Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens took
Speaker 1: down the Pittsburgh Steelers twenty eight to fourteen in the
Speaker 1: Wildcard Round at M and T Banks Stadium. This was
Speaker 1: a big time win for the Ravens, who will now
Speaker 1: advance to the Divisional Round after taking and down their
Speaker 1: division arrival. After the game, we heard from head coach
Speaker 1: John Harbaugh.
Speaker 2: All Right, appreciate everybody being here and appreciate the opportunity
Speaker 2: to to just be a part of something like this.
Speaker 3: You know, it's something more grateful for.
Speaker 2: And I think you guys have earned the chance to
Speaker 2: playing a big game like this against our arch rival
Speaker 2: and to play the way they did. Just so proud
Speaker 2: of I'm so proud of what they did. I think
Speaker 2: they came out and they understood how to win a
Speaker 2: football game like this.
Speaker 3: They knew how to win it. It's one thing to
Speaker 3: know it, it's another thing to execute it and do it.
Speaker 3: And they did it. And I'm proud of those guys
Speaker 3: for that.
Speaker 2: What question do you have, John, I know your old
Speaker 2: school coach, keep down.
Speaker 4: How would you kind of prolish of winning a game
Speaker 4: kind of like this.
Speaker 5: With one the ground the way you did.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad's proud. Jack Carbo's proud right now. You know,
Speaker 2: he likes he likes to pound the rock. And that's
Speaker 2: what we did. I mean, Derek Henry was running hard, hard, physical.
Speaker 2: Lamar started it off. I mean Lamar carried the ball
Speaker 2: at different times in the first Driver too. I mean
Speaker 2: you get backed up to talk about good t shirt good,
Speaker 2: you know, and talk about having faith. You know, the
Speaker 2: little punt gets bobbled, whatever, they get the ball, We
Speaker 2: get the ball to five yard line and we go
Speaker 2: ninety five yards for a touchdown.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 2: You know, whatever adversity your face with, find a way
Speaker 2: to overcome it. And did it with execution. They did
Speaker 2: it with physicality. They did it by playing one play
Speaker 2: at a time, by being poised and uh and just
Speaker 2: understand it. It's gonna be a long game. It's gonna
Speaker 2: be a lot of plays, you know, and let's let's
Speaker 2: try to put as many good plays together as we could.
Speaker 2: I think it just kind of kept it that simple.
Speaker 2: So yeah, the Running Game, The Running Game makes it possible.
Speaker 7: I know, you have an appreciation for what Lamar does
Speaker 7: as much as anyone. You see more of him than anyone,
Speaker 7: But does he does he teach you anything new about
Speaker 7: himself with a game like this, like you said, starting
Speaker 7: open with a bunch of physical run and then just
Speaker 7: doing what he did without his say flowers.
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, you know, I think about Lamar.
Speaker 2: I guess the thing that I continue to be amazed
Speaker 2: with just who he is as a person, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, of course, how the plays he makes, and
Speaker 2: how tough he is. I mean, I mean just you
Speaker 2: can't get over about how tough he is, how physically
Speaker 2: tough he is, how mentally tough he is. You know,
Speaker 2: he's in there running the ball, he's getting hit, and
Speaker 2: he's taking shots, and he's you know, he gets back
Speaker 2: up and then he steps up and makes a play,
Speaker 2: runs around and throws a touchdown pass. I mean, that's
Speaker 2: that play at the end of the half. That's what
Speaker 2: we call trigger, and that's basically you hit it or
Speaker 2: you dirt it, or you throw it out of the
Speaker 2: back of the end zone, you know, and he runs
Speaker 2: around and finds a touchdown pass. And I think, I
Speaker 2: just think in his head, he he knows what eleven
Speaker 2: seconds is. The clock was going a little faster for
Speaker 2: me in my mind, you know, I'm like, he throw
Speaker 2: that thing away. You know, he threw it. It was a touchdown.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like all he can say is wow.
Speaker 2: I think I said wow about seven times right there.
Speaker 2: So you know, glory, glory to God.
Speaker 3: For that one.
Speaker 7: John Early in the game, you go to play where
Speaker 7: he takes a direct snap, fakes the suite to Jackson,
Speaker 7: he takes off on a huge game. Has that play
Speaker 7: been in the book all year?
Speaker 8: Did you put it in this weekend?
Speaker 9: What would you say broadly about Todd Molkin's game tonight?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just I feel like Todd did
Speaker 2: a great job. He called the game really well. Uh,
Speaker 2: he was patient, and but he also had some we
Speaker 2: had We had a few play actions dialed up and
Speaker 2: things like that. We had some things we didn't get
Speaker 2: to too because you were running the ball so well.
Speaker 2: But that was a play we put in this week
Speaker 2: to play.
Speaker 3: That went in. Uh.
Speaker 2: And uh, you know it's a little bit off the
Speaker 2: Tennessee play that they ran against us last year, remember
Speaker 2: in London, So it was kind of off of that play.
Speaker 2: It's kind of the idea of it. I just just
Speaker 2: set it up a little bit differently. But I think
Speaker 2: the whole offensive staff is doing a great job. Travis
Speaker 2: Sweitzer was you know, coordinates the run game. George, George Warhap,
Speaker 2: George gotsee Willie Taggart does a great job with that.
Speaker 2: I mean, Julu's got those guys blocking out there in
Speaker 2: the perimeter. It's just a team effort.
Speaker 4: Only your first thirty two plays, you guys have twenty
Speaker 4: four rush of the time. So is that the plan
Speaker 4: or is that something gotten old throughout the first time?
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I consider pertained that twenty four and thirty
Speaker 2: two as a plan. You know, there's a lot of
Speaker 2: people out there real happy about that though.
Speaker 6: Right now.
Speaker 2: And when you can do that, you want to do it,
Speaker 2: you know, and that's pretty pretty awesome. That's kind of mean,
Speaker 2: you know, to one thing about Todd I appreciate and
Speaker 2: and it's really all of our coaches. I think those
Speaker 2: guys are are great unit together. But whatever it takes,
Speaker 2: you know, we don't have to do it one certain
Speaker 2: kind of way. We don't have a particular you know,
Speaker 2: back system that where we're not like the West Coast
Speaker 2: system or something like that.
