On the first full day of the Ravens 2019 training camp, head coach John Harabugh, along with defensive leaders Matthew Judon and Patrick Onwuasor, stepped behind the microphones to field questions following practice. Their most noteworthy quotes:
John Harbaugh
On team speed -
“No doubt, we’re faster.... Yeah, we wanna be fast.”
On the challenges of installing a new offense -
“ I trust our coaches, James Urban does a great job, of course Greg Roman. I’ll talk to Lamar and if I see something, I’ll just tell him from my perspective. Usually it is from the secondary.”
Matthew Judon
On pressure to generate pressure -
“It really [doesn’t] matter who gets sacks, gets stops... [We’re looking for] some guys to step up this year.
On goals for the season -
“I don’t really do number goals because what if I reach that number before the end of the year? I’m just gonna go out there and try to dominate.”
‘Peanut’ Onwuasor
On becoming a face of the defense -
“It’s exciting. Judon and Pierce and Henry, all of us coming up at the same time... and now we’re the vets.”
On Harbaugh’s opening message to the defense -
“Just be smart, physical, tough, blue-collar and be humble. Same thing with Baltimore, we’re never going to back down from anybody.”
