Speaker 1: Welcome to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. The Ravens improved
Speaker 1: the two and two after a dominant thirty five to
Speaker 1: ten win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday Night Football
Speaker 1: at M and T Banks Stadium. The Ravens are now
Speaker 1: in a really good position after taking down a Bill,
Speaker 1: seeing that many people felt coming into this game might
Speaker 1: be the best team in the league. After the game,
Speaker 1: we had a chance to hear from several key players
Speaker 1: and head coach John Harball. So let's kick things off
Speaker 1: with Coach Harball.
Speaker 2: Well, see, well you see what I have to deal
Speaker 2: with every day.
Speaker 3: That's okay.
Speaker 2: I appreciate you, guys. Thanks Dad, Sit down there, Sit
Speaker 2: down there.
Speaker 3: He's leaving. He's leaving. He's so disappointed, you guys. That
Speaker 3: was fun.
Speaker 2: He gave the greatest talk to the team yesterday that
Speaker 2: you ever heard in your life. And it will be
Speaker 2: it'll be recorded, it'll be on the Harball Coaching Academy
Speaker 2: for everybody to see here soon. So here's my plug.
Speaker 2: But congratulations a football team. The football team. I really
Speaker 2: think it shows what a group of men is capable of,
Speaker 2: a group of people is capable of when they just
Speaker 2: put their heads down. They don't worry about what people
Speaker 2: are saying, and they decided that they're gonna go to
Speaker 2: work every day. They're gonna meet, they're gonna work on football,
Speaker 2: and they're gonna practice the way you're supposed to practice.
Speaker 2: And when you do that as a football team, you
Speaker 2: have a chance to improve. And we have done that.
Speaker 2: Now we know we are just getting better. We know
Speaker 2: what's possible, we know what we're capable of. But we
Speaker 2: got a long way to go, and we got a
Speaker 2: lot of work to do. And we're just four games
Speaker 2: in and we got thirteen more regular season games to play,
Speaker 2: and where this season goes is gonna be defined by
Speaker 2: what we do in the next thirteen games plus. But
Speaker 2: I will say the leadership on this team is incredible.
Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton's sitting right over there. Okay, young guy taking
Speaker 2: the reins. Okay, you know all the other guys. You
Speaker 2: know Roe, you know Lamar, you know Mark Andrews, Isaiah
Speaker 2: likely other young guys. Got a bunch of great leaders
Speaker 2: in this team. Guy like Pat McCarry going from right
Speaker 2: tackle to left guard like that and playing the way
Speaker 2: he did.
Speaker 3: These are the kind of things that make a difference.
Speaker 3: So with that, what questions you have?
Speaker 4: You know, the Bills came in undefeated and Josh Allen
Speaker 4: was considered the leading candidate for MVLY. Yeah. I know
Speaker 4: what you mean by like there's time left? But do
Speaker 4: you think this teammated an early statement with how they
Speaker 4: wanted to do.
Speaker 2: I just think our guys are humble and hard working
Speaker 2: and they understand that there's you know, faith, uh is
Speaker 2: is activated by belief, and we got a bunch of
Speaker 2: guys that believe, and they give glory where it's supposed
Speaker 2: to be given. You know, they give glory to God
Speaker 2: and to each other. They work hard and they have
Speaker 2: each other's backs, and that's all it is right now. Okay,
Speaker 2: So whatever else is said or written, it doesn't matter
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, we don't want to listen to
Speaker 2: the good stuff. If there is any good stuff, you're
Speaker 2: not interested in hearing it. You know, we just have
Speaker 2: to go to work. We got a big game next
Speaker 2: week and we gotta get ready for it.
Speaker 3: Coach jag hemert heart ninety nine yards rushing second way,
Speaker 3: You're always in a big game. How comfortable is to
Speaker 3: get in the involve in this offense? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean I think he's really excited about, you know,
Speaker 2: the offense itself. I think Todd Munkin and the offensive coaches,
Speaker 2: Willie Tagger, the running back coach, all of our guys
Speaker 2: have done a great job with kind of working through
Speaker 2: all the details of how to you know, actualize the
Speaker 2: vision the idea. Okay, we could be this, we could
Speaker 2: be that, but you got to put it together. So
Speaker 2: it's starting to come together.
Speaker 5: I think coaching coaching Derek now for four games, do
Speaker 5: you notice something with him pre game different than other
Speaker 5: people you've coached, or like, kind of take us inside
Speaker 5: what you see from him a pre game.
Speaker 6: That into the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's he's a pro. I mean I
Speaker 3: know that. He's a really good guy.
Speaker 2: He's very humble, he's a faith man of faith, he's
Speaker 2: a family man, and.
