Welcome to the Daily Caw, where we round up all the latest Ravens news and notes from around the web for your convenient consumption. Today we go to the tape to study Lardarius Webb’s regression, laugh at the various Steve Smith sound bites from yesterday, and wonder if Joe Flacco can continue his domination over the NFC South.
