Scroll down to the paragraph headed 'Much Ado About Ngata... http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ravens-news-and-notes-20150713-story.html

His remarks seemed to have been taken out of context. He apparently was saying he never had been in the type of defense they played.

Yeah...I don't see how you can leave Boller off the list---he was a first round draft pick. Nice guy but didn't seem to 'get it'.

Max, I'm laughing my ass off! I want 'TheSteelHurtin' to come back and tell us how the Steelers got robbed in the playoffs last year.

From the Ravens' website: "Rookies will arrive on July 22, injured veterans on July 24 and quarterbacks on July 26. The rest of the veterans will check in on July 29, and there will be a team meeting that evening." First practice is the 30th.

Only one month and counting until camp starts.

Maxx is only 21 and if I remember correctly he's only had one full season of college ball. I think he probably needs a little more coaching and development time to mature into a good TE.

I'd give him a conditional A- at this time. We won't really know how good these new guys are until camp and pre-season.

I read this and didn't come away with any warm and fuzzies. The last time this happened, Suggs had a bad year. Also, where is his leadership? He should be showing the rookies how to 'play like a Raven'. Instead, it sounds like he wants to retire. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Aging-Terrell-Suggs-Feels-Weird-Without-Haloti-Ngata/d268e1d9-abb7-45dc-a494-45ebd4282f07

That's where having one more veteran CB would come in helpful.

Yep both those guys were a welcome surprise last year. It'll be interesting to see how the LT spot goes now that Monroe will have some competition. Monroe will very likely be the starter this year but in 2016, who knows?

Early days yet. This team has more potential than the Super Bowl team and is younger and faster. Now all they have to do is realize all that potential.

If he comes back, I would definitely PUP him. How can you have any confidence he'd last with the way it happened last time (i.e, no contact). A good long look with him PUP-ed is a good idea. Plus like you said, it gives a talented bunch of young TE's a chance to play and shine.

I think it all depends on his being ready for camp at the end of July. I honestly hope he's going to OK because he sure looked good on those few occasions when he played.

Wow, good stuff for sure! But like you said, it's early with no pads.

SWEEET!

There's a lot of talented receivers on the team...I'm sure one will evolve into being a number one but we won't know who until at least mid-season. Tough break for Campy. He had been working all off season on his hammy and now this. Maybe it'll shake out by camp time.

There's always going to some dead money but we obviously we are way over a barrell for this year. I'm not worried by the small cap hits of Smith and Smith. Pitta's potential dead money hurts but isn't disabling.

Thanks again! At least we won't have to fight the dead money issue again next year.

Thanks...so does that mean this is the last year of the Rice/Jones dead money? And since we traded Ngata doesn't his cap hit go away?

Does anybody know when the Ray Rice, Ngata, and Jones dead money 'goes away'? It really hurts our cap.

It's an impressive lineup. I have a feeling Aiken will start in front of Brown. Upshaw's good against the run. He's been a minor letdown. Elam, I've have big doubts he'll turn it around.

That's what I think too.

I think he can make it back but the operative word is 'think'. I'm not sure at all it would hold up. If it was me, I'd call it a career and move on so that I could enjoy an active life with my family. But it's really up to Dennis and the doctors just like you said. If they clear him to play...well. we'll see.
