Speaker 1: You're listening to the Ravens Press Pass podcast and it
Speaker 1: is Wednesday, December sixth, the Ravens preparing for Sunday's games
Speaker 1: coming up against the LA Rams, and today we had
Speaker 1: a chance to hear from head coach John Harpon.
Speaker 2: Okay, good to see everybody. Appreciate you guys being here.
Speaker 2: Had a good practice, guys were in high spirits. We're
Speaker 2: excited about big challenge with the Rams coming in on
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon, and we know what an important game it
Speaker 2: is and our guys are preparing accordingly.
Speaker 3: So what questions you have, John.
Speaker 4: You know, you pret Aaron Donald a few times and
Speaker 4: have become pretty pretty welcome daining him. What's kind of
Speaker 4: the key when you're going against it, you know, dominating
Speaker 4: cure guy like that.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean he's number ninety nine, right, you gotta
Speaker 2: know where he's at at all times and try to
Speaker 2: get as many people blocking him as you can, you know,
Speaker 2: for as long as you can, which is which is
Speaker 2: a tall order. He's one of the probably the greatest
Speaker 2: ever play in their position, and so he's definitely that.
Speaker 2: But not just him, They've got quite quite a few
Speaker 2: really good players on defense. They play really hard. They're
Speaker 2: flying around very disruptive front. So we've got to work
Speaker 2: cut out for us a.
Speaker 5: Little different than some points to come back from the
Speaker 5: momentum and then deal with they laid by week.
Speaker 3: No, I think it's been good for us.
Speaker 2: I mean, our guys are in good spirits that the
Speaker 2: time off will be good for us, I think physically
Speaker 2: and you know mentally as well.
Speaker 1: So.
Speaker 2: Uh, but you know, it's just part of the National
Speaker 2: Football League and we've got a big challenge in front
Speaker 2: of us Sunday, and that's what everybody's focused on.
Speaker 6: John, this is an offense that that likes to thrive
Speaker 6: on some big plays. You guys have done really good
Speaker 6: and limiting big plays, especially in the past game. What
Speaker 6: do you think about the challenge of trying to keep
Speaker 6: that keep a laid on them.
Speaker 3: Right, That's a big challenge. I mean, it's it's number
Speaker 3: one priority.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 2: You have to keep these guys from from the chunk
Speaker 2: pass plays. It's uh, whether it's play action drop back pass.
Speaker 2: I mean they're drop back pass rate right now is
Speaker 2: one among the highest in the league, if not the highest,
Speaker 2: in terms of pretty much every situation got a quarterback
Speaker 2: that knows how to do it, knows how to handle protection,
Speaker 2: but also the boots, you know, the change, the mystery
Speaker 2: action passes with the run game, so kind of all
Speaker 2: ties together in their system. Matt Stafford knows how to
Speaker 2: do it, you know, as well as anybody as far
Speaker 2: as running that system. A great play caller, so, uh,
Speaker 2: all those things come into play.
Speaker 7: Tape.
Speaker 8: Did you fund yourself wondering why would do a fell
Speaker 8: and followers and team and the draft up if you
Speaker 8: remember doing anything more time?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean I liked him.
Speaker 2: He was one of my highest rated guys. And you
Speaker 2: can ask anybody here ask ask the wide receiver coach.
Speaker 2: Coach Lewis asked the scouts. He was way up on
Speaker 2: my board, so, uh you know, yes I was, Yes,
Speaker 2: I was, he was, And just he's playing exactly how
Speaker 2: I thought he would. So for the record, but he
Speaker 2: but the challenge, I mean, to your point, and it's
Speaker 2: not I mean again, they've got a great, really good
Speaker 2: receiving core.
Speaker 3: I mean they've got guys you know, all across the board, and.
Speaker 2: Cooper cups not to not too bad either, you know,
Speaker 2: and uh, Higbe's a really good tight end and DeMarcus
Speaker 2: is playing really well as well, so at well, he's
Speaker 2: he's he's a speed guy. You got to keep an
Speaker 2: eye on him downfield at all time.
Speaker 3: So it's a good group.
Speaker 9: John mentioned a couple of weeks ago thought Marcus Williams
Speaker 9: would really gain steam and be closer to the player
Speaker 9: that you know he has been for you guys, I
Speaker 9: guess this season went along. In that last game against
Speaker 9: the Rams, he had a couple of breakups.
Speaker 7: Is he close?
Speaker 9: How close is he to kind of the healthy player?
Speaker 9: Had his best at And do you think this bye
Speaker 9: week is really something that a guy like Dennis really
Speaker 9: good a benefit.
Speaker 2: From, right, Yes to the last part, I would say,
Speaker 2: and then yes to the first part too.
Speaker 3: He's he's, he's.
Speaker 2: You could see it really starting to kind of come
Speaker 2: together in the last game. And uh, you know, I
Speaker 2: mentioned to him Monday at practice. You know, I just
Speaker 2: feel like I feel like he's kind of ready to
Speaker 2: step out and and uh, you know, go make some
Speaker 2: big plays for us. But he's he's getting he's getting
Speaker 2: around the ball now. You know, he kind of showed
Speaker 2: up downfield in front of the ball a couple of times.
Speaker 2: He made a couple of hard hitting tackles and he
Speaker 2: looks good.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's a guy you don't want.
Speaker 2: To forget about. He's a great football player. Marcus is
Speaker 2: a great football player, and having him back there is
Speaker 2: a big plus for us.
Speaker 10: Weather gets cold in the running game amps, how graz
Speaker 10: is to have three guys and Lamar Jackson, he would
Speaker 10: have run the ball through a kind of like that
Speaker 10: part of your game when that part of the season.
Speaker 3: Oh, big part of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, December football, you know, December football, January football.
Speaker 2: The run game is important. Stopping runs massive, stopping doing
Speaker 2: against this team is critically important. Running the ball against
Speaker 2: this defense is very important. I mean, it's it's only
Speaker 2: gonna it's gonna be that way. We're gonna be saying
Speaker 2: that every week all the way through December here, So
Speaker 2: big part of it.
Speaker 11: John O'Dell's went against stam team in the Rams.
