Can Pre-Season Injuries Pay Dividends For the Ravens This Season?

You gotta be here to believe it, but the Ravens are dropping like flies in the Harbaugh era of training camp. It begs the question of whether pro football training camps need to be so lengthy, in tandem with a four game pre-season schedule.
But for the Ravens, the injuries may pay off big in the [...]

No Haloti Ngata?

The word out of camp is that a sprained MCL is what sidelined Haloti Ngata, and that Kelly Gregg is favoring what appears to be a knee injury.
So what does it mean when you two defensive tackles have bum wheels ?

Who Will Be the Ravens’ Go-To Receiver in 2008?

There’s much talk in the city regarding the Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback situation, and rightfully so. A town that’s never boasted a reliable starting quarterback deserves to clamor about regarding the new age movement at the position.

No Training Camp for Terrell Suggs

Michael Strahan did it to perfection last year, and the hope is that Terrell Suggs’ contract situation and resulting absence from training camp will reap the same results.
The bottom line: why go to camp if its not necessary? Why suffer through hot days when you’ve already proven yourself as an elite player, have the respect [...]

Flacco Officially a Baltimore Raven

Five years and $30 million. That’s how long and how much it will take for Joe Flacco to become the face of the Baltimore Ravens franchise.
There’s been no secret that Flacco will play understudy for as long as possible. With Brett Favre rumors to the side, that means he has, at the most, this season [...]

Ravens Miss Deadline on Signing Terrell Suggs

Okay, no need to panic about the Baltimore Ravens missing the Tuesday deadline to ink franchise tagged Terrell Suggs to a deal. No need to worry, right?
Or is there?
