Baltimore Ravens Preparing For Maxx Crosby

With the Baltimore Ravens’ home opener just days away, the Las Vegas Raiders will come to M&T Bank Stadium to face the Ravens.

That means Baltimore will have to account for three-time Pro Bowler Maxx Crosby.

Coach John Harbuagh Calls Crosby A Game Wrecker

"[Maxx Crosby] certainly a game wrecker, no doubt about it,” Harbaugh said. “[He's] one of the best players in football. [He's] a very unpredictable player because of his high level of energy. He brings it every single play. He plays almost every single snap. He's up field, he's underneath, he's into you, he's back around the back side, he's spinning, he's knocking your hands off, [and] he's running to the ball. He's just a game wrecker – to use that word is exactly the right word.”

Lamar Jackson Says He Has A High Motor

"[He has a] high motor, [a] high motor,” Jackson said. “That guy [Maxx Crosby], he's a great edge rusher, man. My hat's off to him. He has a high motor.” Is how star quarterback Lamar Jackson described Crosby.”

The two time MVP was then asked about their previous matchup in 2021 and what Jackson remembers “just going at it all game. I was like, 'This man here ...' I was laughing with Maxx. He was trying to get after me, and I was talking trash back. He was like, 'But I love your game, Lamar,' and stuff like that."

Offensive Lineman Patrick Mekari Says The Plan Is To Stop Crosby

The Ravens Offensive lineman was asked about the challenge of facing Crosby and responded by saying Crosby is “a great player. He's got a lot of different stuff. Just shutting him down, that's the plan."

The Offensive Line Coach Says They Have To Worry About Us

George Warhop got asked about Crosby and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins saying, “ [Christian Wilkins and Maxx Crosby] are good players. Sometimes there's not much you can do but block them. When it's third down, and we're throwing the ball, we can't worry about where those guys are. We can only worry about us going about our business and us blocking them."

The Ravens will take on Crosby and the Raiders Sunday at 1 pm.
