Playing weatherman

Coach Brian Billick added another job title today -- he's also the Ravens' chief meteorologist.  When reports filtered back to the Ravens' camp early this afternoon of possible thunderstorms in the Westminster area, Billick considered moving the first day's second practice to the team's regular season facility in Owings Mills.

After going to a Doppler weather site on the computer in his room,  Billick decided to keep the practice at McDaniel College and then cross his fingers, hoping that practice would come off without a hitch -- or any dangerous weather. Moving the practice back to Owings Mills is an option that the Ravens have rarely had to exercise since the indoor practice field opened during the 2004 season.

Bob Eller, the team's senior director of operations, said that a possible move for this afternoon had been discussed during the morning, "but the front moved off to the east and the weather cleared.'' And you think the Ravens are only worried about who's going to fill the right side of the offensive line?
