Cam Cameron Gets Ravens Offense Up to Speed

Interesting development out of this week’s voluntary mini-camp, as Cam Cameron disclosed that the Baltimore Ravens’ offense is learning the new system at game speed. Route running, play clock management, and other important aspects of learning the new playbook are being conducting through simulations of real game time.
“You have to create one pace,” Cameron said. [...]

Discovering the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts

Having been in Baltimore my entire adulthood, I’ve always seen Ravens Roost flags and banners in my jaunts around town, but I never realized that the bars were part of an organized network dedicated to promoting professional football in Charm City. That is, until I found up about their annual convention going on in Ocean [...]

Freddie Mitchell? The Ravens Can’t Possibly Be Serious

This has to be some kind of cruel, delayed joke. The Baltimore Ravens can’t possibly be that desperate for help at wide receiver.
Freddie Mitchell?
Are you kidding?
This dude was a freakin’ substitute teacher at one point. No one has had more mouth with less talent in the history of the NFL. Freddie Mitchell? FredEx?

Will Troy Smith be the Opening Day Starter for the Ravens?

If you ask other Baltimore Ravens’ players, the answer could be yes. So far in camp, Troy Smith has outplayed resident quarterback evil Kyle Boller in drills thus far, and has captured the attention of media, veterans and coaches.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh has said no one is going to win a position battle during these [...]

Jamal Lewis Talks Trash About Baltimore Ravens

Jamal Lewis was the cornerstone of the Baltimore Ravens offense for a long time, but we all know stones have a strange habit of rolling under the right amount of pressure.

There’s so much to like about this cheerleading squad, not just because of their beauty, but because one of them has joined the ranks of the basement dwellers.
Leslie A., has been blogging [...]

The Ravens Wanted Better for David Archuleta

To no one’s surprise, David Cook won American Idol last night. To my surprise, some Baltimore Ravens players disagreed with the outcome.
“I think that David Cook will be more successful, period,” said long-snapper Matt Katula with a laugh. “But, judging by Tuesday’s show, there was no question that David Archuleta was going to win. It [...]

More Moves in the Defensive Backfield For Ravens

From the Carroll County Times, the Ravens have cut reserve defensive back Jamaine Winborn and signed veteran corner Lenny Walls.
Winborn was the leading tackler on special teams last season with 21, while Walls has been a journeyman for most of his NFL career, bouncing around with the likes of the St. Louis Rams, Oakland Raiders, [...]

What the CBA Collapse Means for the Baltimore Ravens

In case you haven’t heard, the NFL owners unanimously agreed that the players get too much money, and opted out of their collective bargaining agreement. The short of it is that in 2011, the NFL will possibly face a season with no salary cap, if there’s a season at all.
So it begs the question, what [...]
