Ravens update

I’M TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE RAVENS even in the offseason for the first time, if only so that during next season I know new the new names.

This Matt Birk business sounds pretty amazing. Good to know Flacco will have a veteran in front of him.

But losing Jim Leonhard? How did we let this happen? That guy is awesome. I can understand Bart Scott going to the Jets, he’s a big name, and Lewis thinking about it or trying or whatever he was doing, again, big(gest) name. And I’m not too sad. But Leonhard seems fresh (was gonna say “young,” but apparently he’s not too young) and really on the rise. He seemed to be almost Flacco’s mirror in the defense last year–the guy who surprised you, especially considering what you have to do to be noticed amidst the Ravens’ defense.
I was already thinking about it, and have been since learning the cheer from my Jersey friend QOWJenn, but I think I’m one notch closer to Jets Fan now.
Seriously, I’ll be surprised if Leonhard doesn’t turn out to be a great player.
