Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens took
Speaker 1: down the Houston Texans thirty four to ten in the
Speaker 1: Divisional round of the playoffs at M and T Bank Stadium.
Speaker 1: The Ravens will now host the AFC Championship at the Bank,
Speaker 1: which will be the first time in franchise history that
Speaker 1: the Ravens have ever hosted an AFC Championship. This team
Speaker 1: is now one win away from the Super Bowl. There's
Speaker 1: all sorts of excitement in Baltimore, and after the win today,
Speaker 1: the Ravens talked about this victory what it means to
Speaker 1: this team. So let's kick things off by hearing from
Speaker 1: head coach John Harball.
Speaker 2: All right, appreciate everybody being here. I just want to
Speaker 2: start off with this. This is something that was sent
Speaker 2: to me before the game and it just is meaningful
Speaker 2: to me. So I'm going to share it with you
Speaker 2: because I think it's the right thing to do, and
Speaker 2: it's a verse. Greatness, Power, glory, victory, and honor belong
Speaker 2: to you because everything in heaven and on earth belongs
Speaker 2: to you. The kingdom belongs to you.
Speaker 3: Lord.
Speaker 2: You are the head and the ruler over everything. So
Speaker 2: there's an amazing spirit on this team and just want
Speaker 2: to kind of give honor and glory word's due with that.
Speaker 2: The first ever AFC Championship game we've played in Baltimore
Speaker 2: since nineteen seventy when John Sandusky, Jerry Sandusky's dad was
Speaker 2: the offensive line coach here. So we're excited about that,
Speaker 2: and our fans are gonna get a chance to cheer
Speaker 2: just as louder louder than they did in this game.
Speaker 2: And they were amazing. Six fall start penalties. I thought
Speaker 2: our fans were incredible. Man, it was deafening out there.
Speaker 2: So credit to our fans first of all. Coaches and
Speaker 2: players I thought did a great job. Second half adjustments
Speaker 2: were really strong and Lamar just played out of his
Speaker 2: mind along with our defense. Everybody did so. Proud of
Speaker 2: our guys. It's the first step. The next step is
Speaker 2: in front of us. We'll find out who we play
Speaker 2: after tomorrow and we're looking forward to it.
Speaker 4: In the halftime, what was the locker room like?
Speaker 5: What was in the locker room that half time?
Speaker 2: To get just the team reasons out, Yeah, the locker
Speaker 2: room was good. I think everybody's just kind of a
Speaker 2: little little leedgie, you know. We all we all at Legie.
Speaker 2: I mean I talked to him last night, like, I
Speaker 2: don't even know how we feel. None of us know
Speaker 2: how we feel. We feel we're excited for the opportunity,
Speaker 2: but we're Reggie and we're mad. You know, we got
Speaker 2: a lot to prove. And I felt that was kind
Speaker 2: of the feeling in the locker room at the game,
Speaker 2: and everybody just kind of just took a deep breath
Speaker 2: and said, all right, you know, it's zero to zero.
Speaker 2: Gave up a big pump return, and it's our game
Speaker 2: to go win. We gotta go take it.
Speaker 4: And I know that a lot of guys have turned
Speaker 4: over to this twenty nineteen, but over the last two weeks,
Speaker 4: how powerfully you did that memory kind of linger for
Speaker 4: you or lamar or motivate anybody that contribute to the edginess.
Speaker 2: Was going to Yeah, I mean, I don't know. It's
Speaker 2: a good question. I just think for those who were here,
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not something you forget, but it wasn't
Speaker 2: really in the forefront of our minds. It's just a
Speaker 2: different team, it's a different opponent, but it's not something
Speaker 2: you want to experience again when you've been through it once.
Speaker 3: Before, so.
Speaker 2: It's probably part of it.
Speaker 6: What did you think of the defense dominant day again,
Speaker 6: only giving up three points.
Speaker 2: The defense was was just as good as it could be.
Speaker 2: And that's a good offense over there. That's a good
Speaker 2: quarterback c J. Strouders. There's a lot of credit. They're
Speaker 2: very well coached. Their offensive line is really good and tough.
Speaker 2: It's tough to get to the quarterback and he gets
Speaker 2: out and he starts running around and starts making plays downfield.
Speaker 2: But I thought our guys chased him, and I thought
Speaker 2: our plaster downfield, our coverage was just outstanding. We covered
Speaker 2: as long as we needed to so many times. He
Speaker 2: still made some really good throws in there, so got
Speaker 2: a heck of a running back. I thought our defense
Speaker 2: was just as good as it could be.
Speaker 7: Half adjustments, What did you think you needed to change.
Speaker 3: Coming out of the Lark room.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked a little bit about just pass rush lanes.
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about what defenses were going
Speaker 2: to be and then offensive. We talked a little bit
Speaker 2: about completions, a little bit about a profit game. You know,
Speaker 2: let's get the thing going, not trying to push the
Speaker 2: ball downfield quite as much I think that also helped
Speaker 2: open up the run game a little bit. So Lamar
Speaker 2: did a great job. A lot of that was his
Speaker 2: thinking as well, and he was all over what he
Speaker 2: thought we needed to do in the second half. Collaborative effort.
Speaker 2: For sure. Todd deserves a lot of credit. I thought
Speaker 2: he called a great game seen the second half, and Mike,
Speaker 2: Mike was you know, he was on fire.
Speaker 7: Get a sense from that this was gonna be the
Speaker 7: type of game that you were going to get on
Speaker 7: a little more.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really did. We talked about I thought I
Speaker 2: thought Lamar was gonna play great, but he's played great
Speaker 2: all year, you know, and and just now it's it's
Speaker 2: more important than ever. He's been locked in from day one.
Speaker 2: That's his term and uh, and we've all kind of
Speaker 2: ran with that, and I think he's, uh, he's he's
Speaker 2: he's directed this whole thing. But like he said, we
Speaker 2: got we got more work to do.
Speaker 3: John, Were you surprised how much they've blitzed you.
Speaker 2: Guys, No, not at all, because they had a little
Speaker 2: bit of success to do it the first game. They've
Speaker 2: they've they've picked our spots. They've been a good blitz team.
Speaker 2: We kind of expected it. We prepared for it. We
Speaker 2: worked on blitz stuff two weeks. Lamar did a great
Speaker 2: job the offensive line. Everybody did a great job. I mean,
Speaker 2: we had our moments and we had we had to
Speaker 2: make a few adjustments in terms of how we were
Speaker 2: picking them up. They changed up a couple of things
Speaker 2: for this game too, and we had to flip our
Speaker 2: protections a little bit.
Speaker 5: So what were your adjustments in the second Jim Doo
Speaker 5: good places.
Speaker 2: Uh No, I think we just did a bad job
Speaker 2: of kind of getting the ball out on time. I
Speaker 2: think I called a different game. It wasn't so much
Speaker 2: hold the ball and try to push the ball down field,
Speaker 2: which Almar did a good job. But once once to
Speaker 2: Mar was able to sit back there just kind of
Speaker 2: just kind of pick them apart getting the ball out quick.
Speaker 2: He just did a great job with that and not
Speaker 2: to control of the game.
Speaker 7: So that video just appeared of you doing another dance
Speaker 7: after how many more you got?
Speaker 2: No, that wasn't me, It wasn't me, It was all everybody.
