Baltimore Ravens: Can Flacco live up to the hype?

Found July 01, 2013 on isportsweb.com:
PLAYERS: Joe Flacco
TEAMS: Baltimore Ravens
Following an outstanding playoff run resulting in a Super Bowl victory, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was rewarded with a six-year, $120.6 million contract. Unfortunately for Flacco, accepting a large sum of money like that will be putting him under a microscope (more so than an NFL quarterback already is subject to).  The Super Bowl XLVII MVP has spent a good part of his NFL career being scrutinized about his “elite” status as a quarterback. But while that debate is still going on, there are a few things to look for from Flacco this upcoming season that could help the discussion. Joe Flacco (Photo credit: Joe Sargent/Getty Images) 1. Consistency In the 2012 postseason, Flacco played four of the best games of his career, one after another.  It started with his performance in the Ravens 24-9 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC Wild Card round of the 2012-2013 season playoffs.

CHECK OUT FOOTBALL AND FUTBOL’S BOOKSTORE   With the recent arrest of Aaron Hernandez and many surgeries to New England’s Gronk Machine, Baltimore fans should be thankful and appreciative of the pair of Tight Ends we have on the roster.  In 2010, fans and analysts questioned the decision to draft Dickson and Pitta in the 3rd and 4th rounds respectively.  After all, the team...

Previewing the Baltimore Ravens: Wide Receivers – Who Will Step Up?

Via Football and Futbol  |  June 30, 2013
CHECK OUT FOOTBALL AND FUTBOL’S BOOKSTORE   The Baltimore Ravens currently have 13 receivers on their roster, however only six receivers caught at least one pass in 2012.  If I were a betting man (which I’m not) I would bet that six receivers won’t even make the team this year.  Normally having a young core of players is a good thing because normally those “players”...

Previewing the Baltimore Ravens: Running Backs – Running For Miles And Years To Come

Via Football and Futbol  |  June 30, 2013
In their 17 years as an NFL franchise, the Ravens have established themselves as team that is not only consistently good at running the ball but also a franchise that lives at the top of league in rushing.  For 17 years, Baltimore has had at least a 1,000 yard rusher in nearly every season.  The 2013 Ravens look to continue that trend with Ray Rice entering his fifth season as...

NFL's strongest arm belongs to ...

Via Fox Sports  |  June 30, 2013
Pitchers have speed guns. Runners have stopwatches. But how do you measure who has the strongest arm in the NFL? How about two pieces of anatomy? Specifically, fingers and Jaws. For Ravens tight end Ed Dickson, there's no doubt who has the strongest arm in football -- and he has to be ready for it on every throw. "You've always got to make sure you have your hands...