Speaker 3: We're just the Ravens system.
Speaker 2: You know, what's the best offense that we can put
Speaker 2: together for our players, you know at this time, and
Speaker 2: they do a great job of that.
Speaker 10: If you are so fortimula though, I mean running the football,
Speaker 10: stopping the run this time of year.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean absolutely, Jerry. I mean that's that's
Speaker 2: that's a big part of the for him. And it's football.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like Jeremies is talking about it. This
Speaker 2: is Jack harball man. It goes back as that's as
Speaker 2: old as football. And it's kind of the Ravens way too.
Speaker 2: I think if you look back and look at Baltimore,
Speaker 2: you know, since two thousand, they were throwing the ball
Speaker 2: out first three years, but every year after that it's
Speaker 2: been it's been it's been run defense, special teams. But
Speaker 2: Lamar's had a little he's had a little little flavored
Speaker 2: to that whole thing, hadn't he you know, And we're
Speaker 2: throwing the ball well too.
Speaker 9: So Josh feel this was a signature game for your
Speaker 9: offensive line as well. I mean, we know the talent
Speaker 9: on the other side of the wall.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: So, I mean that that's a you know, that's a
Speaker 2: really good football team. That's a very physical defense, that's
Speaker 2: a tough defensive line. Their linebackers are down here and
Speaker 2: we know Patrick Roberts is a great player. Their guys
Speaker 2: on the edge are just a nightmare to deal with.
Speaker 2: They were crashing the ends off the edge was very physical,
Speaker 2: and we were able to control the edges for the
Speaker 2: run game as much as anything. And how about our
Speaker 2: tackles in the pass game. It wasn't like we were
Speaker 2: chipping all the time when we were passing, and I
Speaker 2: thought our tackles did a great job. You know, their
Speaker 2: offense came in the second half. You know, they made
Speaker 2: some plays. Now, they hit us on three third downs
Speaker 2: that you know, they found the weakness and the coverage
Speaker 2: and we didn't play it quite perfectly. We got to
Speaker 2: chase perfection and play those things a little better. But
Speaker 2: they made those plays. And then I mean those throws
Speaker 2: up the sideline, they were just great throws and great catches.
Speaker 2: You know, those were well covered plays and they were
Speaker 2: they made him that's a really good football team and
Speaker 2: that's a it's a really good win for us.
Speaker 11: Talked about you know earlier and that we talked about
Speaker 11: how you sometimes it was too hyped or too antsy
Speaker 11: in these games, in these playoff games. What have you
Speaker 11: seen from him that's been different? In that regard because
Speaker 11: he I mean, he looked very much obviously in control against.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like he's kind of been that way
Speaker 2: all year, But but he is, he is very much
Speaker 2: in control. It's probably a great way to say he's
Speaker 2: he's got a great hand on the game plan. But
Speaker 2: I think when the when the play starts, he's just
Speaker 2: he's seeing things. You know, he's he's he's uh, he's
Speaker 2: got a good grasp of the coverage. He sees the coverage.
Speaker 2: I think he keeps it kind of simple in terms
Speaker 2: of what he's looking for. You know, he studies a
Speaker 2: lot of tape and just seeing it field really well.
Speaker 10: John, you may mentioned of Pittsburghs making the plays they
Speaker 10: did when they had that ninety eight yard touchdown drive.
Speaker 8: How impressed were you with the offense?
Speaker 10: I think Lamar was even sacked on that first down play.
Speaker 10: But you score a touchdown in four plays, I mean
Speaker 10: they had to be demoralizing for them trying.
Speaker 8: To get that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you talking about two minute drive.
Speaker 10: No, no, in the third quarter when when they went
Speaker 10: ninety eight yards and then you guys score a touchdown
Speaker 10: on four plays?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The answer, Yeah, I mean I
Speaker 2: didn't expect it. I mean, I didn't expect you know,
Speaker 2: he kind of trying to figure out you no math
Speaker 2: in your head, and what do we need to do?
Speaker 2: And then our offense just marches right down the field
Speaker 2: and you Lamar drives it, and the guys made plays.
Speaker 2: I mean, how about Tyland Wallace made a play, you know,
Speaker 2: to convert that was we were second in first twenty
Speaker 2: second and twenty you know, and then and Lamar finds him.
Speaker 3: He sees the.
Speaker 2: Field like Brian's talking about, and Tyler gets open and
Speaker 2: makes the play, and Lamar put Dotson right there and
Speaker 2: he gets up a field. Just guys are making plays.
Speaker 2: Bait had a few huge plays. Mark had some big plays.
Speaker 2: Isaiah likely early in the game, you know where he
Speaker 2: swung the ball like that and I was screaming to
Speaker 2: put it away. You know, guys got more yards, got
Speaker 2: out of bounds. I mean, just everybody's kind of stepping up.
Speaker 2: It's just it's a real team effort.
Speaker 5: Tell me so that there were captain patches on the
Speaker 5: raymis Jersey. Believe it's the first time you've done that.
Speaker 5: Team history went into that decision, and for the six
Speaker 5: specific guys that you picked for that.
Speaker 3: Look went into them right.
Speaker 2: Well, for the guys we picked, it was a team
Speaker 2: vote and uh and uh and there and then we
Speaker 2: also have two we had two game captains, which was
Speaker 2: Tyler and Kyle this week, and the idea was, you know,
Speaker 2: these guys, I think our leadership has been really It's
Speaker 2: not that it's been great every year, but this year
Speaker 2: the leadership has been really outstanding.
Speaker 3: It's been really something.
Speaker 2: I think they've been locked in in a real kind
Speaker 2: of special way, and it was just an opportunity to
Speaker 2: acknowledge that. Probably I kind of wanted to put the
Speaker 2: patch on Lamar for sure, and Rokwan and some other guys.
Speaker 2: You know, Mark guys you got but they all got
Speaker 2: the votes, and we decided to go ahead and do it.
Speaker 3: And I think it's well deserved.
Speaker 12: Today the Broncos beat the Bills.
Speaker 8: You have a home game here next week. Do you
Speaker 8: do you get involved.
Speaker 3: In in that or do you just, oh, you've been
Speaker 3: root for him?
