For Ravens fans the free agency scares them. They don't know who will stay or who will go. This free agency has seen the exit of Michael Oher, Jameel McClain and Vonta Leach for a second season to clear cap room for other signings. The Ravens as many know always have a trick or two up their sleeve and with the exit of those three players replaced them with resigning Eugene Monroe, Dennis Pita got a greaaat contract and brought in Carolina Panthers long time wide out Mr. Steve Smith. The ravens were looking for a guy that could replace the lost of Boldin especially with not doing very good on third down last year. I believe they have found the guy that will get those tough three to five yards in Steve Smith. I know in football years he's old but look at the Panthers season last year and he had a very successful season for a so called old man. I think the offense will regroup after last season especially with a healthy Pita and a healthy Rice and Scott who didn't have a strong season as a back field unit after the Ravens super bowl run.
Defenseeeeeeee!!! The Ravens are known to have a great to good defense each season and they didn't pretty good this past season. The Ravens did lose a good LB in Jameel McClain to the Giants but will keep the majority of the defense in tack. The Ravens are trying to keep Ihedigbo who finished second on the team in tackles with 101. I did see that the Ravens were fishing in the Steelers back yard a little and looking at veteran free safety Ryan Clark but nothing has been etched in stone yet. That would be a very very wild season to have a guy like Clark on the squad that has roamed the defensive backfield for the Steelers for 10 season only to play against them this season if the deal goes through. I will sit back and wait for more tricks to come out of the bag of the Ravens and Mr. Newsome.
