    Chris Chester didn't like losing his starting job last season, so the Ravens' veteran right guard made the decision to get a little bigger and a little stronger this summer. Chester said he's added about seven pounds to his 6-foot-3 frame -- pushing him over 320 pounds -- through his workout routine. "I've added good weight and new muscle," he said during this week's passing game. After starting the first 10 games of the 2009 season, he was replaced at right guard by Marshall Yanda and played most of the rest of the season as a second tight end in the team's two tight end offense. "I disagree with the change that was made," Chester said. "I wanted to play every play, every snap, on offense. But at the same time, I also knew that there was still an opportunity for me to help the team. At that point in time, helping the team was most important. ... so there's definitely a conflict of interest there."
