On the upswing
Baltimore Ravens practice entertainment value: After spending last Thursday at Ravens practice, I propose a game for any fan showing up to Owings Mills in the next few weeks: Count how many formations the Ravens show in a given practice. Better yet: Try to find consecutive plays where they line up in the same formation at all. The dizzying variety in Greg Roman’s running game -- and the passing-game options that emerge from it -- has new Ravens lead back Mark Ingram fired up.
