TRADE REQUEST ADDRESSED: Backup quarterback Troy Smith addressed his agent going public via his Twitter account about issuing a trade request to general manager Ozzie Newsome earlier this week.

"What Ralph tweeted is what Ralph tweeted," Smith said. "I ain't got no control over that. My focus is on Oakland and getting ready to go to the playoffs and beating Oakland and trying to go to the Super Bowl."

Smith reiterated that he wants to be a starter, not a perennial backup to starter Joe Flacco.

"No doubt, that's exactly what I want," he said. "At the same time, your learning process as a quarterback, I've had a good opportunity to learn with Joe. My time will come."

Of course, the timing of Smith's request didn't sit well with fans or the organization.

Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron declined to discuss the situation.

"Now is probably not the time to discuss that," he said. "Some time down the road we can talk about that."

A backup QB wants to be starter in the NFL, can't do it at the team he's on because of an established starter, and wants to be traded?

This is shocking, shocking stuff.

One week before the final game of the year, with playoff implications, the timing is horrible. Can't blame the Ravens fan/coaches for being upset.
