Peter DiLutis and have been discussing the need for the Ravens’ rookie receivers (Torrey Smith and Tandon Doss) to step up and play significant roles this season over the last two days on “The Morning Reaction.”

We unfortunately were reminded that many of the Ravens’ receiver prospects over the years haven’t exactly panned out.

It was with that in mind that we decided to make this week’s “Tuesday Top 7″ topic “The Top 7 Most Disappointing Players in Ravens History.”

Peter DiLutis’ list…

6. Dan Cody

In honor of the “Purple Massacre” moves the Baltimore Ravens made Monday (and the chance the Charm City careers of Derrick Mason and Todd Heap may be over), today’s Morning Reaction “Tuesday Top 7″ topic was “The Next 7 Greatest Players in Ravens History.”

We say the “Next 7″ instead of the “Top 7″ because we’re in agreement that the Top 3 players in franchise history are Ray Lewis, Jonathan Ogden and Ed Reed.

This is a battle for spots 4-10.

Understood?

Glenn Clark’s list…

10. Haloti Ngata

9. Derrick Mason

8. Terrell Suggs

7. Todd Heap

6. Peter Boulware

5. Chris McAlister

4. Jamal Lewis

This week’s Tuesday Top 7 was dedicated to the great Chris Berman from ESPN. As I was following on Twitter Monday night while watching the Home Run Derby, I was reminded that I wasn’t the only person watching that was simply tired of the Chris Berman “shtick.”

With that in mind, our Tuesday Top 7 topic was “The Top 7 Things In Sports We Can Simply Do Without.” Self-explanatory, yes?

Glenn Clark’s list…

7. Colin Cowherd

6. Having 50 different “cups” in soccer

5. NBA players getting out of the way so they don’t get dunked on

While American hero Joey “Jaws” Chestnut was busy devouring 62 hot dogs Monday on Coney Island to claim a fifth straight Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest title, former rival Takeru Kobayashi was APPARENTLY devouring 69 hot dogs of his own on a Manhattan rooftop to “break” Chestnut’s record. (Trust me, Kobayashi’s “record” doesn’t count-and we’re not sure that it’s totally real.)

With that in mind, today’s “Tuesday Top 7″ topic was “The Top 7 Records That Will Be Broken In The Next 10 Years.”
