Entering Week 6, the Ravens have produced the NFL’s second-most sacks (19), with OLB Terrell Suggs totaling 7 of Baltimore’s QB drops. Suggs, who has at least 1 sack in each game this season, can set a Ravens’ franchise record this Sunday if he notches a sack in his sixth-consecutive game. (Paul Kruger - 2012 & Adalius Thomas - 2005 & 2006 also each had five-game-sack stretches.)
Sacks Quick Hit:• The Ravens’ 19 sacks rank as the most Baltimore has ever produced through the first five games of a season. (Ravens had 18 through five contests in 2006.)
Who was your favorite athlete growing up? “Mike Vick. I always played quarterback before college. He went to Virginia Tech, and I’m from Virginia, so I was a fan. I just liked watching him, as well as Allen Iverson.”
What was your “Welcome to the NFL” moment? “Just watching the atmosphere of the first game of my first year (2011) – Steelers versus Ravens – to open up the season. There’s nothing better. It was crazy, the atmosphere and to see how the rivalry works.”What’s your favorite play from your career so far? “My favorite play – I was watching it – was when [Josh] Bynes tackled [Ted Ginn Jr.] at the end of the Super Bowl. That’s my favorite play.”What was your first job? “My first real job was at Walmart. I was a cashier, and everybody would come in my line. I used to hate it.”What’s your favorite Olympic sport? “Track and field. It’s fun to watch. The swimming races are pretty cool, too. Anytime there is man versus man, and you are watching them go at it, it’s pretty cool.”You were a standout high school basketball player. Did you play pickup games in college with the Maryland basketball players? “We played in the intramural league; we won the championship twice. We won it my freshman year and my sophomore year, and then I stopped playing. They have open gyms [in the Comcast Center] as well. We’d go by there and play during the offseason. All kinds of guys from the [NBA] would come over and play in Comcast. Last time I was down there, John Wall, Michael Beasley, DeMarcus Cousins, Scottie Reynolds and Kevin Durant played. There are so many people from Washington, D.C., [that are NBA players].”Most of your high school highlights were two-handed dunks. Did you not like to do any one-handed throw downs? “I’ve dunked on so many people one-handed. I broke my leg dunking. If I have control, I’m dunking with two hands. It’s easier to come down.”What’s the first word that comes to mind when you hear the following names? John Harbaugh: “Leader.” Joe Flacco: “Winner.” Steve Bisciotti: “The Man.” Ozzie Newsome: “Genius.” Jacoby Jones: “Team clown.” Marlon Brown: “Beast.”

NOTE OF THE WEEK III
WR Torrey Smith has excelled this season, producing 556 receiving yards (third most in the NFL) on 27 catches. With 6 receptions for 121 yards last week at Miami, Smith became the first Raven since Qadry Ismail in 1999 to post back-to-back 100-yard receiving games. (Ismail had three straight that year.)

NUMBERS TO RAVE ABOUT
NOTE OF THE WEEK II
In each of the past four full seasons (2009-12), Ravens QB Joe Flacco and Packers QB Aaron Rodgers are the only NFL quarterbacks to throw for at least 3,600 yards and 20 TDs, while posting 12 INTs or less. Each player has also led his team to a World Championship and been named Super Bowl MVP (Flacco, SB XLVII in 2012, and Rodgers, SB XLV in 2010.)
This Sunday’s game will showcase two of the NFL’s most explosive and exciting offenses. Entering Week 6, Baltimore and Green Bay have each produced 24 offensive plays gaining at least 20 yards. That figure ties (New Orleans) for the NFL’s third most.

Head Coach John Harbaugh on OLB Terrell Suggs:“He is playing as well as he’s played, ever. He’s playing at, obviously, a Pro Bowl-type level. But he can even play better. That’s the thing. He’s so determined right now. I see him walking around here – he’s just got a look on his face, a single-minded purpose-type look on his face. So, that’s the way he’s playing.”
DE Chris Canty on OLB Terrell Suggs’ performance in 2013: “This is the best I’ve ever seen him. He’s everywhere making plays. When you turn on the tape, his effort just jumps out on film. He came into training camp in tremendous shape with a tremendous attitude. It’s no surprise that he’s playing at a high level. It’s no surprise. He’s flying around the football. His commitment and dedication to the guys in this locker room is unquestioned.”
