john harbaugh gives the old guys regular breaks from the hot afternoons. >> great thing about the plus 30, is that young guys get more reps, so you pace out camp for older guys. to get the time. and younger guys need the work. so great for them. >> jared gaither will not see 30 for seven years but he is out there working hard in the heat. supplemental draft pick in 2007 after flunking out of maryland. jared gaither seized the opportunity last year. nailed down the starting left tackle spot left vacant by ogden. and as he prepares for the third nfl season, his coach is looking for jared gaither to be better this time around. >> obviously we are hoping that he becomes an elite left tackle in the league for many years to come. that is up to him. and coaches. all of us. so working together to make it happen. >> elsewhere, they are backing up the brinks truck at eli manning's house. he agreed to a new contract paying $97.5 million over six years. that's an average of roughly $15 million for a year. and 35 million guaranteed. bind him to the giants through 2015. but most importantly, it now

coach john harbaugh loves the way the first half ended. >> no doubt about it two guys that did it, in the situation that was a pressure situation. we work on that all the time. call it end of the house situation. try to get a touchdown but not cause the field goal. for troy to do that two minute drive was impressive. and harper to come back after two earlier disappointments and make the play g to see. >> second half highlights. ravens up. and beck gets hit as he throws it. almost picked off. and instead foster makes the catch and he is off to the races. great cutback at midfield. one man to beat. but foster is tackled at the seven. 64-yard catch. and run, for the 5-foot seven receiver. the very next play. rookie peer man gets the carry and burst up the middle for the 7-yard score. ravens shutout the redskins 23-zero in the preseason opener. >> ravens have tomorrow off and return to training camp saturday in westminster. back to you guys. . >> yes, sir, animals can be trained to do a nine dollars. considering what you get... that's a really great price. back to school costs less at wal

john harbaugh calls the media that could play before the end of the season. obviously the team will take all precautions. derrick mason has -- enrolled for 12 years and says safety must come first. >> you're talking about a neck, not a knee or ankle. you're talking about a neck. something if not corrected and you try to go out there early, you can possibly be paralyzed. so, you know, i just want samari, whatever he needs to do to make sure that he is healthy. y care less if he -- i would love to have him out there, but his health comes first. >> rolle wasn't available to the media this morning, so we didn't get his reaction. coming up in sports at 6, what it's like this week for the players still playing for their professional careers. interesting stuff. rob carlin, abc 2 sports. >> thanks, rob. >>> abc 2 goes back to school with your kids today. we'll take you to dunbar high school, where kids got to hang out with vips on their first day back. >>> grocery shopping and a doctor's visit. who says the retail clinics can sometimes be your best bet. >>> plus, an

>>> john harbaugh would not bite when asked about bart scott's comments after the game monday night. bart had said rex ryan was the real head coach of the ravens last year. harbaugh just said, quote, we don't have any rear view mirrors in our car, so let's look forward. after a long training camp in westminster, most of the starting positions are already sewn up. but as always, there are spots available at the end of the roster. the next two weeks will take care of that. >> we have a lot of battles going on. there is a lot as you call them bubble guys right now. guys that could make it. and the thing i think is really important to understand, our players have to understand, you're not going to back your way into this football team. you have to earn your way on to this football team there is too many good players here. >> mark clayton was back in the practice field, rehabbing that hamstring injury there are reps available for a few receivers. kelley washington is trying to earn some playing time. he had only one catch against the jets for 22 yards and was not afraid to show some attit

and coach john harbaugh sees this as a good sign for the season. >> it was a good start. and obviously we have a lot of work to do. our guys realize that. that's what we do. go back to work saturday. we are physical. protected the football. defense played well. young offensive lineman did a nice job. lots of good things. >> despite the shutout win. ravens could not escape injury. marcus smith out for the season. with a torn acl. he was seen limping off the field after making a tackle on a punt return in the second quarter. it is a tough blow for the second year receiver who was just vying for one of the top four wide receiver spots. >> you go out there every day. you don't think about getting hurt. trying to make plays. make the team. everybody is out there going full speed. trying to do whatever they can to make and be a part of the program and organization. definitely feel i was doing that and got hurt had. it happens. it happened to me. and the situation and circumstances that happened. it sucks, but move forward and go from here. >> no word on when smith will have the

