The Baltimore Ravens have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, and head coach John Harbaugh is hoping to put a stop to it.

Speaking with reporters Thursday, Harbaugh said he is "very concerned" about the Ravens' off-field issues and has addressed it with his players.

"I'm disappointed in some of the silliness that's gone on," Harbaugh said, via Luke Jones of WNST.net. "They're young, [but] you've got to grow up faster than your pals."

Harbaugh said one of the points raised during his discussion was how alcohol was a common denominator in each of the Ravens' off-field incidents.

Earlier Thursday, it was reported that wide receiver Jacoby Jones, running back Bernard Pierce, and cornerback Jimmy Smith were escorted from a club in Ocean City, Md. for public drunkenness. The incident occurred the same weekend as rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro's arrest for public drunkenness and destruction of property.
