Nightcap Hour 2: Ravens Players SOUND OFF on John Harbaugh + Klay Thompson SIGNS With Miami HEAT + DeMar DeRozan SIGNS with NUGGETS

**Shannon Sharpe** (0:00)
Quite a few Ravens and former Ravens have taken veiled shots at John Harbaugh and Reese Dave. Offensive lineman Ronnie Staley took shots at Harbaugh while praising new coach Jesse Minter's style, saying Minter just valued the finer details. Rashad Bateman too, saying from head coach to OC to receiver coaches, everybody really harps on details and the small things, that's just not what we're in our past. Then today, Deshaun Elliott, Patrick Queen, criticized Raven's conditioning program. Let's take a listen to what some of these guys had to say.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:32)
Something at the Baltimore Ravens that a lot of people don't know about. Training was hard.

**Chad Johnson** (0:36)
We did lift a lot of weights.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:38)
Training was hard. Training was hard.

**Chad Johnson** (0:39)
We did lift hard.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:41)
You lift heavy. Heavy. Every day.

**Chad Johnson** (0:44)
I always heard that too.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:46)
Y'all would squat every day.

**Chad Johnson** (0:48)
Day clean. I mean, power clean. Power clean.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:50)
Squats. Like squatting. That's why those running backs were getting hurt that one year too.

**Chad Johnson** (0:55)
I mean, I took my pick out there one year because of that show.

**Gilbert Arenas** (0:58)
Yeah, it was.
I think the worst thing was the conditioning test by far. What was the conditioning test? 150-yard shuttles.

**Chad Johnson** (1:05)
Yeah. So it's like, you go 20 It's a... it was 10, 10, 150s.

**Gilbert Arenas** (1:11)
No, that's what y'all had. We had the 25-yard back, 25 yards back, 25 yards back. You got to make that a certain amount of time and you want to get half that rest.
So it was... a lot of hamstrings got pulled. Yeah, it was 12 reps. A lot of hamstrings got pulled. But training was crazy, but culture-wise, I think that locker room was close, that I was a part of. It was every single guy on the team connected with each other. Like Lamar would be hanging out with the D-line and you got Roquan going to hang out with freaking O-line and Mark Andrews over there talking to us and you got kickers and everything, just like everybody was close. So the culture was cool.
It was a good place. It was a good place.

**Shannon Sharpe** (1:59)
What do you think, Ocho?

**Chad Johnson** (2:01)
I mean, it sounds like the same, especially when it comes to that condition, the test, yeah, well, it's the same thing we had to do when I was playing.
I see that hadn't changed much. Obviously, that's why you want to come in the shape. You don't go to camp trying to get yourself in the shape. No, you got to not come in tip top, but at least halfway so you get through things like that. And you already know they're coming anyway. As far as the players taking shots at the coaches, you don't want to undermine them. You don't want to undermine them. Harbaugh has had success for a reason when he was in Baltimore. He had success. Now, most of the time that success didn't in the championship or lifting that Lombardi trophy, but he did have success. And the way he did things is one of the reasons why you were always in contention year in and year out. Obviously, having the player and the quarterback who did it, Lamar Jackson, it helps that cause as well. But I don't like the taking the shots when someone new comes in. And now you have unwanted and unnecessary pressure based on the words that came out of your mouth about your former coach. So now people are expecting based on what you're saying, expecting you guys to reach the promise by now.
I'm not saying you're making it worse on yourself, but you're making it worse on everyone else, including the head coach, based on what you said about your former head coach.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:13)
Hey, that's why you want to come in the camp in decent shape, bro. He talking about pulling them hamstrings, Unc and Ocho, they're guys who come in the camp trying to get in shape, using camp to get in shape. That's what you have. You have all them soft tissue injuries, especially them hamstrings. They're going to be the first to go. Yeah, that's how we doing this running. Yep.
Yeah. We had that test, we had that 10, 40, Ocho, remember that 40 yard dash test? You got 10, 40 yard dashes, and you got to make up a certain amount of time.

**Gilbert Arenas** (3:44)
And so, you only get rest for a certain amount of time.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:47)
So, you run a four, three, your slowest 40 can't be over four, six. And basically, you get like 30 seconds rest.
