The Ravens have picked up Redskins cast-off Marcus Mason to help out the RB core and placed him on their practice squad.  “The numbers were better with Baltimore, and we collectively thought that it made the most sense to go up the road,” Mason’s agent, Chad Wiestling said. “They only have two running backs on [...]

The Ravens are now actually one player under the 53-man roster.  Here are today’s cuts: TE Adam Bergen, QB Casey Bramlet, DL Darrell Campbell, WR Patrick Carter, G Adrian Clarke, DT Amon Gordon, WR Justin Harper, RB Alex Haynes, TE Keith Heinrich, G Adam Kraus, LB Robert McCune, RB Allen Patrick, CB Ronnie Prude, T [...]

There was a lot that could be said about last night?s final preseason game between Baltimore and Atlanta; non-descript, or boring come to mind. It certainly wasn?t an offensive eruption with several field goals and one score in the fading moments of the half providing all the scoring. But for Baltimore fans there were [...]

Yesterday was to be the big chance that Troy Smith was waiting for. He would have the whole game to show the coaches why he should start this season under center. Instead Smith couldn’t get out of bed and a shoulder injury to Kyle Boller allowed rookie Joe Flacco his chance to impress the judges.
Not [...]

With only 16 days until the start of the season for the Purple and Black things should start to get at least semi-serious. Some things to watch as you watch the game.
1. Crowded Corner – Since last year saw injuries take the starting corners out of the picture and thus allowed the defense to get [...]

On a night when the Ravens QB position was expected to get the most scrutiny it was their defensive players who seemed to lack focus and passion in their game against the Minnesota Vikings last Saturday.
Granted they were missing six defensive starters(DLs Kelly Gregg & Haloti Ngata as well as OLB Terrell Suggs)includimg three from [...]
