RB Chase Edmonds

(What excites you about going on the road and having an opportunity against a team like the Ravens?) – “I always feel like going in a hostile environment like Baltimore is always a little more exciting. There’s just something about not really hearing the snap count, the fans talking a little bit of smack to you. (It’s) a little more hostile environment, so you always have to be on your P’s and Q’s. It’s something that I look forward to. You just have to be back on your A-game, and everything is a little more of a challenge.”

(How do you think the offense ran in Week 1? What adjustments, if any, will you make this week?) – “I’ll say it wasn’t up to our standard. There were a lot of things that we could clean up in the run game, even some things that we could clean up in the pass game. I think it’s one thing about just really honing in on the details, everybody knowing their assignments, making sure that we’re locked in on our communication. I think it was a lot of small things like that where if guys were on the same page, whether it was who the Mike point is or kind of who we’re working towards in the run game, I think we’ll be able to clean it up.”

(What was practice like out there in the rain today?) – “Coming from the desert, I’m not used to practicing in the rain. So that was my first time really practicing in a full monsoon type of thing. It was cool though. It actually – I always feel like rain practices can be a little sloppy, it wasn’t as sloppy as (I thought). We had guys keeping their feet, catching the ball, so it was good for us to get practice into it.”

(Did you have fun?) – “No. (laughter) Nah, I did. I did.”

(What did you think of getting involved in the passing game and sort of that chemistry already with QB Tua Tagovailoa?) – “That’s something that I feel like is kind of my niche. I feel like I can separate myself around other running backs in the NFL, just with my ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. So just continuing to work with Tua (Tagovailoa), continuing to work in the scheme (and) finding ways that (Head Coach Mike) McDaniel can be creative and get me out in the backfield with mismatches. It’s something that’s going to be a long process – it’s a 17-(game) season. So again, just finding something that I can hone-in on my game and get better at every single week is my goal.”

(What are some of the things that you’ve seen from the Ravens defense that they do well?) – “They cause turnovers, especially in the secondary. Marlon Humphrey is probably the best person right now getting the ball out in the secondary in the NFL. They have playmakers everywhere. They have a lot of speed. (Odafe) Oweh coming off the edge, he loves to get – sack monster. I like Patrick Queen a lot, too, No. 6, the linebacker. He gets to the ball fast and he plays downhill. So we just have to be on our Q’s man. Baltimore is one of those organizations that they’re always going to be good. (Head Coach John) Harbaugh is always going to have them ready to play. Obviously, they have a spectacular quarterback in Lamar (Jackson). So we’re up to the challenge this weekend to find a way to get a win.”

(Just as a competitor, how much are you looking forward to just going on the road and being in that type of environment?) – “As a competitor, I love it. Coming from the NFC West, our division games, and obviously this isn’t a divisional game, but just always having to be on your toes playing against tremendous talent is something I look forward to. I like playing against tough opponents. I like being in the bright lights. It’s something that again, we just have to keep it in the locker room and find ways to get better and get a win.”
