    Toussaint will be asked a lot of questions by the Steelers ("tell us the difference between last year and this year practices", "What about the playbook?" etc.), and then let go.

    I am the first to agree with you on Steelers skulduggery, but I think because of Bell's suspension they have a legit need for another RB.....once Bell is back or someone steps up, your right, they will cut him. Shame too, he seems like a pretty good RB. GO RAVENS!

    Most media guys are Pro Steeler and Patriot trolls, Starting when the Ravens came to Baltimore from Cleveland, bashing and hating on the Ravens was (and still is) a popular pastime for most network folk. If Flacco was on almost any other team he would have received the praise he deserves for his accomplishments. Hopefully this is the beginning to change as these "network Raven hater dinosaurs" retire. Flacco is a top 5 QB whether they acknowledge that or not. GO RAVENS!

    I don't know what is up with the Refs being all over the Ravens, something said in the off season?? I just hope it backs off before Sept 13th. And yes..... that tackle should have been flagged, and he should have been ejected, not Smith who hit nobody. Robinson tried to seriously injury Aiken with intent. I hope the league appropriately responds. If it had been a Raven player pull such a stunt it would have headlined all the networks all week, I haven't seen diddly about it. GO RAVENS!

    You would think the Redskins won the SB here in Northern Virginia the way they are walking around talking trash. I just laugh and say, preseason!....you were losing 13-0 with the 1st team in remember? But, I guess for them it feels good to actually beat a quality team no matter preseason or not, somehow a little sad for them :) GO RAVENS!

    HRF is correct.  Any non-bone related injury can be identified as a soft tissue injury.  Could be; tendinitis, calf strain, hammy, deep muscle bruise, etc...!

    AHA! Thanks guys for helping me out, So I see that it is a generic injury term so coaches don't need to be specific. OK, at least I don't feel like an idiot now wondering what exactly does that mean! :)

    If Steve Smith chose to retire a Panther it would not take away from any of the awesomeness of him being a Raven in my opinion. It is a shame he was on the wrong team for 13 years, there is no doubt he IS what being a Raven is all about. Raven nation embraces his bravado, loves the attitude! Panther....Nation(?) was often taken aback or embarrassed by it. I am glad I bought his jersey, and I will wear it for years to come! GO RAVENS!

    I just was talking to the athletic director/ coach of a local High School team here about the "roughing the passer" penalty. His perspective made me think. He said that the NFL has created a monster with their interpretation of the rule. It has turned into a "don't you hurt my gazillion dollar QB investment rule". Nothing to do with the original intent to protect a QB from being blindsided after he PASSES the football. He said the HS rule is clear cut, if a QB is moving with his hands and the ball below his shoulders he is a runner and not eligible for protection under the rule. In HS the ball must leave his hands in a pass to qualify. Otherwise it is either a sack or a legal football move. He noted that many read options and wildcat plays use the deception of the QB as a viable run option so how can you have a "roughing the passer" call if he is not clearly passing. He said the NFL should change the name then to "roughing my investment rule'. I like his take and I agree. GO RAVENS!

    The medical staff is just being cautious with Perriman's knee injury, why would they rush with the 1st round draft pick, still got 24 days to go before the season starts. Plenty of time still IF they even let him start. Not like we don't have enough receivers with talent. Sure his speed would be a bonus, but the Ravens would still should be a dangerous team this year without him. My opinion only. GO RAVENS!
