OWINGS MILLS, Md. Christian Fischer Jersey . -- As teammates shouted We got your back, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco acknowledged he was taken aback by comments from former teammate Ray Lewis, who called out the former Super Bowl MVP for a lack of passion for the game.Its a little surprising coming from Ray, Flacco said after Fridays practice. But its been something Ive dealt with probably back before high school. Its just part of my personality. When things are going good, its questioned as if its a good thing. When things arent going as well as you might like them to be, its always a question as to whether my personality is that of one that fits what an NFL quarterback should be. Its not anything Im not used to. But it is a little bit different coming from Ray.On Thursday, Lewis told Fox Sports 1 that Flaccos emotionless approach to football is a reason for the quarterbacks inconsistency. Flacco ranks 29th in the NFL in passer rating (78.3) this season, throwing as many interceptions (nine) as touchdowns.Gifted? Absolutely. Passionate about what he do? Ive never seen that, Lewis said. I dont know what that looks like.Lewis comments struck a nerve in the Ravens locker room and seemed to galvanize many players leading up to Sundays high-profile road game against the Cowboys.Safety Eric Weddle and cornerback Jimmy Smith could be heard shouting support in the background while Flacco spoke to reporters. Flacco smiled when he heard the uproar in the locker room.Its just odd that you hear Ray Lewis saying something, Weddle said. Joe Flacco won you a Super Bowl; did you forget about that?Flacco helped Lewis and the Ravens to the Super Bowl in 2012 with a nearly unprecedented postseason run. He joined Joe Montana as the only players to produce 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the playoffs.In addressing Lewis comments, Flacco never took a shot at the player who has a statue outside M&T Bank Stadium. Flacco initially didnt see what Lewis said about him, but he decided to watch after coach John Harbaugh brought it up Friday morning.You want to be able to listen to what he says and all that, Flacco said. I know he hasnt been here for a while. We want him to feel a part of this place. We want him to come around.Wide receiver Steve Smith Sr.?showed respect for the future Hall of Fame linebacker, saying Lewis voice carries weight. But he also pointed out that time has passed and players change.Lewis has been away from the Ravens locker room for four years, which is nearly as long as he was teammates with Flacco (2008-12).You dont play this game this long and be able to accomplish some of the things that Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, all the great guys that have played with the Baltimore Ravens that Ive admired, you dont play this long without having a drive or a passion for the game, Smith said.Weddle was not as restrained when it came to Lewis.We love Joe. Hes our guy, Weddle said. Hes a great teammate, professional, leads, everything you want. Its kind of irrelevant. We dont really care what the outside thinks. For an old teammate to say that, its just like, Dont you have something better to talk about? I guess he didnt.Flacco has often been called Joe Cool for his stoic and quiet demeanor. But members in the organization pointed out that Flacco shows his passion in different ways. He never missed a game until his eighth season, putting together the fifth-longest streak for an NFL quarterback. When he tore two ligaments in his knee last November, he stayed in the game to finish out the final few plays. In getting back from the knee injury, he never missed a day of rehab.I think everybody expresses their passion in different ways, Harbaugh said. Youve got a locker room full of guys and an office full of coaches. Everybody is different. Every personality is different. Every single guy does their thing in a different way, but every single guy here cares deeply and works very hard and wants to be great at what they do.Will Flacco call Lewis to address the comments?Probably not, Flacco said. Me and Ray are going to cross paths again. It might be brought up. It might not. Who knows? Clayton Keller Jersey .

Fredrik Sjostrom Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. https://www.cheapcoyotes.com/1228z-brad-...ey-coyotes.html . A statement from the worlds top-ranked player says all checks "were satisfactory and showed positive evolution" regarding the injury, which contributed to his loss to Stanislas Wawrinka in the final in Melbourne. Gold Coast recruit Nathan Peats is all too aware of the similarity between his arrival at the Titans and that of NRL superstar Jarryd Hayne.Forced out of Parramatta in May as the Eels desperately tried to make themselves salary cap compliant, the 25-year-old was a somewhat reluctant pick-up for the Titans.Four months on and the Eels off-field woes have now played a significant role in the Titans landing dual Dally M medallist Hayne on a lucrative two-year deal.Hayne says he did all he could to return to the Eels - the club he left in 2014 to pursue a career in the NFL in the United States.But without a formal offer and the clubs boardroom in disarray, Hayne took up an offer to join Peats at the Titans.Theres no-one else to blame but Parramatta themselves I guess, Peats told AAP.Ive moved on and Im sure Haynesies probably moved on from it now. Itll probably take him a couple of weeks to settle in here like it did me but youre still getting paid to play footy so its pretty easy to adjust these days. Jeremy Roenick Jersey. .Haynes arrival has created an instant buzz on the Gold Coast, with expectations of a 27,400 sellout crowd for Sundays clash with the Warriors which would eclipse the record crowd for the Titans of 27,227 against Brisbane in a 2009 qualifying final.Peats said its important however for the team to not get too distracted by Haynes arrival with the eighth-placed Warriors sitting just one point above the Titans heading into the match.If we lose this week and other teams win we could go to 10th, he said.We cant get too far ahead of ourselves.Its exciting (to have Hayne) but were trying to play it down a bit. Weve still got a job to do this weekend against the Warriors. ' ' '
