Ravens out earlier

After moving rookie and free agent camp back a month to accommodate first-round draft choice Joe Flacco, the Ravens pushed the start of today's workout up by around an hour to a little past 10 this morning.

I was thinking -- and hoping -- it was because the coaches wanted to see Tiger Woods teeing off against Rocco Mediate in the U.S. Open playoff, but I think it was more to get the 25 players out on the practice field a little longer, a certain quarterback in particular.

Aside from Flacco's progress, the most intriguing aspect to these three days of workouts is the fluidity at the tight end position and along the offensive line.

Joe Reitz, a former basketball player at Western Michigan, is now being shuttled between both spots. After wearing No. 46 at minicamp, Reitz is now wearing No. 77, an offensive lineman's number. Xavier Lee, a former quarterback at Florida State, was brought back after his tryout at minicamp and is getting a lot of work at tight end.

O'Niel Cousins, a rookie tackle from Texas El-Paso who has received his share of attention for getting in a couple of blowups with teammates (including the brawl last month with Amon Gordon) came off the field midway through the morning workout looking a little woozy.

And for those who are interested, Tiger tees off around noon.

I'm rooting for Flacco and Rocco.
