Smitty was a PR and he stepped back and did it as a veteran at times.

Crunch time the Ravens would put Hall of Famer Ed Reed back there.

There's also the increased risk of concussions on those plays as well. 

Damn.  Hit with math and science.  Never saw it coming.  Good post, Ricky.

Remember that playoff game against Seattle I think?  He had not returned a punt in a couple years I think, then they throw him in there when we really needed a spark and he takes it to the damn house!

That was all I had in mind.

89 was still our primary punt returner in 2005 (the triple crown season)

and when he wasn't returning punts our starting CB Gamble was.

I'm really not getting why Thomas is still working with the 1's.  Is he the only TE working with starters?

I'm thinking(or hoping) camp this year is just a "sink or swim" moment for him. I seem to recall a lot of dropping passes, running wrong routes, and having to run laps the past two camps...

And often they let the established veteran start and lose the position in camp instead of just knocking him to third string before a pad pops.

listen Bill Nye, I'm tired of worrying about muffed punts!  What does science say about my blood pressure.  I'm prioritizing my personal health here.

Brian Burns doing Brian Burns things

Whole team got off the sideline, including coaches to surround Keith Kirkwood down on the field.

 

JT Ibe kicked out of practice for the hit.

was that the offensive right side or defensive?  I assume defensive right-which means offensive left if my math does not fail me.  So when we are scrimmaging each other, tell us who won the matchup--it is significant.

Well the game I mentioned, Smitty had not been the primary punt returner for quite some time - thats why it was such a big deal when he came in and ripped off a TD right away.

Grier had himself a day yesterday. He looked like a 3rd round draft pick for once.

That would be a very welcome unexpected development.
