  1. Kelly Gregg was small too, huh? They have a couple undrafted and late rounders 6-3 300+ pounds
  2. Travis Jones made some big strides last year, he could be, nay, should be a key piece in run stopping. Jenkins also another big body, albeit long in the tooth. Revenell may be a good sleeper in the rotation along with Okoye, both young and a little inexperienced, but with this group, should add very good depth in the middle. "If" these very large young men pan out, teams will not be able to run. Jones and Madds have shown a great ability to collapse pockets, this year they should be even better.
  3. This kid has the potential, yes, why not go there, to be Peter Boulware level good. I see, in his college play, similarities; let us hope With this secondary and the ability of the interior linemen to collapse a pocket, qbs will have to either throw early, leading to pick potential or hold for a step longer giving the edge rushers that half second to get home. This will be key to slow down the Bengals
  4. He gets hurt every year, when does he make the most plays? When he is unblocked or blocked by a smaller tight end; waste of money
  5. Draw a line in the sand and don't move, sometimes it works. It did for Watt, 3 years, $123 mil. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45764664/steelers-tj-watt-agree-3-year-123m-extension
  6. I've heard rumors that they, front office and Lamar, are close. However true, who knows, but from the same guy who gave out the Likely numbers
  7. It cant top $7 mil, so it should be easy
  8. To the Comandos, 1 year deal, good.. Niners inked their 2nd round pick, he got most, though not all of his $10 mil contract guaranteed Ravens placed Emery Jones on the non football injury list...
  9. Yeah, I agree, Clowney would be better than Miller here.
  10. Just read an article in the post about Von Miller. Named 3 teams that showed interest in bringing him in. His agent mentioned the Ravens, though he did not say they were one of the 3 teams. I certainly hope not, 6 sacks last year, none the year before and suspended, though never charged for 4 games because he hit his pregnant baby momma
  11. Right! They should be screaming this from the roof tops
  12. Green is 1 of 30 2nd round picks not to be signed, and likely to hold out of camp. They all want their contracts guaranteed. Sorry, while you are likely to make the team as a 2nd rounder, you are not a first..
  13. Wowza, they want their contracts guaranteed, or else.This includes Mike Green who wants his guaranteed..... That backfired on one of the Browns 2nd round picks who has been arrested for domestic abuse.
  14. His record of non losing seasons is a farce, no playoff wins in how many years? Winning games with a few touchdowns, mostly field goals the past couple of years. Yes, I would say if they cant win in the post season, score real points with Roger's, or even with him should I say, Tomlin would have to go
  15. They will after this season, one last hurrah. Rogers retires alomg with several other players, Howard takes over they try to get back to Stiller football.... Lots of luck with that
  16. Couple of weeks let the fun begin, oh how I miss camp in Westimster Side note, Stillers playing hard ball with Watt, not wanting to bend to his contract demands they leak info of them "reaching out to other teams for possible trade" expect a 2nd rounder....
  17. https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/tyler-loop-john-hoyland-ravens-kicking-competition-training-camp-preview As Ravens training camp approaches, we'll look at six of the top position group competitions: wide receiver, offensive line, outside linebacker, cornerback, safety, and kicker. In the Hunt Tyler Loop John Hoyland Projected Starter This will be the first training camp that the Ravens will have a kicking competition since Justin Tucker beat out veteran Billy Cundiff ahead of the 2012 Super Bowl season. The Ravens used one of their 11 draft picks in April to select Loop with the hope of having him be the kicker for years to come. He was their first choice. The team also added Hoyland, an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming, as competition. Head Coach John Harbaugh said after mandatory minicamp that both were doing well with perfecting their swings. "I think the biggest thing is to try to put them in tough situations as much as we can," Harbaugh said. Under the Radar Hoyland may not have quite the power that Loop does, but he has stayed afloat with his accuracy in the battle thus far. He finished his five-year collegiate career making 79.3% of his field-goal attempts and 99.3% of his extra points. The Colorado native can also boot it from distance when he needs to. He made eight field goals of 50 yards or more in his final three years at Wyoming, including a 56-yarder in 2023.
  18. It is from an instagram post from a guy who supposedly has good connections and is "never" wrong on his info. Ive never heard of him, but came across it just googling ravens info
  19. Sure is if he signs it, providing it is true
  20. Yeah, close to $13 mil per season, no word on signing bonus yet
  21. Likely because of his contract and coming back from that achilles injury. They must not have considered that playing at a high level as he did in Mini was a pipe dream the first year. It's clear in the program though that he had a lot of issues with the structure of the offense that also lead to him playing poorly.
