Welcome to the Daily Caw, where we round up all the latest Baltimore Ravens news from around the web.  Today we hear whispers that the Ravens are concerned about Michael Campanaro, even to the point where his job might be on the line.  On a much brighter note, Breshad Perriman and Nick Boyle have been better than advertised so far, and the team has a motivated young defensive line ready to take over.

Ravens have legitimate concerns about Michael CampanaroTony Lombardi, Russell Street Report

"Team officials have legitimate concerns about Michael Campanaro. During the 2014 offseason the Ravens considered signing Julian Edelman for $5M per but opted instead to develop their own version of the Patriots chain-moving receiver. Unfortunately things aren’t working out as planned.The club is worried that Camp’s injuries are chronic and given the presence of UDFA DeAndre Carter, the former Demon Deacon’s job may be in jeopardy."

"“I come here, and I had to play behind Haloti. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Yeah, it’s big shoes to fill and all that, but I’m feeling good. I’m feeling ready. I don’t feel stress or pressure. I feel like it’s a great opportunity for me to show everyone what I can do.”"

"“It tells me I just have to step up,” Williams said. “We have to do more. I accept the challenge willingly, to get out there and do everything I have to do to be my best player, be my best self. And that goes for everybody else on the defensive line. We don’t need anybody to be Haloti. We just need everybody to be their best selves, and we’ll be fine.”"

"Wilson broke his leg during a rookie minicamp and underwent surgery. He was one of the Ravens’ most heavily recruited undrafted rookies, signing with the team over offers from the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, Atlanta Falcons and Cleveland Browns. The deal with the Ravens includes a $9,000 signing bonus, according to a source."

"Canty praised the balance from 2014, establishing the run and (most importantly for Canty) keeping the defense off the field. And Canty hopes that balance continues with Gary Kubiak gone and Marc Trestman in as the offensive coordinator.“Please, Coach Trestman, don’t change a whole lot,” Canty said, laughing."
