ravens i think will lose a step. losing heap is a huge blow to them imo, and leron mcclain was one of the best FB's in the league. you don't replace those shoes easily

McClain was a bum and Leach is a HUGE upgrade. All McClain did was lobby to be a RB and milk his probowls from when he carried the ball in 2008.

Ravens signed Vonta Leach....not Vontae Davis

And with Lee Evans walking around on a boot, I think it's safe to say we're in pretty good shape for week 1.

lol.

lee evans was only TRADED FOR because he is a huge upgrade to the ravens disappointing wr corps assembled last season and they had no idea he would be available to them at such a bargain price.

remember, wr's drafted in the 2nd -5th rounds are expected to struggle (regardless if they are a track meet speedster like heyward bey) especially w/o the benefit of ots's, minicamps, and a normal training camp.

absolutely nobody with their head screwed on straight (which automatically eliminates delusional ratbird fans) expected their copycat pick of torrey smith to match the current production of mike wallace (or even antonio brown/e. sanders)

of course their line is going through changes, which is why i didnt mention their acquisition of the embarrasseed viking reject LT as an "upgrade". i dont even know why mcckinney entered the convo. :noidea"

same difference. you know i meant the texans FB. not to get into semantics or splitting hairs, but if their name isnt "john kuhn" nobody even knows the FB's.

Loved Legursky as a fullback when we used him a couple of times last season (or was it the year before?) Regardless, it worked on two separate occasions inside the 5. I guess Arians, being the genius he is, wanted to trick teams into thinking we were going to use it again. So he never did.

Who's John Kuhn?
