TBird

LT Ronnie Staley of Notre Dame but only if KO is gone. This is an early mock and we'll know if KO is here by draft day. Staley is the second best LT in the game. Tunsil of Ole Miss will go in the first 4. I've seen him as high as #1. If KO leaves you can plug Staley in and forget about the left side for the next decade ala JO. It would give us the best line in football with all pro Yanda and future all pro Wagner on the right side and they've been called the best 1-2 punch on the right the last two years and either Ryan Jensen or Urschel taking LG. Urschel will be the Center when Zuttah leaves. Jensen performed well when KO moved to LT. If he is still here at LT Mel has us taking Treadwell but Oz will have to trade down because while he's the best receiver on the board, he's not a top 10 pick so it wouldnt be a good value pick there like Flacco wasn't so he traded down. So Ozzie could trade down and get him and pick up an extra body which he loves to do. Mel thinks Ramsey will go to JAGs just above us. McShay said the same in his early mock. There's a lot of options here for the Ravens including Hargreaves considered the second best CB on the board and a pure cover guy according to McShay but at 5'9, the taller receivers might bounce him around. Elsewhere over on twitter there's a lot of favorable comments from last year's draft in reference to Zadarius Smith who Ozzie got in the Ngata trade from DET. Everyone said he did well and one is he's the most under-rated pass rushers on the team. Maxx was the other player Oz got for Ngata who started out the year on the IR like his Ravens brethren and didn't do much all year. With guys from the last two drafts like Jernigan and Z, we have our pass rushers. We still need a guy off the edge but we're in better shape than most fans think. Chalk another one up to Ozzie. Peter King said teams never learn. Nobody wins when you trade with NE and Baltimore. They're fleece you every time.

Which leads us to #3. Ravens just missed a team record passing by 90 yards with over 5700 yards gained, which leads us to #5 less rushing attempts ever by the Ravens. We told you so. We said Trest scored more points in Chicago than any other team. Now just think what he could do with Perriman, Treadwell and SR next year plus a bulked up Maxx.

With at least 2 starters out - Suggs and um, Elam plus Dooom for a while and others. They never had their entire D together for the entire year.

Damn, I was hoping he'd be coaching for the Ravens. I knew he wanted to and it would have been a natural except for one thing. HARBs didn't want him after he got rid of him and that was for the club house revolt he led with Boldin and Pollard over wearing pads at practice. HARBs acquiesced but never forgot it and got rid of them after they won SB 47. Ozzie said the departures were over production not personalities which was bunk. Boldin had a monster year in SF gaining 200 yards in their first game and just missing going to the SB by 1 play. Pollard had a great year before being injured, released and then retiring his second year. Ed was truly finished landing a big contract in Houston and was cut but ended up with Rex in NY and then released and then he retired. I kept waiting for the announcement to first be in the Ring of HOnor which came but no way was HARBs bringing him back to coach. Damn shame because he was the best safety in history and could have taught Elam a thing or two about playing the game. Rex wants him to emphasize studying film and teach his players how to do it. Meanwhile, Gronk is having a another great playoff season with Pollard gone. Last year he had a field day vs Ravens secondary where the last time Pollard ruined him on a typical vicious hit. He sent HARBs a big thank you note for getting rid of his tormentor, not only with the Ravens but several other teams as well. Sometimes, HARBs really sucks and this is one of these times. w.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ed-reed-added-to-buffalo-bills-coaching-staff-20160113-story.html

Speaking of which, the injuries kept us out of the last 2 SBs. It took the best QB and heach coach in the game and a lot of cheating and trickery for NE to beat a banged up secondary with Melvin who wasn't even playing football 3 weeks before and in NE and in Feb. Before this season started SI and Peter King predicted Ravens would win SB 50 because they had the most talent on paper. But what about next year. If Ravens draft, say Treadwell the best WR in the game will he go down with an injury like Perriman this year and will Perriman come back next year. Back to Maxx, he'll be better next year and will bulk up as HARBs says. Just think of Maxx with the likes of Treadwell, Perriman and SR. Joe will have his weapons.

Really? That's what it was - explaining? ILMAO You need to explain it to Goody since he's the one who always loses in court and he's a lawyer and isn't up on procedure as much as you. ILAMO

Nicky Boyle is the best blocker on the line. He's an animal.

Yea, yea, Good boy but he still got whacked and then settled - this time out of court.

UM Sporty - I don't have your time to read the entire CBA. Goody didn't know it either and he's a lawyer who gets paid to know such things (and he's always getting over-turned in court) and he suspended him twice and was just over ruled based on the article you just posted. ILMAO. Ravens suspended him once and then released him after the vid and still it stands. That's double jepardy too. So Rice actually got whacked 4 times (twice from Ravens, twice from Goody) for 1 offense and then was black balled from getting back in.

He can't be suspended twice by the commish who suspended Rice twice and the Ravens once for a total of 3 times. He suspended her the first time for a certain number of games and then indefinitely the second time after the vid came out. Her wording is precise that the commissioner cannot suspend a player twice for the same crime. That doesn't mean an owner of a team can't suspend his employee also. Ravens suspended him then NFL for 2 games and then indefinitely after the vid cam out and Ravens dismissed him. Judge ruled double jeopardy in the NFLs case of 2 suspensions but your point is well taken and Baddall might be snake bit to suspend Nicky Boyle after Ravens just did. The rest of the country wanted tougher measures taken vs Rice and didn't feel Baddy was strict enough. _____________________________________________________________ Goodell suspended Rice indefinitely on Sept. 8, shortly after a video of the assault surfaced. The commissioner had previously suspended Rice two games for the incident, prompting a fierce outcry from critics who said the league did not take domestic violence seriously enough. In her ruling, which brought new scrutiny to Goodell's oft-criticized handling of player discipline, Jones called the second, indefinite suspension “arbitrary.”

Boyle is on the hot seat after getting suspended by the team the last 4 games. The NFL will probably suspend him too but he was my favorite Raven - mean and tough looking. He just looked like a football player.

I wanted him when he was projected in the 1st round before he dropped. He'll be a great one before it's over - even better than Gilmore.

He had 58 yards on 11 catches in Cinci finishing on a high note. He had 268 yards for the year. BTW, that's the best any rookie TE did for the Ravens including Heap and Pitta and Ravens won a SB with Pitta and a ton of playoff games with Heap. Maxx also moved the chains gaining 11 yards in at least 11 of 16 games. That was written up in his scouting reports that he is a chain mover. It was doubted how much he could score in the red zone and his size dropped him from the first to second round. He's only 21 and hasn't bulked up yet. HARBs loves his toughnest and says Maxx is his kind of guy (TE). He said guys bounced off of him, he didn't bounce off anyone and scored a TD jumping over a guy after running over two guys in his season high light vid. That said, Cinci didn't exactly bring their A game still winning it so they probably let up but once Maxx bulks up the rest will come as he'll run over even more people while moving the chains and being a big target in the red zone for the TDs. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Maxx-Williams-Ends-Rookie-Year-On-A-High-Note/d02701ba-8e61-4878-8376-3cdcc232613f

Love Stinks after my bitch left me. Also a lot of soft blues and Jazz thinking of her with BB King and Eric Clapton. I sing Crazy Bitch on Karaokee night and that song usually gets me laid as girls go nuts. It has a line that says she puts scratches down my back and when I sing those words girls come up on the stage and put scratches down my back. That's how I met my ex.
