John Harbaugh optimistic over pass rush

John Harbaugh has said that he has been "encouraged" by the Baltimore Ravens' ability to rush the passer during the pre-season.

The Super Bowl champions have made 204 tackles, six sacks and three forced fumbles so far this pre-season.

The head coach told reporters: "Yes, [I'm] encouraged by the pass rush. Probably. You take the pre-season games and the practice all into account.

"We're going to have a really good pass rush. There's no question that we're going to be able to rush the passer with three, four, five or six. We'll do all of those, we'll mix it all up."

The Ravens face the St Louis Rams tomorrow.
