Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens took
Speaker 1: down in the San Francisco forty nine Ers thirty three to
Speaker 1: nineteen on Christmas Night. This was a game to remember
Speaker 1: for the Ravens, a two score victory to continue their
Speaker 1: spot as the first place team in the AFC. This
Speaker 1: was an all hands on deck when everybody got involved
Speaker 1: in the action of Lamar Jackson showed everybody across the
Speaker 1: country in this prime time game that he should be
Speaker 1: the leading candidate in the MVP conversation after the game,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from Lamar, so let's
Speaker 1: kick things off with him.
Speaker 2: Well, Mar, why do you think he placed the walkans
Speaker 2: the NFCA you win up one to watch against a
Speaker 2: team you always.
Speaker 3: I don't even I don't even look at it based
Speaker 3: off divisions or anything like that, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I really don't know.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: We just study, study a lot, a lot of film,
Speaker 3: just playing stuff back, you know, and then as I'm
Speaker 3: watching field, I picture myself out there, you know, in
Speaker 3: the field versus the defense, and I don't know, you know,
Speaker 3: God on our side, our defense, playing lightside, officer of
Speaker 3: the line block and they tail off running backs doing
Speaker 3: what they do. But see what's doing what they do,
Speaker 3: tight ends doing what they do. You know, all phases.
Speaker 3: You know, special teams as well. You know t uh
Speaker 3: Thyland had a great run. I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: While we play good, uh the victor, our record good
Speaker 3: against NFC. Yeah, just prayer keep keep being that way.
Speaker 4: Oh big was a two for you guys to just
Speaker 4: win and mean so much was talking about the Niners
Speaker 4: teating vavors this game.
Speaker 3: You guys, not type things, other problems stuff that you know,
Speaker 3: how kids win. I mean, I really don't care about
Speaker 3: the favorites. You know, that's a great team though you
Speaker 3: don't take anything away from them, you know, defense, offense,
Speaker 3: and special team as well.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: But I I pretty much like it that way, you know,
Speaker 3: just being the underdogs. I don't want people s looking
Speaker 3: at us like, oh we need them to go in
Speaker 3: and do this and that.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: My like playing that's the underdog and I feel like
Speaker 3: we have more success been than we from our Uh.
Speaker 4: John said, this was an MVP like performance for you.
Speaker 4: Right now, you said you didn't really care about those things.
Speaker 1: You you just wanna win.
Speaker 3: Be curious how are you how you.
Speaker 4: Felt about it and that you thought of your Uh yeah,
Speaker 4: what kind.
Speaker 3: Of performance it was for you? S we got the dub.
Speaker 3: You know, I really don't care about the performance. I
Speaker 3: just wanted to win. And that's what happened to night,
Speaker 3: you know, on Christmas. That was my gift, you know.
Speaker 3: Uh uh they aksed me at a interview, uh a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, like want what I want for Christmas?
Speaker 3: And my wish got granted.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 3: Uh, you just need to keep going, keep staying locked in,
Speaker 3: and keep staying focused because you know, we we know
Speaker 3: what it was twenty nineteen, you know, and we was
Speaker 3: playing against guys like this winning games. We win, winning
Speaker 3: regular season games, and when the time came, we didn't
Speaker 3: finish the season. So we just gonna keep taking the
Speaker 3: day at a time, you know, practice at a time,
Speaker 3: in the game at a time. That's all I'm focused
Speaker 3: on right now.
Speaker 4: There are a number of times where you extended plays
Speaker 4: or made plays, you know, at the end of the
Speaker 4: first half there with the long run, the one that
Speaker 4: the drive where.
Speaker 3: You had had your lord for the touchdown.
Speaker 4: What what's going through your mind as you're you know,
Speaker 4: extending and in getting away from defenders and and trying
Speaker 4: to make them play there.
Speaker 3: Uh made something happen. You know, just keep the ball
Speaker 3: in our favor, protect the ball. And that's pretty much
Speaker 3: what we did. Uh. Netie did a great did a
Speaker 3: great move. You know, it's man coverage. Uh, and he
Speaker 3: made a wonderful play, caught the ball, scored line, gave
Speaker 3: me pretty mu uh pretty much a great time. That's
Speaker 3: all it was. Well, what what does it say about
Speaker 3: this team?
