Baltimore Ravens

By Mike Brown John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron will handle Flacco just fine thank you. This isn’t the Brian Billick Show any longer, if you hadn’t noticed. I’ve read comments from whomever it is that does the power rankings for USA Today, that “stalwart” of sports reporting, that quotes the following; ” Ray...

By Mike Brown A recent poll by the Baltimore Sun had most people choosing Kyle Boller to be the starter this season. He won out over Troy Smith by a factor of 35% to 32%. That sounds like the race between Hillary and Obama. I’m willing to bet that the consensus in the Ravens coaching ranks isn’t far off of that co...

By Mike Brown All in all it was a pretty good draft, especially when you factor in the addition of CB Fabian Washington for a 4th round pick to the Oakland Raiders. Not all of these players will see much playing time this season but should add some much needed depth should the injury bug hit like it did last se...

By Mike Brown I also know that many of you aren’t sold on Flacco, and can’t understand why the Ravens coveted him so much. I’ve already read stories that liken him to be the next Kyle Boller. Well here is why the Ravens were willing to gamble on a Division II quarterback;

By Mike Zoran Some have the Ravens trading up to get Matt Ryan, assuming he won’t be available at #8. I have made my opinion of this well known if anyone reads this page often. I think the risk of a first round QB is not worth the squeeze to you an old phrase. There are too many intangibles besides talent and skill...

By Mike Brown Of course it’s still specualation, but that means if the Ravens want to draft a quarterback who they feel will have a good chance to become that franchise quarterback they’ve sought all these years then they may have to use their second round pick to get it done. The Ravens don’t have a 3rd rou...

By Mike Brown The Ravens will face 7 teams this season that made the playoffs in 2007. Those being Washington, Tennessee, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, and the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants. That doesn’t sound like a second or third tier schedule to me. The AFC North Champion Pi...

By Mike Brown There has been much speculation in the Ravens search for a new head coach, and some of the names being bandied about are intriguing. But I don’t see many of them being the right person at the right time. There are several other candidates out there who are rumored to be in contention for the Rave...

By Mike Brown How well did Troy Smith play? Well that’s hard to say, seeing the same porous offensive line that has sidelined two quarterbacks already this season. This is a bad offensive team with Boller, Smith, or Manning. It’s not just the quarterback, it’s much deeper than that.

By Mike Zoran I too have cried for Billick’s head, and on occasion rightfully so. Running when he should pass, passing when he should run, the lack of discipline on the team, etc. I have cried for McNair to sit. I have cried about the turnovers. Add all of this crying together and you really start to see there is...
