2008 NFL Preseason “Quick Analysis”
AFC Baltimore Ravens
Location: Baltimore, Maryland
Stadium: M&T Bank Stadium
Coach: Brian Billick
NFL Championships: Super Bowl XXXV (2000)
The Baltimore ravens got to take the team out of Cleveland in 1996, but not its history. Thus, the franchise began a new that season. Things did not start out too well, but within five years Ravens fans were buying Super Bowl tickets as the new staunch defense that would characterize the Ravens dominated the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV.
The Ravens have struggled since with the offensive limitations that were temporarily relieved by Jamal Lewis. In the end season tickets have given fans a view of a crushing defense led by Ray Lewis that hits quarterbacks hard and stops the runs as good as any team in the league.
That was during the Brian Billick era though, now that his time has passed, it will be interesting to see what happens to the hard-nosed football team that rule din Baltimore.
The Baltimore Ravens have a new head coach in John Harbaugh. The will bring a new attitude to the team, a team that needs to sell the new attitude as much as it needs to sell tickets. He is accompanied by a new offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron, and a new heir apparent at quarterback, Joe Flacco.
Some Baltimore Ravens history: Baltimore was home to the Baltimore Colts (now Indianapolis Colts) from 1953 through 1983. This franchise, one of the most respected in the entire NFL, was lured to Indianapolis by that city, which had built a domed stadium that was standing empty. The Irsay family, owners of the Colts, packed up the team's gear and moved it at night to Indianapolis. The city of Baltimore, stunned by the move, turned the tables by coaxing the Cleveland franchise to come to Baltimore.
