00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Raves Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens have

00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: an AFC North matchup this weekend. They're heading on the

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: road to face off with the Cleveland Browns. As they

4
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: get ready for that game, today we heard from head

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: coach John Harbaugh.

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: Okay, good seeing everybody. Appreciate you guys being here, beautiful day,

7
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: good practice. We have a lot on our plate and

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: we're you know, you guys have done a good job.

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: It's been a good week of practice, very focused week.

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: We've got to try to go out there and Sunday

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: and put our best foot forward and play our best game.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: That's what we'll be striving to do. What questions you have, John,

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: With Marland.

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: Not really practicing at all this week, we kind of

15
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: think his chances are from Sunday.

16
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: I think we'll find out as we get closer to Sunday,

17
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: get through the injury report today, and then to see

18
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,560
Speaker 2: where we are on Sunday with really all those guys.

19
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: John.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: On the flip side, how excited are you to get

21
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: Arthur Molett back given some of the guys banged up

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: in the secondary and knowing what he did for you

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: guys last year defensively Arthur's done a great job of

24
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: working hard. You know, he's he's been out for a while.

25
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: It's been he's been chomping at the bit. He's uh,

26
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: he's been anxious and uh he's uh, he's worked hard.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: So we'll see how it looks and see how he

28
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 2: looks and looking forward, Tony. Anybody that we have that

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: healthy and wants to play and it's a good player,

30
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: we like to have him out there. John, John, there

31
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: is a report while we were while you guys are

32
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: out there, that Rokwan was fine.

33
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 4: I guess for the for that in the game.

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 2: We didn't chose to ask you about that on Wednesday.

35
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: What did what did you make of that play?

36
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: Did you did you see any element of a hip

37
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: drop when you look at that on film? I mean,

38
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: what was your Yeah, I mean you can parse all that.

39
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: It's it becomes really fine. It's fine tuning, you know,

40
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: to determine those things. So I think they'll look at

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure they look at every element of that, and

42
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure there'll be continued conversation on that. But just

43
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: as far as as Rogue goes, you know, Rose fighting

44
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: to go make a tackle there, we're trying to get

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: off the field. We're trying to get out of the

46
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: game with a victory, and he would never do anything. Well,

47
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 2: Number one, he would never do anything to hurt another player.

48
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: I think everybody knows that. And he would never do

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: anything that's outside the rules, and everybody knows that. That's

50
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: how he plays. So he tries to do it according

51
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: to the rules, just like all our guys do. I

52
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: think Kyle showed that too with that hit you know,

53
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: downfield in the on the on the receiver. You try

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: to do it as best you can within the rules.

55
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: John. Obviously that type of tackle isn't being coached. It

56
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: seems more instinctial than anything. How tough is it to

57
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: kind of take it out of the game. I know

58
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: that's what the league wants.

59
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm not really not probably the place

60
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: right now in my mind right now to have that

61
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 2: whole debate and conversation. We had that conversation you know,

62
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: in the off season, and there's a lot of ins

63
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: and outs to it, but right now, you know, for me,

64
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: for Row, for all the guys, just try to do

65
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: the best you can to play within the rules, you know,

66
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 2: and do it the right way, and the effective way,

67
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: and you know, the fundamentally sound way and the safe way.

68
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what we try always to do

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: our best at Johnny.

70
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 5: Think that Jalen could come back with without a lot

71
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 5: of RUSS after missing that.

72
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of possibilities for who could

73
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 2: be active on Sunday and playing, you know, So we'll

74
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: be working through that for sure. Got forty eight hours.

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: Really it's a little less than forty eight now, it's

76
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 2: about forty seven hours and fifty minutes. You know, we'll

77
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: probably be able to work all that out by game time, hopefully.

78
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 3: With you working with what you saw from Keaton Mitchell

79
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: about this.

80
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: Week, Yeah, I think it's good to have Keaton back

81
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: and he's ramping up.

82
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 4: Likewise, I'm having Zay back.

83
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: How much does that you know? Yeah?

84
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: How much does that help for the offense?

85
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? Self evident probably answer. You know, I mean Zay

86
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: being back, if he's back, would be awesome. You know,

87
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: he's a big part of what we do for sure.

88
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: John Marlin's injury aside, how impressed you've been within this season, uh, Marlin?

89
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: How impressive I've been with Marlin? Yeah, I've been very impressed.

90
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I you know, just the thing

91
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: about that game last week was the fact that, and

92
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: this is true really of any game, you know, you

93
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: got to step up and make plays at some point

94
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: in time just get stopped. Somebody's got to make some

95
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: kind of play. You gotta make a tackle at least

96
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: a sack, a sack, fumble, turn on an interception or

97
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: recovered fumble, a fourth down stop, a third down stop.

98
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: You know, all those things are playmaking things. So Marlin

99
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: made two huge plays in that game. You know, it's

100
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: probably indicative of heighs played all year. He's not perfect,

101
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: he wants to get better. We're all chasing improvement every

102
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 2: single day. But you know that was that was huge

103
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 2: for us.

104
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: We also heard from a wide receiver or shot.

