Baltimore Ravens Training Camp: Flacco, Boldin Creating Good Chemistry

Today, training camp started up again for the Baltimore Ravens around 8.45 A.M.

The talk of this year's camp has been the offense thus far, and with three days before the first preseason game, the Ravens have only improved from where they started.

The highlight of today's morning session? A 50-yard bomb from quarterback Joe Flacco to newly acquired receiver Anquan Boldin.

But, this wasn't the first touchdown throw from Flacco to Boldin.

This has been a constant theme since Boldin arrived in Baltimore in March. From the first time they met face-to-face in a flag football charity event, to working in training camp, the two have created a good football relationship on and off the field.

It doesn't seem as if they are just teammates on Sundays. Instead, they have become good friends through the offseason, and it is showing in the early weeks of camp. Basically, Flacco and Boldin have chemistry has been.

They are becoming aware of their strengths, and what needs to be improved on in the month of August.

In fact, both of them are proving their doubters wrong. Boldin faced a lot of flack this offseason since his trade to Baltimore. Questions arose about his ability to be a No. 1, staying healthy for a full 16 games, and being a deep threat.

Thus far in camp, he has certainly proved his ability to be a top receiver for the Ravens.

Throughout his career, Boldin has been deadly in the short yardage game, moving the chains and picking up chunks of yards in third and long situations.

However, we have seen Boldin at full strength this offseason, which has propelled him in deep threat situations, fitting into Flacco's kind of play.

We also can't ignore the stock improving on Derrick Mason, Ray Rice, and Donte' Stallworth. It may not be what fantasy owners want to hear, but the ball is going to be spread around quite a bit, and Boldin continues to open up the offense.

It may only be the preseason, but Flacco and Boldin seem to be connecting on all ends, and looking to put together one of the best quarterback-receiver tandems in the league this year.
