The King Says: Ravens are #8

So, today Peter King released his pre-pre-pre season power rankings.  He ranked the Ravens #8, which I believe is a fair ranking. Personally, he’s not my favorite NFL writer, but he works hard and that shows in his stuff.  Check the full power rankings out here, I’m just going to provide the Ravens’ blurb. 8. Baltimore Quick. Who is Greg Mattison? You’re a big fan, and you didn’t even recognize the name of the new Baltimore defensive coordinator. The big challenge for Mattison will be to get this group to respond to him the way it responded to Rex Ryan. But Ray Lewis and his men like smart guys, which everyone tells me Mattison and his defensive aides are. The one looming problem they have entering camp, now that Bart Scott has flown the coop, is making sure there’s no job action by Terrell Suggs, who has been franchised and is skipping mini-camp activities for now. Suggs has to be on board, and I suspect he will be, when the Chiefs come in for an opening friendly on Week 1 of the season. The full rankings are:  New England The city which is not to be named New York Football Giants Chicago Bears?!?!?!?!?!?!? Indy Philly San Diego Baltimore Dallas Tennessee Atlanta Arizona Houston Green Bay Minnesota New York Jets Miami Carolina Seattle Denver Jacksonville Buffalo Washington: HA! New Orleans San Fran Tampa Bay Oakland The Cincinnati Ben-Gals Kansas City St. Louis Detroit (How surprising) And a perfect prediction, one sure to be right…The Cleveland Brownies There you have it.  These will almost definitely change in the next couple of months.