Speaker 7: Normally?
Speaker 3: Are you beating the best teams out there? But when
Speaker 3: you're beating a bike.
Speaker 5: Double digits or you know even more than that, what
Speaker 5: does it say by the the margin of victory of
Speaker 5: you're being's good?
Speaker 3: Keep to us? I believe we we we play better
Speaker 3: under pressure.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: We keep our poores.
Speaker 5: Ah.
Speaker 3: We stay locked in no matter how the game may seem,
Speaker 3: no matter what what the crowd noise is, Uh, no
Speaker 3: matter how hard the defense hitting us, cause they you know,
Speaker 3: they're the defense was flying around. You know, gotta get
Speaker 3: credit when credits due. Uh, But we just stay locked in.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't think nobody s play like us.
Speaker 3: We just need to keep keep playing that way, you know,
Speaker 3: keep playing the raven Way and Mark As of offense,
Speaker 3: how big was.
Speaker 4: It to get those those four turn the rigi or
Speaker 4: deem the first half, to get those short peoples.
Speaker 3: Uh, it was very huge for us our defense, like
Speaker 3: you said, you know, got those turner overs. It was
Speaker 3: up to us to uh put points on the board.
Speaker 3: You know, we can't have those turner turnovers and get
Speaker 3: a ball rap back to 'em with no answer, you know,
Speaker 3: to we need points as much as we could with
Speaker 3: that with that high temple offense on fast offense. Uh,
Speaker 3: hats off to our defense, lamar.
Speaker 1: Uh we saw the clip if you walkind of the
Speaker 1: field just talking about uh, Mike for as like.
Speaker 3: For yeah, c cause we're in the NFL. We play ball,
Speaker 3: you know, not to take away from that team, but
Speaker 3: you can't just discredit us. We grown man. We gotta
Speaker 3: feed our family. And he can have his opinion, but
Speaker 3: just don't be just just talking like that. You know,
Speaker 3: that's disrespectful. That's very disrespectful. But no, not to take
Speaker 3: away from the forty nine ers at all, cause like
Speaker 3: they are great all across the board, but we gonna
Speaker 3: come to play as well. You know, our record not
Speaker 3: no fluke, you know, we play ball when we showed that,
Speaker 3: you know, but he just need to just keep doing
Speaker 3: this job. But just don't just come come off like
Speaker 3: that towards us. You know, that's disrespectful. Like I said,
Speaker 3: cause he put him pads on. You know, if he'd
Speaker 3: put in them pass on, I feel like woulda been
Speaker 3: different for him. He wouldn't say that he'll be respectful,
Speaker 3: you know, cause w cause because uh I say that
Speaker 3: to say this. You know, we respectful to our opponents.
Speaker 3: Our opponents was respectful to us. But the guy who
Speaker 3: ant who not even playing against us, just come out
Speaker 3: just you know, just being disrespectful. I guess he wanted
Speaker 3: more views on this on this little channel. We gonna
Speaker 3: leave it at that. Well, what happened on the on
Speaker 3: the stage, like ah ah, the real fail. He failed,
Speaker 3: you know, but he came back in the policize. He
Speaker 3: like my bad. You know, it is all good, it's
Speaker 3: all good. But those two points, those two points helped
Speaker 3: him out a lot.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 3: I I I knew I was gonna get away. I
Speaker 3: know Chase now I was gonna get away too. But
Speaker 3: you know that's pass off to Chase. You know, he
Speaker 3: did what he was supposed to do. Has that ever
Speaker 3: happened to you?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: See, have you ever seen anything like that happened? I
Speaker 3: think a real feeld before in front of me before
Speaker 3: you know, but I got away. So when this happened, Uh,
Speaker 3: oh man, what it is? What it is? You know,
Speaker 3: we live to fight another day. And we did. You know,
Speaker 3: I just did turn it over, give him touchdown or
Speaker 3: rather those two points in our defense just hold on
Speaker 3: like they did for us. And you know we just
Speaker 3: just you know, we just get it back, get the
Speaker 3: ball back and just put points on the board.
