I was going through some old pictures earlier today and came across this, from almost a decade ago now, back in training camp 2004, getting my jersey signed by Ed Reed. Please ignore the hair as I was young and dumb lol. Thought I had lost this pic but have the jersey framed, so glad I found it.
This is good for a laugh, the Ravens have six guys leading their positions in AFC Pro Bowl voting...
Ed Reed, who hasn't played at his usual high level but given his name recognition, of course he's there.
Haloti Ngata, same as Reed.
Vontae Leach, deservedly so.
Jacoby Jones, deservedly so.
Bernard Pollard, who has been solid but not spectacular, not sure where this one came from, to be honest.
and...here's the funny part...
Cary Williams.
Yes, Cary Williams is the leading vote getter at CB in the AFC, which proves once again, without a shadow of a doubt, that the Pro Bowl is a total joke.
Cary leads CB's cuz he has lead the AFC in INT's and when people look at corners that's all they care about. Even if he's thrown at probably the most in the entire NFL, because Ladarius locked down the other side of the field...
Cary Williams shows some flashes and makes some good plays (one that comes to mind is the INT against Cleveland). But opposing teams throw his way because he's not fast enough to react (IMO). I don't know how many times I've yelled at the TV on 3rd down, when Carys playing 10 yards off on a 3rd and 5.
Ed is still playing at a high level, it took him 1 game to INT a pass and take it to the house. Bernard lays the wood and is always on ESPN/Fox Highlights because of it, not to mention he leads our team in tackles and probably all safetys in tackles for that matter. Ngata gets in on his name, but to say he's having a mediocre season is insane. Stat wise this could be his best season. He has 40 tackles and 4 sacks already in 10 games, his career high in sacks is 5, so he'll pass that. His career high in tackles is 64, So he has 6 games to get 24 tackles... Vontae is arguably the best FB in a league where FB's are dying out. Jacoby is the best KR in the NFL and if he can handle his possession issues (which thus far he has seemed to do) he could potentially be a game changer every Sunday.
There are 3 players that I believe will also make it for sure....
Ray Rice - 1200 yds already on the season and 7 tds.
Michael Oher - His name no doubt, but Oher has turned around his ways of false starting and is turning into a fairly decent pass blocker.
Marshal Yanda - Yanda is slowly becoming one of the most popular guards in the NFL.
Defense held on as long as they could, force a few 3 and outs early and offense just did nothing. Still believe Cameron needed to go, but the offensive line is a sieve. Michael Oher is a total bust. They've missed pretty badly on their last two first round picks, Oher and J Smith. Smith was benched again today after he stunk up the joint. Between being hurt and being awful, terrible pick. I think Oher is "ok" at RT but Harbaugh refuses to play McKinnie for whatever reason.
Oher is a mauler, you've got to put him at right tackle. I have no idea why he is protecting the blindside at all, just a bad coaching decision on that part.
Ravens did secure the division and their fifth consecutive year in the playoffs, but if I'm one of your fans, I am definitely concerned about this team heading there.

We didn't secure the division. We only clinched a playoff spot. The Bengals still have a chance at taking the division.
