Ravens preseason winning streak:
.@michaelpRTD: “The Ravens have won 19 straight preseason games. Does that do anything for you?”
Ron Rivera: “What’s one of my catchphrases? That’s interesting.”
(One of Rivera’s catchphrases is to “focus on what’s important, not what’s interesting.”)

Dax Milne:
Rivera said Dax has played a lot of football. He did a lot of good things for BYU. He’s a competitor, he’s bright and plays hard. The team is very intrigued by how he plays.

PBU:
Chase Young at the mic. He had a knocked down pass today, and he said a lot of that just comes down to repetitions and watching film.

Production:
Young could put a number out there for how many sacks he wants to get this year. But he would rather just go out and produce.

Inside DL:
Young said the interior defensive linemen help the edge rushers “like crazy.” QBs can’t step up in the pocket because Jon Allen and Payne crash the inside.

Ravens preseason winning streak:
Chase Young smiled when @michaelpRTD brought up that the Ravens have 19 straight wins in the preseason.
Asked about if they’re thinking about ending it, Young smiled and said, “Yeahhhh, we’ve heard about it.”

Jaret Patterson:
Young has known Jaret Patterson since eighth grade. He’s always been someone the coaches can count on. He said he already knew he could be the player that he’s shown over the past two preseason games

“He’s cooking dudes, shaking dudes. I already knew this was gonna happen.” Chase Young on Jaret Patterson’s preseason. Adds he was “glad” nobody drafted Patterson because it allowed Washington to land the RB pic.twitter.com/zKTbO5kaaA

Week 1:
Young feels a lot better going into this year than he did last year. He’s anxious and excited at the same time for Week 1