Speaker 2: You know, I can always root for a home game,
Speaker 2: And I think it bears note in the Our fans
Speaker 2: tonight were unbelievable and our stadium was incredible.
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a fun stadium.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I took a moment a couple
Speaker 2: times to kind of look around and see what was
Speaker 2: going on. I mean, the lights come out. You notice
Speaker 2: that right when they put the lights out, and.
Speaker 3: That ray Lewis comes out of the end zone and
Speaker 3: does the dance. I mean I heard the song.
Speaker 2: I'm like, it kind of sounds familiar, you know, here
Speaker 2: and here it comes right out of the tunnel. And
Speaker 2: I just think our fans were just really right on point.
Speaker 2: It was loud out there. It was hard for them
Speaker 2: to communicate when they started chating. Then v P where
Speaker 2: we were trying to close the game out, you know.
Speaker 2: But uh but then uh, once we closed the game out,
Speaker 2: they got it going again. It was our Our fans
Speaker 2: were phenomenal. So if that happens and they get an opportunity
Speaker 2: to do it again, that'd be great.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 3: If not, we'll go to Buffalo and and we'll be
Speaker 3: ready to play. All right, Thanks, thank you.
Speaker 1: Next, we heard from quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 11: Mark, how did it feel to beat the Steelers kind
Speaker 11: of in that really kind of physical fashion out there?
Speaker 13: Uh?
Speaker 14: I it, to be honest, it's really not about it still,
Speaker 14: as you know, it's just I was just winning in
Speaker 14: the playoffs, so it's just a it's just great to win.
Speaker 13: Lamar hitting the back.
Speaker 8: On one of the plays and getting treatment.
Speaker 9: Uh, how'd be back and how did it effect you
Speaker 9: doing the game?
Speaker 13: I'm good.
Speaker 14: Uh, it really didn't fit me at all, to be
Speaker 14: honest with you, just.
Speaker 13: A little gnad, but I'm good. Nothing to worry about.
Speaker 8: Did you wrap it where you take get on it
Speaker 8: and stuff during.
Speaker 13: The game, Yeah, I was rapping with heat Pat, Yeah.
Speaker 5: L Mar.
Speaker 10: How about the game plans away?
Speaker 15: You guys were able to just run the ball down
Speaker 15: their throats for four quarters.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 14: That shout out to the Austin line, you know, shout
Speaker 14: out to travel with the game plan s and Derek.
Speaker 14: Can't take nothing away from Derek and he's just that guy.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 14: Off the line got great penetration, kept kept blocking those guys,
Speaker 14: great defense in front, great linebackers. What our guys were
Speaker 14: just hunger, you know, Uh, we know what's at state
Speaker 14: for us, and they got it done, got a job done.
Speaker 5: When why were you surprised by the way that the
Speaker 5: Steelers defense was playing the Reid option players that they
Speaker 5: were just having their line backer dive in and go
Speaker 5: after her your whatever your running back was, and they
Speaker 5: were just allowing you to kind of keep it on
Speaker 5: the outside.
Speaker 14: What was the kind of your thoughts on that They
Speaker 14: really wasn't uh letting me keep it outside. Uh, they
Speaker 14: had a guy they were squeeze scraping. They had a
Speaker 14: guy running for Derek and a guy wrapping around for me.
Speaker 14: But we just playing football. You know, sometime as you win,
Speaker 14: sometimes you're losing. Those guys had opportunities whatever Wan what
Speaker 14: he won. We had opportunities what we won. You know,
Speaker 14: so just cat and mouse game, are you?
Speaker 7: You said earlier sometimes when the playoff games passed, you.
Speaker 12: Felt antsy at the start of 'em.
Speaker 7: You look pretty controlled out there, obviously, get out to
Speaker 7: a twenty one nothing lead. I mean, was there anything
Speaker 7: different for you in your prep or or early in
Speaker 7: the game that help you guys execute.
Speaker 8: The way you wanted?
Speaker 14: I mean you just aksed me an answered it kind
Speaker 14: of the same. But nah, you know, uh, I was
Speaker 14: just chilled. You know, I wasn't I'm not not gonna
Speaker 14: I was eager throughout the whole week like it need
Speaker 14: to hurry up and become Saturday. Like, But you know
Speaker 14: when the day came. I was just cool throughout the day.
Speaker 14: I didn't get on the phone. I didn't wanna talk.
Speaker 14: My mom called me. I said, I wanna talk like like,
Speaker 14: you know, no disrespect, never disrespect. But I don't wanna
Speaker 14: talk like I'm just ready for the game, like let
Speaker 14: me get to the game.
Speaker 13: I want to play around smile like no.
Speaker 14: It was just that type of thing, and that's what
Speaker 14: it's gonna be every each and every time.
Speaker 10: More.
Speaker 16: Wh I saw the act couple times when you get
Speaker 16: off Derek you were able to off the side to
Speaker 16: actually watch him run.
Speaker 8: What what is what's it like to when you're on
Speaker 8: the field seeing Derrick Henry run like that?
Speaker 14: It looked like a movie club, like you know when
Speaker 14: like i'm'a give f M cars.
Speaker 13: You watch the movie Cars a little bit too order
Speaker 13: to watch cars. But anyway, for kids, y'alls. And I
Speaker 13: was a kid when I watched kid. I was a
Speaker 13: kid when I watched cars. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 14: But yeah, M you know when uh when uh light
Speaker 14: and McQueen just flying flashing past, and then it's like
Speaker 14: that's how Derek looked when he was running pass and.
Speaker 13: All those guys just it look, it looked like a movie.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 14: I'm not gonna lie to you, but so I'd rather
Speaker 14: be watching it than being on the oppositide of the ball.
Speaker 13: I know that no more hardly think.
Speaker 7: It does for the confidence of the offense to have
Speaker 7: such a sharp day offensively in the playoff game.
Speaker 14: It means we need to do that each and every time.
Speaker 14: You know, great preparation, great practicing. Gods just locked down
Speaker 14: uh as when to go home mentality, and our guys
Speaker 14: just showing that each and every down. You know, at
Speaker 14: least one play at the time. Things didn't go out
Speaker 14: a way all the time out there. You know, we
Speaker 14: y'all stop had penalties, had to get s we got
Speaker 14: we lost yards like five ten yards sometimes, but our
Speaker 14: guys just stayed with it. And that's that what happens
Speaker 14: in playoff games. You gotta just stay locked in your carry.
