Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast.
Speaker 2: The Ravens improved to eleven and three on Sunday with
Speaker 2: a prime time win.
Speaker 1: Over the Jacksonville Jywars.
Speaker 2: The Ravens took down the Jags twenty three to seven,
Speaker 2: and they punched their ticket to the postseason. The Ravens
Speaker 2: maintained their top spot in the AFC and became the
Speaker 2: first team in the AFC to secure a playoff. Bit Now,
Speaker 2: it was an all hands on deck effort, but Lamar
Speaker 2: Jackson delivered an iconic performance. He showed just about everybody
Speaker 2: while he remains in that MVP conversation. Lamar finished the
Speaker 2: game with just under one hundred yards on the ground.
Speaker 2: He also completed fourteen to twenty four passes for one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy one yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: But he was remarkable throughout the game.
Speaker 2: He was avoiding tacklers and finding guys down the field,
Speaker 2: delivering some iconic plays like a big play touchdown to
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely and then also another scrambling.
Speaker 1: Play where he hit Likely down the field.
Speaker 2: It was a depressive showing for Lamar and head coach
Speaker 2: John Harball talked after the game about the win and
Speaker 2: what it means for this team.
Speaker 3: Okay, appreciate everybody being here. Thank you late night with
Speaker 3: a great outcome for the Ravens. Really proud of our guys,
Speaker 3: I mean, coming here. Very good football team, very well
Speaker 3: coached team that played well. Kind of a playoff type
Speaker 3: environment that we were in. The place was rocking, man,
Speaker 3: it was loud, it was full. It was a night
Speaker 3: game here. I'm I think it might have been the
Speaker 3: first Sunday night game here in a while. And they
Speaker 3: were into it. Their team was into it, and we
Speaker 3: had to play a really good football game, a playoff
Speaker 3: style football game to win. That's kind of how it
Speaker 3: played out, that kind of a football game, which we expected.
Speaker 3: So proud of our guys for the win. A lot
Speaker 3: of guys played really well. Of course, there's things we
Speaker 3: can do better, but that's a big win. So we'll
Speaker 3: get a day or two and then we'll be onto
Speaker 3: San Francisco. We do have some injury announcements. Keaton is
Speaker 3: going to be a serious injury, knee injury, so it
Speaker 3: looks like he won't be back for the rest of
Speaker 3: the season. Marcus is going to be kind of day
Speaker 3: to day probably, we'll see. We'll know more tomorrow, but
Speaker 3: that looks like it would probably.
Speaker 4: Be day to day. Is everybody else.
Speaker 3: Ronnie Ronnie think will be okay? Do those guys be
Speaker 3: looked at concussion wise? We'll see how that how that
Speaker 3: plays out? What questions Jeff.
Speaker 4: John Uh, you said last week that you know Lamar
Speaker 4: played that game as well as you know, what do
Speaker 4: you say about this correct this week?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 6: And so he gave Amar Lamar Jackson the game ball.
Speaker 4: Every single game.
Speaker 3: You know, he wouldn't take him, you know, he's he
Speaker 3: wouldn't know everywhere to put him in his.
Speaker 4: House, you know, many game balls.
Speaker 3: But that's the way he plays, you know, that's that's
Speaker 3: that's uh just I think I've said it before. I
Speaker 3: believe he's the best quarterback in the National Football League.
Speaker 3: I've said it many times before, and uh and he
Speaker 3: continues to prove it. He proves me right, you know,
Speaker 3: he proves he's Uh, He's just he took the game
Speaker 3: over in so many different ways, all the different ways
Speaker 3: he does it, but some tips, spectacular throws. Handled the game.
Speaker 3: We had a lot of no huddle stuff. We had
Speaker 3: a lot of plays at the line we were switching
Speaker 3: to and calling and changing around and getting we had
Speaker 3: a lot of motions and shifts they had to deal with.
Speaker 3: And then the play clock comes in the factor. There
Speaker 3: nobody's better handling the play clock than Lamar Jackson managing
Speaker 3: the game, but also uh making the plays. So just
Speaker 3: very proud of 'em obviously, John.
Speaker 7: Over the years, do you develop any sort of uh
Speaker 7: are are you kind of experiencing the thrill ride of
Speaker 7: seeing Lamar you know, escape from the pocket or kind
Speaker 7: of make it the duke and and sort of there's
Speaker 7: this element where he's kind of always close to the
Speaker 7: danger or kind of escaping the danger. Do you develop
Speaker 7: sort of resistance of that or you kind.
