After signing a four-year contract, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harba

OWINGS MILLS Womens Mark Andrews Jersey , Md. (AP) — ugh is excited about a "new era" for a team already well on its way to sporting a different look in 2019.The metamorphosis of the Ravens began with the ascension of rookie Lamar Jackson to starting quarterback in November. In the 2½ weeks since Baltimore was eliminated from the playoffs with a 23-17 loss to the Chargers, Eric DeCosta took over as general manager, Greg Roman was promoted to offensive coordinator and Harbaugh signed a deal through 2022.After Joe Flacco served as the starting quarterback for the better part of 11 seasons, Harbaugh will team with Roman and DeCosta to put together a run-oriented offense headed by the fleet-footed, slippery Jackson. "It is a new era of football," Harbaugh said Friday. "We'll be a different team than we were last year. We'll be a different team than we ever were before because of a lot of changes. There are a lot of new pieces in place, and I'm excited about it."Roman replaced Marty Mornhinweg because of his proficiency with the running game and his experience working with quarterbacks who were a threat to run, most notably Colin Kaepernick with San Francisco in 2012 and Tyrod Taylor with Buffalo in 2015."This was just me looking at our situation and feeling that was the direction we needed to go Mark Andrews Jersey White ," Harbaugh said. "The way our offense was going to be built from the ground up, we needed to start with the running game and build into the play-action pass and then the drop-back pass from there. Kind of built around our quarterback and what he's going to bring to the table going forward."The Ravens closed the regular season with a 6-1 surge under Jackson, who took over for the injured Flacco on Nov. 18. The switch turned Baltimore into a team that relied on ball control and the ability of Jackson to use his legs more than his arm, and the result was an AFC North title that ended the Ravens' three-year hiatus from the playoffs.Harbaugh understands completely that Jackson — who ran 147 times for 695 yards and five touchdowns — is at risk every time he tucks the ball and heads downfield. But in the coach's mind, the reward outweighs the potential for injury."You can't live your life in fear. I think there's just as much fear on the other side that he's going to take that thing to the house when he gets out and runs," Harbaugh insisted. "So we'll live in that world. Lamar is just a heck of a player. He's a threat every time he touches the ball, run and pass."With Flacco headed elsewhere as a free agent, Harbaugh said, "We still have to sign a No. 2 quarterback https://www.theravenslockerroom.com/authentic-mark-andrews-jersey , potentially a No. 3 quarterback. I would probably lean toward the backup being similar to Lamar. Obviously, RG3 (2018 backup Robert Griffin III) is a great option there. Some have written about Tyrod. There are others out there like that."That task will fall on DeCosta, the longtime assistant to Ozzie Newsome. DeCosta spurned several offers from other teams while hoping the Ravens' job would be his and owner Steve Bisciotti finally made it happen.Because DeCosta had been around for so long, Harbaugh said the transition has been "seamless.""Eric's energy, his passion, his ideas, it's exciting," Harbaugh said. "It's a new start, but yet we've been together side by side for 11 years. So we've got all that behind us and we're standing on that."Regarding personnel Iman Marshall Baltimore Ravens Jersey , Harbaugh is hoping Pro Bowlers Eric Weddle and Marshal Yanda will return in 2019."They're both under contract. Unless something changes along the way, they will be back. No decisions have been made," the coach said. "I want them both back, for sure. We'll do everything we can to make that happen."Also, Harbaugh said several players have undergone surgery this month and should be ready before training camp, including offensive lineman Alex Lewis (shoulder), safety Tony Jefferson (ankle), cornerback Tavon Young (sports hernia) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (sports hernia).Ravens head coach John Harbaugh provided injury updates on DeShon Elliott and Greg Senat The Ravens defeated the Miami Dolphins 27-10 in their fourth preseason contest to extend their winning streak to 12. However, this meaningless preseason win may have come at a cost as DeShon Elliott and Greg Senat both left the game early due to injuries. Head coach John Harbaugh spoke to the media following Tuesday’s practice Youth Iman Marshall Jersey , and he gave an injury update regarding both players.“[Greg Senat] has turf-toe. He’ll be out for a while, so we’ll just have to play that one by ear. Ozzie [Newsome] will have to decide how he wants to handle it going into the 53-man roster,” Harbaugh stated. Senat’s roster chances were not high heading into training camp, but after putting together a solid preseason, his roster stock improved. He could have served as a backup swing tackle for the Ravens. One of the biggest weaknesses on their roster is their lack of quality depth along the offensive line. “It’s going to be a long time. What is a fracture of a forearm, it’s a long time. It’s not really a whole year, but at what point in time could a guy come back? For the playoffs? We’ll have to see how that goes,” Harbaugh said regarding Elliott’s injury.Baltimore’s secondary is expected to be one of the best in the league this season, and Elliott would have likely had a role defensively Iman Marshall Baltimore Ravens Jersey , while also contributing on special teams. He flashed throughout training camp due to his physicality and great instincts. However, the Ravens have the depth to replace Elliott on the backend of the defense.Harbaugh did not indicate where these two rookies would end up, but they could both land on injured reserve. Given the NFL’s new rule changes, Baltimore could use the injured reserve-return designation for either of these players. The one caveat is they will only be eligible for this designation if they are placed on injured reserve after 4:00 pm ET on September 2nd.