Speaker 3: He wants to bowl with them.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, now we're twelve games and uh you know,
Speaker 4: how would you think with the impact of of of
Speaker 4: odell this year for this time right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ode will be a captain forest, one of our
Speaker 2: captains in this game, and he'll go out there and
Speaker 2: do the coin toss and stuff and uh.
Speaker 3: And he'll be out there playing. I mean he's he's.
Speaker 2: Uh, he's a heck of a football player. I mean,
Speaker 2: he draws a lot of attention, he's making plays. I
Speaker 2: think he's really coming into his own health wise right
Speaker 2: now and getting stronger and faster. I mean, it's a
Speaker 2: it's a big road back from where he had to
Speaker 2: where he had to come from. And and I just
Speaker 2: you see it every single week you guys watch the games.
Speaker 2: He's an explosive element to what he's doing and he
Speaker 2: can really go and uh and I you know, I
Speaker 2: know he's gonna make a bunch of big plays down
Speaker 2: the stretch.
Speaker 12: Here you're addressed the weather question, but specifically this Sunday,
Speaker 12: it looks like high wins possibly in a lot of
Speaker 12: possible rain. Does that factor into preparation in terms of
Speaker 12: how you would adjust.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Mark, I mean, you know, wins are a big
Speaker 2: factor in the passing game and the kicking game, you know,
Speaker 2: so we've got to take that into account. Just just
Speaker 2: catching it, you know, whether it's catching upon a kickoff
Speaker 2: or catching a pass. Ball handling is gonna be a
Speaker 2: big part of it. Where a ball handling offense. So
Speaker 2: we've got to handle the ball in wet weather. That's
Speaker 2: gonna be important to us. We'll be keeping that in mind,
Speaker 2: and it'll be big for them too. I mean they've
Speaker 2: got to do the same thing. They play in the
Speaker 2: same weather we do so well, you know, if we can,
Speaker 2: if we can take advantage of any mistakes they might make.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's uh.
Speaker 2: You've got to you got to win the game in
Speaker 2: every type of circumstance, and the elements are a big
Speaker 2: part of it.
Speaker 13: John, You've got a handful of i mean sort of
Speaker 13: less thorld good players, guys like maybe Harrison and Brent Urbin.
Speaker 13: A few guys come to mind that have made, you know,
Speaker 13: notable contributions and plays, draft reports in the season count
Speaker 13: or is it to have those suit of guys have
Speaker 13: a po many things, but that's not really that they have.
Speaker 13: Best with those guys who you know, can you contribute
Speaker 13: to make this place draft of course of.
Speaker 7: The season and the successfulces.
Speaker 2: Right well, I mean it's massively important for for every
Speaker 2: for for everybody to be a part of what you're doing.
Speaker 2: I mean, football is the consummate team game. It always
Speaker 2: has been, and it's not a one man show. It's
Speaker 2: not a two man show. It's not it's not a
Speaker 2: star system. It's a team system. It always has been.
Speaker 2: I think teams that recognize that, and I think teams
Speaker 2: do recognize that more so than anybody. Probably when you're
Speaker 2: in the middle of it, you know that every single
Speaker 2: guy is important, and every single guy is important. In
Speaker 2: the course of a game or the season, somebody's going
Speaker 2: to make a play. Somebody's got to make the play.
Speaker 2: And if you're on that field, you have an opportunity
Speaker 2: to make a play. In matter of fact, you're going
Speaker 2: to be required to make the plays that that come
Speaker 2: your way, you know, and uh, and you either do
Speaker 2: it or you don't. I think that's what guys, it's.
Speaker 2: It's kind of the ultimate meritocracy. You know, you're out there,
Speaker 2: you have an opportunity, and either do it or you
Speaker 2: don't do it. So our guys have stepped up, So
Speaker 2: many guys have stepped up to your point. Just a
Speaker 2: great point, Brian. That's why you know where where we're
Speaker 2: at right now. So we've got to keep building on that,
Speaker 2: and we've got to do it down the stretch.
Speaker 12: John, we didn't.
Speaker 6: See Rashan Bateman out there is everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he had kind of an illness sickness type deal. So, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully we'll be back tomorrow with that.
Speaker 4: John, I think your guy that's not been around like
Speaker 4: because our parents watching h Dunk season or is he
Speaker 4: still we're still open for you.
Speaker 2: Know, that's a I'll have to get back to you
Speaker 2: on that one. I don't, Uh, I don't know for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think he's I don't I'm not
Speaker 2: really planning on being back in all honesty, but let
Speaker 2: me check again because it's been a while since I've
Speaker 2: looked into that one about uh, you.
Speaker 9: Know, it's starting to have some strobole boating and pretty
Speaker 9: safety and its originally starting in the backup on upsitting.
Speaker 2: Right and Matthay kind of goes back to Bryan's point.
Speaker 2: You know, it's exactly right. Guys have done that. Geno
Speaker 2: no more than anybody right leads the league in interceptions,
Speaker 2: you know, and uh, he always knew he could do it,
Speaker 2: you know, and uh, we always pretty sure he could
Speaker 2: do it. We knew he could do it, and you know,
Speaker 2: guys get a chance and they do it. So proud
Speaker 2: of him, but you know, John guarantee you. One thing
Speaker 2: with Gino's thinking about is he's not looking back. He's
Speaker 2: looking forward. The next next this next next game, in
Speaker 2: the next next game is in December, I would.
Speaker 1: Say, go John Harball. Today we also talked with quarterback
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7: I think it was pretty dope.
Speaker 14: It was pretty del man. It's Snoop Dogg. You know,
Speaker 14: I was hype, kind of starstruck, but I was hype.
Speaker 7: For the most fuck they got your first time meeting.
Speaker 14: Now, yeah, person, it was it was cool.
Speaker 9: Are there a lot of moments for you where you
Speaker 9: kind of have a chance to kind of step back?
Speaker 11: You said you're a start track. I mean, do you
Speaker 11: ever hoop and get you step back?
Speaker 7: And like, this is kind of.
Speaker 9: Crazy that my life kind allows me to to socialize.
Speaker 7: With these people.
Speaker 15: I grew up really.
Speaker 7: Putting on a pedestal.
