vmax Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Check out this video...http://www.baltimoreravens.com/videos/videos/Defensive_Line_Has_Potential_To_Be_Dominant/7b73c610-d2ce-484f-ad96-2f75bacb8e8c The depth is insane. What an off season Ozzie had here!Nasty, Ravens, Smash Mouth Football... “I think that Terrell is on an all-time high right now in a lot of areas in his life,” Monachino said Sunday.Suggs has drawn rave reviews for his work in the offseason and in the early part of training camp. The 11-year veteran came into camp slimmed down and motivated after fighting through significant injuries last year.Suggs has stood out in nearly every camp practice, running past offensive linemen, batting down passes and getting to the quarterbacks in the backfield. He has embraced the duty of becoming more of a defensive leader, and his attitude is evident throughout the building.“It’s a different Suggs than I’ve seen in the last four seasons,” said Monachino, who joined the Ravens in 2010. “It’s a similar Suggs to the one I saw as a 19-year-old kid. He is completely involved; he can’t get enough football right now.“He loves the work, he loves the leadership role he’s taken on, and so, all of that put together makes him practice and prepare and approach his business the way that an 11-year pro should.”http://forums.extremeravens.com/index.php?app=forums&module=post§ion=post&do=new_post&f=17 Quote

Oldschool739 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 47 was a far more dramatic win.....Would of been another thumping had it not been for the sabotaged light delay....But it's hard to stop a run away train, as the 40whiners found out first hand..... World Champs.....All yr loooooong ....REPEAT !!!! Quote
Tornado700 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 V- I think this entire D will be dominant. Quote
thundercleetz Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 This D reminds me of 2006 when we had Suggs, AD, Pryce, and Scott as pass rushers with Ngata and Greg upfront. I think that team had the most sacks in Ravens history and IMO was the second best Ravens D ever. This year is similar. We are absolutely STACKED. Ngata, Jones, Canty, Spears, Brandon Williams and Cody on the inside. We were so stacked inside that McPhee slimmed down and moved outside. Backing up Suggs and Dumervil we have Simon, McPhee, Adrian Hamilton and McClellan. LOTS of competition! Do not forget we have two UDFA's that are playing great along the defensive line. 1 Quote

I think they have been playing McClellan inside which I like a lot. It is ridiculous how versatile this D is shaping up to be. Quote
colincac Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I really wouldn't be opposed to playing a lot of Nickel Defenses with some odd D-Line formations. Our depth is definitely insane at DL and OLB, and if we rush 5 of those guys every play we can afford to have some extra DB help out there (not to mention MLB is somewhat of a question mark). Quote

cravnravn Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 I just see a steady rotation of fresh bodies, and that spells Doom for Running Backs as well as O-Linemen. Quote
thundercleetz Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 And Upshaw. Haha how'd I forget. We are stacked Quote
