Ravens offense explodes, on and off the field
Posted by Mike Florio on September 14, 2009 9:08 AM ET

For nearly a decade under offensive genius Brian Billick, the Ravens were a team that typically won football games by keeping the opposing team as close to the egg of a goose as possible.

Now, in year two after Billick's departure, the offense is starting to look like it was supposed to look throughout his tenure.

Indeed, the 38 points that Baltimore scored on Sunday represents more than any scored during the last year of Billick's tenure, when the team scored 30 points once and less than 20 half the time. Though the Ravens scored more than 30 points four times in John Harbaugh's first season at the helm, they never made it to 38.

And the Ravens are also becoming explosive off the field, too.

According to Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com, the Ravens didn't take kindly to remarks from Keyshawn Johnson and Cris Carter in a recent conference call, during which Johnson at one point said of quarterback Joe Flacco, "You want a bum, you pay a bum."

"Keyshawn Johnson is the bum, that's why he's in the analyst seat," receiver Derrick Mason told Freeman. "He tried to come back to football but no one would sign him. He was never that good a player. He got lucky and signed on in Tampa Bay and won a Super Bowl because they had a great defense.

"Just look at the two people doing the criticizing, that's all I'm saying. Keyshawn was overrated and Carter is in the same boat I'm in. He doesn't have a Super Bowl ring either. He's in the analyst seat without a ring. At least I'm playing. He still wants to play but he can't anymore. We're the bums? That's why you're in the analyst seat. Just be quiet and keep dreaming you still could play."

(Mason really needs to come out of his shell.)

Apart from the 38 points on the scoreboard and the all points bulletin on Keyshawn's playing career, the Ravens rang up 501 yards of total offense, and they surrendered only 188.

So if the Baltimore ball-moving unit is waking up at a time when the defense is still playing great, they could be a very serious contender in the AFC, again.

That said, there's also a chance that the Chiefs are still really, really bad, and that the Ravens will struggle against the likes to the Chargers, Patriots, Vikings, Colts, Steelers (twice), Packers, and Bears.

More on the Chiefs-Ravens game is coming later today, One-Liner style.

Check Johnson's numbers in his super bowl year. The dude did absolutely nothing to help them win it. 1 TD on the season, and 60 yards or so in the actual Super Bowl.

He did his job as a blocker, in which case that Buccs team would have done just as well with a guy like Musin Muhammed.

Wasn't it just a few weeks ago when Johnson told Marshal to shut up and win a ring before he talks? Johnson was pulling all that star and flashlight **** when he was with the jets and unless the Jets had him rostered in 1969 that pile of **** hadn't won a damn thing.

Good for Mason, finally someone speaking without the anonymity of "the unnamed source". Guys like Mason need to speak up in this league. I'm tired of hearing the same old uneducated piles of dog **** like Chad Johnson and TO getting all the press while the palyers that actually HAVE something to say, sit quiet.

Mason = new favorite player for 09 Laughing

"Mason = new favorite player for 09 "

And my new least favorite player for '09...http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4473245

I haven't paid any attention to this story until I saw it today. What a douchebag.
I don't understand the part about re-entering the draft. I thought a team had the rights to a player once they selected them. Didn't realize those rights expired after a year. Hope the 49ers keep the rights to him and never pay him a cent so that he has to get a job. See how much that degree in nothing is worth from ****ing Texas Tech.

I thought you meant you didn't like what Mason had to say...i was surprised to say the least.

Anywho....Crabtree is a bum, i never thought i'd see the day that a player would actually sit out a full year rather than get paid millions of dollars to play a game. Glad to see we have come this far as a country. Exciting.

With a full year off of football, do you think he'll even be a first round player in 2010?

**ethan** · by **ethan** on Tue Sep 15, 2009 12:18 am

I don't see how he could be a 1st rounder. Plus, teams would have to take into consideration his holdout history and refusal to play for the 49ers.

I like the Mason comment.

In a way it's kind of good Crabtree is doing this. I think he had potential, but if he stays out and waits to be drafted again there is no way a team is going to select him that high. Imagine if he went to the 2nd round? It'll be the perfect message to future players to be thankful for what you get.

**carter** · by **carter** on Tue Sep 15, 2009 4:24 pm

orrr booba...he lands on a high powered offense and becomes a main stay in the NFL. The last thing, IMO, this league needs is another big mouthed cry baby bitching about not getting the ball enough.

I see your point though...who knows, i hope you're right.

BTW, good for the 49ers in not paying this a-hole.

**ethan** · by **ethan** on Wed Sep 16, 2009 12:14 am

Agreed. Just for that, SF, I will cheer for you.

I also hope that Booba is correct. I'd love for Crabtree to fall to the second round next year. Unfortunately, even if he does, he'll still get $ 1 mil or more per year, which is far more than a douchebag like him deserves.

P.S. Should I be alarmed that my semen has a slightly reddish tint as of late? I don't actually see any blood (like when you spit and there are strings of blood mixed in with the saliva), but I don't know what else could cause such coloration. Something in the food I've been eating? The air?

you are a terrible person. Your parents should have smothered you as a youth.

**ethan** · by **ethan** on Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:12 pm

What??? I ask a serious question about my physical well being, and you get all bent out of shape. Well, I guess I know who my REAL friends are.

Booba, don't worry, I'll keep you posted on the hue of my bodily fluids.

**RCBooba** · by **RCBooba** on Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:45 pm

Thanks, buddy. Sweating bullets over here thinking about it.

**RCBooba** · by **RCBooba** on Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:46 pm

FYI you might wanna get that checked.
