I think they are going to rue the day they skipped over Dean.

Agreed, I thought they reached for him, their claim as the BPA is hoo- hockey, there were other players both in need and talent worthy of 14 above Hamilton.

Yeah, it should be interesting to see the coverages and schemes he uses, can his play calling translate from college to pro?

Just getting the injured back in the secondary would make a huge improvement. Add in who they have plus one or two of the younger players who gained important experience last season because of the injuries and yes, this defense SHOULD, be top 15, maybe even top 10. That is a huge leap, but not an outlandish claim; the talent is there, use them wisely

It's best to work him in slowly with all of the new pieces in the secondary, counting those returning from injury and the new system. I wasn't sold on him from the draft, hope I am wrong..

The Browns will be on the hook for $46 million next year since it was not a full season suspension; ouch you get what you trade for.....

Boy, he still just does not get it. Even if he is innocent, shut up...

Man I cant wait to see this secondary in real action. I hope that they can play up to their potential. This could be the second best secondary in Ravens history, second only to the Starks, McAllister, Reed, Woodson, Harris... Good but cautious news on Lindy, take it slow...

11 games, without pay, (losing only the least amount in his contract) $5 .million... agreed upon... Watson's fine and contributions from both the NFL and Browns of $1 million each will create a fund to support nonprofit organizations in the United States "that educate young people on healthy relationships, promote education and prevention of sexual misconduct and assault, support survivors, and related causes," the NFL said in announcing the settlement. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34412381/source-cleveland-browns-qb-deshaun-watson-suspended-11-games-fined-5m-settlement-nfl-nflpa

Good to see you back Max, yes Pierce seems determined to rebuild his career. He and Jones are going to be a great run stuffing, pocket collapsing duo...

Watson now willing to accept an 8 game suspension & a $5 million fine.. hmmm

What a nice first half, Jones on the defensive line is getting a constant push on the pocket, shows he runs well too. Likely continues to shine, showing he is no just a practice hero. Stout, if he keeps this up, Koch retiring will be a distant memory

Game Day! Okay, practice game day! Make some plays, most of all stay healthy

Hear me out... yes I know the Ravens don't really have the cap room but hey, they could make room. With no one really stepping up in the middle linebacker position for, well, since Lewis left. Queen has been a big disappointment, even with the move from mike to sam. Bynes has been serviceable, but he is aging and limited. Smith is 25, a good 8 years left in his tank. He tackles very well, strong in run support, covers the middle in pass coverage very well and, he knows how to get to and take down quarterbacks for key sacks. I know, a pipe dream, but a few draft picks, maybe a player, they need tight ends, shoot, toss in Queen if need be... https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/roquan-smith-requests-trade-from-bears-ravens-broncos-among-top-potential-landing-spots-for-all-pro/

Me thinks thou doest protest too much about Lindy...

Someone keep this guy away from the bar. It wasn't windy today so of course Hill ran well...

Good news about JK, this team could use it

Outstanding, not just a great kicker but a great teammate as well, a true Raven.

Well his career is over before it starts. Those things are like hamstrings, once you pop it, ya never know when it will go again...especially on linemen

I'm looking forward to seeing him and Pearce lined up inside, they should both get some play Thursday. See what type of push they can get on the pocket. Also, I know Lindy won't be playing center, but we should get a good look at some of the others. Wide out, Likely as I said earlier are others that intrigue me in this game

Yeah, Likely should play, get to see him "likely" to get a lot of passes his way, see how his speed and quickness affects the defense from the tight end position...

I think so, but then he talks so much but rarely says anything so I don't listen any more. Yeah, first step to seeing how this secondary of Peters, Humphreys, Williams, Fuller work together. I doubt any of them play this game but knowing they are waiting in the wings.... booya!

Safety has been a big need for a while, a major reason this defense has struggled. Now it is still early, some players just need to settle in. The biggest issue out side of health, is are they picking up the coverages, the system. He is being beat man to man, because of a lack of speed? Maybe, or maybe he is making the wrong read of the offense at the snap, causing a slight delay in reaction time. We, fans just do not, cannot know, and the local "analysts" who are there every day fail to say or fail to understand so they just report that he got burned on x amount of plays. Yes, the line is a big issue, left tackle, guard, even center are true problem areas. First pre season game next week, a good taste for a lot of players

I will hold my tongue in Hamilton, well, only as much to say I tried to warn you all on draft day while all of the talking heads were calling him a steal..... Hope he isn't injured, only hurt...

NFL has chosen to appeal, this ain't over yet folks
