Found July 23, 2008 on Ebony Bird:
Trevor Pryce, one of the stars of the Ravens' defensive line before injuries slowed him down in 2007, is in camp and looking better than ever. The defensive end looked trim and didn't seem to be carrying extra weight on his 6-foot-5, 286-pound frame. After practicing with mostly rookies in the morning at McDaniel College in Westminster, Pryce ran sprints on an empty football field, finishing the last one by backpedaling the entire way. The Ravens gotta have this guy this season. Not only is he among the team's veteran leadership, but any subdued performance on the part of Terrell Suggs missing camp is going to fall squarely on his shoulders. He recorded 13 sacks two years ago, but missed 11 games in 2007 with a fractured wrist and torn pectoral muscle. This might be one of a remaining few years of productivity for Pryce, and from the looks of things, he's going to maximize it.

Rough Outing For Troy Smith

The Baltimore Sun's Jamison Hensley reports from Ravens camp that Troy Smith took the first team's snaps today. And struggled. In six plays, he was 1-for-5 passing with three interceptions and a fumbled snap. One of the interceptions was made by secondary coach Chuck Pagano, who was filling in as a defensive back. Kyle Boller was 4-for-4 in the same drill but threw all short passes...

No Training Camp for Terrell Suggs

Michael Strahan did it to perfection last year, and the hope is that Terrell Suggs' contract situation and resulting absence from training camp will reap the same results. The bottom line: why go to camp if its not necessary? Why suffer through hot days when you've already proven yourself as an elite player, have the respect of teammates, and have the leverage of contractually...

Checking in with Charm City

An update on the Baltimore Ravens. Joe Flacco, Troy Smith and that other guy are all competing for the starting job. Let's not kid ourselves. That other guy has no shot. Here's what Flacco had to say regarding the competition: "We don't really have anything against each other. All we're trying to do is win a spot and do the best we can do. It's just the...

Kudos, Joe Linta

Last week, we saw Joe Linta negotiate a 5 year deal for his client and Ravens first round draft pick, Joe Flacco. This signing will also allow Flacco to compete for a wide open starting quarterback job. Getting Flacco signed and in camp on time was essential if Flacco is to have any shot at winning a starting quarterback job. Last summer we witnessed Brady Quinn sit out more than...

Flacco Deal Official

The Ravens and quarterback Joe Flacco agreed to a five-year deal on Monday.  The "Baltimore Sun" reports the pact could be worth 30-million-dollars, with nearly nine-million guaranteed.  The Ravens selected Flacco out of Delaware with the 18th overall pick in this year's draft.  He started all 15 games during his senior season, and threw for 4,263 yards with 23...

Asomugha signs in time for camp

Nnamdi Asomugha could've gotten out of a good chunck of the Oakland Raiders training camp, and no one would've been surprised.  Every year (i.e. Terrell Suggs this season) several franchised taged players wait until the last possible moment, sometimes even months after the deadline to sign a taged player to a contract extension has passed.  It says a lot that Asomugha...
