bringing change dramatic personnel somebody
We are the personnel we are. To me, a dramatic personnel change would be bringing somebody in from the outside. That, barring injury, isn't going to happen.
example great placed value
We have a great example for the young guys. He placed that much value at one more opportunity.
across communication constant feels thrilled
We've had constant communication and everybody's come back just thrilled with Jamal's attitude, how he looks, how he feels about himself, and his circumstances across the board,
looked position since
We've looked at these quarterbacks more than we've looked at any position since I've been here,
agency collective confident free improve next raise
Our collective mind-set is to improve this team. We'll keep doing this through the draft, free agency and in other ways. It's a disappointment to not get T.O., but I'm confident in our abilities to raise the Ravens to the next level.
chance enjoys football game last might presence veteran
I think he is soaking up everything, ... I think he has a sense of everything going by for the last time. He enjoys the game and he has that veteran presence to know, 'You know what? This is kind of special. There's a chance I might have been out of football altogether, so I want to enjoy this.'
certainly ground happens hope starting wants zero
I think he really wants to be here. He really wants to be back with us. You never know, but I would certainly hope it happens for us. If we get Duane back, and you look at our defense, what we still have left, we're not starting at ground zero with that group. And that's the perception.
smarter
I think Marvin would have been the smarter hire, but I'm biased,
ability effect force huge lewis reckoned run
Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with. When it's all said and done, barring injuries, he will have a huge effect our ability to run the ball.
clearly physical rhythm running stronger typical
Jamal clearly had that rhythm -- good, tough, physical running -- and he got stronger as he went, which is typical of what you see.
across street sure walk
Just make sure we walk across that street on Sunday,
ahead brought changes credit deserve forward good jim needed work
Jim was brought in to make the changes that needed to be made schematically, emotionally, strategically and fundamentally for us to go forward in conjunction with some very good coaches. They collectively and Jim individually deserve all the credit for the improvements that we've seen. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.
approach came countless deep detailed given good head hours league learning mike needs passionate people qualities spent talking thinker works
Mike analyzes everything. He works at his trade. He came into it new, and spent countless hours learning the craft, talking with people around the league to find out what it is he needs to do, and given that opportunity, how he would approach being a head coach. He's very detailed in his preparation. Mike's a very deep thinker and very passionate about the game, and those are two pretty good qualities to become a head coach.
behavior call capable criminal kyle
Look, Fish, ... the only criminal behavior Kyle is capable of is quarterbacking. So, he is what we would call a 'hardened criminal.'
