Did everybody forget about our Super Bowl hangover but me? Matt Birk finally retired and our next up & coming center Gino Gradkowski stepped in front of Joe Flacco... and fell repeatedly into Flacco after being bullied by D-lineman every game. Gradkowski was the 35th ranked center in the NFL that year. That means all 31 other teams had a better center, and 3 back-ups were ranked higher. We watched as our star runningback put up his lowest totals ever, and back-up Bernard Pierce almost set the worst YPC record in the Super-Bowl era.
