Gadgets and gimmicks

It probably doesn't mean anything, but the only organized team activity this week where media were allowed to watch became a model of trickery. The Ravens tried a little of everything, including a statue of liberty play with Kyle Boller at quarterback, and the old Nebraska "fumbleruski" where the ball is placed on the ground and a running back picks it up and runs with it. The Ravens also practiced several fake field goals.

Interesting and entertaining, perhaps, but not exactly something the Ravens will pull out of their bag of tricks -- at least the fumbleruski.

"We got a little creative out there," coach John Harbaugh said. "A lot of that was look-team stuff against the defense. Cam [offensive coordinator Cam Cameron] has a very creative mind."
