What are your thoughts about the Ravens going into this week?
The Ravens are a solid team, but let’s be honest—they should be a bit rusty coming into this matchup. They’ve had their moments, but we’re riding high off last week’s 'upset' win, and we’re ready to carry that momentum straight into Baltimore. We know they’ve got their so-called stars, but let’s not pretend this team is anything more than a couple of one-trick ponies. Sure, they’ve got talent, but if you take away their primary weapons, you force them to play left-handed. And when they’re out of rhythm, they’re a lot more beatable than they like to admit.
We’re not coming in intimidated—we’re coming in prepared. We’ll respect their strengths, but we’re not about to let them dictate the game. If they’re expecting us to roll over just because they’ve got a couple of flashy players, they’ve got another thing coming. We plan to beat the dust off the Ravens and show everyone that this team isn’t just riding momentum—we’re building something real. It’s going to be a battle, but we like our chances.
Can you summarize what it was like playing against the Chargers last week?
The Chargers are a good team, no doubt about it. They’re well-coached, disciplined, and have talent on both sides of the ball. It was one of those games where you knew you had to stay locked in from start to finish. For us, it came down to execution. We were able to stay in the game, rely on our defense to make key stops, and then capitalize offensively when it mattered most. It wasn’t always pretty, but at the end of the day, we found a way to pull out the win.
What really stood out was how well our offense protected the ball. Against a team like the Chargers, you can’t afford to give them extra possessions, and we didn’t. And when it came down to crunch time, we got the points we needed. It’s games like this that show the character of your team—staying composed, making plays, and finishing strong. It was a big win for us, and it gives us a lot of confidence heading into this week.
Can you talk about what it’s like to prepare to go against a player like Lamar Jackson?
Preparing for Lamar Jackson is no small task. He’s a unique talent, and you have to account for him on every single play. Whether he’s throwing, running, or extending plays, he’s always a threat to break something open. That’s why it’s so important to stay disciplined defensively. Our defensive ends know they’ve got their hands full this week—it’s all about containment. You can’t let him get outside the pocket because that’s where he’s most dangerous.
But it’s not just about stopping Lamar’s legs. You’ve got to be ready for him to make those quick reads and hit his receivers in stride. It’s a full-team effort. The key is making him uncomfortable, forcing him into situations where he has to make tough decisions. If we can do that, we like our chances. Lamar’s a great player, but we’re confident in our game plan and our ability to execute it. It’s going to take focus, but we’re ready for the challenge.