MMQB’s Peter King, naming K Justin Tucker his Special Teams Player of the Week following the Ravens’ win at Miami:“Can’t get much better than this guy. Tucker kicked field goals of 42, 50, 25 and 44 Sunday in Miami, and the last one won the game with 1:42 to play. In his 13-month career with Baltimore, Tucker is 45 of 50 on field goals, making all 25 attempts from inside 40.”
John Harbaugh on QB Joe Flacco’s toughness and mettle and the Ravens’ pass protection:“Joe doesn’t ever get fazed. Joe, it seems, never gets shaken. Joe is not the kind of guy that’s going to get rattled. That’s just who he is. That’s part of his greatness. And that’s why he is who he is as a player. He’s not going to get fazed by any of that stuff. So we know we have to work on some things protection-wise. And we’ll continue to do that. We’re going to be a good pass protection team. I guarantee you that. And Joe understands that. And that’s just the way he plays.”
Owner Steve Bisciotti on the Ravens’ veteran leaders after the departure of LB Ray Lewis and S Ed Reed:“We’re not going to miss a beat from a leadership standpoint. Direction, these guys are going to know what direction to go in. I think this is a great opportunity for guys like [Terrell] Suggs to step up and Joe [Flacco] to step up. It’s coming along exactly the way I figured. Ray Lewis is a once-in-a-generation guy. And you saw guys like Terrell Suggs – who was a Defensive Player of the Year [in 2011] – in the offseason, and as the season started last year, he was still deferring to Ray Lewis. And it’s just interesting. When you have someone of that iconic level, it was hard to step out of his shadow, and they really didn’t try to. They knew that they were seeing something special, and that they were fortunate to be a part of it.”
CBSSports.com’s Jason LaCanfora on the Ravens’ reputation:“They are first-class from the owner on down. People want to work for them, and players want to play for them. They are an elite franchise in every sense of the word in any way you want to evaluate it.”
NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal on the Ravens’ trade for LT Eugene Monroe, engineered by general manager Ozzie Newsome: “Newsome has a knack for finding useful veterans at the last minute. McKinnie was an example last year. Linebacker Daryl Smith, not picked up till June, has turned into a monster signing for the defense this season. Monroe is a much bigger move because he should be with the team for a long time. The Wizard of Oz strikes again.”
Fox Sports analyst Brian Billick on his respect for Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome: “When you can look to a leader who’s in the Hall of Fame and has two rings that he won with two different coaches and two different quarterbacks, whatever he thinks it takes, you can’t question.”
Ravens OLB Terrell Suggs on the acquisition of OLB Elvis Dumervil: “Everybody was kind of hitting the panic button on us in the spring because of the guys we lost. In Ozzie [Newsome] we trust. He did a great job of reloading the gun. Once Elvis signed, he fit right in – a guy that belongs here. He has the mentality we have here. He’s not afraid to work hard and get better every day here.’’
Ravens RB Ray Rice on the Ravens’ mentality: “We’ve always been underdogs. There’s something about the Ravens, something about us [that] we’ve always been underdogs. I don’t think it’s something that our guys read into. I think we’ve embraced being the villain at times. We don’t mind going into the game saying that we’re the underdog. We don’t mind that kind of stuff, because when you overcome it … We were never the perfect football team. We won a Super Bowl last year, but we were never the perfect football team. We just found ways to win games, and that’s the kind of football team we are.”
WR Torrey Smith on how he wants to be known:“I’m just a receiver. I don’t want to be labeled as a deep-threat guy, which is always going to happen because I’m always going to be able to run past people until I’m slow. I watch some guys who are very good at being deep threats, but it’s like people don’t respect them doing anything else. I don’t want to be one of those guys. I want to be known as a solid all-around receiver that’s fast, not a fast guy that plays receiver.”
“I think it’s one of those things again [where] he surrounds himself with good coaches, which is a big part of the success of any organization. He’s a good manager of people. He understands the game, and he respects the game. He’s a leader. I think he obviously inspires people around him.”
