Top Ravens Quotes Ahead of Buccaneers Game

QB Lamar Jackson
QB Lamar Jackson

Head Coach John Harbaugh

On facing Mike Evans and Chris Godwin:

"[Mike Evans and Chris Godwin pose] tremendous matchup problems. They have two of the best, and they put those guys in spots – usually [No.] 14 [Chris Godwin]'s in the slot, usually [No.] 13 [Mike Evans is] out there at X. You single [Evans] up, he's a problem, and then you have [No.] 14 in the slot – if you single him up, he's a problem."

On the hype the Ravens are getting these last four weeks:

"I try to put it in perspective. It's not hard for guys to remember what was being said four weeks ago [or] five weeks ago. Noise is noise; new noise is new noise – it doesn't matter. ... It's what you do every day to be the best player that you can be. We seek improvement."

S Kyle Hamilton

On if there is any benefit to playing great quarterbacks and receivers early in the season:

"Yes, I think there is. ... We played Jayden Daniels last week, and then [Joe] Burrow the week before that – Josh Allen, [Patrick] Mahomes and all these guys. I think going against all these different kinds of quarterbacks [are] who we're going to see in the playoffs, so I think it's good for us to have that experience to know how different people play. At the same time, it's a week-to-week league, and I feel like anybody can lose to anybody in any given week, so it's up to us to go out there and be prepared every week."

On the challenges that the Buccaneers present:

"Baker [Mayfield] has been doing a great job since he's gotten there, and their offense is running pretty smoothly right now. They're playing physical. They have a few backs back there who are running the ball pretty hard. Their scheme is good, receivers are good, quarterback is good, [and the] O-line is playing [well]. So yes, it's a good challenge for us to go into Tampa Bay and hopefully come out with a win."

On if there is a locker room punishment for dropping interceptions:

"We need to come up with one. Maybe you all can come up with one. We usually do pushups, but I don't know. There might need to be a monetary thing attached to that. Maybe we can go on a DB trip after the year or something like that."

Jackson, Henry, Hamilton & More: Ravens Press Conferences 10/17/24

Head Coach John Harbaugh, WR Rashod Bateman, S Kyle Hamilton, RB Derrick Henry, and QB Lamar Jackson speak with the media.

QB Lamar Jackson

On if the offense can get better:

"There's definitely room for improvement, because sometimes things go the way I want it to, and sometimes they don't, and sometimes I feel a [certain] way about it. I get mad at myself. There's room for improvement with our offense. It's not a perfect offense – no offense is – but we're still working. We're trying to get somewhere."

On his 22-1 record against NFC teams:

"[It's] just an all-around team effort [and] gameplan. It's probably because we see each other [every once in a while], so it's hard to game-plan for us. [It's] a little bit of everything."

Lamar Jackson is 22-1 against NFC team in his career. Here's how he fared in each game.

On if this is the best he has ever played:

"I just feel like everything is slowing down even more just from the [seven] years I've been in the league and seeing all types of defenses, seeing all types of blitzes – everything is just second nature right now."

On people saying the Ravens have the best offense in the NFL:

"People are going to say whatever they want to say. We were just 0-2, and [they were saying] we were the worst offense in the league. Just being 4-2 right now, people are still going to say whatever they want to say, because there can be a game [and] we could come out with a win, but an ugly offensive game, and they'll say, 'It's the worst offense.' Each and every week, there's going to be something, we just have to focus on being the best offense that the Ravens have ever had."

On managing the hype:

"I know how it feels to be 0-2. I really don't care about the hype – not just being 0-2 – I just know how the NFL works. It's 'Any Given Sunday.' So, I'm not going to dwell on an MVP trophy or anything like that – I never have. Even when I won it, I never dwelled on it. It was just about me trying to win each and every game I'm in, and [it's the] same thing now. I'm still trying to win these games to get to February and win in February."

Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr

On cornerbacks Nate Wiggins and Brandon Stephens getting reps after practice:

"Man, it's great. We always encourage people to work on their craft, not just with us, but on their own, and I think that just shows the competitiveness and willingness to continue to get better. [Brandon Stephens and Nate Wiggins], they've been playing good football for us, but they know they can go to another level. We know they can go to another level."

Coordinators: Ravens Press Conferences 10/18/24

Offensive Coordinator Todd Monken, Special Teams Coordinator Chris Horton, and Defensive Coordinator Zach Orr speak with the media.

TE Mark Andrews

On if his touchdown felt any different because it was his first score after last year's injury:

"Yes, I just think it was a really cool moment for me. I love scoring, [and] I love catching the ball. I love doing all those things; that's kind of my bread and butter. It just felt really, really, really good to be back in there."

CB Brandon Stephens

On the Ravens' 31st-ranked pass defense:

"If teams want to believe, they can believe the numbers that they want and they can think it's going to be a cakewalk. But at the same time, we've got to go out there and do what we do and make it as hard as possible on the quarterback and receivers."