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard it from
Speaker 1: head coach John Harp.
Speaker 9: Okay, good to see everybody here. We appreciate it late,
Speaker 9: uh and uh and worth it. Merry Christmas. The Lord
Speaker 9: is with us a Manuel, And I'll tell you that
Speaker 9: our guys played a worthy type of a game. For
Speaker 9: a game like that against an opponent like that, that's
Speaker 9: a very good football team. It's a football team that's
Speaker 9: going far this year. Very physical, very tough team. I
Speaker 9: think if you look at the game we played, it
Speaker 9: was pretty much a complete game by all three phases,
Speaker 9: playing complimentary football together and playing off of each other.
Speaker 3: Special teams had their best game of the year.
Speaker 9: Numerous plays a shortened field position and put us in position,
Speaker 9: and we covered well against a very good return team,
Speaker 9: especially kickoff return team. Offense obviously moved the ball, scored points,
Speaker 9: numerous plays close us out at the end. And then defense,
Speaker 9: I thought just had a spectacular game against one of
Speaker 9: the best, one of the best offenses. There is five turnovers,
Speaker 9: five interceptions, uh uh, pressure on the quarterback pretty much
Speaker 9: all day, and then plastering the scram because I thought
Speaker 9: our guys really worked hard and coverage all day. So
Speaker 9: a lot of things beyond that, but that's the that's
Speaker 9: the highlights. You're very proud of our guys. What question
Speaker 9: do you have, John, you kind of beluved to.
Speaker 3: A little bit. I mean, how much do you think?
Speaker 6: I mean, do you know did you guys feel disrespected
Speaker 6: by you know, not being a consider a favorite, having
Speaker 6: so many people pick against you guys coming.
Speaker 3: In this game.
Speaker 9: You know, I think guys, guys, uh, you know, our
Speaker 9: guys work hard. You know, our guys work hard, and
Speaker 9: they compete hard, and and uh, you know, everybody wants
Speaker 9: to be respected. So but there's one way to to
Speaker 9: to be respected, and that's to go out there and
Speaker 9: earn earn that, you know, as an athlete, as a
Speaker 9: as a football player especially, it needs to be done
Speaker 9: on the field in the game, you know, and proud
Speaker 9: of our guys for the way they did that tonight.
Speaker 4: Five turnovers, John, I mean, that's a special defensive night
Speaker 4: in any situation in this game. I mean, can you
Speaker 4: can you put a reason behind that level of productive which.
Speaker 3: Is well, I think it was. It was all defensively,
Speaker 3: is all three levels. I mean, we had pressure.
Speaker 9: You know, we got the one game under control that
Speaker 9: helped us a lot, but we got pressure. I think
Speaker 9: our coverage was just fantastic. I mean, and we covered long,
Speaker 9: so we made him hold the ball, force him in
Speaker 9: some bad throws, and we got our hands on balls.
Speaker 9: We tipped balls, got balls in the air, and guys
Speaker 9: caught him. You know that helps too. So it's just
Speaker 9: a complete team effort on defense to get those interceptions.
Speaker 3: Performance tonight.
Speaker 9: I thought Lamar had an MVP. I thought Lamar had
Speaker 9: an MVP performance tonight. You know, it takes a team
Speaker 9: to create a performance like that, but it takes a
Speaker 9: player to play at that level, to play at an
Speaker 9: MVP level takes a player to play that way. Lamar
Speaker 9: was all over the field doing everything. He operated a
Speaker 9: pretty complicated game plan. I thought Todd and the coaches
Speaker 9: deserved a lot of credit for the game plan Lamar operated.
Speaker 9: He made decisions on the field and then just keeping
Speaker 9: plays alive, trusting his offensive line. The offensive line was
Speaker 9: outstanding with the protection. Lamar trusted those guys. He kept
Speaker 9: plays alive, He moved in the pocket, he created space
Speaker 9: for the for the coverage guys. Our guys did a
Speaker 9: great job of scramble drill of getting open. I think
Speaker 9: we had a new new number of plays that were
Speaker 9: extended that were big plays for so just a complete
Speaker 9: game by Lamart. Uh, it doesn't look bad for anybody.
