Some sports name three stars of the game after the game. I'll do that one better: I'm going to name them before the Ravens even play. These will be the three stars of the game when the Ravens try to open their win account Sunday at the 0-1 Oakland Raiders.
1. Wide receiver Marlon Brown
Kamar Aiken won the second wide receiver job with his consistency throughout training camp and preseason, but through the preseason and last weekend, the Ravens seem more comfortable taking deep shots with Brown.
The third-year wide receiver is two years removed from a breakout seven-touchdown rookie campaign, but was marginalized last year.