– CBS-TV analyst Bill Cowher on Ravens head coach John Harbaugh
K Justin Tucker kicked his game-winning fourth field goal (44 yards) of the day with 1:42 remaining in the fourth quarter to help the Ravens earn a hard-fought 26-23 victory at Miami. Trailing 13-6 at the half, the Ravens dominated the third quarter, holding the ball for over 11 minutes to take a 16-13 lead. The Ravens opened the second half with a 6-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 2-yard RB Ray Rice TD run. After forcing a Dolphins’ punt, Baltimore came back with an 11-play series that ended with a 25-yard Tucker field goal. After a Miami three-and-out, the Ravens produced an even better drive – 11 plays for 94 yards – that ended with a Rice 3-yard TD scamper to give Baltimore a 23-13 lead at the start of the final period. Miami, however, responded immediately with 10 points in 1 minute and 45 seconds to tie the game at 23. (The Dolphins scored when S Reshad Jones returned a QB Joe Flacco INT for a 25-yard TD, which followed a 48-yard K Caleb Sturgis FG.) Sturgis missed a 57-yard FG attempt at the end of the game that would have sent the contest into overtime. Tucker (42 and 50 yards) and Sturgis (37 and 25 yards) exchanged a pair of field goals in the first two quarters before Miami QB Ryan Tannehill hit TE Charles Clay with a 9-yard TD pass with 46 seconds left in the second quarter. Baltimore’s defense limited the Dolphins to 22 rushing yards (fourth fewest in Ravens history) and sacked Tannehill 6 times, including 3 by OLB Terrell Suggs in the fourth quarter. OLBs Elvis Dumervil, Courtney Upshaw and Pernell McPhee also produced QB takedowns. Flacco was 19-of-32 for 269 yards, including 6 passes for 121 yards to WR Torrey Smith. Rice rushed 27 times for 74 yards and added 6 catches for 28 more.

SIZING UP THE STREAK
The Ravens have won 13-consecutive home games against the NFC dating back to 2006, a streak that ranks as the NFL’s longest home winning stretch by one conference vs. another. In the Ravens’ 13-straight home wins over NFC opponents, Baltimore has scored 28.3 points per game and allowed just 13.3. The Ravens have also posted a +16 turnover ratio in these 13 victories.
Overview: Following a Week 4 bye, the Packers are 2-2 and stand third in the NFC North. Last week, Green Bay defeated Detroit, 22-9, earning its 23rd-consecutive victory over the Lions in Wisconsin. This week marks the first of two-straight AFC North clashes for the Packers, as they return home to face the Browns on Oct. 20. Mike McCarthy: McCarthy is in his eighth season as head coach of the Packers and has compiled a 76-40 regular season record. Under his guidance, Green Bay has earned five double-digit-win seasons and has finished under .500 just once (2008). McCarthy has coached Packers teams that have earned five playoff berths, won three division titles and captured Super Bowl XLV in 2010. He is 1-0 all time against the Ravens, with a 27-14 win in 2009. Offense: Green Bay ranks third in total offense (453.3 ypg), including the fourth-ranked passing attack (312.3 ypg) and fifth-best ground game (141.0 ypg). The Packers are averaging 29.5 points per contest, the league’s third-best mark. Pro Bowl QB Aaron Rodgers has completed 101 of 152 passes (66.4 percent) for 1,331 yards, 9 TDs and 3 INTs. His 83-yard touchdown strike to WR James Jones (19 catches for 339 yards and 2 TDs) last week is the longest pass play in the NFL this season. WR Jordy Nelson has 23 receptions for a team-high 379 yards and 3 TDs. RB James Starks, who missed last week’s game (knee), has a team-best 187 rushing yards. Defense: The Packers have the NFL’s 19th-ranked defensive unit (374.8 ypg), but have produced the fifth-best run stop (86.0 ypg). LB A.J. Hawk paces the group with 32 tackles, while LB Brad Jones (who left last week’s contest with a hamstring injury) is second with 29 stops (a team-best 23 solo), adding 1 sack and 1 FF. LB Clay Matthews has produced team highs with 3 sacks and 2 FFs.

OPPONENT INFORMATION
Dec. 7, 2009 • Lambeau Field • Green Bay, WIThe Ravens turned the ball over 4 times, including 3 interceptions from QB Joe Flacco – one from the Packers’ 3-yard line in the fourth quarter – in a Monday Night Football 27-14 loss at Green Bay.