Speaker 9: We will see tomorrow to ensure that. But uh, we're
Speaker 9: fairly optimistic about everybody.
Speaker 4: John, your point about Lamar the long run at the
Speaker 4: end of the first half and then uh a touchdown
Speaker 4: to Aglore. There were two plays on that fairly short job.
Speaker 4: But where he extended plays, how much have you seen?
Speaker 3: I guess the.
Speaker 4: Development of these guys on offense to be able to
Speaker 4: make those plays happen to it together be safe.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 9: I mean that's those aren't just uh, those are just happened.
Speaker 9: Those happen because a lot of hard work gets put
Speaker 9: into it on top of a lot of amazing talent, and.
Speaker 3: It's a group effort.
Speaker 9: You've got the offensive line doing their thing and then
Speaker 9: tight ends receivers and backs both in protection and also
Speaker 9: in routes. Uh, you know it's they they're forced to
Speaker 9: cover guys downfield and Lamar is able to run. You know,
Speaker 9: they don't cover guys downfield. Lamar finds him. He's got
Speaker 9: great vision, and our guys are finding soft spots in
Speaker 9: the coverage there and getting.
Speaker 3: Open and he hits them.
Speaker 9: And he's nobody throws better than Lamar on the move,
Speaker 9: you know, from awkward platforms. He's very accurate that way.
Speaker 9: So all those things I would say came into play.
Speaker 6: You talk about this team's ability to read just to
Speaker 6: focus on the goals and al board, and that's going
Speaker 6: to be after the game like this, what's coming up
Speaker 6: next week? You got to you know, really accomplish some
Speaker 6: regular season goals.
Speaker 9: You can do it well, it is, I mean, you
Speaker 9: know we haven't we haven't finished. You know, we're not finished,
Speaker 9: you know, So we have and that's just the regular season.
Speaker 9: We're not finished with yet. We've got a massive game
Speaker 9: coming up in six days on a short week against
Speaker 9: against a great football team, you know, and uh it's
Speaker 9: gonna be a big challenge and they're already getting ready
Speaker 9: for us. So, uh we've got to get back and
Speaker 9: we've got to get to work.
Speaker 4: Alright, what do you what do you mean that this
Speaker 4: team's ability to to really play their best game against
Speaker 4: some of the division years that you guys have gone against.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I met to tell you how many
Speaker 3: people were picking the Niners.
Speaker 4: But to handle Jaguars the way you guys did the
Speaker 4: lines just.
Speaker 1: On and on, it seems to happen.
Speaker 9: It's a massive it's a major statement about who they
Speaker 9: are and about uh how they compete and and uh
Speaker 9: what they're all about.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, that was head coach John Harball. We also talked
Speaker 1: with linebacker Patrick Queen, Patrick K was there.
Speaker 4: Something that element could use for lying or for this
Speaker 4: team gonna come into this game?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Oh, everybody writing us off before we even got a
Speaker 5: chance to play. We know what we were capable of.
Speaker 5: Everybody counted us out and then expect us to even
Speaker 5: hold up to nails. Everybody was saying we're gonna getlown
Speaker 5: out by double digits or whatever. So I mean, we
Speaker 5: just had to come out and player I start the ball.
Speaker 5: U uh. We all understood that a sigmon. We all
Speaker 5: understood what coach wanted from us, and we just went
Speaker 5: out there and Capitol Looss.
Speaker 4: Patrick Omatma's lines. It looked like you'd be able to
Speaker 4: pregame talk and the huddle there U feel for the game?
Speaker 3: Where did what was the message?
Speaker 5: What did you say that you guys say that we
Speaker 5: worked too hard for people to be writing us off already,
Speaker 5: and we eleven three just like there was eleven and three,
Speaker 5: and you kind of feel a certain way about stuff
Speaker 5: like that when somebody write you off before you even
Speaker 5: get a chance to even play the game. So it
Speaker 5: was just my message, just go out there and just
Speaker 5: take what we want.
