Mine... Unitas, Berry, Gino and Lenny.

This will really look awkward for the NFL.

The race is on!

They need to have him play basketball blocking shots so he can bat down passes like crazy. This D line is going to be fun to watch.

I love that kind of talk cleetz. Keep piling it on.

What do you think Mike?

He's totally bought in. What a change.

He's Joe Cool.

This offense is going to be unpredictable...and explosive...

Solid reports on the D...........

Darryl Smith...this guy is something else...from the Ravens website... Looks like Huff and Smith on the back end will call the D's. Smith was a great find. Good to hear that Brown was on the field. The word is that Suggs is in terrific shape...

Here we go!

They did a good job keeping Ed Reed's injury secret too. Preston wrote an article about how many nasty tuff players the Ravens lost after Leach's departure and how this might impact them. Yanda is one mean nasty player. Others that I see still left on the roster are Osemelee, Oher, Suggs, Ngata,.. I think Jimmy Smith and Elam will join those ranks. Probably Brandon Williams, Upshaw and McPhee. Oh...and Arthur Jones...he can knock out anybody. The point is the Ravens have to replace players who helped name them "The Baltimore Bullies". We are stepping into a new era.

He actually thinks that we are stupid......very stupid.

Com'm Man....

You have to have had a shitty season and record to be in position to make deals like this. No thanks

Nice find colin.....very interesting....and the rest is history! Yea...we owe Belichek...he recommended Harbaugh too.

This should piss some fans off... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/pat-kirwan/22383888/run-or-pass-history-says-teams-with-running-qbs-are-average-at-best

How about the Falcons giving the Ravens their 2000 first round pick! They thought it would be high 20's or in the 30's. Ended up #5 and the Ravens got Jamal Lewis.

"They're just Losers Dee."

Renaldo McClain was the latest snub...and it worked out well for Baltimore in the end.

He could be suspended for a year for this...right?

He's only been out of the game for a little over a year and he's wrecked. I actually don't think that he was trying to be disrespectful....but it is disrespectful. He just doesn't get it.

The bats are alive today...5-0 O's.

Ravens fans know what an Elite Defense looks like. I think Ozzie did a great job shopping for talent on the D with his limited budget. Right now all I can say is the 2013 defense looks great "On Paper". It's an "On Paper" defense because of the huge amount of turnover in personnel who had played together for a long time executing the Ravens defensive schemes. For 2013 we have a fresh, new, fast, physical group of players, who need time and experience working together to bring their unit up to the 'Elite' level. I believe they will do it under Peas and his deep, experienced coaching staff. There is a core of players intact who know how to "Play like a Raven" and execute this defense. Suggs, Webb, McClain, Jones, Ngata, and McPhee. Corry Graham and Johnson are 2nd year savvy vets on this D with playoff and Super Bowl experience. Jimmy Smith too. He was big in the SB. Adding Canty, Spears and Dummervil with their veteran experience and talents is a huge upgrade. The defensive line looks to be very stingy against the run and there are a lot of pieces in place in the front 7 to bring a ton of heat on QB's. The line backing core of Suggs, Brown, McClain, Upshaw/Dummervil is the biggest question mark as far as how good will that unit be....but that's some serious talent there. The secondary in my eyes is perfect. Webb, Smith, Elam and Huff. That group does it all. They are hard hitters, great against the run and they can cover very, very well. A D can not be 'Elite' without the talent. I see the talent.
