0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Raves Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens have

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>an AFC North matchup this weekend. They're heading on the

0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:11.440
<v Speaker 1>road to face off with the Cleveland Browns. As they

0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.360
<v Speaker 1>get ready for that game, today we heard from head

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>coach John Harbaugh.

0:00:18.840 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good seeing everybody. Appreciate you guys being here, beautiful day,

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 2>good practice. We have a lot on our plate and

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:27.880
<v Speaker 2>we're you know, you guys have done a good job.

0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It's been a good week of practice, very focused week.

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:33.440
<v Speaker 2>We've got to try to go out there and Sunday

0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 2>and put our best foot forward and play our best game.

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 2>That's what we'll be striving to do. What questions you have, John,

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 2>With Marland.

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Not really practicing at all this week, we kind of

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 3>think his chances are from Sunday.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I think we'll find out as we get closer to Sunday,

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.400
<v Speaker 2>get through the injury report today, and then to see

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>where we are on Sunday with really all those guys.

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 1>John.

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>On the flip side, how excited are you to get

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Arthur Molett back given some of the guys banged up

0:00:57.800 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 2>in the secondary and knowing what he did for you

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 2>guys last year defensively Arthur's done a great job of

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 2>working hard. You know, he's he's been out for a while.

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 2>It's been he's been chomping at the bit. He's uh,

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>he's been anxious and uh he's uh, he's worked hard.

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see how it looks and see how he

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 2>looks and looking forward, Tony. Anybody that we have that

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>healthy and wants to play and it's a good player,

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 2>we like to have him out there. John, John, there

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 2>is a report while we were while you guys are

0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>out there, that Rokwan was fine.

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 4>I guess for the for that in the game.

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.680
<v Speaker 2>We didn't chose to ask you about that on Wednesday.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>What did what did you make of that play?

0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you did you see any element of a hip

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 2>drop when you look at that on film? I mean,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.200
<v Speaker 2>what was your Yeah, I mean you can parse all that.

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 2>It's it becomes really fine. It's fine tuning, you know,

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.080
<v Speaker 2>to determine those things. So I think they'll look at

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they look at every element of that, and

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there'll be continued conversation on that. But just

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 2>as far as as Rogue goes, you know, Rose fighting

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>to go make a tackle there, we're trying to get

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.000
<v Speaker 2>off the field. We're trying to get out of the

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>game with a victory, and he would never do anything. Well,

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Number one, he would never do anything to hurt another player.

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody knows that. And he would never do

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 2>anything that's outside the rules, and everybody knows that. That's

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>how he plays. So he tries to do it according

0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 2>to the rules, just like all our guys do. I

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>think Kyle showed that too with that hit you know,

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.520
<v Speaker 2>downfield in the on the on the receiver. You try

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 2>to do it as best you can within the rules.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>John. Obviously that type of tackle isn't being coached. It

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 3>seems more instinctial than anything. How tough is it to

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.200
<v Speaker 3>kind of take it out of the game. I know

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>that's what the league wants.

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I'm not really not probably the place

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 2>right now in my mind right now to have that

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>whole debate and conversation. We had that conversation you know,

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>in the off season, and there's a lot of ins

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and outs to it, but right now, you know, for me,

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>for Row, for all the guys, just try to do

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.000
<v Speaker 2>the best you can to play within the rules, you know,

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and do it the right way, and the effective way,

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>and you know, the fundamentally sound way and the safe way.

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's that's what we try always to do

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>our best at Johnny.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 5>Think that Jalen could come back with without a lot

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 5>of RUSS after missing that.

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I think there's a lot of possibilities for who could

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 2>be active on Sunday and playing, you know, So we'll

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>be working through that for sure. Got forty eight hours.

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Really it's a little less than forty eight now, it's

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 2>about forty seven hours and fifty minutes. You know, we'll

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 2>probably be able to work all that out by game time, hopefully.

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.600
<v Speaker 3>With you working with what you saw from Keaton Mitchell

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 3>about this.

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.959
<v Speaker 2>Week, Yeah, I think it's good to have Keaton back

0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and he's ramping up.

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 4>Likewise, I'm having Zay back.

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.720
<v Speaker 1>How much does that you know? Yeah?

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 4>How much does that help for the offense?

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Self evident probably answer. You know, I mean Zay

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.240
<v Speaker 2>being back, if he's back, would be awesome. You know,

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.080
<v Speaker 2>he's a big part of what we do for sure.

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>John Marlin's injury aside, how impressed you've been within this season, uh, Marlin?

0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>How impressive I've been with Marlin? Yeah, I've been very impressed.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you know, I you know, just the thing

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 2>about that game last week was the fact that, and

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>this is true really of any game, you know, you

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.200
<v Speaker 2>got to step up and make plays at some point

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 2>in time just get stopped. Somebody's got to make some

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>kind of play. You gotta make a tackle at least

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>a sack, a sack, fumble, turn on an interception or

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 2>recovered fumble, a fourth down stop, a third down stop.

0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, all those things are playmaking things. So Marlin

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.600
<v Speaker 2>made two huge plays in that game. You know, it's

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 2>probably indicative of heighs played all year. He's not perfect,

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 2>he wants to get better. We're all chasing improvement every

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.239
<v Speaker 2>single day. But you know that was that was huge

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>for us.

