BALTIMORE RAVENS 2014 Season Preview..."A QB DRIVEN LEAGUE" with Ordinary JOE and HARBAUGH Purple Browns Edition lead the Charge!...They add WR STEVE S. from #BackInBlack PANTHERS to go with TORREY S. and OWEN D. from #BullsOnParade joins DENNIS P. at TE...NGATA and T-SIZZLE lead that "D" with Rook C.J. MOSELY in the Middle and WEBB Island on the Back End with SS "Hammer" MATT E. #Ravens #PurpleReign #PurpleBrowns #BallSoHardUniversity

The Baltimore Ravens matched their rival the Pittsburgh Steelers with an 8-8 Campaign and 4-2 in the  AFC North. They took a couple steps back as QB Joe Flacco had 19 TDs and 22 INTs after his big Pay Day and they should have paid him.

Ray Rice gets a two-game suspension for some off the field issues as Bernard Pierce steps in as the #1 RB. Torrey Smith gets help in Steve Smith from the Carolina Panthers. The O-Line is in tact as they pick up Center Jeremy Zuttah from the Bucs.

The "D" is led by Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs as they will be backed up by Ravens Top Pick C.J. Mosely from 'Bama. The back End has #1 CB LaDarius Webb with "Hammer" SS Matt Elam the Ravens 2013 Top Pick as the Purple Browns start turning over the roster for the greater good!

Key Players

Offense
QB Joe
RB Pierce/Rice
WR T. Smith/S. Smith/J. Jones/ M. Brown
TEs Pitta/Owen Daniels (2014 FA Texans)
C J. Zutta (2014 FA Bucs)
RG M. Yanda

Defense
DT H. Ngata
OLB Ball So Hard University #55
ILB C. J. Mosely (2014 Top Pick Alabama)
LCB L. Webb
SS M. Elam

The Offense should get a boost from both WR Steve Smith of the Panthers and TE Owen Daniels coming over from "Bulls on Parade" the Houston Texans. That O-Line will have a new center and there will be some adjustments from Pass to Run Blocking.

Defensively they should be pretty good. Haloti Ngata and Terrell Suggs anchor the "D" as they add some nice young pieces. Mosely and Upshaw from 'Bama are solid players and they have former 'Bama All-American TE and Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome written all over those picks.

The Back End with a healthy CB in LeDarius Webb should be more than solid. 2nd-year to be Safety Matt Elam was impressive in his rookie campaign and CB Jimmy Smith is improving.
