Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. It is a
Speaker 1: good Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens took down the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions thirty eight to six to improve to five and
Speaker 1: two on the season. It was an absolutely dominant performance
Speaker 1: from this Ravens team as they show that they are
Speaker 1: one of the best in the National Football League. After
Speaker 1: they went head coach John Harbaud met with the media.
Speaker 2: First of all, I just want to say humbly to
Speaker 2: God be the glory. You fight and you compete, and
Speaker 2: you know, we have a lot of guys have their faith,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: And it's a big part of the National Football League.
Speaker 2: It's a big part of what we do, and we
Speaker 2: have an opportunity like that just to be grateful for
Speaker 2: the graciousness of God and the grace that He gives
Speaker 2: us is a valuable, wonderful thing and our guys, our
Speaker 2: guys feel that way.
Speaker 3: Also.
Speaker 2: I want to mention Mohammed Ibrahim and the injuries, so
Speaker 2: we'll be praying for him tonight and hope he's well.
Speaker 3: Proud of the guys.
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, I don't know how many touchdowns do you have?
Speaker 2: A bunch too, seem like more, but that should have been.
Speaker 3: I like the way you're thinking. I like the way
Speaker 3: we're thinking. So what questions you have?
Speaker 4: You've heard everything that people are talking about, the lions
Speaker 4: and the double digit winds, things like double digit.
Speaker 3: Victories and points.
Speaker 4: Do you feel the way you guys came out today?
Speaker 4: What's the same statement game in anyway.
Speaker 3: For you guys? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys can define all that stuff the
Speaker 2: way you want, and that's cool. You know where we're
Speaker 2: going to just define it in terms of what we
Speaker 2: think we're capable of playing like and I promise you
Speaker 2: all the different things in that game that we feel
Speaker 2: like we can do better, but the things that we
Speaker 2: did well and we stand out and we build on
Speaker 2: and things we can do better, we got to take
Speaker 2: with us out the Arizona and find a way to
Speaker 2: keep getting better so that that kind of creates a
Speaker 2: vision for what we can be.
Speaker 3: But let's go be even better.
Speaker 5: Do you remember the last time you guys have played
Speaker 5: that complete double game in your mind?
Speaker 3: I haven't been thinking about that right now.
Speaker 6: I haven't Normally, when when they're tossed so often to
Speaker 6: for and today you chose to have the balls that
Speaker 6: amount of went into that.
Speaker 3: That was a win thing.
Speaker 2: We felt like, we want to say ourselves up so
Speaker 2: we could possibly but the wind blowing the way it
Speaker 2: was that we would have the choice to take the
Speaker 2: win in the fourth quarter if we wanted to.
Speaker 3: That's why we did that.
Speaker 6: Speaking performance, as you've been around a lot of them,
Speaker 6: more Jackson games, where do you how would you describe that?
Speaker 7: How do you read that?
Speaker 2: You know, every time every time we have a win,
Speaker 2: my dad texts me, he says, that was your best
Speaker 2: win ever, you know, so I'd say that was his
Speaker 2: best game ever, you know. But he played a great game.
Speaker 2: I just been so many great games. But Lamar got
Speaker 2: the lion spike along with all the guys making plays.
Speaker 2: It was just it was wall to wall. It was
Speaker 2: wall to wall from the beginning to the end.
Speaker 6: Coach was the most impressive about Lamar's growing in the square.
Speaker 3: You know, it's so many things.
Speaker 2: I just think everybody's got their own unique path and
Speaker 2: everybody wants to make comparisons. I mean, he's Lamar is
Speaker 2: his own unique person style, all challenges that he faces,
Speaker 2: all these different kind of things. I just think he's
Speaker 2: very determined, very persistent. He's not even that. I don't
Speaker 2: think he's even that happy with the game. When I
Speaker 2: see him in the locker room right now, it's not
Speaker 2: like he's all giddy and.
Speaker 3: There is he Mark sure wasn't.
Speaker 2: He's thinking about the plays that he could have had
Speaker 2: there he comes in here, see see right, he's thinking
Speaker 2: about the plays.
Speaker 3: He wants to get better.
Speaker 2: So that that's that's uh, that's how all our guys
Speaker 2: are thinking right now. It's how they should be thinking.
Speaker 2: But but Lamar, I just said it. I said, my
Speaker 2: dad always says the last we win. He said that
Speaker 2: was the best game ever. So they asked me where
Speaker 2: it ranked. So it's the last one, so it's the
Speaker 2: best one, right, all right?
Speaker 6: John went into the decision to go for a fourth
Speaker 6: and four off your original on your initial drive.
Speaker 2: Fourth and four, to go for fourth and four, fourth
Speaker 2: and one, the one that we did the thing, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we thought we were Our plan was to go for
Speaker 2: fourth and one or less in those situations were we
Speaker 2: weren't going to go for fourth and two. Our plan
Speaker 2: and strategically early in the game was to be fourth
Speaker 2: and one or last. Once we got down in there close.