Speaker 4: Of go up along for the ride for us?
Speaker 3: You know, I I just think you just it's simply
Speaker 3: have it gets a player's game, you know. And as
Speaker 3: a coach, you know, coaches get get a lot of
Speaker 3: credit sometimes for things that they really don't do, you know.
Speaker 3: And if if you're if you're a good coach, you
Speaker 3: you build your your your system and your plays and
Speaker 3: your schemes and and uh and everything your operation basically
Speaker 3: around your players. Players are the guys out there playing
Speaker 3: the game. We have a great football player Lamar Jackson
Speaker 3: and not just Lamar, so many guys just like that
Speaker 3: that you try to build it around. So before smart
Speaker 3: we we build. We tried to build our offense in
Speaker 3: a way that Lamar can thrive in it as best
Speaker 3: we can best we can figure out, you know, and
Speaker 3: he's a big part of that. He's involved in all
Speaker 3: the game planning every single week, you know, and has
Speaker 3: input and helps decide those plays. So but you know what,
Speaker 3: he's out there just playing the game, and that's what
Speaker 3: the game is. You go out there and you play
Speaker 3: the game like that.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you rush for over two hundred yards, I believe
Speaker 8: the second half is that kind of is a difference
Speaker 8: and really getting.
Speaker 3: Me run game ranks up two hundred and four, as
Speaker 3: it was pointed out to me in the locker room,
Speaker 3: and I think two fifty one overall. I think we
Speaker 3: just kind of kept coming it, you know, and after
Speaker 3: a while it had its impact. You know, our guys
Speaker 3: were blocking really well, backs were running really well, and
Speaker 3: Lamar had had a number of yards as well, so,
Speaker 3: uh yeah, that was a big factor in the fourth
Speaker 3: quarter too. We had a bunch of yards maybe one
Speaker 3: hundred and fourth quarter or something like that, so it
Speaker 3: was it was good.
Speaker 7: By the way, John, your team actually clinched a playoff
Speaker 7: the broth.
Speaker 3: We didn't know that. We didn't know that. Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: we're very grateful. We're very excited about that. And that's
Speaker 3: the first step. That's our starting point goal, you know,
Speaker 3: and then go from there.
Speaker 9: Jacksonville kind of had these moments, especially at the end
Speaker 9: of the first half where they runt of time and
Speaker 9: I think there was another play where you guys kind
Speaker 9: of quick snapped it and got them with twelve minute
Speaker 9: on the field. What do you make up your guys
Speaker 9: as poise in some of those moments as there was
Speaker 9: a lot of chaos and being able to take.
Speaker 4: Advantage both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3: You know, Margan and the office doing a great job
Speaker 3: substitutions and that becomes part of the game within the game,
Speaker 3: and Lamar catching them there and getting that penalty, and
Speaker 3: then look at Marcus Williams to play at the end
Speaker 3: of the half. You know, Mike made a great call.
Speaker 3: Marcus makes a great play, tackled their guy run the
Speaker 3: flat run in bounds of play. We had anticipated. It's
Speaker 3: just to play people run that situation and with no
Speaker 3: huddle and Marcus made a great play and that's saved
Speaker 3: us right there at least the field goals. Just a
Speaker 3: fabulous play. And there were other plays like that in
Speaker 3: the game. How about how about Isaiah Likely, I mean
Speaker 3: the catches that he made, you know, how about how
Speaker 3: about Arthur Molette, you know, getting that fumble early in
Speaker 3: the game and really turning the momentum.
Speaker 4: A little bit.
Speaker 3: So you know, they got some yards in the first half,
Speaker 3: but we made plays we need to make to keep
Speaker 3: them on of the end zone.
Speaker 8: The plan right now, Melvin Gordon up on the roster,
Speaker 8: is it? You know, is that what you foresee yourself doing?
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, we'll bring Melvin up. He's he's been working
Speaker 3: super hard. He's in great shape, and he'll be ready
Speaker 3: to go.
Speaker 4: How difficult, I mean, Heaton was just starting to get up.
Speaker 4: I mean, for him to suffer that injury, you know,
Speaker 4: how how difficulty you think it's.