Speaker 3: He really loves football. And it's all. It's all.
Speaker 2: When he comes he thinks about it. He's driving into
Speaker 2: into work, he thinks about his football. Driving home, he
Speaker 2: thinks about it. He makes a play, he doesn't make
Speaker 2: a play. He wants to learn something about the offense.
Speaker 2: He calls, he texts his coach. It's all he talks
Speaker 2: about is football. It's all he wants to be doing
Speaker 2: when he's at the buildings, do football because it matters
Speaker 2: so much to him. You know, you appreciate that as
Speaker 2: a football coach.
Speaker 4: John Jump talked about some defensive players earlier, but can
Speaker 4: you talk a little about what Travis Jones is giving
Speaker 4: you out there because might not show up in the
Speaker 4: batch sheet see me.
Speaker 6: Playing at a dominant level.
Speaker 2: I agree with that. I thank Travis Jones is playing
Speaker 2: at a dominant level. And y obviously you watch that,
Speaker 2: you watch you. You're you're a front guy. You know
Speaker 2: you always have been, and uh, that's where the game
Speaker 2: is won and lost. Travis Jones is dominating inside.
Speaker 6: Last week you had said you thought maybe all of
Speaker 6: these conservative in the second half. Was there a conscious
Speaker 6: ever to be otherwise today? And how did how do
Speaker 6: you think that played out?
Speaker 3: There was?
Speaker 2: There was and you know they we got the two
Speaker 2: three and outs coming out, which was disappointing, and then
Speaker 2: Kyle Vannoy comes up with a big turnover that Kyle
Speaker 2: had a fabulous game, gets the turnover kind of gets
Speaker 2: just sparked a little bit. Then our offense takes over
Speaker 2: from there and we were we were running the ball.
Speaker 2: I thought very creatively, but also the boots, some of
Speaker 2: the some of the quick play action passes were good
Speaker 2: for us.
Speaker 3: Uh Lamar. Again, it's just been fantastic because you feel like.
Speaker 7: You have an a complete game.
Speaker 6: What it like to get it at home.
Speaker 8: Part of time against a team that had been probably
Speaker 8: the hottest team in football to this point.
Speaker 3: I mean, you do you work for moments like this.
Speaker 2: This is something we will remember, you know, and I
Speaker 2: hope all the fans will remember it, you know. I
Speaker 2: hope they look back at and say, you know, I
Speaker 2: was there that night, and but for us that that's
Speaker 2: important and it is valuable.
Speaker 3: But we have to get ready for next week.
Speaker 2: You know, We've got to go play a division game
Speaker 2: next week on the road in Cincinnati, and that's what
Speaker 2: we've got to get our focus on. So our guys
Speaker 2: will enjoy it, you know, through tomorrow, but they'll be
Speaker 2: back in Tuesday afternoon and it'll be all Cincinnati.
Speaker 7: I like, you guys set the tone from a physicality
Speaker 7: standpoint with that first run from Henry.
Speaker 6: Just what you were able to do in controlling both lines.
Speaker 2: At scrimmage, well, I mean it's just important to block people,
Speaker 2: you know, and I think our guys are doing a
Speaker 2: really good job across the board of blocking the offensive line,
Speaker 2: the tight ends, the wide receivers. You know, Lamar carries
Speaker 2: out his fakes. I just think that's the most important
Speaker 2: part of it I.
Speaker 9: Talked about in Dallas. You know, this is our identity. Obviously,
Speaker 9: you ran the ball well there similar you know performance tonight.
Speaker 9: How much does that say about what the identity of
Speaker 9: this team is moving forward?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Sure, I mean that's that is That's kind of always
Speaker 2: been what we've been about.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: I think if you look back in the history of
Speaker 2: the organization, even before you know, running the ball and
Speaker 2: playing great defense.
Speaker 3: Uh, and then we have weapons. You know, we just
Speaker 3: were blessed with weapons. I mean want of them.
Speaker 2: Just walked in here right now, best weapon in football
Speaker 2: right there, and and everybody rallies around him and he
Speaker 2: distributes to everybody else.
Speaker 3: So that's where it starts. But the run game, yes,
Speaker 3: the run game is massively important to us.
Speaker 5: Henry Henry will obviously be in the headlines. Can you
Speaker 5: speak to how integral Justice Zilla has becomeing to the
Speaker 5: offense And yeah, that seventeen yard game, you know, the
Speaker 5: third down the.
Speaker 2: Question, I mean, yeah, how about the screen the screen
Speaker 2: he took off with early in the game that made
Speaker 2: such a difference. We were we were second or third
Speaker 2: in him forever and he goes and gets it on
Speaker 2: a screen pass. Great screen blocking. Yeah, I was thinking
Speaker 2: Justice Hill has been very integral and I'm really really
Speaker 2: glad we got to resigned, you know, before he broke
Speaker 2: out the last two games.