Speaker 8: Enough, John, this was you didn't lose the day of preparation.
Speaker 8: But you had a long flight back Monday. You've been
Speaker 8: on the road three straight weeks.
Speaker 9: You'd come back kind of How please were you with
Speaker 9: how your guys handled that?
Speaker 10: And could you tell in practice this week.
Speaker 11: That they were really dialed in in any potential concerns
Speaker 11: but a lon didn't hang over.
Speaker 8: Were legit?
Speaker 2: They were locked in from day one. Every single guy
Speaker 2: was completely locked into practice. We had three excellent practices
Speaker 2: they I'll tell you one thing about these guys. There
Speaker 2: is no turning to the right nor to the left.
Speaker 2: They are like this. That's how their focus is right
Speaker 2: now every single day. You love it as a coach,
Speaker 2: That's how they feel. That's how they go to work.
Speaker 2: I wasn't even thinking about it. Everybody kept asking me
Speaker 2: about not taking the buy or whatever.
Speaker 3: You know, there you.
Speaker 6: Go, John, you just have the past rush production it
Speaker 6: really ever, you feel like that's been an earder where
Speaker 6: you guys have been particularly resourceful and you haven't really
Speaker 6: done it in the same way every week.
Speaker 2: No, I think we've done the same way over Those
Speaker 2: guys are bringing it with a real viciousness about the
Speaker 2: way they rushing the pass or I mean they're bringing it,
Speaker 2: you know, and they're technique is getting better. The timing
Speaker 2: on the stunts and the blitzes are better, the individual
Speaker 2: moves are better. And Chuck Smiths done a great job.
Speaker 2: Manthy Weavers doing a great job of coaching those guys.
Speaker 2: But we got some legit pass rushers. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 2: just give the guys credit, you know, give the guys
Speaker 2: who are rushing the quarterback credit, give talks, start talking
Speaker 2: about them, you know, because I think they deserve it.
Speaker 10: Two weeks ago, list of the jobs that git'sbury. Last
Speaker 10: week's all talked about the red zone and all that stuff.
Speaker 8: So make these quick corrections in a week's week.
Speaker 10: League, what's that say about your season?
Speaker 2: I'm really not in any big old arching themes, you know.
Speaker 2: I just think you got guys that they said it. Afterwards,
Speaker 2: you know, you go back to work and these guys
Speaker 2: are capable.
Speaker 3: Of our guys.
Speaker 2: We have playmakers, We have tough guys, we have physical players,
Speaker 2: we have smart players, we have guys that, like we said,
Speaker 2: are focused, that work really hard, and we have playmakers.
Speaker 3: So nobody's surprised. You know. We just want to keep
Speaker 3: stacking it. Just keep improving and keep stacking it. Bringing
Speaker 3: guys in the secondary.
Speaker 10: What are you what are you looking for? Because them
Speaker 10: you keep.
Speaker 3: Minding the right guys to kind of fill in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it takes a lot of It takes
Speaker 2: a lot of takes a lot of You gotta be
Speaker 2: stealed to play back there, don't you, Mike.
Speaker 3: I mean you got to.
Speaker 2: You gotta have a certain mindset, you know, and we
Speaker 2: want tough guys, guys that will do their job. You know,
Speaker 2: when guys will have their eyes where they're supposed to be,
Speaker 2: when they're supposed to be there, tackle, play hard, but
Speaker 2: guys can get get the ball off receivers.
Speaker 3: Those are all things that you look for.
Speaker 6: John Jay Flowers wide open, Patrick are light open play,
Speaker 6: twenty five yards of Gus Edwards has the entire field
Speaker 6: in the front of Are those Todd Munkins schemes or
Speaker 6: what worked?
Speaker 4: What what made those plays works?
Speaker 3: I mean, the schemes are great, you know.
Speaker 2: I felt like they did a great job and Todds
Speaker 2: there's a credit matter fact, Todd got a game ball
Speaker 2: with the offensive coaches in there, so that was great.
Speaker 2: And he had a few choice words for the guys,
Speaker 2: which was fun as you can imagine.
Speaker 3: But it was execution too.
Speaker 2: I mean, those those players are great plays, but they
Speaker 2: were executed well and starts the quarterback I mean Lamar
Speaker 2: in and out of the huddle, executing the way he did.
Speaker 2: How about the pass protection, I mean the offensive line
Speaker 2: is there was a ton of credit right there.
Speaker 3: That was a really good pass rush team.
Speaker 2: A power, power rushing team wants to knock you back
Speaker 2: into the quarterback and cage rush the quarterback and had
Speaker 2: plenty of time back there.
