CAMP OBJECTIVES:
As always seems to be the case with the Ravens, there
is a great deal of work to do on the offensive side
of the football as camp begins. For starters, quarterback
and Titans castoff Steve McNair will be looking to
pass a crash course in Jim Fassel's offense, and will
be attempting to find some chemistry with his fellow
offensive principles. The long-lamented line, particularly
a right side that often resembled a turnstile last
season, will have to come together early to protect
McNair and block for the running backs. Jamal Lewis,
who was rewarded for his poor play and attitude problems
in 2005 with a new, lucrative contract, will have
to show up to play this year, and new backup running
back Mike Anderson must prove he has something left
in the tank. The defense has some question marks as
well, particularly regarding whether Ray Lewis can
recover from his recent injury problems and become
a dominant player again. Lewis will be working behind
a reconstructed d-line that will include rookie Haloti
Ngata (Oregon) on the interior and is likely to feature
free agent Trevor Pryce (Broncos) at one of the ends.
The secondary is looking for a starting free safety
following the departure of Will Demps (Giants), and
former Colt Gerome Sapp would seem to be the leading
candidate for that job. Last but not least, either
rookie Sam Koch (Nebraska) or journeyman Leo Araguz
(Seahawks) will replace Dave Zastudil (Browns) at
punter.