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.120
<v Speaker 1>We also heard from a wide receiver or shot.

0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:37.279
<v Speaker 3>Baby, we're starting to see your impact show up on

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 3>a more consistent basis. I mean, how do you feel

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>right now in terms of your game compared to this

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 3>point of your career.

0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 5>I'm blessed, you know, I feel good, but you know,

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 5>always hungry for more. I'm just following the leader of

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 5>Lamar right now. You know, we only on what we

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 5>ate right now. It's a long season. We're trying to

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:55.600
<v Speaker 5>get back to the RIC Championship. So you know, I'm

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 5>thankful and them blessed, but you know, my main goal

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:58.400
<v Speaker 5>is winning more games.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:02.240
<v Speaker 3>Is there a different vibe in this locker room considering

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.000
<v Speaker 3>how far you guys did go last year and you're

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 3>right back in the thick of things again this year.

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.359
<v Speaker 3>What what's kind of the tone right now compared to

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe where you guys were last year?

0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:14.320
<v Speaker 5>It definitely it, It's definitely you know, the same, you know,

0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 5>as far as the vibe. But this team does a

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 5>good job, you know, separating the two seasons. You know,

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 5>last year, you know what we did don't carry over

0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 5>into this year. And you know we done a good job,

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 5>but keeping them too separated and just coming to work

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:26.919
<v Speaker 5>every day and and showing up, you know, putting the hours.

0:05:26.920 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 5>They relate to the guys that were here last year

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 5>know what winning feels like, and the leaders that we

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:34.040
<v Speaker 5>have on this team. So they done a a good

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.039
<v Speaker 5>job of you know, sharing what they know how to

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 5>continue to win games.

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>You guys have another dominant Russian attack again this year.

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Now Derrick Henry is a part of that. H I

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 3>do you notice as a receiver how difficult it is

0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 3>for defenses to try to stop you guys.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 5>I mean I would, I would definitely assume it. It's

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 5>probably hard. It's a lot of a lot of weapons

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.000
<v Speaker 5>you gotta think about, especially with the run game doing

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 5>what it's doing in the past game do what it's doing,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.560
<v Speaker 5>and and you gotta account for a la more so.

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.799
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm just glad I'm not a defensive coordinator

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 5>because I don't know how we'll do it right now.

0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:06.080
<v Speaker 4>So see them?

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Is the big play? Like a point menis that you

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>actually hit it in Sunday's game?

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 3>It is?

0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Are those big plays?

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Something that are forts is you want to see him.

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 5>We want every play to be a big play. So

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, e every run that's called, every you know

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 5>past no matter what it is, you know, our job

0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:23.320
<v Speaker 5>is to turn it into a big play. Uh. It

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 5>might not happen every time, but that's the goal of

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 5>every play. So hopefully, you know, we can make every

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 5>play a big play.

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>We saw the the uh the scramble drill last week

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>where Lamar was kind of directing you. You called it.

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>How talk to me about the feel of those plays

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:37.440
<v Speaker 1>where you had to have to know where he's going.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>He has a sense of of where you are when

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the play breaks down.

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 5>I've been able to put in those hours with him

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 5>and like learn how you play football, and it's been

0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 5>it's been carrying over like that kind of.

0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.799
<v Speaker 3>Speak to where the chemistry is between YouTube right now

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 3>hit on a play like that on.

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 5>Scramble, Yeah, I mean, I mean we can call it

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.479
<v Speaker 5>chemistry or we can call it unavailability. I I haven't

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 5>been available for Lamar you though, and be able to

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 5>be comfortable with me in those situations. And I am

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 5>on the field more. I'm getting more targets than I

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 5>ever have, you know, since I've been in the league.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 5>So I think that's kind of bound to happen at

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 5>some point.

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys see the difference in coverage, because, uh,

0:07:15.520 --> 0:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>you fels have to, especially the safeties that have to

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>play up a little more now.

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I just feel like we see a lot

0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 5>of different things just because you know, we do have

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 5>a lot of weapons and it's a lot of different

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 5>ways you can play us, and it's not just one

0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 5>best way to play us. So you know, everybody's gonna

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 5>give us the best shot, you know, and give us

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 5>you know, exotic defenses, you know, weekend and week out,

0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 5>But it all starts from the more I get done

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 5>a good job of dissecting everything and breaking it all down.

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, you know, uh hopefully we continue to do

0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:40.800
<v Speaker 5>that trying.

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 4>You had to deal with a lot of criticism just

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 4>from your availability standpoint, as you said, and just uh

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 4>connection with Lamar wasn't always where it was for you

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 4>to have this kind of season, to start breaking out

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 4>over the past few games and demonstrate more over the.

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>Course of the season.

0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.600
<v Speaker 4>Just is there a satisfaction for you?

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 5>And not right now? It was so bad that all

0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 5>I can do is just want more, you know, for

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 5>the team and for myself. And I've always been, you know,

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 5>confident in what I can do my abilities, But I

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 5>don't know why I got hurt in the past. It

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 5>really wasn't nothing that I could even do to prevent,

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, eat the injuries that happened to me. So

0:08:22.040 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, right now, I'm just you know, thankful, but

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, just being a competitor and just coming to

0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 5>work every day, you know, not trying to get complacent.
