Bay Stadium as 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.760 the Ravens just delivered a commanding, dominant performance to take 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:27.400 down one of the other best teams in the NFL. 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:28.960 After the game, we had a chance to hear from 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.040 head coach John Harvill, who discussed what this win means 0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:33.200 to the scene. 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:39.360 Okay, thanks for being here. I hope it was entertaining 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.080 and fun. Couldn't be more proud of his football team, 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:43.120 could be more proud. 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:43.640 Of the fans. Man. 0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.279 Our fans were there, They were into it. 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:46.920 It was loud. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.800 It was loud from the opening bell. Even with the 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.960 adversity early in the game. Our fans didn't didn't blink. Okay, 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.000 they did a great job. I'm proud of them, Proud 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:56.800 of the team. I feel like, I feel like I 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:58.840 don't know if I've seen a more impressive performance in 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.080 a game. I'm not sure I've seen a more impressive 0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:05.080 performance in a season to date, and obviously we have 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:05.760 a lot more to do. 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:07.039 We got a lot of work to do in front 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:07.319 of us. 0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.080 But it's a mature football team and they understand that, 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.880 they understand the week the week that it's a one 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.080 week challenge. And I just think the way they've approached 0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:21.640 every single game this year, from the beginning on through versity, travel, 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:24.480 quality of opponents we've had to play, to step up 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:25.880 and play the way they had and to put an 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.840 exclamation point on it, triple exclamation points on it with 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.000 a performance like this pretty much a well rounded, perfect 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.680 performance like that after the opening bell even that, to 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:37.800 bounce back from the beginning of the game, the way 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.039 they did it just it says about who they are. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:42.520 And I just have so much respect for him. So 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:43.320 what question do you have? 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.640 Last week you called in Lamar Jackson's performance in the 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:51.960 MVP performance, what would you say of this performance in 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:52.600 this season? 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:54.240 By yeah, I'd say it's even better. 0:01:54.360 --> 0:01:56.120 I mean, this performance was even better than last week, 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.640 you know, And he played he played really a great 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.760 football game. I mean he played a football game. In 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.400 terms of the passing game. He says on point the 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.760 pass protection was fantastic, I mean, that's a really good 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.799 pass rush. Hope Chubb is Okay, be praying for him. 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.280 He's he's one of the best players in the National 0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:14.080 Football League. He was a major contention for us. But 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.680 our offensive line just played outstanding. The thing I want 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.880 to mention too while I'm thinking about it, depth, The 0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:22.480 depth we showed. We had a lot of guys out 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:24.959 in this game, coming off that physical game last week, 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:26.920 guys that couldn't end up going couldn't make it for 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.519 our corners. Where our corners stepped up the way they did. 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:31.920 Receivers like Bateman to come out and play the way 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.560 he did. It was just a very impressive performance. Ben 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.080 Cleveland came out and played great. And there's a spiritual 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.160 depth to this team as well. Okay, that under underlines 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.000 all that you know, and I think that kind of 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.240 where the real power comes from. 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.320 John, John, were you starting to consider continuency plays that 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:47.960 corner there, especially when. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.480 The worthy went over, Well, yes, you play the guys 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:50.760 you got. 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.279 I mean, Darryl was was back up for an emergency, 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.760 so they told us if we had an emergency, he 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:58.560 could go back in. 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.320 So John Big playing. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.680 The big play in the game that fourth and said 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.000 in the two minut dal for out time that you 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.120 went for What went into the decision to. 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:10.320 Go for it at that point? 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:12.600 Yeah, well, I mean I feel good about our offense 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:13.840 first of all. I mean I felt like we were 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.600 really doing some good things. And then the kick was tough, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.640 the win was coming out of that end, and it 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.360 was just gonna be a real challenging kick. I thought 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.360 we had at least as good a chance of making 0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.000 the fourth down as we probably. I mean, Tuck's the 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.200 best in the business. Tuck was already out there, you know, 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.280 did that surprise anybody? But he probably would have made it. 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.440 But we had a great chance, I thought, to get 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:33.600 it and turn out to be. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.480 The right call down so many bodies in your running backs, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.920 I mean, with JK and Keaton being lost with the year, 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.480 what do you make of especially Justice today kind of 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.520 stepping out of his utility role and rising above in 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:47.600 a couple of different roles for you. 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:49.400 To Yeah, like we said, I mean Justice is a 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:50.760 starting running back too, you know. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.160 And he played that way. 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.040 I mean he was just he was romping and stomping, man, 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.720 I mean, just big play after big play, so impressive. 0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.760 He's he's that kind of back I think. 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.760 I think, you know, those guys kind of not took 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:02.880 it personally so much as but you know, they they're 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:05.120 great backscus a great back How about mel goes in 0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:06.160 at the end of the game and runs the ball 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:06.840 the way does you know? 