john harbaugh is impressed with both.ot going to rush the decision. >> september 13 is the deadline. you know, have to have a kicker by then. the criteria is whoever kicks the best. not complicated. the game situation are the most important part of it. kickoffs factor in. how stats factor in. but the bottom line is, you know, who we feel best about. some of it will be a gut. because these guys are good. whichever guy we feel best is the guy. or neither of them will be the guy. that's kind of -- not real defined that way. but go with whoever is best. >> o's are in a rough second half of the be season. birds are five and 15 after the all star break. tonight in toronto team turned up the heat trying to salvage what is left of the season. bottom of the second. no score. wells at the plate. and he gets all of that jay sen berken offering. ball gone. 11th of the year. blue jays take a lead. and the very next batter. alex rios with anest less swing, hits it deep left. below the run hit by wells. his 13th. toronto up after the ba

i wonder what john harbaugh would say about that. rex has seen this before. natta, who has three career interceptions gets into the end zone early. haloti said when he caught the ball, he thought of one thing. six points. >> put my hand on it and run it. it was great that trevor got that block on mike and i was able to basically walk in. >> i don't know what we're going to do with him. maybe put him at linebacker or corner or something. the guy is obviously from the corner. but strike that. he is a special -- he is a special player. >> he is not that fast. missed a field goal from 46 yards. he was wide right. he has to have the edge for the job. >>> 11 days away from the opener, and excitement is building for maryland football. the school announced today the terps' home game against virginia tech in november is sold out. >>> and finally, brian matusz is on the mound tonight. the rookie has struck out 20 in just over 18 games since being called up from aa earlier this season. highlights of that gym tonight at 11. that's your sports. back to you. >> thanks, rob

and john harbaugh enjoys that part of the process. >> the most interesting thing is to see how rookiespond. they've been in a pro game before. we know the rookies, it'll be new for them. some haven't shined as much in practice. other guys, will not shine and we will be surprised by them maybe. that's what we look forward to seeing. >> a lot of guys played in front of huge crowds, but even those playing for florida state, g, those guys aren't in the nfl situation. it is just different. they will look around the stadium with big eyes like we all dot first time we had a chance to do that. >> meanwhile, the orioles wrapping up their series with the oakland a's in daylight at camden yards. birds won last night but are still struggling. they went in today trying to avoid their tenth defeat in the last 13 games. bottom of the sixth, o's down. deep fly to deep center. carrying into the seats for two-run homer. that's. cutting the a's lead in half. that's 4-2. top of the ninth, oakland up 5-3. runners on connors. shoots one up the middle. a's win 6-3 to take that three game series. previews of

we'll hear from head coach john harbaugh. plus, the orioles try to win their final games ever at the metrodome. highlights from minnesota next. >>> the metrodome is home to kirby puckett's amazing catch in the 1991 world series. it has a teflon fence. it's where cal ripken recorded his 3,000th career hit. tonight the orioles play their final game at the homer dome. the ground in the hole. orlando cabrera's throw gets away. luke scott come in to score. i was 2-0 o's. that's all jeremy guthrie would need. he goes seven strong innings, strikes out 5, gets alexy in the third. top 4, felix peay, who had a miserable night last night, cranks one to dead center field. a solo shot, peay's fifth of the year. 3-0 birds. top 4, ryan roberts with the grounder. check out cassia. in one motion, twisted for the force at second that is sweet. top 6. peay can on 1st. chad moeller a few outs. the double to the wall in left. peay is fast, all the way from first. the o's win 5-1. they're home tomorrow, the start of a four- game series in clevelan

this evening, rex ryan, the ravens' former defensive coordinator saying hello to hi old boss, john harbaugh homecoming game of sorts. but it was much more than just rex. bart scott was a former pro bowler. jim leonard, a huge fan favorite last year, a bunch of former ravens assistants. there was plenty of pride on the line tonight. but the ravens took it right to the jets. to big haloti nag ga. he made it 7-0. what made the play? ray lewis. ray making rex proud with a big hit on sanchez. later, 3rd and 7, joe flacco, great double move by derrick mason. good to have him back out of retirement. 43-yard down to the jets three. 3rd and goal, flacco with the statue of liberty play. what a play to ray rice for the score. how about cam cameron, dipping into the bag of trips. run to perfection. it was 14-0. then 14-7 late in the half. kellen clemons in, and the ravens defense does it again. jamil mcclain with the interception. he goes in for the score. the ravens hold on 24-23. they're at carolina on saturday. >>> former terp shawn little be the starter for the 49ers. mike singletary made the annou

