a conditional 7th round pick, he can return kicks as well. Great move no matter how it works out...

This entire premise is incorrectly applied. See, when they do gun stats to shootngs & killings, they include those done with illegally obtained guns and by gang violence. You cannot include those stats when using stats on gun deaths such as these mass shootings. Do some states need stronger gun laws? Mandatory back ground checks? Yes, but this shooter had been through the process, so how exactly does the President or any think this could have been stopped? How do you legislate mental illness into gun laws? What constitues mental illness? An over night stay at a mental facility? No how easy it is to get some one involuntarily comitted for a 24 hour watch? Would that disqualify them from owning a gun? Do you want to pass laws limiting the number of guns a person can own? Look, bad people who want to do bad things will find a way; just look at the recent stabbings that went on around the world. Sure, less body count... Know how easy it is to build an explosive device? With parts easily obtained from the super market, hard ware store, even craft stores. It is very easy to get an illegal gun, so bad guys such as this guy, who, at this point, was perfectly sane, would still have found guns. It is a slippery slope, yes, more registration is needed where none exists, but no, you do not have a right to know I have a gun nor how many I own. Sorry....

I didn't see his hit, I think it was a shoulder though. Smith sr was speared, point of the helmet directly into the back. That is why he was so upset, some pundits thought he was mad about the hit, when he was mad about the type of hit.

If you get a chance tonight, watch this Clemson vs Notre Dame game. Will Fuller, a jr, may or may not come out next draft. But this kids has speed, quickness, great body control, good leaping ability and big, dependable hands. He will likely be ranked in the top five wide outs, could be a first rounder, but the way some of these teams draft based on optics and stats, he could slip to the 2nd if he comes out.

There should be a fine coming for that Steeler player. Spearing is never right, against the rules, and flat out piss poor cheap play. Dude is lucky he didn't crack his neck.
-
Dude can move, 4.35 or better. Has the quicks you like, career stats 88 catches, 1433 yards, 16 average per play, 4 tds, most of this catches came his rookie year. This a good move, young, hungry receiver with something to prove. He was jjust burried on the depth chart.,

Everyone give Jimmy a big THANK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

4th down, chains to his side, over time. Nothing more could prove the receiver to his side was doing a simple out route, past the sticks. Yet Smith was a mile away, playing as if it would be a double move................. -

Close in coverage? Really? If the ball had been thrown properly, it is a catch. Smith had nothing to do with it being incomplet.... Come on man,..... -
Nope, as his playing time increased in college, so too did his injuries. That, plus his size and that he is a slot guy (which means more hits) = low draft grade.
-
I agree, it is the type of quickness this team has never had at the position. The only reason I was against drafting him was because of his propensity to get hurt. He is a hard worker with a lot of talent.
-
Mike Vick was at QB, a lefty in place of a righty, the Steelers only letting him use half the field. A win is a win, but some one I see this one as a loss; they still looked like crap, offense, defense, but not special teams. Play calling, ugh, defensive strategy, oye vey.....
-
Crickets? An ugly game, but when the Ravens needed a score with 1:05 left on the game clock, Joe drove them down field for yet ANOTHER game tying drive. Crickets? When the Ravens needed a score, Joe drove them down for a game winning score....
-
Yes it was aoccring to Cris Carter and also Brown, who responded to a text from Carter after the game. Brown didn't expect it to fade down so much.

Steve Smith sr type of player, plays big, even though he is small, 5'-9" 179. Great hands, great body control, he doesn't just have quickness, he has anckle breaking jitter bug quickness. Great return man, fabulous out of the slot, on sweeps, he is a tough nutter. the last three seasons, 78, 68 and so far this year, 34 receptions. He averages just over 11 yards per catch, mostly in the catch & run style, though he des go deep from time to time. You likely missed him last night against the U, where he had 8 catches for 108 yards.... Keep an eye out this season, he would be a nice fit here in Baltimore. I thought he would have come out last year, but he decided to stay and help his team win.... http://espn.go.com/college-football/player/_/id/512086/shaq-washington

