My hope is that Travis Henry will be in the best football shape of his life in four weeks, |
No one has an excuse, |
No, Brian. I'm saying that if Boller wants to sit one out, he should do so in true Ravens' fashion: commit a crime and get suspended by the league. |
Nobody really knows what took place between now and then, but what we do know is that we will be without his services for the next four weeks. Travis is extremely regretful for his actions, for his choices, for his decisions. It has affected him personally, his family, and obviously, it has hurt this football team. |
not anticipating him missing any time past Pittsburgh. |
Now Atlanta didn't spend a whole lot of time game-planning. Those things stayed basic, and we were able to take advantage of it. |
Obviously we will be challenged in the first six weeks with four of the six on the road. |
Obviously, we had some cap issues staring us in the face over the last couple of years, so we knew we'd have to make some tough decisions, |
Of course ... I'm concerned. They were told exactly what to do on kickoff special team and couldn't get it down. A lot of the young guys that we want to participate this year, they are going to have to pick it up for the team. |
One of those screens that I'm talking about got called back, |
Our people upstairs said it was clearly a lateral. You have to have an awful lot to overturn it, and I was right there and I felt like it was a lateral. |
Our philosophy has changed primarily because we are so young, ... We're coming back off of injuries and we need to build some momentum. We didn't have a particularly good outing last week. We need to put something together. Regardless of what the Packers would like to do, we are going to play and we're going to play hard. |
Our special teams kind of broke even last week, ... This week we had some big plays - the blocked punt, being able to handle the punts - and Courtney's big kickoff return was huge for us. These guys are starting to gain confidence. And of course, Craigs punting was huge for field position changes. |
Our whole objective this week was to protect the football, and up until the time in which we gave it up, we were winning, ... That is the difference in the ballgame, the three turnovers. |