Speaker 3: So that was that was nice.
Speaker 10: Trying to nasty at homes day because how kind of
Speaker 10: crucial was that cap Mask game between you guys playing heavy?
Speaker 10: I mean, say again, how kind of crucial was the
Speaker 10: cat Nows game between you guys?
Speaker 11: You know, being the team that can line up with
Speaker 11: have a car and a lot of tight ends in
Speaker 11: the field, and then being in the team that prefers
Speaker 11: to play with a lot of speed, a lot of
Speaker 11: later bodies, and what do you kind of expect going
Speaker 11: to this game?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they have a good philosophy, they play
Speaker 2: a great defense doing it. They put a nicco on
Speaker 2: the field, they figure they can they're penetrating for three defense.
Speaker 2: They try to hit gaps and then they fill the
Speaker 2: gaps up on the perimeter, on the edges, and when
Speaker 2: you go big, you've seen them do in the past.
Speaker 2: We played them before with with dbs that show up
Speaker 2: to stop the run. That's what they do and it's worked.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: They try to, you know, horizontally, kind of defend the
Speaker 2: whole field horizontally, and they had the defensive backs as
Speaker 2: you gap out, so but our guys took advantage of
Speaker 2: that because they blocked them. When you block them, that
Speaker 2: makes the difference.
Speaker 3: Great. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Next up is quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 6: Lamar, what do you think a win in this fashion?
Speaker 6: What do you think this this says about the ratings?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 13: I believe cod said at all. You know, out back
Speaker 13: against the wall, we can prevail. You know, we come
Speaker 13: out there and fight. Uh faces played great to night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm all.
Speaker 8: Were you satisfied with the way you guys continue to
Speaker 8: be aggressively even where the league?
Speaker 6: I know that was a issue last point.
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah I was, But I believe uh we was
Speaker 13: sc We scored every possession until I had fumbook and
Speaker 13: that that kind of started our momentum, you know, and
Speaker 13: then they they end up getting invall and a them scoring.
Speaker 3: Uh I was.
Speaker 13: I was checked off about that because, like I said,
Speaker 13: in the NFL a lot of games.
Speaker 3: Is a momentum type of game.
Speaker 13: And and we we go out there, we scored three
Speaker 13: times and then that fuma happened. Uh it slows us down.
Speaker 13: But our defense was playing lights out, you know. Off
Speaker 13: Slone played wonder foot and shout out to Justice Hill
Speaker 13: because I believe, well he on that third down that
Speaker 13: that goes unnoticed, you know, but he that was a
Speaker 13: spectacle of third down for him to make a guy
Speaker 13: miss and getting North up the field.
Speaker 8: It's your trust factor to help you see what you're
Speaker 8: going to him bore or we kind of makes you
Speaker 8: look good every time you go to him.
Speaker 13: I mean, he make itself look good, you know. And
Speaker 13: at the end of the day, you you know, I
Speaker 13: gotta read the coverages and see what the defense do.
Speaker 13: And they they kind of w with Zay running his route.
Speaker 13: They kind of ran into Zay and I just had
Speaker 13: to give him a shot. He caught the ball and
Speaker 13: he did the rest.
Speaker 12: Oh what is this?
Speaker 6: What does a guy like Derrick Derrick Henry do for
Speaker 6: you as a quarterback?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 13: It's man Derrick Henry.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 13: He he opened up the play action game. You know,
Speaker 13: guys running to the ball, trying to stop him from
Speaker 13: getting getting started in the backfield, and uh officer lines
Speaker 13: just did a great job giving uh derrick Lands receivers
Speaker 13: did a great job as well, you know, blocking down
Speaker 13: the field and letting Derrick do his things. Shout out
Speaker 13: to the tight end tight ends as well.
Speaker 11: What ward the same Go back to that first carry
Speaker 11: that you got, that he took to the to the house.
Speaker 11: Did you have any clue, like based on how Buffalo
Speaker 11: lined up or where they aligned that that would be impossible.
Speaker 6: Home Lune touch.
Speaker 13: Uh yeah, Uh, just watching film and just re reading
Speaker 13: the Uh the front kind of knew what the defense
Speaker 13: would do. What like I said, the officer line giving
Speaker 13: him a lane, the receivers, b receivers, the tight ends
Speaker 13: black of don Field, and then they're just doing what
Speaker 13: he do.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 6: Like I said last week.
Speaker 13: I'm like, if he getting the secondary, he pretty much gone,
Speaker 13: you know, and it's hard to catch him cause he's fast.