COACH HARBAUGH / ROSBURG NOTES
OVERHEARD ABOUT HARBS
Assistant head coach/special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg, a 35-year coaching veteran, has guided a strong special teams group since arriving in Baltimore in 2008. In 2012, the Ravens’ special teams units excelled. Led by Pro Bowl RS Jacoby Jones, Baltimore ranked first in the NFL in kickoff
return average (27.3), also setting a team record. Jones, who became the first player ever to record dual KORs of at least 105 yards in a career, tied for a league-leading 3 kick return TDs (2 KORs & 1 PR) and averaged an NFL-best 30.7 yards per kickoff return. Jones also tied an NFL record for longest KOR in Super Bowl history with his 108-yard KOR-TD in Super Bowl XLVII.
Rosburg’s kickers were special in 2012, too: P Sam Koch set Ravens single-season punting records with a 47.1 gross average and a 40.8 net average, shattering career bests. K Justin Tucker made 30 of 33 FGAs (90.9%), producing the second-best success rate in Ravens single-season history and also the second-best mark by a rookie kicker in NFL history.
Prior to Baltimore, Rosburg built a successful NFL special teams resume both with the Browns (2001-06) and Falcons (2007). Under his leadership, Cleveland’s special teams units were consistently ranked among the NFL’s best. Over a five-year span (2002-06), the Browns’ special teams were ranked as the top NFL unit in Rick Gosselin’s annual comprehensive special teams report.
SPECIAL FORCES
ESPN.com’s Herm Edwards on John Harbaugh: “Going into his sixth season in Baltimore, all John Harbaugh has done is win. He’s made the playoffs every year, won at least one playoff game every year, and of course, won a Super Bowl. He’s instilled toughness in his team, which will carry over after the losses of [Ed] Reed and [Ray] Lewis. This team is a perennial playoff contender with a great coach at the helm.”
ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio on John Harbaugh and the Ravens: “The Ravens consistently have been underrated and overlooked in recent years. Even after winning the Super Bowl, many think that the Ravens are destined to collapse. Sorry, but it’s impossible to ignore five-straight postseason appearances, a great head coach, a great quarterback and a front office that knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. The Ravens won’t be folding ‘em anytime soon. Though a repeat could be too much to expect, it’s not nearly as out of the question as many presume.”
CBSSports.com’s Pete Prisco on John Harbaugh: “John has that Super Bowl victory now, and his team has been a Super Bowl contender for much of his stay with Baltimore. I continue to say that his coaching job in 2012 exceeded the talent level on the field. It was a heck of a job. He’s been to the postseason all five of his years with the Ravens, and he’s 9-4 in 13 postseason games.”

SPECIAL TEAMS STANDOUTS
In 2012, senior NFL writer Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News ranked the Ravens’ special teams unit No. 2 in the league in his annual comprehensive ratings system that’s based on 22 categories, assigning points according to each standing — 1 for best, 32 for worst. The Vikings finished first in Gosselin’s special teams rankings, followed by the Ravens and the Bengals.
Dating back to the 2008 season when Jerry Rosburg became the Ravens’ special teams coordinator, Baltimore has produced the NFL’s No. 1 kickoff return average (24.9).
• The Ravens’ 5 total return TDs (KOR and PR) over the past three seasons rank as the NFL’s third most. Only Tennessee & Denver (6 each) have more.
• With WR/RS Tandon Doss’ PR-TD in Week 3, the Ravens have scored a PR-TD in three-straight seasons, with WR/RS Jacoby Jones’ 63-yarder at Pittsburgh on 11/18/12 serving as the most recent before Doss.
COORDINATORS NOTES
Jim Caldwell, a 36-year coaching veteran, joined theRavens as the team’s QBs coach in February 2012 and was elevated to offensive coordinator on Dec. 10, replacing Cam Cameron. Caldwell arrived in Baltimore after coaching 10 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, including the three (2009-11)
as head coach. In his first year at the helm, he led the Colts to the AFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl XLIV. Caldwell, who earned a Super Bowl ring (2006) with Indy, spent six seasons tutoring one of the NFL’s all-time greats in QB Peyton Manning. During the course of Caldwell’s time in Indianapolis, the Colts achieved much success, tying an NFL record with nine-straight playoff appearances and winning six AFC South division titles.