Speaker 3: Gonna be hark you know, I mean, he's he's the
Speaker 3: guy that I was just in there. We were just
Speaker 3: in there, you know, and we were talking and we prayed,
Speaker 3: and he's just got a great attitude and demeanor about him.
Speaker 3: And you know, it's a guy that she wants to
Speaker 3: do well, he deserves to do well, and just feel
Speaker 3: first parents right now, you know they're watching and they're
Speaker 3: sure they're feeling it too.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 11: There's been a lot of hype around this next game
Speaker 11: against the forty nine ers that does the fourth the
Speaker 11: twenty four hour rules to apply to you know, this
Speaker 11: team and kind of handling the noise that's going to
Speaker 11: be coming its way when you guys get talk to Baltimore.
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, that's how these guys are. These guys are
Speaker 3: gonna thinking about one thing, think about the next game.
Speaker 3: You know, want to know has been there mantra. You
Speaker 3: know Lamar talked about it before the season ever started
Speaker 3: and it's not gonna change.
Speaker 1: That was head coach John Harbor. We was to talk
Speaker 1: with quarterback Lamar Jackson, Mark, you can.
Speaker 12: You talk about the play when you kind of skating
Speaker 12: sack and then through the long high sase and likely
Speaker 12: just kind of what you saw in that play in
Speaker 12: for Isaiah go up and and make that play in
Speaker 12: that situation.
Speaker 6: Well yeah, uh, these gonna quarters, they end up the
Speaker 6: quarters on me.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 14: We had verts I'm going little stick nods and uh uh,
Speaker 14: I don't know if it was ninety one. I wanna
Speaker 14: say it right side. You know, he just made a
Speaker 14: good play, you know, beat our guy, and I just
Speaker 14: had to make a play, make something happen. And I
Speaker 14: seen likely if I I I believe if he wasn't
Speaker 14: so free, I likely would have scored cause I already
Speaker 14: seen him. But I couldn't throw it cause ninety one
Speaker 14: rushing and I don't wanna have a phone would happen.
Speaker 14: So now I just made something happen, and I seen him,
Speaker 14: I see thirty one flying under I'm like, ruh, If
Speaker 14: I try to drive it, he's gonna be in axception.
Speaker 14: And I already threw one, so I'm I was pissed off.
Speaker 14: So it's like, just get likely a shot. You know
Speaker 14: he I know he can jump a little, so it's like,
Speaker 14: you get I'm a shot and he made a play.
Speaker 4: Great play.
Speaker 7: Your heads when you're dropping back and your face pressure
Speaker 7: and you're ducking under people, scrambling all the whole scramboard park.
Speaker 4: What gets to your head?
Speaker 6: Uh, make something happen, Make a positive play.
Speaker 14: You know, I'm not tryna get sacked, but I'm also
Speaker 14: trying to keep the ball safe at the same time,
Speaker 14: that's the most important thing.
Speaker 6: We were playing offense and points.
Speaker 14: So we were dropping the ball down the fields like
Speaker 14: you know, we can't mess up if anything, we can't score,
Speaker 14: you know, Tucker Kicker field goal cup points matter in
Speaker 14: all these games.
Speaker 12: I think people were amazed by the way you're just
Speaker 12: dodging around rushers and and and buying more time, buying
Speaker 12: more time to do you feel calm when that's happening
Speaker 12: all around you, Like, what are your emotions in this one?
Speaker 4: I look him, got be looking cool?
Speaker 14: Run nah, you know, just keep keeping the level head,
Speaker 14: you know, like I said, I'm not tryna make make
Speaker 14: a mistake. I'm tryna just keep us with positive yards,
Speaker 14: keep us moving, you know. And that's what we had
Speaker 14: to do tonight.
Speaker 4: Last week.
Speaker 15: You kind of I mean throw over three hundred yards
Speaker 15: kind of pass first offensive book this the second half
Speaker 15: to night over two hundred yards and the second half
Speaker 15: of long Did it feel like you're kind of going
Speaker 15: back to the team you used to be?
Speaker 9: Does it feel like this team has gears you can
Speaker 9: kind of shift between.
Speaker 6: I mean they I I I believe they were prepared
Speaker 6: you know for far pass.
Speaker 14: You know, they they rushed the the guys would just rush,
Speaker 14: you know, plugging up the the line and stuff like that.
Speaker 6: So you know, we can't make our reason progress sometimes.