Speaker 13: He not just a powerful back, he's also fast and
Speaker 13: he showed it on that first first UH possession for
Speaker 13: the offense.
Speaker 14: Mar what can you say about uh protection and UH
Speaker 14: passqualking from your offensive line?
Speaker 15: In more specifically about Patrick mccarrey, who only had ten
Speaker 15: offensive snaps and left guard prior to tonight.
Speaker 13: Yeah, my officer line did great jobs. Uh, two weeks
Speaker 13: back to back. I I believe if we had one
Speaker 13: Saturday night, I believe that was my fault. Uh, I
Speaker 13: believe I shoulda got out of that. But officer line
Speaker 13: did a great job to night. And like I said,
Speaker 13: not just Pat McCarty, but name Fleele as well, you know,
Speaker 13: cause they that's the guy who they were speaking on
Speaker 13: the the most, you know, but just all the guys man,
Speaker 13: they just brought they tail off and they did what
Speaker 13: they supposed to do.
Speaker 12: More.
Speaker 6: We've seen you under center more the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: Talk about how the offensive play.
Speaker 1: Calling has added that end then and your comfort level
Speaker 1: after working out of the shots on the LA a
Speaker 1: lot of the last couple of years.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I like, well coach was doing tonight. You know,
Speaker 13: he he kept the defense honest. Uh, we were going
Speaker 13: to the gun, you know, being on the center, and
Speaker 13: like play action game, the run game. It was just
Speaker 13: good across the board, you know. Uh, Like I said earlier,
Speaker 13: a lot I.
Speaker 1: Speel meat, you've been saying that you didn't you feel
Speaker 1: like you all were playing Ravens football. Did you feel
Speaker 1: like this was the game that.
Speaker 6: Was more characteristic of bringing football in your eyes?
Speaker 13: Oh, yeah, it's the start of it. You know, we
Speaker 13: got to run a game going, you know, but uh,
Speaker 13: the receivers, they they did their part. You know, this
Speaker 13: is the type of game. You know, we had to run,
Speaker 13: run the ball more. You know, they playing too high
Speaker 13: and they were just you know, just did what he
Speaker 13: was supposed to do in the office line as well.
Speaker 13: But our receivers helped us out a lot too.
Speaker 1: We also heard from a safety Kyle Hamilton on the podium.
Speaker 4: Okow after earlier in the weeks about how going against
Speaker 4: a red hot Josh Allen gives you an opportunity to
Speaker 4: prove yourself and felt thought there was a pretty good
Speaker 4: confidence there.
Speaker 6: Do you think you kind of guys fall through that time?
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 17: I think when we get into meetings, uh Tuesday, that
Speaker 17: one long pass on the scrambled drill that's gonna gonna
Speaker 17: eat at us a little bit. But I think we
Speaker 17: played a good game as a whole. Pass rush kept
Speaker 17: him contained for the most part. I thought DB's covered
Speaker 17: really well, even though Nate dropped some money today, But
Speaker 17: you know, I b Steve too, so we got two corporates.
Speaker 17: But but yeah, no, I think it all started up front.
Speaker 16: I think we're controlling a line of scrimmage.
Speaker 17: Really well, Travis Beaks, Brody, all those guys, Herb And
Speaker 17: once you get that shut down, then you know you
Speaker 17: your defensive playbook opens up.
Speaker 16: So Zio could just probably call whatever you wanted to.
Speaker 8: How so much taught this week about finishing games and
Speaker 8: uh nap, letting teams back and like to to get
Speaker 8: full quarters, full quarters of dominant football tonight.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I know it was good. I'm I I I
Speaker 17: can't lie. We we came out of half. I think
Speaker 17: offense went third down the next court touchdowns and everybody's like,
Speaker 17: all right, we don't need to do this again. So
Speaker 17: I think everybody locked in at that point. You know,
Speaker 17: office did their thing, and I think defense settled down.
Speaker 17: You know it was it was a mistake that happened,
Speaker 17: but I think we did get job resetting and then
Speaker 17: you know, doing doing what we need to do to finish.
Speaker 5: Zach has gone to six dvs a lot over the
Speaker 5: last two weeks and into a lot of success.
Speaker 6: I mean, to your mind, is that really worked for
Speaker 6: you guys.
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it's good to be able
Speaker 17: to switch up like that, especially a team like that.
Speaker 16: You know, when they're trying to get back on track.
Speaker 17: It's a lot of pass and get our rush rush
Speaker 17: packages onto the field, you know, create some havoc stuff
Speaker 17: like that, And I think that's what Zo and all
Speaker 17: our coaches are really good at when we get teams
Speaker 17: behind the sticks, having stuff to go in our playbook
Speaker 17: and some crazy pressures and this and that to confuse
Speaker 17: and the other team have looks. But but yeah, that
Speaker 17: dying package, I feel like it's good for us right now.
