Torrey Smith has History Working Against Him

July 18, 2012 | Jeffrey Gilley

It’s no secret that Torrey Smith is a very talented player.  Many fans (including myself) hope that his 841 yard rookie season is a sign of things to come.  Hopefully, Smith can become Flacco’s number one target for years to come.  Smith has the ability to do just that but he has history working against [...]

If the Ravens are going to make it further than they did last season, they will really need to work hard and stay healthy.

July 15, 2012 | Brett Dickinson

The second half is under way, and the O’s are above .500. It has been a long time since those words have even been muttered. In a way, that makes this season a success already. Everyone in Baltimore would love for the team to make their way into the playoffs, but that would be an [...]
