Is Ed Reed’s Career in Jeopardy?

A local columnist compared Ravens’ saftey Ed Reed to a would-be Baltimore Orioles-great, Glen Davis in a blog post this morning.

Among the surprises were linebacker and special teams standout Gary Stills and cornerback Ronnie Prude, who both made plays in the Ravens [...]

Calling Up Casey Bramlet

We join the action with 9:58 in the second quarter, and Casey Bramlet at quarterback?
Casey who?
Bramlet, a 2004 seventh-round draft pick of the Cincinatti Bengals has touchdown in Baltimore, after a potentially season-ending injury to Kyle Boller left quarterbacking duties to rookie Joe Flacco and Troy Smith, who will miss the game due to tonsilitis.

Could Injuries Make Joe Flacco the Starting Quarterback for the Ravens?

What began this summer as a hope and a prayer for Ravens fans, may turn into a harsh reality. With Troy Smith nursing some kind of wicked illness, and Kyle Boller nursing a sore shoulder, Joe Flacco will likely get the start this Thursday against the Atlanta Falcons.

What Are the Odds on Ray Lewis Being Arrested?

Apparently, pretty good according to a new BetUS.com listing of NFL players most likely to run afoul of the law. Ray Lewis is pretty low under names like Chris Henry, Pacman Jones and Tank Johnson.
This is pretty weird, because save for that one nasty incident, Lewis hasn’t been in trouble. Of any kind. Maybe people [...]

Ravens Cuts and Bruises

The Baltimore Ravens made their first round of cuts today, dismissing local product and R&B star Darnerien McCants and tight end Aaron Walker. McCants, who had been out of the league for two seasons prior to camp, caught one pass for 30 yards in the first game of the preseason. Both McCants and Walker were [...]

Maybe If We All Stopped Thinking About Who Should Be the Ravens’ Quarterback…

…maybe the whole problem would just go away. The Birds lost their second straight preseason game on Saturday night, and not coincidentally, it was the second straight game that family commitments have blocked me from conducting the locally-famous Ravens live chat.
But I apparently didn’t miss much. The St. Louis Rams looked effective against the Ravens [...]