Speaker 2: I mean, George GOTTSI started it off because he wanted
Speaker 2: uh as a night train by the Gap Band, I
Speaker 2: don't know which song it was. The train song by
Speaker 2: the Gap Band. I should know that song, it's my era.
Speaker 2: But George Gota started then we all we all got
Speaker 2: in there and dance. So I always want you to
Speaker 2: know it wasn't just me, just we saw we.
Speaker 3: Saw Gus Edwards leave and is okay?
Speaker 8: And what do you think of Dalvin Cook?
Speaker 2: I thought Dalvin Cooke did Gus is okay? I thought
Speaker 2: Dalvin was really it was a spark, you know. He
Speaker 2: did a nice job to finish the thing off at
Speaker 2: the end when we needed to run the clock house.
Speaker 2: Justice had a great game. Justice so many runs all
Speaker 2: throughout the game and at the end couple of hard runs.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I told Justice, I said, man, you're really really talented,
Speaker 2: but your heart's even bigger.
Speaker 4: John, you kind of touched on it in your opening,
Speaker 4: But how meaningful is it for you and this group
Speaker 4: to be the first in franchise history?
Speaker 9: Though?
Speaker 3: Is the NFC Championship?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 2: It's meaningful, you know, And now we got to get
Speaker 2: to work and go win it.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 2: That's really that That's the Uh, that's the challenge.
Speaker 4: Is it just to kind of feel like that initial
Speaker 4: win just freezey guys up a little bit.
Speaker 12: Talk about that.
Speaker 4: Back to the edginess, is that kind of give an
Speaker 4: Alpatross off you a little bit.
Speaker 2: They're gonna our guys are gonna stay edgy. Our guys
Speaker 2: are gonna stay edgy. I don't know whatever you wanna
Speaker 2: call it, but they're they're deterrement and they're motivated, and
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a great team coming in here next week.
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to play our best football, and I
Speaker 2: promise you that's all these guys are gonna be thinking about.
Speaker 8: John. What happened on the puffer turn touchdown in the
Speaker 8: texts that broke down?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we uh we uh it wasn't you know, Jordan'
Speaker 2: probably tell you wasn't the greatest pon he's ever had,
Speaker 2: and it was into the win. It was really a
Speaker 2: tough punt to drop, was tough, got in his hands fast.
Speaker 2: We were we were skewed to the left more because
Speaker 2: it was we thought it maybe we'd go left a
Speaker 2: little more and thought they blocked it really well, and
Speaker 2: he's a great returner. I'm proud of the fact the
Speaker 2: rest of the game that we got it, got it
Speaker 2: under wraps. But I give him a lot of credit.
Speaker 2: That's a very good special teams unit. It was a
Speaker 2: return by them.
Speaker 4: What do you think your guys designed runs for Lamar?
Speaker 12: The boots the.
Speaker 4: Draws were so effective knowing that there's always gonna be
Speaker 4: eyes on him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you gotta put eyes on the other guys too,
Speaker 2: because their offensive line blocks and the downhill runs were effective,
Speaker 2: and you've got to put a lot of resources and
Speaker 2: stopping those runs. So I guess you give the offensive
Speaker 2: line and running backs credit for forcing all that attention inside.
Speaker 2: And Lamar is so good getting the ball back outside.
Speaker 13: That was head coach John Harbaugh.
Speaker 1: Next up his quarterback Lamar Jackson, who threw for two touchdowns,
Speaker 1: ran for two touchdowns and really led this Ravens team
Speaker 1: with a passionate speech at halftime to get this offense
Speaker 1: fired up and clicking on all cylinders.
Speaker 4: John, guys were edgy and angry in the locker.
Speaker 2: Room, half serious that.
Speaker 12: You were.
Speaker 3: I was instead opening drive in the second half.
Speaker 5: Did that allow you to excel a.
Speaker 3: Little bit of what we were reposed by us there?
Speaker 5: I mean, we we had no the choice offense as
Speaker 5: a unit, you know, just not put a point where
Speaker 5: we scored once first half. Joe the ball couple times
Speaker 5: first half, but we didn't really have success in our
Speaker 5: Our defense was playing lights out, but we not responding,
Speaker 5: you know, so we just had to dial in uh
Speaker 5: halftime U like coach said, you know, get the ball
Speaker 5: a lot quick and let the defense play us honest,
Speaker 5: and that's what he did.
Speaker 7: W Mar you k you said when we when we
Speaker 7: talked to you on Tuesday, you said you felt like
Speaker 7: you were more prepared for this than you ever had
Speaker 7: been before us.
Speaker 3: Did you feel like that.
Speaker 7: Showed up in the adjustments you guys were able to
Speaker 7: make in.
Speaker 8: The second half.
Speaker 5: I believe so.
Speaker 3: Market I'm a clerk feeling what was said it happened.
Speaker 5: It'd be inappropriate if I said it right here, it would,
Speaker 5: you know. But yeah, we wasn't. We wasn't really doing anything,
Speaker 5: you know, to to that defense. They was playing great
Speaker 5: and that that offense was playing great as well, but
Speaker 5: we wasn't doing our job, you know, with our unit.
Speaker 5: In second half, we went to point points on the board,
Speaker 5: start moving the ball, moving the chains, and start looking
Speaker 5: like ourselves.
Speaker 14: The large technically through the uh the TV though Isaiah
Speaker 14: looked like he was asking.
Speaker 4: For it high in the air or was that Uh nah,
Speaker 4: you brow dope.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, the receiver was called for the ball.
Speaker 5: Tight ends call for the ball when they feel like
Speaker 5: they got someone beat. So that's all he was doing.
Speaker 5: But I get I feel like he was getting crabbed
Speaker 5: a little from twenty four. But I just had to
Speaker 5: place the ball, throw it back shoulder cause he was
Speaker 5: under cutting, and he just made it. He went up,
Speaker 5: made a great catch. The rest is system a law.
Speaker 6: I know, there's one game at a time, But now
Speaker 6: that you guys are going to the AFC Championship game,
Speaker 6: your dream of going to hold out on Barti Troupe
Speaker 6: is it's starting to you know, feel like it's getting
Speaker 6: closer at this point.
Speaker 5: M nah, cause we we gotta we gotta finish, you know,
Speaker 5: still playoffs. We not in the dance yet, but I'm
Speaker 5: looking forward to next week. To be honest with you,
Speaker 5: I'm not even thinking about, uh, super Bowl until we
Speaker 5: had the business.
Speaker 4: The pactors too, Q to sort of have to get
Speaker 4: moving on offense.
Speaker 3: How much do you think that's a function.
Speaker 4: Of is your three weeks without like readingful game and
Speaker 4: getting back into the movie, then.
Speaker 5: I mean everything can play a part of it, you know,
Speaker 5: can't just say like we was we was rusty, you know,
Speaker 5: it was winded. It was coolest heck out there. But
Speaker 5: everything played the factor, you know. But the the thing
Speaker 5: probably about our team is, you know, we came out
Speaker 5: second half and we did what we were supposed to do,
Speaker 5: put points on the board.
Speaker 12: A sorry.
Speaker 4: How how much more in control of the game do
Speaker 4: you kind of feel now versus maybe some of the
Speaker 4: playoff appearances the past or you are you are you
Speaker 4: looking at things and saying, yeah, I have a more experience,
Speaker 4: I'm more ready for this.