Speaker 6: But I believe we left some players out there on.
Speaker 14: That field, cause, uh, if I to throw a better
Speaker 14: passive bateman than that ends been a touchdown, you know.
Speaker 6: So I'm I'm pissed off about that as well.
Speaker 14: But we got dug, you know, we clached the playoffs,
Speaker 14: so I'm I'm happy a little bit by that.
Speaker 15: You know, when Mark's out there, you're you're as looking
Speaker 15: at out preparing. Do you feel like Isaiah that relationship,
Speaker 15: especially the the.
Speaker 9: Number of catches that he's made in the last three games?
Speaker 4: Do you think he used to be coming that for
Speaker 4: you right now?
Speaker 14: I mean marking likely to different players, you know, but
Speaker 14: both of 'em bring, you know, greatness of the game,
Speaker 14: and uh we already knew it. Uh likely was capable
Speaker 14: of know. But nobody's like Mark, and nobody's like likely it.
Speaker 7: Why were you trying to touch.
Speaker 6: So on your cause?
Speaker 13: How does it feel to.
Speaker 16: Reach that first goal of getting into the playoffs and
Speaker 16: then also having the fast chant in VP as you
Speaker 16: came off the fields?
Speaker 6: Man a man that's first of all found nations in
Speaker 6: the building.
Speaker 14: You know, I I should have been a shout of
Speaker 14: tho the uh, the fans out may they was wanted
Speaker 14: for the night, you know, for us. But you know,
Speaker 14: I didn't know we clinched the playoffs. You know, I'm
Speaker 14: just tryna win. I'm tryna get there. I'm tryna win
Speaker 14: the game at a time, you know. But I'm grateful
Speaker 14: for it. I'm grateful for the opportunity.
Speaker 6: And you're saying every single person on the offense.
Speaker 2: And you step up, see saw a guy of one person?
Speaker 5: Can how have you felt everyone not trust the tight
Speaker 5: guy and step up to for those ob sense?
Speaker 14: Yeah, ah, gods, who you know, we been at those guys.
Speaker 14: You know, we got Bateman and Bateman is that guy.
Speaker 14: You know, we got Old Hell, he's that guys. Hey,
Speaker 14: that guy you know, Net is that guy. We got
Speaker 14: guys who gonna step up.
Speaker 6: They just need the opportunity, that's all.
Speaker 12: Oh, help was it to see he can get down?
Speaker 15: What's kind of the the beat of the team.
Speaker 5: Shit?
Speaker 4: That was?
Speaker 14: That was very tough, you know cause I believe that
Speaker 14: was gonna be a touchdown. You know, he's lights out, man,
Speaker 14: he was just starting to get s. He was just
Speaker 14: starting to get started, you know, so that's that's tough
Speaker 14: to see.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 6: So my pres my thoughts and praiserent with him cause
Speaker 6: he a guy. You know that that was a crazy injury.
Speaker 4: You do one more for one more?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 11: What does it say about this team? I mean, I
Speaker 11: know I obviously seen you weren't happy that's in the place.
Speaker 11: Who left out there? But for you guys leave for
Speaker 11: the double digit victory against the team that was leadingst
Speaker 11: divisions on Sunday night in their place?
Speaker 17: What does it say about this team?
Speaker 14: You know, I believe we just getting started, you know,
Speaker 14: but that was a tough team. You know, that was
Speaker 14: a great team. We just played. You came down play
Speaker 14: what was going on out there on that field, even though,
Speaker 14: like you said, it was double double digit score. But
Speaker 14: that was a tough That was a tough team. You know,
Speaker 14: things just just don't happen like that in the league.
Speaker 14: So you gotta be prepared each and every job, each
Speaker 14: and every place. You gotta stay focusing. I believe both
Speaker 14: teams were alright.
Speaker 4: Thanks for work, Cooch, appreciate y'all.
Speaker 2: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard from linebacker
Speaker 2: Rogue wants Smith.
Speaker 4: Playoffs first, What does that mean for for this team?
Speaker 4: It was a big time.
Speaker 16: You know, that's the vision starting at the beginning of
Speaker 16: the year, winning the vision, Uh, make the playoffs. So uh,
Speaker 16: we're just getting started, man, So we're happy about it,
Speaker 16: but we're not satisfied, you know that.
Speaker 11: You know playoff was it was a winning your n
Speaker 11: type situation or like Lamorrow where you kind of it was.
