John Harbaugh Friday Press Conference

Opening statement:"Appreciate you guys being here – great day. We had some great guests here, as you saw, military and Amanda with Make-A-Wish. We're really looking forward to Sunday and looking forward to our crowd – really excited about our crowd getting in there and showing the whole league what Ravens Nation is all about. We need them loud. We need them to disrupt this offense that's coming in here, and we need them to be everything that they've always been – the best fans in the National Football League."

*When did you learn how to dab *(as Harbaugh did to break down the post-practice huddle with Amanda from Make-A-Wish)?* (Luke Jones) "Just now. *(laughter) It's funny, it's been a while. I actually had a pretty good dab going, like a year ago, when it was hot, but I haven't dabbed in over a year. (laughter) I was really rusty. The guys said I didn't bend my arm enough. I had a straight-arm dab the first time, and I got a lot of, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa!' Amanda was laughing at me, but she taught me. She had a whole thing going. She had the hand flip going. She showed me. She made me put her glasses on, if you noticed that – her pink glasses – purple, they were purple – purple glasses to dab. There won't be any video of that. *(laughter) *No, there won't."

Speaking of the fans, they'll be excited to know that CB Jimmy Smith practiced for three-straight days this week. What is it going to mean to have him back? (Joe Platania) "He looks good. We weren't sure early in the week if he was going to be able to go, and he just responded well, and he looks good. It will mean a lot. It will help our defense. We'll be, really, pretty much, full strength out there. That's a big plus for us."

What's RB Javorius "Buck" Allen's status? I've never seen a non-football injury on the report. (Jeff Zrebiec)"'Buck' had a personal issue come up. That's about the most I want to say about it right now. It's just something that's a personal issue right now that he's dealing with. He may not be able to play in the game. We're just going to have to see about that and where he's at with it. We'll know more later."

Is running back depth a concern? I know you guys have gone with two running backs, and FB Kyle Juszczyk before, but is that something you may have to address?* (Jeff Zrebiec)*"We won't address it. Either 'Buck' [Allen] will be up, or we'll just play with the other guys we have."
