Testaverde Reflects On Into A Slump With Ravens
Testaverde admits he failed to provide a strong encore after a 1996 season with 4177 passing yards and 33 TDs, yet 1997 numbers dropped to 2971 yards and 18 TDs due to benching and Baltimore's shift to a running game. Some columnists suggest he or Zeler cannot lead Ravens to the playoffs and draft buzz links Peyton Manning or Ryan Leaf. Jeremy Parks, Catoctin junior varsity guard, was misidentified as Jeremy Smith in error.