Speaker 5: Uh, definitely. I got the keys to the offense, and
Speaker 5: when I see it, I just try to put my
Speaker 5: team in the best position I could wamar would.
Speaker 3: Happened on the second touchdown of yours? You went back
Speaker 3: into the tunnel? Like what to your what's you going
Speaker 3: back there?
Speaker 11: As? Uh?
Speaker 3: What was it like coming out?
Speaker 5: I don't know what took me back, But uh, what
Speaker 5: happened when I came out more got the camera, you know,
Speaker 5: me and Ronnie taking pictures. That's what happened when I
Speaker 5: came out the uh tunnel. But I don't know what
Speaker 5: led me to it. I just seen it when I
Speaker 5: was off to the races.
Speaker 7: Were you surprised at all that they what's as much
Speaker 7: as they did in the first set it was like
Speaker 7: seventy percent of their drummers.
Speaker 5: Nah, Nah, I wasn't surprised. You know, they were having
Speaker 5: success first half with blicks and I saw blicks and
Speaker 5: zero there was there was it was do anything. But
Speaker 5: we watched a lot of film. We was prepared. We
Speaker 5: just we just making little mistakes on you know, protecting
Speaker 5: the blicks and getting the ball out on time. But
Speaker 5: second half, I felt like we was doing what we
Speaker 5: were supposed to do.
Speaker 4: You a kind of just talking at halftime, Hm, who
Speaker 4: did most of the talking at half?
Speaker 1: I did?
Speaker 5: You did a lot of person that's half time. That's
Speaker 5: why I said it was inappropriate. Ron J.
Speaker 4: John was also talking about how you and Todd were
Speaker 4: really collaborating together to make some of those adjustments at halftime.
Speaker 4: What has Todd's trust in you in your insight meant
Speaker 4: this year?
Speaker 5: It mean a lot, you know, for you, for your
Speaker 5: OC to you know, trusting you to be out there
Speaker 5: and point his ten point our team in a in
Speaker 5: a great situation. That's all I need and we gonna
Speaker 5: go from there.
Speaker 10: Two more much has been said about you have even
Speaker 10: want to playoff win over the.
Speaker 3: Course of your cur do you d Have you heard
Speaker 3: that they are motivate?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 5: I heard that?
Speaker 8: What's that?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 2: I heard that?
Speaker 12: I see it.
Speaker 5: I ain't I don't even got to hear it. I
Speaker 5: see it, you know, but it is what it is.
Speaker 5: I really don't care about what people say, you know.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm tryna win day and day out every time
Speaker 5: I'm on that field. I'm trying to play to the
Speaker 5: best of my ability that those guys just had you know,
Speaker 5: had our team member in the past, but it's a
Speaker 5: different team, like I've been saying, and we just gotta
Speaker 5: say locked in on what's ahead of us jokes.
Speaker 4: Oamara, it looks like they kind of tried to test
Speaker 4: you guys with some like the lady.
Speaker 3: Blesses, some safety blisses. I guess what, what did you
Speaker 3: kind of see, especially.
Speaker 4: When we're able to kind of catch them show on
Speaker 4: your hand and how did that affects your guys offense?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, when they was trying to disguise they
Speaker 5: blitz or whole blitz. I'm seeing it, you know, I'm
Speaker 5: looking at the safeties. I'm looking at the linebackers. I'm
Speaker 5: looking at everything, you know, and I'm getting the ball
Speaker 5: out cause us M. If they got a counter for
Speaker 5: they blicks, I gotta counter for it, you know on
Speaker 5: my side. So I just gotta do what I gotta do.
Speaker 5: What I do, you know, just the ball out to
Speaker 5: the guys who's open. And that's what that's what we did.
Speaker 2: Thanks you for mar.
Speaker 5: Appreciate y'all.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 1: That was quarterback Lamar Jackson. Next up, let's go to
Speaker 1: the linebacker Patrick.
Speaker 3: Queen Patrick, what's you say about the Steve fense? You
Speaker 3: only gave up three points the whole game. You didn't
Speaker 3: have a turnover or a shack.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 8: Just resilient. Uh.
Speaker 11: You know, they was driving the ball quite quite a
Speaker 11: few times, and you know we just stayed in there,
Speaker 11: st held our ground. Uh, Benber don't break.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 11: You know, everybody locked in when we ask absolutely needed to,
Speaker 11: and we got the job finished.
Speaker 12: Kaw.
Speaker 3: Do you think the way you guys it especially only
Speaker 3: than one.
Speaker 8: Do you think that kind of set of channel? Yeah?
Speaker 11: Uh, you know that's how we Sposta come out. That's
Speaker 11: how you supposed to play the game. So we we
Speaker 11: don't shot Awa from that kind of stuff. I know.
Speaker 11: You know, it's a lot of drawing back and forth. Uh,
Speaker 11: some people probably thought we shouldn't have been playing like
Speaker 11: that in the game, and you know, that's just what
Speaker 11: we do. So we like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 16: Patrick John Carmo, described as a Lamar, said, there's a
Speaker 16: lot of custing report from your advantage point was the.
Speaker 11: Half kind of partner rem Uh, we know what we
Speaker 11: capable of and we wasn't putting that out on the field.
Speaker 11: So when you got guys like Lamar who's upset about
Speaker 11: that kind of stuff, who usually don't tend to talk
Speaker 11: that much, but when he does, it's very vocal, you
Speaker 11: just gotta sit up. We gotta sit up and listen.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 11: The guy got something good to say, and he was
Speaker 11: rightfully so in the right place to say what he said.
Speaker 11: So you know that's when it's our job to just
Speaker 11: keeping giving them ball back and let them do what
Speaker 11: they do.
Speaker 7: Did you have absolute faith that you guys would respond
Speaker 7: in the second half, Nion.
Speaker 8: You guys have done it throughout the year.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no doubt. I know we all know what we
Speaker 11: could do. You know, that's why the halftime it got
Speaker 11: edgit it cause we know what we could do sitting there.
Speaker 11: The game shouldn't be that close. But you know, give
Speaker 11: those guys respect and all the credit that they had
Speaker 11: to close like that.
Speaker 17: Lamar's uh playoff record was obviously talked about a lot
Speaker 17: of entering this team for the performance like that.
Speaker 1: What does it say about the quarterback he is in
Speaker 1: the regular season and the playoffs.
Speaker 11: He ain't done yet. He got a lot of enough
Speaker 11: to prove. He he wants to prove that. That's why he's
Speaker 11: so hungry. That's why you could see it in his eyes.
Speaker 11: You can see it the way he talk, the way
Speaker 11: he acting right now and you got allowed to prove
Speaker 11: and he wanna prove that.
Speaker 4: That's right, Like, is there a different to get your
Speaker 4: engine or his season.
Speaker 5: Then in in the past.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you real?
Speaker 11: Oh you know he always been that same guy. To me,
Speaker 11: it's just another notch right now. Uh, he know what
Speaker 11: we wants didn't reach and we just gotta take that
Speaker 11: one game at the time, want play at a time,
Speaker 11: one day at a time, on practice at the time. Man,
Speaker 11: we'll be able to achieve that thing.
Speaker 9: God, you can do.
