    Dissapointed with his role as the Baltimore Ravens' third receiver, former Pro Bowl wide receiver T.J. Houshamandzadeh grew accustomed to being a featured downfield target with his previous NFL employers. With the Ravens, though, Houshmandzadeh has been relegated to a complementary role where he's not the first option on passing plays. Consequently, he ranks sixth on the team in receptions with nine catches for 128 yards and one touchdown. Wide receivers Anquan Boldin and Derrick Mason are the established starters, and tight end Todd Heap is heavily involved as well as running back Ray Rice out of the backfield. “I think it’s an adjustment for me," Houshmandzadeh told National Football today at the Ravens' training complex. "Todd, Anquan, Mason, they’re getting what I assume they would normally get. It’s an adjustment for me. It’s like I’m the newest one here. "I didn’t think it would be like this, but it is. As long as you win, but you always want more. You just practice hard and hopefully things will continue the way it is with us winning and you can get more involved. That’s all you can do.†Barring an injury to Boldin (38 receptions, 518 yards, five touchdowns) or Mason (26 receptions, 357 yards, one score) Houshmandzadeh is unlikely to have his duties expand.

    I don't think anyone really gives a crap. Maybe if he needs more to do, he can help the water boy.