Speaker 4: The ball as many times as you did that, especially in.
Speaker 6: The early portion of the game.
Speaker 14: To be honest, I I wasn't you know, but it's football.
Speaker 14: You never know what had happened during the game, so
Speaker 14: you just gotta be prepared.
Speaker 12: Lamar.
Speaker 11: You talked about how this season, how they having Derek
Speaker 11: has made your job easier when you have him in
Speaker 11: these playoff environments, in these types of games, when he
Speaker 11: can sort of do what he he did out there tonight,
Speaker 11: how would you describe that.
Speaker 13: I don't I really don't know.
Speaker 14: It's I believe it's just self explanatory, like that guy
Speaker 14: is just a record.
Speaker 13: That guy just a god.
Speaker 14: Like I don't know, I can't find the word to say,
Speaker 14: man like I believe everyone sees it, like I can
Speaker 14: just hand the ball off he ten yards, twenty yards,
Speaker 14: thirty yards and I'm just chilling, you know. So now
Speaker 14: when they attack and him, then I go and it's like,
Speaker 14: I'm I'm fresh, you know, just making my job a
Speaker 14: lot easier.
Speaker 8: We just pick it back off of each other.
Speaker 7: Light nam M queen, Then which car are you? M?
Speaker 14: No, I didn't say he was like the McQueen. I said,
Speaker 14: it's light watching light to McQueen, he just flashing past.
Speaker 14: I'm no car man, I'm just chilling watching the show.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 7: Lamar So saw many of these games with the Steelers specifically,
Speaker 7: have have swung on turnovers and uh, you know, it's
Speaker 7: been one of the criticisms of your performance in the playoffs.
Speaker 7: How do you feel about not giving them the opportunities
Speaker 7: and and you know being strong on the on the
Speaker 7: turnover front.
Speaker 13: Well, that's just something we preached.
Speaker 14: Uh we preached that the second time we played 'em,
Speaker 14: you know, cause we played 'em f earlier this year
Speaker 14: when we played 'em in Pittsburgh, we had the fumbles interception.
Speaker 14: You know, it's like those guys got in the momentum
Speaker 14: and they putting points on the board, field goals here
Speaker 14: and there, and it's like our momentum just died. So
Speaker 14: going into the next the second game we played him,
Speaker 14: it's like, we don't turn the ball over. We got
Speaker 14: a chance, you know, and we did that. We had
Speaker 14: a chance the first time. On the second time tonight,
Speaker 14: same thing. Don't turn the ball over, keep the ball
Speaker 14: in our possession.
Speaker 13: We did that. See the results O Mark tonight.
Speaker 17: You guys talk about say being out how you hut
Speaker 17: you wasn't for everyone?
Speaker 11: All the weapons are office to step up today.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's see the Sam's time.
Speaker 3: And why we got to do it too.
Speaker 14: I mean some guys were just waiting the opportunity to
Speaker 14: get out there and show the rail where they capable of.
Speaker 14: You know, some guys been here a long time. Uh
Speaker 14: Taling you know he's been here for a while, got
Speaker 14: there and made some splash plays for us. Uh kept
Speaker 14: the job going. Ah a critical second and long like
Speaker 14: second and twenty. That was crazy and Ti Tyland caught
Speaker 14: the ball, got yacked, you know that was great for him.
Speaker 13: Got Anthony Miller.
Speaker 14: Getting in, uh catching Crutcher, Uh first downs, making things happen,
Speaker 14: getting A's closer if it's third and or whatever. You know,
Speaker 14: our got Just and Steven Sims, you know, got in
Speaker 14: and had that long run. Gods just wanna play, and
Speaker 14: god just wanna win. And if you over here, you
Speaker 14: better wanna win. You know, would you if you.
Speaker 4: Amount of boxing stuff you guys run and how many
Speaker 4: times you got from the ball you guys ever studied
Speaker 4: film of White Service Cabinet School's Army leaving.
Speaker 13: Air Force FA Uh, well, I don't know.
Speaker 14: Uh talk to Trive about that. That's our run game coordinator,
Speaker 14: So you gotta talk to Trive.
Speaker 3: I don't dar you.
Speaker 12: You're gonna be rooted for the Broncos.
Speaker 3: And how do you feel about nobody?
Speaker 6: How do you feel about put.
Speaker 12: On the road if if the Broncos don't win.
Speaker 14: I'm not room for nobody. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 14: We've been on the rule all season. You know, we
Speaker 14: we ready. I believe our guys ready, but it starts Monday.
Speaker 14: We don't know who we playing right.
Speaker 1: Now, podium. We also heard from defensive lineman Now I'm
Speaker 1: the Matabik who had a pair of sacks in the wind?
Speaker 15: What was the life watching Lamar and go motion on
Speaker 15: that play that ended up with wildcat run to Derreck ran.
Speaker 13: This is a Lamar due.
Speaker 18: I've seen the multiple times and practice and just to
Speaker 18: see in the game that's when everybody sees it.
Speaker 12: In live motion.
Speaker 18: It's just just amazing. Just great quarterback and got my
Speaker 18: size in.
Speaker 9: Terms of law chained to this whole playoff run. Was
Speaker 9: it very important to you guys, not just to win,
Speaker 9: but to play well and be doctable?
Speaker 18: Yeah, for sure. In the locker room, we was just
Speaker 18: talking about, like on defense, like start fast, like start
Speaker 18: real fast, like pull with them early. You know, I
Speaker 18: feel like that's what we did in the first half.
Speaker 18: And you know, in the second half was just about finishing,
Speaker 18: just finishing, and you know they caught you know, some
Speaker 18: moon balls here and there, but I feel like we
Speaker 18: finished round the.
Speaker 5: End, I'll be speaking about that first half was dominant
Speaker 5: just to very statistical bash cause what really transpired on
Speaker 5: those couple of successions that were different from the other
Speaker 5: ones that we were successful.