Speaker 3: You talk about your interception.
Speaker 6: Also, if you guys had the feeling that the more
Speaker 6: pressure that you were putting on him, it was kind
Speaker 6: of getting him and.
Speaker 3: Forcing him to do things he didn't want to do.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, the Russian covers worked together and we
Speaker 5: all understood that, and we just understood that we had
Speaker 5: to start the run, we'll be able to make plays.
Speaker 7: Man.
Speaker 5: H you know, we capitalized on the place that were
Speaker 5: uh that we were capable of making them.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: We just took off from there then. U. We saw
Speaker 5: a few times where the rest wasn't working with the coverage.
Speaker 5: They got a Q plays here and there. Uh whatever
Speaker 5: it was, we we didn't tackle Ror. We just missed
Speaker 5: that Simon on Uh the cover. So when you see
Speaker 5: things working together like that, like on my interception on Cow,
Speaker 5: interceptions on all everybody plays that they made. Uh, it
Speaker 5: was just both of our uh front line and back
Speaker 5: lines just working together.
Speaker 7: Patrick.
Speaker 3: I mean, you you're playing some of the best teams,
Speaker 3: you know, the Seahawk, Flying s Jags. Now when I
Speaker 3: you're not just beating DC, know, I mean you're it's
Speaker 3: not close. Uh w w w Why do you think
Speaker 3: that is?
Speaker 5: Why?
Speaker 7: Why do why did this this team go plays by
Speaker 7: you know, it's beast.
Speaker 3: Against the best.
Speaker 5: We play a brand of football that people don't wanna play.
Speaker 5: Everybody wanna be out here Q playing basketball on grass
Speaker 5: and stuff. I mean, we ain't with all that, so
Speaker 5: you could do all that stuff. We just gonna get
Speaker 5: in the mouth every play honestly, you know we could
Speaker 5: care less. Boy, all the pretous stuff we do get
Speaker 5: mixed stuff. You just got line of You still have
Speaker 5: to line play football. You still have to get touched.
Speaker 5: So that's how mindset, that's how we wanna come out
Speaker 5: and just you know, hit people in the mouth.
Speaker 3: Did you say that at the point?
Speaker 1: How is playing.
Speaker 4: Basketball and grass?
Speaker 5: They definitely do, but they do have a aggressive mindset
Speaker 5: to it them. Uh, that's honestly. I honestly say Darrek
Speaker 5: probably the most aggressive team that we don't play so far.
Speaker 3: Patrico White, did you guys just so affective against Rock Party?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 5: Like I said, we just ussian coverage. Working together, we
Speaker 5: understood that there'd be opportunities to make plays on the ball.
Speaker 5: We had a good understanding of what they do on offense,
Speaker 5: and we just knew we could stop the rank and
Speaker 5: we did get our hands on the ball, so you know,
Speaker 5: stopped that. I'd like to say, stopped the runk have fun.
Speaker 5: So that's definitely what we did.
Speaker 1: In the locker room. We also talked with wide receivers
Speaker 1: A Flowers who scored a big touchdown on this game
Speaker 1: and also had a nice celebration to go along.
Speaker 5: With it.
Speaker 8: All right, you know, comment to you, they just paid
Speaker 8: the talk, so we come out here and do our job.
Speaker 8: Just how do you go out there to do their job?
Speaker 3: To talk being underdogs coming into this month, a lot
Speaker 3: of you guys said you were disrespectful of How.
Speaker 1: Do you feel about where you are now?
Speaker 8: I don't even know if you just wanted to get
Speaker 8: to win, you know, going to the next game, get
Speaker 8: ready for the Dophins.
Speaker 3: Do you guys have a chance to take that top seat?
Speaker 1: And this needs to be her got to be How
Speaker 1: do you.
Speaker 8: Get all playing our football? Physical, execute and get it
Speaker 8: done how we did tonight? What is it like, say,
Speaker 8: make your job easy, especially if you like just run
Speaker 8: around and get open, cause you know he gonna run around,
Speaker 8: he gonna create, he gonna create second place, probably third places.
