The heat was oppressive Thursday, but Head Coach John Harbaugh liked how the players responded.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Ravens had one of their sharpest practices of training camp on their second straight day in pads, working in afternoon temperatures in the mid-90’s with the heat index close to 100.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There were few pre-snap penalties and players worked hard without losing their composure. Harbaugh thought the team took practice to another level after a mixed performance on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It was probably 40 percent good, 60 percent sloppy yesterday,” Harbaugh said. “Today was much, much crisper on both sides of the ball.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There was a 10-minute break during practice when players went inside to cool off while Harbaugh questions answered from fans. Harbaugh liked the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving players an intermission period on such a hot day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“With this heat, we felt like that would be like a simulation of halftime,” Harbaugh said. “Try to bring the body temperatures down. The players weren’t so thrilled about it, the ones I talked to, because they want to keep going and get it done. But I think it was a smart thing to do, and we respect that. Respect the heat, guys were working hard, so that’s what we did.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