Speaker 18: On, Uh, everybody just doing their job, you know, people
Speaker 18: making plays, doctor making plays, m M me G. Going
Speaker 18: in there and being disruptive. You know, everybody just doing
Speaker 18: their thing, doing the one to eleven. And I feel
Speaker 18: like everybody just came together at the end and we
Speaker 18: got to do now due.
Speaker 12: How would you give sact yourself and fast rush at
Speaker 12: Ford Sat?
Speaker 8: How important think it is?
Speaker 13: Would you guys to continue that pressure off.
Speaker 18: Quarterbacks and huge especially the playoffs, you know, stopping the
Speaker 18: offensive momentum, you know, keep keeping them off of you know,
Speaker 18: their schedule, you know, and just being disruptive every play.
Speaker 18: That's just the goal and that's what we're trying to do.
Speaker 11: How would you describe the ascension the defense has been
Speaker 11: on the second half of the season and your level
Speaker 11: of confidence at this point in the year.
Speaker 8: They're just trusting the guys in the locker room.
Speaker 18: You know, there's a lot of people giving us flat
Speaker 18: earlier in the year, and you know, it's just about
Speaker 18: us at the end of the day, we told each
Speaker 18: other that it's about us. So we you know, we
Speaker 18: made some corrections, you know what I mean, and people
Speaker 18: start playing a high level and we're just just getting
Speaker 18: on the row. We're just gonna keep going and start
Speaker 18: some practice one day.
Speaker 19: So good.
Speaker 1: In locker room today we heard from a running back
Speaker 1: Derek Henry, who scored a pair of touchdowns and really
Speaker 1: was the driver of this offense.
Speaker 8: You know, football as a whole team win the game
Speaker 8: for you guys in the ground.
Speaker 5: The team almost threat keep dealing early on you gutu
Speaker 5: get doing the.
Speaker 8: Check something like that. He look, I told you on
Speaker 8: the phone phone doing my job, which you never played.
Speaker 6: Credits at offne really great job tight ends, Sis fell
Speaker 6: back blocking for me and all to have.
Speaker 7: Sis doesn't have to say what doesn't saying about this
Speaker 7: offense that you guys are or something like that.
Speaker 8: You got what'd you say about the offense?
Speaker 6: We gotta make this stuffs bads me give credit.
Speaker 8: I say give credit the guys.
Speaker 6: That bad man and.
Speaker 1: Early this game, Lamar playing was running a lot. How
Speaker 1: did that affect things? Or baby open up holes and
Speaker 1: attract some of the defense in his directions.
Speaker 6: I just think Lamar was seeing it. We were doing
Speaker 6: a great job of up pulling and making plays and
Speaker 6: getting the most out of out of the play got
Speaker 6: into the.
Speaker 8: Great John blocking.
Speaker 6: But for it to open up and you know, well
Speaker 6: it does that week with a weak out so to
Speaker 6: the great job?
Speaker 3: How much?
Speaker 12: How much do long touchdown around you kind of thumping your.
Speaker 6: Chest and see the fans after that walk round, just
Speaker 6: talk about the environment and what you saw. I mean,
Speaker 6: that's nothing, I'm shot is expected, you know, don hard fans,
Speaker 6: great fans on best fans in the league, best fans
Speaker 6: in the league. As a packed out house.
Speaker 13: There showing love back to the fans.
Speaker 6: They brought that intense energy and they were allowed and
Speaker 6: they were locked in.
Speaker 12: My guess all I said, whether work.
Speaker 6: It seems like guys kind of want to talk to
Speaker 6: their loves where you gotta play, whether it's cold or
Speaker 6: I'm down one hundred and sixty degrees, you gotta play
Speaker 6: so they don't undue whether it's cold, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 7: What did you see from Lamar in prep for this week,
Speaker 7: especially with the playoff states on line and how he
Speaker 7: started that game?
Speaker 20: What do you mean what I see for them just
Speaker 20: like in terms of his prep on his intensity, this
Speaker 20: approach is the same. I was like, you know, it's
Speaker 20: at states. Like I said, you know, one week each
Speaker 20: and every week. So we're gonna focus on what we
Speaker 20: need to do to EXEQ on all three phases play
Speaker 20: coming with football to.
Speaker 6: Give ourselves a chance to be the want that He's
Speaker 6: gonna do what he does each and every day a practice.
Speaker 6: So he shows up a day danger you wouldn't even
Speaker 6: at times he didn't.
Speaker 11: Defenders went to the long you all carrier, guy who.
Speaker 13: Didn't didn't have the falls were.
Speaker 11: How difficult does that mean?
Speaker 8: How difficult does that make you.
Speaker 6: Know, trying to defend you? Yeah? I mean when I
Speaker 6: get too ahead of ourselves and throw off the walls
Speaker 6: about how great we are, stay level headed, enjoy enjoyed
Speaker 6: this one your film, so we can get better at
Speaker 6: technical then move on to the next one.

Speaker 21: come in here today and win a playoff game.
Speaker 8: Now with this team, how much did today mean to
Speaker 8: you to be a part of it?
Speaker 6: We said when the playoff game, like, I ain't want
Speaker 6: none proby.
Speaker 8: Specifically with the Ravens.
Speaker 6: No, it's a great team win, you know, especially it's
Speaker 6: a division opponent. You know how impartments right ways such as.
Speaker 12: Organization and the battles they had throughout the year.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I was playing playing the third time. You know,
Speaker 6: it's always gonna be tough, but hands out everybody on
Speaker 6: the team to execute teammates and thin coach SI gets heated.
Speaker 10: Derek, what did it mean to you to be voted
Speaker 10: one of the captain patches that you guys did this week?
Speaker 3: Pet in your first year in your.
Speaker 8: Team, you guys think, Yeah, I was a little shock.
Speaker 6: I voted for Lamar and Mark and I definitely appreciate
Speaker 6: my teammates for you know, seeing me as somebody.
Speaker 8: As a leader the capital.
Speaker 6: He's seen me in my first year. That's all I
Speaker 6: want to do. When I came and Sorr, he just
Speaker 6: heard my teammates respect. I really appreciate the tun.
Speaker 1: We also heard from tight end Isaiah likely.
Speaker 22: Say y' all the time his post his vocus will
Speaker 22: get shot more, I mean and That's how he preached it.
Speaker 22: He don't care how it looks on at that ship.