Speaker 4: You think this was a game where in that second half,
Speaker 4: especially you could feel like if you guys with the
Speaker 4: team of rest.
Speaker 16: And neighborhood team can comeing off you know a game
Speaker 16: last weeking Yeah.
Speaker 11: Uh, I mean I don't really know cause we practice
Speaker 11: and he ain't practice often neither, so we had to
Speaker 11: pass on this stuff.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 11: We did what we had to do. That's a tough question, honest.
Speaker 11: I me personally, I don't care about the rest. I
Speaker 11: think any any way you can get to suit up,
Speaker 11: you gotta do enough time to recover, do what you
Speaker 11: need to do. You know, if we got advantage of that,
Speaker 11: then cool. We earned it that trick.
Speaker 7: How would you describe your game planning against the Stroud?
Speaker 7: I mean he got so much success, you know, throwing
Speaker 7: down field against Cleveland week before him. How did you
Speaker 7: guys plan to attacking?
Speaker 8: We just do our job.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 11: You know, they like to take shots, They like to
Speaker 11: do a lot of gimmick stuff to get guys opening
Speaker 11: and stuff. Cleveland just had bad eyes. They was on
Speaker 11: all the stuff. They just had bad eyes leaping the downs.
Speaker 11: And that's what we just did. We just play smart,
Speaker 11: play tard uh rules and just do what we had
Speaker 11: to do.
Speaker 8: You're two more for Patrick.
Speaker 12: I despite not getting a sack.
Speaker 4: You put a lot of pressure on and you got
Speaker 4: 'em off this spot a lot.
Speaker 17: Was Was that part of the plan to get to
Speaker 17: him on move, get him off off balance?
Speaker 3: Definitely?
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 11: Anything you got a guy like that who could put
Speaker 11: the ball anywhere, you gotta get to 'em and get
Speaker 11: those guys up front credit cause we wasn't blissing a
Speaker 11: whole lot. You know, four men rushing getting there, So
Speaker 11: get those guys a lot of credit up front.
Speaker 3: Ron Patrick, can you describe the crowds in for what's
Speaker 3: on their offense?
Speaker 8: From me a round?
Speaker 3: Do what?
Speaker 11: I'm sorry?
Speaker 3: The crowd's influence on their offense?
Speaker 8: Uh?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it got a lout, It got a lot of
Speaker 11: quite a few times, and you could see they had
Speaker 11: some false starts here and there.
Speaker 17: Uh.
Speaker 11: You know that's how we need to bank. We need
Speaker 11: a rocking like that every time.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Patrick Queen in the locker room today.
Speaker 1: We also heard from his running mate, fellow linebacker.
Speaker 8: Who we are and.
Speaker 18: We just have to do we do to the best
Speaker 18: of our ability. And like I said earlier, if we
Speaker 18: do that, that's all she wrote.
Speaker 7: You learned a lot of the doubters coming into this
Speaker 7: game about the past playoff troubles seeing or Lamar's record,
Speaker 7: does that make this much more rewarding?
Speaker 8: Especially the way you guys are able to finish today.
Speaker 18: I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think there's eleven
Speaker 18: people on our offense and eleven people are on our defense,
Speaker 18: and eleven people on special team that plays.
Speaker 8: Not what anybody else has to say.
Speaker 18: They don't put the pass on, so who cares what
Speaker 18: they have to say at the end of the day.
Speaker 18: That's an opinion. That's just like a butt. Everybody has them,
Speaker 18: you know what I mean. So I don't really concern
Speaker 18: myself with that, nor do anyone in this locker room,
Speaker 18: because it's outside noise at the end of the day.
Speaker 18: And honestly, I didn't know too much about it, and
Speaker 18: I really don't care.
Speaker 4: You look at the pre snaff penalties that the Texans got.
Speaker 4: What advantage was the home crowd today?
Speaker 3: And how much are you looking forward to that next
Speaker 3: week championship?
Speaker 11: Oh?
Speaker 18: I know it's gonna be even rocking even more next
Speaker 18: week in the AFC Championship. But that was huge, you know,
Speaker 18: coming to the bank. I had got a little witness
Speaker 18: of it last year. How loud and hostile the environment
Speaker 18: can be and as well as this year.
Speaker 8: So think best fans in UH football and the way
Speaker 8: they come out.
Speaker 18: I don't know what they be on liquid courage or what,
Speaker 18: but they get at the top of their lungs and
Speaker 18: I love to hear it. So it's definitely playing a
Speaker 18: big part and us. And I was talking with some
Speaker 18: of the edge rushers early in the week and like
Speaker 18: they they really enjoyed even more because like norm that
Speaker 18: snap counsel, it's gonna be more predictable UH when us
Speaker 18: as loud.
Speaker 8: So make sure you guys come out loud as crap
Speaker 8: next week.
Speaker 4: For you personally, what does it mean to be one
Speaker 4: game from the super Bowl?
Speaker 8: Next game up?
Speaker 18: So that's our mission, our mission to get there and
Speaker 18: do what we do. But it's gonna take one week
Speaker 18: at a time. So whoever we play next week, they
Speaker 18: come into the bank, and like I said before these
Speaker 18: guys came in, whoever come has to.
Speaker 8: Get dealt with.
Speaker 18: There's a villain to every story, and hey, I send
Speaker 18: theerella story in it, so on to next.
Speaker 16: Well, you guys gonna shut down there running game today.
Speaker 8: How did you guys do about doing that?
Speaker 3: Amateur quarter episodes that.
Speaker 18: Oh that was huge, Like all week, we know we
Speaker 18: stopped the run, but that's what any team. You stop
Speaker 18: the run, make a team one dimensional, and it's gonna
Speaker 18: be very hard to do anything. And uh, that's something
Speaker 18: that's credit to the big dolls up front. I think
Speaker 18: the best front seven and football starting with front four,
Speaker 18: whoever is in there, whatever the rotation is, and then
Speaker 18: the best two combo in the league with me and PQ.
Speaker 18: And so when you look at it like that, you
Speaker 18: stop the run, make them one dimensional. That's when we
Speaker 18: like ball hawks and guys that are make plays on
Speaker 18: the ball.
Speaker 8: Do what they do.
Speaker 13: How can you play.
Speaker 9: Check it out.
Speaker 18: Yeah, it was huge knowing that you know, you get
Speaker 18: him rattled, it's gonna be a tough it's gonna be
Speaker 18: a tough day for him. And that's just like any quarterback.
Speaker 18: You you make a move, get off the spot, change
Speaker 18: up the picture, and get pressure on them. So at
Speaker 18: the end of the day, that was like part of
Speaker 18: the plan, and we.
Speaker 8: Executed a plan to a t uh.
Speaker 18: Sid was a couple of plays here and there, but hey,
Speaker 18: they're in the league as well, so but that was
Speaker 18: a really good team.
Speaker 8: So hats off to those guys. Uh, you know they
Speaker 8: had a great season, but hey, it had to end,
Speaker 8: and you know we delivered the.
Speaker 17: Stephenses and making the statements fall season after the type
Speaker 17: of game.
Speaker 8: They had against the Browns.
Speaker 13: What do it means to keep them completely audience side
Speaker 13: as the defense.
