The O's drop below .500, let's talk some Ravens

Here's some video of all of the Ravens draft picks (hopefully of them playing football). I can't watch videos from my PC at work, so I'm not sure how good they are. The descirptions were good, so I'm guessing the vids are also. Let me know if you find better. For now, enjoy these:

There is a possibilty that Ray Lewis might face his brother in Dallas on December 20th. His brother, former MD Terp RB Keon Lattimore was picked up by the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent. This game will also be the last game played at the stadium in Dallas. The new stadium is scheduled to open for the 2009 season.

Speaking of Ray, Tavares Gooden --- who by many accounts, will definitely be a good'n, wore #52 at 'the U'. I think he will probaly be wearing a different number for the Ravens.

Joe Flacco will wear #5 and his jersey is already available from the Ravens online store. Here are the rest of the rookie/free agent jersey numbers:

Rice - 39
Gooden - 49
Zbikowski - 40
Cousins - 64
Smith - 81
Hale - 76
Nakamura - 43 (No, Vashone Adams' number was NOT retired)
Harper - 14
Patrick - 38
Washington - 31

JO update: I heard Rob Burnett on WBAL over the weekend and he said that, in a recent phone conversation, JO told him that he was done. No official word from the Ravens yet, so we shall see. Of course, according to this video from NFL.com, John Harbaugh and Cam Cameron would like to have JO back, so maybe they aren't on speaking terms with Rob Burnett. :-)

Happy Mother's Day to all those for whom this message would apply.