Speaker 8: Along these lines.
Speaker 12: Every week we see, you know, a new wrinkle, a
Speaker 12: new tweet to this offense. Obviously, just the idea of
Speaker 12: building something together with Todd, with the kind of manufacturers
Speaker 12: of this offense.
Speaker 13: What is that kind of you know, optimists.
Speaker 12: Provide you for going forward, just knowing that you have
Speaker 12: a cloud a cop mixability.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, that's a good thing for you guys
Speaker 2: to think about and right about. And you'll come up
Speaker 2: with some great stat you know analysis, right, that'll be
Speaker 2: really interesting and.
Speaker 3: I'll read it.
Speaker 2: I'll read it, and it'd be cool. But really, all
Speaker 2: we just got to be thinking about is Arizona. It's
Speaker 2: all we gotta be thinking about.
Speaker 3: Is the Cardinals.
Speaker 1: We also had a chance to hear from quarterback Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: and Lamar played excellent through three touchdowns, also ran in another.
Speaker 1: But he wasn't totally satisfied. He thinks that he can
Speaker 1: be even better and he wants this type of performance
Speaker 1: every single week from this team.
Speaker 4: So, Lark, you know, Lions had the best record in
Speaker 4: the NFL from here and you beat him by thirty two?
Speaker 4: What does that say about the previous team?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 5: I mean when we when we doing, we were supposed
Speaker 5: to what we supposed to do, Like I always say,
Speaker 5: the strides a limit for us, and we just showed
Speaker 5: a glimpse today.
Speaker 3: I believe, well, Mary, you would seem very happy after.
Speaker 5: So, I mean, I believe when you playing regular season games,
Speaker 5: you should be okay, you know with winning. I'm alright
Speaker 5: with winning, but still regular season, you know, and we
Speaker 5: made shrides for improvement from last week and early on
Speaker 5: in the season. I believe we did. But it's just
Speaker 5: one regular season game. So, Mar, what does it feel?
Speaker 14: What does it feel like when you guys in the
Speaker 14: first half are clicking like that and they're finishing every.
Speaker 10: Drive with touchdowns?
Speaker 5: What is the feeling?
Speaker 3: What is the confidence level.
Speaker 5: What was it like today in the first half. Just
Speaker 5: be keep being consistent and keep doing what we doing.
Speaker 5: We had one hiccup, man man j Justin, but you
Speaker 5: know we talked about on the sideline and we shouldn't
Speaker 5: have having that problem anymore.
Speaker 3: But list stuff like that.
Speaker 5: That's why I'm not I, you know, please with the win,
Speaker 5: because we was trying to strive for every job, we're
Speaker 5: gonna score, put points on the board, but we didn't
Speaker 5: because of that fumble.
Speaker 3: But it's pretty good.
Speaker 5: We got the win, so I'm satisfied.
Speaker 11: Are You talked a lot about leaving plays on the field,
Speaker 11: and you guys hit on.
Speaker 5: To a lot of big plays. They lit up the
Speaker 5: score board. I mean, just what do you feel like
Speaker 5: to see the offense kind of at least I would imagine.
Speaker 4: Getting close to what you guys would wanna.
Speaker 6: Look like if you said that.
Speaker 5: I mean, it's pretty good, you know. I That's what
Speaker 5: we expected. That's what we expect out each other. You know,
Speaker 5: our offense to be moving about down the field. No
Speaker 5: problem in punt points on the board. But we need
Speaker 5: to just keep being consistent. That's the biggest aspect I've
Speaker 5: got out of this game.
Speaker 6: Yes, I mean we respect the whole summer asking you
Speaker 6: about Giving's offense and total top sad that you were,
Speaker 6: but is this kind of what you had in mind?
Speaker 5: Kind of what you were d Yeah, but we just
Speaker 5: need to keep doing the weekend and we got not
Speaker 5: just one game and next week, uh, the following week
Speaker 5: is oh where did the offense go?
Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
Speaker 5: I don't like seeing stuff and hearing stuff like that,
Speaker 5: cause I believe we got a great offense.
Speaker 15: Wh you guys sick as all?
Speaker 1: Did you have one of the points toss and then
Speaker 1: took the ball and then you went out to playing.
Speaker 3: Score four down?
Speaker 10: Boy?
Speaker 1: How big and how important was that?
Speaker 9: You feel?
Speaker 4: Like that kind of step and totally to this game.
Speaker 5: I wasn't expecting because of all season, I don't believe
Speaker 5: we won a Coorn Toss. And I said this last
Speaker 5: week when we playing Tennessee on the side line, I'm like,
Speaker 5: we haven't won a Korn Toss and we begetting the
Speaker 5: ball first every game, you know. But when we won,
Speaker 5: I was expecting the defense go out there and then
Speaker 5: Snoop told me, yeah, we we out there first. I
Speaker 5: was cool with it, but we just had to be focused,
Speaker 5: and that's what we did today. We was a lot focused,
Speaker 5: a lot sharp, I believe, But we just need to
Speaker 5: keep doing it.
