TBird Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Thanks for the email V. I'll put Aaron's tweets in here. Quote
vmax Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Prestons take.... Regardless of rookie Maxx Williams being a second-round draft pick, it’s hard to imagine him beating out Crockett Gillmore as the full-time starting tight end.. Williams isn’t a strong enough blocker yet. To be honest, he needs some more butt in his pants and a year in the weight room. During a one-on-one period Saturday where tight ends had to block outside linebackers, Gillmore performed well. It is apparent that the 15 to 20 pounds of bulk he added in the offseason has helped. Williams struggled and once got trucked by Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs. Finding a little toughness could help Williams, too. Again, the rookie who held his own was Nick Boyle, a fifth-round pick out of Delaware. He stood his ground against Courtney Upshaw and didn’t back down when Upshaw tried to intimidate him. http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/bal-mike-preston-difficult-to-see-maxx-williams-win-starting-job-and-other-thoughts-20150801-story.html Quote
cravnravn Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Crocket Gilmore just sounds better then a Naxx Williams Quote
vmax Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 Perriman update.... Meanwhile, rookie wide receiver Breshad Perriman remains sidelined with a right knee injury. Perriman landed on his knee and bruised it badly during practice last week.Although the injury isn't considered major, sources said it may sideline the speedy first-round draft pick longer than the Ravens had initially hoped and he could be out as long as as a week.Perriman has missed the past two days of practice. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/ravens-insider/bal-ravens-wide-receiver-marlon-brown-regarded-as-day-to-day-with-back-injury-20150802-story.html Browns out with a "day to day" back injury. It feels like the WR corps is this years version of the secondary. Quote
TBird Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 A link was posted that Tally reported to camp lighter and quicker. The results posted aboveare showing already. That will be a great 1-2 punch with Buck bringing up the rear. Yanda won't get beaten like that again but I said a while back Jernigan would have sacked Bradyon his last TD throw in NE if he hadn't slipped on wet field. He has that same first step that Suggshas. That's the difference - the first step where you blow by your blocker(s). Then on the way by Jernigan slapped his blocker in the back with just one hand and the guy falls flaton his face. He's closing in for the sack and slipped, damn it. We might have won butJernigan is going to be a great one. What a great draft - Mosley and Jernigan and Tally too. All contributing and Campy is even having a great camp thus far running superior routes and makingcatches. Don't worry bout Maxx. He's very young and just had his first great practice moving the chains inthe red zone. Another two great picks by Oz. Quote
TBird Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 From Aaron's tweets - not good. Perriman's knee is gonna take a little longer than team thought. Elam's injury was freakish after reporting to camp in great condition. HARBs really feltfor the guy. Dooom won't return until he's 100% cured over his injury. SR blew by AsA Jackson for big catch.

TBird Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Jernigan is disruptive. Well, it should be noted that KO and Yanda had the day off whenthis happened but he slaughtered Zuttah throwing him to the ground. http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/News-And-Notes-82-Timmy-Jernigan-Disruptive/edf613cf-9284-4f85-a24f-d93ee9a3f638 Quote
Tornado700 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Prestons take.... I never saw that Preston article, but it was the first thing I told my wife when I saw Maxx at practice on Sunday.. He's big but has no real muscualr definition. Crockett and Boyle are monsters. Quote
TBird Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Gilmore is a great blocker but remember, Nick Boyle might be the best blocking TE. Gilmore was the guy Ozzie drafted after they drafted 3 straight D guys and Kubes said I need blockingso Ozzie drafted Gilmore. He can catch too as he iced the wild card game with a TD in Pissburgh.Kubes has known Gilmore for years as he was college teammates on his sons team and he's fromHouston and saw all Kubes games as head coach.. Maxx is more of a receiver than blocker at this stage, I think. Quote
