Rarely healthy? The guy has barely missed a snap in the past two seasons. None of his injuries kept him on the sideline. Heap takes his hits and he hasn't complained once. This is the kind of guy you want on a football team. I hope that we can get a good blocking TE so that we can get Heap more involved with the passing game next year.

Just because Heap hasn't missed time doesn't mean he hasn't been dealing with injuries. It pains me to see it, but he gets up slowly after almost every big catch.

I [b]want[/b] him to remain a Raven but I don't know if it'll happen.

The Ravens should keep Heap, if he wishes to stay, but use him only on passing downs as a receiever. His speed has decreased over his career and he wasn't too fast to begin with. He does well with jump passes due to his height and leaping abiblity which is where the ravens need to utilize him and get him off the offensive line. He is weak at blocking and is unable to get separation after blocks. Flaco needs as many target to throw to as possible to open up the offense and Heap would generate big numbers if the ravens go to a 4 or 5 receiver set.
