Joe Flacco asked whether he’s disappointed: “It’s out of my hands. I got hurt. They drafted Lamar in the first round. At some point, something was going to happen between the two of us.”
Bucs coach Dirk Koetter: ”It says a lot about the Ravens’ coaching staff that they’ve made this change [in offensive philosophy] and it’s been effective.”
10: In its last 10 season openers, Mount St. Mary’s has posted a 3-7 record. Scheduled to face Delaware on Feb. 9, the team will seek its first victory to begin a campaign since 2016 when that squad defeated – guess who? – the Blue Hens, 14-11, on Feb. 12.
The defensive tackle said he addressed the defense Tuesday and the offense today for his tweets. “I’ve apologized, I’ve explained what happened, and I just have to keep being the person that I’ve been this whole time, and everybody will see that,” he said.
Ricard said the past few days have been painful for him. "I’m not going to lie," he said. "It did take a toll on me just because I don’t believe in that, and when I did read what I tweeted, it made me sick. But everybody’s support has made it a lot easier.”
It's easy for a team to get behind Joe Flacco. Same goes for Lamar Jackson because of quotes like this: "This is our team, all of us together. This is our team. I don't go out there and block. I don't go out there and catch the ball. I don't make tackles. I just do my part."