Speaker 16: But at the same.
Speaker 17: Time, you know, I think our will backers, dining backers,
Speaker 17: trend lead. Everybody's doing their thing at the same time too,
Speaker 17: So if we get away from it one game, then
Speaker 17: I think we'll be just good.
Speaker 1: It feels like the game often it it's a game
Speaker 1: of momentum.
Speaker 14: That that Kyle Van Noise sack, the sack strip.
Speaker 18: Just how much did that dot the team when the
Speaker 18: game was getting.
Speaker 6: A little tighter at that point.
Speaker 17: Yeah, I know, it's it's big to get stops like that.
Speaker 17: You know, offense picks us up a lot and we
Speaker 17: gotta pick them up too if they can't get a
Speaker 17: first down something like that, and we're trying to uh
Speaker 17: two o'clock to you know, get out of here with
Speaker 17: a win, and I think, you know, there's a trick
Speaker 17: play that they It was kind of like the last
Speaker 17: fight I guess they had, so you know, it's trick play,
Speaker 17: looking for looking for a big player, and we end
Speaker 17: up getting a big play. And I think offense went
Speaker 17: down scored after that, so kind of put out that
Speaker 17: fire and we get a win.
Speaker 19: Oh was that a play that you guys have, I mean,
Speaker 19: see a film or anything to that degree, And what
Speaker 19: do you guys think or communicate when you see Allen
Speaker 19: going out wide like that?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 17: No, honestly we hadn't seen it on film or anything
Speaker 17: like that, but you know, they're they were down I
Speaker 17: think two or three scores at that point.
Speaker 16: You know that they could try anything. First.
Speaker 17: In my mind, I'm thinking back to Tennessee and London
Speaker 17: last year when they did the fake reverse with Derek
Speaker 17: and they went like eighty yards or something like that.
Speaker 17: So I think everybody on the right side just making
Speaker 17: sure it's not a fake reverse. And at that point
Speaker 17: DB's in the back end did their job stand deep,
Speaker 17: so you know he kind of got to touch the
Speaker 17: stove one time, then it doesn't happen again.
Speaker 6: What do you think it says about this team?
Speaker 4: To your Bills were considered the hot team football coming
Speaker 4: is Josh Allen MDP and for you to win thirty
Speaker 4: five ten?
Speaker 6: What do you think it says about this team?
Speaker 12: Uh?
Speaker 16: I said, I think it says a lot. But at
Speaker 16: the same time, you know, we didn't win a.
Speaker 17: Super Bowl today, so I'll come out Bengals next week
Speaker 17: and the division game Bengals, Right, Yeah, Bengals next.
Speaker 16: Week, division game going on the road. Uh.
Speaker 17: Big win for us today, but you know we gotta
Speaker 17: move forward to next week. And it's only week four
Speaker 17: and we're trying to get to what we need to
Speaker 17: get to. We didn't get to last year, so we
Speaker 17: got a long road ahead of us. But I think
Speaker 17: we're gonna get pas.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 7: You and Marlin made a bunch of plays, physical tackles,
Speaker 7: playing scrimming as a defense. Did you guys talk about
Speaker 7: playing with a certain level of physicality. I know that's
Speaker 7: you know, something that rages vision themselves doing.
Speaker 6: And do you think that war on them after a
Speaker 6: little while in this game.
Speaker 16: Yeah, I think we talk about that every day.
Speaker 17: I've been hearing that since day win Rickmmunti camp, and
Speaker 17: it's preached every day, and it's one thing to talk
Speaker 17: about it. It is nothing to do with and I
Speaker 17: think zero and everybody's been emphasizing that, and you know,
Speaker 17: Rose a tip of the spear with that, and everybody
Speaker 17: follow suit. And you don't want to be that guy
Speaker 17: that's not crashing out out there and throwing your body
Speaker 17: in there. So you know, we got we got a
Speaker 17: day off tomorrow, so just hit while you can and
Speaker 17: the rest up.
Speaker 16: Thanks, I appreciate you.
Speaker 1: In the locker room today we heard from running back
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, who finished the day with one hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety nine rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns.
Speaker 8: Derek, how did it feel tonight? Especially have been the
Speaker 8: first player of the game, you break it eighty seven yards?
Speaker 8: How are you feeling after that play?
Speaker 6: Pretty good about that play?
Speaker 12: All week, Justice and everybody in the room was talking
Speaker 12: about how that play is all he was successful.
Speaker 6: Since you know, they they've been here, it's always been an.