Speaker 6: Mar John talked about the offensive line seemed like a
Speaker 6: special in the first seven. I don't know whether I've
Speaker 6: ever seen you on the regular basins have as much
Speaker 6: time to throw as that you did.
Speaker 3: I mean, was that feel that way to you?
Speaker 5: First of all, the Detroit got a great defensive line,
Speaker 5: but I believe our offense just bought the tailoff. You know,
Speaker 5: f mol Tie, you know John Zeidler s running. Those
Speaker 5: guys just bloughed they tail off and with with the
Speaker 5: time that I had, I just had to get my
Speaker 5: receiver tight, running back, flow back the ball. You know
Speaker 5: what a great location. The Scuy's a living for offense.
Speaker 5: We just need to keep doing it.
Speaker 4: Or there were multiple times where you put the defensive
Speaker 4: impossible situation, you look like you're gonna run, and then
Speaker 4: you threw the ball. The big one was the Gus Edwards.
Speaker 3: Was that you is that coach Monkin? Was that schemed up?
Speaker 5: Actually?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it up.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say what was schemed up? We had success with
Speaker 5: it? It was schemed up. I don't want to give it away,
Speaker 5: But hats off the gus for you having to hit
Speaker 5: keeping his head up, you know what, doing what he's
Speaker 5: supposed to do.
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard it from
Speaker 1: tight end Mark Andrews on National tight End's Day.
Speaker 8: Mark Pittsburgh.
Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago, you described kind of sleep.
Speaker 11: You said, the turn you're supposed to sleeping giant when
Speaker 11: you start correcting some of the states.
Speaker 9: Do you feel like that's more in line of what
Speaker 9: you're capable of when you, you know, cut.
Speaker 3: Out the stakes.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that was a I think we played
Speaker 8: really well.
Speaker 11: I think it was a fishing ball, consistent ball, and
Speaker 11: I think guys made plays left and right. Everybody on
Speaker 11: the field a lot of you know, we have a
Speaker 11: lot of dangers playmakers, so when we do that, we're efficient.
Speaker 8: It's hard to stop. And I think you saw that
Speaker 8: in the first four drives.
Speaker 6: Man, I know you wanted to have a big game
Speaker 6: every week, but do you have any extra motivation with
Speaker 6: today being nationally tightened?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I think you know, for me, we
Speaker 11: had a more importantly, we had a little boy in
Speaker 11: in our facility this week, Isaac.
Speaker 8: That was at the we're in an Isaac.
Speaker 11: Band and I had met him a few years back
Speaker 11: in La and he was going through a hard time.
Speaker 11: You know, life's not fair, and you know, he really
Speaker 11: touched me, and uh, it was awesome to see him
Speaker 11: this week. So I told him that, you know, we're
Speaker 11: gonna go out and I was gonna get him some
Speaker 11: touchdowns and win this game. And I'm just extremely blessed
Speaker 11: to be able to see him, see how strong he
Speaker 11: is right now, and just just the messages to continue
Speaker 11: to fight, man, just continue to fight and be happy.
Speaker 11: You know, people are going through things in life, and
Speaker 11: just take it day by day and just be happier,
Speaker 11: alive and taking a breath.
Speaker 5: Thuck he is Mark.
Speaker 3: Did it seem like horribles?
Speaker 4: I mean La Moors had games like this also play.
Speaker 4: It seemed like he was an how long point do
Speaker 4: you feel the mormles go to deck?
Speaker 8: He was slinging it and he was a man.
Speaker 11: He was you know, on the money all day, money
Speaker 11: lamar and yeah, you know at times, you know, just
Speaker 11: extending drives, you know.
Speaker 8: If you had to. But ballplacement was incredible.
Speaker 13: Surprised they were kind of a few guys a little
Speaker 13: bit as far as coverage.
Speaker 11: You know, I think that you know, they played hard,
Speaker 11: they're a good team, and you know, I think we
Speaker 11: took advantage of you know whatever, you know, whatever a
Speaker 11: monk saw, you know, he called a really good game plan.
Speaker 8: So you know, I think guys made place.
Speaker 9: Mark.
Speaker 10: You talked all season about how good the potential is
Speaker 10: of this offense. To put it all together in this game,
Speaker 10: what does that do for the offense moving board?
Speaker 11: Well, I think it's time, you know, you talk about
Speaker 11: the time of year that it is, it's you know,
Speaker 11: time to separate and and become the team that you
Speaker 11: want to you want to be. You know, I think
Speaker 11: if we can continue to stack, continue to get better
Speaker 11: and take it week by week. You know, now we're
Speaker 11: focused on Arizona and you know, hopefully you know, become
Speaker 11: even a better team this week than we were to
Speaker 11: you know, turn this game.