Speaker 8: He gonna break a couple of tackles.
Speaker 3: Like you know, he's just easy.
Speaker 8: You make your job easy?
Speaker 4: Is seen?
Speaker 7: Your VP?
Speaker 3: Is that question for real?
Speaker 8: Why you watch the game?
Speaker 7: A little boy?
Speaker 3: He can do everything.
Speaker 7: He g you know you've seen it tonight.
Speaker 3: He ran it, he threw it.
Speaker 7: He led the team Like that's the MVP.
Speaker 3: Like you lead your team?
Speaker 8: You got the best record in the NFL, and he
Speaker 8: just come out and continue and do what he do
Speaker 8: game in and game now, even though people talk about
Speaker 8: he can't do this, he can't do that, and he
Speaker 8: come out and prove them wrong every time.
Speaker 4: What did she commun defense? Y'all reconferredage?
Speaker 3: He gets four exception? Or do you think that like
Speaker 3: white piction the game.
Speaker 1: That you see now?
Speaker 8: I see the best defense in the NFL. That's all
Speaker 8: I've seen. I've been knew it from the jump, but
Speaker 8: I guess a lot of people ain't knowing.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 7: We just had to go short.
Speaker 1: What does it mean to have to leave your family's
Speaker 1: our first high?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 8: I always dream about playing on like Christmas and playing
Speaker 8: on the biggest days, and I was able to do
Speaker 8: it tonight and came out with a win.
Speaker 3: I know my family over there celebrating, so blessed.
Speaker 9: Do you have a better Christmas for your d.
Speaker 8: I used to have good Christmas when I was young.
Speaker 8: We used to get bikes, me and my brother's ride
Speaker 8: around the whole neighborhood. So I'll put this out there.
Speaker 7: It's just like top two.
Speaker 1: That was why she was a Flowers. We also heard
Speaker 1: from linebacker rokwand Smith.
Speaker 9: Forty nine ers quarterback from Rockberty, an MVP candidate.
Speaker 1: But you guys limit him. How were you able to?
Speaker 2: I think that just got back to what we're doing
Speaker 2: Russian coverage, and I think it was just guys stepping
Speaker 2: up at the end of the day. And we have
Speaker 2: the utmost respect and the utmost trust since a person
Speaker 2: on this defense and uh, the way he might call
Speaker 2: the game man second to none in this league.
Speaker 3: So I just love playing in this defense.
Speaker 2: And it's it's very hard to uh do what you
Speaker 2: need to do for four quarters on this defense.
Speaker 4: And your quarterback, I'll let you talk about Tom.
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, our quarterback.
Speaker 2: I think if anybody watched the game, if anybody watched
Speaker 2: football this season and watch the Baltimore Ravens, they know
Speaker 2: for a fact Lamar.
Speaker 3: Jackson is the uh MVP hands down.
Speaker 2: Oh why uh If anyone that watches football and no
Speaker 2: football and see the type of impact he has on
Speaker 2: the game, not even like stat wise, but just individually,
Speaker 2: like the players that he make quarter in and quarter out,
Speaker 2: play in and play out, compare his film to anyone
Speaker 2: else in the league, and then I would love to
Speaker 2: uh hear what anyone else has to say after that,
Speaker 2: you guys have a chance.
Speaker 1: To take the number one seed next week against the Dolphins.
Speaker 5: How do you carry this comendument about there.
Speaker 2: And Jordan's winning tonight, long playing ride uh back to Baltimore,
Speaker 2: Uh and then flush it and tomorrow we're gonna move
Speaker 2: on to uh Miami, cause hey, it's a really good team,
Speaker 2: a lot of weapons on that team and they're uh
Speaker 2: coming to town.
Speaker 3: But hey, we wouldn't like it any other way.
Speaker 5: We could play the rough, rough, rigid road.
Speaker 2: You know, we got type of.
Speaker 3: Those type of guys.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Rokwan Smith. Next up is cornerback Marlon Humphy.