Dean Pees, a 10-year NFL-coaching veteran, was promoted to defensive coordinator on Jan. 27, 2012, after guiding the Ravens’ LBs for two seasons. He is the sixth “D” coordinator in franchise history. Pees, who was New England’s “D” coordinator from 2006-09, leads a Baltimore unit that finished as the
NFL’s third-best scoring defense four-consecutive years (2008-11) and tied (NYG) for 12th in 2012, allowing 21.5 points per game.
Pees leads a unit that during the John Harbaugh Era (2008-12)...• Has allowed the NFL’s second-fewest points (17.6) and the third-fewest net yards (305.9) per game during this span.
Four “D” coordinators in Ravens history have gone on to become NFL head coaches: Marvin Lewis (1996-2001), Mike Nolan (2002-04), Rex Ryan (2005-08) and Chuck Pagano (2011). Former Jaguars head coach Jack Del Rio was the Ravens’ LBs coach from 1999-2001, while Atlanta’s Mike Smith also coached on the “D” from 1999-2002.
• Since John Harbaugh’s arrival (2008), two of the Ravens’ Top 3 single-game scoring outputs have occured: 55 vs. Oak. (11/11/12) and 48 vs. Det. (12/13/09). (Baltimore also scored 48 on 12/19/05 vs. GB.)
• Under Harbaugh, the Ravens have totaled at least 400 yards 19 times, producing an 18-1 mark in those games. Baltimore has piled up at least 375 net yards 27 times since ‘08, producing a 24-3 record in those contests.

RAVENS HOME RECORDS / NFL RANKINGS Time Period (Milestone) Record NFL Rank
CHARM CITY RUSH • In 2012’s Week 13 division battle against the Steelers, Baltimore’s home winning streak was snapped. The Ravens entered the game having won 15-consecutive games at M&T Bank Stadium (16 including playoffs), the NFL’s longest active home streak at the time.
• The defeat marked the Ravens’ first loss at home since 12/5/10, which also came against the Steelers (13-10).
• Pittsburgh’s win in Week 13 (2012) snapped another streak: The Ravens had won 12-straight AFC North games, tying Indianapolis for the longest division winning streak since 2002 division realignment.
• With 2012’s Week 15 loss to Denver, the Ravens dropped back-to-back home games for the first time under John Harbaugh. The last time Baltimore lost consecutive home games was in 2007 (12/3 and 12/9), a stretch that spanned 39 homes games leading into Week 15’s defeat.
Since 1996, the Ravens have posted 53 defensive TDs, scoring at least one in each year of their existence (including Week 3’s INT-TD by LB Daryl Smith). Baltimore is 42-7 all time when tallying a D-TD. Since 2003, the Ravens own the NFL’s second-most D-TDs (40), going 31-5.
Since 2000, Baltimore’s “D” has registered the NFL’s most shutouts, blanking opponents nine times. The Ravens’ last shutout came on Nov. 16, 2009 in a 16-0 win at Cleveland on Monday Night Football.

S Michael Huff on WR Torrey Smith:“He does it all. He catches, he runs, he blocks, and he runs reverses. He’s a No. 1 receiver that you can put out there and not have to worry about. I didn’t know he could catch the little hitches and run precise routes like that until I got here and saw how much work he puts in and how hard he works every day in practice, but he’s incredible.”

DEFENSIVE PLAYER NOTES
One of the NFL’s most disruptive forces, DT Haloti Ngata was named to his fourth Pro Bowl in 2012. Perhaps the NFL’s most athletic defensive tackle, Ngata stops the run (460 career tackles), rushes the passer (23 career sacks) and even drops into coverage (3 career INTs).
Baltimore has a history of strong run defense, and with Ngata’s help since 2006, has been consistently sturdy on the ground.
Dating back to 2006, when DT Haloti Ngata entered the NFL, the Ravens have allowed the NFL’s second-fewest rushing TDs (57) and the NFL’s third-fewest rushing yards per game (91.2 ypg).
In the 2011 Week 3 win at St. Louis, DT Haloti Ngata scooped up a Sam Bradford fumble and returned it 28 yards for his first-career TD. Ngata’s scamper is the third-longest FR-TD in Ravens history, shy of OLB Adalius Thomas’ 57- and 35-yarders.