Speaker 8: So that's our goal every week is to get better.
Speaker 6: I mean, speaking in the marketing you we've heard you
Speaker 6: talk about putting losses or just winning the promise to
Speaker 6: find you do you have to do that syndary with
Speaker 6: a great performances.
Speaker 11: That's what Yeah, you know I'm gonna you know, my
Speaker 11: my mom and dad are in town and my girlfriend.
Speaker 8: So I'm gonna celebrate that.
Speaker 11: And you know, I'm I'm already you know, looking on
Speaker 11: to Arizona. I'm excited about that to go home and
Speaker 11: play a good game. This is a big game for us,
Speaker 11: and no one in this locker room or this organization
Speaker 11: is going to take this lightly.
Speaker 12: Marco when you look at what this offense did today
Speaker 12: last week obviously not scoring, but does it feel like,
Speaker 12: you know, you guys are kind of getting more in
Speaker 12: sync with Todd and he knows what you do well,
Speaker 12: and you know what he likes to call. I mean,
Speaker 12: is that a thing for.
Speaker 8: I think today was lights out.
Speaker 11: I think, you know, just by Lamar obviously coach Monk,
Speaker 11: you know, from from the top down, you know, on
Speaker 11: the offense side of the ball.
Speaker 8: Those two guys were elite.
Speaker 4: Thing about this team that, I mean the overall team
Speaker 4: for the Ravens to go out and beat Alliance team
Speaker 4: they had the best record the NFL by thirty two points.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and I think guys were guys were ready prepared
Speaker 11: and I think someone mentioned it earlier and just that
Speaker 11: the whole week in London and getting back here and
Speaker 11: I think that guys did a great job of getting
Speaker 11: their sleep, getting right, being being pros and showed today
Speaker 11: lights out all all three phases, you know, defense. Shout
Speaker 11: out to them they I mean, lockdown every game. It's
Speaker 11: every game. They're just bringing it. So we got a
Speaker 11: dangerous team and excited, like I said, just week by week.
Speaker 1: In addition to Mark and Lamar and coach Arbor who
Speaker 1: talked at the podium, we also went inside the Ravens
Speaker 1: locker room and talked with better linebacker Roquan Smith.
Speaker 14: So how would you describe that overall effort?
Speaker 7: I was pretty amazing, you know, like we said all week, man,
Speaker 7: we just came out and did what we had to do,
Speaker 7: and we just played our style of defense, and we
Speaker 7: just knew that they haven't seen it face the defense
Speaker 7: this year like ours.
Speaker 14: What does it feel like on the sideline on the field,
Speaker 14: But when you have your offense I'm talking about in
Speaker 14: the first half, when you have an offense clicking like
Speaker 14: that and your defense clicking like that at the same time,
Speaker 14: everything's going your way, what is the feeling, what's the
Speaker 14: confidence of ale?
Speaker 7: Like for this team, it's an amazing feeling. Then that
Speaker 7: should be the feeling all the time. You know, got
Speaker 7: a huge amount of faith in the offense as well
Speaker 7: as a huge amount of facing us on the defense.
Speaker 7: So we just got to come out play to the
Speaker 7: best of our ability, and I feel like we do
Speaker 7: that disguise the limit for us both.
Speaker 1: There was a lot made this week about there and
Speaker 1: then having one of the top ranked offenses. You ever
Speaker 1: in one of the top ranked defenses. What do you
Speaker 1: think this kind of win says and shows about this team,
Speaker 1: this defense.
Speaker 7: If I recall, I think early in the week I said,
Speaker 7: I'm from the show me business, so you know a
Speaker 7: lot of things happen here and there, but you got
Speaker 7: to show me once we are on the field. I
Speaker 7: don't believe in all the things.
Speaker 1: That you hear.
Speaker 7: And like I said, you know that chain hadn't been
Speaker 7: tested just yet, so that's what it was.
Speaker 8: Who was that your version of showing them. I'll let
Speaker 8: you be the judge.
Speaker 7: You know, I think the score is the judge as
Speaker 7: well as you know they got cheap yards at the end.
Speaker 7: But you know, hats off to just the way we
Speaker 7: played as a team and just proud to be a
Speaker 7: part of it.
Speaker 3: Off shorts partial statement of sorts to show everybody.
Speaker 11: You could they get all this attention this week to show.
Speaker 6: People like, you know, we're pretty damn good.
Speaker 7: Oh well, a statement, I guess for the outsiders who
Speaker 7: you know, don't quite know exactly what we're about. But
Speaker 7: far as the guys in the locker room, we had
Speaker 7: faith all week, you know, from Tuesday, once we got
Speaker 7: Monday late, once we got back from London, we knew
Speaker 7: exactly what we had at hand, and we just went
Speaker 7: out hid the business accordingly from Monday until Sunday, and
Speaker 7: we finish it up and enjoyed tonight and then we'll
Speaker 7: move on to Arizona.
