Iggy’s Baltimore Sports Report – March 23, 2014

Ravens:
After the initial flurry of activities, the Ravens have been moving more slowly. Ravens acquire center Jeremy Zuttah from Tampa Bay Buccaneers for middle round 2015 draft pick… Sadly, squealers won’t lose a draft pick for Tomlin’s near tackle on Jacoby Jones. Originally, I thought that a draft pick was too severe, but now I think they should just flip flop out draft picks for this year… 21 rules changes are to be proposed to the owners this week. Most significantly is an increase to the height of the goal posts to eliminate kicks going indeterminately over top… Ravens signed Free Agent Darian Stewart (Rams) as James Ihedigbo is expected to sign elsewhere… Rams, Raiders and Chargers are all prime candidates to relocate back to Los Angeles, although the Chargers are starting to look less likely.

Ravens:
Ray Rice losing weight, to get be in better shape for next season, so he doesn’t take a, ahem, beating… ILB Daryl Smith signed to 4-year deal… Panthers WR Steve Smith signed to a 3-year deal… Michael Oher signs with the Titans.

Ravens:
Ravens and OL Monroe are far apart in contract negotiations with Monroe asking $10M/year, expect him gone… Jah Reid arrested, charged with misdemeanor battery in Key West… Arthur Jones receiving heavy interest by other teams… Ravens made offer to Jacoby Jones, but no discussions being held…

Ravens:
Nothing new of “dumb dumb” Rice… Pitta signed to multi-year deal, but now the issue is Monroe, for whom we traded away draft picks, and could end up in a short term expensive rental… NFL considering moving extra point further back, in addition to eliminating the play altogether.

Ravens:
Ray Rice is dumber than we thought. I expect a fine from NJ, a fine from the NFL, and a 2 game suspension… Deonte Thompson is trying to keep up with the Rice’s. He was busted on suspicion of MJ. Apparently, he owned the “bag” but not the “contents.” As an under-performer, expect him gone next season anyway.

Ravens:
Ray Rice and his fiancee are both arrested over a domestic dispute in Atlantic City… T-Sizzle signed to a 4 year salary cap friendly extension, freeing up $5M.

Ravens:
steelers have hired thug joey porter as a defensive assistant. So, if it wasn’t bad enough that their head coach is tripping our players, now we have to deal with them attacking injured players.

Ravens:
Well, my main goal was to NOT see john elway during the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, they realized they had to show his ugly mug early in the 2nd half, otherwise they wouldn’t have a chance. Personally, I would have like to see him crying with 2 minutes left in the game. Oh well. I guess I can’t have my cake and eat it too… Preliminary odds for the Ravens winning the next Super Bowl are pretty bad at 40-1, along with the Texans and Redskins. However, without free agency, and the draft, many team will make a lot of changes in
the near future… Remember the Doritos Time Machine Commercial? Former Ellicott City native Raj Suri submitted the commercial, and won the $1M contest prize.

Ravens:
The Ravens hired Gary Kubiak and most of his previous staff members to fix the Ravens Offense. Kubs is well respected for his offensive prowess, but could have his work cut out for himself with a undersized front line that is confused over their blocking scheme, wide receivers that can’t get open, and an average quarterback making elite dollars.

Ravens:
With Caldwell gone, the Ravens look to fill OC job, and a few suddenly vacant other coaching holes.