Speaker 17: Out of sight my mind.
Speaker 16: Pret Well, no, I'm pretty locked in all the time,
Speaker 16: you know, just thinking want to know for each and
Speaker 16: every week. But you know, obviously I have friends and
Speaker 16: family that say things to me like, oh, got you
Speaker 16: guys win?
Speaker 4: You know, you guys are in the playoffs. So I
Speaker 4: hear that.
Speaker 16: But you know it's big time. You know, love being
Speaker 16: the playoffs, but you know that's part of it.
Speaker 4: But we're not done.
Speaker 8: Well.
Speaker 15: You know, Jacks were able to kind of move the
Speaker 15: ball between the twenties, but a lot of those red
Speaker 15: zone sessions, the turnovers, the the stopping.
Speaker 6: Them with eleven run out of clas at the end
Speaker 6: of the half.
Speaker 15: How do you feel like the defense bote up in
Speaker 15: some of those red zone situations today?
Speaker 16: Yeah, man, I think that's what we do then and
Speaker 16: don't break. And the biggest thing in this game, it's
Speaker 16: not yards or anything like that. That's about how many
Speaker 16: points you score, because that's because that's what winning games.
Speaker 16: You can go out there and run for five hundred yards,
Speaker 16: throw for three hundred and then you score three points.
Speaker 4: What good is that?
Speaker 16: You know? So just thinking about it from my perspective,
Speaker 16: us as a defense, we've been don't break. But you know,
Speaker 16: we're just trying to impose our will on people weekend
Speaker 16: and week out. And obviously those guys I heard their
Speaker 16: little model this week was like it takes the bully
Speaker 16: or something like that.
Speaker 4: I overheard that saying they want to be a bully.
Speaker 16: That was that thing this week. So, hey, I guess
Speaker 16: the bully get hit in the mouth sometimes and you know,
Speaker 16: how do they respond? But you know, it's a great
Speaker 16: team win.
Speaker 8: Real corn last year's game, you know, Patrick Queen brought
Speaker 8: it out this week.
Speaker 4: Was that discussed in the meeting.
Speaker 8: Rooms or that kind of sticking your crawl a little bit?
Speaker 4: Knowing how that game went down to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 16: Honestly, mant it didn't have to be discus meeting room
Speaker 16: I think amongst ourselves, each and every guy, including the coaches,
Speaker 16: we knew everything that was at Stan and we knew
Speaker 16: we didn't finish the game last year. But that's a
Speaker 16: whole it's a whole different year than this year and
Speaker 16: whole different team the way we wanted to But like
Speaker 16: for the guys that was on the team, some of us,
Speaker 16: it was definitely personal. So you know, we came in
Speaker 16: to their house and we got the job done.
Speaker 11: I know, when you go to silence, it's a lot
Speaker 11: of times stripp focus on defense and justice things like that.
Speaker 4: Are you able to, like tonight see and Lamar out
Speaker 4: there and how he escapes pressure and things like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: it's it's pretty unique.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 16: I'm like, I'm glad he's on my team. I'll say
Speaker 16: that at least. But some of the things that God do, man,
Speaker 16: he's the only one that's doing it because some of
Speaker 16: the things he get himself out of or get the
Speaker 16: team out of, that just goes to show man. He
Speaker 16: put it on his back, put the city on his back,
Speaker 16: put the team on his back, and say let's go,
Speaker 16: and we're all about it.
Speaker 12: This is not a dk time the sacks record the sacks.
Speaker 9: Shoot you guys kind of celebrate with him in.
Speaker 12: Any way as a defense and just what makes him
Speaker 12: so special as as a rusher.
Speaker 16: Honestly, I had no idea about it and tools in
Speaker 16: the locker room when Harves just mentioned it. But like
Speaker 16: man beaks, we kick it man all during the week.
Speaker 16: The way he worked throughout the week, even out of
Speaker 16: the building. Man, I'm just so proud of the guy.
Speaker 16: God just put his head down, don't really say a lot,
Speaker 16: but bust his tail day in and day out. You
Speaker 16: can't do anything but respect them. And I think the
Speaker 16: guy can do all. If you're running games with him,
Speaker 16: he's elite. If you just want him to rush the pass,
Speaker 16: he can do that.
Speaker 4: Run game.
Speaker 16: The guy can strike blockers, guards, whatever the case may be.
