John Harbaugh on Falling in Season Opener | Baltimore Ravens

being out here uh good hardfought football game uh very exciting football game a lot of lot of a lot of back and forth uh I'm proud of the way our guys played you know I think the way we fought the way we competed uh the the challenges that we face just by the situation of the game and all the things going on around the game and obviously the challenge that uh our opponent presents us which is a great opponent and uh then the the adversity throughout the course of the game is a challenge I thought our guys uh you know met met all those things all those setbacks at times and uh and uh and fought like crazy to overcome it you know and looked like we had an opportunity there to to to tie the game up or try to win it with a two-point conversion so uh didn't happen at the end but uh proud of the way the guys fought we're only going to get better from here on out and I'm looking forward to that I'm really looking forward to getting back to work next week and getting ready for the Raiders just starting with obviously Isaiah just was huge for you guys all night and even battled back to get on the field that last possession what did you see out of him and what do you tell him after coming so close oh I think Isaiah played just a great football game a courageous game I made so many plays especially down the stretch play after play I put Lamar obviously in the same category all those guys I mean those guys were making plays and fighting the offensive line I thought did a heck of a job out there a lot of question marks said you know the pundits and the prognosticators had about the offensive line saying that without offensive line we couldn't do anything and uh to see the way they went out there and played against that defense I thought was pretty impressive and that's a challenge especially in this environment communication and there's going there were there were problems on both sides uh but uh I thought Isaiah played a great football game I was proud of him and a lot of other guys too John what are kind of the emotions though at the end of the game when you feel like okay you've tied the game and then you're told no I talk about motion you're disappointed you thought I mean I don't know what it looked like on the replay so I can't say but uh really couldn't tell on the big screen you guys probably had a better Viewpoint of it so joh bring about legal formations yeah they put a thing out that they said they were going to call that uh differently I think understanding how differently we were the first offensive series of the season with that and I think they saw probably everybody watching it it' be interesting to see if they call it the same way the whole season and I'll challenge him to call it the same way they called it tonight the whole season so hopefully they'll be consistent about that Lamar has called Kansas City his Kryptonite how do you feel about his late drive and do give you confidence moving forward if you play them again I thought his late Drive was great and I thought he had some other good drives in there some great conversions in there so uh uh we'll be looking forward to the Raiders you know we've got to get ready for the for the Raiders and that'll be a big challenge for us in our in our own home stadium a home opener so that's what we'll be getting ready for John how much was communication defensively early in the Midway through the third quarter difficult where you had to take the two timeouts yeah we just had some issues with uh the substitutions back and forth they were running you know different groups on the field and stuff like that and and we did have some communication problems that's something that we'll have to iron out for sure we can be better with that we will be better with that uh and um that you know wasn't what we wanted so we'll have to improve on that we will John said something that happened on the TD pass where were they slip behind um yeah we just didn't play the defense exactly way obviously we didn't play the defense right there's nobody deep back there so uh that was a was that was we had certain mistakes during the game that were a problem substitutions were an issue that was probably the one big mistake we had uh the rest of the way I thought our defense played really well I mean you know that's a heck of an offense out there and our guys played so hard fought uh fought against the run I thought did a good job against the Run covering their guys you know it's not easy with all the screens and all different things they do then you've got uh uh Mahomes who extends and I thought our D line our rushers did a good job of keeping them in there especially in the second half you know so so many good things happened uh but there's going to be a lot of things to work on for sure there's no doubt and that that will be one of them all right thanks
