Ravens coach John Harbaugh did not have much to say about former Ravens safety Earl Thomas. The new launch safety tandem in Baltimore had not added much on Monday.
Chuck Clark (pictured), whose exchange with Thomas made the team’s decision to cut the former All-Pro, told reporters, via ESPN.com’s Jamison Hensley: “At this point, we as a team and organization are moving forward . We put that situation in hindsight. ”
Impressed to say he felt a weight loss with the decision to cut Thomas, Clark said. “I’m ready to tackle that, honestly, and the organization as well. We are just moving forward at this point. ”
DeShon Elliott, who is likely to replace Thomas as the starter-free safety, was briefly complimented before turning the page.
“Earl is a Hall of Famer, without a doubt,” Elliott said via Hensley. ‘I respect his game. But I’m not worried about Earl. I’m worried about myself and what I’ll bring this team. I know I will make my plays. ”
Elliott’s teammates believe it; that is one of the reasons why they were unfaithful to Thomas. The Ravens probably wouldn’t lose much without Thomas. Given the internal upheaval that ensued, it could really be a case of addition by subtraction.