Ravens CB/RS Lardarius Webb missed 10 games in 2012 after tearing his ACL on 10/14 vs. Dallas. The fifth-year pro worked hard in training camp to return for the Ravens’ 2013 Week 1 opener, when he had 1 tackle and 1 PD at Denver. In 2011, Webb produced a career year, becoming the NFL’s only player that
season to have an INT-TD & a PR-TD. Webb also tied to post the NFL’s fourth-most pass defensed (20) in 2011, finishing with a career-best 68 tackles and a team-high 5 INTs on the season.
In the Ravens’ 2012 season-opening win vs. Cincy, DT Haloti Ngata notched 1.5 QB drops, tying a career high. He has 11 sacks dating back to 2011, has racked up 131 tackles (third among NFL DTs) and has 6 PD, tied for eighth most among NFL DTs during this span.

The Baltimore Ravens and Mid-Atlantic Dairy Association kicked off their promotion of the in-school Play 60 Challenge on Tuesday (10/1) as part of the national NFL Play 60 campaign. By implementing the 2013 Play 60 Challenge, the Ravens are challenging local students to be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day through an incentive-based system. In-classroom tracking materials and individual student guides were distributed for students to record their physical activity during the four-week program. By reaching specified benchmarks, students will be awarded prizes such as water bottles, foam footballs, basketball hoops and yoga mats.
On Tuesday (10/1), the Ravens hosted two Play 60 Challenge kickoff assemblies, first at Woodbridge (Baltimore, Md.)Elementary School and then later at Mayfield Woods (Elkridge, Md.) Middle School. LB Arthur Brown, WR Marlon Brown, S Matt Elam and C Gino Gradkowski joined Ravens cheerleaders and official mascot Poe in launching this year’s program.

HEAD COACH JOHN HARBAUGH MONDAY PRESS CONFERENCE
Opening statement: “Good seeing everybody. Welcome, thanks for coming over. A couple of injury things: [Kelechi Osemele’s] back is feeling better today. We’ll just have to see throughout the course of the week how he responds. Marcus [Spears] had some work done on his knee; he’ll just be getting treatment. When I say that, I mean treatment-type work, and it’s nothing major [or] structural in there. We’ll just have to see how that responds, and he’ll probably be day-to-day. Marlon Brown, we’ll hope to get him out there on Wednesday. We’ll see if we can do that. It would be good to do that. Arthur Brown had no issue with his [pectoral] strain. He seemed to be 100 percent. Ray [Rice] continues to get better. Jacoby [Jones] will continue to practice this week. We’ll see how he does. And then [Lardarius Webb’s] hamstring got through it pretty well yesterday. So, that’s how it went with injuries. Just watching the tape, [it was] very similar to what we thought after the game. The offensive line, it seemed like, played even better than we thought when you watched the tape, as far as the run blocking. They blocked exceptionally well in the run game. Our conditioning really showed up in that game. It really showed up in that heat down there. It was a tough, hard-fought game. But by the second half – particularly in the fourth quarter – our conditioning seemed like it took over. The effort and heart were tremendous, and it was just a great win. And our fans – I’ll tell you – our fans are fabulous. You guys saw that down there. That was special.” Each team presents a different set of circumstances as each game unfolds, but would it be too blunt to say that you will never ever give up on the run game again – that the Buffalo scenario will never happen again? (Joe Platania) “Come on. What else do you have?” When you talk about the conditioning of the team, did it surprise you? Miami plays in that type of weather all the time, and the Ravens held up as well as or better than the Dolphins in the heat. (Jerry Coleman) “It’s a compliment, definitely, to the work our guys have put in. Our guys have worked really, really hard. They work really hard every day at practice. And we’ve been blessed with some hot weather here. We’ve had a lot of humidity. The first two weeks – the Denver week and the next week – we had a lot of heat at practice. And then we had a lot of heat last week, too, so it helped us.” Can you talk about the offensive and defensive play on third-down situations? (Aaron Wilson) “We were close to 40 percent on third down, which is OK. But our defense was completely dominant on third down, especially in the second half. I think we were 78 percent on third downs on defense. [It was only] one out of seven they converted in the second half. That’s the thing, [and] that probably leads to what you are talking about. You get your defense off the field, and your offense can make a few first downs and extend some drives, and that leads to that conditioning factor.” John, if Jacoby Jones comes back this week, do you put him