Speaker 1: The London trip, you know, there's a lot of talk
Speaker 1: about that and not taking the buy after. How do
Speaker 1: you think that? How pleased were you with the way
Speaker 1: that you guys responded during the week leading up to
Speaker 1: this point from the challenges of that trip?
Speaker 7: Yeah, man, And it was an awesome time over in London.
Speaker 7: Got the dub And you know, some people make excuses
Speaker 7: and some don't, So I'm not in the excuse making business,
Speaker 7: nor are the guys that's in this locker room. So
Speaker 7: we just go out do what we have to do
Speaker 7: and handle business accordingly.
Speaker 2: Remember to have that game in front of so many
Speaker 2: Ravens legends, you know, Sugs going in the Ring of
Speaker 2: Honor and all those guys watching there.
Speaker 3: What does it mean to you perform that way in
Speaker 3: front of them?
Speaker 8: Man?
Speaker 7: This amazing feeling just knowing you know, those guys came
Speaker 7: before us, and you know set the standard what it
Speaker 7: means to play as a Raven, as a Raven defense
Speaker 7: as well, and you know the way those guys played. Man,
Speaker 7: It's just it means a lot just to be able
Speaker 7: to go out perform in front of those legends and
Speaker 7: you know everything they've done that's set up to the
Speaker 7: ravesmen to have the name that they have and coming
Speaker 7: from those guys. So it was an amazing feeling. I'm
Speaker 7: just happy we was able to take care of business
Speaker 7: and play Raven style in front of those guys.
Speaker 6: You've been saying that this defense doesn't happen, and just
Speaker 6: performance and support that you.
Speaker 5: Been saying all along.
Speaker 7: I think if you look at it every single week
Speaker 7: that we play, you know there's little things that's gonna happen.
Speaker 7: That's just you know, part of being in the league
Speaker 7: and and you know those guys get the paychecks as well,
Speaker 7: and they're some of the best in the business. But yeah,
Speaker 7: as I look at it, man from top to bottom,
Speaker 7: d line, linebackers, secondary, I don't really see any weaknesses.
Speaker 7: And if we're all on our game, it's very hard
Speaker 7: to move the ball on us, especially scoring. You know,
Speaker 7: they got that one late. But hey, you know, live
Speaker 7: despite another day. We'll bounce back on you.
Speaker 13: You've kind of become the.
Speaker 15: Guy who's getting a speech on the feeling huddle for
Speaker 15: the game curs for what you said.
Speaker 8: Those guys today.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I normally don't share that information, but I'll give
Speaker 7: you a little sneak peek since she asked today. Uh,
Speaker 7: I'm feeling good, you know. But no, it was more
Speaker 7: so like I was just telling those guys, you know,
Speaker 7: it's our house. At the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 7: they say it was lions. They were coming to the bank,
Speaker 7: you know, it wasn't a den and a nutshell. And
Speaker 7: then you know, I talked to team security and umber everyone,
Speaker 7: and I told him lock the doors, you know, and
Speaker 7: we'll decide when we want to let them out. And
Speaker 7: I think we did it accordingly.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Kwan Smith and his teammate Patrick quinn
Speaker 1: e got a locker right next to him, who also
Speaker 1: is flying all over the place today and really throughout
Speaker 1: the entire season. He talked today about the win over
Speaker 1: the Lions.
Speaker 13: We'll talk about that much, but we definitely know and uh,
Speaker 13: we just that's what we preached it. They don't spoke, man,
Speaker 13: they came in, so obviously we wanna keep showing the mind.
Speaker 13: That's why we so pissed about the freaking touchdown that
Speaker 13: we give up today.
Speaker 8: You know what it's up to right now? I have
Speaker 8: you know how many so you fell out so far?
Speaker 3: Seven?
Speaker 8: I thinks six?
Speaker 3: Six? Like one?
Speaker 9: Is it a special team? Right?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I know now.
Speaker 1: Y you know to that point of it, haven't played
Speaker 1: you guys yet. That was a common theme of what
Speaker 1: players said in here. Is that something that you guys
Speaker 1: really take seriously kind of is is that's a representation
Speaker 1: for you? Are you finish?
Speaker 8: Definitely?
Speaker 13: Uh, that's just based on who this team is and
Speaker 13: who this organization is before us, before we even got here.
Speaker 13: So we just trying to keep that brand of football
Speaker 13: going and every week just playing to our level, playing
Speaker 13: to our standard and not letting anybody just get any easy,
Speaker 13: cheap things. You know, they gonna have to work for
Speaker 13: every single thing when they come up in here.
