As defensive coordinator Dean Pees made his opening comments during the Baltimore Ravens' introductory news conference with new cornerback Brandon Carr, a theme for the day was evident.
"One of the biggest things about this guy is -- you talk about dependability," Pees said. He then turned to Carr and asked, "You ever missed a game?" Carr confirmed that, since entering the league in 2008, he had not. "Never," Pees said. "I mean, that's rare. What, nine years?"
And with that, Carr and head coach John Harbaugh began furiously tapping the table they were seated behind to indicate they were "knocking on wood."