Speaker 16: And he's shredded.
Speaker 4: You ever seen the.
Speaker 5: Guy with his shirt off, got looked like a wild
Speaker 5: I don't like I wish I looked like that, you know,
Speaker 5: but he's Yeah, he's shredded, and I see why he's
Speaker 5: able to do some of the things he do, and
Speaker 5: I'm just proud to be his teammate.
Speaker 4: I talk this week about Kyle him multi's status. Did
Speaker 4: he show you anything this week?
Speaker 8: With his toughness and wanting to make sure that he
Speaker 8: was out on the field today.
Speaker 16: Man, I got the utmost respect for Kyle. That guy's
Speaker 16: a fucking warrior. Like the way he came out there,
Speaker 16: everything he's been going through this season, man, and just
Speaker 16: the way he forgot about it all and just said,
Speaker 16: They'm gonna put it all on the line for us.
Speaker 16: And like, when you think about that, that's like the
Speaker 16: ultimate teammate that you want in the locker room. A
Speaker 16: god is willing to sacrifice himself for the betterment of
Speaker 16: the team, knowing if he was good enough to go,
Speaker 16: he was gonna go.
Speaker 4: And I'm just proud of him. And he's a he's
Speaker 4: a tough guy.
Speaker 16: But you know that's how they raised him down in Georgia.
Speaker 2: In the locker room, we also heard from defensive lineman
Speaker 2: Justin Mattabik, who actually tied an NFL record made Bik
Speaker 2: got his twelfth sack of the season on Sunday, and
Speaker 2: he tied in an NFL record by notching at least
Speaker 2: a half sack in eleven straight games.
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say about that.
Speaker 12: So, just what does it mean to you to make history?
Speaker 10: Tell you I don't think he really hit me yet.
Speaker 10: It feels good. It feels good, especially when we get
Speaker 10: to win with it. But I'm just out there, trust
Speaker 10: I'm trying to make plays how my team win. That's
Speaker 10: just what the bottom line is. When glad both happened,
Speaker 10: we let to win in the plays. But I'll Gordy God. Honestly,
Speaker 10: there's a lot of hard working off season, just a
Speaker 10: lot of sacrifices of being made and just paying off.
Speaker 10: But season ain't over hanging down yet. Uh.
Speaker 12: After the sack on the bench, it looked like you
Speaker 12: were having a lot of laughs with some teammates and
Speaker 12: something like that.
Speaker 1: Can you take us in some of those those conversations.
Speaker 10: Uh, it was a lot of conversations, So I don't
Speaker 10: know which one you want me to talk about, but
Speaker 10: just everybody just congratulating me, just telling me I probably
Speaker 10: am in me and just making plays and stuff like that,
Speaker 10: and I just I just hyped out, man. I was
Speaker 10: just hyped out cause we were winning and people were
Speaker 10: making plays, art myself, Marlowe, b Steve, everybody was making plays,
Speaker 10: so great team went.
Speaker 17: Honestly, what what does this streak feel like for you?
Speaker 4: Emotionally?
Speaker 12: I mean, is it kind of just hard to wrap
Speaker 12: your head around that that you're getting so many sacks
Speaker 12: or what?
Speaker 10: Uh? Kind of But I every every game, I told myself,
Speaker 10: I'm just trying to get back there at least one time,
Speaker 10: and after the one time, I wanna get there out
Speaker 10: again and again and again and again. But uh, you know,
Speaker 10: it's just a lot of her hard work plays off
Speaker 10: and you know I'm not doing it.
Speaker 4: What does it mean for the Ravens?

Speaker 10: lot of guys do different things well, and I just
Speaker 10: try to emulate it and put my little spin on
Speaker 10: it and try to create my own.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Cool, how much that's the fact that you guys are
Speaker 11: about to play the forty nine ers it's gonna be
Speaker 11: primetime games alive.
Speaker 17: That's that's even across the radar orders. It still like
Speaker 17: you said twenty.
Speaker 10: Twenty four, roll like he just said, uh like the
Speaker 10: next game. I don't eve know who we're playing, but yeah,
Speaker 10: for the forty nine ers, Yeah, they're a great They're
Speaker 10: a good team. They've one of the best backs in
Speaker 10: the league, good quarterback. I'm excited for it. I know
Speaker 10: you're excited for it too. It's gonna be a great game.
