The play was a sneak preview into Lardarius Webb's new world.
During the Ravens' first week of organized team activity practices, Chris Matthews -- a big, tall wide receiver who would be physically tough for any defensive back to handle -- ran downfield with diminutive corner (and presumed starter) Shareece Wright in tow.
About 30 yards downfield, the ball arrived at the same spot at which the tandem did, but they had been joined by a third presence.
Webb knocked the ball away, fulfilling -- at least for one play -- the vision the coaching staff has for the eighth-year pro as he attempts to complete the conversion from cornerback to safety, which was slowly put into motion late last year.
