Time to get excited about Ravens' passing game

Baltimore Sun

Now, it's time to get excited about the Ravens' passing game. For the first time since Michael Jackson and Derrick Alexander in the mid- to late-1990s, the Ravens have two receivers who are legitimate weapons and can make big plays.

You can't double-team both Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason. It was a good move to sign Mason to a two-year, $8 million deal.

I'm sure there will be some ego problems along the way with both Mason and Boldin, but a good coaching staff will keep the disputes to a minimum. With Mason in the fold, the Ravens can now concentrate on some other issues in the draft or free agency, such as finding a pass rusher or cornerback.

The Ravens, though, still need to find a young receiver in this draft, one they can groom and allow to grow with quarterback Joe Flacco. Mason and Boldin will be good teachers.