Speaker 1: You guys don't shot away from any of that stuff.
Speaker 1: Do you think that kind of sets tone on game
Speaker 1: days about who you want to be and what you
Speaker 1: want to accompliment.
Speaker 13: Definitely, we feel like everybody gonna come through us no
Speaker 13: matter who it is. Obviously, they were a great team
Speaker 13: doing great things, and you gotta get credit winnings do
Speaker 13: like I said, but they have played us, so that's
Speaker 13: what the whole thing was just trying to prove today.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Patrick Quin. We also had a chance
Speaker 1: to talk with safety Gino Stone, who came up with
Speaker 1: his fourth interception on the season, which leads the NFL.
Speaker 15: What do you think the key is for kind of
Speaker 15: having this performance every week as the season goes along.
Speaker 9: You know, it's just the fundamentals and the preparation we
Speaker 9: have each week. You know, you gotta get back to
Speaker 9: work Monday, I mean Tuesday, want to get back in
Speaker 9: the building and you just get ready, you know, get
Speaker 9: put ready to put another performance on next week in Arizona.
Speaker 9: So you know, stacking days, stacking each week. You know,
Speaker 9: that's a big thing so sweet? I sweet.
Speaker 13: You want to do talk for the London trip about
Speaker 13: how the Ravens were react.
Speaker 7: You guys went over there, got the win game back here,
Speaker 7: had maybe the best guys think in some ways able
Speaker 7: to that trip.
Speaker 5: Did sum up what you got.
Speaker 9: A little bit? You know, I feelt we had a
Speaker 9: lot of team bonding over there. A lot of guys
Speaker 9: go together things like that. We spent a whole week
Speaker 9: over it in foreign country all together, so you get
Speaker 9: the bond, and I feel like we're all get ready
Speaker 9: to step in the right right direction.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 9: I felt the offense starting to click, defense is clicking,
Speaker 9: special teams getting on the way. So I feel like
Speaker 9: we're just we're just ready to start her outs.
Speaker 4: You guys beat a good team by a big margin
Speaker 4: and just listening to lamar Our Andrews pretty soft spoken
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: What is the mindset do you celebrate or what is
Speaker 3: the favor?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I mean you want to enjoy wins.
Speaker 9: It's hard to get wins in the NFL, so you
Speaker 9: always want to join the wins. By the end of
Speaker 9: the day, you know, we gotta get ready to go
Speaker 9: back to work. You know, we're playing another NFL team,
Speaker 9: next week. You know that wins don't come by easy
Speaker 9: this league, so you know, get ready to go to
Speaker 9: work and the day is what it is. You know
Speaker 9: the lines were a good team, but it's on.
Speaker 8: To the next opponent.
Speaker 14: What's the feeling amongst the team on the sideline or
Speaker 14: on the field, Like the confidence level when you guys
Speaker 14: are are are clicking like that on offense and then defense.
Speaker 8: I mean you just up and down.
Speaker 14: So what's the what's the confidence of for you guys?
Speaker 8: What's the feeling?
Speaker 9: No, conference level was high, but at the same time,
Speaker 9: you know, you know it's the league. The league is.
Speaker 9: You know, we got exposive offense everywhere, so defensive mindset,
Speaker 9: you want to go out there and keep doing it
Speaker 9: every snap, every every series because you know you don't
Speaker 9: want to give up because you know the teams come
Speaker 9: back in this league a lot. So I know you
Speaker 9: you're confident a lot what you're doing, but at the
Speaker 9: same time, you want to be able to walk.
Speaker 1: In That was safety Geno Stone. We also talked with
Speaker 1: left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Stanley had a great game, held
Speaker 1: up really well both in past protection and run protection
Speaker 1: and helped pave the way for Lamar Jackson's first touchdown
Speaker 1: of the game.
Speaker 15: You know, we're not worried about you know, to talk
Speaker 15: about the teams that we play. We're just trying to
Speaker 15: play to our potential and trying to be the best
Speaker 15: team we can be.
Speaker 1: Ronnie, take me through that touchdown block.
Speaker 15: You know, Uh, I just knew Lamar is behind me,
Speaker 15: and you know, I know, uh my boy Marsha Jana
Speaker 15: was here and I was thinking to myself, Well, what
Speaker 15: Marshall do in this situation is trying to channel my
Speaker 15: inner marchiando on that is that kind.
Speaker 1: Of a play, Like when that play was called, did
Speaker 1: you expect to be in that situation when you're one
Speaker 1: on one with a.
Speaker 15: Guy in space like that? Yeah, I I I knew that,
Speaker 15: Uh I was gonna be blocking someone one on one,
Speaker 15: so just you know, trying to do my job and
Speaker 15: uh ended up being a touchdown.
Speaker 10: So all talk about the red zend struggles from last week.
