Jacoby Jones: A Baltimore Ravens Legend

Jacoby Jones breaks one in Superbowl XLVII against the 49ers

Sadly, the Baltimore Ravens have lost another legend. On July 14, 2024, at the young age of 40, Jacoby Jones, a former wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans, passed away in his sleep at his Missouri City home. The cause of death is yet unknown.

The 2 Jacoby Jones plays that I will never forget are his kick off return for a TD in the Superbowl and the bomb that he caught from Joe Flacco in the AFC Championship game helping the Ravens advance to the Superbowl that same year. He surely will be missed.

Jacoby Jones has his ring so haters can hate all they want!

This Jacoby Jones moment might be one of my favourite in recent draft history. #RavensFlock

Ravens Fall to Colts

The Ravens defense played well. The offense sucked! Turnovers killed the Baltimore Ravens. The first half of the Ravens vs Colts game reminded me of the first half of the Ravens vs Bengals game.

Too many stupid penalties and too many turnovers was the bottom line. Steve Smith Sr. fumbled early. Joe Flacco threw an interception and Jacoby Jones had a bonehead turnover during a return.

Wide receivers Steve Smith Sr. and Torrey Smith were basically shut down and non-existent. Joe Flacco did not throw any TD passes. Forsett ran well and scored the only Ravens TD but did not get enough touches and the defense got no rest at all.

Final Score: Ravens 13 Colts 20

Ed Reed is Out and Michael Huff is In

I was really sad when I found out that Ed Reed was going to be playing for the Houston Texans. This was shocking news especially since it has been less than two months since Ed Reed's speech at the Ravens parade. I guess it is only fair that the Texans take one of our good players seeing that we got Bernard Pollard, Vonta Leach, and Jacoby Jones from them. The pain of losing Ed Reed was eased a little bit when I heard the news that we acquired safety Michael Huff from the Oakland Raiders.

Michael Huff will probably never be another Ed Reed but he is a better cover guy than Bernard Pollard and is he very physical. He is also very versatile and can play both strong and free safety positions as well as cornerback. Combine this free agency signing with that of Elvis Dumervil and it looks like the Baltimore Ravens will be back in business in 2013. Michael Huff's NFL career stats
