it is a naked to the left and he

492
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 5: ended up coming back to the right and then Gus

493
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 5: was there. Man, I'd love to say that we designed

494
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 5: that and we dumped to the back for eighty yards.

495
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 5: I mean, well, it end up we were running a

496
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: naked and we were going left and he ended up

497
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 5: seeing a defender to the left and didn't end up

498
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 5: getting the mark. His nature took it to the right

499
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 5: and he found Guss And those are things that he

500
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 5: is gonna do outside of that, those are the things

501
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,360
Speaker 5: in the plays that he's gonna make. And getting him

502
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: on the perimeter, getting guys out in routes is a

503
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 5: good thing for Lamar because he does have a unique

504
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 5: ability to see people down the field, so as you

505
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 5: can protect him. He is a natural playmaker. You guys

506
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 5: know that, and uh, you got to embrace that, you know,

507
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 5: in terms of certain things. That's why we're pushing everything

508
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 5: in a direction of all right, let's have that be

509
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 5: a bonus. Let's have that be a bonus. Let's be

510
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 5: leaded execution, let's be leaded how it's supposed to look,

511
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 5: and then the other part is a bonus.

512
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: In addition to the coordinators in the locker room, we

513
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: also talked with some of the key players, including wide

514
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: receiver Nelson Aguilar, who talked about the strong showing from

515
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: the offense and what the Ravens can do to build

516
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: off of that.

517
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 16: We've been preparing and I think at the end of

518
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 16: the day's executing what you're prepare. And I think last

519
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 16: Sunday was an example of that, and then the previous

520
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 16: weekly similar situation.

521
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 9: How do you kind of carry that over?

522
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 12: You know, when you execute at such a high level,

523
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 12: that's a high bar to set.

524
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 9: How do you approach it?

525
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 16: The problem to be consistent about your preparation. You know,

526
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 16: that's one thing that has to be consistent throughout because

527
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 16: you know situations very defenses play hard, they adjust, But

528
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 16: how you prepare, you know what you watch on tape,

529
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 16: the corrections in the meeting room, the effort at practice,

530
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 16: the tension to detail. That practice has to stay consistent

531
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 16: to at least yourself a chance to be consistent.

532
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,880
Speaker 9: On Sundays, Trod Munkin.

533
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 12: Was saying that last week during practice, it felt like

534
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 12: you guys had some of your best practices of the year.

535
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 9: What what was it did you feel like from practice field?

536
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 16: I th I thought our attention to detail was there.

537
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 16: We just practiced hard. You know, we had great energy.

538
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 16: I think the energy is the most important part, you know,

539
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 16: practicing with you know, enthusiasm and joy plays a big

540
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 16: part in how it looks, you know, cause we always

541
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 16: you know, I think guys always do the right thing,

542
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 16: run hard, go here and there. But with the excitement

543
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 16: you practice with, you know, the energy you practice with

544
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 16: gives everybody a good feeling. Similar similar man, we we

545
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 16: practiced with great and focus and enthusiasm, enthusiasm, and we

546
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 16: just trying to get better.

547
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 12: Tren Munkin got it a game ball afterwards in the

548
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 12: locker room. It seemed like that really meant something to

549
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 12: him and as his players, you know, was that a

550
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 12: a good feeling for you all to kind.

551
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: Of see it?

552
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 16: It definitely means something to me, cause I know he cares.

553
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 16: He cares about what we do, He cares about what

554
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,959
Speaker 16: we look like. He cares about you know, our production,

555
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 16: you know, individually and as a team.

556
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 17: You know.

557
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 16: So I have a lot of respect for him and

558
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 16: he deserves that, and we need to just continue to

559
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 16: put out performances like that for him, for the quarterback,

560
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 16: for the old line, you know, for each other.

561
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 5: You know, that's what it's about.

562
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 9: What do you see us getting open on these extended

563
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 9: plays with Lamar?

564
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 10: And what goes through your mind?

565
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 16: You stay alive, you know, it's a it's a scramble driux.

566
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 16: If ever every team does that, we stay alive. I

567
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 16: think our coaches do a good job about telling us

568
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 16: about different voids and playing off of each other, you know,

569
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 16: having a feel for where the next guy is, keeping

570
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 16: your eyes on the quarterback, things like that. So you

571
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 16: have to practice that too all the time, because you know,

572
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 16: when you have an electric quarterback like we do, we

573
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 16: understand that it's important to give him a target.