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.320 And sometimes guys just just they work. They work so hard. 0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:12.760 So many players in this league work so hard, and 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.480 then you know, an opportunity doesn't come. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:16.360 But when an opportunity comes. 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:17.560 To see guys step up the way they have, like 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.360 Justice did and other guys have, it's just, as the 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:25.760 coach man, it just that's everything. 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:26.920 Massively good. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:28.880 I mean to me, that was kind of a part 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.960 of it that we kept saying, if we can start 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.040 hitting the deep ball, you know, we can make those 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.760 big plays, that's gonna that's gonna be a backbreaker, you know, 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.359 And it turned out to be a backbreaker today. 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:38.720 It was great to see. 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:40.400 This team. 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.520 You know, you play next week, you've wrapped up the title. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.039 Have you given any thoughts with them? Lamar Jackson will 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:46.640 play next week. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.760 I've given a lot of thought to it, uh, And 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.360 it was all kind of hypothetical until just now. And 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.040 I'm sure I'll talk to Lamar and I'm sure he's 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.400 gonna want to play, but you know we're gonna have 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:56.839 to talk about that and decide what we want to do. 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.719 You know, you can only you can only take six 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.120 players out of the equation. You know there's gonna be 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.160 injuries anyway, So you know, it's not like the preseason. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.839 This is your you got your playing your team, except 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:08.800 for whoever you end up taking out. Uh, so we 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.600 just gram up to have the conversation. We have not 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:11.719 made any decision there yet. 0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.600 You mentioned the way you've played against good teams. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.599 I mean, for the most part, you've not just won those. 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:16.839 Games, dominated those games. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:19.160 That's trying to say about rising to the moment or 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.800 whatever quality there. 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:22.240 Is in this team for that Yeah, I mean I 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.280 think I'm not sure exactly how to define it, but 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:25.960 I think you know it when you see it, right, 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.600 And uh, that's pretty remarkable with these I don't think 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:29.960 it's ever been done in the history of the National 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.880 Football League what these guys have done in that sense. 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.200 So it is it's it's it's amazing. It's something that 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.520 they'll have for the rest of their careers. 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:37.120 We all will. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.360 But uh, there's a lot of work to be done still, 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.600 and we're looking forward to the challenge. 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:44.360 How does the field to have them field fans down 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:46.600 secure through through the ABC playoffs? 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:48.240 It feels great, you know. But you know we're good 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.919 on the road too, you know, But no, we won't. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.960 We like being here. I mean, our fans are incredible, 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:55.279 you know, and it's a great place to be and 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:57.840 it's loud, and it's fun and and all that, but 0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.960 you know, you gotta go play well. So between now 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:03.160 and then, our focus is going to be on preparation 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.440 and playing a great football game next Sunday against Pittsburgh 0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.719 coming in here, and then preparing for the first playoff 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.400 game that we play in the Divisional round and playing 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.320 our best football in that game. That's everything we do 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.279 is gonna be locked in and focused towards that, and 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:17.400 I know our guys are gonna be looking at it 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:17.680 that way. 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.360 Hold on a fight, Well, we'll do two more. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:27.160 Childs goes first, Childs and go ahead, child. 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:33.440 That's true, that's true, And you look at I'm old enough, John. 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:34.960 You just talked about whole field. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.560 How crucial was it to earn that extra maybe a 0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.560 couple of weeks, so rest of repreparation for the guys 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:40.560 that do need it. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.000 It's going to be valuable, There's no doubt about it. 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:43.479 I mean, our guys are going to keep working hard 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.920 and preparing to be ready to play. They'll practice, they'll lift, 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:47.839 they'll do all the things they gotta do. But that 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.440 extra week is going to be very valuable. 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.240 You have a mission this speed. 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.440 So what did you learn from twenty nineteen when you 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:56.760 had this? 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.680 And do you call other coaches and talk to them 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.440 and ask any advice or suggestions for you? 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:03.839 I do? 0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.400 You know, it's it's I mean, and he's my guy. 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:06.960 It's kind of hard to call him though, because he's 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.560 you know, he's also in the playoffs, so he probably 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.960 don't won't give me any good answers. I'll probably talk 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.760 to coach Belichick, you know, But really, I think you 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.080 just got to look at to talk to you guys. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.680 I mean, talk to guys like Rowe, talk to guys 0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:21.160 like Lamar and and come up with a plan. And 0:07:21.200 --> 0:07:23.400 the biggest thing is gonna be preparation, you know, just 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:24.920 the way they prepare for that first game. 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.680 That's it. We remember nineteen. 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:28.280 I mean, it's not something we're gonna forget and it's 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:32.280 gonna be something that's gonna we're not gonna take it 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.800 for granted, not that we ever would, but it's it's 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:38.720 it's one more thing that that kind of makes you 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.560 who you are at this point in time. So we 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:42.960 haven't forgotten that. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:48.840 That's that was that coach John Harbaugh. We also talked 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:53.040 with quarterback Lamar Jackson.