in as the return guy? Or will you just try to take it slow with him and do it gradually in both positions? (Mike Preston) “That’s the question we’re asking ourselves right now. It probably depends on how he looks during practice. If he looks really, really good, we’d be willing to put him out there. But if we feel like we need to protect him, then we will.” John, was the pass protection better this week than it was last week? (Mark Zinno) “I would say so. I would say it was improved. We lost a couple one-on-one battles in there that got to Joe [Flacco]. Again, Joe, I would say, [was] still under too much duress, but they were one-on-one battles. They weren’t situations where we had miscommunications or protection errors, so that was positive. And we had a lot of good protections, too.” A.Q. Shipley played yesterday at a spot that he hasn’t played at much before. Looking at the tape, how did it look like he did? (Garrett Downing) “I thought he did a great job for the situation, especially. He came in there … We didn’t know anything [about Kelechi Osemele’s back tightness] until pregame. Now, [Shipley] knows he’s in that spot. He practices there, but he didn’t expect necessarily to be out there; we didn’t see this coming with ‘K.O.’ [Osemele]. So, he jumped in there and did a nice job, which we would have expected.” How about the receivers? Tandon Doss and Deonte Thompson did a great job. Ed Dickson made a few catches. They certainly gave Joe Flacco some good support. (David Ginsburg) “They did, they made some good plays. Doss made a great play over his right shoulder, then over his left shoulder, however that one went. And Joe made a great throw while basically getting hit, made the throw out there. That was a big play for us. We only had three of those guys [wide receivers active], and they played a lot throughout the course of the game. Torrey [Smith] continues to just make a bunch of plays week-in and week-out. Deonte went up for a ball down the field and got a big interference call, made some plays for us that way, too. So, it was good.” What is your thinking on Eugene Monroe and Bryant McKinnie at the left tackle position going forward this week? (Aaron Wilson) “We’re in wait-and-see mode right now. We’ll see what happens over the course of the week. [We] don’t really know for sure right now. I hate to add this … Yes, [Monroe] looked good last week; he looked really good, OK? We’re just going to have to see how it plays out. This is uncharted territory for us, it really is. We’ve never been down this road before. So, we’ll see what happens.”

Did you get an explanation on the John Simon personal foul? (Aaron Wilson) “John [Simon] dumped the guy after the whistle. We saw it on tape. It was foolish. It was just a bad penalty. There was really no reason to do that. John, right away, when he came off the field, he said he messed up. That’s not something that we need to have.” Going back to the run game – last week it was 15 yards at halftime for a 2.1 average. This week, it was 33 for a 2.2 average. Was there anything specific you saw that made you say, ‘We could still go down the road of running the football and be successful at it.’? (Mark Zinno) “Yes. I thought we could be successful at it in the second half, whereas last week, I did not think we’d be successful at it in the second half [with] the way we were blocking.” What gave you that [inclination]? (Mark Zinno) “Well, we’ll go through the tape later if you want. I’ll sit down and go through every play with you later. We blocked better – that’s what we did better. We blocked better. But you know, they have that thing now – 11-on-11. Take a look at it, and you tell me what you think.” With a road win now, and of course you’ve got Green Bay coming in, and you’re tied atop the AFC North … Are you OK with where you stand at this juncture of the season? (Dave Ginsburg) “No, I’d like to be 5-0. That’s where I’d like to be at this juncture of the season. But we’re not. We’re 3-2. So, we’re going to try to be 4-2 after this game.” John, you talk about the fan base traveling. How does it feel to a team when you wind up in a stadium and you get to hear all your fans, and they support you so much when you turn around and see so much purple? (Bill West) “I’ll tell you, it’s just unbelievable. When we came out for pre-game, it might have been 10-to-1 Ravens fans. And then, of course, the Dolphins fans filled in. We came out for kickoff, and we were introduced, and we came running out there, and it was a loud cheer. You expect to get the boos, and we heard the boos, too. But that was heartening. It was emotional. We’ve got amazing fans.” With Torrey Smith, he’s been pretty consistent through every game. Have you seen defenses try to limit what he’s done as the season has gone on? (Jamison Hensley) “Yes. He gets a lot of double coverage. He gets