Ravens say Marc Bulger is still into the game

Days after ESPN analysts Ron Jaworski and Mike Tirico said that Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Marc Bulger seemed deflated and not into football anymore, team spokesman Kevin Byrne said that he believes Jaworski was referencing a conversation with Bulger from last season when he played for the 1-15 St. Louis Rams.

"I think Ron Jaworski was referring to a meeting when Marc was at St. Louis," Byrne said. "He was not referring to the production meeting here. I think that's what got misinterpreted because Jon Gruden gave a preface about Bulger getting beat up in St. Louis, and then he came back and said, ‘Yeah, in the production meeting.' He didn't clarify, but I did check with Ron."

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said he hasn't noticed any signs of Bulger not being into the game.

"I haven't seen that, I don't know how you know if you can read a guy's mind," he said. "Marc has never said that. He didn't say that in that meeting from what Marc told me and I've seen nothing but an energetic, competitive guy who loves football out here.

"He's competitive, he's into everything we do. He was excited about the good throws in the game, he was disappointed with the bad plays. He's done a great job."