Speaker 1: That was justin mattabeak it. We also heard from quarterback.
Speaker 18: Look how h help sold just almost seems like from
Speaker 18: everything from getting the extra workout, uh, being the first
Speaker 18: one in, you know, breaking the team down, uh with speeches,
Speaker 18: getting on guys. He told me, hey, bro, you do
Speaker 18: need you to play better, uh this this past week.
Speaker 18: So you know, it's all these things. It's it's been
Speaker 18: really encouraging, you know, to to have you know, he
Speaker 18: gets his big contract and he's really filled all the
Speaker 18: the roles up them from even what he's already done
Speaker 18: his plays. You know, he's he's always gonna step up
Speaker 18: and play. But I think how he's carried himself leadership wise,
Speaker 18: you know, just people see it, and uh, people really
Speaker 18: respect him.
Speaker 1: You've seen him play a lot of times now for
Speaker 1: a long time.
Speaker 10: It does the still ball go.
Speaker 12: Your mind when you see him escape pressure.
Speaker 2: The way he was tonight.
Speaker 4: No, it d it doesn't.
Speaker 18: Uh. I hate to I hate to say that, but uh,
Speaker 18: he's become such a just baller, like this magician that
Speaker 18: it's it's kind of normal now, even though it's it's
Speaker 18: to the fans. Everyone else is probably crazy, but we're
Speaker 18: just like, wow, he just escaped like five people like nice.
Speaker 18: So but I love seeing it.
Speaker 12: Obviously a good player, what does this defensive performance for
Speaker 12: you guys? Obviously you know they love some points out
Speaker 12: there end of.
Speaker 17: Half and all that.
Speaker 1: But to hold a good Jaguars team.
Speaker 10: A good quarterback to seven points, I mean that says something.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it's a lot, it's really big. I think it's hard.
Speaker 18: I think Trevor Lawrence is one of the better quarterbacks.
Speaker 17: In the league.
Speaker 18: To hold them to that was was pretty big. I
Speaker 18: know they had some stuff they left out there, but
Speaker 18: you know, it's kind of thing when because it gets
Speaker 18: a goal line, if you can bow up, you can
Speaker 18: you can have a big success. So hold that team,
Speaker 18: I think we'll give us some good moment. I'm going
Speaker 18: into San France.
Speaker 1: It was quarterback Marlin Humphrey.
Speaker 2: We also talked with tight end Isaiah Likely about his
Speaker 2: big catch and touchdown.
Speaker 1: In this game.
Speaker 15: Be ready, you know when the game come, because it
Speaker 15: did take time to learn how to kind of keep
Speaker 15: moving when Lamar's doing.
Speaker 9: His thing, kind of getting out of the pocket, escaping.
Speaker 13: And yeah, so uh, you know that's just you know, petition, repetition.
Speaker 13: And I felt like, you know, now I got a
Speaker 13: you know, a good idea where he's gonna be most
Speaker 13: of the time, you know, when he's back there being the.
Speaker 17: Maar, do you feel like a players never ever? I
Speaker 17: mean y'all seen it when he threw the ball.
Speaker 13: I didn't even know he broke three tackles before he
Speaker 13: threw the ball before seen the video.
Speaker 17: But you know that's just Lamar. You know, may it
Speaker 17: happened when nothing to Let's go through your head when
Speaker 17: two defenders cause you know, spent your money. Uh, I
Speaker 17: didn't see the one behind me.
Speaker 13: But the golden rules, if you wave your hands trying
Speaker 13: to get the quarterback extension, you got come down with
Speaker 13: the ball.
Speaker 17: So that's definitely what I went through.
Speaker 4: My head, it's two weeks in a row now for
Speaker 4: you get a little more.
Speaker 17: Yeah, you got to maybe.
Speaker 8: What it was the feeling in a hoddle or a
Speaker 8: third quarter and started to get downhill with the runners
Speaker 8: out like you can kind to get treating challenges of
Speaker 8: the yards in the running game, and did you kind
Speaker 8: of get the feeling right they.
Speaker 4: Were kind of breaking them a little bit?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 17: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 13: The the emphasis was really just you know that one
Speaker 13: play mentality. I mean never said like always look at
Speaker 13: a home run shot, and like we knew they were
Speaker 13: a good team. We knew that was gonna take off
Speaker 13: fourth quarter. So really just you know, staying true to
Speaker 13: who he.