  22. Its pretty good so far, Burrow, Cousins & Goff. Burrow is clearly a pretty boy, my goodness, talented no doubt but i bet he gets a manny pedi before, at half time and after each game complete with those little fish that nibble on the feet
  23. If you have the Netflix, the quarterback series is back and new
  24. Maybe, he didn't do much for Kc, but at the very least, I hope the younger receivers can learn from him
  25. During a conversation with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and a strength coach this offseason, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was asked: "Since you've been on other teams, what do you think about the Ravens from the outside looking in?" Hopkins' response caught them off guard. "It seems like there's been a piece that's been missing," Hopkins told them. "I could be that addition. I could not be that addition." Hopkins' impact in his first season with Baltimore will likely come down to how much faith Lamar Jackson has in him. Hopkins' resume has been so built on pulling in tight window passes that Humphrey referred to him as "Mr. Contested Catch." During Hopkins' streak of four straight Pro Bowl seasons (2017 to 2020), he led the NFL by catching 12 touchdown passes on tight window throws, which are pass attempts when the separation between the target and nearest defender is less than one yard at pass arrival. Since entering the league in 2015, he has made 84 closely contested receptions, ranking fifth among active players. But Jackson has thrived by finding the wide open receiver. His 52 attempts into tight windows last season were the fewest among quarterbacks with at least 500 dropbacks. "You're speaking to trust," Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin said. "[Hopkins is] a wide receiver that can play strong [with] big, strong hands that quarterbacks love. That's a really good comfort level for a quarterback, when you can put the ball in the vicinity and trust that guy is going to make a play. So, we look forward to what that relationship is going to be like." Hopkins is averaging 2.54 yards of separation since the statistic first started being tracked in 2016. Last season, Jackson targeted players who averaged 4.26 yards of separation, the highest in the league. How long will it take for Hopkins and Jackson to gain chemistry? Hopkins joked that he knows what it takes to connect with quarterbacks because he's probably played with more of them than any other receiver. In 12 seasons, he's caught passes from 19 different quarterbacks -- from former Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub to Patrick Mahomes. This offseason, Jackson and Hopkins have had limited time on the field. They have been together for three practices, including one at a voluntary workout and two at mandatory minicamp. "I don't think it's a [set] time frame," Hopkins said. "A guy like Lamar, who's a veteran quarterback, he's played a lot of football. Myself, I play a lot of football. We see things differently, but I've had rookie quarterbacks that have taken longer. So, it differs." Jackson has long wanted to throw passes to Hopkins. During the 2023 offseason, Jackson suggested to the Ravens that they bring in Hopkins and Odell Beckham Jr. Baltimore added Beckham that year, but it's taken two years for Hopkins to land. He signed a one-year, $5 million contract with Baltimore in March. It didn't take long for Hopkins and Jackson to connect during a simulated third-down situation in minicamp. Jackson's pass went low over the middle to Hopkins, who slid to make a one-handed grab. "He is different," Jackson said. "He caught the ball so smoothly and got up [easily]. I don't even think he put his other hand on the ground to get up; he just caught the ball and just started [running]. That's some super vet type of stuff. It's just dope to have him [here], and I am looking forward to throwing a lot of touchdowns to him this year." Hopkins has put together one of the most prolific careers for a wide receiver. He ranks 16th all-time with 984 receptions and is 21st with 12,965 yards receiving. Now, at the age of 33, Hopkins feels like he has a lot left for Jackson and the only offense to eclipse 7,000 yards last season. For those who doubt him, he provided a photo as proof. Hopkins posted an Instagram story from the second offseason practice of the fastest players, which showed him clocking a speed of 20 mph. He was tied for second with WR Devontez Walker and behind CB Marquise Robinson, who ran 20.2 mph. "I'm old and can't run," Hopkins sarcastically wrote on social media, adding a shushing face emoji. Hopkins has had only one 1,000-yard season over the past four years, but Baltimore doesn't need him to be the go-to receiver. Zay Flowers has become Jackson's top target, and Rashod Bateman is the Ravens' most productive downfield threat. The Ravens envision Hopkins stepping up in clutch moments, jumping high to make one of his signature contested catches. "He's been in big games before," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "He's made plays in the big games. He knows how to make plays. There's not going to be any situation that's going to be too big for him." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45582207/deandre-hopkins-baltimore-ravens-lamar-jackson-contested-catches
