The Baltimore Ravens need to have a great 2017 season. Ravens fans are used to winning and it’s time to stop swimming in the shallow end. The Ravens have to go make something happen:

Baltimore Ravens football has to change in 2017. When the season gets going, the Ravens have to reward their fan base. It’s time for some high quality football. It’s time for Joe Flacco to get back to being a franchise quarterback. That has nothing to do with talent. We know he has the ability to do special things.

In his first five seasons the Ravens went to the playoffs and he made key throws in big games. For Flacco, it’s all about confidence and finding his groove back. It’s time for the Ravens to get back to running the football. We know Terrence West and Kenneth Dixon can make things happen. The Ravens just have to commit to the run. It’s like a flower, it can’t grow unless you water it regularly.

Today we’re going to look at three things that the Ravens need to do that doesn’t have anything to do with talent. Here are three key elements that you can’t sign onto a roster, that you can’t trade for, but are incredibly important.
