Maybe that's why Hollywood is getting disgruntled? Cause he's open down the sidelines often? BTW, kudos to Willie Snead. I said put Duvernay in the slot and I still stand by that but Snead had a good game Sunday.

I don't want to jump too hard on Lamar but, and a big but, he's either not the same Lamar as last year's edition or defenses have figured him out. I think it's the latter. Basically, if you can prevent him from running and force him to throw you contain him and he just doesn't have the skill set yet, or maybe ever (gulp!), to compensate. I have to agree with Tsyl too. He's not making the proper reads. He's also under a lot more pressure from good teams when throwing and he's not adapting. He isn't making the killer plays to stymie the pass rush. He looks to run himself too much and it's hurting him. I think these things are correctable but Greg Roman has a part to play here too as well as the QB coach. Bottom line: the best teams have adapted and the Ravens and Lamar haven't. And I'm not sure they can as they are built and coached now.

Good move. Hopefully, Stanley who is an 'A' blocker can develop some leadership skills, if he hasn't already, to help the rest of the line. Like Yanda did.

I can't say I remember for sure but I believe Orrsville was in the closed end of the stadium. Can't recall which corner. There are others on the website who probably remember better than me. I loved that guy.

Good insight, Max. That is the biggest difference with the offense this year.

Interesting thought. We should probably give our new guys a shot first.

Exactly.

Boykin does have good hands---and apparently little else. I sound like a broken record: let Proche and Duvernay play dammit.

I just can't see a Ravens' win here unless the full offense shows up: running, passing, receiving, and blocking. They haven't put all these together yet. As I argued for earlier, time to replace Boykin with Duvernay if B. can't produce this game. And Stanley, Brown, et.al., are going to have to get fired up and block. Steelers 24 Ravens 13 unless they wake up.

They're all attending Disney World...what a time to re-open!!

Yes...the real superheroes!

With the situation like it is, Max, you had no other reasonable choice. I am high risk also so I know how you feel, I think. But as one who has been retired for a number of years now and who also took an early retirement with a reduced pension, you may find retirement is a lot better than you may think it will be. I also found I needed less money to spend than when I was working. So God bless you and yours.

I have to disagree Max. If they had maintained the restrictions for just another 4 weeks, we may have taken a big bite out of the virus at least until the autumn wave arrives. Now we're all vulnerable.

We'll bounce back. I hope we'll get a new President and Senate and things that need to get done will get done. As you said it's a long grocery list but we just have to make some real progress. In the meantime, I'm going to go drink my Lysol cocktail and swallow some lit light bulbs after that.

As hard as it may be, if Trump rushes a premature re-opening and we have a national 'relapse' the negative economic and health consequences to the country could very well last into next year and what a mess that would be. I don't know if we can survive that long on the competence, or lack thereof of our president. I can't say it often enough to him: 'Listen to Faucci'. He is the guy with the smarts, knowledge and training whose advice should be adhered to now.

I see. Good name for him too!

Excuse my being dense, Papa...who is Mitch?

Thanks, and I hope things work out for you too, Dee, and Max. Difficult times for sure. I look forward to when we emerge on other side of this.

Well, guys my wife and I are both 71 and our adult son is living with us because he's recovering from congestive heart failure that he got from a virus in December. Work was driving him crazy too. He's on some pretty strong medication while he recuperates here. He's been able to resume teleworking but going to work was out anyway. We won't know how he's really doing until late May. Soooo, we have 3 high risk people living under the same roof. Got our first food delivery from Instacart yesterday and were very pleased with that. Just got our first delivery of son's meds from the pharmacy and that went well too. God bless the people doing the deliveries and the shopping for us. And of course the docs and nurses and other medical people. Right now we're following all the orders to a 't'. Hoping if everybody does the same we'll flatten the curve.

While I don't know you personally, Max, it's evident to me that you're a good man. I hope that because of the $2.2 trillion relief bill, your employer is able to keep you on the payroll as long as necessary. In the meantime I wish you and your family good health.

They won't prevent you from going to the garden. I agree with Max on everything he said and quoted. Time to lock down.
