“Not a whole lot of action," stated Stafford. "I’m just kind of hanging out in the hotel watching tape and trying to get ready. It’s been pretty nondescript for me. I’m just getting ready to play ball, but this is really awesome. I came over here on Monday for our workout and then back again obviously today and it’s really cool to be here doing this.”

Jared Verse

Verse spoke on Thursday and talked about his night on the town with teammates. A reserved evening, the players relaxed before resuming their typical schedule.

“No, I didn’t. I had too much free time. I didn't really know what to do. I don’t know Baltimore like that and I’m not about to go find out [laughter] but it was cool. We just got to relax. Me and a couple of guys went to dinner and went to go bowling down the street so that was cool.”

Verse was asked who was the best bowler.

“Me. I could tell you who's not, [Cornerback] Emmanuel [Forbes Jr.] [laughter].”

Verse also commented on practicing at Camden Yards.

“Weird. It’s weird practicing on a baseball field, but it's been cool. People keep saying it feels like a bowl game.”

Chris Shula

The coaches weren't able to enjoy much free time.

“Just trying to stay in our normal routine as much as possible," stated Shula. "Getting back there, we had our normal Wednesday night last night and we’re just getting in the flow. The operations team, everybody's done such a good job, our video people. I was telling my wife, we just have to show up, plug in our computers and it's like we're back at work. It's been very normal and it's a great place to be.”

“Well for coaches, a computer screen is a computer screen and a field is a field even though it's a little bit different, but you know what I mean by that," stated LaFleur. "Nothing different for us as coaches. It's really just the players on both sides getting acclimated to what the time zone is going to be, the time change and all those kinds of things and getting their bodies right. It's fun though. Players I do believe have really embraced this now.”