Speaker 12: Explosive so I was anticipating it, but you know, I'm
Speaker 12: glad and you know, they did a great job.
Speaker 6: Old line receiver, it did a great job, tell you, blocking.
Speaker 12: And I just had to make one cut and you
Speaker 12: know the end zone.
Speaker 8: Lamar said he kind of knew pre snot based on what.
Speaker 12: I kind of saw it too, but I was like
Speaker 12: in the school, you see it and the first first
Speaker 12: time it was open and so back to back.
Speaker 6: Just lets the credit goes to everybody from the blocking,
Speaker 6: the old line.
Speaker 12: So they been incredible in the last two weeks, you know,
Speaker 12: in practice, like coach challenges us to come out, practice
Speaker 12: hard and work hard, and they'll playoff.
Speaker 6: They play off in the game and the transition to
Speaker 6: the game, and they had so hats off to those guys.
Speaker 6: And I mean everybody's blocking and everybody's just being unselfish
Speaker 6: for me to have success, and you know, I.
Speaker 5: Don't want to do How how much do you feel
Speaker 5: like you're getting kind of used to this offense, in
Speaker 5: the group of this offense, kind of gaining chemistry with
Speaker 5: this line.
Speaker 6: I mean, how much of that.
Speaker 12: Because they don't show up and I'm used to it,
Speaker 12: I'm comfortable then I don't know what else what else
Speaker 12: to say, but yeah, man, it's just it's been fun.
Speaker 6: You know, you're gonna started the way we wanted to.
Speaker 6: But you know, I told him this is why it
Speaker 6: came back, because I touch you, I'm back to get
Speaker 6: them all on the two. He just kept believing.
Speaker 12: We kept fighting and now that that's where you want
Speaker 12: to be.
Speaker 6: You want to keep it up, hilling on this and more.
Speaker 6: We've heard you and seen you working with the offensive
Speaker 6: line and talk to them and really communicating things like
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 10: What are you kind of seeing from them that has
Speaker 10: really helped you plust out the way?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I just think you know, they took a lot
Speaker 12: of heat.
Speaker 6: You know, the end of the season. Anything complain, just
Speaker 6: don't want that to work, and kept improving and I'll
Speaker 6: tell them I'll go as they go.
Speaker 12: And then we're all talking together, so they're gonna criticize
Speaker 12: and I'm with them, so you know, I'm just just
Speaker 12: proud of them and.
Speaker 6: About Song and just keep it going. This team, like
Speaker 6: the years want to talk.
Speaker 12: About, I think it's just being resilient no matter what happens, trusted,
Speaker 12: believe one another, just be leaving the man next to
Speaker 12: you that you know somebody's gonna be able to play
Speaker 12: and We're gonna make them play collectively on all three
Speaker 12: phases and just keep working.
Speaker 6: Keep that in the work.
Speaker 18: Show all the questions that you got here about longevity
Speaker 18: of running backs and stuff like that.
Speaker 14: What does it mean to have to be.
Speaker 6: Able to show that speed that you add?
Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't really try to focus on the stigma
Speaker 12: running backs.
Speaker 6: I trust believing in my train now and.
Speaker 12: The player I am, and you know, just try to
Speaker 12: go out and execute and have this team in anyway possible.
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank god I was able to, you know, scoring
Speaker 6: that on the first place. Great. Everybody think said about
Speaker 6: this team.
Speaker 4: I mean everyone's talking about the Bill in the hot
Speaker 4: steam in the league, MVP, and you gotta get something.
Speaker 6: I think we're trying to focus on what he said,
Speaker 6: you said, I thought we focused on.
Speaker 18: Being on one of those teachers.
Speaker 6: Bills were a great team and they're hitting at all stingers.
Speaker 12: We played a great game, great game against us to
Speaker 12: night with the better team tonight. But I sure will
Speaker 12: fixed teams the next thing that weeks.
Speaker 6: But we're just focused on being I want to know
Speaker 6: who's weak, playing playing regular football and making each other
Speaker 6: to bet we go on. This is not your first
Speaker 6: home game with gard Bang in the prime time setting
Speaker 6: to black out.
Speaker 14: You know this team is very successful in prime time games.
Speaker 6: What was that like? And we did it make any
Speaker 6: fresh on? Yeah, talking to a lot of people on
Speaker 6: the team. When I came in to as a nineteen
Speaker 6: for the playoff, a lot of the atmosphere was unreal
Speaker 6: and I was.
Speaker 12: Looking forward to seeing that same atmosphere to day that
Speaker 12: it definitely didn't disappear.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys, winning fumble three out, three and out
Speaker 2: after Kyle Benoi strip snack.
