The Poor City of Baltimore

Question of the Day: How big of an impact will the injury to Hanley Ramirez have on the Dodgers? 

Today, the Baltimore Ravens have now lost their sixth starter from the Super Bowl. Safety, Ed Reed had been a key component of the Ravens defense since 2002. Reed, is the active leader in interceptions with 61 and 10th all time. He has a great chance to pass Dick Lane this upcoming season, to become 4th all time with 69 interceptions. He has 606 combined tackles, and once held the record for longest touchdown run of 107 yards. I consider Ed Reed to be the greatest safety of all time. He is a sure fire Hall of Famer when he hangs up his cleats but for now, he will look incredibly different in a Houston Texans jersey. Reed, 34, agreed to the terms of a 3 year/ $12 million dollar offer late this afternoon, changing the atmosphere in the city of Baltimore forever. 

The Baltimore Ravens have now lost 6 starters from the Super Bowl, including legendary linebacker, Ray Lewis (retirement), Bernard Pollard, and Paul Kruger. The Ravens also traded away their best wide receiver  Anquan Boldin to the San Fransisco 49ers. I hate to say it.. kinda... but the Ravens are not going to  repeat their chances of winning the Super Bowl, let alone make the playoffs because of their decisions of letting their free agents go to other teams. While the Ravens have locked up their franchise quarterback to the largest contract in NFL history, they forgot to resign the main components that led him to be the world's richest quarterback. 

The Raven but their upper management staff is stupid. Not only did they let Boldin go to the 49ers, whom they played IN the Super Bowl, but letting free agents like legend, Ed Reed is beyond me. In order to build for the future, the Ravens need to have at least a few guys that can protect the franchise player, Joe Flacco on both sides of the ball. The best that ill happen to the Ravens this upcoming season is that they have a record of 8-8. They will come in second (Or third depending on the Steelers) in their division.
