Going into the Baltimore Ravens ' 14th season, I did some research on the best rookie seasons since their inception in the 1996 season. For statistical purposes, I based the definition of the rookie season on the first year in the NFL for the player. Obviously, there have been many players whose first year with the Ravens was not their first year in the league, so those players are not part of my statistical...

The Baltimore Sun reports the biggest problem for Ravens TE Todd Heap , who is trying to come back from a back injury, is trying to regain explosion. The report states the Ravens' offense is built on timing patterns. They don't do a lot of head-faking and juking when they run routes because they want to get to a certain spot as soon as possible. Without explosion, Heap has been slow getting off the...

After taking part in the most practice work he’s seen all offseason, Todd Heap believes he will be able to fully participate by the start of training camp. Heap has been limited in each of the Ravens’ minicamps thus far, rarely able to take the field because of a back injury that dates back to last year. But as he hauled in a Joe Flacco pass in the flat and quickly accelerated upfield,...

After spending the day at the Baltimore Ravens Practice Facility, located at aptly named One Winning Drive, I thought I'd post a bunch of photos I took while observing the two hour practice. While it was labeled as Passing Camp, there still was enough of running plays and special teams drills to round out the day. While it was my first live visit to "The Castle" it was impressive to see all...

With the Ravens dealing with several injuries at wide receiver ( Derrick Mason with a shoulder, Mark Clayton with a heel) and tight end ( Todd Heap with his back, L.J. Smith with his groin), the team used backup QB Troy Smith at WR during a recent OTA workout.

The Carroll County Times reports the Ravens are using former DL Edgar Jones at TE with injuries to Todd Heap , L.J. Smith and Quinn Sypniewski . But Jones is also still rushing the passer at times as well. "The first rep felt a little bit different," Jones said. "By the second or third rep, it felt like second nature."

The Baltimore Sun reports the Ravens have not decided who is starting at TE this season just yet. Is it Todd Heap or L.J. Smith ? Maybe it's Edgar Jones . No one knows for sure, and the answer might not come until after training camp when coach John Harbaugh takes a body count at the position. As of right now, Heap appears to be No. 1, followed by Smith. But if the Ravens had a game today, those two...
