" Welcome to coach speak presented by -- got a great show for yeah. We're gonna have a number of great coaches for you today we got John Harbaugh for Baltimore Ravens. Jack Del Rio from Jacksonville Jaguars Mike Singletary San Francisco 49ers and Mike Smith from the Atlanta Falcons. We're talk about a number of things but interestingly to be damage hearing how the coaches -- The -- their message going into the week how they present it late in the week that Saturday night for the game. Just before the game they go out of the field and what their routines are during the course -- day game day itself. I'm joined now by John Harbaugh the Baltimore. Ravens. John what what you're retreat on Sunday -- manager -- you -- 1 -- kick off how does your days start and you work through the day."
" The Sunday the Sunday retain coach as you know that's that's pretty personal right I mean that's kind of over ten individual didn't know how to get -- doing it and it for me it's it's basically again get up we have we have we have chapel we have amassed that. Run concurrently before the the team breakfast so. You know I'll go to Ariza talked Riders or team chaplain and and actually what kind of share some ideas handled prior. An idea what the -- going to be about I go to mass. And we have otherwise it is great job which coaches and players both of those. That we do the team meal and try to eat whatever you really get down. Because you know you don't meet until late in the game sorts of late in the day it's kind of you know but sometimes that's as an afterthought. That what I do as I whittled -- go back to the room and I kind of break out the game plan so. The offensive game plan the defensive game plan the special teams game plan that the three quarters of put together you know you can stay at all through the week -- I sit in on meetings. Me talk recorders watching the practice watch practice tape but for me it's it's it's a chance to kind of go back through and have a sense of what those guys are thinking. In terms of calling the game that ties me and two time those guys together during the game. Making game management decisions and an every down and don't an idea out there -- you feel like you know hammered the around here keep the pressure coming. Whatever those things -- game I've got an understanding what. Their game plan is built around to do that he would keep tennis -- last idea. With that tickled to roster. The roster choices that plan and make him. And what direction we're thinking about going music comes down did this or that. I don't with the stadium. That and on the field for pregame and -- and basically I get nervous that's kind of what you do for the game."
" When you win a cup and that's murder that I Brewers the worse until the kickoff. When you meet with -- officials are you one of those guys that Lee lobbies them for -- you really gotta watch this and this boy these guys whole Lotta I mean do you want to really lobby officials."
" That's a great question coach had mentioned in the official that's a big part -- you know. I didn't ask for the I'd try to both ways you know I try to be friendly and try to be star and I try to get all the all the tips I try to say not just called the best way to see it. It doesn't seem to have any impact in any direction so I'm kind of stomp them out right now we've got some advice on that that pregame."
" My advice was whatever it is you're worried about don't bring it up because if you're worried about them holding you did you ask them about it that you're gonna be called for ten holding her. That always seemed either way it worked out like -- about the numbering in anything potential of this. That's a good point we'll follow that -- system or touching on next time we get together the series. That's right we'll keep -- John I appreciate it good luck this week thanks Brian always fun."
