"I definitely call it coming home," said Sims-Walker, who caught 11 passes for 139 yards in four games with the Rams. "This is the place that drafted me. This is a place that put a lot of trust in me and believed in me for so long. We had some good times and bad times, but at the end of the day, we miss each other. No question about it." jaguars.com http://bit.ly/oKxrel
"The Jaguars had a good idea what they were getting with the addition of fifth-year linebacker Paul Posluszny, but he might have exceeded the expectations. What do the numbers 14, 12, 16, 15 and 19 mean? Those are Posluszny's tackle totals in the last five games." jaguars.com http://bit.ly/qHewUx
"With Austen Lane now out for the year, the door is open for Chick, and I expect to see production from the pass-rusher." ESPN.com http://es.pn/pAC1Aa

Scouting the opponent
"He is doing things that are just indescribable. I think he is the greatest linebacker who has ever played the game – I have said it many times. I think he proves it. You look at his [16th] year, he is playing as well as he had ever played, or at least that I have seen in the four years that I have been here. I am not sure that he has ever played any better than this. What kind of statement is that? It's a big statement." BaltimoreRavens.com http://bit.ly/oQgA2K
"After slumping to a franchise-worst 27 sacks last season, the Ravens already have 15 sacks through five games and are on pace to record 48 sacks for the season. They rank eighth in the NFL in sacks per pass play." Carroll County Times http://bit.ly/nJMXEX

"The Ravens ended up kicking five field goals, but Cameron had little to do with their lack of success inside the red zone. In fact, the Ravens were two of four inside the 20 yard line as far as scoring touchdowns." The Baltimore Sun http://bsun.md/nZ3gMt
"Check out this stat line the rookie defensive end has put up so far this season: two sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and one pass defended. Not too shabby for a fifth-round pick." MASNsports.com http://bit.ly/ozQEAB
"The Ravens' No. 3 wide receiver spot may be up for grabs soon." BaltimoreRavens.com http://bit.ly/psEISC

The last word
"He's a good blocker, he remains a good blocker. I think he's got a chance to be a good player overall and I think last year he played as one of the more dominant players at his position in the league. We just haven't quite got him going this year the way we were able to get him going last year and maintain it. That's something we're aware of, we're trying to get it going."
