The Ravens’ front Steve Largent Kids Jersey office vowed to get Flacco help this offseason. Yet they didn’t sign or draft a top receiver to replace the retiring Steve Smith Sr., and they did little to solidify an offensive line that no longer has starting center Jeremy Zuttah and right tackle Rick Wagner. Through the first two months of free agency, the Ravens’ only offensive addition was veteran running back Danny Woodhead, who is essentially a replacement for versatile fullback Kyle Juszczyk. One of the lowest-ranked Paul Richardson Jersey passers in the league last year, Flacco should at least be healthy again. He rushed back from the torn left ACL and MCL he suffered in November 2015 and was on the field for the first day of training camp last July. However, Flacco never looked completely comfortable, and the lack of chemistry with several of his pass catchers was evident throughout the season. The Ravens have Nick Vannett Jersey challenged Flacco to improve his pocket presence and footwork and to go through his reads more rather than being content to dump balls off to running backs and tight ends. He’ll need better protection from an Michael Wilhoite Jersey offensive line that is unsettled beyond left tackle Ronnie Stanley and right guard Marshal Yanda. Second-year pro Alex Lewis is better suited for left guard, but the Ravens may move him to right tackle out of necessity. John Urschel and Ryan Jensen will compete for the center job.