Speaker 8: As long as there's a w in that come.
Speaker 7: He said he didn't want to talk anything to day.
Speaker 7: It wasn't taking a phone calls you. He's any different
Speaker 7: conduct from him today than the other playoffs.
Speaker 22: Really just you know that the tunnel vision is just
Speaker 22: you know, understand that we got for him. You know,
Speaker 22: we're gonna celebrate this win. You know today said watch
Speaker 22: it tomorrow, and then you know, went on to whoever
Speaker 22: we got just Steppe ut out the same comps and
Speaker 22: the years and Mark you know, you's to the team
Speaker 22: Steppe up in the offense, she had every now to
Speaker 22: get the team next year. I mean that, you know,
Speaker 22: that's what you want the offense.
Speaker 8: You wanted him.
Speaker 22: You know how your playmakers make plays, I mean days,
Speaker 22: you know, a great affort to our offense. You know,
Speaker 22: one of the most supposed to players we have, really
Speaker 22: one of the most supposed plays in the league.
Speaker 8: But I tell everybody all the.
Speaker 22: Time, like you don't never know where in the FoST
Speaker 22: play's gonna come by the offense.
Speaker 8: And I feel like, you know that feels it.
Speaker 3: Today, you guys are the number one regis on team
Speaker 3: in the league.
Speaker 8: You guys were three for three today.
Speaker 12: Can you talk about what you do good in that?
Speaker 3: Getting that jone?
Speaker 19: Uh?
Speaker 22: Having d h Lamar in the backfield and then I mean,
Speaker 22: I feel like that just makes everybody on the perimeter's
Speaker 22: job easy when you know the defensive focused on you know,
Speaker 22: Derek in the backfield Lamar being able to keep it
Speaker 22: making both players whether it's uh run or pass, and
Speaker 22: then you know having them, you know, seeing the best
Speaker 22: looks to get it open.
Speaker 12: What's your advantage point when Derek Havin breaks away or.
Speaker 1: What plus yards on that play?
Speaker 19: Oh?
Speaker 22: You if you ever watched me on film, when I
Speaker 22: ever see Dereck Henry brike, I always put my hand
Speaker 22: up like I cause I'm assuming it's a touchdown. So
Speaker 22: like then in my mind, I'd be like, ah, he
Speaker 22: got alright, let me go head back to the huddle,
Speaker 22: cause I'm already looking sideline seeing if the field go
Speaker 22: leaduon is coming on?
Speaker 21: And how about Famarea.
Speaker 7: Jackson extending that play which went to jumps fout what
Speaker 7: she told us.
Speaker 1: And you a proud what would you get in at?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 22: That just shows you you know that a two playuarterback.
Speaker 22: I mean he shows your MVP MV three for real
Speaker 22: who he is every every snap, every down, you know,
Speaker 22: whether you know that's the difference between three and seven,
Speaker 22: and I feel like when you have a mom back there,
Speaker 22: you're gonna get seven, nine, ten, ten out of ten times.
Speaker 7: Has there been a recipient on a lot of those
Speaker 7: plays that Justice he'll scored on where it just feels
Speaker 7: like the play is going on forever.
Speaker 13: What's kind of your mentality as a receiver when Lamar
Speaker 13: just feels like he's running back around back there forever.
Speaker 8: I really just try to get his attention.
Speaker 22: I mean, obviously trying to get open at eye contact
Speaker 22: with your quarterback and really just understand that you know,
Speaker 22: the play is not over to l's on the ground
Speaker 22: and I haven't seen nobody that's been able to get
Speaker 22: him when on one back there. So really just you know,
Speaker 22: always trying to remain open and really just try to,
Speaker 22: you know, make a play for him.
Speaker 1: So that Dragon wasn't really looking like any clearly looking
Speaker 1: to early in the game, he was running a lot,
Speaker 1: you know, out of that kind of accept the tone
Speaker 1: for the offense.
Speaker 22: Team and at it showed them that you know they're
Speaker 22: gonna have to play him as well. I mean, you're
Speaker 22: not only gonna have to focus on uh DH back
Speaker 22: there in the backfield that you're gonna have to account
Speaker 22: for eight. And he showed them like he wasn't gonna slide.
Speaker 22: He was going to take as much contact and take
Speaker 22: as much yards as they were gonna give him.
Speaker 7: Also, that drive before the half, it seemed like it
Speaker 7: wasn't going where it then Steelers called the timeout.
Speaker 8: Did that influence you, guys?
Speaker 7: Does that make you feel like, hey, we got to
Speaker 7: make something out of this once a Steelers started calling timeouts.
Speaker 8: And then we get the ball back.
Speaker 22: I mean, the whole objective every time the officers out
Speaker 22: there is to score points. I mean I feel like,
Speaker 22: you know, having them call time out, you know, we
Speaker 22: got good rest, we got good you know, breathers for everybody.
Speaker 22: You know, we were able to get a good play
Speaker 22: call in and really.
Speaker 8: Just go from there with the mentality into education out.
Speaker 22: I say, just be one to know. I mean that's
Speaker 22: the same aspect that we have every week. Never obviously
Speaker 22: like try to make a game more than what it is,
Speaker 22: but understand that the main objective is to you want
Speaker 22: to know.
Speaker 8: Be where your feet are and show your talent.
Speaker 15: When when Todd's and a, I guess in a groove
Speaker 15: calling place for you guys, what is that like in
Speaker 15: the huddle when they're coming in and like a thirteen play,
Speaker 15: thirteen run drive that type of thing like when he's
Speaker 15: in his band kind of calm.
Speaker 8: Place for you.
Speaker 15: How does that field I guess for you guys.
Speaker 22: As an all times, I mean it's just great momentum.
Speaker 22: I mean you see the offense having fun. I mean
Speaker 22: whether it's run or pass, I mean, it just gives
Speaker 22: the defense.
Speaker 8: An option to never be right.
Speaker 22: And I feel like that's just you know, kudos to him,
Speaker 22: and then the offense are really just executing the plays.
Speaker 1: Next, we heard from center Tyler Linderbaum, who had a
Speaker 1: huge role in establishing this dominant ground game.
Speaker 5: Let's say just the physical.