Speaker 14: Uh, sometimes I do. I pretty much do it right
Speaker 14: in front of 'em. Might just be hyped like a
Speaker 14: little kid, you know, and yeah, like sometimes you know,
Speaker 14: I I think about it, but like I said, it's
Speaker 14: right in front of 'em. I don't think about it
Speaker 14: when I walk away from like I do it right
Speaker 14: in front like d make Snoop Dog.
Speaker 3: I was like, I was.
Speaker 5: Like other people for YouTube, come back from a bike
Speaker 5: week lay by week and know that only five games
Speaker 5: ahead of you guys, and you are you know, you
Speaker 5: have your own destiny basically.
Speaker 14: Uh f uh, I feel great, but you know we
Speaker 14: I I felt like, uh going to toot about we
Speaker 14: we already do that.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 14: We just gotta focus on what we can control, and
Speaker 14: that's keep winning games, you know, going out there and
Speaker 14: just putting on a uh better performance than we did
Speaker 14: before the bout we I say, on offense, but just
Speaker 14: keep fighting, you know, each and every game because it's
Speaker 14: end the game of Sunday.
Speaker 1: This is a tough stretch obviously that you guys have
Speaker 1: to finish out the regular season. In some ways, does
Speaker 1: it feel like, you know, the playoffs are kind of
Speaker 1: starting early, just as you you know, knowing what's at
Speaker 1: stake over the course of these last five games.
Speaker 14: To be hon, I I feel like every week for
Speaker 14: us been a playoff game throughout this season. Uh because
Speaker 14: people didn't think uh Texans was that good and I
Speaker 14: believe they pretty good coats, pretty good you know, pretty
Speaker 14: solid teams still as you know, they they putting out
Speaker 14: fights in Cincinnati. I mean not Cincinnati, but uh Cleveland.
Speaker 14: Every week it's been a playoff game for us. We
Speaker 14: just gotta keep staying locked in and like I said,
Speaker 14: focus on what we can control.
Speaker 9: It's already a pretty fraught injury picture, especially in HAFC quarterbacks.
Speaker 9: And then you know, Trevor Lawrence and can you pick
Speaker 9: it both go out with injuries this week.
Speaker 11: What's it like kind of watching from apart seeing.
Speaker 7: These teams kind of get hit.
Speaker 11: With these injuries, getting the quarterbacks.
Speaker 14: So, uh, we you know, we don't wanna see injuries
Speaker 14: happening in the league. You know, we want everybody to
Speaker 14: go out there and you know, give they all and
Speaker 14: you know when they when we play against teams, you know,
Speaker 14: just hea their best. But you know it's part of
Speaker 14: the game. You know, I went down last year year before,
Speaker 14: you know, But it happens in football, you know. But
Speaker 14: we just gotta keep focusing on what we can control.
Speaker 15: Wow.
Speaker 6: I know you're always talking about striving to get better,
Speaker 6: but going into the bye weeknd nine to three, did
Speaker 6: you have time to kind of assess where you guys
Speaker 6: are as an offense right now? How would you kind
Speaker 6: of assess where you guys are today.
Speaker 14: Man, I stepped back. I I kind of just took
Speaker 14: a break from focusing on football, you know, with us.
Speaker 14: But when I got back, you know, today and yesterday
Speaker 14: and stuff like that, I believe our team is just
Speaker 14: locked in cause we know what's ahead of us. We
Speaker 14: know what got us here. You know, we one had
Speaker 14: his team once. I believe, you know, we know we
Speaker 14: we chasing little more.
Speaker 15: Uh h winds and brain are prepicted for Sunday?
Speaker 1: Are there?
Speaker 13: Ways are things you do during the week to prepare
Speaker 13: for that when you see that in the forecast?
Speaker 14: Uh, wet ball drill. I can't do anything about the wind,
Speaker 14: but you know we do a lot of wet ball drills.
Speaker 14: Put the ball in the uh garage garbage can fill
Speaker 14: it up with water and put the ball in and
Speaker 14: just go from there. Just throw the ball. But the
Speaker 14: wind we can't domand about the win.
Speaker 11: This kind of kind of a left field question.
Speaker 16: But uh, in the locker room, you got your you
Speaker 16: got your close friends, snoop on on one side of you.
Speaker 11: Uh, you got your left tackle on the other side.
Speaker 16: Does it does it matter your a guy who likes
Speaker 16: to hang out of there? Does it matter to you
Speaker 16: kind of who your neighbors are.
Speaker 11: And in the locker room.
Speaker 14: Nuh we all brothers, yeh, we all brothers. And just
Speaker 14: don't be nasty. Just don't leave clothing around. That's about it,
Speaker 14: and we good.
Speaker 17: Just going back to the weather question and you said,
Speaker 17: like you don't really like playing and rain all that much.
Speaker 13: How do you buck that out?
Speaker 17: How do you just kind of focus on alright, this
Speaker 17: is the game, this is what it is.
Speaker 5: How do you deal with it?
Speaker 14: Man? I just go out there and play football. No,
Speaker 14: I can't do nothing about the rain, the wind. Just
Speaker 14: get prepared, you know. Mind ever matter.
Speaker 9: Mark uh Adell's gonna be captain and John was just
Speaker 9: telling her for this game kind of against the Rams
Speaker 9: obviously won of Super Bowl with the Rams. In the
Speaker 9: locker room, does O'Dell ever make references to that run
Speaker 9: he has with him and just for to paint that
Speaker 9: vision for your team that's now trying to win Super Bowl?
Speaker 14: Just sit again, that's does he have?
Speaker 9: Does Adele ever reference his run with the Rams.
Speaker 14: Where he talks to you as mine?
Speaker 3: He don't what it has.
Speaker 7: His leadership means to you, guys, can not lead this year?
Speaker 14: Uh a lot, you know He pretty much just lead
Speaker 14: by a zamp. But he you know, he he cool
Speaker 14: with the guys. You know, he talking on us and
Speaker 14: stuff like that like we all do, but he don't.
Speaker 14: He don't just try to like charge us up and
Speaker 14: stuff like that, try to get in our face to
Speaker 14: pump us up. You know, he pretty much just lead
Speaker 14: by a zample. Go out there, work card be Odell,
Speaker 14: and that's all we need him to do.
