Welcome in to the Ravens Press Pass Podcast. It is Monday, October 28th. The Ravens fell to the Cleveland Browns 29 to 24 on Sunday, and the Ravens are now five and three on the season. Today, we heard from head coach John Harbaugh during his standard Monday afternoon presser.

John Harbaugh (1:56)

Okay, I appreciate everybody being here, getting ready for Denver, looking hard at that team. Team has been playing really well, been hot, and we're going to have our hands full, but we're looking forward to the challenge, and can't wait to get back at it this week. So what questions you have?

SPEAKER_7 (2:11)

John, you have made changes along the defense, adding Dean and doing the personnel with Marcus. Do you foresee going to make it any other kind of changes to help the defense along?

John Harbaugh (2:24)

Well, I mean, it depends what kind of changes are available to us. We're going to continue to turn over every stone with our defense and with every other part of our team too, you know, to get as good as we can get during the course of a long season. Ups and downs, challenges, you know, good plays and not good plays. So there's a lot of things we can improve on. We'll do whatever we can do.

SPEAKER_8 (2:47)

John, you've not expressed confidence after the game that Marcus Williams would go on to play great football this year. Do you anticipate what happened yesterday being a one-game thing? And do you expect him to play against Denver?

John Harbaugh (2:58)

Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to probably try to get in too much about who's going to play and who's not going to play in the game. But I'll just reiterate what I said before. Marcus is a heck of a player. I have the utmost confidence in him as a player, as a person, as a pro. He's a great person. He's a hard worker, plays hard, practices hard, does everything at the highest level. And I anticipate him playing great football for us all season and very soon.

SPEAKER_9 (3:24)

Is there any thought to him not being active yesterday?

John Harbaugh (3:29)

Yeah, I think we don't ever really probably get in too much of the thought process and that kind of stuff. It just goes the way it goes. We make the decisions that we make based on the best judgment we can make, try to do our best to try to do what we can.

SPEAKER_10 (3:43)

Coach, you guys spent a lot of time with defensive backs, catching balls and practice. Why isn't this sort of a chat? Why isn't it translated into games? What else can you possibly get?

John Harbaugh (3:52)

That's a great question. You know, that's a really great question, Todd. There's probably a lot of factors that are pretty hard to measure on that. But yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, you know, we lead the league in those drops there interception wise. It's no secret. And those are huge plays, man. Those are huge opportunity plays. I'm going to choose to look at like those plays are going to get made.
