 Yeah, coach, we got to check up on Hennessy. He's progressing, so we'll have to see how the week goes. We still got time to make a decision, but make a progress. So we'll see how this week goes. Do you anticipate that we'll be, or not have a week, but activating him at this point? Well, yeah, so, yeah, so John Fitzpatrick, we expect him to bring him back to practice and see where he's at starting day. Today will be a little bit different schedule, obviously, with the short week, just the way you're playing out practice. It's an in season Wednesday, but obviously the time constraints are different having just played Sunday. So we'll adjust, like everybody else says, it's playing Saturday, and then we've got to be prepared to go out. It's going to be cold in Baltimore. Thankfully, there will be a cold here in Atlanta in the next couple of days, so we'll get some work outside and be ready to roll. Dean goes in, you said yesterday you guys will be monitoring it. Yeah, you got to. I mean, it says you have to with anybody. I mean, that puts things back in perspective about health, life. He's doing better. He's here. He's working, so just make sure he's doing all right. And we continue to follow up. Did he suffer a concussion, or? I don't know the official, you know, it's different than when you're dealing with players. So I try not to, obviously, things that are concerned with, and then things that I'm not diving into somebody's personal medical records there, Michael, but knowing what I need to know and doing what's best for Dean. I guess I just asked that because you were there. What's about the question? I understand what you're asking. Were you also there in 18 when he had? That was a completely different thing. Yeah, Coach, what are some of the issues you see with the Ravens defense as you're all getting prepared for them? Yeah, so that's a defense, you know, schematically we're familiar with. Obviously, Dean was there. There's a lot of guys that have been there. Players and coaches, they've had a long history. Let's call it the last 20-something years of a standard on defense. They've had some great players, and it's a really good scheme. Like everybody, when you work together and people have success, a lot of people get hired off it and they tweak their own things, but schematically, structure-wise, it's something we're familiar with. Now, the players are really different, how somebody calls it, the game plan adjustments, or maybe they tweak a coverage here or there. There's a different, but it's, like I said, they've had a long history, especially since Harbaugh's been there. They play a certain way, and this will be a great test for us. Going on the road against a really good football team and a team that values a lot of the same things we do. It'll be a physical game, and we're looking forward to the challenge. How has Marek to play in Kyle Hamilton? Play with Fitzpatrick? Right, yeah, he played at Marist. Played at Notre Dame with Adé. So they're using them very similar to what you saw on tape at Notre Dame. A lot of that big slot corner spot. They pressure them, they play them deep. I mean, it's all the things you saw at Notre Dame. They're using them on teams, and you certainly notice them out there, he's got a lot of length and range. So watching, especially recently, but he's making an impact. I know you talked a bit about Tyler yesterday, but with his running style, is that, in some ways, maybe the preferred running style that they do like to have in your office? You know, I don't sit there, and if somebody's a good football player, there's certain things you value. But in terms of, you know, I know much was made about the size or something that is that. And if it has a good football player, and we can get them here, it's my job to try to use them the best way possible. And there's certain values that it's not just size or prototype there. Like I said, there's a success that we've had in the run game with him and Patterson and Huntley. They're all different players. They both have, all three of them have an aggressive mindset, but they have their strengths, and we try to play into those. So we're happy. We have Tyler. There's a lot of things he does that we value. I think for a rookie, something that we noticed going through that I think is the hardest learning curve form is the protection element. And he does a nice job with that as well. In terms of how he runs that, I guess, stylistically, if you go back and look at what, I see it. I'm not being comparison there, but it just seems like that may be the type of fact. Like the guy who will be able to break tackles and versus board of a. Yeah, we value that. But if the guy's a speed guy and doesn't, and he can move the football and score and can help us, we'll take him. I do value the way he finishes runs. Certainly, you can see as the game goes on, I mean, his presence has felt. I've always thought the great ones. I mean, that's why I don't go comparison. Like this guy reminds me of this, but the production, what I remember