Former Ravens coach Brian Billick will be forever linked to Kyle Boller.

Billick's role

 

When asked recently how current head coach John Harbaughdiffered from predecessors Ted Marchibroda and Brian Billick in their involvement in the draft, Newsome was kind to Billick.

 

"Brian got to the point where he really trusted us. He trusted the process, and we would bring him in when needed, and he enjoyed the aspect of personnel," said Newsome.

 

That's funny, because everyone at The Castle knew that when it came to the draft, Billick didn't study tape and had no clue. He wouldn't have known a draft pick from a draft dodger.

 

I just go back to what Preston said this week.