Speaker 6: What does that do for your offense?
Speaker 12: Mean? Yeah, I think you just playing CONFIMENTI with football,
Speaker 12: but because knew that, you know that we needed to play.
Speaker 12: You know, we were, you know, installing a little bit
Speaker 12: humpilating football. And when you compliment each other, you know
Speaker 12: things that the way you wanted to hatch off the dup,
Speaker 12: hands off the calcause a big in this videue. That
Speaker 12: had a great game. But those guys are relentless and
Speaker 12: they played it.
Speaker 6: Ve something those play.
Speaker 8: Is it starting to look the way that you thought
Speaker 8: it would when you came to Baltimore.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean we uh, you know, we got we
Speaker 12: got some more mental going. It's still you know, things
Speaker 12: that we can get better at, We're gonna focus on
Speaker 12: and get better at. But it's a long season. Moved
Speaker 12: out to the great start last week, didn't didn't finish
Speaker 12: what we wanted to, and then to this game.
Speaker 6: Tonight we got more mentally going and you know we
Speaker 6: were able to finish the game.
Speaker 12: You know, they're still progressing, still working, and you know,
Speaker 12: still up.
Speaker 6: Until to be better. Obviously, do you car, Yeah, I
Speaker 6: might sleep, I might not sleep tonight.
Speaker 12: I might get a little signing that Pat you know,
Speaker 12: try a touchdown, but always self I appreciate his unselfishness
Speaker 12: enough of going there and block unwillingly and Vegas head
Speaker 12: he had a cut on his nose. Still, you know,
Speaker 12: practicing hard each and every day, and and in the
Speaker 12: game it's not it's not each position somebody going down
Speaker 12: and just burn their head blocking guys runner full speed
Speaker 12: at it.
Speaker 6: But you know, Paston Joyner for a long time support
Speaker 6: the third and I'm able to do his teammate, you know,
Speaker 6: he he's on blocking Vinie, So it's different, all right,
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: We also heard from left tackle Ronnie Stanley, whose offensive
Speaker 1: line really paved the way for Henry in that ground game.
Speaker 1: Here's what Stanley had to say after the winney.
Speaker 6: Going against the undefeated Bills.
Speaker 3: Josh and all that kills.
Speaker 6: If you guys went thirty five to ten, do you
Speaker 6: think that means finish tea.
Speaker 19: I think it's a good step forward, you know, shows
Speaker 19: what we're capable of. And I think, you know, he
Speaker 19: left some some points out there as well.
Speaker 16: I think we can be even better.
Speaker 19: But you know, it's a very formidable opponent, and I
Speaker 19: think that's you know, reassuring for us to show us,
Speaker 19: you know, what kind of productivity we really have as
Speaker 19: a team.
Speaker 1: Well, what does when Henry opens a game with an
Speaker 1: eighty seven year touchdown?
Speaker 14: How does that affect things?
Speaker 19: I mean just instant momentum, you know, you know a
Speaker 19: guy like that, you know, I think the guys don't
Speaker 19: really want to tackle him to begin with, but you
Speaker 19: get him on the first play of the game, you know,
Speaker 19: going eighty plus yards, I think just gives the guys
Speaker 19: a lot of confidence, you know, for the rest of
Speaker 19: the game, and a lot of belief in what we're doing.
Speaker 14: So I was very thankful he's on my team.
Speaker 18: You've had back to back games where you put up
Speaker 18: a ton of yards on the ground as an offense.
Speaker 18: What does that say about this offensive line?
Speaker 14: I mean, that's just what we're capable of.
Speaker 19: I mean, you know we I've always believed in the
Speaker 19: guys that we had on the line, and you know,
Speaker 19: whoever needs to be in there, you know, Pad had
Speaker 19: to replace Andrew, whatever lineup we need to have. I
Speaker 19: believe in all those guys. I'm confident in them, and
Speaker 19: you know, I know they can get the job done.
Speaker 14: And we did that. Ronnie, Is this what the Ravens
Speaker 14: offense is? Or is this opponent?
Speaker 9: You know, what are the other layers to this offense?
Speaker 14: I just think we're a good offense.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 19: I think to be a complete offense, you got to
Speaker 19: handle whatever jobbing you do that day.
Speaker 14: You know, if you need to run the ball.
Speaker 6: That day, you got to do it.
Speaker 14: You have to go two minute mode, you got to
Speaker 14: do it. You gotta be ready for whatever scenario.
Speaker 19: So I think, you know, we're coming to be a
Speaker 19: complete offense, Ronnie.
Speaker 18: I'm out of the gate when they started to get
Speaker 18: some things going, and then you know after the KB
Speaker 18: and Thumber, you guys kind of poured it off from there.
