I know that Kyle Boller,Jamal Lewis and Coach Billick played much better when they were under the gun the last time. Honestly, as a fan, seasons like this one are trying, and I guess I am one of the few that owns a Matt Stover jersey. He seems the one to pull out wins the most. (Last game against the Dolphins excluded!) I am just wondering if there is a “performance clause” in Coach Billick’s contract and how aggressive Mr. Bisciotti will be in persuing it.

I read this on a <a href="http://www.andrewoodson.org" rel="nofollow">Andre Woodson</a> site. There are rumors swirling that the Ravens may lose franchise left OT Jonathan Ogden to retirement. If that happens, it's possible that the Ravens may look to the draft to add a high-end tackle, though they landed Maryland OT Jared Gaither in the 2007 Supplemental Draft, and if he has developed as they hoped he would, it's possible that Gaither may be starting at left offensive tackle in 2008. The Ravens only have one major free agent to be in Terrell Suggs. They could go with a linebacker here, since in this mock the big names (Dan Connor, James Laurinaitis, etc.) would all be on the board. But, with the Ravens having so much difficulty performing on offense, and Steve McNair turning 35 this upcoming February, a quarterback like Woodson would be a great addition to the team. Brian Brohm would be a consideration here as well, but I'd think that Woodson would get the nod over Brohm with his pinpoint accuracy. We shall see. Kyle Boller played a great game against the Patriots two weeks ago, but he came off of that game with a three interception debacle against Indianapolis on Sunday night. I strongly suspect that Boller will not be in the team's long-term future. An "X Factor" is the presence of Troy Smith on the roster, and how the team evaluates his development will also play a role in what they do in this spot. Is this possible? I think he would be great for the Ravens. Anyone think Andre will be drafted by the Ravens?