Speaker 17: We talked to team before the buy and he talked
Speaker 17: about the trust you know that you've built with your
Speaker 17: receivers when it's comes to Obja specifically, do you really
Speaker 17: feel like at this point in the season with what
Speaker 17: you've built that you know, when it comes to clutch moments,
Speaker 17: third downs, whatever, reads him like he's a guy that
Speaker 17: you feel you have a lot of trust with. He's
Speaker 17: gonna come up and make that play.
Speaker 14: Absolutely. That's all of our guys, you know, we we
Speaker 14: brothers share. You know, we all wanna win. We all
Speaker 14: know we chase him, like I said earlier, and that's
Speaker 14: all to it. You know, if his numbers called, we
Speaker 14: don't make it happen. Whoever's number callup, we gonna make
Speaker 14: it happen. That's why we just communicate or.
Speaker 1: Where you've referenced a couple of times, just you know
Speaker 1: what you're chasing as a team. Do you feel like
Speaker 1: that there's kind of a singular focus in that regard
Speaker 1: that you know that this is this, this group has
Speaker 1: a potential to be special, and that this is this
Speaker 1: is a really good opportunity for.
Speaker 18: You as a team.
Speaker 14: M not singular focus. I believe you know some older
Speaker 14: guys you know who here, who been in the league
Speaker 14: a long time, it's feeling the same way. I'm pretty
Speaker 14: much one of the younger, younger veteran guys, and I
Speaker 14: just see it, you know, just from being in the league.
Speaker 14: You know, we had a twenty nineteen just fell short,
Speaker 14: you know. But but right now, you know, I'm preaching
Speaker 14: it like I feel like I'm preaching to the quad.
Speaker 14: But it's like, we gotta take advantage of what we have,
Speaker 14: you know, cause we might not see it again and
Speaker 14: f a few years though probably we might we might.
Speaker 14: I ain't gonna say that we might, but you know,
Speaker 14: we never knew so long are you?
Speaker 12: You started by saying you were starstruck by Snoop? What's
Speaker 12: it like for you when people are starstruck by you.
Speaker 12: What does that tell you about what your life is becoming?
Speaker 12: How do you handle that?
Speaker 14: That's a good christ Uh, I don't know. I pretty
Speaker 14: much I'm down to earth, so I pretty much be
Speaker 14: cool with it, you know, tight hugs, long hugs, crying
Speaker 14: and hugs. I'm cool whatever, you know. I love the fans, man,
Speaker 14: I love a fans.
Speaker 13: John was just talking about. You know, it takes all
Speaker 13: the guys in the locker room. H are a lot
Speaker 13: of players for you guys to be successful. Curiously, what's
Speaker 13: a guy like, a less terrible guy like have a
Speaker 13: card for example, you know, meant to you in terms
Speaker 13: of half blocking or even you know, if you about
Speaker 13: that Detroit per hear that capture trying to a long run?
Speaker 13: W what is those sort of role players? I think
Speaker 13: that's sort of helpful they for for you.
Speaker 14: I don't look at guys like Pattison role player, you
Speaker 14: know cause just like you said, he bucking his tail off,
Speaker 14: you know we need him catch the pass. He doing that.
Speaker 14: He's a part of our eleven mile uh fifty three
Speaker 14: man roster, but a eleven guy person there on that field,
Speaker 14: so we help us throughout the game, no matter what
Speaker 14: the situation is him and whoever else you know who
Speaker 14: may be caught a role player who I feel is
Speaker 14: a ultimate, you know, just team guy.
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. Veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham
Speaker 1: Junior also talk with the media about his season so
Speaker 1: far here in Baltimore, his expectations the rest of the way.
Speaker 4: So, go at the team that you won the Super
Speaker 4: Bowl with, how was a gonna feel like?
Speaker 7: Doesn't feel like anything.
Speaker 19: Nah, it's you know, it's a special bond that U
Speaker 19: half with those guys over there, Coop Stafford. You know,
Speaker 19: I still could hit a little group chat and you know,
Speaker 19: talk some trash to him this week and just it's
Speaker 19: just all love and respect. You know mcveigh's been He
Speaker 19: kind of was the person who or the whole situation
Speaker 19: organization kind of brought me back to loving and having
Speaker 19: joy for for football and understanding true professionalism and being prepared.
Speaker 7: And it was just a great.
Speaker 19: Experience for me alongside of you know, winning Super Bowl,
Speaker 19: but uh, just overall it was one of the best
Speaker 19: things that's happened in my life.
Speaker 13: How did they do that and how they kind of
Speaker 13: carried over there?
Speaker 19: I guess for you, Well, starting with there, it just
Speaker 19: was something that you know, there's not to be like, Oh,
Speaker 19: there's been other situations where I didn't feel prepared the
Speaker 19: way that I felt prepared over there, from the way
Speaker 19: that they you know, we come in, they come in
Speaker 19: for meetings, in the way that they looked at the
Speaker 19: film and dissected each player team these players are gonna work.
Speaker 19: I just felt prepared going into I think McVeigh does
Speaker 19: an incredible job. I remember even the month of November
Speaker 19: we they lost. I don't know what to say. We
Speaker 19: are they I'm over here now, so you know what
Speaker 19: I'm saying, Like, but we at the time that lost
Speaker 19: three games in a row and I watched him never waiver.
Speaker 19: And you know, I've seen some coaches.
Speaker 7: Lose and you see a completely different person.
Speaker 19: So that's always been my biggest compliment about him. He
Speaker 19: knows for sure publicly I've spoken about him. I have
Speaker 19: nothing but the utmost love and respect for him in
Speaker 19: that place over there, in those people I've.
Speaker 6: Seen with the Rams, they've got two receivers, Cooper Cup
Speaker 6: and Cooping the Cord having really good seasons.
Speaker 11: You had success over there.
Speaker 6: What is it about Sean mcvay's offense that makes it
Speaker 6: so wide receiver friendly.
Speaker 19: He's just a guru like he was around you know,
Speaker 19: the Shanahan's and McDaniels, and you know he's one in
Speaker 19: his own.
Speaker 7: He he just knows what he's doing. It's hard to explain.