Speaker 18: What did that fumble and then being able to punch
Speaker 18: it in after that you need at that time.
Speaker 14: I mean it was a big play.
Speaker 19: You know, it's a huge turning point for us, you know,
Speaker 19: to really add on to our league. But definitely not
Speaker 19: happy to where we came out in the second half.
Speaker 19: You know, I think we started a little slow, and
Speaker 19: I think we shouldn't, you know, need to put our
Speaker 19: defense in that position though, to get us, you know,
Speaker 19: to get back into a positive position. So I think
Speaker 19: we still have a lot we need to work on,
Speaker 19: but very proud of how everyone thought.
Speaker 8: Ronnie a lot said about the zero to two start
Speaker 8: and then not being able to finished games as much recently.
Speaker 8: What does it mean to put together your best performance
Speaker 8: to this point in the season at home in prime
Speaker 8: time against this team.
Speaker 14: I think it's just, you know, very reassuring.
Speaker 11: You know.
Speaker 19: I feel like we're putting in the work, and we
Speaker 19: go to work. We put in the effort every day,
Speaker 19: and I see the guys how hard they work, and
Speaker 19: you know, I know that stuff's gonna come to fruition.
Speaker 19: And but I try to remind the guys is focus
Speaker 19: on the process and not the results, because I don't
Speaker 19: think the results always reflect you know everything that's going on,
Speaker 19: and I think you know, when we come back during
Speaker 19: the week, we always look at the details, and.
Speaker 14: It's not always as bad as you think. It's not
Speaker 14: always as good as you think.
Speaker 19: So guys are just doing good at being accountable and
Speaker 19: making sure they come to work every day and get better.
Speaker 12: Do you say about the growth of this offensive line
Speaker 12: from for week one to where we're right now and kind.
Speaker 6: Of the work that you guys have put into it
Speaker 6: to get the kind of performance that you have.
Speaker 14: To day every day those guys come out and work better.
Speaker 14: You know, hops hops on us. You know, we we
Speaker 14: are We're hardest working up on.
Speaker 19: The team, you know, I think so every day those
Speaker 19: guys are coming in not complaining.
Speaker 14: You know, we have guys down.
Speaker 19: You know, sometimes the practice might be you know, down
Speaker 19: a guy or two, and because some guys might have
Speaker 19: to do double the rights, you know, everyone's gonna you know,
Speaker 19: do their part.
Speaker 14: So everyone's getting better. You know, I'm proud of their
Speaker 14: Ronnie you mentioned mcarry, I mean, this was his first career,
Speaker 14: started left guard. He's now started at every position in
Speaker 14: his career. What's it say about him? And just how
Speaker 14: impressive is that? That he is that versatile.
Speaker 19: For you guys, I'm not surprised. I mean, has been
Speaker 19: doing this his whole career. You know, he's six seven
Speaker 19: years deep and he's finally you know, he's completed the
Speaker 19: the mission of playing all five positions from the NFL.
Speaker 14: You know, this was the this was the fifth one.
Speaker 19: So, uh, you know, that's that's a feather on his
Speaker 19: kind of But yeah, I'm really not surprised by past productivity.
Speaker 19: He's really a unicorn in this business, and I think
Speaker 19: his uh, you know, his talent to do that is
Speaker 19: you know, invaluable.
Speaker 4: Were you were you aware of how close Derek was
Speaker 4: the two hundred he ended with one ninety nine, but
Speaker 4: as an offense, were you aware how close?
Speaker 14: Yeah, we were aware by the end of the game
Speaker 14: how close he was.
Speaker 15: Yeah, Ronnie harp I was talking about just how detail
Speaker 15: oriented Derek Henry is. What is the kind of stuff
Speaker 15: that maybe we see or we don't see, but you
Speaker 15: guys see behind the scene that makes him such a.
Speaker 19: I mean, you guys already know about his diet, the
Speaker 19: way you know he take takes care of his body,
Speaker 19: and you know, the stuff I see him do pre practice,
Speaker 19: you know, he does his whole norm up routine. He's
Speaker 19: very diligent. He's a very diligent person. You know, he's
Speaker 19: kind of in that auto pilmo where you know he
Speaker 19: knows all the things he needs to do to play
Speaker 19: at that level, you know, to run that fast at
Speaker 19: his size, and you know he comes in every day
Speaker 19: and you know he doesn't miss a day. He's just
Speaker 19: always working.
Speaker 14: Did Pat McCary did.
Speaker 18: You guys all know that was his last spot that
Speaker 18: he hadn't started that yet.
Speaker 14: Was that a talking point this week at all? I
Speaker 14: don't think it was a talking point.
