Who to root for and the future of the Ravens?

[shawn ny]

I have begun to notice a lethargic nature in much of the Baltimore Ravens since the departure of our historic leaders and playmakers such as Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Haloti Ngata.  Suggs likely has very few years left and it seems that the only people on the team who consistently make plays and bring energy to the Ravens are Steve Smith Sr who is done after this year and CJ Mosely.  It almost feels like we lack explosive consistent playmakers.  My question is, who do you think will be our future playmakers (on our current roster) and the face of the franchise in the upcoming years?

Offensive core: Flacco, Yanda, Gillmore, M. Williams, Boyle

 

Defensive core: Mosley, J. Smith, B. Williams, possibly C. Upshaw

 

Yeah...that's all I have. The team in general lacks playmakers on both sides of the ball.

Id throw Carl Davis into the core of defensive players.  He makes plays and was fired up after each play in the second half. Hopefully Terrence Brooks can join that group sometime soon to

Forgot Davis, he's been a player so far. Of all our early round picks he was the one I was most confident in and he's proving me right.

So we are 3playmakers behind last year's team. No player was able to offset that.

He has been better then expected so far, I am really happy we drafted him.  Id love to include Taliaferro and Campanaro into the offensive group but they have been unable to stay healthy so far.  Both guys have the potential to be game changers for us though, Campanaro made some nice plays yesterday and yet Brown and Aiken play significant snaps over him

I keep waiting for Terrence Brooks to get his chance but Harbs doesn't seem to like him.

I doubt Harbs is the reason he isn't playing. To play him or not would be Pees' decision.
