ROSTER

Posted by Major Offense on Monday, June 24, 2013, In : Major Offense

ROSTER: Training Camp is about a month away, so we still have some down-time. At this point we have to dig for little points of interest to make the time go by.

My focus in Training Camp has always been the back end of the roster; those Special Team guys, those young players who will be the "Inactives" during the season but who are one step away from filling a void due to an injury. The pre-season games give us a chance to see guys that we will not see too much during the season.

Right now, I...

LEADERSHIP

Posted by Major Offense on Thursday, June 13, 2013, In : Major Offense

LEADERSHIP: One of the big talking points this off-season is that the team has lost leadership that needs to be replaced. The talk centers around who will step up to fill the holes created by Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Matt Birk and Anquan Boldin leaving. The discussion presumes that the Baltimore Ravens need a centerpiece or two to pull the team, and there is a search for that person who can step up and make it happen.

I have my own opinion about all of these developments, and am comfortable that t...

SALARY CAP INFORMATION

Posted by Major Offense on Wednesday, June 5, 2013, In : Major Offense

SALARY CAP INFORMATION: Here is a present snapshot of the salary breakdown of the roster. Although the top 51 may change it is unlikely that it will impact the numbers significantly. The "Dead Money" though is a big deal. Lewis, Cundiff, Boldin and Birk are a hit, but at least they are only weights for a year. Suggs and Ngata are shockers as active players - 24.5 million for two players. This is a fascinating part of the whole NFL picture.

RAVENS FANS IN OCEAN CITY

Posted by Major Offense on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, In : Major Offense

RAVENS FANS IN OCEAN CITY: The end of a work week. I will be packing up to head to Ocean City for the collection of Ravens Fans at the Ravens Roost Convention, the gathering of the Nests and the Ravens Beach Bash. I plan to be participating in the Parade with Ravens Roost # 115 tomorrow (in the hot weather at the beach); so I leave at dawn.

Looking forward to having a good time with the Black and Purple Celebration of the Super Bowl winners.

TWO MONTHS TO TRAINING CAMP

Posted by Major Offense on Tuesday, June 4, 2013, In : Major Offense

TWO MONTHS TO TRAINING CAMP: As I pace waiting for the first hurdle to football for the 2013 Season:

1. Opening Night: So the NFL did not want to move the Opening Night due a bogus religious night excuse in a small market and decide to put it in a city with the QB that the National Media slobbers about? And they could not work out a deal with MLB or get the city to sign off on two professional games in the same day because of the logistical nightmare involved? So instead, there is word that t...
