The Baltimore Ravens veterans have reported for training camp, and defender Terrell Suggs has some ideas about how quarterback Joe Flacco can continue to improve and lead the offense.

Flacco has always been for being a laid back guy, but Suggs wants to see Flacco get after his teammates more and become a vocal leader.

Even if that means cussing out his teammates, Suggs thinks some passion from Flacco would be good for the franchise.

“Joe is just ‘Cool Joe,’” Suggs said, via the team’s official website. “Most of the time he’s not the most vocal. But sometimes we may need that. He may have to cuss somebody out. He may have to cuss me out. It’s good to hear your quarterback get after somebody sometimes. I think it will be a good thing.”

Suggs added that Flacco has had moments of passion before, but he wants to see the quarterback take more control and be more direct.

“He has cussed me out before, but Joe knows how to do his little subliminal slick shots,” Suggs said. “We’re looking for a little bit more direct. . . . I’ve said it from the jump: We have a lot of leaders on this team. I’m really looking forward to seeing Joe Flacco come into his own. Be one of those premier, elite quarterbacks and talk to his team. We’re definitely going to stand behind Joe, stand behind Haloti [Ngata] and hopefully they all stand behind me.”

Those are some interesting comments from the Ravens linebacker, and you have to wonder whether or not that is something more members of the Ravens roster believe.

If there are players who feel Flacco is not demanding enough control of the offense, perhaps that could be holding them back.
