cravnravn Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'm within 10 miles of UCF, I seen a good bit of him last year, loved the size and speed of him, wasn't surprised he went in the first round was surprised it was us that took him.

TBird Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Most fans were surprised and some are still upset. A guy on one board has a tag line that says the Ravens are going to walk allover my dead body and draft Perriman on the first round. Kiper ranked him as 15th best player in draft and Ozzie had him as 17th player. Ozzie said there was no other player he wantedin the first round at that point and would have traded out if he was gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thundercleetz Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Even if Perriman never lives up to his potential, I would much rather take a risk on a guy with his physical tools and talents than a "safe" WR like Mark Clayton. We've tried the safe approach many times at WR and it hasn't worked out. We needed to take this sort of risk on an elite talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, at least he can catch, unlike another wide out with size & speed who everyone in the world except for Ozzie and Crav knew couldn't catch an elephant.

thundercleetz Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 RSR is bringing attention to how serious Perriman's knee condition he had growing up can be in relation to durability and recovery. Spoiler, you don't really outgrow the knee condition: @RussellStReport: This was posted on our Facebook page in response to the article on Perriman: http://t.co/ClVkw31Gq2http://t.co/o7mJ9T5Gjl @rwags614: .@RussellStReport I also dealt with it growing up and it has led to myriad knee problems as an adult inc two non-contact ligament injuries.

TBird Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 After killing the Giants in SB 35, I wouldn't take stock in what their fanssay about the Ravens picks. They're probably happy the guyis injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBird Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well, think of the bright side guys. I just got banned from Russell Street Report (again) and from my last bar in Bel Airin the same month. I'm now out of bars in Bel Air to go to. I was banned from Half Pintsfor roughing up Squeelers fans and those wussies complained and now on Main Streetbecause of a fight overa married woman half my age and I can still throw half the guys out of bars and thatis really truly the bright side of it -lol.

tsylvester Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Consider the source of the Russel st report, it is an opinion, nothing factual. Hudreds of thousands of people have this disease, my older brother had it growing up. Many, many professional athletes had/have this disease, especially NBA players. Now is it true or another "fact" made up by them? I should note, while my older brother had, my father had, neither my grandfather, I, my other older brother nor three sisters had it, nor any of my cousins 12 deep there. An MRI which he had during the vetting process at the combine would have picked this up, it is pretty clear on the image, the long bone of the lower leg would be longer; it is obvious. So even IF this were true, the team would have know about it prior, and, he never missed a game in college due to this, so, much ado about nothing at this point.

My point was until I hear it out of 1 winning Dr, I'm not going to believe the Russel st report, if this OS disease is that he has then why wouldn't the ravens have commented on it?

Oh I agree, thus my statement, IF it is true. We know the track record over there with their insider info. Maybe the Ravens don't want to address it is because it would put egg on their face for picking him even knowing he had it, ala picking some one with Spinal Stenosis, another injury most athletes have or anyone who has ever fallen on their butt or fallen on top of their head causing cervical stenosis.... They don't end careers but will lead to nagging pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you believe? The report about his PCL sprain came out on the 20th of August. I found it simply using google the other day. Why any "sports" reporter who guessed it might be a childhood disease couldn't find it, who knows (he is getting killed on his own site over his "article"). As for Williams, he was dinged up each of the first two games so they held him out. They know what he can do and what to expect from him, they wanted to see how the otehr two did; we have a manimal at tight end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
