If the Baltimore Ravens had not collapsed in the 2nd half against the Pittsburgh Steelers in last season’s playoffs, this would have been the AFC Championship Game match up last season. The Baltimore Ravens will take on the Baltimore Jets (I mean the New York Jets) Sunday night. Sorry, the Jets have so many former Baltimore Ravens personnel that I call them the baby Ravens. Sunday night they will return to Baltimore to play their daddies.
The Jet’s fearless leader and former Ravens defensive coordinator, Rex Ryan, will have his team ready to play for sure. Rex Ryan is big on stopping the run and the Jet’s gave up yards galore last week. The last time these 2 teams met the Ravens won a very close game in New York. The is a game that Rex Ryan & Co. really want to win. Expect to see some hard hitting smash mouth football and a very good game.
By the way, Rex Ryan’s book makes a good read. He talks about some of his experiences as a defensive coordinator while he was with the Baltimore Ravens.
Say it isn’t so. One of my favorite players for the Baltimore Ravens, Derrick Mason, has signed with the New York Jets. That’s right Derrick Mason is going to the New York Jets. Mason will most likely be playing against the Baltimore Ravens in week 4 of the season. Derrick Mason is the all-time leader in pass receptions and yardage for Baltimore Ravens. He was one of those players that I was hoping was going to retire wearing the black and purple. Even after the Ravens cut Derrick Mason, I was hoping that they would eventually re-sign him
Some people thought cutting Mason was a good move because of his age. I’m not so sure. Mason was Flacco’s number one target at wide receiver for many years including last year. Rex Ryan, the Jets head coach, sure didn’t waste any time trying to get him to come play for the Jets. Let’s hope that losing Mason and Todd Heap doesn’t come back to hurt us. Hopefully, Flacco will build some much needed chemistry with Anquan Boldin now that Mason and Todd Heap are gone.
Derrick Mason will surely be missed by me and many other Ravens fans. He was affectionately called Old Reliable. Even though he was starting to get up in age, he was always reliable. In tribute to Derrick Mason, it is only fitting that I post a video of Derrick Mason highlights. I found the following video on YouTube, and I feel that it showcases some of the amazing things Mason did as a Baltimore Ravens player. Check it out below:
Rex Ryan was with the Baltimore Ravens organization for 10 years but did not get offered the head coaching job when it became available. It is rumored that he is still bitter about getting passed over for the position. He is also quoted as saying that he uses that experience as motivation. Despite being one of the most outspoken coaches in the NFL, Rex Ryan has done an amazing job turning around the New York Jets organization as their head coach. Rex Ryan has been recently promoting his new book which is available on Amazon.