TBird Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 The NFL Network is showing camps from every team as they go around the league so here'sa couple of updates from enemy territory. The Bengals practices were down right terrible according to the announcer. Tons of mistakesby almost everyone especially the secondary and front 7 and of course the QB on offense butit's early in camp and that's why they're long. Then they showed the Squeelers camp. It's at a nice college in southwest Penn that looks a lotlike Western MD College with the hills. They still seem to have secondary probs. Gilmore icedthe wild card with a TD on a crossing pattern and ran by everyone down the sideline. Their top two receivers easily scored by running crisp routes from the red zone. RememberHeywood-Bey from Maryland. They signed him last year but he didn't impress but this year heis and scored vs that secondary. That's two easy scores in the only two plays I saw vs theirsecondary. They answered Perriman's huge size by drafting a 5'8 midget in the early rounds. ILMAO Bisciotti is pissed about playing in NE every year and he wants the home dates for the POs.Ravens gotta win the division and that's their goal. Bungals are flat but it's early in camp butJoe's been looking great while Dalton has not as far as I saw. Ravens have one of the most beautiful bldgs and training centers. A little small compared tothe Jets new facility which cost them $75M and they have a mini stadium for their fans to seethe practices on 4.5 fields. San Diego has a nice facility. It's a nice gorgeous low-rise building but 10 times a long as the Castle with a fence with fans leaning vs it to watch the practices with multiple fields. Giants have a huge new facility too and KC has a nice one, so does Cleveland. Art reallyhated leaving that complex. It still pissed me off Ravens stopped in Westminister. I went to every camp til they stopped itduring the lockout. They held it in OM and kept it there but only a few PSL holders can go ata time. There weren't many fans at Squeelers camp while Ravens had 15,000 - 20,000 pr day atWestminister. Quote
TBird Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Ravens practiced at stadium in front of thousands. Doom and Perriman remained sideline.Elam scheduled for surgery on torn biceps. Will miss entire season. His replacement, Kendrick Lewis intercepted Flacco's pass on final drive. Perry intercepted Schaub's pass with the scrubs. Rookie class looked good in pads last night. Quote
oldno82 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Time for Bisciotti to take some of that $1 billion he's made and buy some land around OM to build a fan-friendly area with parking. Quote
cravnravn Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Time for Bisciotti to take some of that $1 billion he's made and buy some land around OM to build a fan-friendly area with parking.No, move the hell back to Westminster where camp belongs!!!! Quote
vmax Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 A week from Thursday is the 1st preseason game. Quote
cravnravn Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 A week from Thursday is the 1st preseason game. NBC carrying it? According to my paper its on TV down here. Whooot whoooot Quote
oldno82 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 A week from Thursday is the 1st preseason game. Really looking forward to it even though it's preseason. It seems like this off season has been sooooo long. We made a lot of good moves during it, I think, and I'm hoping to see some talent on display even if outcome is meaningless. Quote

TBird Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Twitter notes from MIkie Prestone. Aarons are on Houston Texans. Mikie was surprised as hell with Brady's suspension. Kraft needs to shut up andtake the punishment. Mikie is unimpressed with Maxx and doesn't see how he is first strIng. CAVEAT: LAST ARTICLE BY EISENBERG SAID MAXX HAD HIS BEST PRACTICE YET ANDMOVED HE CHAINS IN THE RED ZONE AS ADVERTIZED. Mikie is impressed with Nick Boyle, TE from Delaware and says he will surprise people.He's tough blocker, has good hands and can catch and might be the best blockingTE on team. Gilmore is way ahead of Maxx for 1st TE position. Suggs reports in better shape than the last camp - leaner and meaner as he still hasthat first step explosion. Ravens trying to talk Smith SR into taking less snaps but Ravens have to developsomeone to pick up the part SR leaves. THAT IS ALL. https://twitter.com/search?src=typd&q=mike%20preston Quote
cravnravn Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Why would asking Sr to take less snaps be a topic of discussion? Only in Prestons eyes, would did they take his press pass away? Oh that's right billick was at camp yesterday and we all know bow much he liked mikey. Quote
TBird Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 As soon as last season ended the front office was concerned about SR's age 36. That's old in football terms and Ravens need to pace him so he doesn't burn outearly. SR thinks he's 26 the way he plays and goes at it 100% on every play. Trouble is, there's no experience behind him and Ravens have to develop someonelike Mikie says. Quote
TBird Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Tucker booms 64 yard FG in practice on Monday. Would have tied an NFL record had it been a game. Tuck just shrugs it off. Quote
varaven45 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Tuckers long range accurate field goals may prove critical in several games this year . Dang glad we have him ! Quote
oldno82 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Brown and Perriman still aren't practicing. I'm just starting to get worried (I'm glad it was just a 'tweak' that Harbaugh said about Perriman and that he would be back to practice in '1 or 2 days') Quote
TBird Posted August 6, 2015 Author Posted August 6, 2015 Yea, just like someone said, if HARBs said he just tweeked it, you know it's more serious. Gruden talked about one of Tuck's 60 yd FGs and said it's the speed of his hips and howfast he turns them on the kicks. You know how those soccer style FG kickers go. Its onhow fast they turn the hips according to Gruden. Quote
