BB: Well, this is a real good football team, a real good organization that we’re facing this week. Ozzie [Newsome] and John [Harbaugh] have done a tremendous job at putting together this team. They’re explosive. They’re talented. They’re very physical. They play smart football. They’re really pretty good at everything they do — the running game, the passing game, the kicking game — really just all phases of the game. They’re a good situational football team and they can play to their own different styles and they can also defend and deal with the different styles that the opponents bring to them. I think it’s been impressive what they’ve been able to do. They’ve gotten off to a great start, playing from ahead, playing an offensive system – even though they’ve been in different styles of it – they’ve been effective. They’ve moved the ball, they’ve got it down the field. They’ve run it. They’ve thrown it. They’ve been consistent. They’ve been good in the red area [and] they’ve been good on third down. They’re real good on first down. Defensively, they play very well in the red area. They’ve already got a lot of negative plays – sacks, turnovers, negative runs, stuff like that. Of course, with John’s [Harbaugh] background in the kicking game, that’s always a strength of any team that he’s a part of and certainly [with] the Ravens. Another good tight end with [Todd] Heap. [The Ravens have a] real experienced group of receivers, guys that really know what they’re doing and good depth at the skill positions, at running back, and a big offensive line. Not a lot of weaknesses and that’s shown up in the way that they play and the way they’ve started the season. They’ve been impressive to watch. They’re well-coached and they’re tough. They are physical.