Speaker 10: To finish that drive off, the first drive fourth and one,
Speaker 10: you guys go for it, finish that off.
Speaker 8: How big a deal was that? Oh?
Speaker 15: It was a huge deal, you know, especially being our
Speaker 15: first drive of the game and you'll be able to
Speaker 15: cap that off with a touchdown and gave us a great, great,
Speaker 15: uh great start, and uh that was something that we
Speaker 15: really got to build on throughout the game.
Speaker 8: Proudie, I have Morgan's that there's like a it's a
Speaker 8: lot of fun playing for.
Speaker 12: A Monk because he's responsive as a coach, like takes
Speaker 12: in consideration what you guys like I think, excuse you
Speaker 12: kind of why I right.
Speaker 8: That and what it maybe leads to any game like this.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I love Monk and you know, just as approach
Speaker 15: to the game and the accountability has to to himself
Speaker 15: and to us. You know, he'll never point the finger
Speaker 15: at us. He's always you know, thinking about what he
Speaker 15: can do better, put some better position, and you know,
Speaker 15: to play for a guy like that, it is, you know,
Speaker 15: it's a blessing. And you know, I'm very happy, you know,
Speaker 15: cause he's always in there trying to trying to dial
Speaker 15: up things and make make us better.
Speaker 12: Part said it was a little PG thirteen after you
Speaker 12: got to the game ball most games.
Speaker 15: Was it just self deprecating or oh no, I mean
Speaker 15: Monk just likes to cuss a lot. But we're we're
Speaker 15: used to that, so it's all it's all good.
Speaker 1: I mean, you see a lot of great games from
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. You know, what did you think of this
Speaker 1: game today?
Speaker 15: Terms of how how go out in? He looks, Uh,
Speaker 15: Lamar's been focused all season. You know, he's locked in.
Speaker 15: He's he's not satisfied. He's been playing great and you
Speaker 15: know he won't be satisfied until we get a Super Bowl.
Speaker 15: So I know what I'm getting in my quarterback.
Speaker 3: Focus.
Speaker 15: You know, you guys had the game with all the
Speaker 15: drops and then with the Redds Trumps.
Speaker 3: We're just talking about what was the mood of this
Speaker 3: team coming into this.
Speaker 1: Game against you know, the team.
Speaker 15: That was right that, Uh, we just wanted to focus
Speaker 15: on ourselves and like I said, play to our potential.
Speaker 15: And you know, we know we were playing a good team.
Speaker 15: But I think when we put the folks on ourselves
Speaker 15: and we play to our potential, you know, like I said,
Speaker 15: I think we're an elite offense and I think we
Speaker 15: showed it today. But you know, like I said, Monk
Speaker 15: always says not yet. So no matter what happens, you know,
Speaker 15: we're never never there yet.
Speaker 3: Ronnie, help me through you with how the offensive line
Speaker 3: is coming together.
Speaker 12: Knowing you guys have had some injuries and guys in
Speaker 12: and out of the line up just coming together.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 15: I mean, guys have been baltaning through injuries all year
Speaker 15: and I'm very happy with you know, how guys are
Speaker 15: playing through them and how physical guys are playing. We're
Speaker 15: talking to each other. We have a lot of good
Speaker 15: chemistry and you know that's something that we're only going
Speaker 15: to build on and progress.
Speaker 1: There was a lot made about the London rivid challenges
Speaker 1: of it, but in some ways do you think that
Speaker 1: trip helped you as a team.
Speaker 15: Yeah, I do think that trip helped, you know, to
Speaker 15: be able to be there for a week, you know,
Speaker 15: kind of be you know, our hotel is kind of
Speaker 15: out of the way, there's not a lot of technology,
Speaker 15: so you know, we just kind of build some camaraderie
Speaker 15: and more chemistry. And you know, you come back and
Speaker 15: you have you know, everything at your disposal. You know,
Speaker 15: you feel a little bit rejuvenated and you feel like,
Speaker 15: you know, we have a lot, we have a lot
Speaker 15: at hand, and I know, guys, you know, came back
Speaker 15: maybe a little tired, but we bounced back real quick,
Speaker 15: got on our schedule and you know, just kept moving forward.
Speaker 8: The past protection was outstanding. Moore had a number of
Speaker 8: times in all day.
Speaker 10: What was it that kind of came together today that
Speaker 10: you guys hope so well?
Speaker 15: You know, I just think it's just going in every week,
Speaker 15: every day, just working on our technique, you know, always
Speaker 15: trying to get better and everything satisfied. And we knew
Speaker 15: that we needed to get better our offensive line. You know,
Speaker 15: give him a little more more time SOLIDI find the
Speaker 15: pocket more and you know, we went to work and
Speaker 15: doing that, and you know that's something we're going to
Speaker 15: continue to do and get better at as well.
