For the Ravens' playbook
So the Ravens open training camp today at McDaniel College, and not a day too soon.
The Orioles' recent winning run has restored, momentarily, some pride in the club. And if the O's could make life miserable for both Boston and New York over the next two months, that would certainly serve some kind of notice -- and provide a measure of satisfaction. But in all candor, the remainder of the baseball season is more about setting the tempo and positioning the team for 2008.
All of which brings us back to the Ravens who, as Sun beat report Jamison Hensley points out, show up for summer workouts in a relatively blissful state of harmony. Now, as impressive last season's 13-3 regular-season record was, Ravens fans would obviously like to see a little more offense out of this year's edition. After all, despite holding the Indianapolis Colts to zero touchdowns in last January's playoff game, it still added up to a bitter 15-6 loss. So to help head coach Brian Billick with his playbook, we pass along this gem from some offensive genius in the peewee football ranks. Thanks to the Fark blog for pointing it out.