Speaker 19: It's a very tough offense to cover a lot of emotions,
Speaker 19: a lot of receivers, you know, deceptive things that go on.
Speaker 19: So I know our defense has you know, a tough
Speaker 19: task in front of them, But I think this is
Speaker 19: the right defense for the job.
Speaker 18: You know, you talked about sign he win a super Bowl.
Speaker 1: When you back to that, back with this group where
Speaker 1: you're sitting right now, do you feel like this is
Speaker 1: a team that has a special opportunity.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I think when you when when we could sit
Speaker 19: here today at this point, am you know we're nine
Speaker 19: and three and this team's playing the way that they're playing.
Speaker 19: It's a lot easier to say it now, But I
Speaker 19: feel like before when I was looking at where to
Speaker 19: go and who to sign where, then who's gonna have
Speaker 19: an opportunity to be here?
Speaker 7: This was you know what I envisioned, not.
Speaker 19: Knowing that Harbes, you know, runs this place the right way.
Speaker 19: Like I just know I always played against the Ravens
Speaker 19: and it was always tough.
Speaker 7: It was always difficult.
Speaker 19: It was a team that you know, was just relentless,
Speaker 19: you know, tough football. And you know, sitting here now
Speaker 19: at nine and three, definitely you know know that there's
Speaker 19: an opportunity.
Speaker 7: But it comes with the same thing that we've been doing,
Speaker 7: you know, for the first twelve games.
Speaker 19: It's just finding ways to win football games, finding ways
Speaker 19: to be elite, score points and not allow the other
Speaker 19: teams to score points.
Speaker 7: But it's definitely a good opportunity.
Speaker 17: We have physically, How impactful was the buye for you
Speaker 17: just to kind of heal up and feel stronger, And
Speaker 17: do you feel like this final stretch that you're in
Speaker 17: a really good position to to you know, make your
Speaker 17: impact felt again?
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean I think it's more you just have
Speaker 19: an opportunity. You know, Yeah, your body gets the rest,
Speaker 19: But is you know too much rest?
Speaker 1: Good?
Speaker 19: Is it too you know? I think it's more of
Speaker 19: a mental break. You get to just reset. And to me,
Speaker 19: when I was thinking about or looking at the schedule
Speaker 19: and seeing that the bye week came at this time
Speaker 19: and the way that the season went. It couldn't have
Speaker 19: came at a better time. You know, now you're going
Speaker 19: into a real season. Five games left that are that
Speaker 19: are setting you up to be in the real, real season.
Speaker 19: So the bye week was great. I don't think it
Speaker 19: could have came at a better time. And it just
Speaker 19: you know, allowed you to have some time to breathe
Speaker 19: and reset.
Speaker 16: I mean, you've talked about You've talked about kind of
Speaker 16: happy milestones that you've hit this year. The first game back,
Speaker 16: you know, first touchdown back house. Does this feel like
Speaker 16: another little one? You know, going against guys that you
Speaker 16: played with, you know, big game in December.
Speaker 11: You know you're looking at it to maybe another ship
Speaker 11: of all that stuff.
Speaker 19: I mean, does it feel like another little It's just
Speaker 19: it's just I don't know how to explain.
Speaker 7: It's weird.
Speaker 19: You know, we're wearing the all purple uniforms. I don't
Speaker 19: know if they're wearing the all bone uniforms. And like
Speaker 19: last year I was or two years ago, I was
Speaker 19: over there and I scored a touchdown and win a game,
Speaker 19: and you know, now I'm over here. Hopefully I could
Speaker 19: do the same thing and you know, return the favorite
Speaker 19: of them. But it's you know, sometimes I have these
Speaker 19: days avu moments that go on, you know, mid game,
Speaker 19: after you've played for for so long, you've seen so
Speaker 19: many things.
Speaker 7: It's just a team that I have a lot of
Speaker 7: love and respectful.
Speaker 19: Obviously I want to super Bowl with them, So it
Speaker 19: does feel good to, you know, go against them to
Speaker 19: be able to see these guys, you know, I have
Speaker 19: a special bond with them, and you know the goal
Speaker 19: is obviously to win.
Speaker 7: Now on this side.
Speaker 11: A moment ago, you use the words real, real season.
Speaker 11: I guess we've descotted the postseason.
Speaker 9: Did winning a to the Bowl change how you view
Speaker 9: the progression of a season? Or is it make you
Speaker 9: more impatient to get to.
Speaker 11: The playoffs or how does it make you feel?
Speaker 19: I just feel like, just like everything in life, like
Speaker 19: you can't speed up the process to get anywhere. You know,
Speaker 19: life's gonna it's gonna take twenty four hours to get
Speaker 19: to tomorrow and then we're gonna you know, it's just
Speaker 19: a you just gotta stay in at be where your
Speaker 19: feet are at. But I remember my first playoff experience
Speaker 19: just being.
Speaker 7: You know, it just was bad.
Speaker 19: I wasn't ready for the moment, and I was itching
Speaker 19: and you know, just dying to get back to having
Speaker 19: an opportunity. And when I had the opportunity in LA,
Speaker 19: I was more than ready for it. And you know,
Speaker 19: like I was saying, the real, real season, it's it's coming,
Speaker 19: you know, it's it's gonna be on the way after
Speaker 19: five weeks, after handling our business one week at a time,
Speaker 19: trying to go want to know, the same thing, same
Speaker 19: mentality we've had all year.
Speaker 7: I just think that's the approach.
Speaker 19: You know, can't It's not gonna get here any faster
Speaker 19: if I wanted to, so that uh, you.
Speaker 9: Felt always compared with LA and you haven't always felt.
Speaker 7: That in other region. What's the preparation itself? And like
Speaker 7: you're a Baltimore man, definitely prepared.
Speaker 19: You know, uh harps harps on, uh the keys, the
Speaker 19: winning football and you know, these are the little things
Speaker 19: that if they're talked about in the wrong manner, it
Speaker 19: seems you know, negative, like we're always stressing a stressingess.
Speaker 19: But he talks about 'em in such a positive way
Speaker 19: that you see it come up in a game and
Speaker 19: we we're prepared for that, you know, we we know that, Okay,
Speaker 19: we need to get down here. We need to clock it.
