John Harbaugh comments

Playing in the NFL is seen as the opposite of a standard career path. Yet, just like you, the Ravens had to endure a long Monday this week.

After their losing their fourth straight game to the New York Jets on Sunday, Coach John Harbaugh called the team in for a meeting. According to ESPN, the meeting last two hours and 20 minutes. Harbaugh went over each of the teamโ€™s 123 plays, and pointed out all of the mistakes.

While that sounds pretty harsh and a little mind-numbing, Harbaugh said heโ€™s not worried about the love-hate message.

โ€œIt starts with relationships; we have great relationships. I do like and love our guys. I told one of the guys in the meeting today, โ€˜I love you, but I despise you right now on that play. The guys get it; they are OK,โ€ he said.

At the very least, Harbaughโ€™s message will probably stick around in the playersโ€™ heads for a while. The Ravens have this weekend off to think about their losses.
