The Facts: Asked about chemistry with his new receivers, QB Joe Flacco immediately brought up Crabtree. “(He’s) the guy, because he’s got a little different way that he runs the routes. He’s really crafty with it, and he knows when to break away from guys and how to get open.”

Diehards Line:The Ravens haven’t had a high end wideout since Derrick Mason posted four 1,000-yard receiving seasons during his six-year run in Baltimore. Crabtree, 30, has two 1,000-yard seasons and another season with 922 yards. The Ravens also added receivers John Brown, who had one 1,000-yard season in four seasons in Arizona, and Willie Snead, who had seasons with 984 and 895 yards in New Orleans. The three upgrade the Ravens’ receiving corps. But it sounds like Crabtree is the man they're looking for to lead the way.
