But Ravens defensive lineman Arthur Jones isn’t worried about that. Asked about the Ravens’ acquisition of Elvis Dumervil, Jones echoed Vince Young’s infamous comment about the Eagles two years ago. “That’s awesome. It’s like a dream team in the making. I can’t wait until we all get together,” Jones told Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun. Jones also said he has no fears about how the holdovers will fit into a Ravens front that has also recently added Chris Canty and Marcus Spears, saying that any time General Manager Ozzie Newsome brings players in, he has a good plan for how those players will be used. “Don’t worry. Ozzie Newsome always has a plan. In Ozzie, we trust,” Jones said. Newsome has earned that trust, consistently putting together one of the best rosters in the league in his time running the Ravens. Even if “dream team” is probably not the word Newsome would use to describe his handiwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 There is going to be a lot of flexibility along the front five. Offensive lines will see a lot of different guys and a lot of different looks. Maybe the addition of Canty and Spears allows Ngata to go back to the nose tackle where he can be more dominant.

vmax Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I'm not feeding in to as slip of the tongue by Arthur Jones that the media would love to exploit.It would a great club for the haters, but adding one big name FA after losing Ray Lewis, Birk, Boldin and Reed hardly balances the books. The Dream Team was 2000 and 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colincac Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I don't think this is a dream team, but Jones has to love it. Ton's of studs around him, he wont be getting any attention from defenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
