A Slight Update on Those Ravens

1. The team re-signed running back Matt Lawrence today. Lawrence was on the Ravens' practice squad in 2008 before joining the active roster last year. He was a productive player on special teams with a total of 16 tackles before being put on IR in week 12. The Ravens aren't necessarily in need of a running back when you've got guys like Ray Rice and Willis McGahee leading the pack, but he can bring added depth to the position. Also, when you've got a former Special Teams Coach for the Head Coach in John Harbaugh, it never hurts to bring some versatility onto that squad.

2. Offensive Coordinator Cam Cameron tried a unique approach to working out QB Joe Flacco by taking him out to the University of Southern California to practice with a Trojan baseball pitching coach. The plan was to work the muscles around his shoulder and focus on his throwing motion, helping with throwing accuracy and overall arm strength. This somewhat of a mix between baseball and football is another attempt at making young Joe a future star quarterback.

3. It's a well known fact that the Ravens need to fix the issues with their secondary. Now, injuries may actually be forcing them to do that. Cornerbacks Lardarius Webb and Fabian Washington ended their seasons early with knee injuries last year and it is still speculation whether they will be ready for training camp. Coach Harbaugh said they are still playing everything by ear, but if Webb and Washington (who he said are still "a ways away" from being ready for action) are not healthy enough to play, they will be forced to make a plan of attack. He said this could involve signing two veteran free agents or signing one veteran and drafting a young corner. Here's hoping they figure out something that works at this position...and fast.
