 After Derek ran for 195 yards against the Ravens back in January, they tried to bulk up their defense. Right now, Brandon Williams is hurt, Clay is Campbell's on IR. Does the way they're playing defense though, does that really matter when they're missing those kind of pieces to have to try to run on them? It's excellent defense. Turnover machines, it's impressive to watch those guys play. Really good on the edges. They've got guys that they rotate. They run different personnel packages. Linebackers are young and fast and active. DVs are very involved in run support. Humphries is forced four fumbles. Peters three, this is a very opportunistic defense that looks for the football and does a great job of separating it from running backs and receivers. So whoever is in their tree sets is going to be a huge challenge for us to be able to move the football and we'll have to have excellent week of preparation. Jim? Mike, I know you're kind of a last year's, last year type of guy, but do you appoint to this time last year as a time, hey, this is when we hit our stride, we can do it again and look at positivity there? Sure. I mean, I think we, how you play one week or how you play one year doesn't guarantee how you're going to play the next, we all understand that. But there's a bunch of people packed up in there together. You can see that in the standings. It's that type of time of year in the National Football League that teams are going to go in different directions and we're going to have to find a way to play better and start by doing that this week against the Ravens and seeing if we can't string some good weeks together. Tron? Yeah, good morning, Coach. When you guys go against the Ravens with the Maher, it truly makes 11 on 11 football. What kind of stress, not stress, but how does that impact what you have to do on defense? Well, I think that you prepare for option football with alignments and assignments and obviously, you know, run to the football in the way that you, you know, tackle. But it's not all option football. You know, the runners, they play all three guys. You know, the Maher is a huge part of what they do. So they're just, they're very good at running football and they use, you know, the quarterback as a large piece of that having 90 carries. Now, some of those are scrambles in play extension, but, you know, it just comes down to alignment and assignment and obviously, you know, the execution. And then last year, when you guys faced them, it seemed like there was a focus on kind of condensing the field and reducing the space that he had to operate. Is that something that you've seen teams continue to do this year to slow that offense down? I mean, I think that the more space that you give to the good players and athletes in this league, the tougher it is to tackle them. You know, you're going to have to be really good tacklers or, you know, try to find a way to use the, you know, the sideline to your advantage, knowing that it hasn't missed a tackle. So it's easier said than done. You know, I mean, there's times where, you know, they get north and south and gain a bunch of yards. Thank you. John. Mike, I wondered if you could talk about the decision on the punter yesterday to wave Ryan and keep Trevor, at least on the practice squad there. In making that decision, how much do you, you know, consider practice in that? And how much do you consider game performance in that? Yeah, we've touched on a lot of the punter conversation, John. I know that that was something that we talked about. Practice is critical, you know, game performance, obviously something charting hang time and those types of things. And, you know, we'll see if we can, you know, where Ryan's at and his availability to, you know, to potentially return to the practice squad. You know, we believe by watching practice and what those guys have done. We made the decision on the roster and, you know, I know that one punts, you know, we're not going to define Trevor. We believe in him, you know, believe in his leg and the way that he swung it. And we're going to have to protect better. So we'll move on to this week and have a great week of practice. Good. And sticking with the kicking theme, just wondering what your thoughts have been so far on Tavecchio. I know he's a guy who hadn't kicked in the league for a couple of years. What have you seen from him so far in practice? Just continue to try to improve and be ready if we were to make a decision. You know, everybody that's on our roster where they practice squad or active roster should prepare like they're going to play in the football game all the way up until, you know, an hour and a half before, you know, or in practice squad's case, 24 hours before. So that's what he's done and will continue to do. Thank you. Eric. Hey, Mike, with a few full weeks of practice now for Isaiah Wilson, where is he in his progression and I guess how close is he to being active on a game day? Continue to work, continue to develop. Some of those practices, you know, those days are kind of misleading, Eric, because of the turnaround time that we had or, you know, jog through practice. So, you know, today will be a critical day for a lot of people. And Isaiah included it, you know, how we, you know, handle the run game and stop the run. So, you know, we'll see where he is and as we work our way through the week and try and make decisions on his availability for the game. Paul. Mike, how have you guys done with disguise and late movement defensively this year, do you think? And in recent weeks? I think we've done enough of anything defensively. When you lose, you know, you're not doing anything good enough. You're not stopping the run well enough. You're not rushing good enough and you're not covering good enough. So, I would imagine that like a lot of other things, it could be better, everything could be better. Is that still something that you aim to be a core thing for you guys in terms of confusing a quarterback and an offense near the snap? Sure, I mean, that would be something that would, you know, be able to help everybody. You know, there were times where, you know, in the game it was, you know, it was pretty good. And, you know, there were times in the game where it wasn't good enough or we made mistakes in doing that. So, there's a balance there by making sure that you're in a position to do your job, that you're aligned correctly. But, you know, not letting disguise override your assignment. Terry? Mike, obviously it's important to try and get a lead, but with the way the Ravens are built offensively, is it even more important to play from ahead if you can in this game? Because it seemed to work out well last year for you when you got up 14-nothing. Sure, you know, I mean, they start fast. This is, you know, a subpoena. You know, plays with a lot of speed. They're turning the ball over. They're capitalizing. You know, they're leading their football games 143 to 83 in the first half. So, they're building, you know, a substantial lead by the average. And that allows them to play to their strengths when football and pressure the quarterback, pressure them into mistakes, interceptions, sacks, long yard situation. Jim? Mike, you guys activate Sonor's period today. Pretty crowded that position with Jeremy and Deontay. Of course, Derek and then Darrington on designated for return. What are you going to be looking for here over the course of the next week and maybe the next couple of weeks as that position kind of settles down? Looking for the guys that can help us win. You know, guys that can reverse the goal and know their job, that can play on fourth down and protect when they're asked to protect a lot of those types of things, Jim. And as far as crowd, I mean, going back to no fans on Sunday, you've dealt with that during the course of the season. Will it be any more challenging now if you've had fans in the stands or you just approach it like you always have? Just imagine that we approach it like we always have and hope that we play well and we can understand the keys and how to execute them.
