C OAC H H A R BAU G H S AY S COACH HARBAUGH ON BYE WEEK EVALUATIONS AND SEASON OUTLOOK: ”I’m excited about where our offense could go. It’s the same thing on defense and on special teams. You kind of go back and forth between, ‘This is what we’re capable of becoming; these are our issues; these are the areas that we’re going to be what we are, so how can we make the most of that?’ And there are other areas where we have a chance to make a jump, maybe, because of guys getting healthy. There are other things we can take advantage of, schematically, because of the things we’ve done well that we can build on and add to.”

(5-2)

NOTE THE QUOTE DE CALAIS CAMPBELL ON THE DEFENSE: ”I believe in everybody we have. I believe in my guys. The mistakes we’ve made, I know we’re going to fix, and we’re going to go out there and play some good football. In the second half of the season, we’re going to be a force to be reckoned with, that’s for sure.”
