The preseason opener showed the Ravens may have a fountain of youth.
In a 22-19 win against the visiting NFC champion Carolina Panthers Aug. 11, the team got solid performances from many of their young players and little-known backups.
The announced crowd of 70,682 fans didn't seem fully engaged, but if the likes of Zachary Orr, Matt Judon, Terrance West, Kenneth Dixon -- among others -- contribute in September as much as they have in August, this team could be deeper than anyone had a right to expect.
It could serve them well should another injury-filled season be in the offing, yet head coach John Harbaugh didn't seem fully satisfied.
