Just months after winning the
franchises second Lombardi trophy in a little over a decade, it seemed as
though the Baltimore Ravens team had totally fallen apart. The retirement of
their most notorious player in franchise history meant big shoes to fill for
one player on their roster. No one figured that there would be numerous big
names still to leave. After Lewis’ departcher, a handful of big names also left
Baltimore. Star wideout, Anquan Boldin left for San Francisco, middle
linebacker Darnelle Ellerby went to Miami, and longtime raven Ed Reed left for
Houston. Ravens fans were not very optimistic about Raven’s decision to pay Joe
Flacco the large contract. Despite this quarterback is the most important
position on the field and in the NFL today if you don’t have an ace under
center your team will not make it very far.
Ozzie
Newsome the Long time general manager of the Ravens came under fire for some of
his offseason moves but just like always he began to make his moves. First he
revamped the defensive line that was in dire need of a better pass rush, he
brought in Demarcus Spears from Dallas and another veteran defensive lineman
from New York. In addition he grabbed the number one pass rusher in free agency
with Elvis Dumerville. To fill Reed’s void they brought in Raider’s safety Michael
Huff he is a great younger talent that will add depth. I cannot wait to see
what Newsome will do with the draft either he has a long history of bringing in
star talents in even the later rounds. So if you’re a Ravens fan, I would not
worry. Look for the Ravens to make another playoff push.