early in my coaching career, breaking out a lot of the old Eagles tapes. When the Eagles had Westbrook, they're a completely different runner. So I'm not comparison, but the thing I thought the efficiency of him running the football, where you thought it was going to be a one yard game, and you look up, and it's second and five, those guys are valuable. And they do it a completely different way. And the way Tyler does it, I mean, you guys have seen it firsthand. And he's improved a lot. And like I said, Michael, we're happy he's here. To that end, when it comes to Tyler, I mean, obviously, young new with the college tapes and the guards at the contact that in physicality of which he runs with. But were you at all surprised that you were able to see that translate so soon? And that there really wasn't a lot of hesitancy in him not shying away from that contact? That's kind of his body of work is who he was. Certainly, you don't know how they'll, you know, you're, a lot of it is educating guesses. And there's some things that you can control, and you can't, you know, until you work with a player. But I wouldn't say it surprised me. We had a pretty good idea of who he was, what he was made of. And we're happy that it has translated quicker. And maybe we anticipate. Yesterday about the advantages of the distribution of carries helping to keep running backs fresh later in the season. Do you have, has he shown the indication, though, that if called upon to take a heavier load, that he can also stay strong for a game? Absolutely. You know, you know, like I said, in a perfect world, I mean, it's been kind of a unique year, just the way that we're constructed. And I know what we feel our strengths are right now. It is nice to, you know, where he hasn't taken 300 carries so far, either SCP. I think that helps you, assuming that we can continue to be productive in that area. Not to say, I mean, like you said, we've seen guys that can do it. But I do like the fact that we have multiple players there. With the offensive line, there obviously is like a huge part in this as well. But to kind of see the consistency that this group has had over the course of this season to be able to run block the way that they have, even with these loaded boxes, I mean, what went into that? I don't know if I've asked you that before and you were kind of talking about how it was just like the rep, the rep, the rep, the rep, the rep mutation? No, rep mutation. Yes, that's it. Repping of the same thing over and over again. And it's not as like a big deal as normal. But what does it mean for these guys to consistently do that weekend and week out? Yeah, that's what you want to see. And we've been challenged. We've seen some of the better defensive fronts. We'll have a huge challenge this weekend in Baltimore, Baltimore. Right at the top in almost every category and run defense. So that's, you know, most weeks, I mean, you're playing good players, good on good every week. But we have played some of the better on paper run units, especially on the defensive lines. So those guys continue to work. I love the way they operate. And it does, it takes everybody. And, you know, a lot of times when you look at those numbers, a against a loaded box or whatever, you know, there's a lot of subjectivity that's in there. And they may not know, like, hey, pre-snap what it is. And, you know, even from New Orleans, where they're trying to show down one way in rotation and you got to decipher what's BS and whatnot and how you put it together. You know, a guy may be there and they count them in there and that's really not what he's doing. That's not really his run support. He may bail out. They may be using the corner for it. There may be a pressure coming the other way. So those are a lot of things too. And those are the games within the games. You get there and the way we try to run the football, we try to have answers. That's why the quarterback's such a big part of it. And we have quarterbacks that can certainly help in the run game, whether we do it with a zone read or some other design runs, even with stuff on the actions, when they pull the ball, that is a part of the option. And that helps to eliminate it. You may get, you know, eight guys in there in theory, but when you get on the perimeter, you know, the advantage goes back to you. And that is something we're also excited about with Desmond. You saw a little bit of that on Sunday. So there's a lot of things that go into it. I think our tight ends are doing a heck of a job too. If you want to run the ball the way we do, you're going to need those guys in there. You're going to need the receivers to help. You look at the big run Al Geer had. Between Zaccheus, Hessey, and Drake, they really made that thing go. And obviously, Tyler broke that first tackle, but that was a huge play in the game. But those guys make a commitment to it. So it is all 11. It's not just me, it's an up here. Give me some corny coaching cliche. It's what we believe in. And there's a lot of things that we do. And