Head coach John Harbaugh Monday press conference

Opening remarks: "Well, [very] nice to meet you. I appreciate you being here. Obviously, [this is a] difficult defeat, but this is the nature of what is now in the National Football League. We will go to work. . I think you win, or you learn. You lose, or you learn. So, we must find a way to learn everything. I think this is just a run... It’s a journey of a season .You have to find a way to deal with adversity, deal with things well, make the adjustments you need to make, keep improving on the technology-all of these are in it. Take a long-term view, but focus on next week. This is what we are going to do Yes. Okay, what's the problem with you?

Have you learned something more definite from CB Marlon Humphrey? (Jamison Hensley) "Malone [Humphrey] will be absent this year, yes. He is absent this season; his pectoral muscles are torn."

[Loss of CB Marlon Humphrey chest muscle injury] How much damage is there? (Shawn Stepner) "I don't have that appearance." (Reporter: "I mean without him for the rest of the season.") "Of course we would prefer to have him, but we will continue to have the players we have. We have very good players, they can come in and play. We are ready."

Have you decided who will get the first chance to intervene in him? Or is it more like a committee? (Childs Walker) "We will work through personnel. The personnel team, where do you put, what report, what personnel team. We have people, [and] we will solve this problem within a week. Some of them are played by you [And] What the game is, we will figure out all of this...everyone is tweeting; that must be big news."

I'm curious, there are two minutes left, the offside penalty for all of you, is this a planned game to help manage time? (Noah Triest) "I don't need a strategy to get into all of this. But sometimes, it's, [and] sometimes, it's not."

I know that as a coach, it is your nature not to worry about this kind of thing, but last year, you had a COVID outbreak. This year, you were seriously injured. How do you avoid not accepting any mentality of "the curse is me"? (Jonas Schaefer) "I don’t know, this is a good question. But you don’t know. Maybe it’s just experience; I’ve had enough. I mean everyone in their lives...you sit Here, you are a football coach; these are football problems. People there are facing more and more difficult challenges. I would say many times that football is a metaphor for life. It’s kind of not...this is ours Life, but it’s not life-it’s a metaphor for life. Sometimes, I think we can learn something from it, like the run-down of these games... As Al Pacino said, [and] I’m kind of talking about it,'here One inch. One inch there. One second is too early. It's too late," which is absolutely correct. This is like a classic truth about football and a metaphor for life. So, you know, if you can accept some of these things, look at what they are and say, "Oh, this is fun", in terms of whether I look at it in a bigger way, like balls... .Just like the Detroit miracle [Justin Tucker scored a 66-yard field goal in winning the game], what's the point? It's incredible. "Oh, well, we had no miracles in the game against Pittsburgh. What does this mean?' What does it mean? It means it didn't happen. What's next?... There is an old story [Q], "Who will go? "Send me, I'll go." "Don’t we all have to make this choice in our lives? Are you going to go? Or are you not going? Your question is a little bit "unfortunately me", [but] I'm leaving. I know what's in your life. Everyone feels the same; you are going. So, we are going, man. We are going. We can’t wait. We will go to Cleveland, I promise you."

As for the cornerback situation, do you hope CB Chris Westry and CB Kevon Seymour can provide some depth? Do you think they can come back this week? (Jamison Hensley) "Yes, we have full confidence in these two guys."

How much... I know you want everyone to participate in the offense, but WR Rashod Bateman didn't catch the ball and once became a target. Looking to the future, how much would you like to see him more involved in the offense? (Jeff Zrebiec) "I want to see everyone get more involved. I mean, I think part of the reason is that we like when many people become the target. It's not always like this; you can't create that. I Think that when you start pursuing that, the problem will happen. I see every coach and every quarterback in the league being asked this question, "How do you get this person or that person to participate more? ? "Once you start chasing the catch for people, what are you chasing? What are you doing? This is not how the game works. But we do want everyone to participate, and we want it because we are operating effectively. With us The ball will be scattered according to the coverage rules-this is what you want."

I know it’s never the same thing, but in terms of offense, since QB Lamar Jackson took over, you have never really encountered the problem of scoring instability and scoring less than 20 points. Is there a common thing that might not allow this kind of offense to click like in the past? (Jamison Hensley) "Really not. This is not a universal thing. If there is, it will be much easier to repair, unless it is something that cannot be repaired. So, the answer is no."

RB Devonta Freeman gave you a spark. Is he the kind of person you can rely on now? (Todd Karpovich) "He did a good job. He was running and he made people miss. He seemed to get stronger every week. He was strong in the fourth quarter and it was nice to see. So, he well-done."

You controlled the ball time in the first half. What did you see after watching the movie and why can't you get more points? (Cordell Woodland) "This is the same question that Jamison [Hensley – ESPN.com] just asked. It’s not the same thing. So, we can look at a list of all the different things, but it’s all here and there to play . Sometimes they act; sometimes we don’t get the job done. Sometimes we don’t stop it properly, or just do things the way you want, when you go back and watch it again. The first time is difficult. We will continue to work hard to change Better."

Regarding the two-point transition... When you returned to the tape, it looked like they were offside, did you hear from the referee during or after the game? (Ryan Mink) "No, I didn't hear anything after that. I didn't hear any news from the league. You would want to... When a person is so far in line-I saw the picture-in the neutral zone So far, but of course you hope it will be called."

I think QB Lamar Jackson threw seven or eight interceptions at TE Mark Andrews. I know that every drama has its own story, but is there that kind of popular theme for the end result? (Jonas Shaffer) "The end result may be a popular theme. This is a problem we have to solve — no doubt. We are not satisfied with it at all. Lamar [Jackson] does not Not satisfied. Mark [Andrews] is not satisfied with this. Different things will happen in different situations and we must clean them up."

When QB Lamar Jackson encountered such a problem, considering his past successes, how difficult was it to try to get him back on track? (Cordell Woodland) "You have to get back on track. This will not be the decisive factor for him; it will be part of his story. I think it will be part...at least for anyone, this is them The story-the challenge you face. This is never an easy task. Sometimes it seems easy, it seems easy, sometimes you will succeed, but the competition is too fierce. Everyone is too good to be Smooth sailing. Time. He didn't expect-none of us. So, we just need to work hard to overcome it, overcome it and get the job done."

You say you learn if you win, and learn if you lose. What have you learned from this game? (Kyle Barber) "How much time do we have to list it? I can go up and get my yellow mats and read them all. So, a lot."

After deciding to switch between two points, have you always known that if you are late, you will choose two points? Have you considered this during the entire driving process? (Childswalker) "Yes."

When someone asked you what the Steelers might have done offensively after the game, you mentioned that they caught you in Cover Zero. (John Harper: "I didn't say that.") No, you didn't say...this is something you have to pay more attention to, especially your back-end staff-how many times have you been to that, or How positive are you about that? (Jeff Zrebitz) "You will definitely be aware of this all the time, but you will call the defender and you think this situation will be the best defense to get the job done at that moment. So, you always You can go back and guess again, but we are an active defense and we will not be an active defense. So, we will not apologize for anything. This is what happened. We went a few times and they beat us Several times. So, we will try to clean it up and do better-when we do-this is what we will do."