Speaker 19: We need to you know, do all the the little things.
Speaker 19: So I definitely feel prepared here. You know, great preparation
Speaker 19: leads to us being able to to do what we're doing.
Speaker 12: What dos pass.
Speaker 11: And you've chosen the Black health uh, Black Women's Health inheritive.
Speaker 1: Is there a particular reason why why?
Speaker 18: It's cos.
Speaker 7: I don't know it?
Speaker 5: J it was.
Speaker 19: It's very hard to pick a cause, you know, but
Speaker 19: it's just it's something that's dear to my heart. And
Speaker 19: I'm still working on the cleats. Different situation with my
Speaker 19: cleats that you know, I used to be with and
Speaker 19: now I'm you know, trying to make it all up
Speaker 19: so hopefully I can put together something good for the cause,
Speaker 19: and you know, I want to try and get them
Speaker 19: auctioned off or something for a good price or something
Speaker 19: like that.
Speaker 7: This year.
Speaker 12: Lamar was up here earlier and said how he was
Speaker 12: starstruck being around Snoop as a guy who probably rolls
Speaker 12: deeper than anybody on this team. Are you accustomed to
Speaker 12: being in those situations and having people also see you
Speaker 12: as the star?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 19: To me, it's hard. I think that might be one
Speaker 19: of my bigger flaws. I would say is like, sometimes
Speaker 19: I don't see myself as what the world could portray me.
Speaker 19: At certain moments, I just see myself as you know, O'Dell.
Speaker 19: And I know at moments I could be OBJ or
Speaker 19: whatever you want to call it, Like I'm just a
Speaker 19: It's just how I've always been, how I was raised.
Speaker 7: Probably, But you know, I remember a little bit when
Speaker 7: I was younger.
Speaker 19: And after the catch I'll never forget, Lebron was in
Speaker 19: New York and I ended up going to Carbone with him,
Speaker 19: and I was like, this is like my idol, idol.
Speaker 19: You know, this is the person who I think I'm
Speaker 19: a little slew for this because of him. You know,
Speaker 19: like I really tried to emulate and watch everything that
Speaker 19: he did, so I definitely.
Speaker 7: Know what it's like.
Speaker 19: But I just feel like now I've been around it
Speaker 19: so much that I've just had to be accustomed to
Speaker 19: it or used to it.
Speaker 7: Even throughout the.
Speaker 4: Season, he brings up winning the school kind of his
Speaker 4: focus whinning the Super Bowl walk game.
Speaker 11: Does he talk about that?
Speaker 4: And you know he talks about that when we talk
Speaker 4: about after games with teammates, does he talk.
Speaker 11: About does he bring that up a lot?
Speaker 18: Yeah?
Speaker 19: I mean, but he brings it up in a sense
Speaker 19: of when we're talking about a specific route or a detail,
Speaker 19: you know, it's like, oh this, we need to do this,
Speaker 19: that and the third we need to do that that
Speaker 19: way it's going to work out. He's like yeah, and
Speaker 19: then he always injured, was like, I'm trying to win
Speaker 19: a bowl. Come on, Like, that's just how that's just
Speaker 19: the way of harping on theose small details because they're
Speaker 19: going to be important and that's what's going to help
Speaker 19: him help us obviously, you know, try and achieve that goal,
Speaker 19: but we know that it's a it's a big task.
Speaker 19: It's a lot of small details that go into that.
Speaker 19: But I think we're up for it.
Speaker 18: That was Odell Beckham, Junior.
Speaker 1: We also talked with winebacker Roquan Smith, who this week
Speaker 1: was announced as the Ravens nominee for the Walter Payton
Speaker 1: Man of the Year Award, which is awarded to.
Speaker 18: A player who gives back in the community.
Speaker 1: Rookwand talked about the significance of that honor and his
Speaker 1: expectations for this team the rest of the way.
Speaker 4: So from your days in the NC, do you really
Speaker 4: need a scouting report on Matthew Stafford at all.
Speaker 20: No, I definitely, you know, know of Matthew and you
Speaker 20: know know he's been playing a game for a.
Speaker 7: Very long time.
Speaker 20: Got a lot of respect to him for Himan as
Speaker 20: well being a dog and whatnot. And yeah, he's definitely
Speaker 20: a gun flinger. So you know, I'm excited for the matchup.
Speaker 20: Played against some ovide years many times, so definitely looking
Speaker 20: forward to it.
Speaker 7: They're real quin.
Speaker 5: First of all, congrats on the nomination of Walter bringing
Speaker 5: Men of the Year. What doesn't mean to you represent
Speaker 5: the Ravens that way?
Speaker 15: Thank you?
Speaker 20: And honestly, man, it means a lot to myself when
Speaker 20: I think about it, Like I told a lot of
Speaker 20: the guys, you know, like a kid from a very
Speaker 20: small town in southwest Georgia, like I told them, population
Speaker 20: of a thousand people, no stoplights, anything like that, And
Speaker 20: I just know the impact that it has on a
Speaker 20: community when, like you know, as kids, there's not a
Speaker 20: lot that you look forward to besides just like playing
Speaker 20: and then meeting superstars of whatever, influential people that give
Speaker 20: back to the community, and just knowing that the impact
Speaker 20: that it has, and that's just something that I always
Speaker 20: cherished personally, and I think about it from the perspective
Speaker 20: of if I'm only known as a really good football
Speaker 20: player and that's it, like I sold myself short and
Speaker 20: everyone else that's done so much for me in my life.
Speaker 20: So I'm just grateful to be in a position and
Speaker 20: I'm just grateful to be able to give back.
Speaker 15: And you know, I don't give back for awards anything
Speaker 15: like that.
Speaker 20: A lot of stuff I don't even really care care
Speaker 20: to talk about is more so out of the goodness
Speaker 20: of my heart, because I truly enjoyed just making kids
Speaker 20: families or you know, dose in need, putting a smile
Speaker 20: on their face, just like being a good person. That's
Speaker 20: something that I cherish and just something I always want
Speaker 20: to do with this one life that I have. OK.
