It seems like a simple request to a player.
Players want to play. If I can’t play where I am then trade me so I can get an opportunity elsewhere. But at times the business end of sports makes things harder to accomplish than they seem.
Just ask Troy Smith. He’d even crawl to Cleveland to get [...]
There are a lot of things to love about June; the end of school, taking time to relax on vacation and hitting your local swimming pool.
The downside is that there is very little to talk about in the way of football. Organized Team Activities will keep the team busy until late July hits and everyone [...]

With several wide receivers excused from voluntary minicamp, backup quarterback Troy Smith made a temporary position change to wide-out, running routes and making some impressive catches Tuesday.
The Ravens have tinkered with the idea of expanding the role of Smith, who remains the No. 2 quarterback on the team’s depth chart.
“Without making it [...]
The Ravens have released veteran QB Todd Bouman. He was signed early on when the team was reeling with a bunch of injured QB’s. Now that it appears that both Joe Flacco and Troy Smith are going to be just fine manning the position, Bouman is wasting away taking a roster spot that [...]
It was back to the basics Sunday in Miami for the Ravens, and the results were exactly what the Ravens ordered. 140 yards rushing, 31:43 in time of possession, and allowing just 71 yards on the ground to the Dolphins all equaled a no nonsense 27-13 win. The win broke the teams three game losing [...]
The season is over before it even got started for Ravens QB Kyle Boller, who today was placed on injured reserve with a shoulder injury. Coach John Harbaugh said today that injury appears to be either a torn labrum or other damage that would render Boller unable to play this year.
He was in line to [...]
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.
Troy Smith is [...]
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 [...]
Since it appears that no particular quarterback is standing out from the crowd, Troy Smith will get additional playing time during the Ravens’ third preseason game against the St. Louis Rams on Saturday, according to the Associated Press; team head coach John Harbaugh stated that Smith will get an extended look from the coaching staff [...]
