oldno82 Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Any word yet on when the State of the Ravens press conference with Bisciotti, Newsome, and Harbaugh will be? Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 On 98 Rock they said probably next week. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That is the week before the draft I think. Quote
oldno82 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 The "state of..." Is usually pretty good. Pops is right about the crud that spews out just before the draft. Quote
RavenMad Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I thought the state of the Ravens normally took place within a couple of days after the end of our season. Quote
papasmurfbell Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I thought the state of the Ravens normally took place within a couple of days after the end of our season.They are going down to Fla and Steves house next week. Also the coaching staff does have the PB to coach. Quote
OutsideRzAcE Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Yea that was weird....I guess they aren't doing one this year? Quote
oldno82 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 Some are saying the week of the 23rd. No facts published yet. Quote
oldno82 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I'm looking forward to it. While nothing major happens, sometimes the buzz lets you know what they're thinking regarding, extensions, free agency, and the draft. Quote
vmax Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 This is the longest wait in team history.Hopefully this long delay is due to a serious inventory of where they are now and lot of strategic planning for the future. “Games can be won by talent, but championships are won by chemistry,” Lewis said.Since Lewis, Ed Reed and a large chunk of the Super Bowl roster has left Baltimore, the front office has moved forward with key players like quarterback Joe Flacco, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, cornerback Jimmy Smith, wide receiver Torrey Smith and guard Marshal Yanda.Lewis said finding and keeping a positive chemistry in the locker room will propel the Ravens to the next level.“That’s why when I look at my team, they will be a force and they’re going to have to get it done real soon before things start to break up,” Lewis said.“You can replace anybody with talent all day, but there’s a certain chemistry and a certain leadership that the great teams have. Those are the ones that finish it. We’re at a place where we have to find out that one, two core people that are going to be with us that next four, five, six, seven years to build that organization, to get us back to that dance again. Great teams do it together. Great defenses figure it out together. But I’m excited about what the future holds for the Ravens once we figure out what those key pieces are going to be. I think it’s going to be exciting.” Quote
varaven45 Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Yep, as our good, late friend Sock used to say, character and chemistry win championships. That's what I remembered most about the 2000 team.After we survived the TD scoring drought that year, there wasn't a game I ever had any doubt about winning. Not with that team's substance, character and chemistry. Fast forwarding to 2015, I think we are a good bit away from recapturing those critical team elements but appear to be closing the gap and moving in the right direction. With our FO, I am optimistic we will regain those elements, be competitive for several years and, hopefully, posture ourselves for a few more Lombardy's. Quote
RavenMad Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I have to believe that the delay is so they can get the house in order. You know that the Ray Rice situation is going to come up again and some of the FO people didn't exactly tow the party line. They are probably rehearsing how they are going to handle the media to present a united front. Either that or they are figuring out the makeup of the FO as a few guys are pushed towards retirement (aka fired for not following Biscuit's lead). Quote
cravnravn Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Remember our coaching staff coached the pro bowl,so they probably didn't have a bunch of time to get together, Quote
tsylvester Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Here you go in case you missed it and want to hear the spew....... And Biscott, the crack about suicide was not funny, it is no joke. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/State-Of-The-Ravens-Press-Conference-Preview/558e0a56-0522-4d90-926d-8226a0270e04 Quote
tsylvester Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I think we can say good bye to McPhee, even if this is just a ploy by them...... OLB Pernell McPheeContract situation: Unrestricted free agent“I think you have to look at it this way: If we were to go after the market on Pernell, how many other players would we not have on the Baltimore Ravens? That’s kind of the way we look at this thing,” Newsome said. “Will we pay market for some players? Yes. We paid market for Joe [Flacco], Eugene [Monroe], [Marshal] Yanda. But we have to look at it that we can’t pay everybody market value because it will hurt our roster overall in trying to retain the other guys that can go out in the market.” Quote

SteveB. then joked, "i'm no longer on suicide watch". What's your beef with that? Lighten up. Quote

Again, suicide is no joke, maybe once it stops being funny to say, the number of real people on the ledge will go down. Any thoughts on what was said or do you just want to suckle some more>? Quote
thundercleetz Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 As soon as those words left Bisciotti's mouth I knew it was trouble. Also trouble how he compared Deflategate to the Ray Rice situation. The guy is a loose cannon. Quote
thundercleetz Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 I think we can say good bye to McPhee, even if this is just a ploy by them...... From the sound of the press conference Torrey could he gone too. Quote

Any thoughts on what was said or do you just want to suckle some more>?I heard the presser in it's entirety. I hardly think Steve was making fun of people who jump off ledges. I think your entirely too sensitive, sort of like a whiny spoiled little girl. Too negative. Would hate to be you. Quote
