Any Ravens Fans Here...
The biggest concern is a lackluster running game that ranked 25th in the NFL, the lowest in team history. Jamal Lewis, who averaged 70.7 yards a game, is due a $5 million bonus in March, which likely will force the Ravens to cut him or restructure the contract.
"I thought Jamal played very, very hard," Billick said. "I've never seen Jamal as into what we were doing and trying to get better from week to week."
The offensive line could undergo some changes despite a solid season.
The Ravens don't want to lose offensive tackle Tony Pashos, who is considered a priority in free agency. But there's a chance Pashos could receive a big offer elsewhere.
They also must decide whether promising rookie Chris Chester will move into the starting lineup. It's presumed either center Mike Flynn (who is scheduled to make $2 million in 2007 and 2008) or right guard Keydrick Vincent (who will make $1.6 million next season) will be asked to restructure his contract and take a backup role.
But the biggest issue on the line is out of their control. Before leaving team headquarters on Sunday, Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden said he is considering retirement.
"Jonathan is the only one who can answer that question," Billick said. "It may be a while before Jonathan makes that decision, and we'll certainly be respectful about that."

bump for the new season...its right around the corner and i seriously cant wait. i'm sorry but even with all these records getting broken left and right, baseball is pretty meaningless to me. i'd wish it come sooner...
btw, got 2 extra preaseason tickets on 50 yard line for face value. just trying to get rid of them...pm me if you're interested.

The Ravens have been looking pretty good so far in camp.
Preseason is pretty meaningless, especially the first 2 games. We will see starts maybe 2 possessions.
