0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The Ravens are

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.399
<v Speaker 1>gearing up for a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on

0:00:08.680 --> 0:00:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Sunday in Pittsburgh. This is a big AFC North showdown

0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.920
<v Speaker 1>between the top two teams in the division. The Steelers

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:16.959
<v Speaker 1>are currently leading the way in the division, sitting at

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>seven and two and the Ravens are seven and three

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.479
<v Speaker 1>on the year. Kickoff on Sunday is at one o'clock

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and as the Ravens prepare for that matchup, today, we

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.320
<v Speaker 1>had a chance to hear from head coach John Harbaugh.

0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Good seeing everybody, appreciate everybody being here. What questions you

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 2>have John?

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 3>With Kyles Wednesday practice companies great film, pretty optimistic about Kyle.

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 3>I am John Worth let after practice yesterday was seen

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 3>as walking boo.

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 4>He rowsn't out here practice today just for company.

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:53.239
<v Speaker 5>Give any information regarding that?

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh No, I don't have any information on that. We

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 2>just got to see where we go with that, Great.

0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 5>John.

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.319
<v Speaker 3>One thing that Pittsburgh defense has done particularly well this

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 3>year has been a really limited scrambled I saw a

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 3>stat that they've only given up I take three scrambles

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.240
<v Speaker 3>for twelve yards. You guys have done very well in

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 3>that department, going up against the mobile quarterbacks as well.

0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 3>What's the key to when you're going up against the

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.120
<v Speaker 3>quarterback who can move around getting pressure but not letting

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 3>them get it?

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>You got it? Just do a good job or getting

0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 2>the guy, you know, And there's techniques involved in terms

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.559
<v Speaker 2>that we use for different guys, and there's different games

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>and things you can use. I mean, Pittsburgh's good at it.

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 2>They've got really good pass rushures. I think those guys,

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, between Watt and her Big this week, you know,

0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 2>he does a great job. And they brought in Presston Smith.

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:40.840
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's a good addition. I think their tackles

0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 2>do a good job inside, you know, pressing the pocket

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 2>and they shed blocks well. I mean, you know, Heyward's

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 2>still a force in there. So like I think they

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>do a good job with that.

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:51.040
<v Speaker 4>So now that you've had a.

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Week of practice with them, what have you learned about

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 2>your maybe as late good football player, a great guy.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I've learned that you know, he picks things up quickly,

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 2>So very happy with him.

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>In the locker room today, we also heard from safety

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Hamilton. He went down with an ankle injury. In

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>the game against the Bengals last week, but he returned

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.360
<v Speaker 1>to practice on Thursday and practice again on Friday. He

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.679
<v Speaker 1>talked reporters about his status and how he's feeling going

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>into this game.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 6>Did the guy clipped the back of your fleet and

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 6>it was hard to tell whether he actually clipped you out?

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think I saw the video. I think he

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 4>clipped me. I just felt pain, and I was initially

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.760
<v Speaker 4>scared because, like I've heard everybody talk about, like how

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 4>when you're do an achilles it feels like you get

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 4>stepped on or something like that, and so I felt

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 4>I think he stepping on his foot, But luckily it

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 4>wasn't anything like that.

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 6>I think a lot of people marvel it just how

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 6>quickly you're able to get back out there. You know,

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:49.160
<v Speaker 6>a lot of the layman twists and ankle now a month.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 6>What is it for you? How are you able to

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.520
<v Speaker 6>do this? And is it a mentality thing? Is it

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 6>a physical thing? What is it?

0:02:56.000 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 4>I think it's a little bit both. I think, you know,

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 4>if I'm able to play, I'm gonna play and playing

0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 4>through pain or whatever, not saying that I am right now,

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 4>but I think it's important. You know, we only get

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 4>a handful of these games. It's not like we're in

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.920
<v Speaker 4>the MLB or NBA. Every single one of these counts,

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.800
<v Speaker 4>especially this one a division opponent on the road, So

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 4>I wanna be available as much as possible for my team.

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 4>And I think I was just raised to you know,

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 4>if you're if you can go, go, so do that.

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 3>At what point did you kind of comfortable, uh turning

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 3>point whether or whatever?

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 5>Or you?

0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think over the the long weekend, which helped

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 4>a ton, I think for this healing process. You know,

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.600
<v Speaker 4>I was just playing a waiting games, just doing what

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 4>I need to do coming in here, and you know,

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 4>it got better every day and you know, making little

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 4>strides and can't get frustrated with it. I know it

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 4>was kind of a quick turnaround for the injury, but

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, no, I think I was just trusting the process,

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 4>trusting the trainers, and they got me.

0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 4>Kyle, here, do you expect for you up there? It's

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 4>too early to know expect there. Now I'm gonna be

0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:02.880
<v Speaker 4>out there.

0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Wow, Pittsburgh's kind of had your guys number a little

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 5>bit more than usual the last few years. A lot

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.200
<v Speaker 5>of nuance that explains that meaningless games, you know, lamar

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 5>resting some games as well. But that said, how much

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.599
<v Speaker 5>motivation is there just knowing how important this game is

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 5>in terms of the standings, but also because they are

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 5>one of your biggest rivals.

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think we we approached this week a little

0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 4>different just because of you know, the history that's there,

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 4>and I think both sides respect both sides and it

0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:31.599
<v Speaker 4>makes for a good game every time. So, you know,

0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>I think we're excited to go out there and with

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 4>the standings how they are right now, obviously it's a

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 4>big game, but if both teams are oh intended its,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.080
<v Speaker 4>it'll be a big game. So I think it's it's

0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:42.080
<v Speaker 4>fun to play in, fun to be part of and uh,

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 4>scot out there and try to good w I it

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:45.000
<v Speaker 4>sounded like.

0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 6>There was a pretty spirited film review.

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.599
<v Speaker 3>Meeting on Tuesday.

0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 6>How is it different from just the usual game the year?

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:54.320
<v Speaker 4>Are you talking about this past week?

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:54.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think you know, it was nothing crazy or

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 4>anything like that. I think you know, everybody's holding each

0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:03.839
<v Speaker 4>other accountable. When guys are taking that well, taking the

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 4>criticism which is positive back and you know, what can

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 4>I do to improve our defense and improve myself which

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 4>will then in turn improve the defense, and everybody's got

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:15.000
<v Speaker 4>to look in the mirror address everything. At this point,

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 4>we still have seven games guaranteed left, so and after that,

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, we're trying to make a Super Bowl run,

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 4>so so a bunch of time left to get everything

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:24.599
<v Speaker 4>straightened out. But you know, I think everybody's excited and

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.359
<v Speaker 4>it's not the opportunity to go on Sunday and just

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>improve ourselves.

0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Right, you're listening to the Ravens Press Pass podcast again.

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 1>Kickoff Sunday is at one o'clock on CBS. Thanks so
