Three months later Smith realizes the team's younger receivers will now "lean on" him, but he doesn't believe the loss of Boldin affects his own game. "A lot of people are talking about me being a No. 1 this season," Smith told Sports Illustrated's Don Banks on Thursday, "but I don't see much difference because last year I got double-teamed, and had the best cornerback guarding me basically every game. So in terms of the attention from defenses, I don't view it as any different." What Smith will have to do differently is master the full route tree after concentrating primarily on downfield "go" routes during his first two seasons. Due to quarterback Joe Flacco's big arm and his tendency to take chances on downfield jump balls, Smith caught just 49 of the 110 passes in his Sat, 08 Jun 2013 11:33:47 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/torrey_smith_emerging_as_ravens_no_1_wr/13790495 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/torrey_smith_emerging_as_ravens_no_1_wr/13790495 Torrey Smith Emerging As Ravens' No. 1 WR http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/torrey_smith_emerging_as_ravens_no_1_wr/13790495 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/4/a/4a0466a4d7c023aa4cc35843f8757f3e28c629d0/mini/6930692.jpg It’s a great week of celebration for the Baltimore Ravens.

In just two seasons, he has already racked up nearly 1700 yards and scored 15 touchdowns. With those two years under his belt and a potentially increased role on the horizon, just how valuable will he be for the 2013 fantasy football season? Although Smith did see a 15 target increase in 2012, his catch-rate dropped and he was unable to fully take advantage of the increase. Heading into 2013, Anquan Boldin, who averaged 6.8 targets a game in 2012, is no longer with the Ravens. Dennis Pitta may receive biggest boost in targets resulting from Boldin’s departure – a situation that Denny Carter went into great detail about for The Fake Football. However, at the very least, Smith should also see a small boost. Just one more target per game would raise Smith’s target total to around 125 – I detailed his potential statistics with more ...

Well, according to a recent post by Pro Football Focus, Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith drew the highest number of flags in 2012 with 16 and fellow wide receiver Jacoby Jones drew an additional seven. If you are scoring at home, that's 23 combined flags drawn by just those two Ravens receivers. Now, we don't know exact breakdown of each penalty that both Smith and Jones drew last season, but we can guess that it included pass interference, defensive holding, illegal contact and unnecessary Read more [...] Wed, 15 May 2013 22:50:48 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/ravens_wr_torrey_smith_drew_more_penalties_in_2012_than_all_steelers_receivers_combined/13627235 http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_external/ravens_wr_torrey_smith_drew_more_penalties_in_2012_than_all_steelers_receivers_combined/13627235 Ravens WR Torrey Smith Drew More Penalties In 2012 Than All Steelers Receivers Combined http://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/ravens_wr_torrey_smith_drew_more_penalties_in_2012_than_all_steelers_receivers_combined/13627235 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/0/7/078eebcc6c579df5849c1a5a3f936cf061b2dbe7/mini/6846984.jpg Baltimore Ravens speedy wideout Torrey Smith has become known for his blazing speed on the field.

As reported by WJZ’s Christie Ileto, Smith’s fiancee, Chanel Williams, is a fourth grade teacher at Dogwood Elementary School in Baltimore County. The two teamed up to create a video to encourage Williams’ students to study for a state-wide standardized test. Set to the beat of “Teach Me How To Dougie,” the rap says, “all you need is a pencil in your hand and then you can do the best you can.” Williams says the rhyme encourages students to study for the Maryland School Assessment Tests, known as the MSAs. The annual test  gauges Maryland’s third through eighth graders on their reading and math abilities. Smith lends his dancing abilities to the video, and chimes in with support throughout the rap. Williams told Ileto that having Smith make an appearance gave her students an extra boost. “They love Torrey and my kids like rap and they’re motivated by music,” Williams said.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith became the latest target following his teams win over the Patriots in the AFC championship game. Smith’s younger brother Tevin died in a motorcycle accident early in the season. Some Patriot fans took this as ammunition to attack the Ravens wideout on twitter. Smith sent out the following tweet on Tuesday morning. Played a lot of games since my brothers death and I never received as many rude tweets after a win than Sunday…yet NE fans cry about class It is unfortunate that Smith was attacked over his brothers death and showcases one of the problems with social media. Smith and the Ravens will play against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII. Currently Las Vegas lists the Ravens as a 4 point underdog.

That has become quite evident since Baltimore’s 28-13 win in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, but wide receiver Torrey Smith may have the most legitimate reason for not respecting Patriots fans. As you know, Smith lost his younger brother Tevin in a tragic motorcycle accident earlier this season.

The accident occurred in West Moreland County in northeast Virginia. "This is devastatingly sad, sad news. Torrey and his family are a close, special family, and our hearts and thoughts reach out to all of them," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said in a statement. "Our hearts ache today. We pray for Tevin, his mother, Torrey and the rest of the family. God bless Tevin." Harbaugh said he did not know if Torrey Smith would play against New England on Sunday night. "Torrey's priority is his family. We understand that completely." Torrey is one of seven children of Monica Chante Jenkins. He wrote via Twitter on Sunday: "I can't believe my little brother is gone...be thankful for your loved ones and tell them you love them...this is the hardest thing ever."
