He will have to devise a game plan without his top receiver (Smith) and two best offensive linemen (Yanda and Stanley).With Smith likely sidelined, the Ravens should rely more on Kamar Aiken. He led Baltimore with 50 receptions last season when Smith missed the final eight games with an Achilles injury.Linebacker Elvis Dumervil has been declared out with a foot injury. The Ravens rested him this week after he lacked explosiveness the last two games. Dumervil is expected to return sometime this season, according to coach John Harbaugh.

Dowis lived in South Carolina and worked as a pharmaceutical salesman.The Air Force Academy said it was saddened to learn the news of Dowis death in a tweet posted on the football programs official Twitter page.Pound for pound, he was one of the greatest, most gifted and talented players to have played the college game, former Air Force coach Fisher DeBerry told the Colorado Springs Gazette. Everybody in America had so much respect for him. And as great a player as he was, he was even a greater friend. His life never was about himself. All he wanted in life was to give back. This is just so tragic.Dowis was a lightly recruited player from Franklin County High School in Royston, Georgia, the hometown of baseball legend Ty Cobb. A 5-foot-10, 153-pound quarterback, Dowis enrolled at the Air Force Academy after most Southern colleges passed on him because of his smaller size.Jeff Davis, Dowis high school coach, described many of his recruiting visits in an interview with the Rocky Mountain News in 1989.Id go get [Dowis] out of class, and then Id watch [recruiters] eyes when they ssaw him walk in, Davis said.dddddddddddd You could just see it in their eyes.

He ran for 1,286 yards with 18 touchdowns and passed for 1,285 with seven scores. Dowis finished sixth in Heisman Trophy voting as a senior; Houston?quarterback Andre Ware won the award.Perhaps one of his greatest compliments came from former Oklahoma?coach Barry Switzer, who once said Dowis would have started at quarterback in the Sooners vaunted wishbone offense.He was the most electrifying, dynamic and exciting football player probably in the history of service academy football, ever. And yet a better person, Air Force coach Troy Calhoun, one of Dowis teammates, told the Colorado Springs Gazette. You just knew he was going to be quite, quite accomplished no matter what he did. Hands down the nicest and most humble human being, period. ' ' '
