BALTIMORE (Nov. 7, 2005) -- Kyle Boller will reclaim his job as the Baltimore Ravens' starting quarterback in Week 10, hopeful he can revive the team's lackluster offense after missing seven games with a toe injury. Boller hasn't played since hyperextending his right big toe in the season opener against Indianapolis. He was replaced by Anthony Wright, who produced only two wins and will serve as the backup against Jacksonville. "Kyle Boller is our starting quarterback, and we weren't going to change that perspective after ... he got hurt," Ravens coach Brian Billick said. "We have said all along, at the appropriate time, when he is healthy, we would go back to him as our starting quarterback. We're committed to his development, committed to him being the guy. We have no reason to think that Kyle Boller isn't the quarterback we all thought he could be." Boller struggled at times during his first two seasons in the league, but this year was supposed to be different. Baltimore promoted Jim Fassel to offensive coordinator, hired Rick Neuheisel as quarterbacks coach and added wide receivers Derrick Mason and Mark Clayton in an effort to improve the passing game. The plan went awry when Boller got injured and Baltimore is 2-6. But now he's back, eager to bolster an offense that has scored only seven touchdowns in eight games and was held to three field goals in a 21-9 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. "All I can do is go out there and work. It's about being efficient, getting the ball in the end zone, scoring points, not turning the ball over," Boller said. "You do those things and you're going to have a chance to win. That's what I'm looking forward to, getting out there with my guys. "It's been hard sitting and watching. The opportunity has come. I'm glad it's here and I'm going to hopefully take advantage of it."
Im hoping Derrick Mason will finally get me some touchdowns in fantasy now, especially since Keenan McCardell is on bye this week.

I think he'll do alot better than Anthony Wright tho...
look for heap to get a lot more looks.....boller has a strong connection with him unlike wright who couldnt seem to figure out heap is a playmaker. boller didnt even get a full games work this year, im still interested to see how he plays with mason and clayton....though im not expecting that much. his contract is up this year so im sure he will be bringing his "A" game

I'm glad to see he's back I think Boller will make 1 hell of a difference. But I'm gonna have to give it to Wright, he didn't play as badly as I expected, especially in the Steelers game he was doing really well. With Boller back in the system expect them to start winning some more games.
