What The Ravens Are Saying About The Steelers

Ravens LB Terrell Suggs on Ben Roethlisberger:

“He’s Big Ben. You can’t do anything but respect a guy like that and his physical play.”

Suggs Says The Game Is Good For the League:

“The whole NFL will be watching because there is not a rivalry in football like this.” Even this season? “(It’s) the history of those two teams, the rivalry and the style of play. This game is good for not only the NFL, it’s a good sporting event.”

Cornerback Lardarius Webb Says Records Mean Nothing:

“Their record isn’t showing how great a football team they are.”

Guard Marshall Yanda:

“You can throw the records out. It’s going to be a dog fight. The place is going to be rocking. It’s going to be one of those classic games.”

Guard Kelechi Osemele on the Ravens Run Game Issues:

“We’ve got to do a better job of giving our coaches and running backs more confidence in us. They don’t really have too much confidence in us right now.”

Coach John Harbaugh on Heinz Field Being a Tough Place to Play:

“It’s a tough place to play, I can tell you that. We’ve had some success there, and we’ve had some failure there, as well. It’s a great stadium. Obviously, they’ve always had a great team, so that even enhances it. It’s a tough place to play but a great place to play.”

Harbaugh On Getting Young Guys To Become Leaders:

“I don’t think it’s very hard to get them to believe in what you’re doing if you believe in what you’re doing and your leaders, and like you say, your veterans believe in what you’re doing. And when you build on some success that helps as well. So, it’s not a challenging thing. The bigger challenge is to build the prowess of your football team so that you can continue forward and win some games in a very tough league.”

Suggs If the Ravens Have a Super Bowl Hangover:

“No, but we’ll leave that for you all to decide. We really don’t get into that here. Our season is pretty much week-to-week and we’re just taking it as is. We’re 3-3. It’s not good but it’s also not terrible. We got some things we need to work on.”

Suggs If He’s Taken on a Different Role Losing Ray Lewis to Retirement:

“I don’t think so. I’m just going to be Terrell. No, we don’t have the guy that gives the emotional speeches before the games, but I’ve said it before, we have tons of leaders on this team and we’re going to continue to build and work.”
