Joe Flacco Has Support From Owner

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said, "we have bigger fish to fry" than finding a replacement for quarterback Joe Flacco, who struggled in 2017. That may mean that Baltimore will pass on drafting a quarterback this year with their first-round pick. Flacco has never been attractive as a fantasy quarterback, but he was abysmal in […]

Ravens Considered Head Coaching Change

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti said a head coaching change was considered after the team missed the playoffs in 2017. Head coach John Harbaugh has led the Ravens to a Super Bowl, but the team has now missed the postseason in four of the last five seasons, so he may be out of the picture […]

Biggest Risers and Fallers of 2017 - Wide Receivers

So far we've looked at the biggest risers and fallers at both the quarterback and running back positions. This time we're looking at wide receivers who improved their stock or saw it plummet. Wide receiver scoring was down as a whole this season, which meant more fallers than usual. At the same time, some veteran […]

Biggest Breakouts at Running Back - 2017 Year in Review

Breakout players are how you win your league. They are the players that finish the season ranked significantly higher than where you drafted them. Since we also have the Biggest Surprises series, I will do my best to distinguish a breakout from a surprise. In doing so, I am making a blanket rule at the […]

Don Martindale Promoted To Defensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens promoted linebackers coach Don "Wink" Martindale to defensive coordinator Tuesday. Martindale has been an assistant coach with the Ravens since 2012, and he was the Broncos defensive coordinator under then head coach Josh McDaniels in 2010. "His aggressive mentality will serve to take our defense to new levels," head coach John Harbaugh […]

Don Martindale Is A Leading Candidate For Ravens Defensive Coordinator Job

The Baltimore Ravens have a few leading candidates for their open defensive coordinator job. One of them is their current linebackers coach, Don "Wink" Martindale. The Ravens have a definite idea of one of their top priorities out of whomever they hire as their new defensive coordinator. They are quite happy with their current defensive […]

Ravens Seek Stability In Defensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens have a definite idea of one of their top priorities out of whomever they hire as their new defensive coordinator. They are quite happy with their current defensive philosophy and style, so they want their new hire to continue along the same lines. They did lead the NFL with 34 turnovers and […]

2017 Final Consistency Report - Tight Ends

I am a mixed bag of emotions because of the end of the 2017 season. I am excited for the NFL playoffs and a chance for the my hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to win their third Super Bowl in my lifetime. I am sad because the regular season is at an end and with […]

Jimmy Smith May Not Be Ready For Opening Day 2018

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith (Achilles) may not be ready for the early part of the 2018 season. He tore his Achilles in early December, and it is typically a six- to eight-week recovery. Head coach John Harbaugh did say that he was hopeful. Baltimore has a decent chance to remain a top defense as long […]

Marty Mornhingweg Staying In Baltimore

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will return for the 2018 season. The Ravens passing offense was horrendous under Mornhinweg and quarterback Joe Flacco in 2017, but the running game thrived behind Alex Collins, and the Ravens surprisingly were ranked ninth in the league in total points. Mornhinweg's offensive scheme […]

Ravens Pursuing Chuck Pagano For Defensive Coordinator

The Baltimore Ravens have spoken to former Colts head coach Chuck Pagano about filling their vacancy at defensive coordinator. Pagano coached Baltimore's D before becoming the head coach in Indy, and the Ravens had one of the better defenses in 2017. It remains to be seen what the Ravens do in the offseason, but the odds are […]

Terrell Suggs Wants To Play A Few More Seasons

Baltimore Ravens defensive star Terrell Suggs has played 15 seasons and hopes to play a few more. Despite the wear and tear of 15 seasons, he still led the team with 11 sacks. Until he shows some real decline, it is reasonable to guess that Suggs can continue playing at a high level. The outlook […]