Speaker 18: Yeah, we're not the Browns. We'reda Broughtimore Ravens at the
Speaker 18: end of the day. So whoever they played before us
Speaker 18: really don't matter. Like I put this front, this eleven,
Speaker 18: whoever's out on the field with us versus anyone in
Speaker 18: the league, anyone in the world at that. So we're
Speaker 18: the best, best front eleven, best eleven in the game,
Speaker 18: regardless front seven as well. So I like us US
Speaker 18: versus anyone any given day and twice on game.
Speaker 15: Day, the real guys you wear the black Cats or
Speaker 15: feared or bad guys?
Speaker 14: Uh?
Speaker 2: Is this a role your adopted for the postseason?
Speaker 8: Honestly?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 18: When I seen it in my closet, I actually supposed
Speaker 18: to award it in Arizona with PQ, but I forgot
Speaker 18: my boots, so uh, I brought I had my boots
Speaker 18: at the house today and then I was just like, hey,
Speaker 18: when I was thinking about it this morning, I'm like, hey,
Speaker 18: they are the Texans and they are the Cowboys, but
Speaker 18: you know I got this hat on, so I'm daddy.
Speaker 3: You keep with this or will you change up for
Speaker 3: that treat?
Speaker 18: Oh, next week would be something totally different. This week
Speaker 18: was this had to handle business. That's business handle and
Speaker 18: we did what we had to do, so maybe this
Speaker 18: had to go back up in the closet somewhere.
Speaker 4: Do you have like a Buffalo or Kansas City themed,
Speaker 4: you know, outfit plan for whoever he is?
Speaker 18: Uh it, it'll be something sweet, so we'll be well,
Speaker 18: I'm sure we'll you know. My plan is to let
Speaker 18: you guys see it next week after the game right
Speaker 18: here as well, so it'll definitely be something sweet. Whoever
Speaker 18: we plays, line them up. They gotta get dept with business.
Speaker 8: Business handle about you have a preference for who it
Speaker 8: is coming to Baltimore. I don't care who it is.
Speaker 18: It can be my little little cousins, they can be
Speaker 18: grandparents or whatever.
Speaker 8: You know, you rolled the ball out there.
Speaker 18: They gotta get debt with they come into the bank
Speaker 18: by any means necessary, So whoever it is, I don't care.
Speaker 3: F quin Obviously, the defense played well all four quarters.
Speaker 7: Lamar talked about it and he said, some things that
Speaker 7: have time to get the guys, what do you think
Speaker 7: is more in the second half, and how he energized
Speaker 7: that that second half.
Speaker 8: He was just being himself. At the end of the day.
Speaker 18: I think he's the best quarterback in the game right
Speaker 18: now and doing what he do and that's he can
Speaker 18: beat you in any facet of the game at the
Speaker 18: end of the day.
Speaker 8: So I'm just like I tell people.
Speaker 18: All year long, I'm grateful that I'm playing with him
Speaker 18: and not against him, because trying to deal with him
Speaker 18: dropping back, you know, nothing's there he takes off or
Speaker 18: something's there he's dropping it off there.
Speaker 8: So it's hard.
Speaker 18: It's hard to game plan versus that, and you can't
Speaker 18: really immolate that. You can't really you can't do that
Speaker 18: in practice. So guys try to do it day in
Speaker 18: and day out, but.
Speaker 8: Hey, it never works. And we're on the next week.
Speaker 1: That was linebacker Rokwan Smith. Next up is outside linebacker
Speaker 1: Daveon Clown. How would get Scott feeling in this locker room?
Speaker 19: Oh man, that's a great feeling, especially for me because
Speaker 19: I used to play for that team, right there about
Speaker 19: five four or five years ago, and I got a
Speaker 19: lot of respect for some of the guys that's still there.
Speaker 19: But it's a great feeling. Gets just double against him
Speaker 19: today And locker room went crazy to not, hey, you.
Speaker 1: Did downplay that earlier in the week about you know,
Speaker 1: going out for the team.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 19: I I just you know, I ain't got no no
Speaker 19: hate against nobody because half of the guys I played
Speaker 19: were not there anymore. But I always remember just being
Speaker 19: that drafted me, and uh, I got a lot.
Speaker 8: Of respect for that.
Speaker 3: I appreciate different drafted me.
Speaker 19: But now that I'm here, I mean, of course I
Speaker 19: wanna win that thing, which this is a group right here.
Speaker 8: So it was big for me today.
Speaker 13: It was really dominant defensive effort.
Speaker 8: What about this.
Speaker 13: Defensive play to this level?
Speaker 19: I mean, I mean, we just played well together, got
Speaker 19: a lot of respect for each other.
Speaker 8: We played five.
Speaker 19: Brothers out there, and uh, you just steed off the
Speaker 19: energy from the gods besides you and around you, man,
Speaker 19: and uh, it's a beautiful thing when it come together
Speaker 19: like that, and uh you can go out there and
Speaker 19: put a put together dominant performance and the hope of
Speaker 19: continue with there.
Speaker 13: There were fourth faalse starts to delay a game.
Speaker 19: That's how I was predicated to the fans. Shout out
Speaker 19: to the fans and showing up in supporting today. Uh
Speaker 19: it's much needed. Uh we're gonna need you next week,
Speaker 19: of course, but uh, I love y'all for showing up
Speaker 19: and doing that because, UH making my life a lot
Speaker 19: easier when they came hard account or you know, crazy
Speaker 19: Uh cadence, Uh shout out at.
Speaker 13: Them, and you mentioned the actual championship next week. It's
Speaker 13: the first sign the Ravens are posted.
Speaker 3: Fifty three years well something like that.
Speaker 8: That's what he just said.
Speaker 19: Something crazy number. But I think that's crazy. I thought
Speaker 19: the Ravens growing up. I was a fan.
Speaker 3: I watched them for a year after year, and I
Speaker 3: was always.
Speaker 19: Thinking they played at home, but they didn't. Busting him
Speaker 19: back on station when Ray Lewis.
Speaker 8: And then played.
Speaker 19: I ain't know they played on the road or not,
Speaker 19: but I was watching them, so it's crazy. I'm just
Speaker 19: glad to be here, be a part of this whole.
Speaker 3: Sang man. Let's run and hopefully get the win next year.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 1: That was outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney on the offensive side,
Speaker 1: of the ball. We heard from tight end Isaiah Likely,
Speaker 1: who scored a big touchdown in this one feature.
Speaker 16: Uh you know, I mean when the when the leader talks,
Speaker 16: you listen, so I understand that it was a zero's
Speaker 16: a game going halftime.
Speaker 3: You know, we got in there thirty.
Speaker 16: Minutes, so you know, hone in on the low details
Speaker 16: that we missed and to execute from.
Speaker 13: There after the layoff to get the first one out
Speaker 13: of the way.
Speaker 8: Is it a sense of relief knowing that things are
Speaker 8: heading in the.
Speaker 13: Direction you guys want them to.
Speaker 16: Uh, you know, winning is definitely a relief because think
Speaker 16: you know, the goal is to coach the Super Bowl
Speaker 16: and win it all. So you know, winning this one,
Speaker 16: being one to know this weekend and having an opportunity
Speaker 16: and the blessing to go next week and have the
Speaker 16: same opportunity is definitely another episode.
Speaker 20: For yourself personally to have meaningful snaps production the touchdown
Speaker 20: catching games like this.
