Welcome to the Daily Caw, where we round up all the latest Ravens news and notes from around the web. Today we have lots of niceties leading up to Saturday’s Ravens and Patriots matchup including Bill Belichick’s kind words for Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett, Tom Brady praises Terrell Suggs, and Steve Smith is happy he chose the Ravens over the Patriots.
Tom Brady Praises Terrell Suggs, Suggs is Suprised
Suggs is more of the trash talking type, so it’s no surprise he was a little taken back when Tom Brady called him “phenomenal.” Both have a rich history of exchanging verbal jabs with each other on and off the field, and Suggs still won’t refer to Brady by his name, simply calling him “the quarterback for the New England Patriots.”
