"“We say: Get 1 percent better every single day,” Harbaugh said. “Get 1 percent better today and then stack it with another percent tomorrow and then a percent the day after that. The problem is, you don’t want to give up a day then. What if I don’t get a percent better? Now, I’m not just losing that percent but the guy I’m competing against, he’s getting 1 percent better. So, I’m 2 percent behind. That’s being motivated.”"

"Lewis-Moore has been participating in Ravens on-field workouts, and has the green light heading into this week’s start of organized team activities. He’s joined by sophomore defensive end Brent Urban, who also sat out all of last season with his second major knee injury.“It’s really important that Brent Urban and Kapron Lewis-Moore come on,” Head Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday. “Brent looks like he’s 100 percent. Kap looks like he’s really close to 100 percent. I think those guys will be full-go in the OTAs.”"