Speaker 9: What does it mean to you?
Speaker 15: Uh?
Speaker 16: You know, it's just a blessing from my hard work.
Speaker 16: I mean, it instills confidence in me and instill confident
Speaker 16: of mar to be able to throw the ball and
Speaker 16: you know, trust me to make the players and go
Speaker 16: from there to be home one.
Speaker 5: More time, first time in Ravens franchise history, to have
Speaker 5: the AFC Championship run through here.
Speaker 13: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: I mean it's crazy.
Speaker 16: I mean you have an offense I always has to
Speaker 16: fight against our defense and then have to fight against
Speaker 16: also the bank. I mean the bank gets crazy loud
Speaker 16: on third downs or get back on tracks. So that
Speaker 16: that's just a whole game.
Speaker 13: And and so there's been a lot of talk about
Speaker 13: Lamar and his playoff record.
Speaker 12: What does a win exist.
Speaker 13: And a performance like that, say that who he is
Speaker 13: in the playoffs.
Speaker 16: It reminds you that I mean you could say what
Speaker 16: you want to buy a record, but he shows up
Speaker 16: every Sunday and shows you, guys why he's the MVP.
Speaker 12: And for you to do this, you know, with Mark
Speaker 12: coming back, what's it mean?
Speaker 1: You know, with him on kind of on deck, you know,
Speaker 1: to have that kind of moment to know he's going
Speaker 1: to be here probably next week.
Speaker 12: What kind of boost does that give you guys too?
Speaker 16: I mean it shows you that you know, any any
Speaker 16: skilled position has can light up a scoreboard or take
Speaker 16: over a game. And then adding all pro margangs back
Speaker 16: into the next I mean, somebody's gonna have to come
Speaker 16: in on Sundays and stop, and I feel bad.
Speaker 13: For them most people's now is that Isaiah Likely?
Speaker 12: Especially or what so?
Speaker 16: I mean just getting just you know, having Lamar trust
Speaker 16: me to put the ball up and not make them,
Speaker 16: not make them wrong, always coming down and try and
Speaker 16: go to this.
Speaker 1: That was tight end Isaiah Likely. We also talk with
Speaker 1: wide receiver Nelson Aguilar. He won a Super Bowl during
Speaker 1: his time with the Eagles, and he scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: on here. Today he talked about his veteran experience and
Speaker 1: what a means as the Ravens look to make this
Speaker 1: run to the super.
Speaker 12: Bowl with that interest.
Speaker 13: You said, you guys, you we're a different team.
Speaker 8: You played like the number one seed.
Speaker 10: And obviously I think in the second half we just
Speaker 10: dialed in and you know, tried to focus on executing,
Speaker 10: like you know, we understood that whatever was happening earlier
Speaker 10: were things.
Speaker 12: That we can control.
Speaker 10: Whether there's a little mistake here, a different step here,
Speaker 10: you know, didn't execute well. So the second half we
Speaker 10: dialed in. The quarterback willed us. He told us all
Speaker 10: lock in, lock in and execution. You know, went from there, What.
Speaker 20: Does it mean to this team to be in the
Speaker 20: AFC title game inhabit at home next week.
Speaker 10: Means a lot we wanted any other way. You know,
Speaker 10: we worked hard for this and.
Speaker 12: You know were prepared for it.
Speaker 4: How does say that Mark said he did a lot
Speaker 4: of cussing at halftime.
Speaker 3: Have you seen him like that this season four?
Speaker 12: It's something in him right now.
Speaker 10: Uh it, It's been in him all year, but there's
Speaker 10: something really in him right now.
Speaker 3: And I'm with it.
Speaker 12: I'm with it.
Speaker 1: W What does that? How does that impact the team
Speaker 1: when your quarterback clearly he cares so much and and
Speaker 1: wants a value.
Speaker 12: To wait the teams?
Speaker 10: I mean we are, uh we are as he goes
Speaker 10: like you know what I'm saying. Like his personality, he
Speaker 10: is the Baltimore Ravens. You know, he leads the right way,
Speaker 10: you know, by example, but also when it's time to talk,
Speaker 10: he it's said and then he executes.
Speaker 12: He does you know.
Speaker 10: He doesn't just talk talk talk and didn't go out
Speaker 10: there and not do nothing. He says what needs to
Speaker 10: be said, then he goes out there and executes.
Speaker 9: Yel So he's been a lot about uh talked about
Speaker 9: Isaiah likely stepping up in mar games.
Speaker 12: Jobson's Uh, obviously.
Speaker 3: The playoffs are just a different stage.
Speaker 12: What do you see from Isaiah today and how he's
Speaker 12: growing developed?
Speaker 10: Man, He's what's awesome about him is, you know, he
Speaker 10: takes advantage of whatever opportunities comes his way. He's not
Speaker 10: gonna have to get a large volume of touches. He's
Speaker 10: gonna make play. And I think that's awesome. You know,
Speaker 10: he's the kind of guy that just you a gamer,
Speaker 10: you know, shooting there, he goes in the end zone again.
Speaker 10: Guy just makes plays. So a lot of respect for him.
Speaker 13: No else you've experienced a Super Bowl run?
Speaker 1: How does that experience and knowing what it takes to
Speaker 1: get there and accomplish it, how does that help you
Speaker 1: and this run?
Speaker 10: I mean, it's my job to try my best to remind,
Speaker 10: you know, the the two younger guys the importance of
Speaker 10: just being present, you know, is you have an opportunity,
Speaker 10: you have to be present.
Speaker 3: It ain't about what the game is.
Speaker 10: It's the fact that you get another game and and
Speaker 10: make the plays one player at a time, and you know,
Speaker 10: and then also if something's not if we don't make
Speaker 10: a play, remind them to just get back up. There
Speaker 10: and bounce back, because that's what it is. You know,
Speaker 10: playoffs is all about just competing. Really, it's the ultimate competition,
Speaker 10: cause stuff's not gonna be perfect.
Speaker 12: Take me through your touchdown and great call.
Speaker 10: I mean, uh, we were we were in a big
Speaker 10: personnel and it ended up working out.
Speaker 13: Of my favorite did you were you the first read
Speaker 13: on that?
Speaker 12: You know, except I'm one of the guys on that one.
Speaker 10: I'm grateful that worked out the way it did.
Speaker 12: Did you see the top ten saying that Odell gablemar
Speaker 12: I ain't see that.
Speaker 8: I need that. I need to see it.
Speaker 12: Odell supposed to be my friend. Why do you give
Speaker 12: me one? I appreciate y'all, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That was wide receiver Nelson Aguilar. We also talked with
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler to take game.
Speaker 12: Where'd you got something to celebris?
Speaker 3: Got your first playoff win?
Speaker 8: You waited a while.
Speaker 3: I was a It feels real good.
Speaker 20: You know, never been able to play this long as
Speaker 20: the season four and you know, really thankful for my teammates.
Speaker 20: You know, we're able to get it done today and
Speaker 20: another big challenge next week.
Speaker 18: You come into a game like this cold weather rush
Speaker 18: for over two hundred yards.
Speaker 2: Is that an old lineman's dream.
Speaker 15: Oh?
Speaker 20: Absolutely, you know, I think we start a little sluggishly
Speaker 20: in the first half, but I mean, we have a
Speaker 20: week off sometimes it happens. It's just proud of our team.
