If the Ravens Offense can do it, so can Mike Preston

Dear Baltimore Sun Ravens Beat Reporter Mike Preston:

Sure, it's only one game, so it doesn't indicate a trend or anything, but...when I go back through the archive of articles you've written and I read how you've repeatedly denigrated Brian Billick's reputed offensive abilities, it just doesn't add up.

You've been assuming in a lot of your writings that he's been the major force behind the Raven's offense, and that obviously was not true. The Offense we saw on Sunday was night and day compared to what we witnessed under Cavanaugh and Fassel.

So why the disparity between your "know-it-all" observations and the reality of Sunday? I don't think you, or your Sun counterparts do enough homework. Your assumptions are clearly off the mark. You need to spend more time understanding the team and it's dynamics, so you can accurately report to us, your readers, what is actually going on within the organization.

Oh, and a little something I learned in my Journalism classes at Towson State was that above all, a journalist must be OBJECTIVE. You slept through that class. Do your readers a service and leave your bitter bias in your closet at home and bring some informed objectivity to your reporting.

Sunday MAY have shown signs that the Ravens do indeed have great offensive potential, but it DEFINITELY revealed your inadequacies as a reporter. You need to stop lobbying Steve Bisciotti for Billick's job and instead focus on becoming the good reporter that I know lurks inside of you.
