John Harbaugh on Tavius Robinson: He plays like a Raven

Backup strongside outside linebacker Tavius Robinson was one of the Baltimore Ravens main heroes on Saturday. With 36 seconds left in the game, and Baltimore leading 13-12, Robinson made the game-saving tackle on the Falcons’ two-point conversion attempt.

He burst into the opposing backfield untouched, and recorded a critical TFL.

After the game, John Harbaugh paid Robinson the ultimate complement.

“If you want to talk about ‘Playing like a Raven,’ if that’s a term that you want to use, just tag it right next to his name,”  Baltimore’s head coach told reporters after the game.

“He’s that kind of guy.”

At any level of football, any time a coach invokes the team’s branding to describe an individual player, it’s gigantic praise. While he won’t be usurping Kyle Van Noy as the starter, Robinson will no doubt have a major role to play this season in blitzing packages on opponent passing downs.

Robinson will be heavily involved in the plays Zach Orr calls that have a heavy emphasis on edge rushing.