Speaker 23: Yeah, just proud of the part of the guys, proud
Speaker 23: of the unit, proud of the backs, proud of them
Speaker 23: are you know O line And you know that was
Speaker 23: we knew they were going to try to come in
Speaker 23: and stop the run, especially after last game, and just
Speaker 23: proud of the guys to just continue to stay after it,
Speaker 23: you know, keep moving forward and you know those two
Speaker 23: fourteen play drives.
Speaker 12: In the in the first first half. We're critical and
Speaker 12: kind of set the temple right away with how we
Speaker 12: wanted to play this game. It's proud of you guys
Speaker 12: take an offensive line.
Speaker 8: To have those kinds of drives to a ten moving
Speaker 8: guys in that for ways.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's a that's alignment's dream right there, being efficient
Speaker 12: moving ball forward and having those long drives because we
Speaker 12: want them to get as tired as possible, you know
Speaker 12: when it gets to that third and fourth quarter, but
Speaker 12: we can really start running ball. So just proudly the guys.
Speaker 12: Could you feel in getting tired, No, I didn't. You know,
Speaker 12: they're great, They're great. You know, they got great players.
Speaker 12: I think anytime you you run the ball that effectively,
Speaker 12: you know it's gonna work. Yeah, we got the best
Speaker 12: you know, we got the best job in the world,
Speaker 12: you know, blocking for Lamar and Derrick Henrys. So just
Speaker 12: proud of these guys, proud of the team, proud of
Speaker 12: what we're able to accomplish today. But you know we
Speaker 12: got we got a little time to enjoy this and
Speaker 12: you work past them next week. I'm excited to see
Speaker 12: who's playing.
Speaker 13: Your guys.
Speaker 21: Rushing yards total today, I think it's either seventh or
Speaker 21: eighth most in a playoff game in NFL history for
Speaker 21: any team.
Speaker 12: And when you hear something like that, what does.
Speaker 8: That mean to you? Guys?
Speaker 12: Yes, it's you know, just proud of the guys to
Speaker 12: do it against a team like that.
Speaker 8: You know, just just speaks volumes.
Speaker 12: And you know how we're prepared this week, how the
Speaker 12: coach prepared, how you know, how we took on the check,
Speaker 12: should be able to you know, run the ball because
Speaker 12: we know they were trying to stop the run. So
Speaker 12: just just overall proud of the guys, and you know,
Speaker 12: moving on to next week.
Speaker 21: And in terms of the emotions right now, how much
Speaker 21: of it is, yes we won, we want a game
Speaker 21: in the playoffs, and how much of it.
Speaker 12: Is this isn't the ultimate goaling? Yeah, I mean, shoot,
Speaker 12: you gotta take one one game out of time. You
Speaker 12: want to know, We want to know, and we've got
Speaker 12: next week we gotta go want to know again. So
Speaker 12: just gotta keep moving forward, and you know, we gotta
Speaker 12: prepare butts off this week for whoever we're playing. We
Speaker 12: know it's gonna be a good team. But it's a
Speaker 12: good start. Take us into a thirteen play drive where
Speaker 12: you go to the huddle each time and you're running
Speaker 12: it every time down to kind of that feel like
Speaker 12: for an one. Yeah, just kind of set the tempo
Speaker 12: right away. You know what what kind of game we
Speaker 12: want it to be. You know, credit to the backs,
Speaker 12: you know, credit to the rest of bill Lion tight
Speaker 12: ends and receivers for balking. You know, it takes everyone
Speaker 12: to have a especially have a have a rushing day
Speaker 12: like this. It's it's not just one or two single.
Speaker 8: People.
Speaker 12: It's it's it's a whole unit.
Speaker 15: What's said in the huddle during a thirteen straight run
Speaker 15: dry just.
Speaker 12: Keep yeah, just keep moving ball forward. Men keep wearing
Speaker 12: them down. And I mean the fore tired they're they're
Speaker 12: even more tired.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 8: So that was kind of our mentality.
Speaker 1: That's a picture of this offense. But going into this
Speaker 1: game was running as much part of the game players.
Speaker 1: It kind of what they gave you, what was working.
Speaker 12: Shoot, you know, just I think you know, whenever we
Speaker 12: come in the game, if we can run the ball
Speaker 12: like that, you know, that's our we want that to
Speaker 12: be a kind of our game plan. But you know,
Speaker 12: whatever the defense gives us. You know, they certainly try
Speaker 12: to stop the run, and you know stopped us. Had
Speaker 12: a few you know drives weak you know, couldn't convert.
Speaker 12: But at the end of the day, you know, just
Speaker 12: proud of the guys, proud of what we're.
Speaker 8: Able to do.
Speaker 12: And I guess a good defense like that, you know,
Speaker 12: just speaks volumes of everyone in the job that they.
Speaker 8: Did their day.
Speaker 12: How much of it just Derek Henry is just different.
Speaker 12: I mean, the things he's able to do, you know,
Speaker 12: and like we said, those long drives, like he wears
Speaker 12: on people. He's a tough guy to take down, fast,
Speaker 12: physical running back. And I was just saying, we got
Speaker 12: the best job in the world blocking for Derek Henry
Speaker 12: and Lamar Jackson. So it'd be a it'd be a
Speaker 12: discredit to go out there and not try to block
Speaker 12: as hard as we can for for guys like that post.
Speaker 17: Game about going ahead into the division around and.
Speaker 12: Not knowing who playing yet. Yeah, I mean, just enjoy
Speaker 12: this one. But you know, we gotta we got a
Speaker 12: bigger picture of mine, you know, I want to know
Speaker 12: each week, you know, we're at that point in the
Speaker 12: season to where you know, keep moving on, keep winning that.
Speaker 1: Game does just flow of the game you're able to wonder.
Speaker 8: Ye, it's huge.
Speaker 12: Like I said, is credit to everyone doing their jobs,
Speaker 12: you know, being physical. You know, just proud of the
Speaker 12: guys that'd be able to do that. And you know,
Speaker 12: I mean three hundred yards rushing that's hard. That's hard
Speaker 12: to come by, especially you know with the defense like that.
Speaker 8: So just part of the guys.
Speaker 1: This is kind of a mentality thing, you know, as
Speaker 1: an offensive line to be able to go up there's
Speaker 1: your rival, really physical defense to go and we have
Speaker 1: that gun perform.