Speaker 12: Was and ended up working our favorite you said this week,
Speaker 12: and you wanted to make some of those gritty catches, right,
Speaker 12: those contested catches like Marc has made so many times.
Speaker 12: To make that play near the goal line. What does
Speaker 12: that do for you?
Speaker 13: I mean it just you know, puts trust in Lamar.
Speaker 13: I mean to be able to throw in those type
Speaker 13: windows still and really just be able to still have
Speaker 13: that outlet you know when going to get row.
Speaker 2: That was tight end Isaiah likely. We also talked with
Speaker 2: safety Kyle Hamilton, how important was.
Speaker 12: It for you to play, even given the injury from
Speaker 12: last week?
Speaker 17: How important was it for you to get out there? Yeah?
Speaker 19: I mean my parents always raised me, if you can go, go,
Speaker 19: so I felt like I could go, and throughout the
Speaker 19: week got better, so decent Friday, and then it was
Speaker 19: just up to me whether I felt like Panton's is
Speaker 19: good enough. Went out there before the game, just had
Speaker 19: some pain. It was really just paining doing management throughout
Speaker 19: the game, so you know, adrenaline was going and everything,
Speaker 19: and so feel good.
Speaker 1: I think you had a early maybe first drive and
Speaker 1: brave a screen.
Speaker 7: Was that kind of when you kind of felt like, Okay,
Speaker 7: this pain ain't nothing.
Speaker 19: Or yeah yeah, Maybe first a couple of plays I
Speaker 19: was maybe babing a little bit, But after that I
Speaker 19: think I think I kind of trusted it after that.
Speaker 12: What does means to cutch the playoff spot?
Speaker 17: It's dope.
Speaker 19: I mean the beginning of what we want to do,
Speaker 19: not the end goal obviously, but I think we just
Speaker 19: keep building and we're I don't think we're even close
Speaker 19: to how good we can be. So you know, everybody
Speaker 19: stepping up, injuries, people going down. Uh, it's a team.
Speaker 12: Effort, big big games coming up, you know, obviously forty
Speaker 12: nine Ers and the Dolphins.
Speaker 4: You know, these are.
Speaker 12: Playoff games, right Being a playoff atmosphere like tonight was
Speaker 12: against a very good team to get that wins, does
Speaker 12: that sharpen you for kind of what's ahead.
Speaker 1: In the playoffs?
Speaker 17: Yes and no.
Speaker 19: I mean it's always good getting wins against good teams,
Speaker 19: and that was a good team. At the same time,
Speaker 19: you know, playoffs is different and people we play different.
Speaker 19: In else it's winner go home, so you never know
Speaker 19: who you're gonna get.
Speaker 17: Uh So, I mean we got to be prepared for anybody.
Speaker 8: It seems to be really in total at the end
Speaker 8: of the half when they ran out of the clock
Speaker 8: and after getting.
Speaker 17: A big provision getting all.
Speaker 10: The way down the wall line, what you kind of remember.
Speaker 17: About that and the defensive poison that right then?
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean we was just giving him a big
Speaker 19: play and for us to get lined up, you know,
Speaker 19: bro give us the call and everybody gets set and
Speaker 19: Marcus makes a great tackle on the sideline. Keep the
Speaker 19: clock running, and uh fortunately they ran ran out of
Speaker 19: time and that was a big stop for us going
Speaker 19: to a half time. You know, kept them at I
Speaker 19: think zero at that point going into halftime, and you know,
Speaker 19: that's a good offensive team over there, and I think
Speaker 19: we did a good job overall and still stop to
Speaker 19: improve on though.
Speaker 4: Something.
Speaker 17: Yeah.
Speaker 19: I remember on the sideline just watching him. He had
Speaker 19: a bunch of crazy plays it but one player I
Speaker 19: just leaned over, I think Geno or somebody.
Speaker 17: I was like, I do a special like.
Speaker 19: It's just it's I'm glad we don't have to play
Speaker 19: him because it would be so frustrated the defense. You know,
Speaker 19: you got them bottled up and I don't know where
Speaker 19: he scrambles and dudes back there covering for ten seconds
Speaker 19: and it's hard to do that in this league, and
Speaker 19: guys get the open and making plays. It's just it's
Speaker 19: he provides presents a lot of problems for defenses, and
Speaker 19: I'm glad he's on our team.