Brown is pressing too hard, we can see this by him dropping easy, uncontested passes. He normally has great hands, the knock on him had always been lack of speed/quickness and route running. He still has those issues, gets sloppy with his routes, but now his hands have gone bye-bye because he is trying to make plays, trying too hard. Fixable? Eh, some get over it, some never do-yipps... Camp has the quickness and great hands, but the issue with him is staying healthy, even in college he could not consistantly stay on the field. With him doing returns, they need to limit his time on offense. Last night should have made it clear to the team they need to bring some one in, that there is not a dependable receiver outside of Smith Sr, on this team. Aiken is too inconsistant, Waller is far too raw but a great special teams player.
-
Didn't have much to do with Smith, more so on who was throwing the ball the the net defense the Ravens ran; let them catch it and run to tackle......
-
PCL, he could be back this year, doubtful though..... So much for this being a family disease........ Ok, bring in Santana Moss, Robert Meachem, Donnie Avery........
-
36 yards rushing last game, most of the failure was on the line. They were getting blown back, rarely open lanes. How much of that is on them or on the fact they haven't focussed on it and gotten into a rythem?
-
Good question, he is quite head strong, and didn't get a lng with others too well, well, he gets along with Nestor, that should say a bunch....

No one is disputing Ozzie's record of great draft picks. I am saying the game has left him in the dust. Proof is in the past five years. It takes 3-5 years to realize a draft and here we are, save for last year. All of those players you mentioned as being drafted lately are either not on this team, busts or still waiting to see if they will pan out, in Taliafero's case. He can't stay healthy so far. Arthur Jones is a complete bust, Brown and Grubbs are on their 2nd & 3rd team collecting pay checks. McFee should have been kept because of age, talent and drive. They could have found a way to pay him. Unlike Dumervil, McFee can get his sacks against lineman and he is a force against the run too....Ngata was the smart move, his injuries are getting to him as well, he lost his consistancy. but you also have to look at free agents Ozzie has brought in, more specifically on defense; busts. Will Hill remains to be seen, but so far he has not bee the safety he should be, His speed seems to be gone, he is ok around the LOS, but lost in coverage, late in getting over, in recognizing routes. These defensive players seem to be in let them catch & tackle mode rather than breaking up passes....
-
Wes Welker is interviewing with the Giants today, he would be a nice addition for a few games............. Green Bay proved last night you don't need a deep threat to have success, Rogers passes were 90% five yards or less, catch & run. The Ravens have tried to help the line out and even the wide outs out by Joe taking five step drops for a normal three step route. The extra steps give the receivers that extra second or two to get off the line and complete their routes before the line fails and Joe gets nailed. This offense just needs some one to get open sooner, some one other than Steve Smith. Why they keep going away from the tight ends puzzles me. Why they run simple routes, easy to decipher puzzles me. Shoot, Green Bay ran the same play at the goal line 3 times in a rwo and all ended up with a touchdown. Why? Because of quickness & play design. The Ravens have no plays designed to get a match up or to get some one open; very few clear out routes, too many times having two receivers with in five yards of each other and usually when there is a short pass designed for catch & run. So either the receiver is running the wrong route ona particular play or the play design stinks.... Likely a combination of the two. I keep hearing how Tressman is a great OC, great offensive mind, yet the route combinations do not back up those words.

Brooks has long been a name mentioned as a defensive coordinator. He knows his stuff, the players love him and proof of his ability to teach is in all the different defensive lineman he turns into solid players; mostly undrafted players too boot.

It was mentioned by the broadcast crew in Sunday's Ravens game, about the only thing they said right, but that is another story......... So many flags this year, it is getting out of hand. Sometimes, they just need to let the guys play. The NFL made a big thing about the officials having head sets to help speed up the game by not having them huddle up any more to discuss a penalty. After all, a back official has to run as much as 30 yards to meet with the head official about a flag he threw. But the head sets were said to speed this up, save that "run".... Wrong, they still huddle for what seems like hours to discuss a call.. and still get it wrong......... http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/columnists/rick-gosselin/20150923-gosselin-cowboys-eagles-marred-by-theater-of-the-absurd-out-of-whack-officials.ece Wow.... and this past week end was even worse.... But there may be hope- Against Okland, the raiders and Ravens combined for 26 penalties for 215 yards.... Against the Bengals, the Ravens had 13 penalties for 116 yards (Bengals had 9 for 67 yards....)

He is playing very well, consistantly so far. His accuracy is fabulous, which was one of his issues. The other was reading defenses. I have yet to see a game of the Bills, but it appears he has conqured that issue as well.

The Bears are having a bit of a sell off, I wonder if they would move Jeffries........ Oh one could dream.........