a weekend, a week out, and our staff, and those players, they've done a hell of a job. How does Baltimore's offense change and open up when they have Lamar Jackson versus QB Huntley? And then kind of how do you prepare for both this week? Yeah, I mean, so we've seen Huntley for a couple games. Lamar, those guys schematically, they're different players. Both of them, they can certainly stem plays. And we've all seen the highlights when Lamar keeps it. So they make you defend everything in the run game. They're a heavy gap scheme team. That's kind of how they've evolved. This kind of fits their personnel, where they use their tight ends, their full back card and that line. They're big, heavy guys. They're trying to get you in the double teams. You see a lot of pullers. They use a pre-snap motion, but it's different style. And it's been very successful. So it makes this league fun. It's not everybody's not doing the same thing. But they're also going to make you account for the quarterback in it. So you've got to be really sound in your run fits, because when you're wrong, they fit those explosive runs. And certainly Lamar has done it better than anybody at that spot in the last couple of years. And so you prepare for them just like every week. We'll prepare the best we can for Lamar. And Huntley's a good player, too, if he plays, he plays. But that's how we go about it. Speaking of your run defense, what did you see from Torrey Anderson in his start Sunday? And what has he shown you that gave him the bigger role in that? Yeah, he just tried to play the strengths. He's made a lot of progress as the season's going on. He's getting more comfortable. He's a smart, instinctive player. He's a heavy-handed guy. So between him and Rashawn, Rashawn's done a nice job, too, in the run game. And we got hurt on a couple of things. They hit us on the perimeter, but it won't sound. But those guys are grinding up front. I do a little horn. They continue to get better every week. Fundamentally, we know it'll be the same thing this week the way that Baltimore plays. When it comes to Desmond Hitter, how do you not overwhelm Rookie with all the things he needs to fix going into the next game? Is there a couple of things you really focus on, or is it the end of the album you do care about everything he needs to fix? Like, there's a different challenge this week than it was in New Orleans. Both good defenses, but different challenges. And certainly, everybody's going to look at the, and that's the thing. And that's the challenge, can we get our passing game? You talk about balanced. You know, Mike, you've asked me about a few times. It is true. We need to get the scoring up. We need to get more balanced, same thing again. We've got to get over this, where we've been the last couple of weeks, and get over the hump, and get back in the winning column. So we don't need to ask him all of a sudden to reinvent himself overnight about making progress, understanding that the hop schools that we'll face Saturday in Baltimore, certainly, things that mistakes he made to improve on, so you're not seeing the same mistakes. And so there'll be different challenges, but we'll continue to push this and work to get progress there and get more productivity out of that part of our offense. I had a game with him before we practiced, and you kind of see the hop and hop, and I'm like, ooh, I'm guessing to you, in a sense. What did you learn about it, and maybe that you could have known more? Sure. So you go through it. Right. And then that's the thing about perspective, like I told him all the time. I told him Saturday, we talked about it. And I told him, you know, last week he was the most popular guy in Atlanta. Now he's played, you know, that's always the case, right? And old coach told me that one time, there's nobody more popular than your backup quarterback until he has to play. And so, hell, true. Those old guys, be led, they knew something or two about this game. A lot of the old wisdom pots them ahead sometimes. I'll share in some of that, probably can't share, but you know how that goes. But it's perspective. He's not the first young quarterback. He could pull up all these guys that have gone on to Hall of Fame careers. And they didn't light the world on fire early on. And as they got in there, we could all help them. It is a team game, and that is a big, big job. I thought he handled Mike, a lot of the stuff we asked him to do in the huddle. There was, and you talked about going through it with him the first time, you know, we talked about jumping in the deep end, not throwing in the deep end, right, D-led? So, and I thought he handled that well, because when you're going through the in-between series, can he self-correct is a moment too big for him. Numbers are where they are, right? And the result is, I mean, that's what happened. But I think it said a lot about Desmond, his mindset, his poise, in the most stressful environment, you could put somebody in other than being in a playoff game with a ball in your hand to