Speaker 12: Yeah, it's got to be. I mean, they know what
Speaker 12: we're trying to do. We know we're trying to get done.
Speaker 12: And we talked all week it's a rock fight, so
Speaker 12: it's gonna be a physical, physical game and I think
Speaker 12: we saw that and you know, just just proud of
Speaker 12: the guys how we responded, how we prepared this week,
Speaker 12: and how we came out and performed.
Speaker 5: Given what the you know conversation was with you guys
Speaker 5: and the Steelers losing seven of eight like a month
Speaker 5: ago and now beating them and winning today, does that
Speaker 5: kind of make this any sweeter?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean any you know, anytime you get it,
Speaker 12: and we played them twice it was one one, you know,
Speaker 12: so this is, you know, the rubber match. So excited,
Speaker 12: excited to get this win. It's a good it's a good,
Speaker 12: well coached group, and you know, we're just gonna enjoy
Speaker 12: this one and then see who we got tomorrow and
Speaker 12: then start planning for them.
Speaker 8: Would be walking tomorrow. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah, so excited.
Speaker 1: We also heard from veteran linebacker Rokwan Smith.
Speaker 19: See uh weighs anything compared to what a lot of
Speaker 19: individuals on this team has been through in their life,
Speaker 19: not just football. So I think when you just and
Speaker 19: then at the adversity we faced throughout this season, early
Speaker 19: on in the season with the crities and different things
Speaker 19: like that, but at the end of the day, it's
Speaker 19: all noise and it's about.
Speaker 8: Adversity and pressure.
Speaker 19: Pressure the burst pipes will make diamonds, and like I said,
Speaker 19: last year went the diamond making business.
Speaker 8: So we're on our way and we just getting started to.
Speaker 22: Take out the Steelers twice, not only for the AFC
Speaker 22: North knock around for good for the season coming in.
Speaker 8: All we heard about is eight of nine they.
Speaker 19: Had won the court, you guys on this last Yeah,
Speaker 19: and all that is is top and the game is
Speaker 19: played for a reason and it's very simple. I think
Speaker 19: I remember my guy Peeky saying it was I think
Speaker 19: the last time we played was a hat and T shirt.
Speaker 19: But I guess he'd get a T shirt he got
Speaker 19: on and he'll be in cowboy somewhere, but he still
Speaker 19: might got much love.
Speaker 16: Ray was here and Helloi and Trell sucks in a
Speaker 16: lot of ways to you just kind of feel like
Speaker 16: a vintage Raven's performance with what you did offensively on
Speaker 16: the ground and how aggressive you guys were on defense.
Speaker 19: Absolutely, I feel like a lot of respect for those guys.
Speaker 19: Seeing Ray out there, man, that turned me up. And
Speaker 19: then Helloi at the at the corn toss, it was
Speaker 19: pretty awesome just seeing him, told him much respect, got
Speaker 19: a lot of respect, which I got to play behind
Speaker 19: a guy like him, but got a lot of beasts
Speaker 19: in front of me as well though, And yeah, it
Speaker 19: was it was pretty sweet, just you know, seeing those
Speaker 19: guys out there, and that's what it's about in the playoffs,
Speaker 19: playing tough, stingy defense.
Speaker 8: Obviously they got a couple.
Speaker 19: Of plays with like back and then just being able
Speaker 19: to run the ball. And when you can do that,
Speaker 19: you impose your will on another man. And it's just like, hey,
Speaker 19: I'm doing this, you gotta take it. And that's what
Speaker 19: it was tough for the third time. They have to
Speaker 19: show different disguises for a third time.
Speaker 8: It's not that tough.
Speaker 19: At the end of the day, it's very simple. Is
Speaker 19: they know what we're gonna do. We know what they're
Speaker 19: gonna do. It's about made the best man win. Mone
Speaker 19: no mon no, Hey, I'm doing this.
Speaker 8: You stop it. You're doing this, I'm gonna stop it.
Speaker 8: And that's what it is. It's just that Sai and
Speaker 8: hey showed that today. How much do you like to
Speaker 8: see the offense that?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 8: I love to see that. You know.
Speaker 19: I got a lot of respect for d Hen what
Speaker 19: he's done throughout his career, and then this year, man,
Speaker 19: I think he's just getting started. And then what Lamar
Speaker 19: is able to do as well through the air or
Speaker 19: on the ground like you pick your paws, and so
Speaker 19: got a lot of respect for those guys. And then
Speaker 19: the old line those guys leaving leading away. So we're
Speaker 19: just getting started, man. This is an appetize to what
Speaker 19: we got on the menu.
Speaker 5: This is the first time I believed in Frinchs's history
Speaker 5: that the teams had captain Badgers on their jerseys, the
Speaker 5: first six to ever received that.
Speaker 7: Just what did that mean to you?
Speaker 5: And for your teammates to be the ones that voted
Speaker 5: for you to be one of those six?
Speaker 8: Yeah, man, that's that's that's an honor, truth be told.
Speaker 19: And like you know, to have your teammate your peers
Speaker 19: view you as a captain and a guy as a
Speaker 19: leader and stuff.
Speaker 8: So it's big time. I got a lot of respect
Speaker 8: for the guys.
Speaker 19: And I'll never sell the guy's shorts and always lay
Speaker 19: it on the line for those guys despite not just
Speaker 19: talk but actually go out and do it. And so
Speaker 19: when you're a guy like that, guys tend to follow
Speaker 19: and guys get behind you. But that's what it's all about,
Speaker 19: you know. And there's a lot of other leaders in
Speaker 19: here as well, despite the six that were named or
Speaker 19: what to see on their chests, but there's a lot
Speaker 19: of other really good captains and really good leaders on
Speaker 19: this team.
Speaker 8: So but I'm grateful for that. And you know, we're
Speaker 8: just getting started.
Speaker 5: That this is the leadership on this team this year.
Speaker 5: Is just more unique than make it in seasons pass.
Speaker 5: But what if you thought about that, what do you
Speaker 5: think is different or amplified with this team and the
Speaker 5: leadership that it hasn't walked room?
Speaker 19: Yeah, No, leadership is what it's all about. There's a
