IDK, but I think that Ed Reed plays faster than he is. It's like he has a 6th sense(telekinesis if you will.), the way he moves and anticipates. I don't see him being able to do the same thing on the offensive side of the ball.

I'm not worried about it right now. I'll wait to see what we do. Even if we do not bring in anyone else I'm still not worried about it AS long as our TE's stay healthy. I've seen Cam Cameron do some great things with a TE that can play in space and right now we have some guys that as long as they stay healthy, they can do some things for us. I'm more worried about Oher not being there. He needs all the snaps he can get.

Gotta agree with you there... I thought he was all set. The NFL really needs to change how they do rookie salaries.

Yeah. I like what I'm hearing about Kruger right now. I hope they have some special packages for him. The battle at ILB is gonna be good. Gooden has the inside track right now, but we'll see. Kelly Gregg is back and looking good from the report this morning and DWill right now is bigger, healthy and crisp in his routes. HE dropped a couple, but that is probably just rust. Clayton caught everything this morning except for 1 pass.

Without knocking the huge shoes Mason leaves to fill, the problem with the Ravens is the same as every other year... injuries. If Heap, LJ Smith, DWil, Clayton, Flacco, Reed, Lewis, Pryce, Suggs, Gregg, Ngata, McGahee, Rice, McClain, Birk, at least 3 corners stay healthy there's no reason to think they won't be as good as last year.

I list all those names on purpose bc alot of those guys are injury risks and any combination of 3 or 4 of them getting hurt could mean HUGE problems. But that was about the same as 2 years ago, just some different names.

Are you watching coverage somewhere? Was going to ask if you were heading out to Owings Mills but remembered that'd be a hell of a trip for you (if you are, let me know... we'll go grab some crabs!).

I really don't see a problem with the WR tree except a lack of a go to guy, I truly think Flacco will survive though. Its not like the receivers are all garbage though. All we need is just one wr to step up

I'll go to Owings Mills just for the suds and crabs, damn a training camp summer is winding down slowly...
