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.

Ravens offense is gonna be legit this year

I like to think of him as IN FLACCO WE TRUST   And Mason lit up on them.  Great thing he did come out of retirement.  But if you think about it, the analysts are trying to keep their jobs.  This is how you get hired as a media guy/announcer/analyst for NFL.  Have a love affair with the Steelers & brainwash the youth on how little miss innocent they are no matter what evil they do, whatever thug cheap shot they do, its just physical football   Did that junk when I was a kid but I was never fooled   Even though there is a difference between being physical & being a thug.  And you also have to hate the Ravens, single them out also.  Because of 1995.  The grudge must live forever.  No matter what good they do in the world, they can never win with the media. 

I might have said this before but some of these retired players should go home & be a family man.  Being in the league for a decade in a half & still wanna hang around making me miserable.  Stop tryna keep your name in the spotlight & on TV by being an analyst.  That's for losers.  Not all of them, just some of the ones I hate.  Bad enough some of them don't know what they're talking about anyway.  Need to be seen & not heard.
