Torrey Smith appeared carefree and relaxed as he shrugged his shoulders each time his contract status was broached last week.

The deal for Jacoby Jones, a proven deep threat and one of the game's fastest returners, has a maximum value of $14 million if he hits all his incentive clauses, sources said.

When Joe Flacco and the Ravens offense caught fire during the 2012 postseason, a big spark was the play of a pair of pass-catchers over the middle.

In about a four hour span Sunday, the Denver Broncos went from offensive juggernaut to overmatched and overwhelmed against a swarming Seattle Seahawks defense that is among the best in recent memory.

The Ravens' secondary played arguably its best game of the season last week against the Cincinnati Bengals but they have a bigger challenge ahead this week.

One might think it is tough to find a positive in the Ravens secondary after Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning threw for seven passing touchdowns Thursday night. But in his return to a real game after his second ACL injury in four years, Lardarius Webb gave the Ravens a little something to feel good about

We knew the Ravens would be in the nickel a lot against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. They probably had to use it even more than expected as the Broncos went three-wide on more than 75 percent of their plays. As a result, Jimmy Smith, Corey Graham and Lardarius Webb played significant snaps.

Defensive coordinator Dean Pees reaffirmed that $50 million cornerback Lardarius Webb is healthy and ready heading into the Ravens' season opener Thursday night against the Denver Broncos.

Ravens cornerback Corey Graham shed the relative obscurity of being a former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl special-teams ace to becoming a key defender for the Ravens last postseason.

With a formidable pair of edge rushers in Terrell Suggs and Elvis Dumervil, nose tackle Haloti Ngata and a handful of other pass rushers, the Baltimore Ravens appear to have what it takes to harass quarterbacks. But time won't be on their side Thursday night against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos.

Three-receiver sets were by far the most commonly used personnel grouping in the NFL last season. Even the Ravens used them on nearly half of their snaps. By putting an extra wide receiver on the field, the Ravens are able to stretch defenses and take full advantage of Flacco's strong arm. They are still trying to determine which three wideouts are their best combination, but the three-receiver sets are here to stay in Baltimore and in the NFL as a whole.

Regardless of who starts at cornerback opposite Lardarius Webb, Corey Graham and Jimmy Smith will be on the field together more often than not.

In eager anticipation of the 2013 NFL season, Matt Vensel of The Baltimore Sun will take a daily look at one of the 13 opponents on the Baltimore Ravens' schedule. Today's team is the Denver Broncos.
