Tony Bergstrom slipped on a pair of nice, leather cowboy boots before he stood up to talk with a small crowd of Ravens reporters following Sunday’s game.
After Marshal Yanda’s season-ending ankle fracture, Bergstrom is suddenly the Ravens’ new starting right guard and a key player to watch in Baltimore’s continued rededication to the run game.
“These 14 boots don’t even compare to the shoes you have to fill with him,” Bergstrom said.
“It’s brutal. Obviously, you can’t replace a guy like that. The toughness he has and the kind of character he brings to the team, it’s rough.