And uh 0:12:26.880 --> 0:12:29.400 that Pastor Odell was one of the prime examples. You 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.200 know that that wonderfu catch he did, you know, but 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.240 me just checking just saying it was man coverage and 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.600 stuff like that. Uh, just having the freedom to do 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.560 without you know, what I see or do whatever I 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.240 want to when I see things out there on the field. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:39.880 That's great for me. 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.240 Morl kind of rhythm. 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.280 Will we start talking bunking on the field late in 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:43.800 the game. 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:44.800 Yeah, that's crazy. I ain't nothing. 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:47.920 I wasn't expecting to see him til we got in 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:49.480 the locker room. But for him to be on the field, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.240 I'm like, this, man is funny. 0:12:53.320 --> 0:12:54.920 What kind of rhythm was he in as a play? 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.360 Called man that? That's the type of game I like. 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:01.840 You know, he was dialing it up, you know, being aggressive. Uh, 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.360 but he was letting me be the decision maker. You know, 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:06.240 I can be aggressive or just take what the defense 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:08.640 give us. And you know it was hand to hand 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.480 with that. And that's pretty much how I liked the 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.000 game to go. And he did a great job today. 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:14.960 La marn Fine touched down passes perfect Casher rating. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.079 Did you feel like you were in a in a 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:17.920 zone out there? 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:19.360 Uh? 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:22.400 I feel like I feel like if if you could 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.679 tell you in his zone, you're not in his zone, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.320 you know. So I was just trying to focus on 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.920 a play, you know, whatever play he called, just focus 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:30.480 on that play. You know, I got a ball in 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:32.760 my hand, made something happen, you know, just take advantage 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:33.679 of what the defense gave me. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:36.520 And that's pretty much what it was. So yeah, I 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.120 was just locked in. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.199 I was quarterback Lamar Jackson. We also heard from linebacker 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.520 Rookwan Smith, who came up with a one handed interception 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:52.800 in the win. Brokamo was the the locker room seemed 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:55.319 like after excused be a a big win like this. 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.280 Honestly, I got the tail end of it because I 0:13:59.320 --> 0:14:01.480 was out trying to make sure, like some of the 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.120 fans that get out here don't have many chances and stuff, 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.600 trying to sign things and just take pictures along the edges. 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:08.880 So I was more so doing that. 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.000 So I missed it, but you know I heard about it, 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.560 and then the after mask, you know a lot of 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.720 really good pictures with the guys and just you know, 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.720 celebrating the hard work, but knowing we obviously got a 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:18.280 long ways to go. 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:20.640 Real qull what you're saying about this team over the 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.000 last six days, you got the traction with prestments in 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.440 New Year's played Serrancesco Miami and I have scored them 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:26.480 eighty nine to thirty eight. 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.119 Honestly, man, I just think, uh, it's just adversity. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.680 Look at versity in the face and like I always 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.400 tell the guys, chin up, chest out. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.040 Like we don't bow down for anything. All you can do. 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.120 People make excuses with adversity and we just produce. I'm 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:41.920 in the result making business and the guys in the 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:43.840 locker room is in the same type of business. So 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.480 regardless getting back at nine on what Tuesday, and then 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.320 you know, having to role. But at the end of 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.880 the day, life is not about excuses. It's about what 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:53.680 you're gonna do and play the cards at You're a 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:55.680 delt Man. That's how I lived my life and that's 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:56.960 how the guys in the locker room role. 0:14:57.280 --> 0:15:00.080 But what adjustments did you make did the defense? I 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.040 guess as the game went on, because I mean they 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:04.560 were gauging you pretty good on first couple drives, but 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.040 then you guys kind of locked in. 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.640 What did you do to change that? 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:09.480 Doing what we do? 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:11.720 And I think that's just getting back to the fundamentals, 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.560 And you know, hats off to those guys. They actually 0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:15.720 had a lot of you know, some good plays died 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.120 up and you know that's credit them. Their coaches they 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:19.760 get paid as well, and the players they get paid 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.080 as well. So when you think about it from that perspective, 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:23.600 we just had to settle down and do what we 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.040 had to do. And you know, obviously turnovers help any game, 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.200 So we just got to do we gotta do focus 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.800 on all the little things and then we do that. 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.880 Man with heard defense to move the ball on consistently broken. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:35.280 You think us three d into one head pick and 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.400