and john harbaugh knows it. >> in the equation. and yes, that we're prepared to go with one of the two guys we have now. [ laughter ] we don't know. you know. we're hopeful. and i think it's fair to say that everybody that is a ravens fan should be hopeful that one of these two guys can do it. >> he is a legend around here. you can't say enough what he has done. i think they want somebody else to come in and do it all. but, you know, if they don't feel confident with that, they'll have to go back to matt. i'm hoping to show them i can do it full time. >> the ravens play at carolina saturday night. ellijay smith and kelly gregg won't play. expect the starters to go about flee quarters. >>> michael vick making his return to the nfl tonight with the eagles. he got a couple of runs at quarterback. the wheels aren't quite what they used to. just got one yard there. but the arm looks to be right back where he left it off. zips in a 13-yard completion to hank baskett who makes a nice catch. vick and donovan mcnabb seem to be getting along

john harbaugh perfectly okay, with each side of the ball making the other side better. >> i think our guys are competing. and there is always going to be a little bit of talk. it's good-natured. it's teammating getting after each other and competing. you want to bury the other side and build them at the same time. they got nowhere else to be. might as well have fun with what we're doing. >> terrell suggs says he felt like the kid that couldn't come out and play today. he was hobbling around in a walking boot. the heel injury he suffered yesterday is not serious. todd heap says he has been coming off the line as well as he has in years, which is good, because the former pro bowler has just over 600 yards and four touchdowns the last two seasons combined. he feels he and joe flacco are ready to have a buying season. >> you know, obviously we've been working the middle of the field a little bit more. so it's fun. and i think that confidence with joe and that trust with joe and myself is going to continue to grow. and we'll kind of work that into the game man a little more. >> the ravens

i wonder what john harbaugh thinks.t have enjoyed coaching the ravens defense much more than facing it. the ravens scored two defensive touchdowns in the win. haloti ngata scored on his fourth int. >> it was great that trevor got that block on mike, and i was able to basically walk. in. >> i don't know what we're going to do with him. maybe put him in linebacker or corner or somebody something -- obviously we're not going to put him in corner. strike that. but he is a special player. >> good coaching decision right there. >>> graham ganoe missed a field goal, goes wide reid right. steven hauschka leads. >>> maryland opens in 11 days on the west coast. the terps announced today their home game with virginia tech in november is sold out. >>> and finally, we always report when athletes get in trouble. how about when they do good. mayor dixon helped the ray lewis foundation today, giving away free backpacks for kids going back to school. ray has always taken great pride in helping out in a community, and he keeps it up toda

john harbaugh perfectly okay with each side of the ball, making the other play better. >> i wouldn'tategorize it. i think our guys are competing. and there is always going to be a little bit of talkback. it's good-natured. it's teammating getting after each other and competing. you want to bury the other side and you want to build them up at the same time. we got nowhere else to be, right? we might adds well have fun with what we're doing. >> unfortunately, terrell suggs did not practice, just a minor heel injury. he'll be back in a few days. bad do see him out of uniform. good do see him in an orioles had. >> i think the city willing to invest in my future and my kids' future, i better change what hats i'm wearing around these days. i found another o's hats to go with my, you know, with my wardrobe. >> basically what he is saying if you give hip $66 million. >> he'll wear an orioles hat. he usually wears yankees hats. >> you're going to be wearing a new hat soon. >> the hat of husband. >> so this is your last night with us for a few weeks because as you may know, rob is getting marr

sue seconds left in the game, john harbaugh stopped the clock to create a simulated end-of-the game fieldl opportunity for the rookie. high snap, and gineau missed a 28 yard field goal try. believe me, coaches notice things like that. >> we found out we have to be better at knocking through the uprights, and we need a high snap. it is on the kicker to find a way to knock it through. but they made some kicks, too, and that's good to see. that's the first time in a game situation, so they did well. >> rex ryan making preseason debut as coach of the jets. ryan has a quarterback battle that will get interesting in a hurry. top pick mark sanchez' first play. found him for a 48 yard gain, and they love the rookie for the moment in new york. former ravens quarterback trying to get a back-up job with the rams. 3 for 9 in his rams debut. not exactly stellar, but it is -- rex ryan and his jets come to m&t bank stadium a week from monday night for preseason game number two. we'll have it for you here on tv 11 and on wbal radio 98 rock. i'm gerry sandusky. hope your weekend is offer to a fantastic st
