Ravens Pickup Released Redskins RB Marcus Mason

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 [...]

Ravens Fall to Falcons 10-9 in Last Warmup

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 [...]

Taking a Look at the Breakdown of the Ravens Roster

The Ravens cut down to the 75-man limit is relatively painless since only five players are dismissed from the 80-man active roster.  It is the next roster cut by this Saturday that involves twenty-two players that is very painful.

Flacco Could be Last Man Standing in QB Battle

Ever since the Ravens said that they would have an open competition for the quarterback spot everyone had an opinion. I think even I flip-flopped at least twice. Kyle Boller has the most NFL experience, he may not be the future but he gives the team the best chance to win now.

Ravens Still Look for the Cure in 24-10 Loss to Rams

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.

Preseason Game #3 – Baltimore Ravens @ St. Louis Rams 8/23/08

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.

Breaking Down the Ravens Week 2 Preseason Outing

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 [...]
