Join me at 5:15 when I join Keith Mills for the Ravens pregame show on WBAL (1090 AM) and WBAL.com. We'll be breaking down the roster heading toward the final cut and warming you up for tonight's final preseason game against the Rams in St. Louis.

The fourth preseason game doesn't usually feature a tremendous amount of intrigue, but there are some interesting subplots. The fight for the extra receiver spots will be front and center, and No. 3 quarterback Troy Smith is expected to play most or all of the game.

Maybe most important of the final roster battles is between placekickers Billy Cundiff and Shayne Graham, who are making it very difficult for the coaching staff to separate them. Cundiff is the incumbent, but the fact that the Ravens brought the experienced Graham in to challenge him for the job may be an indication that the team will lean toward him if the competition remains close after tonight.

The Ravens' approach tonight was to not play anyone of importance, not get anyone hurt.

As a fan, you watch the game and still want to win. You think that you're playing a weak team on their home turf with your second and third stringers but you still may be good enough to win the game.

Guess what? You're not.

But, you go out there and beat the Jets in the opener and that's all that counts.

Can't wait.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
