Word on the Street: A Baltimore Sports Short Podcast

Cam Newton is a terrific athlete, involved in his community and should be the NFL MVP. Yet there's a lot of hate aimed his way. It's a generational thing.

For years Baltimore fans have despised John Elway. But ESPN's "Elway to Marino" sheds new light on the 1983 NFL Draft that should at least in part exonerate the Broncos legend.

During Part III the hosts discuss the influence of John Harbaugh in the Ravens war room, pending Ravens free agents and Super Bowl 50. Who will win?

During Part II of the Russell Street Report on The Coach's Buzz the hosts discuss the Senior Bowl and the changing dynamics of the Baltimore Ravens war room.

During Part I of the Russell Street Report on The Coach's Buzz the group discussed John Elway, the declining value of the Pro Bowl, scab players and the Broncos' Von Miller and his pending free agent status.

With a still questionable receiving corps and a quarterback coming off ACL surgery this season, it is critical for the Ravens running game to get back on track in 2016.

The Ravens look to strengthen their roster this offseason through free agency and the NFL Draft. Where might they start?

The Pro Bowl is a joke. It’s about as interesting as a college basketball game in November. Roger Goodell thought he could put lipstick on the NFL’s pig.

As talented as Justin Tucker is in life and on the football field, could you imagine him playing another position? Like say defensive tackle?

In 2003 some had Terrell Suggs as the No. 1 pick but a slow 40-time sent him down draft boards. Could the Ravens benefit from a similar slide by Joey Bosa?

There was a time when the owners had empathy for communities and moving a franchise was akin to a Catholic cursing the Pope. Not any more! Today if it adds to the league’s bottom line, Roger Goodell will do it without remorse. No holds barred.

The Ravens need a pass rusher and one of the best in the business will be an unrestricted free agent in 2016. Could it be Miller time in Baltimore?

Two of the most heartbreaking defeats in Ravens history may have cost them two more trips to the Super Bowl.

There are two words that tell the story of why I can never root for the Denver Broncos: John Elway.

The Baltimore Ravens struggled in 2015 and part of the problem has been the lack of playmakers that the team has produced in the NFL Draft during recent years. Should we continue to have blind faith in Ozzie Newsome? For the Ravens and their fans is it still, "In Ozzie We Trust"?

Eric DeCosta will undoubtedly be an NFL GM one day. If he’s patient that job will be in Baltimore. But how long will his patience last? Almost like clockwork, every January DeCosta’s name is bantered about as a GM candidate for a team or three. This year his name has been most often pegged to the Tennessee Titans. That’s unlikely to wear his patience thin. But I here's what might...

On Thursday The State of The Ravens presser is scheduled for 2 PM and the featured speakers will be Messrs. Bisciotti, Harbaugh, Newsome and Cass. The presser will generate much interest because as we’ve seen in the past, owner Steve Bisciotti takes to a losing season like a vampire takes to a beach in the Caribbean.

During the second segment of the Rain-X Russell Street Report Tony Lombardi discussed with The Coach's Buzz panel the Ravens receiving corps and the future of Eugene Monroe.

In Part I of the Rain-X Russell Street Report Tony Lombardi discusses Ryan Mallett's performance against the Steelers, the development of Buck Allen and yet another blown call by the game officials.

In Part II of the Rain-X Russell Street Report on The Coach's Buzz we chat with Ravens defensive tackle Brandon Williams about the team's approach for the balance of the 2015 season, what is on the big DT's Christmas dinner menu, the Odell Beckham, Jr. debacle and more.

Part I of the Rain-X Russell Street Report on The Coach's Buzz included discussions about the Ravens 34-14 loss to the Chiefs...it wasn't as bad as the score and we compare the upcoming game against the Steelers to a very memorable game from a very forgettable 2007 season.

The Ravens have never done a good job of re-signing players they like before they hit the open market. Once they get to market they are usually gone, save Monroe, much to the dismay of many. Will Kelechi Osemele be the next?

Has the John Harbaugh doghouse made a comeback?

We all know who and what Matt Schaub is. We don’t know if he’ll return in 2016 and the Ravens do have two other potential backups to Joe Flacco next season in the forms of Jimmy Clausen and newly signed Ryan Mallett. So why play him anymore in 2015?

If the NFL is serious about player safety they should make it mandatory to play on grass fields and not for the reasons you think.
