  1. Well, Jackson was almost 100 pts lower in batting average over the games they lost and gave up an exorbitant amount of tripples in those games as well.

    He even reportedly confessed to the gran jury that he threw those games.

    In the games they won he was out of this world in average and fielding, so, the evidence is up to the reader I guess.

  2. Yeah with food that your system is either not used to or cooked in a way that does not agree with your tummy tum tum. I am just not a fab of those across the pond, out of the country games. They do little to actually bring the fans over to the NFL, aside from game monies. Allowing those fans to watch on the tele would give the league more money and less risk to the players.

  3. Not a bad read, Simmons would be my 1st choice, Rodney McCloud would be a close 2nd


    Potential Solutions After Ar'Darius Washington's Reported Injury


    The Ravens were hit with some unfortunate injury news Tuesday night, as safety Ar'Darius Washington reportedly suffered a torn Achilles during conditioning.

    With the injury expected to sideline Washington for most or all of the season, pundits looked at how the Ravens will compensate for the 2024 breakout star.

    "With Washington sidelined, the Ravens could look in-house or to the free-agent market for help," The Baltimore Banner’s Jonas Shaffer wrote. "Safeties Beau Brade and Sanoussi Kane contributed primarily on special teams as rookies, but they could take a step forward in Year 2 under the tutelage of first-year Senior Secondary Coach Chuck Pagano. The Ravens could also bring in Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon or Jordan Whitehead on a one-year, prove-it deal, as they did with Eddie Jackson last season."

    "Locked on Ravens" podcast host Kevin Oestreicher listed additional veteran safeties who are available, including former Raven Chuck Clark.



    Top available free agent safety options for the Ravens to replace Ar'Darius Washington

    - Justin Simmons
    - Julian Blackmon
    - Jordan Whitehead
    - Quandre Diggs
    - Jordan Poyer
    - Marcus Williams
    - Chuck Clark
    - K'Von Wallace
    - Marcus Maye
    - Vonn Bell
    - Rodney McCleod

  4. Trouble brewing? I would love him on the Ravens, which will never happen, so send him to Seattle where he can't kill the Ravens twice a season.

     

    The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t holding up their end at the bargaining table, according to Trey Hendrickson.

    The star edge rusher has seen his already ugly contract negotiations with the team come to a resounding halt, and the 30-year-old called out Bengals brass on Monday.

    “No communication has taken place between my camp and the organization post draft,” Hendrickson said in a statement to ESPN.

    The offers prior to the draft did not reflect the vision we shared and were promised last offseason if I continued to play at a high level. Coaches are aware of these past conversations. Rather than using collaboration to get us to a point to bring me home to the team, THEY are no longer communicating. I have been eagerly awaiting a resolution of this situation, but that’s hard to do when there is no discussion and an evident lack of interest in reaching mutual goals.”

    Hendrickson is entering the final year of his deal with the team — a four-year, $60 million contract inked as a free agent in 2021, with the FAU product requesting a trade last season when he sought a new deal.

  5. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tyler-loop-rhythm-rookie-minicamp-john-harbaugh-justin-tucker


    The sound of Tyler Loop kicking a football is now a part of Ravens practices, perhaps for years to come.

    Head Coach John Harbaugh, who had never seen Loop kick in person before the draft, liked what he saw and heard at rookie minicamp.

    "It was good to see it. It was good to hear it," Harbaugh said. "I think as much as anything, it's good to hear a kicker, and the way the ball comes off his foot is impressive."

    Loop impressed the Ravens enough to select him in the sixth round, the first kicker drafted in franchise history. He's under the microscope even more after the release of Justin Tucker on Monday, but performing under pressure is part of any successful NFL kicker's DNA.

    Loop sounded prepared to handle expectations during his post-draft zoom press conference. He had a hunch the Ravens might draft him after meeting with Senior Special Teams Coach Randy Brown at the NFL kicker's dna.

    "We got to chat a bunch and got to exchange film and just talk about that," Loop said. "The moment that I was like, 'Alright, hey, I think we're going to end up at Baltimore,' was right after the Patriots took 'Andy' (kicker Andres Borregales). I was like, 'Alright, here we go. I'm going to be a Baltimore Raven and go to be with Randy and Harbaugh and be a Raven.' I'm pumped."

    Loop has arguably the biggest leg in this year's class, making a school record 62-yard field goal at Arizona and converting 63 of 80 career field goal attempts (83.8%). He was six for nine on field goals of at least 50 yards in 2024.

    Though he hasn't had a ton of experience kicking in the cold winter climates he will see in the AFC North, Loop isn't worried.

    "Being in the Pac-12, I got to go up to Washington, Washington State, and Oregon and play up there in some cold weather and some wind and crazy conditions," Loop said. "It's something that gets me excited.

    "I think having a challenge to go conquer and a skillset to refine and really work on and become an expert of kicking in those conditions is something that gets me fired up. Learning from coaches who have been up there for a long time and learned how to be successful in the AFC North kicking, that's something that just the sound of gets me pumped up, so I'm really looking forward to it."
