What is the speculation about Troy on the Ravens' forums? I'd love to see him get a shot, it's not like he wasn't playing behind NFL-sized linemen at OSU anyways. He'll give them an extra running option and a good, accurate arm.

Whether Troy could be as good as Brees, who should be second string when they bench McNair, whether the season is lost or if Boller can salvage the playoff run...

With McNair injured, Troy has been moved up to 2nd string...

Meanwhile, rookie quarterback Troy Smith -- the Heisman Trophy winner from Ohio State who was selected with the last pick of the fifth round -- will operate as the backup quarterback. "A fun challenge for Troy," Billick said. "He has to be ready. This could be real. The focus and attention he has to bring to it is heightened."

During the sports segment tonight on Channel 13 WJZ (Baltimore), Smith was featured. They showed a clip of Billick talking about Smith and how he could see some playing time this weekend against the Browns. He said it may only be a play or two, but it's a start. I'd love to see Troy get some action in a regular season game. Since we all know what kind of a QB Kyle Boller is, it might not be too far of a reach to see Troy this weekend or in the coming weeks.

This article doesn't really say much about playing time, but here you go....

McNair could miss three weeks; Boller will start vs. Browns

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick announced Tuesday that Kyle Boller will start at quarterback Sunday against the Cleveland Browns thanks to a nagging shoulder injury that has sidelined Steve McNair.
"It's a subluxation of the shoulder," Billick said of McNair's injury on his weekly radio show. "(It) basically means it keeps popping in and out. So, Kyle is starting this week."
McNair went 17-for-26 passing for 128 yards in the Ravens' 21-7 loss to the Bengals Sunday, but, according to Billick, could miss two to three weeks. For the season, 13-year pro out of Alcorn State has completed 133-of-205 pass attempts for 1,113 yards and just two touchdowns to go with four interceptions.
Boller has significant starting experience, with a 4-2 record filling in for McNair in the past two seasons, in addition to having started for Baltimore the three seasons prior to McNair's acquisition in 2006.
Rookie Troy Smith, the Heisman Trophy winner a year ago at Ohio State, will move into the backup role behind Boller for Sunday's game.

Troy was on College football live today, talking about the OSU/UM rivalry. He is still so damn humble, it's great to see. He is always well spoken. I hope after his NFL days are over he takes up some college football annalist job.
Also it's great to hear Troy is going to get some snaps in Cleveland, they love him there. In my opinion Troy is going to be battaling for the starting position next year, and you bet your ass he is going to be studying & working his ass off(like he did for his senior season at OSU) in the offseason to be ready to step up and be a leader.

It would be a shame for Troy's first plays in the NFL to be where he comes in late against an Ohio team, at Baltimore, down by 14.

How could that be a shame? yee Gods. He has waited all these years for just that, to play in the NFL. SO why would it be a shame to realize his dream.