Speaker 6: Molly, you talk about obviously getting the five turnovers to night.
Speaker 6: Uh what this says about this defense and how you
Speaker 6: guys played tonight?
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, uh it was just a total team effort,
Speaker 10: you know, Russian coverage, working together, you know, guys getting
Speaker 10: back there to the quarterback and the game plan we
Speaker 10: had coming in. So it was it was a big,
Speaker 10: big turnover night. So uh, just testament to just everybody
Speaker 10: working together.
Speaker 6: There was a lot of talk coming in, you know,
Speaker 6: Mike four who a lot of people saying, you know,
Speaker 6: you guys are gonna get blown out. Did you guys
Speaker 6: hear that noise? And how did you guys come in
Speaker 6: here kind of feeling a certain kind of way.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the uh, the the interviewer guy who whatever he does. Uh,
Speaker 10: that was at our team meeting, so it was impossible
Speaker 10: to not hear that one for us. But uh, I
Speaker 10: just felt, you know, it seems like, you know, it's
Speaker 10: the NFL. Anybody can beat anybody, So for there to
Speaker 10: be so much, you know, favoritism towards important knowledge that
Speaker 10: it was a little surprising. Just you know, I'm, like
Speaker 10: I said earlier, I'm okay being then underdog, but five
Speaker 10: and a five point five is kind of a lot.
Speaker 10: You know, I would have been okay with two and
Speaker 10: a half three, but uh, you know, we we did
Speaker 10: take that a little personal. Uh, so we tried to
Speaker 10: even the score.
Speaker 3: Did you want something about thirty though? That? I mean,
Speaker 3: you guys did something to him like he's a kid
Speaker 3: that's not doesn't happen to him often? Do you see
Speaker 3: something about him?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: We we we tried.
Speaker 10: Man, he he does he makes all the right reads.
Speaker 10: So it was really it was really kind of hard
Speaker 10: to to kind of plush, and we we felt if
Speaker 10: we could get the lead then maybe that that would
Speaker 10: be our best chance.
Speaker 3: And so we were able to get the lead.
Speaker 10: And and kind of, you know, attempt to flush him.
Speaker 10: But man, it's it's hard to stop that guy. He
Speaker 10: just kind of makes all the right reads. It doesn't
Speaker 10: really make even though he made misakes and not he hugs,
Speaker 10: it doesn't make so many mistakes.
Speaker 7: Why do you think you're able to half?
Speaker 3: Why do you think we got to see you remember
Speaker 3: the six fourth being the right spots?
Speaker 10: I think really just lying to the ball. I mean,
Speaker 10: I want of Kyle's he went to go rush the
Speaker 10: quarterback and then got a pick. So stuff like that.
Speaker 10: Just run into the ball, you know, be Steve tips
Speaker 10: it up. A lot of things kind of kind of
Speaker 10: bounce our wedd tonight. But you know, I think it's
Speaker 10: just a full team effort. Is running too the ball,
Speaker 10: hustling and trying to take you know, fire to fire.
Speaker 10: That team is I think everybody's a little sore that
Speaker 10: that's you know, there's a lot of teams that you
Speaker 10: know want to be physical.
Speaker 3: That team is a real deal physical team, a really
Speaker 3: good team.
Speaker 10: So for us to come out and kind of put
Speaker 10: on a show this It was really good for us.
Speaker 6: The guys are real close to, you know, accomplishing of
Speaker 6: all your regular season goals. Have been really good about
Speaker 6: taking it one week at the time. Once this team's mindset.
Speaker 6: You know, you got a huge game obviously sunny again
Speaker 6: against the Dolphins.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like calvan Joy said, you know, enjoy this one.
Speaker 10: But when we land, it's kind of you know, we
Speaker 10: got a short week, but we really want to beat
Speaker 10: the Dolphins to get that number one seed. So we'll
Speaker 10: enjoy this one on the plane and then uh, when
Speaker 10: we touch down it will kind of you go, time
Speaker 10: to get rid of for the Dolphins.
