Baltimore Beatdown In a recent article on the Baltimore Ravens website, Sarah Ellison analyzed the possibilities of the Ravens possibly pulling a trade for a veteran wide receiver. After trading Anquan Boldin in the offseason, the Baltimore Ravens find themselves sitting a position with Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, and Tandon Doss slated to be their starters in the 2013 NFL season. And while I would certainly not doubt the front-office in whatever direction they decide to go in, I personally feel as if the offense is lacking a certain veteran presence. Apparently so does Sarah. So could the Baltimore Rave...
Baltimore Ravens May 12, 2013CBSSports.com Fantasy Ravens assistant general manager Eric DeCosta told an audience at an event hosted by the Baltimore Sun that the team is "excited" about what Jacoby Jones could do for them as a No. 2 receiver opposite Torrey Smith.

DeCosta also spoke of other receivers on the roster stepping up and didn't rule out adding a veteran before the start of the regular season.

Baltimore Beatdown After the Baltimore Ravens failed to draft a receiver in the first few rounds of the draft to replace the departed Anquan Boldin, as usual, Ravens fans took to Twitter to express their frustration about the matter. Apparently current Ravens receiver Torrey Smith noticed and he wants Ravens Nation to know that the problem is under control. "We have talent," Smith responded on Twitter. "Just watch." The "talent" that Torrey is referring to comes in the bodies of Deonte Thompson, Tommy Streeter, David Reed, Tandon Doss, LaQuan Williams and rookie seventh round draft pick Aaron Mellette...

Baltimore Ravens May 1, 2013Baltimore Sun Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith has joked about cutting off his dreadlocks before but never followed through with it. Even getting pulled down to the ground by his hair two seasons ago by Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Adam Jones wasn't enough to convince Smith that he needed to get rid of them.

Baltimore Beatdown Its hard to downplay the role Anquan Boldin played for the Ravens during their 2012 Super Bowl run, but Boldin took his talents out west to San Fransisco this offseason. Boldin's departure leaves a pretty noticeable hole in a Ravens receiving corps that still boasts two receivers with all-world speed in Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith. What made Boldin unique was the toughness and physicality he brought to the position, he was fearless making catches in traffic and taking hits. It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that the Ravens will pick a receiver or two in Thursday's draft, and I...

Baltimore Beatdown Ever since Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco was drafted in 2008 he has had a safety valve receiver. Someone who he knew he could get the ball to when they needed a third and short or the game was on the line and he had to go to someone he knew could get open and would catch the ball. In Flacco's first few seasons it was wide receiver Derrick Mason who held that privilege. Mason was the master of the comeback route and he could always find a way to get open when need be. Then the Ravens brought in another highly productive possession receiver in Anquan Boldin. Boldin quickly beca...
Baltimore Ravens April 23, 2013Baltimore Sun Ray Rice was one of three Ravens who took a break from the team’s offseason workout program Tuesday to chat with reporters. He appeared to be wearing black pajama pants, so maybe a nap was next on his agenda.
Baltimore Ravens April 23, 2013Boston Herald He doesn’t fit the profile in terms of being that tall, physical cornerback who can man up and go toe-to-toe in press coverage with the AFC’s elite receivers such as Miami’s Mike Wallace, Baltimore’s Torrey Smith or Denver’s Demaryius Thomas.But the more you watch Jamar Taylor, the more he grows on you. The more you learn about the Boise State corner, the more you’re likely to want him on your team.
New England Patriots April 22, 2013Boston Herald In the 2010 draft, the Patriots and Ravens both craved University of Arizona prospect Rob Gronkowski. But the Pats got to him first, trading up in the second round, and leaping over Baltimore to land Gronk at No. 42.The following year, the Pats and Ravens both wanted Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith. This time, the Ravens got their man, taking Smith in the second round with the 58th pick. The Pats, who made two prior picks in the second round, ended up trading a third, the 60th pick, to Houston.
New England Patriots April 21, 2013CBSSports.com Fantasy In an interview with CBSSports.com, former Ravens teammate Anquan Boldin said receiver Torrey Smith is ready to step into the role as the No. 1 option in the passing game in his third year. "Definitely," Boldin said. "He hasn’t shied away from the moment. ... I think he’s ready to step into that role." Smith agrees with Boldin, who was traded to San Francisco this offseason. "I don’t view it any differently. My job is the same," Smith told CBSSports.com. "It’s not like I’m going to move in the slot where (Boldin) was doing most of the work. My responsibilities are still going to be the same on...

Baltimore Beatdown As of now the starting wide receivers for next season will likely be Torrey Smith, Tandon Doss, and Jacoby Jones (depending on whether he plays return man or receiver). We could also utilize Dennis Pitta at wideout if needed because he is a versatile tight end; I'm sure John Harbaugh will find a way to fit him into the rotation appropriately. David Reed would also be a viable option somewhere in there. The concern is the fact that Tandon Doss, David Reed, Deonte Thompson, and Tommy Streeter have combined for a total of 17 career receptions and 1 touchdown. Obviously this is due to thes...

Baltimore Beatdown Anquan Boldin’s exit from the Baltimore Ravens is one that still shows up on the talk shows. Torrey Smith certainly exceeded expectations in his first year and then progressed even more in year two. He will certainly be carrying the burden of being the number one receiver. With that being said, I still think the Ravens need to bolster their receiving core and replace “Q”. A couple of pass catchers from the Pac 12 could be interesting options for the Ravens at the end of the first round. Keenan Allen is a 6’ 2” – 206lb WR out of California. Allen has good size for the position. ...