go win it on the road. You get in fourth and five, and he delivered. And I didn't see any panic from him, even when he made mistakes. He didn't sit there and whine and looked to blame somebody. He understood it hell half the time. He at least had a reason why and said, I can't do that. Yeah, you're right. So those are the things, Michael, that gave me a lot of hope with him, and that he wouldn't have known until he'd gone through a real game. Question followed that up. Does that mean you keep the package for him the same or do you add it a little bit since he's got a little bit of game experience? Well, there's nothing. We tried to hold back from him. And there's certain things that you realize the other team has to say. And when we're trying to attack, that would change week in and week out. There's certain things that we've got our staples that we try to accomplish, and they're trying to take them away. And we're trying to, you know, they have their strengths and we're trying to attack their weaknesses or, you know, go out for certain matchups. So those will change every week. Like I said, you've got to be, we got to play in the Desmond strengths too. So those are things you tweak and it's a completely different scheme that we're playing. It's another good defense on the road without going into too many specifics about how we're going to scheme that up. But that is a challenge too. Like what can we improve on? What can he handle? What's he really good at? There's a lot of things guys that look good out of here in practice. But when there's consequences, if you hold the ball too long, seem to change things for some guys. So those were, you know, you're kind of working through, but I'm encouraged. And I think we'll see some progress Saturday. Do you consider this a must win game when it comes to winning the division and the playoffs? You know, the reality is, I mean, they're all a must win, but our focus is this challenge. I mean, you know, we were the same spot last week where you can get in all the bizarre scenarios around us, but most importantly, we got to find a way to win. And that's all we're concerned about is Baltimore and the challenge, not letting the other things distract us. You know, these are always the great tests at the end of the year, especially this week. Playing on a short week, everybody's in the middle of the holiday season, all the other things that can creep in. It's our job as professionals to be really, you know, focused at the task at hand and see if we can improve and go get a win again. The coaches, Troy, are you all ready to start being the rest of the way? I think I saw him move to the line on the depth chart. That's a massive depth chart. We play in so many packages, you know, D-Led, if I... It is, I mean, and I'm not making a light of it, it's just where we're at offensively and defensively. And you have to put that, I mean, I respect it, but there's been games that's not, just because the depth chart is this way, I may start the game in something if I think it's a best play. So does that mean so-and-so may start over? I don't know. I don't get too involved in it. I know there's some players that have these streaks, certainly maybe at O-Line, you know, they're gonna be out there, there's certain players maybe that's, it's been a bigger deal in the past, but we're so multiple that I feel like we've got a lot of guys that are starters. The same way that I feel about that, it ends how I'm back in the room between Rashawn, Troy, and Mike. That's our intent, Michael. And again, you can go back to these loaded questions and I can give you hypotheticals, just like with anybody's health, we'll monitor that all week. So I'm not gonna sit here and make you some grand statement today. Let's monitor how the week goes. We had plans, just like we had contingency plans that we had carried over when we got here. That's the one thing I talked about, I don't remember when, but that COVID really forced you to do, you had to have backup plans. That was our backup plan with Frank. Now, Frank's credit, I mean, most times you would at least had a day to prepare or maybe a week. Frank had 20 minutes. The staff did a good job, rallied and we settled down and that's just the way it goes. And so we'll monitor the whole week, but I can't give you that answer right now. So I'm gonna make sure we're doing the best centers of Dean's health and then what's the best centers of his team. I mean, that's where we're at. So from what you've seen on film, what kind of difference do you think Roquon Smith has been to the rate of his defense since he showed up? Well, it done me out of really good player and you could feel him when you're just watching the film. He is, I know he's a Georgia guy, been very productive, he was productive in Chicago. You see it as soon as he got into Baltimore, he's an instinctive player. You see him all over the tape, you see 18 and he's at the point of attack and he's making plays and so they've added a good football player and he's made an impact. Thank you.