a lot of press [coverage]. He gets a guy pressed and then a guy on top of him – what we call ‘choke’ coverage. And he’s done a good job handling all of those things. He gets off the line of scrimmage against press better than people think. They think they can keep him on the line of scrimmage, but he does a better job releasing than people expect.” Kyle Juszczyk had one target. I know he didn’t get a lot of offensive plays yesterday, but he was targeted with one pass. Is that a byproduct of you guys being shorter on receivers yesterday, or something that you want to see more offensive snaps for him? (Ryan Mink) “We’d like to see more with him. He’s coming on. [He’s a] talented guy, and we’re looking forward to seeing how we can develop him even more.” How impressed were you that you were able to get things done yesterday being so thin at wide receiver? And there was talk that Brandon [Stokley] was back in the fold … (Jerry Coleman) “I was really happy to see the way our receivers played. It was tough, it was hot, [and] we only had three of them. We’ve never had that before, never had any experience with that before. [We] didn’t know how that was going to go, especially in that heat. Other guys, like Kyle [Juszczyk,] took up the slack as well. As far as the other question, I don’t know how that’s going to shake out. We’ll see.” Going in with the three wide receivers, you said that that is something you’ve never experienced on any level before. That was a totally new thing for you. But it was something that you were prepared for more than ‘K.O.’ [Kelechi Osemele] going down in warm-ups? (Jerry Coleman) “Yes, we thought it would be a possibility that we’d be in that situation.” John, your run defense was dominant yesterday. Compared to the week before, was that a scheme adjustment you made or more winning one-on-one battles? (Gerry Sandusky) “We played better run defense.” John, you alluded to the throw that Joe [Flacco] made to Torrey [Smith.] What does it say about Joe that he’s willing to stand in there and take those hits? I know not every quarterback is as continually willing to get hit like that while making throws down the field. (Matt Vensel) “We talked about it a little last night after the game. That’s part of Joe’s [Flacco] greatness. That’s a part of what makes Joe who he is. You look around the league, and you’ll see a lot of quarterbacks not doing those things [and] not standing in there the way he stands in there. He’s special that way. We don’t win that game without him, without his willingness to stand in there and make those throws.” [Ryan] Tannehill made some plays, extending yesterday, and that’s something Aaron Rodgers can do as well. Is that something you can emphasize this week as far as not getting guys lost when plays get extended? (Clifton Brown) “We’ll work hard on the extended coverage. When quarterbacks scramble, that’s something we work very hard on. We’ve been doing that for a very long time, [preparing for] playing against Ben Roethlisberger. That’s been a big emphasis for us, always is every practice. We make a point of that. It’s easier said than done, but you need to try and stay on top of those routes.”
Ravens Transcripts Oct. 7, 2013
How about the play of [Terrell] Suggs? It seems like he and [Elvis] Dumervil have really been working together, and Suggs had the three sacks. (Dave Ginsburg) “For a guy to take over the game like that, you don’t see that too often. He took over the game in the fourth quarter, as you said, and Elvis [Dumervil] put the exclamation point on it with that last sack. That was tough. We had them at fourth-and-long there, and [Ryan Tannehill] scrambles out to the left. He makes a pretty incredible throw on the run, hits [Mike] Wallace on a diving catch, and now they’re sitting there close to field goal range – probably are in field goal range with their kicker. Right out of the gate, ‘Doom’ [Dumervil] gets the sack. But before that, we had two drives that were snuffed out in the fourth quarter by our defense by the pressure we got, mainly by Terrell [Suggs].” John, any concerns about Sam [Koch]? A couple of times yesterday, [he had] just a couple of short kicks. (Bill West) “That was very un-Sam-like. Those are two shanks that he usually doesn’t have. He was really doing a great job; he’s done a great a job. We’ve faced some really good returners, no less this week. We try to punt to the sideline. On the one hand, we always say, ‘Why didn’t he just punt it out of bounds?’ You guys have asked me that before: ‘Why not just punt it out of bounds?’ Well, sometimes that’s why. If you punt it out of bounds, those angles change over there. If you hit it a little bit off center, [then] that’s what happens – real short punts. We’ve asked Sam to do that a lot, and he’s done a great job of it. But on those two, it didn’t work out so well.”
