More Ravens Passing Camp Photos

After spending the day at the Baltimore Ravens Practice Facility, located at aptly named One Winning Drive, I thought I'd post a bunch of photos I took while observing the two hour practice. While it was labeled as Passing Camp, there still was enough of running plays and special teams drills to round out the day. While it was my first live visit to "The Castle" it was impressive to see all the players hustling on every play, with loud encouragement from all the coaches throughout the practice. While I realize many of the younger players were trying to impress or fighting for roster spots, the veterans in camp didn't seem to take any plays off and ended the session dripping with sweat, as it was the hottest day of mini-camps since they started tis spring, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
So here is a photo to whet your appetite and make the "Jump" to see more:

He’s wearing a freaking sweatshirt. Apparently, because he trains on his own in Denver, he likes to sweat when he comes to Baltimore.

Water covers 2/3 of the Earth's surface. Ed Reed covers the rest.

Yes, yes he is
and he was sweating like crazy afterwards. He is a workout maniac and most of the younger kids couldn’t keep up w/ him. He and Ray have sick off season workout regimens. He even sid in the locker room that no offense to anyone, but he is sort of bored in camp, as his workout routine is so much harder than anything the team puts him through!

Great pics.
Foxworth looks bigger, he is listed at 180, but i wouldn’t be suprised if he was in the high 180s, or low 190s.
P.S i though 71 was Gaither…lol

I can't remember, but...
…that is one of our undrafted free agents who must have just steeped in to help, as the team was practicing a different day this week for our divisional opponents, and Tuesday was the Cleveland Browns “day.” (<—-Let the jokes begin!). This guy was emulating (more jokes) Braylon Edwards.

landry’s arms are sick. LB arms. i’d hate to get closelined by those pipes. i’d like to have Oher next to Webb so i can get a better perspective of his enormousy.

just found out that the “kenyon runner” in the gregg photo is actually that Jamaican sprinter- Bolt. that would be interesting.

hah, Bolt was 6'5"
and would be smiling, with a spleef dangling!

Nice job Rexx
It’s nice getting a fan’s perspective of what OTA’s are like, and how overwhelming it must be the first time you venture into the castle grounds. Your experience is probably not much different that a Ravens rookie. A lot to try to soak in. Nice job!

Except, I get to leave w/o any bruises
and don’t have to embarass myself walking around the locker room naked next to those guys!

Staying close to the warden Andy and not locking yourself in his office playing opera on the castle p.a system?

rexx- you made Espn. While Flacco and Mason where having an interview with ESPN in the background, ESPN’S camera caught your gang with Harbaugh behind them. Your in there somewhere….I like how the sea parted so you could get your harbaugh pic.

I made the big time!?
Top o’ the world, ma!
For the harbaugh pic, I lifted my “staff” and the sea of reporters parted. You would move if you saw my “staff” as wel. (HA! Beat you all to the joke!)