Speaker 20: We were able to, you know, turn it on a
Speaker 20: second half and get down heavy we needed to.
Speaker 2: You're familiar with Lamar Jackson and he continues to do
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything.
Speaker 8: Two touchdown rushes, two touchdown passes.
Speaker 2: That's the type of guy that could lead you all
Speaker 2: the way. What are you saying from him?
Speaker 20: This Year's a special talent. He's a great guy, great leader,
Speaker 20: and you know, just watching him flourish, you know, just
Speaker 20: I think inspires everyone else on the team to have
Speaker 20: push even harder.
Speaker 8: You guys have talked about.
Speaker 2: Being locked in knowing what the.
Speaker 3: Goal is to reach this level.
Speaker 13: AFC title game means what now moving forward for this week?
Speaker 8: I mean, it's an excellent opportunity.
Speaker 20: We know we're gonna have a hell of an opponent
Speaker 20: no matter who is next week, and you know we're
Speaker 20: gonna have to make sure we focus in this week
Speaker 20: and bring our a game because you know, you though
Speaker 20: we had a good hat.
Speaker 3: You know, what we did today won't get it.
Speaker 8: Down next week.
Speaker 1: That was offensive lineman kimn Zeitler, we'll stalk with. Let's
Speaker 1: tackle Ronnie Stanley.
Speaker 5: Did you feel like Russ going that first two quarters?
Speaker 17: You know, nothing I could tell, you know, I think
Speaker 17: we just weren't executing. We weren't doing things on the
Speaker 17: same page. And you know, when you're running offense, you're
Speaker 17: trying to be elite. Everyone's got to be on the
Speaker 17: same page. Everything's got to be sharp, and you know,
Speaker 17: it just took longer than we wanted to get there.
Speaker 13: As animated as you've seen Lamar at halftime.
Speaker 17: Uh yeah, I mean I've seen him animated a lot,
Speaker 17: you know, on the field, halftime, you know, in the
Speaker 17: locker room. But again that's just credit to his competitiveness
Speaker 17: and his just want to win.
Speaker 7: How did you guys tighten up against the Bullets in particular?
Speaker 7: I mean, they're they were sending extra guys on almost
Speaker 7: every drop back in.
Speaker 12: The first time.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I think it's just communication, everyone being on the
Speaker 17: same page, making sure guys knew their keys, knew who
Speaker 17: they had who were reading that stuff. And we just
Speaker 17: went back in made sure we just knew who we
Speaker 17: have and made sure guys when they're on one on.
Speaker 20: One battles, the fourth and one call in your spaces
Speaker 20: you in a mismatched size with the.
Speaker 8: Run right behind it.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean that's just a play that you know,
Speaker 17: we have no running whenever. But you know, I know
Speaker 17: what Mamar's out there in space, you know what he
Speaker 17: likes to do. Get with and you know, get up
Speaker 17: the field and you know, I'm just trying to get
Speaker 17: out there, get in front of my guy and make
Speaker 17: sure that he has you know, a three way.
Speaker 1: Go that was left tackle Ronnie Stanley. Let's slip it
Speaker 1: over to the other side and hear from right tackle
Speaker 1: Morgan Boss.
Speaker 3: Home playoff game in Baltimore. Describe the atmosphere.
Speaker 2: Obviously the result is what you wanted, but.
Speaker 3: Just what the experience was.
Speaker 14: Oh, it's crazy, man. I tell everybody, we have the
Speaker 14: best fans you know, in the NFL. And you see
Speaker 14: that every day, you know, you see you know, the
Speaker 14: opposing offense come in, false start, false started, delay of game.
Speaker 14: That's because our fans, man, you know, we feed off
Speaker 14: of them and they feed off of us.
Speaker 3: And that's why it's so special to play in the
Speaker 3: vang my first half. Obviously the second half was better. Yeah,
Speaker 3: what were you feeling out there in the first half?
Speaker 3: Was it the time off you tell us? You know,
Speaker 3: I think it's just it's us, man.
Speaker 14: Sometimes we just got to get away, get out of
Speaker 14: the way of ourselves and execute it.
Speaker 3: It wasn't anything that they were particularly doing.
Speaker 14: It's just we were making We're making can you know,
Speaker 14: mistakes ourselves, and you see coming into halftime and coming
Speaker 14: back out there, you know, you get due to give
Speaker 14: us a great kickoff return, We get great field, the position,
Speaker 14: and we go down and score.
Speaker 3: And that's what you want as an opening drive.
Speaker 14: That sets the tone for the offense or whoever gets
Speaker 14: the ball first, for our defense to go back out
Speaker 14: there and get us the ball back and go down
Speaker 14: and score again. So I think when you have that
Speaker 14: success coming out in the second half, that's what you
Speaker 14: look forward to.
Speaker 2: You've been ask repeatedly about Lamar Jackson and what it's
Speaker 2: like with him. Are you at this point just expecting
Speaker 2: these things or are you still amazed at what he does?
Speaker 14: I mean, yeah, he's an amazing player and he's one
Speaker 14: of a con man.
Speaker 1: Yo.
Speaker 14: You you don't see anybody y like him in the NFL,
Speaker 14: and the opportunity that he has with the.
Speaker 3: Ball in his hand every play, you just never know.
Speaker 14: So you wanna get down the field and make those blocks, man,
Speaker 14: because I mean, he's one person, one one one move
Speaker 14: from breaking into a touchdown.
Speaker 3: So you know, that's that's what he does.
Speaker 14: And we see it every day in practice, We see
Speaker 14: it every day in in game situations.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's what he brings to the table.
Speaker 13: Well, after you describe what the scene was like in
Speaker 13: here during halftime.
Speaker 3: You know, we knew, we knew what we had to do.
Speaker 14: You know, obviously you know offense going back out there,
Speaker 14: and I think Duve set the tone right away with
Speaker 14: the with the kickoff return, getting us in plus field
Speaker 14: field position, and that's what we you know, when we
Speaker 14: get good fulfils like that, we have.
Speaker 3: To capitalize at our offense. And I think that set
Speaker 3: the tone for us.
Speaker 14: And then we came back and got the ninety five
Speaker 14: yard drive, and I think that was the turning point
Speaker 14: for the game for us, is to go down there
Speaker 14: ninety five yard drive that breaks a defense wheel right there.
Speaker 14: And you know, it took all four quarters for us
Speaker 14: to get there, But that's football.
Speaker 13: After he scored, After Lamar scores, he goes down the tunnel.
Speaker 12: Where where did you end up on in that celebration.
Speaker 3: Somewhere in the somewhere in the tunnel, man.
Speaker 14: But uh, it was a great block by Ronnie being
Speaker 14: out in space and stealing the d N.
Speaker 3: And then obviously Lamar in his hand is magic man.
Speaker 14: So anytime you have the opportunity with him and the ball,
Speaker 14: with the ball in his hand, you know something great's
Speaker 14: gonna happen.
Speaker 5: Lamar said he got a little active in a year.
Speaker 3: At halftime, How was that Did that help you guys
Speaker 3: get going?
Speaker 14: No, for sure, man, because it was nothing that you know,
Speaker 14: we we we you know, ask players. It was nothing
Speaker 14: that they did to stop us if we had to
Speaker 14: get out of our way. And like I said, you
Speaker 14: know we got we were getting the ball. Second half.
