Miami Dolphins 22, Baltimore Ravens 16 in OT
The Baltimore Ravens gave the Dolphins a nice gift for Christmas…….their first win of the season! Kyle Boller didn’t have his best game as he completed 10 of 19 passes for 159 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. Troy Smith also got to play some and he was 5 for 11 for 49 yards. Willis McGahee had a solid game as he carried the ball 29 times for 104 yards (3.6 ypc). Derrick Mason led the way in the passing game for the Ravens with 4 catches for 45 yards (11.3 avg) with a TD grab. The Ravens finished up the game with 163 yards on 36 carries (4.5 ypc) and he also completed 15 of 30 passes for 182 yards.
The Ravens defense was stout against the run but they couldn’t stop the Dolphins’ passing game. Kelly Gregg (11 tackles, sack) and Bart Scott (8 tackles) led the way for the Ravens Defense in this game. The Dolphins finished up with 72 yards rushing on 29 carries (2.5 ypc) and they also completed 23 of 39 passes for 288 yards.

Anyone think Andre will be drafted by the Ravens?
I read this on a Andre Woodson site.
There are rumors swirling that the Ravens may lose franchise left OT Jonathan Ogden to retirement. If that happens, it’s possible that the Ravens may look to the draft to add a high-end tackle, though they landed Maryland OT Jared Gaither in the 2007 Supplemental Draft, and if he has developed as they hoped he would, it’s possible that Gaither may be starting at left offensive tackle in 2008.
The Ravens only have one major free agent to be in Terrell Suggs. They could go with a linebacker here, since in this mock the big names (Dan Connor, James Laurinaitis, etc.) would all be on the board. But, with the Ravens having so much difficulty performing on offense, and Steve McNair turning 35 this upcoming February, a quarterback like Woodson would be a great addition to the team. Brian Brohm would be a consideration here as well, but I’d think that Woodson would get the nod over Brohm with his pinpoint accuracy. We shall see.
Kyle Boller played a great game against the Patriots two weeks ago, but he came off of that game with a three interception debacle against Indianapolis on Sunday night. I strongly suspect that Boller will not be in the team’s long-term future.
An “X Factor” is the presence of Troy Smith on the roster, and how the team evaluates his development will also play a role in what they do in this spot.
Is this possible? I think he would be great for the Ravens.
