Ravens' Ability To Stretch Opposing Defenses Again Is 'Huge'

When Joe Flacco returns to the football field, he’ll have some track stars by his side to test whether his arm is up to snuff.

Veteran speedster Mike Wallace and last year’s first-round pick Breshad Perriman will give Flacco and the Ravens some big-play threats to stretch opposing defenses, which is exactly what they needed during last year’s difficult season.

The injection of speed was a focus for the Ravens this offseason, and Head Coach John Harbaugh is “very hopeful” that signing Wallace and getting Perriman healthy will change the way defenses approach the Ravens offense.
