A transcript of Ravens tight end Todd Heap talking with the Baltimore media:

On how he is feeling after his mild concussion: “[I feel] a lot better today. In practice [I] felt fine, so I’m going to be ready to go Sunday.”

On whether he felt RB Jamal Lewis wasn’t happy in Baltimore: “No. Jamal is a guy who’s going to give you everything he’s got. When we see him over on the other side of the field, that’s what we’re expecting – everything he’s got. I’m pretty sure he’s been waiting for this game for awhile. So, we’re going to get Jamal’s best and I know our defense will be up to that challenge.”

On describing how he felt right after he was hit hard on Sunday: “Describe it? I don’t know too many guys who can really describe it. You get hit and you don’t remember much after that. I go back and look at it and I see that he hit me pretty dang good and high. I wouldn’t say it was the dirtiest hit I’ve ever seen. It was probably more vicious me hitting the ground than him hitting me, but obviously it was a brutal hit. He hit me good.”

On whether his wife was worried about him playing after the hit: “No. Luckily she doesn’t make football decisions for me. I’m sure she thought that. I made sure that I was aware of my surroundings before I talked to her. I didn’t talk to her right away. I wanted to make sure I had everything together before I went and saw her.”

On whether he worries about the effects of sustaining concussions: “I’ve never really had anything like that. That was really the first time I’ve experienced that. I’ve experienced hard hits before. I wouldn’t even say that was the hardest hit I’ve ever taken. But I haven’t experienced anything quite like that, so I didn’t have anything to go off of or to compare it to. I feel fine now, so I can’t really worry about that now.”

On whether he feels Cleveland is a dangerous team: “The thing about Cleveland [is that] they’re always dangerous. When we play them we know what type of game it’s going to be, especially at their place with their fans. We know what to expect. I don’t care what records are or what time of the year it is. You always know what type of game you’re going into [against Cleveland] and you can’t really look at how the game went last week or how their season is going. We know what to expect when we’re going into their place.”

On whether the identity of the Ravens has changed from a run-first team to a pass-first team: “I don’t know about that. I don’t know if you can really look at the first few games of the season and say what our identify is yet. Obviously, we’ve done some successful things throwing the ball and we’ve moved down the ball down the field and there are some things we can get better at. [Seeing] Willis [McGahee], the way he ran the other night, and getting a few guys going like that – that was positive to see. Now when we get up in games like that, we need to figure out a way to finish them off.”
