Its been a hard few days for Ravens fans when they have been some bad news that came out of training camp.
On Wednesday, we found out that Jacoby Jones failed his conditional test. I know some of the fans wonder if Dancing with the stars messed up is preparation for camp. We know that we tried for him to win the contest, but around the time of mini camp. I wanted Jacoby to get voted off so he can come back to the castle to help us repeat as Super Bowl champs. To me football is more important than some dumb dance competition. On Friday he retook the conditional test and passed it.
There were reports that said the Ravens will resign there former pro bowl fullback Vonta leach. We cut him a month ago to help clear up some cap space. Its now Monday and we still don't have him yet. I hear on ESPN that he will sign with us or go New York Giants or the Miami Dolphins
The most heart breaking news that came out of camp so far is that our star tight end will miss the entire season because of sever hip injury. This is a huge blow for the offense and to the whole team because he was really good friends with star QB Flacco. And it showed on game days because Pitta was making some big plays for us in key situations. I was hearing reports that we were planing to but pitta in the slot like we did with Boldin.
Since Pitta going to be out for the year, we signed Visante Shiancoe to a 1 year contract. he will be competing against Billy Bajema to be Ed Dickson backup. I really don't know if this a good pick up because he only had a few relevant yrs in Minnesota when he played with Hall Famer Brett Favre. Before that he wasn't a known Tight end is this league and his number has dropped ever since Brett favre has retired. Some games last yr he played for the Pats with Brady and he still didn't do anything. So i am little worried that this trend will be in effect.