105
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 3: Baby, we're starting to see your impact show up on

106
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: a more consistent basis. I mean, how do you feel

107
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: right now in terms of your game compared to this

108
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: point of your career.

109
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 5: I'm blessed, you know, I feel good, but you know,

110
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 5: always hungry for more. I'm just following the leader of

111
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: Lamar right now. You know, we only on what we

112
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 5: ate right now. It's a long season. We're trying to

113
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 5: get back to the RIC Championship. So you know, I'm

114
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: thankful and them blessed, but you know, my main goal

115
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 5: is winning more games.

116
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: Is there a different vibe in this locker room considering

117
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: how far you guys did go last year and you're

118
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: right back in the thick of things again this year.

119
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 3: What what's kind of the tone right now compared to

120
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 3: maybe where you guys were last year?

121
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: It definitely it, It's definitely you know, the same, you know,

122
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 5: as far as the vibe. But this team does a

123
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 5: good job, you know, separating the two seasons. You know,

124
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: last year, you know what we did don't carry over

125
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 5: into this year. And you know we done a good job,

126
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 5: but keeping them too separated and just coming to work

127
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 5: every day and and showing up, you know, putting the hours.

128
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 5: They relate to the guys that were here last year

129
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 5: know what winning feels like, and the leaders that we

130
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 5: have on this team. So they done a a good

131
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 5: job of you know, sharing what they know how to

132
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 5: continue to win games.

133
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: You guys have another dominant Russian attack again this year.

134
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: Now Derrick Henry is a part of that. H I

135
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: do you notice as a receiver how difficult it is

136
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: for defenses to try to stop you guys.

137
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: I mean I would, I would definitely assume it. It's

138
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 5: probably hard. It's a lot of a lot of weapons

139
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: you gotta think about, especially with the run game doing

140
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 5: what it's doing in the past game do what it's doing,

141
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 5: and and you gotta account for a la more so.

142
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,799
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just glad I'm not a defensive coordinator

143
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 5: because I don't know how we'll do it right now.

144
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 4: So see them?

145
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: Is the big play? Like a point menis that you

146
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: actually hit it in Sunday's game?

147
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 3: It is?

148
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: Are those big plays?

149
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: Something that are forts is you want to see him.

150
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 5: We want every play to be a big play. So

151
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 5: you know, e every run that's called, every you know

152
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: past no matter what it is, you know, our job

153
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 5: is to turn it into a big play. Uh. It

154
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: might not happen every time, but that's the goal of

155
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 5: every play. So hopefully, you know, we can make every

156
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: play a big play.

157
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: We saw the the uh the scramble drill last week

158
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: where Lamar was kind of directing you. You called it.

159
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: How talk to me about the feel of those plays

160
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: where you had to have to know where he's going.

161
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: He has a sense of of where you are when

162
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: the play breaks down.

163
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 5: I've been able to put in those hours with him

164
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 5: and like learn how you play football, and it's been

165
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 5: it's been carrying over like that kind of.

166
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 3: Speak to where the chemistry is between YouTube right now

167
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 3: hit on a play like that on.

168
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 5: Scramble, Yeah, I mean, I mean we can call it

169
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 5: chemistry or we can call it unavailability. I I haven't

170
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 5: been available for Lamar you though, and be able to

171
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 5: be comfortable with me in those situations. And I am

172
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 5: on the field more. I'm getting more targets than I

173
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 5: ever have, you know, since I've been in the league.

174
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: So I think that's kind of bound to happen at

175
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: some point.

176
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: Did you guys see the difference in coverage, because, uh,

177
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: you fels have to, especially the safeties that have to

178
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: play up a little more now.

179
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I just feel like we see a lot

180
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 5: of different things just because you know, we do have

181
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: a lot of weapons and it's a lot of different

182
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 5: ways you can play us, and it's not just one

183
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: best way to play us. So you know, everybody's gonna

184
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: give us the best shot, you know, and give us

185
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 5: you know, exotic defenses, you know, weekend and week out,

186
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 5: But it all starts from the more I get done

187
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 5: a good job of dissecting everything and breaking it all down.

188
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 5: And yeah, you know, uh hopefully we continue to do

189
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 5: that trying.

190
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 4: You had to deal with a lot of criticism just

191
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 4: from your availability standpoint, as you said, and just uh

192
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: connection with Lamar wasn't always where it was for you

193
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: to have this kind of season, to start breaking out

194
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: over the past few games and demonstrate more over the.

195
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 3: Course of the season.

196
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: Just is there a satisfaction for you?

197
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: And not right now? It was so bad that all

198
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: I can do is just want more, you know, for

199
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: the team and for myself. And I've always been, you know,

200
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 5: confident in what I can do my abilities, But I

201
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 5: don't know why I got hurt in the past. It

202
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 5: really wasn't nothing that I could even do to prevent,

203
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 5: you know, eat the injuries that happened to me. So

204
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 5: you know, right now, I'm just you know, thankful, but

205
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: you know, just being a competitor and just coming to

206
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: work every day, you know, not trying to get complacent.