Speaker 14: Dou set us up with a great, great field position.
Speaker 14: And anytime you get great field position like that, you
Speaker 14: have to put points on the board. And I think
Speaker 14: that was you know, one of the turning points of
Speaker 14: the game is come back out second half, drive the
Speaker 14: ball down, get that touchdown. And then we think we
Speaker 14: followed it with a ninety five yard touchdown after that,
Speaker 14: So that's what you want, and you know that breaks
Speaker 14: the defense wheel right there when you come out second
Speaker 14: half and you're able to smack him in the face
Speaker 14: like that.
Speaker 15: Morgan, you know as well as anybody how rare playoff
Speaker 15: wins are for anybody. Of course, I was talking to Zeiser.
Speaker 15: This is his first ever if he's been the league
Speaker 15: twelve mine too. Okay, So what is the what is
Speaker 15: the the you're still locked in, you got bigger goals. Yeah,
Speaker 15: how can you celebrate.
Speaker 1: This and maintain what it means now to be in
Speaker 1: an AFC title game?
Speaker 14: I mean, obviously you want to celebrate it because it's
Speaker 14: a big accomplishment. But we're not done yet, you know,
Speaker 14: you know we want to get too far ahead of ourselves,
Speaker 14: but we know there's still work to do. Obviously, you know,
Speaker 14: we didn't play a complete game, but we did what
Speaker 14: we need to do to get the win. And there's
Speaker 14: a lot of things for us to correct individually and
Speaker 14: as an offense.
Speaker 3: And overall that's what we look to strive for. So
Speaker 3: we're not done yet. We got to go back to
Speaker 3: the office and correct some things.
Speaker 14: See how we can start faster in the in the
Speaker 14: first half, and continue starting faster and continue starting fast
Speaker 14: in the second half because those the turning points of
Speaker 14: the out of the game right there, Thank you, no problem.
Speaker 1: That was right tackle Morgan Moses. And lastly we heard
Speaker 1: from a running back, Justice Hill.
Speaker 4: Part team that has been so strong against the run
Speaker 4: this year, what do you think really worked, especially in
Speaker 4: that second half, just grinding them out and killing time.
Speaker 9: I mean offensive line, man, we got some dogs in front,
Speaker 9: those aut dogs and whenever they get in that mindset
Speaker 9: of yo, were about to run this thing, and we
Speaker 9: run that thing. And uh man, I wouldn't want to
Speaker 9: run behind any other lines than those guys, man, because
Speaker 9: they make it easy for.
Speaker 12: Me and for the other rbs.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think we were just being asked about it,
Speaker 4: but we heard Lamar was saying some fiery things in
Speaker 4: the locker room at halftime of what what you kind
Speaker 4: of see out of him in getting the team and
Speaker 4: where it needed to be for the second.
Speaker 9: And he wants to win, you know, I mean, we
Speaker 9: all want to win. So I mean basically what he says,
Speaker 9: the game is tied.
Speaker 12: And the zero zero, so let's go out there and
Speaker 12: put what we know, we know we can do. Let's
Speaker 12: put it all together and let's go out there and win.
Speaker 12: And that's what we did.
Speaker 4: Guys have been talking about Lamar's you know, different approach
Speaker 4: to just how locked he and he's spend this week.
Speaker 12: Did you see it in this game as well?
Speaker 8: In what ways do you think it?
Speaker 1: Really? I've been seeing it.
Speaker 9: All year play literally all year. Whenever we're up, we're
Speaker 9: not excited about it. I mean, he's not gonna be
Speaker 9: excited about anything until we.
Speaker 12: Get that super Bowl run. So that that permeates throughout
Speaker 12: the entire team.
Speaker 9: And shoot me too, you know, I'm ready to get
Speaker 9: that win and keep winning next week and then go
Speaker 9: ahead and get that super Boy.
Speaker 12: How'd you see Lamar sort of that focal and that
Speaker 12: you know there's some there obviously.
Speaker 3: Did you see him like that at all before the half?
Speaker 9: Not really actually, man, I mean he's always kind of
Speaker 9: a calm, mellow guy and go out there and ball,
Speaker 9: but yeah, ultimility, kind of mellow. But yeah, man, the
Speaker 9: team will rally off him and when he whenever he speaks.
Speaker 12: You know, everybody listens.
Speaker 8: And so that's what we did.
Speaker 9: Manage went out there second half because it was a
Speaker 9: totally different ball game.
Speaker 4: The last few weeks, you guys have been been hearing
Speaker 4: a lot of questions about twenty nineteen and the differences
Speaker 4: in this team. Does it feel good to kind of
Speaker 4: get past this stage and answer some of these questions?
Speaker 9: I guess so, I mean, we just want to win,
Speaker 9: so uh yeah, Tony nineteen came out short, but I
Speaker 9: mean it's totally twenty three.
Speaker 12: And then we were going right a different story.
Speaker 4: How much you seem to be a drug to start
Speaker 4: the summer half kind of energize you particular, so we
Speaker 4: don't win down to.
Speaker 9: This, Yeah, I mean this game is a by momentum,
Speaker 9: and dude came out. We d the special Team's unit
Speaker 9: and we blocked. He went out, got his fidrs and
Speaker 9: so and it just carried.
Speaker 12: On, you know, and then we just didn't stop from there.
Speaker 13: Just as you seem to be running the ball really
Speaker 13: well right now, what is working for you.
Speaker 12: Oh line man?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 9: Everybody doing anything, everybody's taking accountability, doing their part, and
Speaker 9: I'm just doing off.
Speaker 13: You got a lot of questions about Lamar and this
Speaker 13: means a lot to everybody. It seemed like he wants
Speaker 13: to win, so bad. How does that train and carry
Speaker 13: over to the rest of the team.
Speaker 12: I mean it's a huge deal. I mean because it
Speaker 12: shows that these little winds.
Speaker 9: So I'm not gonna say little wins, but wins along
Speaker 9: the way don't matter at all until we get to
Speaker 9: that big thing.
Speaker 12: And so that keeps everybody humble, keep everybody just hungry,
Speaker 12: you know. And so we're just hungry until we get
Speaker 12: to the end.
Speaker 1: Just you guys said, the best rushing attack in the
Speaker 1: league all year, and you come into the playoffs and run.
Speaker 4: For two hundred and twenty nine yards and as gonna statement,
Speaker 4: does that make?
Speaker 3: And how much confidence do you guys know?
Speaker 2: Like we're gonna run on anybody right now?
Speaker 12: I mean, just a credit to the old line man.
Speaker 12: They do their thing weekend and week out. They work.
Speaker 12: Nobody work as hard as those guys.
Speaker 9: And whenever it gets to the time we're just trying
Speaker 9: to run the ball, that's when they put them on
Speaker 9: their hard hats and you get after it.
Speaker 12: And I'm just glad I get to run behind those guys. Man,
Speaker 12: so they make it very easy for me and the
Speaker 12: other guys.
Speaker 1: It's clearly a fired up locker room after the win
Speaker 1: but the Ravens maintained their focus. They are not getting
Speaker 1: too high after this game because they know that they
Speaker 1: need to stay locked in and get them win next