Speaker 9: I know you just said that you don't do this
Speaker 9: for awards, But coming from the Bears and knowing the
Speaker 9: stature with Walter Payton, you know what what did that
Speaker 9: name mean to you when you were in that organization
Speaker 9: and for of being mentioned in alongside you know, his namesake,
Speaker 9: What does that specifically.
Speaker 3: Need to do with people?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 20: Man, have a great deal of respect for Walter Payton
Speaker 20: and everything he done, he has done and did regardless
Speaker 20: if I'm in Chicago or whether I'm here, Like the
Speaker 20: impact that he had on the community there in Chicago.
Speaker 20: Actually seen his name every day I came to work
Speaker 20: in the Walter Payton Center, used to go over there
Speaker 20: for practice up Hallis Hall, and then you know, would
Speaker 20: see him running out on Lake Michigan with kids, gifting
Speaker 20: kids with.
Speaker 15: School shoes back to school and things like that.
Speaker 20: And they've just showed what type of person he is,
Speaker 20: and like what he cared about, and how selfless he was,
Speaker 20: and like his family. So I definitely have a great
Speaker 20: deal of respect for them and just all the great
Speaker 20: things he had done throughout his life. And so I'm
Speaker 20: just grateful to be even mentioned by his name, nomination,
Speaker 20: or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 15: So I definitely take a great deal of respect in it.
Speaker 11: You came in midway through last season, fit right in.
Speaker 16: All the guys it seems like he brought in late
Speaker 16: in the game this year, whether it's Derby or Clowney
Speaker 16: or Vannoy.
Speaker 11: Fit right in have lifted the defense. Why do you
Speaker 11: think those guys have blended as well as they have
Speaker 11: And kind of what's the art of doing that?
Speaker 16: You know, coming into a situation mission you know a
Speaker 16: little bit later, but you know fitting in.
Speaker 20: Yeah, man, I just think that credits to the coaching
Speaker 20: staff here, the style that we are here, and I
Speaker 20: think it just goes to good leadership and just making
Speaker 20: everyone feel welcome, welcome to be themselves and not try
Speaker 20: to be anything that they're not. And I feel like
Speaker 20: if you express that to end of visuals players, especially
Speaker 20: when they come in here, making sure they know that
Speaker 20: they can don't have to try to act be anything
Speaker 20: they don't. I think guys just being themselves and it
Speaker 20: makes them play the best version of themselves. And I
Speaker 20: think it's also credit to the coaches for putting us
Speaker 20: in the right situation, right positions and getting us are
Speaker 20: one on ones and getting us favorable matchups.
Speaker 1: Lamar and O'Dell will talked about chasing a Super Bowl.
Speaker 18: How that's obviously the goal for this team.
Speaker 1: With where you guys are sitting at this point in
Speaker 1: nine to three and the group of players that you have,
Speaker 1: best young players, do you feel like this is a
Speaker 1: pretty unique opportunity that you guys have as a team
Speaker 1: to try to achieve that goal.
Speaker 20: I definitely think this is a very unique situation on
Speaker 20: a very unique team and a lot of veteran leadership
Speaker 20: and got a lot of younger guys as well that
Speaker 20: are very hungry and like truth be told, going into
Speaker 20: each and every year, there's truly only probably eight nine
Speaker 20: teams that actually have a chance to compete for a
Speaker 20: Super Bowl. And that's on the higher side and just
Speaker 20: knowing that we actually have an opportunity to but we
Speaker 20: just can't get to the bigger picture. We have to
Speaker 20: take it one aim at a time, and we expressed
Speaker 20: at each other day in and day out, and it's
Speaker 20: just about going one and know for the week and
Speaker 20: if we feel as we do that and play to
Speaker 20: the best of our ability, disguise the limit.
Speaker 15: But we can't get ahead of ourselves.
Speaker 20: We've got a great matchup with LA this week, take
Speaker 20: care of that and then we just go on from there.
Speaker 20: But the big focus right now is just this week.
Speaker 13: Perform defensively.
Speaker 8: You know yourself, Pile, you know, some of those guys
Speaker 8: get a lot, you know, get a lot of attention. Excusy,
Speaker 8: how would you describe I guess the impact of there
Speaker 8: just some of the less earl of guys who you
Speaker 8: know have pep snap could have had impacted.
Speaker 13: At moments, whether it's guys in twos or Brian Urban
Speaker 13: and lead push it to guys in terms of fitting
Speaker 13: into that defensive picture and being in helping defensively.
Speaker 18: As good as us.
Speaker 20: Yeah, I think honestly it just goes back to each
Speaker 20: and every god being selfless and every guy knowing their
Speaker 20: role and not trying to be anything that they're not
Speaker 20: and not trying to get salty or upset that what
Speaker 20: someone else is doing. Just also more happy for the
Speaker 20: betterment of the team. And I think that's the mindset
Speaker 20: of the guys, Like whoever gets the success, we all
Speaker 20: get the success at the end of the day, because
Speaker 20: once you do get a ring, we all get one.
Speaker 20: You know, once you do win a title conference or whatever,
Speaker 20: everyone gets recognition, not just one player. And I think
Speaker 20: everyone knows that, and we're just all about the betterment
Speaker 20: of the team. And that's basically it clown.
Speaker 4: Everyone's kind of I mean, you know, at this point
Speaker 4: in the career, I think a lot of people are going,
Speaker 4: you know, how much does this guy kind of have left?
Speaker 11: You can get a sense when you're playing.
Speaker 4: With him that that has been a driving.
Speaker 20: Force for him this year Honestly, I don't think he
Speaker 20: think about that, Like he thinks about lining up and
Speaker 20: kicking the man's butt across from him in a sense,
Speaker 20: and like he's been great this year and I'm grateful
Speaker 20: to have him as a teammate. I think he has
Speaker 20: many years left in the tank the way he go
Speaker 20: out and I see some things that he do, Like
Speaker 20: people may say he've lost things in there, but I
Speaker 20: see it week in and week out, like this guy's
Speaker 20: dangers out there and he's could help any team in
Speaker 20: his league be better, and he's definitely helping us. So
Speaker 20: I think it's a great addition and I'm just grateful
Speaker 20: that he's on my team.
Speaker 9: Topic, but it's kind of the topic of the week
Speaker 9: for you watching the college football playoff seeding.
