Around SBN: A New Era, but First Some Goodbye's Bar-right-arrows



Tommy Z Is A Raven

With the 86th pick of the draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected Notre Dame safety and punt returner Tom Zbikowski.  A lot of people have questions about Zibby's ability to cover, but as we discussed yesterday while watching the draft, a lot of people would have said that about Chinedum Ndukwe prior to his first year with the Bengals, and he excelled.  There's the potential that the Notre Dame system was just that bad that members of the secondary were just constantly placed out of position, and that with some proper coaching, Zibby will be a potent weapon for the perennially bad-ass Ravens defense.

At the very worst, the post-Brian Billick, Joe Flacco Era will have a capable punt returner to trot out there.


This was one of the happiest moments of my Notre Dame career.
