Three downs with …Steve  McNair
 
1. On the importance of being able to throw deep: "I think it's more about the execution. If we had completed a couple of passes last week that should have been completed, it would be a lot different story. We wouldn't be here talking about it. It's not just trying to push the ball down the field. We will take what they give us and hopefully get us a couple of deep balls. We just didn't execute last week. That's the change we need to make."
 
2. On his understanding of the Ravens' playbook: "Very comfortable. It's not just about the playbook anymore. It's about going out there and executing and putting this team in a position to win. That's the main thing right now. I'm very comfortable with the offense and what we're doing on Sundays. We did not play a perfect game offensively. We can get better as a team. I think last week we didn't establish our tempo offensively. We've got to establish that."
 
3. On the personality of the offense: "We're on the right track. We are going to take some bumps and bruises here and there, but we have to forget about the bad things and concentrate on getting better. The longer you carry the bad things with you, the longer the process is going to take. Overall, I think the attitude of this offense is phenomenal. We have got some great guys who are willing to pay the price to get better and do the right things."

Three downs with …Charlie Frye
 
1. On the morale of the team: "I think the morale is pretty good. Everybody was down after the game, but we're just working to get our first win. I think everybody is working towards that and we have to be. We've got to pull together, players and coaches have to pull together, and get the win. You can't think like ['We're cursed']. That's a losing mentality. If you're worrying about other stuff, you're thinking about the wrong stuff."
 
2. On his reaction to Kellen Winslow's complaints: "You know Kellen. He's a real intense, high-energy type of guy. He's very competitive. So, he's going to want the ball because he thinks he's a playmaker and that he can move the chains for us. You expect a guy like that to want the ball. But maybe he should have gone to coach [Romeo Crennel] before he went to the media. That's something that coach said. So, we are supportive of the coaches, but we understand Kellen, too."
 
3. On being in the same division with Carson Palmer, Ben Roethlisberger and Steve McNair: "Steve is the veteran of the three. He's proven himself in this league as one of the toughest quarterbacks to play the position and he's been very effective. You can't take anything away from what Ben has done. He won the Super Bowl in Year II. Carson had a heck of a year last year, too. This is really my first year to prove what I can do."

  • 5/24/12: @ThundercatJay Way too soon to tell. Practices are in shorts and far from game speed.

  • 5/24/12: Rookie 2nd round pick Kelechi Osemele took the majority of the first-string repetitions at left guard with Jah Reid rotating in at tackle.
