Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman was recently demoted. Due to some inept play on the outside this season, the Ravens sent him to the bench. While the player is taking it in stride, even claiming he knows why it is being done, Perriman doesn't actually agree with the move.

“I don’t totally agree with it, but I understand why it happened,” Perriman said, via the Baltimore Sun. “I let them guys up there, they control that. All I can control is me working hard every week throughout practice and having it roll over to the game.”

This is the reaction John Harbaugh wanted from Breshad Perriman.

“He knew the situation, he practiced really hard and really well this week. Breshad Perriman has a lot of character and a lot of talent. It’s like any sport, sometimes you get reset a little bit and get rolling,” Harbaugh said, via the team’s website. “He’s going to be OK. He’s confident, he’s tough and he wants to do well. He’s probably a little ticked off. I hope he is. I want him to be ticked off. I want him to come out there and show it in the way he practices. He’ll do it.”

Whatever emotions Baltimore wants Perriman to be trotting about practices with isn't really a big deal. His effort level isn't what is in question here. Instead, it is about whether or not he has enough talent to create separation from defensive backs.

It will be interesting to see if the young receiver can work himself back into the regular rotation.
