John Harbaugh on the Season Opener | Baltimore Ravens

here good day hot day out here today guys did a good job with practice and we're looking forward to getting ready for the game what question you have John you're pretty familiar with SPS over there over there um with this pressure pacce what's kind of the thing that you guys have to account for what is it something that he does that's different than some other teams no I mean it's every everybody's different than every other team so it's kind of a tough question to answer he's he's unique in what he does a lot of things that he does we do we do that he does other teams do and other things that are unique it's kind of the way it's all put together probably for any any coach uh when when certain blitzes show up or when coverages show up uh he'll keep it moving on you he'll keep you guessing for sure I think that's one of the great strengths of what Steve does as a defensive play caller so uh yeah they do a great job John are you finding that you have to balance the emotions uh of week one of last seasons's end of this being the Chiefs is that anything that's kind of coming into play and how how do you as a coach sure I mean I think those things are always in play it's it's an emotional game it's an emotional sport uh it's an emotional life don't isn't it I mean the things that you have in your life that you care about are important to you and you want to do well and you want to be successful uh those are all things that matter to all of us you know so no different for our guys so uh you know we talk about the things that that we need to do in terms of being successful that's what we talk about with the guys all the time and the things that you're talking about are certainly part of that Sean um we never CH to talk since you guys were brought in Tyler Huntley again you about having yeah it's good to have Tyler back uh you he'll be he's working off the practice squad be uh he'll be in as our third quarterback at this time right here so uh you know kind of knows the offense it's been it's a lot different maybe in some ways than it was when he was here but a lot the same too so he'll have to relearn a lot of things and see where we're at since he's been gone but he's doing a good job of that very diligent and we're happy to have him back hey coach regarding thaan Wallace the impact he has had and training camp uh special uh teams how do you see his development to be an asset on the off yeah I mean to me Ty's been a very steady uh grower as a football player you know and he's developed into a very good player for us he won us a game last year he's made he's made catches on offense he's blocked people I expect him to take another step maybe the biggest step uh of his career so far this year hey coach you've been through it before but is it kind of a unique and strange situation when you enter a game not seeing these guys in a live situation whereas you know week three you've seen what these guys look like where some of these guys haven't played since the AFC Championship in a live setting oh well yeah for sure it's it's it's the first game you know it's the opener the real opener uh it wouldn't be any different even if they had played in the game a little bit because it's still different but it probably uh enhances that whole kind of a situation more than it would so there's a lot of unknowns that you go in and I think you learn a lot you certainly have a better understanding of where your team is at on Friday than you do on Wednesday so we'll be looking forward to that part of it too do you think with um you know some of the inexperience you have along the offensive line that you're asking for something different from Ronnie Stanley in terms of being now one of the oldest guys the been one of the oldest guys for a while I feel like so uh no Ronnie's doing a great job he's working hard uh he's looked good in practice and uh see him out there doing extra right now uh I'm looking forward to seeing how he plays Thursday night joh there's only one team that you get to prepare for for months so you know ahead that's your next opponent what have you learned over the years about getting ready for that opener and how's that kind of evolved yeah I mean I don't know there's a lot of things you learn about a lot of things and certainly take it all into account how you run training camp how you run the practices up until that game uh how you organize the Reps all those different kind of things but one of the big lessons to me is that you you have to remember it's it's the first game but it's not the only game so you know we're going to have another game after that and we're going to have we're we're going to have 17 regular season games and as many postseason games as we earn so that we we got to keep that in mind and kind of keep it in perspective that way have you felt that you've had maybe less interactions with Andy over the summer because this is the first game oh we never talk over the summer anyway he's too busy he's out there in Huntington Beach at his beautiful beach home out there so I never hear from him in the summer he do that coaching Academy interview thing he did that a few years ago actually yeah so we'll be we'll be looking for another one here soon we have to let him know expecting a new interview but uh did you watch it I watched like the first five minutes of it wow was that was that the interviewer or the interview e it turned you turned off okay wow I okay boom anything else John uh I think there was a a practice pretty early this summer where you guys a lot of heavy blitzes at Lamar he was really really good against it training camp obviously they lited you with you know six man pressure seven man pressures pretty often in that a champ game what does it take for you guys to be successful against that kind of pressure yeah it's going to take it's going to take iding those uh those the pressures when they're coming iding how we to pick them up or or to block them or to throw off them with the hots and different things and then executing that's what it takes you know and when they when a team comes after you with blitzes and you've got to you've got to meet them you've got to meet them where they stand stand your ground and uh and uh and attack them that's that's what you have to do so we've been working hard at that we always have and I'm looking forward to seeing how we do looking over film from preseason can you take away a whole lot from watching the Chiefs preseason tape or really any team tape for week one and preparing against them or is it just a lot of vanilla style plays that they're working on with you know not even their starters sometimes yeah it's a you watch it you get a few notes and just kind of see where they're at style-wise I guess but you don't get a lot from it now all right okay great thanks