574
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 6: Lets you respect to that play with Lamar and what

575
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 6: did you see in terms of the void And it's

576
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 6: some of those things you just.

577
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 16: Talk, get in my eyes on him and try to

578
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 16: just keep on moving around. And when I found space,

579
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 16: I took space and he was on the same page he.

580
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 16: I mean, he has great vision. That's something that's you know,

581
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 16: unique to him. Instinctive. You know, he has great vision.

582
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 16: Even though he's moving around and moving guys with his eyes,

583
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 16: he's shifting shifting guys with his body and he's looking

584
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 16: for people.

585
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 9: And that's good.

586
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 12: Why do you think that day is off to such

587
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 12: a historic start, like his stats and everything, how's he

588
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 12: gotten off to such a fast start.

589
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 16: He practices hard, He practices already prepares with great attention

590
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 16: to detail. You know, I'm super impressed with him. I

591
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 16: always have been, and you know, it's important that he

592
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 16: has this type of performance because it's a great, you know,

593
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 16: example of proper preparation and proper work ethic.

594
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 6: Thank Kelly, Thank you.

595
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: That was wid receiver Nelson Aguilar. And last but not least,

596
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: we also talked with linebacker Patrick Queen. He discussed the

597
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: attire that he plans to wear for Sunday's matchup against

598
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and also the mindset for this defense going

599
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: into this game.

600
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 8: I got to ask about the cowboy hat they heard

601
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 8: Rose flushers.

602
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 17: Oh, I got ain't got a burst up, but we

603

Speaker 17: gonna we'll be well dressed Sunday. I actually had to

604
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 17: rob him a little bit just to give him to

605
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 17: wear a cowboy hat, uh to the game Sunday. So

606
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,719
Speaker 17: I'll see what kind of fitty wears and I'll give

607
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 17: him a good rating. Uh my rating't gonna be a

608
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 17: team to let y'all know if he's a ten already,

609
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 17: but they'll have a rad for.

Speaker 13: Him soon, so you will have a cowboy atat too.

611
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 17: I did have about cowboy had actually I ordered a

612
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 17: bunch of 'em cause I didn't know what color I

613
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 17: was gonna have to match with my fit, and it

614
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:24,919

618
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 17: a match one solid.

619
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 5: It's an extra unexpected wrinkle.

620
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 10: Get kind of thrown out you when you see Kyler

621
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 10: Murrie his full participation or assessing that was.

622
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 9: Already kind up on your hasbro.

623
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 17: Uh, I mean we pretty much of the space offense

624
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 17: would be the same. You know, they still got their

625
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 17: ye quarterback runs and Dobbs is running as best as

626
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 17: anybody in the league from the quarterback spot, So I

627
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 17: think it'll be pretty much the same offense. Nah, color

628
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 17: is a different player, more electric and stuff, but think

629
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 17: it for for like, for the most part, should be

630
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 17: the same offense.

631
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 15: Obviously, Hollywood Browns a got you guys know, well, just

632
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 15: wanna challenges that you brings to the posters with you.

633
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 17: Yeah, good catching run guy, Uh got a lot more sauces.

634
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 17: He could definitely go off the line way better. Uh.

635
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 17: Downfield speed has always been there, being able to take

636
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 17: the top of the defense. Always been there. Uh, he's

637
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 17: more aggressive now with the run blocks. He's just throwing

638
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 17: his body in there and stuff now, getting out of

639
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 17: people with blocks and stuff. So he's definitely way more

640
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 17: aggressive than what I recall. He was always been aggressive,

641
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 17: but they like way to another level now, So hands

642
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 17: off to him for that.

643
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 15: Marlin hmprey said yesterday that Mike McDonald was harder. You guys,

644
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 15: you got the film room this week. You know, even

645
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 15: though it was a big win that he was you

646
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 15: know what I thought you lost the game. It's some

647
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 15: of the way that you went through it. How does

648
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 15: that kind of set the tone going into the.

649
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: Type of game?

650
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 17: Yeah, we all we was all paused out of the

651
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 17: game because we wanted to put a goose egg up

652
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 17: there on the board, and we know we were capable

653
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 17: of it. And Mike took the blame with the call

654
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 17: he said could have been a running card, but we

655
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 17: all know that we could have played it better and

656
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 17: you know, probably stopped him and gave us, gave himself

657
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 17: a chance on the one yard line or something down

658
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 17: the two yard line, whatever it may be. So that's

659
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 17: when it comes into being a team being a great

660
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 17: having a great defensive coordinator like him, have great coaches

661
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,080
