Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain has had a busy week preparing for a Philadelphia Eagles offense led by quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy. On top of that, McClain will also be getting ready to play a regular-season NFL game in his hometown of Philadelphia for the first time in his career. Here are some of his thoughts heading into the game. - Ravens inside linebacker Jameel McClain has had a busy week, preparing for a Philadelphia Eagles offense led by quarterback Michael Vick and running back LeSean McCoy while getting ready to play a regular season NFL game in his hometown of Philadelphia for the first time in his career. Here are a couple of his thoughts heading into the game
- Amongst the many options that Philadelphia has in quarterback Michael Vick, wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and tight end Brent Celek, LeSean McCoy may be the most significant piece of the offensive puzzle.
- Baltimore Sun reporters and columnists offer their predictions for Sunday's game between the Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles.
- Marty Mornhinweg has no issues with quarterback Michael Vick's state of mind, but CBS analyst Dan Dierdorf thinks Vick's four interceptions sting
- Every morning, Monday through Friday, blogger Matt Vensel will hook you up with reading material -- mostly on the Ravens but with some other Baltimore sports stuff, too -- to skim through as you slug down coffee and slack off at the start of your workday. That way he'll have an excuse to do the same to start his workday, too.
- In the last three seasons, the Ravens are 5-7 following victories in the season opener and wins against teams with winning records.
- Catching up with offensive lineman who considered joining the Ravens
- Each Wednesday, blogger Matt Vensel will highlight five statistics that really mean something for the Ravens. This week, he looks at Joe Flacco's success with the deep ball against the Bengals, Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick's struggles with sacks, and more.
- Every week, I hope to bring you a quick Q&A with someone who covers the Ravens' opponent that week. On Sunday, the Ravens travel to Philly to take on the 1-0 Eagles, so naturally I would chat with Sheil Kapadia, a former Baltimore Sun staffer who helped create the tremendous Birds 24/7 blog for Philadelphia Magazine.
- Each week, Baltimore Sun reporters Aaron Wilson and Matt Vensel will look back at the previous game of the Ravens and their next opponent.
- Baltimore Sun reporters break down the film from last week's games involving the Baltimore Ravens and their next opponent.
- It's been a while since the Baltimore Ravens defense faced this many questions to start the season. One of the league's most established defenses suddenly has a new look.
- This is what the 25-year-old had waited for all offseason: a multi-year commitment from the Ravens, and a chance to report to training camp next week armed with a new lucrative contract and long-term security.
- Ray Rice rushed for 4,377 yards in his first four NFL seasons, all before the Ravens running back had celebrated his 25th birthday.
- Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti touched on a variety of topics. Here are his thoughts on some of the prevailing subjects affecting the Ravens.
- Ray Rice, the Ravens' star running back who has stayed away from the team's facility this offseason as his agent attempts to secure a contract extension for him, is not expected to be at OTAs, but that should not be taken as a sign that the negotiations are going poorly.
- There has been no indication the Ravens would consider trying to recoup some of Terrell Suggs' salary.

- Fantasy Fodder: Fantasy All-Stars for the 2011 NFL season
- We are into the nitty-gritty of the fantasy playoffs, so let's get down to business with injury updates, some waiver-wire pickups if you're desperate, and more. If your squad needs help, shoot me a note. And feel free to leave your horror story in the comments section if you have already been dismissed.
- Ray Rice, already one of the best backs to play for the Ravens, would like to remain with the team
- Grumpy Ravens coach John Harbaugh on Monday had to answer a few questions about the use of Ray Rice in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Based on the line of questioning from reporters, I'm guessing at least one of those guys has Rice, who had 27 rushing yards on a season-low five carries, on their fantasy team.
- The Philadelphia Eagles haven't been the team we expected (I'm no longer using the 'D' word when talking about the Eagles, and you're welcome). They are 3-5 at the midway point of the season, and their margin for error is slim to make it into the playoffs.
- Last week, we looked at the biggest surprises of the 2011 fantasy football campaign. This time around, we will hand out dishonors to the disappointing (non-injured) players who have torpedoed our seasons so far. Try not to cuss too much in the comments section below after receiving this list, OK?
- College football: Former City and Cardinal Gibbons player Matt Brown, often overlooked because of his size, has come up big as a running back at Temple
