We’re like in a submarine
Justin Hardy, East Carolina (Round 3)Hardy is in the mold of Lockett, a smaller-framed, highly productive receiver. The former walk-on has an edge to his game. He’s extremely quick and has very sticky hands that have made some circus catches. ravens jerseys Hardy is known for having strong practice habits, and competes on every snap.Stefon Diggs, Maryland (Round 3-4)Diggs is another speed merchant with homerun potential every time he touches the ball. He’s also a dynamic special teams returner, who could help offset the loss of Jacoby Jones. Diggs has trained with Smith this offseason. Injuries have been a concern.DaVaris Daniels, Notre Dame (Round 7)Daniels was expected to be Notre Dame’s top receiver last season, but after an investigation into academic fraud, he was suspended for 2014. He still entered the draft, and could be a late bargain. Daniels had 49 catches for 745 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore.Ravens Haven't Invested In Joe Flacco Targets Recently.Steelers nab Mosley in draft do-over. Diggs gets advice from Torrey. AFC North ranked 2nd best in NFL.In an ESPN wrap-up video from the NFL Owners Meetings, a Pittsburgh reporter joked about how the Steelers would be very happy if the Ravens chose not to find quarterback Joe Flacconew weapons.If the season started today, the two starting wide receivers would be Steve Smith Sr., who turns 36 in May, and perhaps either Kamar Aiken or Marlon Brown, who have a combined one start between them.Second-year Crockett Gillmore would be the starting tight end, but he sees himself as a more of a blocker than a receiver.“They have to find someone to catch the ball,”cutsom Ravens jerseys reporter Jamison Hensley said in the video. “Joe Flacco right now only has one legitimate receiver on the team and that’s Steve Smith.”“I can tell Jamison, [the Steelers] think Baltimore does not have to upgrade. Keep the pass catchers the way they are,” Steelers reporter Scott Brown replied. We Need to Win More to Get RecognitionOn Sunday night, I told John Harbaugh that he’s going to have to win at least one more playoff game before people recognize him and call him by name.There was a group of Ravens fans near the front of our team buses after the game at Dolphin Stadium. They were separated from the buses by bicycle racks. When they recognized a Raven, they would shout and cheer, asking for the person to come near them and sign autographs.It was fun to watch and nice to see that a number of our players responded. When coach Harbaugh appeared, the crowd started yelling, “Coach, Coach, great job. Come over here, PLEASE! PLEASE!” One of the loudest fans blurted: “Coach, Jim, Jim, right here, right here.”Jim Harbaugh, of course, is John’s younger brother who played 14 NFL seasons and is the head coach at Stanford.When we arrived back in Baltimore, there was a group of fans waiting for us. I was walking with coach Harbaugh when a woman stopped him for an autograph. Also there was an older gentleman who said he was so excited with the way the Ravens were playing and how much he enjoyed watching the game earlier that day. With that, the man extended his hand to John and said, “What’s your name, and what do you do with the Ravens?”You gotta love it.As we walked away, John said: “You’re just the guy I didn’t want to see that.” Like I told him, looks like we have to win some more.We All Live in a Yellow SubmarineCoach Harbaugh had a great line a week ago when he was asked whether he could feel the excitement about the Ravens from the community. “I’m aware of it through you guys (the media) and hearing some things from staff, but no, the coaches can’t really feel it.“We’re like in a submarine,” Harbaugh continued. “It’s a beautiful submarine, and the food is good, but, as coaches, authentic ravens jerseys we come in here Monday morning and basically stay in the building until Friday afternoon. Then the submarine emerges, and we get to leave.”To be honest, that’s not much of an exaggeration. Coaches work incredibly long hours.
