FOOTBALL IS BACK!

DT Brandon williams

as we embark on the 2019 season, let's take a look at what some of your favorite ravens are saying...

“Every year is different. Every year is a different team. The Ravens of this year are not like the Ravens of last year. Every year is a different year, but we strive to do the same thing and be great ever year. Coming in, it feels like a new team, but at the same time, we know our mission. We know our direction, and we know where we want to go.”

– DT Brandon williams "I think all three of us do things extremely well. I think we’re going to make it hard on the coaches to take us off the field. We’re out there making plays. Whether it’s Nick [Boyle], whether it’s Mark [Andrews], whether it’s myself. You guys see us: we’re all over the field making catches. It’s really fun to be in this offense, especially to be a tight end."

– TE hayden hurst “I think we already know we can play at a high level. It’s already been done. We expect to play at that level. We have a lot of pride in our [secondary] room. We have a lot of ballers and people who are striving for excellence. I think our expectations are set pretty high this year.”

“I’m very comfortable. I had months to prepare with it. There has been a lot of studying going on. I’m getting my chemistry down with my guys. I love it. I love the offense. Guys [are] flying around, guys [are] getting open. Our defense is giving us great looks. But our offense, they’re working. From the tight ends to the receivers, running backs and the linemen ... Our offense is looking pretty good.”

"We definitely have the potential to be the best. And it starts with attitude, which we already have. So, now it’s just getting to kick-start everything and making sure we’re on the same page. Communication – I go back to that, because that’s big for us. We have it all. We’re going to hit. We’re going to fly around. We’re very physical and fast. We have big corners on the outside. Tony [Jefferson] has the juice at the strong safety. ‘Tay’ [Tavon Young] has it locked up at the nickel. We got it. And we have people coming off the bench, that’s nice, as well, with ‘B’ [Brandon] Carr. We have all the pieces. We have depth. We just need to keep communicating.”

"[Coach Harbaugh told us to] just be a smart, physical, tough, blue-collar defense and be humble. Same thing with Baltimore – we’re never going to back down for anybody. We’re going to do what we have to do."