Speaker 11: Live and what was your reaction to Georgia being left
Speaker 11: out of you know.
Speaker 7: Possibly trying to three people.
Speaker 14: Honestly, man, I wasn't watching it live.
Speaker 20: I actually probably found out somebody takes me I think,
Speaker 20: and was like, dang, it's crazy how they did the dogs.
Speaker 20: But at the end of the day, I think about it,
Speaker 20: just like Kirby said, like if you say George is
Speaker 20: not one of the best four teams, then you're lying
Speaker 20: to yourself and like, I don't know what you own,
Speaker 20: blue dust or whatever the.
Speaker 15: Case may be, but that is what it is.
Speaker 20: So you know, I definitely think the Dogs are definitely
Speaker 20: one of the four best teams in the land, like
Speaker 20: without a question, And if anyone else disagree with that,
Speaker 20: it just goes back to opinions. But when you look
Speaker 20: at it from top to bottom, for sure, but you
Speaker 20: know it's an opinions with that, So hats off those
Speaker 20: guys are committee.
Speaker 15: I guess that's what they do.
Speaker 20: That's their job, not my job, so I'm not too
Speaker 20: focused on it, but I definitely think the Dogs should
Speaker 20: have been in there.
Speaker 15: In my words, you think the.
Speaker 5: Rams this weekend staff word didn't have any sad last
Speaker 5: week against the Browns, only one the last three games.
Speaker 5: I guess we're challenging for you guys to pace the
Speaker 5: Rams and M and T.
Speaker 20: It's a challenge every week you go out there plan
Speaker 20: in the NFL because everyone is good. The parod in
Speaker 20: this league is very small, so any team can beat
Speaker 20: you any given week, and I think that just credits
Speaker 20: to their offensive line, like being able to protect him
Speaker 20: knowing if Stafford is protected. He can do a lot
Speaker 20: of great things with his arm, so definitely gotta get
Speaker 20: out of him though. That's our plan, and we're gonna
Speaker 20: do everything in our power and we're just gonna make
Speaker 20: make sure we come out play our style of defense,
Speaker 20: and we feel if we do that, everything else will
Speaker 20: take care of yourself.
Speaker 11: In a little over a.
Speaker 17: Year since you've joined the Ravens, what's it been like
Speaker 17: working with this coaching staff that you're talking about in
Speaker 17: John Harbaugh in particular.
Speaker 20: Honestly, Man, I enjoyed being here so much. A great
Speaker 20: place to work, Harps, you know, a great leader from
Speaker 20: top then you know more so with Mike dealing with
Speaker 20: him every day. I think he's one of most cerebral,
Speaker 20: brilliant minds in the game, man. And just like the
Speaker 20: way he create matchups, the way he do things day
Speaker 20: in and day out, like and create similar pictures and
Speaker 20: be something different or be the same thing. So I
Speaker 20: think it's it's great, man, and he just knows how
Speaker 20: to attack. And I'm just grateful that a minute and
Speaker 20: plan for such a brilliant mind on the defensive side,
Speaker 20: and also just having you know, Zo in the room.
Speaker 20: Former player All Pro Player as well and all the
Speaker 20: great things hed done throughout the league. Just having that
Speaker 20: constant reminder as well, I think it's great. And being
Speaker 20: playing with another baller man is in PQ, so it
Speaker 20: makes everything a lot better. And then you know, got
Speaker 20: a lot of really good guys around me from the
Speaker 20: defensive line to the secondary and as well as the
Speaker 20: scout team that's giving us look day in and day out.
Speaker 20: So I'm just grateful to be a part of it.
Speaker 4: It looks like the forecast is rainy and ninety seph
Speaker 4: Rayne and to wind. How much do can the elements
Speaker 4: really impact a game?
Speaker 3: Do you feel?
Speaker 20: I definitely feel like it can impact the game from
Speaker 20: an offensive perspective, but from a defensive perspective, Like I
Speaker 20: say all the time, you can know you can roll
Speaker 20: it out out wherever, pavement, trampoline, you want to get
Speaker 20: out there and play. You want to do it in
Speaker 20: the lake water polos like, hey, we all about it.
Speaker 20: We'll go anywhere anytime. We've done it and we don't
Speaker 20: mind doing it again. So whatever the case may be,
Speaker 20: we'll be ready, I can promise you up.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker roku wand Smith in the locker room today.
Speaker 1: We also talk with cornerback Marlin.
Speaker 10: For you, it's you know, meeting after meeting, you know,
Speaker 10: rep after rep, practice after practice, and then you go
Speaker 10: into the game and then you're ready to go. So
Speaker 10: we're kind of just looking for it to Sunday, winning
Speaker 10: that game and just continue to control we can control.
Speaker 9: Kyle Willmers this year, and he doesn't really seem all
Speaker 9: that surprised by it.
Speaker 7: I know you've been close.
Speaker 10: Since he got here to baltimoreand what he kind of
Speaker 10: kind of sticks out to you, doubt is confidence in
Speaker 10: the way that he goes about just pursuing new things.
Speaker 10: I think the probably the most interesting thing about Coline.
Speaker 10: He's a how he walks around here is now who
Speaker 10: he is on Sunday. He's a really cool guy, cool
Speaker 10: to hang out with. You would think he plays the
Speaker 10: way he uh he acts. So that's a really cool
Speaker 10: thing to see him turn that that switch on and
Speaker 10: off every Sunday and just become like a he's like
Speaker 10: a he's like a bully. He's like a bully out there,
Speaker 10: uh with the stuff he does. So it's really good
Speaker 10: to see him emerge. I I guess, I mean, I
Speaker 10: think everybody always saw it, even Edec From the day
Speaker 10: he was seemed like he was just so excited, not
Speaker 10: thinking he was gonna be able to draft him, and
Speaker 10: then draft day came he was able to get him.
Speaker 10: So I don't think anyone's too surprised. I mean, the
Speaker 10: guys six or four can play literally any position on defense,
Speaker 10: it seems like, so nobody's too surprised. But it's really
Speaker 10: good to see him, you know, flourishing Marland.
Speaker 11: Weather it could be a factor on Sunday.
Speaker 13: How does like, you know, rain and win like they're