Speaker 3: When you feel with the other division leaders something a
Speaker 3: lion you you he's a couple of digits. Why do
Speaker 3: you do this? Man?
Speaker 10: I don't know, I think, uh, honestly, I don't know.
Speaker 10: I think, you know, the biggest thing is we try
Speaker 10: to we try to get ahead and and kind of
Speaker 10: go from there. It seems like the balls kind of
Speaker 10: bounce our way, and we just got to keep playing
Speaker 10: fundamental football. That's the biggest thing, and we can be
Speaker 10: fundamentally sound. I think we got a pretty good chance
Speaker 10: against anybody and what do you think.
Speaker 3: A mean, this is supposed to be the top two.
Speaker 3: Is the field favorites in thirty versus more? What do
Speaker 3: you what do you think? Do you think that's deciding?
Speaker 10: And you know, I think, uh, you know, I know
Speaker 10: when there's two MVB candidates, you know, possibly three McCafferty.
Speaker 3: I think McCaffrey did have a good game. We have
Speaker 3: a good game. He's a really good player.
Speaker 10: But I think you know the score and you know,
Speaker 10: our guy, it might be Lamar, that might be them.
Speaker 10: So that's that's that's our pitch for for that.
Speaker 3: It's really if.
Speaker 4: You're a very quiet team, is or is like the
Speaker 4: number of wins you have that people just don't getting
Speaker 4: attention to you guys. Maybe a lot of talking from
Speaker 4: about the Niner and the Eagles, But you guys have played,
Speaker 4: you know, extremely low and you guys.
Speaker 10: Are you guys are pull up with three now, you know,
Speaker 10: I think that just comes from Lamar's got a lot
Speaker 10: of haters, so it doesn't want to help us so much.
Speaker 3: They always wait for the marta fail.
Speaker 10: We know, we're not mad at it, but uh, I
Speaker 10: think that's the biggest thing, you know, He's I feel
Speaker 10: like one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but
Speaker 10: also one of these most doubted. So I think a
Speaker 10: lot of a lot of stuff comes from the doubts
Speaker 10: and the hate the un receives, and it kind of
Speaker 10: we don't mind it.
Speaker 3: So it's it's all good.
Speaker 1: And close things out. Let's hear from safety of Marcus Williams,
Speaker 1: who came away with the final interception on the game
Speaker 1: where always had five picks on the night and Marcus
Speaker 1: Williams got the final one to steal the victory for
Speaker 1: this team. So let's kick things over to Marcus.
Speaker 7: I turned Hope's agence the forty nine. That's what we
Speaker 7: practice every day. We come out, we preach again, three
Speaker 7: takeaways and practice and you know, trans this is into
Speaker 7: the game.
Speaker 6: Did you guys feel somewhat disrespected coming in here? Like
Speaker 6: you know a lot of piously in forty nine ers,
Speaker 6: blow your guys out, bla blazin.
Speaker 7: We really don't care what people got to say. We
Speaker 7: just come in and we do our job. The you know,
Speaker 7: the beauty of it all is you know, we're a Ravens,
Speaker 7: and Ravens do a Ravens do? We come out here?
Speaker 7: We put it all on the line and we play
Speaker 7: ball each and every play.
Speaker 6: Obviously, you guys have another big game next weekend. But
Speaker 6: you guys, who's done a great job taking one week
Speaker 6: at a time. Tell me about the mindset now coming
Speaker 6: off this one happened, another one.
Speaker 7: On sunder Man. It's twenty four hour world. You know,

Speaker 7: Every game is a big game, and we're just gonna
Speaker 7: come out, We're gonna practice hard, and Sunday we're gonna
Speaker 7: see where I'll go.
Speaker 6: There was a lot of talk coming in about, you know,
Speaker 6: MVP Race, what do you think about what Lamar did
Speaker 6: the night as far as you know, solidifying.
Speaker 7: Maybe that man. Lamar's a special player. You know, there's
Speaker 7: no other quarterback like him that could do what he
Speaker 7: does week in and week out. And he's very special.
Speaker 7: And I wouldn't rather have been on any other team
Speaker 7: than with Lamar Jackson.
