Pretty good piece by Adam Schein.

Getting me pumped up for September. Great piece. I agree with all his comments except re Boldin.

I know HE said it, WE didn't - but don't need no stinking headlines of that nature.

Am curious about what you mean by "disagreeing" w/ him on Boldin.

Reed's leadership will be missed, but as a player that must be replaced from 2012, I will also most miss Boldin. Caldwell was using him correctly on routes that relied less on separation than on positioning, strength, and toughness. I don't see that type of overpowering possession receiver back on the roster yet. So , yeah, minus the alarmist language, I pretty much agree that Boldin is a net loss and/or the vet we moved on from who will be most missed, at least initiallty.

T has gone on record many times as being absolutely against the Ravens trading Boldin. He feels it was a big mistake. I think (and I could be mischaracterizing) he thinks that Ravens will miss Boldin a bunch this upcoming season.

I agree. Of all of Ozzie's moves, this is the only one I disagree with. I would have liked to see what Joe and Boldin could have done in a Jim Caldwell-led offense. I think it could have been special. That said Ozzie has earned my trust.

nice article, thanks for posting. Glad to see a Raven article that doesn't say 'they're rebuilding'

I must admit to being shocked that this came from Schein. All I heard last year was anti-Raven from him. Maybe I need to listen to him again.

I've never found him to be anything other than objective.

I think that rubs some fans the wrong way.

Knew you would all like it. Can not wait to upset the world on the road again.

Great article and my favorite line.

Terrell Suggs will be healthy for a full year. Haloti Ngata is a beast. Those two -- not Reed and Lewis -- have been the best players on the Baltimore defense of late.

Reed and Lewis are legends of the game, but Suggs and Ngata have been better recently not all time.

Just saw this too, I like how Brian Billick didn't get all anti-Ravens like Trent Dilfer after the split.

Did I really just read that from Schein?

Seriously though, when you step back and look at how things have fallen into place, it leaves you in awe. All this prior to the draft too. Simply an amazing organization from the top down.
