It sure would be nice to have a guy that stretches the field for Flacco. He's got a great deep ball if someone could just get deep
And, if Cam lets them go deep.
-
He won't like hearing "I'm gonna beat your brains out" from the first OT that he faces....but they will slap his head around.
He has to be able to take that and not be dizzy or spaced out.
We'll see.
He's never had a training camp or played a down so he has a long way to go to make it on the field on this defense.
The guys wacked anyway...that doesn't bother me....McCrary was crazy as shit and that made him great.
I'll keep wishing him well and looking for the good. The pre head injury Kindle would have been a great addition to this D playing opposite Suggs.
Will the Ravens get that guy?
Absolutely correct on all thoughts there. If he can play without injuring himself and be the force we saw in college it would be awesome. I only hope he can do it.

Its a nice thought but I don't see it happening because the dollar cost would be too great. Maybe they'll prove me wrong.

Good write-up, Max. I miss the Ravens and football too. I also miss all the action that usually is happening here on the board. I have some hope they might get this resolved in the next 3 weeks before the court rules. If they don't, I guess we're going to miss some games at least.

Good for him!

You really want to hurt the NFL, do not watch the NFL Network and most importantly do not click on any link from NFL.Com..Goodell has already hinted that theres a definate dropoff on hits on the website.
It pains me because im a football junky, but we have to force them to get this settled and get them back on the field..
There won't be a settlement until at least the appeals court rules on the lockout. The hearing is in early June but the decision probably won't be announced until late that month or early July.
Then, I think, talks will begin in earnest.

Crav,
This is BS. Since we have a lockout, all the so called NFL pundits and deadbeats like Dukes are desperately bored and looking for stuff.
Absolutely correct. With no news to report they're going crazy on the 24-7 NFL channel.

Pretty much agree with everything you said. The first two picks can't be criticized unless Jimmy Smith gets in trouble. Not sure what to think of the OT in the 3rd round. Just seems like a reach to me. Doss was a good pick. After that one, I've got a feeling we can write off the rest of the draft.
We needed a lot this year. I think we still need an OT unless Reid is a lot better than I expect and as you mentioned we did nothing for the pass rush. It was probably too much to ask to be able to address all our needs in this one draft.
If Kindle can play that would help a whole bunch. But the silence around his prospects of playing is disheartening. I hope he can play.
The other problem is the lockout---its going to interfere with these draft picks getting up to speed no matter how good they are. Whenever the dust settles on the labor front, the teams are going to need some real training camp time but they may not get it if this drags on into September.
Still, the Ravens draft came out with real playmakers in the CB and WR positions. Thats a very good thing.

I think its fitting to move it to Unitas Stadium, that way on TV it would look like a packed house.
I agree!

Glad to see Joe do this.

Flacco should shut-up about this.
-
By ESPN.com staffThe NFL awarded compensatory draft picks Friday, and three AFC North teams will benefit.
The Ravens were awarded two picks, both in the fifth round (164th and 165th).

A bright spot in the gloom of the labor situation.

It's a Mystery of the Universe.
Or
In the Ravens playbook you are not allowed to hit a receiver in stride. Verbotten.
Also the offense doesn't get enough rest at halftime. They need to stay off the field for the entire 3rd quarter so they can make it through the 4th. They did an excellent job at that.
But...Rome wasn't built in a day. One step at a time! The offense has improved. The receivers now run 7-8 yards on 3rd and 7 instead of the required 4 in Billicks playbook. The "hang the RB out in the flat" play is gone too.
Look...play it safe...you don't want anything bad to happen do you!?! Getting greedy, playing to win the game, going for the throat...that's all dangerous stuff!
LOL in agreement!
-
They should re-sign this guy and look at other positions that need help in the draft (OL, OLB, WR).
-
Yeah I figured that without having an article.
I agree. But why is it that we can see this and figure it out and our coaches/GM can't?
Thats what fries me.

I'm glad that Harbaugh is saying all the right things. Right now its the off-season and who knows what's going to happen with the labor dispute. Right now, what Harbs says is all we have to go on. I'm sure glad he isn't saying all the wrong things.
Sometimes Preston is more annoying than insightful.
-
We definitely shouldn't give up on the long ball, however we should absolutely give up on running guys like Boldin Deep. Doesn't make sense.
Agree!

Sounds like a better approach.
-
This has been a good thread. I agree with those who say we have to look at Joe's very low interception rate, the offensive line protection, and, of course, the routes Cam has the receivers run.
I will say that Joe could possibly throw the ball the away a LITTLE more often rather than take a sack.
Our receivers patterns are too similar. While we shouldn't give up on the long ball, we have got to use more slants and picks and better executed WR screens.
-
If you are looking for the hammer these are guys I like later in the draft.
McGahee's age and salary are going to get him cut---but the Ravens still have a good shot at bringing him back at a lower cost when he becomes a free agent, if they want him.
I'd rather have McLain back to block for Ray Rice and Flacco.
-
There is no need for a black or white world. There is a happy medium where all sides can be happy.
Thats what I'm saying.

I'm not sure if either the union or management is sincere at this point. I think they've both dug in their heels.
Getting a mediator is better than nothing and at least they're still talking but I suspect its just a PR move. Like Papa said, if they were serious they would have tone to an arbitrator not a mediator.
I hope I'm wrong and they do have an agreement in a week or two.
As for Miller, I disagree with a lot of what he says. The salary cap is what keeps football competitive between franchises. If baseball had one, small market teams would have more of a chance to win than they do now. On the other hand, baseball players, before free agency, were treated like cattle. In football, the combination of a salary cap and free agency after a few years seems fair to me to both sides and has been very successful to the popularity and wealth of the league owners and players alike.
I Agree with Joe on This
in Baltimore Ravens
