They are mostly of him playing QB, but it at least shows his speed, moves and wildcat possibilities.

Any update on negotiations with Oher?

[RavensReppin]

Im just excited for training camp fullstop. I hope everyone turns up with passion and pride and fights for their respected number one position. I also hope everyone pulls through at 100%.

I just wanna know whats going through McGahees Head at the momment??

What exactly didnt Rice show?
[/quote]

It's nothing against Rice but most of his playing time was in the second half on a tired defense. I hope he works out for us in the long run but I dont think he should or even could be a starter for us this year.

[Alexir]

I am curious to see the recievers especially Harper and Smith. I will be attending the camp on July 31st (this Friday).

Also curious to see the Tight Ends, who I think will be a huge part of our recieving group this year.

Things I'd like to see...

Oher at 330lb, laying the pimp hand down

WRs stepping it up and making our CBs work, Smith and Harper especially (DWill is going to hand one of them his job )

Willis McGahee in good shape

Kelly Gregg at 100%

Terrell Suggs video blogs/skits

No red-shirts

D Will is going to be olur #1 by mid season if Mason doesnt come out of retirement. Clayton couldnt get open all last year. Smith and Harper will fight it out for the #3 spot.

[BloodRaven]

If D Will makes it through camp let alone the season without an injury i'll be shocked.

Has anyone watched Flacco during camp so far. The guy just can't stop smiling. He's the most relaxed player I have ever seen. Every pass, every handoff he has this grin on his face. He looks like he is having fun.

Yeah, I realy like Flacco. I expect that we will see vast improvement in his play over last year.

I haven't been out to camp, but just from watching video interviews from Joe, he seems to have full control of this offense.

He sounds like a 7-8 year vet. I loved the way he handled the whole Mason situation and this comment he made about DWill.....

[MikeS]

I put up some of my shots from day 1 at training camp. If anyone wants to see them they are at http://www.ravenmaniac.com/camp2009

I'll add to them every time I go out

"Big turnout for Ravens' first full-team practice

I've been to the opening day of every Ravens training camp and I've never seen a turnout like the one I've already seen this morning. I arrived at the track at McDaniel College at 6 a.m, and the parking lot was packed. According to one of the security guards, folks started pulling in around 5:30. By 7 a.m, some of the fans were already chanting, "Steelers Suck, Steelers Suck."

wish I was there!

[quote]Ray Lewis scolded Flacco when he batted down a pass, yelling,

[J-man]

I know a lot of players have these but, what do the white things on D Will's upper right hand corner of his jersey...

[Moderator 3]

That patch signifies that he participated in all of the off-season OTAs and workout programs.

[Alexir]

I really see Harper getting the number 2 spot if Mason doesnt come back. He has been almost catching everything. Our team looks so damn fast and so jacked!

You guys gotta see it in person, words cant describe it.

That being said, I don't think Figurs or John Beck will make the team. I also believe Ayanbadejo might be going as well. There is too much talent that can be efficient as a position player and ST than to have just an average LB and stand out ST.

I noticed today that D. Williams dropped at least 4 passes that I saw. Heap dropped 2 of them as well. I did see Troy Smith get picked off and then chase down Nakimura and shove him out of bounds. After he got knocked out, he chucked the ball at Troy and they had some choice words for eachother but then Cam calmed Troy down. This practice was fun to watch since they worked alot on the long ball. Flacco definitely can throw the best deep ball. It looks so nice when he lets one fly thirty yards.

Both the backs were hitting the holes hard, but Rice looked better. Gano looked alright, I think he missed a 36 yarder. When they were trying to hit the goal posts from the side of the field, only Haushka (sp?) hit it. Didn't really notice Kruger. Oher looked fine. Clayton caught some deep balls from Flacco. Didn't notice Foxworth.
